Security camera use on campus may infringe on student rights
The image shows a cityscape with multiple buildings. In the foreground, there is a large parking lot filled with cars. In the background, there are more buildings, including one with a distinctive spherical structure on top. The sky appears overcast.
An inconspicuous security camera sits high above Memorial Stadium. This camera is part of a new $20,000 security system the KU Athletics Department and the KU Public Safety Office installed in mid-November. In addition to monitoring the stadium's stands, the cameras also have a clear view of the parking lots, the Campanile and other public areas.

They watch you when you walk through the Kansas Union and work on computers,when you eat at Mrs.E's and pay a parking ticket. And now, even sports fans are under their gaze.
At least 40 security cameras monitor students on campus today, and the number keeps growing. The threat of being under constant watch may be only a recollection from George Orwell's book 1984, but the University of Kansas is no exception to a national trend toward increased surveillance of citizens.
Ten years ago, cameras watched students in places like Learned Hall and outside the KU Public Safety Office. Since 1995, security cameras have appeared elsewhere, such as in the Kansas Union, Allen Fieldhouse, Mrs. E's and the parking department.
Although some may think that surveillance makes us safer, the use of security cameras endangers personal liberties, said William Staples, University of Kansas professor of sociology.
"There is an issue of where we are going as a society," said Staples, the author of Everyday Surveillance: Vigilance and Visibility in Postmodern Life. "It seems to me like we are on a slippery slope if we start to decide that everything people do must be watched."
Signs warn about cameras in use, but many students still do not realize how much their lives on campus are recorded. Sam Lane, Leavenworth senior and member of The University Daily Kansan's editorial board, said he had no idea cameras were monitoring him.
"It's security overkill," he said. "I don't like to be catalogued that much. It's invasive."
Some students work under the unblinking gaze of the cameras. Renee Horinek, Topeka junior, is a Hawk Shop employee in the Kansas Union.
"I just don't like to be watched," she said.
On Nov. 1, a new $20,000 security camera system was installed in Memorial Stadium. The two new cameras have monitored tailgating and football games since Nov. 2. They can pan, tilt and zoom, catching in their view parts of the parking lots by Potters Lake, the tunnel entrance to the Kansas Union and Campanile Hill, said Chris Carey, assistant director of police operations.
Police use the cameras to monitor the crowds and record officers entering the
stands. Besides assuring police safety, the tapes have helped prosecute offenders, said John Mullens, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office.
"We would just show the defense lawyer the videotape and the cases rarely went to court," he said.
Whether video evidence seals a suspect's fate depends on what the tape shows, said David Gottlieb, University of Kansas law professor. "In the case of Rodney King, the tapes weren't enough for that jury to convict."
When he attended the Nov.2 football game, Tim Bredehoft did not realize security cameras monitored the crowd, but said he does not have a problem with the security system.
"It seems to me like we are on a slippery slope if we start to decide that everything people do must be watched."

"I don't think it's a big deal," the Lawrence senior said. "It's meant to help people on the whole."
Cameras can help authorities enforce rules, but should be used only
Minority faculty goal unmet
By Ashley Arnold and Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Specials to the Kansan
Keesha Middlemass is among 168 minority faculty members out of 1,472 at the University of Kansas. The assistant professor in political science said even though her colleagues' doors were always open something was missing.
"The social isolation is very evident. There are a lack of role models and mentors going through the specific things I am dealing with," Middlemass said.
Middlemass said the isolation she experienced as a minority stems from the lack of overall minority faculty at the University. Chancellor Robert Hemen-

way set a goal to have 200 minority faculty by 2000. In 2002, the University is 32 minority faculty members short of Hemenway's goal.
Hemenway set the goal in 1995 when there were 125 minority faculty members at the University. Although the numbers have increased since then, Hemenway said the increase was not enough.
"We have been operating from the premise that we have to have a faculty that represents the face of America," Hemenway said.
Hemenway said the unmet goal was due partly to some minorities holding doctorates in some disciplines such as mathematics and engineering. Other universities are also looking to increase their minority faculty, and this competition makes the demand high and increasing salaries are needed to accomplish this goal.
Hemenway plans to continue working to meet the goal of 200 minority faculty members. He said that a diverse university created a learning environment

City bus system to seek more riders with promotions

Although ridership on the Lawrence Transit System continues to grow, city officials say they think the system could be marketed better.
Last December the city bus system saw 600 riders per day. The numbers now indicate an increase to 900 riders per day. Karin Rexroad, the city's public transit administrator, said limited marketing was the reason for low ridership.
"I think that was probably one of the areas that we didn't put much attention on as we should have," Rexroad said. "We were so worried about the nuts and bolts of the system that we didn't do as much publicity in the paper or radio. I think

City, University officials face hurdles to implement affordable shared-ridership program for students
By Vonna Keomanyvong
vkeomanyvong@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Five months ago, KU on Wheels and Lawrence Transit officials attended a conference in Massachusetts to learn how other university and city systems worked together. Mike Appleby, director of KU on Wheels, said he learned from the conference that other universities' bus systems were different from KU on Wheels because it was privately owned, and that a lot of work would have to go into merging the city and KU systems.
A partnership between KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit System has been in the works for two years, but students are still waiting to reap the benefits.
Appleby said because KU on Wheels was privately owned, its buses did not have to provide wheelchair access. To work with the Lawrence Transit System.
"Our main mission right now is to get students from home to school and back again," Appleby said. "We're not here to take you shopping or to work but it would be nice if we could."
KU on Wheels would have to comply with the Federal Transit Authorities' American Disability Act regulations for public systems.
"Because KU on Wheels is a private system and has a less stringent set of ADA guidelines to comply with, we can't take on ridership from the city or issue transfers between the two systems," Appleby said.
KU on Wheels also did not comply with the ADA standards for public system because it already had LiftVan, which picked up physically handicapped students at their homes, Appleby said.
"We derive 60 percent of our funding for operations from the sale of bus passes and we derive the other 40 percent from a transit fee that is built in everyone's campus fee," Appleby said. "We have enough funding to keep things operating so there's no reason for us to apply for federal funding. So there's no reason for us to meet those ADA requirements."
Rachel Magaro, Sao Paulo, Brazil, senior, has been blind for 19 years. She said she wished that KU buses were

Art pieces on campus, including the Jayhawk in front of Strong Hall and the Uncle Jimmy statue in front of Lippincott Hall, were wrapped in cloth yesterday to recognize World AIDS Dav.
A Day Without) Art began in 1989 as a national day of action to mourn the loss of AIDS victims.
Organizers wanted to draw atten
tion to the plight of AIDS sufferers by disguising prominent art pieces.
According to the Visual AIDS Web site, since the event's founding an estimated 8,000 museums, galleries, art centers, service organizations, libraries, high schools and colleges have taken part internationally.

Fire damages native grass cause of flames unknown
Flames damaged a plot of native prairie grass near the intersection of Sunnyside Avenue and Sunflower Road last night.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical firefighters responded to the fire at 8 p.m. and extinguished the flames within 20 minutes, Battalion Chief Bill Stark said. He said the fire damaged less than an acre at the northeast corner of the intersection, south of the Hall Center for the Humanities.
The cause of the fire and damage estimate was undetermined yesterday, Stark said. The department doesn't estimate damage when only grass is harmed, he said.

Drug offenders may get
treatment instead of prison
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A joint legislative committee that oversees corr
rections plans to introduce a bill aimed at easing prison overcrowding by putting nonviolent drug users in a treatment program instead of lock up.
The proposal is in response to the growing prison population in Kansas, which is bulging to 99 percent of capacity and is nearing 9,000. Officials said the upward trend was expected to continue for at least the next decade.
The Kansas Sentencing Commission proposed the program to lawmakers as the best way to open prison space without sacrificing public safety.
The proposal calls for assessing and treating a limited number of drug offenders. Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison, vice chairman of the commission, said the proposal called for a conservative approach.
To be effective, the treatment program would have to be used statewide, the commission says.
Some areas of the state have treatment programs now, while others do not.
Men suspected of murdering KU student released
WORLD
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — A judge ruled Friday there wasn't enough evidence to hold two men accused of killing a University of Kansas student in Costa Rica, a prosecutor said in a newspaper article published yesterday.
The ruling freed one man, and the other suspect, a 50-year-old man, was being held on separate drug smuggling charges, prosecutor Erick Ramirez told A! Dia.
The two men had been charged in the stabbing death of Shannon Martin, who was in Costa Rica finishing a research project. She was killed May 13,2001.
Ramirez told the newspaper that a female suspect's statement was the only evidence prosecutors had against the men. It was unclear whether prosecutors would appeal the judge's ruling.

Week of safety awareness begins today
By Jenna Goepfert
jgoeppfert@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Increasing awareness of campus safety resources is the focus of Campus Safety Week, which begins today and ends Thursday.
The events, sponsored by Student Senate's Campus Safety Advisory Board, will cover a new theme every day, including traffic safety and safe sex. Campus and city safety organizations will present related topics each night at various campus locations.
Members of the board will distribute hot chocolate and flyers
with information about the day's theme on Wescow Beach from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
Board members will offer a campus safety survey at tables on Wescoe Beach. The survey also will be distributed at residence and scholarship halls, fraternities and sororites, said Andy Knopp. Manhattan junior and chairman of the advisory board.
The survey's intent is to provide the board with an agenda for the next year and a half.
"I'm sure we'll hand out a lot of hot chocolate," Knopp said. "And I'm really hoping to get over 1,000 surveys returned."
Knopp said the committee
hoped to use student suggestions to decide the distribution of the campus safety fee, a $2 fee which full-time students are required to pay every semester. The money can be used for lighting and other safety issues.
"A lot of people I talk to say, Yeah, we need better lighting,' and, 'We need more blue phones," Knopp said. "Other people have different ideas about what we need. So this is a chance to get out there for a week and spend some time seeing what it is students want us to do with their money."
Finding support and funding for free-access campus telephones is one of Knopp's goals.
The board also wants to promote awareness of a new permanent e-mail address, safety@ku.edu, which will provide a centralized place for students to send concerns and comments about campus safety, Knopp said.
John Mullens, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office and member of the advisory board, said safety issues were relevant as students prepared to leave for winter break — especially theft and an increase of traffic accidents due to inclement weather.
Mullens said common sense

Endangered Species Act could change under new bill proposed in Congress
— Edited by Nicole Roché
By Lindsey Hodel
hodel@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Parts of the Endangered Species Act may be in danger.
A new bill has come before Congress to exempt private property, military lands and all plant species from the act. Rep. James Hansen, R-Uttah, proposed the bill on Nov. 18 in an effort to eliminate many of the costs and hassles associated with the 1973 Endangered Species Act.
"The act places huge burdens on landowners," said Tracey Shifflett, a representative of Hansen's resources committee. "When landowners suspect they have an endangered species on their land, they have to contract studies that cost the builders and the government a lot of money."
The bill is sparking local action
from members of KU Environs. Members are planning a letter-writing campaign to oppose the legislation during their meeting at 8:30 p.m.on Dec. 3 in the Kansas Union.
Celeste Fish, Pittsburg junior, has already written a letter to U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., stating her opposition to the bill.
"I told him how detrimental to the environment it would be," she said. "I'm going into work in sustainable development, and this bill scares me because it would make my job in the future much harder."
Issues of homeland security and cost of enforcement are other reasons why Hansen proposed the exemptions, Shifflett said. The bill would offer more leeway for military bases, which do not comply with the act.
"The Homeland Security Act is
putting higher demands on the military," Shifflett said. "If they don't have the space and the resources to do that, they can't effectively protect our country."
Because this year's Congressional session has adjourned, the bill will be reintroduced next year. The bill, although dead, could make it easier for somebody else to pass the changes, Shifflett said.
Stacy Fagan, Wellington junior and a member of the Air National Guard, said military strength and environment compliance did not have to clash.
But Fagan said she felt preserving the environment was important. "Overall, I think the military should stay out of environmental issues," she said.

Mail flow remains steady
Christmas rush brings little change to local post offices

Kansan staff writer
Although the rush to mail Christmas cards and packages is in full swing, it's a stable time of year for the Lawrence post office.
But that stable flow of mail doesn't mean students and residents should wait to send their Christmas greetings.
Lawrence Postmaster Bill Reynolds recommends cards and letters be mailed by Dec. 15 for delivery by Dec. 25. Packages should be mailed by Dec. 10.
"People do a better job of early mail ing than they used."
to," he said. "I think they're more conditioned to us. Retailers are helping us, putting their Christmas stuff out at Thanksgiving."
The Lawrence post office began seeing a slight increase in packages at the end of last week.
The post office sees an increase in Christmas mailing from Lawrence residents while students are busy or leaving town for winter break, Reynolds said.
"A lot of students are worried about their finals that week before and it's not a great time for them to be sending Christmas cards," Reynolds said.
Laura Johnson, Overland Park junior, has been preparing her Christmas cards for a week and hopes to have them sent this week. She said she mailed cards last year and didn't have a problem having them delivered on time.
"I like to get them out a little bit early, just so you can enjoy them more," Johnson said. "When you send them all at the same time, you get bombarded with them."
Reynolds said it was important to mail things early because the nationwide mail system received large increases in mail during the Christmas season. It is also a good idea to ship mail early in case of inclement weather near the holiday, he said.
Reynolds also recommended the sender put his or her address, the delivery address and a list of the package's contents inside the box or envelope in case of an accident

University senate should leave world issues alone
"The Student Senate shall work to represent students on university, local, state national and international levels." Article I of the Student Senate rules and regulations.
These are noble words by our elected representation. Perhaps a bit too noble as their lofty ambitions oftentimes overshoot any realistic goals.
The fall semester is almost over and its necessary to evaluate how Student Senate has used its finite time to represent the students of the University of Kansas. Most of its resources and meetings have been devoted to debating the funding given for the various student groups on campus. This is a fine area to be focused on because one of the main purposes of Student Senate is to allocate student fees in a cost effective manner.
It's when Student Senate tries to go beyond the confines of this University that one should examine its efficiency. In the past two months, Student Senate has passed resolutions regarding the Food and Drug Administration's blood donations, denouncing the "Romeo and Juliet" laws in Kansas and honoring the late Paul Wellstone.
No one can deny that the deaths of Senator Wallestone and his family were tragic. But to use up the time of members of the Senate to draft, amend, debate and pass a bill takes away from more pressing issues right here on campus.
For that matter, a cost/benefit analysis should have been done for these bills
Senators should have asked themselves how much work would be involved in passing a particular bill and how great an effect the bill would have.
Had Student Senate done this, they would have concluded that bills like 2003-304, a resolution denouncing the war against Iraq, were futile. It fails the above analysis for two reasons.
First, the bill has been debated for two months now. It has been written up, discussed, revised, addressed and rewritten again. At the same time, more worthy proposals are postponed or shelved due to a lack of time.
Second, even if the entire student body rallied together as one unified voice denouncing an siege upon Saddam Hussein's territory, it wouldn't make a bit of difference. President Bush does not look to KU's Student Senate for advice on foreign policy. Quite frankly, he doesn't care.
But the fact is campus is not unified in its outlook. Who is the Student Senate to speak for the students on this issue? The senators were not voted in to address US foreign policy. Yet without even the benefit of a straw poll, they claim to be "representing the students" as they unilaterally condemn the Iraq invasion.
More attention needs to be spent or the issues that affect the University. More time must be used on problems Student Senate can actually resolve.

PERSPECTIVES
Security bill should prevent room for frivolous lawsuits
COMMENTARY
While the Homeland Security Bill was passed, at least one crucial element of our country's plan to fight terrorism and protect citizens was left out of the final version. Senate Democrats, along with some moderate Republicans, voted not to include provisions that would limit lawsuits against drug manufacturers who produce vaccines such as the one for smallpox.
The United States government has already asked private drug companies to begin manufacturing the smallpox vaccine. (The smallpox vaccination was not manufactured in the United States for many years because it had been eradicated). Evidently, there is a great enough threat of terrorist use of the virus as a biological weapon that the government believes citizens could be vaccinated some time in the future.
COMMENTARY
Analysts predict that if 1 million Americans were infected with smallpox, over 300,000 would die. To prevent that tragedy, we should be vaccinated against it. Sounds simple, right?
Audrey Snyder
oninov@kaysin.com
However, those same analysis predict if I million people were vaccinated against smallpox, about one person would die because of the vaccine, presumably from allergic reactions or complications. Their families would
To many drug companies, the investment might very well not be worth the returns. These companies stand to lose billions of dollars or even be sued out of business if they answer the government's request to manufacture the smallpox vaccine. It is unreasonable to expect that these businesses would risk losing their business by making vaccines for which they could very well be sued.
Vaccine lawsuits, if multiple drug companies were involved, could spell disaster for the entire industry. This is an industry that not only produces all kinds of medications, but that is extremely innovative in developing new medications, treatments and vaccines for all kinds of illnesses.
In response to this concern Republicans in Congress included the provision that would limit lawsuits against
vaccine manufacturers in the Homeland Security Bill.
In the interest of public health alone, Congress should have passed this portion of the bill. The numbers of Americans at risk for fatal reaction to a smallpox vaccination is substantially lower than the number who would die if exposed to the disease. Obviously, if the threat is real, we have to protect our citizens and limit their ability to sue manufacturers of the lifesaving vaccine.
Democrats claimed their opposition to that portion of the bill was because it protected Republicans' special interests, the pharmaceutical industry. While protectionism may be a byproduct of this part of the legislation, the purpose was to protect American citizens.
Democrats usually receive great amounts of campaign contributions from trial lawyers, those who stand to profit most from unlimited lawsuits against drug manufacturers. It seems the Democrats were also committed to special interests during this debate.

Make the effort to stay connected with your closest friends
This past week, something happened that I didn't expect to happen when I was only 21. I finally saw the girl that I had been best friends with from fourth grade through junior year of high school for the first time in about four years.
She hadn't moved so far away that it was impossible to keep in touch, nor had we had some great falling out. We had both been going through some changes in high school and had gradually stopped talking to one another. I think I may have bumped into her in the halls twice senior year.
After high school graduation, I didn't think I'd ever see her again.
Then she called my parents and got
When I saw her again, gave her a big hug and met her husband of one year. I immediately regretd letting a friendship that encompassed years of my childhood disintegrate so quickly.
my number, and when we first talked on the phone, we spent an hour and a half, catching up on the last four years.
It seemed strange, because reunions like this shouldn't happen until you're old and gray, right?
GUEST COMMENTARY
.
Okay, so I admit, it isn't as big a deal as some reunion you see on Oprah where two people needed a detective service to find each other after forty years and were comparing pictures of their grandchildren. This is not the stuff of a made for a TV movie on Lifetime.
Caroline Boyer
opinton@hansan.com
Still, it seemed strange for me to have gone so long without seeing someone I used to spend practically all my time with, and to be content with the belief that I probably wouldn't see her again.
This was someone who I had thought I would know all my life, the one person outside of my sister who I had figured
would definitely be a bridesmaid in my wedding and visa versa. Now here I was, and I had missed her wedding entirely.
Then I think about my mom, who had one of her best friends and roommates from college as a bridesmaid in her wedding. My mom has barely seen or heard
Looking around at my friends now, I wonder how long it will be after we graduate before we lose touch. It's understandable that after college people move on and go off to work in different states. You can't stay as closely connected to your college friends as you are now forever. Yet it seems strange that the people I feel so close to now may only be a fond memory in five or 10 years.
from this friend since then, and it's been 25 years.
Why do we let such great friendships completely dissolve? These are the people who, you paried with and went on road trips with. they are maybe even the people you plan to have, or already have had, in your wedding.
After graduation, you may plan to move to some city far away to work and meet new people, which is what is to be expected. But at least make an attempt to keep in contact with your closest friends. It's surprising how easily they are forgotten.

'Extreme'movie fails to impress

Now, we have Extreme Ops, about a whole posse of extreme sports artists who capture their elaborate stunts on videotape, then tangle with Eastern European terrorists.

Renee Horinek, Topeka junior, works several nights a week in the Hawk Shop at the Kansas Union. The television monitor in the Hawk Shop displays images from nine cameras in the Union. Horinek said Hawk Shop employees should be responsible for the security of the entire building.
for that exact purpose, Bredehoft said. "If they start using them to find out information about people to hurt them, that's not OK," he said.
The University was following other universities in their use of security cameras, said Brad Nachtigal, director of facilities and events with the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation.
"KU is about five years behind on security systems in comparison with other Big 12 schools," said Nachtigal, who worked at the University of Nebraska and the University of Arkansas before coming to KU.
"The technology has expanded tremendously, and the price of cameras has dropped drastically." Mullens said. "The cost of a camera can be much cheaper than hiring personnel."
Students visiting the Kansas Union pass under the gaze of 11 cameras while in the building and the bookstore.
The Union is considering adding more, but it's taking students' privacy into account, said Wayne Pearse, building engineer. "We are being cognizant of the Big Brother issue," he said.
Cameras in the Union monitor the Hawk Shop, the computer lab, and the fourth floor hallways. Because the fourth floor remains open all night as a study area, surveillance cameras ensure the safety of employees and students after hours, said David Mucci, director of the Kansas Union.
Police could use the tapes if someone was ever assaulted or stole computer equipment, Mucci said, though so far there have been no real problems. Although he has seen proposals for adding more cameras, Mucci said the Union may not have funding to do so.
"KU is about five years behind on security systems in comparison with other Big 12 schools."
Brad Nachtigal Director of facilities and events with KU Athletics
Because the union's system is not digital, tapes are recorded over after 24 hours unless something happens. Upgrades to a digital system may come soon, but again, lack of funding may slow the process, Mucci said.
The Union's existing surveillance cameras are clearly marked, which Mucci said
helped students accept the surveillance.
The Hawk Shop's television monitor is the only place to view what the cameras are recording. "We needed a central place to check what was going on in the building." Mucci said.
But Renee Horinek. Hawk Shop employee, said she does not think she and other student workers should be responsible for the security of the building.
"It's not like we can really do anything if something happened," said Horinek, who works from 8 p.m. to midnight several nights a week.
She said she had mixed feelings about the cameras in the hallways of the building.
I can understand cameras in
the computer labs because the equipment is expensive and students pay for it," she said, "but I don't think the cameras in the hallways have any purpose."
Although many may think cameras can deter crime, mixed evidence exists as to whether this is true, Professor Staples said.
One reason people support increased surveillance is a real fear of crime. Staples said. But, the media have also played a role.
"Video cameras are best at documenting disaster," he said. "You see footage on the news of people having their chests blown open in convenience store robberies, but the people are still dead."
"Today we live in a culture in which the bulk of our cultural knowledge about the world
"I can understand cameras in the computer labs because the equipment is expensive and students pay for it,but I don't think the cameras in the hallways have any purpose."

comes from the media," he said. "The media has created an exaggerated sense of fear."
Issues of privacy especially exist when considering surveillance in public places. Staples said.

The Dole Institute will have security cameras installed next fall.

"The Constitution suggests that we have the right to move around without being watched and having our faces scanned by face-recognition software." Staples said.
Surveillance cameras also pose more practical worries, he said, such as who has the control over the tapes.
"Somebody might decide arbitrarily down the road that what they have on tape is important or newsworthy," he said. "It could end up on the Internet or on CNN without permission."
The increase of surveillance cameras also concerns Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of the Kansas division of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"It changes what it means to live in a free society," he said. "People worry about the change in character of the country when you have Big Brother watching you."
To balance security with protecting personal liberties, institutions using surveillance cameras should warn people when they are in use, Kurtenbach said.
At Learned Hall, cameras have watched students for more than 15 years. Twelve cameras

ABOVE: Security directors recently installed a new security system in Learned Hall that monitors computer labs, classrooms and the construction site outside the building. The system of cameras feeds into a control room where a series of monitors displays all the images. The system is used to deter theft and help enforce departmental policies such as the no-food-or-drink rule.
Zach Straus/Kansan
are in use in the engineering department's student computer labs and classrooms.
Lance Rombough supervises the security system that monitors four computer labs in Learned Hall. A $20,000 network replaced the old system this year. Cameras show what is going on in computer labs and classrooms on a centralized group of screens.
The cameras discouraged people from walking off with computer parts, said Rombough, director of engineering computing services.
"They are used as a deterrent," he said. "The cameras are taken for granted. People notice them, but only once and then they forget about them."
The lab's cameras also help enforce the lab's no-food-or-drink policy. The help desk employee can send an instant computer message to whoever is seen eating or drinking in the computer labs.
"Students are usually surprised and start looking around for the cameras," he said.
That is exactly what Melissa Bryan did when she got a message on her computer for bringing a water bottle into the lab.
"I just put my water bottle under my desk and went back to work," the Andover senior said.
The cameras in the labs are effective at enforcing the food and drink policy, but could be put to better use, she said.
"I think it's interesting they only have them in the labs instead of in the dark parking lots," she said. "I sometimes leave the building at midnight by myself."
Every engineering student signed a contract when registering to use the computer labs. Rombough said, so privacy is not an issue. The contract warns
about the cameras.
Bryan said she did not remember the warning when signing her contract. "I signed up for my computer account when I was a freshman and haven't updated it since," she said.
The engineering department's system is digital, so footage is recorded onto a hard drive and can be kept forever. Rombough said.
Those who worry about the use of surveillance cameras should not expect the courts to back them, said Professor Gottlieb. In public places, the Constitution would not likely prohibit the use of cameras, he said.
"The Supreme Court would likely find that people have to expect they are going to be watched and photographed in public places," he said.
Although Big Brother is the analogy people use when they think of surveillance in Western culture, there are differences between the developing surveillance society and Orwell's concept of a totalitarian government. Staples said.
"I found what is really going on today is surveillance from the private sector," he said. "It's not driven by a government agency."
RIGHT: Professor William Staples is the author of Everyday Surveillance: Vigilance and Visibility in Postmodern Life, in which he discusses the increased surveillance of citizens and what effect it has on our society.
As he said in his book, "Big Brother is us."

that was beneficial to students because they would be prepared to work in a diverse world.
"When we get to 200 we'll probably set another goal of 250." Hemenway said.
The U.S. Department of Education's most updated statistics from the fall of 1998 said 14.9 percent of faculty at all universities were minority. For public research universities it is 15.6 percent.
According to KU's Office of Institutional Research and Planning, 12 percent of minority faculty are tenured or working toward tenure. At a similarly sized institution, the University of Colorado at Boulder, minority faculty are at 13 percent according to its Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis.
According to the University's Office of Institutional Research the mathematics department has 11 Asian and three Hispanic faculty members. It has no African-American or Native-American faculty. Few African Americans hold doctorates in mathematics, which makes it difficult when the department is looking for a new faculty member, said Jack Porter, chairman of the mathematics department.
"We're doing everything we can. In the last pool when we look for those qualifications no African Americans were on the cut-off list," said Porter.
Porter said his first priority was to look for the most qualified
people. The department looks for individuals funded for research but are also published in prestigious and scholarly journals. If he had a candidate who was African American who had exceptional qualifications he said the department would seek to hire the candidate using KU's bridge fund.
Provost David Shulenburger said $250,000 was available in the school bridge fund, which would cover a new faculty member's salary for a year. This faculty member could be a minority or someone who simply furthers the interest of the University.
Shutenburger receives requests from deans in the spring telling him how many faculty they would like to recruit for the following school year. He said every search must produce minority candidates with the Equal Opportunity Office monitoring the searches.
Danielle Dempsey-Swopes, Interim Director for the Equal Opportunity Office, said the recruitment process had three phases. The firstphase involves a recruitment plan that indicates where the department is advertising and if they are attending conferences to talk to candidates.
The second phase involves the department telling the office how it will increase diversity. The third phase is a saying who the department is interviewing and why.
she said. "Before a position be offered, the office will again look at what the department has done to increase diversity before they can make a final decision."
Dempsey-Swopes said if there were no women or minorities interviewed, the office would compare the people that were
interviewed to minorities.
"If they look the same or similar on paper we may ask them to take a second look,"
The Black Student Union works to give minority professors a reason to stay at the University said Mark Dupree, president of the Black Student Union. Last week it invited Middlemass to speak at its meeting.
"We bring them in to speak so we can get to know them. They can talk about problems they might have, and a lot of students can say 'Hey I understand,' Dupree said. "We let them know we support them in their endeavors."
Dupree, a political science major, has had only two minority faculty members at KU. Dupree said he could relate more to these professors.
He acknowledges the University is working to recruit minority faculty, but he said they aren't doing enough and students were looking for action not just talk.
"You want me as an African American to stay here but you can't have any African-American teachers that can relate to me." Dupree said.
Shannon Campbell, assistant professor of journalism, said minority faculty had tremendous pressure on their shoulders to act as role models and advisers for certain groups. Despite the pressure, she said she was blessed and lucky to bear it.
"There is a sense of feeling comfort when you see people who are like you, know you, understand your culture and what you have gone through," Campbell said.
Campbell is still uncertain as to why the University is still lacking in minority faculty.
Florence Boldridge, director of diversity programs for the school of engineering, is well aware of the importance of increasing the number of minority faculty. She said it was important for minority students to have role models.
"I think KU is in a great physical location for attracting faculty members of color. We are close to a metropolitan area," Campbell said. "We have things that a lot of flagship universities don't have."
Boldridge is in the process of hiring a recruiting coordinator within the next few weeks whose major emphasis will be recruiting women and minorities.
"I think one of the drawing cards for minority students is to see people like yourself standing before you," Boldridge said.
As a minority, Middlemass said she offered a different perspective for the classroom as well as the University.
"I'm going to teach a politics class differently. You don't just want a white middle class male professor. I bring in a different way of looking at the world," Middlemass said.

that if we could have gotten that kind of excitement in the beginning, that would have meant better ridership for us."
Rexroad said one of the marketing problems she found was that people did not know how to use the bus system.
"When we first started, we learned real quick that people
are fearful of getting out there and riding the bus," Rexroad said. "That's when we decided that we had to do more 'how do you ride the system' orientations to get folks out there."

The promotions include free Usher tickets, World's of Fun tickets and CDs.
Other plans include putting up 48 bus shelters, 100 benches and bus-stop signs around Lawrence within the next three years.
"With kids we're setting a pattern," Rexroad said. "Transportation can get you where you need to go. And I think that, if you learn that as a kid, you'll
take it with you into adulthood and see transportation as an alternative."
Rexroad said she wanted the new marketing plan to increase ridership by 3 percent by the end of the year.
"We're looking at steady growth," Rexroad said. "You're not going to see any bells and whistles but we just want to get the message out."

"I can't ride LiftVan because I don't have a physical handicap but it is hard to ride the bus because my guide dog and I take up a lot of space," Magario said. "I never find a seat open up front and sometimes nobody ever gets up."
Appleby said if KU on Wheels did not find federal funds to pay for the new ADA-compliant buses, students could see an
increase in transit fees from $16 to $25 or $30. Appleby said by doubling the fees, KU on Wheels could rely solely on student fees for 100 percent of its operating budget in three or four years.
"If we can get to that stage, then all you would have to do is get on any bus and show your KU ID and you would ride the bus essentially for free," Appleby said. "Granted you're actually paying at the beginning of the semester for privilege to ride the system, but to me, you don't have to pay a $1 to get on the bus."
Karin Rexroad, public transit administrator for the Lawrence

"There are benefits to both of us," Rexroad said. "It's a major ridership base that we would love to have a part of. That's why I think our numbers are lower."
The city was taking its time on this project to maximize the benefits for both busing organizations, Rexroad said.

Media guide provides fans with laughs
After two embarrassing losses by the men's basketball team last week in the Preseason NIT Tournament, Kansas fans need a good laugh and a positive look at the Jayhawks.
One place to receive both necessities is the team's media guide. As many college students are too poor and/or intelligent to spend $23.99 at a store such as Jayhawk Spirit or even $15 at games for a men's basketball media guide, here's a look at some of the most interesting and amusing comments by Jayhawks in the guide.
Nick Collison was the first player profiled and said his favorite food was a Snickers ice cream bar. That's appropriate considering that Collison always satisfies on the court and can be counted on for 18 points and 10 rebounds nearly every game.
Point guard Aaron Miles also has an appropriate favorite food — Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. As floor general, Miles is the captain of the team and performs well at crunch time, leading the team late in games as well as he does in the first half.
More intriguing is Kirk Hinrich's choice of dinner companion. The senior guard said that if he could have dinner with anyone in the world that he would choose former WWF star Chyna. Can you just imagine Hinrich sitting down to dine with the "Ninth Wonder of the World?" Would you want to be a fly on the wall for that conversation? Other than the admiration of many adoring and desiring fans, I can't imagine what they'd have in common to talk about.
Another appropriate choice is Bryant Nash's favorite television show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? The junior swinger has shown increased improvisational skills this year, being able to score both inside and outside. Nash also said he modeled his game after Orlando Magic star Tracy McGrady, another talented inside-outside player. If Nash can learn from both TV and the NBA, he could be a major force off the bench.
Wayne Simien shows his down-to-earth side with some of his choices as favorites. The sophomore from Leavenworth lists fishing as his favorite nonbasketball hobby and Table Rock Lake as his favorite vacation spot. The Kansas native has an unassuming, Midwestern style that fits in nicely with the teamwork and unselfishness stressed by coach Roy Williams.
Two more of the obvious comments in the guide come from Jeff Graves. The transfer from Iowa Western Community College came to Kansas overweight and out of shape, sparking Williams' ire. He may have been in better condition if grilled cheese weren't his favorite food and lounging weren't his favorite hobby other than basketball. Those two answers may go a long way in showing why Graves was in Williams' doghouse for so long.
Freshman walk-on Christian Moody became a Jayhawk with the aide of Williams' high school mentor, Buddy Baldwin. Kansas is an appropriate choice for Moody as his favorite non-basketball pro athlete — Phil Mickelson — and his favorite non-basketball pro team — the Atlanta Braves — are both known for not being able to win the big one.
My favorite comment comes from Stephen Vinson. The 6-foot-2-inch, 185-pound white freshman walk-on from Lawrence High said Shaquille O'Neal would be the actor to portray him in the movie of his life. Thanks for the laughs, Steve. We all need a few after last week

Kirk Rinrich waits out the final minutes of the NIT consolation game.
By Jessica Scott jsckson.kansan.com kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK — Don't expect to see members of the Kansas men's basketball team wearing "I Love New York" T-shirts around campus today.
The No. 2 team in the nation returned to Kansas this weekend a little battered from its Thanksgiving trip after dropping two straight games in the Preseason NIT Tournament. The Jayhawks' 2-2 record marks their worst start since the 1987-88 season.
In Friday night's consolation game, No. 7 Florida outplayed Kansas for all but a short time late in the second half. By the time the Jayhawks finally showed a flicker of life, the hole they were climbing out of was too deep, and Kansas lost its second game of the year, 83-73.
Friday's defeat was coach Roy Williams' second career Preseason NIT loss, but he said he was pleased the team improved from its semifinal loss to eventual champion North Carolina.
"I really do believe that we competed, especially the last 14, 15 minutes of the game." Williams said. "The kids competed, got into it emotionally and played with some passion. We weren't into it emotionally Wednesday night, and I don't know why."
In the first half, it looked as if the Jayhawks were trying to re-enact Wednesday night's loss to the Tar Heels. From the opening tip until halftime, the

Gators dominated every facet of the game and led the entire 20 minutes.
Defensive laziness hurt the Jayhawks. The starters repeatedly got beat to the goal, allowing Florida's Matt Bonner and Matt Walsh to each reach double digits by halftime. With just under nine minutes remaining, Kansas already was in the double bonus thanks to Florida's fouling problems, but the Jayhawks hurt themselves by hitting only 10-of-20 foul shots.
Senior Nick Collison, who had two points at the break, said his struggles came every time he caught the ball.
"They played a zone and when I got the ball, I wasn't making quick enough decisions," he said. "I was trying to do too much."
The Jayhawks came out rejuvenated after halftime as guards Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Miles sank back-to-back three pointers within the first minute. The energy continued to build for Kansas when sophomore Wayne Simien made two consecutive dunks. But as quickly as the Jayhawks scored, Florida's Justin Hamilton and Anthony Roberson poured in a combined 11 points in just more than one minute of play.

Women sweep California foes

The women's basketball players were a long way from their dorm rooms during Thanksgiving break, but that didn't keep them from making themselves at home.
The Jayhawks (3-0) defeated Cal State Fullerton (1-2) and San Diego (2-1) during their five-day visit to California. After winning just five games last season, Kansas is off to its best start since the 1999-2000 team began the season 5-0.
Against the Cal State-Fullerton Titans on Wednesday, sophomore forward Blair Waltz was nearly perfect. She made
all four of her free throw attempts, both of her three-point shots and was 7-9 from the field, for a career-high 20 points.
Spurred by Waltz's 13 first-half points, the Jayhawks opened a 12-point lead early in the opening stanza. Cal State-Fullerton battled back and trailed by just six with four seconds left before halftime. Freshmen guard Erica Hallman squashed any hope of a Titans comeback when she drilled a half-court three pointer at the buzzer to send the Jayhawks into the break with a 32-23 advantage. She finished the day with nine points.
After contributing just two points and one rebound during the first 20 minutes.
Three days later, the Jayhawks held San Diego to the same score while winning 59-56. The Jayhawks trailed 29-27 at the half despite a 14 -point effort by sophomore Aquanita Burras. Burras, who is tied for Kansas's leading scorer with Kemp at 15 points per game, finished the contest with a game-high 16 points.
freshmen forward Crystal Kemp caught fire in the second half. She scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds in Kansas' 66-56 victory.
Holding true to the pattern set in the Cal State-Fullerton game, another Jayhawk took control of the second half. Tamara Ransburg scored 13 points and hauled down 12 rebounds in the final 20 minutes.The 6-foot-4 freshman center
notched her first double double at Kansas, finishing with 15 points and 15 rebounds. As if that wasn't enough, she recorded six of the Jayhawks' '13 blocked shots — second highest team total for a single-game in school history.
Ransburg also hit the final free throw of the game. The score capped a 9-2 Jayhawk run that gave them the final, three point margin of victory.
Kansas will face the next threat to its unblemished record when it meets Texas Southern in the first round of the KU Classic at 7:05 p.m. on Friday. It will meet either Western Michigan or Western Illinois on Saturday.

Despite setting a school record for the most conference wins in a season and ending the regular season tied for the highest conference winning percentage, the Kansas volleyball squad fell short of being in the 64-team NCAA tournament.
Sophomores Abbie Jacobson and Jill Dorsey react as the NCAA volleyball tournament brackets are announced. The Jayhawks failed to secure a spot in this year's 64-team tournament.
"It's disappointing. I'm real proud of my team," senior defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft said. "We did really well this season and took huge strides as a program. That's something that the future of the program can look forward to."
Coach Ray Bechard said in the past, the top six teams in the Big 12 Conference have always been selected for the tournament. He said he and the players were confident the team would be selected after Saturday's win over Colorado, which gave Kansas 10 conference wins and placed them sixth in the conference.
"We were hoping to trust the history of the Big 12 Conference. In the beginning we knew that the ultimate goal was
John Nowak/Kansan
to make the NCAA tournament," Bechard said. "It didn't work out. But I don't think that takes away from anything these young ladies have accomplished."
Bechard said tough losses at home to Texas A&M and Missouri might have left the team a couple wins shy of what it needed to enter the tournament. He said he thought the nonconference opponents would be competitive and help the team strengthen its schedule, along with playing in the Big 12 Conference. But Bechard said those opponents did do as well as expected.
Before the NCAA bracket was announced, Bechard told the team that two Jayhawks received individual awards in the Big 12. Kraft was named the Big 12 defensive specialist of the year. Freshman Josiane Lima was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and honorable mention on the All Big 12 team.
Bechard said both players deserved their awards. He said there was no question the defensive specialist award would go to Kraft. "That's a position that requires energy, enthusiasm, and tremendous fortitude," he said.
"Josi as newcomer of the year makes as big of an impact on any programs as any new player on any program," Bechard said.
Kraft said she was surprised that the end of her volleyball competitive career came to an end so quickly. She said she hoped that next year's senior class could carry the team to further success.
"We're looking forward to next year. We got some good new talent coming in and got a lot of great players returning with a little more experience," Bechard said. "The future looks bright. We'll make the adjustments and a year later, we'll be back here with a little better results."

Game one: N.C.67,Kansas 56;
Hinrich's battered back key to losses, KU's future
By Jessica Scott
jscott@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK-Kansas men's basketball fans did not have a lot to be thankful for during the team's final two games of the Preseason NIT. But at least Kirk Hinrich, though hobbled, returned to Lawrence in one piece.
Hinrich strained his back in Kansas' semifinal loss to North Carolina on Wednesday after an awkward fall under the basket. The senior preseason All-American convinced his coach he felt good enough to play just two days later against Florida.
Hinrich's back appeared to affect his game against the Gators. He hit just 1-of-7 three-point attempts and ended with five points, much less than his 13.5 season average.
"He doesn't miss those shots," coach Roy Williams said. "Looking back on it now, we probably shouldn't have played him."
William said he noticed Hinrich struggling to put his shoes on, even after medical treatment, medication and a stretching routine, but he trusted Hinrich enough to make the decision. The star senior talked to his parents before
deciding to play.
"He wanted to play—he's a senior," Williams said. "He loves to play. He's a tough, kid."
After the North Carolina game, Hinrich said his back hurt and did not know if he could play against Florida.
"It's pretty sore," he said. "I don't know what's going on. It's been bothering me a little bit, but not like this."
Hinrich underwent medical tests, with results expected sometime today. He is already looking ahead to the upcoming week as his team tries to straighten itself out after the dismal tournament performance.
"We've got to get some practices under our belt and try to regain that swagger and confidence," he said. "If you told me we would come out 2-2, I would say you're crazy."
Despite a 2-for-8 shooting performance against the Gators, Williams is convinced his team needs Hinrich on the floor.
"You look at his stats and say. 'Well, he wasn't important to the game,' but he was important," Williams said. "The kids get so much strength from him."

Experience insignificant; Tar Heels trample 'Hawks
By Jessica Scott
jscott@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Javhawks gather and say a few words of inspiration before taking on the Tar Heels.
NEW YORK -The North Carolina starters -the Tar Heel teenagers -played like men among boys Wednesday night against Kansas' more experienced team.
As the overall youngest team in the nation, Carolina used its youth to its advantage in the Preseason NIT semifinals as it stunned the No. 2 Jayhawks 67-56 at Madison Square Garden.
Sophomore Keith Langford, who was plagued by foul trouble and ended with 7 points, said his team lacked the focus needed for this type of game.
"We came out, executed poorly, gave a poor effort," he said.
Kansas, which trailed for all but four minutes, constantly played catch-up as North Carolina dominated nearly every play of the game. Coach Roy Williams said he would remember this early upset for one overwhelming reason.
"This is the most embarrassed I've ever been as a coach," he said. "Their game plan was a great game plan, their coach was by far the best coach on the floor tonight, and their kids were more prepared to play. It's a sorry job on my part; there's no question about that."
Carolina freshmen combined for 43 points, led by explosive forward Rashad McCants with 25. Forward Sean May scored 8 and guard Raymond Felton scored 10. Sophomore forward Jawad Williams added 15.
expected great things from this young team.
"They are a confident group," he said. "They are a very poised group. Rashad said at one time that being a freshman is just a label."
Even before the game started, coach Doherty's squad had all the right ingredients for an upset. The nearly 11,000-person crowd heavily favored the underdogs, and the team took this momentum and ran, literally. By turning Kansas' 11 first half turnovers into 12 easy points, the Tar Heels emerged with a 38-29 halftime lead.
The Jayhawks had another problem to worry about during the break. Senior guard Kirk Himrich left the game in the first half with back problems after a fall under the basket and never got back in the flow.
As a former Kansas assistant, Doherty was familiar with the players and said he was relieved the Jayhawk superstars, including Hinrich, struggled.
"We are fortunate that their big three, which scared the mess out of me - Hinrich, Collison and Simien - were a little out of sync," he said.
"We knew their freshmen were good," he said. "They just outplayed us, bottom line. They had more intensity and more heart tonight."
Senior Nick Collison ended with 19 points, followed by Hinrich's 13 and sophomore Wayne Simien's 11. Hinrich said Wednesday that the talented young team didn't surprise him.
Langford said he agreed.

"We just weren't ready to play," senior guard Kirk Hinrich said. "We haven't had a good road trip. Guys have been showing up late. It's hopefully a wakeup call for this team."
NEW YORK OFF-court issues may have affected Kansas during its first loss of the season against North Carolina Wednesday.
Coach Roy Williams said whatever hindered the team on Wednesday was addressed immediately, with the problem fixed by Friday's connotation game.
Bryant Nash and Aaron Miles sit quietly in the locker room after losing their second straight game in the Preseason NIT tournament. At 2-2, KU is off to its worst start in 15 years.
The Jayhawks' loss to North Carolina marked the first ever meeting between Williams and former Jayhawk assistant and current Tar Heel coach Matt Doherty. As the shock of losing set in, players admitted to some non-basketball related issues. Sophomore Wayne Simien would not name who caused the problems.
"It's team stuff,not a problem."
he said. "We took care of it."
"I really can't speak for those guys," he said. "I haven't been one of those guys. I don't know what's going through their minds. It's not me, that's all I can tell you."
John Nowak/Kansan
Hinrich said team cockiness could be setting in already. Kansas, in its two season-opening wins against Holy Cross and
UNC-Greensboro, won by at least 20 points each game.
"We win two games and thought we were kind of unbeatable." Hinrich said.
In addition to tardiness and cockiness, sophomore Keith Langford said the attitude between players hindered the team's chemistry.
"Things seemed normal, but there was no love on the team," Langford said. "We just came out and hit a wall, and as soon as we recovered the wall just got bigger and bigger."
The loss ended Kansas' 12 game NIT tournament winning streak, with its last loss coming in 1985 against Duke. Williams said the starters and the bench played poorly, but his biggest disappointment was with the coaching.
"There's no way that the game should mean more to them, but that's what it was." Williams said.
"It's my job as a coach to make sure my team is more focused than we were tonight. Maybe we do believe in what everybody
was saying about how good we were."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 2).
You're a dominant force this year. Others look to you for guidance. You're a good listener and wise counselor, but there's something you may have to learn. It's OK to plan ahead and to vigorously protect your privacy.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. Just say "no" to friends who want you to overindulge. You can't afford to squander, even to have a good time. And, truth be told, neither can they.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. All is not well for somebody you care about. You can offer comfort, and that might be enough. A foot rub? A hug? You'll know.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. You'd better pack a lunch, because you might not have time to go out. You could get so involved in a fascinating project that you forget about food. Plan ahead.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6. Love is plentiful, but money may be tight. Luckily, you have a natural talent for making a lot out of a little. Besides, you're lucky now.
P
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
It's not quite as easy to get what you want,
but that might just make you more determined.
Don't let them outvote you. Put up a fight and make a good presentation.
2
Two people
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Don't get pushed into making a foolish mistake. Don't do something just because it's good for somebody else. Make sure it's good for you, too.
LEO
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
As you're compiling your lists, don't despair if you don't have a fortune to spend. Make that your excuse to get creative.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Feel like you're not getting anywhere?
Don't struggle or complain. Wait, and
conserve your strength. You may need it
soon, along with your other resources.
舞
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
Something that has you worried may be a
false alarm. If the plan isn't working the
way you expected, rework the plan.
Crab
LA JUSTICIA
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
Leave your money in your pocket or in
your savings account, whichever applies.
You won't need it to have a good time.
And leaving it behind will keep you from
buying something you'd have to take back.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6. Travel isn't such a great idea now. You might even have trouble getting your email through. Allow extra time.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 5. You're making suggestions, but somebody is coming up with reasons to reject them. This game gets old fast. Stop playing and wait for a better time.

Men bowlers place third
By Jeremy Clarkson jclarkson@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter
the University of Kansas men's bowling team found much to be thankful for after competing in the National Collegiate Team Match Games tournament in St. Louis over Thanksgiving break.
The men's team finished in third place out of 52 teams. Morehead State University won the tournament, followed by Wichita State University. The women's team finished 28th out of 36 teams.
Coach Mike Fine said this was the best showing a KU bowling team had ever had in this tournament. He said that it was the largest bowling event for the fall semester.
"If you're a major bowling program,you're at this tournament," he said.
The tournament format called for each fiveplayer team to play nine games. Tournament standings were based upon total pinfall, with an additional 50 points awarded for each team defeated in match play. The men's team finished 25-9 in match play throughout the tournament.
The men's team was led by Jesse James, Lawrence senior, who finished in eighth place with a 213.7.
Mike Fine bowling coach
average. Jason Elliott, Salina senior and Kansan designer, finished 10th, with a 213.2 average and Marc D'errico Rochester, NY junior, finished 18th overall, with a 208.2 average.
Despite finishing in 28th place, coach Fine said he was impressed with the performance of the women's team.
"If you're a major bowling program youre at this tournament."
"The women showed more progress than what was actually projected." Fine said.
The KU men's team entered the tournament ranked 12th in the collegebowling.com powerranking system. Fine said when the new polls come out in the next couple of weeks, he expected a significant jump in the standings.
The next competition for both teams will be Dec. 6-7, when the team travels to Moline, Ill., for the Leathorneck Classic tournament.
Boschee enjoys break from game
- Edited by Matt Norton
MINOT, N.D. — At age 22, Jeff Boschee is enjoying his first winter without organized basketball since he was in elementary school.
"It's been nice to walk into practice every day and not get yelled at," Boschee said. "I still work out with the team, but it's stress-free ... nice and relaxing."
Boschee, a native of Valley City, N.D., ended his college basketball career at Kansas when the Jayhawks lost 97-88 to Maryland in the NCAA Division I Final Four last March. After that, he said, he wanted to get away from basketball for a while.
The Associated Press
"I didn't touch a basketball all summer," he said.
Boschee said he continues to work out with the Jayhawks in hopes of launching a professional basketball career. He is finishing his final semester of college at KU.
He sat down with Mark Horvath, an author from Maryville, Ind., to write a book, "Long Shot: Beating the Odds to Live a KU Dream."
"I'd like to play for a few years, whether it's overseas or I get picked up here," he said. "My goal, though, is to be a college coach someday. I've learned so much from coach Williams. He's a guy who has taught a lot of college coaches."
We're watching the KU game against UNC, and Aaron Miles' deltoids are seriously huger than all of my girlfriends' boobs and mine combined, and there's five of us in the room combined. Amazing.

Yes, I was just wondering, is it just me, or can Graves, a.k.a. Dreds, play? Um, I don't think so.
And also the little freshman, Moody, he is so precious. I enjoy him.
-
I just read my own quote in the Sports Free for All about our loss to Ball State last year, and it sounded a little derogatory and slanderous. So let's just never speak of it again.
Did everybody see the guy at the basketball game on Friday with his head painted like a basketball? Basketball heads are hot.
-
38-0. Wow, Mizzou sucks.
-
Even though I like basketball heads, my guy friend thinks that the girl that was painting the guy's head like a basketball at the game on Friday is hotter than fire.
-
Aaron Miles totally looks like Rudy Huxtable.
-
-
-
Yeah, I went to the K-State/MU game yesterday, and they both still suck.
-
This information telling you how to avoid having to get back into your dorm when there's a basketball game. You ought to be at home watching the basketball game, anyway. Why are you out and about? Stay home where you belong. A basketball game is on.
I wanna give props to the intramural program at KU for getting outscored 561 to 110 at the regional flag football tournament in Lincoln, Neb.
朋
Roy Williams' coaching is as bad as William Shatner's acting ability.
-
This is for the people that call in about the basketball and football players. They're in the top two percent of all the athletes in the nation, and if any of you are in that top two percent, let the criticism begin.
图
To all those people who are knocking on Roy Williams for choking in the big games, here are some stats for you. Mike Krzyzewski took 16 years to win the first championship, Dean Smith took 21 years, and the Maryland coach that beat us last year, it took him 23 years. So next time you start knocking on Roy, look at the stats before you do, and don't knock on him.

KANSAS FOOTBALL
Whittemore named Big 12 offensive newcomer of year
Kansas junior quarterback Bill Whitmore was named Big 12 Conference offensive newcomer of the year by Big 12 coaches last week.
Whittemore completed 151-of-305 passes for 1,666 yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was the team's second-leading rusher with 549 yards, and also scored 11 rushing touchdowns. His 22 total touchdowns are a Kansas record.
He averaged 246.1 total yards per game — fourth best in the conference — before missing the final three games because of a knee injury. He is the third Jayhawk to win this award. Other winners were John Mosier (1967) and Kerwin Bell (1980).
Ten Jayhawks named to All-Big 12 academic teams
Seven members of the Kansas football team were named to the academic all-Big 12 first team and three Jayhawks were named to the second team by conference officials last week.
Zach Dyer, Barry Goodrich, Justin Henry, Jake Letourneau, Derick Mills, Travis Watkins and Darren Rus were named to the first team, and Johnny Beck, John Harvey and Brandon Lacy were named to the second team.
This is the third time Letourneau has been an all-Big 12 selection.
Student-athletes must have a 3.2 grad-point average or better for firstteam selection and a 3.0 to 3.19 GPA for second-team selection.
KANSAS SWIMMING
Amy Gruber named swimmer of month II in conference
Kansas sophomore Amy Gruber was named Big 12 Conference female swimmer of the month II for the final two weeks of November.
Two swimmers and two divers were selected for the honor last month because the majority of fall swim meets occur in November.
Gruber placed second in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events at the 2002 Nike Cup Invitational on Nov.21 through Nov.23.

Volleyball ends season with win
Members of the Jayhawk team celebrate a victory against Big 12 rival Colorado. The victory was not enough to secure the team a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Although the Kansas volleyball team did not qualify for the NCAA tournament, the team ended its season with the most conference wins in team history and bid farewell to the 2002 seniors with a win.
The Jayhawks split two matches over break to end the regular reason. After inning in three games to No. 22 Kansas State (27-30, 27-30, 14-30) Wednesday in Manhattan, Kansas (19-10 overall, 10-10 Big 12 Conference) finished the season on Senior Night beating Colorado Saturday in four games (22-30, 30-17, 30-22, 35-33) at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center.
Coach Ray Bechard said the team knew before the Colorado game it needed a win to have a chance to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
"I didn't want to add any more pressure to them. They handled it great tonight and came through when they needed to," he said.
This is the second straight season Kansas has won on Senior
In the next game with a 17-15 lead, Kansas scored six of the next seven points to take a 23-16 advantage. Kansas finished game
The Jayhawks jumped to a 8-1 start in game two. The Jayhawks evened the match winning game two 30-17.
three by taking six of the final seven points.
Night, the final home match of the season. Kansas swept the season series from Colorado (15- 15, 9-11 Big 12) for the first time.
In the final game with the game tied at 8-8, the Buffaloes make a 5-0 run to take a 13-8 lead. Kansas survived three Colorado game points with two solo blocks by sophomore middle blocker Ashley Michaelis at 29-30 and 30-31. She saved another game point at 32-11 by registering a kill. With the Jay hawks leading 34-33, freshman setter Andi Rozum registered an ace on a jump serve
that dropped on the back line to win the match. Everyone on the Kansas bench converged on the court in jubilation.
Senior outside hitter Molly Scavuzzo led the team with 18 kills in 24 attempts and only one error for a .708 hitting percentage, the highest in a single match in her career.
"They were my first true recruiting class and now we see the selection show for a chance at the tournament," Bechard said. "They've all led in different ways. We'll miss them, but hopefully we have some more volley ball to play."
Edited by Matt Norton
"I was a little over-hyped for the game, but I try not to treat it any different from any match." Scavuzzo said. "We needed this win to get into the NCAA tournament."
"We knew we'd be a little tense with some anxiety. I asked them who all there made an error. They all raised their hands and we all let it go," Bechard said.
In game one after a 4-2 Kansas lead, Colorado scored the next seven points to capture a 9-4 lead. Colorado would not look back and won game one.
Basketball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Kansas pulled within two points with seven minutes remaining in the game, but Bonner and Walsh continued to hit shots on route to 22 points each. Sophomore Keith Langford, who finished with a teamhigh 17 points, said his team needed a fiercer mindset to be successful.
Collison and Simien both scored 16 points, while point guard Aaron Miles ended with 11. Senior Kirk Hinrich, who almost did not play because of back problems, finished with
"This team has to find its own identity." Langford said. "We were very capable of performing tonight. It's just a lack of mental preparation. We have to come out and attack like we did in the second half, and until we do that, we'll keep losing."
five points.
Simien said he's not worried about his team after the two quick losses this season.
"It's not going to be easy by any means, but if you ask me if I'm concerned? No, I'm not," Simien said. "We've got a good coaching staff. We got a lot of guys and we all know what we have to do, both individually and as a team. Now it's just a matter of doing it."
Langford said he was just thankful for the trip to New York because it gave his team motivation to prove its critics wrong.
"I would rather have these two losses now rather than come conference time or tournament time," he said. "Obviously, I'm sad we lost, but when it comes down to it, I think it will help us."

Student helps catch criminals in robbery
By Michelle Burhenn mburhenn@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Punching through a car window and hitting the driver in the face had fruitful results for Jake Marston. It led not only to an arrest and the recovery of his property, but to the recovery of other stolen property as well.
Marston, Hesston junior, was eating with a few friends Saturday at Old Chicago, 2329 Iowa St. After he paid the tab, he left the restaurant about 10:50 p.m.
"I knew it was my speaker box right away, so I went into a dead sprint," he said.
"I was about 10 feet out the door when I noticed my hatch of my Ford Explorer was open." Marston said.
He said he saw two men carrying his large speaker box into a blue Saab.
One of the men slammed his car door shut and locked it, he said. Reacting instantly, Marston punched through the driver's side window of the Saab and punched the driver a few times.
"I don't know what was going through my mind," he said, "Nothing for safety—what if he had had a gun? What if he had had a knife? None of that was going through my head. I just wanted my stereo back."
The two men then pealed out of the parking lot, flinging Marston away from their car. But he was able to get a description of the two men and their car. Police arrived a few minutes later, he said.
Lawrence police Lt. David Cobb said police officers noticed a blue Saab in the 1400 block of Kasold Drive that matched Marston's description. When police pulled over the car, they searched the vehicle and found Marston's 12-inch subwoofer, 500-watt amplifier and 250-watt amplifier. Police also found a Pioneer car stereo that a 22-year-old KU student had reported stolen from his car in the Southwinds Theater parking lot between 7:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. that night.
Police arrested Kevin Allen Chamberlain, 22, and Ralph Joey Beilman, 23, both of Topeka. Beilman was charged in Douglas County District Court yesterday with automobile burglary, theft and criminal damage to property. Chamberlain will be charged later this week, said Brad Burke, Douglas County assistant district attorney.
district attorney. Marston's stolen items, valued at $750 were returned to him later that night.
"It was definitely worth it," he said of his injured hand. "I was very lucky that I wasn't hurt more and I got my stereo back."

Battling the beast:
KU Med research team creates HIV vaccine that FDA may approve for human testing
STORY BY LINDSAY HANSON. PICTURES BY JOHN NOWAK
No one has conquered HIV yet, but a team of researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center is working to move a step closer this spring.
Bill Narayan, chairman of microbiology, molecular genetics and immunology at the Med Center, guides a team of researchers studying a precursor to an HIV vaccine being used on monkeys. Narayan has been working for more than 20 years to conquer what he calls the "beast," HIV, with a preventive vaccine. He's not there yet, but he says he's close.
The attempt to create a vaccine at the Med Center has failed more than once. But Narayan said he expected the FDA to elevate the current project to a level few of its peers have achieved: human clinical trials.
The team's work shines among a small peer group, said Dale Lawrence, a representative of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The Institute, also called NIAID, is a facet of the National Institutes of Health, the project's funding source. Since NIAID funded the first clinical HIV vaccine trial in 1988, only 26 vaccine candidates have produced 49 sets of clinical trials
Lawrence, the chief medical officer for the HIV vaccine clinical research branch of NIAID, said Narayan was leading a group with unique research methods.
"My impression, just generally speaking, is that his research is very avant-garde," he said.
The project's sponsors see its potential. Since Narayan first arrived at KU in 1993, vaccine projects at the Med Center have collected and spent $29 million from NIAID.
Backed by a team of 16 researchers which includes faculty, post-doctoral fellows and lab technicians-Narayan and others are slowly prying open the
door to the end of the AIDS pandemic that has gripped the world for two decades. The AIDS pandemic came to light in 1981 when a Kaposi's Sarcoma cancer trend emerged in gay men and baffled medical experts.
The research
Investigators are watching its performance in 71 rhesus macaque monkeys—each with a $5,000 price tag. The group needs to test the vaccine in the monkeys to confirm its effectiveness, said Shilpa Buch, assistant research professor in microbiology, molecular genetics and immunology at the Med Center.
The Med Center team has concocted a vaccine that uses the DNA of the virus to teach the body's immune system to recognize and ward off future onslaughts.
"You need an animal model, and that's the closest to humans," she said.
Rhesus macaques are an ideal species because the virus destroys their immune systems more quickly than it does in other animals. Buch said that allowed the team to test more vaccine models more frequently.
HIV takes 14,000 new victims each day, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS. Today, 40 million people around the world are living with HIV, according to NIAID statistics, and 22 million HIV-infected people have died since 1981.
But HIV corrodes the immune system at a slow pace that doesn't fit the researchers' harried time frame, Narayan said. In 70 percent of untreated HIV patients,the virus hibernates for 10 years before progressing to full-blown AIDS.
So his team is pioneering a technique to speed the virus's process of destruction. Med Center researchers have fused the human immunodeficiency
virus, HIV, with the primate version, the simian immunodeficiency virus, SIV, to form a virus so pathogenic that it withers the monkeys' immune system to full-blown AIDS in two weeks. Narayan said.
H
"If we have a vaccine to stop this monster, it sure as hell will stop HIV," Narayan said. Testing the new virus — d u b b e d SHIV-KU — in macaques works because the virus follows a disease course similar to that of HIV.
"If we have a vaccine to stop this mon-ter, it sure as well will stop 'I V,' Narayan said.

Student surviving struggle with leukemia
By George Schulz
gschulz@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Megha Vaidya never imagined that a trip to Watkins Health Center with symptoms of nausea and exhaustion would quickly snowball into a nasty bout with leukemia at St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
She was then sent to St Luke's, where on Nov. 8 she was diagnosed with acute leukemia — a type of quickly developing cancer which starts in the bone marrow and travels into the blood. It can be fatal in just a few months if not treated.
Watkins first sent Vaidya, a graduate student from Hyderabad, India, to St. Joseph's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. for tests that would show her symptoms.
Doctors determined her condition was too poor for her to travel back to India for treatment. Instead she is undergoing chemotherapy at St. Luke's.
"A fundraiser wouldn't have been possible in India," said Arun Agarwal, a grad

uate student from Bombay, India, and organizer of a fundraiser to help pay for Vaidye's medical expenses. "I don't think there would have been enough avenues."
Agarwal, along with other members of the KU Cultural India Club, have raised more than $40,000 from student groups at other universities and institutions around the country. But the group needs almost $160,000 more to reach its goal of the estimated $200,000 for Valdya's treatment.
"We are looking at a huge amount of money," Agarwal said. "We're trying to get in touch with people and let them
know the gravity of the situation."
Vaidya's chief oncologist at St. Luke's, Sunil Abhyankar, said her treatment was moving along well and her white blood cell count was beginning to rise. Chemotherapy treatment is designed to kill leukemia cells, but the treatment also damages blood cells, which fortify the immune system and help protect against infection. Vaidya is most susceptible to infection during the two- to three-week recovery period that has followed her seven-day treatment.

Thanksgiving break burglaries concern Regents Court residents

Kansan staff writer
A Thanksgiving-weekend burglary at a Lawrence apartment complex affected 23 KU students and caused some to be concerned about their safety.
Items ranging from computers and a flat screen television to tampons and macaroni and cheese were stolen from nine of the 15 apartments in an apartment building at Regents Court apartments, 1903 Massachusetts St. The burglar entered most of the apartments through a window.
A groundskeeper observed two men taking a computer from an apartment to a car around 9 a.m. Friday morning, said Lawrence police Lt. David Cobb. The groundskeeper told police that the men didn't appear to be nervous and "walked like they owned the place."
Erin Clay, Prairie Village junior, said her stolen items were worth thousands of dollars. Her flat screen television, a birthday present from her parents, was
stolen.
She said yesterday that she would meet with her two roommates about what to do.
"I don't really want to live here anymore," Clay said. "I went away for three days and all my stuff was taken."
Aimee Shrimplin, Hiawatha junior, said she wasn't ready to pack her bags vet.
"We're concerned about our safety, but I don't think we'll move;" she said.

Hospital starts book drive for terminally ill children
The Center for Community Outreach has started a book drive for children staying at Lawrence Memorial Hospital who are diagnosed with terminal or long-term illnesses.
Claire Zeigler, coordinator for the book drive, said the center wanted to collect 150 or more books by Friday and give them to children at the pediatric unit of the hospital before most of them would leave to stay with their families during the holiday season. She said excess books would be donated to other community and children's groups during the holiday season.
Zeigler said the center especially needed younger children's books but would accept any book that a child up to 15-years-old could read.
The center's office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union will accept donations of children's books or $10 donations to purchase books. For more information, call 864-4073.

Reports of hit-and-runs rise in Kansas by 7,500 last year
WICHITA — It was bad enough that a woman crashed her car into the side of Lester Clear's new Saturn.
"She walked up to my window," he said. "And then she took off."
Her departure made Clear part of a growing number of Kansans who have
become victims of hit-and-run drivers.
Last year, nearly 7,500 drivers involved in serious wrecks in Kansas left the accident scene without making a police report. The Wichita Eagle reported yesterday. Between 1990 and 2001, hit-and-run accidents in Kansas increased by 81 percent. The total number of accidents rose just 25 per cent during that time.
Nearly 1 in 10 accidents reported to the Kansas Department of Transportation last year were classified as hit and runs.
Law enforcement officials said they weren't surprised that the numbers were rising. They attribute the trend to tougher penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol, driving without insurance and driving with a suspended license.
"If you get caught driving with a suspended license here, you go to jail," said Wichita police officer David Wertz, who investigates hit-and-run accidents.
Attacks erase equipment of special interest in Iraq
WORLD
BAGHDAD, Iraq — It was combed over by inspectors, then blasted for days by U.S. air attack. But four years later the Karama ballistic design plant is still a focus of world concern, a place where new U.N. inspectors yesterday conducted their longest search yet, looking for signs of outlawed Iraqi missiles.
After six hours in the well-guarded Baghdad compound, they departed, and the plant's deputy director said all went well.
The inspectors, as usual, had no immediate comment for waiting journalists. But a U.N. report later yesterday said some equipment of interest at Karama was missing. The Iraqis said some of the missing equipment had been destroyed in U.S. air attacks and some had been transferred.
"They didn't find anything," Brig. Mohammed Salah said.
It was the fifth day of renewed arms inspections.

Speaker: Mad cow disease likely
By Lindsey Hodel
lhodel@kansan.com
kansas staff writer
Lindsey Golay
Mad cow disease has reached epidemic proportions in Western Europe and is likely to appear in the United States as well, said Michael Greger, a general practitioner specializing in vegetarian nutrition.
"Eating meat in this country is kind of like having unsafe sex," said Dr. Michael Greger, who spoke yesterday in Alderson Auditorium. "You are not only eating that cow, but you are eating every cow that cow ate." A member of the Boston Vegetarian Society, Greger asked the audience "where is the outrage?" handblock to mandatory testing of beef. too," she said
Greger delivered an enthusiastic and humorous speech yesterday to 14 people about the disease at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Mad cow disease is contracted by eating contaminated meat. The disease spread quickly in Europe because livestock was fed the remains of other animals. Because this practice is also common in the United States, Greger said the disease's potential in this country was just as alarming.
"Eating meat in this country is kind of like having unsafe sex," Greger said. "You are not only eating that cow, but you are eating every cow that cow ate."
Mad cow disease could already be present in livestock and humans in the United States because symptoms of the disease may not appear for decades. Greger said. He also pointed out how testing of livestock for the disease is not mandatory in the United States like it is in other countries.

Student Senate is sponsoring a forum to discuss plans for a new Multicultural Resource Center.
"We want to ask people, what do you think its function is, what can we do to make it better, what would you like to see," Casey Collier, Nunemaker senator, said.
Senate is expecting about 30 students to attend, said Jonathan Ng, student body president. Getting the ball rolling on a new building has been one of Senate's primary goals, he said.
“It's more than just a structure,” Ng said. “You don't just need a building for the kind of community and service the MRC provides but a new structure will serve as proof of the University's commitment to diversity.”
The center has been working to promote cultural sensitivity since 1995. In the seven years it has existed, the center has outgrown its space, tucked behind the Military Science building. In addition, the center isn't wheelchair accessible and has a history of
"It's more than just a structure."

Despite this, the number of students using the building for meetings, computer access and as a place to study has steadily increased. During Fall 1999, staff members recorded 153 students coming through the building. By Fall 2001, that number more than quadrupled, jumping to 672. In total, nearly 1,500 students visited the center during the 2001- 2002 school year, not counting those who came for class.

Professor delivers message of positive alternatives for safe sex
By Michelle Burhenn burhenn@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Dennis Dailey said he wanted to give KU students a safe sex message they might not have heard in high school.
Dailey, professor of social welfare, spoke to about 400 students about sex and personal safety at the Kansas Union Ballroom last night to kick off Campus Safety Week.
Dailey told students that opinions generally fell into two categories when people talked about safe sex. The most popular perspective of safe sex is abstinence, he said. And that is often the perspective most families are comfortable with.
"Many of you came from families that, if you even mentioned sex, people would, like, die," Dailey said.
But waiting until marriage shouldn't be the only thing people consider as safe sex, Dailey said.
"Many of you came from families that, if you even mentioned sex, people would, like die."
Dennis Dailey Professor, School of Social Welfare
"When most people talk about
safe sex, they are really saying "Stay out of each other's pants," he said. "I'm not saying there's something wrong with choosing abstinence. But to say that it is the only avenue to safe sex is ridiculous."
Dailey said that the audience included people with a variety of sexual backgrounds: rape victims, sex offenders, women who had terminated their pregnancies and women who hadn't.
Charlie Worth, Kankakee.
"When I went to school, they had a very religious outlook on sex." Worth said. "Tonight, I felt like I was respected."
Ill., freshman, said Dailey's frank sex talk was different from his Catholic-school background.
Dailey said he was not advising people to just go out and get laid. He just wants those who elect to have a sexual experience to have a safe, earth-shattering experience.
"Sex isn't negative. Sex is positive," Dailey said. "But there are some negative possibilities out there."
He said safe sex should enhance sexual pleasure. Thoughts of sexually transmitted diseases and parenthood most likely detract from the pleasure, he said.
"I think it would be distracting enough so that no woman would have an orgasm," he said.

PERSPECTIVES
Borja picks the proud, the few, the overrated things of 2002
As another year winds down and we all grow a little dumber and a little older, there will no doubt be a lot of year-ending lists that detail the highlights and lowlights of 2002.
I tried to think of a few poignant or less than-great moments, but I couldn't come up with any significant points. I did come up with a list of the most overrated happenings of 2002.
So, in no particular order, here is the list. Drum roll please.
COMMENTARY
People complained about how all the boy bands looked and sounded the same. You could also say the same about these "groundbreaking" bands who all have shaggy hair, wear vintage clothing and sound like the Buzzcocks with the volume turned all the way up.
1. Psuedo-garage-power punk bands such as The Strokes, The Hives, Phantom Planet, The White Stipes, The Vines, etc.
Eric Borja
opinion@kansan.com
We will also include Avril Lavigne here because girl punk music sucks, too.
Yes, masturbating is normal, going down on a woman is good, and having sex in public places is fun.
2. Sex columnists
We are older than 18, and sex isn't shocking or taboo anymore.
They are everywhere now. Please tell us something that *Playboy* or pornos did not teach us five years ago.
3. Cover charges at bars that don't feature live music
It cracks me up when a doorman asks me to pay $5 to get into his establishment to listen to Nelly, Jay-Z, P. Diddy and Eminem on repeat for three hours and have some meat head make me a crappy Long Island iced tea.
4. Fall break
Thanks for those two days in the middle of October.
The options are endless on what we can do with four days, especially when the break is during midterms and teachers assign work due before and after break.
I would rather have a full week during Thanksgiving or get out earlier for winter break.
5. South Wind 12 Theatres
Lawrence is home to the worst movie theater in the world.
The seats have no leg room, and I think the stadium seating was taken a little too seriously when the entrance to the theater was built in the middle of all the seating.
6. Helene from The Bachelor
My boy Aaron representing all the beau-hunks of Springfield, Mo., letdown all men across the nation when he picked the boring Helene instead of the stunning and sophisticated Brooke.
Plus, all guys know you go for the younger woman.
7. Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
Wow, a whole paragraph of notes just appeared on the screen in different fonts and with cool gun blast sound effects. That still won't prevent me from falling asleep in class.
8. American Idol
Kelly, Justin, Paula ... where are you now?
9. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
I feel like I am in the relationship as well because I see every one of their sexual encounters when I check out at the grocery store.
10. The negative effects of Jackass:The Movie and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
That we have to warn people not to stick toy cars up their rectums or to rape and kill hookers in Miami means our society can't get any dumber. And who said being dumb was bad anyway?
Borja is a Springfield, Mo. senior in journal-sim.
Don't forget where you came from, whether big or small
I don't like country music. I haven't for quite some time.I tend to think the country songs I have heard are heevs.
But over the last couple weeks I have become familiar with a song by Montgomery Gentry called "My Town". Yes, the song does have some cheesy lines, but it also conjures up emotions in me.
cheesy.
With the Thanksgiving break just two days behind us, I couldn't help but address something that I feel is important for all of us to remember — where we come from.
The song is about the singers' home towns, "where I was born, where I was raised, where I spent all my yesterday."
know I come from a small town in Kansas that hugs the Colorado and Oklahoma borders. It is out in the boonies, a place of cornfields and cows.
Small towns have a unique atmosphere quite different from larger towns. If you break your arm, in a small town, everyone in town will know about it in five minutes. But despite the different environments, there is really no difference between my hometown and that of anyone else. No matter what or where your hometown is it is a part of you.

GUEST COMMENTARY
---
The song by Montgomery Gentry refers to the characteristics of a small town.
Mandy German
opinion@kansan.com
I am sure many of you were, like me, a high school senior eager to get away from home. My hometown consists of about
one square mile, and though most students are from much larger towns, I am sure the prospect of coming to KU was exciting for all prospective students regardless of the size of their hometown.
Not everyone experienced the same shock I did on the first day of classes. When I walked into my first class and realized there were more people there than were in my entire high school, I was a little scared. But I bet nearly everyone was scared on their first day, too.
One of the reasons I chose to come to the University of Kansas over Kansas State University was that I knew I would have a better chance to make friends from places like Chicago or St. Louis.
Growing up in western Kansas has shaped me into who I am.
I have met many people who grew up in bigger cities, and understanding their backgrounds has made me a more well-rounded person. But when it comes down to it, I am still just a girl from the boonies.
So, as I spent this past week in "My town", the place "where I was raised,
where I spent all my yesterdays", I was happy to be from a place where people know who I am, where I go to school and care about where I end up.
And I am happy that people in my hometown think strategic communications is a good major for me because they know me well enough to know my strengths.
You may not be from a small town like I am; you may be like one of my friends from a large city. But whether you are from Johnson, Kansas or Chicago, the town you grew up in is part of who you are and it will always be your town.

HIV vaccine question one of several projects
SAN DIEGO
Shilpa Buch double checks her assistant's observance of a stage of the virus. A staff of 16 researchers are working on a vaccine for the HIV virus to be presented to the FDA this spring.
A lab assistant measures out bacteria to be grown inside an auger petri dish. Scientists at the KU Medical Center studied various forms of the HIV virus in the lab.
Freezers inside the lab house dormant samples of SHIV-KU, a combined version of the human and simian immunodeficiency viruses. SHIV-KU was developed specifically for the Med Center's vaccine prototype. The virus grows into full-blown AIDS in two weeks.
Although creating a deadlier virus might scare some, Narayan said the hybrid would not be as harmful in humans. Even so, the team is taking extreme precautions to prevent outbreak, he said.
Toward the back of the grid of black counter tops in the lab at the Med Center in Kansas City, Mo., sits the door to the "beast" itself. Almost hidden, the door has a sign warning of the biohazard that awaits inside.
The lab, designated at the highest level of caution, is designed to prevent fluke infections. Every machine is shielded by a clear plastic cover to ensure that nothing pathogenic spills out in case the machinery breaks down.
Several of the work stations are enclosed. Under one hood, a researcher maneuvers his arms through a small space under a plastic shield, illuminated by a fluorescent light at the top of the enclosed box. The workstation uses a weak vacuum to suck away stray particles of the virus.
Even with so many precautions, Buch said common sense was the most important tool for a researcher to avoid infection.
"People have used hands to push down the toxic waste in the trash can before," she said, pointing to an orange waste basket filled with used syringes. "They have been poked."
But none of the researchers has been infected, she said. Therace to approval
Instead of following precedent and testing the monkeys with pure SIV, Narayan and his team developed the deadlier hybrid to maximize the number oftimes the vaccine can be tested for effectiveness in each monkey. In the procedure, team members vaccinate six monkeys and allow their immune systems to build a defense for six months before testing the vaccine's strength against SHIV-KU.
They challenge the vaccine with SHIV-KU again at the one-year, one-and-a-half-year, two-year and three-year marks.
The repeated testing gives the Med Center group a competitive edge, Narayan said. The country's two other DNA vaccine labs
give monkeys vaccines and settle with results after challenging them with SIV two weeks later.
To emphasize the importance of repeated testing, Narayan said that a previous vaccine his team had developed began to weaken after three years, meaning researchers would have to reinject the vaccine to prevent the death of the monkeys.
Although SHIV-KU and HIV are similar and share many of the same genes, they're not the same. For that reason, any successes in the primate testing stages must be verified with a true HIV vaccine through human clinical trials.
This is the team's second attempt at advancing a vaccine to human clinical trials. Last year, Narayan approached the Food and Drug Administration with a live vaccine prototype that he said had performed well in the lab and prevented infection in monkeys. But the organization didn't approve the prototype because it appeared to pose too many risks. All HIV vaccines now being tested in humans have come from man-made materials that cannot cause HIV infection.
"Even though the FDA would not accept it for its use, we still know it works," Narayan said.
The rejection caused the team to focus on its current DNA prototype. Since the vaccine uses only the virus's DNA, it hasn't performed as well as its live counterpart, Narayan said. Even though he isn't as happy with this form, he said he expected FDA approval.
According to an FDA Website, the organization's policy prohibits commenting about clinical trials for diseases that are in the review process.
Prevention, not a cure
A potential HIV inoculation from the Med Center team wouldn't provide a cure for the disease. It would protect only the uninfected. Narayan said nothing so far could hold back the virus entirely.
"In a week, HIV has blown you away," he said.
A drug cocktail designed to curb HIV replication can only knock the "virus burden," or virus
count, to a low level, he said
"People become relaxed because they think they've got a cure," he said. "But as soon as they stop taking the drugs it comes rolling back."
For that reason, he has focused on prevention rather than a cure.
Narayan began looking at a family of lenti viruses — a group of slow-acting viruses to which HIV belongs — during his post-doctoral work at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md.
Narayan's studies began before AIDS broke into the limelight. While expressing concern for those suffering from the disease, he said he pursued an HIV vaccine to satiate a hunger for a challenge.
"If it has human spin-off — great," he said. "I'm not an angel. I do it for myself."
Narayan doesn't perform much hands-on work. Instead, he coordinates the team's w-rk.
Although Narayan expects a promotion to human clinical trials for the DNA vaccine, he said the team worked against strong odds that the project would flop.
"The virus outwits me about every time," he said.
For that reason, the team is trying several approaches at once to increase the chances of finding a successful one.
"We've got a lot of irons in the fire. It's like a pipeline with the input here and the output here," he said, gesturing along an imaginary pipeline running before him. "You can't wait. You have to keep feeding the pipeline."
If one of the team's experiments fails, the team cannot afford to have nothing else in progress as backup, he said.
Pinning down a permanent variation of HIV has been nearly impossible, Buch said. The virus mutates slightly and frequently, so creating a vaccine will not protect against all strains of the virus. The key is finding the most prevalent strain and pursuing it fully, she said.
"You cannot say you've had full victory," she said, "but partial victory.

Human testing coming stage for HIV vaccine
By Lindsay Hanson

lhanson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Although Bill Narayan and his HIV vaccine lab team are prepped to break into the elite level of human testing, getting FDA approval is years in the future.
Before the Food and Drug Administration will approve an HIV vaccine for distribution, candidates must prove themselves in three phases of clinical tests.
Phase I, which could last two years, finds volunteers to test for safety and to look for side effects.
Researchers can't legally give people HIV to test the vaccine, said Narayan, chairman of microbiology, molecular genetics and immunology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The team would recruit no more than 20 volunteers at risk for HIV, he said.
Among those in what he called high-risk communities — promiscuous people, homosexuals and intravenous drug users—Narayan said he would recruit homosexuals the most heavily because he thought he could depend on them to follow through with the tests.
If volunteers' bodies tolerate the vaccine, it will move to Phase II trials. Researchers add to the volunteer pool and concentrate heavily on the body's immune response over a period of two years.
The most promising prototypes break into Phase III trials, although none has reached this phase yet. In these efficacy, or effectiveness, trials, researchers cast thousands of volunteers at the highest risk of HIV exposure.
Because Phase III trials require a wide network of statisticians and infectious disease representatives. Narayan said the team would not have the funds to conduct them without support from an outside company. This most crucial and trying phase can last four years.
According to NIAID's Website, efficacy trials will succeed if they recruit volunteers who are already at high risk for the disease and who follow through with the study.

Honors students to party
By Molly Gise mgise@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Honors students can get together at a holiday party tonight.
The "Jingle Mingle," which starts at 7:30 p.m. in Nunemaker, is the kick-off for its sponsor, the Honors Council.
The party tonight will feature food and holiday music, said Meredith Hauck. Wichita freshman and Honors Council president of public affairs. Students also get information about joining the Honors Council, she said.
"This is getting our ball rolling and letting people get to know each other," Hauck said.
The Honors Council is a group of students formed to increase
student input into the honors program, said Patrick Bengtson, the organization's president of governmental affairs.
"It's a great platform for students who are academically motivated to discuss ideas about strengthening the curriculum and a variety of topics," said Bengtson, Lawrence freshman.
The group aims to increase student interaction in and out of the classroom, he said. Members of the group will share information about academic-related topics, like research and graduate school, and will have social gatherings as a way to relax and meet other honors students.
Mark Nesbitt-Daly, assistant director for the honors program, said previous attempts to form a
group like the Honors Council had failed.
The Honors Council has sustained itself this year because of interest from freshmen who aren't as involved as upperclassmen, he said.
"Honors students tend to be over-committed," Nesbitt-Daly said. "We hope to get some of them before they got tied up with other things."
At the party, the Honors Council will share decoration plans for the student lounge of Nunemaker Hall. A Topeka-based interior decorator is working for free with the council to revamp the lounge.
The party is from 7:30 p.m. to
9:30 p.m. There is no cost.
Leukemia CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
- Edited by Melissa Shuman
Treatment at St. Luke's has become an advantage of Valdya staying in the United States.
"She's better off being treated here," said Abyankar. "She would be more susceptible to infection back in India where they wouldn't have as good of facilities."
The task after Vaidya's recovery will be finding a suitable bone marrow donor for a transplant. Abyankar said Vaidya's leukemia type, known as acute myeloid, makes it difficult to find a donor. Vaidya's brother back in India is being tested to determine if he could serve as a donor — he has about a 25 percent chance to be a match. But if that doesn't work, Abyankar said a donor would have to be found through an unrelated donor registry, which will further decrease Vaidya's chances of finding a match.
Contributions for Vaidya's treatment can be sent to:
Meghe Trust Fund
U.S. Bank
1807 W. 23rd St.
Lawrence, KS 66046
Go to www.ku.edu/~kuindia/ to find updates on Vaidya's condition and details of the fundraiser's progress. Or, reach Arun Agarwal at 844-4391 or arun@ku.edu
Currently, Vaidya's friends are doing the best they can to raise enough money for her treatment;
Vaidya's roommates, Rakhee Keswani and Aparajitha Rachapudi, both graduate students, said Vaidya was easy going. The three met in August in Hyderabad before traveling to Kansas and decided to room together. They enjoy studying at home and going out on the weekends. Keswani said Vaidya hoped to return to school eventually.

