KU student rolls truck near home; wreck fatal
By Erin Ohm eohm@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The friendly smile of Joseph "Joe" Niehues Jr. is what friends and family will miss most about the University of Kansas freshman.
Nichues, 18, died in a car accident Jan. 1 when his truck drifted into a ditch and rolled several times.
Kansas Highway Patrol officials said the accident had happened about two miles south of his hometown, Corning, on Highway 63.
Nichues was traveling alone when the accident occurred.
Joseph Niehues Sr. said his son loved to work on cars, and his dream was to design cars for NASCAR. Niehues was a mechanical engineering major.

Niehues' mother,
Judy Niehues, said he loved to tinker with his 1991 Dodge Ram,
which he was driving at the time of the accident.
He also enjoyed hunting and fishing.
his mother said.
One of Niehues' outstanding characteristics was his smile.
"He pretty much had a smile for every one. It didn't matter who you were or what you were," she said. "He could relate and hold a conversation with about anybody."
Ronald Dougherty, chairman of mechanical engineering, taught Niehues in an introductory engineering class. Dougherty said Niehues was friendly and helpful in class.
"He was easy to get to know. I think that's what people will miss," he said.
"He was outstanding from a person point of view. He was someone people can say, 'I'd be happy to know him.'"
Dougherty said Niehues had been a solid student had always sat in the front row wearing a backward baseball cap.
At more than 6 feet 5 inches tall, Judy said Niehues sat in the front row because he wouldn't have room for his long legs otherwise.
Anthony Evgenidis, a Manhattan, N.Y., freshman and Niehues' roommate, said everyone knew Niehues by his size and baseball cap.
"Of everything I can think of to blame for what happened, it's just something Joe would say, 'Don't worry about it, Mom,'" she said.
"Everyone would see a big, tall kid walking around with an orange cap and say 'That's Big Joe.'" he said.
Niehues' mother said he was laid back and didn't let much bother him.

Textbook prices send KU students searching for bargains

Because Squyres, Topeka junior and Student Union Activities employee, works at the Kansas Union for more than 10 hours a week, the Union will refund the money she spent on books for this semester.
For students without free textbooks, the beginning of the semester can frustrating and expensive.

Paul Shoulberg, Lawrence senior, said he had spent about $360 at the Kansas Union Bookstore on books for his film classes.
"One book was $80 for 100 pages, and it's paperback," he said.
Competition between campus and off-campus bookstores can create a
range of prices.
Peter Doddema, textbook manager at University Book Shop, 1116 W.23rd St., said textbook pricing followed a formula.
The publisher sets a recommended selling price for the book and then sells the books to the stores at a discount, which is usually 20 or 25 percent for books labeled "textbooks." Individual stores then mark up the book's price within the 20 or 25 percent margin;

University supports new MRC

Just as construction crews leave the area north of the Kansas Union, a new Multicultural Resource Center may bring them back to break fresh ground.
KU officials and the Kansas University Endowment Association endorsed a new MRC estimated at $2.5 million that Student Body President Jonathan Ng and other Senate members had proposed
during winter break.
The current center stands as an island surrounded by parking lots and sandwiched between Summerfield Hall and the Military Science Building. And though it is centrally located on campus, no one knows where it is, Ng said.
"It's a grand idea," Provost David Shuilenburger said. "We certainly need a better facility than what we have now."
He said the demolition of the current structure was long overdue. Moving the center or renovating the current building
is necessary to have effective programming. Ng said.
The current MRC was established in 1995 in the building formerly known as the Military Sciences Annex. It holds offices, two meeting rooms and a small computer lab to meet the needs of campus organizations such as the stEp Program and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization. These organizations as well as classes and inhouse programs have pressed the center
Santos Núñez, MRC program director, said a more visible and accessible facility would help the MRC expand and improve.
"It sometimes becomes difficult to provide the adequate programming requested by the KU community due to space or location issues," Nunéz said.
The new location is necessary, Ng said.
"In order to improve upon the current programming, you had to have a new

Some students are still supporting the store. Sara Klassen, Louisburg sophomore, searched for bargains at the discount retailer Wednesday.
Lawrence shoppers might soon have one less option.
Kmart announced Tuesday that Lawrence's store at 3106 Iowa St. was one of the 326 stores the business planned to close, pending a Jan. 28 bankruptcy hearing.
"My mom taught me to check everywhere for the best price, so I look everywhere," she said. "I like the store. It's not crowded, it's kept clean, and I've found a bunch of cute clothes for my niece."
But other students have given up on Kmart. Jessica Bush, Tula, Okla., senior, hasn't scoured the racks at Kmart since moving to Lawrence.
"I actually thought it was already closed," she said. "Everybody else seems to hate it." "I like the store (Kmart). It's not crowded, it's
The store, which opened in October 1974, has faced competition from other nearby discount stores such as SuperTarget, 3201 Iowa St., and Wal-Mart. Sara Klassen 3300 Iowa St. Louisburg sophomore kept clean, and I've found a bunch of cute clothes for my niece."
"it's hard to resuscitate an image when you become the butt of jokes," he said.
sor of business, said the competition was a factor in the planned closing but was merely a step in the domino effect. As a business professor, Barker said he had been paying close attention to Kmart's bankruptcy.
For those who continue to support Kmart. Barker said the company might not be able to bounce back.

"The store's top management decided a decade ago to invest in more specialty stores, such as Borders bookstore, and ignored the diverse product line that made Kmart popular," he said.
Barker said the closing of the Lawrence store was one wave of down-sizing in a series.
"Kmart is like an ice cube in a bowl of warm water—it will continue to shrink until it fades away," he said.
"They tried to upgrade their advertising and products, but by then it was too late," Barker said. "They had built up enough debt that they weakened their ability to refurbish the stores and invest in new technology. That caused the store's image to suffer, so they made even less money."
Barker said by the time the company abandoned the speciality businesses it had lost its ability to compete.
The Smart Distribution Center. 2400 Kresse Road, will remain open for now.

John Rose, manager of the Lawrence Kmart, said employees weren't allowed to comment on the possible closing.
According to a representative of Grubb & Ellis/The Winbury Group, a local commercial real estate company, Rubenstein Real Estate owns the property. Employees of Rubenstein, who were unavailable for comment, have been anticipating the closing since buying the property in July, said the representative. Though no possible replacement had been announced as of yesterday, Rubenstein representatives said they would continue to examine all options.

University starts search for new band director
The University of Kansas is conducting a national search for a director of the Marching Jayhawks to replace Timothy Oliver, who will resign as director of athletic bands and assistant director of bands at the end of the Spring 2003 semester.
The position begins Aug. 10 and lasts nine months.
The University formed a search committee and is now advertising the position. The application deadline is Feb. 7. The University will conduct interviews in March, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.
The director of athletic bands and assistant director of bands is responsible for directing the Marching Jayhawks, conducting the University Band and overseeing the basketball and volleyball bands.

Groups protest war with downtown march
The Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice and the Black Cat Collective will demonstrate at a peace rally Saturday protesting the possible war with Iraq.
The Black Cat Collective will leave South Park, 11th and Massachusetts streets, at 11:30 a.m. to march down Massachusetts Street to join the noon rally at the Douglas County Courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts streets.
Peace groups around the country will protest Saturday. Some of the largest demonstrations will be in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.
Saturday's rally is the nineteenth consecutive Lawrence Saturday noon rally. It will represent Lawrence's involvement in the nationwide demonstrations.
"Public opinion in the U.S. is turning more and more against the prospect of war," said Allan Hanson, the coalition's coordinator, "and it's important for the people to keep up the pressure by turning out in large numbers this Saturday in Lawrence and across the country."

STATE
Sebelius' proposed budget spares education funding
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius presented her proposed budget in the State of the State address last night.
Sebelius proposed to protect higher education in the state from further cuts. The protection comes at the price of cities, counties and highways.
The budget does not reduce current education funding. In her speech, Sebelius repeated her promise to not cut education funding even in the current financial strain of Kansas.
Students leaders at the University of Kansas were glad to see Sebelius keep her campaign promise.
"I'm excited she kept her promise," said Johanna Maska, Student Legislative Awareness Board's Legislative Director. "We couldn't afford anymore."
Maska said she didn't think that Sebelius was going to be able to protect higher education but was pleased with the speech's message.
Student body president Jonathan Ng said the proposed budget was a definite positive for students at the University.

"It is an important victory for students," Ng said. "With the tuition increase going toward enhancement, this means tuition won't have to be used to make up for the loss of money."
Soldiers at Fort Riley prepare for deployment
JUNCTION CITY About 200 active duty soldiers at Fort Riley have received orders to prepare for the possibility of deployment in the war on terrorism.
The deployment would be the largest from the base since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. National Guard soldiers were expected to arrive at the base to back up those leaving, said Christie Vanover, a spokeswoman for Fort Riley.
Vanover said security concerns prevented her from revealing any details about the deployment, including when the soldiers were leaving and where they were going.

Colony meets goals, set to receive its sorority charter in March
Andy Samuelson/Kansan
Maggie Iacobazzi, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior, picks up a recruiting brochure from ZTA sorority members Tuesday in the Kansas Union. ZTA began recruiting back in the fall, but will not become an officially chartered sorority until later this spring.

Zeta Tau Alpha sorority is set to become the newest sorority chapter at the University of Kansas.
Although the organization has been functioning as a sorority by holding chapter meetings and elections, it will not be made official until the Zeta Tau Alpha National Headquarters grants it a charter later this semester. The charter will make it the Kappa Sigma chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha and the 14th sorority at the University.
Julia Hill, national president of the sorority, said the group should have everything accomplished by March in order to receive its charter.
When the charter is granted, more than 140 current members and new recruits will be initiated during a weekend installation event at the University.
Currently, the organization is a colony. As a colony, the organization is working toward receiving its charter, said Angie Carr, coordinator of fraternity and sorority life at the University.
To make the transition from a colony to a chapter, the members
must meet goals set by the sorority's national headquarters.
The organization's goals require its members to get acquainted with the fundamentals of the sorority and its background, much like new members of the University's 13 established sororities.
"We have been learning where we were formed, our creed and basic things like that," said Jennifer Hull, Emporia senior and colony member.
During this learning process, local Zeta Tau Alpha chapters at Washburn University in Topeka, Baker University in Baldwin City
and Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Mo., have aided the colony in reaching its goals. National representatives of the sorority have visited to give their support.
"We're not completely on our own yet. We have had a lot of help," said Sheila Sudbeck, Seneca freshman and colony member.
The group is trying one more recruitment effort during new student orientation to get a larger group of upperclasswomen involved.
University shifts funds in-state for Kansas merit scholarships
- Edited by Anne Mantey
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Incoming out-of-state National Merit Scholars will no longer receive the same scholarships as in-state merit scholars next fall.
Merit scholars at the University of Kansas currently receive full-ride scholarships that include 15 credit hours of tuition per semester plus room and board in a scholarship hall. For out-of-state merit scholars, the amount is about $14,000, and for Kansas merit scholars it is about $6,800. The University began offering full-ride scholarships to all merit scholars in 1999.
Incoming freshmen out-of-state merit scholars are now competing for scholarships with all other out-of-state appl-
cants. In-state merit scholars will still receive a merit scholarship.
Lisa Pinamonti, interim director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said the change came from expenses involved in supporting out-of-state merit scholars and the need for academic scholarships for Kansas students who receive other awards.
"We can't afford to give the current package anymore," Pinamonti said. "More students are staying in Kansas for school and we want to offer more money to these students."
The change has allowed the office to increase the amount of other scholarships to Kansas students.
good to know that in-state students are becoming a priority.
"It's a good direction for scholarships to go," Jennifer Anderson, Wichita junior, said. "KU is a state school, and it's
Out-of-state merit scholars say the shift will make it difficult to attract new out-of-state scholars.
Erin Beck, Security, Colo., senior, said without her merit scholarship, she wouldn't have attended the University.
"It made KU an option for me because I couldn't have afforded KU without a significant scholarship," she said.
The out-of-state merit scholars currently enrolled will continue to receive their scholarships. There are about 200 out-of-state merit scholars at the University. The change in awarding starts with freshmen entering the University in Fall 2003.

Committees meet, discuss plans for new women's scholarship hall
By Cal Creek
ccreek@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Two groups that once clashed over the razing of three houses in the 1300 block of Ohio Street will now work together to determine the future of the now empty lot.
The Community Advisory Committee met yesterday with the Building Committee to discuss plans for a new scholarship hall at the site.
"The University wants to be sure the neighborhood has a voice in the construction of this hall," said Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor.
The Community Advisory Committee is made up of a chairperson, representatives from the Lawrence Historic Commission and the Campus Historic Preservation Board, a Lawrence Preservation Alliance representative, a
student representative and a liaison between the campus, University administration and the community.
Candice Davis, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association and committee member, said she hoped the new hall will blend in architecturally with the other houses in the neighborhood.
"We don't want to see the rest of our neighborhood taken block-by-block," Davis said. "I'm hoping both committees will work together and be receptive to each other's ideas."
The building, which will house 50 female students, will remain unnamed until its donor is announced later this spring. The project has a budget of $3 million and will be completed July 2005.
Treanor Architects, a firm with experience in student housing and historic sensitivities, will design the hall.
Vance Kelley, KU graduate and Treanor architect, serves as a design consultant and the chairman of the Community Advisory Committee. Kelley has experience and interest in historical preservation, one of the primary concerns of the committee.
The group will serve as advisors to the designers and will stress the importance of architectural compatibility in the Oread Neighborhood.
While the committees have a general idea of what the inside will look like, the exterior remains a blank slate.
"This is not a project anybody is going to rush." Weinberg said.
The community advisory committee will meet again at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday at Mrs.E's. The building committee will meet at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

Kyou portal will simplify Web hassles
The University of Kansas has long had the goal of joining other universities in updated enrollment systems. First came online Time tables. Now Kyou, a Web portal, is the next small step toward complete and convenient online enrollment set to begin this spring. Long lines in Strong Hall will be a tradition the University is happy to retire.
Kyou was started at the end of last semester. It is accessible through an icon on the University's home page. The site provides students with links to Webmail, class schedules, grades, Academic Record Tracking System forms, the Timetable, financial aid information and a new digital library.
Ideally, students will log in only once to access all of their information. Students currently have to log in after clicking on each link, but this portal is just the first step. Julie Loats, Web administrator, said student suggestions would improve the site. Any glitches could be wiped out by the time online enrollment is implemented.
Students can now access services online 24 hours a day, which were only available during office hours.
Kyou makes students' lives easier. The portal combines important links for students in one site. Students can access useful information in one stop. This site is the first step, which will ultimately lead to online enrollment in the spring. These services are comprehensive, cost-efficient and convenient. Every student should test this new service and give the administration some feedback for future installments.
Online enrollment is a reality that Kyou has made less daunting.

Granted, it was me raving about how much I liked the food at Chick-fil-A, but I still felt like a celebrity.
For instance, "Heard on the Hill" is a feature in the Kansan that showcases students' opinions alongside their pictures. We ask students what they think about topics ranging from politics to their favorite CDs. This isn't a new feature, but readers will see it more often. It will appear weekly in Jayplay, our entertainment section, which appears Thursdays, and it will be in the news section more regularly.
Now that I'm editor of the Kansan, I realize that sense of fame is a major function of newspapers. Reporting news accurately and fairly is important, but so is representing the community the newspaper serves. If the Kansan is going to be truly representative of its readers, everyone at this university should make it into this paper before they graduate. That's why I want to make it the Kansan's goal this semester to get as many students into the paper as possible. To achieve this goal, we're making changes in our coverage.

One out of every 60 students is a student athlete, but about one out of every five students participates in intramural and club sports. Kansan sports pages of the past plastered with stories about football and basketball have not reflected this, but that's changing this semester. One of our sportswriters will write exclusively about intramural and club sports, so readers can expect to see more stories about the sports they participate in.
The Kansan staff can do only so much to get everyone into the paper. That's why we try to make it easy for students. For example, every day on Page 2A,we
But as the saying goes, some things never change. That's why we're keeping "Faces in the Crowd." Each week, Kansan staff writer Megan Hickerson will randomly select a student and tell his story.

have a feature called "Camera on KU." We want students to submit their pictures, along with information about them, to Aaron Showalter, photo editor, in the Kansan newsroom, 111 Stauffer-Flint. Then everyone on campus can see what you do when you're not in class.
With almost 30,000 students at KU, there are likely to be more opinions than the 10 people on the editorial board can come up with. Tell us what you think and what we can do better. Submit a guest column or a letter to the editor to Amanda Sears, opinion editor, at asears@kansan.com.
Then, of course, there's Free for All. It's taught us that Mizzou sucks and some people think hippies are dirty. But there's more to say than that. This semester we will break the monotony of Free for All. Look for new themes like haiku contests, favorite song lyrics and favorite movie quotes. We'll even put your singing voices on the Internet for all to hear.
So, whether it's singing your favorite tune or submitting a photo of you and your friends, we want it. This paper is made by KU students for KU students and we want to give you as many student perspectives as possible.

GUEST COMMENTARY
The point is, the opinion page has the opportunity to be ar, agent for change on
campus, to push the student body into action and to make this university meet its needs. And that can't happen without your participation in a dialogue about what those needs are.
This semester's opinion staff will facilitate this dialogue by analyzing issues relevant to you and offering realistic solutions or courses of action to problems affecting your lives. We've already made changes to the page to better address the diverse interests of the student body.
The new editorial board members come from a range of schools, programs and majors to reflect the perspectives of nonjournalism majors. We will feature columns from graduate students, international students and students studying abroad, as well as the opinions of students from the University of Kansas Medical Center and KU's School of Law.
Daily political cartoons by your peers will address campus issues and broader issues from a student perspective in addition to tackling many of the same issues presented in columns and editorials.
We're changing the layout of the page and making editorials and columns shorter to make room for more Free for All comments. We know you're reading it. And calling it—a lot. Look for weekly topics to call in about. Your opinions will run—anonymously, of course—on Fridays.
Though these changes will help serve you better, we can't do it alone. We want to push the envelope and get you off your butts. Don't sit around complaining to your roommates about the powdered soap in Budig Hall or that all the copies of The New York Times are gone from the Kansas Union by the time you get to campus. Write us, call us, e-mail us, or walk into the newsroom. You can change your environment for the better.
But we can't stop there.
That's what the Kansan's opinion page is here for.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
Newsoftware schedules smokes
By Eddie Yang
eyang@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
If your New Year's resolution is to quit smoking, a PalmPilot might be able to help control nicotine urges — along with your daily appointments.
Researchers at the University of Kansas are developing software to be used in personal data assistants that will put smokers on a reduced smoking schedule prior to quitting.
With two separate grants totaling $142,285 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, James Grobe, assistant professor of psychology, and Delwyn Catley, assistant professor of preventative medicine and public health at the KU Medical Center, are conducting a study with 25 smokers in the Lawrence area. The smokers are given PalmPilots with software that tells them when they can smoke.
"We have some situations where people can smoke when they want, and they record their smoking," said Grobe. "We have
other situations where the computer is going to beep them and tell them when to smoke."
Grobe says one reason the scheduled smoking routine is successful is it disrupts old habits and forces smokers to develop coping skills.
"If you typically smoke with coffee, the computer may not schedule the cigarette with coffee. That forces you then to cope with the situation," he said.
The technique also works because it makes cigarettes less pleasurable when smokers are alerted to smoke when they don't want to smoke. Grobe says.
Following a smoking schedule also increases the confidence of a smoker in the ability to quit. The schedule also allows smokers to experience minimal withdrawal symptoms and stress.
Grobe has applied for a $750,000 grant from National Institute of Health to develop better software.
Currently Grobe said he and his colleagues were more concerned with determining the basic science behind the reduced
smoking schedule.
Grobe's software will not be ready to enter the market for a few years.
"There are existing products on the market, but we're trying to figure how this works so we can better design it." he said.
Damon Parker, Lawrence resident and former smoker, said the program seemed impractical.
"I would suggest using the patch to quit smoking," said Parker. "I went on it for a week and never looked back.
Though research has shown success in the reduced smoking schedule technique, Grobe said, it isn't for all smokers.
Grobe agrees that different approaches can be effective for different people.
"Don't give up if one approach doesn't work," Grobe said. "Try them and see which works best for you, and then go with that one. And by doing that choice procedure,you actually increase the overall chance of success."

Kyou connects Web site services
By Vonna Keomanyvong
vkeomanyvong@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new service gives KU students and faculty a one-stop spot on the Internet.
Two months ago, the University put up a prototype of Kyou, a Web portal that would allow students and faculty to access e-mail, grades and class schedules by logging in one time at students.ku.edu.
The difference between a portal and a Web site is that a portal
recognizes users when they log in and a Web site only includes information or links.
Although the final version will not be up until Summer or Fall 2003, the prototype was released early so students and faculty could comment on what they want to see, said Julie Loats, Web administrator.
"We have so many online services, why not quickly tie those services together?" Loats said.
Kathryn Huxtable, applied programming supervisor, said the finished version would allow students to customize their page to
directly connect to links within the portal.
Ryan King, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, said he visited the site about three times during break to check his grades.
"It's helpful because I didn't know what site to go to look at grades, so I logged into Kyou," he said.
At 3:30 p.m. Feb. 10 and Feb. 11 at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansan Union, KU officials will have an open forum to discuss the portal.

Students buy books online save money while at home
A student without a textbook can feel like a navigator without a map, an archeologist without his tools, President Bush without his speech writer — which makes it frustrating for a student to find an empty shelf at the bookstore where the Anthropology 160 book should be.
More have been ordered, but how many quizzes will the student have to endure before they arrive? Besides, who has time to ping-pong from bookstore to bookstore searching for the elusive text? For students fed up with the book buying experience, shopping for texts online may be a solution.
The Student Senate Book Exchange, has been operating since May 2002, and Scott Roberts, Student Senate Webmaster, said student response had been positive. The site boasts 711 books currently for sale, and 101 books have been sold. The site can be accessed through the University of Kansas' Web site www.ku.edu.
Roberts said the goal of the Web site was for students to be able to cut out the extra costs bookstores include in their prices.
Sellers set their prices somewhere between the buy-back price a bookstore would pay and the used book price a bookstore would charge.
"That way we save money for both the buyer and the seller," Roberts said.
The site seems like a ripe place for people to sell outdated editions to naive, bewildered students, but Roberts said this hadn't been a problem. The site includes links to the Kansas Union Bookstore,

where students can check buyback rates and used-book prices. Students are ultimately responsible for making informed purchases, the site's disclaimer reads.
If a student gets really desperate, he can always visit Amazon.com or the Barnes & Noble Web site, although these online merchants charge a $11.99 next-day delivery plus an additional $2.99 per item, and Varsity-Books.com charges a $10.95 next-day delivery plus 10 percent of the order cost. These sites are good for rare books or if one is bedridden, but otherwise it might be better to suck it up and head to a local bookstore.
The Kansas Union Bookstore, www.jayhawks.com,and University Book Shop,
kansan.com
See how local bookstores compare on kansan.com
www.kubbooks.com, allow students to purchase books online at the same price as the bookstore, which might be the best choice for students who are worried about buying the wrong edition of a book. A menu asks students which department the class is in and which course and then the books for the course are listed.
The student can choose to pick up the texts at the bookstore to avoid shipping costs.
Bill Getz, textbook manager at the Kansas Union Bookstore, said the store has offered texts online for the past two years, but last year an improved system was implemented. He said the problem with Amazon.com and other online bookstores was that they often don't have the capability to serve all students.
"They wouldn't be able to piecemeal together 900 orders," Getz said.
He said nontraditional students and commuters were most likely the biggest online customers. He said parents are other customers who want to buy books for their children but don't want them to have their credit card numbers.
Ultimately, it depends on how much an aversion one has to campus bookstores.
If students are sick of the long lines and narrow book shelves, they can log on to the Student Senate Book Exchange or local bookstore Web sites. If anyone is still looking for Soul Rebels for your Anthropology class, the Student Senate Book Exchange has it for $6.

some stores will sell it for the recommended price.
Discrepancies between stores occur because stores can decide whether to price the book at the high or low end of that margin, Doddma said. Used books are priced at 75 percent of the new book cost, he said.

Sara Echison, Holyrood junior, writes a check for her book purchase at the Kansas Union Bookstore as recent KU alumna Kara VandenBerg waits on her. Students have spent the past few days comparing prices among bookstores.
Publishers' prices serve as the benchmark, Bill Getz, textbook manager at the Kansas Union Bookstore, said.
Bill Muggy, owner of Jayhawk Bookstore, said Getz was basically correct, but being the
"Our prices don't increase. We just follow the publisher's price structure," he said. "But we make sure we don't have the highest prices in town."
"We're more likely to have all the books for a course," he said.
The Burge Union Bookstore, 1601 Irving Hill Road, located just east of Daisy Hill, sells its books at Kansas Union Bookstore prices and serves as its satellite location.
As the University of Kansas' official, or "institutional" bookstore, the Kansas Union Bookstore cannot refuse complicated or costly orders. Getz said.
institutional bookstore didn't guarantee the Union had or could get every book.
"The University makes a point of showing new students the 'official' bookstores on campus as if there were an unofficial bookstore," he said.
Muggy said that since opening the Jayhawk Bookstore on the edge of campus 25 years ago, he often dealt with competitors.
Preordering became a way for him to distinguish his business from nearby stores, Muggy said. Fifteen years ago he began a preordering system that other book-stores nationwide have mirrored.
He said he looked at the fast food industry and tried to incorporate some of its concepts.
"I asked myself, 'How can individuals get information quickly?' You can call in for a pizza — now you can come in and preorder textbooks," he said. "But I haven't taken it to the extent of doing home deliveries."
Doddema said the relationship between bookstores at the University was refreshing because the stores would work with one another to secure books for students.

Theft CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Muggy, owner of the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, has not hired guards to patrol his store.
"I think that their appearance can sometimes be an advantage, but I question their actual effectiveness," Muggy said.
The Kansas Union Booksore has several security cameras, alarm systems and security guards patrolling the entrances exits and store aisles.
Peter Doddema, textbook manager at the University Book Shop, 1116 W.23rd St., said he had dealt with two types of thieves; those who noticed that nobody was watching and took a few books without paying and those who stole as a means of steady income — "career thieves."
Even with increased security measures, sneaky students continue to take risks and steal, Doddema said.
Lawrence businesses often work together to minimize crime in the area. Security cameras and
other technology make it easier for businesses to network and crack down on crime.
"If we suspect a theft has taken place at the bookstore, the chances are pretty good that that same person has stolen from another business nearby," Doddema said. "For instance, we can call Target and compare our security tapes with theirs."
Kansas Union Bookstore plans to continue its heightened security measures.

Evan Stange traveled south for winter break but not with suntan oil or beach blankets in tow.
The Wichita sophomore was one of 70 students involved in the Alternative Winter Break program that traveled to 10 sites for a week of hands-on volunteering.
Stange and six other students worked on a house in Morehead, Ky., for Frontier Housing Inc., an organization similar to Habitat for Humanity that serves seven counties in eastern Kentucky.
The seven volunteers framed the house in four days with the help of a local foreman.
Other students traveled in groups of seven to Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas.

"When we got there, it was all muddy and there was just a foundation." Stange said. "When we left, they were ready to put the roof on."
Students paid $190 to cover transportation, housing and meals for the break. In addition to the fee, students enrolled in "Special Projects in the Community", and earned up to two credit hours.
Classroom instruction was based on information from Break Away, a national organization that provides training and information about alternative breaks. The class covered conflict resolution and first aid in addition to focusing on site-specific social issues.
"We learn about the issues from a global scale down to the town we'll be working in," Rudi Cohn, Alternative Winter Break co-coordinator, said. "Then we find ways to bring it back into the Lawrence community. The group that went to Houston to work with the AIDS Foundation will probably come back and work with the Douglas County AIDS Project."
Each group also participated in a mini-break in the Lawrence area to prepare for its week-long trip.
"During our mini-break, we
worked with an agency similar to the one we'd work with for the week." Jessi Mester, Alternative Breaks co-director, said, "We worked with Lawrence Habitat to learn proper hammering technique and how to make a chalk line."
The Alternative Winter Break program continued its growth spurt with an increase of nine participants from last year, from 61 to 70. The program turned down several applicants for budget reasons.
"We definitely want to make it bigger and go to more sites, but we don't have the funding," Cohn said. "If we were bigger, though, it would be harder to make sure each site was a quality site. The demand is bigger, and we ended up turning away more people than we wanted."

structure," Ng said. "There's an inherent physical need that needs to be there first before you actually improve or expand the current programming."
The proposed 7,000-square-foot building will create more classrooms for the University.
"The vision of the MRC all along has been a resource center for teaching." Shulenburger said, "I'm not sure that it's been fully utilized and don't know what to forecast for it. But we're getting together faculty and department heads to help figure out how to make it a real resource to support the teaching mission of the University."
One of Ng's goals for a new MRC is to ensure KU graduates
leave the University culturally versatile and competent whether that be in the workplace or in the community they live in.
This goal also falls in line with the push to make the University a top25 research institution. To achieve top 25 stature, Ng said, the University needs to become increasingly diverse and reflect the world around and not just the state.
Ng addressed the concern that a new MRC would just be a third union for minority students. He hoped moving the center to the Union would open doors for more student organizations to be able to collaborate and use MRC programs that traditionally do not.
The MRC would continue to serve as a meeting place for minority organizations and students. Rosalba Soto-Gomez,
Topeka freshman, walks to the current MRC once a week for tutoring.
"I think it's good place although sometimes there's too much traffic," she said. Soto-Gomez hikes to the MRC from her residence hall room at GSP-Corbin Hall and would appreciate the shorter walk if the center was constructed by the Union. She has been able to make friends going to the MRC and looks forward to more activity programming.
The next step is finding a donor to fund the project, which the Endowment Association will head.
"You don't find donors unless you go out and hunt for them," Shulenburger said.

Bush says affirmative action flawed
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—President Bush, stepping into a major affirmative action case, asserted yesterday that a program of racial preferences for minority applicants at the University of Michigan was "fundamentally flawed" and unconstitutional.
The program "amounts to a quota system that unfairly rewards or penalizes prospective students solely on their race," Bush said in announcing that his administration would file a legal brief in the case with the Supreme Court on Thursday.
The administration's brief will narrowly apply to the Michigan program, officials said.
Bush's move drew strong criticism from civil rights groups. and Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle called it "a watershed moment for the administration." Before the announcement he said, "They have to decide whether they're for civil rights and diversity or not."
"I strongly support diversity of all kinds, including racial diversity in higher education," Bush said. But he added, "The method used by the University of Michigan to achieve this goal is fundamentally flawed."
He said some students at the university were selected or rejected on the color of their skin. "The motivation for this administration policy may be very good, but the result is discrimination. And that discrimination is very wrong," Bush said.
He spoke in the Roosevelt Room of the White House and declined to take questions.
Bush said "racial prejudice is a reality in our country" but that, in trying to fix the problem, "we must not use means that create another wrong."
The president said Americans should not be satisfied with the current numbers of minorities on college campuses.
"Our government must work to make college more affordable for students who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and because we're committed to racial justice, we must make sure that America's public schools offer a quality
education to every child from every background," Bush said.
The politically charged issue forced the president to balance the desires of his conservative backers, who staunchly oppose affirmative action, against the potential reaction from the broader electorate if he is viewed as being racially insensitive.
Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri, a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, who says he'll seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, plans to file a brief in support of the university's program.
"I believe affirmative action is an essential tool in expanding educational opportunities to minorities," he said.*
Westar Energy faces class-action lawsuit
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - A class-action lawsuit filed yesterday against Westar Energy Inc. charges the company and its top executives with knowingly issuing false and misleading statements about the company's finances.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Topeka, charges that those statements costs hundreds or thousands of people to lose money because Westar securities sold at artificially high prices.
The class represented in the lawsuit includes anyone who bought Westar stock between March 30,2001 and Dec.26, 2002.
The complaint names the company, as well as James Haines.
current director, chief executive officer and president; David Witting, former chairman of the board, CEO and president; James Martin, former senior vice president; and Paul Geist, current senior vice president and chief financial officer.
The suit charges that the defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act by issuing the misleading or false statements involving its dealings with Cleco Corp., and earnings for Protection One, a security alarm firm owned primarily by Westar.
The complaint said the statements artificially inflated the price of Westar's securities, and that each of the defendants knew about the deception.
Calls to the attorneys in Little Rock, Ark., and Kansas City who
filed the lawsuit were not immediately returned Wednesday evening.
A spokeswoman for Westar, Karla Olsen, said the company would have no statement on the lawsuit Wednesday.
Westar announced in December it had received a subpoena from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeking details about its trades with Cleco Corp., a Louisiana utility that acknowledged making inappropriate trades of electrical power.
In November, Cleco said it had made "round trip" transactions, in which a trader buys and sells an energy contract at the same moment for the same price, which can artificially inflate revenue and transaction volumes.
Westar said it was involved in
$19.8 million worth of transactions with Cleco over the past three years, generally as an intermediary.
Westar also announced in November it was restating financial results for the first half of that year, including taking a $93 million charge to correct an accounting error involving Protection One.
The correction increased losses for the first six months of last year from $8.94 a share to $10.31 per share.
Westar is the state's largest electric company, providing service to about 647,000 customers in Kansas. Its non-utility interests include an 88 percent ownership in Protection One, which critics have argued is a drain on Westar's finances.

New NCAA president plans changes
The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Among the changes Myles Brand envisions for the NCAA is having college presidents play a stronger role in their schools' athletic programs.
During the organization's convention that ended Tuesday, the new NCAA president stressed academic reform to ensure that athletes have "the best possible chance" to succeed in college and beyond.
He believes the heads of the colleges and universities have a major responsibility in reaching that and other goals.
"The principle of presidential control is the essential feature of the reform movement," said Brand, the former president at Oregon and Indiana who became the NCAA president on Jan. 1.
"Though pundits, external commissions and study committees may hope to influence the future course of intercollegiate athletics, the fact of the matter is that presidents are best positioned to change their campus's perspectives and behavior."
Brand, the first college president chosen to head the NCAA, proved to be an involved, decisive university administrator when he was at Indiana during the Bob Knight controversy.
Brand fired the volatile basketball college coach 21/2 years ago because, Brand said, Knight, now the head coach at Texas Tech, violated a zero-tolerance policy the university had imposed on him.
"When missteps in athletic programs occur, universities are open to criticism, and the presidents are the ones on the front lines. I know, because I have been there." Brand told about 1,400 NCAA delegates during his "state of the association" speech on Sunday.
"It is presidents who have the ultimate responsibility for setting standards and ensuring that these standards are followed," he added.
The NCAA, long considered a stodgy, slow-moving organization, apparently will be more dynamic under Brand, whose contract runs through 2007.
The emphasis on academics will increase, the backing of gender
equality will continue and there will be a move to increase opportunities for minority coaches with a football "coaches' academy" and mentor program.
Although there was no general voting on issues by Division I delegates at the convention, some of the committees made headway.
Kansas chancellor Bob Hemenway, the chairman of the NCAA directors' committee, said the organization intends to institute the academic reform package - which would include changes in admissions policies for athletes and more timely tracking of their progress in college - as soon as possible without being overly hasty.
"One thing the board feels very strongly about is that any reform is not something that gets put into place in 2008, 2009, 2010," Hemenway said. "We want to, if we think we can, adopt an academic reform package that will have an immediate impact.
"The directive we're on now is that by April of 2004 we (the directors) will have voted on the entire package."
Among the current reforms is a change in entry eligibility that will take effect in August. The new sliding scale will weigh both the student's SAT exam and grades in high school.
Previously, a score of at least 820 on the SAT or a 16 on the ACT was required, but the change determines eligibility by combining the score with a student's high school grade-point average.
In the colleges, there would be closer tracking of student-athletes' academic progress and criteria for them to meet at different stages, and more accurate and timely assessment of the graduation rate.
Also being considered are ways to reward college programs whose athletes are succeeding in class and punish those that aren't.
Southern California president Steven Sample favors the reforms, except for the elimination of the SAT or ACT cutoff scores. He said that since there is no national system to compare high schools, those exams are the only common standards for secondary education.
K-State offensive guru leaves for Kentucky
Ron Hudson takes similar position with old coach
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN—Ron Hudson, the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Kansas State, is leaving for a similar position at the University of Kentucky.
offense at 423. He coached quarterback standouts Michael Bishop, who was the Heisman Trophy runner-up in 1998, and Ell Roberson.
Hudson, who made the announcement Tuesday, left Ohio State to join the Wildcats coaching staff in 1995 as the passing-game coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He was appointed Wildcats' offensive coordinator in 1997.
Hudson, 55, led an offense that finished second nationally in scoring in 2002 at 44.7 points per game and 15th in total
"I talked to Ell yesterday (Monday), and that was hard," Hudson said. "I encouraged him (Monday) to do better. He's put himself in the hunt for that trophy next year."
Kentucky coach Rich Brooks contacted Hudson about the coaching position after the Wildcats beat Arizona State 34-27 in the Holiday Bowl. Hudson was an assistant for Brooks when Brooks was head coach at Oregon in the late 1970s.
Hudson said the position will allow his wife to be closer to her ailing mother.
Bill Snyder, Kansas State coach, hasn't announced who will replace Hudson.
49ers coach fired after playoff loss
The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Steve Mariucci was fired as coach of the San Francisco 49ers yesterday after six seasons without a trip to the Super Bowl.
Mariucci was released from the final year of his contract. He jockeyed unsuccessfully for a contract extension last season.
Mariucci went 57-39 while leading the 49ers to four playoff berths. The team was knocked out of this postseason last weekend with a 51-6 loss at Tampa Bay.
"This is not a performance issue that has forced us to reach this decision," team owner John York said. "Rather, our decision is based upon a difference in philosophy within the 49ers' structure on how to best utilize our various talents in pursuing the goal of fielding championship teams and
winning a Super Bowl."
As much success as Mariucci had, his two predecessors — Bill Walsh and George Seifert — led San Francisco to a total of five Super Bowl championships, the first in 1982 and the most recent in 1995.
The jacksonville Jaguars now are the only other team with a coaching vacancy and are thought to be interested in Mariucci. The Jaguars fired Tom Coughlin last month.
Mariucci angered the 49ers' front office last winter by campaigning for a new contract through the media and then talking to the Buccaneers last February about becoming their coach and general manager. The teams worked out a compensation package, but when Mariucci waffled on his decision, Tampa Bay hired Jon Gruden instead.

To sum things up in one sentence, the toughest opponent for the Kansas women's basketball team so far this season is consistency.
The season started with four victories followed by four losses. After the team's record was leveled out, three more victories got the women back on track. To conclude the break, the squad dropped its first two games of the conference season, including an 88-49 whipping from Kansas State.
Dec.14
Creighton 72, Kansas 58
The smaller lineup that Creighton put on the floor was able to out-gun the Jayhawks by hitting nine three-pointers. Four of the three-point field goals came from Laura Spanheimer, who paced the Bluejaws with 20 points. For Kansas, sophomore Aquanita Burras led the way with 15 points. The loss at home was the third consecutive defeat for Kansas. For Burras, it was the first time in her Kansas career that she played the entire 40 minutes.
"It helps you in the long run," Burras said. "If it is something that has to be done then you just have to do it."
Dec.21
Missouri-Kansas City 74, Kansas 62
Kansas was still not able to shake its losing ways, and after a hot start, the team's record was evened up at 4-4. Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg was a force in the middle for Kansas with 14 points, five rebounds and five blocked shots. Despite Ransburg's presence, UMKC was able to pull down 21 offensive rebounds, leading to an abundance of second-chance scores
and a 12-point win
Kansas 83, Indian University- Purdue University Indianapolis 61
Dec.28
The Jayhawks avoided falling below .500 by taking out all of their frustrations on IUPUI in a blowout victory. Six Kansas players scored in double figures, but the most impressive performance of the day came from freshman guard Erica Hallman. In 26 minutes of play, Hallman scored 15 points while dishing out nine assists.
"I felt great," Hallman said. "I don't hesitate to go to any of the other players because I know that they can score."
Sophomore guard Blair Waltz also had her first career doubledouble with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Dec. 30
Kansas 81, Hampton 68
Still hot from a victory two days earlier, the Jayhawks had another solid home outing with their second straight victory. Ransburg was the standout for the Jayhawks with 17 points and 17 rebounds, while Stacey Becker chipped in with 13 points in nine minutes of play off the bench.
"My first game was three games ago and before that it had been over a year since I played in a game," Becker said. "It was just all built up inside."
Jan. 4 Kansas 66, Georgia State 58
Kansas rang in the new year by recording a victory at the Feist Shootout in Kansas City, Mo. The victory over Georgia State marked the team's third consecutive victory. Freshman forwards Crystal Kemp and Nichelle Roberts combined for 28 points and 18 rebounds, while Waltz impressed her hometown crowd
with 15 points. At this point, the Jayhawks were 7-4 as they entered the conference season.

"We faced an outstanding ball club. This game was all about us. We need to be reminded that we have 15 more games to play in the conference."
Marian Washington Kansas women's basketball coach
Kansas State 88, Kansas 49
Jan.8
Kansas started its Big 12 conference season the same way it ended it last year: with a loss. The team was carrying a heavy heart following the death earlier in the week of former Kansas player Shebra Legrant, and in front of more than 5,000 spectators, No.4 Kansas State punished Kansas from the start. Kansas was only 17-for-58 from the field, while the Wildcats went 33-for-58.
"We faced an outstanding ball club," coach Marian Washington said. "This game was all about us. We need to be reminded that we have 15 more games to play in the conference."
Jan.11 Iowa State 72, Kansas 70
In its final game during the holiday break, Kansas was unable to notch its first conference victory. In a game that was close from the beginning, the youth and inexperience of the Jayhawks showed late as Iowa State squeaked out a two-point victory. Burras led the way for Kansas with 14 points and seven rebounds, but the team had now suffered its secondstraight defeat.

'Hawks must nip 'Cats
COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
Ryan Copeland
rcopeland@kansan.com
Jayhawk fans circled Jan.25 on their calendars before the first tipoff of the 2002-2003 basketball season. A date that pitted the Arizona Wildcats against the Kansas Jayhawks, preseason Nos.1 and 2 respectively, for what would be one of the most anticipated games of the season.
No doubt the Hawks marked this game on their schedule only to discover that two days later they play Texas. Fourth-ranked Texas is arguably the best team in the Big 12 Conference. Of the toughest four in the conference — Kansas, Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma — Texas holds the highest spot in the national rankings and will next week, provided it records a victory over Texas A&M Saturday. Both No. 5 Oklahoma and No. 11 Missouri lost this week.
The consecutive games against No. 2 Arizona and Texas could be the best games in Allen Fieldhouse all season, making or breaking KU's season. Back-to-back losses could destroy their hopes for a high position in the NCAA tournament. That would give Kansas five losses without playing Oklahoma or two games against Missouri. Two victories would likely push the Jayhawks into the top 10, a place foreign to KU this year after the season's first week.
It's hard to say which game will be a tougher contest. Arizona defeated Texas 73-70 in December. But the unranked Louisiana
State Tigers upset Arizona for its only loss, 66-65, two games later. LSU's stingy defense held Arizona to just 35 percent shooting from the floor. While Arizona plays in-state rival Arizona State the game before Kansas and preseason NIT champs Stanford the game after, Texas may have the bigger test surrounding the team's trip to Lawrence. Texas plays Missouri the same day Kansas plays Arizona.
The Texas game might be more important. Knocking off the only team ranked higher than KU in the preseason rankings would be great. But Texas is in KU's conference. Because Texas is in the South division and KU is in the North, the two teams won't get another crack at one other until possibly in the Big 12 Tournament in mid-March.
Players on both the Arizona and Texas teams will be out for revenge. The Jayhawks defeated Arizona last year 105-97 in a game in which Arizona guard Jason Gardner let loose for 34 points. Gardner hit eight three-point shots and shot 50 percent from behind the arc. Kansas outlasted Texas last year 110-103 in an overtime shootout. That game was in Austin, Tex., so the Longhorns will want to put a halt to any potential celebrations in the Fieldhouse.
The game versus Arizona marks Kansas's last nonconference game of the season. The four toughest teams mentioned above make the Big 12 one of the toughest conferences in the nation. Defeating Arizona and Texas could set up the Iaylawks to head back into the Final Four.

Hey, I want to step out on a limb and say good job to Jeff Graves. Everybody picks on him because he started out fat and because he dropped the ball a lot. But the guy's stepping up for Simien. Woohoo!
Hey, do you remember the guy during Late Night with Roy Williams that was the emcee and he kept going, "Rock Chalk!" and then somebody would say "Jayhawk!" and he'd be like, "That's right. Just checking." Yeah, I haven't called in about that guy in a long time and I just wanted to reiterate that he sucks. Don't get him again.
Hi, I heard that Athletic Director Al Bohl was thinking about putting video boards in Allen Fieldhouse rafters and I think it's a bad idea because it's going to ruin the historic atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse and it'll make it like any other sports place like Brammlage Coliseum, which has no character.

I was wondering when they're going to sandblast the outside of Allen Fieldhouse. It's very dirty looking.
KU assistant coach Jones heading to Louisiana State
Can anybody tell me why the heck Mizzou is ranked above us?
Kansas football assistant coach Travis Jones was named defensive line coach at Louisiana State earlier this week.
KANSAS FOOTBALL
The loss of Jones leaves Mangino with two open spaces on his coaching staff. After offensive line coach Ken Conatser resigned last September, Mangino shuffled his staff, leaving the tight end coaching position unfilled.
travis is a hard-working young coach and a great person," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "We wish him and his family well."
Jones, who played four years at Georgia, joined the Kansas coaching staff in 2001. He held coaching positions at Georgia and Appalachian State before joining the Jayhawks.
Jones will receive a pay increase at LSU, as all assistants receive six-digit incomes. Jones made $88,500 last year.
Teddleton pleads no contest, to be sentenced next month
A former Kansas football player pleaded no contest to a battery charge in Douglas County District Court.
Brock Teddleton, a 6-foot-6 315-pound transfer from Coffeyville Community College, will be sentenced in February for his actions in a bar fight last year.
Teddleton was involved in a scuffle March 9 at Jack Flanigans Bar and Grill, in which the alleged victim was a 19-year-old KU student.
University of Kansas Athletics Corporation officials declined to comment on the matter but did confirm that Teddleton was no longer a member of the team.
Teddleton, a junior defensive tackle, started four games and played in eight contests for the Jayhawks last season
KANSAS BASKETBALL Recruit Giddens arrested, will not stand trial for theft
Kansas basketball recruit J.R. Giddens will not stand trial for his alleged involvement in a scam to steal nearly $4,000 worth of electronics from an Oklahoma City Walt-Mart.
Because Giddons, 17, is a juvenile, the terms of the settlement have not been released.
Giddens was one of four people arrested when they were accused of paying just $40 for more than $3,800 worth of merchandise at 3 a.m. on Dec. 19.
Giddens' uncle Ricke Green,
48, was among the four.
Oklahoma City police officers said Giddens told him his uncle called and told him he was taking him on a shopping trip for Christmas. He said Green told him he could have whatever he wanted before leaving the store a half hour ahead of Giddens.
Police officers, who store security personnel alerted, arrested Green, Giddens and Katie Citty. 35.
Amber Fletcher, 19, the Wal-Mart employee who checked the merchandise, was also arrested. Giddens knew Fletcher before the incident, police said.
Kansas coach Roy Williams declined comment.

Men's Basketball While We Were Out
Seven straight wins for Jayhawks
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks (12-3, 2-0) would rather forget their Thanksgiving vacation. Playing as they did throughout their winter vacation is making that task a little easier.
After absorbing lopsided defeats from North Carolina and Florida during its Turkey Day trip to New York, Kansas won 10 of 16 next 11 games, including seven straight while on break from classes. For complete game stories check Kansan.com.
Dec.21
Kansas 87, UCLA 70
Senior Kirk Hintrich scored 13 points in the first half and guided what coach Roy Williams called the Jayhawks' finest defensive performance of the season.
The Bruins had even less success stoping Hinrich after the break, but they were able to slice what was once a 26-point lead to 11 with four minutes left to play.
UCLA's run was short-lived. Kansas outscored the Bruins 12-6 in the closing minutes, pushing the final margin of victory to 17 points. Hinrich's game-high 27 points led four Kansas starters in double figures. Sophomore forward Wayne Simien scored 19 points, senior forward Nick Collison 18 and sophomore guard Keith Langford 13.
Dec.28
Dec.28
Kansas 80. California 67
It was supposed to be a homecoming for former Jayhawk Drew Gooden's senior year, but with
Gooden's departure for the NBA, Kansas was left with only its pride to play for in the Pete Newell Challenge.
That didn't seem to bother Collison and Simien. The Kansas big men both recorded double-doubles and proved more than the Golden Bears could handle. Simien finished the game with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Collison added 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Both players benefited from sophomore guard Aaron Miles' best performance of the season. Miles became the third Jayhawk to reach double figures in two statistical categories with 16 points and 11 assists.
Jan.2
Kansas 102. University of North Carolina-Ashville 50
To North Carolina-Asheville, it must have appeared that Kansas had 10 players on the floor. The Jayhawks had only five but spent much of the game with twice as many points on the scoreboard.
Kansas doubled UNC-Ashville's score 11 times during the contest. The first came when senior Bulldog guard Alex Kragel cut the Jayhawks lead to 18-9 with a three-pointer. The final occurred when senior walk-on Brett Olson scored Kansas' 100th point with 54 seconds remaining.
Jan.4
Kansas 100, University of Missouri-Kansas City 46
The Jayhawks won another blowout but paid a huge toll.
Simien dislocated his right
"I had a few jitter bugs, but you know what you have to do. You have to go out there and play. We didn't really have time for nervousness."
shoulder when he caught his hand on the basket while trying to block a shot. Team trainers quickly rushed him to the locker room, and when he returned to the bench in the second half, he was wearing street clothes and a sling.
Jeff Graves Junior forward
The injury removed any trace of humor from Williams' postgame talk.
"You should never say today was a real downer when you're involved with athletics," he said. "But today was one of those days."
Simien has not practiced since the game, and his condition has not been updated.
The loss came at a bad time for the Jayhawks because forward Moulaye Niang was scheduled to fly to his Senegal home to attend his father's funeral.
Kansas 83, Iowa State 54
Jan. 6
With Simien watching from the sideline, Kansas handed Iowa State its worst loss in the 31-year history of James H. Hilton Coliseum.
Collision led the Jayhawks with a career-best 31 points.
"It was great for me," Collison said of his last collegiate appearance in his home state. "I don't think it could have gone any better."
Simien's replacement, junior Jeff Graves, provided plenty of support for Collison. He grabbed 10 rebounds, scored 7 points and frequently dove to the floor to retrieve loose balls.
"I had a few jitter bugs," Graves said after the game. "But you know what you have to do. You have to go out there and play. We didn't really have time for nervousness."
Jan.11
Kansas missed '11 of its first 14 shots, Williams got so angry with his starters he replaced all five in the first half, Simien missed his second game, and the Jayhawks beat Nebraska by 33.
Jan. 11
Kansas 92. Nebraska 59
Substitutes Jeff Hawkins, Christian Moody, Brett Olson, Bryant Nash and Michael Lee entered the game at the 16:04 mark and provided the Jayhawks with two defensive stops while maintaining a furious pace for two minutes.
After their dismal start, the starters returned to the floor, and Hinrich made sure Williams would not have to repeat the substitution. He burned the Cornhuskers with a series of twisting layups and three-pointers, finishing the day with a game-high 28 points.
Graves continued to give the team a boost, scoring 11 points to go along with 12 rebounds.

So, Jay, I hear you've been sucked into the black hole of a long-distance relationship.
It's true.
And the best part is I'll have a lot of free time where I used to spend chasing girls.
So, I figure: Origami
That's the best part?
I'll take two
HOROSCOPES
You may have thought you needed to make more money, but there are other ways to achieve peace of mind. Consult a friend who gets by on less.
Today's Birthday (Jan, 16).
Today's Birthday (Jan. 10).
You could run into a person this year who's both attractive and irritating. You'd sometimes like to strangle this person, but that's not a good idea. Use this person as a resource to get rid of old baggage and polish your performance. This coach will show you how.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 5.
If you don't feel up to taking on a new challenge, you're reading the conditions well. Take it easy. Whatever it is can wait.
Taurus(April20-May20)Today is an 8.
Don't race all over town running errands. That's a waste of time and money. You don't even need some of the stuff on your lists.Edit.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is an 8.
One of the most important skills you can learn is knowing when and how to say "no." It'll do wonders for your peace of mind and make it much easier to schedule.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
Does some aspect of your work have you troubled? Somebody who's being overlooked, who needs more of your attention?
Focus on caring for them, and you'll benefit, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Today is an 8.
If at first you don't succeed, ask a friend to intervene. You rarely ask for anything, but you could. You know the perfect person, too.
Do what's required, and do it with grace. It'll go more smoothly that way, and you'll get home earlier.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8.
You may feel attracted by a distant
opportunity, yet hesitate to leave the security of the familiar. You should know if it's right for you to go soon. By Saturday, for sure.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 6.
You generally aren't a coupon-clipper, but fate could toss you a deal that's too good to overlook. Don't throw away a great opportunity.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8.
The person you most feel like talking to isn't asking you to explain a thing. He or she is a great listener, though, and you know it. Vent.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 6.
Love and money are connected now. That simply means you're more apt to achieve a goal with somebody special on your side.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
Visit with friends, but also leave time for your own. A family member needs you now, maybe just to know you're OK.

'Hawks wrangle Wyoming
Williams wins 400th fourth fastest to net feat
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Winning 400 hundred games never looked so easy.
Kansas coach Roy Williams reached the milestone by way of 98-70 blowout of Wyoming last night.
His 400-96 career coaching record makes him the fourth fastest coach to accomplish the fete in Division 1 history. Only Adolph Rupp, Clair Bee and Jerry Tarkanian were faster.
"It's nice." Williams said of the plateau after the game. "But (Tennessee women's coach) Pat Summitt reached 800 last night. Bobby Knight (Texas Tech coach), sometime next week he'll reach 800. I'm still like the little boy looking for a cookie."
The milestone was never in doubt as the Jayhawks knocked the Cowboys out of contention early with first-half scoring runs of 7-0, 8-0 and 10-0. Senior forward Nick Collison led Kansas to a 48-32 halftime advantage with 17 points and six rebounds before the break. He continued to have his way with the Wyoming big men in the second half, connecting on 12 of 14 shots. He finished the night with a team-high 28 points and 11 rebounds.
Covering the other forward position for the Jayhawks, junior forward Jeff Graves recorded his highest point total at Kansas, 14, on his way to his third double-double in four games. He also set up the most exciting play of the night.
With eight and half minutes left in the first half, Graves stole a Wyoming pass, and fed Hinrich. A few steps behind the half court line, Hinrich heaved an alleyoop pass to a leaping Keith Langford. The sophomore guard caught the pass well above the rim and slammed the ball through the hoop, drawing a roaring ovation from the capacity crowd.
Along with Graves and Collison, all five Kansas starters scored in double figures. Kirk Hirnich scored 19 points and made 4 of 6 three-pointers, Langford added 14 points and sophomore guard Aaron Miles scored another 14 while tossing 8 assists.
The starters' efforts ensured a Kansas victory early enough for a slightly premature celebration.
When Kansas called timeout with 3:53 seconds left to play to substitute its reserves, a message flashed across the scoreboard announcing Williams' 400th victory. When Williams realized what was happening, he took a moment to shake the hands of each member of the coaching staff and team. He then waved to the cheering crowd and signaled to the referees to return to the game.
"I'm human, it felt good," Williams said of the crowd's response.
When the final buzzer sounded, making it official, Collison and Hinrich presented Williams with the game ball.
"It's good to be a part of it," Collison told reporters. "There is probably going to be guys that are part of 500 and 600."

Graves dunks, Niang back on court
By John Domoney
jdomoney@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It took 15 games into his Kansas career, but junior forward Jeff Graves ended a dubious streak for a 6-foot-9-inch basketball player—he dunked the ball in a game.
Early in the first half, Graves ended doubts about his jumping ability when he took a pass in the lane and finished the play with a two-hand slam that brought a loud roar from the capacity crowd in Allen Fieldhouse during last night's 98-70 defeat of Wyoming.
"It felt pretty good," said Graves about his first dunk in a Kansas uniform. "I felt like I should have done it earlier, but I was waiting for the perfect time."
After being chastised by Kansas
Niang, who returned to the team after missing the last two games while he traveled back to Senegal for his father's funeral, said he was impressed with Graves.
coach Roy Williams earlier in the season for his weight, Graves' numbers have been on a steady rise since he entered the starting lineup for injured Wayne Simien during the Jan. 4 game against the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
In that game Graves played 25 minutes and registered his first double-double of his jayhawk career with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
Before last night's game against the Cowboys, Williams told reporters after the game he had challenged the team and Graves to respond to the challenge presented by Wyoming.
Williams said he was impressed with the performance of Graves and his increasing ability to grasp the Kansas offensive and defensive systems.
"Wayne (Simien) called me and left me a message on my cell phone while I was gone to tell me how he's been playing well," said Niang about Graves. "He's a good player and tough around the basket."
"For Jeff Graves, it was his best game of the year for us," Williams said. "Jeff

got a couple of steals and when they threw it in the post, he blocked some shots."
Graves had a career high 14 points on 5 of 9 shooting from the floor to go along with 10 rebounds including five rebounds on the offensive end. The junior college transfer also had three blocked shots and three steals on the defensive end during this 26 minutes of playing time.
Graves' defense played a big part in limiting Wyoming senior center Uche Nsonwu-Amadi to 10 points after the Nigerian product entered the game averaging 14 points per game.
"I'm feeling a lot more confident around the basket and doing more things on defense," Graves said. "I've been sliding my feet more because coach told me I have quick feet."
layhawk freshman forward Moulaye
"I wasn't getting the boost from the crowd earlier in the season," Graves said. "Once you fall into the program and execute, you get that boost from the crowd."
The points and the rebounds are fine with Graves, but he said he was the most pleased with how the fans have started to become his best encouragement.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Jessica Tims jtims@kansan.com
Section adds more depth to coverage
There are many ways to start the first column of the year, but I prefer to cut the crap and get right to it.
Let me introduce myself. I am Jessica Tims, Spring 2003 sports editor. Yeah, that's right, there's a chick in charge.
This semester things are going to be a little different on the sports page. Associate Sports Editor Matt Gehrke and I realize there is more to sports than gamers and game previews, so our goal is to bring you, the reader, more in-depth coverage of all Kansas sports. We plan to include more features on your favorite teams and players in every issue. You can expect every game-day preview of the Jayhawks to include when and where you can see or hear the game. Every preview of the 'Hawk's opponents will be accompanied by a list of probable starters, the first off the bench and stats for both teams.
The section's page two will also be undergoing some serious reconstruction. The Inside Front will feature a second column by a Kansan sports staffer, a Kansan.com poll question, a calendar of Kansas sporting events and everyone's favorite — Sports Free for All. You can also find briefs and updates on Kansas basketball recruits. The day before each away game we will bring you travel information including detours, speed traps, places to eat and attractions to see along the way.
For all you Doyle Murphy fans — hey Mr. and Mrs. Murphy — or just those of you who enjoyed watching the big guy get beat in Kick the Kansan, a new basketball-style contest is currently in the works. Although 'h' the specifics of the contest are still being ironed out, Murphy had this warning for anyone willing to take him on: "I'm back, I've been training and I am ready to embarrass a few readers."
LaMarr Russell/Daily O'Collegian
Although it's been promised every semester, Gehrke and I are committed to better coverage of KU club and intramural teams. We will be sending photographers and Kansan correspondents to games but we need your help. If you are on one of these teams, drop off a copy of your team's schedule at the Kansan sports desk, 111 Stauffer-Flint Hall. Our clubs and intramurals writer, Ryan Copeland, is also looking for fun features. If you think your team or one of its members is worthy of a story in the Kansan, give Copeland a call at 864-4858.
We welcome your feedback, so don't hesitate to call Gehrke or me with any comments, questions or ideas. We can be reached by phone at 864-4858 or by email at jtims@kansan.com or mgehrke@kansan.com.

Second half rally not enough for women's basketball team
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan Sportswriter
This season's Kansas women's basketball team may have already eclipsed the victory total put up by last year's squad, but getting a conference victory is not as easy.
With a 60-56 loss last night at Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks fell to 7-7 overall on the season and dropped to 0-3 in conference play. It has now been 670 days since the women's team has won a conference game, but by losing the last two contests by a total of six points, they are closer and closer to a
Big 12 victory.
Despite outscoring the Cowgirls 28-25 in the second half in front of 1,757 fans at the Gallagher-Iba arena in Stillwater, Okla., Kansas was never able to recover from inconsistencies early in the game.
The young team showed heart in the loss by rallying from a deficit as large as 20 points, but rebounding and free-throw shooting was what eventually did the jayhawks in.
Freshman guard Erica Hallman led the way for Kansas, contributing with 17 points. Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg added 10 points and four rebounds, but eventually fouled out of the game. Sophomores Aquanita Bur-
ras and Blair Waltz each added nine points in the effort.
For the Cowgirls, junior center Trisha Skibie dominated inside with 21 points and eight rebounds. Senior guard Thia Willis came off the bench to chip in 12 points and four rebounds in her 19 minutes of play.
Kansas will continue its seemingly endless search for a conference win on Saturday when Colorado visits Allen Fieldhouse. Colorado boasts a 12-2 record overall and a 2-1 mark in conference play. Tip off is scheduled for 1:05 p.m.

Network introduces new reality shows
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — ABC executives on Wednesday defended their increasing reliance on reality programs as an inevitable part of reversing the network's fortunes.
ABC will introduce four new reality shows in the next few months and the genre will account for about one-seventh of ABC's total schedule, said ABC Entertainment President Susan Lyne.
But "Are You Hot: The Search for America's Sexiest People" and the other series won't dominate a schedule that remains mostly comedies and dramas, Lyne said.
"This is not an either-or," she told the Television Critics Association. "It's all part of the process of rebuilding the network that was in some trouble."
The network, which had a severe ratings swoon last season, has begun to
revive with help from the reality show "The Bachelor" and spin-off "The Bachelorette," as well as several new comedies.
Broadcast networks can't ignore the kind of programming that has demonstrated such appeal, particularly among elusive younger viewers. Lyne said.
There is an awareness the reality craze can be like "crack" for network executives, she added.
ABC remains intent on developing scripted series but can't ignore that there are limits on the number that can be successfully started, she said. Four dramas have bitten the dust so far this season at ABC.
Questioned about how titillating shows like "Are You Hot" fit in with the image of Walt Disney-owned ABC, Lloyd Braun, chairman of ABC Entertainment Television Group, said the network does draw the line.

University to send playwrights to compete in regional festival
By Nikki Overfelt
Kansan staff writer
overfelt@kansan.com
The crimson and blue will be well represented at the regional festival of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival held at the University of Northern Iowa from Jan. 21 to 26.
Five playwrights from the English department will have their plays featured at the festival. Fatherland by Adam Merker, Fall 2002 graduate from Stilwell, is the only one-act play being featured. The other four plays featured are ten minute plays: The Smog Also Rises by Paul Shoulberg, Lawrence senior; One Last Time by Carol Dias de Silva, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior; Ketchup by Kristin Soper, Amarillo, Texas, senior; and Attack of the Asians by Tim Macy, Fall 2002 graduate from Noel, Mo.
The ten minute plays were written by students in Paul Lim's "Beginning
Playwright" class in the fall
"We are very thrilled that our playwrights are getting recognition, not just
Shoulberg's 10-minute play is about a young writer and his girlfriend, who is faking a pregnancy to push him to be more ambitious. A famous Hollywood actor
Out of the eight plays in each category at the regional festival, the judges will choose one of each to move on to the national festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington. D.C., from April 14 to 20.
The one-act play is about three World War II American soldiers who are leading a prisoner back to headquarters for interrogation in Germany near the end of the war. The soldiers find out that their prisoner is an American fighting for the Germans.
locally but nationally." Lim said.
"I'm honored," he said of his play being chosen. "I'm still in shock. I just started writing it for a project in class, and I never thought it would turn into this."
Merker said he started writing the play not too long after Sept. 11,2001.War has always intrigued him,he said, especially because his dad is a high school history teacher.
Merker's play will also be featured in Lawrence at 2:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at the Lawrence Arts Center. Tickets are $5 at the door. The money will help fund the expense of sending the cast and crew to Iowa.

offers to buy the rights to the writer's novel, causing the motive of the couple's relationship to surface.
Shoulberg said the idea stemmed from examining the motives of writers. He said he was pleased with the success of his play.
"I'm really excited to see actors actually read my words," he said.
Attack of the Asians
This 10-minute play features an old couple sitting on a porch swing talking.
They both suffer from debilitating diseases, their children have disowned them, and they have no contact with society.
Macy said his play was inspired by him seeing old people that were lonely and struggling to get by when he waited tables.