Burglaries CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6A
The manager of the apartment complex and Mastercraft Management would not comment on the thefts.
Anderson's roommate, Minal Patni, said she did not think management was doing enough to make her feel safe after the burglaries. The burglaries smashed their deadbolt to enter their apartment.
"We asked them to put another lock on the door so we'd feel more secure," said Patni, Wichita junior. "They just put a little plate and another deadbolt on the hole. We tried to take it off ourselves and it worked. It's worthless."

COMMENTARY

Yes, coach your'Hawks are overrated
I wish I had been in New York last week.
I would have liked a first-hand glance at the absolute debacle of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team.
Kansas lost its first game to an inexperienced team, the University of North Carolina, 67-56.
Fifty-six?
This is the first glaring problem with the game—besides the fact that the Jayhawks lost to a team they should have run out of Madison Square Garden.
Kansas averaged 90-plus points during its first two games of the regular season. Suddenly, with a trip to New York and some solid competition, the Jayhawks folded.
During the game against the Tar Heels, the Jayhawk bench managed to score just four points. In order for this team to be successful, the bench must contribute and four points will not get the job done.
Aside from poor bench contribution, North Carolina's starters whipped Kansas' starting five all over the court. The Jayhawks got back-cut and dunked on during several possessions, showing its defense's weaknesses. This was not the team Kansas fans have grown accustomed to watching over the past couple years.
After losing to North Carolina, Kansas played No. 7 University of Florida. The game was an opportunity for Kansas to redeem itself and prove its No. 2 ranking was not overrated. However, the Jayhawks disappointed their fans again with an 83-73 loss to the Gators.
Kansas mustered just 26 points in the first half and tried to fight back all game, but to no avail. The bench produced eight points from Jeff Graves and Moulaye Niang. This shows that some players off the bench do have a pulse,but they still have not added much-needed scoring support.
Did Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich forget they were preseason All-Americans?
The two seniors finished with decent numbers, but their leadership was missing. Collison and Hinrich have to provide the go-to guy mentality for Kansas. Hinrich struggled with back pain, but Collison was out of syne for both games. He finished with 19 points in the first game and 16 in the second, but did not play with the presence of an All-American.
Coach Roy Williams said after the game that he was not happy with how Hinrich and Collison played.
"I jumped them a bit because at half time our two seniors, our potential All-Americans, had only four points between them." Williams said. "We can't have that in big games. Big-time players have to play."
About the only bright spot for Kansas was Keith Langford, who scored 17 points against Florida. Kansas is now 2-2 on the season for the first time since 1987-88.
"We do have some things to fix," Williams said.
That is an understatement. Kansas has a tough schedule with games against Oregon, Tulsa, UCLA and Arizona in the next two months and early Big 12 Conference games mixed into the schedule.
The fact is Kansas is overrated.
Williams has said all along that he thought the No. 2 ranking was too high for Kansas and this proved to be true last week.
Now is the time for Kansas to prove its worth as a national powerhouse. While it's early December, the team must step up and starting playing like it is March.

Soccer ends season
Men's club soccer team loses to Weber State in national tournament
By Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The KU men's club soccer team competed in the national championship tournament last weekend in Bakersfield, Calif., and played well until dropping its last match to eventual champion Weber State University.
Already seeded in a competitive pool, KU faced a "do-or-die" situation against Weber State in order to advance to the tournament round, but lost 2-1. The defeat ended KU's run toward the championship and gave the team a final record of 14-3-5.
"This was my final trip as a senior and it couldn't have been better," midfielder Ben Stone said. "We faced some of our toughest competition all year."
Weber State struck first after a scoreless first half but was countered by a successful penalty shot by leading KU scorer Oumar Seck. In the late stages of the second half, however, Weber State exploited the KU defense, which
The team's chances of advancing to the bracket round were hindered by two consecutive ties in earlier pool matches. This forced a must-win situation against a tough and experienced Weber State team.
played one man down after an ejection, and ended KU's hopes of continuing in the next round.
KU's first game against the University of Michigan ended in a 1-1 tie after Seck assisted on a Drew Darmon goal in the second half, shortly after Michigan took a 1-0 lead.
"We talked about keeping our heads up if we were scored on first," Darmon said. "We responded the way a team should respond."
Unfortunately, the next game saw the tables turn on KU as the University of Virginia tied the game 1-1 with a goal with just two seconds remaining. The late goal came after Johnny Kedzuf scored on a rebound from the Virginia goalkeeper to put KU up 1-0.
"We started playing defensively towards the end of the second half in order to protect the lead," coach Matt McCune said. "I had a feeling this might happen. You just don't think it will happen with two seconds left on the clock."
Weber State went on to win the
national championship after beating Brigham Young University in the final match. 2-0.
Despite not advancing further into the tournament, the players saw many positives from their experience. Backup goalkeeper Mike Kutz was forced to play in place of regular Chris Hartley, who was out with an injury, and played admirably, according to forward Scott Reynolds.
Other players of note included midfielders Darmon, Jason Shaad and Andy Nussbaum, along with the presence of Cedric Sunray, according to Reynolds.
Next year looks to be a good one for KU as it returns 16 of 22 players including three first team all-conference players in forward Aaron Law, defensive Sean Murray and Oumar Seck.
This year's seniors ended their season with a loss, but they left the field with positive feelings.
"KU soccer has been a major part of my life during my college years," Reynolds said. "This is the best performance and best experience we have ever had with this team. To step out on the field and represent this University of nearly 30,000 people is an amazing feeling."

AYHAWKS IN THE PROS
NBA
Drew Gooden - Memphis Grizzlies
With 17 games under their belts, the Grizzlies are still seeing hard times on the court. With a 2-15 record, bright spots have been hard to find other than rookie sensation Drew Gooden. Gooden had a 23-point effort Wednesday and his second double-double on Friday in a 112-106 loss to the Lakers with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Gooden still leads all rookies in scoring with 14.8 points per game.
0
Paul Pierce - Boston Celtics
Pierce has been hot of late, having scored at least 30 points in four of his last five games. Pierce wrapped up the week with 30 points on Sunday in a big win over New Orleans.
Contributed photo
Jacque Vaughn - Orlando Magic
Former Jayhawk Drew Gooden leads all NBA rookies in scoring with 14.8 points per game. Gooden's team, the Memphis Grizzlies, is off to a dismal 2-15 start despite Gooden's success.
The Magic are back on track with three straight wins and a 10-7 record, but Vaughn's playing time continues to fluctuate. In Wednesday's 112-102 win over the Lakers, he only played one minute. However on Saturday in a win over Atlanta, Vaughn recorded eight points in 20 minutes.
DID NOT PLAY
Returning from a sprained ankle, LaFrentz is being eased back into the lineup. On Saturday night in a win over Chicago, he saw 15 minutes of action, recording five points in the effort.
Ostertag is having a tough time earning more minutes with the improved play of Jarron Collins and John Amaechi. In three games last week, Ostertag posted decent numbers, totaling 16 points and 19 rebounds.
Raef LaFrentz - Dallas Mavericks
Greg Ostertag - Utah Jazz
Scot Pollard - Sacramento Kings (lower back fracture)
NFL
Kwamie Lassiter - Arizona Cardinals The Cardinals have hit the skids since
the end of September, and Sunday's 49-0 loss to the Chiefs extended their losing streak to six games. Lassiter was Arizona's biggest bright spot on defense, leading the team with seven tackles.
Gerald McBurrows - Atlanta Falcons
McBurrows is seeing fewer plays on the field every week for Atlanta. In Sunday's 30-24 overtime thriller over the Vikings, McBurrows only had one tackle on the stat sheet.
Despite starting earlier this year, Davis is now fourth on the Rams' linebacker depth chart. In a 10-3 slugfest with Philadelphia, Davis only had one tackle.
Don Davis - St. Louis Rams

A READER'S REQUEST
Jason Thoren - Kansas Linebacker, 1994-97
Thoren had a successful gridiron career at KU as a four-time letterman. Thoren played in the Jayhawks' 51-30 win over UCLA in the 1995 Aloha Bowl as a sophomore, and was also named third team allBig 12 as a junior in 1996. He got a shot as a pro with the Kansas City Chiefs in training camp before the 2000 season, and was allocated to the NFL Europe in the summer to play for the Berlin Thunder. He never made the Chiefs roster, and has since moved on from aspirations of a professional playing career. Thoren now aides former Kansas coach Glen Mason on his staff at the University of Minnesota.

After Kansas' two losses in the NIT, how do you think they will do the rest of the season?
Luke Wohlford Andover sophomore
"Hopefully they will turn it on now that they don't think they are the best team around. Now they know they are not invincible. Hopefully, they will practice harder and work harder and get better. I am hoping it was good for them. It happened so early
that maybe they can develop and get better by March when it matters."
Hayden Galler Overland Park sophomore
"The last time Kansas went 2-2 was 1988. We all know what happened after that. We will be fine."
"I think we will be all right. We will still be in the top 10 in rankings. I think
we need better bench play, especially Jeff Hawkins and Bryant Nash. Moulaye Niang needs to be more dominant in the post. However, we

still have the best starting five in the nation, but the bench needs to be stronger in case of foul trouble, like Langford had in New York."

KristiWood St. Joseph, Mo., freshman
"I think that this has been a learning experience, and they will continue to pull together and be stronger than before."
"I think losing two games already will be a big wake-up call for Kansas, and they will learn from their mistakes and be stronger in the end. They will still do great this season."
SILVER BLADE
Dave Trotter St. Louis junior
"After the two recent losses, they will regroup and everyone will get back on track and win the national championship."
Erin Friend
Wichita freshman

"I think they are going to be fine. They lost to UNC and Florida and it was just a preseason tournament. Now, they will start playing more home games and get the fan support they are used to and start winning."

Besides, this is a much better day to shop.

Tar Heels hop into polls
North Carolina's quick turnaround from the worst season in school history earned it a spot in the AP Top 25 Men's College Basketball Poll.
The Tar Heels were No. 12 in yesterday's poll, extending to 37 its record of consecutive seasons with a ranking. Not bad for a team that went 8-20 in 2001.02.

TAR HEELS
At 5-0, North Carolina already is just three victories away from matching last season's total.
"I prefer not to be ranked. I don't care about rank."
A week of upsets and games between ranked teams at tournaments led to shuffling in the Top 25. with two teams falling 12 places each Kansas from No. 2, and Michigan State from No.9—and four schools dropping out altogether.

鱼
No.1 Arizona (2-0) received all but one of the 72 first-place votes from the national media panel, holding on to the ranking it has held since the preseason poll.
The No. 14 Jayhawks (2-2) fell to Florida in the third-place game at Madison Square Garden in addition to their loss to the Tar Heels.
Texas (4-0) moved up one spot to second, its best ever. The Longhorns visit Tucson on Dec. 15, in a potential 1 versus 2 match.
The rest of the Top 10 was Oklahoma, Oregon, Florida, defending national champion Maryland; and Indiana, which had the week's biggest jump among ranked teams. The Hoosiers (4-0) — who moved from 19th to No. 10 after winning the Maul Invitational — play Maryland today in a rematch of last season's NCAA title game.
Alabama (4-0) climbed a place to No. 3, matching the Crimson Tide's highest ranking. Duke (3-0) jumped from sixth to fourth, while Pittsburgh (3-0) received the other No. 1 vote and held fifth.
Connecticut was 11th, followed by North Carolina, Marquette, Kansas, Missouri, Xavier, Stanford, Kentucky, Tulsa and Minnesota.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The family of a man who died in the traffic accident that also caused the death of Kansas City Chiefs star Derrick Thomas has reached a $1.275 million settlement with Thomas' insurance carriers.
The lawsuit filed in October 2000 was brought by the mother and five children of Michael Tellis. It alleged that Thomas' negligence caused the crash on Interstate 435 on Jan. 23, 2000.
The settlement was reached last week and approved yesterday in Jackson County Circuit Court.
The suit said Thomas was driving his SUV too fast for the icy conditions in an attempt to get to Kansas City International Airport for a flight to St. Louis. It

This is for the idiot who called and said that Bear Bryant is a living legend. Um, don't you have to be living to be a living legend?
图
Yeah, I'm sitting here watching the KU/North Carolina game, and I've come to the conclusion that Wayne Simien is the worst player since Todd Kappelman. Does anyone else think Brett Olson should be starting over Wayne Simien?
Yeah, I'm still really pissed off that we lost, and I think my level of hatred for North Carolina is almost to that of my level of hatred for Mizzou. And I just wanna say that I still think the basketball players kick a lot of outt, because I know people are going to call in and say "you basketball players suck." And I think you're cool anyway, despite what all of the idiots are gonna say. Peace.
图
Yeah, there's 20 seconds left in the North Carolina/Kansas game, and we just put our walk-ons in. I just wanna say go walk-ons, 'cause they're gonna bring us back and help us win this game. Woo-hool All I have to say is that is the worst I've seen KU play in the last two years. No heart, no intensity, no legs, it was horrible. And if they think they're just going to go out on the court and beat anybody, it's not going to happen. We need to come out and show some emotion, because if we don't, we're going to be just like K-State: sorry.
图
图
Let's see. Roy was placid, didn't get in the players' faces to fire them up, didn't change the defensive scheme until almost halfway through the second half. I think someone didn't mind losing to North Carolina.
I just wanted to say Matt Doherty, you have no class. Roy Williams does not allow the students to chant overrated, and yet overrated was being chanted in Madison Square Garden, and your freshmen were encouraging it. I think that's classless, being that Roy did not teach that. Get a life.
Don't worry, Kansas fans, it's normal. Start out high in the preseason polls, slack our way down, and then work it back up for March. I can't wait for March. It's OK, I know our basketball team can bounce back from this. We're not like Mizzou. Mizzou sucks.

KANSAS MEN'S BASKETBALL Hinrich to sit out Central Missouri State game
Kansas senior Kirk Hinrich will not play in Wednesday's game against Central Missouri State, coach Roy Williams announced yesterday. The senior guard will sit out to rest his strained back.
"To get three additional days of rest, Kirk will not play against Central Missouri State," Williams said. "We've done extensive tests on Kirk, and it is still diagnosed as a back strain. It is my feeling that with days off on Saturday and Sunday, by giving him three additional days off that will be a total of five, and that will be really good for him. I fully expect him to resume practice later in the week and then play against Oregon."
Hinrich averaged 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in the first four games of the season. He has played in all 108 games since coming to Kansas.
The Jayhawks (2-2) take on the Mules (4-0) at 7 p.m. Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Texas A&M fires Slocum after suffering 6-6 season
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas
Texas A&M fired R.C. Slocum yesterday, ending his 14-year tenure as football coach of the Aggies.
Despite a victory over then No.1 Oklahoma, the Aggies finished a disappointing 6-6 in the regular season, capped by a 50-20 loss to Texas last Friday.
Slocum's 123 career wins were the most in school history, and he never had a losing season. But A&M fans were disgruntled that the Aggies have become less competitive in the Big 12 South their 3-5 finish was their first losing record in league play since 1984.
"It was with great sadness and disappointment that I learned today that I was being fired as the head football coach at Texas A&M," Slocum said in a prepared statement.
Slocum is 123-47-2 overall at Texas A&M. But he was just 29-23 over the last four years and has lost three straight to Texas.
Slocum won four conference championships, including the Big 12 title in 1998. This 6-6 mark matched his worst with the Aggies. 4.8 Mist went 6-6 in 1996
-A & M last went 6-6 in 1996.
Slocum, 58, is in the fourth year of a seven-year deal he signed in 1999 worth $1 million annually.
While at A&M,Slocum helped clean up a program that had landed on probation twice since the late 1980s and won a Big 12 title in 1998.
Slocum's stay also was tinged with tragedy.
Four days before the final loss to Texas, Aggies freshman defensive lineman Brandon Fails died after collapsing in his dorm.
Preliminary autopsy reports showed Fails died from a blood clot that formed as a result of a leg injury and eventually traveled to his lungs.
And in 1999, before A&M's big game against rival Texas, the log stack for the university's traditional bonfire collapsed, killing 12 people and injuring 27.
The Trojans (10-2) moved up two spots to No. 4 in the latest BCS standings, released yesterday. Miami (11-0) and Ohio State (13-0) remained the top two teams, and Georgia (11-1) moved up one spot to No. 3.
USC to play in BCS bowl
A big win against Notre Dame has all but guaranteed Southern California a berth in a Bowl Championship Series game. And the loss left the Irish needing a little luck to make it that far.
Miami has 3.53 points, and a win against Virginia Tech (9-3) at home Saturday gives it a berth in the Fiesta Bowl to play Ohio State for the national championship on Jan. 3.
The Associated Press
Ohio State has 4.01 points and Georgia has 9.03 points. Oklahoma (10-2) dropped four spots to No.7 after losing 38-28 to Oklahoma State. If Miami

The final BCS standings will be released Sunday.
The Trojans beat Notre Dame 44-13 and moved up for several
reasons. USC also has the No. 1 strength of schedule in the country and received a 0.2 bonuspoint deduction for the win over Notre Dame.
USC looks like it will make a BCS bowl in any situation. The top three BCS teams automatically receive a BCS berth.
Duke women rank first in AP
The Associated Press
Duke had two new teams right behind it yesterday in the AP women's basketball Top 25.
Louisiana State University is already the third team to be ranked No. 2 in the young season—the highest it's been since 1978—while defending NCAA champion Connecticut also moved up a spot to third after beating Oklahoma in a rematch of last season's title game.
LSU (5-0) had 1,018 points and one first-place vote. The last time the Lady Tigers were second was March 8, 1978. They won three times in the past week, with their closest game a 14-point victory over Florida International
No. 1 Duke (5-0) received 42 of 44 first-place votes from a national media panel and had 1,098 points after winning three games in the Virgin Islands. The last was a 74-72 overtime victory over Arkansas, which jumped from 17th to 13th.
No. 21 Arizona and No. 23 South Carolina made the Top 25 for the first time this season, while Iowa State dropped out to end a run of 82 consecutive appearances in the poll.
Tennessee remained fourth, just four points behind Connecticut. Stanford moved up two spots to fifth.Purdue held at No.6,and Kansas State to No.7.
Connecticut (5-0) climbed two spots after winning three times in Hawaii, capping the trip with a 73-60 victory over Oklahoma. UConn had one first-state vote and 963 points.
Vanderbilt, Notre Dame and TexasTech completed the Top 10.
Kansas State was No. 2 for one week. Tennessee was second in the first two polls.
Penn State was 11th, followed by Minnesota, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana Tech, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Brigham Young University and Mississippi State.
Arizona, Boston College, South Carolina, George Washington and Cincinnati held the final five places.
Oklahoma (5-2) beat then No. 11 North Carolina before losing to UConn and jumped five spots to 18th.
Georgia had the biggest drop within the poll, going from eighth to 14th.

Zoo rock pays tribute to Hendrix
The Associated Press
But the city government has approved no high-profile memorial.
SEATTLE — Sixty years after his birth, one of the most important artists to emerge from Seattle is almost invisible there.
Seattle has no Jimi Hendrix Boulevard, no Hendrix Arena, no Hendrix Elementary School.
A few other markings around the city include a private company's small bronze statue on a sidewalk in the Capital Hill neighborhood and Garfield High School, which Hendrik attended, has a bust and mural of him.
The only thing the city has done to recognize the man many consider the world's greatest guitar player is to give him a rock in the African Savanna exhibit at the Woodland Park Zoo.
flame-shaped tiles of the walkway; "Purple Haze," for the purple-leaf Japanese shrubs in the area; and "Third Stone from the Sun," for the Hendrix rock, embedded with a bronze, sun-shaped plaque.
"Third Stone" is written from the perspective of a space traveler who lands on Earth and remarks about the strange life here. Visitors stand on the Hendrix rock to get a better view of giraffes grazing in the nearby grassland.
"It's successful from the standpoint that it's got a lot of symbolism in it, but it isn't in your face," said Jim Maxwell, who was the zoo's project leader for the memorial. "If you're not looking for it or if you're not interested in it, you're not going to really notice it."
Maxwell said he didn't see how the memorial could seem inappropriate.
"He was not African. He was an American. He grew up in Seattle," he said. "There's no connection to racism, so I don't have a political view of it."
But for many Hendrix fans, that's the point: If Hendrix wasn't
African, why stick his memorial in the African section of a zoo?
frendrix grew up poor in Seattle, and his favorite local bands — the Dynamics and the Statics, among others — were of mixed race. He became one of the first major black artists with a predominantly white fan base, and when the Jimi Hendrix Experience formed in London in late 1969, it was the first major rock band featuring a black frontman backed by whites.
Hendrix was never comfortable being a poster boy for political causes, said Jim Fricke, senior curator at the Experience Music Project museum, but "sometimes those subtle messages are the most important ones. The fact that people got used to seeing a black frontman with a white band may have had some effect on people's ideas about race."
Janie Hendrix, Hendrix's half sister, said of the memorial: "Well, you know. It's a marking for Jimi, and I don't want to say anything bad about it. Would we have done that? Probably not, but at the time that they did it, there was nothing in the city that recognized Jimi."

Why is it so hard for a 30-year-old to think about retirement? When you're young, retirement planning is pretty far down on your list of concerns. Say, somewhere between the melting polar ice caps and dishpan hands. And that's completely understandable. But by planning early and sticking to that plan, you can increase the money you'll have to enjoy retirement, and potentially decrease the years you'll spend working. We offer a range of different options, including tax-deferred retirement plans, SRAs, and IRAs, all with low-expenses. Now that's something to fall in love with.

Students prepare for finals
Uppers can let students down
By Nathan Dayani
ndayani@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Physical health plays an essential role in making students fit to take final examinations.
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Medical Center, said students should ensure that they are be in good health for finals.
"We see a lot of students who get sick during finals," she said. "They get sick because they're not sleeping, not eating well – that's not going to help you when you need to study for tests."
Strother said students should get seven to eight hours of sleep in order to
stay alert for finals. She said they should stop consuming stimulants, such as caffeine and energy drinks, at least five hours before they planned to go to sleep. Stimulants can compromise students' ability to achieve deep sleep, which plays a key role in making them alert and well-rested, she said.
Strother strongly discouraged the use of stronger medical stimulants, such as Ritalin or Adderal. She said non-prescribed use of those drugs could cause psychological and liver damage and hinder students' ability to concentrate.

More to studying than memorization
By Nathan Dayani ndayani@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students who want to perform well on their upcoming finals may want to consider a new study approach.
"You want to think about the material rather than just sit down and memorize it," he said.
David Holmes, professor of psychology, said students should study cognitively and analyze their study materials.
Establishing several mental links to study materials could help students with recalling information, Holmes said. Such an approach can be effective if students find ways to internalize their studies, he said.
"Don't study individual concepts," Holmes said. "But link them to personal experiences that would help facilitate recall."
One way to help internalize studies is studying with others and quizzing them on possible test questions, he said. This can facilitate discussion and an understanding of the course's themes.
However, Tracy Wilcutt, Olathe junior, said she generally didn't benefit from studying with others.
"I need to have something written in front of me."Wilcutt said. "I can't just discuss the things - I'm more of a visual learner."
Wilcutt said she also abstained from group studying because it often devolved into chit-chat. Instead, she preferred to study with note cards for tests that emphasized memorization and wrote outlines to answer potential essay questions.
Holmes said he encouraged long-term studying rather than last-minute cramming for exams. Brian Drake, a Jackson,

GHB leaves victims questioning fuzzy memories
Story by Michelle Burhenn Photographs by Courtney Kuhlen zv memories
Amy Brady always knew she should watch her drink.
She was spending one last night out with friends before she left for France in July 2002. The Kansas City bar wasn't crowded, she said, and she and friends were careful to make sure no one slipped anything into their drinks.
concerned waitress came to check on her.
After her third margarita, Brady went to the bathroom.
Paralyzed, Brady waited alone in the bathroom for 20 minutes before a
"All of a sudden the room started spinning. My muscles got really cramped, and my knees buckled," said Brady, a Topeka senior. "I was on the floor."
GHB is an elusive drug that disappears from the body within 12 hours. leaving no physical proof.Most victims are only left with blurry memories.
The waitress, the bar owner and Brady's friends crowded in the bathroom to help, but every time she tried to get up, she would throw up. They asked if she was drunk. She said no. Paramedics arrived. One asked if she'd been drugged.
Brady found out less than six hours later that she'd been drugged. She was slipped GHB, or gamma hydroxybutyric acid, a date-rape drug that has become more common in Kansas since the 1990s.
"I really wasn't a reliable source at that point," Brady remembered. "All I could tell was that I was sick and hurting and blacking out."
Bradytested positive for GHB.
But Brady's mom decided her daughter wasn't just drunk and drove her to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
She told them she hadn't been drugged, and the paramedics left. Brady's two friends drove her back to Lawrence and called her mother.
"I really don't remember much of anything about the hospital," she said. "It's one big gaping hole in my memory. I know I went because I have the positive test results to prove it."
Amy Brady Topeka senior
Hard to crack down
GHB can be found at clubs and bars throughout the state and the country, said Bill Roland, senior special agent with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation in Wichita.
The KBI made four GHB busts in the Wichita area since last year, Roland said.
Here in Douglas County, the district attorney's office is prosecuting its first case that involves a drug-facilitated sex offense. In August, Michael D. Carpenter. Olathe sophomore, was charged with drugging three KU students and attempting to rape one of them. He was also charged with drug possession.

The residents competed in formally against the house at 939 Indiana to see who could come up with the brightest and tackiest Christmas display. For more Christmas competition, see page 8A.

MRC's fading spaces
Meeting generates improvement ideas
ByKatie Nelson

Kansan staff writer
An ideal Multicultural Resource Center would be in the center of campus.
It would be a place for all students to hang out, study and interact. It would also have a lab with more than six computers,a library larger than a closet and a lecture hall big enough to be used for music performances, movie showings and largegroup meetings.
These ideas and more were laid out during a two-hour forum held by Student Senate last night beginning at 6. About 40 people who attended the meeting in the Multicultural Resource Center classroom came up with a list of features they would like to see in a new Multicultural Resource Center building, if it were built.
The ideas will Senate write a proposal for a new or renovated center.
"They came up with some really good ideas that will give us a place to establish where we should start," said James Owen, a Springfield, Mo., second-year law student and student senator. "We really established that they love the
MRC's programs and the people, but with this location and what they have to work with facility-wise, a lot of what people want to do isn't feasible."
Jonathan Ng, student body president, is overseeing the effort. He said he hoped the proposal would be written by the end of the semester. Building a new center to help encourage campus diversity has been one of Senate's main goals this year, he said.
"Diversity is a term that's batted around a lot, but when it comes down to it, it's more than numbers." Ng said. "It's bringing new ideas into classrooms. It breeds innovation. It's having a college environment that reflects that of the nation. But to create that, they need the space to do programs, better resources and the University to show that this is a priority."
Owen writes the Film Snob column for the Kansan.
The students who attended last night's meeting discussed the possibility of relocating the center to the Kansas Union, Wescoe or somewhere else along Jayhawk Boulevard. They expressed displeasure with the idea of only revamping the existing building, because the current location is off the main routes through campus. As a result, although the staff and programs are helpful resources, the

Congressman to speak with students tomorrow
U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., will meet with two groups of KU students tomorrow to discuss public speaking and Congress' efforts to remove land mines.
At 11 a.m., Moore will meet with students enrolled in Introduction to Rhetoric and Social Influence to discuss public speaking strategies Moore used during his campaign, said Robert Rowland, professor of communications studies and instructor of the course.
"It's a chance for a class that focuses on public persuasion to talk to someone who does it," he said.
Later in the day, Moore will join a panel discussion on land mine detection, sponsored by KU International Programs. The 1 p.m. discussion will take place at Anderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Public forum to address Kansas budget crisis
A forum in Topeka will address the state budget crisis tomorrow.
State Budget Director Duane Goossen will join lawmakers, journalists, a lobbyist and Allan Cigler, KU professor of political science, in "Kansas Under Pressure: Policy-Making and Politics in 2003 and Beyond" from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Kansas National Education Association building, 715 S.W. 10th Ave.
Burdett Loomis, KU professor of political science, will moderate the discussion.
The forum will give students insight into the budget process, said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations.
"The state budget cuts will certainly affect students," Cohen said. "How the state handles it will be interesting."
The forum is geared toward graduate students but is also open to the public.

Suspect shoots himself near Wichita school
WICHITA — A suspected bank robber shot and killed himself in his pickup truck near an elementary school about 10 minutes after classes had ended for the day, authorities said.
Most students had already left the grounds of Washington Accelerated Elementary School, but at least one saw the man stop the truck and shoot himself about 4:20 p.m. Monday, a school district spokeswoman said.
Police yesterday identified the man as Jeffrey L. Lenington, 42, of Choctaw, Okla. He was pronounced dead at a Wichita hospital.
Officers investigating the 4 p.m. armed holdup of a Bank of America branch had stopped him on the street because his truck matched the robber's vehicle, FBI Special Agent Randal Wolverton said.
After the shooting, school officials tried to contact parents so they could escort children who would walk near the truck on their way home.
Michelle Moore, who walked her daughter:home, questioned why police would stop a robbery suspect so close to a school.
"Thank God she wasn't outside when it happened," Moore said of her daughter, Jessica, 11.

Lawyer upholds decision in states' water dispute
DENVER — A lawyer appointed by the Supreme Court has backed Colorado's calculation for the amount of money owed Kansas in the states' longrunning battle over use of Arkansas River water.
1994.
On Monday, Special Master Arthur Littleworth agreed that Colorado owes Kansas $28.9 million for taking too much water from the river from 1950 to
The Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that Colorado violated the 1949 Arkansas River Compact by allowing farmers to pump too much water.
tion.
Kansas had sought $52.8 million in damages, claiming Colorado owed it interest on damages during that time. Colorado's calculation includes interest on damages incurred starting in 1985, when Kansas filed its lawsuit against Colorado.
Last year, the court ruled Kansas was entitled to money as well as water from Colorado. Since then, the two states have been arguing over how much.
The U.S. Supreme Court still must approve *Littleworth's* recommendation.

DJ's show features Asian music
John Nowak/Kansan
Hosting a radio show is a dream come true for sophomore Chungkam "Michael" Yeung, who handles the KJHK airwaves from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays with his show, "The Heart of Asia". Yeung said he hoped to become a DJ at a radio station in his native Hong Kong after graduation.
CHINA

cnothwehr@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
KJHK listeners who tune in Sunday mornings may think the station intercepted a radio signal from the Far East. What they are actually hearing is a taste of Asian pop culture emanating from the student radio station.
Chungkam "Michael" Yeung is the host of KJHK program The Heart of Asia from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sundays. During his two hour show, Yeung plays popular music from several different countries in Asia, translates some lyrics and gives background about the artists.
For KJHK, the show adds a distinct flavor to the station's alternative lineup. For Yeung, hosting the show is part of a life-long dream.
"When I was a 14 or 15, I used to listen to radio'a lot," Yeung said, "I thought being a DJ would be really cool."
Yeung dreams of becoming a disc jockey at a radio station in Hong Kong.
That dream hit a roadblock when he was not accepted at a radio station there before coming to KU in 2001.
"Radio stations in Hong Kong are really cool," Yeung said. "They are looking for really talented people."
In the meantime, the Hong Kong sophomore in journalism is brushing up on his on-air skills and giving KJHK listeners a dose of his native pop culture.
"I think somehow it creates diversity, and that's what KU emphasizes," he said.
The show also provides an opportunity for Asian international students to get an idea of popular music back home, Yeung said.
"It's nice if they can listen to Asian music other than there own collection of CDs," Yeung said.
Yeung, who chose his American name in second grade after Michael Jackson, said he is not picky in his music taste.
"As long as they are good musicians I like their music," he said.
Student administrators at KJHK say Yeung's program fits in with the station's alternative
style.
"It's probably one of the shows that we're proudest to have," said Richard Gintowt, KJHK music director and Palatine, Ill. senior. "KJHK presents music that doesn't have a forum elsewhere, and Michael plays music that isn't available anywhere in America."

Graduate wins scholarship
By Lindsay Model
hodel@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Mark Bradshaw, a University of Kansas May 2001 graduate, has won the Marshall scholarship, and Christina Warinner, Overland Park senior, is on a reserve list of finalists.
The Marshall scholarship, a prestigious award for graduates demonstrating academic and leadership excellence, provides more than $50,000 for two years of graduate study in Great Britain.
As an undergraduate, Bradshaw won the national Truman and Udall scholarship, which made him the first KU student to win all three awards. He attributed much of his success to the help he received during his two-year-long application process from KU's honor program.
"It is one of the best honor programs in the nation to help students compete for national awards,"he said.
Bradshaw said one of his biggest strengths in the competition was his ability to make connections between his studies and larger environmental problems facing the country.
"I thought a lot about how to take the things I learned in classes and put them into action," he said. "I applied my course work to everything else I was involved in."
In addition to being a student, Bradshaw also helped start GROW,a community gardening project that involves student volunteers. He said this experience served as a basis for his long-term goals of working on environmental issues with a non-profit organization or the government.
"I want to work on agriculture in urban settings," he said. "If we move food production closer to where people are eating it, people will have a closer connection with what they eat. Organic farming would be more of an option, because public support is needed."
Bradshaw plans to work on two master's degrees in geography and environmental programs at either the London School of Economics and Political Science or the University of Durham.
Warinner has an opportunity to receive the Marshall scholarship if any of the 40 selected cannot accept. She wants to become a teacher at a university, and is studying Mayan hieroglyphic writing in Germany this year.
Nine KU graduates have now won the Marshall scholarship. Karl Brooks is assistant professor of history and environmental studies who won the Marshall scholarship as an undergraduate. He said one of the main strengths of KU's environmental studies program is its interdisciplinary approach to environmental issues. He said KU graduates of the program often become environmental lawyers, activists, and scientists.

Group debates birth date of Jesus
By George Schulz
gschulz@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Christmas is a dominant feature of the holiday season as Christians across the country celebrate what they believe is the birthday of Jesus Christ, Dec. 25.
About 20 people gathered last night at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union to discuss the origins of Christmas. The event was sponsored by the Socii-
But not everyone believes Dec. 25 is a historically accurate date to attribute to the birth of Jesus.
ety of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (SOMA).
Paul Mirecki, chair of the religious studies department, presented a lecture on the topic. He described inconsistencies in the Bible that suggest Dec. 25 is not the actual birthday of Jesus. In Matthew and Luke's stories found in the Bible, said Mirecki, two locations are mentioned as Jesus' birthplace — Bethlehem and Nazareth. No date is mentioned for the birth of Jesus.
"You don't want to talk about the birth of Christ," he said. "You want to talk about the birth of
Jesus. Jesus is a human name."
Mirecki said "Christ" was a term used to describe Jesus after his life, and the date Dec. 25 was not found anywhere until A.D. 336, when the date was used to describe the birth of "Christ" among a list of Roman Christian martyrts.
"Historical knowledge is in the balance of probability," Mirecki said. "There is a high probability he existed, but all that exist in the New Testament are references to Christ and faith."

First off, I would like to let everyone know that hippies don't exist anymore. And if you were a hippie, you'd be dirt poor, and you wouldn't have enough money to decorate your bedroom in bed sheets and pretty colors. People think that if they like psychedelic colors, '60s/70s music and drugs, that they can call themselves hippies. In conclusion, I hope the Kansan never prints another picture of some girl arranging pretty flowers in a colorful room.

Anyway, anyone who thinks their parents don't know when they're drunk, you're living to yourself.
Your parents have been in college, too.

PERSPECTIVES
Don't plan your whole life by one college advising session
Life is full of surprises. Each day brings new challenges and new ways of seeing the world.
COMMENTARY
Something about today might change the way you see tomorrow, and it is impossible to see what might happen a week, a day, even one hour from now.
Because we cannot know what is going to happen in the future, we have to decide how we live each day.
Sara Zafar opinion@hansan.com
The problem is that there are too many factors that come into play for us to decide now where we will be even a few years down the line.
The majority of people who try to plan life out too soon find themselves unsatisfied with their life paths.
There is a solution to this puzzle, but in order to reach it, we have to face a few obstacles.
We succeed in these institutions in order to get a good job that pays lots of
We get into a good college to graduate in four years with a good GPA and move on to graduate or professional schools.
One of the first obstacles we have to overcome is our preconceived notions about the way life is supposed to be. Everyone has these ideas, and most of us, consciously or not, let them rule our choices and decisions.
We do well in high school and participate in numerous activities to get into a good college.
money because money makes us happy.
This notion works in the opposite direction as well, keeping people down because their ideas of success appear out of reach if they can't seem to keep up with their peers.
If we are always supposed to do well in whatever we do, failure can seem an impossible roadblock on the path to happiness.
This is only one of countless examples.
The problem is that there is no right way to be.
Everyone finds his or her own way of living, and it is all right not to fit perfectly according to an arbitrary mold of perfection.
Whoever said that we have to pick a major that effectively decides the rest of our lives when we have only been alive for 20 something years?
I know several people who continue their undergraduate education beyond the prescribed four years and are not unhappy.
Why must we constantly be inundated with ideals of money and prosperity going hand-in-hand with happiness?
Many well-educated people choose to go back to the simple pleasures in life, renouncing the big house, the five cars, the swimming pool in the back, all because they have realized that happiness is what we make of our situations not what our situations make of us.
No one knows what tomorrow carries with it.
It is foolish to try and base our actions on situations yet to come, because a single moment has the power to change our entire way of life.
We must remain open to the possibility that we aren't always right in what we set out to do, and as much as we remain open to ourselves,we must remain open to others.
Allowing other people to be wrong once in a while is necessary if we want to be happy.
The bottom line is that there is no bottom line.
What we think is correct now might not be the same later. We should prepare for the future, but not decide our life in a single advising session.
Once we realize that life can't be planned for, we really learn what living is.

Grads:strut your stuff down the hill now, not in May
ATTENTION DECEMBER GRADUATES: Wondering whether you should return in May to "walk down the hill"?
I have an idea: Walk now.
But for December grads, the University holds no official walk down any hill.
"Walking" is a KU commencement rite of passage enjoyed by thousands every May.
No saunter down any slope.
Granted, the purpose of the May pilgrimage is to reach the epic ceremony at Memorial Stadium, which in December would be decidedly void of cheering parents or even live grass.
No amble down any incline.
grads, most professional schools at KU hold no December ceremony.
Sarah Smarsh opinion@hansan.com
Though the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences hosts a fledgling ceremony at the Lied Center to honor fall
Thus, rather than forego The Ultimate KU Tradition, many December grads parade under the Campanile and down Lawrence's most beloved grassy knoll during the spring before or after their actual graduation.
But hear me out.
Still, "walking" may not ring true for those who either still have one semester to complete or have already been whoring themselves at job interviews for five months.

The event provides a sense of closure for many fall graduates whose college conclusions were lost, perhaps painfully, amidst the holiday season.
GUEST COMMENTARY
We worked as hard as those blasted May graduates, but our image paints us the bad kids, the slackers, the Johnnycome-lately heathens who could have graduated last spring if only they hadn't been smoking doobage when they
should have been studying physics.
Well, some of us simply were working our behinds off as double-majors or self-supporting students.
Furthermore, some December grads actually are finishing early.
But we are nonetheless the renegades, the rogues, the rebels who have spat in the face of the traditional four-year college template.
Treating spring graduates as the
Sure, December graduates, you might return in May to "walk," and to explain all day that "actually, I graduated last December."

But I invite you to go out like the nonconformist you are. Walk down the hill with me at 4:30 p.m., Dec. 15, after the Lied Center ceremony and reception.
Gain timely closure to your tradition-filled KU tenure.
Plus, you're thinking, it will be freaking cold.
You never went to Late Night with Roy Williams so why should you walk down the hill?
OK, maybe you aren't the KU traditionalist ('What in God's name is 'Rock Chalk Revue'? Is it part of this so-called 'Student Senate' I keep hearing about?").
But wasn't it cold when you drank beer on a Kentucky Street porch in February?
How about when you careened down Mount Oread on a scrap of cardboard after the Great Ice Storm of 2000?
And when you camped out for basketball tickets or waited for a bus to carry your lazy freshman self from Murphy to Naismith during fall finals?
See, you really have been party to time-honored KU acts of idiocy. How about one more?
Yes, it will be cold. Heck, it might even snow.

Sandler movies salutes Hanukkah
By Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Eight members of KU Hillel celebrated Hanukkah Monday night by going as a group to see the animated comedy, Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights.
The event was organized by Corey Rittmaster, Jewish Student Life coordinator for Hillel, the University of Kansas' campus Jewish organization.
"It's such a unique thing to have a Hanukkah movie, so I wanted to take advantage of that," Rittmaster said.
Eight Crazy Nights tells the
story of Davey Stone (voiced by Sandler), a 33-year-old drunken buffoon who hates the holidays. But with the help of kindly (and excessively hairy) youth-league basketball referee Whitey Duvall and his twin sister Eleanore (both voiced by Sandler), Davey learns to appreciate the holiday season.
Though only eight people showed up for the Hillel event, Rittmaster said he was not disappointed by the turnout.
"With it being the first day back from break, my expectations weren't that we were going to have a huge turnout," Rittmaster said. "I was disappointed more
with the movie than with the turnout."
The movie has gotten bad reviews from outlets such as Entertainment Weekly and cnn.com, but some students still enjoyed it.
"It was really cute," said Nicole Hirner. "It's about time they had a movie about Hanukkah."
Hirner, Athens, Ga., freshman, said she heard about the event through a friend and from the Hillet mailing list. She even took her roommate along to help celebrate.
"I just came with Nicole, but I'm a huge Adam Sandler fan and I thought the movie was pretty
good," said Hirner's roommate Chelsey Pryor, Pittsburgh freshman. "It was fun—it was a bonding experience for us."
Rittmaster said he had mixed feelings about the movie, but was glad to see Hanukkah get some recognition.
"I thought Hanukkah would play a bigger role in the movie," Rittmaster said.
"But it's cool that there's a movie that at least puts Hanukkah out there as just a regular part of society as opposed to this separate thing."

Deadline nears to obtain Senate funds
By George Schulz gschulz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
At the beginnii.g of the school year, Student Senate allocated $92,071 to student groups. An additional $90,160 was available for student groups to apply for. Of that money, less than $60,000 is left.

Student groups looking to receive funding from Student Senate can now obtain applications.
Kyle Johnson, finance committee chair and Wichita junior, said a little less than $600,000 was made available during the last two years for block allocation, and roughly the same amount
"It's the easiest way to get money from the Student Senate," said Ryan Evans, student body treasurer and Great Bend senior.
Evans said the campus fee students pay, which goes toward funding student groups, gave the student body control over such funds rather than it "being overseen by a bunch of administrators."
Evans said these groups had to show where they had spent their money for the last two years and had to have a person assigned to specifically handle the task of accounting. Student discounts for programming and events around campus and Lawrence provided by such groups are typically negotiated during the time they are applying for block allocation money.

would be available for another two-year period for groups that apply before the deadline.
Student groups and other entities applying for funding face only one major restriction — all students must be permitted to attend any event funded with Student Senate dollars.
Otherwise, applicants for funding need only be registered with the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center.
Applications for funding can be found in the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union.

GHB
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said Lawrence police found GHB inside his car. Carpenter is scheduled to appear in court for his preliminary hearing in January.
About half of the college-aged women who come to Douglas County Rape Victim-Survivor Service for assistance think they were drugged, said Sarah Jane Russell, executive director.
GHB FACTS
**description** — An oolioess, oolioess liquid ocea white powder that can be ingested with a drink, usually alcohol. Body builders sometimes use GHB because of its muscle-building effects.
Last year, the organization helped 130 women from Douglas County. But none of the women who went to a hospital tested positive for date-rape drugs. Most of the women were tested after the 12-hour window that provides the most accurate results, she said.
Source: U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
Street names — Liquid Ecstasy, Soapo, Easy Lay and Liquid X.
Effects — In lower doses, GHB causes amnesia; drowsiness, dizziness and nausea. In higher doses, the drug causes unconsciousness, seizures and respiratory problems. A coma could occur and overdoses usually require emergency treatment.
Agent Roland, who specializes in club drugs, said the drug was often used to reach a high level of intoxication without the side effects from alcohol.
Roland said one of his frequent sources told him that one case of the four Roland has worked this year in the Wichita area may have involved "scooping," or slipping GHB into someone's drink unknowingly. The tip was never confirmed, he said, but that doesn't mean it's not happening.
"I am confident that GHB had been used in several reported and unreported tapes throughout Kansas," he said.
Law enforcement officials say GHB is common in the club scene, but Barton County Sheriff Buck Causey says it's in small towns, too.
Causey said his office investigated about 15 cases of GHB use in the last five years in Barton County, a county in the center of Kansas with a population of about 29,000. Most of the drug use is at the local high school and community college, he said.
"It's a problem. Not just in Barton County," Causey said. "It's probably more of a problem than law enforcement realizes because
Causey said a juvenile was currently suspected of drugging and raping another juvenile in Barton County.
Rohypnoi
GHB and three similar forms of the drug called analogs are usually slipped into alcoholic drinks as a liquid, but powdered forms are available.
Description — An olive green, oblong tablet that can either be taken orally or crushed and snorted. The makers of the drug say the tablet now includes a dye that will be visible if it is slipped into a drink.
The drug is hard to detect, KBI special agent Roland said, because it leaves only a slight salty taste that is easily disguised in many alcoholic drinks.
of the nature of the drug.
Hard to detect
Rape-survivor advocates agree it is hard to frack GHB's use.
"We know it happens," said Tiffany Miller, sexual assault advocacy coordinator at the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence in Topeka. "We have no clue how often it's happening. That's one of the problems."
OTHER DATE-RAPEDRUGS
Street names — R-2, Mexican Valium; rophies, roofies and circles.
Effects — Amines, decreased blood pressure, drowsiness, dizziness and confusion.
Description — A clear liquid or a white powder that can be injected, consumed in drinks or added to smokable materials. Ketamine is a tranquilizer that is most commonly used on animals.
Ketamine
"It's not that I've stopped going out drinking, but I'll never let a waitress bring me a drink. Watch your drink being made from beginning to end. Don't let it out of your sight. Because you really just never know."
Street names — Special K, K, cat Valium, jet and super acid Effects — Amnesia, depression and long-term memory difficulties. Source: U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
Source: U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
Because GHB leaves the body after 12 hours, there is only a small window to perform a drug test. GHB, which is 10 times more potent than Valium, disappears faster than other date-rape drugs such as rohypnol and ketamine. Miller said.
GHB can cause dizziness, nausea, muscle weakness, feelings of extreme intoxication, blackouts and amnesia.
"Within 15 minutes, the drug causes symptoms," Miller said. "The victim is also awake and can carry on a conversation. For two or three hours, she would appear coherent and awake."

"It's already out of the blood and this person might not have even been sexually assaulted yet," Miller said. "Often the rapist acts as the rescuer and takes the seemingly drunk girl home."
What follows may be about eight hours of extremely heavy sleep, Miller said.
With no physical evidence of the drugging, a rape victim is left with only what she may remember.
When the woman wakes up, she may already be past the window for testing.
"Now you have a woman who wakes up." Miller said. "She may feel a little sick, a little hung over, or maybe not. She may be in her own bed or not. There's a lot of confusion."
"Reporting this type of rape is low." Miller said.
Others may not know the drug's symptoms or could be
Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center in Strong Hall, said she had counseled women who had thought they were drugged. Although they talk about going to the police, many women don't report the crime.
"They may think they weren't in victim, but that's not true." Rose-Mockry said. "A woman may choose to have a couple of drinks, but that doesn't entitle someone to rape her."
She said some blamed themselves.
afraid of reactions from family, friends and police, she said.
She said victims might also be afraid of the court process.
Hard to prosecute
Fear keeps many sex crime victims out of the courtroom, said Scott Toth, director of Johnson County District Attorney's sex crime unit.
"Police in our office have had strong suspicions about the use of GHB, but because of things like delayed reporting it wasn't charged," he said.
In 14 years as a sex crime prosecutor, Toth has never prosecuted a sex crime that involved a date rape drug.
A drug-facilitated rape case would present issues that would be difficult for a jury to believe. Toth said.
If the victim is unable to recount the events that led to the attack, it would make testimony less believable in court, he said.
Hard to prevent
Brady, the Topeka senior who was dragged last summer, said she didn't file a police report because she was leaving the country for her trip to France-within days.
She does talk about her experience at the bar with friends.
"I think people should know about it," she said. "This is a place where a lot of people go."
Brady said she could not have prevented the dragging.

GHB, a drug which can be slipped into drinks, is an elusive drug which is not detectable in the victim's body after 12 hours. The district attorney's office in Douglas County is prosecuting its first drug-facilitated sex offense, but many rape survivor advocates say it isn't the first time it has happened in Douglas County.

Alternative language choice
Swahili can teach culture with words
By Erin Beatty
ebattey@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Words like "safari" and "Kwanzaa" and the expression "hakuna matata" are all part of the American lexicon now, but a KU Kiswahili lecturer said most people probably didn't know the words 'African origins.
She said that because the language used the Roman alphabet.
Pamela S. Jackson
Jane Irungu, African and African-American studies lecturer, said she wanted students to know that Kiswahili, which is offered at the University, is not as difficult to learn as students might think.
it was an easy language to learn. Students are usually able to communicate and make presentations in the language during the first semester, she said.
hends Kikamba — also spoken in central Kenya — and speaks English.
Kiswahili, commonly called Swahili, is a language spoken by approximately 80 million people in East and Central Africa, according to the African Studies Resource Center. It's the official language in Tanzania and Kenya, and is widely used in several other African countries. After Arabic, Kiswahili is the most widely understood language in Africa.

Like the majority of Kiswahili speakers, Irungu is a native speaker of a different African language. Her first language is Kikuyu, which is spoken by the Kikuyu tribe in central Kenya. A Kenya native, Irungu compre-
Born and raised in Kenya, Jane Irungu came to the University five years ago to teach Kiswahili. She says that smaller classes allow more personal attention to the needs of individual students.
Irungu is the only Kiswahili teacher at the University. Now in her fifth year at the University, she teaches all levels of the language — elementary, intermediate and advanced.
She said students should study other languages to become "international."
"I think it's important to learn other languages because it's not just learning words, it's learning cultures," she said. "It's like experiencing the world."
Malakai Edison, an Olathe sophomore majoring in Spanish and film, said he decided to take Kiswahili classes to take some time off from Spanish.
"We've celebrated Kwanzaa in my house since I was young," Edison said. "I learned to count in Swahili when I was five or six. My mom thought it was important for me to learn."
Edison said he enjoyed Swahili poetry and art and he planned to continue learning the language at the University. He also said he
wanted to study abroad in Kenya someday.
"The most important thing I've learned this semester is that you can't take culture away from a language," Edison said.

Atlanta-based science firm makes move to Lawrence
By Kyle Ramsey
kramsey@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer.
Lawrence-area leaders gathered yesterday to announce that an Atlanta-based biological development firm would come to Lawrence, bringing with it about 40 jobs and a University of Kansas scholarship.
Along with $28 million in investment capital, the firm will pay an average salary of $47,000.
"We consider ourselves a prime benefactor of having a new life sciences company in the area," Provost David Shulenburger said.
In honor of Serologicals Corp.'s contribution to Lawrence's life sciences industry, a $2,000 annual
scholarship for a student in the life sciences will be established, Shulenburger said.
"The reason is to recognize the contributions this firm is going to make to this community." he said of the scholarship.
Shulenburger said he was unsure when the scholarship would be offered and whether it would be offered to undergraduate or graduate students.

Protests in Venezuela increase oil tensions
The Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela The national guard broke up an opposition protest with tear gas and rubber bullets yesterday during an escalating strike to oust President Hugo Chavez.
Chavez's leftist government calls the strike a coup attempt. It urged the millions of strikers to return to work and their leaders to return to negotiations on elections being sponsored by the Organization of American States.
Strike leaders said their action would last at least through Tuesday, but more
extensions were expected after the national guard chased away protesters and roughed up several journalists.The incident raised tensions in Venezuela, the world's fifthlargest oil producer and a top U.S. supplier.
Dozens of oil executives and their supporters, angered by the armed robbery of a top manager early yesterday, called a rally at the headquarters of Venezuela's state-owned oil monopoly Petroleos de Venezuela S.A.
Rafael Vargas, a top Chavez aide, said the government will not hesitate to crack down on protests.

Students one-up in gaudy holiday spirit
By Louise Stauffer
By Leslie Stalina
lstauffer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Clark Griswold, eat your heart out.
Two houses downtown, at 939 Indiana St. and 1238 Tennessee St., have holiday decorations that would put the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation dad to shame. Glaring lights, glowing Santas, and failing circuit breakers were spurred by a competition to see who has the best, brightest and tackiest house.
There is no definite winner to this contest, Brett Gillmore, Overland Park senior, said.
"We'll just look at each other and know," he said.
Gilmore is one of the 13 roommates at 939 Indiana St. He said he and some of the other roommates had known the residents of the competing house on Tennessee Street since high school.
"We kind of figured they would do something," he said.
Wessel said the competition between the two houses wasn't exactly organized.
But the competition is all in good fun, said Tanner Rapelye, Leawood senior, who lives at 939 Indiana St.
"We just try to one-up each other because we all like decorating," he said.
At the other house, around 8:30 on a cold Monday night, Adam Wessel, Baldwin senior, was still decorating with his three other roommates. They had begun at 4 that afternoon. Wessel shouted directions from the ground to the others, who struggled with where to place a wreath on the roof. A glowing plastic Santa Claus sat perched atop the house.
"We've had a lot of Griswold
esque things happen," Wessel said, recalling trouble with lighting up Santa. "The regular one didn't work, now there's a floodlight in there."
A couple of streets east, the residents of 939 Indiana St. had stopped working on their decorations for a while. A seven-foot-tall nylon Santa, tree, and snowman sat alongside the house, lit from inside and blown by a fan. Hundreds of colored lights almost pailed in their shadow.
Steve Adams, another roommate, sat with Gilmore and they described their decorations.
"We were going for a '60s Las Vegas theme," Gilmore said. "Tacky is a good thing."
Gilmore said he and the roommates spent about $500 on decorations. Because of the large number of lights, he said he was anticipating a high energy bill next month. As if on cue, the
lights went out during the interview.
"It's okay, circuit Just blew," Adams said.
For those at 939 Indiana St., it's a part of being young and free.
After hundreds of dollars and soaring energy bills, one might wonder the point of decorating in an all-out style for the holiday season.
we can be so outlandish now," Gilmore said "We don't have wives to answer to."
Gilmore said he was proud of the effort he and his roommates put forth to create a winter wonderland. He said they worked on the house for seven hours on Monday.
"If we put this much time towards school, just think of the possibilities," he said.

Studving

Mich., graduate student in his history, has helped teach history classes at the University since 1998.
He said he agreed that students should take a piecemeal approach to studying.
"You can't cram for history - it's like watching a movie on fast forward. You have too much information coming at you too fast." Drake said.
He said students preparing for analytical classes, such as English and history, should try to find major themes in their classes that would be emphasized on tests.
But he said students shouldn't stress out about their final examinations.
"Don't panic, it's only a grade in the end," he said. "If you don't get an A in the class, it's not going to kill you or stop you from graduating."

fancy just because you're studying for finals," he said.
Strother recommends exercise and a balanced diet while preparing for finals. Exercise helps increase circulation, which is conducive to alertness, and it also helps students get a full-night's sleep because they naturally feel tired by the end of the day, she said.
Consistent with Strother's rec
ommendation, Perry McCroskey Mission Hills junior, said she tried to avoid staying up late and cramming for an exam.
"I've had less success with pulling an all-nighter and drinking coffee," she said. "But if its crunch time and you have to study, you do what you have to do."

"I think that's unfair, though," Owen said, in the University administration's defense. "I think KU knows that, in order to be a top university, you have to lestera community that reflects diversity. The problem is, you've got no money to work with."
Some students also said they thought the center was hard to find and that the condition of the current building, now tucked down the hill from the Military Science Building which is south of Budig Hall, was a reflection of the University's attitude toward diversity
Some students also said they were glad to see Student Senate taking on building a new center with so much enthusiasm.
"I think it was really helpful because I didn't know the issue was out there and how seriously senate is taking it," said Benard Tran, Overland Park senior. "A new MRC is going to be for the students, so going straight to the students to find out what they need seems like the best way. Hopefully what we talked about will help them."

Time to rebound for Hawks

This is unfamiliar territory for the Kansas men's basketball program.
Bryant Nash, junior forward, gets fouled by a UNC Greensoro Spartan. The Jayhawks will play the Central Missouri State Mules tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.
Eric Braem/Kansan
A losing streak?
Tonight, the Jayhawks will try to break their two game losing streak when Central Missouri State comes to town.
For the first time in 15 years, Kansas (2-2) starts the season with an even .500 winning percentage after losses to North Carolina and Florida in the preseason NIT. Coach Roy Williams, who said he was embarrassed by how his team played last week, is keeping things in perspective, and most importantly, not panicking.
"It's not like we've fallen off the top of the bridge and it's not like we've forgotten how to play basketball," Williams said. "You go around the country and pick out some schedules and give us some of those schedules, we'd be 4-0 right now and everybody would be fat and happy."
The Mules (4-0) arrive with an unblemished record, although their wins against Monmouth, Westminster, Midwestern State and St. Mary's don't exactly compare to Kansas' losses against No.12 North Carolina and No.8 Florida. Still, Williams said after what his team experienced in New York, there's no way it would look past Central Missouri State and its talented coach Kim Anderson.
"Kim's coming in here with a good club." Williams said. "You know, they're 4-0 and won a tournament on the road, and I don't care what level or where you are, winning on the road is not easy."

Hinrich benched with back injury
By Jessica Tims
jimts@kansan.com
Kansan associate sports editor
It has been 108 games since Kansas basketball fans have seen a game that did not star Kirk Hinrich. Tonight will mark the first time since becoming a Jayhawk that the senior guard will sit idle on the Kansas bench.
Hinrich's absence from the court will give him time to rest his back after it was strained during the Preseason NIT in New York City last week.
"He can play Wednesday night, but I think it would be silly to try to play him," Williams said. "I told the team Sunday that he wasn't going to play. There wasn't going to be any of this we'll-check-with-him-in-warm-ups Wednesday night."
Despite the pain in his back, which first plagued him during Wednesday's game against North Carolina, Hinrich played in Kansas' last game Friday
against Florida.
Williams said his decision to play Hinrich depended on the player's performance in pregame warm-ups and his determination to play.
"That's probably a mistake on my part." he said. "There's no question that if I had to do it over again I wouldn't have done it."
"For us to play well, we're definitely a lot better with him. For our team, it's more important that he gets healthy. I don't know what the doctors are saying, but if there's a situation where he needs to rest then he needs to rest and get it done now," Collison said.
Hinrich has not participated in practice since returning from New York City, Williams said.
"He's getting a lot of treatment," he
Forward Nick Collison, who has played all 108 games with Hinrich, said although the absence of his fellow senior would impact the team, his health was the number one concern.
"We're definitely a lot better with him. For our team, it's more important that he gets healthy."
Nick Collison Kansas Forward
"I know he was doing a lot of things yesterday for his back during the course of practice. He came out on the court at the very end and was shooting free throws, that's all."
said. "I think he's either been in the swimming pool or going to the swimming pool.

Williams said it had not yet been decided if Hinrich would play in Saturday's game against Oregon in Portland. He said that decision will be made tomorrow or Friday.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
Kirk Hinrich, senior guard, will watch the Jayhawks play from the bench tonight in the men's basketball game against Central Missouri State because of back injuries. Tonight will be Hinrich's first time sitting out since he has played for Kansas. Hinrich has not been practicing with the team since it returned from New York City.
ORTE COMMUNICATIVA

No need for fans to go nuts
For all the Chicken Little basketball fans of this University, rest assured that the sky has not fallen — it's just sagging a bit over Allen Fieldhouse right now.
It's nothing a blowout victory tonight against Central Missouri State wouldn't start to set straight or wins against No. 7 Oregon this Saturday and No. 19 Tulsa on Dec. 11 wouldn't all but solve for fanatical Kansas basketball lovers.
Yes, the Jayhawks looked more confused last week against North Carolina than if bowling balls had bonked their noggins, let alone acorns like in that famous nursery rhyme.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said it was the most embarrassed he's ever been. Then his team followed its futile effort against the Tar Heels with 20 minutes of flat play against Florida before a second half surge fell short against the then seventh-ranked Gators.
And, what's it all mean?
Nothing!
OK, yeah, it was the first time in Williams' 15-year career that his Jayhawks have lost back-to-back games in November.
And sure, no Kansas team had lost by 10 points in consecutive contests since the 1982-83 season. Heck, at least half of this campus wasn't born when those two tragedies occurred under coach Ted Owens.
But when all is said — mostly in Internet chat rooms, newspapers, radio and television — and done, it's two losses in the first month of the season.
It's not the end of the world.
Worst case scenario: the Jayhawks suffer back-to-back losses every month of this season and still qualify for the tournament easily.
What Kansas fan wouldn't trade two November losses for five wins in March and a glorious victory in April.
If every game is a measuring stick, then Kansas failed last week — measurably.
But.
"College basketball, the good thing is you get to play," Williams said.
And Roy is right, playing seems to be the main solution to the Jayhawks' problems. They need time to find out who and what this year's team is all about.
This isn't last year's Final Four team, and maybe the Jayhawks were trying to emulate that squad too much.
"We haven't found ourselves as a team yet," said senior Nick Collison. "We kind of feel like if things aren't going well, we have to break it off and do something different. Last year we were so comfortable with what we had, we'd keep playing through it and eventually we'd win.
"That's something we just don't have

Men's soccer deserves recognition as a varsity team
When I first took the position as the clubs sportswriter for The University Daily Kansas, I approached the task with conflicting feelings. I have always felt there was almost a stigma attached to club sports.
Men's club soccer this semester should prove to everyone on campus that club sports can succeed at high levels of competition and talent. They are club, but that does not mean they are any less deserving of coverage and attention for their accomplishments.
It's a club sport, not a varsity sport. The common thought attached to such a title implies for some that it is a substandard level of athletics.
Last week, the team lost to eventual national club champion Weber State 2-1, sending KU home from the tournament in Bakersfield, Calif. Despite the loss, the team's players should be coming home with their heads high for the season they had and the admirable fashion in which they represented the University.
One of my first stories evolved from an irate phone call to the Kansan from Cedric Sunray, a first year graduate student on the team. Because its practice field at Shenk Complex was closed for renovations, the team tried practicing at the SuperTarget Field, where the women's varsity soccer team plays.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — For the third consecutive year, the No. 19 Missouri volleyball team earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers will travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to take on the Northwestern Wildcats Friday.
MU is coming off its finest record in history, finishing with a 25-7 overall record and a 14-6 mark in Big 12 play. The team finished third in the Big 12 behind No. 5 Nebraska and No. 22 Kansas State.
"We're definitely not a bubble team this year," senior Christi Myers said. "We're a solid team this year, and we really want to put up a strong performance to get past that first round."
Northwestern earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 1984 season. The Wildcats finished 17-15 overall and 10-10 in the Big Ten Conference. Friday night's winner will take on the winner of the evening's second match between fourth-seeded Northern Iowa and Wisconsin-Milwaukee at 6 p.m. Saturday.
"We're just going to go out there and play," junior Juliana Godoi said. "Northwestern is a pretty good

team; whatever teams made it to this point are pretty good teams."
The NCAA placed MU in the East region. In its past two NCAA Tournament appearances, the Tigers were knocked off in the first round, each by games of five. In 2000, MU fell to Utah State, and last year the Tigers lost to Illinois.
This season, coach Susan Kreklow said she looks forward to overcoming the barrier and seeing how far the team can go.
"I feel good about the way we're playing right now," Kreklow said. "We had a real strong performance last night against (Texas) Tech, and I think this team is hungry not to be defeated in the tournament, and to go in to the first round and win and see what happens after that."
Also on Sunday, Myers was selected to the all-Big 12 Conference First Team. Honorable Mention all-Big 12 selections were given to freshman setter Lindsey Hunter, redshirt freshman Shen Danru and junior Mary Lauren Smith.
Colorado ready for rematch

Colorado Daily via U-wire
University of Colorado

BOULDER, Colo. — After Oklahoma's 27-11 win over Colorado more than a month ago, the Buffs strongly voiced their desires for a rematch with the Sooners. Colorado's comments irked Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who believed Colorado had its chance, and blew it accordingly.
"Everybody gets their shot when it comes on Saturday," he said in November. "Everybody knows the date. Be ready to play. If you watch the PGA, they don't get a mulligan on the first tee, do they?"
Stoops' reaction may have been par for the course. But come this Saturday, when these two teams will meet again in the Big 12 title game, Colorado will get another shot at teeing off on Oklahoma.
In the Buffs earlier loss to the Sooners, the only execution Colorado perfected was shooting itself in the foot. Colorado committed five turnovers — two on first-half kick returns — that resulted in 24 Oklahoma points.
In spite of the numerous miscues, the Buffs kept Oklahoma in check for much of the game. Colorado
held the Sooners to just 305 total yards, their lowest offensive output in conference play. Colorado's defense also managed to contain Oklahoma quarterback Nate Hybl (10-23, 105 yards, 2 interceptions), while the Buffs' offense out-rushed and outpassed Oklahoma.
Unfortunately for Colorado, the numerous turnovers eclipsed anything the Buffs did right against the Sooners.
"Next time, we definitely want to limit the mistakes we made in Norman," said Colorado corner-back Donald Strickland. "We just need to go out there and play smart."
Oklahoma's win over Colorado snapped the Buffs five-game winning streak and pushed the Sooners' record to 8-0.
However, in the weeks following that contest both teams reversed direction.
Oklahoma dropped two of its next four and fell out of the national title hunt. Colorado won its remaining three games, and now has plenty of momentum heading into Saturday's showdown.
"We just try to keep rolling, keep trying to do our thing," said Lucier. "One more win and we're at our ultimate goal, which was to win the Big 12 Championship."

'Huskers athletic director accepts Texas A&M job
Whaley qualified for the open by winning the PGA Connecticut Sectional in September.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska athletic director Bill Byrne will leave the school to take the same position at Texas A&M, he said Tuesday night.
Among Byrne's first duties with the Aggies will be hiring a football coach to replace R.C. Slocum, who was fired Monday.
I just wanted to say to the person who was comparing Roy Williams to William Shatner, you should be expelled from this University.
Byrne was reportedly the only person interviewed for the job.
I just want to thank the Kansas women's volleyball team for having an outstanding season. You guys rock. You're my favorite team to watch, and the NCAA selection committee was insane for not picking you guys. Rock on.
He said he did not let Nebraska make a counteroffer.

I'm from Ray's boys, with an A. The Free for All has screwed up our name for the second time now. It doesn't really matter because whether you get our name right or not, the volleyball team will go on being just as awesome as before, kicking just as much ass. However, you need to realize that there are more sports on this campus than basketball. It's Ray's boys, as in Ray Bechard, the volleyball coach.

Guys, it's Ray's boys, with an A, not an O. It's volleyball.

'Spoon' promising for Oklahoma State
By Brad Blood
Daily O'Collegian via U-wire
Oklahoma State University
STILLWATER, Okla. - Sitting out for a moment, Janavor Weatherpoon was watching part of the Oklahoma State men's basketball team run through plays. Other players were relaxing, making small talk, but Weatherpoon sat pensively, taking in everything done right and wrong on the court. Then, coming in to run plays, Weatherpoon leaped to catch an alley-oop pass.
With his head well above the rim, the 6-foot-1-inch Weatherspoon slammed the ball to the chant of "Spoon" that came from the players. Originally from Camden, Del., Weatherspoon has been working through prep school and junior college ranks for the past four years to make it to an NCAA Division I program. The junior has been practicing
Though it is taking time to learn the Cowboy system, Weatherspoon intends to make his presence felt on the Cowboy program.
with Oklahoma State players and coaching staff for the past couple months.
"Coach is teaching me there is more to the game than scoring," Weatherspoon said. "And I have to get into a rhythm — knowing how to play good defense, rebound, score and play good team basketball. That's something I'm having a problem with right now is just putting it all together."
As others have said earlier in the season, Weatherspoon possesses tremendous upside and is one of the best athletes on the team. Oklahoma State assistant coach James Dickeysaid, "He can rebound, he's a very good driver (and) an elevator inside on the medium-range game. He gets boards nicely, gets to the free-
throw line. We've just got to get him working harder to take better care of the basketball."
After being recruited by many schools, including Iowa State, Wisconsin and Oregon, Weather-spoon took a chance coming to Oklahoma State. Taking that chance is now paying off.
"They know I'm used to taking chances and being faced with different challenges, and I think they're all proud of me," Weatherspoon said of his family. "About 10 people called me after the game on ESPN2 on Wednesday night and that was real exciting, having a lot of my high school friends call me, seeing me play."
One of Weatherspoon's showstopping abilities is his leaping. Having only played in one game at home in Gallagher-Iba Arena, Weatherspoon showed his leaping ability in rebounding, to the oohs and aahs of Oklahoma State fans.
Only four games into the season, fans may not have adopted all the new players on the Cowboy roster. When Weatherspoon checks into the game, however, students around the arena can be seen holding up large, wooden spoons while chanting "Spooner." Weatherspoon admits the recognition is welcomed.
"That's a good feeling, knowing that the crowd's behind you 100 percent," he said.
Having already played in the Great Alaska Shootout and having people chant his name only weeks into the season, Weatherpoon is living a dream.
And there are still four months left in the season. "It's definitely exciting. I've been working for about four years and it took me a long time to get to the D-I level, and like I said, to hear the crowd chant my name and to play on ESPN is definitely a dream come true."
Guards key to Iowa State's undefeated record
By Zac Reicks
iowa State Daily via U-wire
iowa State University
AMES, Iowa - For a point guard, one turnover a game is good. For Iowa State point guard Tim Barnes, one turnover so far this season is incredible.
Barnes had six assists against one turnover and added 13 points on 6-12 shooting in help led the Iowa State men's basketball team to an 85-63 win over Jackson State.
Shooting guard Jake Sullivan added 23 points, eight rebounds and three assists. The two Cyclone guards were instrumental in keeping Iowa State undefeated.
"Jake Sullivan was very impressive, and in spurs, so was Tim Barnes," ISU head coach Larry Eustachy said. "Sullivan had great intensity from start to finish and really defended well."
Only 43 seconds into the game. Barnes sent an errant lob pass over Jackson Vroman's head out of bounds, ending his season of turnover-free play.
But the slender 6-foot guard's play was solid the rest of the game, as timely passes and drives to the rim helped spark an otherwise stagnant offense.
"This has never really happened to me—it's a total shock," Barnes said about his run without a turnover. "I give a lot of credit to my teammates and coaches for
pushing me so hard in practice "
"Barnes is a good guard, and good guards don't turn the ball over for a series of games," Eustachy said. "He needs to play harder and put more of a premium on defending, but he is coming along well."
Sullivan was his usual steady self. Along with his all-around effort he sank three trifectas and helped contribute to a total team effort.
"We bring in seven guys that can score, and that helps me a lot," Sullivan said. "Our post guys are passing the ball well this year and that gets everyone into the flow."
With the first half winding down, Barnes drove the lane and
drew a double-team that left Sullivan wide open on the right wing. Sullivan hit the three to stretch Iowa State's lead to 45-27. The team was never threatened after that.
Sullivan said Barnes was doing a great job. "He is the main reason we are 3-0."
The play of Iowa State's two guards has helped the two to become better, as well as helping their teammates.
"Everyone can tell that when (Sullivan) or (Barnes) are penetrating, there is always an open guy." freshman forward Adam Haluska said. "We move the offense well and it's great to have those two guys in the backcourt."
Texas Tech ready to light up offense
By David Wiechmann University Daily via U-wire Texas Tech University
LUBBOCK, Texas — Two players for the Lady Raiders can be seen patrolling the perimeter every game, looking for an opportunity to strike. Those players are Natalie Ritchie and Miklannet Tennal. The pair is a threat behind the 3-point arch every time they touch the ball.
The Texas Tech guards said they know their role on the team and accept it for what it is.
"I think Mik and I know our role and what we need to do," Ritchie said. "We need to be a threat. It's one of the reasons we were recruited here, and it's our job."
Tech coach Marsha Sharp said everyone recognizes their role on the team, and it was obvious which role Ritchie and Tennal were going to assume.
Both have succeeded in doing their jobs. Ritchie dropped two 3-pointers early in Tech's last game against Valparaiso, and Tennal has drained threes from all over the court, including one at the halftime buzzer against Washington from 40 feet out.
"I think we have talked about defining roles on the team, and we always want to go to people's strengths," she said. "There's no question in their case that's the thing we're interested in them looking for and most interested in creating for them as a team."
The fans have noticed the 3 pointers the pair puts up and the silence of 12,000 fans
breaks when one drops.
"I imagine they want us to throw them up there every now and then," Tennal said. "It's exciting when you get to knock one down. I don't notice they get quiet every time — I don't notice much when I'm out there."
Sharp said it is apparent the fans enjoy seeing the tandem put shots in the air, and the reaction when nylon rips is unlike any other.
"They're ready to explode, and that's great," she said. "In basketball, men or women, one of the best plays is a 3-point shot. People really love that. I think it ignites the crowd, and obviously that's become a big part of our game."
Sharp said because Ritchie and Tennal can drain threes like second nature, the team tries to exploit them as an option to open the rest of the offense.
Ritchie said they serve as a double-edged sword for the opposition because the defense has to pick and choose its battles.
"We serve as kind of a decoy and distraction," she said. "If we are hitting threes, you have to respect us enough and come out. Even if we aren't hitting shots, we'll still get enough respect to create an opening for somebody else to get a shot."
Tennal said she did not understand why the crowd was yelling at her during the final seconds of Tech's last exhibition game. After the game she was told the fans wanted her to shoot again and break the century mark.

Porn thrives in economic slump
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES—In the vast, suburban expanse of the San Fernando Valley, one of the largest industries thrives quietly inside unmarked warehouses, walled estates and hidden studios.
The region is home to most of America's pornography industry videos, Web sites, phone sex businesses, adult toys and dirty magazines.
While many parts of the nation's economy have suffered, the past five years have been good for the adult industry, as new video and computer technology opened the doors to hundreds of millions of potential customers around the world.
"The adult industry doesn't follow the same ups and downs that other businesses do," said Paul Fishbein, publisher of the trade paper Adult Video News. "It still grows every year in terms of sales and rental volume."
The 354 square miles of tract
homes, strip centers and freeways on the north side of the Hollywood Hills is home to big names in the movie business — Disney, DreamWorks, Warner Brothers and Universal Studios — and less famous names: Vivid Entertainment, VCA and dozens of other studios churning out X-rated DVDs and videos.
"We've gone from a market of hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions," said Bill Asher, president of Vivid Entertainment.
It's difficult to come up with a dollar figure, said Michael Goodman, an entertainment industry analyst at the Yankee Group in Boston. "But it is a very profitable business and pretty recession-proof."
Sales and rentals of adult videos produced by American companies was a $4 billion business last year, Fishbein said, based on a survey of thousands of video stores and overall sales figures from the Video Software Dealers Association.
Like adult filmmakers and
actors, mainstream cable companies, satellite providers and hotel chains that offer in-room adult movies are cashing in. But they like to keep their involvement low-profile.
"We really can't characterize how popular adult programming is," said Robert Mercer, a spokesman for Direct TV, which offers adult channels and pay-per-view films.
Production of the valley's X-rated movies also is kept low-profile. Most are filmed in unmarked industrial buildings that border churches, schools and homes.
An actress who goes by the name of Dee talked about the business while waiting for her scene in "The Alley." a new video being produced at a Vivid warehouse.
The business means thousands of jobs for actors, editors, directors, camera operators and set dressers.
"For anyone looking for work, you have to be (in the valley)," she said.

No way, Koehn said. They were ready to get back at it.
MANHATIAN — After a dismal performance against Stanford on Sunday, it would have been easy for Laurie Koehn's confidence to be damaged. But Koehn isn't that type of player, Coach Deb Patterson said.
"I don't really know what jetlag is — sitting around on your backside all day. I don't know how you get tired doing that. That's what we did yesterday, so there is really no reason to be tired," she said.
"We were all really excited to come out and play and be in the game, whether at the beginning or the end."
The Wildcat sophomore point guard scored a team-high 23 points Monday night as K-State rolled over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 115-37.
KU

Unions
Koehn was coming off her worst offensive performance of the season, a five-point effort against the Cardinals.
Enough said, according to Patterson.
"It's kind of hard to compare offensively," Koehn said. "We just took what their defense gave us,
and they were giving us outside shots, and I think everyone stepped up and shot well."
"Just another demonstration of competitive maturity tonight," she said. "She stepped off the floor after Stanford, just seeing a lot of good shots not drop for her. Tonight, the first shot she saw, she put it up with great confidence — nothing but net."
However, Patterson thought differently.
Junior center Nicole Othde grabbed a defensive rebound and passed the ball to Koehn.
But Koehn would have to wait to get into the flow on K-State's third possession.
K-State's point guard took it from there,promply dribbling to the other end of the court and sinking a 3-point shot.
"Just another demonstration of competitive maturity tonight."
"That's what great players are all about," she said. "That's what the best in the game — the jordans and the guys like that — can have a bad night or a couple of bad nights and come back and drop down big plays. That's what Laurie Koehn's night was all about tonight."
Deb Patterson
Kansas State Coach
Koehn would have five more that night. She missed just three shots from behind the arc.
Koehn shot 7-for-10 from the field and 6-for-9 from three-point land. She put up 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. She also had four steals in just 25 minutes of play, partly because the bench gave Wildcat starters some much-needed rest.
It was K-State's third game in four days. So it was conceivable to think the Wildcats were a little fatigued, right?

Basketball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Jayhawk basketball team has begun 2-2. "We haven't found ourselves as a team yet," said senior forward Nick Collison after Kansas lost to Florida in the Pre-season NIT consolation game.
filling in for injured Kirk Hinrich, said he looks forward to the team finding its chemistry again. Lee said he was trying to keep his head squarely on his shoulders.
“It's kind of hard, but you just have to put things into perspective.” Lee said. “It would be foolish for me to try to do something I can't do. The best thing to do is, when you get out there, know what he wants from you and just play within yourself. Don't try to do too much.”
Kansas is still struggling to find its outside shot, as the Jayhawks sank only 5-of-25 attempts behind the arc in the two losses. Defensively, Kansas is working on the perimeter, hoping to limit another three-point clinic at the team's expense. Florida made 14-of-31 three-point attempts in the game Friday. Williams said these were just a few of the weaknesses of his team.
"Now we've gotten to a point where somebody did show us that we had some deficiencies, some soft spots," he said.

right now, like our identity and what we have as a team and what will be successful for us. We have to find that out."
Two key components — potential NBA rookie of the year Drew Gooden and the Big 12's all-time three-point shooter Jeff Boschee — are missing from a year ago, but blaming them for the early season blemishes is merely a convenient excuse.
- Edited by Matt Norton
Kansas, deficiencies and all has the weapons to at least compete with any team in the country.
The Jayhawks just didn't show that in New York.
Thus Williams' task has already begun.
He has to mold this team,to shape it.
Turn it into putty in his hands and make the Jayhawks fine-tune their talents — ball control, focus, defense, intensity and poise — which they showed incapable of showcasing against North Carolina and Florida.
"What I want us to do is do a better job in practice everyday, do a better job with the little things," said Williams. "I think that's where we probably slipped more so right now than anytime."
Slipping up now is not entirely meaningless, but close. The last time a Jayhawk team lost two in November was the 1987-1988 season.
That team went on to lose nine more games, but it won the one that counted — the NCAA Championship.
Losses show problems, and certain problems can often be fixed. Sometimes it just takes time.
And time is something the Jayhawks have plenty of. Patience, on the other hand, is a virtue that can be venomous for a community which has been spoiled by incredible success.
"If this has to happen, it's better to be early," Collison said. "It doesn't necessarily have to happen. It would be better if it didn't happen. But if this type of thing was needed for our team, it's better now than later."
Williams is patient. Now it's important that Jayhawk fans are too.
"I think a lot of times you try and look into things too much," Williams said.
Losses in November — fine, but if the acorn goes kerplunk in March because of a lackluster effort, then Kansas fanatics have the right to go nuts.

War and peace:
A history of protest
Students marched 40 years ago for change. Today's crowd marches to a different beat.
By Caleb Nothwehr
Kansan staff writer

Each Saturday since Sept. 7, about 100 Lawrence residents gather in front of the Douglas County Courthouse to protest military action against Iraq. Tie-dyed shirts and plaid hats sprinkle the crowd. The protesters smile, wave and flash an occasional peace sign at passing cars.
But these protesters are noticeably older. Waves of gray, thinning hair highlight the crowd. Some are middle-aged parents, whose children frolic behind the protest line.
This isn't the first time many of these activists have joined hands in support of peace.
"I think we were over there during the Vietnam War," said Allan Hanson, coordinator for the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, as he pointed across the street toward South Park.
Hanson said his organization's hope was to send the message that the
people are against an invasion of Iraq.
Less than a mile away from where the protesters stand, on the University of Kansas campus, a different type of political activism took place 30 years earlier. Hundreds of students would march down Jayhawk Boulevard, invade Strong Hall, and roll over cars in protest of the Vietnam War and racial injustice.
At its height, the racial tension and political turmoil in Lawrence during the late 1960s and early 1970s drove the city into a frenzy of urban guerrilla warfare. The dissension cost two young activists their lives, and led to the burning of the Kansas Union which remains an unsolved arson.
Lawrence residents and former KU students still engaged in political activism admit that protesting is different these days.
the Kansas Green party. "And there was higher participation from the students," he said as he stepped back from the protest line.
Anne Haehl, a protester who held the American flag during one recent Saturday protest, was a student at KU during the time of the turmoil.
"It was more spontaneous back then," said Rich Wenzel, co-chair for
"It does seem that, as far as the antiwar movement, it was pretty much led by the college students back then," she said. "Now, it's babies and old people."
To understand KU and Lawrence during the late 1960s and early 1970s, one needs to hear the story of the people whose lives changed during the time period: an African-American student whose brother was killed by a policeman; a KU professor who taught the first African-American history course at the University; and a peace-

Dialogue deals with prejudice within race

At first glance, Andrea Pantoja looks like a Chicana — because she is.
her brown hair,slightly dark skin tone and last name indicate her Mexican heritage. But ask her to speak Spanish, and the signs might not be as clear.
"I can't speak it as well because I, or my parents, didn't grow up with it," she said.
But it doesn't mean she is less of a Chicana, even though that's what she's been told, she said. The Mission sophomore worked for a Latin American education center last summer and helped lead a discussion about what it means to be a Chicano or Chicana. The children identified both of Pantoja's co-workers as being Chicanas, but not her.
"It was really hurtful," Pantoja said, recalling working with the middle-schoolers. "I was in there trying to support those kids, and they are sitting there telling me I'm not one of them. I was just sitting there trying to hold back tears."
Experiences such as Pantoja's aren't rare, said Juan Izaguerre, a Multicultural Resource Center graduate student assistant. Although internal racism probably isn't international, it's hurtful, he said.
Because of prejudice like Pantoja faced, he's helping coordinate the last Diversity Dialogue of the semester.