"I'm looking forward to all the workshops and seeing all the shows there," she said.

Dias de Silva said she was flattered her play was chosen.

Skiers jump on board for extreme winter sport
By Marissa Stephenson mstephenson@kansan.com Jayplaywriter
While the Kansas plains may lend themselves to a variety of winter sports, snowboarding will never top that list. But that hasn't stopped a dedicated group of students from making snowboarding their hobby of choice.
Niel McCune, Kingman senior, started snowboarding at 14 and now calls himself an addict.
"When I was younger, I'd ski or skateboard, but since I started snowboarding, I only do that whenever I can," McCune said. "It just looks cooler."
McCune boards with best friend, Jon Messenger, Kingman senior, who also switched from skiing to snowboarding.
"Skiing's fun, but snowboarding is so much better," he said. "I haven't skied since the first time I tried boarding. The tricks are easier. You can go on rails and bigger jumps, pipes and gaps. Why would anyone want to ski after that?"
Both men agreed the lack of elevation in Kansas posed a challenge.
"I try to get up to the Colorado slopes as
much as I can, but in between Niel and I go to Snow Creek in Weston, Mo.," Messenger said. "It's kind of like one big bunny slope. Definitely no comparison to Colorado, but we have fun there."
Mamie Schutte, Pretty Prairie freshman, said finding a place to snowboard wasn't the only obstacle — buying the necessary equipment can add up quickly, too.
"Finding a hobby you enjoy can be a great thing," she said. "Mine just happened to cost me $800."
Schutte said when looking for her board, boots and bindings, she only bought the best.
"It's a big investment no matter what you buy," she said. "If I'm going to put that much money into gear, I want the best quality that I can get."
All three boarders said that when buying equipment, they went to Let It Ride, 15 E. Seventh St., a local snowboarding and skateboarding retailer.
John Niswonger, Let It Ride owner, said his store was the only local location offering snowboarding gear. He said a steady stream of students came into the store, in addition to customers from the Kansas City metropolitan area.
As far as prices go, Niswonger said geography affected price.
"Being in Kansas, you almost have to lower your prices to sell," he said. "Here, we have package deals and annual discounts on last year's models."
Niswonger agreed that snowboarding could cause many skiers to switch their favorite sports.
"I'd say that 95 percent of people that try snowboarding never go back to skiing," he said.
Brent Fry, Lenexa junior, doesn't consider himself one of the 95 percent.
"Snowboarding may be for some people but not me," he said. "The times I've gone I fall on my ass and think 'Why am I doing this?' I hate this.' I'll stick with skiing, thank you."
For snowboarders and skiers, Snow Creek is open seven days a week until March 16. Weekday hours are noon to 9 p.m.; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays; and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays. Snow Creek also has special 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. hours on Fridays and Saturdays for late-night boarding and skiing.
"You know, Snow Creek does pretty well — it's a nice effort for trying to turn a

The Elevator Division plans summer tour
By Matt Beat
mbeat@kansan.com
Jayplaywriter
In a basement in Kansas City, Mo., members of The Elevator Division are hard at work every Monday and Thursday night practicing and recording their work.
Formed in January 1998, The Elevator Division is a four-piece rock band composed of members James Hoskins (singer/guitarist), Paul Buzan (bassist), Jeremiah Gonzales (guitarist) and Samuel Hoskins (drummer).
Taylor Pratt, Andover junior, saw the band at The Bottleneck in December with The Casket Lottery, Salt the Earth, Coalesce and Saved by Grace.
The band's sound is dark, melodic, pop/rock. James Hoskins' voice is similar to Thom Yorke of Radiohead and the melodic guitars are reminiscent of U2 and Our Lady Peace. Samuel Hoskins, who is James Hoskins' cousin, is an aggressive drummer whose sound is similar to Jimmy Chamberlin of the Smashing Pumpkins.
"They were the unfamiliar band that stole the stage among many local bands I already knew about," Pratt said.
"I think we would like to be known as both a good live band and a good studio band." James Hoskins said.
The band has played shows throughout the Midwest. Members are planning for a more extensive tour this summer.
In the meantime members are in the midst of writing a full-length album to follow their EP, Whatever Makes You Happy, released last year. The group already released two full-length albums in addition to the EP. Right now, The Elevator Division produces and distributes all of its own material, but members are hopeful they'll be signed to a major label someday.
UPCOMING SHOWS

January 25

Members said they fit into the local music scene well.
"Overall, there seems to be a growing sense of community with the bands around here," Buzan said. "All of them support each other."
The Elevator Division was a three-piece ensemble until Gonzales joined about a year ago. Members agreed that the additional guitar improved their live sound.
"After I joined the band, I think it allowed us more space and gave us more of a full sound with two guitar parts to compliment each other," Gonzales said.
But like other local bands, The Elevator Division has also experienced frustrations.
"I wish there were more fans at our shows that weren't people who are in other local bands." James Hoskins said.

School House Rockin' Bands try to find balance between classes and gigs

Kansan staff writer
Tom Brantman probably didn't sleep much last night.
His band, Getaway Driver, played in Springfield, Mo., late last night. They finished their show around 1 a.m., only to drive four hours back to Lawrence for the first day of classes.
This morning Brantman had to wake up for an 8:30 a.m. design history class. He is one of many students in a band who try to balance schoolwork with late-night gigs and an out-of-town tour schedule.
"Myschoolwork definitely suffers, but on the other hand, I'm much happier." Brantman
Brantman is a senior taking 13 credit hours to finish a degree in industrial design.
He already anticipates missing about three weeks of class this semester because of his band's touring schedule.
"We bring a laptop on the road so we can write papers. If we didn't we wouldn't pass school." Brantman said.
"My schoolwork definitely suffers but on the other hand, I'm much happier. I wouldn't be as happy if I weren't doing this stuff."
Mike Logan, general manager of Abe & ke's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., said it took a lot of work and organization to be a student in a band.
said. "I wouldn't be as happy if I weren't doing this stuff. I wouldn't be so creative."

"I don't think it's impossible to do school and play in a band. If you are playing locally it's very doable, but when you have to play out of town you maybe have to miss class on Thursdays." Logan said.

Matt Morgus, bass player for Salt the Earth is taking a different approach to college this semester. Morgus will take six hours of correspondence courses offered through the University of Kansas.
"I'm taking correspondence courses because we are touring so much. I'll be in L.A. taking a test in a couple weeks for school," he said.
Morgus finds he doesn't have much time left over when he makes time for school, work and a daily practice schedule. With all those responsibilities, graduating from college remains a top priority.

The members of Key plan to take two years after college to tour and see where their music takes them. For Babson though, college remains a top priority to have as a backup in case music doesn't work out.
For Brantman of Getaway Driver, coming back to school after playing in places like Phoenix and Los Angeles is going to take some getting used to.
"I think I'm ready to get back home," he said. "As soon as I sit in the classroom for five minutes I'm going to wish I was back on the road."

'Kansan' reviewers pass and fail mix of albums
Make Up the Breakdown by Hot Hot Heat
One of the best things that can be said about Make Up The Breakdown, the new album from Hot Hot Heat, is that the asshakability factor is high.
Nearly every song on the record is catchy and danceable, good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll.

playing straight guitar rock. The interplay between guitar and keyboards on songs such as "Bandages" and "No, Not Now" is reminiscent of '80s new wave, and the fact that vocalist/keyboardist Steve Bays tends to sound like Robert Smith of The Cure only adds to the effect.
The album's last track, "In Cairo" is its most ambitious. It's a longer, slower, piano-based song, but it's also the album's biggest misstep. There is nothing groundbreaking on this album, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Hot Hot Heat is at its best when keeping it simple, short and sweet: catchy riffs, big choruses, and clever song structures. One of the best things about the album is the way the group continually changes tempos and dynamics in the songs to maintain listener interest, as on songs like "This Town."

Equal parts Papa Roach, The Calling, Linkin Park and Lifehouse,the members of Trapt seem to be confused as to what type of audience they appeal to. Guitarist Simon Ormandy,bassist Peter Charell and drummer Aaron Montgomery work together to create a bland canvas of clichéd riffs and predictable song structures.
Vocalist Chris Brown adds his lyrics and vocal melodies, which seem to serve only as filler. For example, the first single "Headstrong," begins with a loud guitar riff, similar to a well-known Papa Roach single and also serves as the song's chorus. Opening a song with a chorus is reserved for the classic pop genius of the Beatles"Can't Buy Me Love"and "She Loves You" and aging rock dinosaur Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady." This tactic should never be used when the chorus is repeated three more times in the duration of a song.
Throughout the record, Brown plays the part of both the tough, macho character and the sensitive song writer with a broken heart, each

unconvincingly. In "Headstrong," Brown sings, "Back off we'll take you on / Headstrong to take on anyone / I know that you are wrong / Headstrong, we're headstrong."
To contrast this defiant attitude, Brown expresses his sensitive side on tracks like "Enigma." He sings, "Hey, I'm pleading; my soul is bleeding / I don't want to be left
alone, not when I'm right next to you."
Contrived lyrics like these make it hard for Brown to be believable as either personality.
On the positive side, producer Garth Richardson has created a sonically powerful record for Trapt, mixed by Andy Wallace. Both Ormandy and Brown have impressive guitar sounds best displayed on songs like "These Walls" and "Echo," which both start with clean, percussively picked passes and soon turn heavily distorted.
Despite these positives, Trapt offers nothing new to the already over-bloated, modern rock radio world.

Catch Me If You Can soundtrack by Various Artists
The title of Steven Spielberg's latest film falls accordingly to the level of the soundtrack for which longtime Spielberg composer John Williams is responsible.
For all of Williams' success in catching audiences in his 28 years of musical service to Spielberg, the recent Catch Me If You Can effort fails to enrapture moviegoers as Williams' previous works have done.
Williams' music has been in Spielberg's works since 1974's The Sugarland Express. Several popular scores were born from these films including the Indiana Jones series and arguably the composer's most renowned effort with the score from Jurassic Park, which was an invariably catchy work closely associated with the film.
Williams' task clearly set him to try to replicate the contemporary classical and easy listening tunes of the early to mid-'60s. Predictably, the tracks Williams contributes himself are crafted to suit the scene for which they are created. So much so that the arrangements are named precisely after the
scene they serve. For instance, the sentimental "Father And Son" arrives in a scene where the movie's father and son share an equally sentimental moment.
Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me" and Judy Garland's "Embraceable You"
somewhat effectively add vigor to the otherwise turgid mix of Williams' work.
IF YOU CAN
JOHN WILLIAMS
Sinatra's tune especially demonstrates the
Contributed photo
foundation upon which most other "original" Williams tunes on the soundtrack evolve from. With its antiquated and subtle rhythm section and easy instrumentation, Sinatra's song shows a strong influence upon which Williams crafts his own watered down arrangements.
As far as Williams overall work as a musician, he has never stacked up against contemporary classical composers of his time such as Herbert Howells and others, which is probably why his most notable work is in movie soundtracks where his music usually uses the film as a vehicle to dilute his lack of classical sophistication when compared to other classical musicians.
As a soundtrack, nothing particularly stands out besides the Sinatra and Garland contributions. As far as Williams' own work, contemporary classical music fans would easily find more satisfaction with other artists than the repetitive and unrefined arrangements found in Catch Me If You Can.

Learn to tap into partner's sexuality to climax
COMMENTARY
Editor's Note: The Kansan is in the process of hiring another sex columnist in addition to Brandy Furst and Meghan Banium, who will be returning periodically.

jayplay@kansan.com
Finding the best way to get off can be a difficult task whether you're gay, straight or bisexual.
It can take a one-night stand or years to find someone who gets you off. Some people never find that person, but I was determined to find someone who could show me what the big deal was.
Everyone talked about how great sex was, but I just didn't get it. My body wasn't shaking or sweating. And a moan never crossed my lips.
It took four years of being sexually active to finally find a person who could make me reach orgasm through oral sex. Five seconds after he started going down on me, I told myself that he was the man I was going to marry.
Another problem: You can't always tell if you are getting someone off — especially women. Some lay still, keep quiet and show no emotion. Some flap around like fish out of water and scream at the
top of their lungs. Some women, even when they're not having an orgasm, do this, too. Unless you know your partner well sexually, you just can't tell sometimes.
The best way to find out is by asking. But be aware; you're not going to be able to get everyone off. Some women can get off only with small penises, and some women need a large penis to reach an orgasm. Men can have similar problems.
So, don't feel so bad next time you just can't make that particular person reach the heights of ecstasy. It's not necessarily your fault.
If your partner constantly gets close to orgasm, then it's probably possible for him to make it all the way.
Finding the best way to get off can be a difficult task whether you're gay, straight or bisexual.
According to sexualrecords.com, a 1948 survey taken in America by Alfred Kinsey found that 75 percent of men ejaculated within two minutes of entering their partner, and the average time it took for a woman to reach orgasm was 10 to 20 minutes. This is a big difference. To a lot of 22-year-old men, four minutes can seem like running a marathon. But to an older man, four minutes can seem like a walk in the park. Men usually build up endurance over the years, and women often reach orgasm quicker with age.
If you enjoy your partner but think something is missing or perhaps you want to spice up your sex life, make sure your partner knows. If you are too nervous about mentioning it or fear your partner's reaction, try to find subtle ways of getting the point across.
Ask what he thinks of people who have
threesomes, or people who use lots of different sexual positions. Ask your partner if he has ever looked at a Kama Sutra book. If your partner says yes and seems interested, take it further. For the openminded, attend a fetish show together. See what happens.
Sexual compatibility is pretty much necessary for friends with benefits, but it isn't always necessary for a healthy relationship. Many couples find other ways to enjoy each other. Some people share similar interests so much those interests are more of a part of their lives than sex. Some married couples haven't had sex, aren't having sex and won't have sex.
So, keep that in mind and think of sexual compatibility the way Marilyn Monroe's character in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes referred to marrying someone with money when she said, "Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You might not marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?"
My thoughts exactly.
Furst is a Lawrence freshman in microbiology.

Balanced, successful diet up to individuals
If you have not decided on a New Year's resolution, one could be staring you right in the face.
EAT THIS
Since Jan. 1, ads have screamed at Americans to lose weight by joining athletic clubs and weight loss programs, popping diet pills, having liposuction, going to spas, drinking miracle punches, eating this, not eating that and so on.
---
Christina DiGiacomo cdigiacomo@kansan.com
With pizza available at all hours, it's difficult for college students to stay on diets best for them.
Ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide how much he is committed to a balanced diet and exercise.
People are hopping from one diet-of the-day to the next. They lose money but not weight.
Many diet plans advertised on television encourage viewers to look like models.
Erika Barnum, Lawrence senior, has a hard time buying into such gimmicks.
"I don't think these plans are healthy, and I don't believe they would be effective in the long run," Barnum said. "People need to see there is not a quick fix."
Unfortunately, the media misguides the public on healthy ways to shed
pounds.
Joe Rogers, bartender at Quinton's Bar & Deli, 1730 W.23rd St., and Overland Park senior, said the only way to get in shape and stay in shape was through exercise and willpower.
Plan your diet regime. Contact your doctor, and research nutrition information. This will build your self-confidence and save you cash.
Each week, "Eat This" will now have a healthier version of a tasty recipe.
Staying motivated is half the battle when dieting.

'Adaptation' will puzzle and thrill at the same time
In the spirit of this crazy movie, I thought I'd write myself into this review. I used to be a student filmmaker, and I bought a copy of the religiously studied movie manual Story, by Robert McKee. I still have a copy of it, though I've never read it.
REVIEW
And for that, I might get a spiritual pat on the back from Charlie Kaufman, the writer of Adaptation, a delirious new comedy from eccentric filmmaker Spike Jonze. Kaufman apparently detests McKee and everything he represents for the movies: strict structure and a painting-by-numbers approach to conflict. This movie is a riff on both McKee and the absurdity of his restrictions.
The hero of Adaptation is Charlie Kaufman, a sweaty, balding screenwriter played by Nicolas Cage. He has been assigned to adapt The Orchid Thief, Susan Orlean's true-to-life, decidedly non-cinematic book about flowers, into a movie. As if that's not complicated enough, the real Kaufman tried to adapt the book but couldn't do it, and he came up with Jonze's movie. Are you following this?
The opening moments of Adaptation give credit to Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman for writing its screenplay. Also played by Cage, Donald is Charlie's fictional twin brother. As Charlie hunches over his typewriter, the vulgar Donald flips through a copy of Robert McKee's Story. Donald decides to write his own screenplay, a serial-killer thriller that follows the rules of McKee to the letter. The script becomes a big hit, as Charlie continues to struggle with The Orchid Thief.
Even though I had a blast watching this Mad Hatter movie idea play out, I'm worried about a critical bias. Film critics are really aspiring screenwriters. Often deliberately confusing. Adaptation slides from the past and the present to the real and the surreal. It frequently speaks to an extremely limited audience, but Jonze's movie never falls short of being completely engaging.
The parts that translate Orlean's book to the screen are so wonderful they almost make you wonder how a more traditional adaptation might have looked. Meryl Streep plays Orlean, an uptight journalist at The New Yorker. She's investigating John Laroche, a greasy horticulturist played by Chris Cooper who journeys through the swamplands with Seminole Indians to lift endangered orchids from Florida's state-owned parks. The movie turns the blooming orchids into a metaphor for Orlean's romance with Laroche, whose obsessive

passions begin to rub off on the author.
The last 20 minutes of Adaptation represent bizarre moviemaking, either at its best or at its worst. The movie concludes exactly the way Donald and Robert McKee would want it to, as Jonze's inventive directing style deflates and his film fully embraces generic Hollywood formulas.
The flowers metaphor extends to Charlie's creative process, and it pays off in a big way in the film's dazzling final image. After Donald's success with the serial-killer script. Charlie attends a screenwriting workshop held by McKee, played in the film by Brian Cox. Charlie eventually enlists Donald to help him finish the adaptation. Charlie and Donald's writing sessions are hilarious parodies of the struggling artist, with Charlie clinging to his integrity as Donald drags the script down into a derivative hell. Cage gives a blistering performance in each role.
Still, Jonze's talent undercuts his satiric intentions: the ending's cliché chase sequences are thrilling despite themselves. Whether we're talking about the real Charlie Kaufman or just the sad-eyed loser Cage has created, the man has written a restlessly original work.
Some will get the joke and find it funny; others won't and will think it's sad. I'm hoping at least a few will find it serious because the movie could open up exciting new possibilities for the medium. Let me be the first to burn my copy of that screenwriting manual Donald Kaufman seems to love so much.

Exchange Server exposed as 'a real lush'
By Justin Ward
beak@kansan.com
Kansan satire writer
Bv Justin Ward
Bank of America
The Microsoft Exchange Server, which handles faculty and student e-mail accounts, has been implicated in a complex embezzlement plot.
When the Server's frequent unavailability led systems administrators to look into its case, they found a disturbing sleu of broken promises, mysterious cocktail receipts and a wanton disregard for University of Kansas funds.
"It seems that our e-mail services have been down more often than not, so we decided to screen all of our servers for illegal drug use," said systems administrator Gerald Williams. "The results showed that over the course of the last year the Exchange Server has been routinely abusing illegal substances, often on the job."
photo illustration by Dan Nelson/Kansan After 17 hours and 3,064 failed attempts using the Exchange Server, Lawrence graduate student Michael Maloni resorts to WebMail to check his e-mail. The Exchange Server was unavailable, most likely because it was passed out under a palm tree somewhere in the tropics.
Administrators scheduled an intervention during winter break, but the Server was unavailable for access.
After the failed intervention, systems administrators suspected a link between the Server's frequent unavailability and strange expenditures related to the Exchange project. The most notable of these was a bar tab consisting of 352 mai tais purchased in Maui on Boxing Day. The bill, totaling $1,205, was charged to a University Visa account under the name "Server McDrunky." Investigators discovered an electronic paper trail revealing more than $175,000
in such charges, most of which were made while the server was down for "scheduled maintenance."
"I just didn't know what to do," said Williams. "I mean, it's a good server, it really is. It's just a little mixed-up right now."
Sally Smythe, Oskaloosa junior, said the Exchange Server's sloth-like performance gave her more time for her morning routine.
"Before, I had to check and read my e-mail before I made coffee," she said. "There just wasn't time. Now I can make a pot of coffee, shower, brush my teeth, and do my Western Civ reading, all while I wait for my e-mail to come in. It's great!"
Jack Ketch, Austin, Texas sophomore, was less open to the project.
"Have you ever noticed how rude the exchange servers are?" said Ketch. "They come over here like it's their own country. I swear there's like six to a room over in McCollum."
Faculty members are similarly divided between the advanced services the Exchange project promises and its questionable performance.
"A lot of people don't realize that the Exchange project does scheduling, too," said Ed Kaufman, Professor of Computer Science. "I think that's Exchange, isn't it? Or is that just Outlook? Oh well, I never use it anyway. It's just too slow."
Marilu Goodyear, Vice Chancellor for Information Services, said the packaging for the Exchange server had been misleading.
"It didn't say anything about mai tais on the box," she said. "The box said 'Enterprise Class Solution,' in this classy, black font. I mean, the Enterprise was a spaceship, right? That's hightech. Solutions are good as well. But the Server we got stuck with is a real lush."
The Exchange Server's preliminary hearing is set for Saturday, Jan. 25, during which all student and faculty e-mail services will be temporarily unavailable.
Math student downs 44oz of flavor additive
图
In a rare non-fiction interview, Tongue-in-beak editor Lucas Wetzel sat down last Friday with Ryan Kinser, Oklahoma City senior, to candidly discuss his unlikely and partially accidental feat of drinking an entire 44oz of Shasta Vanilla Flavor Shot.
So tell me, what happened?
Well, the way I remember it, I was at the Kwik Shop on Ninth and Mississippi with a couple of friends.
photo by Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
Were you intoxicated?
Ryan Kinser, who has returned to drinking regular sodas, hopes his vanilla shot experience will lead to bigger and better things." "I'd be glad to work on a screenplay, or maybe a musical," he said.
No, I wasn't intoxicated. This was the middle of the day, I believe. I was looking through their large soda selection, and I saw they had something I'd never heard of: Shasta Vanilla Flavor Shot. And I thought that there were such things as cream soda, and root beer, and you know, Cherry Cokes and everything, so I thought that vanilla flavor shot was a type of soda. A type of Shasta soda. And so I proceeded to get 44oz of it.
Did your friends know what happened?
They kind of laughed at me, but they didn't explain to me that it was an additive.
I probably had two or three sips before I realized that it was an additive. Then I explained to them that I wasn't being facetious, that I really didn't understand. Then they thought it was really funny. But then I'd already filled the thing up, and I really do like vanilla.
How much did you drink before you realized?
How did it taste?
It was strange, because it was like there was no taste, but there was an aftertaste. Initially it just tasted like soda water going up, and then when you swallow there's a strong taste of vanilla. It's just like when you drink Vanilla Coke, when you're first drinking it it just tastes like Coke, and then when you swallow it tastes like vanilla. It was just like water, and then when you swallow it's vanilla. That's what was so strange.
I felt fine. Actually, I think after I got about hafalway to two-thirds of the way through I thought, this is really disgusting. But once I get things, I really like to finish them. Just in principle, I don't like to waste things.
How would you describe yourself?
Did you feel all right afterwards?
An aspiring mathematician/gardener.
In what ways has this changed your life?
This thing has expanded my perception of
vanilla. Before, I always looked at vanilla as a sidekick to traditional
tastes, but now I understand vanilla as its own entity. Vanilla really is deserving of equal status to Coke.
I think that's a good way to put it.
So you effectively liberated vanilla?
Are you single, Mr. Kinser?
I have a significant other.
Was your significant other impressed?
(pause) It gave me some...special powers.
Is it hard to go back to drinking regular sodas?
The experience itself was worth it. But I think it's not for me. The life of a vanilla shot, everyday, day in, day out...
God knows what would happen.
It's kind of like those businessmen who go to Thailand to get the 14-year-old hookers. They don't want to do it every day. But every three years you're over in Thailand. What the hey?
COMMENTARY

This is the semester where I turn it all around. The semester I look back on in forty years and say, "Holy Crap, that's when everything fell together. Whoopidy freakin' doo!" I am going to make a concerted, calculated and genuine effort to realize my potential and forge a meaningful existence. Starting right...now. No, right...now. Alright, I'll start tomorrow. I'm tired. Man, I got blasted again last night. I don't know what it is about my life that makes me drink, but it sure is excessive. My liver hates me almost as much as I do.
No, but really. I'm going to class every day this semester. I'm going to take notes. I'm going to start working out. I'm going to stop drinking...so much. I'm only going to smoke on weekends and when writing papers...and when I'm high or drunk. Yep, a new and improved me.
Screw it. Who am I kidding? I might as well sign my name on the dotted line, pick up my miserable cheating wife, two stupid kids and unemployment check. We'll go to Dairy Queen to celebrate, and I'll get that college degree about the same time my idiot son's dropping out of community college to professionally sell pot outside middle schools. After all, this semester's going to be like every other one. I'll skip the first week to get loaded and then I'll e-mail all of my teachers and tell them how I broke my ankle in a car accident on the way to my grandmothers funeral in Japan during a snowstorm that knocked out power so that I couldn't reach a phone or computer. They'll let me stay in the class and I'll get a couple of C's and a couple of D's. To keep my glistening 2.0 alive, I'll enlist the services of Pintar, my computer-savvy drug dealer. Fifty dollars later I've got an A and Pintar has a down payment on that '86 Pontiac Fiero he's been jonesin after.
But a very small part of me thinks that maybe this actually will be the first semester of the rest of my life. Something feels different at this very moment. I feel alive for the first time in a long time. And I've only had four drinks this morning. I feel great, poised to take on the world. Wait...Crap, I'm drunk again. There is such a fine line between drink 3 and drink 10. Such a fine line between boundless hope and hopeless resignation. It's my birthday. Happy Birthday me. 27 years young I like to say. Each year a little hazerier than the last. Well, who wants to hear an old coot like me ramble on? What I really intended on saying before I got dizzy in another shame spiral was: Welcome back ii'l Jayhawks! May the new semester fill you with knowledge, memories and the delusion that your dreams are within reach, even though they aren't

Shinobi's back, packed with whole new punch
Since the release of Shinobi 3, I always hoped they would follow up with another one. Of course that was when Sega Genesis ran supreme during the game system wars.
Finally, PlayStation 2 brought back one of the most famous video game ninjas of all time. Shinobi returns with a whole new look, with new tactics, with new weapons and on a whole new console.
Shinobi's new look at first glance resembles that of Strider Hiryu from the PlayStation game Strider 2. Creators gave him a new red scarf as long as his body. It doesn't enhance the game play, but if you ever want Shinobi to run around in circles just for the fun of it, you can now do it.

vengeance. Your weapon of choice in this Shinobi game is Akujiki, the sword you used to vanquish your brother Moritsuna.
Once you find out that the evil sorcerer who summoned the hell spawn used the corpses of your Oboro clansmen, your mission soon becomes a quest of

After your fight with your walking, living-dead brother, your sword becomes in Moritsuna's words, "awakened." Your sword feeds off the yin of a person. The yin represents all the malice and evil that people have within themselves.
Once the sword becomes awakened, your attacks become more powerful with every enemy you defeat. The power is indicated in the aura that your sword possess. For instance, if your sword glows aqua, then you have a slightly powered sword. When your sword glows fuchsia, you have a fully powered sword.
REVIEW
A. S. R. H. A. M. I. N. O. L. P. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
This means you must constantly feed Akujiki. If you don't get enough yin into your sword, it will begin to feed off Hotsuma's life energy until it gets more yin. This makes the game more interesting but also more difficult.In order to stay alive, you must always battle. This can cause players to become reckless and accidentally kill themselves.
Christopher Moore
cmoore@kansan.com
Another appealing feature about Shinobi is killing a set of enemies of four or greater. You may notice that once you strike an enemy, he may freeze. If you defeat the set of enemies on-screen in the amount of allotted time, a cinematic scene will ensue with Hotsuma doing a cool pose and sometimes saying lines such as: "I shall have my revenge." And all of the enemies you killed will split in half.
Instead of your shirukens (little ninja daggers that you throw at opponents) being your main weapon as in the old version, your sword is the main weapon for the PS2 version. The shirukens now just paralyze, but they can kill enemies if you throw enough at them.
Also your ninjitsu special powers are back. The powers range from fire damage affecting every enemy on the screen to slightly powering up your sword. But, I do miss the power that allowed you to blow yourself up and cause massive damage to everything on-screen. I guess the kamikaze move is out of style this year.
So, Shinobi has returned with great graphics, exquisite game play and great cinema scenes. The background story behind it is great for this game. Although I wonder why PlayStation 2 has most of its adventure games centered on killing demons. Overall, this game is a must have for anybody who is faithful to the series.

rvonne Thornton, an author, practicing physician and renowned civil rights advocate, will speak at the Lied Center on Monday, culminating four days of Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations at the University of Kansas.
Thornton, an award-winning orator, co-authored The Ditchdiggers Daughter in 1995, an autobiographical work detailing her rise from poverty to an Ivy League doctorate.
Leo Barber, vice president of the Ecumenical Christian Fellowship, which arranged for Thornton to come to the University, said Thornton offered a unique perspective for Martin Luther King Jr. Day because of her humble roots.
She shows what you can do through perseverance and praver. Barber said.
"She's living proof of Mr. King's work," he said.
Barber said he was looking forward to Thornton's speech and said other activities this weekend offered opportunities to reflect on Martin Luther King Jr.'s impact.
Other events throughout the weekend include a banquet tomorrow and a gospel concert on Sunday. All events are sponsored by the University and the Ecumenical Christian Fellowship.
Concerned, Active and Aware Students received a $3,000 grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service. The money will be used for workshops on conflict resolution. Children will be able to attend the workshops and celebrate the day with signing and dancing.
Mark Dupree, president of the Black Student Union, said he was encouraging people to attend as many of the weekend's events as possible.
"It's important to note what Martin Luther King has done for everyone, white and black," Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said.
The organization was not planning any public activities for the weekend but planned to support the weekend's other events, Dupree said.

Snowstorm strikes
Crews work after 5 inches of snow buries campus
By JJ Hensley
Old man winter returned to Lawrence with a vengeance Wednesday as a snowstorm left almost five inches covering the area.
The winter mix started falling around 6 p.m. Wednesday and diminished to light snow by 9 a.m. yesterday, according to the National Weather Service in Topeka. While that was enough for Lawrence Public Schools to cancel classes, the area's slick roads and plunging temperatures didn't keep KU officials from holding the first day of class.
By most accounts though, the weather kept many students from the classroom.
"If it were any day other than the first day of class I wouldn't have come in."

"I've noticed some significant absences," said Rita Napier, associate history professor. "I had a class of 90 people this morning and I would estimate that no more than 70 were there, and I've talked to some other professors whose classes were practically empty."
Dawn Gale, Overland Parkgraduate student, considered staying home before she braved a treacherous Kansas Highway 10 to show up for school.
"There was a single lane open sort of
in the middle that everyone was driving in, and it was slow." Gale said. "If it were any day other than the first day of class I wouldn't have come in."
First day of class or not, students shouldn't expect inclement weather to cancel classes. According to the University's official inclement weather policy,the campus generally does not close because of snow or other inclement weather.
At the Lawrence campus, that decision falls to Vice Provost Jim Long, who makes an early-morning recommendation to the provost and chancellor. Long began assessing conditions about 4:30 yesterday morning. After talking to KU Public Safety Office, Facilities Operations and KU on

Officials praise hybrid cars

What would Jesus drive?
That question has been a hot topic of conversation since a national group of religious environmentalists started a publicity campaign a few months ago to promote environment-friendly cars.
Chances are if he worked as a housing inspector for the City of Lawrence, Jesus would be driving a Toyota Prius.
That's what zoning enforcement officer Brian Jimenez found himself driving last spring when the department of neighborhood resources acquired the electric-gas hybrid cars because of their cost and efficiency. As a former police officer, Jimenez was accustomed to the roomy and responsive Crown Victorias used as police cruisers.
Brian Jimenez, City of Lawrence zoning enforcement officer, fills up his electric-gas hybrid car. The city purchased three hybrid cars for city employees because of their cost and efficiency. The cars have 10-gallon gas tanks, and Jimenez said his hybrid car could get up to 48 miles per gallon and more than 450 miles per tank when driving in the city.
"They get around fine and pick up speed just like a regular car. It does take bumps in the road pretty hard, but I think that's just because it's small."
"I didn't really know what to think when I saw this car but it's turned out great," Jimenez said of the compact Prius.
Indeed, with only a 10-gallon gas tank, the Prius' electric and gas-powered motors couldn't handle much more car. But what the Toyota lacks in size and stature, it easily makes up for
in efficiency.

Thanks to a $10.1 million grant last semester, Bob Hanzlick, professor of medicinal chemistry, will be able to provide support for young faculty members interested in protein structure and function.
The efforts of Hanzlick and other faculty to obtain grants contributed to a record-setting year of money spent on research at the University of Kansas.
KU spent $243 million on research for the 2002 fiscal year.
That total is up 8.4 percent from last year's record of $224 million. This marks the sixth consecutive year that research expenditures have increased at KU.
Robert Barnhill, vice provost for research and president of the KU Center for Research, attributes the continued rise to a more active involvement of faculty in research.
James Roberts, associate vice chancellor of research and public service and vice president of the KU Center for Research, and Barnhill both said increased research led to better faculty and students.
"Research means doing something new. That's what students do every day." Barnhill said. "Classes are much better because they are taught by people doing the new developments."
With more faculty conducting research, Barnhill said any faculty positions cut would ultimately hurt research numbers at KU. If the number of faculty positions remains the same, Barnhill said next year's research totals could increase substantially.
"We could increase by another $20 million. We never know. That is what has been done in the last few years." Barnhill said.
Barnhill said Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goal of becoming a top-25 public research institution was achievable, but the question was when the University would meet the chancellor's goal.
"In life sciences we are already No. 35," said Barnhill. "The biggest part of our portfolio is very promising."
Barnhill said the measure for a top-25 research institution was federal funding in life sciences. The $243 million total includes spending on all research.

STATU
Winter storm to blame for two Kansas fatalities
Winter weather is blamed for at least two deaths as a blanket of snow ranging from an inch to nearly a foot covered the state last night.
Two north-central Kansas residents were killed in separate accidents near Minneapolis on U.S. Highway 81, which was temporarily shut down because of the high number of accidents , authorities said.
Jennifer Renz, 42, of Concordia died around 4:30 p.m. after she lost control of her van and slid into a ditch. She was ejected from the vehicle, authorities said. About an hour later, Joyce Standley, 47, of Beloit was killed at the intersection of U.S. 81 and Kansas Highway 106 when her vehicle rolled over.
The heaviest snow was north and cost of Topeka, primarily around the northeast corner of the state. Centralia received 11 inches, and the Kansas City metropolitan area got 3 to 6 inches.
Elsewhere, some areas of southeast Kansas around Chanute had between 4 and 5 inches of snow.
The next few days call for cold, dry conditions. A brief warming trend with temperatures in the upper 40s is expected Sunday and Monday across much of Kansas.
Lows will range from about 10 move Thursday night to the low-to mid-20s during the weekend. Highs in the lower 30s are expected to return early next week.

Factory fire guts building; blaze causes no injuries
ST.LOUIS - A sprawling foam factory erupted in flames yesterday morning just north of downtown, and part of
the building tumbled into the street
No injuries were immediately reported.
The five-alarm fire began about 8 a.m. as employees were arriving, Fire Capt. Robert Hennicke said.
"They were just gearing up to start work," he told CNN.
The fire appeared to start at a glue table, he said.
The building, which was gutted, is in an industrial area a few blocks from Interstate 70, and the smoke temporarily closed part of the highway, Hennicke said.
All firefighters were ordered out of the factory shortly after arriving out of fear of collapse.
Professor charged with lying about plague bacteria vials
LUBBOCK, Texas —The government charged a Texas Tech University professor with lying to investigators yesterday, saying he accidentally destroyed 30 vials of plague bacteria and then claimed they had vanished from his laboratory.
Thomas C. Butter, 61, was ordered held without bond on the charge of giving a false statement to a federal agent. The charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Defense attorney Floyd Holder said the tenured professor intended to plead innocent.
"He's looking forward to proving to a jury that he's innocent," he said.
The incident began Tuesday night when the university notified authorities and local hospitals that the plague had been reported missing to campus police. Dozens of federal agents converged on the university's medical complex amid fear of bioterrorism, but Butler was arrested Wednesday.
According to the FBI, Butler confessed to accidentally destroying the vials and then lying about their disappearance.
"I made a misjudgment by not telling (the supervisor) that the plague bacteria had been accidentally destroyed earlier rather than erroneously first found missing," Butler wrote, according to court documents filed by the FBI.

University of Kansas art and design students are used to having their work critiqued by professors. But the roles will be reversed starting Sunday when approximately 20 art faculty members will display their creations in the annual art faculty show.
Paintings, sculptures, prints and photographs will be on display in the Art and Design gallery which is usually reserved for students' work.
"The exhibition allows students, other faculty and the general public an opportunity to view the work created by the KU art faculty," said Judith McCrea, chairwoman of the art department.
McCrea said faculty were expected to display work in the show as part of the learning experience for students.
"It's important for students because it lets them see what the faculty engage in and to see their research work," said Roger Shimomura, distinguished professor in painting and performance art. "It's also important for the public because it shows that what the faculty is trying to teach their students, they are engaging in themselves."
Art and design students agree that the viewing of faculty's work is beneficial to their learning.
"It's a great opportunity for us," said Pat McNamee, Leavenworth sophomore. "It gives you an idea of what professionals produce and the quality you should work for."
The exhibition also allows professors to display work that is not included in their area of expertise.
Peter Thompson, former dean of Art and Design and a professor in painting and life drawing, will be displaying a digital photograph.
"I haven't decided which image I'm going to display yet," Thompson said. "I do know that it is going to be an image taken in my garage though."
The show will open Sunday during a public reception from 2 to 4 p.m. McCrea said exhibitions were usually visited by faculty and students because of inadequate parking for the general public.
"We do have several very loyal supporters," McCrea said. "But we definitely need a more public gallery."

amount of talent on the KU art faculty," Loomis said. "We travel quite often, and we frequently come to the conclusion that the quality and value is highly competitive."
Thompson said the faculty show had been an annual event since about 1967 and was previously housed at the gallery in the Kansas Union. It moved to the Art and Design Building when the building opened in 1977.

KU study abroad program ranks top of the world in student participation

Kansan staffwriter
The University of Kansas study abroad program ranks third in the nation among public research universities in the percentage of students participating in study abroad, according to a recent survey by the Institute of International Education. Open Doors 2002.
1,141 KU students participated in study abroad programs during the 2000-2001 school year representing about 23 percent of graduating KU students in 2001.
The University ranks No.17 among public and private research institutions in the total number of students studying abroad.
Overall, KU ranks ninth among all public and private research universities in the percentage of students participating in study abroad.
The survey also reports:
Support from faculty and administration is part of the study abroad program's success, Stacie Vincent, outreach coordinator, said.
"They play an important role both in developing programs and promoting study abroad to their students," Vincent said. "Professors encourage study abroad opportunities because (studentu) will enhance their degree to have that international component to their studies."
According to Vincent, 15 more students participated in study abroad since 2001.

"There's so much that I don't know about the world, so I think it's very important to learn about another culture," Brune said. "They really try to get you to learn the language, so they're really focused on helping us. It was just a good comprehensive program."
Participating in study abroad can also help students on a professional level, Vincent said.
Robin Merritt, administrative specialist for study abroad, said her participation in a summer language program in Paris, France, helped her get a job at the University.
"I think that really shows that you can be independent and diplomatic and work with a variety of people," Merritt said.
Other schools on the top ten list include the University of Notre Dame, Yeshiva University, Cornell University and the University of Delaware.

An SUV does not a terrorist make
PERSPECTIVI
yet, according to The Detroit Project, wanting a sport utility vehicle the size of a small house — or, even worse, owning an SUV — makes me just as much a terrorist as the pilots who flew those planes into the World Trade Center. The Detroit Project, a part of Americans for Fuel Efficient Cars, is a group of people dedicated to promoting the "much more credible link between driving SUVs and our national security."
Maybe you have seen their commercials. Groups of people talk about all the benefits of their SUVs, ranging from "My kids think it's cool" to "I helped blow up a nightclub."
Well, first of all, one less nightclub in this world would make it a better place, but I don't think putting a down payment on a Chevrolet Blazer means you mixed the bomb that sent the future Justin Timberlakes and Britney Spearses of the world sailing into the night in a fiery mass.
What?
COMMENTARY
In an entirely ridiculous roundabout sort of way, The Detroit Project is playing a twisted Six Degrees of Foreign Oil game. This is the simplest way I can think of explaining it. You start with an SUV,
COMMENTARY
Meagan Kelleher
opinion@kansan.com
best described with the overused term of "gas guzzlers." Apparently, because your SUV sucks up enough gas to light a log cabin for five years, the United States needs to use oil from Middle Eastern countries. So your gas money, your tax money and your first born all go to these Middle Eastern countries, and of course, all these Middle Eastern countries are run by terrorists who despise us for even having SUVs in the first place.
If I am reading this commercial correctly, and I like to think that I am, all Americans with an SUV should just paint a target on the Sears Tower and write a check to Terrorist No.1.
This is the most ludicrous piece of advertising and pseudo-logic that I have ever seen. The Detroit Project's Web site says that it just wants to decrease America's dependency on foreign oil and use our own instead.
That's all fine and good, but why don't we go ahead and put up a huge electric fence around our borders and hide in

The Detroit Project says it doesn't want to demonize SUVs. No,it just wants to demonize the consumers by making them question every foreign piece of merchandise that helps our nation's economy and creates a greater world economy.
We shouldn't be suckered into these cheap tactics of supposed patriotism. These commercials are trying to pass their message off as a good deed, trying to get the consumer to think that they are standing up against terrorism.
In reality, all this is doing is convincing more people that, no matter what they spend their money on, they are financing terrorism, especially if you are buying something even remotely and abstractly related to the Middle East.
The Detroit Project needs to get a few things straight.
Buying an SUV does not make one a patron for the dark arts. It is possible that I may never get my Yukon Denali, and I will just have to be happy with my Plymouth Sundance. At least with my Sundance I won't be a menace to society, just a menace to good taste.

PERSPECTIVE
Grad students meet goal with limited resources
The academic year of 2002 presented a challenge to the graduate and professional community at the University of Kansas.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway made it a priority for KU to become a top-25 university. Developing this prestigious reputation will be done mainly through research and publications. The bulk of this responsibility will be placed on the 7,000 post-undergraduate students working in the laboratories and research libraries across campus.
These students must contribute to this goal with limited University resources because of budget cuts. At the same time, they must worry about tuition increases cutting into their financial autonomy that is necessary in higher-level academics. Despite having some of the best and the brightest minds from all over the world, these problems will make reaching KU's goal an uphill battle.
The academic year thus far has shown great advances for graduate and professional students. The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition successfully negotiated a new contract that will move GTA salaries toward a livable wage.
Can it be done? Can the graduate and professional students overcome circumstance to make KU a premier national institution? No sweat.

GUEST COMMENTARY
The University has recognized the need to centralize the Graduate School thanks to convincing evidence compiled
James Owen opinion@kansan.com
by the dean's office of the school. Coordinating these departments will help the University create a cohesive strategy in reaching the institution's overall goals and objectives.In responding to budget woes, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences actually moved a step forward in centralization by re-routing services from its graduate office to the dean's office of the college and Graduate School.
Finally, the chancellor's office pledged last week to make additional funding available for doctoral students by 2005. These are but a few examples of successes enjoyed at the graduate and professional level during such uncertain times.
An issue discussed vigorously this year is diversity. This is an extremely important topic, and not because of KU's need to look good on a brochure. The simple fact is that great ideas and
There's more to be accomplished, and much of it must occur at the student level.
Student Senate has already proposed plans aimed mainly at undergraduates, but graduate and professional students have additional needs that require specific attention. Addressing these needs is the purpose of the Graduate and Professional Association's Issues and Concerns Forum from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 8. Students are invited to discuss recruitment and retention with members of the administration.
innovations develop only when different people from different areas work together. No strong academic institution can survive without this dynamic.
The forum will also be a time to discuss ideas on increasing diversity, such as a Midwestern undergraduate outreach program or creating a graduate and professional ambassadors program.
Another way to strengthen KU is through organization. Many students may not realize it, but the association's main purpose is to assist the Graduate Student Organization through financing. The association helps to fund or seeks funding for graduate students in matters ranging from events here at the University to helping with costs of conferences and presentations.
By representing their programs at a local and national level, graduate and professional students raise awareness on two levels. First, they promote individual achievement while giving the student more experience and exposure for
later stages of their career. Second, an active graduate and professional community shows students and faculty from other institutions the talent and ideas that KU works to foster and develop. This creates a reputation that cannot be captured by publicity material or by a recruitment representative. This is how a strong, expansive reputation begins. And it can only be done at a student level with funds that are already available.
Remember when I said there was no sweat involved? This is what I'm talking about.
I encourage every graduate and professional student out there to learn more about these programs. The first Graduate Affairs Committee meeting is at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the International Room in the Kansas Union. The association is located at room 426 in the Union and can be reached at 864-4914 or at gpa@ku.edu. Also, we will be introducing a new improved Web site in February at www.kugpa.org.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Potential scholars shafted by policy
One focus of Chancellor Robert Hemenway's program to make the University of Kansas a top-25 university has been to attract large numbers of National Merit Scholars.
This is not acceptable.
With next year's enrollment, the University may see a drop in merit-scholar enrollment when it stops granting automatic full scholarships to out-of-state merit scholars.
If KU wants to be a prestigious institution, the University must continue to grant full scholarships to out-of-state merit scholars.
Starting in Fall 2003, the University will shift its scholarship priority to recruit more in-state scholars, according to University Relations. The number of merit scholars each year has traditionally included 50 to 55 out-of-state students, but the cost of a full scholarship for an out-ofstate student is more than double that of a Kansas merit scholar.
Even with more aggressive recruiting of Kansas scholars, it is unlikely that KU will be able to recruit as many merit scholars as the past few years.
National Merit Scholars represent the top 1 percent of their graduating class, and the University needs these students to enhance its academic programs and research programs.
Instead of full scholarships, merit-scholar applicants from out of state will be entered into the regular scholarship competitions, Klinkenberg said. The promise of a full scholarship is usually the factor that makes an out-of-state scholar decide to bring his or her talents to KU.
The University should guarantee out-of-state merit scholars a full scholarship while attracting as many Kansas merit scholars as possible. The administration needs to find a way to save money without sacrificing its commitment.

Hawk Nights' alcohol-free activities pay off
By Kelley Weiss

Kansan staff writer
The Coors Brewing Company awarded the University of Kansas Hawk Nights committee $1,500 for winning the National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week competition. Hawk Nights won the award on Dec. 12 for the alcohol-free activities they offered in the 2001-2002 school year.
Hawk Nights entered the competition with 521 other universities. The organization selected 10 of those schools to win the prize money based on the plans student committees implemented to offer alcohol-free activities to students
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the Organizations and Leadership Development Center, is the adviser of Hawk Nights. He
said the time and thought the students put into improving the program made Hawk Nights one of the best on-campus activities offered in the nation.
"We want to give the student body something to do on campus that is fun and exciting and in a safe environment," Quisenberry said.
To enter the competition, Hawk Nights submitted a more than 20-page proposal to the organization, videos of events it had done, publicity examples and promotion materials such as T-shirts and cups.
The University is using the prize money from The Coors Brewing Company to reward the committee members of Hawk Nights for their hard work. Aramis Watson, Wichita senior and president of Hawk Nights for
2001-2002, received a portion of the prize money. The current president, Paige Isaacson, Salina senior, also received some of the money.
Isaacson said she was pleasantly surprised when she received the reward.
"It's always nice to get money as a student and it was not expected at all," Isaacson said. "I plan to use the money to pay for school and other small things."
Quisenberry is supervising the prize money and plans to give monetary awards to one committee member each year.
Hawk Nights is funded by the City of Lawrence and Student Senate. The City of Lawrence gave the University $20,000 this year from money generated from the liquor and alcohol tax in Lawrence. Student Senate gave

Hawk Nights approximately $5,500 this year and local businesses contributed by donating gift certificates and free dinners.
Barbara Ballard, associate vice chancellor of student affairs, founded Hawk Nights four years ago. She said she was pleased with the success of Hawk Nights and what the students had accomplished.
"Hawk Nights is a marvelous program with lots of student help and that's what's extremely important," Ballard said.

State files response in Robinson case
The Associated Press
OLATHE — A juror in the multiple murder trial of John E. Robinson Sr. did not commit misconduct by bringing a Bible to deliberations, prosecutors said in court documents.
The prosecutors' statements filed Wednesday were in response to defense requests that Robinson be granted a new trial or his convictions be thrown out.
Johnson County District Judge John Anderson III is scheduled to take up the issues at a hearing on Tuesday.
If he denies the defense requests,he will sentence
Robinson. Jurors who convicted him recommended the death penalty.
Robinson was convicted of capital murder in the deaths of two women whose bodies were found in barrels on his rural property in Linn County as well as first-degree murder in the death of another woman who disappeared in 1985 and has never been found.
He faces trial in Cass County, Mo., in the deaths of two other women and a girl whose bodies were found in barrels inside a storage locker he rented.
Volunteers build home for Burnham family
The Associated Press
ROSE HILL — Missionary Gracia Burnham and her children will soon move into a 1,700-square-foot home valued at more than $200,000 and she won't even have a mortgage to pay.
The home is a gift from more than 300 people and nearly 100 companies to Burnham, who survived a hostage ordeal last year in the Philippines that killed her husband, Martin.
Burnham and her three chil
dren are expected to begin moving in Monday. But she said she doesn't know when they will start living in the home because they are waiting for appliances and furniture.
The home features oak floors, two fireplaces, a built-in curio cabinet and a stained-glass window depicting a cross, praying hands and a Bible.
Martin Burnham's parents were from Rose Hill and they cared for their three grandchildren while the Burnhams were held in the Philippines.
Church members charged with child abuse
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Seven members of a church have been charged with abusing four children, including one who was tied to a bunk bed in a crucifixion pose. That child, the adoptive son of the church's leaders, died last month as a result of later abuse, prosecutors said.
Neil and Christy Edgar, pastors of God's Creation Outreach Ministry in Kansas City, Kan., and baby sitter Chasity Boyd, were charged last week in Johnson County with first-degree felony murder in the death of 9-year-old Brian Edgar.
They also are charged in
Johnson County with two counts of felony child abuse involving the couple's adopted 9-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son.
At a press conference yesterday in neighboring Wyandotte County, District Attorney Nick A. Tomasic said new child abuse charges were filed late Wednesday against seven members of the church, including Boyd, 19, who is charged with six counts, and Christy Edgar, 46, who is charged with one count.
Tomasic said members of the church disciplined children for disrespecting adults and not paying attention at church by hogying them and leaving them in that
position overnight.
Extension cords, belts and black plastic ties were used to bind the children and tape was placed over their mouths, Tomasic said.
He also said one child was left bound in a bathtub overnight. And a 12-year-old child who knew the Edgars was bound and locked in a closet in the church on New Year's Eve several years ago.
When asked what the surviving children think of their parents, Tomasic said: "Without exception, when the children first were talked to, they didn't want to talk. They said their parents in effect weren't doing anything
wrong. They were just following the teachings of the church."
The other church members charged with abuse in Wyandotte County are Renita D. Allen-Jackson, 40, and Barbara Clark, 45, both of Kansas City, Kan., are charged with two counts each. Also charged with one count Wednesday were Neil Edgar's sister, Julia Edgar-Montgomery, 54; Idella A. Horton, 22; and Patricia A. Walker, 44, all of Kansas City, Kan.
The church members are accused of abusing the Edgar's three adopted children, including Brian, and the 12-year-old boy who knew the family, between December 1999 and Jan.3.

Groups seek smallpox vaccination delay
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Citing safety concerns, the nation's two largest health care unions want a delay in smallpox vaccinations. But the Bush administration said yesterday it would move ahead as planned, with inoculations to begin next week.
The unions argued that there are not enough safeguards in place to make sure people at higher risk of injury are not vaccinated. And they complain there is nothing in place to adequately compensate people who are hurt by the vaccine.
"Health care workers across the country want to be prepared if a smallpox outbreak occurs," Andrew L. Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, which represents 750,000 health care workers, wrote President Bush yesterday.
"But it is wrong to ask them, their patients and their families to put their health at risk while you have been unwilling to make the plan as safe as possible."
Similar concerns were registered by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents 350.000 health care workers.
Today, the Institute of Medicine plans to release a report advising the administration on implementation of its plan. When they met last month, several members of that panel, mostly academics from schools of medicine and public health, were also critical of the Bush plan, fearing it was being put in place too quickly.
Despite the critiques, the administration is ready to move ahead, said Jerry Hauer, assistant secretary for public health preparedness at the Department of Health and Human Services.
He said the administration was working to address the unions' concerns, though he dismissed the Institute of Medicine as one of many voices. "I didn't pay much attention to the IOM's comments on this." Hauer said in an interview yesterday.
The IOM report was commis

slonied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which said it needed advice in implementing the vaccination plan.
When he announced the vaccination plan, Bush said it was needed to steal the nation against a bioterror attack, though he said there is no imminent threat that smallpox, last seen in 1977, will return.
The first wave of vaccinations are recommended, though not required, for health care workers and people on special smallpox response teams — those most likely to encounter a contagious patient.
Because it is so risky, the vaccine is not recommended for the general public.
Experts estimate that between
15 and 43 out of every million people being vaccinated for the first time will face serious complications, and one or two will die.
The vaccine is particularly risky for pregnant women and those with a history of skin problems or compromised immune systems, including people with HIV, cancer and organ transplant recipients.
The government plans to carefully screen people so no one in these groups is vaccinated. But the unions fear the screenings will not be adequate, particularly given that most states are in financial crises and there is no federal money designated to run the smallpox programs.
"We just want to be sure workers don't come up on the short end of the stick," said Barbara Coufal of AFSCME.
She said that one of the union's largest locals, in Philadelphia, voted not to participate in the program until issues of screening and compensation for people who are injured are worked out.
Relatives of sniper victims file suit
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Relatives of two Washington, D.C.-area sniper victims yesterday sued a gun manufacturer and store linked to the Bushmaster XM15 assault rifle used in the deadly attacks.
The family members of James "Sonny" Buchanan and Conrad Johnson claim the gunmaker and store showed "gross negligence" that caused injuries and death, according to the complaint. The relatives are represented by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
The case, filed in Pierce County
Superior Court in Tacoma, seeks unspecified damages. It names Bull's Eye Shooter Supply of Tacoma, which either sold the rifle or lost it in a theft; store owners Brian Borgelt and Charles Carr; Bushmaster Firearms Inc. of Windham, Maine; and snipier defendants John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo.
The lawsuit alleges that at least 238 guns, including the assault rifle, disappeared from the gun shop in the last three years. Despite audits by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms showing Bull's Eye had dozens of missing guns, Bushmaster continued to use the shop as a dealer the lawsuit alleges.
The Bull's Eye owners didn't return phone calls for comment. Allen Faraday, vice president of administration for Bushmaster, said the company did nothing wrong and that it sold the rifle legally to a firearms dealer.
The plaintiffs' attorney, Paul Luvera, said in a statement that the rifle was used in the sniper attacks less than three months after Bull's Eye received it in its store.
Muhammad and Malvo are accused of killing 13 people and wounding five others in Alabama,
Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland. Virginia and Washington, D.C. They are being tried first in Virginia in separate cases, and both face the death penalty.
Investigators are trying to determine how exactly Muhammad and Malvo wound up with the rifle.
Buchanan, 39, was killed Oct. 3 while mowing grass at a car dealership near White Flint Mall; Johnson, 35, a bus driver, was killed on Oct. 22 in Aspen Hill, Md.
Buchanan's sister, Vickie Snyder of Rockville, Md., said she hopes that, ultimately, there will be more control over who obtains firearms.
Bush speaks about malpractice reform
The Associated Press
SCRANTON, Pa. President Bush said yesterday the amount that injured patients can win from their doctors must be limited.
In the 18th trip he has made to politically important Pennsylvania since his inauguration, Bush called on Congress to quickly deliver on medical malpractice reform to address high insurance costs for doctors.
The president argued that "frivolous and junk lawsuits" are the primary cause of health care costs rising faster than in a decade and doctor shortages that leave patients without care.
"The problem of those unnecessary costs isn't in the waiting room, or the operating room — they're in the courtroom." Bush said in a speech at the University of Scranton in northeastern Pennsylvania. "Everybody's suing, it seems like."
Cappingjuryawards in medical malpractice suits is the answer, the president said. "We need reform all across America and we need a law coming out of the United States Congress," Bush said.
Beforehand, Bush met in private with doctors and officials at Scranton's Mercy Hospital. The hospital is affiliated with a nearby hospital that this week settled a medical malpractice case for $7 million and apologized to the widow who sued over her husband's death.
Any proposal for tort reform cranks up fierce lobbying, and Democrats backed by trial lawyers were aggressively promoting their side more than a day ahead. Interest groups
planned protests, with one holding a sign aloft reading "Protect Children, Not Eli Lilly."
Pennsylvania's Democratic Gov-elect Ed Rendell scheduled a news conference shortly after Bush's appearance.
During last year's campaign season, Bush frequently raised the issue as one he could solve if voters handed him a completely Republican-controlled Congress, which they did.
Bush could also wield the issue in any 2004 run against Sen. John Edwards, a hopeful for the Democratic presidential nomination and a lawyer who made millions trying personal injury lawsuits before he came to Washington. Bush made his last major speech on the matter in Edwards' home state of North Carolina.
Physicians complain that skyrrocketing insurance rates are driving them to close or scale back their practices. That leaves patients confronting doctor shortages or rising health care costs in many communities.
In New Jersey, doctors are planning a partial work stoppage next month to protest soaring malpractice premiums. Surgeons at several West Virginia hospitals walked off the job in protest Jan. 1, but most have returned as a reform bill moves through the state legislature.
In Pennsylvania, scores of hospitals earlier this month narrowly dodged a mass walkout by doctors protesting high insurance costs, which more than doubled last year to as high as $200,000 for some physicians.

Empty warheads found by inspectors in Iraq
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — An inspection team searching bunkers in southern Iraq yesterday found 11 empty chemical warheads that Iraqi officials had not declared to the United Nations, a U.N. spokesman said. Iraq insisted that it had reported the rockets, which it said were old and never used for chemical weapons.
The 122 mm warheads were found in bunkers built in the late 1990s at the Ukhaider Ammunition Storage Area, 75 miles south of Baghdad, Ueki said in a statement. The team examined one of the warheads with X-ray equipment and took away samples for chemical testing, the statement added.
A 12th warhead was also found that needed further evaluation, and samples were taken for chemical testing, said Hiro Ueki, the inspectors' spokesman in Baghdad.
It was not clear if the discovery constituted a "material breach" of the U.N. resolution requiring Iraq to itemize its weapons of mass destruction and their components. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the Bush administration was "aware of the reports and we look forward to receiving information from the inspectors." McClellan would not comment on the significance of the find.
Key questions about the find are whether any chemical weapons were ever loaded into the ordnance, and, if so, when, officials said. Serial numbers on the rockets should tell inspectors where and when they were made.
The United States, which has begun a heavy military buildup in the Persian Gulf, has threatened war on Iraq if it is found to be hiding banned weapons programs. The Iraqi government says it no longer has any chemical, biological or nuclear weapons and submitted a 12,000-page declaration to the United Nations last month that it said proved its case.
Ueki told The Associated Press the shells were not accounted for in Iraq's declaration. "It was a discovery. They were not declared," he said.
But Lt. Gen. Hossam Mohammed Amin, the chief Iraqi liaison officer to the inspection teams, said they were short-range shells imported in 1988 and mentioned in Iraq's report. He expressed "astonishment" over what he called "no more than a storm in a teacup."
Amin said the inspectors found the munitions in a sealed box that had never been opened and was covered by dust and bird droppings.
On Dec. 7, a chemical team secured a dozen artillery shells filled with mustard gas that had first been invented by earlier inspectors in the 1990s. Those were the first weapons of mass destruction brought under inspectors' control in the current search, which began in November.
Inspectors yesterday also searched the homes of two Iraqi scientists in Baghdad, escorting one of them to a field to examine what appeared to be a manmade mound of earth. The scientist, who carried a box of documents as he left his house, was
then taken to the inspectors' hotel along with the documents and Iraqi officials.
Amin said the inspectors also asked to speak privately at their hotel with two other scientists linked to Iraq's weapons programs yesterday, but the scientists refused to be interviewed without Iraqi officials present. The inspectors did not interview the two scientists, whom Amin did not identify.
The homes searched yesterday were those of physicist Faleh Hassan and his next-door neighbor, nuclear scientist Shaker el-Jibouri, in the Baghdad neighborhood of al-Ghazalia.
It was the first time the inspectors have searched private home since they resumed their work. The team searched the homes for six hours, with experts seen going through documents at a table set up near Hassan's front door.
Afterward, Hassan — who is director of al-Razi, a military installation that specializes in laser development — drove with the inspectors and Iraqi officials about 10 miles west of Baghdad to an agricultural area known as al-Salamiyat. There, Hassan, two inspectors and a liaison officer walked to a bare field and examined the mound of earth for about five minutes.
After the visit, a visibly angry el-Jibouri told reporters the inspectors spent two hours in his home — and cordoned it off for much longer — looking into everything.
"This is a provocative operation," he said. "They did not take away any documents but they looked at personal research papers."
Vatican issues new guidelines for Catholic politicians to utilize
The Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican issued a new set of guidelines for Catholic politicians yesterday, reminding them to heed the church's "nonnegotiable" teachings on abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage and other issues when making public policy.
The Vatican said it was publishing the document now because of medical and scientific advances and because of the "emergence of ambiguities or questionable positions in recent times."
The guidelines, prepared by the Vatican's orthodoxy watchdog, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, don't offer any change to the church's long-held opposition to abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage and its promotion of the rights of the unborn
Rather, they serve as a
reminder of church teachings for Catholic politicians, so that when they vote for legislation or otherwise influence public policy, they do so in line with certain "non-negotiable ethical principles."
In particular, the document said laws concerning abortion and euthanasia "must defend the basic right to life from conception to natural death. In the same way, it is necessary to recall the duty to respect and protect the rights of the human embryo."
It said laws safeguarding marriage between man and woman must be promoted and that "in no way can other forms of cohabitation be placed on the same level as marriage, nor can they receive legal recognition as such."
The document also referred vaguely to issues of peace, saying Catholics should not confuse the church's promotion of peace and rejection of violence with "secular" pacifist and ideological
visions.
The guidelines don't mention punishment—such as excommunication —for Catholic politicians who fail to toe the line. Rather, they frame the issue as one of "conscience" that politicians will have to deal with.
"Scientific progress has resulted in advances that are unsettling for the consciences of men and women, and call for solutions that respect ethical principles in a coherent and fundamental way," the document said.
"Catholics, in this difficult situation, have the right and the duty to recall society to a deeper understanding of human life and to the responsibility of everyone in this regard," it said.
The Vatican stressed that it wasn't trying to dictate policy or interfere in matters of state, but to rather "instruct and illuminate" Catholic political leaders.

STUTTGART, Germany — NATO should agree to help with a possible war against Iraq to present a united front against the threat of Iraq's weapons, the second-in-command at the Pentagon said yesterday.
The threat of military action is the only way to persuade Iraq to disarm peacefully, and the more countries that back the United States, the more credible the threat is. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said.
aimed at some of America's NATO allies. Germany, for example, has ruled out participating in any war with Iraq, though it has offered to help provide security at the many U.S. bases in Germany should war break out.
His comments, made during a trip to install a new head of the U.S. European Command, were
Other NATO allies such as Canada have indicated they would only participate in a war if one were explicitly authorized by the U.N. Security Council.
U. S. officials say they do not need another U.N. resolution to attack Iraq, which they say is a direct threat because of its stocks of chemical and biological weapons. Iraq denies it has any such banned weapons,
though U.N. inspectors on yesterday found at least 11 empty chemical warheads that Iraq had not declared.
The United States has asked NATO to provide alliance military help in the event of a war. Such aid could include using naval forces to patrol the eastern Mediterranean, and sending AWACS surveillance planes and Patriot missile batteries to help defend NATO ally Turkey, which borders Iraq's northern tip.
"There are a number of ways in which NATO could contribute, both during and after a conflict, if there has to be one," Wolfowitz said.

Exercising resolutions in the new year
Daniel Sailors, Perry sophomore, and James Howard, Muncie, Ind., sophomore, use the workout facilities at Robinson Center. They said they planned to make fitness a priority in 2003.

After the fabulous food-filled holidays, many students come back to the hill with the New Year's resolutions to get in shape.
The outcome?
"It never works," Leigh Baker, Wellington sophomore, said.
But despite her failure to stick with her resolution in the past, Baker said she was going to try again this year.
"I ran in high school," she said. "I just need to get back into it."
Hillary Friend, Plano, Texas, freshman, said she had found success in the past with keeping up with her exercise resolution until winter came again.
Friend said her motivation for getting in shape was spring break.
James Howard, Muncie, Ind., sophomore, and Daniel Sailors, Perry sophomore, also want to find their way to the gym more often.
"I plan on running and going to the gym," she said.
Howard said he wanted to play basketball to lose weight.
Sailors said he planned to lift weights and use electrical machines, such as the stair climber, to get fit.
Both Howard and Sailors said girls were their main motivation for keeping trim.
For health-cognizant students, there are several options for working out in Lawrence.
Robinson Center is the main on-campus option for students. One of the highlights of Robinson's offerings is free personal trainers for students.
Heather Hellman, KU Fit instructor, said Robinson offered 40 free one-hour sessions per week on a first come, first serve basis. Students are allowed to sign up for two sessions per week and then pay a fee for additional sessions.
frellman said the trainers would assist students by giving them individual attention.
"They plan a program to fit your needs and help you reach your goals," she said.
Hellman also said Robinson would offer new KU Fit classes this semester, with new times and instructors. Robinson will sponsor an intramural basketball tournament at the beginning of the semester and other intramural sports and tournaments throughout the semester.
Students also have the option to join an off-campus gym.
Shannon Garner, manager of the
Lawrence Athletic Club's north and south locations and the assistant aerobic coordinator, said her club offered classes in aerobics and yoga.
For students, Garner said she thought the dance aerobic classes and yoga booty ballet class would be especially appealing.
An off-campus option without membership fees is the Lawrence Parks and Recreation facilities.
Tim Laurent, facility operations supervisor, said they offered two different weight rooms that were free for students at the East Lawrence Center and Holcom Park Recreation Center.
If students want to play basketball in the gym, Laurent said the centers offered open play times.

ered engine and a nickel-metal battery, according to Toyota. At a stop, the gas engine will shut off completely, but, like a golf cart, depressing the accelerator engages the engine again. Each 10-gallon gas tank can carry the car around town for more than 450 miles. Jimenez estimates that he has filled up around 15 times since he began using the car for housing inspections last March.
Those numbers are exactly
what city manager Mike Wildgen and city garage manager Steve Stewart were looking for when they began shopping for a hybrid car more than a year ago.
"We need to be real environmentally conscious here anyway. We are so close to Kansas City and there are several areas of concern up there," Stewart said.
The hybrid cars have turned out to help more than the environment. With each one costing about $20,000 through a Toyota-offered subsidy program, and doubling the fuel efficiency of other city vehicles, the benefits are starting to show up on the city's strapped books. too
"I'm sure it's already made an impact in the fuel budget for building inspection since they've got two of the cars," Stewart said. "I don't know whether they will realize that until next year when they've had a chance to compare numbers. Of course everything we can do to save on the fuel budget helps now."

"There is no one key factor there that's more important than the others." Long said. "They all add up."

One factor that made the decision easier was the condition of roads on campus. Because of Wednesday night's men's basketball game, campus crews were
treating streets and sidewalks as the snow fell, said Larry Rawlings, assistant director of facilities operations and construction. The pretreatment left less to clean up when plowing began at 3 a.m.yesterday.
"We have a lot of hills up here so we have to get after it early," Rawlings said. "If they aren't clear, we're going to hear about it first up here."
Screams of a different sort could be heard on Campanile hill where Lawrence residents took advantage of the snow and the day off to get in some sledding
before the snow melts.
Graduate research assistant Dev Ravindran, who is from a part of southern India that rarely receives snow, got school out of the way before he made his inaugural run on his sled.
"I've never been sledding before, so I didn't really know what I was missing." Ravindran said as he eyed his second run down the hill. "I like it though. Next time I might have to skip class."

Social service groups warn reductions could be harmful
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Reductions in state payments for services to disabled Kansans will hurt service providers and their clients alike, a lawyer said in trying to persuade a judge to block the cuts from taking effect today.
But an attorney for the state countered yesterday that budget decisions were the province of the executive and legislative branches and should not be subject to court interference.
Shawnee County District Judge Frank Theis must now decide whether to bar the state Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services from reducing its reimbursements to groups that serve the developmentally disabled.
After hearing final arguments yesterday, Theis said it was unlikely he would rule on the request for a temporary restraining order before today, when SRS begins issuing the smaller reimbursement checks.
Five service agencies from around the state sought the order after SRS, under then-Gov. Bill Graves' emergency directive Nov. 25, made plans to cut $26.6 million from its $2.1 billion budget.
Two-thirds of the cuts would be restored on July 1, when the next fiscal year begins, under a budget proposed Wednesday by new Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
But an official of the statewide advocacy group Interhab said the legal fight would continue anyway. Interhab executive director Tom Laing said Sebelius' plan would still leave SRS with one-third less money than expected in the current budget year.
"We can't walk away from the funding that we need," Laing added.
Service providers will lose $6 million in budgeted funds between now and July 1 under the cuts taking effect today, according to Interhab.
The providers also fear they could lose their licenses if they failed to serve clients adequately and were accused of abuse, neglect and exploitation, he said.
"If we can't comply with the legal duty of serving people, we'll lose our license. And if we lose our license, people won't get services anymore," Murrow said.
But attorneys for the state questioned whether the service groups had the legal right to sue as advocates for the disabled. They also argued that the court had no role in a budget matter.

Wildcats looking to upset
By John Domoney
jdomoney@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The last time Kansas State defeated Kansas in men's basketball, Dana Altman was coaching the Wildcats, Kirk Hinrich was 13 years old and Kansas coach Roy Williams was still several years away from his 200th victory as a collegiate head coach.
Opponent:
Kansas State
Game Time: 7
p.m. Tomorrow
Location: Allen

TV: WIBW
channel 13
Radio: IHK
90.7, KLJR 105.9,
KDVV100.3
The date was Jan. 17, 1994, when the wales upset the Jayhawks 68-64 in Lawrence. Fast forward nine years, and Altman is coaching No. 13 Creighton University, Hinrich is a preseason All-American for the Jayhawks, and Roy
Williams is fresh off his 400th coaching victory after Wednesday night's 98-70 victory over Woming.
As the Jayhawks and Wildcats prepare to meet for the 251st time at 7:00 pm tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse, the Wildcats are searching for their first win against the rival Jayhawks in 24 games.
The situation looked bleak at the opening of practice for the Wildcats and Woolridge as his squad was fresh off a 13-16 campaign in 2001-02. K-State was picked by coaches and the media in the Big 12 preseason polls for 11th place, but so far this season Kansas State has displayed a renewed vigor on the court. The Wildcats come to Lawrence with a 10-5 record overall and a 1-1 record in Big 12 Conference play.
After starting the year 0-2 with losses to Brigham Young and Toledo at the Paradise Jam Tournament, the Wildcats have righted the ship with victories in 10 of their last 13 games.
The most significant victory of the season for K-State came Saturday, a 68-44 victory over Bobby Knight's Texas Tech squad.
"In 21/2 years here, we feel like we've made some progress," coach Jim Woolridge told reporters after the Texas Tech game. "Sometimes it's been minuscule. But this team has a chance to give us the ability to move forward."
Moving forward has been the theme for Kansas ever since sophomore forward Wayne Simien was injured against Missouri-Kansas City on Jan. 4.
Since the 100-46 victory against the Kangaroos, the Jayhawks have reeled off three straight victories by an average margin of 29.2 points per game.
Much of the recent success for Kansas can be attributed to starting big men senior Nick Collison and junior Jeff Graves.
Collison is averaging 23 points and nine rebounds over the last three games, and Graves has recorded double doubles in three of the past four games since he entered the starting lineup for the injured Simien.
Collison and Graves will be part of the Kansas defense that will be challenged by senior forward Gilson DeJesus and senior forward Pervis Pasco. DeJesus has become a potent weapon in the Wildcat offense, while Pasco is near the top of the Big 12 with five double-double games.
Even as the Jayhawks bring a ninegame winning streak and a 12-3 record overall into tomorrow's game, Williams realizes the Wildcats are a team with something to prove after their 69-63 road loss to Colorado on Wednesday.
"I believe they do have something going." Williams said. "I said last year, about Jimmy's club, I thought they were very coached and that they just didn't get very many breaks and the good things didn't happen for them at the right times when they could really use it."

Gimmicks avoided in athlete promotion
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan writer
If a Kansas athlete warrants award recognition, his or her likeness will not scream at voters from an expensive billboard.
Doug Vance, associate athletics director of communications, said the athletics department preferred to promote players more subtly.
"We have never taken the Madison Avenue-type approach by utilizing gimmicks," Vance said. "We just communicate through the right channels to the people who vote."
College football award promotion history is filled with colleges going an extra step to help players attain awards. Former Brigham Young Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer aided his status by sending ties to sportswriters. Ryan Leaf, Washington State quarterback, sent envelopes that contained leaves to voters.
Promotion of a player through puns on his name is a common tactic, Vance said.
In 2001, the University of Oregon spent $500,000 on award campaigns for its football team, including a $250,000 10-story billboard in Times Square dubbing quarterback Joey Harrington "Joey Heisman." Alumni donated money for the campaign.
For KU quarterback Bill Whittemore's campaign, Vance said that KU promoted him through the right connections to make his statistics and strong play known to the media. Whittemore finished the year winning the Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year award.
Vance said that when it comes to Kansas basketball, players are a much easier sell.

Freshman guard Erica Hallman leads the women's basketball team in assists with four per game. The Jayhawks will host Colorado tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse.
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan Sportswriter
In recent memory, the thought of playing the Colorado Buffaloes has brought nothing but pain for the Kansas women's basketball team.
The Jayhawks are looking not only to notch their first Big 12 Conference victory this year tomorrow, but they also would like to snap their four-game losing skid to the Buffs.
Youth and inexperience has been both a blessing and a problem early in the season for Kansas, but according to coach Marian Washington, that can no longer be an excuse.
"We can't think about our youth," Washington said. "We have to get past that and we are. There are going to be some things they tend to do, unfortunately."
One way that youth will play into Kansas' favor is the fact that few members of this year's team were present for two blowout losses last season against Colorado.
In the two games against the Buffaloes last season, Kansas was outscored 150-76.
A nagging problem so far in the conference season for the Jayhawks has been solid play from their leaders.
In Wednesday night's loss at Oklahoma State, freshman forward Tamara Ransburg, who leads the team in rebounds and blocked shots, and ranks second in scoring, fouled out late in the second half. The loss of Ransburg helped cripple any chances of finishing off a 21-point comeback.
"For us to win, we have to get
performances from some of our key players," Washington said. "We have to be able to stay disciplined late in games."
In preparation for tomorrow's contest, coach Washington has hammered into her players' heads that they cannot allow a repeat of Wednesday's situation that saw her team fall behind by 21 points.
"In order for us to win, we have to execute both early and in the stretch," freshman guard Erica Hallman said. "We've definitely got to step up on defense."
Another trend to look at within the team is the shuffling that is underway in the starting lineup.
In Wednesday's contest, freshman forward Nichelle Roberts replaced fellow freshman Crystal Kemp for the starting nod following a series of strong outings off the bench.
Opponent: Colorado
Game Time: 1:05 p.m. Tomorrow
Location: Allen Fieldhouse
Radio: KJHK 80.7, KLVN 1320 AM
The next change may be the insertion of Hallman into the lineup. Hallman had 17 points against Oklahoma State and has provided a spark off the bench when healthy all season.
"There's no question we'll be looking at Erica Hallman," Washington said. "I think that she's one of our better shooters."
The young Jayhawks have found it tough to consistently click as a whole so far this year, but should it happen tomorrow, look for a 20- game conference losing streak to come to an end.

Graves leaves the doghouse, becomes big-time player
With one leap and one awkward jammed arm into the rim, sophomore Wayne Simien made Kansas realize its worst fears on Jan. 4 against the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
The recipe for success this year was not scientific. Stay healthy and stay in the Big 12 conference and national title hunts. Get one of the five starters injured and pray — because bench help would be sparse at best.
So after the injury, it was as if most Jayhawk followers believed the season

By failing to pass the team's required conditioning, Graves did not become an "official team member" until after Kansas' exhibition games. Once the season started, the disappointing trend continued.
J-Rizzle, as Graves is known by his teammates, looked more like J-Fizzle with his sloppy and lazy play. Graves was on his way to fizzling out of Williams' favor, as he always seemed confused, never comfortable in Kansas' fast-paced,
non-stop attack.
But slowly, Graves started to shed weight. He gained his wind back. And most importantly, he regained Williams' confidence.
Against UMKC, Graves immediately stepped in following Simien's injury, posting his first career double-double. Since then, he's posted two more and overall has registered four double-digit rebounding games.

Kansas can't take K-State for granted
Kansas hasn't lost to Kansas State since 1994 and has won each of the last three meetings by more than 25 points. A few more losses at the hands of the Jayhawks and the Wildcats might be getting recruiting calls from the Washington Generals.
Death, taxes and beating Kansas State: three things Kansas basketball fans can always count on. The Jayhawks take on the Wildcats tomorrow night at Allen Fieldhouse and will look to extend their winning streak against their in-state rival to a staggering 23 straight games.
So we can take a victory to the bank, right? Well, maybe not.
K-State is hot and has won nine of its last 11 games. The Wildcats have held their last four opponents to under 39 percent. Other than Oklahoma, Kansas State has the best defense in the Big 12 Conference and will set out to frustrate the Jayhawks by attempting to slow the pace of the game. But K-State has offensive weapons, too. They have four scorers averaging more than 10 points per game and have the size down low to be physical with the Jayhawks and match them on the boards.
The Jayhawks take on the Wildcats tomorrow night at Allen Fieldhouse and will look to extend their winning streak against their instate rival to a staggering 23 straight games.
Last week no one, including myself thought very much of these Wildcats. Their seven-game winning streak included victories over powerhouses Monmouth, Texas Pan American, Arkansas Pine Bluff and David Lipscomb. David Lipscomb? I'm still not sure whether K-State beat an actual team or just one guy, but the point remains that the Wildcats' non-conference schedule was less than impressive.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2003
K-State did gain some respect last week after the 24-point whipping they put on Texas Tech in its conference home opener.
K-State guards Gilson Dejesus and Tim Ellis led the way and could pose problems for Kansas on Saturday night. The Jayhawks have been prone to good three-point shooting at times this year, and the Wildcats could expose this weakness in their bid for an upset.
DeJesus and Ellis both shoot 52 percent from behind the arc, which ranks them No.19 and No.21 in the nation respectively, and Kansas State shoots a blistering 42 percent as a team. Either way, Kansas better be ready, or Jayhawk fans will have one less thing they can count on.

Refreshed swimmers to compete

Intense winter training has left the Kansas swimming and diving team both refreshed and tanned.
Kansas recently took a trip to Acapulco, Mexico, as part of its annual winter training camp. The team competed in a dual against No. 17 Notre Dame on Jan. 6, losing the event 129-69. Kansas took
first place in two events: sophomore Amy Gruber in the 50 freestyle and the 200 medley relay
The Jayhawks will resume their season in a dual tomorrow at noon against Nebraska and Louisville in Lincoln, Neb.
Nebraska is 1-6 in dual meets this season. Louisville is 1-5.
"We had a good period of real focused work," coach Clark Campbell said. "The trip was used to get them energized. We got some dual meets to better ourselves for the Big 12 Championships."
Last season, Kansas defeated Nebraska 185-94 at Robinson Natatorium.
"We can't underestimate Nebraska and Louisville because everything changes from year to year," senior Gwen Haley said. "Last year's win gives confidence, but we're also putting our best lineup forward."

Selig looks to liven All-Star game
The Associated Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Baseball owners appear to agree with commissioner Bud Selig's proposal to have the league that wins the All-Star game get home-field advantage in the World Series.
"The game has lost importance. It's turned into an exhibition." Montreal Expos president Tony Tavares said Wednesday. "Last year was embarrassing and difficult."
Seig came up with the plan following last year's All-Star game, which ended in a 7-7, 11-inning tie when both leagues ran out of players. Owners were to vote on it yesterday.
"It will put back a little of the sizzle." San Francisco executive vice president Larry Baer said.
In recent years, as the differences between the American and National leagues lessened because of increased player mobility and interleague play, many players have treated the All-Star game as a show rather than a game.
Since the start of the World Series in 1903, home field has alternated between the leagues.
The change is strongly backed by Fox, which holds baseball's national television rights. It also needs approval of the players' association.
"We've been discussing it with players," union head Donald Fehr said. "We know they're interested in it, and we'll get back to them."
Some veteran players are against it, including New York Mets pitcher Tom Glavine, the National League player representative.
"It's not something I'm in favor of," he told The New York Times. "I would find it hard to believe that most players would want the outcome of the All-Star game to determine home-field advantage for the World Series."
As the two-day meeting began Wednesday, the committee on the future of the Montreal Expos met. Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos said he remained opposed to a move to the
Washington, D.C., area.
Downtown Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia are among the areas that have groups ready to bid for the Expos, who were bought last year by the other 29 major league teams.
Groups from Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Portland, Ore., remain the favorites to land the Expos, who would be the first team to move since the expansion Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers after the 1971 season.
People in other areas have expressed interest, such as Mexico City and San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the Expos will play 22 home games this season in an effort to increase revenue. While those areas may be allowed to meet with the committee, baseball views them as more likely for a future franchise than for the Expos in 2004.
Tavares said the bidders from the Washington, D.C., area and Portland appeared to be ahead of the other areas because they had stadium plans.
NFL officiating steals spotlight in games

officials, this year's debate is even louder.
"There's no automatic cure for the officiating," Baltimore owner Art Modell said. "They're human and the players are human, too. They all do the best they can."
PHILADELPHIA — The men wearing stripes are getting all the attention on NFL fields these days, thanks to a series of blunders and questioned calls at the most important time of the season.
Officiating disputes are a weekly rite during the NFL season and intensify during the playoffs. But because commissioner Paul Tagliabue publicly criticized
In an unusual admission, the league said officials blew a pass-interference call at the end of the Jan. 5 playoff game between the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers. The Giants would have had one more play to try win the game if the call had been made.
Tagliabue said it was the worst "failing" in his 13 years on the job.
Others believe the officiating is just fine.
"I'm personally not disappointed or concerned," Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher said. "I think right now it's probably as good as it's been."
Fisher was on the sideline last weekend when his team kicked the overtime field goal to beat Pittsburgh 36-53, leaving Steelers coach Bill Cowher furious. He charged after referee Ron Blum to protest a penalty that gave the Titans a second shot at the game-winner.
Everyone from fans to talk-show hosts to owners have proposed officiating changes.
But any changes to officiating would be decided at the owners' meetings in March.
"I think we've got to take a hard look at it," said Oakland defensive end Trace Armstrong, president of the players' union.

These aren't the Wildcats you would have seen even last year, Jim Woolridge injected a new attitude into the Kansas State program over the past couple of seasons and now the talent level in Manhattan is catching up. A perfect example of the new toughness of Kansas State is the win over Texas Tech in Bramlage. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they have to travel to Allen Fieldhouse where the Jayhawks are

Former Jayhawk forward Drew Gooden will return to Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday to have his jersey retired at halftime. Gooden skipped his senior year to play professionally for the Memphis Grizzlies this season.
Gooden comes back to retire jersey
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
One of the best basketball players to walk onto the court tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse won't be wearing a uniform.
Former Jayhawk standout Drew Gooden will take a break from his day job as a member of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies to have his jersey retired at halftime of the 7 p.m. game against Kansas State.
If Kansas fans had their way, the 6-foot-10 forward would have his number 0 announced during starter introductions, not in a halftime ceremony. After being named an All-American and co-national Player of the Year with Duke's Jason Williams, Gooden elected to skip his senior season and enter the NBA draft early.
So far, it seems to have been a good decision. The Grizzlies made him a millionaire at age 20 when they selected him with the fourth pick in the draft. Gooden has responded by averaging 13 points and 5.8 rebounds per game this season, and he has been mentioned in the media as a candidate for NBA Rookie of the Year honors.
Gaudy numbers are nothing new for Gooden. In three seasons at Kansas, he became only the second player in Kansas history, along with former NBA All-Star Danny Manning, to record at least 1,500 points, 900 rebounds, 100 blocks and 100 steals. He ranks No. 12 on the Jayhawks' all-time scoring list and fifth on the rebound list.
More than the statistics, his former teammates remember Gooden for his vocal leadership
"I expect a lot of jokes. That's all he does is make a lot of jokes and have a good time."
Kirk Hinrich Senior guard
and colorful personality. Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich was already looking forward to Gooden's return after Wednesday's victory against Wyoming.
"I expect a lot of jokes." Hinrich said. "That's all he does is make a lot of jokes and have a good time."
Gooden has not abandoned his education. When he made his announcement to forgo his senior season, he said that would graduate from the University some day. He moved closer to that goal
when he completed nine hours in the fall semester, Kansas coach Roy Williams said during his weekly radio show.
Gooden will be the fifth player to have his jersey retired this season. Jacque Vaughn of the Orlando Magic had his jersey retired at halftime of the California-Los Angeles game on Dec. 21. Tus Ackerman, Gale Gordon, Fred Pralle and Al Peterson all participated in a ceremony to retire their numbers during Wednesday's game. There will be four more ceremonies this season honoring former Jayhawks, including Boston Celtics small forward Paul Pierce during a Jan. 25 game against Arizona and Dallas Mavericks forward/center Raef LaFrentz on Feb. 16 against Iowa State.
Kansas eyes narrow lead against Colorado

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team will try to hold on to the all-time series lead when they host Colorado tomorrow.
The Jayhawks hold a slim 25-24 series lead over the Buffaloes and have won 12 of the 21 games played in Lawrence, but have dropped four straight against their Big 12 rival. Despite recent troubles with the Bufs, and the Big 12 in general, coach Marian Washington sees the tides turning for her team.
"We're trying to find ways to get better as a team," Washington said. "We've been in ball games with teams, like Iowa State and Oklahoma State, that beat us up last year."
Colorado was one of those teams that beat up on Kansas last season.
The Buffaloes pounded the Jayhawks 70-35 in Lawrence and routed them 80-41 in Boulder. Last season Colorado was by far the more experienced of the teams, but this season that gap has narrowed.
"We are very young, but this year they are just about as young as we are." said former Kansas player K.C. Hilgenkamp, who played against Colorado the last two seasons. "But, they are still a bunch of players who will get at you and work hard."
Where they will get at the Jayhawks is on the defensive end of the court.
"You'll see a team that will focus on
defense," Washington said. "They are very strong defensively and you have to be very patient against them. Defense and rebounding are the key areas."
Colorado isn't exactly a slouch offensively either. They have three players averaging double figures in scoring including junior center Tera Bjorklund, who is scoring 16.3 points an outing.
"They run a three post offense," Washington said. "Bjorklund, she knows what to do with the ball down low."
The Kansas guards will need to step up defensively. The Buffaloes are No. 8 in the nation in three point percentage.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 17).
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5.
You're notoriously terrible at keeping secrets. That's part of your charm. This time, it's OK not to tell all you know. You'll get a better deal that way.
Old fears fade this year as you achieve the success you've been after. Once you finish a project you've been working on, the next step up appears if by magic. You may have to revise your idea of who you are.
Aries (March 21- April 19). Today is a 5. Spend as much time close to home as you can. It's good for you, and for whomever else is there. Meaningful conversation is unnecessary. Hanging out together can be healing.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
Should you go all the way over there, or have them all come over here? For you, here would be more comfortable, and they probably don't even care.
--virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22). Today is an 8. You've recently had a great idea for fixing up your home. Act on it in order to free up more time for romance and significant conversations.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
Stand up for your point of view,and for yourself, even under heavy criticism. Tough it out and gain their respect — and maybe their agreement.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
You may be receiving contradictory orders. Or maybe there's a discrepancy between what's being said and what's being done. You'll be in a better position to put things right Monday if your attempts now are unsatisfactory.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 5.
Everybody's competing for your
time and attention. Focus on each
person long enough to hear and
understand. Then hide out with a
good book.
Scorpio (Oct, 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
Others would love to take a turn at
solving all your problems. Are you in the mood to hear all their helpful comments? If not, don't complain.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
You have a vagabond side to your character, but it never hurts to be practical, too. You can get a lot further with a nice wad of cash in the bank. Work on that.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
Old wounds can get in the way of progress. You may not be able to make them disappear completely, but you can use what you've learned to help others.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Pisces(Feb.19-March20): Today is a7,
Old grudges you've forgiven have made you much stronger. That strength is the gift you give now.
One who can't put feelings into words needs your compassion.

Track teams race to early victories in meet
By Chris Wintering
cwintering@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field teams have gotten off to a fast start in the indoor season. The men's and women's teams won their opening meets, the KSU Invitational on Jan. 10-11.
The women's team set the tone in the first day of competition by defeating Kansas State 87-67 in its dual meet. The men's team followed up that performance by defeating Kansas State. Emporia State, Oklahoma State and Southern Methodist on the final day of the meet.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he
was looking forward to a good year and was happy with the team's performance in the first meet.
"It was a total team effort and everyone competed well," Redwine said. "We went into the first meet with a goal to see where we were and everyone stepped up."
Sophomore Sondra Rauterkus placed second in the high jump with a leap of 5-10, which provisionally qualified her for the NCAA Indoor Championships on March 14-15 in Fayetteville, Ark.
"That jump will give her a lot of confidence," said vertical jumps coach Brian Ferry. "That confidence will help her and the team in big meets."
Anson jackson provisionally qualified in the 60-meter hurdles with his second-place time of 7.95 seconds. Redwine said Anson also set the school record for the event.
Along with Rauterkus, senior
"It is exceptional to have an athlete set a record in the first meet of the year because typically you peak later in the season," Redwine said. "We know Anson will continue to improve."
Jackson also won the long jump with a jump of 22-10 1/2. Six other Kansas men won events including senior Benaud Shirley in the triple jump (49-4 1/4), senior Jeremy Hull in the pole vault (16-4 3/4), and sophomore T.J. Hackler in the high jump (6-11).
The team did not have any athletes compete in the shot put and weight throw, which were the only two field events not won by a lavhawk.
Sophomore Jeremy Mims won the 800-meter run with a time of 1 minute, 54.01 seconds and freshman Joshy Madathil won the 3,000-meter run with a time of 8:49:45. Junior Leo Bookman won the 60-meter dash by running 6.91 seconds to round out the men's team winners.
The women's team swept the 1,000-meter run with junior Arrah Nielsen and freshman Jenna Bimbi finishing first and second, respectively. Juniors Paige Higgins, sophomore Lauren Brownrigg and senior Eve Lamborn finished first, second and third, respectively, in the 3,000-meter run. Junior Robbie Harriford won the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.66 seconds. Freshman Yvonne Calzonetti won the pole vault by jumping 11-9/3 4 for the women's team.
"We were pleasantly surprised by the first meet and hope to improve from there," Redwine said. "We do understand that it was only the first meet."
The men's and women's teams return to host the KU/KSU/MU Triangular Jan. 24 in the Anschutz Sports Pavilion.

Against UMKC; Graves immediately stepped in following Simien's injury, posting his first career double-double. Since then, he's posted two more and overall has registered four double-digit rebounding games.
All of a sudden, he's J-Surprizezle. Wednesday night, Graves sets the tone for a stingy Kansas
defensive effort, with 10 rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots. His career night warped his earlier lackadaisical play into a memory.
Matched up with Wyoming center Uche Nsonwu-Amadi, the Cowboys'leading scorer and one of the nation's most physically chiseled big men, Graves more than held his own.
He flew to the ground and out of bounds for loose balls. He denied Nsonwu-Amadi post-
position and repeatedly boxed him out for rebounds. He hustled from off the ball to swat away shots and sacrificed his body to steal passes.
The Kansas defense thrived off of Graves' defensive energy. Graves began two highlight-reel fast breaks when he pinned a Wyoming lay-up attempt off the glass and knocked the ball away from Nsonwu-Amadi on consecutive possessions.
The second forced turnover
ended with Keith Langford bringing the house down off a half-court alley-oop from Kirk Hinrich.
Oh, and Graves added a career-best 14 points to boot. A turnaround of these proportions for Graves was unimaginable two months ago. On the surface, he was incorrigible, appearing unwilling to adapt to the harsh realities of Division I basketball. Deep down, Graves said he was merely adjusting, waiting for his
physical condition to improve.
Now, a once dire situation appears to be positive, almost beneficial to Kansas. Simien's absence now acts as a blessing in disguise. Simien's time away has injected life into Graves, transforming him into a competent starter and — if Simien returns—a fantastic complementary bench player.

play in front of a national audience, and that gives the players a stage and form to convince the voters." Vance said.
One of the main promotions for basketball players Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison was the "Old School" campaign run by KU Media Relations. Vance said that it was meant as a promotion for the program, but it wound up helping Hinrich and Collison.
Promotion CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"Sports Illustrated wound up doing a massive article on them talking about how fundamentally sound they were." Vance said.
Collison said that it was hard not to think about the possibility of awards.
"It's something that we think about a little bit and we'd like those honors as much as anyone else," Collison said. "But at the same time we realize that if we play well and help the team that those things are going to come, too."
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, said that players winning awards was also important for coaches and the athletics programs in general.
"Jeff Tedford, who developed three or four award-winning quarterbacks at Oregon, became the head coach at California this year because of his work there," Bohl said.

Phelpses protest MLKspeech
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
On a day celebrating diversity, protesters, led by two of Fred Phelps' daughters, gathered outside the Lied Center yesterday to decry homosexuality and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s memory in their own way.
"We're celebrating Martin Luther King," said Elizabeth Phelps, Topeka resident and daughter of anti-gay rights activist Fred Phelps. "He was a righteous man. The fags have hijacked his freedom
train."
Elizabeth Phelps and about 15 others gathered outside the Lied Center yesterday as people arrived to attend Martin Luther King Jr. Day ceremonies sponsored by the University and the Ecumenical Fellowship, Inc.
About 20 feet from protesters led by Phelps, about 25 people gathered to preach diversity and acceptance, presenting a stark contrast outside the Lied Center.
"We're here because of Martin Luther King Jr." said Claudia Bode, project coordinator of biology. "This point of
today is to celebrate his message, which was diversity and acceptance."
Abigail Phelps, another daughter of Fred Phelps, said she disagreed with Bode and others from the group preaching diversity because she did not interpret King's message as all-inclusive.
"He said 'I have a dream that a man should be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character,'" she said. "Being a fag means something is wrong with your character."

Speaker encourages hard work
By Henry C. Jackson

Kansan staff writer
As a first grader growing up in Long Branch, N.J., Yvonne Thornton and her sisters played in a rhythm and blues band called the "Thornton Sisters." The sisters achieved a fair amount of success with their five-piece ensemble, including appearances on Ted Mack and the Original Amateur Hour, a six-week stint at the Apollo Theater and, eventually, several years of lucrative tours of the East Coast.
But, as Thornton noted in her keynote address at Martin Luther King Day celebrations yesterday at the Lied Center, you might lose your voice someday, so it's a very good idea to get an education.
In her speech, which focused on persevering despite obstacles, Thornton
"As a child, you never know what your parents go through,what they sacrificed to keep you going."

faced a variety of obstacles growing up.
Thornton said her parents helped her overcome low expectations by encouraging her and at times, pestering her. Thornton's speech emphasized the impact of her parents and how important parenting is.
"My sisters and I looked like the sisters of Buckwheat," Thornton said, referring to the familiar African-American character from The Little Rascals. "Plus, we were women, and we were black."
"As a child, you never know what your parents go through, what they sacrificed to keep you going." Thornton said. "No amount of success in your profession can make up for your failures at home."
When asked about her own parenting style, Thornton was blunt.

Sidewalk graffiti remains until it's weathered away
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
- Black spraypaint bearing the message "Jesse Garcia is a rapist" is visible to passers-by on the sidewalk between Watson Library and Stauffer-Flint Hall.
The message has slightly faded, but it will remain visible until weather wears it away because no policy exists at the University of Kansas preventing writing on horizontal surfaces. Also, no one is responsible for handling messages that may be offensive.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, said any writing on the sidewalk, whether done in chalk or another permanent material, was left alone unless the department received a call from the office of the provost to remove it. Facilities Operations removes only graffiti written on vertical surfaces or buildings.
Jim Long, vice-provost of facilities planning and management, said no specific individual exists in the office who made decisions regarding offensive statements.
Danny Kaiser, University Events Committee chair, said the committee asked people to use chalk designed for sidewalk writing and to do so in open, uncovered areas where it could be washed away by the weather. Kaiser said the University had no restrictions as to what organizations or events could advertise.
"We don't have a policy, and as long as we don't have problems, there is no need for a policy. If you have a policy, you have to enforce it," Kaiser said.
Kaiser said he was not aware of any problems recently regarding offensive statements.
Amber Henry, KU Ambassadors
Coordinator, said she had never
"There is no one in charge of erasing offensive messages or assigned the responsibility of determining what writing should be erased."
Jim Long Vice-provost of favilities planning and management
heard of any prospective students or their parents who had problems with messages on the sidewalk or offensive statements.
Henry had mixed feelings about the University policy on sidewalk writing and the possibility of offensive statements.
"I think it would reflect poorly and parents may be concerned, but I'd rather have people have the right to write that message," she said. "It's not exactly the message we want to convey, but at the same time it could be contradictory with the University, which we are representing as open to many different people."
A similar incident of sidewalk writing occurred about two years ago. Chase Richards, director of Queers and Allies, said the University removed graffiti written for National Coming Out Day.
"The fact that there isn't a policy is a problem," he said. "There were things you would expect to violate that policy if there were one. The problem was that a lot of messages were removed along with the offensive ones."
Richards said he would like to see a policy that included a stipulation that non-offensive messages would not be removed.

Hundreds of Lawrence protesters rally against war with Iraq
AND LENDER
Anti-war protesters march down Massachusetts Street Saturday. Thousands demonstrated in Washington as 650 people gathered to protest in Lawrence. The Organization of Lawrence Anti-imperialists, organized the march from Buford Park, Sixth and Kentucky Streets, to the Douglas County Courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts Streets.

About 650 demonstrators gathered in front of the Douglas County Courthouse Saturday to take part in the largest anti-war protest in Lawrence in the last 19 weeks.
Across the country, Saturday was recognized as a national day of demonstration and approximately tens of thousands of people protested in Washington, D.C., according to The Washington Post.
In Lawrence, several groups were involved in the demonstration at the courthouse, including the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, the Black Cat Collective, Women in Black and Organization of Lawrence Anti-Imperialists.
"This has been the most diverse crowd we have had," said Allan Hanson,
The Organization of Lawrence Anti-Imperialists, OLAI, organized a march down Massachusetts Street to meet the other protesters at the courthouse. Demonstrators marched with OLAI from Buford M. Watson Jr. Park, Sixth and Kentucky streets, to the courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts streets.
The demonstrators held such signs that said "Drop Bush not Bombs."Ethan Fosse, Manhattan senior, said he had several reasons for opposing a war with Iraq.
"I think that a lot of people don't realize how many people oppose going to war," Fosse said.
Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice coordinator.
Hanson said the protest was a success and that he was surprised at the number of people that came. Hanson said the largest previous protest in Lawrence was 300 people.
For the past 19 weeks, the Lawrence
Coalition for Peace and Justice has held a peace vigil on Saturdays at the Douglas County Courthouse. Hanson said that in the 28-year history of the Coalition, no demonstration had lasted as long as the protest of war in Iraq. Hanson said one reason people were demonstrating persistently was because many of them regretted not protesting the Vietnam War earlier.
Read about students at the Washington D.C. march. See page 6A.

Tristen Desetti, a recent recruit in the United States Marine Corps., said he did not agree with the demonstrators, but that he was at the rally to protect their right to protest.
"I think it is utterly stupid that they are protesting war on oil, but that's not the story," Desetti said.

Four Kappa Sigma members receive acknowledgment
Four members of the KU chapter of Kappa Sigma fraternity received the Scholarship-Leadership Award from the Kappa Sigma Endowment Fund. The awards break down into the following nationwide categories: Named Award ($2,500); $1,000 Award; $500 Award; and the non-cash Certificate of Merit.
Christopher Hartley, Lenexa senior, won a $500 Award; Jason Plagman, Storm Lake, Iowa, junior won a $500 Award; Brian Raggett, Overland Park junior, won a $500 Award; and Timothy Donnally, Lawrence senior, won a Certificate of Merit.
These students were four out of 336 who received awards and 843 who applied.
The awards were made by a commission that based its decision on aca
demic performance, campus leadership and fraternity involvement. The awards were made possible by alumni donations.
"I'm glad to be awarded by nationals. I was grateful that our fraternity has such great alumni," Plagman said.

College endowments last year turned in their worst performance since 1974, a stark contrast to the investment boom of the 1990s and a financial blow at a time when many public schools are losing state aid.
The average college endowment shrank 6 percent in the fiscal year ending June 30,2002, according to a survey of 660 institutions to be released today by the National Association of College and University Business Officers.
The findings matched those of another study released last month by Commonfund Institute.
It was the first back-to-back decline since Washington-based NACUBO began its survey in 1971. The 2001 survey showed an average decline of 3.6 percent.
Belt-tightening is evident at schools such as Boston University, with 29,000 students, which is laying off faculty, and tiny Hillsdale College in Michigan, which is cutting four varsity sports teams. Even wealthy schools like Dartmouth, Duke and Stanford have been forced to cut costs.

FedEx, Harrah's among those at job fair
By Nicole Roché
nroche@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Most employers focus on experience and references. But Brian Beatty is just looking for someone with careful hands.
As collection manager for the Snow Entomology Museum, Beatty hires students to work with insects,a job that requires attention to detail.
Beatty will meet with students tomorrow at the Spring Student Job Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the fourth-floor lobby in the Kansas Union.
"We're probably one of the stranger businesses that will be there," he said. "We have to ask the basic entomology question:
'Do insects bother you?'""
Ann Hartley, associate director for University Career and Employment Services, said there would be about 20 employers from campus departments and off-campus businesses.
Megan Crockett, St. Joseph, Mo., senior, said she brought about 30 resumés to the fall career fair, and 18 employers called her for interviews.
"Posting a resume on Monster.com is only about 3 percent effective," Crockett said. "At a career fair, you can find businesses who are already hiring for your major, instead of you going after them."
Crockett accepted a position as a territorial sales manager at
Philip Morris and will start after graduation this May.
Crockett took a 600-level business course that outlined what to wear and how to behave in an interview, but it was her past internships and a study abroad trip that set her apart, she said.
Hartley said because this was a part-time job fair it wasn't necessary for students to dress up or bring resumés. A more formal job fair on Feb. 5 and 6 will feature 120 employers hiring for full-time positions and internships, she said.
Teresa Krambeer, student employment coordinator for student housing, said the department hired one-fourth of its student work force from
applications received at last fall's job fair.
"It's an easy way for students to learn what jobs we have available," she said.
Positions are available for custodial and maintenance staff, desk assistants and security monitors. Krambeer said.
Hartley said students should come before the last hour of the fair because some employers leave early.
Off-campus businesses coming tomorrow include FedEx, Harrah's Prairie Band Casino and Kansas Air National Guard.

Study abroad trip lasts longer than expected
By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When Madelyn Wilson left for her study abroad program in Australia last February, she knew that she'd be back in Lawrence in time for summer classes and humid weather.
Her plans changed.
think.
Wilson, Chesterfield, Mo., junior, loved the Aussie life so much that she decided to stay in Wollongong, Australia for an entire year.
"KU made it so easy for me to change my plans" Wilson said. "The hardest part was getting my Visa renewed because I had to go all the way to Sydney to do that."
Susan MacNally, assistant director at the Office of Study Abroad, said that many students change their minds and stay longer than expected. She said the process is easier than students
"Most of the process can be completed over e-mail, although we need a signed contract from all renewal students," MacNally said. "This can be really simple if students can download applications and contracts over the Internet."
Robert Wilson, Madelyn Wilson's father, had mixed emotions about Madelyn's decision to stay in Wollongong for an extra semester.
"I was ambivalent about her change of plans," Wilson said. "I miss my baby, but at the same time, I want what's best for her."
With the beach just minutes from her dormitory, Wilson found it challenging to balance her time between school and sun. She successfully completed 25 credit hours while overseas.
Wilson studied with students from all across the globe, including Singapore, Africa and Wales.
Now back in Lawrence, Wilson said the readjustment to KU has been harder than she had expected.
"Australians are so down-to-earth and not materialistic," Wilson said. It's hard to come back here and see all the different things that KU students have."
Wilson plans to return to Australia after she graduates with a degree in Environmental Studies in December. She said that the program enabled her to explore career options outside of the country.
"Study abroad is so easy to get involved in," Wilson said. "Not enough students take advantage of the programs that KU has to offer."

SLAB will advocate Sebelius' new budget
Governor Kathleen Sebelius' budget proposal in the State of the State Address last Wednesday attracted higher education supporters state- and campuswide. Now their task is to get Kansas legislators on board as well.
Sebelius' proposal includes spending $4.49 billion, up 3.1 percent from current state spending. Detailed in it, public schools K-12 and higher education including the University of Kansas's state funding would remain the same with no new increase or decrease in cuts from former Governor Graves administration.
Alice Lieberman, associate professor of social welfare, volunteered while on sabbatical this year to get Sebelius elected. Her interest in higher education and social issues drew her to the governor's platform.
Although Sebelius didn't mention social services in her inaugural speech, her proposal would restore social service cuts in the next fiscal year.
"I think she did a great job," Lieberman said. "There are some risks in using our cash reserves to the extent that we are—which is I think 100 percent —but she's banking on the possibility that revenues are going up."
KU's Student Legislative Awareness Board is also banking on the Sebelius's budget. Johanna Maska, legislative director for student senate, said getting Sebelius's budget passed was a priority. She said that SLAB will be taking a realistic
and grassroots approach to achieving this goal.
"We want to connect the faces of Kansans to the problem of higher education," Maska said.
SLAB's tactics to sway legislators begins with education. The board sent invitations to high school student councils to come to the University for budget awareness in a program called "Educonnection: Bridging the Gap."
"We want the high school students and parents to get involved since they are the future Jayhawks or Wildcats," Maska said.
Student senators and SLAB members will be calling Kansas's 300 school districts to join the front to lobby for higher education.
The groups will also sponsor KU Lobby Days, which all University students are invited to join, and a "Jayhawk invasion" to the capital. All KU student organizations are encouraged to take a booth and information to Topeka so legislators can get a first-hand look at what the University has to offer.
University officials responded to the budget proposal on Friday.
"Since last July 1, KU's funding has been reduced by nearly $19 million, or about 8 percent," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a statement. "We hope the governor and the legislature will recognize the damage that has been done during the past year, and the damage that will occur in the future unless we find an answer to these budget problems."

Peace rallies:worthwhile or waste of time?
Support peace protests
As the threat of a war with Iraq nears reality, two 60-person bus loads of KU students traveled to Washington, D.C., over the three-day weekend to rally against the volatile military frenzy. These Jawahraks rightfully demanded peace in the face of an administration misguiding our nation in the incipient "War on Terror."
Proponents of war remind us that Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against the Kurds during a long 1980s war with Iran, that he calculated the invasion of Kuwait based on faulty territorial reasoning, and that he continues to pursue weapons of mass destruction. All of these claims have relative merit.
But the rationale for a preventative war with Iraq should be held to the highest threshold of justification.
Those who remember the president's brazen designation of North Korea and Iraq as part of a Star Wars-esque "Axis of Evil" should remember not only that the administration has openly antagonized these two nations, but also that hypocrisy in foreign policy invites our enemies to question our so-called higher motives.
Our government labeled Iraq the greatest threat to world security, but no proof has surfaced that Iraq possesses massive quantities of chemical and biological weapons. North Korea openly admits it own breach of the 1968 Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty by possessing nuclear weapons and being interested in long range missiles.
Our nation's actions suggest pure self-interest in cheaper oil and spurring an alling economy. The Bush administration
forgets President Eisenhower's 1961 warning against a growing military-industrial complex in this nation — in fact, it seems to welcome such a system, which promotes only commerce and death.
The price of a military campaign in Iraq cannot be measured merely in the billions of dollars it would demand. Two-thirds of Americans think war would cause another large-scale terrorist attack in the United States, according to a recent Reuters poll.
Our country risks establishing a dan
gerous ina ntional precedent of preventative war and opening the world stage for future conflicts of the same nature.
Peace and stability will emerge through time and aggressive diplomacy. Not American and Iraq blood.

for acting in the interests of large oil companies.
The authors of a pamphlet supporting the rally said Bush's intentions in any future war would be solely to give companies like Exxon-Mobile and Texaco control of Middle Eastern oil.
The y posses a large kernel of truth — the Middle East is full of oil. Oil that we
need; oil that is the lifeblood of our nation.
Saddam Hussein personifies instability in a region Americans unavoidably have an interest in.
Even if the protesters were right in accusing Bush of bowing to oil companies, they would be overlooking the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The United Nations demonstrated its remarkable impotence by allowing Iraq to ignore weapons inspections rules for more than a decade. Hussein barred his gates to weapons inspectors and used chemical weapons on his own people, but only the United States and the United Kingdom recognize how badly he wants weapons of mass destruction.
Proof of the existence of those weapons may be hard to come by. Chief U.N. weapons inspector, Hans Blix, said inspectors have found no "smoking gun." What a terrifying concept.
During the Gulf War, Iraq hit Israeli targets with 39 ballistic missiles. If Hussein gained the ability to add chemical or nuclear payloads to those missiles, the destruction could greatly surpass the tragedy of Sept. 11.
PERSPECTIVE
The protesters are grossly oversimplifying a complex problem. Pacifism has an admirable basis, but the United States cannot leave the lives of innocent Americans, Iraqis and possibly others in the hands of Hussein.
Israel is not the only possible target. German intelligence believes Hussein could strike Europe within five years.
'War for oil' argument not grounded in reality
GUEST COMMENTARY
Many arguments have been raised against possible military action in Iraq. A few of these have some amount of legitimacy to them. Others do not. One of the more asinine, yet widely accepted arguments, is the "war for oil" theory. If, like most people in the anti-war movement, your entire set of political beliefs can be expressed on a bumper sticker or backpack pin, this argument is for you.
GOLBY JENNIFER
Nathan Clark opinion@hansan.com
The gist of it is this: The Bush administration is run by former oilmen, Iraq has a bunch of oil, and therefore, Bush wants to get that oil to please his buddies in the industry. Based on this logic one could propose a theory that the war is all about baseball because Bush used to own the Texas Rangers and he's looking to recruit some Iraqi athletes to revive that failing franchise.
Both that theory and the oil theory have about the same amount of credibility. If the United States really wants Iraqi oil, waging a war might just be the worst way of going about it. A military conflict
Let's not be naive and think oil has absolutely nothing to do with this conflict.
could easily decimate the oil fields in Iraq, Saddam Hussein could burn them himself like he did in 1991. A civil war could break out. If the war went sour, Bush would likely lose his chance for reelection. If the war dragged on, the cost to finance it would be astronomical. Devastating potential outcomes exist that would leave Iraq's oil supply in jeopardy. Why would Bush risk so much?
It does, but primarily because of the belief that terrorist outfits in the Middle
If this were all about oil, the most risk free solution would be to simply buy it and convince the United Nations to lift the sanctions. Hussein could sell us all the oil we want from his largely untapped oil fields. Hussein has long professed an
eagerness to sell oil to whoever wants it including the United States. Buying Hussein's oil would be easier and cheaper than trying to convince the world that war is the only option.
Furthermore, if it comes to war in Iraq, it will not be the United States that is fighting for oil. The only thing Hussein has going for him is his oil. Many in the anti-war crowd wrongly blame the United Nations' imposed sanctions for the rampant poverty in the country. But, through the oil he is allowed to sell, Hussein could easily afford to support his people. If he were spending that money to help them, war would not be considered. But he's not. The money goes to himself and his weapons programs. For that reason, the United States will be fighting for security. Hussein will be fighting for oil.
East get most of their funding from leaders of oil-rich countries such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Therefore, removing a source of their support is consistent with the war on terrorism.
More available oil from Iraq keeps the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia from price gouging its supplies. This means cheaper oil for the rest of the world. Oil is a key issue in a possible war, but it's hardly the motive.
I don't claim to be an expert on foreign policy, but when such a claim as the "war for oil" theory is so widely accepted by protesters, something has to be said.
If people feel Bush's policies are wrong and want to voice their opinion, whether on Massachusetts Street or in Washington, D.C., that's fine. But don't get sucked in by this nonsensical oil theory. It comes from people who prefer to keep their political views expressible in five words or less.

Budget crunch may halt trafficway
Opponents to proposed trafficway unite to save the Baker wetlands

The controversial South Lawrence Trafficway will be built along an alignment with what is currently 32nd Street, if the US Army Corps of Engineers most recent plan is approved.
a crippling budget crisis and recent suggestions from Kansas' newly elected governor might put that project on indefinite hiatus.
The amount of money being set aside to build the multi-million dollar highway concerns many Kansans, including Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, in light of the current financial crunch. Her proposed budget trims Department of Transportation funding by $26.1 million.
Recommended or not, the proposed budget prompted newly appointed Deb Miller, transportation secretary, to freeze the $14 million allocated for the project until the Corps releases its official record of decision, and all lawsuits filed by the Trafficway's opponents are heard in court.
The Corps' final decision will come after the public has 30 days, beginning Friday, Jan. 17, to email Corps officer Robert Smith with comments at robert.j.smith@nwk02.usace.ar
"It's too soon to tell what will happen with the budget. The recommendations are recommendations at this point, we can't tell what we really have to work with until the end of the legislative session."

All this uncertainty did not stop a group of about 40 concerned Lawrence citizens from coming together Saturday to devise a plan to ensure the completed extension between Kansas Highway 10 and Interstate 70 would not go through the Baker Wetlands.
If or when construction begins on the Corps' Final Draft, Kelly Kindscher, associate scientist for the Kansas Biological Survey, thinks students and workers at the University should know that 20 percent of the land used on the 32nd Street route belongs to KU, and they're going to give that to KDOT.
Preventing the road from dissecting the wetlands, an area of land cherished by environmentalists and sacred to many area
Native Americans, has long been the goal of a variety of opposition groups. But recent events, like the release of the Corps' final recommendation, heightened anxieties and created a sense of urgency among the road's opponents. That's when Don Phipps, Lawrence, got the idea to bring together these diverse and occasionally splintered groups to create a unified front.
"Save the Wetlands is really just an attempt to organize opposition in a multi-faceted way that can deal with this issues' political nature," Phipps said before the meeting.
"Personally, I think it's ridiculous that people are losing jobs and schools are being shut down and there's still money being set aside to build this highway," he said.
It's money that made the Corps' most recent decision for the 32nd Street alignment a popular one among supporters. According to that plan, Baker University would receive over $5 million as part of a mitigation package intended to diminish the four-lane road's environmental

impact on the wetlands. The plan calls for creating more wetlands nearby and building an education and research center within the mitigated wetlands.
Kindscher and other opponents think money could also make the Trafficway unpopular among those who keep track of state spending.
"We're playing a card game here, folks, and someone's going to fold, whether it's KDOT or some other entity," he said. "If we keep the pressure on it won't be us."

Students join Washington protest
By Cal Creek
Kansan staff writer
ccreek@kansan.com
Students from the University of Kansas joined more than 180 concerned citizens from the Topeka, Kansas City and Lawrence areas in a trek that united them with protesters in Washington, D.C., for a peace rally Saturday.
The thousands of protesters met for a peace rally scheduled to coincide with the Martin Luther King weekend. Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, an international organization that also organized protests in San Francisco and other cities throughout the world, organized the rally. According to the organization's Web site, approximately 500,000 people attended the event.
"The rally was planned as a celebration of Martin Luther King, but it's about preventing
further actions in Iraq," said Tommy Bobo, North Augusta,
S.C., sophomore.
Friday morning three buses left from Kansas City carrying the students and their fellow protesters. The group included students involved in Delta Force, the Center for Community Outreach and the KU Green Party. The students were optimistic before leaving.
"I think this going to be huge. I think the President has to recognize that there is a demand for peace," said Laura Adams, Topeka sophomore.
The buses arrived Saturday morning. The protesters met at the Capitol building for a rally featuring speakers such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, civil rights activist Mahdi Bray, actors Jessica Lange and Tyne Daly, U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D.Mich.), former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and author and Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic.
From there the protesters marched to another rally at the Washington Naval Yard, chanting together and displaying signs that carried slogans such as, "No Blood for Oil." Then the Kansas protesters boarded the bus and began the 22-hour drive home.
After talking to protesters who attended other rallies, Annie Palmer, Oklahoma City, Okla., senior, felt "exhilarated."
"I felt like I had been a part of something that wasn't just the people marching in D.C. We kicked up a little more dust than what happened in D.C." Palmer said. "I felt really good about having gone."
The protesters faced little opposition save the occasional counter-protest and a small rally of about 100 people who supported the war. Palmer noted one sign that read "Hippies Go
"I think the President has to recognize that there is a demand for peace."

Home."
The protesters united for many different reasons.
"I hope it will change the tide of the administration's actions so that we can maintain peace. I also hope it will give a voice to ending all oppression and discrimination," said Jessica Cook, Topeka sophomore."We can stop this violence."
Act Now to Stop War and End Racism declared Feb.13 to 21 a week of protest, which will include a demonstration in New York.

Abigail Phelps said she thought King would speak out against homosexuality if he were alive today.
"When he was alive fags, hadn't taken over society," she said. "He'd be protesting against them just like me if he were alive."
Ron Schneider, a member of the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, delivered an Old Testament scripture reading at the Martin Luther King Day celebrations inside the Lied Center. He said he thought the protesters' presence was fitting, despite what he called the "meanness, hate and cruelty" of their message.
"I think it's appropriate that they're out there today, because Martin Luther King Jr. so cherished the Constitution and the First Amendment," Schneider said. "But with today's theme — love is sharing, caring and working together — I hope these people who only know hate can learn."

"My kids call me the Terminator," said Thornton, whose daughter is attending Stanford University and whose son graduated from Harvard University. "I parent with a stiletto heel on their necks. They know they need to keep going and be persistent."
A near-capacity audience at the Lied Center heard Thornton's speech, which culminated in two hours of singing from a variety of local choirs, and short speeches and introductions.
including addresses from Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Associate Vice Provost of Student Affairs and Rep. Barbara Ballard.
"It was inspiring," Stephen Foster, Lawrence High student, said. "It makes me want to work harder and do better. It's dr. intently the right note for Martin Luther King Day."
The University and the Ecumenical Christian Fellowship, Inc., sponsored Thorton's speech. It was the 18th annual University-sponsored celebration of the holiday.

TOPEKA — The cost of prosecuting — and defending — two high-profile murder cases has given capital punishment opponents another issue to raise as they push for a moratorium on death sentences in Kansas.
The Associated Press
Cases' cost support death penalty foes
Capital punishment foes also are encouraged by former Illinois Gov. George Ryan's decision earlier this month, during the last days of his term, to commute the sentences of all inmates on his state's death row.
in November, Reginald and Jonathan Carr received death sentences in Sedgwick County District Court for slaying five people.
That same month, a jury recommended the death sentence for John E. Robinson Sr., who was convicted in Johnson County of the murders of three women. A judge is scheduled to announce today whether he'll accept the jurors' recommendation.
Meanwhile, in Douglas County, prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Damien Lewis; accused of killing a Lawrence couple in their home.
"We're going to be paying for trial and litigation for years, spending millions of dollars to kill one man," Donna Schneweis, coordinator for Kansas Death Penalty Abolition, told the Lawrence Journal-World. "Where is the common good here? Are we paying for safety or revenge?"
Like other death penalty opponents; Schneweis argues the state has a viable option to execu
tion - the "Hard 50" sentence of 50 years in prison without parole.
But Sen. Ed Pugh, R-Wamego, vice chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said while capital punishment cases might be expensive, the threat of capital punishment could persuade a defendant to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence.
Pugh said he is not a strong supporter of the death penalty but added, "There are some cases so shocking, so horrifying, I think it should be imposed."
Opponents of capital punishment have long raised the cost of death penalty as an issue, along with questioning how fairly the penalty is imposed.
Pat Scalia, executive director of the Board of Indigents' Defense Services, said the Carr trial cost her agency $1.3 million and the Robinson trial $1.1 million.
As for the costs of death penalty cases, she said, "It's worth a review."
In Illinois, Ryan initially imposed a moratorium on death sentences because of concerns about how individual cases were handled.
But in Kansas, former Gov. Bill Graves didn't consider a similar moratorium, nor did he ever use his power to pardon convicted criminals during his eight years in office.
As for newly inaugurated Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and a moratorium, spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran-Basso said yesterday. "It's not something we're looking at."

Organizations offer tutoring
By Lauren Airey
lairey@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Tutors can help students conquer Spanish verb conjugation or the fundamental theorem of calculus in small groups or one-on-one.
Several tutoring options are available for students struggling with tough classes.
The Student Development Center offers low-priced tutoring for specific courses in biology, business, chemistry, math, physics and Spanish. At least 50 percent of the center's focus is on math classes.
For $100 per subject per semester, a student in the program receives three hours of small-group tutoring per week, which breaks down to $2 per hour. David Hill, the center's program assistant, said. The fee can be waived if a student receives financial aid. To register for the center's tutoring program, students can fill out a form in 22 Strong Hall.
old-fashioned way by footwork." Hill said. "Now we're getting a lot of students by word-of-mouth. The biggest benefit of our program is the cost because a private tutor can be about 10 times more expensive."
"We do a lot of publicizing the
John Heather, Overland Park senior, tutored privately before working for the Student Development Center. He said the center's program was better than working on his own because they provided training that was applicable outside of tutoring.
"Every semester, there's a meeting where they go over teaching strategies, like how to help a student who is a hands-on learner or a visual learner." Heather said. "We get the book that the student is using and sometimes we can get the homework answers from the teacher or get a solution manual so we can get answers that aren't in the back of the book."
For the fall semester, the center had 18 tutors and 110 students that completed the semester. The
center is expecting the same participation for this semester, according to Hill.
Student Senate provides a more informal tutoring option for students who want individual attention.
Diana Rhodes, Student Senate staff secretary, keeps a list of tutors in the Senate office in the Kansas Union. The database includes the tutors' contact information, courses or subjects to be tutored and the fee per hour. Private tutors typically charge $8 to $20 per hour. Student Senate can also refer students to other options, such as specific departments or the KU Writing Center.
"Anyone who is interested in having a tutor or being a tutor should call Student Senate," Eric Braun, former tutor and St. Louis senior, said. "The tutoring program hasn't been as big this year because there was less of an interest by students and less demand for the list of tutors."

Local infantry gets send-off
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN—Some members of the 35th Infantry Division of the Army National Guard knew in late 2000 they would be called for duty in Bosnia.
The world was a lot different back then, though, before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Before renewed tensions with Saddam Hussein brought the U.S. to the brink of another war with Iraq. Before a defiant North Korea dared the U.S. to do something about its renewed nuclear weapons aspirations.
Sunday, more than 2,000 family members and friends showed up at Bramlage Coliseum to send off the 35th Division's 1,500 troops to the war-torn Balkan nation in a mission dubbed Task Force Eagle.
ing those sacrifices and countless more, I personally thank you for answering your country's call."
"I know that, for those deploying, today means a separation from loved ones, missed birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and many other special moments." Gov. Kathleen Sebelius told the crowd. "For weather-
The task force's scheduled sixmonth assignment in Bosnia is expected to begin in April or May, public affairs officer Maj. Jeff Coverdale said. The division will train in Germany, and in the spring will join military units from Russia, Turkey, Denmark, Finland, Poland and elsewhere for the mission.
While tensions in Iraq could change the division's mission, nothing was said about the Persian Gulf standoff at Sunday's ceremony.
"We need to be prepared for any contingency that the president may call us up for." Coverdale said. "We realize that we are an infantry unit."
National Guard recruiter Joe Williams long has prepared men and women for the unexpected, but the send-off was bittersweet for a man who was saying good-bye to his wife and son.
He's not the one leaving; they are.
"This is the first time that we've all been split up for an activation," said Williams, who is staying home in Leavenworth to care for the couple's three young children.
Coverdale said the peacekeeping force, which includes units from Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky. Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Colorado, Washington and Hawaii, will depart for Germany in stages tomorrow through Sunday.
While many of the soldiers were saying goodbye to loved ones Sunday, a task force husband-and-wife team prepared to make the trip together.
Sgt. Richard and Spec. Sara Childs of Hutchinson met in 1999 while on active duty with the Army in Korea. They were married in Kansas in the summer of 2000, and both were students at Hutchinson Community College.
"We'll be stationed in the same camp, so it's not going to be a major hardship." Sara Childs said.

KU Coach nods 'yes'; joins legion of evil dolls
Roy Williams sold his soul.
The guy's won 401 games. He's gone to three Final Fours, had four 30-win seasons and sent several players to the NBA.
He's done it all with class. But he absolutely crossed the line on this one.
When the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation's marketing department approached Williams with the idea of making him into a bobblehead doll, the veteran coach did the unthinkable. He said OK.
Williams is now molded onto a piece of plastic with a spring for a neck. He joins an army of nodders, all with one goal: world domination.
There's the Jesus Christ bobblehead, spreading the gospel of the ever-growing bobblehead empire.
There's also Royals outfielder Carlos Beltran, holding some sort of white grenade with red stitching, ready to destroy any anti-nodder activists that tick him off.
And of course, Wizards' goalkeeper Tony Meola, telling the world that bobbleheads are number one.
Williams is joining the fight for bobblehead supremacy on Earth. The bad news is, it's becoming reality.
They must be stopped.
For now, Williams is the only member of the current KU family to turn on the human race.
But it makes me wonder: what Jay-hawk will join the dark side next?
The marketing department claims it hasn't brainstormed the next Jayhawk to give in, but the possibilities are endless. Such as:
Mark Mangino, football coach — A carefully-crafted nodder, with Mangino's head buried in his hands, bobbing from side to side after another bad loss.
Ray Bechard, volleyball coach - Similar to Meola, Bechard, bobbing head and all, is telling the NCAA tournament selection committee that they're number one — with a different finger, of course.
Jonas Weatherbie, former quarterback — Keys in one hand, beer in the other. Weatherbie's head bobs up and down when asked "Are you really driving yourself home?"
Al Bohl, athletics director — Complete with a bobble-jaw, Bohl talks your ear off, trying to sell you that old rust-bucket Yugo he calls the football team. This bobble-jaw doll really talks! (Two AA batteries and a healthy donation to the Williams Fund required).
Andrew Davison, former cornerback—A bobblehead with a larger spring, to support the gigantic head on his shoulders. Probably won't fit through many doorways.
I'm only touching the tip of this gigantic sword. Beware of others.
According to the marketing department's Mike Harman, Roy's bobblehead is available for $30 at www.kustore.com and through promotions with First National Bank. If they sell like expected, we will all soon be bowing to the Roy nodder and his army of elinky-necks. No matter what they try to tell you.
"Terminator style?" Harman said, not taking me seriously. "No, I don't see that happening."
Oh, how naively Harman's mind works. Bobbleheads have been around for decades. They've watched our patterns, they know our weaknesses and they're ready to strike.
And now, Roy Williams is supporting their movement. He sold his soul.

Construction is almost complete for the new Student Recreation Fitness Center, featured above in an artist's rendering.