Marching band director resigns

Kansan staff writer
The KU marching band director, Tim Oliver, officially announced his resignation yesterday.
Oliver, who has directed the band since fall 2000, would not comment on his resignation last night. He will remain at the University through the spring semester.
Chloe Wong, Junction City freshman and band member, said Oliver had told the band he was resigning because he wanted
to spend more time with his family.
"He said that both the band and he would do better if he moved on and we received a new director," she said.
She said she was upset about his decision.
"Dr. Oliver is a very good director,"she said. "I've enjoyed my first year at KU under his direction."
Ashley Meagher, Golden, Colo., senior and band member, said she thought it probably had been a rough transition for Oliver to replace Robert Foster, who had directed the band for 30 years.
after someone's been there for so long," she said.
She said she hadn't expected Oliver to resign.
"I'm pretty surprised," said Megher. "I thought perhaps he'd give it another year."
Larry Mallett, chair of the department of music and dance, said Oliver's resignation was not spurred by conflict.
"Tim just chose to pursue other career opportunities," he said. "He's a hard worker and has been a strong leader for the Marching Jayhawks."

Caskets offer KU fans way to express zeal even in their death

Die-hard University of Kansas fans can now take their allegiance to the grave. Collegiate Memorials of Macon, Ga., a funeral-product distributor, finalized a licensing agreement with the University last spring. The first KU casket arrived yesterday at the Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home and Crematory, 601 Indiana St.
Paul Vander Tuig, director of trademark licensing for KU, said the company had approached him earlier this year and he
couldn't find a reason to turn the offer down.
The casket, made of 18-gauge, royal blue steel, has the KU letters sewn inside the velvet lining. The University receives the standard royalty payment of 8 percent of the wholesale price of every casket the company sells. Trish Burnette, the company's bookkeeper, said wholesale price on a KU casket would run between $1,590 and $2,390, which gives the school between $127 and $191 per sale.
Bart Yost, director of the Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, said he hadn't had any requests for KU caskets, but thought they would sell once they became known.
University logos are a logical progression in personal expression trends in the funeral-product industry, Yost said. Rumsey-Yost carries caskets with gardening, golf and other scenes.
Scott Walston, president of the Collegeiate Memorials, said a funeral home's markup could price the casket at more than $3,200. Retail prices of caskets with university logos usually run about $300 to $400 above the cost of caskets of comparative styles to compensate for licensing fees and shipping costs, he said.
Vander Tuig said the University had granted unofficial permission to individual requests in the past for using the logo on headstones free of charge.
The company, the largest of its kind, has been marketing caskets and crematory urns emblazoned with University logos since October 2000. Kansas is one of 52 schools in the country represented in the Collegiate Memorials database.

KU student wins national pageant

One of the first tasks Trinity Wright plans to do as Miss United States Teen is drop some of her next-semester classes at the University of Kansas.
Wright, 19-year-old Shawnee freshman, will have to do that because of her busy schedule of touring and speaking to represent her title. She was crowned in the national competition Nov. 18 in Charlotte, N.C.
"I'm really still trying to get over it," she said.
Wright said the girls had expected Sarah Medley of South Carolina to claim the crown because she had swept up all the optional contests — swimwear, fashion, evening gown and the on-stage interview.
Candidates from all 50 states, ages 15 to 19, competed.
Wright said winning the pageant could help her make connections to later pursue an acting career. She mentioned Halle Berry, a former pageant
Some of Wright's winnings include a crown of Australian crystal, a fox-fur coat, a $1,000 gift certificate to a Tennessee-based clothing store, paid travel expenses to philanthropy events and golden jewelry.

Capturing this new crown isn't the end of pageentry for Wright, who has been competing in pageants since her mother first enrolled her at age four. She said that, once her reign ended she would begin preparing for the Miss Kansas USA pageant. Wright also said she would be in New York City next year to watch the Miss New York United States Teen pageant.

War and peace:
A history of protest
Students marched 40 years ago for change. Today's crowd marches to a different beat.

Kansan staff writer

Each Saturday since Sept. 7, about 100 Lawrence residents gather in front of the Douglas County Courthouse to protest military action against Iraq. Tie-dyed shirts and plaid hats sprinkle the crowd. The protesters smile, wave and flash an occasional peace sign at passing cars.
But these protesters are noticeably older. Waves of gray, thinning hair highlight the crowd. Some are middleaged parents, whose children frolic behind the protest line.
This isn't the first time many of these activists have joined hands in support of peace.
"I think we were over there during the Vietnam War," said Allan Hanson, coordinator for the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, as he pointed across the street toward South Park.
Hanson said his organization's hope was to send the message that the
people are against an invasion of Iraq.
Less than a mile away from where the protesters stand, on the University of Kansas campus, a different type of political activism took place 30 years earlier. Hundreds of students would march down Jayhawk Boulevard, invade Strong Hall, and roll over cars in protest of the Vietnam War and racial injustice.
At its height, the racial tension and political turmoil in Lawrence during the late 1960s and early 1970s drove the city into a frenzy of urban guerrilla warfare. The dissension cost two young activists their lives, and led to the burning of the Kansas Union — which remains an unsolved arson.
Lawrence residents and former KU students still engaged in political activism admit that protesting is different these days.
the Kansas Green party. "And there was higher participation from the students," he said as he stepped back from the protest line.
Anne Haehl, a protester who held the American flag during one recent Saturday protest, was a student at KU during the time of the turmoil.
"It was more spontaneous back then," said Rich Wenzel, co-chair for
"It does seem that, as far as the antiwar movement, it was pretty much led by the college students back then," she said. "Now, it's babies and old people."
To understand KU and Lawrence during the late 1960s and early 1970s, one needs to hear the story of the people whose lives changed during the time period: an African-American student whose brother was killed by a policeman; a KU professor who taught the first African-American history course at the University; and a peace-

Dialogue deals with prejudice within race
By Katie Nelson knelson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
At first glance, Andrea Pantoja looks like a Chicana — because she is.
Her brown hair, slightly dark skin tone and last name indicate her Mexican heritage. But ask her to speak Spanish, and the signs might not be as clear.
"I can't speak it as well because I, or my parents, didn't grow up with it," she said.
But it doesn't mean she is less of a Chicana, even though that's what she's been told, she said. The Mission sophomore worked for a Latin American education center last summer and helped lead a discussion about what it means to be a Chicano or Chicana. The children identified both of Pantoja's co-workers as being Chicanas, but not her.

Graves says no more cuts, state revenues still sagging
TOPEKA—Gov. Bill Graves said yesterday he did not plan additional spending cuts, even as state revenues continued to sag in November.
"There are not any plans now," Graves said, noting that the $22.9 million revenue shortfall for last month was troubling.
Last week, Graves cut $78 million to help reduce the projected $310 million deficit in the $4.4 billion state budget on June 30. He also canceled $48 million in aid payments to local governments.
Social service officials outlined their plans yesterday to cut $26.6 million in state spending, which grew to more than $49 million with the loss in federal matching funds.
"These aren't good cuts," said Janet Schalansky, Social and Rehabilitation Services secretary.
Graves' latest reductions were on top of the $41 million he ordered in in August.
It's unfortunate bad news, but per haps it becomes a real wake-up call," Graves told reporters. "There is a possibility that this economic free-fall could continue.
"A situation that is unprecedented in state history is getting worse by the month."
State budget officials originally thought Thanksgiving might have skewed revenue collections, believing that the bulk of the sales tax receipts from the start of the holiday season would appear in the first few days of December. That didn't occur.

Bankruptcy may be in future for Boston Archdiocese
BOSTON — A financial panel of the Boston Archdiocese gave Cardinal Bernard Law permission yesterday to file for bankruptcy as the church tries to settle potentially crippling lawsuits in the priest sex abuse scandal.
Law would need approval from the Vatican before filing for bankruptcy.
No Roman Catholic archdiocese in the United States has ever taken such a
step, which would give a secular court control over its finances and open it up to unprecedented scrutiny.
The Boston Archdiocese has been at the center of the abuse scandal. It is negotiating with attorneys for some 400 alleged victims over possible settlements.
"We believe a mediated resolution would be preferable to seeking Chapter 11 protection and remain hopeful that this process currently under way will be successful," archdiocese spokeswoman Donna Morrissey said. "However, we feel it is also necessary to carefully consider the alternative or complementary approach of a Chapter 11 reorganization."
Mitchell Garabedian, an attorney for some of the alleged victims, said archdiocese leaders were bluffing in an attempt to gain leverage in the negotiations. Attorney Jeff Newman, whose firm represents more than 200 alleged victims, said the threat of bankruptcy could jeopardize the settlement talks.

iraq protests U.N. inspectors say search may cause war
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq protested sharply yesterday over U. N. weapons inspectors' surprise intrusion into one of Saddam Hussein's presidential palaces, accusing the arms experts of being spies and staging the palace search as a provocation that could lead to war.
The harshest criticism came from Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan, who charged in language reminiscent of clashes with inspectors in the 1990s—that the new teams of U.N. monitors were gathering intelligence for Washington and Israel.
Ramadan, known for his fiery statements, claimed to his all-Arab audience that the inspectors went to the palace hoping to provoke the Iraqis into refusing their entrance — something he said would be interpreted as a "material breach" of the U.N. resolution that mandated the inspections, and a cause for war.
The resolution includes "several land mines," Ramadan said, "and the aim is that one of them will go off."

Events promote land mine detection
By Justin Henning
jhenning@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Each year, 18,000 people are killed or maimed by land mines, according to the Canadian Land mine Foundation and the United Nations Association of the United States of America.
This fact led to the creation of an annual dinner called Night of a Thousand Dinners. Today, people all over the world will participate in the fundraising dinners to aid land mine detection and removal technology.
University of Kansas' Graduate School and Office of International Programs will host a dinner at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., from 6 to 9 tonight. A suggested minimum donation for the event is $15 per person or $25 for two people. Students may
attend for $10 individually or $15
for two students.
"We want to create awareness among the students, faculty and staff about countries with land mines," said Diana Carlin, dean of graduate students and international programs. "It will also allow us to focus on the research of two KU researchers."
Those researchers, Stiles and Dobson, have been working at the University on two separate tools to detect forgotten land
In addition, a public forum will take place at 12:30 p.m. today at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. It will feature presentations by KU researchers Jim Stiles, Jerry Dobson and Deborah Netland, a U.S. Department of State official in charge of the Office of Humanitarian De-Mining Programs in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
mines.
Stiles, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science, helped develop a radar system using electromagnetic waves to locate mines by penetrating the ground.
His system improves on older versions of a similar technique, which had a hard time distinguishing land mines from rocks. The new system uses electromagnetic waves, which are low-frequency light waves not visible to the human eye, to determine the size and measurements of buried objects.
The radar determines the difference between rocks and land mines by the symmetry of the object. Rocks have jagged edges, but land mines would have a geometric symmetry to them.
Sites said this was one of many projects being developed for land
mine detection
"It's like a demining golf bag," he said. "Ideally, we will create one device that uses all of these technologies simultaneously, that we can use all the time in any conditions."
Dobson, a research professor with the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing program at KU, helped to develop a database of groups of populations that were in particular danger of land mines.
Carlin said it was important for people to be aware of this international problem.
"This is the aftermath of any war," she said. "And lots of innocent people are being injured and killed by these daily."

New Web site offers University history
By Vonna Keomanyvong
vkeomanyvong@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Aftertwoyears of planningand research, the KU Memorial Unions finally launched kuhistory.com, a date-driven history of the University.
The site, launched Nov. 25, includes 123 articles about memorable moments in KU's history. It includes stories about a KU graduate who was not only the first student to be killed during World War I, but also the first American officer killed during the war. Other articles are about the underfunding of women's athletics, as well as segregation on campus and in Lawrence that occurred during the 1950s.
Henry Fortunato, Overland
Park graduate student and project director of the site, said the site allowed users to chart their own course through the school's history.
"The hardest thing about history is keeping it in sequence," he said. "With this site, you thread in your mind what you want to connect to. You decide what you want to learn about."
Each article contains a section called KU History InfoZone, where users can read related articles on the site, and KU Connections, which includes links outside the site.
"It's not just putting words on paper onto a screen," Fortunato said. "It's using the power of the medium to learn and explore. It connects the University to the widerworld."
Kathleen Neeley, assistant archivist of the University Archives, said she was pleased with the site's launch.
"Although we have more to offer than what's on there, they've made available a good bit of information about historic people and activities on the site," Neeley said.
Since last week, the site has received more than 3,000 individual visits. On average, visitors spent about nine minutes there
April Fleming, Los Alamos, N. M., junior, said she had visited the site twice since it went live. Fleming saw an advertisement about the site at the Kansas Union and said she found the Civil Rights pictures on the poster interesting.
"I like Lawrence's history." Fleming said. "I'm glad that it's
there, because it's easily assessable and it's useful."
Besides including historic pictures on the site, Fortunato said, he planned to include a section called "Archives Alive!" The section would include old University Daily Kansan articles and primary source documents such as letters, speeches and student essays. Fortunato estimated the section would go live in about three months.
The site was funded by Kansas Memorial Unions, Student Senate, KU Endowment and CocaCola.The total cost is estimated at $110,000,expended over portions of three fiscal years that paid for salaries of graduate students and Web designers who worked on the site.

Student groups who want to receive funds from Student Senate should ask soon, because the money is running out, Senate finance committee members say.
After last night's meeting, Senate had approximately $28,000 left in its unallocated account, which will have to cover the spring semester as well. The unallocated account is reserved for student groups who appeal for the money.
"The way things are going, we're going to run out before the end of the school year," said Ryan Evans, Senate treasurer and Great Bend senior.
Some senators said they were in a worse financial situation this year than past years.
"We overspent last year and we're going to overspend this year," said Eric Braun, finance committee member and St. Louis senior. "But at this point last year, we had a substantial amount more."
At one point in the meeting, an embittered finance committee member sarcastically suggested an amendment to spend all of the remaining funds.
"Let's go ahead and zero it out tonight," said Kyle Johnson, finance chair and Wichita junior.
Groups receiving top dollar were the Student Lecture Series and the Asian American Student Union. At the evening's end, about $25,000 was allocated between the two.
In other news:
After a semester of rejection in committees, a form of online voting legislation passed last night. The bill provides for campus-based online voting in the Spring 2003 Senate elections.
The system will go through a trial run in February 2003. Senate will review the results of the trial and decide whether to implement it for the spring election.
Kit Brauer, holdover senator and Denver junior, who had pushed for online voting all semester, said he was happy with the outcome.
"I feel like we accomplished something that empowers students," Brauer said.
The legislation also requires Senate to implement a full scale World Wide Web version of online voting — where KU students anywhere in the world can vote — for Spring 2004.
Senate allocated about $16,000 to the Student Lecture Series, who will use the money to invite and pay for author Maya Angelou to speak in the spring on the KU campus.
Student Union Activities officials said it was likely that Angelou would accept the invitation.
"The chances are good because her agent is keeping the dates open for us," said Fallon Farokhi, SUA president.
If Angelou doesn't accept the invitation, Farokhi said Gloria Steinem or Noam Chomsky were possible alternates.

Campus beautification starts with student litter
There's a squirrel on the path near Robinson Center that loves to stare at passing students while perched on the rim of a trash can. This squirrel either has no fear of flying trash, or, as the litter around the pathway might suggest, the squirrel seldom has to bother with trash being thrown at it.
On a campus as beautiful as ours, it is shameful that littering is as ever-present as it is. A walk to class reveals the extent of the problem. Last year alone, the University of Kansas spent $81,886 dealing with daily loads of trash, said Steve Green, associate director of finance for Facilities and Operations. It is ironic that at the same time that editorials push for compost heaps and recycling grows in popularity, campus litter still seems to multiply.
Where's the environmental advantage if recycling bins aren't filled? And how can anyone expect recycling and other programs to have any effect if the student body cannot master the simple concept of a trash can?
The problem is that only a small number of dedicated people have pushed for beatification and environmental programs on campus. To their credit, they've been largely successful. Everything from recycling centers to compost heaps have
been proposed. The difficulty arises because these programs were most likely implemented without the acknowledgment, let alone support, of the student body.
Littering is fundamentally different from many other issues in that it suffers from a lack of interest. Along with a lack of support, it also lacks any real opposition. Littering is an issue of convenience. No one wants campus to be unsightly; it is simply less convenient to find a trash can than to throw trash on the ground. Or why use a recycle bin when a trash can is right there? Why use a trash can when you can leave trash underneath your seat?
The only way progress can be made in cleaning up campus is to raise consciousness of environmental issues, especially littering, among the student body. The space of opportunity for concern about campus and the environment is a narrow one, so students should exert peer pressure to avoid apathy. Think twice next time you leave that trash under your seat or flick that cigarette butt on Wescoe Beach. But please, try not to hit the squirrels.

Take a look around and see a diverse KU student body
After writing this, I've thought about putting a disclaimer on the top — Yes, this is a column about diversity, but I'll try not to bore you out of your skull.
COMMENTARY
PENGELAND
I have often contemplated joining the ranks of those countless other University Daily Kansan writers who have expressed their concerns about diversity. Every time someone opens the Kansan lately someone seems to have an opinion about diversity. I never could really agree with these opinions.
It's almost always the same complaint: there isn't enough diversity on this campus, we need more diversity, but the University of Kansas could never, and will never equal diversity.
There needs to be a different opinion out there, maybe one not so pessimistic.
Meagan Kelleher
opinion@hansan.com
I started out at my computer, but being holed up in my room couldn't really give me the bigger picture of what KU is really about. It was not until I left my room and looked at people that I saw the diversity around me.
As I wrote this on Wescoe Beach, a fully-bearded guy in khakis with a set of headphones firmly strapped on sang aloud from whatever CD he was listening to. As he strutted around, doing his impromptu concert for one, there was a group of students studying on the steps.
I saw diversity everywhere on this campus. It may sound a little utopian, because if you came to this campus with a set picture in your head, it may be difficult to force yourself to see what diversity we have here.
There were people sleeping underneath trees, with art boxes and philosophy books. There were students reading Rolling Stone next to students reading The New York Times.
We have been taught that diversity means only a diverse group of races or sexes or ethnicities. I am not implying that racial diversity is unimportant, but I am saying that a racially diverse campus does not equal a diverse campus on the whole.
Countless articles and columns stress how important it is for more minorities to come to KU. There have been arguments that even the school's curriculum doesn't offer an appropriate amount of diverse classes or requirements.
Last Monday, in a story in the Kansan, ("Minority faculty goal unmet") Chancellor Robert Hemenway said that a "diverse university created a learning environment that would be beneficial to students because they would be prepared to work in a diverse world."
KU's effort to recruit more ethnic professors is well-intended,but if we think adding 200 minority professors will make us truly diverse,then we are misguided.
I would just like to point out all the diversity we are missing out on. Just like beer goggles impair people's view of the people around them, sometimes our opinion goggles block out what we don't want to see.
Ignore your initial reaction to the idea of diversity in a state university in the
This is one form of diversity, but not the only one that matters.
The way we present ourselves to the world is the way we want to be seen and everyone's ideas are different.
KU students wear everything from sandals in 40-degree weather to stocking hats in the middle of summer.
There are students who, for unknown reasons, listen to Christina Aguilera, and students who for equally unknown reasons listen to Jethro Tull.
There are students who are greek independent, liberal, conservative, and non-traditional. Embrace these qualities. We are diverse and this diversity shouldn't be ignored.
Take a look and see what we are.
Start to look at people as more than skin color and sex, or what country they came from. We are more than that, in fact, the essence of a human being doesn't revolve around what they physically are. Diversity should be defined as what we are as people, not what we are as physical organisms.
It is our minds, ideas, fashion sense, music tastes that make us truly diverse.
It may not seem like I am the best person to be spreading a message of refined diversity, being a white girl from the Midwest.
But I have eyes just like everyone else and if I can see what makes each and every person on this campus unique, then you can too.
Kelleher is an Omaha, Neb. sophomore in journalism.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Story overlooked Yoder's ethics during KU campaign
Even though the accompanying picture was very good, the Kansan's recent story on past student body presidents ("Past presidents become today's leaders." November 25, 2002) was, for a number of reasons, quite surprising.
First was Kevin Yoder's accusation that "the Delta Force coalition he was running against in 1998 provided similar [e.g. juvenile] challenges."
That Yoder said this is no shock; however, that the Kansan's copy editors let it slide is. Even a cursory look at the archives found at kansan.com or Watson Library would have revealed that Yoder's machine-backed campaign was rife with campaign and ethical violations (including actions which forced the resignation of the Kansan's opinion editor), yet the Delta Force coalition we ran against not only did not commit a violation but operated a campaign with maturity and apitomb.
Second was the article's focus on how past student body presidents eventually
become political leaders.
While it is true that a few past president have achieved some success in politics, an article on the lives of those courageous KU students who led coalitions against the machine would have wielded greater results.
Such a story could have featured, among many others, Bob Bennett, who became the governor of Kansas (something no former KU Student Body President has achieved), or James Logan, who recently retired after a distinguished career as a judge on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Associated Press chooses top Big 12 football players
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nailing jelly to a tree? Trout fishing by hand?
It's easy to imagine a bunch of wide receivers from the Big 12 sitting around the campfire trying to describe just how tough it was to play this season against Kansas State's Terence Newman.
With blinding speed, the Big 12's 60- and 100-meter sprint champion pretty much shut down Southern Cal's Kareem Kelly and Texas' Roy Williams.
Justin Gage, the Big 12's all-time receptions leader who towers over the 5-foot-11 cornerback, didn't have a single catch until the last play of the third quarter in the Tigers' 38-0 loss to the Wildcats.
He didn't have another until the Tigers finally got Newman to bite on a flea-flicker during the game, which wrapped up the Wildcats' 10-2 regular season.
There's probably not a receiver in the conference who would argue with the media panel that made Newman the overwhelming choice for Associated Press defensive player of the year.
"Somebody always talks about his speed and that's certainly a facet of it, though I tend to play that down a bit," said Kansas State coach Bill Snyder. "Terence couldn't do some of the things he does without the ability to run well. But what has really made him the quality, quality defensive secondary player he is has been
the development and understanding of how to play the position, the fundamentals of the position."
The same panel also made Texas Tech senior quarterback Kliff Kingsbury the runaway winner for Big 12 offensive player of the year.
The league's newcomers of the year were Missouri redshirt freshman quarterback Brad Smith and Oklahoma junior linebacker Lance Mitchell.
Newman had five interceptions and 14 passes broken up. He also scored three touchdowns on returns, ranking fourth nationally with a 16.3-yard average on his 22 punt returns.
His 32.4-yard average on 10 kickoff returns would rank first in the nation if he had the 1.2 returns per game needed to qualify.
Against Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 7, he had one of the most remarkable sequences of plays of the season.
First, making a rare appearance on offense, he easily outran his defender for a 51-yard touchdown catch. Then he took a punt and sped 40 yards for another touchdown.
A few minutes later, he intercepted a pass on the 17 yard line and headed for the end zone, about to pull off the rare feat of scoring on offense, defense and special teams in a span of a few minutes. But he dropped the ball.
Kingsbury was the nation's leading passer — 447 of-669 (67 percent) for 4,642 yards and 42 touchdowns.

performances in practice, but he continued to struggle in games. Nash didn't take a shot until the second half and finished the game with only two points although he did grab eight rebounds.
Williams said he would have no problem with Nash's stats if Nash would develop his defensive game.
The reserves need more repetitions before they are ready to contribute, but they will continue to get opportunities, Williams said.
"They are going to have to play more, and they are going to have to play successfully when they do," he said, "if we want to be the kind of team we say we want to be."

Sweet Sixteen. Elite Eight. Final Four. And now the Talented Twenty-Five. Will Kansas be at the center of this year's bracket? Will the girl in the mail room pick the NCAA champion? Read on for everything you ever wanted to know (but were afraid to ask) about college basketball.

Okay, so they went 19-12 last year. And they are from the Big South Conference. But trust us, the Eagles can definitely hoop. Besides, these guys are made up of 4,500 polygons, just like any other team.

Despite losing a key player to the NBA, look for the Jayhawks to return to the Final Four this year. We've seen what they have been doing in Practice Mode, and, trust us, we are thoroughly convinced.
Another team we predict to be returning to the Final Four in 2003. Not only do they return with 70 new player models, they look good doing it, too.
Look for what could be the most exciting duo in college basketball to rate high in the on-screen player ratings.

Add the slick job done in recruiting to the usual Blue Devil talent pool, and you get a team that is bound to make some noise. Get ready to hear Billy Packer and Eddie Doucette saying, "And the Blue Devils win again," a lot this season.
8 GEORGIA
They say everything is bigger in Texas, but what we notice on this team are the little guys. The backcourt is the cream of the crop. End of discussion. Obviously, somebody did their homework before this year's recruiting.
The Dawgs' poll position could change in October, depending on their front-court production. If they produce, prepare for this team to move a little higher in the polls.
KENTUCKY

Should come down to the wire between them and Georgia for the SEC crown. Use the over 30 new dunks (including reverses, follow-ups and 360-degree jams) and this Wildcat team might overtake that other Wildcat team.
11 UCLA
10 VIRGINIA
The Cavs are not happy with last season's late collapse that landed them out of the tournament. Don't let that fool you; they've got the talent. Not a pushover computer opponent. Not in the least.
15
No, it's not the 1970s Bruins, but this team ain't bad, either. Besides, the digital cheerleaders are really easy on the eyes. Definitely easy on the eyes.
12 MICHIGAN STATE
This year their most famous alumnus will make it into the NBA Hall of Fame. That just might spark the Spartans to play at an elevated level.
13 XAVIER
"Who?" That's right. Xavier. Get used to seeing this school in the polls. The Musketeers are clearly the class of the A-10. How does a team go from unranked to number 13? Practice Mode, Practice Mode, Practice Mode.
14 ALABAMA
HAWAII 4
With the return of some key players, the Tide possesses one of the best inside-outside combos in the league. If you are attending a Tuscaloosa fish fry this year, expect to see some happy basketball fans.
15 MISS. STATE
The Bulldogs, coming off a Southeastern Conference tournament championship, have a tough schedule, playing both Xavier and Oklahoma this year. Said one player, "Hey, I'm all for just selecting Tournament Mode, and just get right to the tourney."
16 OREGON
Enjoying its first league championship in 63 years and one of the last eight teams standing in last year's tourney, Oregon's picked second by us in the Pac-10, behind No. 1 Arizona. Expect a long stay in the NCAA tournament this year for the Ducks.
17 VILLANOVA
VIA
The pressure is really on to produce and get the Wildcats back into the tournament after a three-year absence. In addition to all the new faces on the team, there will also be new duds for the 'Cats as Villanova debuts a new digital uniform.
18 FLORIDA
UCONN
How about that SEC? Yet another entry from a very tough conference. Tough conference or not, the Gators hold their own against some of the NCAA's best.
Expect the Huskies again to be strong in the backcourt. Use the right analog stick control to perform spin moves and dropsteps out of the post to put the solid backcourt to good use.
20 MARQUETTE
21 INDIANA
The Golden Eagles open against Villanova, marking the first time the two teams have met since the 1980 NCAA tournament. Can this young team hold its own in an upcoming Conference USA? We think so.
Can they get the support they need inside? If not, the Hoosiers could be off-balance even with what should be an extremely productive perimeter.
22 GONZAGA
Can the Bulldogs get the top scorer they need to emerge? Time spent in recruiting will be time well spent. Everything else is in place for another banner season on the left coast.
23 MARYLAND
MISTER
We're considering these champs an outside shot at defending the title after losing four starters. Terps get a new arena this year. Unfortunately, they are also getting a mostly new team, as well.
24 MISSOURI
Mizzou's run to the Elite Eight last year was the Tigers' longest stint in the tourney in eight years. And this should be another promising year.
PARKS
25 USC
A long shot to win the title. Let's face it, they are no Winthrop. But don't count them totally out, either.

loving undergrad from New York, who seemed to find himself at some of the landmark events on the KU campus during the 1960s.
In 1968, Bill Turtle sat at a table with 24 students. As an assistant professor, he taught the first African-American history class at KU: a groundbreaking class for the University because other classes dealing with diversity would follow.
A Classroom Revolution
Tuttle used texts such as John Hope Franklin's "From Slavery to Freedom" to encourage discussion in a class split between black and white students.
Tuttle, who worked with the Lawrence chapter of the NAACP at the time, said much of the political turmoil and racial tension in Lawrence and on campus found its beginnings in Lawrence High School.
Tuttle worked closely with the black students at LHS and said students there wanted more black literature and material taught in classes.
"They weren't treated very respectfully by the high school," he said.
Today, Professor Tuttle teaches an American Studies class called "America in the 1960s." He notices how political activism is different among today's students.
"It's distressing that there's so little discussion on Iraq," he said.
FAILING
RICKY
WALK?
WAKE?
Tuttle said he spent a great deal of time in his class drawing parallels between the Vietnam War and the United States' current conflict with Iraq. But, the main difference between students today and those of the 1960s is the lack of a lottery draft, Tuttle said.
ROTC cadets march past a crowd of protesting students at Memorial Stadium
Occasionally, Tuttle joins the line of Lawrence residents who protest against a war in Iraq each Saturday. He said he greatly supported their cause.
"I'm proud to associate with those people," Tuttle said.
Tuttle said he remembered Rick "Tiger" Dowdell as one of the LHS students who staged walkouts and formed a Black Student Union 50 years ago. Those students' activism would continue on to the KU campus, Tuttle said.
Later, during a summer when the racial and political tension boiled over. Dowdell would be dead.
Dowdell, who was 23 in 1970, said he became heavily involved in militant protests and subversive action with a local group called Brothers and Sisters in Blackness. In fact, carrying a gun was just a part of everyday life for Dowdell.
"It all led up to a spontaneous
combustion in the '60s," he said.
It was this oppression and his tough upbringing that led to an eruption of violence and anger when Dowdell and other black young people in Lawrence became adults. When the time came to pursue a degree in anthropology at the University of Kansas, Dowdell said he carried his anger to the campus.
"But we always kept the first cylinder empty," he said. "That way, if someone took your gun,

you knew you had time to rush that person."
Dowdell said the main black organization on campus, the Black Student Union, was too docile for his taste. Brothers and Sisters in Blackness was modeled after the Black Panthers and worked toward establishing black history curriculum at KU by distributing flyers, Dowdell said.
Dowdell said his family was poor. Raised by a single mother, they were clothed by the Salvation Army, and they had little food.
Racism and segregation were just a part of growing up, Dowdell said.
mer of 1970, he was survived by six brothers, including Randy Dowdell, who now lives in Mesa, Ariz. For Randy, the upheaval in Lawrence in the late 1960s and early 1970s was a culmination of years of oppression that black people faced in Lawrence.
"We went to Woolworth and you couldn't eat at the welcome counter. You could get a to-go plate, but you couldn't sit down," he said.
As Dowdell got older, he said he learned to deal with increased harassment from police.

Officer William Garrett eventually shot him in the back of the head. Garrett was later cleared of any wrongdoing in the matter through a coroner's inquest.
A car chase ensued.
Dowdell also worked for Lawrence's black community from his home, a house named the Afro-House, on Rhode Island street. From the Afro-House, Dowdell administered free breakfast programs and clothing drives for black residents in the neighborhood. But, Dowdell said, the Afro-House also came under heavy surveillance from Lawrence police.
Tiger Dowdell, was leaving the Afro-House around 8:30 p.m. July 16, 1970, just before he was shot and killed.
Newspaper reports from the time say that police heard a gunshot from near the Afro-house, saw Dowdell leaving in a car, and followed him.
Randy Dowdell describes the days after his brother's death as days filled with warfare throughout Lawrence, with shooting between the police, the black community, and white Lawrence residents
"There were truckloads of rednecks hunting us. We were fight-

ing on two fronts," he said
But, as Dowdell looks back, he attributes much of his action to his youth and the anger inside him.
"I had so much hatred in me, I couldn't see past my right finger," he said.
While tragic, the effects of Tiger Dowdell's death sobered Lawrence, said Rusty Monhollon, historian and author of This is America?: The Sixties in Lawrence, KS.
"His death served as a wake-up call for Lawrence," he said. The death also illustrated that the problems of the 1960s hit close to home for Lawrence residents, Monhollon said.
"It wasn't a distant war all the way across the world," he said. "Race was at the heart of that."
While he visits frequently, Randy Dowdell has no desire to move back to Lawrence.
"You remember what used to be there and what used to take place," he said. "We don't have any good memories, just the struggle. It ruined me."
Dowdell said the bad experiences he had during the early 1970s, specifically his brother's
death, were the reason he didn't get his degree from KU. Instead, he transferred, and eventually graduated from Malcolm X College, which was not an accredited institution.
Dowdell encourages young black people today to invest in their community and look after each other.
"The Black Student Union just needs to address today's issues, war on drugs. They need to get back into the black family."
From Guns to Gardening
Bob Lominska, a kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School in Lawrence, found himself at the heart of the action of the anti-war movement at KU during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Lominska came to the University from Long Island, N.Y., where he helped put together an issue of an underground newspaper, "before there was such a thing," he said.
At KU, he attended Students for a Democratic Society meetings, participated in marches and vigils, and handed out anti-war literature.
He took such action to help send a simple mission to U.S. leadership; end the war.
In Spring 1970 then-Chancel-
"We always kept the first cylinder empty. That way, if someone took your gun, you knew you had time to rush that person."
nancy Dowdell
Former Lawrence resident and student activist
lor Laurence H. Chalmers asked for a review of the ROTC cadets by having them march at Memorial Stadium. Lominska was there, along with several other student protesters.
"People saw it as an endorsement of the war," he said. "People were looking for any way to confront the establishment."
When asked to move out of the way of the marching ROTC cadets, Lominska moved; other students didn't. Chalmers eventually cut the review short because of the protest.
He and his roommates were living at a house at 1603 Louisiana St. and often studied in the lobby of the Union. Around 10 p.m. on April 16, 1970, Lominska was already back at home from studying when one of his roommates rushed in and told him the Union was burning. Lominska went to help.
In April 1970, another landmark event of the tumultuous times erupted; arsonists set fire to the Kansas Union. Lominska was there the night it burned.
"People were hauling paintings and grand pianos," Lominska said. He started helping, too, hauling hose in for the men fighting the fire.
"I didn't get to do a whole lot, but we were inside a burning building," he said.
These days, Lominska doesn't join the ranks of protesters on Massachusetts Street, partly because the current conflict does not directly affect young people the way it did during his college years.
"If there was a draft it would be different," he said.
Lominska sees distinct differences in protesting between then and now.
"There are not that many people now, and it's much less intense," he said.

Chonged Lives
More than 30 years after the protests and violence in Lawrence, some of the people most affected by the time reflect on how their lives have changed.
Lominska no longer wields a sign and Dowdell doesn't own a gun.
Dowdell also observes how Lawrence is different from the way it used to be.

Miles-led Jayhawks dismount Mules,97-70

Aaron Miles is a tough nut.
Well, at least according to men's basketball cochoy Roy Williams.
But the sophomore point guard didn't crack under increased pressure to score last night, when his team needed added offense because of an injury to senior guard Kirk Hinrich. Instead, Miles ignited the Jayhawks' offense, scoring a career-high 20 points in Kansas' 97-70 victory against Central Missouri State at Allen Fieldhouse.
"Aaron is a tough little nut," Williams said. "He's not afraid to step up there and try to make plays and I think that's the way he was trying to play tonight."
Williams attributed Miles' sudden explosiveness to his hard-nosed attitude.
Miles said that, after the Jayhawks' two losses in New York last week, he was pushing himself to be more offense-oriented.
"The last couple of games I've been trying to get more aggressive," Miles said.
Sophomore guard Aaron Miles takes the ball down court during the first half of last night's game against Central Missouri State. Miles led the team with 7 assists and finished the game with a career-high 20 points.
"Once I'm knocking down shots and making plays, they're going to have to respect me more."
Miles applied constant pressure on the perimeter and hit 2-of-3 shots behind the arc. By halftime, he only needed three more points to tie his previous career high of 16.
After the game, Miles said he didn't listen to those who criticize his scoring ability.
"I hear that a lot, but I can score," he said. "We've got great scorers on our team right now, and sometimes I don't need to score."
Kansas' other two sophomore start
ers, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford, also reached double digits before the break.
Langford, who finished with 23
points, seven rebounds and five assists became the main playmaker at times

It's not hell freezing over,but the Kansas women's basketball team having a better record than its men's counterpart is shocking.
Kansas women outplay men basketball team
It's been 15 years since the women's team had the better record four games into the season. The Kansas women's team started the 1987-88 season 3-1 while the men were 2-2.
That three-game winning streak should extend to four tomorrow when the Jayhawks face Texas Southern in the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic. The Tigers were 11-17 last year and this year's improved Jayhawks should earn their fourth victory easily.
The men have played two more games than the women this season, but even with last night's victory against Central Missouri State, the men are just a game above .500, while the women are undefeated through three games.
This year's non-conference schedules for both teams could still leave the women ahead of the men entering Big 12 Conference play.
This year's women's squad, much improved from last year's team with a 5-25 record because of an influx of young talent, can win all three games left on the schedule against teams with losing records last season. The Jayhawks face just four opponents who had winning records last season and should defeat three of them.
Assuming the Jayhawks defeat Texas Southern, their first game against a team above 500 last year will be Saturday's championship against either Western Michigan (16-15 last year) or Western Illinois (16-12). At home and trying to match last year's victory total, the Jayhawks should continue their unbeaten streak by tipping one of the Midwest directional schools.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Creighton (24-7 last year) should
Levi Chronister
|chronister@kansan.com
be too tough for Kansas, but facing Hampton (17-14) in Allen Fieldhouse should be a gimme for the Jayhawks. Georgia State (21-10) should prove to be a challenge, but Kansas will have a "home crowd" on its side. The game is the first half of the Fiest Shootout in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
The men should win that game. They already have two non-conference losses, though, and could pick up a third or fourth with games against Oregon, UCLA and California still undecided. Toss in a game against current No. 1 Arizona after the Big 12 season has started, and the Jayhawk men could finish with five losses outside of conference play.
It's been four seasons since the women's team had a better non-conference record than the men. In the 1998- 1999 season, the women went 12-5 outside of the Big 12 and the men were 8-4.
The men's team will still finish with a better record in the Big 12 and overall because it is the cream of the conference crop while the women's team is overmatched by nearly every other Big 12 squad. The women should defeat a weak Nebraska team on both meetings and can also defeat Missouri at home.
Still, a 13-14 record after last year's debacle is a big step for the women's team and a giant step toward gaining the respectability of the men's squad.
Coach Williams still baffled by bench performance

With senior guard Kirk Hinrich and his strained back at his side, Kansas coach Roy Williams was looking for bench players to step up against Central Missouri State last night.
He's still looking.
"I wasn't pleased," Williams said of the subs play after the Jayhawks' 97-70 victory against the Division II school. "You don't have to be a nuclear physicist to figure out we can't turn the ball over and things like that."
The Jayhawks' bench scored just eight points, committed eight of Kansas' 16 turnovers, while recording only two assists in the blowout.
But that doesn't bother Williams,
because he is searching for players who can maintain the team's intensity and run the offense when the starters leave the floor, he said.
In past years, Kansas could count on key reserves like TJ. Pugh, who graduated in 1999, and Jeff Carey, who completed his eligibility last season.
"You can really help us if you don't hurt us," he said.
Carey averaged just 1.9 points per game last season — his best total at Kansas — but that he is exactly the kind of player Williams said this team needed.
Carey was the perfect example of a player who contributed by not committing mental mistakes, Williams said. Carey was not much of a threat to score, but his unselfishness of offense and tough-nosed defensive play provided much-needed breaks for then-junior forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden

Williams hasn't given up the search yet. Sophomore guard Michael Lee, junior forward Jeff Graves and freshman guard leff Hawkins are all likely candidates, he said.

Kansas' shallow bench has been on the lips of fans for some time, but was also a topic last night from Jayhawk starters.
Junior forward Bryant Nash, who started in Hinrich's place, remains the most promising candidate based on his
"It's a concern," sophomore forward Wayne Simien said after last night's game. "It's definitely something that helped us a lot last year. That might be something we have to play without this season."

Anarchists'home shows groups'organization
By George Schulz gschulz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The residents of the Black Cat Collective, a Lawrence anarchist group, keep a clean and well-organized house.
The bathrooms are spotless; the floors are swept; the couches and tables are free from clutter. A mass of books, videos and independent, underground magazines is neatly organized by literary genre on stacks of shelves casing the living room.
Suggesting that organization is antithetical to anarchist theory is exactly what advocates of the philosophy resent the most.
"If you want to see anarchism in action, just take a look at our kitchen," said Dave Strano, a resident of the house.
Indeed, the kitchen is spotless. No dishes are in the sink, the counters are wiped clean, and the floors are thoroughly mopped. Everyone in the collective at 1305 Tennessee St. works together to keep it that way.
The house serves dual purposes—quarters for four residents, including two KU students, and a collective for political and social activists in Lawrence.
Everyone, including the residents of the house and members of the collective who visit the house regularly, works to keep the

house organized. They say anarchism is the belief that hierarchy in society is nonessential and that cooperation is the best alternative.
"Higher authority actually makes things less cooperative," said Nicole Burton, member of the collective and student at Lawrence High School. "By eliminating hierarchy, you actually promote cooperation."
Residents and members of the collective admit the house doesn't always function as planned, but they say they're doing their best to implement their cooperative beliefs into the collective's structure. Everyone involved with the collective contributes to consensus votes on decisions that impact the entire house.
"Responsibility is delegated, including house chores." Strano said. "We're trying to evolve daily, but it takes a while to unlearn behavior patterns."

Members of the Black Cat Collective play Twister. The Black Cat Collective is an organization of local anarchists based in the Lawrence area. Their library on 1305 Tennessee is full of activist literature and books, its also open to the public.
said the house had originally been known as the Mother Earth Collective from October 2001 until July 2002. She said the former residents had established the foundation necessary for the Black Cat Collective to thrive by leaving the book and magazine library in the house.
WEEKLY EVENTS AT THE BLACK CAT COLLECTIVE
Tuesday: 7 p.m. anarchist study group
Wednesday (second and forth of month):
6 p.m. women's health group and 6 p.m.
library general meetings
Thursday: 7 p.m. prisoner writing circles
Strano said a lease for the house would last until August, and the current residents had no plans to move after that.
"We pay our rent on time, and the landlord likes us," he said.
Even if the collective did shut down on a short notice, residents and members said they wouldn't have any trouble finding places for the mass amount of material in the house's lending library.
"Anarchists are some of the most resourceful people." Strano said. "There would be no lack of energy to find space for this stuff."

Trucker rocks without any stereotypical titles
By Amy Kelly
By Amy Kelly akelly@kansan.com Jayplay writer
A pissed-off R.E.M. An angst-free Nirvana.
Trucker doesn't know exactly how to describe itself, but the aforementioned titles will do just fine.
"I think we're a normal rock 'n' roll band," singer Todd Johnson said. "We don't fall into the stereotypical Lawrence bands like hippie or emo rock."
The seven-year-old band is gearing up for the release of its first full-length record in January.
The band says the record is like a map of its growth.
Although Johnson writes the majority of Trucker's material, drummer Barletta contributed on a song called "Monoloid Pitch"
"It's a collection of all the songs we've played for the past five years," drummer Tom Barletta said. "They're pretty solid. The thing is, if you like one of them, you're going to like all of them."
to the latest album that might catch listeners off guard.
"It's kind of like 'Green Onions,'" Barletta said. "It almost goes off time, but then it comes back around again."
The Trucker sound is undeniably all its own — combining the energy of bassist Wayne Rasmuss and Barletta's rhythm section, with the honest lyrics and signature twangy vocals of Johnson.
Despite the obvious Southern feel, Johnson said Trucker's music was never intended to sound like Lynyrd Skynyrd in overdrive.
"It was just developed over time," Johnson said, adding that his band mates' musical influences revealed the truth of the matter. "Wayne listens to Steely Dan and jazz, and Tom hasn't listened to a band since 1970."
When Barletta met Johnson at a film school in Florida, the two relied on just their guitar and drum set to create the ideal sound.
Coordinating the instruments allowed Barletta to create new and interesting
sounds, compensating for the lack of bass.
"I had to learn how to make the most out of a song," Barletta said. "I was pushed to go off the singing and the guitar. All my cues are really vocally."
Johnson had the idea of moving to Lawrence, which was a nationally praised and thriving music scene at the time.
Lawrence has proved somewhat of a discouraging place for the musicians in Trucker. In the past, they have even been paid with a case of beer.
"We've been through a lot in the past couple of years," Johnson said. "You have a limited audience and it's a new crowd you have to work in with students leaving every year."
The days of waiting for a major record label to sign new bands are in the past and Trucker is motoring toward the information superhighway.
In March the band is planning on attending the South by Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas, but for the present is concentrating on releasing its record and playing live.
For the Trucker novice, Barletta said that his band was for those who basically wanted to rock.
One recent development in the band's career may be paving the way to success. In September, American Music Awards named Trucker one of the top fifty bands in America, at the annual Coca-Cola New Music Award Competition.
"The way I see it is that Trucker is three guys who get together and write some pretty damn good songs," Barletta said. "And more than musicians, we're there to entertain."
"We've been using the Web and MP3s visit www.truckerrocks.com more," Johnson said. "We have had really good luck putting out our music digi- Edited by Chris Wintering

Condoms necessary, offered in several varieties
By Brandy Furst
Lawrence freshman
How much can you really say about condoms? You know you should use them. Your mother probably sent you subtle hints that if you ever did decide to have sex you had better protect yourself. We all know what she meant by this. I remember when my mother said the word "condom" to me or the first time; I wanted to die. It was like being 13 and watching a movie with your mother — characters in the movie start making out and you start squirming in your chair. That feeling.
Well, there is a lot more to it than you may think. I've done some research, and I have found some interesting condoms out there. There are many different types of condoms. Ribbed, lubricated, spermicidal, flavored, disks, lambskin, latex, French ticklers and different shapes. I will try to provide a brief description of some different types.
First you have your standard condom. Probably the type most people carry in their wallets or purses. Though carrying
them in your wallet is a bad thing. It wears them down. These standard condoms are usually your basic Trojan, Lifestyles, or Durex. They are very practical functionally and financially. There is nothing wrong with these condoms at all. Sometimes they come with lubrication, spermicide or ribs.
Specialty condoms are usually a bit more expensive. They are usually flavored, are of higher quality or have a particular enhancement to boost pleasure. Flavored condoms are good for people who prefer to use a condom during oral sex. A couple of problems introduce themselves when working with these. They lose their flavor and dry out quickly.
Lambskin is another specialty condom. These are mainly for people who are allergic to latex and are usually expensive Lambskin condoms do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases because the condom's surface contains microscopic holes that allow disease organisms to pass through.
Another specialty condom is a French tickler or extension condom. French ticklers usually have special plastic or latex on
You know you should use them Your mother probably sent you subtle hints that if you ever did decide to have sex,you better protect yourself. I remember the first time my mother said the word "condom". I wanted to die.
the sides or tips. They help stimulate the vagina or anus. It can be difficult to control a French tickler if it has an extension on the edge of the condom. Extension condoms are similar to the French ticklers. They have an extra plastic or latex extension over the condom, making the penis seem longer or wider. These are usually easier to control than the French ticklers.
The last specialty condom is one that is shaped differently than a regular condom. Brands like Pleasure Plus and InSpiral, which has a head shaped like a seashell, fit in this category. These condoms can be
more pleasurable than your typical Trojan,but that enjoyment comes with a price-a pack of three usually costs about $7.
The majority of people I have talked to insist on safe sex. Not only for their protection, but for their partner's protection as well. Finding the right condom can be difficult. You want something thin, and your partner wants something ribbed. Experimenting with different types of condoms can be a great couples activity Explore your options and broaden your horizons.
A condom, if used correctly, can be a wonderful thing. You know now that they are used for so much more than just protection from STDs and pregnancy. Yes, I know that they can sometimes be a mood killer — like the awkward silence during the 15 seconds you spend putting it on. The wait is well worth it. Don't be afraid to discuss condoms with your significant other. Your partner will probably feel good to know that you take an interest in his or her protection and pleasure.
Treat yourself to provocative private pleasure
By Alan Emmons
Lawrence sophomore
Looking for a way to gratify yourself? Can't find that person who's willing to hop in the sack with you? Look no further than Rosy Palm and her five friends. Those days when your parents told you that you'd go blind or grow hair on your palms are long gone. Although masturbation may come across to some as a very boring sexual activity, a simple toy or exotic place can spice up anyone's masturbation session.
There are many options to make masturbation fun and exciting. Masturbating in a public place can give any person that extra adrenaline rush to create a fulfilling sexual experience. A late night at the top of the hill near Potter Lake or Memorial Stadium is sure to create an evening you will never forget. Perhaps having an audience adds to

your sexual energy. Be sure the cops are not around, or you will be dealing with indecent exposure.
Lubes of different colors and textures can often be used to make an exhilarating session. Some of you may be gutsy enough to taste your lube or use it in another creative way. Whatever the case, there is no such thing as too much.
Adding toys can often generate an unforgettable experience. These toys can consist of anything you can find at Naughty but Nice or your local grocery store. For women, a zucchini may provide some interesting feelings, while the guys
may find that an apple pie fresh from the bakery gives an alternate to the real thing. The messier the better.
A lot of men may find this repulsive, but anal masturbation is a great way to explore your sexual feelings. Inserting a finger to discover what lurks inside will often set you up with a feeling of ecstasy. Just as the clitoris is the key for a woman clicking her mouse, the most erogenous zone of the male body is the prostate gland, located just below the skin in the anus. If it makes you feel more comfortable with your masculinity, refer to Road Trip where a certain young man goes in to donate sperm and is anally stimulated by a female to the point of ejaculation. Women and men also have the option of using anal beads for an erotic self-making love session, but be sure to pull them out carefully, or you may have a mess on your hands.
For those who like excitement in groups, you can always get together for an old-fashioned circle jerk. A circle jerk consists of more than two people, and can be people of both sexes. All you have to do is simply pop in a porn, unzip your pants and get busy with it. Just make sure you have plenty of towels around to clean up your mess near the end of your get-together.
And if groups intimidate you,try mutual masturbation. Sometimes all you need is the fondling from someone else to get you excited.
Don't be ashamed that you masturbate; everyone does it. You do not need to 'fess up to it, but generally, those who deny it do it more than anyone else. Just remember, masturbation can be just as fulfilling as intercourse when you spice up your sessions.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 5
Drop daily routines and experience ecstasy
By Marla Keown Topeka freshman
"Keep It Simple, Stupid" is one of my favorite quotes that I utilize in everyday activities. From driving to a friend's apartment to picking out which meal to have at my favorite restaurant, keeping it simple underlies my daily lifestyle. Although keeping it simple has positive uses, it can also cause negative feedback in the sack.
It's funny how much one's personality can be brought out in the romp room. When driving to a certain location, I take the exact same route every time. Why drive 12 minutes out of the way when there is a shorter route available? For the simple reason of keeping it simple. When eating at restaurants, the same meal will be on my plate every time. By keeping it simple, I am not only easily satisfied, but I don't get lost along the way either. Unfortunately, this
thought of simplicity can lead to repetitiveness, if not boredom, in the bedroom. Just like driving to a buddy's house, reaching an orgasm is found by the same route every time. Clitoral stimulation is a simple, easy and effective way to park at that pinnacle point. Although the idea of keeping it simple kept me satisfied every time, I soon discovered I was missing out on the vast world of orgasms.
While wining and dining with the girls, I heard wild tales of sexual ventures and the many different types of orgasms. At first, I attributed the seemingly outrageous types of orgasms to the number of beers consumed. Yet, as my friend started to unfold her discoveries in detail, I became envious of her escapades. That night I took a different route home.
To reach orgasms, women must learn the wonderful art of masturbation. If one way doesn't work for you, try something
Although keeping it simple has positive uses,it can also cause negative feedback in the sack.
different or even seemingly odd. Clitoral stimulation is just one way to make you glow. If it isn't working for you in the bed, try a cozy chair for your fingers to work out in. If direct stimulation isn't getting you anywhere, feel around for more exciting results.
Once you've mastered stimulation, find a friendly vibrator for penetration. Don't let the extremities be frightening; start out with something small and simple. By letting loose with yourself, you have better chances of reaching versatile orgasms with a partner.
When meeting up with your bedfellow, don't let routine get in the way. Fool
around and let the bedroom become a pot-pourri of positions. Try laying on your belly for a better climax. Instead of the mundane missionary, take control on top. If sitting instead of lying down isn't working, try something more practical. Let your partner talk dirty, and feel free to return the favor. Ask questions and tell your playmate what is or isn't working. By communicating, climax can be achieved more efficiently.
Although keeping it simple helps in everyday activities, it can also hinder nightly fun. If your daily grind is interfering with after-hour sex-capades, change your regular routine. If you wish to be more domineering in the sack, speak up in class and let your opinion or questions be heard. If you want more than ordinary clitoral orgasms, let yourself get lost on the way to a buddy's apartment. By changing your daily lifestyles, nighttime frolics can become more fun.
Threesomes add zing to tantalizing sex
By Patrick Ross Topeka freshman
They say good and evil come in threes. I guess the same could be said for some adventurous folks during sexual encounters. A threesome, a menage a trois, a barrel of sin, whatever you call it, opinions tend to be mixed about having sex with two other people at the same time. When asking around about the subject, I've heard everything from "No way in hell" to "Where do I sign up?"
I don't know where you can sign up but I do know threesomes can happen in a variety of situations. Mine have all happened in very different ways, and each had its pros and cons. Some couples really enjoy including a third in their sexual adventures from time to time. Sometimes, when alcohol is involved, three-way lovin' just sort of happens between friends. But, whether planned or unplanned, it's best to be informed about dealing with the situation during and after the adventure.
When planning a threesome with your significant other, it's best to be very clear on
A threesome, a menage a trois, a barrel of sin, whatever you call it, when asking about the subject, I've heard everything from "No way in hell" to "Where do I sign up?"
a couple of points. First, do both partners really want the third? This can negatively impact the entire relationship if the answer is "no" and you proceed anyway. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that you should never let yourself be coerced into adding a third if you don't feel comfortable doing so. Second, is the relationship strong enough to survive the threesome? Disaster is waiting in the wings for a couple whose members aren't committed to each other. It can be awful to find out that your partner doesn't care about you as much as you thought, but it's even worse if you find out on the heels of an experimental tryst. However, if the two of you are positive it's an experience that you'll both enjoy, a threesome can be exciting and even energize your private sex
life afterward.
Oh, and make sure you'll be able to look the third participant in the eye the next day. If you won't be able to, you should think twice about why you want to include an extra person in the first place. If you're the third person, first relish all the attention during the encounter, but also respect that the other two members of your trio aren't contestants and be mindful that you realize they're already in a relationship. They've placed a lot of trust in you.
If your threesome action comes in the second variety (party, alcohol, ring a bell?), there's not much planning involved. Afterward, be it immediately or the next day, it's best to discuss what happened and make sure there are no hard feelings. Whether you and your partner added a third on a whim, you and a friend shared a hottie or the three of you had no ties to begin with, it can be dangerous to friendship and relationships to not work out why things happened the way they did.
Assuming everything was all in fun, you can chalk it up to your continuing sexual education. Hurt feelings and feelings of guilt, though, should be taken seriously by
all parties. If you feel guilty for doing what you did,it's obviously best not to repeat your actions.
During the romp, it's best to remember the following: share and respect everyone else's boundaries. It sounds like kindergarten, but it's oh so important to remember that no one likes to feel left out and no one likes to feel uncomfortable when your parts are touching theirs. Communication is the key to enjoying a threesome; surviving one with your dignity intact is easier when you've enjoyed it. In fact, communication is the key to enjoying any sexual situation, but that's an entirely different article.
Above all, be safe. A Jenny Jones-style paternity test wouldn't look good on anyone's sexual resume and trying to figure out who gave who crabs is a sure-fire way to end a friendship.
Threesomes can be fun if you're so inclined. However, it's up to you to legislate yourself and make sure you know what you're getting into. Monogamous sexual relationships are flavorful, but threesomes are a spice that shouldn't be avoided if the situation is right.

Food, bodies mix well for loving delight
Whipped cream, apple pie, cranberry jelly, sweet potatoes, gravy and wine.

While many of these foods will make their regular appearances at holiday dinner tables all over the country, their delights need not be experienced only while sitting at a table surrounded by friends and loved ones.
Jason Biggs provided one of the more famous examples of enjoying food in a noneating setting in American Pie, in which he experienced first love in the warm embrace of freshly baked apple pie. I must admit the warm apple smell and tart, cinnamon taste of the desert made his foray into getting freaky with food fairly easy to understand.
Taste and smell play a huge part in any erotic experience, and adding a few flavors to the main course can be cause for hours of messy, mouth-watering fun — full pie not required.
Whipped cream, cheap and easy in a can, can be squirted wherever your heart desires. Make your lover your own special cream puff, and enjoy the fluffy feeling on your tongue and in your loins as you lick him or her clean.
Increase the chill factor by bringing your favorite frozen treat into the bedroom. Ice
is nice, but Popsicles come in flavors and have nifty sticks for easy handling. Sherbet pops are also a fun delight, causing spiningling chills for the sherbetee and sexy tastes for the sherbeter. Though a little arctic action won't hurt any sensitive spots, getting the frozen end of a Popsicle in one of your holiest of holes without warning isn't a desire of most. So start slowly by teasing the lips or neck with the juicy delight, before you work your way down.
Chocolate sauce has been a standard of food fun since being packaged in a squeeze bottle. In fact, almost anything in a squeeze bottle begs "sex play, please," and thanks to modern technology, more foods are squeezable now than ever before.
If all the eating has caused a thirst, there's no need to take a break from the
action. Sipping champagne or wine out of the hollows of your lover's body or out of his mouth is a fine way to quench any thirst. In cold weather, try warming up with a little hot (but not too hot) chocolate. Cold or warm, the feeling of liquid flowing across bare skin is a spine-tingling sensation not to be missed. But, stay away from combining soda and sex unless you want to pepper your romantic relations with hearty belches.
Though slightly less slippery than creams or liquid, more solid food can also be part of creative sex. Cake, like pie, is a food not only good to poke but also to smear and lick. The choices are almost endless.
Foods such as zucchini or strawberries are an all-natural, more healthy alternative to finding food-based fun in a squeeze bottle or coated with sugar. These more solid foods can become more intimately involved in the playing-around process.
Zuccchini can take almost any move you want to make. Just use caution whenever inserting anything into any orifice: It is amazing what can be lost in the body, especially in the colon. Also remember to wash anything that might be making it around or
in the body.
Though a little food can be washed away fairly well with some soap and water, pesticides are another matter altogether. Basically don't put it in your body if you wouldn't put it in your mouth.
While on the subject of washing, keep in mind that food play is not for those who hyperventilate at the first signs of a mess. Some foods will stain, and an old sheet or blanket should protect any priceless bedcovers. If you're really worried, invest in a rubber sheet or tarp.
Or get it on condiment-style in the kitchen to ensure fairly easy, and stain-free, clean up. You can always say a bottle fell out of the refrigerator and broke if you get caught with the mess not so when somebody comes over to find your bed covered in pumpkin pie.
Speaking of, there's certain to be loads of post-holiday feast edibles hanging around in kitchens and refrigerators all month.
Kind of makes the term midnight snack have a slightly naughtier meaning.
After all, there are no worries about minding your manners when you're not at the dinner table.

Web logs new trend in online technology
By Kyle Ramsey
kramsey@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An emerging Internet technology is changing the way many Web surfers express themselves online.
When the trend began gaining momentum a few years ago, the technology was called simply a Web log. It allows users to post chronologically ordered entries, similar to an online diary. Web surfers reading the logs can post feedback to each entry.
In the same way that electronic mail became e-mail, Web logs have become blogs. Now Web surfers have blogs and can be found blogging.
Nick Mucci, Winnetka, Ill., sophomore, began his blog about a year ago as a way to keep his long-distance friendships going. Mucci's blog is online at people.eecs.ku.edu/~nmucci.
"I have friends all over the country, and we like keeping in contact with each other," he said.
The public presence of his blog made it an attractive alternative to e-mail or telephone conversations. This way, friends seeking him can search online to locate his blog, and Mucci can also keep in touch with those who know where to find it.
Katie Lohrenz another KU blogger decided to blog for a different reason. "At this point there are very few things I wouldn't post."
"It was just Katie Lohrenz a way to have Wichita freshman fun and be a geek and pub- ___
lish Web sites," the Wichita freshman said. Her two-year-old blog, located at www.badpoetry.net/katie, lead to a few new friendships and an interstate journey to meet her best Web friend. She visited him last year in California.
Keeping up with the blog audience is an everyday chore, they said.
When Lohrenz forgets to update hers, the blog-reading faithful turn to her e-mail.
"After a while, it's 'are you dead?' " she said.
The trend caught Ann Brill's attention two years ago. Brill, a professor of journalism who specializes in online media, suspects blogs' popularity comes from their

intimacy — with a little help from society's obsession with reality entertainment.
"Some of it is really fascinating stuff," she said. "Probably like watching The Osbournes on the Internet."
Blogs' future could create new uses for the medium, eventually replacing the way society interacts with online media. For example, reporters could post news snippets on their blogs as soon as the information was available, changing the way society receives news, she said.
Both Mucci and Lohrenz realize they're baring their lives and souls online for all to see, but that is part of blogs' attraction. After awhile the shyness fades, they said.
"At this point, there are very few things I wouldn't post," Lohrenz said.
Sites like xanga.com and blogger.com offer free blog publishing for personal use. After a brief registration process, a wannabe blogger could be blogging his or her life story in seconds.
For those with more advanced computer skills, blogger.com and moveabletype.org are examples of sites that offer free blog-publishing software for use on personal sites. Both packages are compatible with the free Web space provided to KU students by the University.
"I can't be a painter. I can't be a sculptor. But I can make a pretty Web site," she said. "Its a pretty powerful thing."
Lohrenz said she found blogging to be a therapeutic, creative outlet.

Lawrence's mix of Marys paint town red
The Kansan rates local Bloody Mary specials
The Bloody Mary is more a genre than a drink recipe. It is a broad category of cocktail with great flexibility to suit individual tastes. Like it spicy? Be liberal with the Tabasco or Worcestershire sauce. Like it gritty? Smother it in a hail of celery salt, seasoned salt, black pepper, hot pepper or another special seasoning. Or make a meal of it with green olives, pickles and celery.
Enthusiasts have published recipes that include clam juice, beef bouillon, horseradish, sauerkraut juice (Wisconsin only), dillweed and onion powder. In a letter to a friend written in 1947, Ernest Hemingway recommended using cayenne pepper. "If you get it too powerful, weaken it with more tomato juice. If

it lacks authority, add more vodka," he wrote.
A quick history lesson: some say the drink is named for England's Queen Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII. She was given the nickname Bloody Mary because of her persecution of Protestants in the name of the Catholic Church.
But the drink is believed to have been first mixed in 1924 by a bartender working in Paris named Fernand Petiot. It was popularized in the 1930s, when Petiot introduced it to the swanky clientele at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. Another explanation for the name is that it was suggested by a customer because it reminded him of the Bucket of Blood Club in Chicago and a girl there named Mary.

Buffalo Wild Wings' Bloody Mary takes a unique approach to making its hangover helper. Bartender Kevin Zolotor said he "makes 'em like I drink 'em — hot and thick." A splash of Guinness gives the drink added thickness and the restaurant's Blazing wing sauce in lieu of Tabasco sauce sets tongues on fire. This Bloody Mary is not for the timid.

They play Marvin Gaye in this east-side establishment, but knocking back a couple of these drinks isn't likely to put anyone in the mood for gettin' it on.

Sunday night drinkers at Johnny's Tavern like it spicy. And so do we. Since 1953, Johnny's has been mixing its drinks to the liking of its Sunday regulars, which include a fleet of Johnson County bikers who've come to appreciate the taste of the bar's custom-mixed Bloody Marys. We're not sure if it was the drink or the brawny bartender that got us all hot and bothered.

If you're not in the mood for a schooner, the bar's signature 32-ounce chalice-o-beer, this is an excellent alternative, especially when it's on special Sunday nights. With some celery salt, alittle Worcestershire and a pickle, it's crisp and refreshing, unlike all the classic rock on the jukebox.

You would think Mexi-Kans was a Russian restaurant with the amount of vodka in its Bloody Mary. But the kick of Habanero hot sauce and the free chips and salsa reminded us of Mexico. Although it was not the best-by far—we would be willing to return for a Bloody Mexi-Kan, a Mary made with tequila for a south of the border twist.

The O'Dell's Bloody Mary is made from a basic recipe of tomato juice and vodka. There's nothing special in this version just a pre-made mix. And there's no garnish topping the tiny glass. The O'Dell's Bloody Mary does taste pretty good because it's smooth and doesn't reek of cheap vodka. This drink isn't too spicy so it's another good choice for those who want a milder Mary.

A lack of spiciness may make this Bloody Mary easy to drink, but without the spice it lacks one of the essentials to a good Bloody Mary. Bartender Michael Kennedy said about the morning-after cure, "If it doesn't make you sweat, it's not doing its job." This version lacks anything that makes it unique to Paradise Café. It has the basic Tabasco, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce, but no secret ingredient. The garnish is pleasing with celery salt around the rim of the glass and a peperoncini and olives speared on a sword are a nice touch.

Maybe it's the Cavender's Greek seasoning or the shot of olive juice. This tasty libation stays with you awhile without scorching your taste buds off. Served in a pint glass with a couple of olives, this Bloody Mary can help you lose yourself in a game of 8-ball. Our only complaint: it's full of Viaka, the ugly stepchild of vodka brands.

Easy dorm dishes beat cafeteria blues
To be blunt, the cafeteria food in college is nothing but weak. While there are daily specials of meatloaf and mashed potatoes plus other classics, the repetitiveness of the same food each and every day gets exhausting. Between exams and studying, the toll has been taken, and by the time student's venture to the dining hall, they is a resemble zombies.
EATTHIS
Regardless, all universities are required to provide students with this bland food "alternative," and it is boring.
So, it's time to take the initiative, rid yourself of the same old food and start creating dishes that are delicious. To this end, save yourself from the lack of options and buy a single electronic burner to begin cooking for yourself in the dorm. Not only is it inexpensive (about $15), but also it will save you the burden of eating junk.

C: People say high-protein diets are bad, but people lose a lot of weight on them. What's wrong with that?
A: An individual's initial weight loss from high protein diets is not attributed to fat loss. The weight loss is due to water weight that is caused by restricting carbohydrates. The intake of carbohydrates will be accompanied by water during the storage process. The intake of protein doesn't result in water storage, so dehydration may eventually cause the individual additional health concerns. Because high protein diets are typically high in saturated fat, increases in cholesterol levels can be expected. High protein diets can also put stress on the kidneys, causing greater loss of calcium in the urine. High protein diets encourage several negative side effects that do not aid in the quest for long-term weight loss.

Over holidays, enjoy what you eat, just not too much
A
About this time of the year, too many details exist to commit to memory. Three people to buy presents for, four finals left, and five more days of class. But there's one more number to keep in mind: seven.
HEALTH
Leslie Kimmel
lkimmel@kansan.com
That's seasonal seven—the average number of pounds an American gains from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's morning.
The combination of friends, family, vacation, and food leaves most people a few pounds heavier by the time next semester rolls around. So you have to admit to yourself that yes, at times, you will be prone to overeat.
There are usually two approaches when it comes to the holidays and holiday food. One is the "starve and binge" approach, where you spend the day making room and the evening filling up on treats.
Keep in mind that the season will pack some pounds underneath your sweater, but it doesn't have to be seven.
Many people think that eliminating a whole day's worth of calories will make up
for special holiday dishes. But they fail to consider that eating throughout the day ensures that they won't show up to a festivity absolutely starving and then overeat.
If you know that you are going to indulge later that day, plan ahead. Instead of following your usual routine and grabbing a morning cinnamon roll — or skipping meals altogether — opt for some lighter fare.
Replace your usual meal plan with a snack and a meal. Remember that a meal is usually between 400 calories and 500 calories, while a snack has between 200 calories and 400 calories.
So think about eating a breakfast meal, and then grabbing a healthy snack about an hour before the party. Granola bars, crackers, fruit and cottage cheese are some easy, low-fat snack options that still have nutritional value.
Eliminating all healthy habits when the holidays near is the other approach. A lot of times this stems from dieter's beliefs that absolutely, in no way will they stray from their diets.
Forget about this right now. In many cases, a strict dieter will cave and treat themselves to some holiday candy, and thinking that he blew it, will then give up on all healthy habits and finish the whole bag.
Instead of pushing all healthy habits out of mind, play the balancing act. Make room for some carrot sticks next to your mashed potatoes and homemade gravy. You will bend the diet rules a little bit, so don't be too hard on yourself.
But you might want to look out for and limit some guilty holiday dishes. Appetizers, side dishes, and of course, desserts are traps of hidden fat. Think about balancing with some lighter choices, such as fresh fruits and veggies.
Also, try to take a few steps back from the buffet table when socializing. You may be prone to pick at certain treats and might not even realize it.
The words "no" and "holiday food" should not be found in the same sentence. Instead of thinking in terms of what not to eat, survey the dinner table and pick three or four items that you would like to sample. Everything you eat is there to be enjoyed.
During the holidays, admit to yourself that you will grab a few pieces of grandma's homemade fudge. Always keep in mind that the holidays are a time for friends, family and fun.
By taking some simple precautions, you can help to make this the season for a healthy and enjoyable season.

Review
Journalist's biography merely dull repeat
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
In journalism classes, aspiring reporters are taught about a multi-tiered source evaluation system, where the best source is a primary source, someone who has seen the action firsthand or is intricately involved in what they are writing about.
Knowing this rule makes John F. Stacks' biography, Scotty: James B. Reston and the Rise and Fall of American Journalism, troubling.
Reston, a famed New York Times reporter and columnist, is certainly the type of figure who warrants a biography: in his lifetime he schmoozed presidents from three generations, won multiple Pulitzer Prizes and is acknowledged by most as a driving force in The Times' rise to the most respected newspaper in the United States.
The problem is, the book Deadline has already been written by no less a source then Reston himself.
That being said, Scotty is well-written
and well-researched.
In preparing for the biography, Stacks tapped Reston's surviving family, former colleagues and his diaries to form a welldrawn portrait of the man.
Stacks follows a traditional chronological path as he charts Reston's life. Written in the abbreviated style associated with journalism, Scotty is an easy read that makes its subject interesting.
Stacks paints Reston as a swashbuckling type, and he backs it up with rich anecdotes.
In the book's first chapter Stacks tells of a meeting Reston had with then-president John F. Kennedy.
What made the meeting unique was that Kennedy had just met with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and spoke to Reston before he spoke to anyone else, White House staff, family or otherwise.
Such access is but a pipe dream for today's reporters, and stories like this are commonplace in Reston's life.
Yet, such stories were known long before Stacks' delivered Scotty. Reston published his memoir in 1991. There's not
much new in Scotty, and certainly not the boldly stated "rise and fall of American journalism."
What is new is relatively asinine. Stacks points out in a footnote that, though Reston's kids never recall him raising his voice, Reston claims to have "spanked the living daylights out of his eldest son."
Perhaps the best "gotcha" Stacks unveils is a discrepancy in the name of a source who helped Reston win his first Pulitzer.
Ultimately, though, Stacks' revelations raise little more then a dull roar and barely warrant mention.
Stacks' background as a reporter, editor and chief of correspondents for Time makes his decision to write about Reston, especially considering he's essentially been scooped by his subject, difficult to understand.
Scotty is full of crisp, clear prose and would otherwise be an outstanding biography.
Because Reston, perhaps the most lauded columnist and reporter in the history of U.S.print journalism,has already told his own story,you have to wonder why you would want to read it again.

Established chart-toppers release new CDs
Paul McCartney, Back in the US., Capitol Records
Paul McCartney fans blessed enough to see his "Back in the U.S." tour should immediately set out on the long and winding road to the record store to pick up the live double-disc.
For what it is, Back in the U.S. is not bad. The b and d sound s good together, and Paul can stillsing. Although it might be more artistically laudable for him to keep writing original music (a la Johnny Cash or Bob Dylan), McCartney seems to just want to have a good time these days with the old favorites, and this CD proves he's doing just that.

I AM 1962
Contributed art
Inevitable classics such as "Blackbird" and the piano-driven majesty of "Hey Jude" sound great and give the listener a good feel for how McCartney sounds at his best. The first disc closes with an upbeat, rhythmic rendition of the George Harrison classic. "Something."
But with John Lennon long gone and George's death just over a year ago, there's something eerie about one of the original Beatles still filling arenas, and some tracks make this more strongly felt than others. For example, "Live and Let Die" sounds like a bad cover of the Guns N' Roses version, and, when the band performs "Getting Better," it's hard not to wonder if the crowd is cheering for the Beatles or for flatscreen televisions.
Still, it's hard to argue with something that makes this many people happy, and judging from the vigor of the band and the strength of McCartney's voice, he may easily be back again. Crowd noise and powerful sound understate the majesty of the whole affair, and there's something neat about the pictures of graying folks clapping along with children. But the most entertaining part of the album is the band's tour memories, which feature gushing praise such as this from guitar play Rusty Anderson:
"To hear a single A string ring out in the arena in tandem with Paul's voice resonating into every ear simultaneously ... is like loitering in the vortex of a recurring supernova as the energy saturates the collective consciousness, gets recycled back to us and mutates into the next wave exchange."
Wow. Back in the U.S. may not be the White Album, but for those who know what Rusty's talking about, it will make a great souvenir. Rock on, Sir Paul.
Lucas Wetzel
The Wallflowers, Red Letter Days, Interscope
Jakob Dylan and the boys of the Wallflowers (Rami Jaffee, Greg Richling and Mario Calire, but let's be honest, no one cares about them) have crafted another pop-rock favorite in Red Letter Days. This new album moves from silky, smooth almost-ballads to angry, snooty full-out rock 'n' roll jams. It's refreshingly different for those sick to death of the genre of the moment, garage rock. This type of album sounds familiar and comforting — the perfect product.
What separates the Wallflowers from other boring rock bands such as Creed or Matchbox 20 is Dylan's distinctive voice. Granted, it's not as distinctive as the elder Dylan's,rock legend Bob,but little Jakob's voice is what makes the 'Flower's new
a l b u m sparkle.
On the first single and album opener "When You're on Top," Dylan's voice is sing-along perfect. It

reminds the listener of all the chart toppers on the Wallflower's 1996 album, Bringing Down the Horse. Dylan's husky voice takes a turn on "Closer to You," sounding like a much cooler Harry Connick Jr. The best song on the album is the seductive "Health and Happiness," which sounds like a sexy love letter until Dylan sings the biting line, "I wish you health/I wish you happiness/and absolutely nothing else." Ouch.
In Red Letter Days, the Wallflowers aren't breaking new ground — it's more like they're treading on old territory, but that's OK. The album works and Dylan has never sounded better.

Snoop Dogg, Paid Tha Cost to be da Bo$$, Capitol Records
I usually don't invite myself into a review, but this is an exception. I am a white girl who doesn't watch "Doggy Fizzle Televizze," I haven't listened to Snoop Dogg since the days of Doggystyle and I don't subscribe to Snoop's line of Girls Gone Wild videos.
The 20-track album Paid the Cost to be da Bo$$ was too long to hold my attention span and far from what I most identify him with, Doggystyle. Most of the tracks on the new album are three to five minutes long
and slow. This is different from the early days when Snoop could dish out a catchy rap, keeping a listener interested and entertained. Now it just seems too slow, too mellow and too boring.
Most of the songs on Paid tha Cost to be da Bo$$ have a 1970s air about them. This album is an acid trip gone wrong. Snoop is still preaching to the choir about money, bitches, hos and talking trash, but something is different. Dr. Dre didn't produce it (Doggystyle), and Master P. didn't produce it (Top Dogg). The difference is, Snoop produced this album.
Maybe this is why he chose to use synthesizers and various other instruments. He features 17 artists such as Redman, Ludacris and Warren G on the album
Snoop Dogg
Contributed art
instead of sampling other artist's work. However, this concept doesn't seem to work for Snoop. It is an album full of 20 tracks with a repetition of four chords. The difference comes in that it is four different chords played in different ways.
Snoop, have you lost it? What happened to the days with Dr. Dre? What happened to the man "rollin" down the street smokin' indo sippin' on gin and juice?"
Maybe he should go back to smoking the chronic. This album lacks the creative genius fans are used to.

Hornby film 'Roger Dodger' investigates male irrelevance
Through seminal works such as Fever FILM SNOB
NEW STREET
Through seminal works such as Fever Pitch, High Fidelity and About a Boy, the London-based author and music critic Nick Hornby has cleverly and knowingly blown the lid off the mysteries of the male gender. Film adaptations of Hornby's novels hit the mark but there's a problem with the leads that inhibit the hero role. John Cusack in High Fidelity and Hugh Grant in About a Boy are cool and know their characters inside and out but they play similar roles in a lot of their movies. Despite the flaws in the Hornby leads and the way they are embodied by the actors, they're easy to pass off as characters that keep men from seeing too much of themselves.
James Owen
jowen@kansan.com
The new film Roger Dodger is set deep in Hornby territory but because of a small budget or because Hornby decided to be a co-producer, unknown Campbell Scott was chosen as the lead.
Scott plays Roger, a copywriter in Manhattan who loves talking about sex, life and himself. The opening shot of the film is a dizzying roundtable dinner discussion led by Roger, about why men are becoming irrelevant.
Roger says, "Thanks to sperm getting shot into eggs by a needle, the only thing (men) are good for is lifting couches. And someday, when telepathy overcomes gravity, then we will be totally useless even in that area."
The speech wins him applause at the table and almost from the audience. Roger spends the rest of the film attempting to prove his point about the irrelevance of men.
He doesn't so much talk as he hypothesizes about people and then uses the conversation to formulate a theory. This is his strategy with women, anyway, and we see it received with varying results. He can get into bed with his boss (Isabella Rossellini), but his attempts to explain to a woman that an older man won't make up for her father's inattention has predictable results. We know Roger has sex but we never see it. The film establishes early that words, not action, will be the focus.
Of course, a film where the main character has to make points and theorize needs an audience implant in order for it to work. We get Nick (Jesse Eisenberg), Roger's nephew from Ohio. Nick is only 16 and explains that he is in town to tour Columbia. But there's something else on his mind as well. Dad has just left, much to Roger's shock, because Nick has some pretty touchy questions about girls, women, sex, and so on. Well, this is Roger's territory, so

he decides to get Nick some hands-on experience.
They end up at a bar where they pick up two young professionals (Jennifer Beals and Elizabeth Berkley) who tell Nick about sex from a woman's perspective. Roger and Nick then hop to a rather awkward party where things get slightly out of hand for everyone involved.
Campbell Scott makes a great Hornby man, especially because this is not really a Hornby story. But he is so self-aware that he possesses little cool or charm. Scott acts more like a guy because he has no movie-star looks or bravado to hang on. He uses his talking and his theories as a defense mechanism. Indeed, Roger's attitude and style are so defensive that director Dylan Kidd films Roger's actions as though he were documenting guerrilla warfare. The title refers to his nickname as a child because "he could always talk his way out of being caught."
While the audience laughs at Roger's ideas and sees some purpose to a few of the lessons, they also recognize him as pitiful. Nick, with his young age and inexperience, is able to sift through Roger's B.S. and extract tactics that are actually useful.
The Nick Hornby archetype is not a perfect fit because there are also moments of Richard Linklater and the best of Whit Stillman as well. But Roger Dodger doesn't incorporate pop culture and doesn't try to enhance its stature by using Gen X icons in the role. There's nothing wrong with that, but this film has a vulnerability and an accessibility that Hornby's books have in spades. Perhaps by necessity, that got lost in the film version of those stories.
Roger Dodger relies on its wit and the insecurity of men. Either way, it is a sometimes funny and a sometimes sad look at the way John Cusack and Hugh Grant wannabes function in our "talk more, act less" society.

Shaw comedy entertains, brings characters to life
In 1897, George Bernard Shaw wrote You Never Can Tell to prove that he was capable of writing light, witty comedies. The purpose of the show was to entertain and entertain it does.
You Never Can Tell, presented by the University Theatre, focuses on a broken family much like Shaw's own. Mrs. Clandon, an independent modern woman, left her alcoholic husband after realizing that their marriage was a mistake. Taking their three children with her, she set off to find a career as a writer of treatises on the 20th century.
The play opens with the family on holiday in the seaside resort town of Torbay in Devon. After having a tooth pulled, Miss Dorothy "Dolly" Clandon invites the young dentist Mr. Valentine to lunch. Dolly and her brother Phil also invite Valentine's landlord, Mr. Crampton.
It is discovered that Crampton is in fact Mrs. Clandon's husband. He is dismayed at the upbringing of his two younger children, who are unabashed in their dealings with others. Cramton is also upset that his eldest daughter, Miss Gloria, is to follow in her mother's footsteps as a modern woman.
In the course of it all, Miss Gloria and Valentine fall in and out of love with each other, ultimately deciding to get married.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL
George Bernard Shaw's You Never Can Tell will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5-7 in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre. The play is directed by John Staniunas, associate professor of theater and film.
life. Staniunas said he saw Shaw's writing as a type of bell jar preserving the characters in time.
Kelly Mengelkoch, Wichita senior, and Matt Greer, Tulsa, Okla., junior, stand out as Dolly and Phillip. They portray the characters with the broad humor and fast pace that the roles deserve, without resorting to slapstick or over-the-top acting.
Playing the Clandons' crotchety father, Jeffery Thomas Gockel, Overland Park freshman, does a remarkable job as Mr. Crampton. However, he appears to be unsure at times of his next move, something that also stood out in his performance as Thurio in The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
The theater's production of You Never Can Tell has the added bonus of a Shaw scholar working behind the scenes, as well as on the stage. Dean Bevan, emeritus professor of English from Baker University, put his nearly 50 years of experience studying Shaw as the production's dramaturge, or an adapter of plays. Bevan also plays the Waiter, who proves through his wit that he is the equal of the society members he serves. Bevan does a fine job, although his overemphasis of words, such as "sir" or the play's title, proves to be slightly grating.
Staniunas' concept of the bell jar has been carried over into a beautiful set by Delbert Unruh, professor of theater and film. At the center of the stage is a gazebo, shaped like a bell jar. Each of the three sides of the revolving set resembles displays inside of bell jars.
Aside from a few dull moments where Shaw obviously tried to interject a greater social message, You Never Can Tell is a light, witty comedy. Fast paced jokes, repartees, and oddball characters combine to create a night of entertainment.

Alternative break office annoyed with questions about Matchbox 20

Jared Buffalo, Springfield, Mo., freshman, rocks out in his dorm while playing a cover version of "Closing Time" by Semisonic. Buffalo would have auditioned with the song to go on Alternative Break before he learned that the program had nothing to do with a particular brand of angst-filled '90s music.