New athletic centers are intended to benefit students and student athletes alike
By Joey Berlin
Kansan sportswriter
jberlin.kansan.com
University of Kansas students and student athletes are awaiting completion of construction of new sports and workout facilities that will upgrade the University's current recreation and athletic workout venues.
Students have been awaiting the completion of construction of the new Student Recreation Fitness Center since Spring 1999, when they voted for the campus fee that would fund its construction.
The new facility, located directly south of Watkins Memorial Health Center, will offer a number of advantages over its predecessor, Robinson Center. Many students complained about Robinson's inaccessible business hours, but Mary Chappell, Recreation Services director, said things would be different at the new center.
“It's just a different feel, a different way in which recreation is presented," Chappell said. "When you walk in, the whole area is dedicated to you as a student, and to recreation activities."
Mary Chappell Recreation Services director
"The biggest draw will be that it's accessible 18 hours a day for recreation." Chappell said.
In addition, no classes will take place in the main workout areas during that time,giving students free rein to use the available equipment. Chappell said.
"The cardiovascular area is going to be huge compared to Robinson" she said.
Other areas of the center will be similarly impressive. Chappell said the martial arts program would have its own area, and an indoor track would be suspended above the gymnasium. Other features will include official-size racquetball courts, one squash court and a three-dimensional, 45-foot-high climbing wall. The facility's basketball courts will be high-school size, at 50-by-84 feet. Robinson's basketball courts are junior high size.
"It's just a different feel, a different way in which recreation is presented," Chappell said. "When you walk in, the whole area is dedicated to you as a student, and to recreation activities."
Work on the center is scheduled for completion as soon as July, or as late as early September.
Student athletes will soon have a new place to workout, too. The two-story Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center is under construction at the northwest corner of Anschutz
Sports Pavilion.
Brad Nachtigal, director of facilities, said construction on the center was on schedule and about two months away from completion.
The 42,000-square-foot center will feature a cardiovascular area, weight equipment and a locker room. Los Angeles residents Dana and Sue Anderson donated $4 million of the funds for the $8 million complex.
"By helping build a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning center, the Anderson family will assist us in our continuing efforts to attract and retain excellent athletes," Kansas Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a statement posted on kuathletics.com. "The Andersons' remarkable generosity will be appreciated by all of KU's many student-athletes and coaches," he said.

Young softball team prepares for season

The Kansas softball team is less than a month away from regular season play after spending hours in the batting cage and fielding ground balls.
NTH
The squad finished its "fall ball" presseason schedule in October with an 8-3-1 record against primarily local competition.
But a lot has changed in the last four months in the Kansas clubhouse.
Senior Kirsten Milhoan and sophomore Serena Settlemier work on pitching techniques in Anschutz Sports Pavallion. The Jayhawks open their season with Mississippi on Feb.7 at the Central Florida Tourney.
Jared Soares/Kansan
When the layhawks go south for a preconference tournament in St. Augustine, Fla., on Feb. 7, they will be without the services of sophomore pitcher Serena Settlemier. She will undergo surgery on her right throwing wrist that will most likely sideline her for the whole season.
Pitching woes aside, the team should be well stocked in both the outfield and the infield. Bunge said several outfielders, including freshmen Ashley Goodrich and Heather Stanley, have adjusted to the outfield nicely after serving as infielders in high school.
"I'm 99 percent sure she's out for the year." Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said.
That means Bunge will look to junior Kara Pierce and senior Kirsten Milhoan to carry the team on the pitching mound as a two-person rotation. Juniors Mel Wallach and Leah Mountain will serve as backups.
"Having a pitching staff of two is doable at the collegiate level, but it's going to be tough on them physically." Bunge said.
The coach said she wasn't sure how she was going to fill the gap left by the departure of last year's seniors Christi Musser, Shelly Musser and Leah Tabb.

The Jayhawks defeated Nebraska (172.5-127.5) and Louisville (248.5-38.5) last Saturday in Linecol, Neb., improving their record in dual meets to 7-4.
Sophomore Aly Colver captured the 100 and 200-meter freestyle titles with times of 52.96 seconds and 1:53.59.
Kansas took first place in 10 out of 16 events in Lincoln.
Senior Beth Schryer finished first in the 1000-meter freestyle and broke her season record with a time of 10:19.74. She also finished first in the 500-meter freestyle with a 5:04.88.
"We were pleased with the way the meet went for us," coach Clark Campbell said. "Nebraska swam exceptionally well to give us a fight. I thought there were a couple of events that could have went our way, but in the end this was an excellent step forward."
In the 200-meter breaststroke, sophomore Miranda Isaac won the race with a time of 2:24.26. In the 100-meter butterfly, freshman Lindsey Urbatchka placed first with a 59.30 finish. Senior Gwen Haley won both the 200-meter butterfly and the 400-meter individual medley with times of 2:04.31 and 4:26.82, respectively.
In relay action, the Jayhawks won both the 400-meter freestyle relay and the 200-meter medley relay.
In diving, senior Patti Stringham finished fourth in the three-meter event with a
score of 244.65, and sixth place in the one-meter flight with a 229.80 score. Senior Kristi Misejka placed fifth on the one-meter board with a score of 234.45 and sixth with 239.55 points in the three-meter.
"After training for 17 straight days, the team was swimming well for how tired we were going into Saturday." Schryer said.
The Jajhawks' next meet is at home this Saturday versus Colorado State in the Robinson Natorium.

Fan support could give women a win
Saturday afternoon began for me by heading over to Allen Fieldhouse to cover the women's basketball game against Colorado. My day ended by watching a gritty men's basketball game between the beloved Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats
The women's team struggled as they were outgunned by the Buffaloes, and it was sad to see the attendance for the game was a mere 922. The women played with a lot of heart, but were simply outmatched.
Of course, the
it's always encouraging to see the men's team sitting behind the Kansas bench cheering for their fellow athletes. But why can't all students follow suit?
Or course, the men played in front of a packed house later in the day, and it's always encouraging to see the men's team sitting behind the Kansas bench cheering for their fellow athletes. But why can't all students follow suit?
I am interested to see if we could get at least 500 students to help fill out the bleachers behind the baskets tonight when the women's team hosts Oklahoma.
I know what everyone's thinking. Why should we go when the team has a losing record and the men are on television at the same time?
Oklahoma rolls into town showing some vulnerability. Last season, the Sooners were able to make it to the Final Four. This year, the team is still strong, but it has struggled to a 10-5 record. Even though it is ranked 23rd in the nation, it has the makings of an upset-prone team.
Kansas comes in at 7-8, playing with a losing record for the first time this season. The team has the youth and charisma to pull off an upset tonight. A team with as much promise as this one could use a larger crowd in its corner as the sixth man to pull off a win.
Coach Marian Washington is in the process of putting together a stellar lineup, composed of outstanding young talent on the roster and big-time recruits on the way next year.
A plethora of new faces added a jolt of life to a program that hit rock bottom last spring by limping to a 5-25 record.
Pleading for a larger crowd tonight could be a long shot, but win or lose, those who see this team play will leave with confidence in the future of coach Washington's program.
That's a guarantee.

Pro Jayhawks excel as NBA players

With the NBA season in full swing, each Tuesday you will be filled in on what former Jayhawks play at the pro level are doing. If there are any players from Kansas basketball history you would like to see an update on, e-mail your requests to rgreene@kansan.com.
Paul Pierce — Boston Celtics
Pierce and the Celtics have done their best to stay in the thick of things in the Atlantic division. Last week, the team
put a halt to a threegame losing skid and have since won three straight. Pierce's week was highlighted by a 31-point outing in a win over Indiana
on Friday. Pierce's 25.4 points per game had him fifth in the league in that category, and he also is tied for sixth in steals with 1.92 per game. Pierce will return to Allen Fieldhouse next Saturday to have his jersey retired at halftime of the men's game against Arizona.
Drew Gooden — Memphis Grizzlies

rookies with an average of 13 points per game and fifth in rebounds with 5.8 per game. He has settled in now as the Grieves
Raef LaFrentz — Dallas Mavericks
as the Grizzlies' sixth man, playing behind the recently hot Pau Gasol.
LaFrentz seems to be completely healthy now as he is a solid contributor in the Dallas starting lineup. Despite his
progression back toward normalcy, the Mavericks are in the midst of a season worst three game losing streak. The low point for the team was blowing a lead Sunday
and losing by five in Seattle, but the silver lining is that the team is still 31-8 and has the league's top record. LaFrentz had his best game of the week Friday at Phoenix with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
It may have taken half of an NBA season, but it looks like Vaughn has finally awakened from the end of the bench. Coach Doc Rivers inserted Vaughn into the starting lineup last week to try to complement Tracy McGrady in the back-court, and it has been a success so far. Vaughn was impressive on Sunday when
ORLANDO
MAGIC
an Orlando victory in Toronto evened the team's record at 21-21. In another start, he notched 15 points and dished out four assists.
Jacque Vauhn — Orlando Magic
Greg Ostertag — Utah Jazz
After a scary start, the Jazz have stayed hot up to this point. So far in January, the team is 7-2. Ostertag had one
of his best games of the year on Wednesday with 13 points, nine rebounds and five blocks in a victory over Denver.
JAZZ
Scot Pollard — Sacramento Kings
Pollard's lower back stress fracture is almost healed, and he has begun to work out individually but is not practicing with
the team. The team expects to have him back after the All-Star break in early February. "He's going to try to work out and gradually hopefully get into practice sometime." coach

Tennis team starts strong
By Jonah Ballow
jballow@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The first tournament of the spring season gave the Kansas tennis team an insight for what is to come during the rest of the season.
"We are going to prove that we deserve to be in the NCAA tournament at the end of the season," said senior Kim Lorenz.
The team competed at the Michigan Invitational against Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Wisconsin and Louisiana State.
Freshman Christine Skoda won both of her singles matches and a doubles victory with teammate Emily Haylock, junior, the first day of the Michigan Invitational.
"My game is more all-around, but I would like to improve on finishing shots and focusing through points." Skoda said.
The second day showed the
strength of the KU doubles teams. Haylock and Skoda defeated Jen Duprez and Kim Plaushines of Michigan 9-8 with a tiebreak score of 3. Sophomore Paige Brown and Lorenz earned a victory over Michigan's Debra Streifer and Kavitha Tipirneni, 8-5.
The KU doubles teams went 2-1 that day while the singles players struggled.
The Jayhawks started strong with two singles victories by junior Courtney Steinbock and Brown but dropped the next four matches to Wisconsin.
Steinbock and Brown won singles matches the third day in three sets, ending in tiebreaks. As in day two, Kansas lost the next four matches to LSU.
In doubles play, the Jayhawks went 1-2 against Wisconsin. Steinbock and her twin Kristen, also a junior, defeated Shana McElroy and Katie M克affigan 9-7. Kansas lost the last two dou
bles matches, concluding the teams weekend in Michigan.
Last spring the Jayhawks finished with a 16-6 record overall, with a 9-2 record in the Big 12 Conference. Even with a No.1 ranking in the central region, Kansas failed to make the NCAA women's tournament.
Courtney (No.19) and Kristen Steinbock will team up in No. 1 doubles.
The team enters this spring's season with a No. 44 ranking. Brown is the highest-ranked Jayhawk at No.11.
After the addition of two freshmen, Skoda and Jamie Lang, international students Louiza Loureritio of Brazil and Grisell Gridnados of Mexico also will join the team this season.
The Jayhawks will play Brigham Young University Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Wood Valley Racquet Club in Topeka.

The Jayhawks are looking for two more golfers to step up this spring to fill the four and five spots behind the top three players, senior Chris Marshall, junior Tyler Hall and sophomore Andrew Price.
In the mix for the spots are freshmen Pete Krnsich, Ryan Rainer, Charlie Santaularia, Jason Sigler. Luke Trammell and sophomore Kevin Ward.
Marshall, the team's only senior and captain, said the six tournaments before the Big 12 conference championship April
The team had strong fall finishes including second place at the Kansas Invitational and fifth place at the Nelson-Stanford Invitational.
28 to 29 in Stillwater, Okla. would dictate how the team finished in a competitive Big 12 conference.
"Those tournaments will be a good warm-up for us to find a good chemistry," Marshall said.
The men will open the spring season Feb. 12 to 14 at the Taylor Made/Big Island Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawaii.
First year women's coach Megan Menzel said she wanted her team to focus on being consistent in its play for the spring season.
The women's team finished twelfth in the Big 12 last year but had encouraging performances at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational, tying for third, and the Chip-N-Club Invitational, where it finished eighth.
rebuilding year for the women's program and it would take the program a few years to be successful.
"It's definitely a build-up because the Big 12 is so competitive, but Kansas has the tools and the support to become competitive," Menzel said.
Seniors Jill MacDonald, Tiffany Kruggel, Kristy Straub and Heather Rose provide a strong foundation for the season and contributions are expected from junior Jennifer Bawanan, and freshmen Tiffany Woods, Kendall Schwermann and Chelsev Prvor.
The women's team will begin the season at the Lady Aztec Invitational Feb.17 to 18 in San Diego, Calif.

'Hawks win,struggle late in game
Kansas' winning streak over Kansas State continues. Williams' premonitions of bad luck only superstition

Bad omens and an improved Kansas State team weren't enough to snap Kansas' winning streak against its in-state rival Saturday night.
Coach Roy Williams was feeling a little uneasy after he arrived at Allen Fieldhouse with an armload of doughnuts for the Jayhawk faithful that traditionally camp days in advance for choice seats. The only problem was that there were no campers in sight. An afternoon women's basketball game delayed camping until 3 p.m.
Williams' game-day routine was further shaken when he returned later to prepare for the Wildcats and was stopped short at the door.
Brandon Baker/Kansan
"I couldn't get in," Williams said after the game. "Even with my key."
The 15-year coach was forced to signal assistant coach Steve Robinson by whistling and throwing snowballs at his window.
"He said he recognized that whistle," Williams said of Robinson. "And when a snowball hit his window he came down and let me in."
The day's events left Williams nervous that his luck would carry over to the game, but it didn't take long for the Jayhawks(13-3 overall, 3-0 Big 12 conference) to
"It was a workman-like game. It was an ugly game. It was a game you need to win sometimes."
Roy Williams Mens' basketball coach
erase the concern from Williams' mind.
Kansas scored 15 unanswered points in the first three and-a-half minutes on its way to a 81-64 rout of K-State (10-6, 1-2).
The early deficit didn't cause the Wildcats to quit. K-State junior guard Tim Ellis cut Kansas' lead to 7 at the 11:11 mark, ending a 13-5 Wildcat run. Ellis went on to score 13 points in the game, and senior forward Gilson DeJesus dropped 15, but Kansas's starting five proved to be too much for the Wildcats.
Nevertheless, K-State's performance earned the respect of Kansas forward Nick Collison.
"They're definitely in the middle of the pack — maybe even one of the upper teams in the league," Collison said.
Jeff Graves came close to doublefigure scoring and his fourthdouble-double in five games. He finished with 8 points and 13 rebounds.
Collison was among three starters to score in double figures with 16 points. Sophomore guard Keith Langford joined Collison with 14 points, and senior guard Kirk Hinrich led all scorers with 26 points. Junior forward
At the start, the Jayhawks played the best they have all season, Williams said, but he was not impressed with their intensity
after that.
"It was a workman-like game," he said. "It was an ugly game. It was a game you need to win sometimes."
Kansas moved up eight positions in the Associated
Notes:
Press Top 25 poll to No.6 after beating Wyoming and K-State at home.
Senior forward Nick Collison became the seventh leading scorer in Kansas history, passing Kevin Pritchard, who played from 1987-1990. Collison has 1,708 points in his career, 46
behind sixth-place Dave Robisch.
Senior guard Kirk Hinrich needs two points to pass former Kansas guard Adonis Jordan for 19th place on the Kansas career scoring list.

Gooden returns to Allen Fieldhouse
Praises current team's performance; talks of transition from college to pro

Kansan sportwriter
Entering a stretch of games against Colorado, Arizona and Texas, each member of the Kansas men's basketball team and coach Roy Williams would probably love to have Drew Gooden in a Jayhawk uniform for his senior season.
Instead, the Jayhawks will have to settle with seeing Gooden's uniform hanging in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse. Gooden returned to Lawrence Saturday for the Kansas State game.
"I think about it every day," Gooden said. "I try to keep things to myself when I fantasize about playing in college, missing games against Missouri, Texas, Arizona, UCLA. But I'm fulfilling a dream in the NBA. I'm still glad I left for the NBA."
These days Gooden is a working man for the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA. After being selected fourth overall by the Grizzlies in last year's draft, Gooden has made his mark in Memphis and is being considered around NBA media circles for Rookie of the Year honors.
All of this success came for Gooden after he completed his three-year career at Kansas after last season's team went 16-0 in the Big 12 Conference and lost to eventual national champion Maryland in the semifinals of last year's Final Four.
Williams said the decision to

send the team back to the locker room during Gooden's halftime speech was tough.
"These kids played with Drew," Williams said. "I fought about it in my mind about letting them stay out to listen to Drew, but I didn't think it'd show proper respect to Kansas State."
With his team in the locker room, Williams stayed on the court during the ceremony to speak about Gooden. The two shook hands before the opening tip against K-State.
"For three years, this young man busted his tail and put up with a lot from me." Williams said to the fans at halftime. "He came a long, long way on the court. He made the right decision to go to the NBA, yet there's never a game where he sees highlights on SportsCenter he wouldn't rather be here with you.
"For three years I loved watching him run up and down the court, defend, rebound. This youngster grew as much as any player I ever coached."
Saturday night was Gooden's first game in Allen Fieldhouse without being in uniform since leaving the team. He said he was caught up in the atmosphere.
"It's really fun to watch them," he said. "It's the first time I watched a game from the stands. Now I know how much fun the fans have watching us."
Being a fan in the stands also gave Gooden an opportunity to critique Kansas' performance without the injured forward Wayne Simien on the floor.
"I mean, they have a great team," Gooden said. "They are playing well. With Simien not in the game, Jeff Graves is doing a great job. With Wayne, it's a tough队 to beat."
Gooden said the most difficult part of the transition to the NBA had been to learn a new system after Sidney Lowe was fired and replaced by Hubie Brown as head coach of the Grizzlies early in the season.
One thing that has not changed for Gooden has been his interest in his former team. Gooden said he used some of his rookie contract to ensure he would be able to watch Jayhawk games in Memphis.
"I got the DIRECTV sports package just so I can watch the Jayhawks," Gooden said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 21).
Don't let friends talk you out of your savings this year. A risky proposition takes a long time to show a profit—and there's a chance it never will. Stick with the tried and true, no matter how great the temptation to gamble.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Focus on your work and try to block out distractions. That's the only way you'll come anywhere close to the perfection you're after. Make the effort.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
A disagreement about finances could cause domestic unrest, but it's a temporary condition. That goes for both the financial stress and the domestic.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
Although the pressure you've been under is easing, you may notice you're exhausted. You didn't have time to fall apart before. Allow yourself that luxury, in private.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
The pace has been fast lately, and it isn't slowing down. All the more reason to take a few moments to plan your day and week. Miss details and you lose.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6. You may be catching flak from people you thought were on your side. The benefits of a recent endeavor are spread thin when divided among many. Advise patience and persistence.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
You're not exactly getting 100 percent agreement. It's more like you're insisting on a realistic approach while others are foolish idealists. Keep at it. They'll thank you later.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
You're liable to run into a nest of forgetten details soon. These are squiggle little nits that can't be left again they'll only make your life more uncomfortable. Clean them up.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
A person who says you don't have enough money isn't necessarily
your enemy. One who says he can get for you if you can't necessarily your friend. Hold off on a big purchase.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Expect to take a few hits and receive some biting criticism. You can hold your own, but you'll encounter resistance when venturing into new territory. Show you're tough enough.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
You can get a message through if you're delayed. Work and other obligations make travel difficult, and an agreement isn't forthcoming, either. Changes are under way, so be patient.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7.
Don't spend too much on a child or another loved one out of guilt. Change your ways instead.
Pisces(Feb.19-March20).Today is a5.
Try not to argue with a person who's on your side. If the two of you work together, you can topple a formidable adversary, or at least hold your own.

Colorado tramples on women's team
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kanasun.com
kansan Sportswinter
The Kansas women's basketball team found itself in unfamiliar territory following Saturday's 71-50 loss against Colorado (13-2, 3-1).
ZAMS 31
For the first time this season, they had a losing record.
The Buffaloes stamped through Allen Fieldhouse, leaving Kansas coach Marian Washington and her players' weaknesses exposed.
"We didn't shoot the ball very well," Washington said. "We were rushing a lot of shots, whether they were right under or 15 feet in."
Jared Soares/Kansan
Two Swedes square off, KU point Leila Mengüç directs a traffic while her Colorado counterpart Maria Billingsley puts on the pressure.
Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras struggled on the floor Saturday, missing her first nine shots of the game. She came on late, finishing with 7 points.
In the first half, Kansas (7-8, 0-4) could not seem to find its comfort level. The Jayhawks headed to the break shooting only 29.4 percent from the field, going 10-for-34. The team made nearly half its shots in the second half, but it was not enough to compensate for Colorado's 27-for-46 shooting.
Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg led the Jayhawks in the point column with 13 points. Ransburg was close to a double-double with nine rebounds, and another blocked shot kept her in the top 15 in the nation in the category.
Junior guard Kate Fagan led the way for the Buffaloes, draining six three-point shots in the contest, including her first four attempts of the second half. Fagan ended the game with 22 points and seven rebounds.
Sophomore guard Blair Waltz said it was tough for the Jayhawks to execute their offense how they wanted to, but that part of the problem can be easily cured.
To complement Fagan on the perimeter, junior center Tera Bjorkland did the dirty work inside, with 12 points and eight boards.
"Their defense was very aggressive, and we were rushing our offense." Waltz said. "Some of the problem was knocking the shots down, but that's good because it's something we can work on."
Some silver lining to the loss was the spark off the bench from junior forward Keila Beachem.
Beachem added some flair on both ends of the floor when she checked in, ending the game with 4 points, four rebounds, and four steals in 12 minutes played.
Washington said Beachem had some work to do before earning a spot in the regular rotation.
The Jafhawks' next test will come on Wednesday night at
Allen Fieldhouse when they will host the No. 23 Oklahoma Sooners (10-5, 2-1).

depth across the board. Bunge said that freshmen Jessica Moppin, Nettie Fierros, Destiny Frankenstein and junior Sandy Smith are all well qualified to play third base, short stop or second base. Sophomore Lindsey Weinstein, who suffered a stress fracture on her right foot earlier, will start at first base. Mountain will back her up. Bunge said.
Bunge said she would continue to experiment with the starting lineup during pre-conference play and possibly into the Big 12 season.
Bunge said her squad has been practicing on their own time all throughout the winter.
"I don't think I've ever seen a team like this grab their bats on their own and take extra batting practice," she said. "That was across the board and that excites the coaching staff."
The coach hopes all the batting practice will pay off next month as the team tries to improve on last year's 33-25 record (7-11 in the Big 12).
"We have a lot of question marks because we have so many new faces." Bunge said. "We're hoping to quickly get off the roller coaster of being a young team and even out our play."

The Colorado guard faced off against two former teammates, Aquanita Burns and Loila Mengue.
Maria Billingsley earned a double dose of bragging rights Saturday afternoon.
as her Buffaloes beat the Jayhawks 71-50 in Allen Fieldhouse.
Burras and Billingsley played together in the junior-college ranks last season at Central Arizona College. They helped lead the Vaqueros to a 26-1 record last season.
A native of Stockholm, Sweden, Billingsley and Menguc, Kansas' Swedish import, both
played on the Swedish National team before moving to the United States. They are used to suiting up against each other though.
"There are two major clubs in Stockholm," Mengüc said. "We played on different teams growing up. It's a very friendly rivalry. The last couple of years before we came over here we played on
"I've been really excited to see them again," Billingsley said. "It's fun to come here in the U.S. and play against people I have played since I was a little kid. With Aqua it does feel kind of strange to have her on the other side."
national teams together."
Billingley relished the chance to face the familiar opponents.
Billingsley's Buffaloes not only won the game, but she also won the statistical battle. Billingsley came off the bench to post eight points, five rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes of playing time. Burras and Menguc both started for the Jayhawks and played 34 and 21 minutes respectively. Burras managed only seven
points, four below her average and four rebounds with no assists. Mengue had three points, two rebounds and an assist.
Billingsley's performance helped Colorado drop the Jayhawks' record to 7-8 overall and 0-4 in Big 12 play.

Doctoral students to receive incentives
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Graduate students thinking about coming to the University of Kansas will have more financial incentives from the Office of the Chancellor and graduate alumni.
The Graduate School will be using promised funds to support 21 new doctoral students by 2005 and two additional Chancellor's Fellowships per year throughout the next three years, starting next fall.
John Augusto, assistant dean of the Graduate School, said the Graduate School was hoping to recruit high-ability doctoral students to the University with the additional scholarships.
Being able to offer such scholarships can be an important factor in a student's choosing a program, he said. With the additional scholarships, the University can be a more The Graduate School will be using funds to support 21 new doctoral students by 2005 and two additional Chancellor's Fellowships per year over the next three years.
tractive option to prospective students.
"Some people say it is most important;
some say it's the second important after program quality," Augusto said. "But really they go together. You have to have both."
All departments offering doctoral programs can nominate incoming doctoral students for the Chancellor's Fellowship. A Chancellor's Fellowship consists of a stipend, tuition payment and a teaching assistant position paid by the Graduate School.
Departments offering graduate programs submitted proposals to obtain the supplemental scholarship funds. The American studies, chemistry, molecular biosciences and psychology departments will receive $4,000 to support new doctoral students. The Intercampus Graduate Program in Communicative Disorders will also receive the supplemental scholarship. Students chosen must also be receiving research or teaching assistant positions in their departments.
Augusto said the committee looked at a number of factors when deciding what departments received the supplemental scholarships.
"We looked at how well they recruited doctoral students,how they mentored students so they would complete the program,"he said.
The committee also looked at how visible the graduate faculty was in the area of research.
Norman Yetman, chair of the department of American studies, said he was pleased his department received one of the supplemental scholarships.
"Our biggest problem in the past has been we were a student's number one choice and then another school would offer them more money," Yetman said.
With the supplemental scholarship, the department could be sure more students would come to the University, Yetman said.
The funds being used for the supplemental scholarships were the result of a Kansas University Endowment Association campaign. The campaign targeted alumni who had received a graduate degree from the University.

Illness on the rise
Flu cases spread to Lawrence
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The official flu season started in November, but Lawrence and the University of Kansas are just now starting to see the effects.
Several schools in the Lawrence area have had a large number of absences, and Bishop Seabury Academy canceled classes because of the virus last week.
Watkins Memorial Health Center had not treated many cases of the flu until KU students returned from winter break, said Myra Strother, associate director and chief of staff at Watkins.
Strother said the biggest confusion with the flu was mistaking the stomach flu for influenza. The stomach flu involves gastrointestinal problems, and the flu is an upper-respiratory infection, she said.
Flu activity should increase within
"I finally decided to get the flu shot.Ever since then I stopped getting the flu all together."
Benjamin Lissner Highland Park,Ill., senior
the next few weeks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Influenza is an airborne virus that includes symptoms such as fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and muscle aches.
Strother said seeing a doctor when symptoms first occurred was important. Anti-viral medications that are given to treat the flu work best when the virus is caught within the first 72 hours, she said.
Strother said students could prevent the flu by getting the flu shot. Although
it's well into the flu season, she said it was too late for the shot to be effective.
Benjamin Lissner, Highland Park, Ill.,
senior, said he had been getting the flu
shot for the past three years at Waltkins.
"Every year I would get the flu," he said. "I finally decided to get the flu shot. Ever since then I stopped getting the flu all together."
At Watkins, flu shots are $10 for students.
Besides the shot, Strother said it was important for students to wash their hands and keep themselves well-rested.
"The healthier we keep our own bodies, the better we can fight off any virus." she said.
Elaine Houston, immunization coordinator for the Lawrence Health Department, said it was important for students to get the flu shot, especially right now with the increase of flu cases in Lawrence.

Vandals tear down anti-war sign
Bv Kevin Wiqs
By Kevin Wriggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An anti-war sign that Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., had displayed to passers-by had been torn down.
The 20-by-4-foot sign that had been constructed by four University of Kansas students and put up Monday night had been ripped from the ground and folded over. No permanent damage had been done and the sign was put back up.
When the Rev. Thad Holcombe went to work yesterday morning, he saw something he could only describe as discouraging.
The sign, which says "No War in Iraq:
Not in Our Names" in thick black lettering,
is supposed to be autographed by those who oppose the anticipated war in Iraq. It was put up around 5 p.m. Monday.
"It was polite vandalism," Holcombe said. "They could have taken a knife to it or used graffiti or something. But it's still frustrating."
Mike Lee, Lawrence senior, said that the goal of the sign was to attract attention to the issue of the war. Lee, who helped build the sign, said the vandalism did not surprise him.
"I was hoping for civility," he said. "It was obviously someone who feels strongly, and I have no problem with somebody disagreeing. But it was still inappropriate."
"I expected it," he said. "It just displa- plays a difference of opinion."
Lee said he wished that whoever vandalized the sign could instead use the energy for a more productive solution.
While Holcombe didn't anticipate vandalism, he did expect a variety of responses.
"It will definitely motivate us to keep it up, even if we have to take it down at night," Holcombe said. "We will probably attach it more securely, but it will be up even if there is a war."
Holcombe said the incident would not cause the church to take the sign down early.

Professor aids NASA supernova research
By Amy Potter
apotter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Claude Laird, adjunct professor of physics and astronomy, has never seen the movie Armageddon. He admitted he hadn't watched the majority of Hollywood pictures glorifying the potential harm of asteroids or any other falling debris from space.
What he does know is that Hollywood might be a tad disappointed to read about his latest research on supernovae, which Laird said wouldn't make for an exciting movie.
Laird
Laird teamed up with NASA which
gave $70,000 in funding for the project. The scientists determined that a supernova — a massive star explosion would have to be much closer than previously thought to have devastating effects on the earth.
"I was initially disappointed when we came up with a regular result. Actually, of course, no news is sometimes good news." Laird said.
For Laird's part of the study, he used the Space and Physics Lab at the University of Kansas to create a model. He used gamma rays from the most recent supernova, SN1987a, which occurred outside the Milky Way galaxy in 1987.
Past studies indicated that a supernova 55 light years, or 55 times the distance light travels in a year, from Earth could release gamma and cosmic rays that would be harmful to the ozone layer. Laird and his colleagues found that the number could be lowered to 26 light years.
"We knew how far away it was. So we used physical laws," Laird said. "As we moved it closer in our model, you could see what the impact would be."
Neil Gehrels, an astrophysicist for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said he selected Laird for the project because he was one of the best in the country.
John Cannizzo, a contractor for Goddard Space Flight Center, has worked on the project for the last two years. He studied the effects of supernovae on the ozone layer.
"The main upshot of this is that it looks like supernovae don't have a very powerful effect on the depletion of the ozone," Cannizzo said.
Laird said if a supernova reached a distance of 26 light years from Earth, it could result in a 50 percent depletion of the ozone layer.
"It's not an absolute distance. We think it's in the ballpark." Laird said.
The odds of a supernova reaching 26 light years is one in 670 million.
For Laird and his colleagues, seven years of research is drawing to an end. Their research will be published in the March 10 edition of the Astrophysical Journal.
"It is exciting because we are telling our colleagues and the public about the results now," Gehrels said. "It's interesting to hear their comments and reactions."
Two weeks ago, they presented their findings to the American Astronomical Society.
"We only got five minutes," Laird said. "We got several questions, more than most presenters."

KU student places well in broadcast competition
A University of Kansas student finished in the top third of competitors in a broadcast competition.
Michael Bieke, a Powell, Wyo., senior in journalism, submitted two stories for the Hearst Foundation's annual broadcast competition.
Bieke spent a month and half researching water conservation and pollution and their effects on agriculture in Kansas. His efforts placed him 19th out of 60 competitors in the video division.
After graduating in May, Bieke plans to pursue a career at a television station.
"I work at Channel 27 now, but I only get to direct on weekends," Bieke said. "I'd like to find a job where I can preferably direct 5 days a week."

Med Center alumnus leaves behind donation
C. B. "Buzz" Francisco died in May 2002 and left an unrestricted $300,000 bequest to the University of Kansas
Medical Center and College of Liberal Arts.
Francisco's gift will go toward the KU First: Invest in Excellence fund, which is trying to raise $500 million by 2004. The money KU First raises will be used for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, capital projects and program support. John Scarffe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association, said he was pleased with the unrestricted bequest.
"KU Endowment is very pleased to have received a bequest from the Francisco estate," Scarfe said, "Especially because of the flexibility provided by the unrestricted nature of the gift."
Francisco graduated from the college in 1941 and from the Med Center in 1944.
Francisco completed his neurology residency at the Med Center in 1964. In 1970, he joined the staff at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and helped develop the child neurology department. Francisco has a long family history of KU graduates and wanted to give back to the University.

Judge issues death penalty in Robinson murder trial
OLATHE — John E. Robinson Sr. showed little emotion yesterday. Judge John Anderson III showed even less mercy, sentencing Robinson to death for murdering two women and stuffing their bodies into barrels on his rural Kansas property.
Anderson accepted a recommendation made by jurors on Nov. 2 that Robinson be executed.
Robinson, 59, was convicted Oct. 29 for the murders of Suzette Trouten, 27, of Michigan, and Izabela Lewicka, 21, a former Purdue University student.
Anderson also sentenced Robinson to five to 20 years in prison for interference with parental custody, a charge related to the adoption he arranged of Stasi's daughter; to 201/2 years for kidnapping Trouten, and seven months for the theft of sex toys.

Electronic journals replace library subscriptions
By Lauren Airey
lairey@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students researching Shakespeare or the Civil War won't have to make the trek to Watson or Anschutz libraries this semester if they have a computer nearby.
The University of Kansas Libraries have acquired access to several new electronic journals and databases since September.
Recently acquired journals include NewsBank, American Civil War: Letters and Diaries, The John Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory & Criticism, and
Clinical Pharmacology Online.
"In the past, if I wanted to review a published paper for class, or if I needed to get a copy for the students, I'd have to go to the library, check out the journal and make a photocopy," said Morris Faiman, professor of pharmacology and toxicology. "Now, I can pull up the paper electronically, and I can give the students the Web site to find the paper."
Electronic journals and databases can be accessed via the library's Web site, www.lib.ukans.edu/electro.html. Remote connections to the library's electronic resources may
require a login.
The most popular new database, Web of Science, came late in the fall semester. Web of Science indexes about 8,500 of the most important and influential journals in humanities, fine arts, social sciences and science, said Richard Fyffe, assistant dean of libraries for scholarly communications.
Tuition enhancement also funded the purchase of three more collections of JSTOR, an electronic collection of core academic journals. In the JSTOR package, the library accessed 122 titles in arts and sciences. 20 titles in business and 34 titles in language and literature.
The University of Kansas Libraries have acquired access to several new electronic journals and databases. Recently acquired journals include NewsBank, American Civil War: Letters and Diaries, John Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism, and Clinical Pharmacology.
NewsBank, added to the library system on Jan. 13, includes full-text content of local and regional newspapers. The American Civil War: Letters and Diaries database was also added to the University's library system on Jan. 13.The collection includes about 100,000 pages of unpublished memoirs, letters and diaries from individuals and 4,000 pages of previously unpublished materials drawn from more than 1,000 sources.
"We've consistently heard from students that they want more access to more electronic journals and databases," Fyffe said. "We've heard from students on our Senate library committee and from interactions at the reference desk. This was one of the things we thought we could do
that would benefit both students and faculty."
For 2003, the Libraries canceled 110 titles held in more than one library, 135 print titles represented in one or more databases and 550 subscription-based titles. These cancellations saved the University $309,946.
The cancellations were not changed because the tuition enhancement money came too late to reverse any of the changes, Fvffe said.
The canceled titles were generally selected because of their relatively high prices.
Issues may increase voter turnout

The competition to make decisions for Lawrence City Commission and school board is strong after 23 candidates filed for candidacy before the noon deadline yesterday.
Registered voters can go to the polls for the primary election Feb.25. The primary will trim the 11 city commission candidates and the 13 school board candidates to six each.
Those remaining candidates will move to the general election April 1.
The efforts of those in office and the elections go largely unnoticed by many, particularly KU students.
But this year's issues might encourage more students to vote, said outgoing city commissioner Marty Kennedy.
"It's been my experience that if the student votes in his hometown, he'll do the same thing
Look for profiles of Lawrence city commission and board of education candidates in upcoming issues of the Kansan
here," Kennedy said. "But I think with the financial position of the state and the budgetary crisis affecting the University, too, people are more aware of what's going on."
This year, registered voters in Lawrence will have the opportunity to drastically alter the city commission. Three of the five commission seats are open every two years, with the top two votegetters receiving four-year terms.
Last year, the Lawrence school board voted to trim costs by approving a bond that closes and consolidates schools, which has many educators worried that there may not be enough classrooms to teach in.
tion should not see student- teaching opportunities decrease, said Kent McAnally, assistant director for University Career and Employment Services.

Close-to-home campus jobs add convenience for students
By Jessica Palimenio
jpalimenio@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
About 500 KU students take advantage of the convenience of working where they live.
"It's convenient walking down one flight of stairs to go to work," Matt Rocha, Berryton sophomore and McCollum Hall resident, said.
Location isn't the only advantage to these positions.
Rocha said working at his hall's front desk gave him plenty of time to do homework, which he would probably put off if he were sitting upwards in his room.
He enjoys the benefits of the job and the contact with other students and staff so much that he would work at McCollum even if he lived off campus,
Rocha said.
The department employs students in a variety of positions from the front desk to food service to landscaping.
These jobs have varying duties from answering phones and filing mail at a residence hall desk to painting.
None of the jobs require previous experience, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
All available jobs are posted on the Student Employment Center's Web site.
The University of Kansas Department of Student Housing employs between 600 and 700 students total. Stoner said.
Residents tend to get priority for positions within their own buildings because of the convenience. If someone cannot
Work his shift, it is easy for a supervisor to call another employee in the building to coverit, Stoner said.
Most housing jobs pay the campus minimum wage, $6, but Stoner said some positions would make a little bit more because they were harder to fill.
Students are also eligible for raises after they work 300 hours as student housing employees.
As with any job, there are drawbacks to working for the housing department.
"I don't have to go anywhere, but sometimes it's a pain in the butt because I don't get to leave my job," Jacob Brown, Fort Scott senior and Oliver Hall resident assistant, said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Copyright law chokes creativity
At Applebee's, the staff comes out, forms a conga line, starts clapping and sings some obnoxious song to celebrate a customer's birthday. But they never sing "Happy Birthday."
The reason: "Happy Birthday," which was first published in 1893, is still under copyright.
The ability to sing "Happy Birthday" at a restaurant may seem trivial, but the copyright on the song is only one example of a larger shift in control from the consumer to the creator.
College campuses may well be at the epicenter of this trend, as the legal battle over Napster demonstrated.
This fall, webcasters, including the University of Kansas' own KJHK, fought a battle over fees. The new fees have forced many college stations to shut down for merely broadcasting over the Internet what was already going out over FM radio. Students are some of the heaviest users of Internet technology, and as a group, we consume a tremendous amount of copyrighted material.
"Happy Birthday" would have entered the public domain in 1991 according to laws at the time of its publication. But because of retroactive copyright extensions, the latest being the Copyright Term Extension Act, the popular song won't pass into public domain until 2030.
It won't likely happen then, either. Lawrence Lessig, Stanford law professor, said copyright terms have expanded 11 times in the past 40 years, "not just for new works that are going to be created, but existing works."
This continuous and unrelenting destruction of the public domain drove Lessig to sue to overturn the 1998 CTEA, for which Disney, among others, lobbied for heavily. The case, Eldred v Ashcroft, was decided Jan. 15 by the Supreme Court — Mickey Mouse won 7-2. Had the act been overturned, the original Mickey Mouse cartoon "Steamboat Willie" and "Happy Birthday" might well be in the public domain.
College students are in the position to not only understand this dangerous trend, but also to hold it back.
At a crucial time in deciding the future of copyright law, understanding the importance of innovation for students in the sciences, arts, business and every other major imaginable area is crucial to the battle. The passage of legislation has demonstrated the consequence of idly sitting by and letting Disney and the record companies decide the future.
As Bill Gates once wrote, "if people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today."
Engineering, computer science and the arts all thrive by building on the past. If the past cannot be improved upon because copyright blocks it innovation ends.
The public domain is crucial to the progress of our economy, our culture and our creativity.

PERSPECTIVE
Cloning creates ethical concerns
Human cloning is a bad idea whose time has come.
Well, almost.
Three weeks ago, Clonald, a scientific subsidiary of the Raelian religious sect, announced to the press that its research had led to the birth of a cloned baby.
The announcement was like an answer to a bored reporter's prayer. Raeliens believe that life on earth was created by visiting aliens and that one of humanity's duties as their creation is to make clones. The founder of the religion, a French former race car driver who calls himself Rael, wore a garment culled from the Star Trek convention bargain bin in his numerous television appearances. Brigitte Boisselier, the wild-haired director of Clonaid, said proof of its cloning claim would be forthcoming.
It wasn't. Clonaid has since refused to submit the baby and mother to genetic tests to prove its claim or even reveal the identity of the pair.
COMMENTARY
The company's failure to demonstrably produce a cloned infant does not mean the technique has no future. But it does have serious implications for the future of humanity.
COMMENTARY
Human cloning comes in two varieties: reproductive and therapeutic. The aim of reproductive cloning is a baby with the exact same genetic material as its parent. Thus, such a child would be the identical

own or its mom or dad, although born decades later. Therapeutic cloning aims only to produce embryos genetically identical to their adult human parents. Those clumps of cells would then be chemically convinced to turn into tissues the parent needs to treat an ailment. A new liver, for instance, could theoretically be grown this way and transplanted into the donor of its DNA.
so many embryos in pursuit of just one child to be wrong.
Both types of human cloning pose ethical problems.
When reproductive cloning is successful, the resulting children might suffer psychological damage from a lack of genetic individuality as they are compared to their earlier-born identical twins.
Cloning begins with the removal of the nucleus from a mature human egg cell and replacing it with the genetic material of the person or animal being cloned. Some fear that this would create a huge market for egg donors and turn women's reproductive organs into a commodity. Most reproductive clonings are unsuccessful. 277 cloned sheep embryos were needed to produce one lamb, Dolly, the first cloned mammal, and some find the willful destruction of
"What will happen when the adolescent clone of Mommy becomes the spitting image of the woman with whom Daddy once fell in love?" National Bioethics Advisory Commission Chair Leon Kass wondered in a 2001 essay.
Widespread reproductive cloning would be bad for the human species as it would reduce our genetic diversity. Like inbreeding, cloning would make our species more prone to disease by making us more homogeneous.
But even with all these downsides, human cloning is certain to become a reality. Testifying against a bill to ban human cloning two years ago, Boisselier said, "If it becomes impossible to [clone] in this country, we will go elsewhere. And if no country on this planet allows it, we will do it on a boat in international waters."
Like other bad ideas, cloning is bound to haunt us for years to come.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor's note: The following is a collection of letters submitted between Dec. 12 and Jan. 21.
Dear editor:
Right on, Joe!
Smoking pot does indeed hurt others. It financially supports organized crime. It screws up the lives of the friends and family of the smoker, not just the user. You can rarely find a cocaine, meth or heroin addict who did not begin with pot.
I am 54 years old. The drug use that began in the free-for-all time of the 1960s has resulted in great devastation to families everywhere. Many of my contemporaries are dead, their marriages failed and their children's lives ruined.
The amazing thing is that fools still debate the harm done by personal choices regarding drugs. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley and many others are not here to tell us the truth. But the fools playing around with it today are only too ready to spread their ignorance.
The 30-year experiment with drugs has long since reached its conclusion. Drugs screw up your ability to reason, control yourself and your life!
Warren Bainter, Oberlin, Kan.
I'm writing in response to Ryan Wood's column, "Rowing gives glory to females." As a former walk-on rower and basketball player, as well as a colleague of Mr. Wood's on the Kansan, I couldn't be more disappointed in his choosing the women's rowing team as his latest whipping boy.
Dear editor:
While there are obviously problems in collegiate athletics, the rowing team is the antithesis of all those negative headlines. The rowers represent the best qualities of student athletes. The team is consistently ranked in the top 25 in the nation and has one of the top three grade point averages for teams at Kansas. And coach Cattloth's team always has the greatest number of 4.0 student athletes. No one ever questions our graduation rate. And isn't that what college athletics should be all about?
I also take extreme offense to the belief that my teammates were merely decent athletes in high school. I invite Mr. Wood to attempt one rowing work-out and then decide how "athletic" these women are. Rowers at Kansas have never been "given" any glory—they've worked hard for everything they've ever received.
Finally, Mr. Wood, I can only hope your daughter is lucky enough to participate in college athletics. It was the greatest experience of my life. But I guess it really isn't about luck, is it? It's about hard work, dedication and determination. And you will never find a more determined group of women than the rowing team. The fact of the matter is that misinformed people like you will not deter these women, it will only cause them to work harder.
Ali Brox, class of 2002

Instead of trying to rationally connect the dots behind what occurred on Sept. 11 (and what will likely occur in the future), she refuses to look at facts and merely resorts to hyperbole and exaggeration.
It takes some effort for a journalist to be so willfully blind, and the only explanation must be that Ms. Kelleher is looking for a job selling cars.
She ridicules those who would dare question the link between this country's growing addiction for foreign oil, a screwed-up foreign policy, and terrorism.
Ray Finch, Instructor, Applied English Center
Dear editor:
I am writing in regards to the articles written during this past semester by Eric Borja. I just wanted to let him know that his articles, especially "Senior remembers early years, ponders looming graduation," were some of the most entertaining Kansan pieces I had read in my four years at KU.
somewhat bitter chuckle – best not to be too emotional about the editorial board.
I did not read them all, but I know I enjoyed the ones I did have time to read. I know opinion columnists usually get shot down by the masses, but I just wanted to let him know he did a great job.
Chance Jay Smart
Dear editor:
Matt Pirotte's Jan. 17 article for the editorial board, "Potential scholars shafted by policy," left me uncertain whether to scream, laugh or cry. I chose a
It still strikes me as an odd piece, moaning about the University's budget-based decision not to give full-ride scholarships automatically to out-of-state National Merit Scholars. For years now, the Kansan has blasted KU for recruiting National Merit Scholars so heavily in the first place, as a quick search of the online archive reveals. Chancellor Hemenway was sometimes derided — sometimes simply mocked — for his National Merit recruitment goal.
KU's various policies relating to National Merit scholars were attacked on all sorts of grounds, from sour-grapes whining to charges of elitism. And now the editorial board thinks it's terrible that KU is reducing National-Merit expenditures! I recognize that membership on the editorial board changes, but suddenly to reverse a position held fairly consistently for several years strikes me as more deeply rooted than changing membership. I think perhaps the editorial board understands its role as simply to criticize whatever decisions the University makes. "KU's recruiting National Merit scholars? How awful! What? KU's not recruiting as National Merit scholars as heavily? How awful!"
Perhaps the editorial board should consider taking informed, reasoned positions, not simply engage in juvenile contrarianism. It's easy to fault everything KU does until, of course, one tries to think of alternatives or make positive contributions to the University community.

Student helps pay for tuition with modeling career

Travé, Prairie Village junior, has been professionally modeling since she was 11. Now 20, she still enjoys her time in the spotlight.
Elizabeth Trave struts her stuff on the runway to help pay for college expenses.
Despite making $600 for a 30-minute show, she realizes that modeling is not a long-term career for her.
"This usually ends up being a dead-end job," Trave said. "It's more of a hobby rather than a career for me. When you show up for jobs, they either want you to gain 2 pounds, lose 2 pounds, or cut your hair. You really have to fit the part, which is constantly changing."
Travé's parents have supported her but not pushed her throughout her career. Ginger Lunt, Trave's mother, has modeled for Coca-Cola in the past.
Looks go a long way for Elizabeth Trave, Prairie Village junior, whose lucrative hobby happens walking down runways. Trave also modeled prom dresses and was a life-size Barbie doll to help earn money for college.
"I've never pushed her to model," Lunt said. "She knows that it's not a dependable career. What's she going to do when she's my age?" Lunt said.
Although he knows that Trave favors doing live runway shows, he would like her to expand her career.
Kaba, says he's "flattered" his girlfriend is a professional model.
"I'd love to open up a Victoria's Secret catalog and see Elizabeth modeling in it," Kaba said. "It doesn't bother me when other guys look at her — it's no surprise."
Trave's jobs have ranged from being a life-size Barbie doll at FAO Schwartz to modeling prom dresses at department stores. Her favorite job was modeling in a fashion show for Bebe at Club Life in Kansas City.
Trave's boyfriend, Adam
While Trave has always modeled clothes, she said she wouldn't turn down an opportunity to model in the nude.
"Nude modeling isn't such a big deal to me," Travé said. "As long as the photos show class and good taste, I don't care."

Illegal immigrants lobby for driver's licenses
"We want to do the right thing. This law, as it is now, is making criminals out of hardworking, decent people," said Emira Palacios, a member of the Wichita-based group Sunflower Community Action/Hispanos Unidos.
TOPEKA - Proponents of allowing illegal immigrants to obtain Kansas driver's licenses pressed their case yesterday with legislators and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
Currently, immigrants seeking driver's licenses must present proof that they are in the United States legally.
That law was passed in 2000 after two Colorado residents were caught in Salina bringing immigrants to Kansas to obtain licenses.
a bill revising the law failed in the House last year.
Palacios said illegal immigrants drive without licenses anyway.
The group of about 40 people who came to the Capitol from Salina, Garden City and Wichita hoped to schedule a future meeting with Sebelius.
Kansas would gain financially by granting licenses to illegal immigrants, the advocates said.

Pentagon wants to mine personal privacy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Possible FBI involvement in a high-tech Pentagon project that sifts through Americans' personal information raises new concerns about privacy and civil liberties. Sen. Charles Grassley said yesterday.
The Defense Department's inspector general, Joseph Schmitz, told Grassley, R-Iowa, in a letter that the FBI was working on a memorandum of understanding with the Pentagon "for possible experimentation" with the data-mining project.
Disclosure of FBI contacts regarding the Total Information Awareness project "only heightens my concern about the blurring of lines between domestic law enforcement and military
security efforts," said Grassley, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and a frequent critic of the FBI.
Schmitz also told Grassley he would order an audit to help the Pentagon develop sufficient privacy safeguards that do not exist now to ensure the project has adequate protections for computer security and people's privacy.
The project, being developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, would collect and mine huge amounts of data, including telephone records, credit card transactions, travel information and medical records.
The goal of the effort, headed by retired Rear Adm. John Poindexter, is to spot clues and patterns that possibly could identify would-be terrorists.
Grassley asked Attorney General John Ashcroft for detailed information about the possible involvement of the FBI and Justice Department and those agencies' potential uses of the information. Justice Department and FBI officials had no immediate comment yesterday.
The proposal has drawn sharp criticism from government watchdog groups and from some Democrats in Congress, who have proposed legislation to shut it down as a threat to Americans' privacy and civil liberties.
In the aftermath of the 2001 terror attacks, the government already is using powerful new domestic wiretap and surveillance abilities.
"At a time when Americans are calling for more privacy of personal information, this program would provide a back door to databases of private information," said the American Civil Liberties Union, the conservative Eagle Forum and seven other watchdog groups last week in a letter to Congress.
In his letter to Ashcroft, Grassley said the FBI and Justice Department "may have been less than forthright" to the press and public about potential law enforcement uses of data collected and analyzed under the Pentagon project.
"We need to strike a balance between targeting terrorists with everything we've got and also protecting the rights and freedoms cherished by Americans," Grassley said. "Military dollars shouldn't be spent on domestic law enforcement."
Bush to increase federal spending
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush will propose boosting overall spending for federal agencies next year by 4 percent, less than half the growth expected this year, the White House budget director said yesterday.
The figure seemed to presage a battle over the coming months between Bush and congressional Democrats — and perhaps some Republicans — over whether his proposed increases for security at home and the wide range of other domestic programs are sufficient
Budget chief Mitchell Daniels provided few details, saying only that domestic security programs
would get the largest increases in the budget Bush releases next month, followed by defense and finally by agencies covering the rest of government. Domestic priorities will include veterans and education, he said.
In a conference call with reporters, Daniels said healthy increases for overall government spending in recent years made it "very realistic to slow down and in some cases digest a little bit the very large infusions that have been experienced in some quarters of government."
He cited the departments of Health and Human Services and Education as having grown substantially in recent years.
Though the government's current budget year began last Oct. 1, Congress has yet to complete 11 of the 13 spending bills that finance federal agencies. The stalemate has arisen because Democrats and some Republicans have felt that Bush short-changed homeland security, education and a host of other domestic programs. The president has sought to hold the line on spending at a time when massive federal deficits have returned.
Along with Bush, majority Republicans in the House and Senate are hoping to limit the 13 bills — including two covering the Pentagon — to $750 billion
this year. That could be 9 percent more than 2002.
Daniels said Bush would propose increasing the $750 million by 4 percent, just more than $30 billion, in his next budget.
"Even those accounts that cannot have the priority of winning the war on terror or defending the lives of Americans at home still will be amply funded" in the president's budget, he said.
Daniels said that after determining how much money would be needed for defense and domestic security, "the president settled on a guideline that the government's budget ought not increase by more than the typical American family."
Rumsfeld regrets offensive comments
The Associated Press
Rumsfeld issued the written apology shortly after three Democrats in Congress expressed outrage at his remark that draftees had added "no value, no advantage" to the U.S. military because they served for such short periods.
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld apologized to veterans yesterday for comments he made on the military draft that he said had been misconstrained by some as disparaging their service.
The letter signed by Sens. Tom Daschle of South Dakota and John Kerry of Massachusetts and
Rep. Lane Evans of Illinois argued that Rumsfeld's remarks at a Jan. 7 Pentagon news conference were offensive to veterans.
"We are shocked, frankly, that you were apparently willing to dismiss the value of the service of millions of Americans, tens of thousands of whom gave their lives for their country in World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam." they wrote.
Rumsfeld made his comments Jan. 7 in response to a reporter's question about an effort by some in Congress to reinstitute the draft. Rumsfeld said he saw no need for a draft because the all-volunteer system works better.
"If you think back to when we had the draft, people were brought in, they were paid some fraction of what they could make in the civilian manpower market because they were without choices," Rumsfeld said.
"Big categories were exempted
Big categories were exempted — people that were in college, people that were teaching, people that were married. It varied from time to time, but there were all kinds of exemptions. And what was left was sucked into the intake, trained for a period of months, and then went out, adding no value, no advantage, really, to the United States armed services over any sustained period
of time because the churning that took place, it took enormous amount of effort in terms of training, and then they were gone."
In his written apology yesterday, Rumsfeld said he had not meant to say drafttees added no value while they were serving. Rumsfeld said he had no intention of disparaging the service of draftees.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sprint Corp. reached tentative deals with workers in five states who had threatened to walk off the job yesterday if contract issues were not settled before an early afternoon deadline.
The strike would have affected about 2,700 local telephone employees in Florida, Indiana, Oregon, Tennessee and North Carolina who are represented by the union.
John Howard, assistant to the vice president for the Communications Workers of America telecommunications division, said the Overland Park, Kan.-based company reached agreements yesterday with workers in all five states. Employees still must approve the deals.
The last strike in Sprint's local telephone division was in 1989, when 124 employees in northern New Jersey walked off the job for 165 days.
Howard said issues that were in dispute until Tuesday morning varied for each local union. They included contract
duration, contract labor and health care benefits.
One of the sticking points in several of the contracts had been a proposal that in certain cases would have allowed the company lay off employees without regard to seniority. Howard said. Sprint withdrew that proposal.
"We considered those job security/employee respect issues." Howard said.
The deadline for two other contracts still under negotiation in Missouri and Kansas is Jan. 31. The layoff proposal is still on the bargaining table in those states, but Howard said he expected the company to withdraw it.
Sprint spokeswoman Laura Lisec had said that if employees were to strike, Sprint would have used managers and contract workers from around the country to step into their jobs — the majority of which are service technician employees — to "maintain customer service."
The union represents approximately 4,500 Sprint employees throughout the country.
WASHINGTON —The Rev. Al Sharpton joined the race for the Democrats' 2004 presidential nomination yesterday, saying the party needed to expand its base of support.

Sharpton, who has unsuccessfully run for New York mayor and the U.S. Senate, has been outspoken on many local and national issues, most notably on police brutality in the highly publicized cases of Amadou Diallo and Abner Louima.
He also served 90 days in a federal jail for protesting the U.S. military bombing on the tiny Puerto Rican island of Vieues.
Sharpton joins a crowded field of Democratic contenders, including Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts, John Edwards of North Carolina and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
Sharpton said he would use his comparative lack of campaign funds as a point in criticizing his rivals.
"We've got to stop the corporate
mentality of politics and go back to the people," Sharpton said. "I think we've reduced America too much now to who has the dollars rather than who has the message."
Asked about Sharpton's candidacy, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, "We have a wonderful system in America. There's 280 million people in America that can run."
Bloomberg, a Republican, described Sharpton as "charming and not reticent to say what he believes. He has a right to run and God bless him."
Two Americans killed in terror attack
The Associated Press
KUWAIT CITY A gunman ambushed two Americans driving near a U.S.military base yesterday in Kuwait, killing one and wounding another in what U.S. officials branded a terror attack.
The shooting was the first assault on U.S. civilians in Kuwait and the third on Americans since October in the oil-rich emirate, where pro-American sentiment is usually strong and where thousands of U.S. troops are assembling for a possible war on Iraq.
The victims — civilian contractors working for the U.S. military
— were traveling in a four-wheel drive Toyota when they came under a hail of bullets.
The U.S. Embassy identified the man killed as Michael Rene Pouliot, 46, of San Diego, an employee of a software development company, Tapestry Solutions.
Tapestry identified the injured man as another employee, David Caraway, a senior software engineer. He was in stable condition in a Kuwait hospital after surgery to remove bullets, including two from his chest. He also had arm and thigh wounds, a hospital official said.
ity for the attack. U.S. and Kuwaiti officials said they believed a single gunman fired a Kalashnikov assault rifle at the vehicle. The attacker then fled.
"We condemn this terrorist incident, which has tragically cost the life of an innocent American citizen," said U.S. Ambassador Richard Jones.
No group claimed responsibil
The gunman apparently hid behind trees and bushes beside a stoplight at an intersection on Highway 85 three miles from Camp Doha — a U.S. military installation housing some 17,000 American troops stationed in Kuwait, where 8,000 U.S. civilians
also live.
In Washington, the White House said Americans were working with Kuwaiti investigators to determine who was behind the attack, which underscored the hostility some feel toward Americans even in Muslim nations considered sympathetic to the United States.

Graves gains playing time, steps up game
Kansas to take on Colorado
Damn, it feels good to be right. Though being right is one of my favorite hobbies, I must give some props to Wayne Simien for dislocating his shoulder and giving junior Jeff Graves an opportunity to shine.
Graves chipped in 8 points and a career-high 13 rebounds in Saturday's 81-64 victory over Kansas State. Graves' 11 defensive rebounds set a KU individual season high.
Before the season started, it was up in the air whether Graves would ever see the court this season. His weight created big concerns for Kansas fans.

At that point I said that the success of this team could depend upon his progress. On a Jayhawk team that, unlike last year's team, lacks depth, a big, tough, 6-foot-9-inch forward off the bench is critical.
Graves struggled in his first few appearances. He averaged around 2 points per game in his first 11 games. Graves seemed to drop every pass he received in the paint. He was uncomfortable on offense and a step slow on defense.
I stuck with him. I thought that by the end of the season, when we really needed him, he would develop into a reliable sixth or seventh man. I thought he was capable of giving a double-double every night he saw a decent amount of court time. With the Simien injury we needed him sooner than I predicted.
Graves showed up right when Kansas needed him. In the four games since Graves stepped in for Simien, he has averaged just under a double-double. He has snatched 10 or more rebounds in each of the last five games.

You've got to trust that a coach who has more than 400 wins knows when he sees a good player. The tattoos, cornrows and rough play reminiscent of Maryland's Chris Wilcox, a player that helped Maryland eliminate Kansas from last year's Final Four, maybe just what the 'Hawks need.
Though a player that averaged 11.8 minutes a game can't be expected to fill the shoes of a player that averaged 27 minutes a game.
In just two minutes and two seconds, Graves let loose for three rebounds, one assist, one steal and yes, another dunk. These two minutes gave Kansas basketball fans a glimpse at what I suspected all along —Jeff Graves has potential.
Graves has done well. Through 12 games, Simien averaged 15.9 points per game and 8.7 rebounds per game. Since the injury, Graves has averaged a fewer points but a few more rebounds.
Graves also needs to stay out of foul trouble. Both Graves and senior Nick Collison had notched up two fouls each less than a fourth of the way through Saturday's game. This forced Williams to shuffle the lineup and play some zone defense.
"I need him to relax a little offensively because he is missing a lot of easy shots, and I think he is just rushing them. I think once he relaxes he'll do a better job of shooting the basketball," Williams said after Saturday's game.
Jeff Graves has stepped his game up and just in time.
Graves needs to improve in a only few areas. He needs to finish in the paint. He missed two consecutive layups at the end of the first half on Saturday. Coach Roy Williams also felt Graves needed to feel more comfortable on the offensive end of the floor.

Former Kansas forward Drew Gooden left for the NBA. Former Colorado forward D.J. Harrison graduated. Still, the much publicized feud between the two big men lingers in Internet chat rooms and the occasional radio talk show.
Harrison and his brother David — who still plays for Colorado — traded barbs in the media and hard fouls on the court with Gooden and other Kansas
players during their meetings last season, with origins in the 2000- 2001 season.
When D.J. returned to Allen Fieldhouse in November as a member
of the the EA Sports All-Stars, he repeatedly refused to speak with reporters.
But if the fans and media are interested in continuing the rivalry when No. 6 Kansas meets Colorado at 8. tonight, the current Jayhawks and David Harrison insist they are not.

"I didn't have a problem with either one," Keith Langford said when asked if there would be bad blood between the older Harrison and the Jayhawks. "I think it was a personal thing between them and Drew. If he's still thinking about that, that's just immature."
See page 6B for additional men's basketball coverage.
Harrison definitely remembers the incidents and the jeers from Kansas fans but said neither he nor his brother hated Kansas. In fact, he and his family have become close friends with sophomore forward Wayne Simien's family at the Big 12 Conference's preseason press

"It's funny," Harrison said. "Everyone thinks we're these thugs. I mean, we're from Tennessee. We live on a farm."

Luckily for the Jayhawks, they are getting strong contributions from their five starters. Three starters are averaging double figures, not including sophomore forward Wayne Simien, who was averaging 15.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game before he was injured during a game against the University of Missouri-Kansas City. His replacement, junior forward Jeff Graves, averages just 4.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game this season but has notched three double-doubles in his last five games. The only other starter who doesn't score more than 16.4 games, sophomore guard Aaron Miles, is close with 8.8 points per game while dishing an average of 7.4 assists.

Throughout the past two weeks, the Kansas women's basketball team (7-8, 0-4) has taken a heavy dose of what competition is like in the Big 12 Conference.
The team has experienced almost every type of loss you can imagine since the conference schedule started. A loss by 2 at Iowa State and a loss by 4 at Oklahoma State have forced the team to play harder down the stretch. A loss by 39

To help her young squad, coach Marian Washington is making
ing for a repeat of their 79-57 triumph over the Jayhawks' last season. In order to stay competitive with a team of Oklahoma's caliber, Washington thinks her team's energy could play a major role.
"We are trying to cut the game into four-minute units," Washington said. "Just anything to help them see the game in pieces."
"Our kids get so riled up in the locker room," Washington said. "We are at a point right now where we are trying not to allow that kind of energy to dissipate."

Two players who will be looking to make a big impact tonight are sophomore guard Aquanita Burras and junior forward Keila Beachem.

"I think that their defense is very active," Washington said. "If you are not poised and you are not really sure of yourself, then I think they really create opportunities for themselves."
Keila Beachem's situation is different
than Burras'.
In the team's last two games, Beachem has averaged 14 minutes per game off the bench, producing 4 points, four rebounds and three steals per contest. On a bigger stage against a ranked opponent, Beachem can earn more regular playing time with another strong performance.