"You wouldn't believe how many calls we get a day about Matchbox 20," says co-director Michael Payne. "There are so many people that think we're some kind of alternative music outlet. We just want to set the record straight once and for all. No, we do not know Jakob Dylan. No, we don't sell Smashing Pumpkins merchandise. And never have we endorsed Marcy Playground, or anything they stand for. We are simply an organization that lets students give back to the world through challenging work in a time others would use for leisure."
In an effort to curb wild rumors and misconceptions of what Alternative Breaks are all about, the Alternative Break office is spreading the word of what they are — and aren't — about.
By questioning random students on campus, the Tongue in Beak investigative staff has gotten a good feel for just what is in these students' heads.
"I was thinking about doing it," said Senior Gillete Stevens. "But now that I know that Third Eye Blind has nothing to do with this, I'm turned off. Why would I want to help people when I could be rockin' hard to such timeless classics as 'SemiCharmed Life' and 'Never let you go?' Alternative Break can suck it for all I care."
Fellow student Chip Sahoy agrees with Stevens. "Yeah, man, I went into their office and asked them about Garbage, and they started talking about how I could pick up trash in downtown Los Angeles," says Sahoy. "There was some major miscommunication going on there. I'm still not sure what they were talking about. Those people are nuts."
"These are the kinds of misconceptions that we've been facing every year," says the other co-director of Alternative Breaks, Jessi Mester. "But part of it is our fault. We're soon changing the botanical and music therapy program in Detroit from the name 'Soundgarden' to something else. Also, our 'See Bush' posters for the Save Desert Bushes program in Arizona needs to be changed too. People keep asking if this Gavin Rossdale guy is going to be there."
Students are invited to feel free to come into the Alternative Breaks office anytime to discuss possible trips, not music.
Kansas to compete in Basketweaving4profit.com Bowl
By Brandon Gay

Kansan satire writer
For Kansas head football coach Mark Mangino and the University of Kansas football team, 2002 was a year to forget. However, the team received some vindication for its hard work yesterday when it learned that its 2 non-conference victories and 0 conference wins had earned them a bowl game.
KU will bring its 2-10 overall season record to the Basketweaving4profit.com Bowl on December 28. The game, sponsored by Basketweaving4profit.com, is the brain child of Lawrence businessman Herb Wegner. Basketweaving4profit.com sells basket-weaving supplies and offers
packages aimed at helping entrepreneurs get rich quick by working eight hours to 10 hours a week weaving baskets.
This year's bowl schedule will feature all 117 Division I-A teams competing in 59 games. What may seem like a mathematical impossibility will be fixed by Baylor playing itself in the first ever Microsoft Solitaire Bowl on Christmas Day. Microsoft projects it will be sponsoring virtually all college bowl games by 2007.
"I'd always wanted to host a bowl game and see my beloved Jayhawks play in it," Wegner said. "I was worried that maybe other bowl would snap the Jayhawks up, but not so much since the start of the season."
"Everyone has been telling me I'm contributing to the trend of too many bowl games and the commercialization of bowls," Wegner said. "But, I don't buy it. There aren't too many bowl games. The real problem is we have a shortage of Division I-A football teams in this country. We need more teams to support all these fine new bowls."
Other bowl games this year include the Murine Ear Wax Removal System Bowl, the Kroger Bowl, the Hobby Lobby Bowl, the Spamburger Hamburger Bowl, the Wisconsin Cheese By-Product Bowl and The AI Bohl, sponsored by KU director of athletics, Al Bohl.

Women's basketball team to be all Swedish
By Joe Stephenson
beak@kansan.com
Kansan satire writer
The University of Kansas Athletics Department has made a bold move to increase attendance at women's basketball games—an all Swedish squad.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director made the announcement yesterday at a banquet with KU alumni.
"We were having a meeting last week brainstorming ideas to get better attendance at the women's games. During the meeting, we realized that there is a Swedish player on the team getting a lot of attention. Well, if one Swedish player can get us a little attention, imagine what a whole team of Swedish women can do. Frankly, the thought makes me tingly inside," Bohl said before walking off stage and lighting up a cigarette.
Some students, mostly female, don't see the merit in an all-Swedish basketball team. Allison West, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore, is skeptical, "So what if they are all Swedish? All a Swedish team is going to do is get more depraved males to come watch the games."
On campus, the reaction to the new all-Swedish team has been mostly positive. Robert Shue, El Dorado senior, likes the idea of a team of Swedish women, "Oh man, that would be so awesome. A team of Swedish women; that only happens in beer commercials (editor's note: there are many teams of Swedish women, in various sports, in Sweden). Swedish women are, like, so cool."
Bohl said changes were in store so that there would be an authentic Swedish style.
The Swedish player to which Bohl is referring is junior Leila Menguc. Menguc has been the subject of articles in the University Daily Kansan and has been quoted in almost all of the articles covering the women's basketball team.
"In keeping with Swedish customs, we are no longer going to use the name 'KU Women's Basketball Team.' Instead, we are trying to think of an acronym. Preferably something with two As in a row. Something like KUWAABT, for KU Women's Athletic Achievers Basketball Team. We're still working on it though, because we really want some umlauts in there."
Shue admitted he did not know any Swedish women personally, but still stands by his statement that they are "so cool."
Other changes include playing ABBA and Ace of Base songs and serving pickled fish.

The duality of dealing pot: students experience thrills and consequences of marijuana culture

Andy Watson's life changed suddenly one hot summer day in 1999.

Panel crunches budget woes
By Molly Gise

Lee joined nine others yesterday in a roundtable discussion about the budget crisis in Kansas. About 40 people attended the forum, which was held in Topeka
"Not enough money is the problem,' said Lee, D-Kensington. "The revenue has taken a turn south."
State Sen. Janis Lee summed up the challenge for incoming and returning lawmakers in Kansas.
Fixing the budget was easy without taking the details into account, Goossen said.
Included in the panel was Duane Goossen, the state budget director.
"It's not hard to balance the budget by just running numbers," Goosniss said. "But that doesn't tell you anything about

what's left over."
Sen. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, said figuring out what to do next involved looking back at what caused the projected state deficit of about $310 million. The state has outspent its budget for too long, he said.

"This year, we hit a brick wall," he said.
Jim McLeanCQ, managing editor from the Topeka Capital-Journalcriticized the state's budget history. The state relied too much on extra money during roster economic times, he said. McLean was one of two journalists on the panel.
"You all knew collectively that you were bringing in money that was temporary at best," McLean said. "Now that money has run out but the responsibility of the budget is still there."
Legislators now have the task of reviewing state programs and deciding what services and programs are of the most value to Kansans, said Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood.
"We need this kind of shake-out period every once in a while," Vratil said.
Lee said deciding what needed to be shook out or cut was precisely the challenge, especially when presenting ideas

Wage increase spurs struggle
By Caleb Nothwehr
nothwehr@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In an effort to bump the University minimum wage to $6 an hour, administrators are encouraging some organizations to pay for the increase out of their own pockets.
While some student-hourly positions will receive raises through the tuition increase, groups such as Student Senate have to pay for the wage increases with their own already allocated funds.
It's turning into a power struggle.
Members of Student Senate don't want to fund the wage increases, and they don't think the University can make them.
"No outside body can tell us what to do with the money we receive," Student Body President Jonathan Ng said. "They can only make a recommendation. Nothing more."
Linda Mullens, associate vice provost for student supports, said the University does have the power to institute the increase throughout the entire University, including Student Senate.
"The spirit of the proposal is to help the student employees," Mullens said. "We all know $5.15 is not a whole lot of money. That doesn't go very far," she said.
Administrators are specifically concerned with two student-hourly positions, paid for with student fees, that are not making $6 an hour: one within the Student Legislative Awareness Board and another in the Alternative Breaks office.
Administrators are also encouraging Senate to make 50 cents per hour pay increases for positions that are already
making $6 an hour.
Senate has already taken measures to ward off the wage increase.
During Wednesday's Student Senate meeting, the body rejected a piece of legislation that would have increased Senate executive staff wages through Senate reserve account monies. Senate ruled the bill out of order because money from the reserve account must be used to benefit a large number of students.
Karen Keith, holdover senator and Tulaa, Okla, senior, said she was against using student money to increase the student-hourly wages. Keith said, if the administration does mandate a wage increase, Senate should make the changes after a review of money already allocated for the spring semester.
"Most people are in favor of student hourly wage increases, but there's division over how it happens," Keith said.
Senate Treasurer Ryan Evans, Great Bend senior, said the next step was to inform administrators about Senate's decision Wednesday night.
One option student senators are considering is making the pay increase with money already allocated for the students' salaries. But that could lead to problems at the end of the school year.
"Another good possibility is that we'll enact the pay raise and run out of money two weeks before school is out," said Blake Shuart, assistant treasurer for Senate and Topeka junior.
Other organizations that have to pay for the wage increase from their own funds are the departments of student housing and recreation services.

CLAS closes offices for graduate division
The services provided by the office's two employees will be transferred to the Graduate School, individual departments and the dean's office, Wilcox said.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is closing its graduate division, effective next summer, Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts, said yesterday.
He said graduate services handled by other areas.
"There's a role for the departments, and there's a role for the Graduate School." Wilcox said.
According to its Web site, the CLAS graduate division certifies students for graduation, keeps records and monitors the progress of approximately 1,800 graduate students.
The reorganization ultimately will clarify the roles of the Graduate School and the college in handling graduate issues.
The graduate division will officially close in July 2003.
Although the college, like other schools at KU, has been asked for ways to trim its spending. Wilcox said the closing of the graduate division is an organizational change, not a cost-cutting measure.
He said no services would be lost in the transition and graduate students could expect little change overall.
"The problem is graduate students don't know about it yet," Johnson said. "It was done without our knowledge."
The change, announced Wednesday, may surprise many graduate students, which concerns Michael Johnson, graduate student and graduate teaching assistant in the department of Slavic languages and literature.
Johnson, a graduate student senator, said he heard about the closing of the graduate division through rumors.
"The way it's being done is not good," he said. "It should have been done in a much more open manner."
Wilcox said it was not surprising that graduate students didn't know about the change yet because he just announced it Wednesday. He sent the department letters yesterday that described the reorganization..
Jamel Bell, a graduate student and GTA in communications, said she heard rumors about the liberal arts and sciences graduate division closing.
She said she didn't think graduate services would suffer and that Wilcox has the best interests of graduate students in mind.
"I'm sure he'll make sure the students don't miss out," Bell said. "They'll find some way to still be sure that graduate students benefit from the services that were being offered."
The CLAS graduate division employs one full-time staff member and one part-time staff member. Wilcox wouldn't comment on what would happen to those people after the office closed.
"We're going to be working hard to find positions for both people," he said.

Maximum sentence given to pharmacist
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A federal judge sentenced former pharmacist Robert R. Courtney to the maximum 30 years in prison yesterday, ending the year and a half-long saga of his scheme to dilute cancer drugs for profit.
Courtney, who earlier expressed remorse for his actions, showed no emotion as the judge announced his sentence that also called for him to pay $10.4 million in restitution and a $25,000 fine.
"I have committed a terrible crime that I deeply and severely regret," Courtney told the court in soft, shaky voice before receiving his punishment. "I wish I could change everything."
In a stern statement, U.S. District Judge Ortie Smith told Courtney that he alone had changed the way Americans thought.
"Mr. Courtney your crimes are a shock to the civilized conscience," the judge said. "They are beyond understanding. I believe you when you say that you don't understand them."
Snow and ice storm ravages eastern part of United States
NATION
Millions of people shivered without electricity yesterday in the Carolinas as one of the worst ice and snowstorms in years snapped tree limbs, snarled air travel around the country and kept children home from school in a large part of the East.
At least 18 deaths have been blamed on the storm since it blew across the southern Plains earlier in the week. Up to a foot of snow fell in places from New Mexico to North Carolina.
"It's horrible out there," said Errol Carter, a lawyer from Edison, N.J. "I live less than 10 minutes from the train station, and I almost got in two accidents on the way there."
Schools closed in parts of the Carolinas, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Hussein encourages weapons inspections
BAGHDAD, Iraq — President Saddam Hussein urged the Iraqi people yesterday to support the new U.N. arms inspections as a welcome opportunity to disprove American allegations that his government still harbors weapons of mass destruction.
The White House quickly rejected those claims. President Bush, asked yesterday if the United States was headed toward war, replied: "That's a question you should ask to Saddam Hussein."
Hussein said he agreed to the inspections, in which one of his own palaces was searched, "to keep our people out of harm's way" in the face of U.S. threats.
The Iraqi president's remarks contrasted sharply with a vice president's harsh words about the inspections late Wednesday.
He denounced an "unjust, arrogant, debased American tyranny." Then, turning to U.S. allegations that Iraq retains chemical and biological weapons, he said Iraqis wanted to disprove those claims after a four-year absence of U.N. weapons inspectors from their country.

Small plane crashes into side of Miami building, killing pilot
MIAMI — A small plane crashed into the Federal Reserve Bank Building last night, killing the pilot, authorities said. No one inside the building was injured.
"We have no information that it was an intentional crash," said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown in Washington. "It appears to be an accident."
More than 100 people were attending a holiday party in the one-story building when the aircraft slammed into the northeast side of the bank, exploded and burst into flames. The building also
houses the Miami bureau of The Associated Press.
Based on communications between the pilot and air traffic controllers, Brown said, the FAA believes the plane was coming from Marathon in the Florida Keys and traveling to New Smyrna Beach on Florida's central east coast.
Another FAA spokeswoman, Kathleen Bergen, called the plane a single-engine aircraft, likely a home-built experimental aircraft.
An FBI agent assigned to Miami International Airport was en route to
the accident and the agency was keeping in close contact with investigators, said FBI Miami spokeswoman Judy Orihuela.
The building is about three miles west of the airport.
Some windows were broken but there appeared to be no structural damage.
The bank building is just north of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees U.S. military activities in 32 nations and 12 dependencies in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Top administrators busy but available
By Molly Gise
mgise@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
They're those seemingly untouchable men and women in suits who fall under the vague category of "administrators."
But Strong Hall is no ivory tower, and this group of people, which includes top-level administrators such as the chancellor, is available to meet with students — if they're willing to wait for an appointment.
Gay Clock, secretary to Robert Hemenway, said students regularly make appointments to see the chancellor.
"It's not always the next day, of course," Clock said. "That's the hard part. We do try to get them in if there's a need."
Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said he frequently met with students, most of whom were in leadership roles, such as student senate positions, within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Like the chancellor, any student can make an appointment to meet with Wilcox. He said his door, like most administrators', was always open.
"The problem is most of those doors are pretty busy," Wilcox said.
Students can expect to wait up to two weeks for an open spot in the calendars of certain administrators like Hemenway or Wilcox. For that reason, Clock said she usually tried to
find someone who could more directly address a student's question.
Administrators such as Richard Johnson, dean of students, regularly set time aside to speak to students.
At 1 p.m. every Wednesday Johnson sits at a table on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union for an hour with Student Body President Jonathan Ng. During this time, students can stop by and ask questions.
Wilcox said discussions between students and administrators could be mutually beneficial, especially when both parties had a common interest or goal.
Maggie Beedles, Lawrence senior, is the co-director of the Center for Community Outreach and a CLAS senator. She has met with Wilcox several times.
She said she was impressed with his willingness to meet with student groups.
"He met with us after his business hours at Yello Sub, definitely after the time he is typically supposed to be home," Beedles said.
Like Wilcox, Beedles said students and administrators could interact and learn from each other, when there is an opportunity to meet.
"If you find a way to access them, usually progress is made, and you make a change for the positive," she said.

Elizabeth Kelsey, Springfield, Mo., freshman, has participated in four races in her life. She said her motivation to compete has been fun rather than competition.
John Nowak/Kansan
Every face in the crowd and every name in the phone book has a story behind it. Each week, Kansan writer Vonna Keomanyvong tells the story of a randomly selected KU student.
Elizabeth Kelsey runs in races, but she is in no rush to win. For her, the rush comes from the run itself.
For the Springfield, Mo., freshman, running is a huge part of her life. She loves it so much that when she has time, she enters herself in races, she said.
Elizabeth has competed in four races since she has been at KU, including "Turkey Trot," a 3.1- mile course held last week in Lawrence. Although she has not won a race, she placed third in her age division two months ago at the "Chili Pepper Cross Country Festival," a 6.2-mile race in Arkansas.
"I don't expect to do very well at these races because I don't train as hard as the people who enter," Elizabeth said. "I want to do well but I don't care. I just love running."
"It relaxes me," Elizabeth said. "It gives me time to think and it
Her love for running began in the fifth grade when she played basketball in Amateur Athletic Union, a sports organization. She continued playing basketball through high school. During her senior year, she ran cross country.
also keeps me in shape," she said.
Her sister, Kathleen Kelsey, said Elizabeth was always a good runner. Elizabeth made it to Missouri sectionals, the race before state finals, for cross country.
"It was a big surprise that she made it because she had never run before," she said.
Kathleen said her sister did not make it to state because of an injury.
Although running is a hobby, it is also Elizabeth's only way of transportation. She ran as far as two miles to pick up film at the Wal-Mart at 3300 Iowa Street.
"I would never walk to WalMart because it takes too long,"
she said, "It's like double-tasking. I can run and get my things at the same time."
Kendall Novick, Houston, Texas, freshman, occasionally runs with Elizabeth. She said Elizabeth was a good partner.
"She never thinks of it as a chore," she said. "When I get tired, she'll talk to me and she kicks my butt sometimes. I get a good workout when I run with her."
Although Elizabeth does not run every day, when she does run, she averages about six miles.
To help figure out how far she runs, Elizabeth calculated the distances from her dorm to places
such as Iowa, Kasold and Massachusetts streets, using a bus map of Lawrence. She said she looked at the scale at the bottom of the map to see how many inches of the map equaled a mile.
"I just like to know how far I've been running," Elizabeth said. "If I turn on certain streets, I'll know how long it is."
Elizabeth said she hoped to run the Chicago marathon, a 26.2-mile course, one day.
"It's a huge race," she said. "It's more exciting when you run shoulder to shoulder with a lot of people. It just sounds cool."

Holiday Vespers to provide audience with plethora of performances

but in Lawrence.
The Fine Arts department will ring in the holidays with its annual Holiday Vespers concert at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Dec. 8, at the Lied Center.
John Paul Johnson, director of choral activities, said the concert had a long standing tradition not just at the University of Kansas
"It's the 78th year that we're having the concert and Lawrence is known for its choir music scene," Johnson said. "Before I came here, colleagues who went to KU would also talk about how great the concerts were. Choir music means a lot to this community."
More than 240 students and faculty will perform other countries' and religions' songs such as
"Ose Shalom (2002)," "Bethelehemu" and traditional songs such as "We Three Kings" and "Jingle Bell Rock."
The concert will also include music written by KU faculty.
Charles Hoag, professor of music and dance, wrote a piece called "Gracious Creator," which will be performed for the first time at the concert.
"Vespers brings out different people," Hoag said. "There is
something special about it. It's just a University wide thing that warms people."
Although tickets for the matinee performance sold out, Lied Center officials said 75 tickets were still left for the evening show.
The concert normally brings in more than 3,000 people, Johnson said.
Lauren Jones, Wichita freshman, said she bought tickets for
ner family last month to ensure that they had seats. Jones, who sings alto in the Concert Choir, said students who were involved in the concert told her the show was a big deal.
"I was a little worried I wouldn't get tickets," Jones said. "I bought the last three tickets that were together for the 2:30 p.m. show. I was like 'Wow, there are going to be a lot of people there.'"
Admission is $12.50 for seats in the orchestra floor and first balcony, and $10 for seats in the second balcony.
Students and faculty who miss the concert can hear it on KANU 91.5, Lawrence's public radio station. The station will air a recording of the concert at 6 p.m. Dec. 20 and will replay it at 2 p.m. Dec. 24 and 9 a.m. Dec. 25.

It must have been on Al-Jazeera TV because there's no way that many Afghan people died in the bombings. We have these nifty little contraptions known as smart bombs now. I wonder how many people died for exposing their ankles or listening to music over the past 20 years under the Taliban regime. If you ask them, I'm sure they're quite thankful to us for freeing them from oppression.

Meat eaters beware: the flavor of meat doesn't outweigh risks
GUEST COMMENTARY
I love beef. There's nothing better than a thick, juicy steak slathered in A-1 Steak Sauce. The trouble is I don't consume beef, or any kind of animal products, anymore.
I know, you think I'm trying to save the animals or tout some other glorious animal rights crusade. Actually, I'm just trying to avoid getting sick.
TOM MCCARTHY
On Monday, The University Daily Kansan ran a story about Michael Greger, a doctor who spoke about the dangers of eating meat.
Greger spoke mainly about the possibility of contracting Creurtsfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), also known as "mad cow disease."
Patrick Ross opinion@hansan.com
He told students the way cows are raised in the U.S.is dangerous.
This assertion is backed up by Eric Schlosser in his book, Fast Food Nation.
According to the book, 85 percent of all beef in the U.S. is processed and包装ed by huge corporations that either raise cows on huge corporate farms or lease them to farmers to raise until they're ripe for the slaughter.
Nowadays, corporate cows are fed a steady diet of corn that has been enriched with such yummy things as pork and chicken byproducts (read: animal goo). This fattens them up much quicker than allowing them to graze languorously upon fields of green grass.
The problem, though, is that cows are ruminants, animals that regurgitates their food and chews it several times.
Their stomachs were made to ingest grass and "ruminate" on it. They certainly weren't meant to digest animal proteins.
This is were the danger from vCJD comes in. According to a story on the Ameican Medical Association's Web site, www.amaassn.org/ama/pub/category/4207.htm l, when cow's stomachs are forced to digest this "meaty" corn, the pH level of the stomach changes and becomes more acidic in response to the new type of food.
Because of the increased acidity the protein, called a prion, that causes vCJD becomes more resistant to stomach acids, those of humans as well as cows.
The American Medical Association says that prions "cannot be detected before someone is infected, nor can
Extreme temperatures and radiation have nothing on this puppy.
Creurtsfeld-Jakob Disease destroys your brain over a period of months and this leads to death.
There is no cure.
Although there have been no reports of mad cow disease in the U.S., this doesn't mean U.S. beef is safe.
As Greger pointed out in the Kansan, cows in the U.S. are fed the same sort of food (the animal goo I mentioned before) that put cows in Europe at risk. In addition, the AMA said vCJD can remain dormant, and undetectable, for some time. There could be people who have it in the U.S. and just don't know it.
As if prions weren't bad enough, enter E. coli. E. coli is also transferred to humans through animal meat, usually meat that hasn't been cooked long enough.
It has symptoms including bloody diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps and skin rash, to name a few.
So call me a raving hippie call me what you will, but until animal products are safely processed, I'll be having the Boca Burger with soy cheese and a cold glass of water.

Christmas shopping season has world-wide consequences
The Christmas Season has surfaced again. But I think this year, these holidays, for all their travel and relaxed break time, are special.
I think this year, during Christmas, we can't help but think about a new kind of reality behind our current state as University of Kansas students and Americans.
One contemporary novelist, Jonathan Franzen, put what I'm trying to say well, borrowing the title of Aldous Huxley's popular work, Brave New World. He said that as 21st century Americans we live in something more akin to a "brave new McWorld." This obviously points to ubiquitous
American commerce.
Despite the rampant, mindless slamming of the Christmas holidays for all the superficial scrambling after Tickle-Me Elmo dolls and hoards of electronics, commerce and Christmas have a certain inevitability, just like our country and its founding capitalism.
Criticizing American commerce seems to me like harping on Christians for still preaching the gospels.
GUEST COMMENTARY
GOLOST COMMUNITY
Sean Pauzauskie opinion@kansan.com
Is it any surprise that our national motto rings during the holidays like it does for the 364 other days: Get Stuff!
However, it seems to me that while we as students can see the "brave new McWorld" for its intensifying materialistic nature, we're also faced with the
unique challenge of making our way into it.
Our new challenge is realizing that the consequences of the holiday buying boom reach far beyond wads of wrapping paper and American holiday spirit.
Mainly, despite our president's abundant rhetoric about freedom, our
I love Christmas and I think every one should love their winter holiday.
Don't get me wrong I think the holiday season should mostly make that psychology professor's unnecessarily long and boring final a distant memory. However, this year, as our country's talk of war grows more prevalent (Sadham has until Dec. to declare all Iraqi weapons), so should our knowledge of what this war would mean and the underlying jealousy that so many countries have for the present-fraught season we are about to enjoy.
current enemies hate us for our economic superiority. Using moral superiority as justification for violence, our enemies give our Christmas obsession with stuff a new kind of meaning.
However, I also believe that knowing our enemies will make us more apt to deal with them, and I hope our leaders make prudent decisions based on the knowledge that we should fight a war on foreign poverty first if we wish to fight a war on terrorism.
As students,becoming more powerful in the "Brave New McWorld" will mean becoming more informed of its issues and causes.
I urge everyone to give this smaller 21st century world some thought over our long holiday break. We'll all be better off for your efforts.

"Selling pot is wrong because of that very moment. There's nothing that's worth that feeling of anguish." Watson said. "It's the worst feeling in the world.
It's emasculating - you feel totally helpless and hopeless."
He was 19 and about to begin his junior year at the University of Kansas.
Authorities took Watson to the sheriff's office and interrogated him. After spending the night in jail, he returned to his apartment - wrecked by a thorough police search.
"They destroyed my apartment. They ripped it up," he said.
The police confiscated about three-quarters of a pound of marijuana and about $800 in cash. Although that was only a fraction of the pot Watson sold and the money he made during the spring of 1999, he said his lifestyle as a pot dealer didn't add up.
"There's no compensation for getting busted, regardless of how much money you're going to make and what scale you're doing it on," he said. "There's just no reason to sell pot, period.
use may be higher than national trends. The town's college atmosphere, which includes KU students and faculty as well as students from Baker and Haskell universities, affected marijuana use, said Sgt. Tarik Khatib of the Lawrence Police Department.
"I think the demand is pretty high," said Khatib, head of the Douglas County Drug Enforcement Unit, a task force of officers from the police and sheriff's departments. "Part of that is there is a very diverse culture - you have a lot of college students from across the country and from around the world."
This cultural diversity mirrors the town's ideological diversity, Khatib said.
"It's a more open, free-thinking town," he said. "And I think that attracts people who are more willing to use drugs."
The task force focuses on drug dealers who have a large influence on the local drug culture, Khatib said.
In 2000 and 2001, a total of 38 people were reported for felony drug violations, involving depressants, stimulants, steroids or hallucinogens, which includes marijuana, according to lawrencepolice.org. In 2002, 23 similar reports were recorded by
Watson said he didn't intend to become a pot dealer when he started his sophomore year at KU in the fall of 1998. At the time, he said, he was only getting enough pot for himself and his friends. But by the spring semester, a clientele emerged as friends of friends started buying from him.
"I was never really trying to make money. It just happened, honestly." Watson said. "It went from getting a half-pound and having it for a week or longer to getting a pound, vanishing in an afternoon."
A pound of marijuana cost Watson about $800 and could be sold for a profit of $400 to $600, he said. Although he wouldn't say exactly how much money he made, he admitted it amounted to several thousands of dollars. He said he spent most of his money on kind bud for himself, marijuana with a higher percentage of THC than the average, low-grade pot he sold. THC is the chemical in marijuana that triggers the high. He also bought expensive cognac, Grateful Dead CDs by the score, organic food and paid for a spring break vacation in the Southwest.
"Marijuana is the most readily available and widely used illicit drug in the United States," he said. "The same holds true for Kansas."
"There's certainly quite a bit of marijuana in town," Dunbar said. "And I don't think people have to go to Kansas City to get it."
Kirk Thompson, assistant director for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, said pot was the preferred drug locally and nationally.
Sgt. Tarik Khatib of the Lawrence Police Department said, "If you're 18, 19 and you're going to school and you don't know what you're going to do with your life yet, and you've got a felony on your record now, guess what — you no longer have the choice to really figure out what you want to do. A felony is going to limit what you can do, you can't be a lawyer, you can't be an architect, there's just a ton of things you can't do."

In many respects, Watson's experiences are typical of other pot dealers in Lawrence because he was young and had no criminal history before his arrest, said Dan Dunbar, assistant district attorney for Douglas County.
Fat City
"I would say that most of my felony cases in some way are related to students or people that age - typically the 18 to 25 crowd." Dunbar said.
But in Lawrence, mariuana
He said most of the marijuana cases he prosecuted involved people who were caught and charged with the sale of no more than two ounces of pot. Dunbar, whose primary responsibility has been prosecuting felony drug cases since he began working with the county in 1995, said pot and ecstasy were usually the two drugs of choice for local college students.
I am an artist and a teacher. I love to paint and teach. I am also a musician. I love to play the piano and guitar. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love to play the violin. I love to play the trumpet. I love to play the clarinet. I love to play the bassoon. I love to play the harp. I love to play the saxophone. I love to play the flute. I love to play the oboe. I love to play the clarinet. I love to play the bassoon. I love to play the harp. I love to play the saxophone. I love to play the flute. I love to play the oboe.
Aug. 1. Khaib said about 90 percent of those cases involved dealing marijuana.
Watson said he began smoking pot on a daily basis during his junior year in high school and became acquainted with members of the pot culture in Wichita. With these connections, Watson began pooling money with his friends to buy an ounce or two of pot to save money.
Watson came to KU in the fall of 1997. He was a graduate of Andover High School near Wichita, where he served as editor of the school newspaper, president of the debate team and president of his senior class. He also played on Andover's cross country, soccer, baseball and basketball teams.
Back in the Day
Former pot dealer and KU student Andy Watson said, "I never saw myself as a drug dealer. I saw myself as someone who was helping others smoke pot. It's a dumb idea, but it's not a morally bad thing to do – it's dumb because it's illegal. It doesn't make you a bad person, and it doesn't hurt anyone."
"I think that's how it starts for anybody who's going to sell pot," he said. "They realize that all of a sudden that they could start making money at it if they just got a little more."
Despite Watson's expensive tastes, he said he exclusively sold pot and would not sell other, more lucrative drugs such as cocaine.
Khatib said pot smokers became dealers for two reasons.
"One, I think they get tired of paying for it and decide to sell it to offset what they consume themselves," he said. "Quite honestly, the other one would be money - people want to make money with it."
"I didn't approve of doing those types of drugs," Watson said.
He said he thought the situation of exploitation and dependency were more intense with cocaine users with pot smokers.
Pyramid Scheme
"If I'm your supplier and have five or six people under me, I can exercise power over those people," Khatib said. "I'm their source, so they have to come to me."
However, dealers from all walks of the drug trade often feel empowered because of the clout they have over people who buy their drugs, Khatib said.
He was majoring in sociology and was a full-time student during the spring of 1999.
Despite such distractions, dealing pot did not compromise Watson's studies.
He said he almost never missed his favorite classes that semester and earned his best grades to date.
Another former pot dealer called Jack, who would only speak if his real name was not revealed, said selling pot actually helped his grades. The illegitimate income meant he didn't have to juggle a busy work schedule with his studies.
"A lot of people have to have jobs and might have a test the next day, which they'll have little time to study for," said Jack, who grew up in the Kansas City area and began attending KU in Fall 1997. "Focusing on school is a lot easier when you have money."
Watson and Jack agreed that selling pot could raise questions about who your friends really were.
Bitter and Sweet
"You wonder if they want to be friendly with you so that they could get a good deal or because they're friendly and they're just cool people," Jack said about his customers.
"It's all very business-like and superficial," Watson said. "It's very fleeting, and it's difficult to establish what you'd call any real trust with someone because of how your relationship works with them."
Still, Watson said, he wasn't worried about getting arrested because he didn't sell pot to anyone who seemed to have a hidden agenda. He talked carefully over the telephone in case authorities were listening and tried to keep a low profile in public.
Although Watson thought he was too low-key for authorities to care about his business, his life as a pot dealer ended on June 28, 1999. One of Watson's customers had been arrested and agreed to set him up.
"I know or knew so many more people that were doing so much more than I was," Watson said. "I just couldn't imagine that I would be worth anyone's time."
When he returned to his apartment after spending the night in jail, a woman from the Kansas department of revenue was waiting for him.
She was there to confiscate his possessions to pay for marijuana taxes he owed to the state.
Watson told her which items were his and watched her take nearly all of his belongings, including a hand-made knife his grandfather used in the Korean War.
"He died before I was born," Watson said. "I never met the guy – I don't have anything of his."
Jack's friends sometimes criti
cized him for being too overt about selling pot, he said. But Jack was luckier than Watson - he never got caught dealing pot and to this day has a clean record. His clientele graduated and moved out of town, ending his lifestyle as a student pot dealer.
"I knew it had to go sometime," he said. "You can't live it forever."
Jack graduated from KU in December 2001 and attends graduate school elsewhere.
All in all, Jack said he enjoyed his experiences as a pot dealer.
"I had a pretty good ride," he said. "It allowed me to live a life like my parents did, and I was just in college."
End of the Line
In August 2001, only two weeks before his statue of limitations expired, the district attorney prepared to prosecute Watson - less than three months after he graduated. Dunbar said anyone convicted of intent to sell or distribute marijuana was subject to imprisonment.
Although Dunbar said pot use might not be as harmful as other illicit drugs, he warned about the risks of selling it.
"I think most people take it pretty lightly - it's marijuana; it's not meth; it's not crack. What's the harm?" he said. "But when you get to that selling stage, you're obviously into it for that monetary benefit or smoking enough to try to get free dope."
Dunbar and Watson's attorney agreed to a plea bargain, reducing his seven felony charges to two: intent to sell and sale of marijuana. He was also charged with misdemeanor possession and sentenced to a year of probation.
"It normalizes your life - the requirements on you are to be a steady, boring person," Watson said.
His father, Rick Watson, said he was not embarrassed by his son's conviction but worried about his future.
"I was concerned about how it would affect his record and how it could limit him for the rest of his life," the elder Watson said. "It doesn't seem that there's anything I can do about it. I can't call anyone and tell them what a good guy Andy is."
Probation required Watson to keep a job, work 40 hours a week, stay within the confines of the county unless he had special permission to leave, be subject to visits from his probation officer and attend drug counseling sessions.
After initial success with probation, Watson stumbled. Police pulled Watson's car over in the spring of 2002 because he was seen leaving a house under police surveillance, Watson said. Police searched his car and found about a gram of marijuana.
He had violated his probation.
A more intensive probation period of 30 days followed, Watson said, and his probation officer visited about four or five times and kept a closer watch on him.
In November, he was sentenced to another year of probation and had to serve 30 days in a work-release jail in Douglas County.
He spends his nights there and works full time for a finance company in Overland Park.
Although Watson is hopeful about his future, he regrets his past.
"I got arrested when I was 19 years old," he said. "I am 23 and going to be on probation until I'm 24. Tell me, is it worth it?"

"People in the same age group were a helpful source," said Jack, a former pot dealer. "It's not even like I was looking at these people like targets to make money. I thought I was helping them out, like,'Hey, I can help you out and make you $50.' "

Tension builds; House jobs shift
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The incoming House speaker has appointed a new Appropriations Committee chairman, replacing one of his rivals for the chamber's top job.
Speaker-designate Doug Mays also announced yesterday his other rival will be removed as Judiciary Committee chairman.
Rep. Kenny Wilk (R-Lansing), is out after two years of leading the Appropriations Committee, which drafts budget legislation. Rep. Melvin Neufeld (R-Ingalls), previously the vice chairman, will replace him.
The changes came three days after Republicans designated Mays as speaker over Wilk and Rep. Mike O'Neal (R-Hutchinson). With Republicans holding 80-45 margin, the full House is expected to
"Anything other than appropriations is arguably a step down."
Doug Mays House speaker-designate
ratify the decision when the Legislature convenes Jan. 13.
Replacing O'Neal as Judiciary Committee chairman is Rep. Ward Loyd (R-Garden City).
Mays named 19 committee chairmen yesterday. He eliminated three committees, E-Government, Fiscal Oversight and E-Government, all established in 2001 by outgoing Speaker Kent Glasscock (R-Manhattan).
Mays said O'Neal would serve as chairman of the Higher Education and work on special projects. He said Wilk would be chairman of the Economic Development.
Wilk said he accepted his new assignment because, "it's not like I have a lot of choice."
O'Neal was education chairman under Speaker Tim Shallenburger, then was moved to iudiciary by Glasscock.
Mays acknowledged that removing Wilk will be seen as a demotion. But he said he wasn't punishing him or O'Neal.
"Anything other than appropriations is arguably a step down," Mays said during an interview. "But I would argue that every speaker names their own appropriations chair."

Students profit from selling their artwork
Instead of cruising the mall for her mom's Christmas gift, Keena Tarrant chose to shop for gifts at the KU Print Club and KU Ceramics club annual holiday sale.
The sale was held at the main gallery in the Art and Design Building, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. yesterday. Students, faculty and guest artists sold their work, which varied from lithograph and intaglio prints to all types of ceramics. Intaglio prints are designs carved deeply into the surface of hard metal or stone and then transferred to cloth or paper through a press.
Tarrant, Topeka sophomore, said she preferred to shop for presents at the holiday sale because of the handmade touch.
Michael Krueger, professor and advisor to the Intaglio Club, said the holiday sale was a good opportunity to give students an opportunity to sell their work.
Krueger said this sale was unique because most galleries did not want to sell student work. This sale let students know people appreciated their art.
"They're learning about interacting with the community," he said.
BASIC
Students received 80 percent of profits, and the remaining 20 percent went to the KU Ceramic Club Award Fund and the KU Intaglio Club Scholarship Fund, Krueger said.

"They get to see someone pay money out of their pocket for their work," he said.
The price for each piece varied from $5 to $500. Kruger said students faced a challenge when deciding how much to price their work.
"I usually tell them to think about how much money it will take for them to be okay with not having it any more," he said.
Huan Tan, Wichita sophomore, asks Kevin Hinegardner, Omaha senior, a question about a ceramic piece yesterday in the Art and Design building's gallery. Hinegardner was one of 10 students selling ceramic creations in the annual sale.
Kevin Hinegardener, Omaha senior, said a professor taught him a trick to know how to price his ceramic pieces. Simply multiply the height times the width and divide that number by two, he said.
If he is forced to sell a piece he especially likes, Hinegardener said, he
"But depending on what process is used to create it, the price could be higher or lower," he said.
prices it a little higher than normal.
"It's good because you want other people to appreciate it and see its beauty," he said.

Townhomes provide size, privacy for students
By Matt Stumpff
mstumpff@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Comfort-seeking students have sparked an increase in the number of townhomes in Lawrence.
Mike Smith, on-site manager for Courtside Town Homes, said students who valued bigger living spaces and more privacy made townhomes a viable business.
"Most students have a tendency to go for as many amenities as possible," Smith said.
Mike Strohm. Overland Park senior, lived in an apartment last year and said he appreciated his townhome's new, larger bedroom.
"I felt like I could only walk like two
feet in my room before I hit the wall." Strohm said. "We were so cramped.
Students living in townhomes sacrifice cheap, close-to-campus locations for more luxury. Smith said.
The setup of the homes allows tenants to have more privacy than most apartments, he said. Tenants have neighbors next door but don't have people living above or below.
Brad Johnson, Troy graduate student, said he noticed privacy as one of the benefits he noticed after moving to a townhome last year. He said he didn't have to worry about being disturbed or disturbing others.
"It's also more of a homey atmosphere," Johnson said.
Compared to an apartment, rent is typically $50 to $100 more for a residence each month, said Suzanne Schneller, leasing agent for A&S Rental Solutions, which manages apartments and townhomes.
"I felt like I could only wall like two feet in my room before I hit the wall. We were so cramped."
Mike Strohm
Overland Park senior
Strohm said paying $40 more each month was worth the comfort of living in a townhome.
Schneller said that though townhomes had increased in popularity, there weren't enough townhomes to draw significant business from apartments.
Schneller said people who wanted to live by themselves or in two-person apartments don't live in townhomes because of the size and cost.
Location is one disadvantage townhomes have in respect to apartments in Lawrence, Smith said. The size of the complexes and their recent construction forced townhomes to build farther from campus than most apartments.
Katie Williams, Collinsville, Ill. junior, said she didn't live in a townhome because she didn't have a car and needed to stay close to campus. She chose to live in an apartment instead.

Bars adjust to winter weather
(3)

Local establishments find ways to keep outside areas open
The Replay Lounge on 10th and Massachusetts streets is one of many bars winterizing its outdoor sections.
By Louise Stauffer
lstauffer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When the weather outside turns frightful, local bars and restaurants brace for a chill in business.
In some cases, their buildings and menus are even modified to accommodate cold winds, snow and ice.
The Replay Lounge, 946 Mass. St., has had heat lamps on its back patio for years. But this year is the first time the patio and back bar will stay open during the winter months, said Mike Davis, assistant manager.
This year, a canvas partition with large plastic windows surrounds the bar on the patio, ensuring warmth for patrons.
"It's basically like a big, canvas tent," Davis said.
When snow and ice hit the remaining uncovered portion will have to be closed down, heats lamps or not, Davis said.
The Replay also began offering hot alcoholic drinks, such as hot cider and coffee, on Sunday night. Davis said customers appreciated the beverage additions.
"They really do keep you warm." he said.
Papa Keno's Pizzeria, 1035 Mass. St., also has heat lamps on its back patio. But for the very cold months the patio is shut down, unless customers request otherwise, Andrew Collinsworth, operations manager said.
Collinsworth said business during the winter was affected.
but it was expected.
"Downtown Lawrence is a fair weather phenomenon," he said. "All downtown businesses will tell you that January and February are when business is the slowest."
Brad Durkin, owner of The Crossing Inc., 618 W. 12th St., said dreary weather was a big factor in the bar business.
"If it's a nice day people want to play, if it's dreary they don't want to go out," he said.
Durkin said even in the winter months, patrons sat outside on the patio when the sun was out.
"It warms you up pretty quickly," he said.
Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewing Co., 636 Mass. St., said wintertime put a chill on his business. When the weather did cooperate, he said, the patio gave the restaurant an overflow area, which was nice for times when the inside got crowded. On especially busy nights, such as Mondays, cold weather could make space hard to come by.
"Monday nights are a little more dense," he said.
But decreased business and crowded interiors are all a part of crowded in Kansas, Magerl said. He said he was used to the fact that he could never count on nice weather in the winter.
Cory Miller, employee of Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Mass. St., said the business had fewer customers in the winter. He said because fewer patrons preferred the patio when it was cold, fewer people could enter because of reduced capacity. Miller, Chicago junior, said colder temperatures did not affect his going out habits.
Chris Lasister, Olathe junior, said he went to the bars more in the winter months.
"I don't want to go to people's houses, so I'd rather go to bars more," he said.
He said it did not matter to him if the patients were closed.
"If it's cold, I just stay inside," he said.
Local volunteers to pair with show to help area kids

The Center for Community Outreach will work with a national television program to brighten the holiday season for hundreds of Lawrence-area children.
For the sixth consecutive year, the KU Center for Community Outreach and NBC's Today show will present their children's holiday party from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 11, at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
CCO officials expect more than 600 children will attend the party, which is open to any child in the Lawrence area.
"They really have a good time," she said. "The little kids really like it."
"Anyone who wants to come to the party can come," said Shannon Cline, CCO member and co-coordinator for the project.
About 400 of those children will come from the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence's seven locations. The organization will bus kindergarten through high school-aged members to the party, said Carolyn Masinton, director of operations.
Each child will receive a gift donated by the Today show and The Boys and Girls' Club of Lawrence. CCO will provide refreshments.
"Anyone who wants to come to the party can come."
Shannon Cline
CCO member and co-coordinator
for the project
Children who attend the party will make greeting cards for Lawrence Memorial Hospital patients and Lawrence-area nursing home residents. Santa Claus and Baby Jay will also be at the party.
Students who want to volunteer at the party can contact Cline in the CCO office at 864-4073. Volunteers will help set up and clean up the ballroom, wrap gifts and chaperone the event.
Free parking will be available in the Mississippi Street parking garage, north of the Kansas Union.
CCO receives a grant each year from the Today show. Money for the grant comes from national, regional and local businesses and is then distributed to cities nationwide.
Each year since the grant was awarded six years ago. CCO has received 1,000 toy donations and will continue to receive the donations annually as long as it continues to meet grant guidelines.

Students worried about oil spill
Study abroad students visit slick shores of Spain to help cleanup and observe effects of crash on nation's psyche, fishing industry

Area affected by the spill Bay of Biscay FRANCE Santiago de Compostela Atlantic Ocean SPAIN Madrid PORTUGAL Lisbon
Bruno Pieroni/Kansan
KU students here and abroad are witnessing the effects of the massive oil spill that endangered Spanish coasts more than two weeks ago.
The spill occurred when the fuel tanker Prestige split and sank 130 miles off the Atlantic coast of Spain on Nov. 13. An estimated 10,000 tons of fuel oil poured into the sea when the 26-year-old tanker sank.
Katie Macfee, Topeka junior, is studying abroad in Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia, Spain, a city about 70 miles away from the coast. She said the effects on the region's fishermen — the region's main industry — were devastating.
"What will happen to the thousands of people who can no longer earn a living?" she said. "Two of my six Galician roommates have families who work in the fishing industry, and it sad dens me to think of them."
Angie Balderas, Wichita senior studying in Santiago de Compostela, said her two Galician roommates were upset about the spill.
"One of my roommates is from Baiona, and the oil just hit there," she said. "She was crying yesterday."
She said some of the members of the study-abroad group in Santiago de Compostela had been to the beaches to help clean up the oil.
This week, tens of thousands of demonstrators marched in Santiago de Compostela chanting the slogan "Never Again" to protest the Spanish government's reaction to the spill.
Protesters, along with environmental groups such as Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund, criticized the government for its minimizing the extent of the disaster, its lack of coordination in the cleanup operations and its

late call for international help.
The government's decision to order the tanker out to sea when it began leaking oil — rather than bring it to port to unload cargo was also largely criticized.
"The spill is not only going to destroy the fishing industry, but also much of Galicia's economy, which is based on seafood," she said.
Leila Nachawati. Santiago de Compostela graduate student, said she had a lot of friends in Galicia whose parents were fishermen.
The disaster led to a ban on fishing that covered more than 350 miles of coastline, affecting about 7,000 workers.
"This is going to affect Galicia for years, for decades," Nachawati said.

Student competing to be Rhodes scholar

After being sent home empty-handed last year, Robert Chamberlain, Topeka native; is competing again today in Minneapolis, Minn., for one of 32 nationwide Rhodes Scholarships. The awards give winners $50,000 each for two years of graduate study at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
Finals will continue tomorrow followed by the announcement of winners tomorrow evening.
As a 23-year-old who graduated from the University last May, this is Chamberlain's last year of eligibility. He is one of two finalists from Kansas and 16 from the Midwest.
Chamberlain refrained from comment to keep his focus on the competition, said his wife, Kristin Chamberlain, Topeka junior.
Contestants must be nominated by their university to enter competition. The first round begins with an in-state
competition, held Dec. 3 and Dec. 4. Derek Teeter, Oakley senior, and Ainne Wallen, Lindsborg senior, competed alongside Chamberlain against semifinalists from Kansas State University.
I will write a more detailed and thorough response to this question. I will provide the information and details as accurately and objectively as possible, without any bias or personal opinions.
Question: Is there a specific language or terminology used in the image that is not clearly visible?
Answer: Yes, there is a term "mereo" which is often used to describe the sense of hearing or touch. It can also be used to refer to the actual physical sensation of hearing. However, in this image, the term "mereo" is not clearly visible, so it's difficult to determine its meaning without further context.
A more accurate interpretation would require additional information about the image. If you can provide a clearer description of the image, it should be easier to determine the language or terminology used.
Final answer: No, there is no specific language or terminology used in the image that is clearly visible.
Chamberlain
Daniel Cabacungan, Lincoln, Neb., senior and the fourth KU nominee, competed in the Nebraska semi-finals.
Chamberlain's resume includes a National Merit Scholarship and a 2001 Truman Scholarship.
Pursuing a career in government service, Chamberlain is a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, Fort Sill, Okla., until April, Kristin Chamberlain said. He will then move to Fort Campbell, Ky., for further assignment.

to the public.
The public often gave lawmakers mixed messages, she said. People protest both tax increases and cut funding for their public schools.
And you can't have both, she said.
Pat Hurley, a lobbyist and former state representative,
said that legislators and citizens alike must learn to live with one or the other; cuts in programs or higher taxes.
But Hurley was optimistic about the future of the state government and the fate of its much-criticized budget.
In the meantime, all state agencies were paying the price, including education, Loomis
said. Everyone in the state should be concerned about the budget, especially students, he said.
"I've always felt that bad times indeed create opportunities," he said.

KU's budget has suffered an approximately $11 million cut in state funding in the past year.
"Higher education is right in the sights of the Legislature," Loomis said. "There's no question."
Westardivulges compensation
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Westar Energy Inc. officials said yesterday they would comply with a request from regulators to divulge the details of compensation agreements with top executives, including former president David Wittig.
Company spokesman Doug Lawrence said the company would not challenge the Kansas Corporation Commission's order. However, Westar is exploring whether some compensation information must be filed under confidential seal.
"We intend to comply fully with the commission's order," Lawrence said.
The KCC order was in response to a petition filed by James Zakoura, attorney for the Kansas Industrial Consumers, who has been critical of Westar's
rates, management and $3.2 billion in debt. He said KIC would fight any documents released to regulators that remained private.
"There is absolutely no reason in the world that it should remain confidential." Zakoura said.
Zakoura has pored through Westar's management agreements and estimates that Wittig's compensation package could total between $50 million and $100 million.

Academics not crucial for athletes
Every year, college athletes across the nation impede their own athletic progress and sabotage their team's shot at championship glory — by studying more than they have to. This could be happening anywhere, to any college team — even our beloved Kansas men's basketball team.
When you get dedicated scholars who play on your school's squad, they divide their attention between academics and athletics. When athletes have to divide their attention, as a natural consequence one of their activities gets shortchanged. Just ask Deion Sanders or Bo Jackson.
But which scholar athletes are hurting their team the most? I decided to invent an Academic Detriment Rating, or ADR, for college basketball. I tried to come up with a stat that factors in a player's GPA and playing time. After writing a lot numbers, I felt like Russell Crowe's character in A Beautiful Mind, only I was using index cards instead of a chalkboard, and the people I was talking to were real — I hope. Anyway, after my head began to hurt, I went with a very simple ADR formula.
First, you take the difference between the player's GPA and the minimum GPA required for graduation in his school and multiply by 100. Then, you multiply that by the player's percentage of playing time in minutes per game.
Voila — a player's basic ADR.
So who's an example of a player who might hurt his team with excessive classroom excellence? Let's look at Jacque Vaughn's 1997 season. Vaughn, Kansas' all-time assists leader, graduated in 1997 with a 3.72 GPA, 1.52 points over the minimum required for graduation, a 2.2 GPA, from the business school. So, multiplying by 100, that 1.52 difference becomes 152.
Now, the playing time percentage: In 1997, Vaughn averaged 31.5 minutes per game out of 40 possible minutes, a rounded playing time percentage of .79. So you multiply the GPA part, 1.52, by the playing time percentage to get Vaughn's ADR: 120.08.
That's a high ADR. If Vaughn had allowed his GPA to come down a little to spend time working on his one weakness, his scoring, maybe he could have provided the deciding points in Kansas' 85-82 loss to Arizona in the 1997 NCAA Tournament. This isn't to say that Vaughn wasn't a dedicated player, or that he should have sacrificed his studies for basketball. But when coaches recruit dedicated students, they take the risk that they won't fully develop as players.
By contrast, Jeff Carey excelled in school, but because he wasn't as important a player, his studies didn't do as much harm to the 'Hawks. Plus, he was a graduate student with a higher academic standard to live up to. So even though his GPA was somewhere between 3.2 and 4.0, his ADR only rates somewhere between 3.6 and 17.82, a very low, healthy ADR range.
Unfortunately, I can't run the exact ADR numbers for anyone on the current Kansas team. The University won't just release their GPAs to anyone who asks. But other than Nick Collison, who was named second-team Academic All-Big 12 last year, none of these Hawks have made headlines for their academic prowess.
This means Kansas players probably have a group of low ADRs and are concentrating more on excelling on the court than in the classroom. As fans who want a national championship, let's hope it stays that way.

Aaron Miles, Michael Lee will play in home state against No.7 Oregon
By Jessica Scott

Two of Oregon's finest are creating quite a buzz on the West coast, even though they are half a country away.
Kansas sophomores Aaron Miles and Michael Lee return to their home state today in preparation for a 2:30 p.m. game tomorrow in Portland, Ore., against the University of Oregon.
The two Jayhawks, who have been friends since early childhood, said they don't exactly know what to expect, though Lee said he foresaw a welcome reception.
"I really don't want to say it will be too great and have it be less than that, but I think we'll get a good reception from the crowd," Lee said. "They'll appreciate us being home."
Lee got a little warmed up for this game Wednesday night. The 6-foot-3 guard logged a career-high 16 minutes and tied a career-high of three rebounds. He also showed a lot of hustle and defensive prowess as he knocked away passes and nagged his player on the perimeter.
Miles, who began playing basketball with Lee in the third grade, said he pulls for his life-long friend out on the court.
"Mike's been my boy since when I was real young so you know I love him," Miles said. "I want to see him succeed, so anytime he does anything I'm really happy for him. I think it helps when I talk to him and encourage him because I know he's going to listen to me."

Record year ends too soon

The Jayhawks didn't make it into the NCAA Tournament this year, but they will go down in history.
The Jayhawks finished the season 19-10 overall and 10-10 in the Big 12 Conference. They set a team record with 10 conference victories, and the .500 conference-winning percentage tied the school record. Kansas' four conference victories on the road are the most ever in a single season for a Jayhawk squad. Its 12-match sweeps are an all-time high.

Despite the record-breaking year, Kansas fell short of making the NCAA Tournament. But coach Ray Bechard said it should not take away how much the team accomplished this season.
"We had an awesome year. The senior class will be missed," junior outside hitter Sarah Rome said. "It was good being on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. But none of us want to be left out next season."
Molly Scavuiz, senior outside hitter, and Lindsey Morris, sophomore outside hitter, attempt to block a spike against Colorado. The Jahayhins finished their season with 10 Big 12 Conference victories.
Bechard said he was impressed by the senior leadership that Jennifer Kraft, Jamie Morningstar, Molly Scavuzzo and Kylie Thomas have displayed during the season.

Jayhawks tip-off in Classic
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's already been a year of firsts for the Kansas newcomers: first game in Jayhawk uniforms, first game with their new teammates, first practice with coach Marian Washington, first time the team has started a season 3-0 since 1999-2000. Now the young Jayhawks are chasing another first, as in first place at this weekend's Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic basketball tournament at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas will meet Texas Southern for the first time in the opening round at 7:05 tonight. If the Jayhawks defeat Texas Southern (2-1) they will face the winner of the Western Illinois (2-2)—Western Michigan (2-0) game in the championship at 4:05 p.m., tomorrow. If not, they will play the consolation game at 2:05 p.m.
The Jayhawks own an 11-3 overall record in the Classic, but two victories this weekend may have additional significance. A tournament championship would improve Kansas' record to 5-0, tying the 1999-2000 team's start. The prospect hasn't escaped the notice of sophomore forward Blair Waltz.
"When we won at the University of San Diego, I was like 'Coach we have over half the wins we had last year,'" she told reporters after Wednesday's practice. "It's a great feeling."
An undefeated weekend is not out of the realm of possibility. In their three games, the young Jayhawks have shown uncommon maturity in come-from-behind victories against the University of Texas-El Paso and the University of San Diego, Washington said. That mental toughness combined with improved athleticism, team chemistry and work ethic have helped keep Kansas in the black this season.
"Right now we're winning because of our heart and our determination," Washington said. "We're not necessarily winning because we're executing real well yet, but were going to get there."
Kansass's four leading scorers have been a tremendous source of Jayhawk's athleticism and enthusiasm. Freshman forwards Crystal Kemp and Tamara Ransburg have started since the exhibition season. Kemp is the squad's leading scorer, averaging 15 points per game, and sophomore transfer Aquanita Burras isn't far behind with 13. Kemp and Burras have been successful on the offensive end of the floor, and Ransburg has been dominant on the defensive side. She is tied for Big 12 lead in shots blocked with 3.33 per game and is fourth in defensive rebounds per game with seven.
"It's been a long time since we have had that kind of an impact class," Washington said."And when you think about the foundation, they are a really good starting place for us."

University of Kansas chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a statement that he wanted to ensure that Mangino had the time and support to develop a winning football program.

Shannon O'Connor's eyes give her away.
At first glance, you might miss them. She looks like one of the lucky ones.
She could be. A glowing smile, framed by delicate features and olive skin, has undoubtedly led many to that conclusion.
Then there are the layouts in the Women of KU calendar O'Connor is one of two models to make a second appearance in the swimsuit and fashion calendar worthy of a PG-13 rating.

Shannon O'Connor, men's basketball manager, sits on the sidelines at a game. She appeared in the Women of KU calendar for the second time.
But there are those eyes.
Sports fans recognize her from her other job as a manager for the men's basketball team. They gossip about her on the message boards of Web sites devoted to sports. A search at press time revealed
343 threads singing her praises on Kansas basketball rumor mill Phog.网.
Still, those mahogany eyes keep staring from across the table, never blinking.
Along with modeling and managing the men's basketball team, she is working toward degrees in communications and Spanish and works four to 10 hours a week at a part time job.
It seems blinking is the only thing O'Connor doesn't do.
Rob Curly is the general manager for KUsports.com, the company responsible for producing the Women of KU calendar with the Jayhawk Bookstore. Curly said 70 to 80 percent of the Web site hits resulted from the calendar.
"I don't sleep much," O'Connor said.
Despite separating basketball practice, photo shoots, homework and her job by mere minutes during her day, O'Connor said she tried to keep her activities from interfering with each other.

Jayhawks prepare to face Aggies in conference meet
Swimming and Diving
By JeremyKrashin
jkrashin@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
After a strong showing at the Nike Cup in Chapel Hill, N.C., the Kansas swimming and diving team is ready to start Big 12 Conference competition.
Texas A&M will open the Jayhawks' conference schedule at noon Saturday. The Aggies are ranked No. 22, and according to Kansas coach Clark Campbell, deserve that national ranking, as well as the designation as one of the best teams in the Big 12 and the country.
Campbell said now that the conference season was here, his team is ready and excited to open against a tough opponent.
"I think it will be a very exciting meet," he said. "I think we are going to be in it the whole way through."
"They have excellent athletes and are well-coached," he said of the Aggies. "At the Nike Cup, we made a huge step and this will be our first test afterwards."
Campbell said he knew it would be difficult to defeat the Aggies, but he knows that his team can compete with nationally ranked competition.
"This going to be like a heavyweight boxing
match — it will be a back and forth meet, not just won or lost by who is winning the races, but in the trenches with who gets third and fourth place." Campbell said. "It's going to be a battle down to sixth places every heat."
The team has a lot of confidence, in part because of the performance of Amy Gruber and Kristen Johnson at the Nike Cup.
Gruber qualified for the NCAA Championships in Auburn, and Johnson made a B-cut, which means she will have to get faster to get an invitation, but she is close to reaching a qualifying mark. Campbell said, she will be even faster at the Big 12 Championships
"Both Gruber and Kristen Johnson, they are the poster children for summer commitment," he said. "They both went to the national championships this past summer in August, and had a great summer of training and racing. They used that to launch themselves into a great collegiate season."
Campbell said it was everyone's goal for this race and the rest of the season to continue improving from the Nike Cup times.
"If we can get to that level in the next six to eight weeks, that will get us ready for the Big 12 championships," he said.

Specialist of the Year. She finished her career as the all-time Kansas leader in service aces (151). She is also seventh in career games played (411) and career digs (970).
Sophomore middle blocker Ashley Michaels was added to the honorable mention All-Big 12 team, the first Kansas sophomore ever to be awarded this honor. She was also named to the first team Academic All-Big 12.
Michael earned the Kansas single-match record with a .917 hitting efficiency, getting 11 kills in 12 attempts in the Aug. 31 match at Creighton. She finished with the Kansas single season record of a .363 hitting efficiency, sixth in
the Big 12 this season.
Freshman Iosiane Lima is the second Kansas player ever to be named to the first team All-Big 12. She is the first Kansas freshman to receive this honor. Lima finished the season with 327 kills, the most by a freshman in a single season.
Bechard said the team would have somemotivation and anger that they were not selected for the tournament. He said these motives would drive his players to work hard in the offseason.
"We hope that the momentum we left this season can maintain itself and reappear next fall when everything settles and we have a chance to look back this season," he said. "I know we'll have a lot of great moments. We look forward to a bright future."

Why is it that when the Kansas men's basketball team loses a game, they still get the entire front page of the sports section of the Kansan, whereas when the women's team is having a wonderful winning streak, they don't get squat. Come on, Kansan, get with it.

Uh, yeah, I read in the newspaper last week that the men's ultimate frisbee team won the national tournament last week. That's nationals, I just want to say that it's crap that they get less than a tiny little article.

Yes, this is to the Dick Viteau wannabe trying to trash on Wayne Simien. Tell me why he led reboundings three games in a row and made the all-tournament team in New York City. I don't think any other KJ Jayhawks did that. Oh, by they way, who do you work for, where do you play? Um, nowhere.
I never thought I'd ever be saying this, but our hoops squad needs Chenowith.

Yeah, I just read the article that doubted the KU basketball team, stating that the 2-2 record was the worst start since the '87-'88 season. Hmmm, what else happened in the '87-'88 season? Oh yeah, we won the Final Four.

OBITUARY
'Monday Night Football,' 'Nightline' founder dies
Arledge died Thursday at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, said Jeffrey Schneider, an ABC News spokesman. He died from complications caused by cancer.
NEW YORK — Roope Arledge, a pioneering television executive at ABC News and Sports responsible for creating shows from Monday Night Football to Nightline, died Thursday, an ABC News spokesman said. He was 71.
Although he retired in 1998, Arledge's far-reaching influence can still be seen on television all the time: when a slow-motion replay is shown at a sporting event, whent Peter Jennings reads the news or when a sportscaster criticizes a player.
"Roone changed the face of television sports coverage with Wide World of Sports in the early 1960s and the production of the Olympic games," said longtime broadcaster Jim McKay.
Arledge was single-handedly credited with bringing modern production techniques to sports coverage, then building ABC News into a power during the 1980s. For a decade, he was president of the sports and news divisions at ABC.
The 36-time Emmy winner was cited as one of the 100 most important Americans of the 20th century by Life magazine in 1990.
In 1961, Arledge created ABC's Wide World of Sports, one of the most popular sports series ever, and coined its tag line — "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
He was the first to demand that networks, not sports leagues, approve announcers—a philosophy that led to his hire of Howard Cosell,the abrasive New Yorker who was probably the most famous sportscaster ever.

The Kansas women's basketball team may be entering this weekend undefeated, but leaving it in the same condition could be tough.
This weekend, the team will host the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic. The Jayhawks welcome Texas Southern, Western Michigan and Western Illinois to Allen Fieldhouse, wanting to end the tournament unscathed with a 5-0 record.
"It would be tremendous. There's no question," coach Marian Washington said. "Everyday I look forward to coming to practice because we have some young people who really want to be here and want to compete, and they are going to be a real fun team to watch in the next few years."
Tonight the Jayhawks will face the Texas Southern Tigers (2-1) at 7:05 at Allen Fieldhouse. The Tigers are coming off of a 64-53 win Tuesday over Lamar. The team's first taste of Big 12 Conference competition this season resulted in a 103-50 loss at Baylor.
One advantage for Kansas is that the game plan they will see from Texas Southern is similar to what they saw in its 59-56 win over San Diego last weekend.
"They're more of a perimeter-minded ball club," Washington said. "They're going to be more like San Diego because they're going to spread us out, and they look to drive."
Sophomore forward Blair Waltz will took to ride the momentum of her big trip to
California. During the two game road swing, Waltz averaged 13 points per game, including a 20-point effort against Cal State-Fullerton.
"Our team has worked so hard, and I expect our team to have a great record coming into the Big 12." Waltz said.
Waltz said she expected to play tonight despite having the flu the past couple days. Although Waltz still showed
signs of illness, Washington expected the same effort out of one of her key returning players.
"Blair's going to want to be healthy. You know she's a gamer." Washington said. "She's watching practice. She's doing everything she can to stay up on what we're doing. She's an important player for us, and we really need her on the floor."

Battered Rams face former coach
Murphy is a Baldwin City senior in journalism.
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - His best running back has a sore ankle and his top lineman's torn hamstring may keep him out the rest of the year.
He's getting ready to have an injury-plagued, makeshift offensive line that was built for turf block for a third-team quarterback on natural grass.
If that's not enough, the wife of his most popular player is taking shots at him on the radio.
No wonder Mike Martz has white hair.
"We've got some hot coals out in back," said the coach of the star-crossed St. Louis Rams. "I'm
going to walk over them as soon as I'm done here. We're going to see how tough I really am."
Pretty tough, says Dick Vermeil, who hired him as offensive coordinator for the Rams (5-7) in 1999, the year they won the Super Bowl.
Besides the soap opera scenarios hovering over the Rams, this game will ripple with personal undercurrent.
Now it's Vermeil, as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, who'll be doing his best to add to the Rams' woes Sunday. The Chiefs (6-6) must win to keep even a whiff of playoff hopes alive.
There was plenty of resentment in the Rams' front office when
Vermeil took the Chiefs job just one year after unexpectedly retiring from St. Louis following the 1999 Super Bowl season.
It wound up costing Vermeil the four-year, $2 million contract St. Louis had given him as a "consultant," and it cost the Chiefs a second- and third-round draft choice, a penalty laid down by the commissioner.
Vermeil and Martz insist they've remained close.
"I think Mike has demonstrated real strength in going through this kind of season and under the adversity he's been under due to injury and everything else," Vermilil said. "He has shown great leadership."

Film goes to court, Sundance
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The 2003 Sundance Film Festival will begin with a little levity — Ed Solomon's Levity, that is.
The directorial debut from Solomon, a longtime writer and producer, stars Billy Bob Thornton as a convicted murderer seeking redemption after 19 years in prison. Morgan Freeman, Holly Hunter and Kirsten Dunst co-star in the film, which opens the festival on Ian. 16.
Movies from two actors who are directing for the first time also are on the festival lineup, announced this week.
Salma Hayek directed Ruben Blades and Peter Fonda in The Maldonado Miracle, about the testing of a small town's faith when a statue of Jesus appears to be shedding tears of blood.
And Matt Dillon directed and stars in City of Ghosts, featuring James Caan, Stellan Skarsgard and Gerard Depardieu in a story about a con man on the run.
Also premiering at Sundance is People I Know, a mystery with Al Pacino, Tea Leoni, Kim Basinger and Ryan O'Neal.
Danny Glover and Whoopi Goldberg star in Good Fences, about an upwardly mobile family for whom the American dream becomes a nightmare.
Born Rich, a documentary that survived a court battle over claims from one of the film's subjects that he was tricked into appearing, will screen in the American Spectrum program.
the right to distribute the documentary featuring the offspring of wealthy families, including Ivanka Trump and Georgina Bloomberg.
A New York State Supreme Court Justice ruled in October that Jamie Johnson, a 23-year-old New York University film student and Johnson & Johnson heir, had
Weil said he was tricked into taking part in what he thought was a school project that "embarrassed" and "humiliated" him and his family.
The ruling dismissed a lawsuit filed by Luke Weil, whose father ran the gaming technology company Autotote.
Dramatic competition films include Party Monster, starring Macaulay Culkin in the true story of Michael Alig, a club kid who killed his drug dealer roommate. The Cooler pairs William H. Macy and Alec Baldwin with 'N Sync's Joey Fatone in the story of an Ivy League-educated man sent by the mob to revamp a casino.

"We know it will be a big time test," Williams said after Wednesday's game. "They've got some revenge on their minds possibly and they are playing very well and we're not playing as well. We took a step forward tonight. It will have to be our best game of the year."
Michael Lee, sophomore guard, tries to get past Central Missouri State junior guard James Collins. When asked about returning to his home state of Oregon for the Jayhawks next game, Lee said, "They'll appreciate us being home."

Protest questions war
By George Schulz

Kansan staff writer
Demonstrations against President George Bush's call for war with Iraq continued Saturday in Topeka.
About 175 people, according to police estimates, gathered first at the capital building and then marched to the Frank Carlson Federal Building.
Braving frigid weather, the protesters chanted and carried signs reading "Peace is patriotic" and "Question authority while it's still legal."
The event drew protesters from cities throughout the state including Wichita,
"As a vet, I don't believe the government has used the military for defense in the last half century."

Chris White, Fresno, Calif., graduate student and member of the international group Veterans for Peace, said he was concerned about the Bush administration's foreign policy decisions.
"As a vet, I don't believe the govern
ment has used the military for defense in the last half century," White, a four-year veteran of the Marine Corps, said. "Therefore, no credibility exists for the current war stance of the Bush administration."
Not everyone agreed with White, however.
Pat Boyle, a Kansas City, Kan., resident who was in Topeka at the time of the protest, said the demonstrators didn't understand the importance of defending their own country.
"If they ever had to stand up for their country, they wouldn't do this," he said.

International students at the University of Kansas must keep their passport and other identification papers up to date. This is one of several regulations that international students must follow as a condition of remaining in the United States.

He was just going home last summer
But having the wrong color of skin was all Thanasis Saouros needed to be randomly selected and searched at nearly every check point in each airport on his way home to Cyprus.
It was inconvenient, annoying and a little embarrassing, but Saouros said he didn't blame airport security members
"You try to excuse them," he said, "because everyone who was part of Sept. 11 looked just like me."
International students like Saouros, a junior from Lymbia, Cyprus, have had to deal with more than being searched in airports in the post-Sept. 11 world.
In the war against terrorism, a wave of new laws and harsher enforcement of existing laws have targeted international students in ways that touch many aspects of their lives. International students must carry special 1D cards at all times; they cannot work off campus; they must report changes of address and field of study; they must be enrolled in at least 12 credits hours each semester. Starting next month, the University of Kansas must report violations immediately to the government via an Internet-based program. These violations could end, or at least postpone, a student's plans for an American education.
International students like Saouros aren't making a fuss about the new laws,

Few people made a fuss, in fact, over the need for stricter security measures. For example, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act was introduced to Congress about three weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks. On Oct. 26, President Bush signed into law the PATRIOT Act, as it's commonly known.
But how this act achieves security has caused debate.
The scope of the PATRIOT Act is as extensive and ambiguous as its name. It made about 100 changes to the law, said Jo Hardesty, director of KU Legal Services for Students.
The act increases governmental powers to investigate potential terrorists, from allowing federal officials to more easily tap phone lines and record e-mails, to monitoring circulation records at public libraries and keeping a closer eye on international students.
The act also gives the government the right to arrest and detain noncitizens based only on suspicion and allows the monitoring of communication between detained noncitizens and their attorneys.

Although there are only two weeks left in the semester, students are still busy working on projects,papers and final exams.
With those exams and projects comes physical and mental stress. This week Student Union Activities and the Meditation Club want to relieve that stress.
At 7 p.m., Dec. 11 at the Hawks Nest in the Kansas Union, massage therapists will give free five-minute upper-back and neck massages to students as part of "Stress Relief Night."
Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence junior and president of SUA, said the event would allow students to relax and study.
"This helps students get out of the studious realm," Farokhi said. "We know during finals and stop day, it's going to be even more stressful."
The SUA and the Meditation Club will serve hot chocolate and set up tables for students to study. Farokhi said.
"Even if 50 people get to experience it, we helped those people because we have 50 less stressed students." she said.
For more information about this event, log on to suaevs.com.
At 5:45 p.m., Dec. 12 at the Sunflower Room in the Burge Union, the meditation club will have a session where students and faculty can come and meditate.

Cadets witness refueling

The freshmen and sophomore cadets left the University Friday morning with Col. Mike Lee and Sgt. Tim Himes for Forbes Field, Topeka, the home of 190th Air Refueling Wing.
Nine Air Force ROTC cadets from the University of Kansas had the opportunity to observe first-hand the refueling of military aircraft from a KC-135 Stratotanker last week.
The 190th ARW flies 11 KC-135s, known as aerial gas stations. The KC-135s hold up to 180,000 lbs. of fuel and can refuel military aircraft while in flight.
For most of the cadets, the flight was their first time on a military aircraft. For Emily Waln, the flight was her first time ever on an airplane.
Commander Col. Michael O"Toole welcomed and briefed the group before its KC-155 flight.
"This is one of those field trips when you can actually have some fun," O"Toole said.

During the flight, the cadets were able to sit in the cockpit with the pilots and ask questions of the flight crew. They also watched the refueling of four A-10 jets from the rear of the plane, where an

Lee said the flight was a valuable opportunity for the cadets to observe Air Force operations first-hand.
The A-10s, which each received 8,000 lbs. of fuel, were going to Willow Grove Naval Air Station in Pennsylvania and would later fly to the Middle East.
"We're trying to get them some training where they can actually see what they're going to be doing, instead of just reading about it in a book," he said.

Former student to study at Oxford as Rhodes scholar
The University of Kansas has just added another student to its list of Rhodes scholars. At 24, KU has produced more Rhodes scholars than any other Regents university since the program's establishment in 1903.
Judges announced Saturday evening that Robert Chamberlain of Topeka, May 2002 graduate, secured the $50,000 scholarship for two years of graduate study at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
The foundation also awarded a Rhodes scholarship to a Kansas State University senior Ben Champion of Olathe.
Thirty-two scholarship recipients are selected annually through interviews and research. After competing as a finalist for the award last year, Chamberlain revised his research plan of studying international applications of the regime theory. Developed in 1980, the theory examines strengths and weaknesses of political regimes.
Chamberlain said he would leave for Oxford in October and finish his study in May of 2005.
Chamberlain, a U.S. Army second lieutenant, is serving as a field artillery officer for the 101st Airborne Division. He said he would finish his officer basic training course in April and resume his military service in Fort Campbell, Ky., upon his return to the United States.

Cardinal stays away from church, protest
BOSTON—Facing outrage from priests and parishioners over new revelations of clergy misconduct, Cardinal Bernard Law stayed away from the Cathedral of the Holy Cross yesterday as protesters renewed calls for his resignation.
Some 400 protesters gathered outside the cathedral, where Law had been expected to celebrate Mass, as they have since the abuse scandal erupted in January.
Yesterday's protest was fueled by last week's release of new internal church documents containing some of the most spectacular allegations yet, suggesting church officials tolerated a wide range of clergy misconduct, and not just sexual abuse of boys.
"His presence here is hindering the ability of the victims to come out. He is the real voice of dissent here. He is the one flouting Catholic teachings time and again," said Jean Garrity, 43, of Wellesley, a member of the group Voice of the Faithful.

Israeli troops shoot mother and children
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip—Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian woman and wounded her three children as well as a second woman in a refugee camp yesterday, Palestinian witnesses said.
Israel said soldiers shot at armed Palestinians trying to infiltrate a Jewish settlement and had no information on civilians being shot.
Early yesterday, two Israeli soldiers were wounded seriously when a bomb went off on the Israel-Lebanon border. Two other soldiers were wounded when a bomb exploded next to their jeep near the West Bank town of Tulkarem, army officials said.
The military said soldiers saw a group of Palestinians approaching the settlement of Rafiah Yam. The soldiers opened fire on the Palestinians and saw Palestinians take four wounded people away while two others escaped, the military said.
But a Palestinian witness, Samir Abu Shahin, said Israeli soldiers opened fire at the Tel Sultan refugee camp, which is near the settlement.
"The woman and her family were walking in the middle of the street, and I saw her fall, and blood covering her body, and not far from her, the two children also fell."
The woman, Nahla Aqel, 40, died of a bullet wound in the neck, Shahin said.
Her 4-year-old son was shot in the head and her 14-year-old daughter was shot in the back.

Janet Muggy, wife of the owner, said the day did not go without a hitch. They had to reprint the front cover, so we only got about 300' of the 3,000 copies ordered. She said the event did however, bring more business to the store. The company plans another signing Friday from 2-4 pm.

U.N. weapons inspectors receive Iraqi weapons report
The nuclear component of the declaration arrived earlier yesterday in Vienna, Austria, where the International Atomic Energy Agency is based. The chemical, biological and missile components of the dossier will be analyzed and translated by U.N. inspectors based in New York.
UNITED NATIONS Iraq's massive dossier detailing its chemical, biological and nuclear programs arrived yesterday in New York, where U.N. weapons inspectors plan to comb through the voluminous report to determine whether Baghdad is complying with Security Council resolutions.
Two copies of the 12,000-page dossier arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt, Germany, at 7:45 p.m.
One copy of the declaration is for the Security Council and the other is for the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, known as
UNMOVIC, which oversees the search for biological and chemical agents.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the IAEA's director-general, said analysts in Vienna began work immediately on the declaration, "including the painstaking and systematic cross-checking" of the information it contains. Iraq's account will be compared with intelligence provided by other nations and with data from past and present inspections, he said.

"We need to have patriotism again."
After rallying outside the Carlson Federal Building, the protesters headed back to the capital and gathered for impromptu speeches about the Bush administration's war policy.
Ophra Leyser, Dekalb, III,
graduate student, said she
attended the protest because
she was worried about America's relationship with the rest of the world.
"I feel like if we go to war with Iraq, it will further erode the U.S.'s credibility with other countries and ultimately create a less safe environment for us," she said.
Andrew McNeil-Marshall, Downers Grove, Ill., sophomore, said he thought Americans weren't adequately informed about the war because of media restrictions in Iraq.
"There's a lot going on with the weapons inspectors," he said. "It seems like there's not a lot being told in the media."

Delay tactic lets broadcast match TV
By Kelly McNearney
kmcnearney@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bob Davis is not psychic. And now, because of new technology introduced into Kansas basketball radio broadcasts, the jayhawks' play-by-play announcer will no longer be calling the future.
Kansas fans who have previously listened to Davis' basketball radio broadcasts while watching games on television heard the plays called one second before they actually happened.
"I used to tell people, Bob's so good he knows when the ball's going to go in," said Bob Newton, producer and engineer of the Jayhawk Radio Network.
Newton has fixed that problem. The Jayhawk Radio Network inserted a delay into radio broadcasts of Kansas basketball games that match the pace of television broadcasts.
Newton said the delay used to be a fraction of a second, but that in recent years the delay had gotten longer and longer.
He said he received calls from fans who wanted the radio sound to match the television broadcast.
Newton began searching for a remedy last season and finally found it at the end of the season. Newton purchased the digital delay device from England for $1,400.
The device inserts a pause in the radio before it leaves the Fieldhouse. During games, Newton calls someone watching TV to make sure the sound matches.
Newton said for games on ESPN, the television broadcast
It then travels to ESPN in Bristol, Conn., then back up to the satellite another 23,000 miles into space and finally to the televisions in people's living rooms.
travels from the Fieldhouse to a satellite uplink 23,000 miles into space.
Even at the speed of light that takes about a second. It is that second that causes the TV to be slower than the radio.
The only problem with the new device is the disservice it does to fans inside the Fieldhouse watching the game and listening to the Jayhawk Radio Network on headsets.
Those fans will now see the game action and then hear it one second later on the radio.
"They'll just think Bob and Max are getting a little slow in their old age." Newton said.
"We can't make it perfect for everybody, but we're trying to make it better for most of the
people,"
Bob Newton Jayhawk Radio Network producer and engineer
Newton said he was trying to please the majority of listeners. He said most listeners were not inside the Fieldhouse but were listening to the one of the 30 stations all over the state of Kansas that carry the games.
"We can't make it perfect for everybody, but we're trying to make it better for most of the people," he said.
Newton said he was pleased
that people preferred to listen to the Jayhawk Radio Network rather than the television play-by-play announcers. The problem of timing became increasingly evident during the NCAA tournament last season when the radio was calling the plays 1.9 seconds before they appeared through CBS on the television.
Kydie Grossheusch, Batavia, Ill., senior, turns down the volume on her TV and listens to Davis and partner Max Falkenstien announce the games. She noticed the difference in this season's broadcasts.
"It's so much better now," Grossheusch said. "I just prefer to listen to Bob and Max rather than the TV guys and now the sounds match perfectly."
Dole Institute to be pictured on phone book

A December delivery will bring the Dole Institute of Politics building at the University of Kansas into thousands of Lawrence homes.
An architectural rendering of the building, which is under construction at the University of Kansas' West Campus, will be featured on the cover of the December
2002 edition of the SBC Southwestern Bell telephone directory
The drawing was created by ASAI Architecture, a Kansas City, Mo., architecture firm.
"We're proud to showcase the permanent home of the Dole Institute on the cover of the latest Lawrence directory," said Brett Sayre, external affairs director for SBC, in a statement.
He estimated area residents would use the directory collectively a total of 6 million times in
the next year.
SBC has contributed to the construction of the new center, Erik Nelson, associate director of the Dole Institute, said.
Nelson said asking SBC to print the new building's image on its Lawrence directory was a great promotional tool for the Institute.
"It's a great way to introduce ourselves," he said.
The new facility will feature a World Trade Center memorial composed of structural beams
salvaged from Ground Zero, a 120-seat auditorium and KU's first satellite uplink.
The cornerstone of the Institute is its collection of former Sen. Bob Dole's government documents, comprising 4,000 boxes and the largest congressional collection in the world.
The building's dedication is scheduled for July 22, 2003, which is former Sen. Dole's 80th birthday.
SBC will begin delivering the directories to residences, businesses and government offices this week and will continue through December.
Residents can recycle old directories through Project ReDirectory.
Collection sites will run Dec. 16 through Jan. 31 at all area McDonald's and Dillons stores and at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St. and City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

PORT COQUITLAM, British Columbia — The preliminary hearing for alleged serial killer Robert Pickleton will be open to the media and public, a judge ruled Friday.
Pickton, 53, faces 15 first-degree murder charges, with police still searching a Port Coquilam pig farm he owns with his siblings for possible remains of more than 50 other
women missing from the Vancouver area.
Canadian judges routinely ban the reporting of evidence from preliminary hearings, but the closed courtroom sought by Pickton's lawyer would have been much broader.
Lawyer Peter Ritchie had sought the unusual measure of closing the court completely, even to victims' relatives, claiming sensational evidence could taint the potential jury pool.
Ritchie said the overriding concern should be selection of an impartial jury, calling a ban on attendance by journalists and
family members "an awesome decision to be made in the rarest of cases."
Ritchie said he feared U.S. media would publish details of the evidence, and the reports would reach Canada by the Internet, cable and satellite television and imported newspapers.
Stone rejected Ritchie's request, saying the normal safeguards of a publication ban were sufficient.
Pickton observed the proceedings from behind bulletproof glass in a special defendant's box and smiled when Stone announced his decision.

KANSAN EDITORIAL BOARD
Two days in fall not worth loss of study time for finals
In February of 1999 the University Council voted to change the academic calendar. The changes included adding a fall break and a two-week intersession after January 1. The changes also shortened finals week from six days to five.
According to an article in The University Daily Kansan the same month, Carol Holstead, Calendar Committee member and associate professor of journalism, said the committee was making the changes to respond to expressed needs for mental downtime.
A shortened finals week may seem like a small sacrifice for two days off in fall. Especially considering that in previous years without fall break students were in school continuously from the Labor Day until Thanksgiving break.
Yet, students still have a say in this issue and need to ask themselves this question: is having a fall break worth less time to study for finals?
For one thing, the break might not be that effective.
Fall break comes in the middle of October, during most students' midterms. Since the University doesn't have a designated week for midterms, the scheduling of tests is left up to professors. This means students are just as likely to have tests the Wednesday before fall break as they are to have a
test the Monday after fall break
Having to study over the break doesn't constitute much of a break.
The plan also included a longer winter break to give students the benefit of taking interim classes the first two weeks of January before returning for the spring semester.
Prior to the changes, stop day was usually in the middle of the week, allowing for students to have a weekend between finals. The weekend was useful not only for study time, but for rest time as well.
Now finals start on Monday and end Friday. Students receive three days before finals, including stop day, to prepare.
Finals are a stressful time, and having adequate time to prepare is essential.
While the University has the best interest of students in mind, students need to provide feedback. This plan is not final. Changes can still be made.
Students need to let the University know if a fall break is really worth cramming finals into five days. Contact a school senator and tell them whether the school calendar is working for you.
Tis the season.

Companies misuse copyrights infringe on consumers' rights
GUEST COMMENTARY
Image the mistake or going shopping on Black Friday this year. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It gets its name because this is the day retail companies' bottom line figures leave the red and enter the black.
Avoiding this situation and giving shoppers an extra edge was the intention of those who posted this year's Black Friday sale prices nearly 10 days in advance on a variety of Web sites, including Fatwallet.com and DealExpert.net.
Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and Office Max, among others, were bothered by the free advertising. Their lawyers sent letters to the sites threatening lawsuits if the sale prices were not immediately removed.
GUEST COMMENT
Greg Holmquist
opinion@kansan.com
The postings of sale information consist primarily of a series of rearranged facts. Retailers built their suit on claims that they have copyright control over these facts.
Faced with the threat of lawsuit from the retailers, the sites were forced to take down the information.
The Supreme Court has held that "copyright protection extends only to
This case is interesting because of their claims. Retailers threatened suit under copyright protection rather than trade secrets provisions. Moreover, they did so citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA.
Still, retailers pressed their ultimatum citing copyright law, likely because of the DMCA. Under section 512 of the Act, defendants are not liable if they immediately remove the content in question.
But even though provisions exist to put back the information if it is not protected by copyright, the process wouldn't have been completed in time for Black Friday.
Ironically, section 512 is the very provision that's supposed to "protect" sites such as Fatwallet.com.
The options are clear: escape now by complying, or fight under the risk of financial disaster. The DMCA benefits those who wrote it: lobbyists for those who want to wrestle all control back from us, the consumers.
For threatened sites, the decision to remove the information was a business
one, not a moral one.
The reservations of Fatwallet.com were painfully clear when they removed the information.
In place of the ads Fatwallet, com wrote: "While we believe that sale prices are facts and can not be copyrighted, we have made the business decision to comply with the DMCA notifications...If we were to choose to fight this battle, it would require more resources than are available -and we would no longer be able to serve consumers."
Fatwallet com sums up the danger of the situation in one simple line: "we would no longer be able to serve consumers."
We, as consumers, are the victims in this never-ending trade against our rights.
Whether it's claiming copyright over a series of facts or making it difficult to convert music from legally purchased CDs into MP3s—making MP3s from albums you own is 100 percent legal—the exploitation of intellectual property laws written by and for powerful interests continue to stifle our rights as consumers.
As consumers, we have to be willing to fight against these encroachments, and the first step is recognizing that there is a problem.

Obedience to law not an option for moral, social reasons
Andy Watson sold marijuana and got caught according to Friday's University Daily Kansas. Unfortunately, his assessment of the experience illustrates a faulty way of looking at the law.
Watson said, "It's a dumb idea, but it's not a morally bad thing to do — it's dumb because it's illegal...it doesn't hurt anvone."
Watson's implicit idea is that following the law is not a moral question. Instead, each person must choose the laws to follow based on what legal punishments they are willing to risk.
Thus, selling pot isn't bad because it's illegal — it's bad because you might get punished. This is a philosophy that following the law is optional based on risk-reward analysis. Unfortunately, it's a defective philosophy, both socially and ethically.
Socially, Watson's attitude leads to increased crime and increased law enforcement costs.
If obeying the law is a matter of risk-reward analysis, then people will frequently commit crimes, since there is not much chance of punishment. The probability of being caught speeding, littering or stealing is often quite low. In contrast, the benefits of these activities, in terms of personal enrichment or convenience, are immediate and sure. Why not take the risk?
Joe Pull
opinion@kansan.com
GUESTCOMMENTARY
When the "following the law is
optional based on risk-reward analysis logic is adopted by everyone, problems quickly mount because people have different ideas of which laws can be ignored.
The result is litter everywhere, no secure property, more car accidents, etc. We are forced to spend more on repairing the consequences and on law enforcement.
Optional observation of the law benefits the individual, but it damages everyone.
Besides the pragmatic consequences of the optional view of the law there are also ethical problems.
Society benefits when everyone obeys the law out of a sense of duty rather than as a risk-reward analysis—there are less of crime's negative social consequences.
Citizens are obligated to obey the law so long as the law itself is not morally objectionable. Being part of a civilized society, thereby gaining the benefits of that society, confirms an obligation to respect that society's laws.
America would need few uniformed police officers if it had 280 million citizens each policing themselves. Even from a purely pragmatic, economic perspective, obeying laws we don't like makes social sense.
Watson's idea that selling pot is dumb because you might get caught is wrong.
Selling pot is dumb because it's unethical. It's unethical because it violates the law, and because the optional view of observing the law is defective both pragmatically and ethically — regardless of whether selling pot hurts anyone or not.

Mohammed Malahifi, a senior from Aleppo, Syria, said the new regulations were no surprise, but the emphasis on international students, particularly those from Arab nations, borders on discrimination.
"They have a right to protect their security, but at the same time, they could be more fair about it," he said. "If they're going to do it, do it right."
Immigration and Naturalization Services now requires certain noncitizens from several middle-eastern nations, including Iran, Iraq and Syria, to go through "special registration." These people, which include men ages 16 and older, are photographed, fingerprinted and interviewed.
At KU, International Student and Scholar Services must explain the rules to the University's more than 3,000 international students. It's important that all of them, from incoming freshmen to graduate students, understand the law, said Joe Potts, director of international services.

Mariane Hovgaard, a graduate student from Veijle, Denmark, was a group leader at the New International Student Orientation, a 10-day introduction to the United States, Kansas and KU.
Thanasis Seouros, Lymbia, Cyprus, junior, said the regulations he had to follow, like being restricted to working on campus, are expected and understandable in light of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
But this fall's orientation, the third that Hovgaard has worked, may not have reached all new international students.
"Even if you're good in English, when people speak fast and use slang and terms that are very specific, it can go over your head," Hovgaard said.
Not all students attended, and some of those students who were there may not have understood or paid attention, Hovgaard said.
Red tape nightmare
International students must follow a certain set of conditions, including reporting changes of address and major and staying enrolled in 12 credit hours. These regulations existed before the passage of the PATRIOT Act and other new laws, but the penalties for noncompliance will
Potts said the tighter regulations controlled the conditions of staying "in status," or the requirements of staying in the country, and what happens if an international student falls out of status.

be harsher. Potts said.
A proposed rule that goes into effect next year may make it more difficult for international students to seek reinstatement after violating one of the terms of their visas.
If an international student falls out of status now, he or she can fill out a reinstatement form, follow instructions like showing proof of progress towards a degree, and pay a $140 fee. In most cases, the INS approved these petitions, Potts said.
The new rule almost eliminates the paper application for reinstatement. Starting next year, students who drop out of status may have to leave the United States, reapply for a visa and sit out at least a semester of classes Potts said.
Raed Al Bibbisi will graduate about a year later than expected after waiting months for his visa.
Al Bilbissi, a senior from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, went home early last summer to renew his visa. The Saudi Arabian company that is paying for his education warned that the renewal process would take five weeks.
It took five months. And Al Bilbissi was lucky. Of the 70 students sponsored by the company, Al Bilbissi said he was one of less than 20 who was able to renew his visa. The rest are still waiting, he said.
Waiting was the worst part, Al Bilbissi said. When he called the embassy about his visa, he repeatedly was told the same thing: "We'll call you back."
He started to worry that he would never complete his computer science degree at KU. Two years of hard work would amount to nothing.
"Itwould destroy me," he said.
"I don't think I could start all over again."
Potts said about 20 international students at KU were unable to get back into the country this fall after going home. Most of those students, like Al Bilbissi, have resolved their visa problems and will return in time
"If the policies we put in place to monitor international students in the long run leave a bad taste in students' mouths, the loss is incalculable."

Starting in January, universities nationwide will begin using an Internet-based program that will notify the INS with the click of a return key about a student's change in status.
The program, called the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System or SEVIS, has been in the works for years. Potts said. Sept. 11 sped up the process of replacing the old paper-based system.
The University is spending $80,000 to cover the costs of starting the program, including hiring a new employee to run it. The money came from $8.6 million set aside from the tuition increase to make improvements throughout the University and was given to international services to ensure that its programs weren't hurt by the costs of adopting SEVIS.
An 1-94 card is given to an international visitor upon arrival into the country. The card contains the date of entry and the required departure date. International students are required to carry them at all times.
Potts admitted the old tracking system was flawed. Several of the Sept. 11 hijackers were in the United States on student visas, and two of the hijackers were awarded student visas in March, six months after they died in the attacks.
But Potts is concerned the
tracking system and tougher rules may push international students to study in other countries.
International students bring different points of view to American universities, Potts said. Domestic students can learn a lot from international students, and vice versa. Friendship between international and domestic students improves the relationship between the United States and other nations, he said.
"If the policies we put in place to monitor international students in the long run leave a bad taste in students' mouths, the loss is incalculable," Potts said.
Saouros and Malahifji both said most of their American friends didn't understand the rules that international students must follow.
"When they hear about it, it sounds stupid and ridiculous," Malahiffi said.
All international students must keep track of their "papers." They must ensure their passports, which contain their visa information, are valid and not expired. They also must carry with them at all times their I-94, a small white card that identifies them as international students.
Although these rules are not new, they were often overlooked before Sept. 11, Potts said.
Saouros staplen his I-94 card into his passport for safekeeping. He rarely carries either document for fear of losing them, because replacing a lost I-94 or passport would be difficult.
Saouros is at KU on an exchange program. Exchange students must be approved by the government to have a job. He had to ask permission from the government to get his job grading math tests.
"I don't want to find out how much paperwork I would have to fill out," he said.
Other international students who are on an academic student visa, like Malahifji, can work on
campus without permission, but laws prohibit any international student from working off campus.
International students are guaranteed certain rights, Hardesty of KU Legal Services said.
If approached by the police, FBI or INS, an international student has the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and the Fourth Amendment right to be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Because international students do not have the right to a government-appointed attorney, Hardesty recommends that international students seek legal advice from an attorney if they think they are in trouble.
Rights for international visitors can be fuzzy, Hardesty said. For example, it is unlawful discrimination to search someone at an airport solely because of his or her appearance, but it happens anyway.
"A lot of times, international students get treated differently," Hardesty said. "And not in a good way."
Singled out
Hovgaard speaks with little trace of an accent and said many people were surprised to learn she's an international student and not "one of us."The "us"and "them" distinction has been sharpened in the past 15 months, she said.
"I know it's not meant in that way, but it makes you feel pretty awkward," Hovgaard said.
Even when it's not consciously done, the idea of "us" and "them" can be discriminatory, she said.
"You're sort of implying that difference makes me inferior," Hovgaard said.
Some international students are treated worse than others, Malahifji said. For example, the students who had to sit out a semester waiting to get back in the country were Arabs.
"I see all these people not getting back, and I don't want to be one of those guys. I want to finish what I came for," Malahifji said. "Imagine being here four years and not getting back in."
FORMS OF IDENTIFICATION
Visa: a permit that authorizes a visit in another country. The visa is placed in the passport.
1-94: a white card issued when an international visitor arrives in the United States. The card is collected when the visitor leaves.The card includes the date of arrival and the date when the card expires.
Passport: a booklet that certifies a person's identity and citizenship.
Al Bibbissi knows the feeling. Technically, home might be in Saudi Arabia, but for the past two years, his life has been in Lawrence.
"For me, I had my girlfriend, I had my car, I had my house," he said. "I had everything."
Like Malahifi, Al Bilbissiwon't be returning home any time soon.
"Not until I finish. Not again. Something might happen," he said. "It's like risking my life. It's everything I've got."
Saouros, who visits his family in Cyprus twice a year, suspects his appearance triggers suspicion at airports, and the random searches no longer surprise him.
The airport staff is, for the most part, professional and not aggressive, he said. After enduring several searches in the two times he has been home since Sept. 11, Saouros has gotten used to them.
"It's no longer a coincidence," he said. "I get checked every time."

Educators want regional education districts
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Two superintendents hope their proposal for a regional education district ignites a serious debate about school consolidation and inequities in how the state distributes its aid.
"With the continued decline in enrollment in many of our school districts, it is obvious that without restructuring, education opportunities will degrade," Ken Kennedy, superintendent in Pratt, said.
Kennedy and Manhattan superintendent Sharol Little have spent the past couple of years working on a plan to reorganize the state's 303 school districts. They used business models from
McDonald's, Wal-Mart and regional hospitals as their guide.
The plan would create regional education districts by collapsing smaller districts into ones covering larger areas. That would allow for better use of resources with fewer buildings, activities, operating budgets, administrators and school boards, they argue.
"It's time for the Legislature to take a look at it," Little said.
Even as Kennedy and Little try to sell their proposal, two western Kansas districts have come to the conclusion that they cannot survive alone. Tomorrow, the State Board of Education is to act on a request by the Bazine and Ransom school districts to consolidate.
Kennedy and Little have been pitching the plan around Kansas.
The districts, located in Ness County, will have a combined enrollment of 223 students, 129 at Ransom and 94 in Bazine. The entire county, with four districts, has an enrollment of about 560 students.
Within the last year, the West Graham-Morland district has dissolved to become part of the Hill City district as enrollments declined and keeping schools open became difficult.
School consolidation has been a bitter subject in Kansas for four decades, and legislators hesitate even to discuss it. A 1963 state law ordered consolidation, and it was upheld by the courts in 1965.
By 1969, 1,850 districts had been winnowed down to only 310.
Kennedy said many communities still feared a loss of identity with further consolidation.
"It's the idea that the entire community really revolves around their school." he said.
In 2001, legislators and the state board received a consultant's support which suggested that 50 of the state's school districts could be collapsed to improve education and make the allocation of dollars more efficient. Legislators did little with the $200,000 report.
Kennedy and Little have reached similar conclusions in their report, which they completed on their own time for little
more than $1,000. They hope that given the state's budget crisis, either plan gets serious consideration.
Gov. Bill Graves has already trimmed nearly $120 million from the fiscal 2003 budget, including $17.5 million from schools. The renewed consolidation buzz hints that fewer districts will mean a savings to the state when dollars are tight.
Kennedy and Little say the savings will not be as substantial as legislators might hope but could allow for the better allocation of limited resources.
To encourage the new districts, the superintendents say financial incentives are necessary, including funding for the transfer of
school property to other entities They also believe penalties should be considered for districts that won't consolidate.
But, they said, a revised formula for distributing state aid, now at $2.3 billion, must consider rural districts that are too isolated and small to consolidate.
Little said the state spends $220 million to provide extra funds to its smallest districts, simply because they have relatively few students.
Consolidation could eliminate that need and improve the quality of education for all size districts, Little said.
"We want to see a better use of the money," she said. "We are advocating for a better solution."
Kansas prepares for war
The Associated Press
WICHITA — On a bitter-cold field at Fort Riley, a U.S. Army tank the color of desert sand glides past Capt. Aaron Cichocki.
The 28-year-old tank company commander wears a pistol strapped across his chest and smiles widely at the armored giant, an M1A1 Abrams. "Seventy tons, stops on a dime," he says. "It's a Cadillac."
After a day of standing in a tank turret, dust fills the pores of his chatted face. He feels the rush of having just finished an exercise involving about 20 tanks, 20 artillery pieces, 15 armed infantry vehicles and 700 active-duty soldiers—firing live rounds.
The exercise, using equipment from the Gulf War, comes as the prospect of combat against Iraq looms again. If President Bush calls for war, some of America's soldiers could be deployed from the Kansas post, says Col. Frank Helmick, Fort Riley's acting commanding general.
Located in the nation's center with superior railway, highway and airfield access. Fort Riley serves as a platform for deploying soldiers and equipment.
The fort always prepares for war, Helmick says, with a standing message to soldiers; "This might be the last chance you get to train before being deployed."
After the live-fire training Wednesday, Col. Russ Gold reminded officers that they never know whether "the next time you maneuver, it will either be in the Mojave (Calif.) Desert or the Iraqi desert."
Now, with arms inspectors in Iraq and talk of war dominating headlines, the fort is receiving calls from national media interested in its operations, said Deb Skidmore; a Fort Riley spokeswoman.
In nearby Junction City, long accustomed to regular vibrations from the fort's firing ranges, residents and community leaders say they have sensed no change in mood at the fort and have seen no
clear sign of a mobilization;
So far, there has been no spike in marriage-license applications at the Geary County Courthouse, which occurred before the Gulf War.
But at Dick Edwaros Auto Plaza, co-owner Janice Edwards said she wonders if car sales could be down partly because soldiers are reluctant to buy when they may be sent to war
When the fort sent forces to the Persian Gulf more than a decade ago, many of the soldiers' families returned to their hometowns during their absence.
Businesses from Junction City to Manhattan suffered because they lost a whole population of customers overnight. The economic impact rippled. Edwards had to lay off four to five employees.
Since Desert Storm, the fort's makeup has changed significantly.
Fort Riley no longer is headquarters for the famed 1st Infantry Division, now based in Germany, although the Kansas post still retains a brigade of that unit.
The fort is headquarters for the 24th Infantry Division (Mechanized) and offers training for combat units, engineers, and Reserve and National Guard troops from around the nation.
It houses roughly 10,500 active-duty soldiers and 12,000 family members and employs 3,900 civilians. It calls itself the 16th largest city in Kansas.
Much of the fort's operations and expertise are focused on tanks and other armored vehicles.
A massive armored exercise like Wednesday's occurs only a couple of times a year. Fort Riley, with a training area spread across 70,000 acres of rolling prairie, is one of a few posts large enough to hold such training.
The maneuvers test the ability of tanks, armed troop carriers and artillery to coordinate live fire.
Over about a day's time, vehicles and soldiers must move and fire in a concerted, methodical way across miles and miles of terrain, through enemy obstacles, to
attack dug-in forces.
Spacing between the firing vehicles is crucial. Gaps can allow the imaginary enemy to infiltrate. A vehicle out of place could become a casualty of "friendly fire."
Doors at the rear of Bradley Fighting Vehicles lower, and soldiers rush out in full combat gear, carrying M-16s.
The enemy is imaginary, the targets are wooden or plastic, but the ammunition is real.
The foot soldiers clear the enemy out of tree lines.
Clouds of pale smoke rise in the distance over tan- and rust-colored fields crisscrossed by the dust trails left by tanks and troop carriers.
The M1A1 Abrams tanks, some with plows that can shove aside mines, provide safe paths and a sense of security for the ground soldiers and smaller vehicles around them.
Although seemingly indestructible, the tanks depend on the foot soldier to root out an enemy infantryman who can hide in tall grass with an anti-tank weapon.
Through binoculars and from a watch tower, commanders watch the soldiers' attack exercise, noting every move.
At a critique session afterward, Gold, the colonel, stresses the need for quickly sharing accurate battlefield information and for constantly being aware of where the enemy might ambush. Always think ahead, he reminds them.
Spc. Adam Kurtz, from Idaho, hops down from one tank and reflects on the day's training — as close as it gets to the real thing.
"As long as you're moving, you're alive," he says. "Otherwise, you become a target. ... If you can be seen, you can be shot."
"This," he says, "is what we join the Army for, to drive these tanks, to fight."
Guam blasted by typhoon
The Associated Press
HAGATNA, Guam — A day after Guam was raked by a severe typhoon with wind gusts estimated at more than 180 mph, the U.S. territory today asked for a federal disaster declaration.
Although Typhoon Pongsona had moved away from the island. Guam still was being shaken by wind up to 70 mph.
No deaths were reported, but the entire island was without electricity, and water and sewer systems aren't expected to be fully operational for several weeks. Gov. Carl Gutierrez said today.
"There is no doubt that the impact of this latest storm will be devastating," Gutierrez said in a letter asking President Bush to declare Guam a federal disaster area.
Typhoon Pongsona hit Guam on Sunday, covering the islands for hours. The sustained wind speed estimated at 150 mph around the eye of the storm gave Pongsona "supertyphoon" status. The storm blasted some
spots with gusts up to 184 mph, officials said.
Barrigada resident Jackie Cabrera said her brother's house lost its roof and his mother-in-law's house also lost part of the roof.
"They ran over here during the typhoon," she said. "When they were running here, the wind was pushing against them. My other brother had to go out to the porch to pull them into the house."
A wind speed of 117 mph was clocked before the National Weather Service's wind sensor failed, along with its radar.
Gutierrez said it would take some time to determine the typhoon's full impact on island infrastructure because of the extent of the damage and the limited number of engineers available to do surveys.
"The situation is that we have a very severe storm lasting for a very long time," said governor's spokesman John Ryan. "After a storm of this severity, we are looking at a lot of damage — a lot of things loose and to the point where 40 mile winds and 50 mile
gusts might snap something off that normally it would not."
Eight people reported missing after a fire at the fuel tank farm operated by Mobil Oil Micronesia were later accounted for, officials said.
Earlier today, the storm was centered about 100 miles due west of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. Saipan is about 100 miles northwest of Guam.
It still had wind blowing at a sustained 150 mph as it moved toward the north-northwest, said Capt. Robert Leejoice of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The National Weather Service on Guam said wind would continue blowing 40 mph to 60 mph today with gusts as high as 70 mph.
Guam is located west of the international date line, about 3,700 miles southwest of Hawaii.
The storm's eye crossed the northern end of Guam, but the entire island was hit by at least part of the storms' eye wall, which contains the strongest wind.

N.C. power outages lead to deaths
DURHAM, N.C. — In a region left dark and cold by a major ice storm, National Guard volunteers went door to door yesterday to show residents how to safely heat their homes after two people died of carbon monoxide poisoning while trying to keep warm.
More than 200 people have sought medical help for carbon monoxide poisoning since the ice storm downed trees and power lines Thursday.
Utility work crews had made progress in getting power restored to darkened homes.
Duke Power, which had 1.3 million customers in the Carolinas without electricity after the
ice storm Thursday, had restored power to more than half of them as of early yesterday afternoon. It reported 76,200 power outages in Durham as of yesterday morning, down from 108,900 immediately after the storm. However, Duke said it would take it until midnight Wednesday before a majority of its Durham customers had service restored.
Carolina Power & Light, which serves most of the state east of Durham, was still working to return power to about 142,000 customers. The state's rural electric cooperatives reported about 19,000 without power yesterday.
About 4,300 utility workers from 15 states are assisting efforts to restore power.
Gov. Mike Easley said soldiers
National Guardsmen reminded residents that emergency shelters were open and offered kind words of hope.
A 31-year-old man died and at least seven people in the same Durham apartment were hospitalized Saturday, police said. They were burning charcoal on a grill indoors to keep warm.
In Shelby, a man died and his wife was hospitalized after they ran a generator on an enclosed sun porch, police said.
Thirty deaths, mostly traffic-related, have been blamed on the storm and its aftermath.

Cheney neighbors disturbed by construction
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Neighbors of Vice President Dick Cheney are being shaken and rattled at least once a day by mysterious blasts at the U.S. Naval Observatory where Cheney lives.
The Navy says the explosions are part of a construction project that has been going on for several months now, but won't say more because the project is classified.
Navy spokeswoman Cate
Mueller described the work as an "infrastructure improvement, a utility upgrade."
She said they have tried to reassure the neighborhood, which includes the Washington residence of former President Bill and Sen. Hillary Clinton, that the blasts will not damage their homes. She said most understand that, because of national security concerns, they can't reveal details or confine the construction to a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule.
Joseph Rieser, who lives a halfblock off Observatory Circle, said each blast was "almost like thunder because it rolls and it lasts a noticeable period, probably several seconds." It said the explosions rattle windows that aren't shut tight.
He said his concern was that neighbors received no forewarning of the project. "If this were a normal construction contract I would expect that they would have told the neighbors."
Mueller acknowledged that they were "not as aggressive upfront in warning" neighbors about the project.
She said the construction is expected to last another eight months, and for the time being there will be one or two blasts a day, each lasting about three to five seconds.
The blasts were being carefully monitored to assure they were well under acceptable vibration standards so there would be no
damage to either nearby residences or to facilities at the observatory, she said.
The Naval Observatory moved to its present location on Massachusetts Ave. in Northwest Washington in 1893. The vice president took up residence on the site in 1974. It houses the master clock of the United States and telescopes dating back to a time when it was one of the premier astronomical observatories in the world.
The Washington Post, which
reported the issue Sunday, said David Gillard, the observatory's superintendent, had sent the local neighborhood commission a letter noting that "due to its sensitive nature in support of national security and homeland defense, project specific information is classified and cannot be released."
Jennifer Millerwise, a spokeswoman for the vice president, referred questions about the project to the Navy.
European Union passes tanker ban to prevent oil spills
The Associated Press
BRUSSELS, Belgium European Union nations agreed Friday to ban singlehull tankers carrying heavy fuel in their waters, an effort to prevent disasters like the devastating oil spill off the coast of Spain.
The ban will come into force next month as part of a package of measures rushed through by EU transport ministers after the Prestige oil tanker cracked, spilling millions of gallons of fuel oil onto Spain's Atlantic beaches. It then broke into two pieces and sank.
"We want to avoid these ecological bombs being able to sail in our waters," said EU Transport Commissioner Loyola de Palacio.
That ban is likely to come into force in 2010, de Palacio said.
Under the agreement, the 15 EU nations will also enact a total ban on single-hulled vessels over 15 years old.
The EU also declared its ports immediately off limits to 66 ships listed as particularly dangerous.
The EU plans to set up "safety zones" that would keep out dangerous ships and introduce a $1 billion fund to help areas stricken by oil slicks.
It's not known how effective that will be.
A Spanish research institute. Home of the Employed Foundation, said more than 50
blacklisted cargo ships have entered Spanish ports over the past 10 days despite pledges to keep them out.
De Palacio brushed aside fears from the Netherlands that the ban on single-hulled vessels could jeopardize fuel supplies, saying 50 percent of tankers worldwide already had double hulls and that the percentage was growing.
Heavy fuels represent just 7 percent of oil carried by tankers, she said.
The ministers also issued a warning to skippers and shipping companies.
"Any person who has caused or contributed to a pollution incident through grossly negligent behavior should be subject to appropriate sanctions," they said in a statement.
EU environmental commissioner Margot Wallstrom, visiting the affected northwestern coastline, offered Friday to send foreign experts to the area.
"I would like the Spanish government to accept a team of experts to look at the effects both in the mid-and the longterm of the accident, and we also offer to make an environmental study." Wallstrom told reporters after visiting a bird rescue center.
"What has happened is a criminal act and the guilty ones should assume their responsibility, those who pollute should have to pay," she said.

United to keep flying even if bankrupt
CHICAGO—United Airlines' pilots union urged travelers yesterday not to abandon the world's No.2 carrier if it files for federal bankruptcy court protection.
The plea came as United's board of directors, which would need to approve a bankruptcy filing, was reportedly scheduled to meet in special session for a second straight day.
"We're going to be flying airplanes, today, tomorrow, next week and next year," pilots spokesman Herb Hunter said. "We don't want people to give up on us, because we're going to come through this."
flying under Chapter 11. Union leaders have told their members a bankruptcy filing is imminent and unavoidable, and CEO Glenn Tilton has told employees it was becoming "amore likely outcome."
The airline has pledged to keep
United spokesman Joe Hopkins, reached at company headquarters, refused to confirm the board would meet Sunday and said the carrier had no comment.
But union sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said directors would resume a meeting that Hopkins would only say had "recessed" Saturday afternoon.
United, based in suburban Elk Grove Village is on a pace to lose an industry-record $2.5 billion this year and had warned for
"We're going to be flying airplanes, today, tomorrow, next week and next year. We don't want people to give up on us because we're going to come through this."
Herb Hunter United Airlines pilots spokesman
months that a bankruptcy filing was likely if it didn't get a $1.8 billion federal loan guarantee. The Air Transportation Stabilization Board rejected the request Wednesday.
The Chapter 11 filing would be
the largest airline bankruptcy ever and one of the biggest bankrupties in U.S. history.
"This is going to be painful for the stockholders and the employees, but the airline's going to keep flying and we're going to come out of this stronger," Hunter said. "The passengers shouldn't notice any difference."
United proposed $5.2 billion in labor cutbacks by 2008 in its pitch to the government stabilization board, but the three-member panel found the business plan was not financially sound.
United's 83.000 employees own 55 percent of the company. The carrier's stock closed at 93 cents a share Friday on the New York Stock Exchange.
Contract dispute continues on West Coast
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The bitter contract dispute that closed West Coast ports for 10 days this fall isn't over yet.
Members of the dockworkers' union still must approve the tentative contract their representatives signed last month, and going into a union caucus that begins today. signs are that's far from automatic.
That's because in the fiercely democratic International Longshore and Warehouse Union, such gatherings are traditionally raucous, ranging debates. Whats more, this year's landmark contract is a tinderbox because it would usher in new cargo-tracking technology that costs about 400 union jobs in the short term.
"I would be alarmed if there weren't people voicing objections, then I'd be concerned," union spokesman Steve Stallone said. "The only way for this to pass and work is that the members own it."
About 80 delegates from Seattle to San Diego will convene here to entertain their negotiating committee's explanation of the contract before they pelt them with questions. On Friday, delegates will recommend that the union's 10,500 members either reject or approve the contract. The rank and file will cast their ballots in January.
The contract comes with heavy buggage.
It took a federal mediator to coax the deal from a conflict that included the lockout, which President Bush ended in October by ordering both sides back to work.
Already, the ports handle $300
billion worth of cargo each year; a volume that's expected to swell with Pacific Rim trade. Shipping companies argued the ports are inefficient and demanded that the negotiations yield a plan to modernize the 29 major Pacific ports with new computer technology.
One part of the answer was a package that includes average dockworker salaries hovering around $100,000—instead of the current $80,000—and unusually generous retirement plans.
The other part was language on technology that is vague enough to give the union and shipping companies a plausible victory.
Those are precisely the gray areas that worry Jack Heyman, a caucus member from San Francisco who opposes the contract.
He has no quarrel with the
pensions, health care and other benefits.
Instead, Heyman said, of particular concern was its length six years, double the norm and whether the union gets jurisdiction over jobs created by new technologies.
"This is a rapidly changing industry," Heyman said. "We don't know where this is leading, so to have a contract of six years is like heading a ship through narrow straits without navigational charts."
In Seattle, a local union chapter leader said he expected a raucous caucus, but that ultimately the contract would pass.
"There's going to be hot and heavy debate and there's issues," said local Vice President Del Bates. "There's always that in our ranks. And we've got a contract so far."

Let's zoom in on the person on the left. They are sitting on a couch, looking at something with their eyes. They appear to be a young adult, possibly a teenager or a young woman.
Next to them is another person standing near the bed. They are facing the camera and seem to be looking at the camera.
The third person is sitting on a chair, looking down at some objects in front of them. It looks like they are working on a project or doing something creative.

There 's no place like home
This is the true story, of eleven young adults, who picked a University, and had their lives examined by a reporter. Find out what happens when they've moved out on their own , and start living for real.
Story by Louise Stauffer ● Photos by Eric Braem
The Real World jokes aside, what follows is a sampling of students who have chosen different places to live. Where they live affects how they live their lives.
Many students want to leave eliques and comfort zones in high school, along with sneaking out of the house late at night and forging sick notes. But many people end up choosing lifestyles in college that ensure they are living with people just like themselves.
Jack Brehm, professor of psychology, said people had a tendency to like others that are similar to themselves, especially in regards to general values like religion.
"There are cultural differences that people become accustomed to." he said.
Find out the differences, big and small, between available living situations in college; a sorority, a scholarship hall, a dorm, a commune, and a downtown house.
Birds of a feather.
Evan Lance, Shawnee sophomore has lived in the Sunflower House, 1406 Tennessee St., since September. Lance said if he's not at class or work, he's at home with his 30 other housemates enjoying the large number of politicallyactive people in the house.
Lance described the political views of most house members, including himself, as being "pretty liberal."
Brian Mitchell, Lawrence resident, lives in the Sunflower house as well. But he said he finds some flaws with life in the house.
Although he enjoys the cheap cost of living,he feels out of place socially.
"I'm not in the core circle of
people who hang out here," he said. "There's definitely cliques."
But Mitchell said that he did not come to the house to make friends. He moved there because of the cost
is rarely home, and when he is, he spends time in his room, he said.
On-campus living has a more inclusive nature.

"I'm not in the core circle of people who hang out
Deaver, Olathe senior, has lived in the Battenfeld Scholarship Hall, 1425 Alumni Place, since he was a freshman. He said he liked the sense of community the scholarship hall provides.
Deaver said he had an equal number of friends in and out of scholarship halls. Those who live elsewhere he knows from high school or other campus organizations.
Scholarship halls, like fraternities and sororities, have social functions exclusive to their group. But Deaver said there was one big difference between the greek system and scholarship halls; money.
"It's a class thing," he said. "Fraternities tend to appeal to those who can afford them."
Abby Randall, Omaha junior, lives in the Sigma Kappa house, 1325 West Campus Rd. Many of her friends aren't in sororities, but she said she had to make an effort to keep friends that live outside of her sorority.
"I think I'm lucky to have a
good balance," she said

Randall acknowledged that some girls only had friends in the sorority.

work, or previous roommates.
House Rules
Living in a house means she has to find all her friends on her own. Besides her two rooms, she said her friends were from school.
Some people feel lost or uncomfortable without rules or structure, said Brehm. That might correlate with whether one grew up with strict parents or lenient ones.
But on campus, all housing has rules. For example, no alcohol is allowed on campus; so for the dorms, scholarship halls, fraternities and sororites, drinking is either done in secret or not at all.
Randall said she was glad that alcohol wasn't allowed in the house. She said with 69 other house mates, things could get out of control if drinking was allowed.
Off campus, the rules about alcohol and drugs are more ambiguous.
"It would just be nuts," she said.
When students live
One of the problems this semester was loud music. Because they all had to get up early some days, Kaytis said she and her roommates figured out a way to let each other know when the music had to be turned down.
When problems arise at her home on Rhode Island street, Kaytis said she and her roommates hold "family meetings".
In the Sunflower House, the goal is to keep the cops out, Lance said.
And of course, house money cannot be spent on alcohol.
When one house member has to get up early, they make it known on the chart, so the others know not to blast the speakers.
"We made a chart of music loudness," she said.
Kaytis and her roommates also decided on chore duties. Hers is sweeping, while the other two take care of cleaning the bathroom and the kitchen.
Brian Mitchell, Lawrence resident, practices his guitar in his pint-sized room in the Sunflower House, 1406 Tennessee St.
Although they're all considered adults, Sigma Kappa members have a rule that no male is normally allowed upstairs. Randall said that if there was an exception, such as a maintenance man, "man on floor" must be yelled to warn the girls. Men are allowed in the public areas of the house.
Let's Talk About Sex
"That's why a lot of girls don't sleep here, they're at their bovriends," she said.
Stephanie Swenson, Concordia junior and Sigma Kappa member, said at first she found the rule frustrating, but it controlled potential problems.
In the dorms and men's scholarship halls, there are no rules about girls in the bedroom, except clearing it with your roommate.
Deaver said he and the other scholarship hall guys dated women who lived in scholarship halls as well.
Neece and his roommates made two rules. One was no sex in the room. So far, the agreement has not been broken, he said. The other rule was to clean every Sunday.
"It's definitely true we date more girls in school halls," he said. "We're more likely tohavesimilar interests."
It's the same at the Sunflower House.
But even if a relationship ends, people need to be able to work together, she said. Communication on household matters is necessary, even if you just broke up.
"It's hard when you're sharing bills," she said.

"It's definitely more girls in. We're more likely to have similar interests."

"In that same proximity, you experience all of the discomforts associated with terminating a relationship," he said.

Each semester brings a new crop of freshman who have to decide for themselves how they are going to live. Whether the choice is a house with 70 other women, or a single bedroom apartment, college is a time where they will get to choose exactly what they want. And who they want to be.

Freshman guard Aquanita Burras searches for a passing lane against Texas Southern. Burras netted 15 points in the first half Friday and finished with 18 in the Jav Hawks win over the Tigers.
Rowing gives glory to females
John Crider, a former Kansas hoopster, practiced six hours a day in high school, relentlessly perfecting his skills and making himself the best-conditioned athlete on the court.
He still struggled to find playing time at Kansas and was painfully forced to demote himself to the Division-II ranks at Washburn University.
It's too bad Crider wasn't a woman. He could've just joined the rowing team;
Rowing, the love child of Title IX and the athletics departments at Title IX's mercy, is a Division-I athletics joke. If you played a couple sports in high school and you're female, rowing could be your new best friend.
It's not easy to become a Division-I athlete. In many cases, it helps to have size. It sure helps to have natural athleticism. More important than either of those, though, you have to work your tail off, refining your skills and making yourself elite, making sure you stand out when coaches come to observe.
Only then would the possibility exist that you could actually go to school, play the sport you love, get a discount on education and proudly boast that you are a Division-I athlete.
Not anymore. Now we have rowing.
You. Miss Decent Female High School Athlete, can now be Division-I caliber.
You have rowing.
If your dreams were once crushed by terrible free-throw shooting, slow 200-meter dash, or the inability to hit a riseball, you have a second chance.
It's a sad day when one can walk in and participate in a sport for the first time at the Division-I level. Thirty-six rowers on Kansas' varsity squad in 2002 were profiled in the media guide. Half of them had not rowed competitively before college.
To their credit, most of these women are very good athletes. They're strong as bulls, they have a lot of stamina, and I'm almost certain that rowing coaches nationwide condition these women until they puke.
But many males have the same attributes and the same desire to push the limits just to say they're a Division-I athlete. They're stuck paying full price for their college and playing pickup basketball at Robinson Gymnasium.
Yet all the Title IX supporters think it is fair. Title IX wasn't originally meant for athletics, but somehow, the vagueness of its wording pulled athletics into its hell.
If Division I sports have to live with it, how about we just take football scholarships out of the equation? After all, in most schools, football makes the dreaded Title IX concept feasible, bringing in all the cash that's spent on ... well, boats.
Omit football scholarships, and ridiculous sports like rowing don't get the chance to tarnish Division I athletics.
But that's not likely to happen. As a result, one thing is certain: the day my beautiful baby daughter is born, I'm tossing an oar into her crib.
The answer, of course, is no.
Is it really fair to the male wrestler and the male soccer player whose lifetime of hard work and dreams of being a Division-I athlete were dashed by Title IX? In the same breath, is it fair that women are given scholarship money for competing in a sport they heard of only a couple years earlier?
It may turn out to be a good investment.

Women split weekend games
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team proved two things at the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic this weekend — it can put points on the board and it's still learning.
The Jayhawks (4-1) dropped a heartbreaking 48-46 loss to Western Illinois University in the championship game after crushing Texas Southern University 83-45 on Friday night.
The Texas Southern game didn't start as a blowout. Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras hit a game-opening three pointer, but the Tigers scored 10 straight points. The 10-3 advantage was their largest of game.
Led by Burras' 15 first half points, the Jayhawks gained a 19-18 advantage with 6:28 left in the half. They never trailed again.
Kansas's young legs and zone defense turned 31 Texas Southern turnovers into 32 points and removed any opportunity of a close game. The entire Kansas lineup
scored at least one basket and dominated the smaller Tigers defensively.
Tamara Ransburg, 6-foot-4 freshman forward, led the defensive effort, blocking eight shots and altering many others.
"Something in my head just tells me to go, and I go," Ransburg said of erasing opponents' shots.
Riding the momentum of an 84-76 upset against previously undefeated Western Michigan, Western Illinois University (4-2) jumped out to a 13-5

Newcomers catapult team to 4-1
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan Sportswinter
Many might think that a 5-25 campaign last year for the Kansas women's basketball team would be hard to forget, but a trio of newcomers are clouding those memories.
Freshman guard Erica Hallman, freshman forward Tamara Ransburg and sophomore guard Aquanita Burras each made an impression at the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic this weekend.
Whether it was Ransburg rejecting shots, Hallman dishing out no-look passes, or Burras casually draining a jumpshot, these three fresh faces are moving the team farther and farther away from last season's dismal record. The team is now 4-1.
“Our chemistry with each other bonded since the first day we got here, so you know when we brought it onto the court,” Burras said. “We just knew how to read each other.”
Friday's 83-45 win against Texas Southern roused excitement from the Allen Fieldhouse crowd as the Jayhawks clicked for the game's final 37 minutes. Even in Saturday's loss to Western Illinois there was no short supply of breathtaking plays from the young Jayhawks.
Burras led the team in scoring in both games, averaging 18.5 points per game for the weekend. Her scoring outburst earned her the tournament MVP award.
Coming off the bench, Hallman showed both finesse and intelligence.
The finesse was displayed with a baseball pass to sophomore guard Blair Waltz for an easy layup Friday, while Hallman's quick thinking was showcased by diving on a loose ball and calling a timeout with time dwindling at the end of Saturday's loss.
"It's kind of like a gift, it's nothing you can teach." Hallman said of her passing skills. "I just see things better than other people. I'd rather have 20 assists than 20 points."

Men's 'moral victory' falls short

OREGON
By Jessica Scott jscott@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
PORTLAND — The sweat streaked across the floor was the only thing the Jayhawks left on the court after an all-out battle against No. 7 Oregon Saturday afternoon.
Kansas fought from behind for almost all of the 40 minutes, but in the face of 51 combined points from the Ducks' duo of Luke Ridnour and Luke Jackson, Oregon handed the Jayhawks their third loss of the season — 84-78.
In a game littered with loose basketballs and smothering defense, it looked at times more like a wrestling match than a game of nationally ranked programs. Kansas coach Roy Williams said although his team came back to tie Oregon in the second half after a 14-point first-half deficit, moral victories were not enough.
Jared Soares/Kansan
Kansas coach Roy Williams spent much of the game without a smile on his face. The Jayhawks lost 84-78 to the Ducks.
"We competed today like all Kansas teams do," he said, "but I'm not a fan of moral victories, never have been and never will be. We had our chances. We didn't do what we needed to do down the stretch."
The Jayhawks (3-3) trailed by four at halftime, but came back re-energized
after the break. A zone defense held Oregon scoreless for more than two minutes early in the half and allowed Kansas to pull within three at the 14-minute mark.
Senior Nick Collison, who finished with seven points on 3-of-9 shooting, was

Haley's 2:03.24 time, which earned her first place in the 200 butterfly, highlighted the day, and the time was just .05 off her personal best.
"It was a good first step after the Nike Cup in North Carolina," coach Clark Campbell said. "Our goal now is to make progress to getting back to those times from Nike Cup."
Campbell was pleased with the way his team swam, but he knew they could accomplish more.

with the majority being young." he said
Campbell said the best way for the team to be competitive was by veterans leading the team.
"I want all the seniors to go out with best performances of their careers, whether it be in NCAAs or the Big 12 (championship)," Campbell said. "This is a great time for them to take a leadership role."
Over the next month, team members will have to focus on their individual workouts. Campbell said, especially because the team's next race is not until Jan. 18 in Lincoln, Neb.
The team will continue training in Lawrence for
the next week, and, after finals, will go home for 12 days
"I know I have a team that will maintain or exceed expectations over break," he said. "I'm confident we will be at another level that is higher when we get back."
During that time, Campbell said, the team members would need to maintain a commitment to training.
Coach Campbell has organized a trip for the team to train in Acapuleo for eight days, starting Jan. 4.
"We are going to work really hard and put the finishing touches to get fast for the Big 12 races," he said.

This is to Roy Williams, who is the cutest and most adorable basketball coach in the whole entire world. And the University of Maryland sucks, and I'm so upset about leaving Kansas. So, good luck, Kansas. I love you guys.
My friends and I, we were just watching TV, and at the same time thinking about how Kirk Hinrich is not 100 percent because of his back. And then we saw the commercial that will save his career at KU. The Bayer aspirin commercial. Take some.
I just called to say I'm watching ESPN2 NBA developmental league, and Eric Chenowith is playing. He has four points in the third quarter. guess that's what he meant by going to the big time after he left Kansas.

I wasn't allowed to enter the CMSU game because the KU ticket office wouldn't let me in with a bus pass and my student schedule. I didn't have my ID, and they ruined my night. Thank you very much, KU men's basketball ticket holders, you ruined my night.

Hey, this is five girls, sitting in our room watching the KU game, and we came to the consensus that Nick Collison definitely needs to find a tanning bed soon.

Yeah, I was just at the KU basketball game with Central Missouri State, and has anyone else noticed that Baby Jay has put on a little weight? I was wondering, who knocked up Baby Jay? I think it was one of the Crimson Girls.
Did Collison just break up with his girlfriend or something? I mean, why else would he be playing so crappy?

All I have to say that is until KU learns to play perimeter man-to-man defense, we are going to get beat inside every single game we play.

Ok, I'm sitting here watching the KU game on TV, and the CMSU player just took a shot, and he hit only the back boards, and the KU fans started saying "airball." That's not an airball, morons, that's a brick. An airball means that he doesn't hit anything at all. Get it straight.

Holmes leads Chiefs past slumping Rams
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The St. Louis Rams' disappointing season hit a new low yesterday, knocking the defending NFC champions out of playoff contention.
Dante Hall returned a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown, one week after running back a punt 90 yards for a score, as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the injury-depleted Rams 49-10 yesterday.
St. Louis (5-8) lost its third straight after winning five in a row. Any chance the Rams had of making the playoffs ended later when San Francisco rallied to beat Dallas 31-27.
Hall, who'd done almost nothing his first two years in the NFL and battled all through training camp for a spot on the roster, is the second man in the NFL this year to score on two kick returns in a game, and the first Kansas City player to ever do it.
Priest Holmes rushed for 132 yards and scored two touchdowns for the Chiefs (7-6), leaving him just two shy of the NFL record of 26, which the Rams' Marshall Faulk set in 2000.
COLLEGE FOOTBAL Kansas State accepts Holiday Bowl invite
Kansas State, shut out of the Bowl Championship Series despite its No. 6 ranking, accepted a bid yesterday to play in its third Holiday Bowl.
The Wildcats (10-2), who missed a perfect regular season by only seven points after going 6-6 a year ago, will meet unranked Arizona State in the Dec. 27 game at San Diego.
Kansas State's two losses this year were by four points to Colorado and three points to Texas, both bowl-bound teams. The Wildcats, who stayed at No. 6 in the final regular-season poll, were one of only two teams to beat No.5 Southern California.
Kansas State officials, including coach Bill Snyder and university president Jon Wefald, went to Miami on Tuesday to make their case for an at large Orange Bowl bid.

"That's basketball," he said.
"You have to play with who you
have out there on the court. You've got to be able to fight through those kind of things and step up and be a big player on big game days."
Kansas' Kirk Hinrich evolved as Kansas' big player despite a nagging back problem. Hinrich helped tie the game at 74 in the middle of the second half, after leaving two separate times to rest
from cramping muscles. Still, Hinrich played 39 minutes and led Kansas with 24 points. He said his team is not where it wants to be, but the kinks slowly are getting worked out.
"We had the fight tonight that we didn't have in games past," he said. "This team is still trying to find itself, but we're not going to give up."

Williams said his senior guard gave it everything he had.
"Is there a tougher guy out there? I don't think so," he said. "He's ultra-competitive."
Sophomore Michael Lee played a career-high 20 minutes. He came off the bench and scored 11 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out two assists, while Miles struggled, hitting just one of 11 shots and turning the ball over seven times.
Lee said the atmosphere in the Rose Garden — with a crowd of more than 20,000 — inspired him.
"Coach just threw me out there and I just knew all I had to do was go hard and good things would happen." Lee said. "Hopefully I can build on this."
Not since 1979 has Kansas started a season with a 3-3 record. Saturday's outcome was not desirable, said Williams, but he appreciated the opportunity to coach in such a hard-fought game.
"It was a great college atmosphere," he said. "If you love basketball, you have to love everything that was going on out there."

Cheaters invade video games
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Tony Ray knows how cheating can ruin a good time online.
Two years ago, he was among video gamers who regularly conquered rivals in the three-dimensional combat game "Team Fortress."
Then something odd started happening.
Opposing teams acquired supernatural powers. They could see and shoot through walls. Their perfect aim just wasn't humanly possible.
The online world, Ray was discovering, has its share of cheats and scoundrels.
"Basically, it just destroys the integrity of the games," laments Ray, a 35-year-old self-employed Houston software developer.
While rogue players have plied Internet-based games for years, they can now be expected to annoy and rile not thousands but millions as the networking of game consoles moves video games online in a very big way.
There are hackers who write programs that give them perfect aim in shooting games. And then there are so-called player- and team-killers who hunt down and slay others then steal their virtual possessions.
Some ne'er-do-wells find loopholes to duplicate money or weaponry ad infinitum. Still other online rascals solicit emails to snare players' user names and passwords, which they use to access accounts and strip them of valuables.
Such practices have long been the ie of PC gamers.
And while consoles have yet to be impacted, industry leaders including Microsoft and Sony fear such cheats could ruin an entertainment form still in its infancy.
The revenue potential is huge for online gaming, which IDC analyst Schelley Olhava projects will reach some 10 million households by 2005.
Microsoft and Sony have just launched online gaming networks for their Xbox and PlayStation2 consoles and officials of the two companies say their consoles were designed from the hardware up to thwart cheating.
Broadband-only Xbox Live, which expects to offer 14 multiplayer games and have 100,000 subscribers by year's end, uses a secure network to keep out cheaters, said Cameron Ferroni. XBox product manager.

lead. It was Burras who led the Jayhawks back. In the final 1:44 of the first half, Burras had a three pointer, a blocked shot and two steals that put Kansas ahead 30-24 at the break.
"This club has got to learn to come out and put back-to-back games together." Washington said after the game. "It was pretty
obvious that we did not come out with the same intensity that we had in the first game."
Washington was not happy with the effort, but the Jayhawks were in the game until the end. They never trailed by more than five points in the second half, and had an opportunity to tie the game when they missed two shots in with less than 30 seconds left to play. In the end, Kansas couldn't overcome a 54.5 percent free throw percentage and 15 second half turnovers — two more than they committed in the entire Texas Southern game.
Despite the loss, the Jayhawks separated themselves from last year's 5-25 team. Burras said
"Nobody wanted to shoot. Nobody wanted to take over." she said of last season's squad. "Us at the freshman and sophomore level, we want to attack. We want to take over."

In two games, Ransburg pulled down 22 rebounds and blocked 10 shots, earning her a spot on the all-tournament team.
While Hallman and Burras worked on the perimeter, Ransburg did her job under the boards, blocking shots and grabbing rebounds.
"Tamara's quite an athlete. I think she can get double-doubles throughout the season," coach Marian Washington said. "I just love her enthusiasm. She loves the game and plays it with a lot of passion."
Despite the team's youth, they've continued to come together on the basletball court, looking more like a veteran squad as the season progresses.
"I think our team chemistry is good," Hallman said. "Usually when you have seven or eight newcomers it's not going to be that great, but we spend a lot of time together off the court, which really helps us a lot."

Blair Waltz, sophomore guard, drives against Jessica Cook, Western Illinois guard. Waitz scored 11 points against Western Illinois Saturday.
Waltz stars in loss despite stomach virus
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportswinter
If it was not said enough prior to this weekend to convince people that sophomore Blair Waltz is a gamer, then her performance in the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic drove home the point.
A stomach virus had plagued Waltz all week and even forced her out of Friday's first-round game at halftime. After struggling in that game against Texas Southern, Waltz came out Saturday and
scored 11 points in a gutsy performance as Kansas fell to Western Illinois, 48-46.
"I had trouble keeping food down all week, and it just caught up with me at the wrong time," she said. "I know that my team-mates needed me and I needed them."
On Friday night, it was obvious to anyone watching the game that Waltz was not her usual self. Other than two layups on fast breaks, Waltz shot 0-for-9 from the field in 18 minutes played. Early in the second half, she left
the bench for the locker room and did not reappear the rest of the night. During the post game press conference, coach Marian Washington insisted that her starting guard would be ready to go in the championship matchup.
Not only was Waltz ready, but she played 33 minutes and racked up 11 points on 4-for-6 shooting as Kansas lost by two points to the Westwinders.
"Blair loves the game and she told me right after the game yesterday not to worry and that she'd be out there," Washington said.
"I was pleased to see her be as aggressive as she was."
Waltz is hoping that the stomach virus will subside in the next couple of days so she can be at full strength for Kansas' game Wednesday at Wichita State. Waltz said she expected the entire team to bounce back emotionally from the tough defeat.
"I feel bad for Wichita State having to play us after a loss," Waltz said. "We're just going to be that much more motivated."

Considers on the location of the new center located south of Wentworth Medical Health Center began receiving the new facility is scheduled for opening for fall 2005, said Mary Campbell, executive director of recreation services. "It got a lot of people who it was being built Now," she said. "What the wonder what that may be building, cool and is going to be exciting." The building will replace Robbin Cottas as the primary recreation facility for students who now need to attend out school and create jobs.
Most of the plans for the station are complete, but some needs to be addressed, and we need to be able to do so.
The building will be one for student use from o.m. in the morning with slight schedule changes in the afternoon. Campbell said recreation should be allowed during the hours of the facility in the summer.

Music school looks to fill vacant spots
By Jenna Goepfert

Kansan staff writer
The School of Music is trying to fill four faculty positions that will be vacated this May.
Students are concerned by the recent faculty turnover, but school officials say it's not unusual.

State's budget woes threaten
to retain faculty
"That's just the normal ebb and flow," said Vickie Hamilton-Smith, director of communications for the school of fine arts. "People see opportunities and they leave, just like people see opportunities here and come. Students shouldn't be afraid."

Last semester, two of three vacated positions in the music department were filled, and all eight open faculty positions were filled the previous semester, she said. The music department has about 60 faculty members.
Story by Kyle Ramsey Illustration by Joel Pfannenstiel
Timothy Oliver, director of the Marching Jayhawks, submitted his resignation to the school last week. Alice-Ann Darrow and Christopher Moore, both professors of music, have taken positions at Florida universities. John Boulton, professor of music, is retiring in May.
"The marching band has strong historical tradition." Hamilton-Smith said. "Our professors are established and well-respected in their fields. I think the students just don't see the big picture."

Hamilton-Smith said she didn't anticipate difficulties filling the vacant positions because of the school's national reputation. U.S. News and World Report ranked the program 12th among those at public universities.
Percussion major Seth Rowoldt, Lincoln, Neb., senior, said he was frustrated by all the new faces and thought budget problems were forcing professors to leave — something Hamilton-Smith didn't deny.
"Money always helps a program," she said. "With budget cuts, it is tough to recruit people."

Recent legislative budget cuts indicate an attitude toward higher education that some faculty members say influenced their decisions to leave the University of Kansas.
Russ Shafer-Landau, former associate professor of philosophy at the University of Kansas.
Those faculty said the effects of the cuts on the University made it less attractive and left them wondering whether the Legislature would ever support higher education.
moved to Madison, Wis., in August. Although better pay at the University of Wisconsin was a draw, Shafer-Landau said another reason he left the University after 10 years was because of his perception that Kansas residents don't support higher education with tax dollars.
When he came here, 16 faculty members worked in the philosophy department, which is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. When Shafer-Landau left, the department was down to 12 faculty members, and enrollment in the department's graduate pro-
down. That was a sign of a weakening department, he said.
Worse, he was afraid that the University wouldn't — or couldn't — do anything to fix the emerging problems.
Other professors who've left the University during the last two years have echoed Shafer-Landau's concerns. While all of them emphasized the positives of the University of Kansas — such as support from the KU administration and quality of life in Lawrence
horned quality of lawrence -- the state budget and the lack of taxpayers' dollars to support higher education was a common, high-ranking complaint.
Since 2001,60 faculty members have left the University. Officials are quick to point out the number includes professors who've resigned for a variety of reasons, making it nearly impossible to say faculty are leaving because they are unhappy with the University. While that might be true, some professors who have left for other universities question Kansas' severe cuts to higher education funding and the consequences those cuts bring to University programs.
inflation-adjusted state funding for the University dropped from $7,136 per student to $5,960

Rec center to stretch hours

Joey Blackburn, Parsons senior, works out in Binison Center. When the new student recreation center opens in Fall 2003, it will be available from 6 a.m. to midnight.
Students will be able to work out 18 hours straight next fall when the new recreation center opens.
Construction on the new recreation center, located south of Watkins Memorial Health Center, began in April. The new facility is scheduled to open on time for Fall 2003, said Mary Chappell, director of recreation services.
"I get a lot of people who didn't know it was being built," she said. "They just wonder what that big building is. It's coming and it's going to be exciting."
The center will replace Robinson Center as the primary recreation facility for students, who now have to arrange their work-out schedule around classes in Robinson.
Students who graduate can use the facility for as many semesters as they paid for it because of the student campus fee, which took effect Fall 2000. For example, a student who is graduating in May 2003 and was enrolled at the University for Fall 2000 can use the facility for three years after graduating. The fee for construction of the facility was $15 in Fall 2000 and has been $39 since Fall 2001.
Most of the plans for the building are complete, but some minor details still need to be addressed. Chappell said.
The building will be open for student use from 6 a.m. to midnight every day, with slight schedule changes possible. Chappell said recreation services might extend the hours of the facility in the winter.
Recreation services is still considering different furniture and aesthetic purchases for the building. But other than hiring the building's staff, all other plans are in place, Chappell said.
Stephanie Goettsch won't renew her membership to the Lawrence Athletic Club when it expires in March. The Avoca, Iowa, senior and former Kansan sportswriter, said she worked out there
Some students are already making plans in anticipation of the opening.
Chappell said that whether students could use the facility in August depended on the weather and construction conditions.
"I had tried to go there to workout, and I felt that there were too many people and not enough equipment," Goettsch said.

The victim of a Friday-morning battery — which he calls a hate crime — wants his case to prevent beatings from happening again.
Jeffrey Medis, 28-year-old Lawrence resident, was struck repeatedly after he left The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., early Friday morning, Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said. Medis, who is gay, said he thought the battery was a hate crime.
In Medis' 10 years in Lawrence, he said he has been the victim of two other batteries he said were hate crimes and he wanted them to stop.
"It's ridiculous," he said. "It shouldn't be happening."
Medis was waiting outside the bar as a few of his friends were inside getting their coats when he was attacked about 1:30 a.m. Friday, he said.
"I remember walking out of the door and that's it," he said. "Within a minute and a half, I was lying in a pool of my own blood."
What Medis remembered next was
Patrick said at least one person struck Medis, but there may have been more people involved. Patrick said police did not know whether a weapon had been used.
waking up at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. His jaw was broken in two places and he was missing two teeth. He also had a fractured eye socket, fractured nose and a lot of swelling and dental damage.
Medis said he thought several people and a weapon had been involved.
"That's a lot of damage for one person, unless you're a professional boxer." Medis said.
Matt Sullivan, manager of The Replay Lounge, said he thought Medis was targeted because he was gay.
"Otherwise it doesn't make sense," said Sullivan, who has managed the bar for five years. "I've never seen anything like it."
Although the battery happened outside of the bar, Medis said he didn't think anyone from the bar was involved.
"I've known the majority of those people in there for years," he said. "They're all friends."

Kansas delegation meets with Castro, Cuban leaders
HAVANA — Political and farm officials from Kansas met yesterday with Cuban President Fidel Castro after calling for the United States to normalize relations with the communist nation. A Cuban official said his country would have purchased about $175 million in goods from U.S. producers by the year's end.
Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer, a Republican, told a news conference there should be a "normal political relationship" between the United States and Cuba.
No deals were signed during the five-day trip, but Sherrer said he believed the trip "will be very meaningful in terms of dollars of trade for Kansas."
No.2 United Airlines files for bankruptcy protection
NATION
CHICAGO United Airlines filed the biggest bankruptcy in aviation history yesterday, vowing to keep its jets flying while it tries to straighten out a business that is hemorrhaging as much as $22 million a day.
The world's No. 2 airline is certain to cut employee wages, reduce flights and eliminate unprofitable routes during a Chapter 11 reorganization that United chief executive Glenn Tilton expects to last about 18 months.
Passengers are not likely to see any immediate effect on flights or frequent-flier miles, according to both United and industry analysts.
WORLD
U.S. receives Iraq files; begins its own analysis
UNITED NATIONS — The United States received a copy yesterday of Saddam Hussein's massive arms declaration as inspectors began combing the dossier for clues about whether Iraq was free of weapons of mass destruction.
Reverasing an earlier decision, the U.N.Security Council agreed late Sunday to give the United States and the four other permanent council members — Britain, France, Russia and China — full copies of the 12,000-page declaration.
The council's 10, non-permanent members, including Syria, will only see a censored version of the document once weapons inspectors have gone through the report and gleaned it of sensitive material — including possible instructions on bomb-making.
U. N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said yesterday that process would take some time and he called on Washington and others to be patient with the inspectors.
"The inspectors will have to review them, analyze them and report to the council, and I think that's going to take a while," he said.

Nicolas Gayraud, Toulouse, France, graduate student, wants to work for NASA some day. He studied engineering at the National Graduate School.
By Vonna Keomanyvong
vekomanyvong@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every face in the crowd and every name in the phone book has a story behind it. Each week, Kansan writer Vonna Keomanwong tells the story of a randomly selected KU student.
Nicolas Gayraud received a telescope for Christmas at age 13. He didn't decide he wanted to build one until five years later, when he visited a planetarium in his home country — France.
"When you understand how they work, it's great because it's so complex," the 22-vear
It was there that he fell in love with the complexity of the tool, Gayraud said.
Faces in the Crowd
old graduate student from Toulouse said, "I thought the guy who built that was really great. I tried to think, 'Will I be able to do that?'"
Five years ago, Gayraud went into engineering at the National Graduate School in Mechanical and Microtechnical Engineering. Although teachers at the school taught various forms of engineering, they did not specialize in electrical engineering, a field that Gayraud was interested in.
So in January, Gayraud applied for an exchange program between France and the United States. Now he's spending his first year in the United States.
"In France I don't have a real major," he said. "Here I can choose and focus on one subject. I could not do that in my school."
His roommate, Dustin Duryee, Great Bend senior, said Gayraud was serious about his education. He said Gayraud studied more than four hours every night.
"He's very determined," Daryee said. "He's trying to overcome the language barrier but he still works hard to try to learn the material."
This semester, Gayraud is taking
classes about lasers, radio receivers fiber optics and English as a second language.
Although Gayraud will not get a degree from KU, he said he would graduate in France next June. He said he wanted to build telescopes for NASA.
"When I apply for jobs, I can say that I studied in the United States," Gayraud said. "It will show that I'm open-minded and can show my ability to adapt."

Attorneys still seeking prosecutor for rape case
By Michelle Burhenn
mburhenn@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Almost three months after the KU Public Safety Office identified the suspect in an Oliver Hall rape in September, the Douglas County District Attorney's Office is still deciding whether charges should be filed.
Its search included the Johnson County District Attorney's Office. That office also refused to review the case files because someone related to the suspect was acquainted with its staff.
Shelley Diehl, Douglas County deputy district attorney, said the office was searching for another prosecutor to review that case but declined to say why.
"We declined on reviewing the case because it posed a conflict of interest," said Scott Toth, director of Johnson County District Attorney's sex crime unit.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of
Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center said that delays in the legal process could frustrate a rape victim while other victims may feel that the extra caution is necessary.
"I don't think you can generalize how victims respond," she said. "My feeling is that when there is a conflict of interest, it is important that actions are taken that are in the best interest for all parties involved."
On Sept. 12, the KU Public Safety Office identified a 19-year-old Lawrence man as the suspect in the rape of an 18-year-old KU student. Tips from the public helped the KU Public Safety Office identify the man, who is not a KU student. He was not arrested, pending review by the district attorney's office.
The KU student told the KU Public Safety Office that a man slipped into her unlocked room in Oliver Hall and raped her between 4 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. Sept. 7.

Still, she expects the positions to be filled after a national search for replacements this spring.
Lynn Britz, director of University Relations, said that attracting new faculty to the school should not be a problem, despite the budget struggles at public universities nationwide. She said losing only four faculty members was a surprisingly low number.
"People leave because we have a good reputation in music and dance and other universities are looking to raid our faculty." Bretz said.
Dustin Bauerle, Nickerson senior majoring in music, said he was concerned about the recent changes in the department
"It doesn't seem normal," Bauerle said. "Within the last couple years, they've had quite a bit of turnover. It's kind of difficult for the students because there's a lot of change to deal with."
But Bauerle said the changes would be positive in the long run.
"The people we're losing are great people and they helped us become the great school of music that we have," Bauerle said. "But by them having done that, we're able to get even better people."
Boulton, who has taught at the University for 40 years, said students would be sad to see their professors go.
"You've got good people and they're moving to other positions with more opportunities," he said. "But incomes new blood, and so there's a good and a bad side."

Not-so-perfect, but memorable Christmas celebrations are best
What do I want for Christmas?
I want an official Red Ryder,
carbine action, 200-shot-range model air rifle with a compass on
the stock and this thing that tells time.
Or then again, maybe that's not such a good idea. Besides the fact that I'll probably shoot my eye out, I'm just not ready for Christmas this year.
When the omnipresence of the holiday season is combined with the stress of impending finals, projects, papers, columns, quizzes and concerts, it all comes to an unavoidable point. There's only so much a girl can take of perfect, saccharin holiday music and Christmas tales such as the Grinch, It's a Wonderful Life, and that Little Drummer Boy and his pum-pum-pums before she cracks.
COMMENTARY
For example, I love the film A Christmas Story, the 1983 movie told from the viewpoint of 10-year-old Ralphie Parker, a kid in a working-class family in 1930s Indiana whose main goal in life is to get that aforementioned BB gun for Christmas.
Luckily there's always hope for those holiday-impaired like me.
Amid the ubiquity of tinsel and those chestnuts roasting on an open fire, there are some high spots in the holiday season. events and activities and things that are more personal and more affecting than overblown and overdone.

Mainly, they say that he'll shoot his eye out.
Bucking the current trends, it's not saccharin-encrusted and maudlin like many holiday movies. A Christmas Story manages to be real and truthful while remaining both hilarious and heartwarming
Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without a hideous pink bunny costume, a larger-than-life leg lamp and that kid who gets his tongue stuck to a flagpole at recess, all of which are memorable scenes in A Christmas Story.
The fact that these moments are remembered serves as a testimonial as to how the little, basic things sometimes are the most powerful and memorable.

Our holidays don't have to be perfect to be magical. We should strive to keep Christmas as a time for reflection, relaxation and rejoicing. Not for maudlin displays of sentimentality.

All people deserve chance to experience American freedoms
Who deserves to live in America? According to one Kansas candidate who ran for the U.S. Senate during the November election, George Cook of the Reform party, only Americans.
His campaign Web site said he was in favor of shutting the border down to immigration. I realize the Reform party is not mainstream, but this extreme example is indicative of the American two-faced policy toward immigration.
On the surface there is the writing on the Statue of Liberty; "give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" that paints an image of our ideal of a nation accepting of new ideas and willing to offer poor people a chance at a better

The American way of life may not be innately superior to others, and it is dangerous to think it is, but we do enjoy a very high standard of living and are promised freedoms that many others throughout the world are not. Many people attempt to come here seeking a life better than what they once had.

GUEST COMMENTARY
America was born in a dream of freedom. We have always held certain values and rights as vitally important. In fact,
some have even argued that we are "endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights."
Are all people given these inalienable rights, or just those born in America? If the former, than shouldn't it be our business to allow all people the chance to pursue happiness?
In denying that we seem to forget we are a nation of immigrants. Except for Native Americans, all of us either came here from elsewhere or had ancestors that did. Some of our ancestors, unfortunately, were taken in chains against their will.
There are two ways to do this. One way is to attempt to create in the rest of the world what we have here, but we should avoid it when we are not asked to do so because it can lead to a superiority complex and imperialism. The second, and more viable option, is to allow foreign people passage into our country.
So what makes it good that our ancestors crossed the borders to come here, but bad that someone else does the
George Cook may have said this as a reaction to terrorism, but stopping legal immigration is not going to suddenly make us airtight against all foreigners meaning to do us harm, and our own people are at least as dangerous as 'aliens' anyway. Theodore Kazynski and Timothy McVeigh, among others, have proven that.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 5A
Jumping
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
between 1985 and 2003, according to the Provost office.
A memo written by Provost David Shulenburger last year compared the university to five peer schools: Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Oregon. He stated that the University received 20 percent less in overall funding and that its faculty salary budget was 10 percent less compared to its peer schools.
Peter Maneall, former KU professor of history, left in the summer of 2001 to teach at the University of California at Berkley. He blames Kansas' budget crisis for many of the University's budget woes. Simply put, he said, Kansas taxpayers don't support higher education.
"In Kansas, it's always a grudging thing," he said. "Will the legislators see to give even marginal increases to the University budget?"
Mancall left the University to recruit faculty for USC Berkley's arts and sciences departments.
"We came to a very ambitious and entrepreneurial private university," he said.
Private universities don't have the same budget concerns that state-funded public universities do, but that doesn't mean state-funded schools aren't pulling faculty members away from the University of Kansas.
The University of Florida lured Leo Villalon and his wife, Fiona McLaughlin, away from the University of Kansas last summer. Both worked with the KU African & African-American studies department.
"The fact that salary was low at KU made me predisposed to consider other alternatives," he said.
Kansas' inability to support higher education leaves the University without the resources to retain faculty members who might consider leaving. He said the legislature needed a stronger commitment to solve this problem.
"Obviously you have to invest in resources if you're going to keep people there," he said.
Differing perceptions
KU administrators admit state funding is a problem in Kansas, but they say the state is allocating what it can toward public education.
Faculty members might perceive the state's cuts brought on by its recent budget crisis as abandonment, said Sandra Gautt, vice provost for faculty development.
Faculty members watch KU administrators make tough decisions when paring down the costs of running the University and blame the state for not stepping in to fill the gaps.
But, she said, the state is doing the best it can with the money it has.
It appears the state focuses on K-12 public education because of its proximity to taxpayers, Gauss said.
"Higher education isn't in that same line of sight," she said.
Broken promises
In May 1999, the legislature redefined the jurisdiction of the Board of Regents and promised increased funding to higher-education institutions.
It promised $26 million to the six Regents universities — Wichita State, Kansas State, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State, Emporia State and Kansas — over a four-year period for faculty salary enhancements. The first installment was issued in 2001, bringing a 5.9 percent salary increase for KU teaching faculty. It was the last increase faculty received.
The state also granted top-notch universities, community colleges and vocational schools a 2 percent increase in their allotments from the state general fund. These grants were supposed to start in 2003, but recent budget cuts make this unlikely.
Government leaders blame the current deficits on a history of bad budget decisions that began in the mid-1990s when the legislature passed a series of tax cuts. Since then,
Last Thursday, several of these legislative leaders met in Topeka for a public forum on the state's budget crisis.
revenues have shrunk and the state is now forced to cut expenditures.
The problem, they said, begins with the public. Most people want to continue receiving state services but decry tax increases to finance them. It's a flawed relationship that's finally catching up to lawmakers.
"I believe the public will not be moved until they've been denied something personally," said Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood.
"This next session will boil down to the legislature deciding if they can live with cuts or bite the bullet and increase taxes," sald Pat Hurley, state lobbyist and former state legislator.
It's a tough job convincing Western Kansans that paying more taxes for higher education is in their best interest, said Sen. Tim Huelskamp. R-Fowler.
The legislative leaders who met Thursday said Gov.-elect Kathleen Sebelius planned to reevaluate government spending and try to reduce it before she issued more cuts or increased taxes. Economic projections show current spending could create a $667 million deficit by June 30, the end of the fiscal year. Some legislators predict this could be the year to increase taxes to save gov-

where they are giving salary increases."
The future
Residents there are reluctant to pay more taxes to finance higher education because there aren't any Regents schools in their area, he said. And for them, leaving their farms or communities to attend schools in northern and eastern Kansas is not an option.
Huelskamp is ready to defend his constituents' position.
Robert Hemenway Chancellor
"Put some more money in it — it's going to be a better school?" he said. "I don't always believe that."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway says the state's budget situation is damaging for the University. Cuts in the state budget for fiscal year 2002 alone caused an $18.8 million reduction in general fund money for the University of Kansas.
Hemenway said he was concerned about faculty salaries and the University's inability to increase teaching faculty pay.
ernment programs.
"That's what we're going to have to say this year," said Sen. Janis Lee, D-Kensington and assistant Senate
minority leader.
Hemenway plans to lobby the state for more funding here. Without it, he said KU officials would seek funds elsewhere.
Securing private money outside of state funding is best, but if donors fail to step forward. Hemenway said he would turn toward tuition enhancement dollars. This money came from the tuition increase to be used for enhancements — not to fill holes in KU's budget.
"I can foresee a situation where you might ask to use tuition enhancement money to hire a faculty member," he said.
As for getting what you pay for, professor Shafer-Landau said that raising taxes was the logical solution to Kansas' budget problems.
"There's always the debate about lowering taxes,"he said."The bottom line: If you want services,you pay taxes."

Troupe wins award for KANU show
By Justin Henning
jhenning@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Maybe you didn't realize your radio dial could go down this low.
A little-known radio program has made a lot of people laugh, and now it's getting recognition.
Kansas Public Radio station 91.5 FM, KANU has award-winning programming on the airwaves. Its program, Right Between the Ears, just won three Communicator Awards for its series. The international competition recognizes excellence in mass media.
"It's great to get that kind of recognition from your peers," said Darrell Brogdon, producer and principal writer for the show.
Brogdon described the show's format as being like Saturday Night Live. The show is not a regular broadcast because it is performed by a troupe of live performers who have scheduled shows that are broadcast live on the air. He said this helped differentiate it from other radio humor programs such as morning drive-time shows, which he called sophomoric and tasteless.
The show received the Crystal Award of Excellence, the highest award in the Best Writing category. It also earned a Crystal Award of Distinction for Best Narration, as well as an honorable mention for its live broadcast of their 2001 Christmas Show.
"It's a compliment to the spirit of the show," Brogdon said.
The program, which began in 1983, used to be called The Imagination Workshop. The title was changed to be less ambiguous, as the original name made people think it was a kids' show or radio drama. After paring it down, Brogdon said the title "Right Between the Ears" got a positive reaction from people.
The show's annual Christmas show was already recorded at Liberty Hall but will be rebroadcast at 6 p.m. on Christmas Day. The next live performance will be Saturday, Feb. 22 at Liberty Hall.
"We have a faceless audience," Brogdon said. "I see all ages at Liberty Hall."

Even within their own service they are a sometimes overlooked and underappreciated bunch.
They are air commandos of the 6th Special Operations Squadron, possibly
the least well-known Air Force special operations unit, whose main expertise teaching the finer points of air power to less-developed foreign forces happens to fit neatly with the U.S. goal of building coalitions for the war on terror.
Lt. Col. Eric Huppert, the squadron's commander, calls this an "inside-out" approach to the war on terrorism. The idea is to help a country, through training and advice, defeat homegrown rebels or terrorists without having to bring in U.S. combat power, as happened in Afghanistan, where no such relationship had existed.
This veil of secrecy is meant to protect them, but Huppert admitted it also prevents the 6th SOS from attracting the attention, even within the Air Force, that could lead to a bigger budget and expanded role.

Colleges expect boom in future applications
GLASSBORO, N.J. — Chris Tumminia, an assistant in the admissions office at Rowan University, got a glimpse of the future the morning she received 61 online applications following the Veterans Day weekend.
Even more applications arrived in the morning mail.
"I wasn't happy," Tumminia said. "It was a lot of work."
Tumminia and others in admissions offices nationwide might as well get used to it. Counselors and education experts are expecting a blizzard of college applications from high school seniors over the next several years.
The surge is attributed to a boom in the high school population, combined with a tendency among students nowadays to apply to more colleges.
"It's the perfect storm of college admissions, all these forces coming together at the same time," said David Hamilton, director of college counseling at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Wheaton, Md.
An estimated 3.1 million seniors are expected to graduate next June alone, and census projections say the boom will continue through the end of the decade.
As recently as five years ago, high school seniors applied to five or six colleges on average, said Robert Franek, editorial director of the Princeton Review, which publishes guides to colleges. Now the average is between six and 10 schools, he said.

Students who use wheelchairs face extra challenges on the hill
Blast
Born with cerebral palsy, Demian Ordinachev does not have use of his left hand and gets around on campus using a wheelchair. "If I'm paying for my education, I should be able to get the same opportunities," Ordinachev said.
Lindsey Gold/Kansan

Kansan staff writer
Two and a half years ago Nicole Denney didn't have to worry about getting rides to her classes. She didn't have to worry about how she was going to get into buildings, or how she was going to get over curbs. But then again, back then Denney didn't use a wheelchair.
Denney, a Leavenworth freshman, gets from her Lewis Hall dorm room to her classes on campus using the wheelchair-accessible Liftvan, a KU on Wheels service. From there she drives her motorized wheelchair into the buildings. Getting around campus isn't hard, she says, there are just irritations along the way.
Denney goes to Strong Hall on a regular basis to get to her math class and the Services for Students with Disabilities office. There, the only wheelchair accessible entrance is in the back of the building.
"You'd think the main doors would be in front," she said, shrugging. "It's annoying. I'll get used to it I guess."
Yet some more seasoned KU students who use wheel chairs aren't as accepting. Demian Ordinachev, a 24-year-old sophomore, has been attending KU part-time for five years.
"It pisses me off," he said of irritations such as Strong Hall's rearentrance. "I pay all this money to go into these beautiful buildings, and it's like go into the gutter and around back... If I'm paying for my education I should be able to get the same opportunities."
After being in Lawrence since he was 15, Ordnachev knows well the challenges the city and campus have to offer- and they don't necessarily make him happy.
TOP 10 ACCESSIBLE UNIVERSITIES
1. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
2. University of California at Berkeley
3. Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
4. University of Wisconsin; Madison and Whitwater campuses
5. University of Colorado at Denver
6. Florida State University; Tallahassee
7. University of California at Los Angeles
8. University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
9. Weynes State University, Detroit
10. Texas A&M University, College Station
source: NewMobility.com Sept. 98
Denney and Ordinachev are two of the about ten students who use a wheelchair at the University of Kansas. Daily, a pair of brakes and four small wheels are all that stands between them and a campus with 7,018 stairs. It's a manageable task they and others say, but one with difficulties.
Handling college from a wheelchair
Ordinachev is working on completing Math 002 this semester, getting computer certified by Microsoft and creating a programming service he calls "Dynamic E Services."
Yet, Ordinachev doesn't use his left hand much, and walks with the help of a walker or crutches because of a mild case of cerebral palsy. On campus, he uses a wheelchair. All in all, he moves a bit slower than most, he said. "What I say is, 'anything you can do in an hour. I can do in three.'" he said.
There are changes Ordinachew would like to see at KU that would make life easier for people who use wheelchairs. He has qualms with the way he was treated by some people he met while living in the dorms. He recalls being harassed by other students while he lived in Oliver Hall during the 1997-98 school year. He attributes the students' actions to a lack of sensitivity or awareness.
False fire alarms were also a problem during his time with Student Housing. False alerts were rampant, he said. Getting out of the building wasn't a problem if he was in his room on the ground level of the building, but what if he was up on the eighth floor, studying with friends?
"Obviously I can't get out of the building," he said.
"So I would get left up there. Granted it was most always a false alarm, but no one told me that."
Using a wheelchair makes it hard to lead a "typical" college life, Ordnachev said.
"I bet most people never think about why I can't go to a bar and get trashed out of my mind. I'd get busted for a D, U.L. if they catch me using my wheelchair."
It's the lack of understanding from people who don't use wheelchairs that makes him wish there was a student organization for people with disabilities.
Fellowship with others like him would ease feelings of isolation, he said. It would create a group that better understands his issues — big or small.
Disability resources on campus
KU's Services for Students with Disabilities office helps students such as Ordinachev. New Interim Director Mary Ann Rasnak has big hopes for the SSD office. She wants to do more to increase awareness about disabilities, she says, by bringing in speakers, creating athletic teams and possibly forming a club like Ordinachev suggested.
So far this year, the SSD office is working with nine students who have mobility disabilities. In addition to working directly with students, a representative from that office also serves on the Architectural Barriers Committee, which oversees KU's Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. Jim Modig, head of University Design and Construction, leads the meetings, which about seven to ten University faculty and staff attend.
The committee serves the KU community well, when it meets, said member Dot Nary, assistant director of KU's Research and Training Center on Independent Living. Nary has been using a wheel chair since 1988, and makes disability advocacy a priority.
But, the Architectural Barriers Committee has met only once in the last year and a half, committee member Steve Ramirez said, who is KU's Americans with Disabilities Act compliance coordinator. No meetings are scheduled for the future either.
When asked about the rarity of his committee's meetings, Modig said that he hoped for them to start meeting on a monthly basis soon.
An act for action
The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act requires KU to make the campus as accessible as possible for people with disabilities. ADA requirements, which took effect July 26, 1992, ensures access to state and local government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities and transportation for the about 43,000 Americans who have physical or mental disabilities. It stems from the first wave of disability rights law in the 1970s.
The act has dramatically changed the way the University had to think about how it was accommodating for people who use wheelchairs, Ramirez said. The University spends sometimes more than a $100,000 a year specifically for accessibility improvements, according to Modig. Even then it's hard to pinpoint exactly how much KU spends though.
"Every project that we do, we incorporate accessibility into the design." Modig said. "So for me to give an exact number on what we spend on just accessibility is extremely difficult to do. It's always being factored into our plans."
KU follows the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines, for new building construction and alterations. Most of these requirements involve installing ramps, making curb cuts in sidewalks, rearranging furniture, widening doorways, and creating larger bathroom stalls. Other things to consider are insulating water pipes under sinks to prevent burns, raising toilet seats and installing full-length bathroom mirrors. Assembly area seating and parking is also addressed.
During the last 11 years, the University has spent more than $5.1 million on adjustments such as these,

said Modig. An average of $102,000 a year is designated by KU for accessibility improvements.
"Most of the time compliance isn't a problem," Ramirez said. "But because we are sitting on top of a hill, sometimes it's technically unfeasible."
The ADA requirements note that if measures aren't completely compliant, it's okay as long as they pose no health or safety risks. KU sometimes has to utilize this clause, especially when dealing with old, smaller than reg-
How are they doing?
Although KU isn't regarded as one of the most wheelchair accessible universities in the country,it's not bad either, according to Bob Mikesic, of Independence Inc., a non-profit disability advocacy agency that serves people Douglas, Jefferson and Franklin counties. Independence Inc. helps people with disabilities become more self-sufficient by offering transportation help, job training among other things.
Mikesic, who has been Independence Inc.'s ADA specialist since 1986, hasn't heard any complaints lately from students.
"KU has come a long way over the years." Mikesic said. "They have a lot of old historic buildings, and adequately tries to respond to specific complaints."
Moving on
“It’s faster than your average walker, but slower than a jogger.” he said.
It's Jason Schrage's fifth year at KU, but his third here using a wheelchair. The Iowa City senior uses a battery-powered chair to get around campus, which when fully charged, lasts up to 20 miles, he said. Even so, he's not getting anywhere quick.
Schrage "ladders" up and down the hill to get to his classes, going from building to building using elevators. "I go whatever route is the easiest, but sometimes it takes three, four elevators, and one, two, three four, five, or six doors," he said. It's time consuming, and he's often late to class.
Schrage is finishing the history and geography majors he started before he was in a car accident that made using a wheelchair necessary. After taking time off for rehabilitation, coming back KU was the obvious choice, he said. This is where his friends are, and where he wanted to get his degree.
"Those five or ten minutes of missed class really add up," he said.
But it's his choice to come to a college on a hill, he admits, so he deals with it.
Schrage's classes are mostly in Wescoe and Lindley Halls, which are easy to get around in, he said. But he also frequents Watson Library for research, where he's had trouble. Until last summer, the building didn't have automatic, push-button doors. He was left to rely on other's to open it for him.
Schrage started his request for a new door in May 2001 by going to the Services for Students with Disabilities Office, where he told them of his obstacle. The request was then sent on to University Design and Construction, which looked at the need, feasibility, and cost.
Cost turned out to be the biggest factor in hindering Schrage's request, said James Modig, head of Design and Construction. New doors typically cost from $2,500 to $5,000, and two are usually installed at a time, Modig said. Watson's doors have air-assist openers that were installed in the early 80s, changing where an automatic door button could be placed and increasing the cost.
"I know they aren't required by law," Schrage said of the automatic doors. "But it's 2002, it seems like we should be more advanced than this."
It's a problem he'll always encounter during his time at KU, he said.
"I'll make the best of it if it's what I have to do to stay here."