Cold weather signals coaching changes
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The winter season brings on coaching changes in college athletics. Athletic directors assess coaches for their fall seasons and fire, hire or give contract extensions.
Last December, Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, hired Mark Mangino as football coach. Almost one year later, Mangino received a one-year contract extension. Bohl said Mangino's experience made him the right candidate for the job.
"One of the things that we look for at the University of Kansas is an understanding of Kansas recruitment," Bohl said. "After that it was the ability to discipline players and public relations skills."
PETER MARQUARDT
When hiring a coach, Bohl said, candidates sometimes contact Kansas with a desire to coach a sport. The athletics department also seeks coaches who seem to
Mangino
fit and identify those coaches interested. When assistant coaches are being hired and fired, the coach of that sport is in charge of personnel.
In the last year, Kansas has hired new football, baseball, women's golf and swimming and diving coaches.
Big 12 Conference teams have already hired and fired several coaches this offseason. Both Baylor and Texas A&M
shuffled football coaches. Texas A&M ousted R. C. Slocum after a 6-6 record. Slocum, the winningest coach in Texas A&M history, never had a losing season.
"They were able to sign Dennis Franchione out of Alabama," Carter said. "He's a fantastic coach who has Texas connections."
Bo Carter, assistant commissioner of the Big 12, said that Texas A&M fired Slocum because it wanted to try something new.
Baylor football coach Kevin Steele fell under different circumstances, never
Texas A&M president Robert Gates fired Slocum despite Slocum's landing what some recruiting experts labeled the number-one recruiting class in the nation. Since the firing, two recruits have decommitted, Carter said.
attaining a winning season during his tenure in Waco, Texas. Baylor also fired its women's soccer coach.
Bohl said knowing when to fire a coach depended on the institution, the sport and the situation.
"At this level of Division IA, in general, a tenure for a losing coach will probably stay anywhere from three to six seasons," Bohl said. "You have to factor in the circumstances of the university and the overall financial situation."
No Kansas coach currently has three consecutive losing seasons. Marian Washington, Kansas' women's basketball coach, has two losing seasons in a row. The women's basketball team is currently 7-8.

Harrison boys and trash talk
Remember back in the day when a basketball game against Colorado meant nothing but just another almost-guaranteed mark in the victory column? Those days are over, thanks to a modern-day version of Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee: David and D.J. Harrison.
Because of the their cockiness and thug persona, many Jayhawk fans now circle their calendars every time Kansas and Colorado meet.
Before last year's Feb. 1 home game versus the Buffaloues, D.J. Harrison, who recently graduated, said, "It just so happens that every time I play Kansas I get in a scuffle. It's a big rivalry. I get hyped for the game."
This so-called rivalry does not exist.
Rivalry? You talkin' about a rivalry?
For one, there is no history of great games between these two teams. Kansas has won 27 straight games against Colorado. That includes 11 consecutive victories in Boulder, Colo. with average victory margin of 13 points per game. Coach Roy Williams is 32-1 lifetime versus the Buffaloes, and Colorado coach Ricardo Patton has never defeated the Jayhawks in his seven years at the helm. While Kansas won the Big 12 Conference regular season title last season, Colorado finished in ninth place. In the past four seasons, the highest Patton's Buffaloes have finished in the conference was seventh.
But since D.J. Harrison has graduated, the Jayhawks now have to deal with little brother David. Throughout last season, David Harrison, who's averaging 14.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season, has been talking smack on Kansas in the press.
Last year, David Harrison claimed about fighting, "They're not going to try to do that. But if they did, they'd lose."
Davie, shouldn't you talk about the game itself? What, you thinking about bullying and stealing people's lunch money by threatening to pummel them into submission?
Two years ago in a game in Boulder, D.J. Harrison got into the face of some Jayhawks players after Nick Collison committed a intentional foul on thenBuffalo Jose Winston, who was going for a breakaway basket. After the game, D.J. boasted that Colorado was close to being as good as Kansas. "We're one or two pieces away from Kansas," he said.
Listen, boys. Get some talent, better coaching, a tough schedule, make it to the NCAA tournament year in and year out, and actually win some meaningful games — then we can talk.
Otherwise, stay in the cellar of the Big 12 and shut your mouth

Texas A&M
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A Texas A&M basketball player was released from the Brazos County Jail Monday after being arrested for possession of a controlled substance early Sunday morning.
ATM
Senior center Andy Slocum was charged with two counts of possessing a controlled substance and
spent Sunday night in jail. He posted a $30,000 bail.'
A&M men's basketball coach Melvin Watkins said that Slocum would be suspended from the team until the details could be worked out and all the information gathered.
"I'm still waiting to get some more details, and until then I don't want to rush into any type of decision or make any comments because I just don't have all the information yet," Watkins said. "(Andy's) going to step away from the team until we get all the information."
College Station Police received a phone call that someone was selling ecstasy outside a house on Turkey Creek Road.
Officer Henderson of the College Station Police Department said he had responded to the phone call. As he approached, he observed a group of four men in front of the house and saw two individuals talking with each other, whom he later identified as Slocum and Jared Morris, a junior linebacker for the A&M football team.
Following their discussion, Slocum got into his Chevrolet Tahoe and closed the door, while apparently searching for something on the floorboard of his vehicle. Seconds later, he reappeared from his vehicle and the other three men, including Morris, huddled around the driver's door.
The police report said Morris then handed over to Slocum what appeared to be cash and then cupped his hands as Slocum dropped an unidentified object into Morris' hands, which Henderson said was a typical narcotics transaction
After witnessing these actions by Slocum and Morris, Henderson identified himself as a police officer. Henderson's report said the two appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and that Slocum's responses were incoherent.
Henderson then looked inside the window of the Tahoe and saw a large Ziploc bag containing syringes, brown glass bottles and prescription medicine bottles on top of the center console.
Henderson asked Slocum if there was anything he should know about inside the car. Slocum said no and then gave the officer permission to search his vehicle.
Police then found more drugs and syringes, including a pink pill and one vial that read "Anabolic St." on a label. Police also found a paper with a schedule for taking steroids. The pink pill found in Slocum's Tahoe tested positive for methamphetamine, or "ecstasy."
When asked by police about the steroids and other drugs in the car, Slocum told police that he didn't know about any steroids or syringes in his truck, and not everything in the truck was his.
Police then told him that because the truck belonged to him, anything inside belonged to him as well. Slocum refused
"I'm still waiting to get some more details. and until then I don't want to rush into any type of decision or make any comments because I just don't have all the information yet."

to tell police what did and did not belong to him inside the truck.
Morris said he had never met Slocum before, and he had told Slocum, "The beer isn't doing it for me." Slocum then told Morris he had something in his truck that might work better for him. Morris said he assumed Slocum meant liquor and followed him to the truck.
When Slocum appeared to offer Morris ecstasy, Morris refused but did not elaborate to police what happened after that and denied that any cash was exchanged between him and Slocum.
Morris was arrested last fall for speeding and driving while intoxicated, which resulted in a brief suspension by thenfootball coach R.C. Slocum. The DWI charge was dropped by Brazos County Attorney Jim Kuboviak a few days later because of a lack of evidence.
Watkins said he was shocked when he heard the news because he had no knowledge of Slocum ever failing a drug test.
Arizona gains No.1 rank despite injuries
By Maxx Wolfson

Arizona Daily Wildcat via U-wire
University of Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz. — Lute Olson's response to regaining the No. 1 ranking Monday was the same as it was when the team had it just four weeks ago.
"Frankly, we're not even close to No. 1 yet in terms of how we're playing," the Hall of Fame University of Arizona coach said about receiving all but five first place votes Monday.
But after a 35-point win, completing a sweep of the Los Angeles schools for the first time in 10 years, a perfect 6-0 record in the Pac-10 Conference and its only loss by one point without one of its All-American candidates, this team is still not happy with the way it's playing?
"We still have a lot of areas where we need to improve," senior guard Jason Gardner said.
But Olson's biggest concern is still getting everyone healthy.
Entering what most Arizona players and coaches are calling the Wildcats' (13-1, 6-0) toughest week of games — at home against Arizona State tonight and on the road at No. 6 Kansas Saturday — it could be a good barometer of where this team is halfway through the season.
Freshman Hassan Adams, who injured his right ankle in practice last week and re-injured it against USC, said he should be OK by tip-off Wednesday.
"It's hurting a little, and I'm not going to practice," said Adams, who played just 14 minutes against UCLA and walked around McKale Center Monday with his ankle wrapped.
The Wildcats are also going to hold for Luke Walton out of practice Tuesday, as his injured ankle is still sore. Both Adams and Walton will work out in the conditioning room with the team trainer.
five days away, it could be easy to overlook Arizona State, a team that has only one winning season under ASU coach Rob Evans.
A
With Kansas just
But this isn't a typical ASU team. The Sun Devils are seven games over 500 and are playing their best basketball in years.
"This is far and away his best team since he has been there," said Olson about the fifth-year coach. "We're not a team that is going to be looking ahead."
One big reason for ASU's success has been freshman Ike Diogu, the team's leader in points, at 18.4 per game.
"He is a serious threat. He's shooting very well from the line and the field," said Olson about the 6-foot-8-inch, 250-pound center."He is a big body and posts up well. They really look for him a lot."
UA sophomore center Channing Frye, a native of Phoenix, will get the call early covering Diogu.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2003
"I'm not really going to focus on just me and him, I know people are going to hype this up being the battle of the big guys," Frye said.
But Frye struggled against his hometown team in his freshman season, scoring just a combined 12 points in three games against the Sun Devils.
It's been a combination of injuries and personnel that have been the reason for the Wildcats' lack of running their much-hyped full-court press lately.
The problem with pressing is that Olson doesn't want to use it when Frye, Rick Anderson and Walton are on the court at the same time. and all three of them start the game together.
Plus, with sophomore Salim Stoudamire still not 100 percent from his early ankle injury, Olson would rather just continue playing half-court defense than take away from Stoudamire offensively.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 3B
Price looks to make fresh start,changes
New coach wants to do much more than just rebuild
By Daniel Berk
Kansan sportswriter
dberk@kansan.com
If the word rebuilding is used once during the 2003 Kansas baseball season, one thing is for sure; it will not come from the mouth of coach Ritch Price.
A year after finishing the season seven games below. 500, and a 5-21 Big 12 Conference record, it was out with the old and in with the new for the Kansas Baseball squad. The Jayhawks said goodbye to former coach Bobby Randall and hello to the new coach, Price.
Although there will be a lot of changes from last season and little will remain the same, Price will not term this season as a rebuilding one.
"Right now, we have a lot of talent," Price said. "We are worried about this season. We want to be as successful as we can right now. We had a team meeting earlier, and it was said that the term 'rebuilding' will not be used around here."
Some people might not think that the Kansas baseball job is a glamorous one among Division I baseball. Price disagreed.
Even though the team has not had a winning season since the 1997 campaign, Price thought that coaching in Lawrence was a big opportunity.
"From the day I got the job, I have been thrilled," Price said. "I have called this job a sleeping giant because I think representing KU is a very special opportunity, and I am glad to have it."
The Jayhawks will start their 2003 season Friday as they travel to Hawaii to play six games in three days at Hawaii-Hilo.
Kansas opens the season with the biggest question mark coming from behind the plate, as senior Beau Thompson was lost for the season, suffering stress fractures in his back that will end his career. Senior transfer Sean Flynn is the expected opening-day starter and junior Jake Kauzlarich will back him up.
Perhaps the most unproven part of the team is the pitching staff. The Jayhawks have lost three quality starters from last season; two were drafted into the big leagues. Price said a lot of talent would take the mound for Kansas this season. Some players who will look to fill the void are sophomore Tom Gorzelanny, senior Pat Holmes and juniors Ryan Knippschild and Josh Duran. All four of those pitchers are left-handed, which Price planned.
"Left-handers frequently use other pitches to get batters out," Price said. "They all have a chance to be successful at this level."
The infield is led by senior first baseman Casey Spanish, whom Price said was a good runner and a tremendous athlete. Last year, Spanish had a .291 batting average and drove in 26 runs.
Second base will be manned by freshman Ritchie Price, and third base is still being battled for by junior Kyle Kilgo and sophomore Travis Metcalf. Senior Brandon Shepard, who started 49 games last year will run shortstop.
The outfield might be the strongest part of the team, consisting of three upper classmen. Senior Kevin Wheeler will be the team's starting right fielder and will also see some time on the mound this season. Junior Ryan Baty will start in left field. He
started all 51 games for Kansas last season. The team's center fielder will be junior Matt Tribble. All in all, Price said this could be a good season for Kansas.
"I think we have the potential to surprise people," Price said. "We have good team speed and are physical with the bat. I also think we have upgraded defensively from last year."
The Jayhawks will tackle a schedule this year that will be tough, both inside and out of the conference. Inside the conference, the defending national champion, Texas Longhorns, will do battle with Kansas, along with another team that made it to the College World Series — the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Outside of the conference, Kansas will travel to Baton Rouge, La., to play Louisiana State and will also face in-state rival Wichita State and Arkansas. The schedule excited Wheeler.
"I am really looking forward to taking on tough competition this year," Wheeler said. "I think our out-of-conference schedule will help us out a lot once we get into conference play."

NASCAR schedule to make venue shifts
The Associated Press
CONCORD, N.C. — NASCAR put tracks on notice Tuesday that the 2004 Winston Cup schedule could look a lot different under a realignment plan that might move races to different parts of the country.
That could be bad news for historic tracks such as North Carolina
Speedway in Rockingham and Darlington Raceway in South Carolina facilities that are clinging to two Winston Cup races a year.
"We cannot expand within the current schedule, we're racing 38 weekends, and there's no more room to add another week," said NASCAR vice president George Pyne. "So we're now looking within the schedule to see if any moves make sense geographically."
The realignment plan was just one of many issues NASCAR addressed, including its new policy to reduce congestion in the garage by sweeping fans from the area whenever cars are on the track.
But it was the possible changes to the 2004 schedule that drew the most attention.
NASCAR has a set list of criteria it will be looking for track owners to meet in order to keep its current race dates.
Among things NASCAR will be studying are tracks that need significant upgrades, have trouble selling tickets, have a history of poor weather on race weekends, or are in small markets that lack adequate hotels and restaurants.

WHAT ABOUT NOW?
NOPE.
I DON'T FEEL A THING.
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 22).
Carefully calculate your income and expenses this year, with a fabulous vacation in mind. A second honeymoon, or a reunion with an old pal? You choose. With determination, you can power past the distractions and get there.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Finish up yesterday's project without delay. The sooner you get it done, the more time you'll have to network. A new friend can help you solve an old problem once and for all.
Taurus (April20-May20). Today is a 6.
If there ever was a person who could
make a silk purse out of a sow's ear,
it's you. Hopefully your assignment
for today isn't that tough, but don't
worry. You're in a creative phase.
Gemini(May21-June21).Today is a7. Continue to work on your plan and your lists, away from kibitzing comments. You can provide your own critical evaluation. Prepare to take
action soon.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
One of your worst fears can be prevent simply by gaining new skills.
Don't assume you'll have a disadvantage. Level the playing field using your own education.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
If you'd like to increase your income,
get more education. It'll be easier to
learn in the next day or two, and
somebody nearby will be glad to
teach you. Expand.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
You've been frustrated over the past few weeks while trying to get your message across. That's about to change, and not a moment too soon.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an8 Tomorrow and Friday will both be ideal for an exquisite evening for two. Set up at least one date with your favorite intellectual.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Your associates would like to help you out, but it looks as if their hands
are tied. You'll get more assistance tomorrow from a person who owes you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Somebody wants to tell you what to do, right down to the tiniest detail. You'd be wise to comply with precision and even good humor. It's easier than arguing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
If you keep explaining what you want, your intentions can get through. Others are easily distracted now. Be persistent and emerge as a natural leader once again.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Problems you've been putting up with are about to dissolve. Figure out how much you have to spend, and where you'll spend it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
You can find the money you need over the next few days, or at least come up with a good down payment.

Jayhawks concern Colorado's Patton
By John Domoney

Kansan sportswriter
Colorado men's basketball coach Ricardo Patton is not likely to forget his first game as a coach against Kansas.
On Jan. 16, 1996, Patton took over the reigns of the Colorado program after Joe Harrington resigned.
With a home game scheduled for that night, Patton decided he would try to give his team a boost in hope of an upset against the 13-1 Jayhawks.
Patton had his Buffaloes sleep on cots on the floor of the Coors Events Conference Center the night before the game to help them envision an upset victory in Patton's first game as a collegiate coach.

Kansan file photo
Tonight is another opportunity for Patton to notch his first victory against Kansas as the Buffaloes (11-5 overall, 1-2 Big 12 Conference) host the No. 6 Jayhawks (13-3, 3-0).
Patton said he was concerned with how to contain Kansas' fast-breaking offense.
"They certainly score a lot of buckets in transition," Patton said. "They can beat you in a lot of ways. Their post guys are really good, and their guards are good shooters."
Colorado might not have the talent at the guard position as do the Jayhawks, but the Buffaloes do have a frontcourt that matches up with any set of post players in the nation.
Leading the Buffalo post game is 7-foot sophomore center David Harrison, who averages 14.5 points per game.
Harrison may be the focal point of the Colorado lineup, but senior forward Stephane Pelle is the player that has caught the attention of Kansas senior forward Nick Collison and the rest of the Jayhawks.
"Pelle is one of the toughest guys in the league," Collison said. "He's very underrated as a player."
Pelle is tied with Harrison for the team lead with 8.8 rebounds and 10.3 points per game.
NAMES
Nick Collison puts a deuce over Colorado's Michael Morandais during last year's face-off. "They're going to be another tough team," says Collison. "We always have a tough time beating them up there. The Jayhawks hold a 16-0 record against the Buffaloes since 1996.
Even with the frontcourt production, the opening of conference play has not been kind to Colorado.
After a 69-54 loss at the hands of Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., on Jan. 11, the Buffaloos
responded with a 69-63 victory over Kansas State. On the road in Lincoln, Neb., Colorado bowed out in overtime to the Huskers 80-77 on Jan.18.

Sooners to test Jayhawk defense
Jared Soares/Kansas Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras catches a pass during Saturday's game against Colorado.

Kansan sportswriter
The Oklahoma women's basketball team has lost four starters off last season's Final Four team, including back-to-back Big 12 Conference player of the year Stacey Dales. But the Sooners have reloaded enough to bring an 11-5 record and No. 22 ranking into Allen Fieldhouse to take on Kansas tonight at 7.
The blow of losing Dales' 17 point per game average was softened by four starters averaging double figures in points. Kansas coach Marian Washington said the Jayhawks would have to pick it up defensively after allowing Colorado to shoot 56.6 percent from the field Saturday.
"We have to play better defense, in-your-face defense," Washington said. "We have to put better pressure on the ball."
Oklahoma will bring some young players of their own. The Sooners start two freshman, Chelsi Welch and Laura Andrews and three of the top four leading scorers are newcomers to the Sooner program.
"They lost a lot of experienced players off last year's team," Washington said. "But they still have some players left that really help the younger players."
Last year's NCAA runner-ups, who are coming off a 77-39 home victory over Texas A&M Jan. 18, will use a three-guard lineup, possibly causing match-up problems for the Jayhawks.
tages, primarily in the power forward position, that might pose a challenge," Washington said. "We've got some players who are coming off the bench and can help up with the match-ups."

FBI begins hacker investigation
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The FBI and KU officials are working together to find a suspect accused of hacking into University files and stealing identity information from as many as 1,450 students.
The suspect downloaded file information from a test file in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. This database was created to comply with U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services mandates for international students after Sept. 11.
The information obtained by the hacker is "enough that identity fraud could be perpetrated," said Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services. Not all information was complete for every student, but the information downloaded included social security numbers, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and city and country of birth.
"We will be opening a computer crime investigation regarding the intrusion
into KU's computer system," said Jeff Lanza, special agent in the FBI's Kansas City bureau.
University files were hacked during five intrusions that took place between Jan. 6 and Jan. 17. The information theft was not uncovered until yesterday, Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations said. KU officials then notified the FBI and the INS.
"They're notifying all ports of entry," Goodyear said.
According to the letter sent to affected students by Joe Potts, director of international students and scholar services, the stolen information "raises a number of possible risks" to the affected students including "theft of identity for financial gain."
Students affected by this incident will have to answer questions about additional information not compromised in the files, according to Goodyear. She said information such as parents' name or mother's maiden name could be used to prove an international student's identity.
University officials are working to inform all affected students, mostly international students, Goodyear said. Potts informed 1,416 students last night by e-mail. Students who did not have a registered KU e-mail account were to be notified this morning by University officials.
As many as 40 students might be American-born students mistakenly put in the INS file.
According to Potts' e-mail, the University will send a package of materials to these students outlining the steps they can take to protect themselves.

Empty Senate, please apply
Before winter break, 12 student senators left their positions, opening the door for any University of Kansas students to take their places.
Catherine Bell, student executive chair,
said 12 open seats seemed like a high number,
but it would not be too big of a problem.
"It's always disappointing when senators drop, especially if they have been elected," she said. "I personally view it as a duty. If you have been elected by the student body, you sit it out for awhile unless there are extenuating circumstances, which there are."
The 12 former senators left for various valid reasons: studying abroad, graduation, school transfers and military service.
Former College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Senator J.D. Boyle, who was enrolled in more than 60 hours and represented the CLAS, graduated at semester.
"I did my semester as best I could," Bowlie said.
Boyle said not being able to finish their terms didn't mean he and other outgoing senators were irresponsible.
"They were elected to do a job and they tried to do it," he said. "Whether they did good or not, they have every right to quit."
Replacement will fill the senator spots of off-campus, non-traditional, social welfare, graduate, Nunemaker, journalism, fine arts and CLAS. Two of the seats, non-traditional and social welfare, have been empty since early October.
Bell said she hoped applicants would fill those vacant spots, as well.Applications are due at Wed. at 5 p.m.at the Student Senate office, 410 Kansas Union. Once the applications are in, the applicants are interviewed by five senators chosen randomly from a hat. They will make their decision in early February.
"A lot of people I think have problems with the way replacement positions are ran because they're not really elected by the student body." Bell said.
She said changing the rules and regulations of the replacement process was a possibility but the University steered away from having emergency elections with the student body because of the expense.
Last year, Senate replaced 14 senators throughout the year, but not all at one time.
"The timing, while unusual, is not going to throw Senate too much of a challenge." Kyle Johnson, engineering senator, said. "We can find some good people and bring them up to speed quickly."

New stripe on KUIDs to be more convenient
By Nicole Roché
nroche@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After five years, stripes are back in season.
A vendor will begin phasing out the KUID smart chip readers on campus starting Monday. The new readers use the magnetic stripe on the back of the card instead of the gold electronic chip. The stripe will work the same way the chip did, and students will not have to
purchase new cards, said Nancy Miles,
KU Card program coordinator.
The University of Kansas partnered with a new card provider, Diebold Inc., which will now handle all card services online. The online system will have security benefits for students, Miles said, because if students lose their cards, they can deactivate them immediately.
"If you have money on your card now and you lose it, then the money's gone," she said.
The current KUID, complete with
gold smart chip, was introduced at the University in April 1998. Cybermark, the card service provider, went out of business last June. The University chose not to renew its contract with the company this month.
An e-mail survey concerning the KUID was sent to students last April, Miles said. The results indicated students were ready for a change.
It will take about two weeks to convert all readers on campus.
"People wanted a higher quality card-
one that lasted longer," she said.
Miles said inserting the gold chip between the two sides of the card loosened the adhesive over time and caused some KUIDs to fall apart.
Kate Piotrowski had her KUID for one semester her freshman year before it split in half.
"It it was just hanging together, and I couldn't use it," the Wichita senior said. "I tried to take care of it, but it probably

KU professor returns from Iraq
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Scott Harding, assistant professor of social welfare, returned to the United States he came home with a new feeling of commitment to opposing a war in Iraq and ending current sanctions.
Harding traveled to Iraq on a humanitarian fact-finding mission with 32 other professors from across the country last week. The delegation of U.S.academics was invited to visit Baghdad University for five days.During the trip,the delegation met with different faculty members and students to discuss the impact of a possible war on Iraq.
Harding said seeing the Iraqi people and talking with the professors at Baghdad University gave him a unique insight. Harding saw the impact of the sanctions the UN had imposed on Iraq since 1990 on higher education.
"The sanctions have a had a real effect on higher education by limiting faculty members' ability to travel and share their findings by publishing in scholarly journals," Harding said.
Harding said in Iraq there were sanctions on military goods, non-essential items and dual-use products, such as computer software upgrades and limitations on Internet access. Harding said the sanctions negatively affected available health care and nutrition for the Iraqi people. One sanction Harding said the UN said was working efficiently was the Oil for Food
sanction. Oil for Food allows the Iraqis to receive food for oil they sell.
Although Harding met with several faculty members and was able to meet with a UN official, he was always monitored by Iraqi "government minders." The government minders went everywhere with the delegation to regulate who they could talk to and what they could see. Harding said many times he felt that his discussions with faculty members were limited because of the constant surveillance by the government minders.
Harding visited the national museum, a children's hospital and a bomb shelter that had been bombed by the United States the first day he

Student groups seek financial support
Student Senate committees
Student Senate committees approved legislation to fund a variety of student activities and organizations if the legislation passes in Wednesday's Senate meeting.
Clubs such as College Community, GeoClub, Red Pill Forum, Jayhawk Motorsports and Environs are seeking financial support.
Environs said it needed funding to bring a keynote speaker to talk about urban planning for Earth Day activities as well as speaking at KU classes. The February Sisters Association also hopes to receive money for a women and poverty forum it is planning for Feb. 18. The Wormyn Empowerment Action Coalition will also seek funding Wednesdav.
Student Senate also addressed getting students to those activities.
A petition requested increased student parking in lots 35 and 37, which surround the Multicultural Resource Center, Malott Hall and Haworth Hall. The petition also sought to keep the parking lot near Learned Hall open after 5 p.m.A study indicated that less than 15 percent of the spaces reserved for faculty in lots 35 and 37 were used between 5 p.m.and 7:30 p.m.
Steam whistle sidelined by recurring injury
The University of Kansas' steam whistle will no longer signal the end of classes because of damage it received yesterday.
Doug Riat, director of facilities and operations, said, in a statement released last night, that the whistle damage was not weather-related. Recurring cracks damaged the 60-year-old whistle, which is located on top of the campus power plant on Sunflower Road.
Riat said the cracks had been repaired during the summer,but the problems continued and now were not repairable.
He said KU officials had not determined whether replacing the whistle was a possibility.

University planning fire training in Wichita
The Kansas Fire & Rescue Training Institute at the University of Kansas will travel to Wichita's Curtis Middle School for its Winter Fire School Jan. 31 through Feb.2.
Glenn Pribbenow, director of the institute, said the school was open to professional and volunteer firefighters who wanted to learn more about their field. The institute is part of the School of Continuing Education.
"We like to say that we're entry to exit," Pribenbon said. "From the day that they come on the job as a firefighter until the day they leave, we can provide most of the training that they might need."
The school, held once a year, will include topics such as interpreting smoke, detecting arson, performing an ice rescue, responding to the scene of a drug lab and fighting wild land fires.
Registration is $25 for members of Kansas fire departments. For more information or to register, log on to www.kuce.org/fst, or call 785-864-4790. Participants must register by tomorrow.

Missouri may lose one Amtrak train
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Unless Missouri comes up with more money by the end of next month, Amtrak plans to eliminate one of its two daily passenger trains between St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo.
State transportation officials told lawmakers Tuesday they need $1.2 million — on top of the $$ million already appropriated — to continue running both trains through the June 30 end of the fiscal year.
"If we don't get supplemental funding, the train, unfortunately, will cease service after Feb. 28," said Amtrak spokeswoman Kathleen Cantillon.
Under the current schedule, Amtrak trains leave both St. Louis and Kansas City at 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., stopping at eight cities in between.
If service were cut, the only options would be an eastbound 7:30 a.m. train from Kansas City and a westbound 3:30 p.m. train from St. Louis.

Research scholarships bring in money, experience
By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
For Katie Mitchell, Wichita senior, research is a lifestyle. Mitchell was able to use a scholarship to see whether that lifestyle fit her.
Mitchell was one of five students from the University of Kansas' Lawrence campus to relieve a scholarship in Spring 2002 through the Kansas Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network.
"Research is like a job, but you don't have set hours," Mitchell said. "You work on a project until it's done, and you put in as much time as you can."
With her scholarship, Mitchell performed research in chemistry in Spring and Summer 2002.
Mitchell said the opportunity had helped her decide what to focus on in graduate school and apply principals she learned in
the classroom.
One of the main goals of the network is to recruit undergraduate science students for careers in biomedical research. Robert Hanzlik, campus coordinator for the network, plans to give out eight scholarships to science students on the Lawrence campus for research this year.
Hanzlik said letting students feel the excitement of working in a lab was one of the best ways to teach them.
Students can earn up to $4,500 for research in areas such as biology and chemistry at the University. A faculty member assists each student.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health provides an $8 million grant for the network, said Joan Hunt, senior associate dean of research and graduate education in the School of Medicine. The program is operating on nine campuses and eight universities across Kansas.
The NIH recognized the need to make Kansas and 23 other states more competitive in biomedical research, Hanzlik said. The NIH observed that a majority of grant dollars were concentrated on the east and west coasts of the country where there was a higher population density.
After the program's first year and five months, Hunt and her colleagues are just now examining the outcomes. Many of the students from last year's program
are now in doctoral training programs or medical school.
"A rough look makes me think it's probably going to be helpful," Hunt said.
The application deadline for this year's scholarships is due Feb. 3.

Rehearsals begin for Rock Chalk Revue
By Jessica Palimenio

Kansan staff writer
With Rock Chalk Revue coming up, participants are starting to rehearse.
The five groups began rehearsals Friday, working to perfect their singing and dancing routines in five weeks.
Last year's event raised $50,000 for the United Way of Douglas County. This year's participants are working to make it just as profitable.
Each group is contractually obligated to complete 50 hours of rehearsal time before the show opens on March 6.
"It's hard work, but it's fun learning the dances with the girls," said Adam Argetsinger, Wichita freshman and Pi Kappa Phi member.
Each of the five groups are required to rehearse an hour each night during the week and an hour and a half on the weekends.
"It's a really big choreography time for everyone," said Michael Rodriguez. Rock Chalk executive producer and Lambda Chi Alpha member.
All participants will get one day off for the Missouri basketball game in early February, but they have to reschedule the missed hours on their own time Allen said.
With such a short amount of time to practice, the rehearsals must be structured to accomplish each group's goal, which is to put on a great show.
DAD JAZZ CLUB
"We learn one dance a week and we have five total. That puts us up to the weekend before the show," said Sarah Morrison, Leawood senior and Delta DeltaDelta member.
It is Morrison's first year to direct in the final production, and she said she couldn't wait to see everything come together on stage.
Dress rehearsals will start March 3 at the Lied Center, and the show will run through that weekend.
Tickets for the show will be available at the Student Union Activities box office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union at the beginning of February.

In the mission statement of the University of Kansas Medical Center, research is listed as one of the its primary functions.
Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington, D.C., awarded the Med Center two research grants, totaling more than $652.000.
The National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases awarded the Med Center $324,683 to continue researching kidney diseases, urology and hematology.
Dale Abrahamson, chairman and professor of the departmem of anatomy and ceil biology, is the principal investigator of the kidney research project.
Abrahamson hopes his study will lead to answers on preventing kidney failure. He said the goal is to understand how the filtering system in the kidney develops and maintains itself.
When this filtration barrier becomes damaged, Abrahamson
sand, valuable proteins are lost
That can lead to kidnerval failure.
Abrahamson said this was the 18th year for this research project, and the new grant would renew it for five more years. Working on the project with Abrahamson are one graduate student, one post-doctoral student and three other researchers.
Joan Hunt, senior associate dean for research and graduate education, said the kidney research program at the Med Center was strong, especially with Abrahamson at the helm.
"He is regarded as one of the top investigators of kidney development in the United States," she said.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke also awarded a grant for $327,750 to the Med Center to begin clinical research on neurological disorders.
Douglas Wright, assistant professor of anatomy and cell biology will oversee this research grant.
Hunt said Wright's leadership in the study was remarkable for a new faculty member.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Measure character, not color
Race alone should not be a deciding factor in undergraduate and graduate admissions.
Last week, the Bush administration slammed the affirmative action policies currently in place across the nation, calling for the U.S. Supreme Court to declare the admissions policies of the University of Michigan unconstitutional.
Though affirmative action policies have had positive and far-reaching effects, the so-called "race-conscious" admissions standards in use actually undermine universities' missions of diversity, often being used as a crutch by university administration to provide easy results.
Diversity is important. A culturally and ethnically diverse student body benefits the entire campus community.
Universities can employ more beneficial methods to be sure diversity is accomplished. In fact, a university should be searching for not only a diversity of races and backgrounds but also a diversity of ideas. It is important to realize that different racial backgrounds don't necessarily equate to different beliefs, thoughts or opinions.
While not specifying a target percentage or number, the University of Michigan says it seeks "to enroll a 'critical mass' of students from underrepresented minority groups in order to achieve the educational benefits of diversity," according to its Web site.
Michigan's undergraduate admissions policy offers "a 20-point bonus on a 150-point scale to applicants who are black, Hispanic or American Indian," according to a New York Times article. In its graduate schools, race is also a factor in admission.
Universities can continue working on their goals of increased minority recruitment and retention without utilizing "race-conscious" admissions guidelines by using, for example, outreach and mentor programs to a greater extent.
These affirmative action policies contribute to a negative mindset that undervalues the person, placing undue emphasis on race. Lurking beneath the surface is the inference that some draw: despite his intellectual capability, promise or accomplishments, this student was able to get here just because of his heritage or skin color.
Bush "wants to find a way to recognize the importance of diversity and do so in a way that serves one and all," Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary, said. In this manner, colleges and universities would benefit from blind admissions and race-neutral procedures.
By judging applicants by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, everyone will benefit.

Affirmative action still needed at colleges
The U.S. Supreme Court's challenge to the University of Michigan's admissions policy puts the media spotlight on affirmative action while Americans celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. That legacy stands up for affirmative action as a short-term means toward leveling the playing field for minorities in the workplace and universities, which is not a long-term solution to racial issues within America. With this in mind, we must fight to protect affirmative action.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Matt Zaller opinion@kansan.com

Those who argue that Michigan's policies constitute reverse racism by giving greater weight to racial background instead of academic merit fail to look at the bigger picture. Leveling the playing field has to start somewhere. I went to a successfully desegregated high school as

sent out nearly identical résumés in response to help-wanted ads with "white-sounding names" and with "black-sounding names." They found white-sounding applicants received one response for every 10 résumés sent out, while black-sounding applicants with equal credentials received one response for every 15 résumés.
Recent studies show America is moving in the wrong direction when it comes to segregation of communities and schools. The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University revealed that during the last 20 years, segregation in schools has increased severely in African-American and Hispanic-American communities.
Affirmative action is necessary in universities because it enriches the student experience and allows minorities opportunities that have not historically been available. The future of affirmative action and King's legacy are in jeopardy. President Bush filed an amicus curae brief to the Supreme Court encouraging it to rule against Michigan's affirmative action procedures. King was successful because he spoke of the deeper problems of our society. Affirmative action is a short-term remedy to a much deeper problem, and this country needs leaders who will move beyond addressing the symptoms of the problem and, in the tradition of King, start tackling the deeper problem.
A study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Chicago professors concluded that racism runs rampant in the workplace as well. They

PERSPECTIVI
Using war 'toys' makes U.S. vulnerable
During the Persian Gulf War, CNN beamed images into our homes of smart bombs so well-guided that they could travel down air vents en route to destroying their targets. The United States used tanks with such sturdy armor that neither land mines nor missiles could penetrate them. Rumor has it that the Air Force is now working on remote controlled fighter jets with all the capabilities of today's F-14's but with the pilot seated at a control booth a safe distance away. We have already heard about the unmanned "Predator" drones used for intelligence gathering (an awfully suspicious name for a surveillance mechanism).
As one of the wealthiest nations in the world, it comes as no surprise that our military is capable of such amazing technologies. People rarely question the practical implications of such a highly automated, technologically advanced and undeniably effective military machine. Too often the efficacy of these weapons is used as justification for their implementation. They are highly accurate, deadly and increase the safety of the men and women of the armed forces. Besides, most of us consider these sorts of toys "cool."
Steve Ducey opinion@kansan.com
COMMENTARY
We must raise the question: Just
because we can build these weapons, does it necessarily follow that we should? We must consider this question, as the pitfalls of such unchecked military prowess should strike fear in us all.
We must consider the danger that such a military poses to the average person. The purpose of any military is to protect the civilians of its country. One enters into the armed forces under the assumption that should the time come, he is willing to fight and die to protect the lives of the citizenry. However, the high-tech military of today and the future endangers the lives of the people it has sworn to protect.
When faced with such a formidable opponent, one which has neither the need nor the will to sacrifice the lives of its soldiers to defeat the enemy, the alternative is obvious. Remember Sept. 11? That act of terror on our nation's citizens was a direct reaction to the impervious nature of our military might. If our enemies stand no chance against our military, why should they have a state-sponsored army at all?
The days of land wars fought by armies of two nations are over. Our enemies realize this. They know the only way to even make a dent is to attack those who are the most vulnerable, namely the innocent civilians of America. In its attempts to protect us, our government has unwittingly put us at an even greater risk than ever before. This paradox must be addressed if we are to live our lives free from the fear of terror.
With such advanced technologies as the ones mentioned above, we have set a precedent of being essentially unbeatable in combat. During the Persian Gulf War, the United States lost 147 soldiers. Eventually, soldiers will rarely see active combat. After a slew of unmanned craft continuously carpet bombs the enemy into oblivion and radio-controlled drones check the area for stragglers and land mines, ground troops will occupy the decimated war zone.

Asian group tackles goal
Union's members to attempt to know each other better
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A simple membership survey gave the Asian American Student Union one of its biggest goals for this semester
The executive board of the AASU surveyed its members at the end of a productive fall semester to find out what it could do to improve the experience. A common theme emerged: The members wanted to get know other members better.
"We are going to try to mix it up with a variety of activities," he said. "Social activities are a way for us to stay connected and stay relaxed."
Takuya Jay Inoue, Countryside junior and AASU's social chairman, said there were many ways to increase members' interaction.
AASU held its first executive board meeting of the spring semester Tuesday night. The group discussed a variety of topics, including increasing member's social interaction, potential community service projects and connecting with national AASU chapters.
AASU also wants to increase communication and cooperation with other campus minority groups, such as Black Student Union and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization.
"We're really hoping to work toward a unified minority community," Tiffany Lopez, Minneapolis senior and AASU president, said.
Lopez said AASU's diverse membership, which includes several Caucasian members, would benefit the club as it sought to accomplish its goals.
"We consider ourselves an umbrella group for other Asian-culture organizations," Lopez said. "Everybody contributes; it's a team effort."
AASU's plans for the semester don't worry Lopez, because the groups' leaders get along well.
"A lot of our executive board members work on the boards of other organizations, and none of them work like this," Lopez said.
Aside from increased social activities and member interaction. Lopez said increased participation in community service was also a priority. AASU wants to do one project a month.
The group will host its first general meeting of the semester Tuesday, and although AASU is facing a busy spring, Lopez said she couldn't wait to get going.
"I think we're all looking forward to a really productive semester," she said.

Every Thursday at 7:50 p.m., a group of KU students meet in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union to "grow deeper and more intimate with Jesus". They are The Navigators.
While attending college many Navigators found conflict between their beliefs and a college lifestyle. Navigators helped them deal with these conflicts.
The Navigators stress Bible
"I found something that satisfies more than any alcohol or physical pleasure could give me, and that's the love of Jesus," said Matthew Orsillo, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior and KU Navigators president.

Each semester Navigators focuses on a different part of the Bible. Last semester the group studied the life and work of Jesus Christ. This semester it will study the book of "Ephesians" from the New Testament.
Navigators has several plans for the semester including separate men's and women's retreats and a handful of guest speakers.
Though study of the Bible is important, many students simply appreciated the fellowship that Navigators provided.

Other students saw Navigators as a way to aid younger students.
"I lead a bible study, and this is one way to speak the truth in the lives of young women," said Suzanne Hilleary, St. Louis, Mo., senior.
No matter how long the students stay involved with the organization, most plan to use the support they found in Navigators and Christianity in their future endeavors.
"It is my life," Orsillo said. "Christ comes first in everything I do."

Workshop aids woes of tax time
Free filing available for graduate students
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The last day to file taxes is a long way away, but University of Kansas graduate students are already preparing for the looming April headache.
Yesterday afternoon Legal Services for Students held a free workshop, "Tax Issues Facing Graduate Students," at noon in the Kansas Union. Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney for Legal Services, hosted the workshop intended to educate students about different filing processes for grants, scholarships, fellowships and salaries.
"The more educated you are about your rights and responsibilities the better off you are," she said.
Hardesty said misinformation could cause major problems.
"It can cost a lot of money; that's why we have a box of tissue in our office," Hardesty said.
Amanda Wilson, Pocahontas, Ark., graduate student, said the workshop was both helpful and confusing.
"It's always dreadful doing taxes by yourself," she said. "I will definitely check into using the LSS's services now that I know they exist."
Legal Services can prepare and file taxes electronically for free, which costs at least $65 at H&R Block. Anyone who wants to take advantage of this service must wait until the first week of February to make an appointment.
Hardesty said starting early and gathering all documents before seeing a tax attorney could save students big bucks.
To contact Legal Services for Students, call 864-5665.

Your KUID card is for use, not abuse
Editor's note: Once a week, Kansan reporter Nicole Roché will investigate a student consumer issue. Look for her column in every Thursday's Kansan.
For students with KUIDs on their last leg, the glue and tape may not hold up forever.
COMMON CENTS
The KUID Web site, www.ku.edu/~kucard, tells students to bring in damaged or broken cards so they can be destroyed properly and put out of their misery.
But students are completely capable of destroying the KUIDs on their own. Students' KUIDs have been taped, glued, faded from repeated washings, split in half, cracked and bleeding.
Mary Ann Graham, manager at the KU Card Center, said students could try to repair their KUIDs, but it usually wasn't a good idea.
COMMON CENTS
"If you tape the card and then try to swipe it, a machine can't read it," she said.
Nicole Roché
nroche@kansan.com
Students without functioning KUIDs miss campus discounts and end up paying for $1 Cokes and 10 cent copies. It might also mean bribing a freshman with a shiny new ID to open up the student readership bin.
Nancy Miles, KU Card Program Coordinator, said the gold chip had caused KUIDs to fall apart because it had loosened the adhesive. In the next two weeks the smart chip readers on campus will be replaced with magnetic stripe readers.
Though the KU Card Center will replace KUIDs that have fallen apart because of the gold chip, it will not pay for cards that have been misused.
Any card that has been a victim of abuse will be replaced for a $15 fee, Miles said.
She said bite marks on the magnetic stripe were always an indicator the card had been abused.
Graham said employees would ask students whether the card had been properly cared for.
"We ask, 'Where do you keep your card?'" Graham said. "In your wallet or on the floor of your car?"
KUIDs often crack down the middle, she said, because students put the card in their back pocket and it bends.
Graham said the best way to keep a KUID intact was to store it in the plastic sleeve it originally comes in. Students can get new sleeves for free at the KU Card Center on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
Gluing a KUID might put it in one piece again, but it won't guarantee the chip will work. It seems
the smart chip, which was so technologically fascinating five years ago, could now be better described as the stupid chip.
Why is it, students ask, when a Coca-Cola costs 85 cents with my KUID discount and I put in my card that has 90 cents on it, the reader says I don't have enough money on the card?
Miles said the reader looked for the highest price item in the machine, and because it doesn't know which item you're going to purchase, it won't work unless you have at least that amount on the card.
But doesn't it realize you are using your card, thus making you eligible for the 15 percent discount?
"You would think it would be smart enough to realize that," Miles said.
One would think.
Roché is a Wichita senior in journalism
KUIDs
got thrown around a lot."
Mary Ann Graham, manager at the KU Card Center, said KUIDs that separated from front to back were replaced for free. Cards that crack down the center were another problem.
"Mainly those cracks are caused by something the student has done," Graham said. "Say they used their card to scrape ice or something."
Graham said she had seen few problems involving the magnetic stripe on the card.
Card Center employees have posted signs on all cash-to-card
machines on campus advising students not to put more money on their cards than they can spend in the next two weeks.
Students will have the opportunity to transfer any unused money from the smart chip to the new online account by visiting the Card Center on the fourth
floor of the Kansas Union. Miles said an e-mail would be sent to students explaining when this transfer could be done.
"Even if it's 5 cents and they want to transfer it," Miles said, "they can bring the card into the Card Center and we'll do it."

arrived in Iraq. Harding said 400 people died in the bomb shelter and that seeing the remains of the shelter and thinking of how many lives were lost gave him a perspective into the effects of war on citizens. Harding said he was disappointed in the media coverage on the effects of the Gulf War.
"Most media coverage is desensitized and depersonal-
ized," Harding said, "The media does not show what the sanctions have done and usually doesn't focus on the people, the lives at stake, and what war means to civilians."
The sanctions and lingering effects of the Gulf War make life difficult for the Iraqi people, but Harding said that the city of Baghdad was still vibrant.
Harding said the Iraqi people he spoke with had good things to say about the U. S. and the American people.
"There was a great love for the United States and Americans," Harding said, "People were warm and curious about what we were doing."
Harding said he felt like his trip to Iraq was a success and that going to Iraq, seeing the way the Iraqis lived and talking with the professors at Baghdad University gave him a better understanding and more credibility.
Ed Scanlon, assistant professor
"There are a lot of peace activists, but few have been to Iraq," Scanlon said, "There is a lot of interest in Lawrence and Kansas City to hear about Scott's experience. He will bring us a perspective of daily life for the Iraqis and how the sanctions have affected them in the last 10 years."
of social welfare, said he thought Harding's trip to Iraq was a unique experience for a peace activist.

IS GOD CALLING YOU AND GETTING A BUSY SIGNAL?
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'd only take a moment to really listen to your inner voice God will get through.
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.
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.
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.
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?

Kansan sportswriter
Kate Scott had a happy homecoming last night. The Oklahoma senior captain and Overland Park native played 11 minutes, one short of a season high, in the Oklahoma 61-49 win over Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. Scott said having about 50 friends and family members in attendance for her trip to Lawrence was a fun experience.
"I was really excited. It's my senior year, and I got to play here my sophomore year, but I knew I'd get to finish up at home," Scott said. "I had a great crowd come out to see me.It's really fun when you get a chance to give back to what people have given you your whole life."

One of the most prominent members of the Scott cheering section was her father, Mark Scott.
"I'm just so proud," Mark said about his daughter who was firstteam Academic All-Big 12 as a junior. "To go from a walk-on to
caption of the team and accomplishing everything she dreamed of doing — it's just great."
Kate's parents met while attending Oklahoma, but that's not the only reason Mark is glad to see his daughter in a Sooner uniform.
"That was one of the rules," said Mark, whose other daughter Alysa also attended Oklahoma. "They had to go away to college so they could grow up."
Kate's mother, Megan Scott, said living in Jayhawk country hasn't been too difficult on the family.

"A lot of her friends went to KU," Megan said. "They all wore brown to come to the game because we told them they couldn't wear KU colors. I think we've converted most of our friends, at least as far as women's basketball is concerned."

MANHATTAN—On the road against Colorado, Kansas State couldn't make free throws. At Kansas, they had trouble making field goals.
K-State victorious at home

Kansas State dominated inside and held Nebraska to 31 percent shooting from the floor to cruise past the Huskers 77-53 Wednesday night.
But against Nebraska yesterday, things were a lot different.
C
It was the ninth straight win at home for the Wildcats, and came after two straight losses on the road.
It was the 12th time this season Kansas State (11-6, 2-2) held an opponent under 40 percent.
"Here, we have our crowd," guard Jarrett Hart said. "We have our sixth man. Sure, we made some mistakes. But we played through it."
Despite Nebraska's four post players over 6-foot-8, the Wildcats had no trouble scoring in the paint.
scored 18 points and forward Pervis Pasco had 15 points and 13 rebounds — his sixth double-double of the season — to help the Wildcats outscore the Huskers 32-18 inside.
Forward Matt Siebrandt
"Matt got off to a good start," Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge said. "Then Pervis' opportunity came. He was active inside for us. His rebounding kept us alive."
Siebrandt, who was 8-of-9 from the field, scored the first four points of the second half, part of a 16-6 Wildcat run to open the period that put Kansas State ahead 49-34 with 13:55 remaining.
Kansas State put Nebraska away with a late 8-0 run, capped by Gilson DeJesus' jumper that made it 73-50 with 4:38 to play.
"We knew we had the potential to blow them away," forward Marques Hayden said. "The first half was shaky, but we were finally able to play some good basketball."
The Cornhuskers (9-8, 1-3 Big 12) are now 0-3 in road games this season.
Nebraska hasn't won in Manhattan since 1994.
DeJesus had 17 points and Jarrett Hart added 13 for Kansas State.
"We certainly felt we could play better defensively than that," Nebraska coach Barry Collier said. "They were the aggressors tonight."
Nate Johnson led Nebraska with 13 points, and Jason Dourisseau had 11.
After trailing by as many as nine in the first half, Nebraska cut Kansas State's lead to 29-28 with 2:01 remaining in the period.
But DeJesus made a free throw and Hart hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Kansas State a 33-28 halftime lead.

Rose could rejoin big leagues, if he admits to gambling on sports
NEW YORK — The baseball commissioner's top deputy met with Pete Rose and his business agent in Florida last month, part of negotiations that could lead to the reinstatement of the sport's career hits leader.
Bob DuPuy, baseball's president and chief operating officer, traveled to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to speak with Rose and his business agent, Warren Greene, on Dec. 16.
Baseball officials have said that for there to be an agreement, Rose must admit he bet on baseball, an accusation he has repeatedly denied.
Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from baseball in 1989 following an investigation of his gambling.

KU women's tennis team deserves school support
You will not see the women's tennis team at the Robinson tennis courts this spring season.
You will not see the team at the Alvamar Tennis and Swim Club. You will not even see the team in the city of Lawrence.Instead, you will have to travel 40 minutes to watch the Jayhawks take on Brigham Young University on Saturday.
That's right, the tennis team will play its home matches at the Wood Valley Racquet Club and Fitness Center in Topeka.
On Aug.1, the Bishop Seabury Academy purchased the club in hopes of expanding the size of the academy.
Last season, Kansas was forced out of the Alvamar Golf and Countrv club.
The club has supported the team for 25 years and now will leave the team without any kind of home court advantage.
It is ridiculous that the team must travel in a van for 40 minutes
SPORTS COMMENTARY
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Jonah Ballow
As of Nov. 5, the softball team was given $2 million for a new stadium from Mission Hills businesswoman Cheryl Womack. Jayhawk Field is known as one of the worst in the Big 12 Conference, but it's still in Lawrence.
ballow@kansan.com just to get to practice.
Womack said she wanted to increase the confidence of women athletes who use the stadium.
Women athletes? The tennis team does not even have a practice facility in Lawrence.
The women's tennis team is a quality team and improving every season under coach Kilmeny Waterman.
Last spring, the Jayhawks had a breakout season with a 16-6 overall record and an impressive 9-2 record in the Big 12.
After finishing with a No.1 ranking in the Central region, the Jayhawks just missed the NCAA tournament. Waterman also earned Big 12 coach of the year honors.
Gary Kempf, assistant athletic director, is in preliminary discussions about a new facility for the team.
"We are trying to fund-raise right now to get something built," Kempf said. "We are meeting with people who are interested but its too early for anything to be set in stone."
With this team enjoying such success, where is the payoff?
Somebody within the community or the University must step up like Womack and help the team with money for an indoor facility.
Ballow is a junior from Littleton, Colorado in journalism.

Hawaii-Hilo, 11 a.m
Television replays of Monday night's game, which was broadcast by ESPN, show that two pauses on the clock may have affected the final seven seconds of the second half and given Oklahoma extra time before Hollis Price's buzzer-beating shot forced overtime.
ESPN broke down the apparent clock problem during a segment Tuesday night.

Tech then went ahead 60-58 after Will Chavis made two free throws with 4.5 seconds left. On the ensuing inbounds pass, Price appeared to dribble the ball twice before the clock started, and went the length of the court for his game-tying shot, which was in the air as the buzzer sounded.

Given repeated opportunities Wednesday to comment by The Associated Press, Tech basketball spokesman Randy Farley referred all inquiries to Big 12 officials.
"Until they come back and figure out exactly what went wrong, I don't foresee anything happening," Sooners basketball SID Mike Houck said. "You can't correct something until you know what's wrong."

Refrigerator poetry, bringing out the wit in all of us.
DOCK BOYS by Scott Drummond, for The University Daily Kansan
I'm trying to write a poem, Scott but I just can't find the words.
Ah... ahh...
Refrigerator poetry, bringing out the wit in all of us.
HOROSCOPES
Todav's Birthday (Jan. 23).
This could be your lucky year. Dig out those dreams you've had on hold and sort through them. Put any dreams involving romance, travel or higher education at the top of your list. Save the self-analysis for some other time. Fun and games take priority.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 9.
New information is abundant, but which should you keep and which should you throw away? Your partner won't be much help, but an older person can be.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 5.
Work smarter instead of harder. You're a genius at finding an easier way to do just about anything. That's a potentially profitable talent.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 10.
It's getting easier to convince people to respect you, but why bother? Actions speak louder than words anyway, and now is a great day to prove it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
A tried-and-true method that worked before will help you to upgrade your home. To pamper yourself even more, find what you want, at a bargain price.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. There's a lot of information out there, and some of it contradicts what you've been led to believe. Do your own investigation and develop a broader perspective.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept, 22). Today is a 5.
You have a good chance to finally make a profit from all your hard work. If you can't do it where you are, it's time to move.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 10.
You're brilliant now, and also charming. It's a good time to bring up something you've been dreaming about that involves a commitment.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
If you have an uncle who can get it
for you wholesale, give him a call.
Why pay retail? Make him an offer
he'll find attractive.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
Sit back and let your friends get your message across. Keep them from straying too far from the truth, and let them gather the glory.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 5.
An unreasonable request may be part of your work assignment. That doesn't mean it's impossible. Negotiate up front to get more for doing it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 10.
Travel, romance and communication are all getting easier. Make long-distance deals, and don't give up if you get put on hold. That condition is only temporary.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 4
You may be quaking in your boots, but if your facts and figures are correct, financial matters pertaining to home improvements will go well.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

Ryan Malashock rmalashock@kansan.com
Eleven NCAA Tournaments. Three Sweet 16s. Six league championships. Seven conference championships. Four All-Americans. An Olympic gold medal. 547 career victories.
Gray hairs stalking KU coach
Marian Washington's list of achievements rivals that of almost any coach in women's basketball history. And through her 30 years at Kansas, the legendary coach avoided the mark of her age; a gray hair.
This Kansas team will stretch her beyond any coaching bounds she encountered in the past. Those accolades above will prove meaningless.
Well, this season, as was vividly exemplified in Kansas' teethpulling 61-49 loss to No. 23 Oklahoma Wednesday night, Washington may not be as lucky.
Washington can write a new chapter in her coaching history this year because the 2002-2003 Jayhawks provide an unprecedented opportunity.
12 of Kansas' 14 women are 20 years old or younger. Just babies in Washington's mind, an element Washington brings up in almost every conversation with the media.
Every day is like school. No bell rings as practice begins but there might as well be one. In the afternoons, the court at Allen Fieldhouse turns into Mrs. Washington's classroom.
"A lot of our players are straight out of high school," Washington said. "And this is nothing like high school."
Therein lies the challenge. Kansas is raw. Raw meaning talented at all positions, but lost where it counts: between the ears.
Four newcomers start for Kansas, sophomore Aquanita Burras and freshmen Crystal Kemp, Tamara Ransburg and Erica Hallman. All four have eventual All-Big 12 potential. Burras is a slasher, Kemp an inside presence and scorer, Ransburg an imposing shot blocker and Hallman a ball-handling wiz.
Potential doesn't even begin to describe Kansas. But potential means squat when decision-making skills are lacking.
Wednesday, Kansas' inexperience and talent crashed disastrously into one another. The Jayhawks came out firing, hounding the Sooners into five early turnovers and sprinting to a 10-2 advantage. The two teams battled back and forth, and the Jayhawks led 23-14.
But then, their brains completely shutdown.
The result was a 14-0 Oklahoma run, 30 turnovers and one discouraged coach.
"We have got to work on our mental toughness," Washington said. "We never had five players working together at the same time. We know we can play with anybody. But, at times, we get tired and we stop thinking. You have to be able to think when you're tired."
So, Mrs. Washington knows where she must persist with her tutoring. So do her players.
"We're going to work on getting as tired as we can in practice and then being able to make smart decisions in game situations" said sophomore Blair Waltz, Kansas' top returner from a year ago.
All Waltz can do is exude the same upbeat attitude today that she and her teammates brought to practice all year. That's what Washington preached. Lessons learned now, considering Kansas' talent level, could bring championships in years to come.
But as Washington knows, gray hairs could start sprouting if anymore lessons go unlearned.

Our kingdom for a foul
Last minute no-call decides close game
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kasan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Boulder, Colo. - Through Kansas' first 16 games of the season, coach Roy Williams could only guess what would happen if all his starters had off-nights in a game because it never happened. Now he knows.
After making 51 percent of their shots heading into the game with Colorado (12-5,1-2), the sixth-ranked Jayhawks (13-4, 3-1) were colder than the snow outside the Coors Event Center. Kansas could muster just 32 percent from the field in the game. To make matters worse, junior forward Jeff Graves picked up his fifth foul with 1:27 left in the game.
The Buffaloes, on the other hand, netted 48 percent of their shots, while physically punishing the Jayhawks on the backboards.
"We had no answers for what they did to us," Williams said.
Still, Kansas had a chance until the very end. Graves' replacement, sophomore guard/forward Michael Lee drew a foul on Colorado senior forward Stephane Pelle and went to the line. Lee calmly sank both free throws, putting Kansas ahead 59-58 with 39 seconds left to play. Pelle would not let himself be the one who let Colorado coach Ricardo Patton's first win against Williams slip away. Just 14 seconds
later, Pelle dropped in 2 of his game high 27 points from the baseline, shifting the lead to Colorado.
Trailing by 1 point, Kansas planned to put the game in the hands of one of its two All-American candidates. Senior guard Kirk Hinrich looked to pass the ball to his teammate, senior forward Nick Collison. Finding Collision covered, Hinrich dribbled and fired a jump shot. The ball bounded off the rim into the waiting hands of Lee. This time he could not save Kansas.
"Once it left my hand, it didn't feel good," Lee said. "It didn't look like it was going to go in."
If the Jayhawks were meant to lose the game, they wouldn't do so without one more shot.
With one second left, Hinrich caught Lee's miss and tossed it toward the basket. The ball never found its mark, as a Colorado player bumped Hinrich. Williams, his players and the Jayhawk fans in attendance all pleaded with the officials, but the officials did not call a foul.
"It happened so fast," Hinrich said after the game. "I thought I got fouled. I don't know. We just didn't play well enough to win."
Time ran out on the Jayhawks with the score exactly as it had been 25 seconds earlier - Colorado 60, Kansas 59.

Another Big 12 Conference game, another hot start, another sputtering finish.
By Ryan Greene

What does that add up to?
Another loss.
The Kansas women's basketball team, (7-9, 0-5), fell last night, 61-49, at Allen Fieldhouse to the 22nd-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, (12-5, 3-1). The loss for the Jayhawks ran their Big 12 losing streak to 21 games.
"You can't win a lot of games with 30 turnovers," coach Marian Washington said. "It's just an indication I think of our inability to sustain the kind of intensity level that we need down the stretch."
The Jayhawks led 23-14 with six minutes left in the first half. After building up the advantage, Oklahoma came back and then pulled away with a 14-0 run.
The Sooners took a 30-26 lead into the half and never relinquished it.
For Oklahoma, junior guard Maria Villarroel made scoring 23 points look easy with her production coming predominately from free throws and layups. Sophomore guard Dionnah Jackson also chipped in with 15 points and nine rebounds.
Even in victory, Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale pointed out that her team's performance made it a bitter-sweet win.
"I felt like I should apologize to Dr. Naismith, Phog Allen, all the great history of this incredible place," Coale said. "I thought the game was ugly; I didn't think we played well at all."
The Jayhawks' statistic sheet showed some positives with three players scoring in double figures, but turnovers played the role of the scarlet letter.
Freshman forward Crystal Kemp led the team in scoring with 15 points but turned the ball over five times. Sophomore guard Blair Waltz also had five turnovers but added 10 points.
Kemp has had trouble with her shooting as of late, but she is becoming more in tune with the Big 12 style of play.
"I'm used to the fact that I may be double-teamed," Kemp said. "It was a matter of relaxing and being confident."
Sophomore guard Stacey Becker had another solid performance off the bench by hitting four three-pointers. She finished with 12 points.
The Jayhawks will travel next to College Station, Texas, to square off with Texas A&M Saturday night. The team knows it has to work on staying consistent throughout the course of an entire game.
"Basketball is a game of runs, and basketball is a game of momentum," Waltz said. "They got our momentum and we didn't get it back. That's part of being mentally tough."

$2 million given for softball stadium
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
What a difference $2 million can make. A new softball stadium was a dream four months ago. Cheryl Womack, a Mission Hills businesswoman, turned the stadium wish into a reality with a $2 million donation in November last year.
"We've had plans for a ballpark for several years, but it really got accelerated after the donation," said Gary Kempf, assistant athletics director.
Now the stadium is on the athletics department calendar. Groundbreaking is
The University hired Sports PLAN Studio, a Kansas City based architec-
scheduled for May 17, Kempf said.
tural firm, to design the facility. Turner Construction will build it.
Kempf said the stadium should be fully operational by March 2004.
What remains unknown is how much of the stadium will be built with Womack's donation alone.
softball coach, Tracy Bunge, said the construction of the stadium would be a two-phase process, depending on whether another donor comes around with another $2 million check.
The total cost for the basic facility plus amenities is estimated to cost $4 million. Phase one will consists of building the infrastructure, field, seating and then additional items such as bathrooms and concession stands, Bunge said.
The field includes the actual playing surface, drainage system, sprinkling system, dugouts, fencing, bullpens and batting cages. Bunge said the stadium would probably start off with 800 seats with the hope of adding 400 seats in the second phase.
The second phase consists of building luxuries such as locker rooms, a training room, an equipment room and a video room. Jayhawk Field, the current softball stadium, faces away from Hoglund Ballpark.
"We feel like with phase one we will be able to build a marvelous ballpark we could live on," Kempf said. "Whatever we build in phase one can get us by very well. Phase two gives us the amenities that will continue the progress of our program."
The home plate of the new facility will be located in the current center field of Jayhawk Field. The outfield of
the new ballpark will directly face Hoglund. This change of location will allow room for a new mutual entryway for both the new softball stadium and the SuperTarget Field, home of the soccer Jayhawks.
Bunge has been talking with Lawrence city officials to find a park to play exhibition games in the fall of 2003 when the stadium is being built.
She knows the fall accommodations won't be the best, Bunge said, but she thinks her players will forget about all that once they step into the new facility.
"We probably won't have ideal practice conditions but it's easier deal with when you have a finished stadium coming," Bunge said.

It seems *Titanic* has sunk yet again.
John Maestas, music manager at Hastings, 1900 W. 23rd St., said the store's stock was overflowing with 120 used copies of the soundtrack from the 1997 Kate Winslet/Leonardo DiCaprio blockbuster.
"We'll take back anything and everything," Maestas said. "If no one else will take back Titanic, we'll take Titanic."
Hastings is one of three Lawrence music stores that buys and sells used CDs. Hastings, Love Garden Sounds, 936 1/2 Massachusetts St., and Kief's Downtown Music, 823 Massachusetts St., will pay as much as $4 for a used CD, which can mean valuable pocket cash for struggling students.

All three stores offer a money-back guarantee on their used CDs, and Love Garden and Kief's allow customers to preview CDs before purchasing them.

"Sometimes I'll sell back CDs and use the money to buy a brand new CD," said Mandy Miller, Paola senior.
Miller said she sold CDs to Hastings last summer, but an employee wouldn't buy her copy of The Cranberries' To the Faithful Departed because the store had too many copies in stock.
"They bought back a Limp Bizkit CD, though," she said. "Yeah, I used to be into that crap."
Aaron Beall, music associate at Hastings, said the store did not limit the number of copies of the same title it would buy back.
But if the CD were in questionable condition and the store had several copies in stock, then the Hastings employee might choose to pass on the item.
Hastings, Love Garden Sounds and Kief's Downtown Music will pay as much as $4 for a used CD, which can mean valuable pocket cash for struggling students.
service representative at Kief's, said the store previewed used CDs to make sure they didn't skip, but otherwise no special cleaning or preparation was done.
"You have to clean CDs from the middle out," she said, "and sometimes you might mess it up worse."
Sichampanakhone said minor scratches wouldn't affect the playability of a CD, but deeper scratches were definitely
a problem.
"If you can feel the texture of the scratches then it's probably not going to play," she said.
Beall said the CD must have its original cover art for Hastings to buy it back. When a CD has no cover art, he said thats a big indicator the person has burned the CD himself and is trying to get money for it.
Miller said Love Garden carried music that she listened to the most, such as alternative and classic rock.
She said the store also had a lot of rare CDs.
"I've got a lot of Tori Amos singles from there," she said. "Once I found a Wanda Jackson CD for my dad, and those are sometimes hard to find."