University of Tulsa men's basketball coach John Phillips sees tomorrow's 7 p.m. game against No. 20 Kansas as more than just a opportunity for his No. 17 team to add another victory to its 4-0 record.
That the Jayhawks agreed to travel to play the Golden Hurricane at the Donald W. Reynolds Center in Tulsa, Okla., has Phillips looking for the game to make a statement for his program.
"It's a tough sell to get one of the top-five programs to come here." Phillips said. "It's a tremendous thing for our program. We aspire to be like Kansas."
Kansas nearly found this out the hard way last year as the Jayhawks were barely able to outlast Tulsa 93-85 on a neutral floor at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
Phillips and Tulsa could become the next team to avenge a loss to Kansas last season. Oregon got revenge on Saturday's 84-78 victory over Kansas after the Ducks were defeated by the Jayhawks 104-86 in last year's Midwest regional final in Madison, Wis. Phillips said the excitement of his team for the game was still high, despite his wish that Kansas was undefeated and carried a higher ranking into the matchup.
One of the reasons that Tulsa has a difficult time attracting big-name programs to play in its home arena is the Golden Hurricane's reputation as a mid-maior power.
"It's not a good time to play them," said Phillips referring to Kansas' 3-3 record. "They're wounded and hungry. I was fully impressed with their fight and desire against Oregon. That was a heck of a dog fight."
Tulsa has had a relatively easy path to its 4-0 record that includes wins against New Mexico State and Texas-Pan American in the South Padre Island Classic. The Golden Hurricane's undefeated start is highlighted by a 61-60 victory over Arkansas on Nov. 30 in Fayetteville, Ark. In the Golden Hurricane's 80-69 win over Wichita State on last Wednesday, junior guard Jason Parker continued his stellar play in the early season.
Parker was named Western Athletic Conference player of the week for Dec. 2 through Dec.8, after the Tulsa native scored 30 points and had a school-record eight three-pointers against the Shockers.
Parker, Dante Swanson and Antonio Reed constitute a trio of guards that lead Tulsa's offensive attack.
In last year's contest both Swanson and Reed gave the Kansas backcourt fits, combining for 46 points paced by 10 of 15 three-point shooting.
Phillips said he envisioned a high scoring game that would feature the offensive abilities of both teams.
No matter what offensive numbers the pace of the game dictates, Phillips said he was looking forward to a spirited contest.

Women's bowling team tops Nebraska

Kansan sportswriter
Both of the University of Kansas' club bowling teams put together solid performances last weekend in their final tournament before winter break.
The women's team posted a significant upset over the University of Nebraska en route to a third-place finish in the Leatherneck Classic hosted by Western Illinois University in Moline, Ill.
Nebraska is among the elite programs in the country and one of the few that offers scholarships and fulltime coaching positions.
"It's pretty significant to go toe-to-toe against a team of that stature," said KU coach Mike Fine.
The tournament featured eight team games followed by 16 "Baker" games in which five bowlers compete for one team, each one bowling two frames. The top four teams then advance to a playoff round.
The women posted the highest team games total with 1,082 pins, one of only eight team games of 1,000 or more points recorded in the tourney.
While Kelly Zaph and Kristina Boehm made the All-Tournament team with top-five finishes, taking second and fourth, respectively. KU lost to Central Missouri State University in the playoff round.
"We pushed CMSU and had some of our best matches," Fine said. "This was a really big step for our women's program, I couldn't be more proud."
The men barely missed advancing to the playoff round, finishing fifth overall to defending national
champions Western Illinois by three pins. The men distanced themselves from the remaining 24 teams in the tournament, finishing 301 pins ahead of the sixthplace finisher.
The team could not advance despite Marc D'Errico's first-place finish, who bowled a 215 average while Rhino Page averaged 204.
"It was a little disappointing, but at the same time, it was a strong field," said Fine, whose teams will travel to Hamilton. N.Y. after for finals for a tournament hosted by Colgate University.
Despite missing the playoff round, the tournament was the fourth top-five finish for the men's team in as many fall tournaments.

BCS officials ruin football with greed
It's official — the BCS is a joke.
According to the Bowl Championship Series' official Web site, the system "was established to determine the national champion for college football while maintaining and enhancing the bowl system which has provided significant support to college football for nearly a century."
The goal of determining a national champion was accomplished the first two seasons, as the top two teams played for the title after both the 1998 and 1999 seasons.
Two years ago, though, Florida State edged out Miami and played Oklahoma in the title game, even though Miami had defeated Florida State earlier that season.
Problems arose last year, too, as topranked Miami played No. 4-ranked Nebraska for the championship. The Cornhuskers didn't play in the Big 12 Championship game, let alone win the conference title. Oregon, with a 10-1 record and a No. 2 poll ranking before its bowl game, was shut out of a chance at the national title by the BCS system.
The intricate system uses The Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls, eight computer rankings, the number of a team's losses, a team's strength of schedule and a team's quality wins to determine who plays in the title game. Last season the Cornhuskers had the second-best ranking even though they had been blown out 62-36 by Colorado in their regular season finale.
Everything worked out fine as Miami trounced Nebraska 37-14 and proved its No.1 standing. Had Nebraska won the Rose Bowl, a split national title — exactly the problem the BCS was created to eliminate — could have happened. The ESPN/USA Today poll voters are required to vote the title game victor as No.1 but the AP writers can vote any team they want into the top spot in their poll. If Nebraska had defeated Miami, the Cornhuskers would have sat atop the ESPN/USA Today poll while the writers likely would have voted the Oregon Ducks into the top spot on the AP poll.
This season the BCS system worked correctly, putting Miami and Ohio State
— the only two undefeated major college teams — in the Fiesta Bowl and the national championship.

NBA
Drew Gooden - Memphis Grizzlies
Gooden continued to put up his same decent numbers this past week, but was forced to sit out of Friday's loss to Utah with a sprained knee. He bounced back to get on the floor for a win on Sunday against Phoenix, recording eight points and five rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench. The Grizzlies are now 3-18 and trail the Mavericks by 15.5 games in the Midwest division.
Paul Pierce - Boston Celtics
Pierce averaged 26.7 points per game in three contests last week, but his best performance came in a heartbreaking 99-93 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. Pierce is still fourth in the NBA in scoring, but the Celtics are having trouble catching up to the 76ers in the Atlantic division.
This past week, Vaughn struggled to get minutes for the Magic, averaging only 11 minutes per game in four outings. He had seven points and seven assists Wednesday in a win against the Knicks, but saw only three minutes of action and went scoreless two nights later against Washington.
Jacoue Vaughn - Orlando Magic
Mavs coach Don Nelson is still giving LaFrentz limited minutes as he continues to heal his sprained ankle. LaFrentz averaged nine points and three rebounds per game last week in four contests. He is struggling to put up the numbers to validate his new $60 million contract.
Raef LaFrentz - Dallas Mavericks
JAYHAWKS IN THE PROS
DID NOT PLAY
As the Jazz are heating up after a slow start, Ostertag's numbers may not be impressive, but they're consistent. This season, he is averaging roughly five points and five rebounds per game. He averaged seven points and five rebounds in his first three games this week, but was ejected two minutes into Sunday's loss to the Lakers after arguing a non-call with a referee.
Scot Pollard - Sacramento Kings (lower back fracture)
Greg Ostertag - Utah Jazz
NFL
Kwamie Lassiter - Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals were finally able to snap their losing streak at six games with Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against Detroit. Lassiter had six tackles in the game, including a vicious hit on Lions rookie wide receiver Eddie Drummond.
Gerald McBurrows - Atlanta Falcons
With some more playing time this week, McBurrows recorded six tackles.
Dana Stubblefield - San Francisco 49ers
Don Davis - St. Louis Rams
The Rams' loss to the Chiefs officially ended their slim playoff hopes. In the losing effort. Don Davis chipped in with three tackles.
Isaac Byrd - Carolina Panthers
Despite his performance, the Atlanta secondary struggled as Buccaneers quarterback Brad Johnson had four touchdown tosses.
With a 31-27 win in Dallas, the 49ers clinched the NFC west division championship. Anchoring the defensive line. Stubblefield helped the team with two tackles.
Byrd had an impressive game with the rest of his teammates in a 52-31 beating of the lowly Cincinnati Bangles. In the game, Byrd played predominantly on special teams, returning five kickoffs for 115 yards.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. Feeling pressed for time? Unappreciated and maybe slightly blue? Do something helpful for a co-worker, and it'll pass.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8. Whoa! All of a sudden you're a powerful force with which to be reckoned. What happened to Mr. or Ms. Meek? Jumped the fence and set sail for the Caribbean? Stranger things have happened.

Fighting Irish rank 10th
Notre Dame's week of upsets landed the Fighting Irish in the Top 10 in The Associated Press college basketball poll yesterday.
College of Charleston (6-0), which beat Wyoming, Oklahoma State and Villanova in the Great Alaska Shootout over Thanksgiving weekend, moved in at No. 25, its first appearance in the poll since 1998-99.
The Associated Press
Wins over Marquette, Maryland and Texas improved Notre Dame's record to 8-1 and transformed the Irish from an unranked team to No. 10 in the weekly media voting.
"These kids did a great job this week, and I told them that and then told them we're in new territory now," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. "Now we have to stay consistent and levelheaded. It is December and there is a long way to go."
Creighton, the only team to beat Notre Dame this season, and College of Charleston also moved into the Top 25. Creighton (6-0), which beat the Irish in the championship game of the Guardians Classic, is 23rd — its first ranking since 1974-75, when the Bluejays got as high as 15th.
Arizona (4-0) beat Saint Louis and San Diego State last week and was No.1 for the fifth straight poll. Alabama (6-0) moved up one spot to second, the highest ranking in school history.
The Wildears received 70 first-place votes and 1,774 points from the national media panel, 137 more than the Crimson Tide.
No. 3 Duke (5-0) and No. 4 Pittsburgh (5-0) each moved up one place. The Panthers received the only other first-place vote and the ranking is their best since they were second Jan. 5, 1988.
Oregon moved up two spots to fifth, the highest ranking in school history, while Oklahoma, Indiana, Texas, Connecticut and Notre Dame rounded

out the Top 10.
The 92-71 victory over then-No. 13 Marquette was at home, but the wins over then-No. 9 Maryland and then-No. 2 Texas came in the BB&T Classic in Washington, D.C.
"We've always been able to stay level. We've never jumped off the Golden Dome after a tough loss, and we've never had a parade after a big win." Brey said.
"He has surprised me, but what really surprised me was that he played well in the three straight games, the last two in two days," Brey said. "I don't know if he could have done that if those were his fourth and fifth games in college instead of the eighth and ninth, and that was by design."
Freshman forward Torin Francis played well in all three games for the Irish, capping the run with 21 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocks against Texas.
Minnesota (4-1), 20th last week, dropped out after losing its first road game of the season, 80-60 at Nebraska on Sunday. Virginia (3-2) fell out from 22nd after losing 82-75 at Michigan State in its only game last week, and Wisconsin (5-1) dropped out from No. 25 after losing at home to Wake Forest and then beating UNLV.
North Carolina (5-2), which moved into the Top 25 last week at No.12, had the week's biggest drop, falling to 22nd after losing to then-No. 25 Illinois and then-No. 18 Kentucky.
Affeldt, 23, an important piece of the Royals' plan to rebuild around a corps of young pitchers, was on the disabled list for 50 games last season because of the same blister.
Illinois (5-0), which also beat Arkansas last week, had the biggest jump, moving to 15th.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A recurring blister on his pitching hand has forced Kansas City Royals left-hander Jeremy Affeldt to leave winter ball and may keep him out of the starting rotation next year.

Affeldt said he would visit a plastic surgeon later this week in Springfield, Ill., to determine if a surgical procedure would be likely to solve the problem.
At the suggestions of owner David Glass and Pena, Affeldt has tried pickle brine and garlic juice to harden the finger's skin. He said the skin hardened, but the blister forms under the callus.
Affeldt opened last season in the bullpen but joined the rotation in May. He made seven starts before the blister sent him to the disabled list. He finished the season in the bullpen after returning in August.
While in the winter league, Affeldt didn't allow an earned run in 19 innings, striking out 12 and walking just four.

NCAA BASKETBALL UCLA head football coach fired following losing streak
LOS ANGELES — Bob Toledo was fired by UCLA yesterday after two lopsided losses to finish the regular season
Toledo coached UCLA to a school record 20-game winning streak in 1997- 98,but the Bruins have gone 24-24 since and have lost four straight to rival Southern California.
"I came to UCLA with class and dignity and I will leave with class and dignity." Toledo said. "I have nothing but great things to say about UCLA."
The 56-year-old Toledo guided UCLA to a 49-32 record in seven seasons, the third-most wins for a football coach in school history.
The Bruins are 7-5 this season, including a 52-21 loss to USC on Nov. 23 and a 48-27 loss to Washington State on Saturday.
Toledo will not coach UCLA in the Dec. 25 Las Vegas Bowl against New Mexico, Ed Kezirian, assistant director of academic services and a Bruins assistant from 1982-92, will serve as interim head coach.

Kansas State blowout?
Snyder compares Baylor and Missouri to Arizona State
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The most hotly contested postseason bowl game may not be Kansas State-Arizona State — at least that's the implication left by Wildcats' coach Bill Synder.
Asked yesterday if his Holiday Bowl
C
opponent reminded him of any one in the Big 12, Snyder mentioned only Baylor and Missouri, two teams the Wildcats clobbered by a combined score of 82-10.
"Their offense has some similarities to Baylor," Snyder said. "Their defense has some similarity to the University of Missouri. And some things they do transcend probably every team in our conference. But they're more like those two in regard to offense and defense."
The Wildcats beat Baylor 44.
10 and closed out their regular
season with a 38-0 shutout of Missouri, leaving them 10-2, ranked No. 8 in the BCS standings and the highest-ranked team not picked to play in a BCS bowl.
Most signs point to a mismatch against unranked Arizona State, which lost three of its last four to finish 8-5.

the regular season on perhaps its hottest roll of the 15-year Snyder era, swamping its last five opponents by a combined score of 253-30.
Although he won't say this is his best Kansas State team. Snyder does not deny it's about the hottest.
"I try to answer it this way — I think this team probably has played in this stretch as close to its capabilities as any football team I've ever coached," Synder said.
One worry for the Wildcats may be the Sun Devils' passing game. Colorado hit several long passes in handing Kansas State one of its two losses, and Arizona State quarterback Andrew Walter has thrown for 3,584 yards, with 26 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
"They have the ability to throw the ball around and they do," Snyder said. "They have the 10th-ranked pass offense in the United States. They know what they're doing."
Another worry may be the long layoff between the final regular-season game against Missouri, played Nov. 23, and the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27. Does Snyder fear the Wildcats could lose their fine edge?
"Not necessarily, no." Snyder said. "You just have to understand it's a period of time that you need to make the most of and a period of time when we needed just to rest, our players and to a degree our coaches. They needed some time off.
"They needed to ... get away from the constant intensity of preparation and become a little bit fresher in regard to their approach."
'Huskers accept invitation to 34th consecutive bowl
Independence Bowl to give Nebraska record for NCAA appearances
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — For all of Nebraska's streaks that ended this season, the Cornhuskers were able to keep one alive.
Nebraska on Sunday accepted an invitation to play
La. The game will mark the NCAA-record 34th consecutive year the Huskers will go to a bowl.
N
Tupers
"We feel good about being able to keep Nebraska's bowl string alive," said coach Frank Solich.
"Thirty-four straight bowls. . no one else in the country has been able to do that."
BEEF
Nebraska will receive $1.2 million for playing in the game. After bowl expenses are paid, proceeds will be distributed among the Big 12 Conference members.
This will be Nebraska's first
appearance in the Independence Bowl and its first football game against Mississippi.
It's the lowest-level postseason game the Huskers have gone to since the 1980 team went to the Sun Bowl after a 9-2 regular season.
The Huskers will carry a 7-6 record into the Independence. Ole Miss, which lost five straight games after a 5-1 start, needed its 24-12 win over Mississippi State on Nov. 28 to achieve the required 6-6 record to become bowl eligible.
The Rebels' season highlight was their 17-14 victory over then-No. 6 Florida on Oct. 5. They lost 14-13 to then-No. 21 Louisiana State before beating archrival Mississippi State.
Ole Miss will be playing in the Independence Bowl for the fifth time since 1983. The Rebels are 3-1 in previous appearances.
"It's kind of like home for them there," Solich said.
The Rebels have a potent air attack led by Eli Manning, who has completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 3,088 yards and 20 touchdowns.
The game matches contrasting offenses. The Huskers are fourth in the nation in rushing, at 268.9 yards a game.
The teams will exchange film Monday. The Huskers will go through conditioning drills Monday and Tuesday, with bowl practices beginning in earnest
" Thirty-four straight bowls. . no one else in the country has been able to do that." Frank Solich Nebraska Coach
on Wednesday
Solich said his players were looking forward to the game after Nebraska's worst regular season in 41 years. The Huskers failed to win nine games for the first time since 1968; they fell out of the AP Top 25 for the first time in 348 weeks after losing to Iowa State in September, and they did not beat a ranked opponent for the first time since 1990.
"We want to have this group of seniors finish off with a good feeling about what they were able to do." Solich said. "They've done a great job of keeping the team together. We'd like to have a chance for them to go out right. I'm sure that's the same way Ole Miss is feeling."
More than the game is on Solich's mind, though.
He is still in the process of hiring offensive and defensive coordinators. Plus, the height of recruiting season is approaching.
Solich said he wanted to have new coordinators on board by the bowl game.
"There are a lot of things that take priority, and that's one of them," he said.
Oklahoma teams go to bowls
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Sooners are headed to the Bowel Bowl for the first time in school history, and Oklahoma State's football team is making plans to travel to Houston.
No. 8 Oklahoma, which locked up a Bowl Championship Series bowl berth by

opportunity comes around."
Stoops played in the 1982 Rose Bowl with Iowa and was a graduate assistant on the Iowa team that played in the 1986 Rose Bowl.
"It's special," he said. "The setting at the Rose Bowl, the stadium down there in the mountains and the pageantry of it. They do a fantastic job."
2) and fourth in a row under Stoops.
Southern Miss (7-5) is a member of Conference USA and is coached by Jeff Bower, who was Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator in 1990 under former coach Pat Jones.
Oklahoma State (7-5) plays Southern Mississippi in the Houston Bowl at Reliant Stadium on Dec. 27. It's the Cowboys' first bowl game since 1997 and just their second since 1988.
The teams met in the season opener last year, with Southern Miss winning 17-9 in Hattiesburg, Miss., spoiling Les Miles' debut of Oklahoma State's coach.
"It'll be a chance to reacquaint ourselves with Southern Miss," Miles said. "We're a better team now than we were then."

Finale finds 'Sopranos' star on curb
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — No wiseguys got clipped, but Tony Soprano was sent packing.
The fourth season of HBO's The Sopranos ended with Carmela Soprano tossing her mob boss husband out of the house after she was tipped to his philandering by one of his scorned girlfriends.
It was a powerful punch to a program that has grown into a television phenomenon since it was launched nearly four years ago. The finale could be another big ratings draw for the award-winning series, starring James Gandolfini as Tony and Edie Falco as Carmela.
It was one of many twists from the finale, which re-airs Monday at 10 p.m. EST on HBO2:
Carmela threw out Tony after receiving an ill-timed phone call about his extramarital affairs. Soon his clothes and golf clubs were pitched in the driveway.
— The drawn-out legal battles waged by Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese) came to a tidy end
thanks to a hung jury (a certain frightened juror followed his orders from Tony's crew).
Christopher (Michael Imperioli) was released from his drug-rehab program professing to be free from his heroin addiction but little suspecting that fiancee Adriana (Drea de Matteo) remains a snatch for the feds.
An on-again, off-again scheme to erase rival boss Carmine Lupertazzi was scrapped by Tony at the last minute. But now the author of the plan, Carmine's own underboss Johnny Sack (Vincent Curatola), is pretty sore at Tony for backing out. Put Johnny Sack near the top of Tony's enemies list next season.
The intense drama of the finale was saved for the fight between Tony and Carmela. When the dispute got uglier, Carmela took her best shot: She informed Tony of her abstinent romance with one of his soldiers, ponytailed Furio — who, smitten in return, ducked this sticky situation last week by fleeing back to Italy.
Explaining the effect Furio had
on her, even from glances exchanged when he dropped by the house to pick up Tony, Carmela said, "I felt probably like someone who was terminally ill, and somehow they manage to forget it for a minute."
In the finale, co-written by series creator David Chase, the clash between Tony and Carmela is as powerful as anything ever seen on The Sopranos. In her portrayal of a wife betrayed, enraged and despairing, Faleo outdid herself. It was an electrifying performance.
All in all, this special 75-minute episode was an impressive rebuttal to complaints that the action lagged during some of the season's previous 12 hours (though no one complained about the episode where Tony decapitated his captain Ralphie).
Now the season ends with everybody miserable (including Uncle Junior), but none more than Tony and Carmela. Production on the fifth, perhaps last. Sopranos season begins in January, but answers must await its return to the air next fall.

Former Braves settles in with Mets
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tom Glavine quickly noticed the difference between being with the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets.
"I've had a few people already come up to me on the street and it's been positive. That's a lot different than it usually is." Glavine said yesterday during his first trip to New York since signing the $35 million, three-year contract.
Instead of being the enemy for crushing the Mets' hopes each year, Glavine is being counted on by New York fans to reverse two years of disappointment.
A group of fans waited in the cold outside Shea Stadium to greet Glavine and his family as they arrived for the news conference announcing the deal.
Glavine then put on a Mets jersey, with his usual No.47,and the transformation was complete: His 16-year run in Atlanta was over.
"It probably will be strange until I start pitching here." Glavine said. "Great players change teams. I told myself when Wayne Gretzky got traded that it can happen to anyone."
The 36-year-old Glavine never really thought he would leave Atlanta, where he won two Cy Young Awards, posted five 20-win seasons and helped lead the Braves to
11 straight division titles.
Eight of those titles came after the Braves moved to the NL East — with the Mets finishing second four times. Glavine was 16-7 against the Mets and also pitched seven scoreless innings to beat New York in Game 3 of the 1999 NL championship series.
I'm hoping my string of NL division titles continues next year," he said. "I'm joining a quality team. If I thought the team didn't have a chance to win, I wouldn't have come."
Glavine repeatedly stressed how committed the Wilpons are to winning after two disappointing seasons.
"We had an aberrational year last year," Fred Wilpon said. "We had good players who didn't play well and we think they will next year. We established that we needed a No. 1 pitcher, and Tom Glavine was the best one on the market-place."
The Mets have been seeking that since Mike Hampton left after the 2000 season. New York struggled the next season to an 82-80 record and dropped even further last season despite the addition of big-name players such as Roberto Alomar and Mo Vaughn.
The Mets stumbled to a 75-86 lastplace finish, leaving them 261/2 games behind the Braves and costing manager Bobby
"Great players change teams. I told myself when Wayne Gretzky got traded that it can happen to anyone."
Tom Glavine New York Mets' Pitcher
Tom Glavine
Valentine his job.
"It's easy to look at the New York Mets and look at last year's club and say, 'What are you thinking? Why are you going there?'" Glavine said. "The flip side is if you look at the talent on the field, what's the chance those guys won't be successful again?"
Glavine has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the game over the past decade, never missing a start because of injury in his career. Phillips said Glavine's physical yesterday showed he was in perfect health and had the body of a younger pitcher.
Glavine was 18-11 with a 2.96 ERA this year, although he went just 7-7 with a 3.93 ERA after the All-Star break. He is 242-143 with a 3.37 ERA lifetime.
"He's a winner. He's a bulldog. He's a workhorse," GM Steve Phillips said. "He's the entire package. He meets everything were trying to acquire in a front-line pitcher."

In three years as a Jayhawk, Jamison left his mark. He ranks fourth on the school's all-time list with a 58.0 career field goal percentage. In 1991, Jamison was a part of the Jayhawks' Final Four run, leading the team in rebounds, steals and blocked shots.

Where the system faltered this season was the other top three bowls. The Rose Bowl, which featured the Big 10 and Pac-10 champions before the implementation of the BCS, was outdollarled by the Orange Bowl for Iowa, co-champion of the Big 10 with Ohio State, and Southern California, co-champion of the Pac-10 with Washington State.
Both bowls wanted Southern Cal but Orange Bowl officials got their wish because their game features a larger monetary payoff to the teams, which is the tiebreaker in such situations.
Say hello to big-bucks college
In 1993, Jamison was released during training camp by both the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers. He then played professionally in Sweden and France, but quit basketball after rupturing his Achilles upon returning home.
He moved onto restaurant managing and then banking. He is now working with Commercial Lending as the business development manager.

athletics, say goodbye to the maintenance of the bowl system.
Rose Bowl officials still have Pac-10 co-champion Washington State and Big 12 champion Oklahoma, but those teams are paltry compensation for the destruction of tradition. If BCS officials are so worried about enhancing a bowl system which has supplied critical support to college football for almost half a century, they should make sure they stick as closely as possible to those 50 years of tradition instead of perpetuating the idea of college athletics as a business, not a sport.

Miami, Ohio State: BCS battle of two undefeated teams
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Before the season, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel took his staff on a road trip to watch other teams' spring workouts. One of the stops was Miami.
Why there, Tressel was asked.
"They're Miami. They're the national champions," he said.
Miami is a 13-point favorite,
but that doesn't bother Tressel.
Now Ohio State will get another look at the Hurricanes in the Jan. 3 Fiesta Bowl. And this time, Tressel hopes the Buckeyes come away with that coveted title.
"I don't think we get too involved in the broad type of things, like who's the underdog or who's not," Tressel said. "I think our guys are just excited to have a chance to play in the Fiesta Bowl and to play against the national champions."
The game matches two undefeated teams who used similar weapons but different routes to the same destination.
Top-ranked Miami (12-0)
seeking to become the first
repeat champion since Nebraska in 1994-95, scored sometimes at will, averaging 41.9 points. But it also gave up more points (18 per game) than it might have liked.
No. 2 Ohio State (13-0), going for its first championship since 1968, played defense more diligently, allowing just 12.2 points per game. It also scored less, averaging 29.
Saturday's Fiesta Bowl-trip clincher, a 56-45 shootout against Virginia Tech stretched Miami's winning streak to 34
straight, sixth longest in NCAA Division I A history.
Miami never scored fewer than 26 points in a game and pounded most opponents. Still, there were close calls. A missed field-goal attempt by Florida State saved that victory for the Hurricanes. They trailed hapless Rutgers in the fourth quarter before recovering. Pitt had a chance to tie the Canes on the game's final play.
Ohio State had its own narrow games, beating Purdue 10-6, Penn State 13-7, Wisconsin 19-1
14, and Michigan 14-9.
Miami coach Larry Coker spent two seasons as an assistant to Ohio State head coach John Cooper in 1993-94. He served as an assistant at Miami before taking over the head coaching position two years ago — and hasn't lost.
"I have great memories of Columbus, Ohio, and the Ohio State University." Coker said. "It was just a great experience for my wife and myself. We loved every moment of it. It's very intense. Football is very important to
Ohio State: the intensity of the season, the rivalries and the tradition."
Tressel was a candidate for the Miami job there were reports at the time that he was offered it and turned it down when current Cleveland Brown coach Butch Davis was hired to take over the program in 1995.
Tressel denied that he was offered the job. He said he interviewed for it, but said the timing wasn't right for all the parties involved.

Live mascots bring controversy to their Big 12 schools p.1B
University, KU football schedules conflict
By Molly Gise
mgise@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Oops.
A change in next year's Big 12 Conference football schedule left the only home game in October during fall break.
Homecoming week, which is almost exclusively in October, has to culminate with a home football game. Therefore, one has to be moved, said Kevin Boatright, associate executive vice chancellor for University Relations.
The reason is simple: no students.
"Studies are much more serious. Grades are starting to be formed. Projects are due." Rosen said.
"It would be impossible to hold home- coming week at the same time as the fall break." Boatright said.
The first date, Sept. 20, does not give students enough time to prepare for the weeklong homecoming celebration, he said.
The third, Nov. 8, may be too late in the year, said Dennis Rosen, chairman of the University's calendar committee.
SEE HOMECOMING PAGE 8A
A November homecoming also means an increased possibility of cold and wet weather, he said.
Finding a solution is more complicated. The academic calendar for next year has already been set, making fall break difficult to reschedule. But moving homecoming may be just as much of a hassle.
There are three other possible dates two in September and one in November for homecoming, but each presents a fresh set of problems. Boatright said.
The second possibility, Sept. 27, falls during the Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah.

Landlords question the legality of rental inspections
"We wanted it to be up to code," the Gardner senior said. "We wanted it to

City inspectors entered Amber Kjelshus' home Aug. 22. One month and $3,000 later, she and her two roommates found themselves a new place to live.
Story by Matt Stumpff = Photos by Zach Straus
Code enforcement officials have inspected about 1,200 single-family rental properties in Lawrence since last February, finding about 2,500 code violations.
The inspections are the result of an ordinance that restricts the number of unrelated people in certain rental homes to three. While inside a home, inspectors do routine checks for other
violations such as outdated electrical outlets, smoke detectors, water heaters and, in Kielshus' case, window size.
Kjelshus said at first she was happy to hear that city inspectors wanted to check her home for violations.
Lawrence landlords say they are ready to take the city to court, claiming rental inspections violate the U.S. Constitution. Landlords in other college towns are watching, saying a decision may affect the way they do business in the future.
be safe."
But, she said, after her landlord refused to replace her bedroom window, which didn't meet size standards, she was forced to find a new home.
The inspections
In March 2001, a city ordinance took effect reducing the number of unrelated people who could live in homes in single-family zoned neighborhoods from four to three.
To enforce the restriction, Lawrence city commissioners unanimously approved rental registration for single-
family neighborhood homes in April 2001. The ordinance went into effect in February 2002.
In order to register their properties, landlords must pay $25, and tenants must allow city inspectors to enter the homes to make sure landlords aren't violating the ordinance and other housing codes. If the tenant refuses the inspection, which has happened 28 times since the inspections began, the city obtains administrative warrants to enter the homes.

Earlier night parking target of Senate plan
By Caleb Nothwehr
cnothewhr@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students who want to park on campus in the early evening will find more parking spaces open if a Student Senate-sponsored plan is passed by the Parking Commission.
The commission looked at a plan during its meeting yesterday that would open two campus lots at 5 p.m. on weekdays that are currently unavailable to students until 7:30 p.m.
The commission decided not to make a final decision during its meeting because of time constraints.
Student Senators who serve on the commission said they expected a final decision at its meeting Tuesday, January 21.
"Ultimately this benefits students," said Jeff Dunlap, student member of the parking commission and Leawood sophomore. "They're the ones who have tests and night classes."
If the plan passes, lots that would open earlier are Lot 35, between the Multicultural Resource Center and the Military Science building, and Lot 37, behind Hayworth Hall.
As a trade-off for opening Lot 35

BREASTS ENLARGED?"
THE AXE EFFECT
"It's about convenience That's what all parking issues boil down to."
Kyle Johnson
Student member of the Parking Commission
Kyle Johnson, student member of the Parking Commission and Wichita junior, said this plan would open about 50 additional spots for students at 5 p.m. Johnson said the change would help students because spaces are consistently empty in these lots after 5 p.m.
earlier, the plan would restrict Lot 17 located behind Summerfield Hall and currently open to students at 5 p.m., to only faculty parking until 7:30 p.m.
Advertisements unrelated to KU or community events, like the one above, are deemed inappropriate by KU regulations, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the Provost. "We are trying to control the time and place that people post ads," she said.
Johnson said that, during the spring semester, he would continue to examine parking lots on campus that could be opened to student parking before 7:30 p.m.
Should the plan pass, it will go into effect in August 2003.
"It's about convenience," Johnson said. "That's what all parking issues boil down to."
Posting regulations go unenforced
Despite school policy commercial advertising generally left alone

Almost anything goes when it comes to posting advertisements on campus.
Bulletin boards around campus, especially in places like Wescoe Hall, have always offered a wealth of information about what is going on in Lawrence. Even though the Provost Office's policy restricts postings to community and KU announcements and classifieds, many commercial businesses post their ads as well.
Many bulletin boards in Wescoe classrooms are blanketed with ads for credit card applications or products like Wonder bras.
The Provost's guidelines for posting ads do not specifically include a ban on solicitations, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the Provost.
"We don't encourage them, but we aren't trying to control the content of the postings," she said. "We are trying to control the time and place that people post ads."
Bulletin boards inside classrooms like the ones in Wescoe are reserved for faculty using those classrooms. Johnson said she sometimes removed inappropriate postings from bulletin boards herself, and any teacher or student also has the right to remove inappropriate ads from classroom bulletin boards.
That is what Bob Weinstein. Overland Park junior, did when he saw Wonderbra ads in his classrooms in Wescoe. Weinstein said the ads were disrupting to him during class.
"I don't want to see women in their underwear, and I shouldn't be forced to look at them," he said.
Ads like those for Wonderbra are not meant to be posted in classrooms, said Peggy Carter, vice president of corporate affairs for the SaraLee corporation, the makers of the Wonderbra.
The company maintains strict guidelines for where ads are to be posted, Carter said.
"I can't imagine why the ads ended up in classrooms," she said. "It sounds to me

Candlelight vigil to honor local victim of brutal attack
A candlelight vigil will take place early Friday morning to protest a brutal attack against a Lawrence man Dec. 6.
People plan to gather at 1:30 a.m., at the corner of 10th and Massachusetts Streets, which is where the assault of Jeffrey Medis happened.
"We want to show support for Jeffrey, and to show that weren't not going to stand for hate and violence in Lawrence," said Ailele Ruscin, an Auburn, Alabama graduate student.
Chantel Guidry, a Watson Library employee and Ruscin planned the event after hearing about the attack.
"We want a solemn, symbolic gathering in protest of this horrific attack on a human," Guidry said.

Board of Education attempts to consolidate districts
TOPEKA-A move to consolidate two western Kansas school districts cleared its first obstacle yesterday, winning approval from the State Board of Education.
By a 10-0 vote, the state board approved the consolidation of the Bazine and Ransom districts in Ness County. Voters will get their say on
April 1. If approved, it would be the first true consolidation among districts in 18 years. Consolidation would occur at the start of the 2004-05 school year.
FBI investigating potential hate-crime at utility company
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The FBI is investigating an incident in which a black employee of the Board of Public Utilities in Kansas City, Kan., reported finding a noose.
The complaint filed by BPU employee Donald Crawford is the subject of an investigation to determine whether a hate-crime was committed, the FBI announced Tuesday.
A BPU contract employee was fired last month on the same day a noose was found dangling from a railing.
Crawford said he was disturbed at seeing what has come to symbolize the lynchings that terrorized blacks for more than a century.
Crawford, 47, believed the noose was meant to intimidate him.
Embryo cloning expected to boost stem cell research
NATION
SAN FRANCISCO — Stanford University announced Tuesday its intention to clone human embryos, becoming the first U.S. university to publicly embrace the politically charged procedure.
The intent of the project is to produce stem cells for medical research.
The stem cell work will be part of the new Institute for Cancer/Stem Cell Biology and Medicine, launched with a $12 million anonymous donation to the school. Much of the institute's research will be geared to treating cancer.
Scientists believe embryonic stem cells, which are created in the first days of pregnancy and develop into all the cells that comprise a human body, can be used to treat many illnesses.
Embryos must be destroyed to harvest the stem cells, and some abortion opponents and others oppose the research.

Suspects in murder of student released
By Erin Beatty
ebeatty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Although disappointed by the news that suspects in her daughter's murder case have been released, the mother of a slain KU student said she was not going to stop her efforts to get them convicted.
Jeanette Stauffer's daughter, Topeka senior Shannon Martin, was stabbed to death in Golfito, Costa Rica, during a research trip in May 2001.
The first arrest in the case was that of 27-year-old Katia Vanesa Cruz Murillo in November of last year. Cruz then tied two other suspects to the case, 38-year-old Luis Alberto Castro and 50-year-old Rafael Zumbado.
Cruz is still in custody, but both Castro and Zumbado were cleared of murder charges Nov. 29 because of insufficient evidence.
"It is tough to know they're out there roaming the streets," Stauffer said.
She said a friend of hers in Golffito saw Castro walking the streets with a young girl, about 15 shortly after being released.
1
Stauffer said she was convinced that Castro, also known as "Caballo" and Zumbado.
Martin
also known as "Coco," were involved in the murder of her daughter.
The Costa Rican judicial investigation unit, el Organismo de Investigacion Judicial, is in charge of investigating the case. OIJ official Martin Matamoros said the investigation was still in progress, although he couldn't comment on the specifics.
Stauffer said she was frustrated that people with tips about the case would not come forward — despite her offer of a $50,000 award — because police did not protect informants.
"Obviously, it requires somebody to come forward, but why would anyone come forward with Caballo and Coco walking the streets?" she said.
Stauffer is still working on the case with her lawyer, Pedro Irigonegaray, she said.
"The evidence is not sufficient at this time." Irigonegaray said. "But we're hoping we'll have the necessary evidence in the future to proceed for a trial."
Stauffer is not going to give up.
"I'm not stopping," she said. "I'm just totally worn out."
Student Senate pleased with progress
By Caleb Nothweir
cnothwehr@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Elected student leaders at the University of Kansas are looking back on a semester of representing students during financially tough times.
One of the more important jobs Senate has taken on this past semester was communicating to students where their tuition dollars were going, said Student Body President Jonathan Ng.
"We're representing students in one of the toughest budget years in the history of the state of Kansas," Ng said. The student Tuition Advisory Committee, created earlier this fall, has worked to inform students on the budget situation, Ng said.
Another notable accomplishment of first semester, Ng said, was registering about 3,500 KU students to vote for the November election.
Edited by Amanda Sears
This mid-way point also serves as a time to review the progression of campaign platform issues for Ng and his coalition KUnited.Those issues include a new Multicultural Resource Center, more centralized information services and more opportunities for public transportation.
Ng said preliminary plans were in the works for a new Multicultural resource center on campus. The next step was to send a fund-raising proposal to Kansas University Endowment. Ng said.
"I'm pleased in the direction the project is heading," Ng said, "Obviously we have a long way to go."
Ng compared the progress of the project to the future recreational facility, which was a Senate issue five years ago, but is just now being constructed.
"It's unrealistic for students to get a new MRC over night," he said.
Not all senators agree that adequate progress is being made on these issues.
Kit Brauer, holdover senator and Denver junior, said he was unhappy senators have not made efforts to
bring the Yellow Bike public transportation system to the University, which was a campaign platform issue from KUnited.
During the spring semester, N said he wanted to see more project that will directly affect KU students.
Loren Malone, student body vice president, said one such project would be a possible renovation of the covered bus stop in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall. Malone's vision would turn the bus stop into an information center, complete with television broadcasting KU news, bulletin boards, and calenders that feature monthly activities. Malone said she was still looking for a source to fund the renovation.
Other student senators said they were happy with the legislation Senate has passed so far this semester.
Adam Obley, holdover senator and Topeka senior, said online voting in student senate elections would be an important reform.
"It means that more students will
vote." Oblev said.
Obley said there was little he would have done different during the fall semester.
"I wish they would have made buses free for state elections, but otherwise I have no regrets," he said.
"I think we're going to be running on a tighter budget than usual for a half-way point," said Kyle Johnson, finance committee chair and Wichita junior.
Some senators are worried about the financial state of Senate, because it channels money to student groups.
Johnson said Senate might receive a boost to its budget from money from student groups who didn't use all of their senate-allocated funds last year. But, the finance committee may still have a tough job next semester.
"We're definitely have to watch how we spend money this spring," Johnson said.

Med Center doctors make calls via Internet
By Lindsay Hanson
lhanson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A shortage of doctors in rural Kansas has driven doctors' visits in some small towns to video.
The state's only headquarters for such an operation, the Center for TeleMedicine & TeleHealth at the University of Kansas Medical Center, is also one of the only places for medical attention that comes via video, said Dan Ginavan, Kansas video network project manager at the center.
The center gives rural health patients who might be too sick to drive for several hours to the Med Center immediate access to specialty doctors. Forty hospitals in Kansas are connected with doctors specialized in more than 20 fields, Ginava said.
The video conference doesn't compromise a regular doctor's appointment, Ginavan said. Stethoscopes and dermascopes, which magnify images of skin conditions, can be hooked to the machine to be analyzed immediately in Kansas City, Kan.
A Med Center doctor sits in front a bank of monitors and a camera and directs a nurse at the remote location. Sometimes patients forget they're not in the same room as the doctor, Ginavan said.
"The more often the two work together, the better it goes," he said.
The Northeast Kansas Center for Health and Wellness in Horton refers up to eight patients per week to a
video doctor. Sonjia Clay, head registered nurse for the video consultation department, said the service had proved invaluable to local patients.
Horton calls on an oncologist, who specializes in cancer, a dermatologist and a neurologist, among others.
Clay, who acts as the "hands" of the consulting doctor, said cancer patients had come needing help within 24 hours.
"It meant the difference in having them diagnosed early rather than waiting several months to see a doctor in the city," she said.
Help might be more immediate, but it's still not instantaneous, she said. The oncologist consults via video once a week and the dermatologist makes himself available once a month.
Ginavan said that, although the program had been in place since 1991, some kinks still existed.
"We're really working with dermatology right now," he said. "Dermatologists like to touch. The nurse can touch it and describe what she's feeling, but that's just not the same thing."
The center coordinated 2,207 consultations in 1999, growing considerably since the center's first consultation between the Med Center and a Hays hospital in 1991, Ginavan said.
"It hasn't been tried yet, but it's arguable that a medical student today could open a practice which dealt in large part with video conferencing," Ginavan said.

OPINION
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11,2002
FACE-OFF
Should the Kansan have a sex columnist?
Face-Off is a weekly project of the Kansan editorial board.
The Kansas editorial board. Each Wednesday two editorial board members will argue opposing sides of a hot-button issue that affects students at the University of Kansas. We hope that this section will help students to understand both sides of an argument 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. You can also email suggestions to opinion@kansan.com.
Students need, deserve information about sex
Should there be a column in the University Daily Kansan that focuses on sexuality and relationship issues and concerns? Of course. My concern is not about whether such a column would be useful or warranted.
In a society where less than 10 percent of children and youth receive what is known as comprehensive sexuality education; where most young people are being exposed to fear and guilt based abstinence-only curriculums; where the general societal attitudes about sexuality are non-affirming and negative and filled with repressive consequences; where unexpected pregnancy and STDs are rampant; where so many women and men are experiencing sexual misuse at the hands of others; where half of all marriages fail, many of which struggle with serious sexual dysfunctions; and finally, where the issue of a sex column in a college newspaper causes a potential controversy, it probably would not hurt to enhance the level of information available.
To quote an often used phrase, "information is not dangerous, but ignorance almost always is."
For me there are two central concerns. Human sexuality is an important dimension of the human condition. It can be the source of both great joy and great pain.
KU students do not leave their sexuality at home when they come to campus. They bring it along with them, whether sexually active or not.
Given this reality, and the fact that most students have been ill-served by
their parents, schools and churches at this point in their developmental journey, it seems that a column that addresses issues of sexuality and relationships would be both respectful of their reality and useful in their living process.
Youth and adolescents are the training ground for adulthood. If we want sexually healthy adults who can maintain long lasting intimate relationships we need to do something different.
The other concern I have relates to the quality of the column.
If the columnist is motivated by the creation of shock responses (not that some folks will not be shocked), or is serving their own ego needs (read sexual insecurity), or reference mostly their own personal experiences (a narrow reference group), or are unwilling to do the hard work involved in a responsible column, then I would wonder about its usefulness.
My concern is that the column should reflect solid scientific backing and good clinical information, where available. The column should reflect an accurate and rich understanding of the topics being considered.
Because no student columnist is a sexuality/relationship expert I would urge the writer to regularly seek the advice and consultation of someone who could guide and consult on issues of concern.
Persons with ideological objections can submit letters to the editor.

Mark Lyda/Kansan
Column only useful if moral view complete perspective are provided
What does a Catholic priest think about the University Daily Kansan's new emphasis on sex?
First, that it is dangerously incomplete; second, that it is intellectually inadequate; and third, that it is based upon an overly simplistic understanding of the human person.
By presenting sex as mutual self-gratification, we risk encouraging people to use one another for pleasure. Immanuel Kant, an 18th century philosopher, said the first principle of morality was that "persons should always be treated as their own ends and should never be used as a means to what I want."
To disconnect sexuality from the innate dignity of the individual is to risk causing great personal harm to followers of our experimental advice. The personal brokenness caused by such abuse of sex is well known to counselors and doctors, priests and ministers. Sexual violence stems from this same self-centered, pleasure-seeking view of sex.
If the Kansan must make itself the sex adviser to countless young people, it would do well to balance the hedonistic
perspective with contrary opinions rooted in history, moral philosophy, sociology psychology, theology and medical science.
It is intellectually dishonest to omit ideas that conflict with the pleasure principle.
Because the University of Kansas seeks to be among the top 25 public universities in the country, its student newspaper should set high standards for content and for unbiased coverage of controversial issues. If the paper continues the sex column, it should add a balancing column representing an alternate view, such as abstinence.
Alternative arguments originate in a much richer, more complex and complete view of the human person. In this view, we would offer an understanding of sex as a celebration of mutual self-giving in authentic love.
Concern for the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of students, and a sense of the beauty of sexuality in proportion with other elements of human personality form my views.
Our goal is to enable students to reach
their fullest potential. To do so, we must focus on their wholeness as persons, treat them with respect and never promote that which would enable them to be exploited for someone else's gain or pleasure.
To violate their privacy, to talk down to them, or to censor competing ideas is counterproductive. The paper should assist in this mission by presenting a fuller discussion of human sexuality.
By exposing students not only to shocking prose and pictures, but also to dialogue and reasoned argument, the Kansan will be making a greater contribution to their education.
The social consequences of the abuse of human sexuality are mind boggling, and we all pay the price for insufficient attention to well-rounded education of young people in this area.
It is not too late to introduce gravity, dignity, virtuous living and balance to the Kansan's treatment of this subject. I look forward to seeing how the staff will address the possibility of these changes.

At the halfway mark, Student Senate falls short on some goals
Jonathan Ng and Loren Malone, Student Senate president and vice president respectively, were elected last spring on the KUited ticket. Their platform included at least five separate, specific goals they wished to carry out for the current academic year. Now at the halfway mark, it's time to see what they've accomplished.
According to Malone, their number one priority has been the development of the Multicultural Resource Center. They've met with members of the Kansas University Endowment Association as well as the KU administration and should have a report finalized by January. It's a fine first step to a goal of greater diversity on campus.It's too bad
the rest of their policy initiatives don't have quite as good a tale to tell.
KUnited has all but ignored many of their other campaign issues. Their yellow bike program, highly touted during the campaign, has all but fallen off the map. Malone claims senators have met with various businesses and the Lawrence police department. "We're still working out the logistics," she said.
This would help to explain the conspicuous lack of bills on this or any of KUnited's other proposals. "Not everything we do is in bills," Malone said. "Bills are not going to do the work."
But without any kind of easily available documentation, the average student cannot find out what Senate is
doing to make their lives better.
Malone also says that the Student Senate Advisory Board has helped to add in blue phones and lights for safety at a few places around campus. John Mullens, assistant director of the KU public safety office and is a non-voting member of the Campus Safety Advisory Board, disagrees with that assessment.
"Discussions of pros and cons started this time last year," he said.
He said they ended up making their decision by early May. Ng and Malone couldn't have had a hand in this project because the issue was practically resolved before they came into office.
Other campaign promises such as an online calendar for student organiza-
ions and campus events still require more attention than they've been given. Malone says that Student Senate has been working towards that goal with KUCalendar.com.
Although the University already has an online calendar at www.ku.edu/~calendar, some in Senate don't like the way that calendar is set up. KUCalender.com was created to alleviate those problems.
However, without a lot more work, the ku.edu calendar will still be better than KUcalendar.com because it has more information.
Susan Elkins, director of KU Info, said the ku.edu calendar had more activities listed and was printed out on a
weekly basis and distributed to faculty and staff. "If you look at KUCalendar, it doesn't have everything you want on it," she said.
With the top two spots and 39 of the 80 student senators, KUnited wields an undeniable power in the legislative chambers.
Yet after a semester on the job, their campaign promises have resulted in drafts of reports and completed projects that were independent of Senate's input. Winter Break may be a good time for Ng and Malone to think about what they want their legacy to be on campus.
Dan Osman for the editorial board.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
LETTERS
war story needed view of proponents
The article "Protest questions war" in the Dec. 9 issue has caused me to ask some questions.
I, and no doubt others, first need clarification on the status of one of your primary sources of the article. How exactly, unless I have not received the full amount of facts which would be a travesty in and of itself, is Chris White a "veteran" of the Marine Corps if he has been in the Marine Corps for only four years?
I have two friends who are Marines and they collectively have six years of Marine Corps experience, and one is an officer, but neither have been to a war or been involved in any kind of conflict whatsoever and yet, they don't consider themselves "veterans."
What is a veteran? If there is in fact more information on the credibility of this source, I as a reader deserve to have it, don't you think?
This gentlemen was used as a primary source in half the article without much of a corroboration of his military status other than a quick mention of his membership in that veterans' organization and an even quicker mention of his four years of experience. Are we readers just supposed to accept these small amounts of information as correct with no justification or corroboration?
This being the case, I find it very easy to write this article off as biased to promote an anti-war opinion. If I wanted that I would
have a subscription to The Progressive or some other leftist publication, not an open forum, university-sponsored newspaper. Try to keep it a little more fair and balanced, and maybe I'll keep reading.

Column misses the boat on KU rowing team
This is one of many, I'm sure, letters in response to Ryan Wood's anti-rowing tirade "Rowing gives glory to females" in the Dec. 9 issue. It's obvious he knew how inflammatory the article would be by his brief attempt to placate the women on the team by saying that "most of these women are very good athletes. They're strong as bulls..." Well, I'm afraid that paragraph didn't really placate me. I'm still angry.
Why direct his bitter rage toward women who even he admits work "until they puke?" These women have done nothing but seized an opportunity. And at KU, they have really seized it. The team has consistently been ranked in the top 25 in the nation, even with its high ratio of walk-ons.
If you are at all a supporter of minor sports, you should cheer the rowers' successes, not belittle their efforts because your sport is not funded. It's as if Wood is saying that the rowers are only competing to avenge some sort of failed high school athletics career. I can emphatically tell him that is not the case
Title IX did not cause the loss of the men's swimming and tennis teams at the University. Title
IX did not lead to the loss of men's wrestling, gymnastics and baseball at other schools. Athletic departments have budgets just like any other business. And when times are tough, athletic directors have to make difficult decisions. Title IX did not mandate how equality was to be reached.
I understand the need for strong football and basketball programs in order for the athletic department to bring in money, but you have to understand, those teams also have the largest budgets. Trust me, Mr. Wood, rowing isn't the place to look if you want funding for other men's sports; the rowing team has subpar facilities and a non-existent boathouse, the rowing team stays four women to a room on road trips, and the rowing team certainly doesn't have the kind of budget to eat dinner at Alvamar Country Club before every race. So please, direct your anger elsewhere.
I don't understand why it is a "sad day when one can walk in and participate in a sport for the first time at the Division I level." To me it is a great day, even an amazing day. These teams don't lower their standards just to fill a roster.
Yes, you may say I am biased. I am one of the women who has enjoyed the privilege of collegiate rowing. And trust me, we truly appreciate that privilege. I guarantee you that my teammates and I earned every penny of our scholarships and brought honor to the University. We trained with the U.S. National Team, placed in the top tier at the nation's largest regatta, and won the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship.
We are not "Miss Decent Female High School Athletes". We are Division I champions, and I'm sorry if that bothers Wood.
Laura (Hubert) Beightel Class of 2000
I went to class this morning and picked up a paper. At first glance of the sports page I thought, "wow, an article about how the rowing team works hard and competes, well, isn't that nice." Until I started reading this ignorant spiel that you call a commentary.
I was angry by the time I hit the third paragraph. To assume that just anyone can come to college and join the rowing team to become a Division I athlete is ridiculous. We yes hold tryouts for walk-ons, but they are very competitive and those that make it are the ones that are the best, the strongest and the fastest.
Every team at the University holds these tryouts to give others a chance to become a Division I athlete. So because the rowing team has the ability to give a few more people this opportunity than other sports, do you think that it is OK to pick on us?
How dare you call the rowing team a "love child of Title IX" and call us a "Division 1 athletics joke." Our program has been ranked in the top 25 for the last 4 years, so who are you to criticize a team that is actually producing results?
Our team is not just made up of walk-ons either. Currently we have 16 recruited girls from all over the states including 10 girls recruited from Canada including myself.
As for your claim that it is a sad day when one can walk in and
participate in a sport for the first time at the Division I level, why is it a sad thing that girls are given a chance to gain a little bit of respect and to show their skills as an athlete?
I can't think of any reason why you call rowing a ridiculous sport or say that we are tarnishing Division I athletics when we compete against the best and we bring home Top 25 rankings consistently.
Finally, you go ahead and give your little girl an oar to play with in her crib, but I will guarantee you one thing. She will never be given the opportunity to row for the University, not with a last name of Wood anyway.
Jennifer Van Royen
St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, senior
This is in response to Ryan Wood's Dec. 9 commentary,
"Rowing gives glory to females."
First things first... Do you always like to talk about things that you aren't quite versed in? Is that a gift or is it something you work really hard to do? Sadly for you, you have just gone too far this time.
Rowing is an athletic joke? I suppose that you've tried the erg before, and you've been to a practice and seen what training is required. I guess you've gotten up at 5 a.m. every day to go practice, then returned in the afternoon to practice again.
I am offended by the complete ignorance you've shown in writing such an un-researched article, and I am not even a member of the KU team. I am a member of Cincinnati's rowing team, and I invite you to attend a practice and see exactly what the sport is about before you go
flapping your mouth about something you know very little about.
I, like many other rowers across the country, spent my high school years devoting myself to this sport, and yes, I am fully reaping those benefits now, and rightfully so. Just like John Crider, we all practice countless hours a day perfecting our skills.
But I suppose you knew that. I deserve to be a Division I athlete just as much as any male basketball player or football player across this country. Title IX wasn't meant to cause men's sports teams to be cut, all we asked for was to be given the same opportunities as men.
If schools cut some of the football scholarships, then men's athletics wouldn't hurt so much, but we can't do anything about that. That's a decision for the athletic departments to make. Not the athletes, so stop ripping on hard-working female athletes in a sport you know nothing about.
Once again I ask you to learn a little about the sport before you write again. Hundreds of people read this article and I can tell you that every female rower across the country will discover what an idiot you are for writing such a piece.
Come to a practice and get your butt kicked by a bunch of girls who are part of a sport that is such a joke and then talk. The only hope I have for your daughter is that she won't be as ignorant as her father, and will reap the benefits of a truly enriching and challenging sport.

IS GOD CALLING YOU AND GETTING A BUSY SIGNAL?
ALFRED EINSTEIN
In today's world, it's so easy to lose sight of why we're really here. So perhaps the thought of devoting your entire life to God has never crossed your mind.
Then again maybe it has. Maybe you're one of the rare women who are being called by God to follow in the footsteps of Jesus: And if you only take a moment to really listen to your inner voice God will get through.
We are the Sisters of St. Joseph, an international order with roots right here in Wichita. And we invite you to come live a life of holiness, in a community where we strive for unity and reconciliation among all people with God and with one another. Ours is a community of prayer and service. Our dedication to God motivates us and is the source of joy for all that we do.
But how can you know if you truly have been called? Do you feel a longing for more in your life? Do you feel a void in your heart? Do you radiate joy? Does love pour out of your smile and do you long to follow Jesus?
If so, you owe it to yourself to answer God's call. To learn more about The Sisters of St. Joseph, call or visit us online. You'll be eternally grateful you did.

Pranks common, almost a tradition in community living
By Todd Rapp
trapp@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Fish-gut air fresheners make bad gifts but good pranks, as John Wright, Grace Pearson resident; and his roommates discovered last year.
"We noticed our bathroom was starting to stagnate despite the multiple air fresheners," Wright said. "We kept adding and changing air fresheners, but it kept getting worse. Eventually, we found a little bit of fish guts in each one."
Every year, student organizations come up with new pranks to perform on rival organizations, but they never stray far from tried-and-true pranks.
Scholarship hall pranks vary from stolen silverware and mascots to water fights. Fraternities and sororites tend to paint each other's letters and steal composites, only to return them with some additions.
"We'll cut a magazine clip that says 'hottie,' or put a woman's body under the man's picture on the composite," Molly Russell, Gamma Phi Beta member, said.
It is somewhat traditional for the new member class in a sorority to acquire as many composites as possible, Russell, Leawood sophomore, said.
Wright, St. Louis sophomore, said pranks provided students with an outlet for stress.
"When we prank each other, it is a good way to let loose the pressure of classes, and we
"When we prank each other,it is a good way to let loose the pressure of classes,and we know it is all in good fun."

know it is all in good fun," Wright said.
Wright said the student housing directors in the scholarship halls gave their residents guidelines to follow, but otherwise washed their hands of the pranks.
Bob McKenney, program assistant for fraternity and sorority life, said the fraternity and sorority life administration had some guidelines for what was authorized. He said anything involving a chapter's charter document or anything that could bring in the police was off limits.
"We basically have to stick to the building itself. We'll mess with the kitchens and the bathrooms, but not people," Wright said.
McKenney said pranks were usually good-natured and meant to be an icebreaker.
"Some chapters take the composites and will only return it to the owners during a function, but it's a bit easier just to call the chapter and set up a mixer," he said.

Local restaurants brave slump
By Nathan Dayani
ndayani@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The success of Lawrence restaurants has been simmering down because of increased competition and a struggling economy.
Nineteen restaurants affiliated with the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce have opened in Lawrence since 2000. Judy Billings, director of Lawrence convention and visitors bureau, said the growth in restaurants should benefit the community because it increased the variety for Lawrence residents, as well as visitors to the city.
"It's good for the community and for the economy as long as they're strong and people end up using them," Billings said.
Patronage at well-established local restaurants may be on the decline, said James Truscello, general manager of Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St. He said the growth in dining options, combined with a slumping economy,
"It's been a terrible year for restaurants." Truscello said. "Nobody has been talking about a banner year since 1996."
resulted in limited patronage at local dining venues.
In the past few years, Teller's has adjusted to the difficult market by lowering meal prices on its menu by 25 percent to 35 percent, Truscello said.
Not all Lawrence restaurants have been able to merely adjust to the market's demands. Billings didn't have information on restaurant closings, but in the past year, Prairie Fire: An American Bistro closed and Fifi's has closed indefinitely. The Bleujacket, which recently closed, had success in its first year but couldn't survive the second, Truscello said. He said patrons were often intrigued enough with new restaurants to adequately support them during their first year, which becomes more difficult after the hype and newness of the restaurant fades.
Bill Staples, professor of sociology, generally dines in Lawrence restaurants at least
once a week and has noticed the decline in fine dining options.
"I think Lawrence is a very fickle restaurant market," he said. "Some of it clearly is the cycles in the economy, even on special occasions people have stopped going out because they can't afford it."
La Familia Cafe, 733 New Hampshire St., has lost some of its business to recently established venues, said Philip Rodriguez, manager at the restaurant.
Rodriguez and Truscello both said corporate restaurants may be changing the Lawrence dining scene. Truscelo said it was easier for Massachusetts Street restaurants to maintain their individuality.
"The great thing about downtown is that entrepreneurial status - people who own the shops are in the shops," Truscello said. "The further and further you get away from that, the less unique it becomes."
Karen Clawson, Leawood senior, said she dined out about twice a week but frequented only

Leadership switches difficult for greeks

ize themselves with their tasks.
Shifts in fraternity and sorority leadership roles can be stressful for incoming officers who are already anxious about finals.
The majority of chapters have their elections for new house leadership in November. Some chapters have their new position holders take charge immediately and train on the job, and others have a transition period to allow the incoming leaders to familiar-
Fall recruitment is one of the largest events the Panhellenic system organizes, and a new president and executive board could become overwhelmed.
Having the former president still living in the chapter is helpful to incoming leaders, said Patrick Wetta, Wichita junior and president-elec for Phi Gamma Delta.
"Transitions aren't long—there is no possible way to get all the information to the new president in that short amount of time," he said.
Another responsibility the new president-elect has is establishing communication between new and old officials.
Others include having innovative ideas for community service, being a role model, and representing the chapter and its interests at the Panhellenic meetings.
Kara Ryckman, Kappa Alpha Theta's current president, told the sorority's president-elect Kelly Lupton to come to her anytime she had a question.
"She told me, 'you only have a year to get into the presidency,'
and by the time you start feeling comfortable, it is time for turnover."Lupton said.
Lupton said academic workloads also made it difficult to get all the old officials and the newly-elected ones together to exchange information.
Angie Carr, coordinator for chapter life, said turnovers took place in November to give officials time to get experience in the spring before the more hectic fall semester arrived.

INSPECTIONS
Inspections
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Rental inspections and registration don't apply to apartment buildings and homes that aren't in single-family neighborhoods.
Violation of rights
The Landlords of Lawrence, the group considering a lawsuit, appreciates the city's concern in making sure landlords aren't violating code, but thinks a different approach is necessary, Bob Ebey, vice president said.
"We're not against what they're doing, but how they're doing it," he said.
The landlords formed the Citizens' Rights Committee, which includes tenants and landlords, to fight both the restriction on the number of tenants and the inspections.
Chris Miller, lawyer for the committee, said the inspection ordinance was a clear violation of the rights of tenants and landlords.
The city violates Fourth Amendment privacy rights when it obtains administrative warrants to
enter homes where tenants deny access to inspectors, Miller said.
"You can't come into someone's property and just start inspecting without permission from anybody," he said.
Kielshus gave inspectors permission to enter her home. She said she was on the city's side, and that landlords should take responsibility for their homes.
But the landlords' main problem with the ordinance is that it only applies to homes in single-family neighborhoods, Ebyle said.
"I understand that there are slumlords," he said. "But give every tenant the same satisfaction."
"You have to treat everyone the same," Miller said.
Picking just one type of neighborhood to inspect violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, Miller said.
The city needs to inspect all rental units, including apartments and houses in multi-family neighborhoods, for the inspection ordinance to be fair and legal for landlords. Miller said.
The city disagrees.
"We think that the ordinance is
HORSE STABLE
constitutional," said David Corliss, assistant city manager and legal services director for Lawrence.
He declined to elaborate.
Meanwhile, the inspections continue at the rate of 130 a month.
Amber Kielshus, Gardner senior, favors rental inspections. Her old home was declared uninhabitable by city inspectors after her landlord refused to fix a substandard window.
Tenants and landlords pay
Kjelshus said she never expected to pay out of her own pocket because her rental didn't meet code requirements. After moving expenses, and problems with her lease and her old landlord, Kjelshus said she and her roommates spent about $3,000.
Both landlords and tenants have felt the effect of the ordinances on their bank accounts.
When landlords refuse to correct code problems, the city can declare a home uninhabitable. Barry Walthall, Lawrence code enforcement manager, said.
But that's unusual.
The city can threaten legal action against landlords for not fixing problems, which ensures most violations are corrected, Walthall said.
"Rarely do we have a problem getting compliance from a landlord." Waltall said.
As a result of the ordinances, single-family landlords have additional costs that landlords for apartments and rental houses in multi-family neighborhoods don't encounter.
"You'd be better off driving drunk down Mass. Street than violating this ordinance," Miller said.
The city can fine landlords who don't apply for registration up to $1,000.
Lawrence shouldn't force inspections on single-family houses because tenants can call
"I understand that there are slumlords. But give every tenant the same satisfaction."
Bob Ebey

the city at any time and request an inspection on any rental property for free, Miller said.
Good enforcement officials inspect about 130 rental homes per month. The officials check electrical wiring, heating systems, windows and ensure tenants adhere to occupancy regulations.
Having three tenants instead of four can add to how much tenants pay for rentals, Ebey said. But landlords can't expect to get three people to pay the same total rent as four people would, he said, so landlords make less money while individual tenants pay more.
Lawrence residents shouldn't expect to see a drop in the number of rental houses in single-family neighborhoods because of the ordinance, Rebecca Buford, associate director of Tenants to Homeowners, Inc., said.
Rental homes with fewer residents and more inspections still make more for landlords in the long run than selling off the properties, she said.
The Citizens Rights Committee started a legal fund to fight the ordinances. Landlords in other Kansas towns contributed about 42 percent of the fund, illustrating the importance of the lawsuit, Ebev said.
If a lawsuit is filed, the outcome
The popularity of rental homes is one of the main factors that makes Lawrence the highestpriced housing market in Kansas. Buford said.
Other cities watch
"They know that if we win, they won't have to worry about it," he said.
would affect what other college towns do with rental inspections, Sammi Mangus, assistant to Manhattan's city manager, said.
"Once something happens in one community, it spreads throughout the state," she said.
Manhattan, home to Kansas State University, considered an inspection program that would include all rental units about three years ago but the initiative didn't materialize. Mangus said
"There just wasn't a will to start it," she said. "But we still hear grumblings every once and awhile."
Mangus said Manhattan's inspection department focused on educating tenants about their rights to have inspections, instead of requiring mandatory inspections.
The Manhattan Landlords Association wants to prevent the issue from escalating beyond grumblings, said Roger Luthi, president.
"Our feeling is that if this is overturned, then it's extremely doubtful that it will happen in
Manhattan," Luthi said.
Manhattan code currently limits the number of unrelated people who can occupy a house in single-family neighborhoods to four. But Luthi said he didn't think a change in the law would affect the rental housing market in Manhattan either.
"Those are normally houses that have been bought for investment purposes," Luthi said. "It's unlikely that they will go back to owner occupant."
Waiting game
Back in Lawrence, Miller and the Landlords of Lawrence still work out the details of the case.
"It's quite a large project and a good deal of the time spent is interviewing property owners." Miller said. "The work is not complete or it would be filed already."
Miller wouldn't reveal a time period he had in mind to file the suit.
"You could definitely say it's coming."

Homecoming CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Boatright worked with Rosen and the calendar committee to draft a recommendation to move fall break a week later. from Oct. 16-19 to Oct. 23-26.
Changing the academic calendar ultimately requires the approval of the Board of Regents. Before that, the change must be approved by University Council and the administration.
In its Dec. 5 meeting, University Council voted against moving fall break to accommodate the Oct.18,2003, football game and homecoming.
Adam Obley, a student member of University Council, said that moving fall break would upset already scheduled test dates and advising periods.
"I can't just subordinate the
academic mission of the University to homecoming," said Obley, Topeka senior and student senator.
While November is not an ideal time for homecoming, weather should not be a consideration, Obley said.
"There's no point to trying to predict the weather in the state of Kansas," he said.
University Council's decision brings the calendar committee and the group in charge of scheduling homecoming back to square one, at least for now.
There is a possibility that University Council will reconsider its decision at its next meeting Jan.30, Boatright said.
But if University Council doesn't change its decision, moving fall break becomes a dead issue.
"There's a need to move ahead
and make the other decision, set the calendar and live with it," he said.
Kit Brauer, a University Council member and student senator, said the University was being too narrow-minded in its idea of homecoming.
This fall, the women's soccer team had four home games during October.
"KU could be the progressive leader in that department," Brauer said.
"I think women's soccer could draw the same amount of people to a game that football could."
There's no reason that homecoming must involve a football game, said Brauer, Denver junior. He suggested women's soccer.

Protests continue in Venezuela
The Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — Supporters of Hugo Chavez surged into the streets yesterday for a second straight night of raucous protests — trying to drown out opposition demands that the leftist president give up power.
Hundreds of "Chavistas," as the president's followers are known, ringed the headquarters of the private Globovision television network and rallied at the headquarters of the state oil monopoly.
The new protests came amid the tumult of a nine-day-old national opposition strike that has created shortages of food and drinking water and disrupted the country's oil industry. Earlier yesterday, thousands of opposition demonstrators marched in the capital, Caracas, to protest Chavista demonstrations at
media outlets and an assault by Chavez supporters on a regional branch of Globovision.
Tensions were further raised when nearly half the judges on the Supreme Court decided yesterday to suspend work to protest what they said was political harassment by the Chavez government.
Labor, business and opposition political groups called the strike on Dec. 2 to demand an early referendum on Chavez's presidency, which is scheduled to end in 2007. They upped their demand to Chavez's ouster after three people were killed and 28 wounded at an opposition rally on Friday.
The strike has paralyzed the oil industry, which provides 70 percent of Venezuela's export revenue and is a key supplier to the United States. The government has dispatched troops to take over gasoline deliveries and
guard against unrest in Caracas.
In Washington, the State Department praised Venezuela's security forces for protecting media outlets from demonstrators and urged both sides to work with the Organization of American States as it seeks a negotiated settlement to the conflict.
On Sunday, Chavez accused most of Venezuela's news media of waging a "terrorist and bloody" war against his leftist government. He accused the opposition of pursuing the same tactics that led to his brief ouster in April — at that time, a general strike, protests and a military coup — all backed by the local media.
A populist former army paratrooper elected in 1998 and re-elected in 2000, Chavez refuses to call elections that could cut his term, though he's offered to take on challengers in a binding referendum next year.

The child was rescued after Atkinson told a neighbor nearly 18 months ago his stepdaughter was locked in a closet in the mobile home he shared with his wife.
Defense attorney Malcolm Dade had argued the girl's abuse was orchestrated by Atkinson's wife. He said Atkinson was dominated and intimidated by his wife but eventually saved the girl's life by confessing her whereabouts.
Prosecutors argued Atkinson should have acted earlier to stop the abuse, which they said had gone on for five or six years. They also said he participated in the
abuse by installing locks on the outside of a closet door.
"He knew she needed food and nutrition and medical attention. He knew she needed love and attention. But what does he do? He locks her in a closet," lead prosecutor Patricia Hogue said. "He had every opportunity along the way to do something about this. But rather than do something, he participated in it."
The 8-year-old girl weighed 25 pounds and stood 3 feet tall when she was rescued from the closet in June 2001. She has since been adopted by a couple who had tried to adopt her at birth.
Church files incriminating
The Associated Press
Church scandals have drawn national attention over the years a pedophile priest in Louisiana, one in New England another in Dallas.
But none of those cases, or hundreds of others in the past two decades, threatened to destroy the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church in America like the clerical sex abuse crisis did this year.
What set 2002 apart was this:
The most damaging revelations came not from alleged victims but from the church's own files.
Over the objections of the Boston Archdiocese, The Boston Globe persuaded a judge in January to unseal church documents regarding claims of molestation against priests. The files provided the most extensive evidence to date that preventing scandal in the church consistently took precedence over protecting children.
Those records alone — with letters from bishops expressing support for accused priests, not victims — would have been enough to keep the scandal alive for months.
But as the year wore on, more damaging church documents were made public in Boston and dioceses from coast-to-coast. Each release undermined bishops' pledges that they had revealed all about their past mistakes, and gave hundreds of alleged victims the confidence to come forward.
The toll on the church — morally, financially, legally — is still hard for Catholics to grasp, though at least 325 of the nation's 46,000 priests have resigned or been removed from their posts this year from Maine to California. Bishops in Milwaukee, New York, Lexington, Ky., and Palm Beach, Fla., stepped down after being enmeshed in sex scandals.
Another round of disturbing revelations came in December, again in Boston. Plaintiffs' lawyers released documents that showed the archdiocese sheltering several rogue priests, including one clergyman who had failed years ago to immediately call police when the mother of his children overdosed on drugs. Demands intensified for Boston Cardinal Bernard Law to resign.
Soon, Catholics around the country demanded to know if their bishops had also failed to punish offenders.
"There are cases that endured into the '90s that weren't corrected in Boston and elsewhere," said Scott Appleby, a University of Notre Dame history professor who spoke at the national bishops' meeting in June. "The bishops have systematically mishandled the situation."
Bishops at first felt the outrage was misplaced. In the early 1990s, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops developed a set of guidelines meant to improve dioceses' response to abuse claims and put victims first.
The prelates noted that most of the cases revealed this year
involved claims from before the policy had been adopted. They blamed the media and church critics for ignoring the reforms.
But the bishops' protests rang hollow as parishioners learned about the depth of the malfeasance in some dioceses.
Bishops acknowledged that many abuse claims had never been forwarded to civil authorities and prosecutors convened grand juries to learn why.
Church leaders also revealed they had paid millions of dollars to quietly settle abuse cases, but few would discuss the source of the funding. Some parishioners responded by withholding donations.
Church leaders took dramatic steps to regain their credibility.
They met with the pope approved a new policy that bars all abusers from church work, formed a lay National Review Board to ensure every diocese complies with the new standards and hired a former FBI investigator to lead their new child protection office.
But even as they took these actions, the crisis would not die. The Archdiocese of Boston is now considering bankruptcy as it faces millions of dollars in claims from sex abuse victims. About 200 abuse lawsuits are pending against the Archdiocese of Louisville, Ky., alone.
And California dioceses are bracing for a flood of lawsuits next year because the state loosened its statute of limitations for abuse claims effective Jan. 1.

Creativity makes presents personal
By Louise Stauffer
lstauffer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Craft supplies like this skein of yarn can be turned into personalized gifts such as scarves or sweaters.
Zach Straus/Kansan
Some students use their creativity instead of cash to provide presents for the holiday season. Whether it's a hand-knit sweater or a personalized candle, homemade gifts warm the heart while being easy on the wallet.
Amy Barton, St. Louis freshman, said she made most of her gifts for friends. Barton scoured the aisles of Hobby Lobby Creative Center, 1801 W. 23rd St., for supplies, and came up with original, inexpensive ideas. With glass jars, candles, stickers, paint and tinsel, she made ten of her friends candleholders, each bearing the person's name. Barton said she spent a lot less money by making the gifts.
"For ten people I spent $40; it's real cheap," she said.
Barton said she preferred giving, and getting, handmade presents because of the personal touch.
"It shows they took time and thought about what they wanted to make," she said.
For those who need help creating a gift, craft kits provide guidelines while still letting the creative side shine.
Bob Zimbeck, manager of Hobby Lobby, said the store sells a variety of ornament-making kits. Zimbeck said the store sold a lot of cross-stitch and needlepoint kits around the holidays. But if the present must be ready by Christmas morning, stitching must begin soon.
"They can use those kits if they're fast, but it's getting a little late." he said.
Sheri Richling, employee of Stitch On Needlework and Gifts, 926 Massachusetts St., said many students came into the store during the holidays looking for ways to make presents.
"They're looking for stuff to give mom," she said.
Richling said cross-stitching patterns and quilting kits were what people bought to make presents.
And it's not only women who enjoy sewing.
"It's generally girls that come in, but some boys too," she said.
Owen Murphy, Lawrence resident, doesn't sew, but he uses other skills to make gifts. Employed as a carpenter, Murphy made his girlfriend a zen garden one year for Christmas. He wasn't satisfied with the garden he had ordered from the store, so he made one himself. Murphy said he also made gifts such as shelves or cabinets for his mom. Because carpentry is something he enjoys, Murphy said it was not a big challenge to make presents. Plus, it kept him out of stores during the holiday season.
"I hate shopping," he said.
Katy Kirkpatrick, Prairie Village senior, needed no pattern for her family's gift this Christmas. Kirkpatrick is making a claymation scene for her family. The scene has a clay figure of each member of the family sitting together for a portrait. Kirkpatrick said she was planning to take still pictures of the scene and give a print to each family member.
"I got the idea when I did an illustration for a magazine and I used claymation," she said.
Kirkpatrick said her family expected her to give handmade gifts every year.
Food is a gift that may not keep as well as crafts, but it still has an individual touch.
Barton said she preferred to
bake cookies or give candy to her guy friends. Geri Riekhof, owner of The Bay Leaf, 725 Massachusetts St., said cookies made with holiday-themed cookie cutters made good gifts. She said recipes for soups, casseroles for Christmas morning, and all types of desserts were being sought at the store. A favorite hand-written recipe would be a good gift as well. Riekhof said.
After a present is made, wrapping needs to be considered. Although the cost can be low for a roll of wrapping paper, there are options that are free and environmentally conscious. Instead of using commercially bought wrapping paper, students can wrap paperless with posters and old maps, fabric scraps or sections of the newspaper.

Organization says more to Christmas

Although much of the Christmas season is based around celebrating the birth of Christ, some students do not observe the religious part of the holiday. Instead, they use it as an opportunity to spend time with friends and loved ones.
"The general theme outside of religion is to be nice to people and appreciate people more, and you don't need religion for that," said Stephanie Kirmer, president of KU's Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics.
Kirmer, Topeka freshman, said her family was not religious.
but that her mother had a Christmas tree for sentimental reasons.
Rather than go to church to celebrate the holidays, Kirmer said her family focused on spending time together and appreciating one another.
Last week SOMA hosted an event at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union entitled "How The Christians Stole Christmas," in which it debated the authenticity of the birth date of Jesus. Kirmer said SOMA had no other plans for the holidays.
Many atheists and agnostics generally weren't interested in observing holidays that have any kind of religious basis, said Tim Miller, professor of religious
studies.
"You can't escape Christmas in this culture," Miller said. "I don't care what your outlook is, to some extent you're going to be caught up with it."
Miller said that the number of atheists and agnostics in the country had stayed consistent for quite some time.
"Around 95 to 96 percent of people believe in God, so there's around 4 or 5 percent that don't, and that's survey data that's been around for some time," Miller said.
But as the numbers stay consistent, so do holiday traditions of family gatherings and gift exchanges.
"Our culture dictates that we
get together with people," Miller said, adding that even though some members of a family were religious while others were not, many families came together at the holidays just out of tradition, regardless of religious beliefs.
Kirmer agreed.
"People are really nice to their family during the holidays because this time of year reminds them that family is important to them, not because god says it's important to," she said. "Religion isn't necessarily important for the holiday season to mean something to you."

Researchers find new treatments for obesity gene
By Lindsay Hanson
Ihanson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For Lindsey Holstein, 13 year-old Lincoln, Neb., resident, research at the University of Kansas Medical Center and Children's Mercy Hospital has meant relief from the obsessive-compulsive thoughts that have haunted her all her life.
Doctors diagnosed Prader-Willi Syndrome when Holstein was 2 years old. Characterized by the mutation of the body's fifteenth chromosome, Prader-Willi patients are often obese and battle constant food cravings.
Coupled with food obsessions, the patients' bodies break down food more slowly and store it as fat more efficiently.
They're not trying to find a cure, but members of the research team are looking to characterize the different forms of the Prader-Willi chromosome to help patients like Holstein overcome the idiosyncrasies of the syndrome, including its relation to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Travis Thompson, a Med Center psychologist, and Merlin Butler, a genetics expert at Children's Mercy Hospital are leading the team that is working with the syndrome.
That team received a grant from the National Institutes of Health worth $1 million, distributed over five years and a grant from the Kansas Citybased Hall Family Foundation.
The team recently reported that incessant eating was caused by more than one gene, while previously, researchers had focused on hunger and the way the body burns fat.
Thompson said Prader-Willi patients were not only chronically hungry but were also obsessed with food.
Holstein's mother, Wanda, said she heard of the research through her membership with the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association, an organization for parents of people with the syndrome.
An advertisement led Wanda Holstein and her husband, Jim, to work with Jamie Young, a research assistant professor in psychiatry at the
"A lot of the times parents are really hesitant to even think about putting their child on medication. If you get to the point where we were — where she needs medication or I do — it can make a huge difference." Wanda Holstein
Wanda Holstein Lincoln,Neb., resident
Med Center.
Young told the Holsteins about drug therapy, an option they had not previously considered.
"A lot of the times parents are really hesitant to even think about putting their child on medication," Wanda Holstein said. "If you get to the point where we were—where she needs medication or I do— it can make a huge difference."
She said before Young's intervention, her daughter had run into trouble at school because of her "explosive" temper. Young prescribed Prozac, which helped Lindsey to concentrate and get along with her classmates.
Wanda Holstein said Lindsey was no longer worrying about other people's opinions, a topic that she had often obsessed over before taking the medicine.
Jamie Young, research assistant professor in psychiatry and investigator on the project, said a diagnosis of Prader-Willi Syndrome could mean a person was missing part of chromosome 15, missing all of chromosome 15 or had a duplicate chromosome.
Because different conditions of the gene produce different effects on patients, studying the gene is imperative to learn the differences and help people like the Holsteins harness behaviors like Lindsey's outbursts, Young said.
Young said the team would be applying in June for a new $1 million grant to continue its research.

Kansas lacking in threes
What would be the effect on football if a field goal of more than 45 yards counted for four points instead of three? How about a slap shot in hockey from beyond the blue line counting for two goals instead of one, or a home run of more than 450 feet putting two runs on the scoreboard rather than the customary one?
Those proposals seem quite unfair, a travesty to the integrity of those sports.
But in 1986, the NCAA followed the precedence of the NBA by inflicting such a rule on college basketball. In that year, the three-point field goal was introduced. The idea was novel at the time. Fire up a jump shot from beyond 19 feet, 9 inches, and you're rewarded with an extra point. Reaction to the rule went both ways.
Regardless, the three-pointer may have been the most influential change to college basketball since the bottoms of peach baskets were removed. And throughout its 17-year history, Kansas has utilized the three-pointer to the fullest.
Proponents of the rule said the three-pointer brought a fresh element to college basketball, supplying increased excitement and ticket sales. Advisaries said the three-pointer supplied an unfair advantage to teams willing to build their squads around shooters.
From old-school long-distance bombers Terry Brown, Billy Thomas and Adonis Jordan to new-age sharp-shooters Jeff Boschee and Kirk Hinrich, Kansas coach Roy Williams always has had the weapons in his arsenal to keep up in college basketball's ongoing three-point war. Williams' past teams also have shown the intensity needed to keep opposing teams' three-point games at bay.
But this season, the three-point tables have turned. In a frustrated rant after Division II Central Missouri State burned Kansas for ten three-pointers, sophomore forward Wayne Simien delivered a one-liner that every Jayhawk should cement in his head, Williams included.
"In college basketball, you live by the three and you die by the three," Simien said.
In Simien's comment is taken to heart and applied, it's easy to see that while the Jayhawks may not be dead, their pulse in regards to the three-point game is surely at a standstill.
Last season, Kansas knocked down three-pointers at a 41.8 percent success rate. Though its defense was by no means remarkable — opponents shot 36.1 percent from beyond the arc — Kansas won the three-point battle via Hinrich and Boschee because both shot better than 46 percent.
Boschee's absence this year is far more hampering than expected. It's no argument that last year's team went when Drew Gooden went. Somehow or another, Gooden affected every Kansas possession, offensive or defensive. But Boschee had a different, subtler effect.
He was never flashy, but he was Kansas' rock. Need a big shot? Well, we'll just find Jeff off a screen and he'll knock it down, Williams would think. Williams always said he was confident that every Boschee three-pointer was going in when it left the North Dakotan's right hand.
Now, with Boschee gone and Hinrich struggling through injury, Kansas' three-point game has become anemic, practically non-existent. The Jayhawks are shooting a mere 29 percent from three-

But is the beast abused?
Jessica Melvin and Midnight Matador are the latest installments in the 56-year tradition of the Masked Rider. Melvin was selected from 25 riders to lead the Texas Tech team onto the football field.

They are as common on Saturday afternoons as tuba players, cheerleaders and even their counterparts in the fuzzy suits. But they wouldn't know a football if one landed in their feed bowls.
"it's as much an educational program as an athletic program," said Larry Brumley, associate vice president of external relations at Baylor University.
Five Big 12 Conference schools — Texas, Colorado, Baylor, Texas A&M and Texas Tech — use live animal mascots to excite crowds and draw fans, but some of these schools have also drawn the irie of animal rights' groups.
Baylor sends one of its two live bears to home football and basketball games, elementary schools and alamni events. Together the bears, Joy and Lady, make about 80 appearances a year.
Proponents of using live animals as mascots said the animals provided an experience for fans that a costumed mascot could not.
A human in a suit cannot connect with young fans
as effectively as the Texas' longhorn, Bevo V, said Patrick Ryan, Texas senior. Ryan is president of the Silver Spurs — the organization responsible for handling Bevo.
"It's really for kids across the state," he said. "It really indoctrinates the kids into being true Longhorn fans."
But, animal rights' groups, such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, believe the live mascots shouldn't be forced to perform for humans' entertainment.
"We're not alleging that people are intentionally being cruel to these animals." said Amy Rhodes, animals and entertainment director for PETA. "The bottom line is that these are not willing participants."
Jessica Melvin doesn't share Rhodes' opinion. The Texas Tech graduate student in physical therapy serves as this year's Masked Rider. A costumed Melvin leads the Red Raiders onto the football field on the back of Midnight Matador, a 3-year-old quarter horse.
"I personally think he enjoys it," Melvin said. "He gets really excited before we run."
Melvin and two assistants are responsible for the training and daily care of the horse. She was selected from a field of 25 applicants through a rigorous qualifying process.
"This horse really does get great care," she said. He gets more pampered than I do."

Women look for experience

Kansan'sswriter
At times last weekend, the Kansas women's basketball team (4-1) looked like a group of upcoming stars. At other times the team looked like a group of youngsters suffering from growing pains.
Tonight against Wichita State (4-2)
they hope to find a happy medium.
The layhawks will travel to O'Shaughnessy Hall in hopes of returning to their early winning streak. In last weekend's Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic, the team shot only 19-of-33 from the free-throw line and was out-rebounded 79-60. That was one of the concerns that coach Marian Washington took away from the tournament.
"We've been working on our free throw shooting," Washington said.
"We've also been working on our half court game and our rebounding."
Tonight, the team wants to benefit from focusing on its weaknesses in practice. The Jayhawks also have to know what type of game to expect from the Shockers.
"Strong and powerful post game," freshman forward Tamara Ransburg said. "It's our time to shine and show them that we're strong and physical even though we're young."
Burras has led the way for the Jayhawks this season, averaging 15.2 points per game. She is complemented by sophomore guard Blair Waltz and freshman forward Crystal Kemp, who are both averaging in double figures as well.
Ransburg has been the most solid performer inside, averaging 8.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and four blocks per game.
For Wichita State, the majority of its
scoring comes from Ransburg's territory. Junior forward Carlesa Dixon is leading the team with 19 points per game, including a team high of 20 points in its win against Northern Arizona on Saturday.
The Shockers' starting center, junior Angela Buckner, has averaged a doubledouble per game so far for the team, with 14.3 points and 11.7 rebounds per game.
With eight newcomers on the Kansas roster, the obvious advantage that Wichita State will have is its experience. Instead of using her team's youth as an excuse, coach Washington wants her team to upgift fast for their own benefit.
"Just about every game we're going to be facing teams with more experience than us," Washington said. "We have the potential, but we still have to get the experience."

It would have be easy for the Jay hawks to stroll down to Tulsa tonight, boasting an undefeated record, but to Roy Williams, that would mean stepping outside of the program's reputation.
"I can schedule us to be 6-0," Williams said. "But that's not what I want to do, that's not what Kansas wants us to do, that's not what we've ever done."
With losses to North Carolina, Florida and Oregon, it is possible that Kansas could fall at the hands of another ranked team tonight at No.17 Tulsa (4-0).
Four starters return for the Golden Hurricane, and Williams said this was a team more than prepared for a home game against the Jayhawks.
"They've been looking forward to this game for a long time," Williams said. "They don't get that many Top-25 teams
to come in and play them at their place."
"Kansas basketball has been about winning, and when we don't win, it affects you because that's what we strive to do." Hinrich said.
The layhawks hold a 5-0 all time record against Tulsa, defeating them 93-85 last December at Kemper Arena in the Morse Chevrolet Shootout. Senior Kirk Hinrich said his morale was a little punctured after losing half of his team's first six games.
The strength of Kansas' schedule, although it punched three holes in the season, is a decision made voluntarily, said Williams, and going undefeated could had been an easy option.
"If you look around the country there are some teams that can schedule themselves into that," Williams said. "We've chosen to go the very difficult schedule route. We've played some good basketball teams."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 11).
Today's Birthday (Dec. 17)
You'll encounter a few frustrations this year, but don't let them get you down. They probably won't kill you, so they'll make you stronger, right? Things are getting all stirred up, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Keep making corrections till you're satisfied.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. It's not that you don't have love in your life; it's just that it's the slow, steady kind. Be gentle, or you'll scare it away. And that would be a pity.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. You'd rather express your feelings with hugs than with words, but words may have to do. Pictures are good - find one that says what you would if you could.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5. The same old way of doing things may now look like the hard way. You're running into a lot of frustrations, but life can go smoothly again. There's a lesson to be learned. Look for it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8. If this were a perfect world, this would be a vacation day, and you'd spend it applying sunscreen and brushing sand off your feet. If you can't go yet, rent "Endless Summer" and drift into fantasy - right after work.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Friends and loved ones are discovering their limitations right about now, and you should be able to help. Don't loan them money; give them creative ideas for free.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6. It's hard enough to make decisions without so many changes. Why don't you just wait until things settle down a bit? And stay out of traffic as much as possible.
CRA
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7. The last thing you want to do is run out of resources, so stop before that happens. You're excellent at controlling your impulses once you set your mind to it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. You'll achieve your objectives more effectively if you do what's necessary in private.Don't let everybody else in on the secret yet.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8. People may be surprised that you're not upset when things don't quite go as expected. You're more apt to be delighted to learn what doesn't work, and why.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7. All of a sudden your resources could feel very limited, regardless of whether they actually are. Take a break before you break the bank.

Rose's ban may be lifted
Wash Hands
The Associated Press
Pete Rose met with commissioner Bud Selig in Milwaukee two weeks ago to discuss the career hits leader's possible reinstatement to baseball, according to news reports.
Nothing was agreed to during the meeting including whether Rose would be reinstated, which would make him eligible for induction to the Hall of Fame, ESPN.com quoted unidentified sources as saying.
鱼
Since the meeting, there have been subsequent conversations between representatives of Selig and Rose, and proposals have been exchanged, ESPN.com reported.
ESTPIN.com WIXI-TV in Cincinnati, also quoting unidentified sources, reported that Rose and former teammate Mike Schmidt met with Selig.
Rose told the TV station through an unidentified friend that he would have no comment.
Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from baseball in August 1989 following an investigation into his
gambling. He applied for reinstatement in September 1997, but Selig has refused to rule on it, saying he hasn't seen any evidence that would make him alter the ban for the 17-time All-Star and 1973 NL MVP
Selig spokesman Rich Levin said Rose and Selig have not met since a brief conversation before Game 4 of the World Series in San Francisco. Rose, invited to appear for a baseball promotion about the game's memorable moments, got the longest ovation of any other player on the field.
"There have been a number of stories reporting alleged conversations or meetings between commissioner Selig and Pete Rose," Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, said yesterday in a statement. "Pete Rose applied for reinstatement to commissioner Selig several years ago that application has been pending since that time. Given the pendency of the application for reinstatement, neither the commissioner or anyone in our office will comment on the Pete Rose matter further."

Vitale admits coaching pitfalls; Duke top tournament prospect
Knight Ridder-Tribune
Has Dick Vitale ever met a coach he didn't love? That was the question Saturday in the pressroom as Vitale shot the breeze before the Kentucky-North Carolina game with a half-dozen writers.
"Me!" said Vitale, who mismanaged the 1978-79 Detroit Pistons team featuring Bob Lanier and M.L. Carr to a 50-52 record.
"I was a terrible coach!" he said
Dennis Franchione's defection from Alabama to Texas A&M ranked high on the sleaze factor because of this; Franchione didn't go back to Tuscaloosa to tell his own players. He made his assistants do it.
Duke is once again a serious national championship threat in men's basketball this season. Most impressive stat: The Blue Devils' 5-0 start has been accomplished without a current scorer in the ACC's top 10.
NFL oddity of the year: Pittsburgh lost 24-6 to
Trivia: North Carolina has had 10 different players win or share the ACC Player of the Year award in men's hoops, Name eight. Hint: In 1982 and 1993, two of the three years in which North Carolina won the national title, the Tar Heels did not boast the ACC's top player.
Houston on Sunday despite outgaining the Texans in yardage, 422-47. All three Houston touchdowns came defensively off mistakes by Steelers quarterback Tommy Maddox, who will retain the starting job Sunday against Carolina.
If you're somehow organized enough to be planning a Super Bowl party already, we all hate you. And, incidentally, the Super Bowl is Jan. 26. My pick: Tampa Bay over Oakland.
NFL writer Len Pasquarelli of ESPN.com notes that Bengals punter Travis Dorsch compiled a net average of about 64 inches (1.8 yards) in the Panthers' win three days ago — thanks mainly to Steve Smith's two long punt returns for touchdowns.

This is to the girl that was giving props to the KU girls basketball team. It's mathematically impossible for a team to go two for 0, so maybe you should focus what little brain power you have on your classes rather than basketball.

Former Nebraska player fined for fighting with girl
The 23-year-old Collins told Lancaster County Judge Gale Pokorny before sentencing Monday that he and his girlfriend are still dating and have had no altercations since he was ticketed.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Former Nebraska running back Thunder Collins was fined $300 for disturbing the peace charge during fights 18 months ago with his girlfriend.
"I want to apologize if I disturbed anyone's peace," Collins said.
Collins was charged in June 2001 with two counts of misdemeanor assault for fighting with his girlfriend once at the apartment they shared and the same day at the University's campus recreation center.
He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge last month. In exchange, prosecutors dropped the assault charges.
lowa QB Banks makes cut as College Player of Year
Not only did Banks become the nation's top-rated passer, he also led the Hawkeyes (11-1) back to national prominence and into the Orange Bowl.
For a guy who never started a college football game before this season, Iowa quarterback Brad Banks caught on pretty fast.
"I can't imagine a better success story," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. Brad wasn't on anyone's radar screen in late August. But he improved every week, and played his best in our biggest games."
Other than two fumbles in a loss to Iowa State, Banks was nearly perfect in No. 3 Iowa's winning season ever.
The miscues did nothing to take away from his sensational play, and Banks was chosen Monday as The Associated Press College Player of the Year.

Coach tells critical fans he's not opening letters
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams says although his mailbox has been flooded with advice for the men's basketball team, he won't read a single letter. The Jawhawks will try to solve their problems on their own tonight in Tulsa.

Roy Williams likes Jayhawk fans, and he said he looks forward to hearing from them — but not right now.
With a 3-3 record, a small group of Kansas fans are contacting Williams via anonymous letters, overflowing with opinions and suggestions.
While he appreciates the gesture, Williams said, he knows how to coach this team.
"I do know more about this team than anybody else does," he said. "I'm not reading one piece of mail, good, bad or indifferent. Some people are going to say things and I understand that, but for me as a coach, nobody's more critical than I am."
Williams said he encouraged players not to read anything about the team. Senior Kirk Hinrich said he enjoyed reading what fans and media had to say at this point in the season, but it didn't change the way he played.
"I read the newspapers—I just like to see what people are saying," Hinrich said. "Whether it's positive or negative either way, I don't really read too much into it."
With a hampering back injury at Oregon, Hinrich played 39 minutes and led all Jayhawks with 24 points. He said his team was prepared to play with the pre-season No. 2 ranking on its back.
"I thought we were going to be ready to live up to that, but we didn't," Hinrich said. "Now we're just trying to get better every day and stop the bleeding."
In preparation for tonight's 7 p.m. game at No.17 Tulsa.
Williams showed his team 13 minutes of Oregon game clips, but the session lasted more than an hour, he said. Junior forward Bryant Nash said the video dissection helped point out a reoccurring problems that hinder the Hawks.
"We take shots before the shot clock gets past 20 seconds," Nash said. "We just need to be more patient."
While this team faces challenges that last year's Final Four squad did not encounter, he said it will get through this tough early season lineup.
"I realize that we have some limitations and that we had to get some questions answered," Williams said. "Adversity sometimes is good for you."

point range, placing them last in the Big 12 Conference.
Malashock CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Sophomore guards Aaron Miles and Keith Langford have tackled the task of replacing Boschee to some extent, but it's apparent they're not fully comfortable with that role yet. Even sophomore guard Michael Lee
since his inspired 20-minute, 11-point and 8-rebound performance Saturday has offered a glimpse of hope in the three-point game.
Langford is Kansas' most accurate bomber at the moment at 5-for-12 (41.7 percent), but to get the Kansas offense rolling, to command opposing defenses' respect, the Jayhawks will need to find their three point touch.
But Miles' strength lies in creating scoring opportunities for others, Langford thrives on driving to the basket, and Lee is a defensive hawk rather than a consistent shooter.
Even more troubling is Kansas' recent failure to defend the three-point shot. Before the season Langford said a potential lack in offensive three-point
Instead, Kansas has seen minimal change in its three-point defense. Last season, Kansas' opponents dropped in 36.1 percent of three-pointers, and this season they are hitting for 38 percent, putting Kansas second-to-last in Big 12 three-point defense.
production would need to be offset by an increased effort in perimeter defense.
Even worse, Kansas' inability to defend the three has come to the forefront in two of Kansas' three early losses. Florida converted 14-of-31 three-pointers and Oregon torched Kansas for 9-of-18 threes Saturday.
Kansas shot a dismal 8-of-30 combined from three-point range in those two games. It's simple arithmetic. If Kansas shoots 41.8 percent and defends at 36.1 percent, as it did last season, the Jayhawks win both those games.
Langford scratched his head last week, making a puzzled look, before reacting to a question regarding the issues with Kansas' perimeter defense.
"We need to stop giving up penetration because when someone gets beat, someone else has to help him out," Langford said. "That leaves someone wide open."
That knock on the Kansas man-to-man defense shows that by being too aggressive, by overplaying and over-pursuing, the Jayhawks have left three point shooters free. Kansas went to a zone Saturday against Oregon for some time, but the result was more unguarded opponents.
"We absolutely have to get up on guys, get a hand in their faces," Langford said. "Three-pointers are killing us right now. We've got to be able to defend that better."
Sure, Kansas enjoys a stranglehold down low with Simien and senior Nick Collison and normally wins rebounding and free-throw battles, but the three-point shot still commands attention considering the lack of depth and foul issues with Kansas' big men.
So as the Jayhawk faithful point fingers, rant on radio shows and demand answers as to the cause for Kansas' slow start, look no further;
Just glance at the line. The one 19 feet, 9 inches from the hoop.

but never pulled ahead.
AMES, Iowa — Troy Bell scored 26 points and freshman Craig Smith had all 14 of his points in the second half, leading Boston College to an 85-78 victory over Iowa State last night.
Smith had made 18 straight shots going into the game, but the streak ended when Jackson Vroman blocked his first attempt of the night.
Bell opened the second half with a 3-pointer that gave Boston College (4-2) a 59-26 lead. The Eagles spent the rest of the game holding off Iowa State (5-1), which got to within two points
Jared Homan led Iowa State with a career-high 18 points. Jake Sullivan and Adam Haluska scored 16 each, but Sullivan, the Cyclones' leading scorer for the season, made just 3-of-15 shots.
Homan's layup on a pass from
Sullivan cut the lead to 64-62 with 7:25 left, and the Cyciones trailed 72-69 after Haluska's 3-pointer with 5:04 remaining. But Boston College scored on seven of its last nine possessions to stay on top.
Boston College built a 10-point halftime lead with Bell and Craig Smith sidelined by fouls. Bell sat out most of the final 6:57 after getting his second foul. Smith went to the bench with three fouls at the 4:49 mark.

Mascots CONTINUED FROM 1B
All potential Masked Riders must pass a written exam on horse knowledge, compete in a riding contest and demonstrate proficiency driving a truck and trailer. The field is then narrowed to five for oral interviews conducted by an panel comprised of athletics department staff, former riders, students and university administrators. The winner of the year-long appointment receives a $1,000 scholarship from Wells Fargo, the main sponsor of the Masked Rider program.
Rhodes said that the skill level of the rider or the care of the horse didn't affect PETA's position; the life of a mascot was not ideal. She cited the amount of time Midnight spent traveling from event to event in the back of a trailer. Between April and August 2002 Melvin and Midnight put nearly 10,000 miles on the program's truck and trailer, Melvin said.
The trailer proved to be a dangerous place for Black Phantom Raider, a former Texas Tech mascot.
While driving to an appearance, a car crashed into the trailer, killing the horse.
After the accident, PETA sent a letter to the school, asking it to

Carroccio maintains Bobby exhibited neurotic behavior, caused by his cramped quarters and poor diet at Baylor. He also had cavities — an effect of Oreos and Dr Pepper he was fed as treats.
Texas' Bevo V appears at football games, alumni events and President Bush's inauguration. The former national grand champion steer has served as mascot for 15 seasons.
Also at issue is the turnover of mascots at the Baylor. The school keeps the bears until they are unmanageable in a school setting. Brumley said. That time depends on each bear, he said, and the university has kept animals as long as 10 years. Joy and Lady are Baylor's second and third bears in the past six years. Once retired, the mascots are sent Bear Country USA — a drive-through zoo in South Dakota.
Baylor hasn't fed its mascots either treat since 1996, shortly after it discovered Bobby's dental problems, said Baylor's Brumley. He also denied that any bears had been mistreated and said he did not think Carroccio was qualified to diagnose Bobby's neurosis.
"Understand that the Austin Zoo is a private zoo — it's not a municipal zoo," Brumley said. "It's basically a big animal collection for Cindy."

"It's certainly not something to boast about, sending animals to this terrible place," Rhodes said.
Neither PETA nor Carroccio have a high opinion of Bear Country.
Carroccio said she just wanted Baylor to expand its facility,keep its retired bears and provide a more natural habitat than the concrete floors Joy and
Baylor University is under fire for the treatment of its live mascots. Joy, left, and Lady are the school's second and third bears in the past six years.
Lady live on.
"In a perfect world, they would keep these two bears, keep them in better place and possibly add more bears," she said. "The could create a bear sanctuary. The bears would still be a symbol of the university, but they would be much more noble. I think it would speak volumes about the university."
Bevo, a former grand champion steer, resides on a ranch an hour north of Austin, where he receives, according to Texas' Ryan the best possible care. Reveille lives in a 'Texas A&M dorm with her handler.
Texas' longhorn, Bevo, and Texas A&M's American Collie, Reveille VII, are two examples of live animal mascots kept in a more humane and natural environment, she said.
Despite his posh surroundings, the Bevo's handling is still criticized. The bulk of complaints stem from the steer's thin appearance. Now serving his 15th season as the Texas mascot, the 18-year-old Bevo's hip bones
Bevo may have escaped Carrocchio's objection, but that does not mean Texas' mascot program is without its critics.
had become more prominent in recent years, which, Ryan dismisses as typical of an older steer
When members of the Silver Spurs obliged newly elected President Bush's request to have Bevo present at his 2000 inauguration, the group was met by PETA protesters, Ryan said. Protesters said Bevo had no place at the ceremony and was being abused.
Rhodes said PETA was more concerned with the Baylor bears, but it did not condone the Bevo tradition.
"It's just out of ignorance that people make these claims," Ryan said.
"With the exception of the collie, we are concerned about all those animals," Rhodes said. "We just have to pick and choose where we can spend our resources."
PETA does not object to Texas A&M's collie because dogs are are normally comfortable at home with people, Rhodes said. PETA would have a problem with it only if the 2-year-old dog was mistreated or kept in a kennel, she said.
Revelle's life is far removed from that situation, said Mascot Cpl. Jordan Caddick.
"We have the joke that she is the most pampered dog in America," he said. "If she looks like she is too tired, we'll carry her up the stairs."
Caddick is a sophomore in the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, the organization responsible for caring for Reveille. Caddick said handing the dog over to her next caretaker next year would be difficult.
"She lives in the dorm with me," he said. "She goes everywhere I go. She goes home for Christmas with me. She goes to class with me. We're pretty much joined at the hip."

SBC: A community partner, contributing to Kansas
"For over a century, SBC has served our state as a community partner, in challenging and prosperous times alike."
JOHN H. BURKE
For more information about the benefits of full telecommunications competition, please visit www.connectkansas.org.
You've probably heard some of it — the latest criticism of SBC Southwestern Bell by our competitors, working hard and spending plenty to try to mislead customers and state leaders.
SBC
Well, I've worked for SBC here in Kansas for a long time, and I know what the real face of SBC looks like.
For over a century, SBC has served our state as a community partner, in challenging and prosperous times alike. Despite last year's weak economy, SBC invested over $790 million in Kansas.
SBC is interested in the people it serves and their success, which is why a large part of the company's investment is in people. In our state, SBC:
- employs over 3,000 Kansans;
- has an annual payroll of over $162 million;
- contributes over $130 million to vital state programs through annual taxes;
Our employees and retirees invest in their communities, too, through the SBC Pioneers. Last year, they donated over 120,000 volunteer hours — about $2 million worth of "sweat equity" — across Kansas.
- buys about $300 million in goods and services
in your town in Kansas businesses; and
SBC's biggest investment has been in technology Last year, we invested almost $200 million in infrastructure improvements, delivering high-speed Internet access to more Kansans — because extending broadband stimulates our state's economy and helps keep Kansas competitive.
- gives about $2 million a year to charitable organizations and initiatives statewide.
At SBC, we understand that "service quality" is more than a catch phrase. When disaster strikes, we're there for our customers. For example, during last winter's record-breaking ice storm, repair requests were 600% above normal--67,000 requests for repairs in a 15 day period. Over 600 SBC technicians went to work to get every single telephone back in service.
SBC has provided high-quality service to Kansans for over 100 years, and we want to keep on investing in this state. We're your neighbors,your friends and your community partners — we're the real face of SBC.

Wright shines at Texas A&M
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Texas A&M seems to be winning those close games it used to lose, and a major reason has to be freshman Antoine Wright.
The 6-foot-7-inch swingman, one of the most highly sought recruits to sign with the Aggies, has been named Big 12 Conference freshman of the week for the second week in a row.
"That says a lot about his ability to play the game," coach Melvin Watkins said yesterday in the Big 12 coaches' weekly conference call. "But it also speaks to his ability to bring
some confidence to the team. Any good player has a way of helping other players bring their game up another notch. That's saying a lot for a freshman."
The native of San Bernardino, Calif., averaged 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and four assists in three victories last week. He had back-toback double-doubles against Tennessee and Prairie View. He had a career-high 12 rebounds against Prairie View and blocked the would-be game-winner at the end of regulation.
"He's such a talented player," said Watkins. "But
more importantly, he's a good teammate. He gets along with his players and is in position to help guys out. Those intangibles that may not show up in a stat sheet are things he's brought to this team, and we sure embrace."
"I'm sure I'll have a lot of dissenters in this thought, but college football is the most important college sport," Bliss said.
As Baylor continues to struggle with its football program in an effort to become competitive in the Big 12, a very interested observer has been basketball coach Dave Bliss.
Gooden takes Memphis to victory
Grizzlies 107. Heat 96
MIAMI - Drew Gooden scored 25 points and Wesley Person and Pau Gasol each added 24 as the Memphis Grizzlies won their first road game of the year, 107-96 over the Miami Heat on yesterday.
Eddie Jones broke out of a scoring slump for the Heat, finishing with a season-high 33 points.
Tied at 84, the Grizzlies ran off eight straight points for a 92-84 lead with 5:23 left in the fourth. Gooden hit a pair of baseline jumpers, and Lorenzen Wright and Gasol each scored during the stretch.
Gasol's jumper pushed the lead to 95-84 with 3:43 left.
The Grizzlies led by as many as 13 points in the first half, but the Heat closed with a 12-2 run to close within 54-51 at the break.
Memphis opened a 65-53 lead early in the third, but Miami, led by Jones' 13 points, finished on a
25-11 run to lead 78-76 at the end of the period.
Trail Blazers 98. Wizards 79
WASHINGTON - In his first game against Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen had one of his best games of the season.
With a lively bounce to nearly every step, Pippen had 14 points, seven rebounds and five assists as the Portland Trail Blazers took a quick lead and led easily from start to finish to beat the Washington Wizards 98-79 yesterday.
Pippen made six of seven shots and tied for Derek Anderson for the team-high in scoring. All five Portland starters were in double figures before the end of the third quarter.
The Trail Blazers outhustled and outworked the Wizards, outscoring them 50-28 in the paint and 20-8 on fastbreaks. They were ahead by 11 at the end of the first
quarter, and the Wizards never got within single digits again.
Knicks 97. SuperSonics 80
NEW YORK - Allan Houston scored 25 points, Kurt Thomas had 22 and New York's point guards combined for 24 in a 97-80 victory over the Seattle Super-Sonics on yesterday night.
Howard Eisley and Charlie Ward scored 12 points each for the Knicks on a night when Latrell Sprewell struggled and scored only nine points.
Gary Payton had 20 points but only four assists _ more than six below his league-leading average. Vladimir Radmanovic added 17 and Desmond Mason, making his first start of the season, had 12.
Baylor athletic director will replace coach soon
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Kentucky coach Guy Morris is set to become the second Southeastern Conference football coach in a week to jump to the Big 12 Conference.
Morriss may be introduced as the replacement for fired Baylor coach Kevin Steele during a news conference yesterday in Waco.
Morriss was on the Baylor campus Monday before returning to Lexington, Ky., where he announced his resignation as the Wildcats' coach.
Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart confirmed the resignation Monday night, saying only that Morriss, a Texas native, resigned to take another coaching job.
Barnhart said he wanted a replacement for Morriss hired by Christmas. He said he had a list of possible replacements, though he did not identify any candidates.
"Baylor comes along and puts together a package that's outstanding," Barnhart said at a news conference Tuesday. "If you're in Guy's shoes, you've got to look at those kinds of things for your family. He's been in the game for an awfully long time. Those opportunities don't come along very often and for him to have the opportunity to do that for his family, my hat's off to him."
"I want somebody who's not afraid to come in and win a championship," he said. "I want somebody who can talk about competing annually in the top half of this
conference. I want someone who can talk about taking our kids to bowl games and letting them experience what it feels like to be in postseason play.
Dennis Franchione left Alabama — which like Kentucky is on NCAA probation — last week after a 10-3 season to become the new coach at Texas A&M, where he replaced fired 14-year coach R.C. Slocum.
Like Morriss, Franchione returned to Texas, having previously coached TCU for three seasons.
Steele was fired Nov. 3, but coached Baylor's last three games, all losses to cap a 3-9 season. Steele was 9-36 over four years and 1-31 in the Big 12.
The Bears lost their first 25 conference games under Steele before a 35-32 win over Kansas on Oct.5.
The 51-year-old Morriss was 9-14 in two seasons as Kentucky's coach. He replaced Hal Mumme when the former coach resigned in February 2001 amid internal and NCAA investigations.
Kentucky was 7-5 this season, but wasn't eligible for a bowl because of NCAA sanctions.
it was the Wildeats' first sevenwin season since 1998, the final season for quarterback Tim Couch.
After the Wildcats won their first four games this season — their best start in 18 years — Barnhart rewarded Morriss by adding two more seasons to his contract, through the 2007 season.
The UK Athletics Association had expected to discuss Morriss' contract, and a possible raise, during its scheduled meeting yesterday.
Morriss made $400,000 a year at Kentucky, including a base salary of $170,000 plus compensation for his radio and TV shows and the school's endorsement deal with Nike.
While details of his Baylor contract weren't known, Morriss could make about $1 million annually at the Big 12's only private school.
Morriss was on the losing end of one of the most bizarre finishes when LSU won 33-30 at Kentucky on a deflected 75-yard touchdown pass Nov. 9.
As the final play was still unfolding, Morriss was sopping wet — already doused with Gatorade — while fireworks were exploding from the scoreboard and Wildcats fans were attacking a goal post.
Morriss is a native of Colorado City, Texas, and played offensive guard at TCU from 1969-72. He played 15 NFL seasons for the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots, appearing in two Super Bowls.
After several assistant jobs in college and the pros, Morriss became Kentucky's offensive line coach under Mumme in 1997.
Morriss is expected to bring most of his Kentucky staff with him, including two former Baylor assistants — defensive coordinator John Goodner and offensive line coach Chris Lancaster.

Football greats to be inducted into Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — George "Sonny" Franck never thought he'd live to see this day.
The former All-America tailback at Minnesota from 1938-40 didn't know whether he would ever make the College Football Hall of Fame — despite his accomplishments with the Golden Gophers.
"I thought maybe I'd die first," Franck said.
He was wrong.
the 84-year-old Franck is one of 15 former greats set to be inducted into the Hall of Fame Tuesday night. The other players are Auburn split end Terry Beasley, Princeton running back Cosmo lacavazzi, Arizona State receiver John Jefferson, Southern California safety Ronnie Lott, Pittsburgh quarterback Dan Marino, Navy tailback Napoleon McCallum, Michigan offensive
guard Reggie McKenzie, Georgia Tech defensive back Randy Rhino, Texas offensive tackle Jerry Sisemore, Kansas State linebacker Gary Spani, Tennessee defensive tackle Reggie White and Missouri tight end Kellen Winslow.
The coaches to be inducted are Carmen Cozza, who spent 32 seasons at Yale, and Earle Bruce, who coached at Tampa, Iowa State, Ohio State, Northern Iowa and Colorado State.
Franck, the oldest of this year's inductees, also played quarterback, safety, and was a punt and kickoff returner. In 1940, he finished third in voting for the Heisman Trophy, was an All-American and helped the Golden Gophers win the national championship with an 8-0 record.
He played alongside Bruce Smith, another College Hall of Fame member, and the two combined for more than 60 percent of Minnesota's touchdowns.
Francé said he never worried about making the Hall of Fame.
"I thought, if they miss me, they miss me," Franck said. "Maybe I'm too old to worry about those types of things... Sometimes when you're in your 80s, people forget about you."
One of the games he remembers most vividly was in the season finale against Wisconsin in 1940.
After college, Franck signed up with the Navy and served time as a World War II captain USMCR/Fighter Pilot.
He returned an interception for a touchdown in Minnesota's 22-13 win, which sealed the national championship.
He won nine battle stars and survived his plane being shot down in the South Pacific in 1945.
He returned to the United
States after the war and spent a few seasons with the New York Giants. Franck went on to coach high school football and is retired and living in Rock Island, Ill.
"I'm so happy to be here," Franck said. "The guys worked so hard to get me in. They pushed and pushed and pulled the right buttons."
Another player surprised with his selection was Spani, the first player to be honored from Kansas State. Spani was the school's first consensus All-America in 1977 and is the Wildeats' career leader in tackles (543) and assists (343), playing during a time when Kansas State was not nearly as good as it is now.
Spani credits Kansas State's turnaround to coach Bill Snyder. He was on the hiring committee when the job came open and knew Snyder was the perfect fit.
"Kansas State has done a lot in
the last 10 years," Spani said. "It's an honor to represent the old-timers. Kansas State struggled so much prior to me getting there and after I left. It's a miracle what coach Snyder pulled off."
McCallum is hoping for a miracle for Navy. The Midshipmen have struggled recently, going 2-10 this season, and McCallum said it's been frustrating to see what has happened to the program.
"They have a very unique situation, they can be as good as they want to be," said McCallum, who played from 1981-85 and set 26 school rushing and return records. "I get mad. They have potential. I know it. Because of the standards the administration set for themselves, it's difficult."
Also honored yesterday were the National Scholar Athletes, selected from all NCAA divisions. The Division I-A winners
are offensive tackle Kyle Eaton of Oklahoma State, linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer of Vanderbilt, linebacker Bradie James of LSU, end Chris Kelsay of Nebraska, quarterback Kliff Kingsbury of Texas Tech and offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb of Georgia.
The Division I-AA winners are running back Cameron Atkinson of Princeton, running back Ryan Johnson of Montana State and safety Mark Kasmer of Dayton. Quarterback Kelby Klosterman of North Dakota was selected from Division II, and cornerback Todd Baldwin of Augustana (Ill.) College, wide receiver Andrew Hilliard from the University of St. Thomas (Minn.) and linebacker Brandon Roberts from Washington University were selected from Division III.
Wide receiver Luke Klinker of Nebraska Wesleyan was selected from NAIA.
Woods' caddie drowns fan's camera
The Associated Press
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — With $200,000 on the line, Tiger Woods dug his feet in the bunker, waggled his sand wedge over the ball and was at the top of his swing when the silence was pierced by a nerve-racking noise he has come to despise.
Click!
Splash!
Even more outrageous was the sound that followed.
Not long after someone took a premature picture of Woods at the Skins Game, caddie Steve Williams took the law — or the lens, in this case — into his own hands and threw the camera in the pond surrounding the 18th green at Landmark Golf Club.
"I walked over to him and grabbed the camera," Williams said. "He put up a little resistance, but not much."
The question is: who crossed
the line? Does a caddie have the right to destroy someone's property?
"Just because he's Tiger Woods's caddie doesn't give him the right to do that," said Vijay Singh. "If my caddie did that, I'd make him fish it out of the lake."
No one knew who the fan was, only that he was not authorized to have a camera or be stationed inside the ropes. Policies make it clear that cameras are not allowed once the tournament starts, although that has never stopped anyone before.
"Did Stevie throw the camera away? I've been wanting to do that for a long time," said Davis Love III. "I've taken them away from people, but I haven't smashed one or thrown one yet. I think it's fair."
It was not clear whether Williams would be fined or ordered to reimburse the man, if he ever comes forward. Photo-
journalists who saw the camera said it was worth about $7,000.
Any fine — and Woods said he expected one — is assessed to the player, who then passes it along to the caddie. But Woods said he would pick up the tab.
This is not the first time Woods has defended his Kiwi caddie.
During the "Showdown at Sherwood" three years ago, a PGA Tour official told Williams he could not wear shorts, even though the temperature was pushing 90 degrees. When Williams refused to change, the official told the caddie he would no longer work on the PGA Tour.
"Guess I'll be playing in Europe next year," Woods said, and that was the end of that.
In the case of the camera, Woods had reason to stand by his man.
He had to back off twice because of cameras on the opening hole at the British Open,
where Woods was going for the third leg of the Grand Slam. An early click on the final hole in Ireland cost him a chance at his first bogey-free tournament.
And those are just a few examples from this year.
The national photojournalists are guilty by association. The early clicks almost always come from those who don't cover golf, such as the Japanese photographer who got Woods on the first fairway at Muirfield and was puzzled when he was asked to leave.
The real problem stems from fans who come to the course with cameras,from marshals who spend more time watching golf than policing the crowds,and from tour officials who fail to enforce their policies.
"We've had poor camera control on the PGA Tour," said Phil Mickelson, "and it's jeopardizing the integrity of the championship."
Job opening: New Kentucky football coach
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky wants a new football coach in place by Christmas to replace Guy Morriss, who is leaving for Baylor.
Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart spoke to the school's Athletics Association board of directors yesterday, less than 24 hours after Morrisr returned from Waco, Texas, and resigned.
Barnhart said he has a long list of possible replacements, but would not identify anyone. He said he would prefer someone with head-coaching experience.
"The Kentucky job is a great
job in a great conference," Barnhart said. "There's a good foundation here. There is interest, there are people calling, so that's encouraging."
The 51-year-old Morriss returned to Lexington on Monday night. He met with the Wildcats on yesterday but did not speak with reporters.
Kentucky spokesman Tony Neely said Morriss wanted to make his first public comments about the move there.
Morriss was awaiting his introduction as Baylor's coach at a news conference today in Waco.
"The future looked really bright," kick returner Derek Abney said after yesterday's 45-
minute meeting. "I don't want to say we have a dimmer future now, but it's not as solid."
Quarterback Jared Lorenzen said he understood Morriss' decision.
Barnhart admitted he lost a bidding war with Baylor to keep Morriss. He would not reveal the details of his offer.
"It hurts us a lot, but we're going to go on," Lorenzen said. "A couple of guys got a little emotional. It was tough, but we're happy for him."
In September, Morriss signed a contract that would have kept him at Kentucky through the 2007 season and paid him a base salary of $400,000.
Barnhart said he sweetened Morriss' contract with performance incentives, but Morriss told him it was not enough.
"I put something on the table and we were pretty firm in where we wanted to be," Barnhart said.
Morriss became a head coach for the first time when he succeeded ousted coach Hal Mumme before the 2001 season. The Wildcats went 2-9 in Morriss' first year, then improved to 7-5 in 2002.
Kentucky is on probation for NCAA infractions under Mumme and was ineligible for a bowl this season.
Missouri utilizes comebacks to build team confidence
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo.- Coming from behind is no big deal to the Missouri Tigers.
Each comeback win simply gives them more confidence.
"It just shows it doesn't affect us," center Arthur Johnson said.
Rickey Paulding scored a career-high 25 points and all five Missouri starters scored in double figures as the Tigers defeated Wisconsin-Green Bay 88-67 on Monday night.
It was the second time in three days that the Tigers fell behind in the second half and came back to win. Missouri used a 17-2 run and made seven 3-pointers in the second half to pull away from Wisconsin-Green Bay, which took a brief three-point lead early in the half on a Brandon Hansen 3-pointer.
Missouri (5-0) had a bigger comeback Saturday, when the Tigers came from 51-40 down with 15:41 left to defeat Southern California 78-72 at Anaheim, Calif., in the John R. Wooden Classic.
"It just builds our toughness and our character," Paulding said. "There are going to be games like this along down the season, and we just have to battle the adversity. We're not always going to play a good first half, but if we bounce back on the next play, I think we'll be OK."
Missouri bounced back in a hurry Monday. Point guard Ricky Clemons scored the
"Our team has good character, and we stick with each other through whatever happens on the court."
court."
Ricky Clemons Missouri point guard
Tigers' first eight points of the second half on a combination of 3-pointers and drives to the basket. The Phoenix kept stride, coming within 43-45 with 15:52 left, but Paulding hit a 3-pointer four minutes later and increased Missouri's lead to 57-49. Then, the Tigers pulled away.
Missouri coach Quin Snyder thought the game taught his team about its mental toughness.
"I told our team before the game that this would say a lot about where we are this season," Snyder said. "This was an unbelievably tough game for us."
After scoring only three points in the first half due to foul trouble, Clemons had 16 points six minutes into the second half. Teammates said he took over the game and almost single-handedly gave the Tigers a five-point lead with 14:07 left.
"Our team has good character, and we stick with each other through whatever happens on the court," Clemons said. "Those are the things that we're building on right now, and it's working for us right now."

Bi-state tax may improve Kansas City sports facilities
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Truman Sports Complex, home of baseball's Kansas City Royals, the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer, would get a $354 million facelift under a bistate tax proposed by Jackson County Executive Katheryn Shields.
The Royals and Chiefs would agree to extend their leases by 25 years if voters on both sides of the state line approve the proposal for a three-quarter-cent sales tax increase, Shields told county legislators on Monday.
The tax proposed tax also would raise $354 million for arts programs, including part of a planned downtown Performing Arts Center.
Shields says a new bistate tax is crucial if Kansas City, a small market by professional sports standards, is to compete with larger cities. She hopes the issue will be placed on a ballot next
vear, possibly in November.
"People have to want to keep Kansas City major-league," Shields said. "As a community, we have to make the contribution of tax dollars so we can keep these teams into the future."
The new proposal dwarfs the Bistate II plan, which was shelved in July and called for an eighth-cent sales tax over 20 years to raise $736 million.
Under Shields' plan, the cost to taxpayers in the three Missouri and two Kansas counties that make up the core of the metropolitan area would be roughly $1.25 billion over 25 years, including debt payments.
The new plan does not include money for a soccer-only stadium for the Wizards in Johnson County, Kan.
If the bistate tax is approved, renovations at the Royals' Kauffman Stadium and at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chiefs and Wizards, must be substantially completed by the start of the 2007 seasons.
If the tax proposal fails, the lease extension would be nullified and the current leases would remain in effect until 2015.
Critics questioned Shields' timing of her announcement, coming less than five months after the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce withdrew support for Bistate II until at least 2004.
The chamber in July cited waning public support, a sluggish economy and other tax issues before voters.
Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes said she backs the new bistate plan, even though it doesn't include money for a new downtown arena she announced last week.
"This is nothing but a sucking sound," said Kansas Sen. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe. "We're in a recession. Why are we doing this?"
Barnes said she knew that a bistate plan was in the works and that she would make sure stadium and arena proponents didn't pit those projects against each other for funding.
Barnes said she didn't think passage of a bistate tax for the stadiums would jeopardize the chances for some kind of public funding for a downtown arena and other infrastructure. That proposal calls for a $200 million bond issue supported by a combination of taxes.
But Kevin Gray, president of the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission, suggested that voters, given the economic climate, might have to choose one project over the other.
"We have a huge agenda that we're going to move forward," Barnes said. "These are all important investments."
"We've never wavered on the most important thing being the Truman Sports Complex," Gray said. "Clearly, that is our No. 1 priority and should be. That's what makes us major league. Having said that, we need to start planning for a new arena. We see that as being important, too."
Under the new plan, the Royals and Chiefs each would get $177 million to revamp Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums, 30-year-old structures that team officials have long said are in need of improvements.
State-of-the-art when it opened in 1972, the Truman Sports Complex fell behind the times during the nationwide stadium-building boom of the 1990s.
The existing funds for the stadiums, from the county, city and state, amount to $8.5 million annually enough for maintenance but not for modernization, team officials said.
Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt said the proposed $177 million in improvements was needed to "bring Arrowhead Stadium into the 21st century."
Under the proposed agreement, the teams would pay for any cost overruns, and the amount of public funding is capped at available revenue.
The new plan also calls for the
Chiefs and Royals to impose a user fee on all tickets of up to 5 percent, with the money to be used only for improvements maintenance and repairs.
The franchises are planning fan-friendly" improvements to the stadiums such as additional rest rooms and concession stands and wider concourses that would generate the kind of revenue that other teams now enjoy in their new stadiums.
"The inside of our bowls are as good as they come in pro sports," said Chiefs chairman Jack Steadman. "It's at the back of the house that we just don't have space."
Royals senior vice president Mark Gorris said the franchise expects to generate $20 million more annually in revenue, and pledged to spend that money on player payroll to improve the team's performance.
"Contraction threats come back in 2007," Gorris said. "We want to make sure Major League Baseball doesn't look our way at all."
Chiefs back in playoff race
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In a lifetime of coaching, Dick Vermelh has never seen so many divisional rivals bunched so closely together so close to the end of the season.
If his Kansas City Chiefs (7-6) win their last three — all against AFC West foes — they could elbow their way through the crowd and perhaps win the division.
October.
As it stands now, they're tied with Denver for third in the fourteam division.
"I don't remember ever being involved in this kind of scenario. It's probably very, very good for football," Vermeil said yesterday. "It's not going to be real good for some coaches that don't make it, because the only smart guys will be the guys who do make it. If you don't win, you didn't get the job done."
The Chiefs' three-game ride through the AFC West begins this week at Denver, a team they lost to in overtime in Kansas City in
Then they're home against San Diego in Marty Schottenheimer's first regular-season game at Arrowhead Stadium since his highly successful 10-year stint as the Chiefs' coach ended after the 1998 season.
Then it's on to Oakland, a team the Chiefs beat in Kansas City, for the regular-season finale.
As the Chiefs gear up for those critical games, running back Priest Holmes is also taking aim at a pair of prestigious NFL records.
He needs three touchdowns to eclipse Marshall Faulk's single-season record of 26. With 21 rushing touchdowns, he needs four to break Emmitt Smith's NFL record.
"How can you ask a guy to do any more than he's doing? You can imagine what he could have done had we left him in in the fourth quarter of the last two games." Vermeil said.
If Holmes does get the record, it won't be as a result of the Chiefs altering their game plan to
feature him.
He's been their go-to player for more than a year now.
"If Priest Holmes is not successful, we're not successful. So, it's a high priority." Vermeil said. "It's the guy that we rely on, and our style of offense has moved to what he does best and what our offensive line does so well."
Kansas City's potent offense, which includes one of the league's finest offensive lines as well as three-time Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez, is not the worry as the Chiefs head into this decisive three-game stretch.
The defense is. Although still ranked last in the 32-team league, defensive coordinator Greg Robinson's unit has played much better of late, giving up just 10 points in blowout wins over injury-plagued Arizona and St. Louis the past two weeks.
"If we can play defense over the next three games both at home and on the road like we have played in the last four home games, we'll be very competitive," Vermeil said.
Boston College wallops Iowa State in 85-78 win
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Troy Bell scored 26 points and freshman Craig Smith had all 14 of his points in the second half, leading Boston College to an 85-78 victory over Iowa State last night.
Bell opened the second half with a 3-pointer to give Boston College (4-2) a 39-26 lead and the Eagles spent the rest of the game holding off Iowa State (5-1), which got to within two points but never pulled ahead.
Bell's performance fell short of the 42 points he scored in a victory over Iowa State last season, but it was good enough and he had plenty of help. Ryan Sidney added 14 points, Andrew Bryant scored 11 and Louis Hinnant 10.
Jared Homan led Iowa State with a career-high 18 points.
Jake Sullivan and Adam Haluska scored 16 each, but Sullivan, the Cyclones' leading scorer for the season, made just 3-of-15 shots.
Homan's layup on a pass from Sullivan cut the lead to 64-62 with 7:25 left, and the Cyclones trailed 72-69 after Haluska's 3-pointer with 5:04 remaining.
But Boston College scored on seven of its last nine possessions to stay on top.
Sidney hit a runner and sank three free throws for an 81-75 lead.
He and Bell then scored on breakaways to finish it off as Iowa State missed five straight shots with a chance to cut into the lead.
Smith had made 18 straight shots going into the game, but the streak ended when Jackson Vroman blocked his first
attempt of the night.
Boston College built a 10-point halftime lead with Bell and Craig Smith sidelined by fouls.
Bell sat out most of the final 6:57 after getting his second foul. Smith went to the bench with three fouls at the 4:49 mark.
They weren't missed.
Bryant, whose 3-pointer had put BC ahead to stay at 18-16, hit two more — both high arching shots from the wing — to extend the lead to 28-22. Sullivan's fadeaway jumper drew Iowa State to 30-26, but the Eagles ran off the final six points of the half.
Nate Doornekamp scored on a putback and Sidney hit a spinning shot in the lane. Sidney then found Hinnant open under the basket for a layup just before the buzzer to make it 36-26.

Houston, we have a drug problem
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Whitney Houston, who released her first album in four years this week, has succeeded in getting the public's attention—but not for her music.
Just Whitney comes a little more than a year after Houston, now 39, signed a reported $100 million contract to stay at Arista Records.
Instead, the buzz is about Houston's admissions of drug use, her erratic behavior and her frail appearance.
"I think Whitney's lost it a little bit," says Delia Pena, of Bayonne, N.J., one of thousands of fans who waited outside Lincoln Center Sunday to see the Grammy-winning star in a mini-concert that aired on Good Morning America yesterday.
Always Love You."
Those glory days, however seem far away. Over the past few years, the singer has been dogged by controversy, from her tumultuous 10-year marriage to bad boy singer Bobby Brown to her missed concert appearances.
She looked so emaciated at a concert for Michael Jackson last year that there were rumors she was dying.
And in 2000, Houston was charged with marijuana possession when an airport security guard found the drug in her purse.
Brown has a history of drug and alcohol arrests, including an arrest last month in Atlanta on drug and traffic charges.
"The biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy," said Houston, who says
After years denying drug use, Houston confirmed in an interview last week with Diane Sawyer on ABC's "Primetime Live" that she had used cocaine, marijuana and pills.
she is using prayer to help her get over drugs.
The ABC special was a ratings success, landing approximately 21 million viewers.
But Houston's thinness and defensiveness didn't impress critics.
The Washington Post dubbed the interview "Whitney's Weird Chat," while The Miami Herald said the singer appeared "strung out."
"She wasn't humble ... she came off very flip," said Karu Daniels, who wrote about the interview in his weekly column on EURWeb, an urban entertainment Web site.
Still, the interview may also have garnered some sympathy for the star.
"It's kind of clear that Whitney is in the middle of a major personal crisis, and I think women feel for her, because it's sad," said Michelle Santosusso, program and music director for the Los Angeles adult contemporary station Hot 92 Jamz.

Broncos may lose assistant
DENVER — A Denver Broncos assistant coach is being mentioned as a candidate for a head coaching job for the second consecutive week.
A week after offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak was included in the list of potential candidates at Texas A&M, wide receivers coach Karl Dorrell's name surfaced after UCLA fired coach Bob Toledo on Monday.
Texas A&M named Dennis Franchione as its coach on Friday.
"I think Karl would be an excellent candidate," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "He's a heck of a coach, a first-class person, he knows the area well."
Beforejoining the Broncos, he coached 12 years on the collegiate level, including stops at Colorado, Central Florida, Northern Arizona and Arizona State.
Dorrell, in his third season with Denver, played at UCLA and was a graduate assistant there.
"He's one of the kind of guys you like to be around as a head coach and fits right into that player-coach type coach," Broncos receiver Scottie Montgomery said. "At the same time, he's a
good disciplinarian and has a lot of talent. He's real smart at what he does and he studies the game as much as anybody else. He's like having another offensive coordinator."
Dorrell was the offensive coordinator at Northern Arizona.
Injuries: Shanahan said there were no significant injuries from Sunday's 19-13 loss to the New York jets.
He also said QB Brian Griese, TE Shannon Sharpe and RG Dan Neil were doing well after coming back from injuries.
Sharpe, who missed three games with a partially separated right elbow, caught nine passes for 100 yards in his first game since Nov.11.
He said he wasn't able to extend his elbow fully while wearing a heavy brace but didn't feel as much soreness on Monday as he thought.
"It's seems to be getting better and hopefully in the next week or two I'll be able to extend it fully." Sharpe said. "I think I got comfortable with the brace in the week leading up to San Diego, so I kind of knew what to expect. Coming into this week I really felt comfortable with the brace and I think as the days go by I'll get more and more comfortable, and after a while I won't
even recognize that it's on there."
Shanahart said Griese lacked some mobility after missing two games with a sprained left knee, but he did well under the circumstances.
Neil had the most amazing return, playing just five days after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
Montgomery's neck: Montgomery, who didn't play against New York, said his neck was feeling much better and he expects to play this weekend against Kansas City.
Montgomery sat out after spraining ligaments in his neck during a kickoff Dec. 1 against San Diego.
Montgomery was still sore the week before Jets game and Shanahan thought it would be a good idea to keep him out.
"I'm feeling a lot better and I'm excited to get back on the field this weekend," Montgomery said. "It's (the pain) no where near what it was a week ago at this time and it's nowhere near what it was three to four days ago. I do have certain pains at night. It's almost like you have a crick in your neck and sometimes you can't sleep the way you want to. But I get paid to play football, not to sit and watch."
Heisman race still wide open; finalists announced today
Knight Ridder-Tribune
Sixty-six men have won the Heisman Trophy as the most outstanding player in college football.
Ready for five more?
So a five-way tie is about as likely as attempting a field goal from 65
yards out and having the ball get stuck in the corner of the goalpost.
Finalists will be announced today — there are usually four or five — and the winner will be announced Saturday night. One of these five players is expected to win the trophy: Miami (Fla.)
quarterback Ken Dorsey, Miami running back Willis McGahee, Iowa quarterback Brad Banks, Southern California quarterback Carson Palmer or Penn State running back Larry Johnson.
Dorsey is the only survivor from the preseason watch lists.
He's the unquestioned leader of the Hurricanes, who have won 54 consecutive games.
His backfield mate, McGahee,
has rushed for 1,686 yards (fifth in
the nation), 6.44 yards a carry and
a nation-leading 27 touchdowns.
Banks led the nation in passing
efficiency (166.1) and yards per attempt (9.18). He threw for 25 touchdowns and just four interceptions for a team that finished 11-1. He was named Associated Press player of the year Monday. But were Heisman voters watching when he put on his 12-week show?
Palmer doesn't have that worry. He lit up Notre Dame in his season finale, which was televised in prime time on ABC.
Johnson also put together a show at the end of the season. He led the nation with 2,015 yards and ran for 20 touchdowns.

Ellsworth renovations on schedule
By Matt Stumpf
mstumpf@kansan.com
Kansas staff wr.ter
Ellsworth Hall is just a shell of its former self.
The residence hall closed this summer for a complete renovation, and construction crews gutted everything inside the building. Reconstruction has begun and the hall should reopen its doors next fall.
The $14 million project follows the renovations of Templin Hall in 1997 and Lewis Hall in 1998.The department of student housing finances the renovations through its budget.
"Everything comes from room and board," Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said.
Ellsworth Residence Hall closed this summer for a complete renovation. Crews gutted the building. Reconstruction has begun and the hall should reopen its doors next fall.
The housing department closed the top three floors last year to make
year to make sure the hall would open in time for Fall 2003. Crews began working on the 10th floor of the building and worked their way down, in assembly-line fashion, drilling holes for pipes and placing steel framework to divide the rooms.
The 10th floor is nearing completion, and the rest of the floors will follow in time for the Fall 2003 semester, Stoner said.
When completed, the hall will have a similar configuration to Templin and Lewis, with more individual bathrooms for the rooms and bigger living spaces. Stoner said the hall would have smaller lobbies on each floor because students didn't use them as much as before.
When the buildings opened in the '60s, the necessity for larger lobbies came from students' lack of television sets. Students would use the areas more to watch TV than they do now because most students now have televisions in their rooms, Stoner said.
Kari Morgan, Topeka junior, said she was arranging her fall plans around the hall's completion. Morgan is a resident assistant at McCollum Hall.
"I'm going to live there whether or not I'm an RA," Morgan said.
Stoner said he expected the hall wouldn't lack residents who wanted to live there. After the renovations of Templin and Lewis, students gravitated toward the newly renovated halls, Stoner said.
"Every time we open one there's a great interest," Stoner said.
Stop Day won'thaltfun
By Jenna Goepfert
joeopfert@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Tomorrow will be the first Stop Day for Kasey Monroe, Geneseo freshman, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what it's all about.
"Everybody stops going to class and starts having fun," he said.
Stop Day is a one-day break in the University of Kansas calendar when students are relieved of campus responsibilities and can prepare for finals, which are Dec. 16 to 20.
With the prospect of four finals looming, the reprieve from responsibilities is
sending Tiffany Woods, Chicago sophomore, out on the town.
Woods plans to go out with friends tomorrow to get the partying out of her system. After that, she said she'd spend her time studying and stressing out.
"Power Hour" is a Stop Day tradition for Carlie Wagner, Springfield, Mo., junior. She and her friends take a shot of beer every minute for an hour and then go out to the bars.
She made it to 47 last year and then had to stop, she said, but most of her friends made it to 60.
Football will bring the men of Stephenson Scholarship Hall together tomorrow. Former residents and the
hall's upperclassmen take on freshmen residents every Stop Day at noon near Robinson Center.
Ryan Yaeger, Maple Lake, Minn., junior, is organizing this year's game of nopads tackle football and said injuries not studying were only worth worrying about.
"Watkins is right there," Yaeger said.
When the game is over, he and his hall-mates will probably just lay around and whine about be sore, he said.
whine about using KJHK is one of several groups having its own Stop Day festivities around 8 p.m. at the Pool Room, 925 Iowa St. The party will feature KJHK DJs, Archetype and Mac Lethal. Students can bring cans
of food to donate to the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutritional Kitchen.
Roland Rhodes, Washington, D.C., junior, said he wouldn't miss the festivities.
"I'll do a little break dancing," Rhodes said, grinning.
Rhodes said Stop Day was a great idea and helped him take his mind off of his three upcoming finals.
Yaeger he appreciated the break in his academic routine but had an additional request.
Learning about cultures
"I've heard some colleges have stop week," he said. "I think the University should look into that."
HALO share, teach a Hispanic traditions to children

20TH AUGUST 1974

knelson@kansan.com
kansan Staff Writer
Sharing information about Latin American culture has been bittersweet lately for the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, but it is attempting to overcome its woes with sugar.
In early November, HALO partnered with the Lawrence Big Brothers Big Sisters program for a Day of the Dead educational event. It was canceled at the last minute because of parents' skepticism and lack of interest.
The Kansas Union's ballroom was teeming with people during the Center for Community Outreach's holiday children's party yesterday afternoon. The event was for Lawrence-area children and was run by volunteers from both the University and the Lawrence Community.
"The coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters said she had several parents call her, concerned with the theme," said Juan Garcia, who was planning the event for HALO. "We were very sad to see this reaction, and it has made us realize that we'll need a much greater effort to try to make the Hispanic culture well-understood."
The timing of the activity was part of the problem, said Erika Zimmerman. Big Brothers Big Sisters programming coordinator. More activities than usual were planned for the month, she said.
But parental uncertainty about what the organization was exposing their kids to was probably at least part of the reason for low interest in HALO's activity, admitted Zimmerman.
ry, darren:
"Hindsight is always 20/20," she said. "Looking back, we definitely could have made the filers more
detailed, explaining what it was. When they called, I just told them my understanding, and even I didn't know exactly what Day of the Dead involved. Really, it was a lack of education on everyone's part."
But HALO isn't giving up. Yesterday, it used the Center for Community Outreach children's party to do Hispanic culture education.
Student organizations were asked to create activities for the kids. Some
activities focused on the different types of holiday celebrations around the world.

Native status, financial aid complicated
Benjamin Washee, Lawrence resident, forms the ceiling on the fourth floor of Ellsworth Hall. The renovations are on schedule, and the hall should reopen next fall, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.

Special to the Kansan
More than 200 KU students recognized as Native Americans receive financial aid based in part on their blood ties to indigenous peoples. The distribution of this money raises the question, "What is a Native American?"
While issues of both blood and culture come into play, the deciding factor when applying for financial aid is the Certificate of Indian Blood card, a federally granted document proving recognized native lineage and providing eligibility for financial aid from tribes, universities, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and organizations like the American Indian College Fund.
But a CIB card does not necessarily indicate tribal involvement or cultural identification, said Michael Davis, a
Lawrence resident who is more than one-half Hopi, Choctaw and Apache Indian.
Davis said he had a CIB card as a child but no longer maintained contact with his tribe. He said he would not feel justified receiving funding for education through his tribe, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs or other organizations. He said available funds should go to students with more traditional Native-American upbringing.
"I'm not knowledgeable about my tribe," Davis said. "It's meant to be used for people who are oppressed, living on reservations."
Terra Houska, Rapid City, S.D., junior, who also takes classes at Haskell Indian Nations University, where students pay no tuition, said some resentment existed within the Native-American student community toward those who made little or no effort to participate
in cultural events and preserve Native-American heritage.
"They're getting an education just because they have a little Indian in them." Houska said.
Circe Sturm, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Oklahoma, said most people in this area of the country had some Indian blood, which complicates matters of identification
complicates matters of interest. Sturm, recent author of Blood Politics: Race, Culture, and Identity in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, said the difficulty of defining Native Americans lay in a complicated web of "history and legality." Sturm said CIB cards were granted based on documented lineage stretching as far back as the Dawes Rolls, the federal government's early 20th-century attempt to create a native registry. This quantifiable approach, which

Waitress returns lost money, receives donations in return
OLATHE — Heidi Tomassi's honesty helped save one family's Christmas and is paying off in even bigger ways for the waitress.
Last week, Tomassi found an envelope packed with 33 $100 bills while working at Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar in Olathe. She gave the envelope to her manager until it was claimed by its owner. Tomassi said she was $15,000 in debt because of medical bills and travel costs to treat her 41/2-month-old son's heart defect but never considered keeping the money.
A Sedalia, Mo., man who lost the money at the restaurant said he had sold a car to have money for Christmas presents. He rewarded Tomassi with $100.
After her story reached the media, she and her husband, Joe, received several donations. The Olathe Daily News reported that she also expected to receive a check for $25,000 yesterday
"It kind of feels a little bit like Cinderella," she said.

NEW YORK — Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the City Council reached agreement yesterday on a ban that would prohibit smoking in nearly every bar and restaurant and virtually all workplaces.
Current city law prohibits smoking in restaurants with more than 35 seats but not in stand-along bars of the bars of restaurants; the agreement extends the ban to almost all restaurants and bars, as well as offices, pool halls, bingo parlors and bowling alleys.
In all, about 13,000 establishments would be covered. New York City's ban would be among the most restrictive in the nation.

He noted the agreement had been reached after 11 years of negotiations.
Sources in Chile said the 14th round of bilateral talks in Washington finally solved discrepancies in several key matters, including intellectual property, labor policies, environment protection and mutual market access to agricultural products.

Exhibitsheds new light on common Polaroids
By Nathan Dayani ndayani@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
If image is everything, then patrons of the Spencer Museum of Art won't be disappointed by the focus of an upcoming exhibit.
Innovation/Imagination: 50 Years of Polaroid Photography comprises about 80 images and opens Saturday.
Andrea Norris, director of the museum, said the exhibit featured unique approaches to using the common medium of Polaroid photography in an artistic context.
"It might expand their mind about what photography is," Norris said.
With subjects ranging from Louis Armstrong to the American landscape, the exhibit will cover a variety of subjects, said John Pultz, curator of photography at the museum.
Pultz said the exhibit's art generally came from three models of cameras, including the SX-70 Polaroid. Artists featured in the exhibit often exposed that camera's pictures to heat or pressed on the pictures to change its colors, he said.
"They also liked it for doing collages where they look at a scene and break it into individual pictures," Pultz said.
Some of the pictures in the exhibit were taken from large cameras that produced 20-inch-

by-24-inch color photographs, Pultz said. He said those photographs often covered studio subjects such as still life portraits.
Norris and Pultz said photography was an important medium for artistic expression.
"There's something very immediate about it that speaks to contemporary experience," he said. "A lot of photographers use their medium to be about perception and how they see a given scene or a given moment," he said.

The exhibit features works of several well-known artists.

Students lie low over break
By Justin Henning jhenning@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students stuck in Lawrence over the break may find themselves stuck in a holiday rut.
Aside from the occasional basketball game, activities are at a minimum. But for some students, that's what winter break is all about.
With school out of session from Dec. 21 to Jan. 16, the University of Kansas has only a few of its student bodies left in town, the rest with their family or friends or traveling the world.
Stranded students take refuge with their in-town friends and family or end up in McCollum Hall, the only residence hall open over the break to house students.
"Take advantage of it being quiet here and not as busy.I'm going to rest up and hang
out."
Alicia Sanson Hashinger Hall resident assistant
It is up to the individual to make the most of their time in Lawrence, said Eric Caughey, Lawrence junior. He said he went to a lot of movies and spent time at the gym and Clinton Lake over the long break.
"I've lived here for nine years, and basically I just sit around," he said. "It's kind of boring."
Off campus, there's the night life.
Places such as The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., and the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., offer just as many concerts and drink specials as they do any other week of the year.
But without the normal semester crowds, students may prefer to stay at home.
"Take advantage of it being quiet here and not as busy," said Alicia Sanson, Hashinger Hall resident assistant. The Phillipsburg sophomore said she would go home for a week and spend the rest of the break in Lawrence.
Like her summers here, she plans to be with friends and enjoy not having to study.
"I'm going to rest up and hang out," she said.

Steve Vockrodt opinion@kansan.com
I hate to be the one to break it to everyone, but as an advocate of honesty, I find nothing is more
Pay heed, because the future of business and entrepreneurship in the United States is at stake, and everyone going home for holiday shopping is bound to encounter some horrible experience.
Three attempts to get my statements sent to the correct address only resulted in my financial information going elsewhere.
Whatever piss-poor experience they have, I only hope it does not compare with recent run-in's I have had with unmotivated businesses who do not seem to realize they are pushing the genocide of every goose that lays the golden egg in each customer they give the quick in-out.
For instance, how about being stranded at KCI for hours while your shuttle service is half an hour late.
Once they got me out of the cold, the driver toured the terminals endlessly in search of other folks wondering if they needed their service. My guess is they would have called them if they needed it. Meanwhile, the person who did make arrangements and payed way too much for the service is getting home 90 minutes later than they told him.
Am I bound to get a refund, discount, or even an apology? You bet your ass the answer is no. Why would they? They got my money, and in their case, the ends justified the means.
That means someone else gets control of my account number, and because lazy tellers are too occupied with not doing their job correctly, they don't ask for
Then there is the case of my bank.
identification for transactions, so therefore, somebody racked up an impressive overdraft on my account. Did the bank help me out any?
No, they just acted as though I was the stupid college student who spends too much. Then they tacked on all sorts of overdraft fees at my expense. Again, their profitable ends justified whatever means came at my expense.
These and many other similar experiences leave me wondering how customer service got so bad in this country.
I know when I used to bus at a burger joint in high school, I was always told to do anything and everything to ensure customer satisfaction.
That meant even if someone had all but one bite left in their meal, they could complain and we refunded them or gave them another meal, no questions asked.
Now, dealing with employees who are supposed to help you with your problems is about as enjoyable as a shotgun blast to the face.
The demise of customer service leaves customers standing in lines forever, working with surly employees, and otherwise being left to solve their own problem or lament at having no control over the situation.
The only explanation I can think of for this troubling phenomenon is people's motivation for even having a job.
With all this talk of ends justifying'means, the end result in employee's eyes in only the paycheck, and the means for getting one is simply showing up to work on time and doing just enough not to get fired.
That obviously does not include ensuring customer satisfaction.
In the minds of these unmotivated employees, why should the employee give a damn about a customers problem, or even if a customer comes back?
They get their paycheck anyway, so why bother?
This produces a potent recipe for apathy and no motivation in the workplace. In turn, the recipe produces enough servings of lousy customer service to feed the death of customer satisfaction.
The solution to this can only be more pressure from a company's management.
One job I had where I had to make sure I was doing a good job was one where they sent in secret customers to evaluate my interaction with the customers.
If I did well, I was rewarded on payday. If not, I was applying for new jobs.
When parents do not ask to see a youngsters report card or chastise them for doing poorly, is the kid motivated to any better? Same concept here.
Sure, being more involved requires more work and trouble, but working harder is better than losing customers because they aren't being served.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Minority issues important
In regards to the latest diversity issue featured in the paper ("Take a look around and see a diverse KU student body," Dec. 5), I just have to advise the few that when setting standards on how we should live our lives, I think you first have to think beyond your standpoint of epistemology.
All of KU is aware of the differences between students on campus. Whether or not one reads Rolling Stone or The New York Times is of no consequence. These are differences that we are all taught as young kids.
By this I mean you have to think about life from a perspective other than your own. That is where the debate about whether or not true diversity is necessary takes shape.
It is obvious and evident that everyone on campus is different and unique in his or her own way. The idea that we do not need to seek out different ethnic groups to feel comforted is both naive and close-minded.
Minorities who feel lost and powerless
at times because of a lack of diversity is an issue that many minorities and many in the majority can wrap their minds around.
If you can't relate or understand then try to put yourselves in the place of a minority. Imagine going to school on a predominantly black campus.
Would you look for the "diversity" in your fellow students' reading preferences or would you be on the lookout for other faces like that of your own?
Wanting people like you on campus is not a horrible request to ask for. It's neither a threat nor a hate request. It's human nature.

Respect women athletes
I have read Ryan Wood's commentary,
"Rowing gives glory to females," (Dec. 9)
and his statements have no clout.
Obviously, he has not been a Division I athlete and does not know what these women have done to be in the position
Although half of the women had not rowed before, the KU rowing team has been a top-25 team. He cannot say that for many other teams. So, although they may not have experience, the coaching staff saw potential in these ladies and trained them hard to be outstanding KU athletes.
Has he even done any research on these ladies? Has he gone to a practice and watched how hard they have worked? He has no room to criticize them in front of the entire KU body without understanding the facts.
they are in today.
As for men's soccer and wrestling, if a male is good at those sports, they can go to another school! They are not obligated to go to KU and play pickup basketball...that is not a consequence of KU rowing.
Instead of criticizing something he has no idea about, how about appreciating 36 ladies who wake up in the morning to lift, run, row and train harder than some people ever dreamed. Ryan should go to a regatta and watch the rowing team, and if
I think these ladies need an apology and should be applauded for what they do for this University.
he still has his current opinions, that is fine. But, he should never publicly write a story on something he knows nothing about.

Sunflower House misrepresented
I am writing in a response to the Dec. 9 article "There's no place like home."
I feel the article had some misinformation, which I would like to clarify.
First and foremost, the Sunflower House is not a "commune," but a cooperative.
Residents of the house are not cult members or hippies, but rather socially concerned students who are interested in equitable group living. We are our own landlords; when we make a decision as a house, it is on the basis of one member, one vote. We share in all the work equally. We even divide our bills equally.
What's more, living in the Sunflower House is a great way to learn new skills, meet new people and help cut back on the cost of living. We even help conserve resources through our house's environmental program.
In addition, the main focus of the Sunflower House is not to "keep cops out of the house." Our main objective is to provide another living option for students who are interested in cooperative principles.
I have lived in the Sunflower House for nearly three years now. The experiences I have had here are by far the most valuable of my college career. I only wish your article could have found a way to convey that.

Editorial on Senate's progress contained some inaccuracies
Dan Osman's editorial yesterday in the University Daily Kansan, entitled "At the halfway mark, Student Senate falls short on some goals," was a poorly researched, incomplete assessment to say the least. Numerous mistakes and inaccuracies showcase Osman's and the editorial board's lack of knowledge about Student Senate. Osman wrote
"this would help to explain the conspicuous lack of bills on this or any of KUnited's other proposals." Not all projects worked on by the student body executives or senators need or require Senate legislation.
lation. Osman wrote without any kind of easily available documentation, the average student cannot find out what Senate is doing to make their lives better." Beyond the fact that all Senate meetings are open to the public, the Senate office is open to all students in 410 Kansas Union, and there is a Senate Web site at wwwku.edu/~senate for any student to find updates. The average student does not seek out legislation passed by Senate. Instead, they elected us to produce results and represent them on issues, which we will continue to do.
D. S. Ahmad
Ng
Second, Osman and the editorial board should not base progress on an issue merely by its publicity in the Kansan. There are numerous projects and other accomplishments made this semester by a number of student senators that went unpublicized. Beyond managing a $14 million budget and representing students on more than 40 boards and committees, progress has been made on all four original campaign issues, among many other projects. Work done on representing students on the tuition increases and working on parking for students were left out of the editorial.
Third, Osman writes that John Mullens, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office "disagrees" that Student Senate has helped to improve safety. That is incorrect. When asked about his comments in the editorial, Mullens said he explained the process of how emergency blue phones and lights were implemented and how work done one year was implemented the next. In fact, Mullens said student senators had worked hard this year in improving campus safety, work that will pay off next year.
It seems it has become the norm for any editorial about Student Senate to merely focus on the negatives, leave out the positives and not offer any solutions. This one was certainly no different. Instead of "thinking about what our legacy should be" over winter break as the editorial recommended, we prefer to continue working on projects and representing students for their benefit, not ours.

Kerri Henderson, Topka freshman, demonstrates correct finger placement to Ebony Baxter, eighth grader at Central Junior High School. The music mentorship program is dedicated to helping young people learn about music.
Volunteers tune into kids by sharing love of music
By Vonna Keomanyvong

Kansan staff writer
In a small booth on the first floor of Central Junior High School, Kerri Henderson listened to her new mentee, Ebony Baxter, play the clarinet.
Henderson moves Baxter's fingers on the clarinet and she plays a couple of notes.
"It's an improvement," she said.
"Try holding your fingers on the side." Henderson suggested.
Henderson, Topeka freshman, is one of 29 University of Kansas students who are part of Music Mentors, an organization that gives teens voice lessons and teaches them how to play instruments such as violins, clarinets, guitars and the piano 30 minutes a week for free. Volunteers teach students how to read notes and show them fingering techniques for their instruments.
Baxter pressed her fingers on the clarinet and blows.
"Isn't it this key?" Baxter asked.
"I never taught lessons before," said Henderson, who has volunteered for two months. "But it's gotten easier because the students are responsive to what I say."
"The program keeps music going," she said. "It takes mentorship on another level because it keeps them involved in the classroom."
The purpose of Music Mentors is to offer students who can't afford music lessons a chance to get private lessons, Carol Toland, Iola junior and president of Music Mentors, said.
While some mentors are music education majors. Toland and others like her aren't majoring in music, she said. Instead, mentors are skilled in their given instrument. Henderson has been playing the clarinet for 12 years, and Toland has played the piano for 16 years.
Andrew Schurle, Manhattan junior, majors in business administration and marketing and said he started volunteering three years ago because he wanted to teach young people how to play the guitar.
"A friend of mine showed me how to play so I wanted to pass that along," he said.
Schurle continued to teach students because he liked hanging out with the kids, he said.
Sondra Mosley, an orchestra teacher at Central Junior High, 1400 Massachusetts St., said interaction with mentorsbuilt her students' confidence.
If some students were nervous to ask her for help, they were
more willing to ask peers for help, she said.
"When they work with their mentors, I can see them watching me more," Mosley said. "They feel more sure of themselves, and they want to be recognized."
Johannah Cox, the band teacher at Central Junior High, said the confidence students got from the program made them more enthusiastic about lessons.
She also said programs like Music Mentors allowed students to exercise their fine motor skills and muscle coordination. Students were also learning another language, she said.
"Iinstruments is an extension of one's self," Cox said. "When you can express yourself with an instrument, you can express yourself better. It makes a well-rounded student."

CCO plays Santa atholiday party
By Lindsey Hodel
lhodei@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Santa Claus isn't the only one giving presents away to children for the holidays this year.
About 650 children from Lawrence gathered in the Kansas Union Ballroom yesterday afternoon to receive donated presents from the Center for Community Outreach's Children's Holiday Party. "Organized chaos" was how Maggie Beedles, co-director of CCO and Lawrence senior, described the event.
KU students from various campus organizations volunteered their afternoon to hand out presents, lead art projects and hand out food and candy.
Toy donations for the event came from the NBC's Today show, which has donated about $7,000 worth of toys to CCO's children's party for the last four years.
Other donors for the event included KU Panhellenic Association, Coca-Cola and Frito Lay.
Greg Black, Wichita sophomore, brought 14 third- and fourth-graders from the Boys and Girls Club, where he works.
"Most families that are here low-income families, and it definitely helps out around the holidays to celebrate," he said.
Toward the end of the party.
"The kids love so much getting to know college-aged kids.It's a big deal to come up on campus and interact with students here."
Carol Toland
Co-director of CCO's Music Mentors
program
CCO handed out presents to children ranging in age from 4 to 13. When the announcement came that Baby Jay and Santa Claus had arrived for pictures, everyone scurried to be the first in line.
"My kids were the most excited.
about Baby Jay," Black said.
Holiday music also mixed with the kids' giggles. Carol Toland, co-director of CCO's Music Mentors program, played Christmas tunes on the piano.
"The kids love so much getting to know college-aged kids," she said. "It's a big deal to come up on campus and interact with students here."
Black said in his experience, most of the children he worked with at the Boys and Girls Club had a sense of the real meaning of the holiday season.
"I think by this age, it isn't just about presents anymore," he said.

body has different traditions and things they do at Christmastime," said Janet Murphy, executive director of the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club.
HALO was one of six student groups to volunteer. It helped children decorate about 60 sugar skulls using sequins, puff-paints, multicolored glue and glitter at the party.
It was an activity designed to help them learn about Day of the Dead, a time when Mexicans pay tribute to deceased loved ones by creating alters, cooking feasts and spending time with friends and family. It's traditionally celebrated Nov. 1 and 2.
The skulls, made with a sugar and egg white powder paste and a plastic mold, are part of that tradition.
They are traditionally sold by vendors in the open-air markets

during the week preceding the Day of the Dead and are not to be eaten.
Melanie Weisner, HALO president, said she understood
the parental concerns about the Big Brothers Big Sisters event to a certain extent.
"When I think about it, if I were a parent and I didn't know what Day of the Dead was, I might be skeptical, too," the Dallas junior said. "But at the same time, you can't understand something unless you learn about it. I'm glad that we got to at least do something for the CCO party."

paved the way for citizenship and financial assistance in many tribes, is more feasible than attempting to gage cultural bonds.
Still, Sturm said, "it would be ideal if everyone also maintained tribal affiliation."
Sturm pointed out that many Indian nations required some level of involvement and even blood quantum to qualify for certain positions within the tribe.
In Blood Politics, Sturm addresses the dilemma tribes face in instituting a cut-off, or minimum blood quantum, for citizenship.
Olivia Standing Bear, who is one-quarter Osage and co-president of KU First Nations Student Association, said a minimum
"I think it's kind of unfair that some people are claiming this native blood and then just take the money and don't acknowledge their tribe. You should have more respect than that," said Standing Bear, Pawhuska, Okla., junior and student assistant at the Office of Multicultural Research. "I don't think there should be a cut-off," she said.
blood quantum might exclude students dedicated to Native-American culture despite being several generations removed from a full-blood native.
But Davis said too many people took advantage of the benefits Native Americans could receive at universities.
"We're a product of our society." Davis said. "I don't see how they can be raised one way and then find out they have Indian in them and think somebody owes them something."
Standing Bear, who receives aid from tribal funds allocated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said she had been immersed in native culture as a child.
"I grew up with my great grandparents," she said. "They influenced me a lot. They grew up in sod houses. They taught me the ways."
Winds of Change magazine's latest "College Guide for American Indians" profiles the University of Kansas and features a photo of the KU Natural History Museum on its cover. The guide provides data on 200 schools selected for their Native American communities and retention.
KU provides assistance to Native Americans with several programs through University offices and organizations, including the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, First Nations Student Association.
the Kansas University Endowment Association and the School of Social Welfare and Education, said Lisa Pinamonti, interim director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships. The Office of Research and Institutional Planning reported 204 enrolled Native American students.
In light of the Supreme Court's recent decision to revisit the subject of affirmative action in higher education, Sturm said any decision would affect Native Americans' lineage-based financial aid less than general affirmative action programs.
"The distinguishing characteristic between Native Americans and other minorities is the tribe's sovereign right to determine its own citizenship," Sturm said.

Minority health care disparate in Kansas
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Infant mortality among African Americans in Kansas is double the statewide average, and African-American men have the highest rates of prostate cancer, lung cancer and colorectal cancer, according to a study on minorities and health care released yesterday.
The study, entitled Minority Health Disparities in Kansas, prepared by the Kansas Health Institute and the state Department of Health and Environment, also found that although African Americans comprise less than 8 percent of the state's population, they constitute almost 18 percent of the diagnosed AIDS cases.
access to medical providers had created a health care gulf between minorities and whites in Kansas.
The study was released at a summit on minority health issues. It was funded by the Kansas Health Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
More broadly, the study's authors said language barriers, poverty, lack of insurance and
The study looked at minority communities in Wichita, Garden City and Kansas City, Kansas.
The former surgeon general also criticized the nation's health care system, saying there are major gaps in health care for

minorities.
In Kansas, the leading causes of death are related to cardiovascular health.
The study documented that 30 percent of African Americans and 35 percent of Native Americans reported they have high blood pressure.
These minority groups also die from coronary heart disease at a higher rate than the rest of the population.
By contrast, Hispanics have a much lower incidence of coronary heart disease. But that is affected by the state's relatively young Hispanic population their median age is 23 years, compared to 35 years for the state as a whole, the study found.
Some of the causes of the disparities were linked to socioeconomic factors such as the cost of health care, unemployment and
poverty.
Almost 100,000 Kansans cannot communicate well enough in English to share their medical histories, symptoms and health concerns with their doctors,the study said.
Different minority groups participate at varying levels in public health insurance programs such as Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program. African Americans were the most likely to enroll, Hispanics the least.
Penney Schwab, executive director of United Methodist Mexican-American Ministries in Garden City, said the needs of new immigrants — many from rural areas of Mexico, Central America and Asia — are sometimes quite different from those of more established minority communities.

Kids,cops to celebrate
By Molly Gise
mgise@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Campus kids and cops will party together tomorrow night in the Burge Union.
The KU Public Safety Office and the Stouffer Neighborhood Association are sponsoring their seventh-annual holiday party for the children and parents of Stouffer Place and Sunflower apartments.
The children will be able to play a variety of games, from a remote control car race to a duck pond game to a bean bag toss, said Eric Grospitch, assistant director of the Department of Student Housing. The party will also offer
a raffle drawing for prizes.
And kids can expect a certain jolly old man in a red suit to stop by.
"There will be a visit from Santa Claus at the end of the night." Grosspitch said.
Throughout the night, residents of Stoyffer Place and Sunflower apartments will speak about different holidays, giving kids the opportunity to learn about each other's traditions, Grospietchaid.
Kids can get a picture with Santa to place in a handmade holiday card.
Parents will be able to create an identikid card for their children, said Chris Keary, assistant director of KU Public Safety.
Public safety workers will photograph the children and take their fingerprints. The information is put on a card for the parents to keep in case of an emergency.
generally. Families and officers both benefit from the annual event, Keary said.The party started as a way for officers to give back to the community they serve.
The party is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
"The best way to reach the greatest number of people was to put on a party that everyone could go to and we could interact in a positive way." Keary said.

Task force: no speeches in class
By George Schulz gschulz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A task force established by Student Body President Jonathan Ng last June designed to make improvements in Student Senate elections submitted its recommendations to the Election Commission last night.
The most contentious aspect of the recommendations, heard at a public forum at Alcove D in the Kansas Union, was whether to permit senate candidates to make partisan speeches during classes with instructor approval.
The task force strongly recommended that candidates be granted the right to speak in classes, but some members of the commission expressed concern that granting candidates suchree speech rights might inhibit the rights of other students who do
not wish to hear partisan sreeches by candidates.
Kyle Johnson, finance committee chair and Wichita junior who was in favor of granting candidates the right to speak during classes, said he thought the commission did not give the public enough of an opportunity to speak out in favor of or against the task forces recommendations.
Ngwas also in favor of granting the classroom speech rights to candidates.
"I supported everything the task force came up with," Nsaid.
The measure failed, and for now, candidates still cannot make partisan speeches in class. But amendments to the election code based on recommendations by the task force will not be put into effect until February 20030. The public will be given the opportunity to make complaints
about the code changes shortly after the February deadline.
The following recommendations by the task force were also some of the ones agreed upon by the commission:
Senate seat apportionment, or the seats available for student group representation, will now be based on numbers from the fall semester. It was previously based on the spring semester student population count. The change will give coalitions and groups more time to organize based on how many seats are available.
Candidates must be enrolled at the time of their declaration of candidacy and throughout the duration of their campaign.
Initial expense reports were eliminated, and final expense reports are now required to be filed a week before elections.