Native grooves move study abroad students
By Beth Braunsdorf

Jayplay staff writer
For some students studying abroad, new language proficiency wasn't all they picked up.
The music of the countries they visited also rubbed off.
A DAY IN THE LAND OF MUSIC
Andrew Holtmann, Leawood junior just returned from a six-month stay in Accra, Ghana, located in western Africa. There he experienced how fulfilling the drums could be.
"Everyone I met was a drummer, drum teacher or played guitar," Holtmann said.
Besides drums, Holtmann got the opportunity to take a few xylophone classes.
Andrew Holtman, Leawood junior, (right) gives Rasta Bush Doctor (left) guitar lessons near the University of Ghana. Many foreign students traded guitar lessons for drum lessons, fruits or other items.
Unlike the in United States, Holtmann said music was one of the biggest parts of Ghanaian life.
"The popular music was mainly reggae that was uplifting for hopeful people in need of help,"

huge celebration."
"They play more music,more often with many more musicians," Holtmann said.
Every country has its own music icon. Holtmann said Ghana's popular export was Rocky Dawuni.
"He's like the Bob Marley of Ghana. He played his drums and guitar and spread his Rasta love," Holtmann said.
Julia Tata, Palm Desert, Calif., junior just returned from a seven-month stay in Adelaide, Australia.
"The music was extremely Americanized," she said. Tata attended a John Mayer concert in a bar that resembled Lawrence's Granada. The ticket price was similar to what she thought it would cost in the states.
Tata never learned to play a new instrument, but the didjeridoo, an Aboriginal musical instrument, did interest her.
As for keeping in touch with their new found music, Holtmann said he would
continue listening to the music he brought back, but Tata said she would stick with what has always appealed to her.

Lower standards may lessen inhibitions
COMMENTARY
Everyone has done it. Some people aren't proud of it. Those who protest the loudest that they're innocent are the ones who probably do it most.
Patrick Ross
pross@kansan.com
I'm talking about slumming, the fine art of lowering your standards when it comes to finding a sexual partner. Whether you got shanghaied while you were three sheets to the wind,you were horny and suddenly she looked good or you just didn't want to go home alone again and he was good enough for a night, you were slumming.
And although I try to make it a practice never to sleep with someone I wouldn't be comfortable dating or having as a friend, these things happen to the best of us.
It's always nice to seal the deal with the hottie you had your eye on. But sometimes you turn around and it's closing time — he or she is gone and your friends have already hooked up. You pick from what's left. You've got to make the best of it. Assuming you don't sober up or chicken out in time to avoid the actual sex, you'll be dealing with a unique opportunity.
First, remember that slumming isn't necessarily shameful. When alcohol is involved, a lot can happen. If the worst was sleeping with someone you don't ever want to see again, you got off easy. OK, so maybe the person was a little grungy or smelly or not quite whom you pictured yourself with in that "white picket fence" fantasy, but relax. Slumming means there's no pressure to do your best.
After all, it's not as if she's that hot girl from your American history class, and he's certainly no Brad Pitt.
There are a couple of ways to make slumming less tedious. You're not trying to impress anyone. Try something you've always wanted to try but have been afraid
to ask because you feared your partner's reaction.
Is your pick of the evening a little too dirty? Play outside in the mud. This would be the perfect time to add some grime to your grind. Just don't get any gunk in sensitive areas and make sure you wash up afterward.
Or perhaps this one-night stand could do with a little freshening up. Get it on in the shower.
If you need a little help performing, throw on a porn flick and watch it while you tend to each other's needs. Sometimes, porn can add just the right mood to a slummy thrust-session.
Slumming gives you the freedom to suggest ideas that otherwise might seem outrageous. And the worst thing that can happen is the other person leaves. You didn't want to have to cuddle anyway, did you?
All in all, slumming isn't the worst thing you can do. It's not necessarily bad if you're inclined toward one-nighters.
Be creative and uninhibited. If you're going to endure jibes and jeers from your friends about your choice of partner, wouldn't it be great if you could retort about how great the sex was?

Professional waxing has many advantages
By Marissa Stephenson
mstephenson@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
Hold still. You'll barely even feel it ...
These and other reassuring phrases are token for aestheticians — skin care specialists — like Pat Risley at Images Salon & Day Spa, 511 W.9th St.
She said waxing was similar to pulling off a Band-Aid.
Risley offers waxing treatments for face and body and is quick to list waxing advantages.
"Waxing minimizes ingrown hairs, razor burn, it lasts longer, and it is easier on your skin," she said.
Courtney Vescio, Lawrence freshman, said she thought waxing helped retain her tan longer.
"When you shave you take off your top layer of skin cells," she said. "Since waxing lasts so much longer, your tan can last with it."
Risley said that unlike shaving, waxing removed hair by the root, and continuous waxing over time could lead to elimination of hair altogether.
"Think of hair as a bad weed," she said. "You pull it up by the roots, and it can't ever grow back."
Although one can wax at home, the hassles can cause more stress than needed.
Vescio said she tried buying her own waxing kit at the store, but the results were disastrous.
"Itried Nair and a do-it-yourself kit," she said. "It was horrible. I was literally pulling clumps of wax off my legs."
Katherine Schwarten, Leawood
sophomore, also said she would stick with the professionals.
"The only thing I've ever tried to wax is my eyebrows, and only once," she said. "I applied the wax and accidentally smeared a portion in the middle of my brow. It left this gaping hole. I haven't trusted myself to do it since."
"Because of the angles it can be very difficult to wax yourself," Risley said. "Plus, mass produced products just don't have the same quality."
Besides her many female clients, Risley also has quite a few men come in for waxing treatments. She said more men were coming in to wax their eyebrows or backs.
Jason Harris, Chanute junior, tried waxing his own back with a Nair waxing kit. The results, he said, were not spectacular.
"I thought the cheapest way would be to use the Nair wax, but I have very sensitive skin and ended up breaking out all over," said Harris. "This spring break I'm planning on going to a professional to get it done."
But not everyone is aboard the waxing bandwagon.
Loretta Delp, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, said she never cared to wax anything.
"I could go the rest of my life without waxing a thing," Delp said. "After all, I've made it this long."
Other Lawrence salons that wax are Salon Di Marco & Day Spa, 733 Massachusetts St., Headmasters, 809 Vermont St., and Beauty Brands Spa Spa Superstore, 3514 Clinton Parkway.

Bouncers use tricks to detect fake IDs

Stuart Reed, Lawrence resident, middle, talks to customers at Abe & Jake's Landing. As a bouncer, he said he always had to watch for minors trying to get in and had to make sure people stayed out of trouble.

He might be sitting on a barstool, but he is not drinking alcohol.
He is the bouncer, and the first face many students see when they enter a bar. Bouncers have the job of making sure total mayhem does not ensue in an unpredictable environment.
A bouncer must have the ability to handle intoxicated people, which James Gregory, a bouncer at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., knows well.
"It takes a certain type of demeanor," Gregory said. "It requires that you need to be nice when you don't want to be but not too nice. It's a fine line. I find it best not to be an outright jerk."
In a town full of underage college students, it is necessary to be able to pick out minors. Some bouncers rely on clues from fake IDs and body language.
Micah Woulfe, a bouncer at the Jazzzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., said he could determine whether an ID was fake by looking at the hologram on the ID.
"If it's fuzzy and the person handing it to you is frigidity, they're probably underage," he said.

Gregory uses an approach similar to the way police officers ask intoxicated motorists to recite the alphabet. He said he could detect minors by their words.
"They're usually a minor when they say, 'I swear it's me,' before I even look at it," Gregory said. "It's because they're nervous."
Although some bouncers use the tricks of the trade and their own experiences to spot minors, Dan Pound, a bouncer at the Eighth Street Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St., uses a more instinctive approach.
"It's a certain look in the eye that says, I'm an amateur," Pound said.
"It takes a certain type of demeanor. It requires that you need to be nice when you don't want to be, but not too nice. It's a fine line. I find it best not be an outright jerk."
James Gregory checks the ID of Steve Hammond, Lawrence resident, and Jen Cardinal, Olathe senior. Gregory said he detected minors by listening to what they said.

Despite the sharp eyes of bouncers, underage drinkers can still weasel their way into the bars. Adam Waechter, Lawrence junior, has his own way of evading the man at the door.
"A couple times there have been bands I wanted to see at over-21 bars," Waechter said. "I just waited outside and helped the band carry their stuff in. The bouncer just thought I was with the band."
Shima Ortiz, a Lawrence resident who is now 21, received help from her friends when she was too young to drink at Lawrence night spots.
"I'm friends with the friends of bounce-
ers, so I was cool by association." Ortiz said. "When I showed my ID, they gave me a bracelet instead of X-ing my hands."
Other techniques used by students do not pan out as well.
"A couple nights here and there people will try to give me money," Woulfe said. "It's usually just a few bucks, so I don't let

Bouncers also have the job of overpowering rowdy patrons without inflicting harm.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department said bouncers were not exempt from any laws. If one inflicted harm on another person, he could be arrested.
While dealing with tricky minors and legal maneuvers, bouncers must also watch for visibly intoxicated patrons and past troublemakers who can be barred from drinking establishments.

Grape expectations: different wines suit taste
By Scott McKenzie smckenzie@kansan.com Jayplay staff writer
Even though beer is heavily associated with college life, that doesn't mean students never kick back with a cold glass of Chardonnay.
Fortunately, you can identify different types of wine by color. Also, they have been further divided into categories, based on the type of grape used.
In America, the wine must contain at least 75 percent of the grape type to be legally named after the grape. So a Merlot might contain some different grapes, too, but at a minimum it contains 75 percent Merlot grapes.
Most wines are described as having some dominant flavor. Depending on the maker, some difference is to be expected. This means that no two wines will taste the same. While this is not meant to be an exhaustive summary of wines, it should give you some idea of what variety is available and what to expect when you select a bottle at random.
Most wines are described as having some main flavor to them. Depending on the maker, some difference is to be expected. This means that no two wines will taste the same.
White Wines
The basic types of white wine all tend to be much lighter and crisper than either of 0the reds or blushes. Chardonnay, the most popular type of white wine, has a nice fruity character to it.
You might find apple, lemon or citrus notes as you enjoy your drink.
Chardonnay works well with nice winter soups such as clam chowder. The Riesling has a floral and fresh feel. However, it can tend to be rather dry tasting. This might be something you enjoy, and it might not. The Riesling makes a great wine to enjoy with your desserts. A Semillon might have a
grassy feel to it. Fig might also be found, but depending on the variety, it may be blended down to reduce this aspect of the wine.
A Gewürztraminer has an incredibly hard name to pronounce. But don't think about that as you enjoy its nice floral notes. The nature of this wine lends itself to being enjoyed with spicy foods.
Blush Wines
A rosy color describes these wines. White Zinfandel, the overwhelming favorite of the blush world, is a purely American grape, so if you're feeling patriotic, it's a good choice. Don't be confused by the name, it's a blush. Also, being domestic means it's cheap. This is your pick for a basic wine. You can find out more about the Zinfandel at the Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) homepage at http://www.zinfandel.org.
Red Wines
These wines are a good deal heavier to drink than whites. They also make worse stains when you spill them. Be careful.

Cabernet Sauvignon, the major "fancy" wine, can have currant or black cherry tastes to it. For you carnivores, this makes a great complement to rich, meaty dishes. Merlot is rather like the Cabernet Sauvignon, which it's often blended with, but smoother with less tannin.
— Edited by Jason Elliott
Merlot also goes well with many foods. Pinot Noir, another of the classic fancy wines, has a spicy feel and some cherry notes. It goes well with almost all foods. Zinfandel is not only a blush, but can be a fine red wine, too. In the Red Zinfandel, look for hints of blackberry and raspberry.

EAT THIS
Sipping on a glass of wine while indulging in a meal that complements it is quite a harmonious task.
There is a balance between food and wine, and when the two are corrected, a symphony of flavors explodes. It's quite stimulating until a condescending waiter ruins the moment. Although some might think students are too young to know about good wine, I disagree. I won't let annoying waiters keep me down, nor should you.
Every time I request to see the wine list at a restaurant (especially at an expensive one), 90 percent of the time I am mocked by an irritated server. After a few minutes of awaiting the menu, the server comes back to the table and finally hands it to me.
As I glance over the various wines, the server approaches and asks, "Have you come to a decision?" I quickly respond, narrow down my choices to a chardonnay (a white wine) and then proceed to ask about the different selections. With extreme annoyance, I am told about the whites; I select a Chardonnay, and the waiter is infuriated with me the rest of the evening.
Do I look to young too be drinking wine? Am I not at that particular age to start drinking wine? Do I look too stupid to know anything about wines? What's the deal? Maybe there might not be many 20 something connoisseurs, but we can at least know the basics of wines.
This weekend, don't surrender to the usual drink of choice — try ordering a glass
of pinot grigio or merlot. Hopefully such experiences as my own won't be reiterated, and if so, show an "appreciation" through the tip.
Graduate your taste buds with honors and dive into one of these fantastic wines, while accompanying a favorite food item. You will learn which wine goes with what in no time.

'A Guy Thing' lacks originality, humor, plot
REVIEW
Some movies are just meant to be on television. They belong there. These movies should just skip the theater, skip video, skip HBO, skip network TV and go straight to cable. Comedy Central, in particular, seems the appropriate place for them. A Guy Thing is one of those movies.
P. G. A. S. A. S
Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com
It's the story of soon-to-be-married Paul (Jason Lee) who, after his bachelor party, wakes up with a woman who isn't his fiancée. This woman is Becky (Julia Stiles), a free spirit who can't hold down a job and, as luck would have it, is also Paul's fiancée's cousin. Paul can't bring himself to confess to his fiancée, and further run-ins with Becky lead to awkward situations and ultimately infatuation. Eventually, Paul realizes he's in love with Becky. (Wow, didn't see that one coming?) Soon you come to find you've wasted 90 minutes of your life that you can't have back.
One of the biggest problems with A Guy
Thing is that the characters are cardboard characters placed in unrealistic situations. Neither Paul nor his fiancée Karen (Selma Blair) seems particularly in love with one another, and all the characters act like lifeless caricatures that could have been real if more effort had been put into fleshing them out.
A Guy Thing sets up a series of running gags, which are intended to be funny but end up failing miserably. Aspects of the plot have been done before: Becky's jealous, unstable ex-boyfriend; Paul's bizarre parents; masturbation jokes; waiting for someone to object at a wedding. Some scenes (such as when Paul gets crabs and runs into his future mother-in-law at the pharmacy) are cringe-inducingly bad.
The most disappointing part of the movie is Lee. He hasn't yet proven that he can hold up the leading role in a film. His two best movies, Almost Famous and Mallrats, succeeded because he was more of a sidekick than anything else. In these films, Lee's character had a clear, distinct personality. Try finding any personality in Lee's character in A Guy Thing. Apart from an overactive imagination (a minor character trait that never really goes anywhere), Paul is flat, lifeless and boring.
The silver lining to this black cloud of cinematic doom is the music. Little snippets of great songs by great bands such as Wilco, The Shins and Ben Kweller show up in the

background from time to time, but pay attention or you'll miss them. If just a shred of the thought and creativity that went into choosing the music in A Guy Thing had gone into the script and characters, the movie might not have been so forgettable.
If you miss it in the theater, don't worry. Odds are that this one will be on Comedy Central soon.

About a Boy
About a Boy is an extraordinary balancing act from American Pie co-directors Chris and Paul Weitz. The movie stars Hugh Grant as a 21st-century loner who befriends a socially troubled London boy with a suicidal mum. About a Boy is really about the absence of fathers and consumer-age solitude. Its humor and emotion work on the comedy-drama level of Woody Allen's heyday.

FeardotCom
The Internet, a purportedly autonomous outlet where anyone can
reach out to anyone, is going to inspire a great horror movie one day. FeardotCom isn't it. But after you suffer through its literally torturous opening half, the movie strips away all semblances of logic and becomes a freaky, enjoyable trip.
REVIEW
---
Stephen Dorff, Natascha McElhone and Stephen Rea manage to keep straight faces through some pretty silly dialogue. Nicholas Pike's score is rich and haunting, and the shock-cut imagery leaves you craving for a Tool concert. William Malone, who also directed House on Haunted Hill, is of a new, derivative school of stylish horror directors, of which Paul Anderson (Event Horizon) is the master.

Blue Crush
Kate Bosworth is an easy-on-the-eyes distraction in Blue Crush, so much so that it took me nearly 20 minutes to realize this movie had no plot. Bosworth surfs with
gal-pals Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe Lake as they moonlight during the day as maids with big dreams. Director John Stockwell remains stingy on the close-ups to keep the watcher's attention away from how thin these characters are.
I have a feeling Blue Crush will play well in sorority houses, where the movie's theme of girl-power is sure to resonate. The underwater photography is gorgeous, but I prefer Stockwell's previous effort the red-hot interracial romance crazy/beautiful.

The obvious examples here include Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
Even somewhat promising newer acts such as Avril
Ramon Miera

Contributed art
Lavigne and Michelle Branch, who hit the scene promising to bust the sex-must-sell reality of mainstream pop, have now succumbed to the same formula for easy, unsubstantial success.
Thankfully, there exists a formidable audience for female vocalists that thrive off acts such as Rainer Maria and its recent fourth album Long Knives Drawn.
Formed in the late '90s at the University of Wisconsin, Rainer Maria gained national underground acclaim with 2000's A Better Version of Me. The passionate and unique vocals of Caithlin De Marrais make this recent release another quality recording.
Although nothing in its instrumentation is particularly intriguing or substantial, De Marrais' vocals serve as the vehicle that make each of Rainer Maria's albums, particularly Long Knives Drawn, worth looking in to.
Where some of her harmonies may fall short, the urgency and passion in her
vocals substitute any shortcomings in the music.
Solid songwriting is present throughout the album, especially in tracks "Ears Ring" and "The Double Life."
Taking into account the current state of mainstream music, Rainer Maria serves as a much-needed break from the limited talents of today's acts.
Rainer Maria's new album is a welcome addition for those seeking underground rock music without much edge but nine solid pieces of songwriting.

Black City Division of Laura Lee
---
America was invaded by Swedish rock bands in 2002. Division of Laura Lee, a four-piece band from Goteberg, Sweden, was among those washed up on shore. Division of Laura Lee effortlessly runs the gamut of its influences on its new record Black City.
Black City provides glimpses into the past with songs reminiscent of The Rolling Stones,The Stooges, Echo and the Bunnymen. Similarities to contemporaries like Interpol and The (International) Noise Conspiracy are also evident.
With songs ranging from the up-tempo "Second Rule Is", to the barely awake sound of "I Walk on Broken Glass," the band has created a record that is initially diverse but wears thin on repeated listens.
Throughout the record, vocalist Per Stalberg sounds bored. Rock 'n' roll is

monotone, dull vocal style that leaves songs feeling flat.
With a few more years and albums under their belt, Division of Laura Lee has the potential to become a great rock band. Standout tracks like the laid-back "I Guess I'm Healed" show how the band can be creative within their relatively derivative sound. With more songs like these and a more cohesive feel for its records, the band could create something truly memorable.
Division of Laura Lee will be at the Bottleneck with Burning Brides on Jan. 26.

The In Sound from Way Out The Yards
So obscure are regional independent instrumental band The Yards that virtually no information exists about it on the Internet. Furthermore, someone forgot to tell The Yards a British band is alive and well and operating under the same name.
Falling somewhere between the Beastie Boys' collection of various instrumental tracks and Phish's nonvocal tracks, The Yards rather effectively combine elements
of rock, blues and jazz to form a competent instrumental album. It's recent self-titled release, recorded here in Lawrence, features 11 tracks. Tunes are carried mostly by Bradford Hoopes' work at the Hammond organ, which functions as the lead instrument on most of the tracks on the album.
Another component effectively adding quality to the rough nature of the album is producer Tom Johnson's "live" recording of the album. Instead of using overdubs, each member of the band records a song in unison. This technique was often used by major record producer, Steve Albini, on such albums as Nirvana's In Utero. The recording sounds considerably more raw than conventional recordings.
No individual track particularly sticks out in this album. "Sunday Night" features a toned down, sentimental feel, but otherwise, an upbeat

sound dominates the album.
Its purpose might be stated as one to create a mood or atmosphere rather than one to sit down and to listen to.
The Yards does not fail musically nor does it particularly succeed, but the album will surely please enthusiasts of the mid-1990s genre of jam bands similar to Phish.

Rollins assaults culture,encourages crowd
With a bottle of water and some notes, a older-looking and smiling Henry Rollins greeted a sold out-Liberty Hall Sunday.
From the moment he walked on-stage, Rollins grabbed the attention of the audience and refused to let go. For nearly three hours, Rollins spewed his one-of-a-kind brand of rhetoric on topics ranging from dating, a New Year's Eve party with the Osbournes, Winona Ryder, Iraq and everything in between.
Now in his 40s, Rollins shows no signs of slowing down. Aside from his graying hair, he looks and acts more energetic than most people half his age. Dressed in black from head to toe, Rollins relentlessly assaulted anyone and anything he disapproved of in such a way that kept the audience laughing.

Henry Rollins Spoken Word Tour GRADE: A
Rollins an effective and enrapturing speaker. He can make a serious and valid point in a way that entertains the audience and keeps them interested, rather than coming off as a preacher.
One of the recurring themes of the night was that of culture in America.
While he disagreed with a pop-culture environment saturated with Creed and J. Lo, Rollins asserted that American culture was alive and kicking.
"Pop culture is fine," he said, "if you don't get it from the strip mall."
He encouraged the audience to seek out
good culture, whether it be independent films, underground music, books, art or anything outside the norm.
Rollins also gave those in attendance a Do-It-Yourself message of hope for the country.
"We can have one of the greatest countries, but it is up to the people," he said. "People have to change their mind to make the country better."
With his take-charge attitude, animated-speaking style and entertaining banter, Henry Rollins gave a spectacular performance. The three hours seemed to fly by and left me wanting more.

Kansan staff writer
In what has been called a key arrest in the war on terror, federal agents apprehended a man claiming to be the Lord of Isengard Saturday at the Campanile.
The man, who told authorities his name was Saruman, held the tower hostage in what became a four-hour standoff with federal agents.
Saruman's presence was first noted around 2 p.m when carillonneur Bethany Ellison noticed a white-clad adult male gallivanting about "like he owned the place."
"He kept yelling spells at me and telling me to drop my keys, so I did it just to humor him," she said. "I thought it was kind of cute."
KU Public Safety Officers did not agree. When Lt. Schuyler Bailey arrived 20 minutes later, he found a harrowing scene. Saruman sat high in the tower amid a cloud of smoke and a pile of crushed Rheingold beer cans picking out the melody to Wilco's "War on War" on the carillon's keys.
"He offered me a hit of what he said was the finest weed in the shire, and then asked to borrow my walky-talky to get in touch with his orcs," Bailey said. "I politely reminded him that KU is a dry campus, but he just laughed and said the blood of humankind would change all that."
Puzzled by Saruman's erratic behavior and threatening words, Bailey left the Campanile
and contacted two FBI agents who were in town to help combat underage drinking. The two agents were driven from The Hawk to Campile Hill in armored vehicles after attending a half-hour of Wizard sensitivity training at the Kansas Union.
The lesson in cooperation encouraged agents to dress as Gandalf for a talk down. The attempt failed, however, when Saruman came down from the tower to vehemently tell Gandalf to get off his property.
Already on edge after an exhausting afternoon of apprehending college students, the two agents doffed the costume and drew their firearms, but the wizard still refused to turn the tower over to authorities.
With diplomatic and threatening tactics employed to no avail, the agents tried ridiculing the wizard into open confrontation, calling him
names like "Merlin," and "fan-boy." Though Saruman shook his staff in protest, it was ultimately his love of Enya that did him in.
When federal agents began making disparaging remarks about Enya, who contributed tracks for emotional scenes of the films, a furious Saruman rushed out of the campanile tower, cast aside his staff and put his dukes up—just long enough for agents to handcuff them.
Saruman was anything but graceful in his arrest, spitting out a final threat to his captors.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
If you've read the Tongue-in-Beak during the last year, you may have noticed a disclaimer in the upper-left corner reading: "this page is satire."
This bothers me. It may be true, but I think it sells us short. Just like the rest of the Kansan staff, the writers for this page are doing their best to convey news to you in an accurate fashion. It's just that their imaginations get in the way.
In a sense, this section is a lot like a basket made at a correctional facility. It might be half-cracked and awkwardly thrown together, but in the end you know a lot of love went into making it.
Like Mr. Henry once told Future Man "The world needs dreamers." So does the Kansan. Rather than throw them out in the street, Tongue-in-Beak seeks to bring imaginative journalists into the fold, giving dreamers their very own playground.
We live in dark times. Difficult times. The nation hovers on the brink of an arguably avoidable war. Cold season is at its peak. Classes are in session.
Consequently, we plan to keep printing the truth as best as we understand it. Our only disclaimer is this: nonsense-may come into play. Silliness will run rampant through these pages. And you can help.
So far, our staff consists of students living in the Greek system, Scholarship and Residence Halls, and off-campus. We have writers from two different genders. But we can do better. If you'd like to contribute, or feel your viewpoint isn't being properly made fun of, just let us know. Thanks for reading.

The Campanile
In the groundbreaking 1979 essay Lightning Rods of the Gods: The KU Campanile and other masterworks of the über-phallic style, KU professor of architecture Babar Otis compares the structures:
"The Campanile represents a theoretical disjunction with the neo- Sumerian typology preferred by Orthanc and other Middle Earth edifices, while maintaining a certain continuity with the Tolkeinian phenomenological tradition. Note in the Campanile the inclusion of classical tripartide ordering principles in the construction of the monument that provides a paradoxically postmodern interpretation of the biotechnology-determinist beginnings."

Baby Jay teething over trust fund woes

Kansan staff writer
Julius Orenthal "Baby Jay" Hawk, beloved for over a decade and a half as KU's "kids-oriented" mascot, has stepped forward to defend charges he apparently made in a San Jose Mercury News sports feature last Tuesday. Charges—ranging from financial mismanagement to coverups and blackmail—have been vehemently denied by the athletics corporation.
This denial confronts claims of account tampering that Baby Jay stated were "well-documented" when questioned at an Ekdahl Dining Commons Martin Luther King Day event Monday.
"They flagrantly skimmed interest off my trust fund for years, funneling it to blue chip prospects; keeping me silent via intimidation and the constant threat to cut me off," said Baby Jay. "That worked when I was a minor, but since I came of age last month I got a right to what was. and is. mine."
Athletics corporation officials are reeling this week after previously anonymous accusations of financial misdeeds were sourced to within their own nest.
"You must understand," countered Ira Fleischmann, KUACs public relations director. "Julius is a very sick bird—with a history of deceit, manipulation, and substance abuse."

Unflappable in public, Baby Jay enjoys the solidarity of fans at a recent home game. "My beef with Big Jay in no way affects our relationship on the floor," he said. "Come game-time, we are 100% enthusiasm."
Jay also claimed he had footage of a hotel incident at the 1991 Final Four involving the Big Jayhawk, Duke's Blue Devil, and UNLV's Runnin' Rebel "hot-tubbing" with "junior" mascots from several high-profile NCAA schools.
Yesterday afternoon Baby Jay sat on Wescoe Beach with a guitar singing Bob Dylan's "Only A Pawn In Their Game" to inform students of his plight.
Meanwhile, Big Jayhawk, lecturing at a West Virginia mascot retreat, said only "Julius is gonna learn why they gave me these (expletive) shoes."

New Star Wars game great for action lover
The Star Wars franchise always has pretty decent games—"Star Wars Bounty Hunter" is no exception.
REVIEW
REVIEW
This game is available for different gaming systems, but I decided to check out the PlayStation 2 version of it. What will catch your eye is the opening sequence with the LucasArts logo. Other Star Wars games also have interesting openings.
Chris Moore cmoore@kansan.com
For instance, the logo battles with a lightsaber in the opening of "Star Wars Jedi Power Battles." In "Bounty Hunter," Jango Fett shows up to claim a bounty on the logo. He then takes its place as the new LucasArts logo.
You play as Jango Fett, considered one of the greatest bounty hunters of all time. He's the guy who gets decapitated by Jedi Master Mace Windu in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
The setting takes place right before Episode II. Darth Sidious, leader of the Sith, has entrusted his new apprentice, Darth Tyranus, with two missions before his training can be completed. Tyranus must eliminate the Bando Gora and find a suitable template for his master's clone army.
Tyranus states that he will complete his task with one swoop. He places a hearty bounty of five million republican credits on the head of the Bando Gora's leader, Komari Vosa, who turns out to be a jedi gone rogue and Tyranus' old pupil.
STAR WARS
BOUNTY HUNTER
He figures that any bounty hunter with the skills to take on the vile gang will surely be the perfect specimen for the clone army. Jango then goes in motion to locate Komari, but he is not alone in the hunt. As you progress through the game you will
encounter friends, allies, suspected rivals and a slew of the vilest criminals in the galaxy far, far away.
The story is a great aspect that the game carries. It goes into detail on a few aspects of Jango's past, such as how and why he became a bounty hunter, how he met the female hunter, Zam,and how he came into possession of the infamous Slave 1.
However, the game play could have been worked on. I always like a good "shoot'em up game," but when the player gets into a heated battle with a few dozen enemies, that's when he notices a flaw. The controls soon become a little sluggish and delayed.
Players soon can find themselves overcome and may have to make a sudden retreat. It takes a few minutes to get acquainted with the controls, but once adapted, he'll be performing moves that would make Jango Fett proud.
What is frustrating about this game is trying to claim optional bounties in levels. Players have the choice of fetching other criminals in the game while also trying to get past certain levels. The frustrating part comes in when one has to scan for them. The first
requirement is to find and lock on a person to see whether he has a price on his head.
Sometimes the people might be in a crowd of the player's enemies, which can be the player's undoing. While in scan mode a player can't move or attack, which can leave the player open to attacks. It's sometimes better to kill off the bounty and not collect the money rather than sacrifice the game.
The game also includes bonus items. One such detail is the Dark Horse comic "Jango Fett: Open Season." As more levels are completed, more pages from the comic book appear. Outtakes from the game, which are sort of like bloopers from the CG animations, are also included.
This game is an OK title to add to your collection. If you enjoy a good "point your gun and destroy everything in sight mission"game plus the added bonus of being a bounty hunter, then go ahead and claim this bounty for your own.

Identity theft'unlikely'in hacking
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
International students whose information was stolen in a hacking incident at the University of Kansas should not worry about the incident affecting travel to and from their home countries, said Chris Bentley, representative for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Despite concerns from University officials, Bentley stressed the difficulties that someone would face in trying to use the stolen information.
"For someone to use this information for travel they would need a false passport, I-20 and visa and
this would be highly unlikely," Bentley said.
The I-20 is a form completed by the university where international students intend to study and is used to obtain the F-1 student visa, which allows entry into the United States.
Bentley said INS was not concerned by the hacking incident because it did not compromise the national Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. The files compromised by the hacker were part of a University test to comply with an INS mandate.
Reaction on campus to the security breach was mixed. As University officials moved swiftly to aid and calm the students whose information was stolen, international
students called upon the University to do more to protect its computer systems.
"I know from experience the computer security system at the University is not very good," said Raed Al Bilbissi, Jeddah, Saudia Arabia senior and a computer science major. "That being said, I was surprised with the level of the security files."
Arun Arargwal, president of the KU Cultural India Club, echoed Al Bilbissi's sentiment.
"We need to take some drastic steps to make sure this doesn't happen again." Argarwal said. "We need to look ahead."
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the University would send a packet of information
to all affected students, and a Web site would be put up to inform the students about what they could do to protect themselves from any further harm.
Al Bilbissi said he thought the University should take full responsibility for the hacking incident.
"I think if someone uses our information, if we are harmed in any way, the University should be held fully responsible," he said.

Whistle may be replaced
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The steam whistle that has signaled the end of classes since 1912 was temporarily silenced yesterday.
The whistle broke away from the power plant structure next door to the Facilities Operations offices shortly after 9:20 a.m. Wednesday. The damage caused to the bronze bowl near the bottom of the steam whistle was beyond repair, said George Cone, assistant director of Facilities Operations.
Cone has been in contact with Richardson's Landing, a whistle manufacturer in Cincinnati, since Wednesday morning about materials and pricing to replace the whistle.
"We watched it blow 25 feet in the air." Cone said. "And this was the not first time. We fixed it earlier this year and we had a hope and a prayer, but I knew this would happen. It's at a point that it has to be replaced."
Cone said he wanted to replace the whistle entirely and estimates the replacement could cost $2,000 to $2,500,depending on the metal. The money for a "We will have a new whistle, but not next week." George Cone Assistant director of Facilities Operations
would come from the Facilities Operations maintenance fund.
A replicate whistle could take a month or more to make because Richardson's Landing doesn't have a pattern for KU's whiste, which came from a 1939 German freight ship.
"We will have a new whistle, but not next week." Cone said.
The whistle's temporary silence has been noted by students and faculty.
"I always notice the whistle and I like it because it lets me know when class is over," said Sarah Jewell, Lawrence graduate student. "I miss it when it's not going."
Cone said it was important the new whistle would sound and look the same as the current one.
"I've been here five years and the whistle is the No. 1 thing I hear about," Cone said. "Anytime it's off or it sounds bad, I hear about it. It has to be important because I get plenty of phone calls."

Tightly-knit students
KU students relieve stress with crafty hobby
Elizabeth Baddeley/Kansan
Elizabeth Baddeley/Kansan
On Christopher Entwhistle's floor in McCollum Hall, the clink of knitting needles has become as normal as the sounds of televisions and stereos.
Entwhistle, Chicago freshman, who started knitting during his first semester at the University of Kansas, said he was not embarrassed by his new hobby. He isn't the only resident on the eighth floor of McCollum Hall who took up knitting last semester.
"I know that there are some guys on the floor that are closet knitters," Entwhistle said.
Carolyn Cornett, eighth-floor resident, said knitting and crocheting were relaxing, and when people saw her working on a project, they wanted to learn.
"I started out making Beanie Baby clothes," Cornett said. "But I've moved on to much bigger and better things since then."
Cornett, Wichita freshman, taught knitting and crocheting to several floormates. Cornett has been knitting since elementary school when her mother taught her.
Cornett and three of her floormates
knit or crochet together several times a week.
"Usually someone is sitting in their room working on a knitting project with their door open," said Laci Gerthart, Hutchinson freshman. "You'll pop your head in, see what they are doing and go grab a project from your room to work on with them."
Gerhart learned to knit from floormate Alicia Vierthaler, Spearville sophomore.
Vierthaler took up knitting over the summer because she could make a variety of projects.
One reason the residents on the eighth floor of McCollum Hall took up knitting last semester was to make Christmas gifts for family members. Gifts ranged from hats and scarves to afghans.
"We all made gifts for Christmas," Kerri Henderson, Topeka freshman, said. "It's great to see your family wear or use what you made them."
Socialization is another reason why students have taken up knitting. Several knitting circles have popped up on

for different activist groups to get together and discuss what is going on in their group," said Karen Keith, Tula, Okla., senior and group organizer. "Basically the idea came from people talking about the need for an active alliance group on campus."
Keith said that, depending on the time of year, the attendance at the circle varied, but members from groups such as Amnesty International, KU Greens and Delta Force had participated.
People work on a variety of projects ranging from knitting to crocheting to needlepoint.
"Just about anything goes," Keith said. "People just drop in, work on a project and talk about the needs of their group."

dean of the School of Music at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., effective July 1.
The search committee's 15 members represent the three departments in the School of Fine Arts — art, design and music and dance — and a representative from the Lied Center, which reports to the dean of fine arts. The committee is made up of faculty, staff and a student.
"This position involves cultural activities that affect everyone's lives in this region," said John Gaunt, chairman of the search committee. "We want a really outstanding person with a broad background in fine arts, demonstrable administrative abilities and someone we feel will be terrific for KU."
Gaunt said the committee hoped to start interviews before spring break and have the new dean ready to begin by July 1. The advertised deadline for applications is Feb.15.
Montgomery found Northwestern's art department appealing because of its prestige at being ranked 10th in the nation for all universities and sixth in music programs by U.S. News and World Report, as well as the school's nearness to Chicago and the private institution's opportunities for fundraising.
But her work here isn't done yet.

Merriam man faces charges of providing alcohol to minors
Lawrence Rieke, a 54-year-old man from Merriam, was tried yesterday on four counts of providing alcohol to a minor. The decision was left to a Douglas county jury, and the case will reconvene today at 8:30 a.m.
nike's stepson, Sean Scott, told the jury Wednesday that his stepfather bought him alcohol at The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., before he was involved in an accident on Kansas Highway 10.
Scott, who was 16 at the time of the accident, was driving drunk when the accident happened on Sept. 16, 2000. Scott was driving to his residence in Johnson County when he lost control of his car, crossed the median and struck a westbound car. The accident killed the driver of the westbound car, Felicia Bland, 39, of Lawrence. Scott was convicted of killing Bland two years ago and was sentenced to five years' probation after pleading no contest to charges of involuntary manslaughter.
Mike Scott, Sean's brother, said his brother had come to Lawrence to visit him.

Springer mulls leaving TV, running for U.S. Senate
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Talk show host Jerry Springer has a secret of his own to share: He's considering running for the U.S. Senate next year.
Springer, a Democrat, said he would decide by summer whether to challenge Republican George Voinovich.
He acknowledged that his nationally syndicated "Jerry Springer Show" could work against him.
"There are pluses and minuses," Springer said. "The plus is that I'm known by everybody. The minus is that I'm known by everybody."
Springer figures it would take $20 million to beat Voinovich and as much as $5 million to win a Democratic primary.
Springer is a former Cincinnati mayor and councilman. He said he also may run for Cincinnati mayor or governor.
"I want to be helpful in rebuilding the party," he said. "Whether I have to be a candidate is a totally separate issue ... I don't need a job."

Slain student's mother criticizes FBI
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The mother of a University of Kansas student stabbed to death in Costa Rica is concerned U.S. authorities have hindered the investigation by failing to get involved.
"I'm just afraid this isn't going to be solved because the FBI didn't participate," said Jeanette Stauffer.
Stauffer has spent the past two years prodding U.S. and Costa Rican authorities to solve the killing of her 23-year-old daughter, Shannon Martin.
Martin was conducting biology research for her thesis project when she was stabbed to death on May 13,2001.
Jeanette Stauffer has spent the past two years prodding U.S. and Costa Rican authorities to solve the killing of her daughter, Shannon Martin.
in the southern Costa Rican town of Golfito.
Costa Rican investigators did their best despite limited investigative resources, Stauffer said.
The FBI has only contributed to the
investigation by testing hair samples from the crime scene at its lab in Washington. D.C., she said.
Judy Orihuela, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Miami office, said Thursday that the FBI did not have jurisdiction in a foreign country and can only provide assistance based on requests from the U.S. government.
Three residents of Golfito have been arrested in connection with Martin's death, but none have been charged in the case and a trial date hasn't been set.
"There was no reason the FBI shouldn't have gotten involved," Stauffer said, because agents were stationed two hours from Golfito in Panama.

Jacobson, assistant professor of theatre and film, will watch Bukowski: Born into This for the first time on the big screen at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.
Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of theater and film, worked as a cinematographer on the film Bukowski: Born into This. Jacobson said he never expected the film to make it to Sundance and is honored to be invited.
Jacobson worked on the film during the last four years.
"When I started working on this, I had no idea when it would be finished, where it would be screened or who would pick it up," Jacobson said. "And now I am on my way to Sundance."
Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of theatre and film, just finished working on a film with Jacobson called Confederate States of America. Jacobson worked as Willmott's cinematographer.

Jacobson said he was the first cinematographer hired for the project on Charles Bukowski.
Jacobson said Bukowski was an alcoholic, blue-collar worker who wrote poetry about his life in a strong voice. When he started working on the film, the plan was to focus on the last year of Bukowski's life when he had cancer. Jacobson said Bukowski couldn't drink during his last year and was treated for his cancer with chemotherapy. Without alcohol, Bukowski was a different person, Jacobson said.
As the project progressed, the focus shifted from the last year of Bukowski's life to his life as a poet
and artist. Jacobson said he was impressed with Bukowski's work and the way he was able to convey his life.
"It struck me how accurate yet lovingly Bukowski was able to show his life," Jacobson said. "There is a real inherent beauty in his work. The work he did as a poet and with prose is incredibly moving, emotional and raw. He has a real edge to his work."
Jacobson said he identified with the importance Bukowski put on perseverance and creating art under any circumstance. More than a year ago, he put Bukowski's poem "Air and Light and Time and Space" on his door to encourage his film students to make films even if they are not considered perfect.

Lawrence schools adopt no-resuscitate policy
Officials say plan wouldn't work in University setting
By JJ Hensley

Kansan staff writer
When a KU student suffers a severe medical trauma on campus, the University of Kansas' standard response is to call 911 and apply basic life support until medical help arrives.
But a recent decision by the Lawrence school board makes sure that response is not standard for all of the district's students.
The board's recently approved do-not-resuscitate policy was
designed to give students, particularly those with terminal illnesses, and their families the option of allowing students to die as they wish in the case of a severe medical emergency.
"Families go through a difficult enough time as it is," said Bruce Passman, executive director of the district's special services division.
Passman helped the district develop the policy.
"The board here has been very enlightened and supportive of it," Passman said. "It's an emotional topic and people tend to get very polarized about their beliefs."
The polarizing nature of the issue isn't what keeps University officials from considering a similar policy. It's logistics.
At Lawrence Public Schools, the student and family wishing to file the do-not-resuscitate request must file paperwork with the district signed by parents, physicians and a qualified witness with no financial ties to the student. Then the nurse, family and designated teachers and administrators meet to determine the course of action in a medical emergency.
Passman said he thought KU's sprawling campus would make it hard to establish a similar policy.
"I think it would be very, very difficult to administer in an organization that size," Passman said. "I think it would be nearly impossible to administer in a university setting."
Ann Eversole, associate dean of student life, said there wasn't any single office capable of housing and distributing the paperwork.
"That's the nature of the University," Eversole said. "It's not a centralized place."
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said KU students who did not want to be resuscitated should carry evidence of that request on themselves, either with a medical bracelet or necklace.
"The students are individuals," Bailey said. "We have to respect what those individuals want."

For Kansas alumnae, life in the public eye flourishes in all forms
By Eddie Yang

Kansan staff writer
Within the past year, the University of Kansas has produced four Playboy models — and had two former alumnae occupy the Office of Governor.
With the inauguration of Kathleen Sebelius as Kansas' new governor on Jan. 13, Sebelius became only the 23rd woman to have been elected governor. Kansas is one of three states to have elected two women as governor. Kansas' first female governor was Joan Finney, elected to one term in 1990.
Burdett Loomis, KU professor in government, said Kansas was receptive to having women as elected politicians.
"Sandy Praeger, Joan Finney, Nancy Kassebaum and Sebelius are pretty moderate and it works well for a woman to be seen as a sensible person who can work with a lot of folks," Loomis said. "Within Kansas, moderate seems to be the name of the game."
Kansas is in the top 10 for states with the highest percentage of female state legislators at 32.1 percent.
"The number of women in the House of Representatives have been rising pretty steady," he said. "In the Senate you have a pretty substantial increase of women, going from very few to 13 or 14."
Loomis said that, although women have been making strides in politics, they were still
considerably short in the numbers in comparison to men.
Loomis said Hillary Rodham Clinton could be a favorite for the Democratic candidate for president in 2008.
"She has the most name recognition and if Bush wins another term with Cheney as his Vice President, in 2008 there would be no incumbent and Cheney would be too old to run." Loomis said. "Women can possibly be in the mix for the next presidential race."
With Sebelius as Kansas' new governor, KU joins Harvard as the only universities with two alumnae elected governor. Arizona governor Jane Dee Hull received a bachelor's degree in elementary education at KU in 1957, while Sebelius earned a master's degree in public administration at KU in 1977.
While Sebelius may never find her way into the pages of *Playboy*, Kristin Black, Jennifer Whalen, Carey Oroke and former *Kansan* sex columnist Meghan Bainum were pictured there during the last year.
But what's more important
— having four girls in Playboy or two alumnae elected as governor?
Cameron Haddad, Overland Park senior, said the governors were more important.
"The governors give KU some positive publicity." Haddad said, "while the Playboy girls will be forgotten when the Playboy's 'Girls of the Big 12' comes out next year."

Roe v. Wadesparks abortion debate
Give women choice, protect their rights
Men are pigs. Who are they to say what a woman can do with her body? Men
M are pigs. Who are they to say what a woman can do with her body? Men and women do awful things to their bodies every day: drinking into blackouts, chain smoking, soliciting promiscuous unadulterated sex with a random hottie. If they are fortunate, they won't have to live with the consequences. If they aren't, they should hope the Supreme Court won't intervene.
The Court decided 30 years ago in Roe v. Wade that essentially said every woman has the right to make choices concerning her own body, no matter how healthy or unhealthy those choices may be.
"Choice is the American way," the signs say. The Supreme Court was correct 30 years ago, and it's justified today.
GUEST COMMENTARY
BROOKLYN
Going by the 14th Amendment, which guarantees that no law can be made that abridges the rights of U.S. citizens, the Supreme Court made the right decision.
Jon Ralston opinion@kansan.com
It's disgusting that a woman can be told what to do with her own body. Hypocrisy is at work when a group of men — and not nearly enough women — sit atop the United States' judicial
system and dictate what choices a woman cannot make. That's what President Bush obviously wants, as heappointed pro-life advocate John Ashcroft as Attorney General.
It's wrong that so many men have so much power concerning a decision that involves primarily women. A man can't understand what it's like to have something removed from their own bodies. It's the same reasoning behind why it took way too long to give women the right to vote.
Abortion is a woman's decision to make—not a man's. To deny a woman the right to make that choice about her body is wrong.
Jon Kaiston is a sophomore in liberal arts and sciences.
Abortion kills children
For three decades, unborn babies have legally been vacuumed and poisoned to death by doctors.
In the debate over choice, consideration of what "choice" is at stake — the choice to kill a person — has been shuffled aside by abortion proponents.
When the nature of the unborn child is seen, abortion ceases to be a medical procedure and becomes apparent as murder.
One real-life story illustrates this.
In the 1960s, Dr. Bernard Nathanson was a leading abortion advocate. He conducted thousands of abortions — including one to destroy his own child. Over time, he became uncomfortable with what he was doing.
When ultrasound became available, Nathanson could see unborn children inside their mothers. He realized he had been killing real human beings.
One of Nathanson's friends, a veteran of a thousand abortions, ran ultrasound during an abortion. The resulting film showed the brutality of abortion with such devastating effect that his friend never performed another one.
Before the procedure, the baby struggled, trying to escape the deadly vacuum that had invaded its haven. It was alive and it wanted to continue to live.
Nathanson, who said, "I worked hard to make abortion legal, affordable, and available on demand," now argues passionately that abortion is wrong.
COMMENTARY
When we study pre-Civil War America, we shake our heads. How could Americans advocate slavery? How could Americans who "personally opposed" slavery allow others to continue it? Their apathy and moral cowardice revolt us.
Joe Pull
opinion@kansan.com
Many greeted the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade with celebration of choice. But "choice" is merely a disguise to hide the real issue: abortion kills a defenseless person.
Choosing to take an innocent life is often convenient, but that doesn't make it right. Abortion as a response to unwanted pregnancy is no more acceptable than is killing the jobless as a response to unemployment.
That an unborn child is still a person can be seen in his or her genetics, development and responsiveness — and in his or her tiny hands, whether inside or outside the womb.
Pull is a Collox, N.D., senior in history and political science.
PERSPECTIVE
Hummer H2: No thank-you; Everyone needs a Prius
While riding along in my Toyota Prius, a half-gas, half-electric hybrid car, I was nearly destroyed in the snow the other day by an out-of-control Ford Excursion SUV.
Subcompact versus supersized, my encounter seemed to embody a greater debate today in the news, one that is largely avoided by the public and politicians alike.
There are far too many SUVs, and far too few hybrids, cruising around the streets of Lawrence. Current attitudes of Americans, as well as current Bush policies, are only going to make the problem worse.
If there is one concept the American population has repeatedly failed to grasp, it has been "nonrenewable" resources. Whether that be coal (dead plants) or oil (dead animals), these resources regenerate every hundred million years or so.
Consumption is driven by demand, and if Americans keep devouring these resources, they will continue to disappear rapidly.
Add to this the current administration's callous encouragement of oil production and SUV purchasing, and you have what seems to be willing ignorance by all.
ignorance is accelerating both problems.
This dependence causes effects, both economic and environmental, and this
The International Energy Agency, an autonomous agency that coordinates and shares information among 26 nations including the U.S., Britain and France, estimated in 2002 that the world would be able to meet oil demand for only the next 25 years.
The Agency expects CO2 emissions to increase by 70 percent by the year 2030, with nearly all of the increase coming from auto emissions. That's thanks to China, India and a number of other developing countries that are realizing their full economic potential, which will result in an explosion of demand for vehicles and oil around the world.
All of this comes at a time when winter in Kansas comes two months late with days of 70-degree weather in January. Global warming is a solid theory, and Americans are a willing part of the problem.
Barring some revolutionary shift in technology, consciousness or both, these numbers will only get worse.
The New York Times ran a story Monday illustrating part of the new Bush economic stimulus plan. Bush has proposed that small-business owners of any kind doctors, accountants, salon owners — could deduct nearly the entire price of the

largest SUVs made as part of a business expense, leaving it up to the taxpayers to cover the difference.
Having the government pay for 75 percent of people's Hummers, a figure straight from The New York Times, isn't going to help the economy or discourage other Americans from buying these gasguzzling, Shoddy, Useless Vehicles.
With Venezuela, the world's fifth largest oil supplier, in economic turmoil and producing no oil, and a war in Iraq a seeming inevitability, even the current oil supply relies on a precarious foundation.
All this comes at a time when the United States' dependence on foreign oil is more foolish and dangerous than ever.
Whether the war in Iraq is only about oil, it is certainly a curious benefit to a new regime in Baghdad. Dependence on oil from the Middle East and Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is a greater threat to national security, and unquestionably a greater threat to the current domestic economy, than any threat posed by Saddam Hussein.
With oil magnates dominating politics and the news, whether they are vice presidents or terrorists, a tax policy and administration moving toward more dependency on these nonrenewable resources only moves the world closer to exhausting its resources.
Economic stimulus needs to go to those auto makers creating alternative fuels and vehicles, instead of rewarding the consumers and producers of the worst polluters.
Decreasing oil dependence also will increase domestic self-sufficiency, as well as curtail the funding of a number of terrorist organizations.
In a nation dominated by fears of terrorism and instability, current policymaking only worsens the problem, funding the source of instability and exposing America's greatest vulnerability.

Hi, I would like to just say that I don't care if the buses can run and K-10 is not closed. If this blind girl can't make it up the sidewalk with her guide dog, school should be canceled.
Mother Nature is a whore. Lawrence was nice over the entire break, and now that school has started back up, she's unleashing her fury.
I don't understand why everyone from Kansas starts freaking out and running around like chickens with their heads cut off when there's 3 inches of snow on the ground.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION
Thank God for science. Science has made wonderful progress in discovering the secrets of DNA.
Our DNA is like a computer program. Once the disk is installed, the program is complete. Once conception takes place, we as human beings are complete. Nothing else is added to each individual from conception onward except food, water and oxygen. Science has proven beyond dispute that human life starts at conception. We are not potential human beings in our mother's womb; we are human beings with potential.
It has been 30 years since the Supreme Court "legalized" abortion. With each passing year, science continues to discover the humanity of the child in the womb. Science is on a collision course with the Supreme Court decision.
This is also obvious in the neonatal units of the hospital. Little tiny babies are surviving and are receiving better care every day, at the same time that abortion continues to destroy babies the same age. It is unbelievable the continued hypocrisy of our society.
Thirty years ago there were only a few organizations and agencies that would help a pregnant woman. Today, there are over 50 of these groups across the state of Kansas, each one offering help, counseling, and assistance (free of charge) to any woman troubled with an untimely pregnancy.
There are alternatives to abortion-wonderful, life-affirming alternatives.
I should also add that there is considerable help for women who are suffering from an abortion experience. With over 300,000 abortions performed in Kansas since 1973, there are thousands of women suffering silently with their abortion. Help with complete confidentiality is available to them. Today, women are helping women who have been victimized by abortion.

Students protest abortion in Washington, D.C.

Students from the University of Kansas gathered with about 50,000 protesters Wednesday in Washington, D.C., to voice their anti-abortion opinions.
About 42 KU students joined 30 other students from Kansas State University, Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University and Ottawa University for the event, which was organized by the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center. Most of the Kansas students
who attended were Catholic.
Kristi Rausch, Andale senior, organized the event. She regarded the trip as a "pilgrimage" and an opportunity to let the government hear her concerns.
"In 30 or 50 years people will look back and say, 'How is it possible we have legalized the murder of babies?' " Rausch said.
Conception. The church, which was designed to hold 6,000 people, was filled with 8,000 anti-abortion supporters.
The group left Sunday morning, and Monday night it attended a Mass that focused on anti-abortion issues at a local church.
The crowd included priests, bishops, archbishops and a White House representative who delivered a message from President Bush.

"Kansas was well represented," Rausch said.
During a rally at the Washington Monument, the group was joined by students from St. Benedictine College in Atchison and Bishop Carrol Catholic High School in Wichita.
Sen. Sam Brownback, U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun (R-Kansas) and U.S. Rep. Todd Tiabrt (R-Kansas) all attended the event.
A march took the group on a two-mile trek to the steps of the Supreme Court. Rausch said the
Rausch said she stood on the steps and looked back at the thousands of protesters behind her.
march was peaceful with people singing, praying and chanting slogans like "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Roe v. Wade has got to go" and "Prochoice is a lie, babies never choose to die."
After they arrived on the steps of the court, many people took some time to pray.
"It's a really powerful experience," she said. "You feel like you make a difference."

sity could cooperate with an INS mandate related to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. Information such as social security numbers, cities of birth, countries of origin and student identification numbers were among the data in the files.
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services, said the hacking incident took place during a "temporary hole" created while the University was updating its security
service. Goodyear said KU officials discovered the problem during a routine security check.
Goodyear said the hacking was related to the University's Microsoft operating system, not the program the University was using to collect international student data for the INS.
Goodyear said she was confident that the University's server was now secure but could not rule out further hacking.
Bretz said the University was cooperating with the FBI as it investigated the case. Investigators were on campus yesterday pursuing leads. Jeff Lanza, special agent for the FBI's Kansas City office, said the investigation was "in its very initial stages."
"The focus is determining the hacker's root and if they were specifically targeting that database," Lanza said.
"We know there's a community that's constantly hacking," Goodyear said. "We're doing all we can to protect the University and the students."

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Seven people — including a father and two of his children — have been charged with distributing about $26 million worth of crack and cocaine in the Kansas City, Kan., area, the U.S. Attorney's office said yesterday.
It is the second major drug-related case announced this week against people who allegedly sold large quantities of drugs around Kansas City, Kan.
dren charged Thursday were Donald L. Johnson Sr., 53; Donald L. Johnson Jr., 32; and Sherie Johnson, 27, all of Kansas City, Kan.
On Tuesday, federal authorities announced charges against 10 people who, they said, had terrorized a part of northeast Kansas City, Kan., with drug-related activity during the last three years.

You're an action-oriented person,
but you can be somewhat impetuous. You'll do better if you have a plan and stick to it. A map might help, too.
good investment now. The work you do yourself puts money into your pocket. And nothing makes you happier than being appreciated.
Taurus (April20-May20). Today is a 6.
Continue to streamline procedures
and save money. Ever think of writing a book on the tricks you've learned? Now is a good time to start - the earlier, the better.
Germini (May21-June21). Today is a 9. Follow through on whatever you instigated yesterday. Odds are still in your favor, but they won't be for long.Don't look down!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
It might not be that somebody was lying to you, it might just be that an assumption was false. Give the benefit of the doubt as you make the correction.
Cancer (June22-July22). Today is a5. Home-improvement projects are a
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5
You've got dreams and fantasies, just like anybody else. You're just a little more practical than most. But don't be too shy to push for what you want.
Early in the morning, set goals that you're not sure how you'll achieve. Then, make a list of the steps you'll take. Include miraculous interventions when necessary.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a
good day.
You have a talent for choosing exactly the right words. That's why you don't have to use very many.
Give the signal, and your vision will materialize.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
You're not lacking for a thing, so don't worry about the money. No point in broadcasting how much there is or isn't. Focus on inspiring new ideas, and the rest will take care of itself.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5.
You can now gain authority, status and income by talking with the right person. Don't be argumentative. Just point out the difficult task you've accomplished, and ask for what you're worth.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 10.
Sail through the day without a care in the world, confident that if one appears, you can handle it. You're more apt to get a lucky break that way.

Remodeled Bottleneck is more fan-ny friendly
Rv Cate Batchelder

Kansan Staff Writer
Music lovers wanting to see a show at The Bottleneck can now have a heightened experience watching and listening to music
about three feet higher.
The Bottleneck, 757 New Hampshire St., remodeled after its New Year's Eve show, closing down for six days to build raised platforms for more seating throughout the venue.
"We thought it was time to give The Bottleneck a facelift." Amanda Haase, bartender and manager, said. "We just wanted to create a better atmosphere. It's been the same for a long time, and we wanted to make something new to start the year off with a bang."
Kelley Weiss/Kansan
THE PARK
Haase said viewers in the back could see better over the floor crowd because of the new platform, and the venue had already sold out a show with the headliners A Simple Plan.
Audience feedback to the remodeling was positive, she said.
Haase, who has worked at The Bottleneck for seven years, said the venue was trying to give back to local bands like Ghosty by paying them more.
Julia Shnyra, Stockholm, Sweden. sophomore, goes to see music regularly at The Bottleneck. She attended its New Year's Eve show featuring The Anniversary with local bands The Gadjits and Ghosty and a show Jan. 15 with Andrew Morgan and The Billions.
"It has more of a mellow feel
She liked the revamped look of the deck and the new seating options. She said the venue had too much open space before and that they converted it into seating well.
Andrew Connor, Sioux Falls, S.D., senior and Ghosty member, played at both shows Shnrya attended. He has played at The Bottleneck since beginning school at the University of Kansas and agreed that the venue changed for the better.
Renovations at The Bottleneck provide more seating and space for customers. Bottleneck employees said there had been good audience feedback because it was easier to watch concerts.
Connor has played roughly 25 shows at The Bottleneck over the past three years and also has attended his favorite shows there
"It has a less sinister vibe," Connor said. "It's more friendly to the average person that's just walking off the street and wanting to hang out."
crowds as well as non-responsive crowds," he said. "I think it's ultimately the band's job to entertain the crowd, to get them into it. I think if you play a good enough show, then they will like it no matter what."
now," Shnyra said, "People might enjoy it more."
Although the stage was not remodeled, owners moved the sound system to the back. However, Connor's view out to the crowd has changed. He saw the seated, "cooler than thou" crowd as a challenge he met every show he played.

Connor said Lawrence crowds could be tough to please, but he liked Lawrence's fans and music scene.

"We teach people that don't know how to knit first," Jason Robertson. Overland Park senior, said. "After everyone knows how to knit, we start discussing politics and what's going in the world."

Co-owner of the Yarn Barn
Bateman recently returned from a National Needlework Association trade show and found that many designers are making more exciting fashions geared for a younger generation.
Another reason for the increased popularity of knitting among college students is that movie stars, such as Julia Roberts, have made knitting "cool." Bateman said. Roberts knitted the hats for the movie, Stepmom, Bateman said.
"The one thing that lots of people don't realize is that knitting is not necessarily cheaper," Bottoman said.
"But you get the satisfaction that you created your project."
While stocking caps, scarves and aighans are the most popular projects chosen by residents on McColum Hall's eighth floor. Cornett said there were a variety of patterns and ideas available on the Internet. Other students like Vierthaler look for ideas while shopping around town.
"It're really neat to go into a store and see something you like," Vierthaler said. "But then to actually create your own — it's rewarding."
"It's nice for people to think that my work looks that good," Vierthaler said. "But at the same time, I made it. It's better than professionally made."
Vierthaler said when people tell her that her work looks professional, she views that as good and bad.

Lawrence safe for Super Bowl
Despite warnings from the National Commission Against Drunk Driving of a 14 percent increase in alcohol-related accidents on Super Bowl Sunday, Lt. David Cobb said the officers weren't worried about a similar increase in Lawrence
The Lawrence Police Department plans to treat Super Bowl Sunday like any other Sunday.

"If the KC Chiefs ever play then we'll have a problem," he said. "Not many people here care about the Raiders."
By Robert Perkins
Cobb said that, unlike the rest of the country, there were not any major problems in Lawrence last year. He said he didn't expect this year to be any different.
Still, many Lawrence residents will be watching the game regardless of the teams playing, and many of those watching will
be drinking alcohol. Ryan Yaeger, Maple Lake, Minn., junior, plans to be among them.
"Beer just makes a good time with friends even better," he said.
Yaeger, who plans to go to a friend's house to drink and watch the game, said he would rather walk home than drive drunk.
"The discomfort of walking home on a cold night is nothing compared to the pain I would feel if I seriously hurt someone because of my carelessness," he said.
Students who will be hosting parties are also taking precautions against drunk driving. Lindsey Rippel, Topeka sophomore, said she wouldn't let people leave her party if they seemed intoxicated.
"I probably won't take anyone's keys, but I will ask them to stay the night if they're drunk," she said.

Jayhawks step up and prove rank
Tomorrow should showcase the biggest college basketball game of the year. The deal was No.1 versus No.2. Undefeated Arizona against undefeated Kansas.
It won't.
One of the teams — the villainous visiting Wildcats — have kept their end of the bargain.
Both teams have misstepped this winter, erasing all thoughts of the seemingly spectacular spectacle that this showdown promised in the fall.
Top-ranked Arizona enters with a 14-1 record, blemished only by a sluggish loss against Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La., four days before Christmas in a game that the Wildcats nearly stole back in the final seconds.
The other juggernaut — the sixthranked Jayhawks — are coming off a catastrophic trip to Colorado. The onepoint defeat to the less-talented but huge-hearted Buffalose seems to have created as many questions for Kansas as did the three setbacks — North Carolina, Florida and Oregon — to start the season.
"We can talk all we want about being a big-time team," said Kansas coach Roy Williams, after his team's 60-59 defeat Wednesday night in Boulder, Colo.
Westlake is, Kansas (13-4 overall, 3-1 Big 12) hasn't done much to prove it is one so far this season.
Behind one of the nation's most difficult schedules, the Jayhawks have beaten only one ranked team, then-No. 17 Tulsa, and have recorded just three victories against seemingly certain NCAA tournament qualifying squads California (12-2), Holy Cross (11-3) and Woming (13-3).
Despite stumbling through the most humbling November in the Williams' era with the back-to-back national spotlight losses against the Tarheels and the Gators in the Preseason NIT, and the loss of budding superstar sophomore Wayne Simien to an untimely shoulder injury, the Jayhawks seemed to finally be performing up to the prognosticators' prophecies of them being one of—if not the —top team in the country.
Kansas reeled off 10 victories in a row and the Jayhawks' starting five was playing with the poise of last year's Final Four-finishing team, averaging an NCAA-best 88.3 points.
Then came Colorado.
The defeat, which snapped Kansas' 23-game Big 12 regular season win streak, wasn't nearly as disparaging for Jayhawk fans as was Kansas' seemingly lack of intensity and execution, especially down the stretch.
The ' Hawks had one of their worst starts, missing their first five shots to trail 5-0. and things didn't get much better.
While Colorado's athletic swinger Stephane Pelle scored 27 points on 10 of 16 shooting, including the game-winner with :25 seconds left, Kansas' potential All-American candidates, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, combined for just 26 points on 10 for 29 shooting.
But as caustic and potentially costly as the defeat against Colorado could be in terms of the Big 12 title, Kansas can turn around its sub-par — by Jayhawk standards with a team as talented as this — start in its first game against a No. 1 team in the Fieldhouse since 1989.
And there's plenty of history against Arizona.
Kansas may hold a 5-1 all-time record against Arizona, including a 105-97 victory last year in Tucson, Ariz., but the Cats are the culprit of what is arguably the most difficult setback in 'Hawks history — 1997's 85-82 stunner in the

Kansas looks past defeat to take on No. 1 Arizona
By Doyle Murphy

Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks will have little time for sulking after their 60-59 defeat to unranked Colorado.
Just three days after picking up their first Big 12 Conference loss of the season, the sixth-ranked Jayhawks (13-4 overall, 3-1 Big 12 conference) will have to regroup in time to face the topranked team in the nation, Arizona (14-1).
If Kansas continues to perform like it did against the Buffalooes, it won't matter who it plays or when, coach Roy Williams told reporters Wednesday night.
"I if we play like we played tonight we won't beat anybody, much less the No. 1 team in the country." he said when asked about the difficulty of playing Arizona so soon. "We still gotta play. It's on the schedule."
The Jayhawks do have one thing going for them heading into Saturday's 12 p.m. meeting — history.
Kansas has beaten the Wildcats in five of the teams' six meetings, including a 105-97 victory in Arizona last season. The one defeat, however, is one Layhawk fans will never forget.

game as the heavy favorite, not only to beat Arizona, but to win the NCAA championship. The Jayhawks had lost just one game all season and featured four future-NBA players: Raef LaFrentz, Dallas Mavericks; Paul Pierce, Boston Celtics; Scot Pollard, Sacramento Kings; Jacque Vaughn, Orlando Magic. At the end of this season Kansas basketball will celebrate the careers of LaFrentz, Vaughn and Pierce with ceremonies to retire their jerseys, including Pierce's at halftime of tomorrow's game.
Kansas' overwhelming talent didn't intimidate Arizona. The Wildcats ended the Jayhawks' title aspirations in the Sweet 16, 85-82.
From there, it was as though Arizona had assumed the destiny many thought belonged to Kansas. The Wildcats marched through their next three games on their way to the national title.
The memory of the 1996-1997 Jayhawks (34-2) is heartbreaking for Kansas fans, but it doesn't mean a thing to Kansas sophomore guard Keith Langford.