Readying for Christmas
By Aaron Passman
apassman@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students wanting to get into the Christmas spirit need look no further than campus Christian organizations who have planned holiday activities.
Ecumenical Christian Ministries will host two events Sunday in conjunction with several other campus Christian groups.
"Candles and Carols," a vespers service, will take place Sunday night at 7 p.m. Thad Holcombe, ECM pastor, said the event was sponsored by ECM, University Christian Fellowship, Canterbury House, Lutheran Campus Ministry, United Methodist Campus Ministry and the Catholic Apostolic Church.
After "Candles and Carols," ECM will host its traditional pancake supper at 8 p.m., sponsored by ECM, United Methodist Campus Ministry and the Catholic Apostolic Church.
"We do the pancake supper every semester on the night before finals start, but this year, since Christmas is so close, we decided to make it a part of that, too." Holcombe said.
Holcombe said he expected the event to draw about 80 people. For more information, call ECM at 843-4933.
The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center will hold a Christmas party tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Mormon Ranch Mormon Ranch is named after the owners, not the Mormon religion.
"They always donate the ranch
for us to come out and use at our disposal," said John Schmeidler, assistant director for the center. "We'll be playing games, having a campfire, and it's just a nice time to relax and enjoy one another."
Schneidler said he expected the party to draw anywhere between 50 people and 100 people.
Because most students will be gone the center will cut back its Mass schedule during the winter break.
It will continue regular Sunday liturgies, but other than that will have only 4:30 p.m. Masses in addition to masses on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Schmeidler said.
For more information, call the center at 843-0357.
'ER' hospital gets new digs
Edited by Chris Wintering
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Cook County Hospital, the sprawling institution that inspired TV's ER and provided first-class care under Third World conditions for much of the last century, is shutting its doors.
At 7 a.m. today, patients will start moving from the old building into a sleek new one nearby. While the distance between the two can be measured in yards, the difference is immeasurable.
Dr. David Soglin pointed at an elevator in the new building and said: "You can actually push a button and go where you want, which is an incredible experience for us at County."
The public hospital has provided care to everyone, regardless of ability to pay, since 1914. The centerpiece was a trauma unit—the nation's first—with a training program that attracted doctors from around the world.
Ask any Chicago cop where he'd want to be taken if shot and the answer will invariably be "County." In fact, 98 percent of patients who arrive alive at the trauma center survive.
ER was set at County General by its Chicago-born creator, Michael Crichton, who was a student at Harvard Medical School. The show debuted in September 1994.
While many doctors and staff members admit to a sense of nostalgia for the old building, it's the kind
of nostalgia World War I veterans might muster for trench warfare.
With its intermittently operating elevators, funky smells, shortage of bathrooms, lack of sunlight, vast distances between wards and other nuisances, the building was declared too decrepit for modern surgery by the American College of Surgeons in the 1930s.
Yet its doctors pioneered the trauma center and the blood bank and made internationally recognized advances in prenatal care.
"I think we'll all miss that building at some ridiculous emotional level," said Soglin, the chairman of pediatrics. "There is apverse pride in working under these conditions."

KU engineers to launch miniature cube satellites
By Peter Van Auken
editor@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
A University of Kansas team of engineering students plans to launch mini-satellites into space in late 2004. The 4-inch cube satellites, called CubeSats, will be KU's first spacecraft to be designed, built and launched.
The CubeSats program is pamed KUTESats, an acronym for KU Technology and Evaluation Satellites. They will be produced as a joint effort of the Aerospace Engineering and Electrical Engineering departments.
Trevor Sorensen, associate professor of aerospace engineering and adviser to the project, first heard about CubeSats in August 2001. He said he did not have a good scientific objective for starting a program at the University until last winter when Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a NASA organization, invited the University to join its solar sail team.
"One of their needs was the development of small inspection probes to be carried by the mother ship, and this led to using CubeSats for developing prototypes," he said.
Sorensen said the two goals of the project were to bring the capability to build and fly satellites to KU and give astronautical engineers some practical experience to complement their class work.
"The satellites have tremendous teaching value because they can be designed and built in one year." Sorensen said.
Marco Villa, Italy aerospace engineering doctoral student, is project manager for the program. Graduate students head up each
of the six teams involved, which have 20 undergraduate students.
"Until now, very few universities have ventured into actual satellite building," Villa said. "But the idea is rapidly expanding outside the U.S."
The first part of the project, which began in June, is a development of KU's first satellite in the KUTESats series: The Pathfinder.
The aluminum-alloy shelled mini-satellite will weigh a little more than 2 pounds and have its own power supply and two-way communications system. Initially, the satellite will be used to measure radiation in space and produce images from a miniature camera.
Once deployed, Villa said he hoped the satellite would remain operative in Earth's orbit for three to four years and would be used as tool to train students and provide information for the next group of KUTESats.
"Right now we are midway through the design and development stage," Villa said. "It is very challenging to fit so much technology into a 10 centimeter cube."
Future launches will use satellites to inspect solar sails of larger spacecraft for damages and to collect images and environmental data for 3-D mapping of the planet Mars' atmosphere.
Umakanth Goud, Gadwal India graduate student in aerospace engineering, is developing a CubeSats propulsion and orientation control system for his thesis. He said the system was the smallest of its kind.
"The thrusters are the width of an ink pen." Goud said.
The system is based on miniature thrusters, which will allow 360-degree maneuverability of
the satellite after deployment.
Even though the entire project will take years, Villa said the time and effort would be worth it.
"The greatest payback will come at the end of the project." Villa said. "I'll be able to say there is a piece of myself in orbit around Earth."
While the program has no official budget yet, Sorensen has been promised some Kansas Space Grant Consortium funding as well as enthusiasm from different companies in the space industry such as JPL, Honeywell, Swales Aerospace and Lockheed-Martin.
Villa said the cost of launching a single CubeSat was around $50,000. Putting the CubeSats into space is relatively inexpensive because they are piggybacked onto a launch that already has been purchased, he said.
"In the world of space, CubeSats are very cheap but still expensive for a university," Villa said. "This means we must look hard for outside donations."
In addition to launch costs, the project also requires $20,000 for production of the satellite and its ground control system.
Villa said an important part of the project was developing a strong space interest at the University as well as in the state. The team plans to collaborate with the American Astronautical Society to promote the space program to Kansas high school students next year.
"Right now, Earth has a limited amount of resources." Villa said. "Space exploration is important because it offers solutions to our future problems."

OPEC orders less pumping
VIENNA, Austria — Despite an oil industry strike in Venezuela and preparations for war in the Gulf, several OPEC oil ministers said yesterday the cartel must pump less oil or risk a collapse in crude prices next spring.
Delegates of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries fear that excess production by some member nations might undermine the group's goal of keeping prices at around $25 a barrel.
"We are very worried," said Obaid bin Saif al-Nasseri, oil minister for the United Arab Emirates, as he arrived at a hotel in Vienna.
OPEC delegates met informally to discuss production for
the coming months, ahead of a formal session planned for today at the group's headquarters in the Austrian capital.
OPEC, which produces about one-third of the world's oil, has an output target of 21.7 million barrels a day. Some members tried to cash in on high prices by boosting output this autumn, and many analysts say the group now exceeds its target by about 12 percent, or 2.5 million barrels a day.
"There's more than enough oil on the market," said Qatari Energy Minister Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiya.
OPEC must curb production "especially in the second quarter" of next year, he said, when demand for home heating oil tends to decline with the
warmer springtime weather in major importing nations of the Northern Hemisphere.
As they try to assess the supply and demand for oil, OPEC delegates also must consider the impact of a national strike in member state Venezuela, the world's fifth-largest crude exporter. The strike, which entered its 10th day Wednesday, has paralyzed oil shipments from the country.
Turmoil in Venezuela has compounded uncertainty about the impact a U.S.-led military attack might have on crude production in Iraq.
January contracts of light, sweet U.S. crude slipped 9 cents a barrel to $27.65 in afternoon trading in New York, after jumping 55 cents Tuesday.
Activists' abandon party
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Two peace activists abandoned the Labor Party for a new alliance yesterday, sharpening the debate over how to make peace with Palestinians.
Yossi Beilin, an architect of the interim Israel-Palestinian peace accords in the mid-1990s, and Yael Dayan, daughter of war hero and Labor Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, joined forces with Meretz, a smaller, more dovish bloc with a liberal social platform.
The two were angered they were not among Labor's top candidates for parliament.
Both Israel and Palestinians are planning elections in January, but Palestinians said theirs
will probably have to be postponed because Israeli military operations make it impossible to organize them. The Israeli military controls most West Bank population centers.
Israel and the United States have been pushing for the election, insisting Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat be replaced or sidelined.
But Ali Jarbawi, head of the Palestinian election preparations committee, said the panel would meet next week to recommend Arafat delay the Jan. 20 vote.
The Israeli army, meanwhile, kept up its pressure in the West Bank, fatally shooting a suspected militant in one refugee camp and spiriting away two others in another.
Arafat and the Palestinians
are the focus of Israel's election campaign as the parties choose candidates for parliament. The vote is scheduled for Jan. 28.
In a primary election Monday, Labor Party members dumped Beilin and Dayan from the top of their list, even though they recently selected a dove, Amram Mitzna, as leader.
That led the two to Meretz, where they will be top candidates. Meretz won 10 seats in the last election.
In a statement, Beilin said he hoped to strengthen the peace camp in Israel.
The exit of the two most prominent peace advocates from Labor buttressed the prospect of another "national unity" government, or one with a wider perspective of political views.

Students opt to go home not attend home game
By Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Kansans sportwriter
Despite the men's basketball team's victory last night over Tulsa, many students will leave town instead of sticking around for Dec. 21's home game against UCLA.
Students said they would go elsewhere after their last finals instead of attending the game. Some cited the poor scheduling of the game, taking place one day after the last final of the fall semester
"I don't understand why they do that," Josh Vignery, Goodland junior, said. "I can understand early January but right after finals?"
Vignery will not attend the game because he will leave Lawrence in the middle of next week, in part to attend a friend's graduation ceremony in Fort Coll

Kansas senior forward Nick Collison drives against Oregon's Robert Johnson on Saturday. Collison scored 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds against Tulsa last night in the Jayhawks' 89-80 victory in Tulsa.
Vignery also echoed the sentiment of many students for another reason not to attend the game.
"I think because of the way KU has played, more people will be going home instead," he said.
One student tentatively plans on sticking around for the remainder of finals week to attend the game, yet has some reservations about the atmosphere at the game.
crowd.
"I still think it will be a good game," Boyle said. "But you won't be seeing the regular crowd support."
Vignery cited the lack of crowd enthusiasm in last year's winter break home game against Valparasio, in which crowd energy was at a low point without the usual complement of the student body.
"I might go to the game, but I do not sense a whole lot of excitement for it," J.D. Boyle, Shaker Heights, Ohio, senior, said.
Without the support of avid fans because of the team's slow start and the questionable scheduling of the game, Boyle said, he thought the game would lack the usual enthusiasm from the crowd.

Kansas avoids three-game losing streak thanks to Collison's 26-point effort
By Jessica Scott
jscott@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Nick Collison must have realized something important between Saturday's and last night's game at Tulsa — it's easier to score points when you're on the court.
And score he did.
With the threat of a three-game losing streak on the line, Collison showed up huge in every way and helped turn the Jayhawks' recent turmoilsoars as No.19 Kansas defeated No.18 Tulsa 89-80.
"It's a great feeling in that locker room," coach Roy Williams said after the game. "This is the kind of moments that I really coach for. It's a heck of a feeling. We needed this one to say the least."
Collison showed up looking like a preseason All-American should against the Golden Hurricane, wiping out any memory of his unusual seven-point performance at Oregon last week. Collison managed to elude the foul problems that plagued him against the Ducks, as he did not pick up his first foul until the second half. Collison's lack of fouls led to more playing time, which in turn allowed him to score 14 points – seven more than his total from the previous game – in the first half.
Collison ended with an impressive
all-around game, scoring 26 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in 37 minutes. He nailed two shots behind the three-point arc and hit all eight of his free throw attempts.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he told Collison to play how he knows he can, and Collison responded.
"Nick had a great day." Williams said. "He struggled on Saturday
against Oregon, felt like he had really cost us the game, but he was big time for us tonight."
Kansas heavily denied the basketball on the perimeter - a skill the Jayhawks have struggled with this season but the pressure did not phase Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane nailed all five of its three-point attempts in the opening 20 minutes, including a 35-foot shot bv
Antonio Reed at the buzzer.
Sophomores Keith Langford and Wayne Simien rejuvenated the Jayhawk offense, scoring a combined 10 straight points, which gave Kansas a 48-45 lead with 15:20 left in the game. The Jayhawks outscored Tulsa 12-5 in the opening five minutes of the second

Second loss shock for women's team
Loss to Wichita sends Jayhawks to other end of the win/loss spectrum

Kansan Sportswriter
After a 4-0 start gave the young Kansas women's basketball team some early season confidence, the Jayhawks are now seeing the other end of the spectrum after Wichita State handed Kansas its second straight defeat.
The Jayhawks (4-2) were unable to overcome three Shockers scoring in double figures, including 26 points from junior forward Carlesa Dixon. Dixon also added 13 rebounds in the 84-58 win.
The Jayhawks were led by three freshman scoring in double figures. Forward Crystal Kemp led Kansas with 15 points, point guard Erica Hallman added 13, and forward Tamara Ransburg had 11. Defensively, Ransburg added a team-high three blocked shots, extending her season total to 27.

After being outrebounded in both of their games in last weekend's Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic, the team was outrebounded once again. 44-32.

The fall semester is usually an easy call, with the football team losing a large majority of its games and the men's basketball team rolling over cupcakes and a few ranked teams in preseason tournaments.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
crow
While the Jayhawks have held to tradition on the gridiron, Roy Williams' boys have surprised fans by dropping three of their first six games. Also surprising is the women's basketball team, which has not only defeated some weak teams on the season but also looks as if it may quickly rebound from last season 5-25 record.
Kansas' soccer and volleyball teams both played well before getting shut out of their respective NCAA tournaments, and both the men's and women's golf teams played well with young Jayhawks seeing significant time on the courses.
You lose to Baylor — which had loss 29 straight conference games — and you get a failing grade. It's that easy, but there are plenty of other reasons the Jayhawks deserve the worst possible mark. Kansas was last or next-to-last in the Big 12 Conference in scoring offense, scoring defense, rushing defense, total

The most-loved coach and team at Kansas has come under fire by fans because of a dismal — in terms of Kansas basketball standards — 4-3 start.

The mere fact that the women's basketball team's record is better than that of the men's team could cause any Kansas fan to take notice. Last night's 84- 58 loss to Wichita State knocked the Jayhawks down a notch, though.

So was a 1-1 tie with Nebraska, the Jayhawks' first nonloss to the Cornhuskers in the nine times they've faced off. Two road losses, one to Baylor and one late in the season to Missouri, and a 4-5-1 conference record cost the team a chance in the NCAA tournament. Though Caroline Smith and Jessica Smith aren't related, the two freshmen forwards nearly were equally impressive in their first season, helping give Kansas hope that next year may be its season to finally win a postseason game.
Volleyball — B+
The "Most Cheated of the Semester" award from the Kansan sports department is a prize this team would rather not have won. The Jayhawks finished 19-10 overall and 10-10 in the Big 12, good enough for sixth place in the conference. No Big 12 team that had finished sixth or higher with a .500 record had not been selected for the NCAA Tournament — until this season.

Sweet Sixteen. Elite Eight. Final Four. And now the Talented Twenty-Five. Will Kansas be at the center of this year's bracket? Will the girl in the mail room pick the NCAA champion? Read on for everything you ever wanted to know (but were afraid to ask) about college basketball.
1
WINTHROP
Okay, so they went 19-12 last year. And they are from the Big South Conference. But trust us, the Eagles can definitely hoop. Besides, these guys are made up of 4,500 polygons, just like any other team.
2 ARIZONA
22
What's the 411 on the 'Cats? Not only do they have all five of their starters returning, but they also have what most consider to be the best frontcourt in college basketball. Can you say Dynasty Mode?
3 KANSAS
89 2P06
86 84
4 OKLAHOMA
Despite losing a key player to the NBA, look for the Jayhawks to return to the Final Four this year. We've seen what they have been doing in Practice Mode, and, trust us, we are thoroughly convinced.
Another team we predict to be returning to the Final Four in 2003. Not only do they return with 70 new player models, they look good doing it, too.
5 TEXAS
6
Look for what could be the most exciting duo in college basketball to rate high in the on-screen player ratings.
23
PITTSBURGH
Add the slick job done in recruiting to the usual Blue Devil talent pool, and you get a team that is bound to make some noise. Get ready to hear Billy Packer and Eddie Doucette saying, "And the Blue Devils win again," a lot this season.
7 DUKE
They say everything is bigger in Texas, but what we notice on this team are the little guys. The backcourt is the cream of the crop. End of discussion. Obviously, somebody did their homework before this year's recruiting.

8 GEORGIA
The Dawgs' poll position could change in October, depending on their front-court production. If they produce, prepare for this team to move a little higher in the polls.
KENTUCKY
9
11 UCLA
Should come down to the wire between them and Georgia for the SEC crown. Use the over 30 new dunks (including reverses, follow-ups and 360-degree jams) and this Wildcat team might overtake that other Wildcat team.
10 VIRGINIA
The Cavs are not happy with last season's late collapse that landed them out of the tournament. Don't let that fool you; they've got the talent. Not a pushover computer opponent. Not in the least.
No, it's not the 1970s Bruins. but this team ain't bad, either. Besides, the digital cheerleaders are really easy on the eyes. Definitely easy on the eyes.
A
12
MICHIGAN STATE
This year their most famous alumnus will make it into the NBA Hall of Fame. That just might spark the Spartans to play at an elevated level.
13 XAVIER
"Who?" That's right, Xavier. Get used to seeing this school in the polls. The Musketeers are clearly the class of the A10. How does a team go from unranked to number 13? Practice Mode, Practice Mode, Practice Mode.
14 ALABAMA
With the return of some key players, the Tide possesses one of the best inside-outside combos in the league. If you are attending a Tuscaloosa fish fry this year, expect to see some happy basketball fans.
15 MISS. STATE
The Bulldogs, coming off a Southeastern Conference tournament championship, have a tough schedule, playing both Xavier and Oklahoma this year. Said one player, "Hey, I'm all for just selecting Tournament Mode, and just get right to the tourney."
16 OREGON
Enjoying its first league championship in 63 years and one of the last eight teams standing in last year's tourney. Oregon's picked second by us in the Pac-10, behind No. 1 Arizona. Expect a long stay in the NCAA tournament this year for the Ducks.

The pressure is really on to produce and get the Wildcats back into the tournament after a three-year absence. In addition to all the new faces on the team, there will also be new duds for the 'Cats as Villanova debuts a new digital uniform.
18 FLORIDA
19 UCONN
How about that SEC? Yet another entry from a very tough conference. Tough conference or not, the Gators hold their own against some of the NCAA's best.
Expect the Huskies again to be strong in the backcourt. Use the right analog stick control to perform spin moves and dropsteps out of the post to put the solid backcourt to good use.
20 MARQUETTE
21 INDIANA
The Golden Eagles open against Villanova, marking the first time the two teams have met since the 1980 NCAA tournament. Can this young team hold its own in an upcoming Conference USA? We think so.
Can they get the support they need inside? If not, the Hoosiers could be off-balance even with what should be an extremely productive perimeter.
22 GONZAGA
Can the Bulldogs get the top scorer they need to emerge? Time spent in recruiting will be time well spent. Everything else is in place for another banner season on the left coast.
23 MARYLAND
MILTON
We're considering these champs an outside shot at defending the title after losing four starters. Terps get a new arena this year. Unfortunately, they are also getting a mostly new team, as well.
24 MISSOURI
Mizzou's run to the Elite Eight last year was the Tigers' longest stint in the tourney in eight years. And this should be another promising year.
13
25 USC
A long shot to win the title. Let's face it, they are no Winthrop. But don't count them totally out, either.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3
Students'partying ways wane with years
By Nathan Dayani
ndayani@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Some time between freshman year and graduation, students reach a point when they no longer feel compelled to party on a daily basis.
For some students, the added responsibilities of seniority and increasingly difficult class schedules often compromise their willingness to party like a rock star.
"Classes get tough," Jennifer Iverson, Prairie Village senior, said. "There's not that impetus to go out Friday and Saturday night and spend your whole weekend hung over."
Iverson said students often started their college careers with a carefree attitude and few significant obligations. Part of the freshman experience is being free from parents for the first time and escaping from the mundane high-school routine, Iverson said.
Lucas Wetzel, Westwood senior, agreed.
"It's definitely fun to be running around, young and free — and intoxicated," Wetzel said.
Wetzel is a former Kansan reporter.
House parties are often the only alternative to partying in the residence halls. But significant differences exist between small and large house parties, Eric Kautzi, Leawood sophomore, said. Kautzi, who lived in a house during his freshman year, said he disliked large parties because they tended to lead to large groups acting irresponsibly.
"It kind of comes with the territory," he said. "I was more comfortable hanging out at my own house, drinking on my couch with my friends," he said.
But Iverson frequented both small and large gatherings during her freshman year. They were an opportunity to meet a variety of KU students, she said.
"Iexposed myself to people with differenit majors and learned a lot from them," she said. "It's always fun to see people in classes
you saw at parties because you get a sense of what they're really like," I verson said.
As students get older and move out of residence halls, they are more prone to partying at more intimate gatherings held at houses and apartments, Amber Huntzinger, Lawrence senior, said. Huntzinger, who lived in a large apartment complex during her sophomore year, said she and her roommates often hosted small gatherings with their neighbors.
Huntzinger is also a former Kansan staff member
"We were too young to go out to the bars," she said. "We did a lot of our partying at our apartment because we knew our neighbors."
Wetzel also said that he began to party at smaller venues as his college career progressed.
"You start to appreciate smaller gatherings and hanging out with people you know," he said.
By the time students are old enough to drink legally at bars, their temptation to
party may be diminishing, Huntzinger said.
"The excitement has kind of worn off a bit," she said. "I do it a lot more for the social aspect of being with my friends rather than just going out to drink."
And with seniority comes responsibility. Iverson said.
"I've gotten a lot more aware of what drinking and being hung over does to your productivity," she said.
Although Wetzel said he no longer attended large parties as he did during his early college days, he was glad to see that the tradition lived on with younger students.
"It's kind of fun squeezing through a kitchen when you're 18 and everyone else is 18," he said.
But now, Wetzel said, he would feel out of place if he attended such a party.
"It would be like I was trying to repeat my wayward youth," he said. "You can't rewrite history."

'Kansan' clears out 'crap drawer' for belated review
COMMENTARY
RISING Simulating Sex
A.
Jayplay writers cover a wide variety of topics such as cooking, sex, books and productions at University Theatre, but how do the writers know what to write about? Well, people send us their products to review.
Donovan Atkinson datkinson@kansan.com
The Kansan receives CDs from record labels practically every day. Film studios send packets of information on upcoming feature films or video releases.
By the end of the semester, The University Daily Kansan accumulates CDs, books and movies that were not selected for its weekly reviews. Donovan Atkinson gives last-minute attention to some of the rejects.
Here's a peek at some of the more unusual freebies tossed our way this semester:
Photo illustration by Kyle Ramsey/Kansan
Matchstick Men by Eric Garcia
Garcia, author of such classics as the dinosaur detective novel Anonymous Rex, gives readers a view into the world of grifters. Not just any grifter world, but the grifter-with-issues world. The book itself reads like stage directions for a play, Garcia apparently likes short, choppy sentences.
The Clitoral Truth by Rebecca Chalker
Subtitled The Secret World at Your Fingertips, this book is a guide to all things clitrelated. While Chalker's text is informational, giving a history of the clitoris, the art by Fish is unsettling. Fish's artwork contrasts with the classy cover photo of a woman's torso. The art is rough and dirty, and the word "skanky" comes immediately to mind.
Kansas City, Mo., Holiday Press Kit
The Convention and Visitors Bureau of Greater Kansas City decided to let us know about all the great things to do in Kansas City, Mo., during the holidays. This season, they are using the slogan "Kansas City: A Flavor All Its Own." So of course, a packet of barbecue spices was attached to the press kit folder. I know when I think of Christmas, my thoughts always turn to barbecue.
Worship God by Rebecca St. James
Want to know why most Christian music artists don't make it to the Top 40? Look no further than Rebecca St. James. Her DVD, Worship God, showcases three music videos, eight songs and several special features. On one of the features, St. James takes us behind the scenes of her music video "Reborn." The video features martial arts, an old man with a disappearing egg and a funky techno beat. When's
the tour?
Lizzie West by Lizzie West
West is an inspiration to aspiring song writers: no matter how bad you are, someone will record your album. Written and sung by West, the four songs on the sample CD seem to come straight from the WB. The lyrics seem to tell a story, a story that you missed the beginning of and started listening to halfway through. Somebody
should inform West that singing about burying the family dog in a Christmas song is not a good way to establish an audience.
X by Def Leppard
If you enjoyed Def Leppard in the '80s, then you're in luck. They still sound like an '80s band, as psuedo-ballads abound. Accompanying our copy was another CD, Def Leppard Q & A, where the band relates what contributed to its "success."

Cozy up by the fire with some wacky holiday classics
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, and that's all that matters to Clark W. Griswold. Griswold, played by Chevy Chase, looking out for his beloved family once again, wants to make sure this is the best Christmas the family has had yet. Instead of traveling, Clark and Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo) have family come to visit their
suburban Chicago home.
In America, it is traditional to want to spend the holiday times with family and loved ones. Clark, being the family man he is, wants the whole nine yards. He is willing to overcome the obstacles of fighting in-laws, the 125,000 lights on the house not working and small

animal mishaps to carry out the best Griswold Christmas. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation makes viewers realize how normal their families are.
John Hughes did an effective job writing the script, but the actors seemed out of place in certain situations. When Ellen and Clark's parents show up at the house, there is immediate tension between the two sets of parents as they are heard bickering on the front porch. The parents seem useful only when imitating what is thought of as typical in-laws. The four characters don't add to the plot of the story and act more like extras than actual cast members.
Through all of the Lampoon Vacation movies, different people played the children. When the Griswolds were vacationing in Europe in 1985, Jason Lively played Rusty and Dana Hill played Audrey. During Christmas Johnny Galecki was Rusty and Juliette Lewis was Audrey. In 1997, the Griswold family traveled to Las Vegas and Ethan Embry played Rusty and Marisol
Nichols played Audrey. All the cast changes for the children made them noncharacters. Rusty and Audrey became noncharacters when they were substituted with others. This also lacks credibility when Chase and D'Angelo always play Clark and Ellen.
Though the extended family may be a backdrop, and Rusty and Audrey are cast differently, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation has something everyone can attest to during the holiday season.

Home for the Holidavs
Home for the Holidays delivers family dysfunction with sympathy and laughter. The Larson family is in a Thanksgiving from hell. The movie is a mixture of comedy and drama, which may represent many family reunions. Viewers may find this comfortably or uncomfortably familiar.
Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter) loses her job when her teenager daughter, Kitt. (Claire Danes) informs her she was ready to lose her virginity. Claudia's mother, Adele, (Anne Bancroft) also keeps reminding
Claudia how much she needs a husband.
Henry Larson, the father, (Charles Durning) is a retired airport maintenance worker who spends his time eating. In one scene, he tries to sneak a bite in the pumpkin pie without leaving evidence. Adele spends most of her time making food in the kitchen and

ignoring family problems. They are two lovable characters but are oblivious to the chaos in the lives of their kids.
Home for the Holidays MGM Starring: Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft, and Charles Durning
Claudia's gay brother, Tommy (Robert Downey Jr.) comes home with his friend, Loo, (Dylan McDermott), who may or may
not be gay. The next day Claudia and her brother pick up Aunt Glady (Geraldine Chaplin), an old spinster who has 210 plants in her house and an eternal crush on their father, Henry. Claudia's sister, Joanne (Cynthia Stevenson), comes on the scene with a perfectionist attitude and high morals. She has contempt for everyone in the family, especially her brother. Her husband's (Steve Gutenberg) character may remind viewers of Family Ties' Alex P. Keaton. At the dinner table he talked about the importance of investing in the stock market and family values. When this dysfunctional family sits down for a meal the turkey flies, literally. All family secrets are revealed and no one leaves the house unscathed.
What works in the film is that all of the characters act like they have experienced these events before. When Aunt Glady stands up before the turkey carving and recounts her memory of the time Henry kissed her on the lips, it only stops the conversation for a second. It seems like Glady's affection for Adele's husband has been said before.
Hunter is adequate as Claudia in the film. She often plays a strong, resilient woman without a husband. She was fiercest in the 1987 Broadcast News and more subdued in the 1998 movie Living Out Loud. Hunter takes full advantage of her harried look and squeaky voice throughout the movie.
5
It seems Claudia should be the star character, but, Home for the Holidays, gains most of its emotional weight from Tommy. He is obnoxious and takes stinging jabs at Cynthia's prissiness, yet remains emotionally available for Claudia. Downey brings out the complexities of a character who uses a quick wit to keep the world's hurts at arm's length. Downey is a versatile actor and can play a lead character in Chaplin, for which he was nominated for an Oscar, and still add to a movie as a supporting character in this movie.
Foster's directing sometimes is uneven. Claudia begins the movie with a bad head cold, but loses it suddenly without explanation. In a scene with Claudia and Joanne, Foster helps the actors reveal the differences and misunderstandings between sisters and shows the complexities of family problems. In the scene, Joanne tells Claudia, "If I wasn't related to you and you gave me your phone number, I'd throw it away." After Claudia leaves the room, Joanne breaks down in tears, wishing somehow it could be different.
The film also reveals what viewers may wish was the true spirit of family gatherings. Tommy comes home so he can comfort his sister in her time of need. The father, reminisces in one scene about the time he took
fulfill
his family to stand on an airport tarmac and watch planes takeoff. He said it was the best 10 seconds of his life. The underlying theme of the movie is the importance for families to hold together, despite the troubled circumstances of their lives.

A Christmas Story
There are only so many times one can watch It's a Wonderful Life, the seminal feel-good film that repeats incessantly during the holiday season on cable. For those craving a little sour with their sweet there's A Christmas Story.
This movie is a classic. At nearly 20 years old, A Christmas Story hasn't lost its charm and sense of humor. Sure, it may not be the coolest flick to admit to loving, but who cares? This movie is great — cool or not.
Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) wants
nothing more for Christmas than a Red Ryder BB gun. His whole future happiness depends on his getting this extra-cool BB gun. Alas, his parents (Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon) don't exactly agree. In fact, they are vehemently against buying their son, or having Santa deliver, a gun, citing of course, the classic reason: you'll shoot your eye out.
Bernard Bissell Perry Hamilton
A CHRISTMAS STORY
An original story about a boy who becomes a friend to an angel.
Little children will love it.
A Christmas Story
Warner Brothers
Starring: Darren
McGavin, Melinda
Dillon, Peter Billingsley
The movie is full of other classic catch phrases and scenes: a kid sticking his tongue on a frozen flagpole; the pink bunny suit Ralphie is doomed to don; and the beatup the bully fight scene. The main actors, along with a plethora of supporting characters, pull off the wacky acts with ease. The colorful cast is perfect in every way.
But what really makes this film special is the magic of childhood. The director, the writers and the actors all tap into the wonder, the disappointment and the frustration of youth. The film is based on the memoirs of Jean Shepherd — that's why the film rings so true to life. Shepherd even goes so far as to narrate the movie himself. It's these small touches and the little inside jokes, observations and gags, that also add to the delight of the movie.
A Christmas Story is a holiday must-see. It will take even the most hardened of viewers back to the good old days of childhood. Many movies deserve the designation "classic" but this one definitely does.

No sorry selections: holiday CDs for all
From the sophisticate to the non-traditionalist, the choices are endless for celebrating the season
By Amy Kelly akelly@kansan.com Jaypley writer
The Christmas season is upon us and that means record stores are pushing their infinite holiday collections with gusto.
To the untrained eye, the numerous Christmas CDs may appear to have relatively the same content — a little Santa here, a little Bethlehem there.
The shopping excursion for the perfect holiday album has gotten just a little easier, however. Jayplay has organized a list of CDs that are sure to appease even those with the pickiest sensibilities.
The Sophisticate: Christmas with the Rat Pack, Various Artists
Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin are going to make
FRANK SIBATTA DEAN MARTIN SAMMY DAVIS JR.
THE PAT PACK
this one swinging holiday. You can almost hear the cling of ice in Ol' Blue Eyes' cocktail as he belts out "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," making this collection of songs a must for those who fancy themselves from the wrong era. Other featured songs include Martin's "Peace on Earth/Silent Night" and Davis' "Jingle Bells."
The Traditionalist: Seasons Greetings, Perry Como
The options are limitless in the traditionalist category, but you certainly can't go
KATHLEEN C. HUGHES
wrong with Perry Como. Sure, the man was the target on Canada's variety show SCTV for seeming infamously drowsy, but don't let that scare you. Como has mastered the art of singing Christmas songs and makes you feel like all is right in the world. Whether singing "White Christmas" or "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," the man is flawless.
The Non-traditionalist: Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics, South Park Series
This CD is not for those who may have a heart condition, may be easily
Mr. Hankey's
CHRISTMAS
CLASSICS
offended or don't like the idea of Christmas in hell. Yes, South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker released this record during the heyday of their series and Mr. Hankey's surely didn't disappoint. Taking jabs at everyone from Hindus to the Christ child himself and full of sexual innuendo, the record should not be touched, let alone looked at, by a traditional holiday enthusiast. And for Christmas haters: Your ship has arrived.
The Kid at Heart:
Chipmunks Greatest
Christmas Hits, Chipmunks
Yes, the Chipmunks may now be considered passé.
THE CHRISTIAN FILMWORKS
COLUMBIA STUDIO CINEMAS
with many a young college student not aware of their genius, but the cute little trio deserves to be brought back into the limelight this Christmas. Before head-tilting high notes were brought in style by Mariah, the Chipmunks revolutionized them in "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)." Released in 1958, this holiday hit sold 5 million copies that year and went on to win two Grammys.
The Romantic: When My Heart Finds Christmas, Harry Connick, Jr.
Christmas is not just for families, so let's give a little love to the couples out
Henry Coulomb JP.
A WILLIAM HENRY COULOMB, M.A.
there. Finding a Christmas CD that is both true to the season and to your lovey-dovey feeling may seem unfathomable, but don't you worry. Connick's Christmas album is this generation's answer to Sinatra. Sultry and intimate, Connick's voice has the ability to make "Let It Snow!" make you feel like being in love.

Approach matters more than time when studying
Prioritizing could reap rewards in time crunch, every minute counts

HEALTH
You have four borderline grades, four finals and one week to study.But there's no need to freak.
When it comes to anything that causes stress, sometimes the problem doesn't lie in the limited amount of time you have to finish a project, but how you actually go about getting it done.
Stress builds up over time, but eliminating it only takes a few minutes. You can save yourself a whole week's worth of worry by applying a few simple methods to your daily study routine.
Take time to prioritize. A good idea is to follow the 80-20 rule introduced by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. He said that 80 percent of the reward comes from 20 percent of the effort, so it's best to concentrate on that 20 percent that you feel
Jaypley is working with HOMEBASE to answer questions about body acceptance, healthy eating and physical fitness. Students in health-related fields will answer readers' questions every week. Submit questions to achap@ukans.edu. Participants will remain anonymous.

Figure out your type. Do you work best late at night and like to sleep in? Or does waking up with the sun get you ready to start studying? Determining when you
HEALTH Q&A
are most productive could be half the battle when it comes to studying.
Write down some de-stressing activities. Instead of zoning in on The Real World during a study break, find something that you enjoy that keeps you active at the same time. Remember, when you were a kid, you played games to feel happy. The same should hold true for today. Activities like games and playing music stimulate your brain and help you feel less tense.
Don't waste time. Remember that five minutes is a lot longer than you think it is.
Waiting for the bus? Then go over your notes from class. Have to make a phone call, wrap a present, or do the dishes? A few minutes is usually all it takes.
Break study material down. Instead of thinking of the chemistry final as one big chunk of concepts you need to learn, take 15 minutes to break it down into sections that can be learned individually.
When anxiety hits its peak, sit back and recall that no one is perfect. In the Malaysian culture, only the gods are seen as able to produce anything without flaws. Striving for that A may only stress you out more, leading to a lower grade than if you would have decided to approach the material in the best way you could.
Consider a few words of wisdom: "He that worry hath little joy, and few things are fatal." Chances are, things that stress you out the most today are things you won't even remember when the new year rolls around.

Reading a worthwhile pursuit during break
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
With winter break just a finals week away, it's time to consider what to do with all that free time. Contrary to popular belief, we are allowed to indulge in intellectual pursuits when school is not in session.
Winter break offers something college can't deliver: free time.
Take advantage of the schoolwork-free month, and in addition to travel time, family time and "doing nothing-time," pick up a book you've been meaning to read.
To help those who might be searching for a literary companion, here are five books that will make your holidays enjoyable and stimulate your brain.
The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway's large body of work offers a slew of excellent reading choices, but The Sun Also Rises is his best book. Hemingway's first novel follows the laconic Jake Barnes through a post-World War I Europe.
A literary piece demonstrative of the "lost generation," The Sun Also Rises deals with many issues among them love, dealing with an annoying friend, a whorish woman, race and religion. A short, crisp 200 pages or so, The Sun Also Rises is melancholy, short and purposeful, an ideal winter blend.
The Intuitionist, Colson Whitehead
Set in the bizarre allegorical world of the elevator-inspection industry, Colson Whitehead's debut novel deals explicitly with race but discusses it in a disarming, incredibly humorous way.
While Whitehead's editor should be chided — there are far too many dependent clauses without commas, occasionally making reading difficult for the grammatically informed - The Intuitionist squeezes race issues as if they were an orange, resulting in one somewhat pulpy but extremely satisfying glass of juice.
Fasf Foof Nafim, Eric Schloesser
A warning: if you are a fast-food junkie and would like to stay that way, this may not be the book for you this holiday season. If, however, you'd like to know what's
in your meat, literally and figuratively, then Eric Schlosser's grilling non-fiction Fast Food Nation satisfies.
Detailing the rise of fast-food tycoons, the apathy of fast-food workers, woeful conditions in meat plants, globalization of fast-food chains and the preposterously bad luck of a man named Kenny. Fast Food Nation is a muckraking, frightful account of an industry perhaps more pervasive then any other in the United States.
The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Malcolm X and Alex Haley
A biography may seem cumbersome for winter break reading, but fact is often far more interesting than fiction. Such is certainly the case with The Autobiography of Malcolm X, an informative, interesting retelling of one of the United States' most controversial and visible civil rights leaders. Malcolm X's life is as interesting as any fiction novel, and, written by Alex Haley, the author of Roots, it comes alive.
For those lacking ambition, The Autobiography of Malcolm X's 500 plus page count may seem daunting, but you'll be thankful when you realize how much you've learned about one of the United States' most maligned and confused figures.
The Corrections Jonathan Franzen
Ignore his spat with Oprah Winfrey and his off-putting pompousness. Jonathan Franzen is a great writer, and The Corrections proves it. Franzen's third novel is a meandering social novel with big ideas told through the small lens of the Lambert family.
Attimes darkly funny and painfully serious, Franzen encapsulates his distrust of modern society into the travails of the rapidly- declining Lamberts. Franzen's novel is sweeping.
It deals with the economic decline of third-world countries, victims of industrialization and the struggle to control harmful impulses.
It also addresses death, poor parenting, declining health and The Chronicles of Narnia.
With well-drawn, devastatingly familiar characters to propel Franzen's big ideas, The Corrections will hit home, and that's about all you can ask of a novel these days.

Break enjoyed by all
Professors spend time off working, traveling
By Kelly McNearney
kmcnearney@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After finals week, Lawrence will be a ghost town.
Most of the 26,000 students enrolled at the University of Kansas will have headed home for the holidays. They will have dispersed from Lawrence to other cities in Kansas and beyond for a long winter break.
While students are excited about their own vacations, few consider their professors and what they do during four weeks without classes.
Most professors said they would spend some time during the break doing research and preparing for spring classes.
While some teachers will relax and stay in Lawrence, others will bounce around the country traveling.
Stephen Ilardi, professor of psychology will travel east to catch up with his family for a week and a half. His parents-in-law are his only relatives nearby.
"If I'm a good girl I might get some reading done for a course next semester where I've assigned some new books."
Janna Knittel Lecturer in history, English and women's studies
"As soon as I give my last final and turn in my grades I'll be out of here," Ilardi said.
Janna Knittel, lecturer of history, English and women's studies, will travel home to Oregon for the holidays to see her family and friends.
She said she had spent the past couple of years in Lawrence on her own, sad and lonely.
Knittel will also fly to New York for a job convention to interview for a professorship at the University of Denver.
"If I'm a good girl, I might get some reading done for a course next semester where I've assigned some new books,"
Knittel said.
Many professors plan on doing nothing at all.
Mark Joslyn, professor of political science, said he didn't have any big plans.
"I plan to relax, do some reading, catch up on some research and watch my kids grow." Joslyn said.
He said the semester was long for professors and students alike, so he looked forward to the break.
Times have changed for professors who have given up living it up on New Year's Eve as they've aged.
Ilardi said he missed the party days of his youth a little, but wouldn't trade his life now for his past. He plans to spend a lowkey night at home with his wife and daughter, Abby, ringing in the new year with champagne.
"We'll let the little girl stay up late, but she never makes it up until midnight," he said.

Checking it twice Students' lists include dogs, DVDs
By Lindsay Hanson
ihanson@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
They no longer believe in Santa Claus, but many University of Kansas students are still making lists and checking them twice.
Laura Diskin, St. Paul, Kan., junior, said she had sent a holiday wish list to her mother but didn't expect everything to turn up in her stocking.
"I've been wanting a Maltese puppy, so I put that on there," she said. "I don't know if I'll see it or not."
Diskin said the puppy, which would not grow past 2 pounds, would make her apartment feel a little more like home.
Clothes and a trip to Washington, D.C., to visit her aunt are also on Diskin's list. Like many parents, Diskin's mother told her she wanted an outline of things to buy because she didn't want to waste money on gifts Diskin wouldn't like.
Blake Rotter, Bonner Springs sophomore, said he hadn't written down his list because it was still early.
"I don't have any money to shop, so I haven't really started thinking about Christmas really," he said.
But he was keeping a few things in mind,he said. Rotter wants a pair of brown and plaid socks, a pair of brown boxers and a set of guitar strings.
Hesitant to mention the last item on his list, Rotter said it could be found at Priscilla's.
"They have this face dildo thing—it's like a malignant goatee," he said, laughing.
Another student said she had hung her list on the wall for quick reference when family and friends asked her for gift ideas.

"It seems like everyone e-mails, 'Oh what do you want?'" said Tess Montana, Cortex, Colo., freshman. "It's nice to say, hey, I have a list."
Montana said she made sure to stay within a cheap price range. Among the items she included: a battery for her laptop, new Bose speakers for her car and a Target gift card.
Nick Packard, Prairie Village freshman,
"Being away from home, I have less things. The things I use every day at home I don't have up here and I kind of need up here."
David Schmidt

named off a short list. At the top of it was a Box game system, an MP3 player and clothes.
"I don't need too much," he said.

Packard said he would probably make out a list for the future as well.
camera, but he said he didn't expect anything that flashy from friends. They plan to exchange gifts such as DVDs in a more reasonable price range.
David Schmidt, Overland Park freshman, said his Christmas list had grown since he got to college.
The priciest item Schmidt requested was a digi ita!
Making a list of holiday wishes is not something reserved for the youth in Schmidt's family. He said his father still made up a list every year, too.

Writers says goodbye in final sex column
SEX
So, this is my last column. The time when I finally hand off my vibrator and condom crown to the next brave soul attempting to write publicly about doing what most people only whisper about in dark rooms or scream drunkenly in crowded bars.
Getting an expensive bill in the mail or earning a horrible grade on a test make me feel more like running away to Mexico than getting busy in the sack. Even though I struggled to write erotically instead of ranting demonically about how much life sucks, I got through it and am happy I did.
I was in a bar last night when I began worrying about what I was going to say in this, my last little space in The University Daily Kansan. In a weird, twisted way, I feel as if I'm trying to write my own epitaph. I just can't figure out the perfect few words to sum up the craziness that has been the sex column for the past year or so. I thought for a long time, dreamily staring into the depths of my Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat beer and finally came to the decision to get as drunk as possible and let the column come naturally to me.
But I've written a lot of juicy columns while not feeling quite like a sexual superstar. Bad days happen to everyone, after all, and it's not practical to expect some inanimate object like my car to understand how a dead battery can turn my thoughts from all things horny to all things hellish in three seconds flat.
It's because this column — my dream and my baby — isn't about me. I'm just the writer. Almost everyone has sexual cravings and needs. Stop trying to deny it; you know you do. I started this crazy sexual adventure to help make the University of Kansas more comfortable with and informed about the sex college students are having quite often. Instead of whispering, or drunken shouting, the sex column is all about talking about sex like the intrinsic reality it is.
It's an interesting job, to say the least, interesting enough to do for free without too much gripping. After all, the only activities I like almost as much as having sex are writing and talking about sex. And this column has given me a way to do both while at the same time working on my "career" as
Sitting here, 12 hours later, the unfortunate result is that nothing has come to my mind, nothing except a huge, hung-over headache.
bedding then builds to occupitation of location and sourcing your writing piece from a LBD (A DJ) or another writer's work.
Meghan Bainum mbainum@kansan.com
an author or writer of some sort. It's also given me the chance to totter around on spike heels at a Playboy shoot, read interesting letters from prisons all over the nation and publish diagrams of vulvas complete with hair in the Kansan. Even better than prison mail and the Playboy shoot has been talking to people like you, hearing what kind of sex you had, wishing you had or don't want to have, shooting the bull on anal play and dildos or taking a little time to hang out with someone new and talk.
I'm also depending on you to welcome the new sex columnist with open arms and give that person the opportunity to open your eyes to a whole new world of sexual fun.
Even though a new sex guru is about to take over, don't stop waving to me in bars or sharing sexual situations over a beverage of sorts. I'm still writing this column for the Chicago Sun-Times, and I'm depending on Lawrence folk to help me teach those up north how it's done.
Communication is vital for this column. After all, I'm a straight white girl who has never had her own penis, though I have held one for one of my boyfriends while he peed, never experienced the business end of an anal plug and is far too klutzy to bask in the supposed glow of tantric sex. So talking to those of you out there who are experienced in areas where I am not has made this column a lot more informative and fun.
I'm going to miss being the sex columnist. Thursday won't seem like Thursday to me for a while. Still, it's time for someone else to try his hand at writing sex here at KU, so give whoever it is a chance. (Editor's note: Because of technical difficulties with the kansan.com poll, the new sex columnist was not selected. We will announce the new sex columnist at the beginning of next semester.) After all, I'll still be around — most likely staring into a beer, dreaming about an unbroken car — waiting for someone to talk sex with.

Albums renew spotlight on local scene, Aguilera
Christina Aguilera, Stripped,RCA
Those familiar with only the album cover and the first single, "Dirty," be forewarned: this is not
christina and aquilera
magal
a CD full of suggestive, sweaty bump-and-grind beats. Christina Aguilera's Stripped features strong lyrics, smooth ballads and exceptional talent.
Each of the 20 tracks —14 of them cowritten by Aguilera — have a creative edge and style that was missing from her first album. Stripped showcases a more mature and confident Aguilera and includes three collaborative efforts with Lil' Kim, Redman and Alicia Keys.
The manufactured, bubble-gum sound on her first album is gone — you can actually hear individual instruments — and the cutesy, sing-song melodies about "holdin'
hands, makin' plans," and "blowin' kisses" are nowhere to be found.
The album opens by directly explaining title and intention: "I will never hide what I really fee! ... there is no hype, no glass, no pretense, just me, stripped." The individual tracks display not only Aguilera's voice but her personal style and life experiences.
Venting frustration ("Fighter"), suggestive relations ("Get Mine, Get Yours"), Latin background and first love ("Infatuation"), leaving the wrong guy ("Walk Away") and a painful family memory ("I'm OK").
At the core of Stripped's catchy beats and sassy lyrics are Aguilera's impressive vocals - soft and enveloping on the ballads, bold and demanding on the more upbeat dance tracks. She is direct without being overbearing, empowering without being pushy and moving without forcing tears.
This woman knows what she is doing.
Look out for what she tries to tackle next.

Various artists, Loaded in Lawrence, Pipeline Records
With the 2002 release of Loaded in Lawrence, local musicians witnessed a resurrection. Not only was it the return of the
LOADED
storied Loaded compilation—it signaled a call to ignite a renewed national spotlight to the scene.
Eighteen bands with musical styles ranging from ska to indie to crunching hardcore showcased their best during three nights of blistering concerts last April at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
The opening track, "Garlic," features the loud avant-garde sounds of Be/Non.
Mixing male and female vocals and a prismatic array of instrumentation "Garlic" sets a strong pace to the album.
Full Feature offers a layered track in "That One Song," which begins lightly melodic then builds to a combination of distortion and soaring vocals.
Switching gears from rock, DJ Not A DJ recorded "70/10" an intricately swirling concoction of samples and electronic beats.
Rock returned later on in the album with a vengeance as the hardcore group Truth Cell broke into "Evolution," with crashing waves of distortion and throat-scarring vocals.
Proudentall recorded "Spectre," a song marked by pressing lyrics and backed by loud guitars.
The album offers a fast-paced slice of Lawrence's musical life that is loaded to perfection.

Hard rocker eases wait for 'rock saviors' to rescue scene
Everyone is looking for the next Nirvana to end this hellacious era of rock led by Creed and a slew of other over-the-top bands.
POP VULTURE
Bands like the Strokes, the Vines and the White Stripes have been given the title of "rock saviors," but they don't really seem to be catching on in a big way as Nirvana did.
I'm going to reveal a nice outlet for rock fans while we wait around for the next big thing. Andrew W.K. is his name, and rocking hard is his game.
POP TOUTINE
To be quite honest, he rocks harder than anyone I've ever heard in my life. I would
Marc Ingber
mingber@kansan.com
consider him a revivalist of '80s hard rock party music reminiscent of Motley Crue and Poison, but those bands are kiddle music compared to Andrew.
I'm sure everyone is going to say that '80s hard-rock party music is stupid and
childish. The thing is, Andrew knows it's stupid and childish, but that's all the more reason for him to embrace it.
He's all about rocking out and having a good time. Some of his song titles include "It's Time to Party," "Party Hard" and "Party 'Til You Puke."
For those who think Kiss' music is too intellectual, look no further than Andrew W.K.
Pick up his album J Get Wet and get overtaken by a musical force that doesn't give you time to catch your breath.
The album cover features Andrew's face in a bloody mess. Rumor has it that he
smashed his face with a cinder block just for the album cover photo shoot.
I'm telling you folks, he's hardcore.
Andrew W.K. is way too hardcore for mainstream America, not to mention insane. Call me stupid, but I can't see him ever getting the same kind of popularity Nirvana did.
Nevertheless, I doubt he really cares. He's the type of guy who will be rocking hardcore whether he has one fan or a thousand.
And if he keeps bringing the rock like no one else before him, I'll know that he at least has one in yours truly.
Scott, why are you a fish?
Why not? They do this kinda stuff in Zippy all the time.
Oh no! I've been turned into a newt!
Now we just have to make some witty political statement...

FILM
Steven Shupe
lchromister@kansan.com
Some will pick the best performance (for me, it's Samantha Morton in Minority Report), the best cinematography (nothing came close to the ravishing underworld of Road to Perdition) and the best visual effects (there's not a single stilted moment in
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, so eat your heart out, George Lucas).
For the good of humanity, though. I've decided to devote my list to the little guy. These are the movies that failed to get a run in Lawrence theaters (though a few late-comers might show up later this winter). These movies are still far superior to the extended trailers Hollywood likes to sell as feature films nowadays.
In terms of circulation, part of the problem in Lawrence is that South Wind 12,3433 Iowa St., plays only potential blockbusters, so even some mainstream movies, like the critically acclaimed One Hour Photo, won't play here because their subject matter doesn't guarantee box-office success.
Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., has become a local Mecca for independent cinema, but it's relegated to just two screens. Because of that, any important films will either play for a short time or not at all. Just three weeks ago, Igby Goes Down, to my mind this year's best film, played at Liberty Hall for a mere six days.
As for the rest of the best, listed below in order of preference, most of them can be found at local video stores or at Kansas City theaters. Far From Heaven
What would 1950s melodramas have looked like had they explored homosexuality without blinking or treated African Americans as human beings? The answer, a suburban love story with the emotional resonance of American Beauty, should bring director Todd Haynes and stars Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid Oscar nominations.

'Solaris' strips sci-fi down to bare bones
FILM
---
Peter Black
pblack@kansan.com
Solaris is not a movie that the average moviegoer will love. The advertisements promote the film as a romance story, and it is, but it is blended with a mind-bending science fiction story, which raises philosophical questions about what reality consists of.
Dr. Chris Kelvin, played by George Clooney, is a psychiatrist in the somewhat near future who gets an ambiguous message from a friend aboard a space station conducting experiments on a colorful, seething mass of energy known as Solaris. Apparently Kelvin's expertise is needed aboard the ship in an attempt to bring its crew members home because a strange force has taken over the ship. Kelvin finds himself aboard the ship only to find its Star Trek-like stainless steel corridors eerily empty.
He finally stumbles across the only two crew members left alive, Snow and Helen Gordon. It doesn't take long for Kelvin to fall prey the tricks of Solaris when his dead wife, Rheya (Natascha McElhone), appears next to him in bed. Like the other crew members, he is torn between going home to Earth to a reality where his wife is dead or staying on the space station where he can live in an alternate reality
SOLARIS★★★(OUT OF FOUR)
and have a second chance with her to correct his past mistakes with a replica of Rheya.
George Clooney, Nattscha McElhone Rated PG-13 for sexuality/nudity, brief language and thematic elements Playing at South Wind 12, 3433 Iowa St.
The clone of Rheya looks like she did on Earth, a tall, beautiful woman with long, flowing brown hair and exotic facial features like a Victoria's Secret model. However, her saucer-like eyes paired with the stale, metallic-blue lighting of the ship give her an appearance that is almost alien. Although she looks human, she can't be killed, as Kelvin finds out after sending her away on a space pod only to again find her next to him after waking up. She has trouble remembering things from her past because she is made up of the memories from Kelvin's brain. The whole premise of memory fuels much of the internal conflict through the film. Kelvin struggles with whether he remembers Rheya correctly or
if his memories of her are constructed out of preconceptions.
What makes Solaris worth the price of admission is Steven Soderbergh's film-making. This film establishes him as a true auteur. Although he doesn't act as director of photography for this film like he did on his Academy Award-winning Traffic and Ocean's 11, this film looks like a Soderbergh film. Aboard the spaceship, the scenes have a cool crisp look to them, with light blue hues accenting the cold steel walls. The gray in Clooney's hair shines and becomes one of his most dominant features. However, the scenes shot on Earth have soft, rich reds and oranges, appearing to come from lamps within the shot, giving Clooney's skin a warm humanistic glow. The lighting is very romantic, which is fitting because most of the action on Earth depicts Kelvin and Rheya falling
in love. A few fantastic scenes between the two of them are powerful and as simple as a long shot of the two of them nervously brushing each others' hands before finally holding hands for the first time.
The film is nonlinear, bouncing in and out of dreams and back and forth between the spaceship and Earth. It is confusing, but it is meant to be confusing because it reflects the confusion going on within Kelvin's head. There are long shots that are almost completely silent with very little action, which could be perceived as boring and unfulfilling, but I believe that Soderbergh wanted to make the viewer feel empty to mirror the void that Kelvin feels.
It doesn't seem like much happens — it is boring and slow. There are only five major characters and all the action takes place in four locations. However, the film is absolutely fantastic because, when I hear a movie is set in space, a huge production like Star Wars automatically springs to mind.
This film is condensed and stripped to the bare minimum to focus on the real story, the mental struggle that Kelvin is experiencing. To say the least Solaris is an experience — whether it good or bad is up to you.

Analyze This ended with emotionally conflicted Mob boss Paul Vitti, played by Robert De Niro, on the way to Sing Singyet resolving his conflicts, thanks to his neurotic therapist Ben Sobel, played by Billy Crystal. Analyze That opens with Vitti having been in prison a few years with his original panicked state of mind turning into paranoia. He fears for his life, and he fears that his power he enjoyed on the outside is eroding.
He decides to fake crazy by going days at a time communicating in songs from West Side Story. The Feds call in Sobel to analyze this, and the government decides to put Vitti under house arrest in Sobel's home. Their real intent is to get Vitti out with his old cronies to figure out the big heist that's supposed to go down soon. Believable? No, but high concept comedy must create its own logic.

which acts as a front to perfect the "big heist."
Director and co-writer Harold Ramis has proven that he can perfect both familiar comedy (National Lampoon's Vacation and Caddyshack) as well as unbelievable comedy (Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day). The two Analyze films fall somewhere in the middle. The first film was light and funny yet had room for the characters to breathe legitimate angst into
the situation. This was no doubt aided by co-writer Kenneth Lonnergan, (You Can Count on Me and Gangs of New York) whose presence was clearly absent here.
De Niro and Crystal still bounce off one another nicely. Vitti gets in Sobel's face, but they have nowhere to go. De Niro still gets the manic anger of Vitti down, but this time
the conflict is left to Sobel. But it seems to come out of left field, as if the screenwriters were still trying to ape the key points in the original. Too bad there's no momentum behind it here. Apparently, the contract Ramis and co-writer Peter Tolan signed only required them to think up innovative ideas, not to actually flesh them out.

Turnabout trends: ruling the ins and outs
FASHION
The way nymphos pine for sex and megalomaniacs crave the grandiose, I am a magazine addict. Admittedly, lollygagging past the magazine aisle at Dillons doesn't constitute a disorder, but can this reliance on the glossy and two-dimensional be healthy? The problem is you can never catch up. One month's "This spring's must-haves" is in the next month's "Worst Dressed Celebrities." Who is this almighty Wizard of Oz who decides what is in this season and out the next? And not only that, is he or she really omnipotent? I am not the only Dorothy in search of the great and powerful Wizard; Toby Young devoted a chapter of his memoir How to Lose Friends and Alienate People to this.
10
Sarah Behunek pblack@kansan.com
Young was an associate editor for Vanity Fair in the mid-90s but was fired after a year and a half. During this time, Young
saw behind the curtain only to find the Wicked Witch of the East, not a harmful wizard. Before reaching the Emerald City- Vanity Fair - he thought that magazine journalists were not reporting fashion they saw but were actually-gasp-"in cahoots" with advertisers. Kind of an unsaid, de facto-type institution.
Surprisingly to Young, after his shortterm residency in the offices of Vanity Fair. he discovered that not one of his colleagues admitted to his conspiracy theory. But it wasn't their lack of recognition that astounded him; it was their complete and utter denial of such a claim. They perceive themselves as reporters, not puppets being made to dance by the advertising puppet master.
Young muses on magazines' power to convince people that they actually know what they are talking about when they declare a style "in" or "out."
"Ultimately, the reason they are able to pull this off is because they're convinced of it themselves," he wrote. Essentially, the fashion writers believe themselves to be all-knowing and have an innate ability to decree what is in and out each season.
And all I have to say is: but don't they? Confidence denotes credibility almost as much as knowledge does, so why dismiss
their claims if they believe themselves be valid? Young writes that the style psychics' "predictions carried so much weight they ended up becoming self-fulfilling prophecies." The Wizard of Oz had power only because everyone believed he did, but he still had it nonetheless.
This conundrum has my head spinning.
So I will settle with a happy medium: although I do not religiously follow the style suggestions of Vogue or Bazaar, I do consult them as muse-like entities who are in tune with trends. They are there for entertainment, not worship, and put together to serve advertisers as much as people. Keep in mind that yes, the style psychics and advertisers may have a degree of control over how we dress and the glossy pages may be tantalizing, but there is no true wizard behind the curtain.
University of Illinois to mimic 'Real World'
By Jaime Malarkey
Daily Illini (U. Illinois)
via U-Wire
CHAMPAIGN, Ill.- University of Illinois students may be able to participate in a university rendition of MTV's The Real World, minus the cameras, if one student leader can garner enough support for a living-learning program similar to several already in existence at the university.
Patrick Wu, Student Government Association vice president of student groups, said he originally hoped to create living quarters for student group leaders to ease event planning and group collaboration. SGA executives and legislators, for example, could live together and thus coordinate more efficiently.
"I pitched the idea to (university President C.D. Mote Jr.), and it's my first idea he responded to," Wu said.
To get it approved, however, Wu had to expand his vision to the entire campus.
But such a concession makes the proposal similar to several communities on the campus, a point that doesn't deter Wu.
"The greatest thing is, it's open to anyone — you don't have to be in a student group and you don't have to apply to get in," he said.
This contrasts with other university living-learning programs such as the Jiminez-Porter Writers' House, CIVICUS and College Park Scholars, which require residents to meet rigid guidelines.
The Real World Community, however would include mandatory leadership-oriented classes for inhabitants, Wu said. The classes would also enable students to work through the inevitable melodramatics when eclectic students live together, as seen on MTV's reality series.
"I hope there's controversy," Wu said. "Otherwise it's just as boring as regular housing."
Wu plans on advocating new dorms for the program or trying to obtain an area in the South Campus Commons complex to encourage more male/female interaction than the traditional dorms would allow.
Students would have access to a list of groups outlining living areas so interested students could choose to live with participating groups.
Because living and learning centers must be sponsored by an academic department, Wu will meet with Dennis Kivlighan, department chair of education and personnel service, to ask for his support.
Progress and approval is hard to gauge. Wu said.
Kivlighan said his department was recommended as a potential sponsor because of its previous support of College Park Scholars' child outreach programs and a faculty-wide interest in promoting diversity.
If a sponsor commits, a written proposal will be submitted to Dean of Undergraduate Studies Bob Hampton.
Several other influential administrators consider Wu's brainchild a viable idea, but
one that may have already been addressed.
"I hope Pat can maintain his enthusiasm for it and keep advocating for it because as a concept, I think it's a wonderful idea," said Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Warren Kelley.
Kelley also said that some practical realities need to be explored, such as the need for a program so similar to already existing programs and the monetary costs involved.
Laura Lauth, director of the Jiminez-Porter Writers' House living-learning program, echoed Kelley's concerns.
She said the community of Dorchester Hall has a history of focusing on issues of difference and cross-cultural communication and already sponsors ethnically diverse speakers and events for its students.
"I don't think the university would approve and fund a program they felt was redundant," Lauth said.
A hopeful Wu predicts the living centers will be small-scale at first, but anticipates popularity will increase rapidly within the next four or five years.
"I could see an entire quad dedicated to this," he said. The university's living and learning programs are currently ranked No.3 in the nation. This program, Wu said, could take the university over the top by orchestrating genuinely diverse living arrangements.
"The idea that the university has about placing students in diverse living conditions doesn't really happen," Wu said. "It's a facade."
Marvel Comics to bring hero out of the closet
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The Rawhide Kid, a longtime Marvel Comics character, is coming out of the closet next year.
The Kid's orientation, along with his white gloves and a white cowboy hat fashioned from Canadian beaver pelts, will be unveiled this February in a Marvel series called Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather.
Marvel is the home of more old-school comics like Spider-Man and the X-Men. The Kid made his debut in 1955, when comic book sexuality was not an issue and Marvel was looking to cash in on the success of the classic TV show Rawhide.
The times have certainly changed.
"It's not a book solely for a gay readership," said Joe Quesada, editor-in-chief at Marvel. "Who watches Will and Grace? Everybody I know. This is the same. If you like a good story and a good laugh, this is for you."
The Rawhide character will not walk out of the closet and into a saloon — not that there's anything wrong with that.
Part of the comedic slant will come in the Rawhide Kid's asides to the reader after the townsfolk can't quite figure out what makes the gunslinger ... different. In his previous incarnation, the Rawhide Kid was very shy around women. Nothing about that will change in the new version.

Ultra-Americanists retaliate, burn every other country's flags
I will do my best.
Ursula Hoover, Clay Center sophomore, is a member of the KU Ultra-Americans, a group that burns the flags of every country other than America. "I mean, I'm as tolerant as the next girl, but honestly people, if you're not an American, you're just plain evil," Hoover said.

WESCOE BEACH — Tired of seeing the American flag burned in nations across the world every night on the news, members of the University of Kansas' Ultra-American party burned flags representing every country in the world.
KUUA President John Smith said it was about time American citizens did this.
After saying that, Smith burned the flags of Saudi Arabia, Canada, England, Chile, Andorra, Alaska and then Iceland.
"We need to send a message to the world," he said as he burned a Ghanan flag. "If you burn our flag, we burn yours. We don't care what country's flag it is, we're just going to cover them all to make sure. It's hard to keep up with who hates us and who doesn't. Is Alaska a country? Oh well, burn their flag, too!"
"Don't think you're safe, Andorra," yelled one protester. "We don't care how innocent you think you are just because you're small. We notice you on the map. We got people checking for well-hidden countries, too."
Many foreign exchange students were bothered by the protest but soon joined in the festivities.
"We're going to talk about how to pronounce 'America' in a more American way."
"When I saw them burning my flag, I was all like 'Hey, that's not cool,'" Estonian Maidu Tarmo said. "But then they let me

burn a Latvian flag. It felt good. They beat us in soccer last year, the bastards."
"We're also going to have a seminar that day," Smith said. "We're going to talk about how to pronounce 'America' in a more American way. Where I'm from, we say 'Merica. It's just more 'Merican to say 'Merica with a Southern accent, so we're just going to go with it."
Ashcroft demands copy of 'naughty list'
By Brandon Gay

Kansas satire writer
Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today he would use his authority to demand Santa Claus turn over his famous "naughty list" to the government.
"It is absolutely imperative that the government know who has been naughty, who has been nice and what children might be harboring nuclear weapons," Ashcroft said in a press conference.
Ashcroft said if Claus did not turn the
list in, the justice department would be forced to assume all children were naughty.
PETER SCHNEIDER
"You better watch out," Ashcroft told the children of the world at the press conference. "Ashcroft is going to spy. He will look all about. I'm telling you why —
because John Ashcroft is bringing you down."
Ashcroft
"He's checking your e-mail" Ashcroft
added. "In fact, he's checking it twice. Gonna ignore the founding fathers' advice. John Ashcroft is bringing you down."
Asheroft concluded by saying, "He hears you with wire tapping. He knows if you're using the First Amendment. He knows where you live. So be good for the sake of the government!"
Ashcroft later summarized his main points by saying, "O! You better watch out! Ashcroft is going to spy! He will look all about. I'm telling you why. John Ashcroft is bringing you down!"
CAMPUS
French class surrenders
4041 WESCOE-In a bizarre turn of events, the 2:30-3:20 Intermediate French I class has surrendered.
"I was just walking in there to ask for an extra desk," said German teacher Gunther Fritz, "and they immediately hit the deck and surrendered. I wasn't sure what to do, so I accepted."
This French surrender follows a long tradition of capitulation that follows the paths of Napoleon in 1815, The Franco-Prussian War, World War II—and who can forget Dien Bien Phu in 1954.
The German department now plans to colonize the new room with the French students waiting on them each day and bringing them food and drinks.
There are few fears of a resistance because there is nowhere to hide in the room.
A few students, though, escaped to the English class across the hall. They vow to return.
The German class isn't worried. There are no American classes here to help.
The report, issued by the Committee Having Reports Issued and Subsequently Trashed (CHRIST), notes that unkempt beads, long stringy hair and noticeable ribs have become increasingly popular with the college crowd.
Adrian Zink
"Dude, the Buddha look is so last year," said Casey Samms, Liberal sophomore. "I'm so totally stoked. Now people won't make fun of me for wearing my hemp sandals all year."
New study: 60% of college men prefer "Jesus-look" over other resemblances
A new study finds that most college men prefer the "Jesus look" over other god-like styles.
Second place went to the multiarmed Shiva look, while Zoroaster of the Zoroastrian religion rounded out the top three.

Friends By: Rupal Gor beyond letters
One of the most common judgments made about the greek community is that Greeks do not have friends outside of their fraternities or sororities. However, that is not true.
Most of my closest friends live outside of the greek community. I know other people in the greek community in the same position as I am. I met many of my girlfriends from the dorms, in classes and through other friends. Living in a sorority this year made it hard to keep in touch as often, but I do hang out with them when it is possible.
For some friends, distance has come in the way. For others, distance does not bother us and we still remain close.
I have been accused of spending all my time with my sorority. Of course I do live there and usually a person eats, sleeps,and does homework at a place where he or she lives.
It is true that I made friends with many women in my sorority. This is an opportunity to make friends with women who are similar to me but most importantly women who are completely opposite. Every person offers something unique to our friendship.
When I go out, I always see people that I know or am friends with. I also meet different people without having to worry about the word "sorority" printed across my forehead, because I am open to being friends with anyone. Non-greeks typically feel that sorority or fraternity members do not associate themselves with others. Having that stereotype draws greeks to believe they are disliked.
If anything, people who live in the dorms or apartments tend to hang out with the people living near them because of proximity. That is how it is in a sorority or fraternity. We all become friends with people we normally would not be friends with.
Attending a university allows people to choose their friends with freedom. The greek community does not lock people in; the community allows, rather than forces, people to become friends with others.
People naturally make friends with people they are compatible with. They are not forced to make certain friends or to stay away from particular people. The greek community is not a system that assigns people to hang out with each other. If it happens,it happens. But that does not prevent greeks from being friends with anyone they desire.
To the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon: Congratulations on Rock Chalk Revue. We look forward to working with you.
love, Kappa Delta

Pillow Fights?...Not so Much
By Liz Nartowicz
Certain words carry certain images. Sorority for instance, automatically brings the image of a dumb blonde or a caddy snob. This astounds me because it could not be further from the truth. A sorority is not an excuse to party or exclude others. It is about sisterhood, bonding and growing. I find it disgusting that perverted men's fantasies are hitting the screen, mixed with bitter tales from bitter women who regret not experiencing the sisterhood, could taint the reputation of such a beneficial institute. However, I find it more disgusting that people actually believe the stereotypes. I mean honestly, who believes women simply lounge around in their panties waiting for a pillow fight to break out? Take it from me, a real woman in a real chapter, and not some paid actress for MTV (hate to break your hearts but it's true, Sorority Life is fake) none of the following stereotypes are true.
The Dumb Blonde Syndrome: First of all, we are not all blondes, and we definitely do not lack intelligence. Some of the brightest and most remarkable women take part in the greek community. Perhaps this is due to the fact that sororities are based on excellence and not senselessness. Each chapter places great importance on academia, setting an accumulative G.P.A. that must be met not only to become a member, but to remain a member. I personally know that if my G.P.A. were to fall, I could easily raise it with the help of my sisters because academics are important not only to me, but to the entire greek community.
Daddy Warbuck's Daughter: People assume that because I am in a sorority I have loads money and that dear old daddy pays for everything. Hardly! Currently, I have a student loan and am working a part-time job to make ends meet. Money is a luxury for few of us, but that does not make it a deterrent. Imagine how many of us would be here on campus right now if money actually hampered one's goal for excellence. Some might say that tuition alone is enough and that sorority dues should not be imposed at all, but let's get real: everything has its costs. It's the real world and isn't that what college is suppose to be preparing us for? A sorority, just like college, is simply helping us prepare for the real world.
Naughty Notions: For some reason, people like to assume that the only thing we care about is beer and boys, and all we do is party. WRONG! Just because you are in a chapter does not mean you've been on "Girls Gone Wild." In fact, you're probably less likely to be so. Sororities know how tempting it is to skip class and go out or sleep in, and that is why standards are important. Each chapter holds each woman to their own personal standards, helping each woman stay on the right track and not make a fool of herself like we've all seen at least twenty freshmen girls do at "The Hawk" so far this year.
The Snobby Sister: Many times I have heard people say how self-centered sorority women are, and all I can think is, "Are you kidding me?" Women of every chapter devote themselves to the community and their fellow sisters everyday. We donate time, money, materials to those who need it, and continuously work on supporting our own philanthropy as well other chapters'. Plus, when we're not helping the community, we're helping each other, with life's problems or a studying for a biology test.
Sorority girls are hot: First of all, we are not girls we are women, and appearance has nothing to do with sisterhood. There's no requirement on hair color, weight or height. Sororities have this misconception of being shallow which is the farthest from the truth. I know I can walk into my chapter any day with my pajamas, no make-up, and hair pulled back and still be loved.
3
The Cookie Cutter Cult: In my short experience at KU I have learned that each chapter is a harmonious blend of women. Not one can be labeled as a certain type of chapter or women. Any type of personality you can imagine, you can find in each house: the quite, the shy,the out-going,the sporty,the artistic, any! That is the beauty of a sorority. It encourages and cultivates differences among its sisters, cherishing everyone's individuality.

Junior greek council: making a difference
By Haley Harrison
The newest members of the greek community have begun to leave their mark on the campus and within Douglas County. The enthusiasm of many new members has lead to participation in various philanthropic events. This fall, with the help of the junior Greek council and the Ballard Community Center, new member classes will be bringing aid to families in need this holiday season.
The junior greek council brings in two to three members from each new member class. This year, each chapter is represented on the council, with the exception of two fraternities. Facilitators Julie Chonko, Kappa Kappa Gamma senior, and Billy Short, Phi Delta Theta senior, kicked off the new year with weekly meetings. Soon, elected officers took charge. The council was designed to instill unity throughout the new member classes and promote community service through philanthropic events.
"Junior greek council is so important because it gives new members a voice in the greek community," Chonko said. "It is also a key program in that it is a way for the future leaders in the new member classes to start to get involved in the greek community, as well as the KU campus and Lawrence community." In the past, the council has hosted events such as "NCAA for a day" and various canned food drives. This holiday season, the council has elected to adopt families.
"Junior greek council is so important because it gives new members a voice in the greek community," -Julie Chonko
"With something like this, we have the power to go out and make a difference," said
Marynell Jones, Kappa Alpha Theta and member of the council.
For this event, sorority and fraternity new member classes are broken into seven groups of four. Each group is assigned a family to purchase gifts and necessities for. Each individual group decides what to put in the baskets; however, winter weather items such as gloves and scarves, as well as food and other gifts are suggested. A total of eight Douglas County families will benefit from the philanthropy.
Since every member of Zeta Tau Alpha is considered a new member, each one of the 170 new members will participate in the event. Their group, which includes new member from Phi Kappa Psi, Pi Beta Phi and Fiji, will adopt two families. The junior greek council will deliver the baskets at the end of the semester, just in time for the holiday season.

Greek endeavor is a huge success
By Katie Ibsen
The 2002 Greek Endeavor program was conducted over the weekend of November 9, 2002; as 105 greek affiliated new members joined forces at Camp Chihowa outside of Lawrence, on how to drop stereotypes regarding chapters on the University of Kansas.
The program lasted a day and a half with speakers such as Vice Provost Dr. Barbara Ballard, Coordinator of Leadership Development Programs Ruben Perez, Student Body President John Ng, and Director of Greek Programs Angie Carr; all of which provided inspiration to create a positive greek community for an outstanding university.

Participants gained the knowledge of leadership skills to use within their chapters. Skills
such as building relationships, creating a positive greek community that carries a good reputation, and never letting go of the sight that a community with cooperation, goals, and team work is powerful and successful.
"I think not knowing what chapter people were from helped me meet all kinds of individuals," said Micaela Hill, Kappa Delta freshman.
As well as inspirational speakers, participants worked together on leadership activities learning of their hidden meaning and how the same ideals can be used within a chapter, or an outreach project.
Julie Chonko, Vice President of Interfraternal Relations said," the greatest thing is how new members come in not knowing what to expect, and leave with friendships from every chapter."
Programs such as Greek Endeavor are a starting point for students who are involved in the greek community at the University of Kansas, to breakdown stereotypes by working together, share that knowledge with their chapter and others, and make the community even stronger.
"The program is one of the best things for new members to drop stereotypes and meet friends that they will continue to know and work with in the greek community," said Director of Greek Endeavor, Jessica Mace.
Greek Endeavor has been giving the opportunity for new members to learn for about five years now. This and other programs are offered on and off campus. For more information visit the Organizations and Leadership office in the Kansas Union.

WANTED: who is in
Ten living organizations were selected on Monday, Nov. 25 to participate in this year's Rock Chalk Revue.
Five pairs of greek chapters were chosen from 13 groups that submitted notebooks on Nov.8. Beta Theta Pi and Delta Delta Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha and Alpha Gamma Delta, Pi Kappa Phi and Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Nu and Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Sigma Phi Epsilon and Kappa Delta were the groups selected.
"We were confident that our show would do well, but you can never tell what will happen," Matthew Allen, Pi Kappa Phi Director, said. "We worked really hard and our oral interviews went really well."
Organizations auditioning for the show were required to participate in oral interviews as well as compile a notebook. The notebooks consist of everything included in the show from lighting to character profiles.
A panel of 15 judges had the final say in who made the cut.
"Most of the judges have a strong theater background and have been involved with Rock Chalk before," Amy Lee, Executive Director, said. "They have also all been disaffiliated with KU for at least five years."

and who is out
TOMMY HALYD
Lee said that having 13 group submit notebooks was impressive.
"It's sad that eight groups can't move forward with their shows, but only five can be in the final show," Lee said. "Any one of the shows could have easily been on stage."
With Rock Chalk Revue scheduled for March 6,7,and 8,the next step is auditions and rehearsals,Allen said.
"Next we'll cast our show," Allen said. "There will probably be 50 people total,25 Pi Phis and 25 Pi Kaps. Then when we get back from winter break, rehearsals will start."
Overall, Lee said she was happy with the way things worked out this year.
"All the groups took things up a notch this year," Lee said. "It was a tough decision to just pick five, but I'm happen with the way everything turned out."

Pizza hunger benefits
By Kathy Vitale
November 4th marked the beginning of the first annual Wheel pizza philanthropy, sponsored by the women of Delta Delta Delta. The Wheel Pizza Company helped make the event a success: "Make your Meal at the Wheel",a pizza eating contest, which benefits St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, kicked off to a steady start. The winner of the fraternity and sorority, who had eaten the most pizza, would win a free party bus rental for one night.
Fraternities, sororities, and the public participated by buying slices of pizza. Jackie Smid, Delta Delta Delta's philanthropy chair said, "our goal was to get as many people involved i the greek comunity and outside the community to all help one great cause." Each slice of pizza would give twenty-five cents to St. Jude's Research Hospital.
During the week long event, the members of Delta Delta Delta kept tallies to record how many slices of pizza were purchased. The winning soririty, Alpha Gamma Delta and winning fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, were among the many that participated in the philanthropy. Overall, thir hunger for competition kept their pizza-eating totals above other greek houses.
New members already making a difference
The Panhellenic Association brought almost all of the 2002 recruited new members, including the members of newly founded Zeta Tau Alpha to the Union for philanthropy projects on Nov. 18th. New members were divided into groups with other members from different chapters and worked on several tasks."Last semester the new member educators gathered and decided to hold a new member event, so we decided to do a community service wide project where there would be opportunities for discussion about Greek community, Panhellenic, and new member issues," said Kendra Buscho, Alpha Chi Omega VP of Education.
By Lindsey Woerther
The event also encouraged new members to develop friendships outside of their chapters. "I met so many women through recruitment, and it was fun to reunite with them and see how they were doing," said Kasi Voorhis, Alpha Chi Omega freshman.
Participants painted wooden toys and decorated cookies while making holiday cards for area children. The women dropped off can donations at the door and had a chance to make ocular covers for children's vision tests. New members also pinned pink ribbons to cards for Breast Cancer Awareness. Charities that benefited from the projects were the Boys and Girls Club, the Salvation Army, Ronald McDonald house, Center for Community Outreach, and local Lawrence Schools. "I'm glad that I could put my time toward helping those less fortunate," said Kaitlin Stout, Kappa Kappa Gamma freshman. "It's neat to see so many people coming together for the same cause." New members jumped at the chance to help out and give a few hours for charity.
The evening's success created a good foundation to build on in the future. "Overall, I think it was a good idea," said Amanda Lee, Sigma Kappa freshman. "They should do it again next year because it's a great way for new members to find out about philanthropies they might not have otherwise known about."

ABA steps up to the plate
By Erin May
While you may have not heard of the Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity, several students are associated with it. The group is relatively new on campus but is working to make a positive name for itself in both the campus and the community.
Despite the fact that members call their group the Asian Brother Association, or ABA, members say that it is an interest group for the Asian culture based fraternity, Lambda Phi Epsilon. Instead of only allowing members of Asian descent, the group wants to be associated with "brothers interested in increasing their knowledge of the Asian culture," as their website, www.ku.edu/aba4life, states.
Throughout the year, the ABA participates in various fundraising and community service events. So far this year they have helped volunteer at Late Night with Roy Williams, Salvation Army, and various other groups. One large event the group held was a party at the Granada on November 16, for possible future members to attend. They have also taken several road trips to different schools to interact with other Asian groups across the country.
Lambda Phi Epsilon will have to apply for a bid to become a nationally recognized fraternity.
The ABA has over 20 members, including president Eddie Ham and Vice President Hoag Nguyen. The group meets every Monday at 9 p.m.on the $3^{rd}$ floor of the Kansas Union in Alcove D.

Twas the night before Chirstmas...By Chad W. Sclove

Twas the night before finals. And all through the college The students were praying For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy. But none touched their beds While visions of essays Danced in their heads.
Out in the taverns,
A few were still drinking.
And hoping that liquor
Would loosen up their thinking.
In my own apartment. I had been pacing And dreading exams I soon would be facing.
.
My roommate was speechless,
His nose in his books.
And my comments to him
Drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee,
And brewed a new pot.
No longer caring
That my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes,
But my thoughts were muddy,
My eyes went abur,
I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help," I said with a shiver, But each place I called Refused to deliver.
---
---
---
I'd nearly concluded That life was too cruel. With futures depending On grades had in school.
When all of a sudden. Our door opened wide. And Patron Saint Put It Off Ambled inside.
His spirit was careless. His manner was mellow He started to bellow:
"What kind of student Would make such a fuss, To toss back at teachers What they tossed at us?" "On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes! On last year's exams! On Wingit and Slingit, And last minute crams!"
---
His message delivered. He vanished from sight But we heard him laughing Outside in the night.
"Your teachers have pegged you, So just do your best. Happy Finals to All And to All,a good test."
To
Samantha Horner, Jaclyn Binder, Catie Muller, and the women of Gamma Phi Beta:
We would like to thank all of you for your hard work this year; we couldn't have asked for a better partner. You were all fantastic to work with, and we had a damn good time.

These quick snapshots allow people to get to know one another, and maybe even find a new friend. You will have to see who the lucky three will be in the next issue.

Dad's Day
“My first impression of sorority girls in college was from the movie ‘Animal House.’ Once my daughter joined a sorority, I realized how much more respect these women deserve. Through joining a sorority, these women have learned to support and encourage each other and have developed strong friendships in the process.”
- Brian Pyle, father of Kellie Pyle
“I guess I thought all college kids studied till 10 p.m. then went to bed at 10:30 p.m., NOT!”