Jayhawks need victory to boost team's morale
By Shane Mettlen
smettlen@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team doesn't have much time to reflect on its near victory against a nationally-ranked opponent Wednesday night. The Jayhawks played tough against the No. 22 Oklahoma Sooners but did not have enough in the end to pull out their first Big 12 conference victory in 21 tries.
Oppence:
Texas A&M
Game Time:
7 a.m.
Location:
College Station,
Texas
Kansas now turns its attention to Texas A&M. Coach Marian Washington feels the Jayhawks have a good chance of beating the Aggies when they travel to
College Station for a 7 p.m. tip-off tomorrow night.
"We need to get that one win under us." Washington said. "That would really help us a lot. It would help us stay positive. There's no question you can see a lot of potential. They're just trying to overcome, as best we can, the inexperience."
The inexperience seems to be slowly turning into experience. The Jayhawks were led in scoring by freshman Crystal Kemp's 15 points against the Sooners.
Two sophomores also contributed as newcomer Stacey Becker had 12 points and Blair Waltz dropped in 10.
The Aggies are also young. Not one of the team's starters is a senior and and their second leading scorer, Natasha Summerville, comes off the bench as a freshman.
"There are a lot of things I think we can take advantage of," Washington said. "It's going to be very important for us not to turn the ball over. As a focus we need to take care of the turnover situation, among other things."
The Aggies have had foul problems recently. Center Lynn Classen has picked up four personal fouls in each of their last four games.
KANSAS

Kansas turned the ball over 30 times against Oklahoma. If the turnover woes continue for the Jayhawks they will play right into the Aggies' hands.
"That's probably how they have to look to score, is off their defense," Washington said. "Without question, that's the way they score best and they are going to be very aggressive. I think if we have some strength, can stay poised and can take care of the basketball we'll make it hard on them, too."
Once Kansas breaks Texas A&M's full court press the Jayhawks hope to establish a presence under in the paint.

Jayhawks' home-field hopes
Football is not the only sport in which Kansas State has dominated Kansas and Missouri in recent memory.
By Chris Wintering

Kansan sportswriter
In indoor track, the Wildcats have won 11 of the 13 KU/KSU/MU Triangulars including the last four. This year's meet will be held today at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, located west of Allen Fieldhouse at the corner of Naismith Drive and Irving Hill Road.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said that this was the team's first year to host the event under the new coaching staff. He
said that could help bring the Jayhawks their first title in the event since 1994.
"Hopefully we will get the fan support and make use of the home field advantage to try and break the streak," Redwine said. The meet begins at 4:15 p.m. with field events, such as the weight throw and long jump. It concludes with the triple jump at 6:30. The track events begin at 5:00 p.m. with the mile run and end at 7:45 p.m. with the 4x400 meter relay.
This is Kansas' second meet of the indoor season; the team won the KSU Invitational Jan. 11.
In addition to that meet, three pole vaulters also competed Jan. 18 at the Reno Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nev.
"One of our goals this season is to qualify as many people as possible for the NCAAs." Redwine said. "To have people provisionally qualify this early is good because usually athletes peak later in the year."
Senior Jeremy Hull provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships with a third place jump of 17-4 3/4. He joins sophomore Sondra Rauterkus in the high jump and senior Anson Jackson in the 60 meter hurdles as the only members to provisionally qualify this season.
The Triangular is the first of two consecutive meets in Lawrence. The Jayhawks will host the Jayhawk Invitational from Jan. 31 to Feb. 1.

Kansas ready to compete in home dual
By Jason Gawang

Kansas; apparel.com
The Kansas swburning and diving tenns will host its first home meet of the new year in a dual against Minnesota (4-0) and Colorado State (6-2) at 5 p.m. tomorrow in the Robinson Natatorium.
The Jayhawks are 7-3 in dual competition. Last Saturday, the team defeated Nebyaska and Louisville in Lincoln, Neb.
"Being more relaxed for a home meet is the best approach," Carle Campbell, Kauaas swimming coach, said. "We would like to get in this season's best times against good competition."
Campbell said he was excited to compete against the accomplished coaches of Colorado State and Minnesota. Campbell was an assistant men's coach at Minnesota from 1995 to 1998.
Kansas diving coach Brad Sturge got said the surrounding should never be a factor in competition because the sport was based on mental concentration.
"Every man must should be approached the same way regardless of where the mind is," Sturge said. "This was that there are family and friends in the stands, but the divers cannot worry about looking good in front of them. Otherwise they would be distracted from their focus."
Senior swimmer Gwen Haley leads the team with six first place finishes. Junior swimmer Kieran Johnson is second with five and sophomore swimmer Anny Gruber has four.
"We are coming up on the top part of the season," Ali Colver, sophomore swimmer said. "We're training these next three months of practice now to add to really improve and HC AA channel rankings."

Two games highlight big weekend
Feel sorry for me. Come tomorrow afternoon, I'll be on a plane, far from the arctic chill of Lawrence, on my way to witness what should be an epic Super Bowl.
To make matters worse, the NFL's biggest game will be played in San Diego, a venue so beautiful it makes mythical Atlantis seem like a Raytown Trailer Park.
Why am I upset? Because I know what I'm missing.
While I'm flying toward paradise, Jayhawk fans will bear witness to tomorrow's highly touted game between No. 6 Kansas and No. 1 Arizona. It has the makings to be one of the greatest games ever played in Allen Fieldhouse. The Wildcats and Jayhawks have very similar teams and play an almost identical style of basketball. The two are so alike, we need to take a closer look.
Kansas is first in the country in scoring, followed closely by the Wildcats, who are fourth. Both love to run the floor and have the quick players to get up and down. Arizona matches Kansas with three highly talented starting guards in Jason Gardner, Salim Stoudamire and Hassan Adams. The battle down low will be just as good, as Jeff Graves and Nick Collison match up with Arizona's Luke Walton and Channing Frye. All four possess touch as well as physicality and offer few weaknesses. Advantage:Even
OFFENSE
Despite their high flying, run-and-gun styles, tomorrow's game will not be decided by offense, but rather by the intensity both display on defense. The Jayhawks have been playing inspired basketball since their first three defeats of the season. Arizona is close to Kansas in almost every defensive category, but the Jayhawks will be in front of their home crowd and should be up to the challenge. Advantage: Kansas INTANGIBLE
DEFENSE
INTANGIBLES
Both Kansas and Arizona have been sluggish as of late, with the Jayhawks falling to Colorado their last time out. Arizona, though, has more to lose coming in as the top-ranked team in both polls. The Jayhawks might feel pressure playing in front of their home crowd, but they'll be eager to get the bad taste of losing out of their mouths. Advantage: Kansas
Sometimes late tomorrow afternoon I'll be making the car ride toward San Diego, sunlight streaming warmly through the windows, ignoring the beautiful scenery passing by as I frantically search the radio for the fate of my Jawhaws.

Jayhawk fans should expect victory; don't storm court after beating Arizona
Maryland trailed at the half as it took on top-ranked Duke last Saturday. The 15th-ranked Terrapins, the same team that ousted the Jayhawks from last year's Final Four on its way to a national title and the Vegas favorite by a slim margin in Saturday's game, came alive in the second half and rallied to give Duke its first defeat of the season. Thousands of elated students overflowed onto the playing surface to celebrate a victory over the rival Blue Devils, turning the floor into a frenzied sea of red.
And self-respecting college basketball fans everywhere cringed.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Earlier this school year, the college football season had more than its share of post-game exuberance. Rushing the football field resulted in broken goalposts, injured spectators and the use of a few gallons of pepper spray. But while colleges mull over changes in security and ponder punishment for trespassers, the problem has migrated from the sod to the hardwood.
Fans have already stormed the basket.
Curtis Sample sports@kansan.com
ball court this year at Syracuse, North Carolina, Oklahoma State, Colorado and the aforementioned Maryland, among many others. And the possibility of a Jayhawk victory over the top-ranked Arizona Wildcats tomorrow suggests the party bug could find its way onto James Naismith Court.
While safety concerns are paramount, another important issue arises in this situation—class. Maryland won a national title last year and has a good squad this year. There was no reason for them to ever rush the court.
Successful programs don't go crazy over one victory, no matter the opponent. And while the Terrapin basketball team took the court Saturday and showed its talent, the Maryland students that took the court showed their lack of class, as well as their lack of faith. Bottom line—no one rushes the court if they expect to win.
As for the Jayhawks, Kansas has a history of excellence in basketball, especially in Allen Fieldhouse. In fact, in the past eight years, the 'Hawks have only dropped five games at home. What lesson can we take from this incredible record? Kansas should expect to win at home. In no way am I demeaning Arizona—it's a terrific team that deserves its top ranking and it'll be tough to beat. But nevertheless, expect to win.
So if Kansas pulls out a victory on national television, show Maryland and the nation that Kansas fans have the level of class commensurate with a top-notch program. Celebrate from the bleachers.

KJHKSPORTS
Play-by-play announcers for the University of Kansas radio station KJHK 90.7 FM, Ryan Greene and Mike Alzamora, invite you to listen in as they call tomorrow's men's basketball game against the Arizona Wildcats live from Allen Fieldhouse. Below Greene and Alzamora bring their expectations for the game.
Arizona comes into this game with a mean streak. The Wildcats almost duplicated Kansas' performance Wednesday night by beating Arizona State by a mere eight points. The key match-up to watch in this game will be Arizona's stud freshman swingman Hassan Adams going neck-and-neck with Kirk Hinrich. Adams can slash to the hoop at will, and Hinrich will have to be on his toes on defense at all times. Arizona could have a big advantage inside with strong post
play from Rick Anderson, Channing Frye, Isaiah Fox and Luke Walton. This game is a toss-up, and it will all come down to two things: Who can stay out of foul trouble the longest and whose bench provides the most punch.
Ryan Greene, KJHK play-by-play announcer
The Jayhawks will have to quickly forget their less than impressive performance in Boulder, Colo., on Wednesday night if they plan to knock off top-ranked Arizona. Although the Wildcats nearly blew a 26-point lead versus cross-state rival Arizona State two nights ago, Kansas cannot afford to come out of the gate with its head down. If the Wildcats jump out to an early lead tomorrow, the Hawks could be looking at another losing streak. Lute Olson's club is simply too talented, too deep and too experienced. The Jayhawks must maintain their poise and take advantage of playing in front of their rabid fans at Allen Fieldhouse.

Ex-Mariner All-Star pitcher signs contract with Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Right-hander James Baldwin agreed yesterday to a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals and was invited to spring training as a non-roster player.
Baldwin, who went 7-10 with 5.28 ERA in 23 starts with the Seattle Mariners last season, would get a $575,000 one-year contract if he's added to the major league roster and the chance to earn $675,000 more in performance bonuses.
His best major league season came in 2000 with the White Sox. He opened the season 7-0 and finished with a 14-7 record and a 4.65 ERA in 28 starts. He was the winning pitcher at that year's All-Star game.
Opposing drivers' records wanted for Gordon divorce
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Lawyers for Jef Gordon's wife have subpoenaed records from his competitors and NASCAR for use in their divorce case.
Geoff Smith, general manager of Roush Racing, said the team planned to file an order Friday to block Brooke Gordon's request in Wayne County Circuit Court in Michigan, where the company is headquartered.
Roush does not want to make public the individual contracts it has with its drivers and sponsors. Those deals are highly sensitive in NASCAR.
"Those are all the things that are the heart of our business," Smith said. When we give it to Brooke, we're goin to give it to Jeff. It's like having the Hendrick organization inside our team."

Aggie standout King reflects on records
By Dallas Shipp The Battalion via u-Wire Texas A&M University
Watkins knew the player he needed to help make the turnaround was Bernard King, one of the nation's top 50 recruits from the small town of Gibsland, La., which has a population of around 1,600.
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — When Texas A&M men's basketball head coach Melvin Watkins arrived in Aggieland in 1998, he knew he had a daunting task ahead of him — to revitalize the Aggie basketball program at a school where football is a religion.
"When we got here, we needed to upgrade our talent and that was our first challenge." Watkins said. "That's not always easy when you come into a program that's been losing, but [King] was one of those kids we were able to convince to come in."
King said he knew when he came that it was not going to be easy, but he wanted to be part of something special and be one of the key leaders who turned the program around at A&M.
"I heard A&M was a football school," King said. "But I wanted to come in and help coach Watkins improve this program. My goal was to come in here and be the start of that."
King's mother, Vernita King, thought coming to A&M would be challenging for Bernard because so much pressure would be on his shoulders to prove himself as a freshman, but she knew he was used to proving himself, on and off the court.
"Bernard was a scraggly little fella," she said. "When he played AAU [Amateur Athletic Union] basketball he was overlooked
because he was kind of little, but once he had his first chance to show what he could do, everyone was sold on him."
"He hit three 3-pointers in a row and we won the game. After that he never stopped playing," Vernita said.
As an eighth grader, King played AAU basketball with teammates who were juniors and seniors in high school. One day, one of the guards fouled out and the coach was forced to play King. As the game came to a close, King showed what he could do.
He has not stopped playing since, and his mother has never stopped watching him play.
After getting off work at 7 a.m., Vernita would make the five-hour drive from Gibsland to College Station, Texas, for a 7 p.m. game that same night and then turn around the next morning and head home for work the next night.
Throughout his career at A&M, King's mother, who often works nights, has been to nearly every home game.
King knew it would be an uphill climb to rebuild the program at A&M, he said it has been disappointing at times.
Vernita said there have been times when she told King that he had other choices, but he always chose to stay at A&M.
Even though the Aggies have struggled during his four years at A&M, King is approaching an impressive individual milestone. He needs just 28 points to become A&M's all-time leading scorer and 80 points to become the Big 12 all-time leader.
King said that while he is excited about breaking the record, he still just wants to win and go to the postseason.
Williams stands up for camping 'Hawks
12 13 14

The city of Lawrence loves Roy Williams, the media love Roy Williams, and after his impromptu speech last night in Allen Fieldhouse, students must love him, too.
Last night, as coach Williams was leaving for the evening, he addressed students camping for tomorrow's game against Arizona with words that were effective, to say the least.
Cliff Grassmick/The Daily Camera
In the past few home games, the first three rows of the student section behind the south goal have been reserved for athletes being recruited to the University. Students complained about the reserved seats, but Williams showed students he is on their side.
Coach Roy Williams argues a call during the second half of Wednesday's game.
"Those are all football recruits, and they're sitting there like bumps on a log," Williams said. "I told them it pissed me off. I've met them all and I told them 'Don't go big-time on me. If you're going to come to our Fieldhouse, then you have to show some enthusiasm.'"
Williams also added that he has talked to football coach Mark Mangino on the topic. Williams said Mangino was handling the situation accordingly.
while on his way to work in the mornings and to talk with students. He assured students that what they bring to the Fieldhouse atmosphere was appreciated, but wanted to help more.
Along with Athletics Director Al Bohl, coach Williams has been known by campers to bring food
long time for those seats," Williams said. "If you guys have any complaints on what we can do to make camping better for you, please let us know."
The speech was apparently moving as the crowd around coach
"I know you guys camp for a
williams remained motionless and silent while being addressed. Students said the behavior showed well-deserved respect.
"One thing he carries is respect," said Scott Miller, Derby sophomore. "When coach Williams is present, conversations stop and people pay attention."
Miller, along with hometown pal sophomore Adam White, have been camping for a few days for tomorrow's game. The two are an example of the dedication for which coach Williams thanked the students. Their group was bumped down on the camping list after one of its members missed a role call.
Erin Butsch, Olathe senior, said she appreciated that a person with as high a profile as Williams was in the students' corner.
"A couple of years ago, he made the comment that our students didn't show enough enthusiasm at the games," Butsch said. "It's good he's putting the pressure on other people, too."
Williams will now lead his No. 6 Jayhawks into battle against Arizona, the nation's top team. With a packed house tomorrow, one would have to believe that, once news spreads of his speech last night, every student at the game will be a little more thankful to call Roy Williams our basketball coach."

Cornhuskers have an international appeal
By Michael Bruntz Daily Nebraskan via U-wire University of Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. — After 20 hours in the air, cramped seats, and numerous connections, you step off the plane hoping the promised land or perhaps the Hanging Gardens of Babylon will greet you.
Instead, the only greenery in
sight are the rows of corn in every direction.
Welcome to Lincoln, Neb., it says.
Despite the lack of eye-pleasing surroundings, the Nebraska track and field program consistently secures Europe's top athletes.
Nebraska's roster reads like a roll call for European countries. Great Britain, Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Latvia all claim spots.
The reasons the Nebraska coaching staff convinces athletes to come half a world away are easy to find —NU has more selling points than a used car salesman and an even better reputation.
"It's a totally different world," national champion thrower and Britain native Carl Myerscough said.
Once the foreign athletes are at NU, the focus shifts from impressing them with facilities and records to making sure the transition from their home country is a smooth one.
Coach Gary Pepin said the 'Huskers' reputation for academic and athletic success is beginning to make itself known.
"We have athletes that have left that country, come here and done well academically and athletically," Pepin said.

Injuries damage team's consistency
By John Domoney
jdomoney@kansan.com
Kansan scripwriter
A 14-1 record and a No.1 ranking would have most college basketball coaches heaping praise on their teams but not Arizona coach Lute Olson.
No, the Wildcat coach is as conservative with his comments about his team as he is with his part in his trademark silver hair.
"We're turning the ball over too many times," Olson said. "We're not shooting the ball the way we need to shoot it. The pieces are there, we just need to get all of the pieces healthy and then do a better job in our half-court offense."
Not only does Arizona bring a nine-game winning streak into tomorrow's noon game at Allen Fieldhouse, the Wildcats also are traveling with a host of players with bad ankles that would make any team trainer put in extra hours.
So far this season, guards Hassan Adams, freshman, and Salim
Stoudamire, sophomore, along with senior forward Luke Walton have been nursing sore ankles. Walton, a preseason All-American candidate, has already watched four games from the bench this season because of a sore ankle including the Wildcats' only defeat of the season against Louisiana State on Dec. 21 in Baton Rouge, La.
Olson said the injuries that have plagued his young team have led to inconsistent performance such as Wednesday's night's 71-63 victory over Arizona State in Tucson, Ariz., where the Wildcats nearly wasted a 26-point second-half lead.
"Once we get everybody healthy, we may be able to look at ourselves as being a more consistent team." Olson said. "At this point I would say that there are a number of teams that are playing better basketball than we are."
One of those teams that Olson pointed to is Kansas. Despite coming off a 60-59 defeat to Colorado on Wednesday night, No. 6 Kansas is the type of challenge that Olson is looking to as a chance for his team to prove themselves in a hostile environment.
"Playing at Kansas, we know how tough that's going to be, but I think that will be a good measuring stick for us in terms of how we're playing and what we need to do better to continue building for the end of the season," Olson said.
On paper, Arizona appears to hold the advantage over Kansas with the 10-deep rotation of the Wildcats. Senior guard Jason Gardner leads a deep and talented backcourt along with Stoudamire and Adams.
The backcourt is complemented by an athletic frontcourt led by Walton, whom many basketball pundits label as the best passing big man in the country after averaging 4.5 assists per game.
Even against common opponents this season, Arizona holds the edge after the Wildcats defeated Oregon 81-72 on Jan. 2 in Eugene, Ore. Kansas lost to the Ducks 84-78 on Dec. 7 in Portland, Ore.
Both Kansas and Arizona have defeated UCLA, but the Wildcats' margin of victory was 35 over the Bruins as compared to the 17 points that Kansas defeated the

Despite the numbers, Olson's 29 years as a collegiate coach has taught him that anything can happen in college basketball as he prepares for his first visit to Allen Fieldhouse.
"With Kansas on Saturday, we are going into a very tough place to play." Olson said. "They are a very talented basketball team, and we are going to have our hands full. We are going to see how well our players respond to that kind of pressure."

If comparative scores mean anything, then the Kansas women's basketball team should like its chances when it heads to College Station to take on Texas A&M at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
Kansas raced out to a 10-2 lead against No. 22 Oklahoma Wednesday night and led most of the first half. The Sooners never surrendered the lead in the second half but let the Jayhawks
hang around before pulling out a 61-49 victory.
Texas A&M didn't fare so well against Oklahoma when they visited the Sooners Jan. 18.
The Aggies shot 25 percent from the field in route to a 77-39 defeat.
Texas A&M followed that with a 29 percent shooting night in a 66-49 defeat to Baylor on Wednesday.
"We just didn't hit our shots," Texas A&M coach Peggie Gillom said after the Oklahoma game. "We had open
looks, but the shooting percentage speaks for itself. It was a dismal shooting night for us and then we didn't get back in transition."
Perhaps a bigger problem for theAggies has been that their highly touted full-court pressure defense has failed to slow opponents down lately. In three straight defeats, Texas A&M has given up 72 points per game while only scoring 45 in its own right.
Kansas is focusing on the rigors of an up-tempo game.
"We've been working on almost every single practice trying to get back and match up quickly," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "If they get up and down the floor we have to be able to find players and defend."
One player the Jayhawks will have to find defensively is Tocara Williams. The Aggies' junior guard is averaging 13.2 points a game and has led the team in scoring the last two games.

New baseball coach starts team's season with a warm aloha
By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The high temperature in Hilo Hawaii, today is 81 degrees. The high in Lawrence today is 27 degrees. Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price knew what he was doing when he scheduled the Jayhawks' first six games in Hawaii.
While many other college baseball teams will be stuck in the gym this weekend, Kansas will be starting its season this early for the first time in school history. It will not be a vacation for the Jayhawks though, as they will play six games in three days against the University of Hawaii-Hilo.
The Vulcans have already began their season and dropped their first six games, all to nationally-ranked Arizona State.
UHH is led by infielder Tom Henderson, who has started the season with a .462 batting average, after starting four of the six games. The only player that UHH has started all six games is outfielder Sean Tamur.
"We know UHH has struggled lately," Price said. "We still want to get better every time we take the field this weekend, and find what we need to work on for the rest of the season."
The Jayhawks will try to better their 6-18 road record from last year with a solid start in Hawaii. Kansas has won its last six season-opening games.
Senior left-hander Pat Holmes will get the start on the mound for
the first game for Kansas. Last season Holmes recorded a 4.15 earned run average in only four appearances.
Following Holmes this weekend on the mound, junior-college transfer Ryan Knippschild, junior Josh Duran, junior Chris Smart and senior Kevin Wheeler will all see time pitching against the Vulcans.
"All of our pitchers will be on an 80-pitch limit," Price said. "The performance of our pitching will be key to succeed this weekend."
The Jayhawks will be out of the services of pitcher Chris Jones, who posted a 4-1 record during the 2002 season. Jones is expected to return to the Kansas lineup in February after rehabilitating from his late summer arm surgery.
Besides winning, Price wants to use this early season trip as a learning experience for everyone in the Kansas baseball program and take advantage of the Hawaiian weather.
"We want a warmer climate," Price said. "We will take this opportunity to get a jump on a lot of the teams in the Midwest who will be practicing inside this weekend. We also need to establish a level defensively we can play at. Last season we finished ninth in the conference."
If the Jayhawks can do everything Price needs and wants them to do, maybe they can enjoy a little bit of the sun in Hawaii.

Offseason workouts kick in
By Kevin Flaharty

Kansan staff worker
Mark Smith, Kansas strength and conditioning coach, said that offseason conditioning was important for individual teams' efforts during the season.
"Athletes need to be strong and flexible," Smith said. "It gives them less chance of injury and ensures that they will be able to compete."
As some Kansas athletic teams plunge into the bulk of their seasons, others begin to prepare for next year.
The football team arrived in Lawrence on Jan. 15 and began exercising soon after
Players condition at 6:15 a.m. four days a week and also must lift during one of the shifts lasting from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Players conduct Tower-body lifting on Mondays and Thursdays and participate in upper-body lifting on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Smith said that while lifting can complement athletic ability, weight training alone cannot make an athlete.
You still have to recruit top caliber athletes and then coach them to a good, conditioned form." Smith said. "It all starts
"We teach them to work hard, give 100 percent all of the time. It's like anything in life you have to instill those habits, you need to work hard and have discipline."

Bill Whitemore, junior quarterback, said the players also trained outside of the lifting and conditioning program.
with the horses."
"We started playing seven on-seven and passing in the evening." Whittemore said. "We've really started to have a good showing."
Seven-on-seven is a passing drill that puts seven defenders against seven offensive players. The players left out are on the line. It is designed to help a quarterback and receivers execute plays without having to worry about constant pressure from blinding defenders.
While some places in the o
lesson work out to aid strength
and agility, others attempt to
strengthen bodies weakened from injuries.
Bill Whittemore tore the medial collateral ligament in his knee in a game against Missouri. After taking a few weeks to rest, he began a rehabilitation program to gain strength and repair his injured knee. Now, going into spring workouts, Whittemore said his knee was fine and his spand and quickness were back to normal.
While some strength and conditioning coaches are made famous by their techniques and gruelling workout regiments, Smith said the attitude at Kansas was most important for success.
Smith said some players had to gain or lose weight before the coming season.
"We recommend that they eat all three meals a day," Smith said. "But if they really need to lose weight, we have a nutritionist work with each group."
"We teach them to work hard, give 100 percent all of the time," Smith said. "It's like anything to life, you have to instill those habits, you need to work hard and have discipline."

The two schools — think basketball institutes in this sense match-up like mirror images of each other.
Southeast Regional when the Wildcats won it all.
Both are rich in tradition — Kansas has won 1,784 games; Arizona has 1,424 victories.
The difference is that Arizona has proven it belongs among the top teams.
The two have some of the most incredible players in the collegiate game; before the season's done, Arizona's Jason Gardner and Luke Walton, along with Hinrich and Collison, could very well fill out four of the five spots on the All-American team. That's not even mentioning the talent of the Wildcats' Hassan Adams, Rick Anderson and Salim Stoudamire; or Jayhawks Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien.
Each has one of the game's best coaches — Kansas' Williams recently recorded his 400th victories, Arizona's Lute Olson is nearing his 500th at Arizona and 700th overall.
But as Williams has said all season; one game won't make or break us.
Kansas hasn't — at least not vet.
Roy's right, but with a team that has struggled to find itself like this squad has, one game — a win or even a solid setback — could be the tone setter for the rest of this season. Let alone another showdown on Monday against fourth-ranked Texas.
If Kansas doesn't show up and play solidly on Saturday, there may not be much left to prove.

Saturday show draws sell-out

Tech N9ne fans wait outside The Granada to enter the Tech N9ne show. The Granada sold out the remaining 720 tickets Saturday morning before the show.
'Half-angel, half-demon' rapper returns to The Granada to promote new album
By Lauren Bristow
He's a player and he's a slacker. Well, that's what his lyrics say.
But Tech N9ne described himself differently Saturday night after appearing onstage wearing a black bishop's robe with a white cross painted across his face.
"I'm half-angel, half-demon," he said. "My heart is good, but my mind is bad."
Although he said demons surrounded him while he performed, the robe and cross kept him safe.
Even demons respect Jesus Christ, he said.
Saturday's sold-out show at The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., could be called a homecoming for Tech N9ne, who is promoting his album, Absolute Power. In the early '90s, he was part of the group Nutt Howze that frequently performed there.
"The Granada is kind of the birthplace of Tech N9ne," he said. "They let us play here a lot when we were just getting started."
Two hours before show time, more than 75 fans waited outside hoping to get tickets to the sold-out show. Many said they had seen last month's show at the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, Mo. The 720 available tickets sold out about five hours before show time, said James Radina, owner of The Granada.
"The last time they played in Lawrence, they played to about 300," Radina said. "So to sell out ahead of time, it's very good."
Tech N9ne, who got his start in Kansas City, Mo., credits his large fan following to his time in the business and his lyrics about true-to-life experiences. People relate to songs like "Suicide Letter" because they've been there, he said.
Matt Conley, Topeka freshman, had never seen Tech N9ne in concert before but had heard his music through friends. Before the concert he wasn't sure what to expect, but after the show he said that he would definitely see Tech N9ne again.
"I'm a slacker. He's a slacker." Conley said referring to Tech N9ne's song, "Slacker." "Since we're both slackers, we might as well hang out together."
Many fans said they or their friends had hung out
with Tech N9ne.
Lauren Odell, Kearney, Mo., sophomore, first saw Tech N9ne last summer when he performed at a friend's house party in Lawson, Mo. Odell introduced Tech N9ne's music to her friends including Tess Cooney, Cincinnati freshman.
"I've heard about him all year from her, so we had to come see him," Cooney said.
The Granada featured Tech N9ne's signature drink, Caribou Lou, as the special. He said he and a friend came up with the recipe. The drink is made with Malibu rum, Bacardi 151 and pineapple juice.
"We named it after a mean pirate on Woody Woodpecker," Tech N9ne said. "The drink is mean. It will sneak up on you."

Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost, initiated much of the planning for the program. She said the goals of the program were freshmen retention, classroom success and university orien-
The housing department is developing Thematic Learning Communities in four residence halls, including McCollum, Oliver, Ellsworth and Hashinger halls.
Students with a specific academic interest can live together on the same floor and attend two core classes within the interest and a seminar class intended to help freshmen learn more about the University of Kangas. About 200 students will be able to participate in the program's first year.
In addition to a resident assistant, a peer educator will live on the floor. and a faculty leader will be assigned to help the participants succeed in the program.
The program has been in the planning stages for about five years under a committee of administrators and staff members, McCluskey-Fawcett said. A new
committee that will include students picked by the department will now put all the planning into action.
Dan Bernstein, director of the Center for Teaching Excellence and committee member, has had experience with similar programs at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., and University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. Bernstein said there was evidence that these programs helped freshmen make the transition from high school to college.
Planning committees said they didn't foresee a problem with the amount of time the residents will spend together.
"People are very good at finding spare time to move away from each other."
Bernstein said.
McCluskey-Fawcett said no additional housing costs were planned.
The program will be paid for by department funds that are being reallocated.
If the program is successful, the committee would like to see the program grow to include about one-fourth of incoming freshmen, or about 1,000 students. Additional funding would then be needed, McCluskey-Fawcett said.
Freshmen will be receiving information about the program with their housing contracts next month.

Ellsworth to expand program
By Jessica Palmenio jpalmenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Experiencing Excellence in Ellsworth, or 3E, program that was in place before the hall closed for renovations will be expanded throughout the hall.
Physical appearance is not the only thing that will be changing at Ellsworth Hall.
If participants do not follow a signed agreement, they will be evaluated by a community standards board, said Diana Robertson, director of residence life. The process will be similar to Lewis Hall's community service agreement. If a student violates the
Previously the program was limited to one floor. Now, all of Ellsworth's 580 residents will be involved.
On the agreement form, students will indicate interest within eight groups of study. The groups include journalism, engineering, education, health science, business, prelaw, social sciences and undecided.
agreement, he or she would not be able to return to the hall in the future, she said.
Incoming freshman will receive information about the program in late February.
Students will attend meetings for their groups. During meetings they will work to improve job skills and career planning.
If a student's interests change throughout the year, the student can begin to attend meetings for another interest group.
Returning students also have a chance to help the program.
In addition to residence assistants, each floor will also include a
peer educator who is at least a sophomore to help the residents.
"We have been cranking up recruitment to get some of our upperclassmen involved in our programs," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
The housing department is informing current on-campus residents of the peer educator program through information sessions and floor meetings.
The hall will be hiring 11 peer educators, one for each of the floors. These residents will receive free room and board. Robertson said she has had several students call about becoming peer educators.
The returning upperclassmen will be expected to attend training sessions, maintain bulletin boards and help students achieve career and academic goals.
"People are very good at finding spare time to move away from each other."

become involved in the program, they will first need to return their intent-to-return card between Jan. 27 and Feb. 7 and fill out a peer educator application.
The selection process will include personal interviews as well as the application.
The housing department expects to have these positions filled by April, Robertson said.

Father found innocent in fatal drunk-driving wreck
A Douglas County jury deliberated for about nine hours before finding Lawrence Rieke innocent Friday of providing liquor to teenagers Sept. 16, 2000.
Later that night, one of the teenagers killed a 39-year-old Lawrence woman while driving drunk.
Prosecution witnesses said Rieke, 54, of Merriam, provided alcohol for his stepson, Sean Scott, then 16, and three other teenagers while at The Wheel Pizza Company, 507 W. 14th St.
Later, Scott was driving home when he lost control of his car, killing Felicia Bland of Lawrence. Scott's car crossed the median and struck Bland's car on Kansas Highway 10.
The Bland family has filed a $75,000 civil lawsuit against Rieke; Scott; Scott's mother, Dana Rieke; the University of Kansas; and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

STATE
After two big losses, GOP unifies at gathering
TOPEKA—Hundreds of Republi-icans gathered from across Kansas to celebrate their party, but they also tended to the sting from the state GOP's only two high-profile election defeats.
Unity was the theme in speech after speech from party leaders during the party's annual convention, and its newly elected chairman preached solidarity. Speakers included North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole and her husband, former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole.
Republicans won four statewide races and three U.S. House contests last year. But Democrat Kathleen Sebelius won the governor's race, and Rep. Dennis Moore won narrowly in the 3rd Congressional District — both with support from GOP moderates.
GOP leaders said they want the infighting between conservatives and moderates to stop after the primary in 2004, so that Republicans, who outnumber Democrats by more than
301,000 among registered voters, don't have any high-profile losses
"We've learned from these last elections that we can't continue to shoot ourselves," said Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh. We've all got to remain on the same side and quit giving the Democrats opportunities."
WORLD Powell: Weapons inspectors might fail in Iraqi mission
DAVOS, Switzerland — Secretary of State Colin Powell, citing Iraq's lack of cooperation with U.N. inspectors, said Sunday he had lost faith in the inspectors' ability to conduct a definitive search for banned weapons programs
A U.S.-led war to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is not imminent, Powell told business and political leaders, and he did not explicitly call for the inspections to end.
President Bush and heads of state were awaiting Monday's report by chief weapons inspector Hans Blix to the U.N. Security Council. The summary of their findings is intended to help determine whether Iraq has programs for chemical, biological or nuclear arms.
Blix wrote a report he will deliver at Monday's council meeting.

Singer gives $15,000 for hometown organ
The Associated Press
Etheridge, who grew up in Leavenworth, donated the $15,000 needed to buy the ARTIZAN band organ the town had its eye on for a long time.
LEAVENWORTH — The town of Leavenworth can now buy a $15,000 band organ, thanks to rocker Melissa Etheridge.
Jerry Reinhardt, a carousel afficionado
who's worked with the Leavenworth Historical Museum Association for years, was ecstatic last week when the check for the band organ arrived.
He said people restoring a small 1913 carousel that will be on display during the Taste of Leavenworth next month had been wanting a band organ to go with the carousel.
"But we also knew we did not have enough money to buy one," he said.
The one they wanted was in Kansas City. They expected to have to scrounge for money for years, until a group member suggested contacting Etheridge.
When Reinhardt wrote the singersongwriter, he sent a photo of the band organ and asked if Etheridge would sponsor part or all of its cost. When he learned she would pay for all of it, he offered to engrave a brass plate, as she wished, for the band organ.

Spencer Art Museum hosts reception to celebrate past
By Lauren Bristow
Ibristow@kansan.com
Kansan Staff writer
About 100 people filled the 11 galleries at the Spencer Museum of Art on Saturday and sang "Happy Birthday" to celebrate its 25 years at the University of Kansas.
During a public reception, museum members, staff, KU students and other visitors recalled the museum's past.
Built in 1977 with a $4.6 million grant from Helen Foresman Spencer, the museum opened Jan. 17, 1978. Its collection
included more than 7,000 works of art that were donated in 1917.
"They say on opening day that Mrs. Spencer greeted guests saying, 'Welcome to the Spencer Museum of Art. Everything you like is my doing. Everything you don't like is the staff,'" said Andrea Norris, museum director.
After remembering the past, Norris, who has been the director since 1988, turned to the future.
"I've been asked what we hope for in the next 25 years," Norris said. "We'd like to expand the building. There is an enormous deficiency in the amount of display space."
KU First is raising funds to double the museum's capacity. The museum collection now
includes nearly 22,000 pieces. Because of space, about 17,000 works are on display in its seven permanent galleries.
"It was interesting to hear that the Spencer is one of the most elaborate university art museums throughout the country," said Jill Tichenor, Lawrence senior.
The reception featured music from The CottonWood Winds, who played at the museum's opening, and Lash Canino, a Lawrence band.
Special guests included the consul general and senior consul of Japan.
The Japanese Consul sponsored the exhibition, Hidden Japan, at the museum.

Barrier to quiet GSP air conditioner
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Residents of Oread neighborhood can enjoy the outdoors this summer without the disturbance caused by the air conditioner at GSP Hall.
After about a two-year wait, University of Kansas officials will install a noise barrier to block the high-pitched whine of the "chiller" that cools the residence hall. The noise barrier will cost about $40,000 and will be paid for by the Department of Student Housing. Construction should begin in mid-February or early March, said Jim Modig, director of Design and Construction Management.
"The neighborhood was very patient as we moved through this process, and that's one thing that
is appreciated from our side," Modig said. "We all wished it would have happened a little quicker, but I think we're headed toward an end result everyone can be happy with."
The air conditioner was a new model installed two years ago for its efficiency, environmental friendliness and low maintenance.
Neighbors discovered that, for all its enhanced performance, the new unit was not perfect. Oread Neighborhood Association President Candie Davis, whose house is directly across the street from the unit at 10th and Louisiana streets, said she remembered the first day the air conditioner was turned on. Davis said she thought the sound was the early storm warning system that sounds on Mondays at noon during the spring.
Davis said she started making calls a couple weeks after the unit was first turned on. She said she could hear the noise from her bedroom, and it prevented her from entertaining outdoors.
"I thought, 'When is it going to go off?'" Davis said. "But it never did."
"I really hope KU is making an effort to be a better neighbor with the surrounding neighborhoods and is willing to be more sensitive to the needs of neighbors, because we really need to have a good working relationship," Davis said.
Design and Construction Management was responsible for finding a solution to the problem.
Modig said he contacted the department of architectural engineering at the University because no one in his office specialized in this area. The problem became a
project for two architectural engineering classes.
The students took sound readings for loudness and pitch and found the pitch was as much a problem as the noise level.
"It's a sound no one really likes, whether it's soft or loud," he said.
Modig compared the pitch problem to the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard.
The noise barrier will be a three-sided concrete wall with a perforated metal panel on the inside to allow for reduction in both pitch and loudness.
Students simulated the effects of the noise barrier and found that this construction would reduce the noise to be similar to normal, everyday sounds of a city.

Local humanist group meets national leader
By Cal Creek
ccreek@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Saturday afternoon, eight atheist students met at Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., to have lunch with a predominant speaker in the humanist movement, which questions the existence of God.
Students from the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics and Jo Ann Mooney, president of Heartland Humanists, an adult group from Kansas City, Mo., had lunch with Ed Buckner, executive director of the Council for Secular Humanism. Buckner's group is based in Amherst, N.Y.
Stephanie Kirmer, Topeka freshman and Soma president, organized the lunch with Buckner. She said she thought it was important for local free-thought organizations to realize that there was a national free-thought movement.
"This lunch is an opportunity for a more informal dialogue between him and the atheist and agnostic students here at KU," Kirmer said.
Buckner was in the area to speak at Kansas State University on Friday night and at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Kansas City, Mo. He gave a public address Saturday and spoke to the Heartland Humanists last night.
A former professor of educational research and statistics. Buckner travels the country speaking on topics like "This is a Free Country, Not a Christian Nation," "The Rights and Reputations of Nonathists" and "What Do Secular Humanists Believe?"
Raised as a Catholic, Kirmer converted to atheism four years ago. Atheism, a division of humanism, denies the existence of God.
She said humanists were not dedicated to serving a higher being; they focused on humans.
"A person does not believe in a supernatural explanation of the earth, but they still have a moral obligation to other human beings," Kirmer said.
At the lunch, students discussed several topics with Buckner such as local freethought groups increasing activity in the community, current events and the humanist movement as a whole. Buckner emphasized the importance of raising awareness about atheism.
The students appreciated the support that experts provided, said Alana McAllister, Soma member and Andover senior.
"They're better at explaining the tenets of what we think and why we think it than a student," she said.
McAllister said atheism carried a stigma that wasn't true.
"A lot of times people think atheism equates with Satanism," McAllister said. "They think because you don't have religion, you don't have morals."

'Lord of the Rings' parallels U.S. politics, media
GUEST COMMENTARY
Peter Jackson's rousing adaptation of The Lord of the Rings,
L.P. R. Tolkien's classic fantasy
Stephen Shupe opinion@kansan.com
Peter Jackson's rising adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy that pits pure good against pure evil, has reverberated considerably in the post-Sept. 11 climate. The film versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers have inspired metaphoric links between Tolkien's themes and the war on terror. Reality, though, is rarely as black and white as fiction presents it. Some, including one of the film's stars, Viggo Mortensen, have suggested an alternative interpretation of the films, one that merits closer examination.
Mortensen has suggested there's a counterpart in the film for President George W. Bush. Not Gandalf, the gallant wizard who fights to protect the peoples of Middle Earth, but Saruman, the black magic wizard who breeds a monstrous army to destroy the race of men.
Saruman is depicted as having a mind of metal, which in Tolkien represents the modern age of industrialism, and here we can see more similarities to President Bush, whose industry of choice is a three-letter word that begins with "o" and ends with "l." The president may speak of romantic notions like freedom and patriotism, but his loyalties lie with private corporations more than they do with private citizens. These corporations, which would benefit greatly
An early scene in The Two Towers shows Saruman spreading lies and hate speech across the countryside, coaxing barbarians into battle. Throughout his campaign for a familial rematch with
Saddam Hussein, President Bush has employed similar tactics. For example, the president often speaks of the "world's opinion" as if it starts in Seattle and ends in Miami, with no overseas influence whatsoever.
If President Bush is Saruman, Tom Brokaw is Wormtongue, the ghoulish man-puppet Saruman uses to spread his deceit. Let's speak openly about this: The liberal media are a myth. Open The New York Times or flip on CNN and you'll be bombarded with a ceaseless
from a siphoning off of the Middle East's oil supply, will no longer have to pay tax dividends if and when the conservative Congress passes the president's economic policy plan, while John Q. Public continues to struggle without the aid of such special treatment.
There is also a relation that can be drawn between Saruman's symbol a painted white hand signifying destruction and what has happened to the symbol of the American flag under the "compassionate conservatism" of the Bush administration. Once the emblem of seemingly endless possibilities, the significance of our national banner has been reduced to an abstraction, a monomaniacal symbol of patriotism. Its very presence seems confrontational and exclusionary, the sounding board of an impenetrable society.
countdown to an American war with Iraq.
Remember that the media are also privately owned and share the same loyalties as the president's. The forces at work at the top of this still-great country of ours learned long ago about the importance of manipulating the public's opinion, especially in light of the radical social upheaval of the '60s.
But what can we do about it? We could start by rejecting at least some of the colors the media have provided for us to paint the world with, even at the level of this University.
The Kansan could depict life at KU as populated by more than just jocks, Greeks and so-called hippies. We could write to our state leaders and representatives, who seem very unwilling to challenge the president in any meaningful way. In The Lord of the Rings, the smallest person, Frodo, makes the biggest difference. It's not too late for us to follow his example.
Shupe is an Augusta graduate student in journalism.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Poor women suffer if abortion made illegal
I find it ironic that the three opinions on abortion printed in *The University Daily Kansan* on Friday were written by men. Fortunately, one of them understood what the debate is about. John Ralston was right to focus on the right of women to self-determination and to make choices about our own bodies. Too often in our sound-bite culture, the abortion debate is misframed by the media and even by pro-choice and anti-choice groups. Pro-choicers are not arguing about the state of the fetus or embryo. Pro-choice people are arguing that women have the right to decide if something will or will not grow inside their bodies. Many doctors and biologists consider the fetus/embryo and the woman to be one organism, not two. A look at the biology of reproduction and pregnancy can help elucidate this. The fetus/embryo cannot survive without the body of a woman, excepting modern medicine's high-tech contraptions.
Emily Elmore and Neil Miulka for The University Daily Kansas
If we examine not only the modern history of abortion, but also the history of humanity, we are given a more complete framework from which to work. The Catholic Church did not even outlaw abortion until 1869; that means that for almost two thousand years previous, abortion was not opposed by Christian religions. When abortion is illegal, women die and poor women die at a disproportionate rate. Wealthy women will always have access to abortion, regardless of the law. Another important point is that our religious conservative president has decided that his beliefs about abortion should influence the reproductive decisions of women in Third World nations, cutting off all U.S. aid to international programs that provide all family planning services. Once again, poor women are suffering, this time the global poor.
As for abortion throughout human history, women have been terminating pregnancies longer than we have been classified as human, longer than Christianity has even existed. Many herbs and plants can be used as abortifacients, whether they are eaten, taken as tea or used vaginally. There is also a growing body of evidence that non-human primates, including our closest relatives,
chimpanzees and bonobos, use herbs to terminate pregnancies. Clearly, elective termination of pregnancy has been a reproductive strategy of women throughout our evolutionary past.
No one knows when life, full human life, begins. Less than 50% of all conceptions lead to live births, not counting abortions. Are all of these lost zygotes/fetuses/embryos/babies to be mourned or valued the same way as an adult, or adolescent, woman? Misogynistic religious beliefs would lead us to believe this. However, the right of women to decide what they will do with their own bodies is paramount. Not all Americans, or human beings, are conservative Christians and it is absurd to assert that they should dictate women's reproductive decisions.
Beth Peterson, Kansas City, Mo., senior
Her body, her choice?
I was just wondering if Jon Ralston supports a woman's right to smoke crack? After all, it's her body.
First "leveling the playing field" has never meant giving one group an advantage over another, which is exactly what the racist admissions policies at our nation's universities do. To judge a person and take action based upon the color of that person's skin is the antithesis of all that the original civil rights movement worked toward. It should be offensive to all thinking human beings.
Affirmative action not logical
I read your guest commentary on affirmative action in University admissions ("Affirmative action still needed at colleges," Kansan, Jan. 23).
John Stowelf, Omaha, Neb.m senior
Eliminating racist programs like those at the University of Michigan allow all people to compete fairly and equally. That is the goal of a society that values equality. Programs like Michigan's do nothing but replace one injustice with another.
In the case of Michigan it is qualified white students who are shut out solely based on their race. Rather than curtail racism
these policies foster and encourage it. The only difference is the targets of this racism are white.
Tom Servo
Performance outweighs color
I raised them to be color-blind. that is, everyone is equal, no matter what "color" their skin is. Now they wonder why a person born with a different color skin should get "extra points" just for being black or brown? How is that equal? Once you get out of high school and into the "real world," you are judged on your merits. How is being "black" or "white," if the case were reversed, more important than getting a perfect score on the SAT?
The elimination of discrimination in all its forms is the only acceptable goal in a free and equal society. To change the group that is the target of the discrimination and call that justice is immoral and indefensible. Remember the words of Martin Luther King Jr., who dreamed that "...my four children will be judged by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin." This is what we must work toward and anything to the contrary must be rejected.
Sorry to disagree with you Matt, but you couldn't be more wrong about affirmative action ("Affirmative action still needed at colleges," Kansan, Jan. 23). I am a parent of a KU student and have two others in high school, one of whom is a senior applying for various scholarships.
Do you have any idea how many scholarships my son could be eligible for but can not apply because he isn't African-American? If we believe that everyone is equal then how can we be shut out of a scholarship opportunity solely based on OUR skin color? Do you see any scholarships out there that stipulate that only Caucasians can apply? Bush is right and so is Ward Connerly. It's time for affirmative action to end so people can truly be judged on their merits and nothing else.
Dr. King wanted equality for everyone ... not reverse discrimination.
Denise Miller
Oil column contadicts itself
One of the first rules I give my writing students is to support and not contradict their thesis. If they begin by stating that rocks are hard and water is wet, they shouldn't confuse their reader by mentioning that the tiny rocks in sand seem soft or that frozen water is hard. I thought of this rule after reading "War for oil argument not grounded in reality," by Nathan Clark (Kansan, Jan. 21).
Clark begins by ridiculing those who claim that oil concerns are an argument in the U.S. involvement against Iraq, yet ends by stating that oil is indeed a factor.
Another lesson I try to impress upon my students is to research topics before writing. To say that oil plays no role in U.S. involvement is absurd, and I encourage Clark to consider what prompted the decision to liberate Kuwait in 1990-91.
Clark contends that the likely use of U.S. military power against Iraq is based chiefly on security concerns. How then does he explain the U.S. reluctance to confront with force the more immediate threat of a WMD-endowed North Korea?
Clark posits that oil revenues fund terrorist activities, and therefore, to defeat terrorism, the United States should consider removing the leadership in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Huuhhh? Even the wizards at the CIA have been unable to provide a credible nexus between Saddam and the chief bogeymen of Al Qaeda.
The most rabid hawk within the Bush administration has been reluctant to propose removing the King Fahd family from the Saudi gas station. Like the misguided war on drugs (which attempts to limit supply) has Clark ever considered reducing America's dependency upon oil?
From my perspective, the Monica White cartoon on Thursday's editorial page displays a woeful lack of historical perspective and a very tenuous grasp of the facts of the Michigan case. Is Monica an intern for John Ashcroft?

KU student leaders offended by Lott's remarks

Controversial comments made by then-Senate majority leader Trent Lott that raised questions of racism in Washington, D.C., have troubled some University of Kansas students.
rights issues.
At former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party in early December, Lott said to guests that the country would have been better off if Thurmond would have been elected president in 1948 Thurmond ran as an independent on a primarily segregationist platform. The comments brought media attention to Lott's history on civil
For Mark Dupree, Black Student Union president, Lott's comments have underscored what he sees as a soft Republican policy on civil rights issues

Lott
"I think civil rights in general are taken for granted," said Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., junior. "It's not until things like this pop up that they do something about it."
On campus, much like media throughout the country, Lott's comments have evoked various
levels of criticism.
While Dupree sees Lott's comments as a tell-tale sign of a weak Republican stance on civil rights, Erin Blocher, College Republicans president, said she did not think Lott's comments were representative of Republicans as a whole.
"When I heard his comments, I was pretty mortified," said Blocher, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior. "I don't think it's something our party stands for. I really hope people don't associate what Sen. Lott says with my party."
Blocher said Lott's comments embarrassed her.
Loren Malone, Senatobia, Miss., senior, felt the same way.
Lott has represented Mississippi, Malone's home state, for his entire 30-year congressional career.
"I think the perception is that there are a lot of racists in Mississippi," said Malone, student body vice-president. "When you have somebody in a position of power and he says something hurtful, it reinforces the stereotypes."
Malone said she thought the people of Mississippi should decide whether Lott should continue as a senator after the hurtful nature of his comments.
Dupree said that Lott's "despicable" comments should have ended his national political career. Lott voluntarily resigned his position as a senate majority leader.
"When I heard his comments, I was pretty mortified. I don't think it's something our party stands for. I really hope people don't associate what Sen. Lott says with my party."
Erin Blocher Colorado Springs, Colo., senior
"To whom much is given, much is required," Dupree said. "If you make a comment like this in a position like that, you should resign from the Senate."
Blocher said the Republican Party did the best it could given the circumstances.
"I think that taking swift action was a good choice," Blocher said.
Despite the negative sentiment Lott's comments have drawn to the Republican Party, Blocher said she hoped that replacing Lott with Tennessee Sen. Bill Frist, the Senate's only physician, would help improve the party's perception among students.
"Sen. Frist seems like a person of high integrity and character, and the buzz is he's going to be able to push some important issues," Blocher said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 27)
The more you learn, the more you realize you don't know. Don't be ashamed; it's just a phase of the journey toward wisdom. You're getting there.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Taurus (April20-May20). Today is a 5.
If you can't get a raise, maybe you can improve your benefits. It's worth a try, and it's worth making a few phone calls. You're very persuasive now.
Transformation is the name of the game this year. Keep believing that great things can happen, and don't worry about how. You can participate in solving a problem with global consequences, but not by yourself. It's a team effort.
Gemini(May21-June21). Today is a9.
How can a charming conversationalist like yourself become awkward and tongue-tied? Don't sweat it. Let the others do the talking, and they'll think you're brilliant.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 10.
You're enormously creative now. You have to be, or you'd be totally inundated. Learn to delegate, and you'll be headed for your next million.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
It may seem as if you never have enough time anymore. Loved ones understand, so keep at a tough job till you get it done.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
Be careful - your idealism is about to carry you away. New changes seem perfect, but are they practical? Keep a lid on expenditures.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5. Look for ways to increase your income without increasing your output. Amazingly, that becomes possible over the next few days.
You can learn whatever you don't know. You may not know it all, but knowing you,you know more than they think you do.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 9.
Your ability to communicate is still lagging behind the awesome insights you're receiving. This is OK - you'll be called to teach soon enough. Take notes if you must.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19). Today is a 5.
Your mind may be racing a mile a minute. Don't ask your body to keep up. Hide away in a private place for some serious contemplation. You may discover that you want to change direction.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is an 8.
You're an excellent team player, and with good reason. You get much farther, faster, that way. Call a meeting and outline new plans.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
Some of the orders you receive may not make much sense. But they do make sense, from a bigger perspective. Trust an honest, wise leader, and you'll get to the right place.

Students awarded to aid research
By Amy Potter
apotter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
NS
Dan Nelson/Kansan
The KU Honors Program announced 19 Undergraduate Research Award winners for the Spring of 2003.
Jesse Gruber, Lawrence sophomore, takes a break between classes in the Kansas Union. Jesse is one of 19 KU students who won undergraduate research awards. His paper will discuss modern sexual morality.
Awards were given in the amounts of $250 or $500, based on the quality of the student's proposal, said Barbara Schowen, director of the Honors Program. Funding for the award came from the Center for Research, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the provost for a combined total of $70,000.
Schowen said the award gave students a chance to gain more knowledge within their majors.
"I firmly believe that your college education is incomplete without doing something in your discipline," she said. "You have to go beyond sitting in the classroom."
Schowen said the awards gave all undergraduate students a chance to do research in their fields of study.
"People still think of research as done by people in lab coats,"
she said. "There's wonderful research in history, philosophy, business and political science."
Megan Beard, Olathe senior, wrote a proposal to study the depiction of women in silent film, burlesque and cabaret culture.
With her $500 award, Beard will travel this semester to Los Angeles where she will search the archives in the Library Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences. She will also visit a New York museum that houses a large archive of burlesque and cabaret images and costumes.
Beard will incorporate her skills as an art major to show the results of her research.
"Rather than writing a thesis, I'm going to be displaying my artwork," Beard said. "Just the way I'm approaching it, it's from an art standpoint rather than a traditional one."
Tanya Hartman, assistant professor of art, sponsored Beard's project. Hartman said she thought Beard would win the award because of the nature of her project.
"She has a deep empathy for the
role of women historically and she incorporates that into her work," she said. "I thought that made her an interesting choice for funding."
Jesse Gruber. Lawrence sophomore, received $250 to aid his research on modern sexual morality. He will explore issues in human sexuality and study arguments on the topic of what is considered acceptable and unacceptable.
"It involves pretty much writing an essay about sexual morality from a secular standpoint," Gruber said. "I'm arguing in the context of social contract theory."
Many of the award winners will present their research at the Undergraduate Research Symposium March 8 in the Kansas Union.

More than 80 pieces of Polaroid artwork are on display at the Spencer Museum of Art. The show, "Innovation/Imagination: Fifty Years of Polaroid," showscases the Polaroids compiled by numerous artists.
"I didn't realize they could be so big or look so good." Jensen, Salina senior, said. "I especially like the composite pictures. They seem difficult to put together."
Kyle Jensen paused in front of a colorful grouping of Polaroid photographs, examining each one and reading its history.

"It's a dynamic and colorful collection with many subjects and artists," Annie Allen, curatorial intern, said, "all united by Polaroid."

In 1947, the founder of the Polaroid company, Edwin Land, developed a revolutionary photographic process and created the first instant photography. The struggling company gave away its film to various artists in exchange for the finished photos that are now on display. The result is an eclectic collection of artwork spanning the last half-century.

Jaque Kenne, Victoria senior, views a collage of photographs in the "Innovation/Imagination; Fifty Years of Polaroid" exhibit. The Spencer Museum of Art's showing runs through March 16 and includes work from Ansel Adams.
Tom Humphrey, Lawrence resident and former KU student, said he liked the exhibit because it contained no photo reproductions.
"These are all original prints," he said. "A lot of the photography exhibits only have copies."
Allen said she thought the
exhibit had been well-attended so far.
"There seem to be a lot of people," she said. "The comment book is filling up, mostly with positive feedback."
The show will remain at the museum through March 16.
Along with the Polaroid exhibit, the museum had a showing of the movie "Memento," in which the main character relies on Polaroid photography to make up for his lack of short-term memory.
A "Tour du Jour" commentary on the exhibit will be presented 12:15 p.m. Jan. 30, hosted by the museum's curator, John Pultz.

'Hawks to mess with Texas
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Heading into tonight's game with No. 4 Texas, Kansas is floundering in its second difficult stretch of the season and finds itself in a situation not unlike its early season meltdown.
The Jayhawks did their best to prove they weren't the same team that suffered embarrassing defeats in New York and Oregon. They won 10 consecutive games and dismantled Big 12 opponents Iowa State, Kansas State and Nebraska while clawing their way from a No. 20 national ranking to No. 6.

But after back-to-back losses to Colorado and No. 1 Arizona, Kansas is once again looking to win.
Junior forward Jeff Graves said similarities existed between the season's start and the Ivahawks' last week of play.
The Jayhawks (13-5, 3-1) aren't likely to catch a break from Texas (13-2, 4-0).
"We'll find out if we're as tough as I think we are." Williams told reporters after Saturday's game.
"It shows right there we need to play a full 40 minutes," he said.
One of the players that will challenge
Playing Texas just days after blowing a 20-point lead against Arizona will tell a lot about the Jayhawks, Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
The Longhorns have won eight straight games, including a 76-55 rout of No.21 Missouri Saturday. Texas has beaten its opponents by an average of 18 points per game during that span.
that toughness is Texas sophomore guard T.J. Ford. Williams compared Ford to Arizona senior guard Jason Gardner with a greater emphasis on distributing the ball. Last season, Ford averaged 8.27 assists per game, becoming the first freshman in the history of the NCAA to lead the nation in that category. He also scored 10.8 points per game. Through the Longhorns' first four Big 12 Conference games this season, Ford has still been a strong distributor with 5.5 assists per game, but has become a more effective shooter. In Big 12 play, he has made 51 percent of shots while scoring 17.3 points per game.

Preparing for Ford and the Longhorns should not be a problem, sophomore guard Keith Langford said. The Jayhawks have always been focused on beating Big 12 opponents, he said.

"What matters to me and what matters to the team is the conference," Langford said Saturday.
Williams said Langford's attitude was representative of college basketball players and encouraging to him.
"That's the great thing about young people," Williams said. "They can bounce back. They have to bounce back."

Jayhawks take second in meet

That's not the streak that most people at the meet were talking about, though.
Kansas State continued its streak in the 14th annual KU/KSU/MU Triangular on Friday in the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, winning its fifth straight title.
That honor goes to the man that ran into the meet wearing nothing but an orange hat. He completed a fourth of a lap around the track before being chased outside by a security guard.
The guard didn't catch the streaker but did管理 to confiscate the man's hat.
"That's unbelievable. Did that really just happen?" said Adam Bleser, Overland Park senior and one of many shocked onlookers.
Perhaps more unbelievable was that the Wildcats won their 12th
KU/KSU/MU Triangular in the meet's 14-year history. K-State swept the men's and women's competition with a combined 272 points from both its men's and women's teams. The Jayhawks finished second overall (227.5), with the women's team (113) finishing second and the men (114.5) finishing third. The Tigers finished third overall with the women's team (104) finishing third and the men's team (116.5) finishing second (116.5).
"We had a really good meet from top to bottom," coach Stanley Redwine said. "If we continue to get better, person-by-person and event-by-event, we'll hopefully have a good number of athletes in NCAA competition by the end of the season."
Jayhawk sprinters Robbie Harriford and Leo Bookman were among the eight event winners for the team. Harriford won the women's 60 meter-dash (7.60) and 200-meter dash (24.87). Bookman, last year's Big 12 indoor and outdoor 200-
meter champion, won the 200-meter dash by setting a meet record of 21.38 seconds. Bookman had a busy day finishing second in the 60-meter dash and the 4x400 meter relay.
Other event winners for the men included seniors Benaud Shirley in the triple jump (49-61/2) and Anson Jackson in the 60-meter hurdles. Jackson set a meet and stadium-record with a time of 7.97 seconds.
Sophomore Brooklyn Hann won the women's 60-meter hurdles (8.77) and sophomore Kim Clark won the 600-yard run (1:23:21). Clark and Hann teamed with junior Stacy Keller and senior Shameika McField to win the 4x400-meter relay (3:49.82). Freshman Charisse Bacchus won the long jump (18-11 1/4) and was the only woman Jayhawk to win a field event.

COMMENTARY
Ryan Wood
Attention on Wildcats costs victory over Buffs
Jayhawk fans, hope you enjoyed it. It came with a hefty price tag.
kansas' 91-74 defeat to Arizona on Saturday wasn't ugly by any means. In the first half, the Jayhawks looked unstoppable, and against college basketball's most talented team, that's saying something.
But in the end, depth prevailed. Arizona shot lights out, Kansas didn't, and the better team ended up winning. That's life.
It shouldn't be a big deal, but the nonconference match-up Saturday spilled over into the previous game, and that's where the problem lies.
The priorities surrounding Kansas basketball last week were disturbingly crooked. All week long, the media attention, the fans' attention and apparently, even the team's attention, was on Saturday's battle with No. 1 Arizona.
That's all fine and dandy, except for one little problem: Kansas was scheduled to play Colorado first.
Meanwhile, Colorado, a potential mismatch, did something it had no business doing: it outplayed, it outhustled, and it outscored the Jayhawks, 60-59. It was a joke.
The Jayhawks“A” game seemed to be saved for a superior Arizona team, which ended up kicking Kansas’ butt anyway.
"If we play like that," coach Roy Williams said, "we're not even a mediocre basketball team."
What was the reason? Excuse-makers can always think of something, but it seemed pretty obvious to the most casual of observers. The Jayhawks had an awful hard time focusing on a little Big 12 Buffalo when a big Pac-10 Wildcat was looming just days afterward.
"I think some of us were looking ahead," junior Jeff Graves told The Wichita Eagle on Wednesday.
That's crap.
No matter the media attention, no matter the hype, no matter the talent matchups that Arizona and Kansas bring to the table, the Colorado game, the Big 12 rival, is a whole lot more important.
In fact, KU is in the midst of a 15 game stretch between Jan. 18 and March 9, and the Arizona game was the least important one for KU to win.
The Jayhawks seemed to forget that last week, opting to save themselves for the glory of a big-time national show-down rather than a critical Big 12 match-up against a team that had fallen to them 27 straight times.

The Kansas swimming and diving team split its dual matches Saturday in Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks defeated Colorado State 174-125 but fell to Minnesota 189-110, giving them a 7-4 dual record this season.
"We would like to win at home to make it more exciting for the crowd," sophomore Amy Gruber said, "but Minnesota is a really good team and we're glad we raced against them."

yard medley relay with a time of 1:47.99.
Senior Gwen Haley had runner-up finishes in the 200-yard butterfly and in the 200 individual medley.
"Right now we are in a hit and miss," Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said. "One week somebody will hit, the other will miss. Everyone's going through all sorts of transitions."
Senior Beth Schryer's 10:20.75 time in the 1000-yard freestyle earned her first place. Gruber took first place with a time of 24.31 in the 50-ydar freestyle.
In diving, senior Patti Stringham took fourth-place in the three-
meter flight and fifth place in the one-meter.
Senior Kristi Misejka finished in fourth and fifth place in the one-meter and three-meter competitions, respectively.
The Jayhawks go back on the road to compete against Arkansas at 1 p.m. Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.

Ticket prices to rise next year
By Chris Wintering
winteringkensen.com
Korean writer/producer
The University of Kansas Athletics Corporation vouned 7-6 to raise the student all-sports combo ticket prices from $100 to $125 Friday. This is the first increase in four years for the package.
This year, the University sold Approximately 6,300 all-sports combo tickets said Susan Wachter, athletics department chief financial officer. The increase will likely bring in more than $150,000 and will go to pay for the expected increase in athletics-budget costs next year said Jonathan Ng, startup body president and KUAC board member.
Ng said he valued against the new price because students already had to deal with an increase in tuition and housing.

Don't make excuses for 'gutless' team
Saturday's debacle against Arizona can be summed up in two words: Kansas choked.
Arizona had the upper hand coming into Saturday's game at Allen Fieldhouse. The Wildcats had better starters, coaches and depth. I thought Arizona would win by only five. But how is it possible for the Jayhawks to have a 20-point lead with 5:41 remaining in first half to later play spiritless basketball and lose by 17?
Kansas choked. The team was gutless in the second half.
But the most upsetting aspect — other than the lavhawks' play — was the fans.
Quit blaming the referees for everything. After every call against Kansas, most fans booed. Yes, the men in stripes made some bad calls against Kansas. But it happens: they're not perfect.
Some of those calls were right.
Like the calls on those stupid fouls Kansas committed on offense. One might complain that Arizona was given too many free throw opportunities, but, unlike the home team, Arizona aggressively attacked the basket. In addition, the team took advantage of free throws, making 22 out of 26 attempted. Meanwhile, Kansas landed four out of 12 free throws, earning the team a whopping 33.3 percent at the line.
Don't use the referees as scapegoats. Don't think they'll bail out a team playing that horribly in the second half. Instead, the Jayhawks lost because Kansas choked.
But the referees weren't the worst of it. The fans that booed the whole game also cheered for the Jayhawks when they left the court with a 17-point defeat to Arizona.
Why?
I was one of a few fans who booed and cursed the team when it left the court. Who booed the team that was outscored 55-22 in the second half. Who booed the team that did not step up its play, giving Arizona a huge lead. I booed because — Kansas choked.
If you make excuses for Saturday's blunder and others, stop and shut up. This team is in trouble. The guys have played poorly for the past two games and need to turn the ship around now. Not after the Texas game or next week. Now.
The bottom line: Kansas lost Saturday's game because Arizona kept fighting and — admit it fans — Kansas choked.

Pierce returns, joins 'Hawk legends
By John Domoney

BvJohn Domoney
Paul Pierce developed into a high school All-American in Inglewood, Calif., and became an All-Star in the National Basketball Association for the Boston Celtics.
It was the three-year period Pierce spent in between his stay on the west and east coasts that produced some of his fondest memories.
F. A.
"So many memories come to mind being here," Pierce said. "These were some of the best days of my life. It was the last chance to really be a kid again."
Pierce returned to Allen Fieldhouse for Saturday's game against No. 1 Arizona to have his No. 34 jersey retired to the rafters.
After scoring 45 points in a victory against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in Boston, Pierce told the fans during his halftime speech he missed the cheers of the fans in the Fieldhouse.
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
Pierce's senior day never came after he decided to forgo his senior season at Kansas and enter the NBA Draft.
"Getting to come back for this game means a lot to me," Pierce said. "I always felt I never had a chance to say goodbye to the fans. Seniors get to say goodbye, and I never had a Senior Day."
After coming to Kansas in the fall of 1995, Pierce was a part of three of the winningest seasons during Roy Williams' tenure at Kansas.
During Pierce's career from 1996 to
Even with fellow NBA players Jacque Vaughn, Scott Pollard and Raef LaFrentz playing next to him, Pierce and the Jayhawks were never able to produce a Final Four appearance during their playing days at Kansas.
Paul Pierce watches the unveiling of his retired jersey in the south end of Allen Fieldhouse. Pierce, who plays for the Boston Celtics, returned to Lawrence to be honored during halftime of Saturday's game against Arizona.
1998, Kansas rolled to a 98-11 record including three straight conference titles. The first conference title came in the now defunct Big 8 Conference in 1996 followed by consecutive crowns in '97 and '98 in the Big 12 Conference.
cuse 60-57 in the West Regional finals in Denver, Colo. A 34-1 record and No. 1 ranking in 1997 wasn't enough to earn a trip to the final weekend in the college basketball season. Lute Olson's Arizona Wildcats knocked off the Jayhawks 85-82 in the Southeast Regional semifinals in Birmingham, Ala., behind the play of Miles Simon and Mike Bibby.
In 1996, Kansas was upended by Syra
Nowadays, Pierce and the Celtics are busy challenging Bibby's Sacramento Kings and the rest of the NBA.
Through Sunday, Pierce was averaging 26.3 points per game, fifth-best in the NBA. The scoring numbers and all-around floor game of Pierce has led to his being named to the NBA's Eastern Conference All-Star team.
Williams gave a short speech to the 16,300 fans at halftime and glowed during his comments about Pierce.
"It was great to see him," Williams said. "Paul Pierce was a great, great player for us. He's still one of the greatest players in all the world and was a pleasure to coach."
Pierce admitted the choice to come to Kansas out of high school was a tough one, but he said he considered himself lucky to learn the game from Williams and in the atmosphere of Kansas basketball.
"Coach Williams always said, 'The sky is the limit. You can be one of the best to play the game. It just depends on how hard you work.'" Pierce said, "I've put in the work and will never be satisfied."

Bucs defeat Raiders with tough defense
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Just defense, baby!
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't need much more — for most of the game, anyway.
Coach Jon Gruden and his Bucs won the Super Bowl yesterday, routing the Oakland Raiders 48-21 in the first matchup of the NFL's best offense against its best defense.
The Tampa Bay defense won by a mile, shutting down the Raiders for three quarters and holding on as they made a belated comeback attempt.
Super Bowl MVP Dexter Jackson had
Simeon Rice had two of the Bucs' five sacks as Tampa romped to a 20-3 half-time lead then scored two quick third-quarter touchdowns.
That rendered futile a late comeback by the Raiders that included a touchdown on a blocked punt and 48-yard TD pass from league MVP Rich Gannon to Ierry Rice.
too, led by Michael Pittman, who ran for 124 yards on 29 carries.
The Tampa Bay offense did its part.
Mike Alstott had a 2-yard TD run and Brad Johnson added two TD passes to Keenan McCardell, the second an 11-yarder after an 89-yard drive that ate up almost eight minutes of the third quarter.
Just 43 seconds later, Smith grabbed the ball away from Jerry Rice and took it to the end zone to make it 34-3.
Oakland owner Al Davis's slogan "Just win, baby!" wasn't going to work this time.
Oakland had just 62 total yards in the first half, second-lowest total in Super Bowl history.
KJHKSPORTS
Grimmett, invite you to listen in as they call tonight's men's basketball game against the Texas Longhorns live from Allen Fieldhouse. Below, Rockers brings you his expectations for the game.
KJHK's coverage of tonight's game against No. 4 Texas will begin just before tip-off at 8 p.m.
their role on the Texas team is to shoot the long ball. Harris sinks three's at a 40 percent clip. Boddicker has made half of his three-point attempts this season. In a carbon copy of the Arizona game, Kansas will start hot but fade down the stretch. Without Wayne Simien and playing on only two days rest, the Longhorns will wear down Kansas and escape Allen Fieldhouse with a victory.
As it has been for Kansas all season,
the key to this game is depth. After the defeat to Arizona, the Jayhawks must play fresh on only two days rest. The Longhorn reserves are not as talented as the players on the Arizona bench, but the Texas game plan will be to wear down the Kansas starters and win the game in the second half. Kansas may be the better team defensively, but Texas has the offensive advantage. T.J. Ford is overhyped, but he is still a fantastic distributor of the basketball. Brandon Mouton and James Thomas are the players the KU defense must focus on. Thomas is the force inside. He averages a double double and shoots 50 percent from the field. Sydmill Harris and Brian Boddicker are players who know that

Hey Aaron Miles, how about you get your head in the game? Your stupid turnovers against Colorado are the reason we lost the game. So get your head in the game or your butt on the bench and let somebody else actually do their job.

Tennis nets first season victory
By Jonah Ballow
jballow@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
But the team lost all three of its doubles matches Saturday to Brigham Young University. The 'Hawks still pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Cougars.
Coming into the spring season the Kansas tennis team felt its strength was in doubles.
Kansas juniors Kristen Steinbock and Courtney Steinbock were defeated in a close match by Dominique Reynolds and Elizaveta Klempner, 9-8. Two other defeats caused the Jayhawks to lose the doubles point heading into the critical singles competition.
Kansas bounced back by winning four of the next six singles matches.
"Normally we win our doubles matches," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "But it was nice to be able to win it in singles, especially winning the top four spots."
In singles action, Courtney Steinbock was victorious over Reynolds, 7-5, 6-3. Sophomore Paige Brown defeated Lu Oswald at the No. 2 singles position in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2. Freshman Christine Skoda defeated Klempner 7-5, 6-2, giving the Javhawks the lead in the match.
Kansas dropped the last two singles matches, which set up the deciding match with junior Emily Haylock against Olga Boulytcheva. Haylock lost the first set but then fought back to win the match, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. The victory gave Kansas the crucial point to win its first dual match of the season.
The Jayhawks are 1-0 while the Cougars fall to 0-2 on the season. Kansas faces southwest Missouri State Sunday at Indian Creek Racquet Club in Overland Park.

Would Kansas have lost to the Buffalooes, an average team at best, if Emporia State was the game slated for Saturday?
I doubt it.
"It's a marathon," Williams says of the regular season, "and you've got to run every mile of it."
Unfortunately, the Jayhawks didn't practice what their coach preached last week. They decided to walk the leg that went through the Rocky Mountains.
Win or lose, Saturday was a great day for Kansas basketball. The most talented team in America paid Lawrence a visit, and, for a while, the Jayhawks played

with it.
They certainly proved Saturday that they can run with the best.
Too bad it cost them an amazing 23-game Big 12 winning streak. And, if things are tight down the stretch, it could cost them a chance at back-to-back Big 12 titles.

Tickets

"Not only are students now paying for their own tuition increase, if you buy the package you are also paying for an athlete's tuition increase," Ng said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7B
Some members of the board thought the vote came too quickly without enough conversation about the topic, Ng said.
"We were really blind-sided," Ng said. "The vote came out of nowhere."
Among the people who voted for the increase was Mike Maddox, an alumni board member. He said the increase was less than 15 percent because there was an extra home football game this season.
"The board is sensitive to the impact of increasing the fee for students, but it is still a very good value." Maddox said. "You're paying only $125 for 16 KU basketball games and seven football tickets."
Ng agreed with Maddox that the tickets were still a good deal, but he said the increase came at a poor time and was unnecessary.
"No one is arguing that it is not a good deal, but just because you can increase ticket prices doesn't mean you should," Ng said.
The increase still puts the University in the middle of the Big 12 in terms of price for student season ticket prices, Wachter said. The last increase came in 1999 when the price went from $91 to $100.
The proposal also increased football season ticket prices from $167 to $182 next season. The increase is due to the number of home games increasing by one.
The board also added two premium games for next season. Fans will pay $35 for Missouri, $40 for Nebraska and $30 for the five other home games.
Both premium tickets cost less than the $45 charged for Kansas State tickets last season.

'Hawks lose after leading by 20

Jeff Graves, Jayhawks' junior forward, struggles as four Wildcats devour him. Arizona dominated Kansas, outscoring the Jayhawks by 30 in the second half of its 91-74 victory Saturday.
Second-half struggle keeps Kansas from defeating top-ranked Arizona Wildcats
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
kansan.sportswinter
What happened?
With a victory over No. 1 Arizona seemingly secure, No. 6 Kansas blew a 20-point first half lead and eventually fell 91-74 Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
A
During the first 20 minutes the Jayhawks could do no wrong. Kansas (13-5, 3-1) shot 65 percent from the field, led by Keith Langford.
KU
The sophomore guard owned the
first half, hitting nine of 12 shots before intermission.
When he dunked an alley-oop pass from sophomore teammate Aaron Miles, opening Kansas' largest lead of the game, it appeared that the Jayhawks were just getting started. It was actually the beginning of the end for Kansas.
Langford's performance turned out to be a microcosm for the Jiahawk team.
Like Langford, Kansas' hot start was matched only by its frigid finish.
After scoring 22 points in the first half, Langford was held to just five in the second, still good enough for a career-high 27
"I wanted redemption so bad. That was the worst game of my life"
Salim Stoudamire

points.
The Jayhawks followed suit, making just 29 percent of their shots.
"You throw it up there, and it either it goes in or it doesn't," Langford said of Kansas' bipolar shooting. "First half it was going in."
Stoudamire drained one clutch shot after another after the break, finishing the day with a game-high 32 points.
Langford was good early, but Arizona sophomore guard Salim Stoudamire dominated later.
Behind Stoudamire's lead, the Wildcats mounted a 37-point turnaround.
The game was a complete reversal of last years' contest, in which Stoudamire made just two of 19 shots.
"I wanted redemption so bad," he said of the teams' last meeting. "That was the worst game of my life."
"It had to have been the worst coaching job of my life."
Roy Williams Kansas basketball coach
Stoudamire may have exorcised his demons, but Kansas coach Roy Williams will be dealing with his for some time to come, he said.
"It had to have been the worst coaching job of my life," he told reporters.
The defeat comes just three days after another Kansas breakdown.
The Jayhawks lost a frustrating game to Colorado, 60-59 on Wednesday.
Reeling from consecutive defeats, Williams said he was worried about the psyche of the team as it readied to face No. 4 Texas on Monday.
If Williams is looking for encouragement, he can always turn to long-time friend and Arizona coach Lute Olson.
"I'm as concerned as you can possibly be," he said.
Olson told reporters after the Wildcats' victory he had no doubts about the character of Williams' ball team.
"It's tremendous to play against Roy," Olson said. "This is a first-class program that he runs."
Olson's starting forward and All-American candidate, senior Luke Walton, was equally complimentary of Kansas.
"it's like a childhood dream," he said of the victory. "Kansas has always been such a great program. To come in here and win is an amazing feeling."

Women break losing streak by beating Aggies
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team (8-9 overall, 1-5 Big 12 Conference) finally can claim a conference victory after beating Texas A&M Saturday night.
The Jayhawks' 64-57 victory in College Station, Texas, over the Texas A&M Aggies snapped the team's 21-game conference losing streak.
Kansas' last regular season conference victory came against Texas A&M in the season finale two years ago.
Freshman forward Crystal Kemp had one of the strongest performances of her young Jayhawk career with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
"I was real impressed with the team and myself," Kemp said. "Going 11-of-12 from the free-throw line was real good for me."
Complementing Kemp was sophomore guard Aquanita Burras, whose 16 points helped her break a recent scoring slump. She was scoreless in last Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma.
The true grit of the Jayhawks showed when they battled back from a 38-28 half-time deficit.
The Jayhawks took the game over to start the second half with a 17-0 run ignited by seven points from freshman
"I was real impressed with the team and myself. Going 11-of-12 from the free-throw line was real good for me."

forward Tamara Ransburg.
Ransburg finished the contest
with 11 points and four
rebounds.
The Aggies (8-9 overall, 1-5 Conference) kept the score close until late in the game when the Jayhawks hit six consecutive free throws to seal their first conference victory of the year.
Coach Marian Washington had been emphasizing the importance of breaking into the conference win column to spark a solid finish to the season.
The team will test Washington's theory on Wednesday night when they play host to Nebraska.
"She let us know once we had one going. It sets the tone for the rest of the season," Kemp said. "She just basically said it was a confidence booster for us."

Kansas upsets Texas in ESPN's 'Big Monday' game p.1B
Recruiting to increase enrollment of nurses
By Nikki Overfelt
overfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Despite a nationwide shortages of nurses, the University of Kansas School of Nursing is optimistic because of an increase in the number of pre-nursing students and an overall general interest in nursing, said Rita Clifford.
According to Clifford, associate dean for student affairs at the Med Center, the school had 1,122 inquiries last year about its nursing program. In a survey of students shopping for majors done by the University at enrollment, nursing ranked fourth.
Oread water main breaks
The United States will experience a 20 percent shortage in the number of nurses needed in the nation's health care system by the year 2020, a shortfall of more than 400,000 registered nurses nationwide, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Kristin Meyer, Derby Freshman is one of 344 pre-nursing students who will apply to a nursing school across the country, including the University.
The nursing shortage reassures Meyer in her decision to be a nurse, she said.
"If you're going to be a nurse, you might as well be a doctor," Meyer said she has heard from several people. But the guarantee of a job right out of college helped her to stick with her decision to be a nurse.
Pre-nursing majors spend two years taking liberal arts and science prerequisite classes. Then, they move on to the University nursing school campus or another nursing school to complete their bachelor of science or master of science in nursing degree.
In order to recruit more nursing students, the school is spending time in grade schools. Clifford said.
Many grade school students just think of shots when they think of nurses, she said, but the nursing school program informs students of the many different responsibilities of nurses. The presenters also talk to the students about how they can fit into the program as individuals.
Giving classroom presentations in high schools and colleges about the school is another way of recruiting. Clifford said.
Also, a pre-nursing counselor is at the advising center on the Lawrence campus one day a week to assist students who are thinking about nursing or interested in pursuing a career in nursing.

City of Lawrence workers attempt to tame a broken water pipe yesterday morning, at the corner of 14th and Tennessee streets. The pipe break left residents in the surrounding area without water for the early part of the day.
Residents briefly left without running water
By Jessica Palimenio
jpalimenio@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students waded through swampy, mud-filled streets yesterday on the way to their homes — but cleaning up couldn't come until several hours later.
Buildings between Tennessee and Ohio streets on 14th Street were left without water due to a water main break. The ruptured, 90degree angle pipe was situated at the corner of 14th and Tennessee streets.
"The water main wasn't supported right and the water pressure kicked off the 90," said Shawn Jaimez, Lawrence Utility Department employee.
The break sent water and mud to flowing through the street.
"I noticed my water didn't work and I was like, What the hell?" said Levi Reznicek, Baldwin City senior.
The department received a call about the incident at 11:05 a.m. and turned the residents' water off at 11:50 a.m.
Utility Department employees worked into the evening in a five-foot hole to repair the break.
Workers try to repair problems like this before they go home for the night, said Roger Coffey, director of the

Lawrence Utility department.
Some residents in the area said the lack of water had not inconvenienced them.
"I didn't even realize until I got back from class," said Kara Hansen, Topeka sophomore.
Ryan Brummer, Overland Park junior, said the broken main hadn't bothered him enough to keep him from going to class.
While trying to fix the pipe, electric lines to the traffic lights at the corner were cut.
Scott Wiltz, a local electrician who worked to fix traffic signals, said they were expected to be out of service last night and most of today.
Dry weather, which causes the ground to shift, has caused breaks like these to happen more often, Coffey said.

University will ease teacher shortage
New program to train graduates to teach in Kansas City schools
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com kansan staff writer
The beleaguered Kansas City, Kan., school district will get a boost from the University of Kansas nextyear when the University begins its "Transition to Teaching" program, University officials announced yesterday.
The University has partnered with the Kansas City, Kan., school district to reduce the district's critical teacher shortage by training college graduates with liberal arts degrees and strong math and science skills to be teachers.
"We're an urban district and like other urban districts, one of our problems is attracting high quality teachers in math and science," Ray Daniels, superintendent of Kansas City, Kan., schools said. "Our achievement results aren't as high as we'd like and the quality of teaching makes a difference.
The federally funded "Transition to
learning" program will put 160 new teachers in the Kansas City, Kan., school district during the next five years. The University will receive the first-year funding for the $1.9 million grant from the Department of Education in August. President George Bush's "No Child Left Behind" initiative provided the funding for the grant.
"This program is important because these students are learning in a school system with challenges," Angela Lumpkin, dean of the school of education, said. "They're from a low socioeconomic background where education
may not be valued."
Candidates for the new program must have at least five years work experience outside of teaching and commit to working exclusively in the Kansas City, Kan., school district for one year. The University will provide a stipend to cover tuition costs for each candidate.
The program requires a three-year commitment from teacher candidates, who will earn certification and graduate credit through a two-year program of intensive courses and on-the-job

Design alumna lays out keys for success
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Flexibility and talent are keys to succeeding in the Hollywood movie business, Dawn Brown, comic book artist and set designer for Columbia Pictures, told design students yesterday.
Brown, a 1991 graduate of the University of Kansas design department, described two career options for design students: movies and comic books. She started her presentation with video clips from the movies she designed for; including Batman and Robin, The X-Files, Charlie's Angels, Planet of the Apes, A.I. Artificial Intelligence and Ocean's 11.
"You have to be very good and very quick on your feet," Brown said. "It's problem solving and you have to bring something fresh to the page."
"Sets are designed to sell a mood, define a reality and create a world that serves the characters and the story," Brown said.
As a set designer, Brown makes working drawings, or blueprints, for movie sets that are made from scratch or modified to fit an existing location. Her work in the film and television industry, especially meeting Batman creator Bob Kane while working on Batman and Robin, led to the creation of a comic book, "Little Red Hot", published by Image Comics.
"As artists, we all have the opportunity to create something that will make a difference, something that matters," Brown said. "You're telling a story through sequential images."

Service notifies students as hacking investigated
The FBI investigation into the hacking of a test file containing personal information for 1,450 international students at the University of Kansas last week is progressing, said Jeff Lanza, special agent in the FBI's Kansas City, Mo., office.
"We had agents at KU on Friday and they plan to return later in the week." Lanza said.
The FBI's investigation is focused on finding the root of the hack at this point, Lanza said.
The University announced Wednesday that someone had hacked into a file designed to test its ability to comply with a mandate by the Immigration and Nationalization Service.
In related news, almost all of the students affected by last week's hacking have been notified. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations said.
Bretz said that only seven of the email notifications sent by University officials to students affected by the hacking were returned as undeliverable.
The University sent packages of information by mail Friday to help affected international students, Bretz said.
Bretz said KU's International Student Service was helping students sort out any problems related to the hacking and notifying legal services to answer students' questions.

Franklin may have to talk about house that caught fire
DETROIT — Prosecutors may subpoena singer Aretha Franklin to obtain information about her home that fire destroyed in October.
The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office will decide this week whether to issue an investigative subpoena that would "compel her to testify," said Deputy Prosecutor James Halushka.
Since the Oct. 25 fire, which has been ruled an arson, investigators say they have tried at least three times to interview Franklin. Her attorney, Elbert Hatchett, has answered most investigators' questions on her behalf.
Halushka said if the subpoena was issued, the only way Franklin could avoid directly answering questions would be to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Franklin was in Houston when fire swept through the 10,000-square-foot home in Bloomfield Township, Mich.
The investigation showed that an accelerer was used to start the fire in three locations on the first floor of the $1.6 million home.

Former KU student declines hearing
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Michael D. Carpenter, a former KU student from Olathe charged with drugging three KU students and attempting to rape one of them, waived his right to a preliminary hearing yesterday morning in Douglas County District Court.
attempted rape.
Carpenter is charged with three counts of distributing the date-rape drug gamma hydroxybutric acid, three counts of aggravated battery, one count of GHB possession and one count of
Assistant District Attorney David Zabel said anyone charged with a felony had a right to a preliminary hearing. During a preliminary hearing, both sides have an opportunity to present evidence. The judge then decides if enough evidence exists to continue. If not, the judge dismisses the case.
Zabel said it was not uncommon for a defendant to waive a preliminary hearing because the evidence needed by the prosecution to continue the case was low. The defense still had the right to a jury trial.
Carpenter's defense attorney.
Thomas Bath Jr., was unavailable for comment.
The next step in Carpenter's case is an arraignment, scheduled for Feb. 27, when he will enter a plea of guilty or not guilty to the charges.
Zabel said Carpenter's penalty, if convicted of the charges, depended on his criminal history. With no criminal history, attempted rape carries a minimum penalty of 55 months in prison, about four-and-a-half years. Carpenter has no criminal history in Douglas County.
On Aug. 29, 2002, a female KU student tested positive for the
date-rape drug at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after being treated for injury in a car accident. The woman then told the Lawrence Police Department that she and two of her friends had been drugged between 2 and 3 a.m. that morning and that a man at a Lawrence residence had tried to rape one of the women.
Lawrence police arrested Michael D. Carpenter later that day at his residence and found GHB in his car. Carpenter was then enrolled as a sophomore at the University.

Lawrence group sponsors Indonesian kids

For more than two years the Lawrence Indonesian Christian Fellowship has reached across the ocean to touch the lives of children they will probably never meet.
With the aid of the Jubilee Campaign, the fellowship runs a program they call the Foster Parent Program. Founded in London in the early 1980s, the Jubilee Campaign works to promote the human rights and religious liberty of minorities in countries that oppress them.
The Foster Parent Program is a program to support elementary to high school students in the Moluccan Islands of Indonesia, Silvia Hartanto, president of the Fellowship, said. Its purpose is to raise funds to support the students whose parents were killed during the Moluccan riot in 1999
so that they can continue going to school. Hartanto is from Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, and graduated in December.
The Lawrence-based group sponsors five Indonesian children: Benoni Samloy, 12; Domingus Johanis Manuputty, 13; Dwiyanti Wenno, 19; Irtosius Yance Haumauh, 13; and Yani Talahaturus, 8.
All of these children lost a parent in a war waged on their island between Muslims and Christians.
The Fellowship asks its 15 members to donate 25 cents a week. Other donors, including KU students and members of the Kansas City branch of the ICF, assist in making donations.
money to improve the future of Indonesia.
Hartanto said she donated
"If we want to make our country better, we think it is important to invest in education," Hartanto said.
The Foster Parent Program was initiated by Elmi Kosasi, another graduate in December from Jakarta, Indonesia. She presented the idea with the hope of sponsoring one child. The group raised enough to sponsor Benoni, Domingusgus and Dwiyanti in 2001. Last year they added Irtosius and Yani.
"There are many Indonesian students willing to help these kids," Kosasi said.
In response to the assistance, the children send letters to the Jubilee Campaign, who then forwards the letters to the Fellowship. In the letters the children are thankful, describe their lives and how their parents died.

Professor to study health, spirituality
Edited by Erin Chapman
A University of Kansas professor is looking into a possible correlation between spirituality and the well-being of terminally-ill older adults.
Holly Nelson-Becker, Hartford faculty scholar in geriatric social work and assistant professor of social welfare, received $100.000 from the John A. Hartford Foundation in New York through the Gerontological Society of America.
Nelson-Becker said the study focused more on spirituality than religion.
"Religion is identifying with an organized institution with beliefs, rituals and practices," Nelson-Becker said. "Spirituality is the language of connections and can include music and art."
According to a Princeton Religious Research Center study conducted in 1994, 92 percent of those who reported that religion or spirituality was important to them also reported that they were able to cope with problems that life presents.
Don Phillips, chaplain at Midland Hospice who counsels older adults, said spirituality helped families and friends deal with a loved one's illness.
"I definitely think spirituality is a factor in providing hope
"I definitely think spirituality is a factor in providing hope and courage as they work through terminal illness and face death."

and courage as they work through terminal illness and face death," he said.
Nelson-Becker said she wanted to see how the older adults coped with loss.
"I chose older adults because they are usually dealing with loss, whether it be their declining health, loss of friends or loss of their home," she said.
Although her research might show a correlation between spirituality and a patient's well-being, Nelson-Becker said not all people would be affected in the same way.
"Connecting with that domain can make an important difference for others," Nelson-Becker said. "Especially in times of crisis or when they are facing life challenges."

KU ROTC students ready for possible deployment overseas
By Gate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan Staff Writer
Although the chances of deployment are slim for the University's ROTC members, the Kansas National Guard is calling up more guardsmen for active service.
As President Bush's war on terrorism progresses, the University of Kansas' ROTC cadets and midshipmen must deal with the possibility of deployment and standing up for their country's military actions in the face of protest.
The Kansas National Guard will mobilize 100 guardsmen
from the 1st Battalion 161st Field Artillery of Garden City by the weekend for training, said Joy Moser, public affairs officer for the Kansas National Guard.
"So by just watching what's going on, you can see things picking up — not to say they're going to be used," said Lt. Col. Brian DeToy, professor of military science. "It's just that the military is getting ready so as to give the president that option if that's the way he goes."
Tom Morrow, Chicago freshman and ROTC midshipman 4th class, said he knew his job was to serve his country upon graduation. Morrow has a long way to go before that happens but he monitors the escalating situation.
"Whatever decision is made should be fully thought through," Morrow said.
Only two KU students in the ROTC program have been called away from classes. The two students' reserve training, which is usually during the summer, moved to January. DeToy said training earlier than planned showed the possibility of war.
Heavier protests are also showing the growing tensions among American interests. KU students and faculty protested against a
war with Iraq in Washington, D.C., during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.
"I try to understand what they see, but it doesn't always make sense," said Christopher Benton, Topeka junior and ROTC midshipman 3rd class. "Many times, they don't want a conflict but yet they don't want to give up their freedoms that they have."
Capt. James Cooper, Naval ROTC Commanding Officer,said six
"I'm here to do a job." Benton said. "The job may not be for everybody, but I made the decision that I was going to fight for my country and what we believe in."
of the Navy's 12 aircraft carriers were either abroad or ready to deploy.
"Looking at this one snapshot, you can see we're putting a major effort into this." Cooper said.
Dierks' close childhood friend was deployed to Kuwait last week as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Dierks argues with her friends at the University about the

possible war, she said.
"It's because of the people like all of the midshipmen here, people like my friends in the military that just got deployed to Kuwait yesterday, people like them are the reason that we can have anti-war protests and I think maybe they should take that into consideration," Dierks said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
INS policy maintains security
In response to the events of Sept. 11, Immigration and Naturalization Services sanctioned mandatory registration for nonimmigrants from Middle Eastern, African and Asian nations such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Yemen, North Korea, Egypt and Morocco.
This policy requires non-immigrants in the country temporarily to report to INS ports of entry to undergo background checks, finger-printing, and interviews aimed at preventing terrorists from roaming freely in the United States as the Sept. 11 hijackers did.
Seventeen of the 19 hijackers were in the country on expired student visas.
The United States will benefit from registering non-immigrants.
From Lincoln's 1864 suspension of the writ of *habeas corpus* during the Civil War to today's airport security measures, the government has revoked certain freedoms in the interests of public safety. Terrorism should be no exception.
Opponents of INS measures argue that terrorists will not register at INS ports of entry. However, registration will enable the government to monitor who deserves to enter the country on a temporary basis.
While today's tensions pertaining to terrorism and civil liberties may flare up because of procedures such as INS registration, they will produce more benefits than harm if conducted respectfully.
Students should show their fellow international students affected by the policy deserved acceptance for contributing their unique character to our open university and civic life.

MLK protest didn't merit coverage
Editor's note: The Readers' Representative writes a bi-weekly column that will critique the Kansan's performance on serving the student body.
Last Tuesday, The University Daily Kansan ran a front page story that shouldn't have been
presented as news. Judging an event's newsworthiness is never an easy call for journalists, and Tuesday's paper is an example of how the wrong type of story can slip by.
The story, headlined "Phelpses protest MLK speech," was about how Fred Phelps' daughters and about 15 others held an anti-gay rights protest during the Martin Luther King Jr. ceremony at the Lied Center. This article was featured above the story covering the MLK ceremony.
A protest may sound like news, but this event should not have been a separate article, let alone an article featured above the speech story.
By doing so, the Kansan gave free publicity to a tiny, petty hate group that has already gotten plenty of coverage in
.
READERS' REPRESENTATIVE

the past.
Their MLK protest was not news. The Phelpses seem to protest almost anything at the Lied Center event, regardless of whether it has anything to do with their cause.
In hindsight, Kansan editor-in-chief Kristi Henderson said she would not have run the story separate from the coverage of the MLK ceremony.
At the time, she said, it seemed like an interesting news story because it was so absurd that the group would protest a MLK ceremony. But the protest should have been mentioned within the ceremony story and not separate, she said.
Often, it's difficult for reporters and editors to discern the fine line between
what is interesting and what is inappropriate. Running stories about such groups as the Phelpses clan can encourage every crackpot to seek the limelight for the front-page story.
Certainly, the Kansan aims to keep its readers informed, but some seemingly "newsworthy" events can have no substance behind them.
When is it good news, and when is it sensationalism? Journalists will struggle with that question for their entire careers.
Each semester, the kansan gets a new crop of reporters and editors who are just beginning to tackle this question. And because they are new, each semester, some of the same mistakes get made. It takes time and experience to develop an eye for what warrants coverage. Whether it's deciding to run a rape story on page one or cover a hate-spewing protest, the answers are never easy.
The question now is, how quickly will they learn?

PERSPECTIVI
Israeli policy violates American rights
The international war on terror has gone too far. Part of being an American is valuing
an American is valuing inalienable freedoms. When our government removes those freedoms, even for our own protection, serious harm has been done to us all.
It is terrible to imagine our own government as a totalitarian state; it is unthinkable for our government to allow a foreign nation to strip away our freedoms.
C
The United Press International, a newswire service, reported this month that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has given the Mossad, the Israeli equivalent of the CIA, unlimited power to carry out assassinations of terrorists on the soil of Israeli allies.
Mossad agents could enter the U.S., track an American Israel (rightly or wrongly) deems to be a terrorist and kill that American within the borders of the U.S., all without any of the protections of the Constitution.
Sharon had forbidden Mossad to carry out assassinations, except in Gaza and the West Bank, because of embarrassing failures. Diplomatic constraints had prevented the Mossad from carrying out "preventative operations" on the soil of friendly countries until now. The war on terror has given Sharon the perfect opportunity to unleash Mossad agents.
That nightmare is a reality.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Matthew Dunavan opinion@kansan.com
Historically, Mossad agents haven't been very good at carrying out their killings. In 1974, agents attempted to assassinate Ali Hassan Salemeh, who planned the 1972 massacre at the Olympic games. A Mossad hit-squad went to Lillehammer, Norway, to kill Salemeh but mistakenly killed a Moroccan waiter instead.
It strains credulity to assume that no American shares a name or remote physical resemblance with a known terrorist.
Mossad's new director, Meir Dugan, isn't a careful man, and has been described as being "creative to the point
of recklessness," having a "real killer instinct," and being "not afraid to act on gut instinct."
I hope Dagan never intuits that an American citizen is a terrorist. I'd hate to see a "preventative operation" on U.S. soil.
The U.S. cannot do much about this policy without being hypocritical. America assassinated an al-Qaeda official in Yemen recently using an unmanned predator drone, operated by the CIA.
Ironically, our government is guilty of taking away freedoms in defense of them.
Americans were arrested and held without charges, and we did not stand up and fight. We were unconstitutionally searched, and our property seized. We did not stand up and fight. Our rights to a jury and lawyer were discarded, and our rights to free speech were infringed, and we did not stand up and fight. Now, foreign nations wish to take away our liberty.
We must object to this loss before it is too late for us all.

Critics want broadband regulations
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - A bill exempting broadband from state regulation threatens competition among providers of both high-speed Internet and local telephone service, critics said yesterday.
SBC Communications Inc., principal backer of the bill now before the House Utilities Committee, contends that deregulation would encourage investment in Kansas. But SBC's competitors and some state officials say it could eventually could give SBC a monopoly over digital subscriber lines, or DSL.
SBC is the state's only provider of DSL service, through a network it has built. High-speed Internet service — known generally as broadband — can also be delivered through cable, satellite and wireless systems.
The House committee heard from proponents of the measure last week and began taking testimony Monday from opponents, including the Kansas Corporation Commission.
"This is the not-so-subtle Trojan horse that allows SBC to get out from under KCC oversight," John Ivanuska, a Birch Telecom vice president, said after the hearing.
The bill would prevent the KCC from setting rates that SBC can charge other providers for access to its network. It would also prevent SBC from imposing more stringent access requirements than those mandated by the Federal Communications Commission.
SBC argues its broadband service should not face such regulation because the state does not regulate cable, satellite or wireless service.
Birch Telecom and other competitors contend the bill would leave customers with fewer choices, driving up prices.
Severe drought hits northern Kansas
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Severe drought continues to grip northwest Kansas, making it the hardest-hit area in the state, a newly released drought report shows.
While southwest Kansas was the first part of the state to come into the drought, northwest Kansas — part of the Upper Republican River basin — has had more severe conditions through last year, said Tom Lowe, an environmental scientist with the
Kansas Water Office.
The Kansas Water Office's latest report provides a midwinter update on conditions for the state. It also lists the extreme northeast corner of Kansas, located in the Missouri River Basin, as the only other area of the state remaining in a severe drought.
The report also noted the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center, in its latest seasonal drought outlook for the period that runs through
April, indicated improvement in drought conditions for the state.
But Lowe pointed out that was just a generalization that the El Niño weather phenomena typically brings more rain to the Kansas than normal. That has not happened yet this winter, he said.
"It is too early to raise a huge red flag—winter is our dry season and we are having a dry winter," he said. "Where I would start being concerned is if we move into spring and this doesn't start turning around."
Kansas officials: Bush plan would hurt state's budget
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—President Bush's economic stimulus plan would make Kansas' budget crisis worse, according to state officials and a report by a Washington, D.C., policy foundation.
Because the state's tax collection system is built on the federal tax code, Bush's proposal to eliminate taxes on stock dividends would cost Kansas an estimated $51 million, according to a memo to the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee from Richard Cram, director of policy and research for the Department of Revenue.
Other features of the president's plan would cost Kansas an estimated $2 million, bringing the total loss in revenue to $53 million.
"In the kind of situation we're in, I don't think we can afford to give up $50 million." House Speaker Doug Mays, R-Topeka, told The Topeka Capital-Journal.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan
research foundation in Washington, has calculated that the Bush plan would cost states $4 billion during the next fiscal year.
Kansas already faces a projected shortfall is $750 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius proposed spending $313 million that otherwise would be set aside as emergency funds, divert $165 million in highway funds and local governments would lose $86 million in state aid to cover the shortfall.
While spending on public schools and higher education wouldn't be cut, other budgets would be reduced.
If state revenues, which to date are $22 million below estimates, continue to come in short of projections and the Bush stimulus plan is approved, Kansas would be facing a projected deficit, even if Sebelius' proposals were enacted.
Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Steve Morris said of the president's
plan: "My first thought when I read about the plan was how it was going to hammer us."
Though the Bush stimulus plan faces opposition in Congress, state officials are considering legislation partially decoupling Kansas from the federal tax code if Congress approves the plan.
However, Senate President Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, said he is concerned that decoupling would create additional paperwork for the Revenue Department and for taxpayers.
"That's the last thing we want to do," he said. "Decoupling seems like kind of an extreme response."
In acknowledging that decoupling the state would result in additional "administrative hassles," Revenue Secretary Joan Wagnon said, "How we should respond is not at all clear yet."
Though it may be too soon to decide whether to decouple from the proposed federal tax changes. Mays said it isn't too early to start collecting information

Work-study programs may face shortfalls
By Cate Batchchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan Staff Writer
Work-study students may meet their salary ceiling earlier this year than last year because of the recommended 50-cent pay increase to all student hourlies making under $10.
If employers had not found money outside of federal funds, work-study students could have been without jobs mid-semester. Funds can only pay a work-study student up to $3,300 during an academic year
one of the financial aid office's work-study students. She recommended filling out the Free Application for Funding Student Amenities earlier to increase students' chances of getting work-study status.
"This year, I've had to stick it to a lot of departments saying you know, 'Sorry, can't do.'" Cooper said. "So we've just had to be more vigilant about spending money."
“It's nice to have a pay increase because you might not have to find a second job,” Vo said. “But what if you have to cut back hours or lose your job?”
Karen Cooper, work-study coordinator for the Office of Student Financial Aid, keeps tabs of all 503 work-study positions on campus. With the budget crunch and the pay increase, she said more departments were asking for federal money to pay their work-study students but wouldn't be getting it.
The libraries employ the largest number of work-study students on campus, using 20 percent of the University of Kansas' work-study budget. The libraries are also one of the lowest paying
employers with base wages now beginning at $6.
Linda Vo, Dodge City junior, is
"I think we simply hadn't kept pace with the other departments and, two, we do have a limited budget," said Sandy Gilliland, assistant to the dean for personnel. "We were planning to increase wages. The provost just happened to do it for us."
The library and other campus departments such as the School of Education will use other resources mainly money from their operating budgets to keep students working at the new wage levels.
America Reads, which hires 19
work-study students who tutor at-risk Lawrence elementary students, is a federally funded program working out of the School of Education's budget.
"Our services are pretty powerful for the Lawrence district in providing contacts between the University and schools to improve student reading skills," said Maria Kepka, America Reads coordinator and Hutchinson senior.
C. J. Brume, business manager for the School of Education, said she predicted the students who worked with America Reads
would reach the federal salary maximum before the end of the semester because of the wage increase. Brune said the school would fund the tutors until the end of the semester using operating budget funds.
Kepka's 19 work-study students made $7.50 before the pay increase but were bumped up to $8 afterwards.

"In these types of programs around the country, the interest level has been in the hundreds." Lumpkin said. "We can be very selective."
Later this year, the University and the Kansas City, Kan., school district will seek 40 teaching candidates for intensive training courses during June and July 2004. The recruits will begin teaching in Kansas City, Kan., classrooms in fall 2004. During the school year, new teachers will continue to take training classes in Kansas City, Kan., and at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park.

knowledge of their subject but a need for support in learning how to teach.
"This partnership will provide that support," he said.
In addition to courses at the University, each new teacher will be paired with a mentor from the Kansas City, Kan., district to promote retention. The district uses this mentor program for all new teachers. The mentor and the new teacher spend time together before the school year to get to know each other and talk weekly to solve problems. Daniels said that the school system found this mentor system to be successful.
"We're hoping to hire high quality teachers that will come to Kansas City to stay and be productive teachers for our students," Daniels said.

The class of 72 students meets every other Monday for the spring semester, and is a required one-half credit class. The symposium is free and open to the public in the Spencer Museum of Art auditorium.

Cancer claims Wichita broadcaster
The Associated Press
HOUSTON - Veteran broadcast executive Michael "OI" Mike" Oatman, a homespun Wichita radio personality for nearly 40 years, died early Monday at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. He was 63.
Oatman had been battling cancer and was admitted last week to the Houston hospital. His attorney, Sean MacEnulty, said Oatman died at 4:45 a.m. of liver cancer. He was surrounded by his family.
Oatman was a partner with Mike Lynch in Great Empire Broadcasting Inc. until his retirement in June, 2001. But Oatman continued until recently to do his five-minute daily show of poetry and humor on Wichita's KFDI/KFI1 radio, "Philosophy and Foolishness."
He also wrote a weekly column called "Life With OI' Mike" for The Wichita Eagle.
Oatman was a native of Marfa, Tex., and began his broadcasting career with a variety of radio jobs in Louisiana, Colorado and Texas. Lynch,
who founded Great Empire, hired Oatman from an El Paso station in 1964 to be program director and drivetime anchor for KFDI.
Oatman soon was promoted to station manager. Using his "Ol Mike" air name, he continued his KFDI morning show for 37 years. He also was co-host for several years of the KAKETVOL Mike and Mogie show.
Oatman and Lynch later became partners in Great Empire, which also owned KTTS AM-FM in Springfield, Mo.; KVOO-AM, Tulsa, and
WOW AM, Omaha, Neb. Great Empire was sold to Journal Broadcasting Inc. in 2001.
Oatman is survived by his wife, Peggy, Wichita; and three children, all in the broadcast business, daughter Melissa McDermott, CBS-TV overnight news anchor in New York; Andy Oatman, Tulsa, and Richard Oatman, Kansas City.
Services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at Hughes Metropolitan Complex on the campus of Wichita State University.
Farmers trying to fund ethanol plant
The Associated Press
GARNETT — Backers of a proposed $36 million ethanol production plant in Garnett plan 52 investor meetings within a six-week span in the hopes of raising enough money to get bank financing for the facility.
Jack Porter, a South Dakota consultant hired by East Kansas Agri-Energy to put the project together said it would end or collapse on March 19.
The group must raise at least S14.4 million in order to get a bank to lend them the rest, Porter said.
The fund raising drive kicks off Feb. 10 with the sale of "membership units." The minimum investment is $10,000, the group said.
"We are in the process of raising money for the thing, but quite frankly all these get money raised when they get to this point," Porter said. "It is going to happen."
The proposed facility will be
designed to produce an estimated 20 million gallons of fuel ethanol per year. It will need 7.5 million bushels of corn and sorghum annually — the yield from about 85,000 acres — to meet that production level.
The plant would take about 12 months to build, once financing is secured, and is expected to employ 30 people.

Deputy attorney general's past draws interest
TOPEKA — The state's new deputy attorney general for consumer protection, who participated in mass abortion protests in Wichita in 1991, said yesterday he would look beyond his views on abortion in enforcing Kansas law.
Bryan Brown, 44, said he was hired by Attorney General Phill Kline because of his sense of justice and his desire to see people treated equally.
"I'm not a political hack brought in to shut down abortion in Kansas," Brown said.
Kline's office called a news conference late yesterday to discuss Brown's appointment, which has drawn attention because of Brown's background in the anti-abortion movement.
Kline opposes abortion and has promised to interpret the state's law more narrowly than his predecessor, Carla Stovall.
Brown was hired from the Tupelo, Miss.-based Center for Law & Policy of the American Family Association, a Christian advocacy organization. As a litigator for the past six years, Brown represented parties in state and federal cases on First Amendment issues.
Earlier this month, according to a news release on the group's Web site. Brown won a federal challenge to two Florida statutes restricting sidewalk distribution of certain kinds of literature. The case stemmed from two women's distribution of fiers critical of the Disney Corp. as they stood on a traffic island near Disneyworld.
Brown said Monday he had been arrested about a dozen times in the 1980s and early 1990s while protesting abortion.
One of those arrests occurred in Wichita during the 45-day "Summer of Mercy" protests staged by the group Operation Rescue in 1991, during which more than 2,700 arrests were made. He spent more than two months in jail in Kansas, he said, and ended up living in Kansas for more than two years.
Then as now, the Wichita clinic of Dr. George Tiller was a chief target of protests because Tiller is one of the nation's few doctors who perform late-term abortions. Brown said he would not shut down Tiller's office.
Brown said that now that he is an attorney,he no longer participates in protests. He said abortion probably does not fall under the jurisdiction of consumer protection.
Brown received his law degree in 1996 from Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach, Va., a Christian institution. He is licensed to practice law in Kansas, and his wife, Anne, is a Kansas native.
Senior deputy attorney general Eric Rucker said Kline was aware of Brown's background, and Kline found him the most qualified candidate.
Kline did not attend Monday's news conference because he was at a hearing in Kansas City, Mo., on the proposed sale of the Health Midwest hospital network, said spokesman Whitney Watson.

Bench help necessary for women to improve
After enduring her toughest season as a coach last season, with an 0-16 conference record, things could only get better this season. An 0-5 start to the conference schedule this year must have had Washington wondering if she would ever win another conference game.
A good portion of the pressure on her young squad was eased Saturday night. The Jayhawks ended a streak of 21 consecutive Big 12 losses by defeating Texas A&M on the road.
The team's performance this weekend was a complete turnaround from last Wednesday's sloppy loss to Oklahoma, where Kansas turned the ball over 30 times.
Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg, sophomore guard Aquanita Burras and freshman forward Crystal Kemp have already proven that they can be productive against Big 12 opponents. For the team to make that extra push, there are three players in particular who will have to step up from here on out.
Now that the team has its initial conference victory, it will have to earn its stripes down the stretch of the season.
Erica Hallman, freshman guard
Hallman has already shown flashes of brilliance on several occasions this season. Her tendency to pass first and shoot second has earned her a couple of starts. Hallman has the ability to score at will against anyone she chooses. She is fourth on the team in scoring with 8.5 points per game. Her average of 3.8 assists per game is a team high.
As of late though, Hallman seems to have put her shooting way on the backburner with only 12 points in the team's last three games. Hallman can dazzle the crowd and opponents with some amazing passes but has to keep up her scoring average to add the most that she can off the bench.
Stacev Becker, sophomore guard
Becker, a transfer from Wichita State, was unable to play for the team until second semester but she has already proved her ability to shoot consistently from downtown. After only ten games played, Becker leads the team in three-point field goal percentage and is tied for the team lead in three-pointers made with 14.
Becker is obviously the team's biggest threat from beyond the arc, so she has to find ways in her minutes off the bench to consistently get open outside. If she is having trouble getting freed for the three, Becker has to utilize her quickness to penetrate the lane.
Keila Beachem, junior forward
Beachem remains the team's biggest mystery. When she does see minutes on the floor, she is apparently the team's most athletic member.

Basketball games pay off
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every time 16,300 men's basketball fans fill Allen Fieldhouse,the University of Kansas gets another dose of the lifeblood that fuels KU sports.
The Athletics Department may spend between $15,000 to $18,000 to make a game happen, but it's the money it gets back that supports the rest of KU athletics.
Men's basketball earns about $275,000 in ticket sales every game
before sales taxes and surcharge revenues. According to the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation, basketball accounts for 23.2 percent of its revenue and just 8.9 percent of the expenses.
Men's basketball and football are the only two sports at KU that make more money than they spend, said Susan Wachter, the Athletics Corporation's chief financial officer.
"Men's basketball helps to pay for other sports," Wachter said. "Without the money from basketball and football
and donations, there wouldn't be other sports."
Concessions earn roughly $10,000 per home game. Basketball also made approximately $22,600 in cash contributions, separate from Williams Fund donations which are split between basketball and football.
Overall, men's basketball earned more than $7.5 million and spent around $2.2 million in 2001-2002, according to the Athletics Corporation.

They've seen it before — crazed fans storming the court, come from behind victories against top-ten opponents, last second three-pointers clanging off rims.
Yeah, they've seen it before, but this time the Jayhawks viewed the scene through winners' eyes.
After dropping back-to-back games against Colorado and No. 1 Arizona in the past week, No. 12 Kansas edged third-ranked Texas 90-87 last night.
Jared Soares/Kansen
After trailing by as many as 12 points in the first half, senior forward Nick Collison made sure the Jayhawks would not lose the third consecutive game for the first time since 1994. Collison manhandled a Texas frontline noted for its physical play. He tore down a career high 23 rebounds more than half of Kansas 43 total rebounds. Add to that total 24 points, and Collison had a night that prompted ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale to join Kansas fans in a standing ovation when Collision left the court. It was only the second time in his career that he has done that for a player, Vitale said. The last time was when Navy's David Robinson played against Kentucky.
Vitale wasn't the only one impressed with the Jayhawk big man. After the game, Kansas coach Roy Williams couldn't sav enough good things about him.
"Nick Collison," Williams said. "Unbelievable on the backboards. If we
hadn't had him I don't know what we would have done on the backboards."
As good as Collision was, he couldn't help Kansas during its white-knuckled finish.
With 1:18 left in the game and Kansas clinging to a 4-point lead, Colli-
son picked up his fifth foul guarding Texas junior forward James Thomas. Thomas converted one of two free throws, but Texas junior guard Brandon Mouton turned the ball over in the Longhorns' next possession. Two seconds later, Collison's replacement,
sophomore guard/forward, Michael Lee took advantage of the mistake by converting two free throws, putting the Jayhawks ahead 90-85.

Burras shows skill in victory

It's 10:15 p.m. on a Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse. An hour after the Kansas women's basketball team has lost 61-49 to Oklahoma, the hallways are quiet except for a faint bouncing noise. In the gym, sophomore guard Aquanita Burras and former Kansas guard KC Hilgenkamp are squaring off in a game of one-on-one.
To anybody who knows Burras, it's not too far from typical.
career. Asking Hilgenkamp for help paid off when Burras returned Saturday night with 16 points in the Jayhawks' win against Texas A&M. The turnaround is just a small step in what has been quite a journey.
For Burras, the night had already been bad enough. She had just experienced the first scoreless game of her brief Kansas
Her career started in Fairbanks, Alaska, and took a detour at Central Arizona Community College before finding home in Lawrence. She said the Central Arizona coach had been talking about her talent with a coach from summer basketball team.
"The next thing you know, she asked me if I wanted to come." Burras said. "She said I had a full-ride to come to her school, and that was my little trip to Arizona."
As a freshman at Central Arizona Community College, Burras shot onto the
scene, leading her team in scoring with 14.2 points per game. Along with her scoring, she pulled 6.5 rebounds per game and recorded 85 steals during the season. Capping off the year, she was named Second Team All-Conference. Although she found quick success in Arizona, Burras had set higher standards for her playing days.
"I said I was only going to stay there one year because I wanted to play at the Division-I level, and I didn't want to waste another year at the juco level," Burras said. "Coming to the Big 12, that was my big opportunity just to go ahead and step on the scene."

The KU Bowling team continued its winning ways this weekend in the Sixth Annual Blue and Gold Classic. Notre Dame hosted the tier one tournament in South Bend, Ind.
The KU men's team finished in third place out of 33 teams with a total pin count of 11,012. Morehead State University took first place with 11,383 pins. Morehead State holds the number-one rank in the country.
Jesse James, Lawrence senior, led the team with a 214 average. He was fifth in total pin-fall and was named to the All-tournament team.
Ryan "Rhino" Page, Wichita freshman, recorded a 211 average and finished in eighth place overall.
Coach Mike Fine said he was most surprised with the the women's team.
"We're especially pleased that our women's team continues to show improvement,"Fine said.
The women finished fourth out of 25 teams. They tallied a pin count of 10,351 just 32 pins less than number-one ranked Wichita State University. Central Missouri State won the women's side with a total pin count of 10,409.
Kelly Zapf, Rochester, N.Y., sophomore, had the hot hand for the women', finishing with the a 197 average. That average earned her third place and All-tour nament honors. This was Zapf's fourth All-tournament selection of the year.
The KU men's and women's teams are ranked sixth and 16th in the nation, respectively. Both teams most likely move up in the polls after this weekend.

Ritual ruined by sharing ceremonies
The lonely jerseys hanging in the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse will finally have some company.
Before the season started, the athletics department announced that the requirements to have a jersey retired for Kansas basketball players would be curtailed. The old rules required a player be one or more of the following: Three-time Consensus All-American, Consensus Player of the Year. Final Four Most Valuable Player.
The new additions to these requirements allow a player to have their jersey retired for one or more of the following: First team Consensus All-American, two-time Consensus All-American, Academic All-American of the Year.
Doug Vance, associate athletic director, said the changes were made because too many great players in Jayhawk history weren't receiving appropriate recognition.
To have more than 100 years of Kansas basketball and only nine jerseys retired does seem a little ridiculous.
However, adding 12 new numbers seems a little extreme for one season. Some of the significance of having a jersey retired at a basketball Mecca, like Kansas, is lost when you share the ceremony with someone else.
Drew Gooden and Paul Pierce didn't have to worry about that, but Raef LaFrentz and Howard Engelman will share a ceremony, as will Angela Aycock and Tamecka Dixon.
Having your jersey retired is one of the most prestigious honors in all of sports. It signifies that you will forever be remembered as one of the best to ever play for that team. It should be a night for one player to cherish, not a night for two players who never played together to share.
From 1991, when KU began retiring jerseys, to 200 nine jerseys were retired. In the 2002-2003 season, 12 jerseys will be.
Go on. Say some significance isn't lost.
Groen. Saysome significance is lost. Vance said the scheduling was determined based on the availability of those players in the NBA and on the availability of the other players:
I would rather see Gooden back in the Fieldhouse after he has a couple of years to let his days as a Jayhawk sink in a little. At least wait until after he would have graduated had he not abandoned his team for the all-mighty green.
So thank you very much. University of Kansas Athletic Department. In doing a seemingly good thing, you have also reduced the significance of having a jersey retired. Spreading out the ceremonies honoring these great players would have helped to keep the importance of this ritual intact.
Copenhland is a St, Louis, Mo., senior in journalism.
With the NBA season in full swing, each Tuesday you will be filled in on what former fayhawks playing at the pro level are doing. If there are any players from Kansas basketball history you would like to see an update on, e-mail your requests to rgreene@kansan.com.

If you ask Paul Pierce, there's a good chance he would agree that last week was one of his bests as a pro and
BOSTON CENTICS
maybe best ever. Not only did the Celtics go 3-1 despite the absence of Pierce's sidekick Antoine Walker, but Pierce also had his jersey retired in the Allen Fieldhouse rafters on Saturday. Pierce scored 30 or more points three times this week, including two 40-point outings. His only game under 30 points resulted in his first triple - double of the year, with 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists in a win Sunday against Orlando.
Drew Gooden — Memphis Grizzlies
The bad news.

GRIZZLERS
The bad news is that the Grizzlies are back to their losing ways, falling in seven of their last nine games.
The good news though, is that Gooden has been inserted as Memphis' starting power forward with Pau Gasol moving to center.
The past week was rough to the Grizzlies' record but Gooden at least showed up to play his best against their most significant opponent. In Thursday's loss to Sacramento, Gooden recorded 11 points and 12 rebounds; his third NBA double-double.

Super Bowl attracts high ratings
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — This lopsided Super Bowl had the second-most TV viewers in NFL, title game history: 137.65 million.
ABC's telecast of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 48-21 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday registered a national rating of 40.7 — 1 percent higher than last year and the best since 2000.
That means an average of 40.7 percent of the country's TV homes were watching at any given moment.
The vieworship estimate, based on everyone who watched
at least six minutes, puts Sunday's game second only to the 1996 Super Bowl between the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was seen by 138.5 million on NBC.
In 2002, the New England Patriots' 20-17 upset of the St. Louis Rams on a final-play field goal had a 40.4 national rating on Fox. That tied 2001 for the fourth-lowest rating for a Super Bowl since 1972. Sunday's game ranks 27th of the 32 Super Bowls since then; of course, cable and the Internet have lowered broadcast ratings in general.
On the other hand, because more people own televisions.
lower ratings can still translate to higher viewership.
Viewership was consistently high throughout Sunday's broadcast, starting with 38.8 from 6.30 to 7 p.m. and rising to 41.5 by the end of the second quarter. Even halftime was popular, with a 40.1 rating from 8 to 8:30 p.m.
The audience — which advertisers paid ABC an average of just over $2 million per 30-second commercial to reach — dipped from 9 to 9:30 p.m., during which time Tampa Bay enjoyed its biggest lead, 34-3.
Oakland's mini-rally probably helped bring viewers back to the
game. The rating rose a bit from 9:30 to 10 p.m., and hit its peak for the final 18 minutes, from 10 to 10:18 p.m., with 42.4 percent of the country tuning in.
"There was a significant interest in the game: the matchups, the coaching story with Jon Gruden," said Neal Pilson, former president of CBS Sports and now a consultant. "And the game kind of rescued itself late in the third quarter, when Oakland scored a couple of touchdowns. We were headed for a real blowout."
The record rating for a Super Bowl is the 49.1 that CBS got for San Francisco's 26-21 victory over Cincinnati in 1982.
Costs
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The spending amount for basketball games varies by game because of the changing costs of officials, among other costs. Officials cost between $3,000 and $4,000 for non conference games and average $4,300 for conference games. The most the Athletics Corporation spent on officials last year was the Kansas State game where officials cost $5,000. The Big 12 Conference pays for its

Alex Creek and Doug Seck. Overland Park freshmen, play a game on XBox while camping out in Allen Fieldhouse for the Jayhawk's basketball game against Arizona. They are both members of the camp group Leo IV.
Camping out at Allen Fieldhouse is nothing new. For years, students have spent a lot of their spring semesters inside the Fieldhouse. However, this year it seems there has been an increase in the number of campers. Everyone from fans camping for the Arizona game to basketball coach Roy Williams have noticed.
"Roy took us on a tour through the Field house and he said it was the most he'd ever seen since UCLA, the year after they won their last championship," said Andrew Gantenbein, Hope senior.
Gantenbein, who has been camping for two years, said he was impressed that 49 groups showed up for the lottery Sunday, the morning after the Arizona loss.
"I thought there would be more of a hangover from the Arizona game," he said.
Camper Kim White, Andover junior, said over 130 groups camped out for the Arizona game, compared with 50 to 60 groups for Big 12 Conference games.
Paul Beahm, Bentonville, Ark., junior, and a camper for two years, not only recognized the increase but also thought the competition of the Big 12 and better home games this year were the reasons.
"I can't think of a better schedule," said Beahm. "It's rare to play the number one team on a Saturday and then the number three on Monday."
White, whose group was number seven for the Texas game and was as high as number four earlier in the year, thought the success of last year's team contributed to the increase.
"After KU made the Final Four, students are realizing how important it is to get good seats," she said.
Whatever the reasons for the huge number of campers, not all campers are experienced ones. Sheena Morton, Garden Plain freshman, and Jeda Hays, Pratt freshman, tried camping for the first time during the week leading up to the Arizona game.
Other campers who were first-timers included Craig Paschang, Overland Park freshman. Paschang didn't say he was a diehard fan, but hinted that he would continue to camp out.
"We are going to keep coming out," said Morton. "We're die-hard fans."
When the Tigers roll into town, it doesn't seem to matter what either of the teams records are, there are always a large number of campers. With an improved Tigers team that reached the Elite Eight last year, maybe the record number of campers for the Arizona game will be nothing more than average.
With the large number of students showing up after the Arizona loss, even more are expected Monday when the Jayhawks take on rival Missouri.
"After the first game and all the energy that was there... it's probable," he said.

Cowboys shock all with big wins
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If they gave an award for biggest surprise of the season, Oklahoma State would be a runaway winner.
The Cowboys (16-1, 5-0 Big 12) head into this week's games sporting a 14-game winning streak, the longest in the nation.
At 5-0, Eddie Sutton's team is off to its best start in the Big 12 Conference since Henry P. Iba, who coached Sutton, was 5-0 in 1964-65.
In addition, Oklahoma State is the only Big 12 team to have four players among the top 30 scorers in a league where hardly anyone expected them to finish much better than sixth.
But do not feel chagrin at being surprised by these Cowboys. So is Sutton.
"I don't think I would have bet one dollar, or maybe even 25 cents we'd have a record like we have at this point," Sutton said.
As impressive as any of the Cowboys' wins this year was their 79-70 triumph on Sunday at Texas Tech. Tony Allen, a junior college transfer who's made a seamless transition to Big 12 competition, scored eight of the Cowboys' final 12 points. Allen is averaging almost 18 points in his last 10 games.
He averaged 19 points in two road wins last week and was picked the Big 12's rookie of the week.
"I don't think the young man understands pressure," Sutton said. "He has that ability to elevate his game when he senses his team needs him."
Nevertheless, Sutton is still not sure he wasn't right when he said at the beginning of the season that Oklahoma State could not win the Big 12 title.
"Earlier we still had a lot of questions," he said. "I think the club has matured. There are still some questions in my mind as to how far this team can go. We still have to correct some things in order to continue to win. We still turn it over too many times, foul too much.
"I am pleased with the togetherness and the chemistry this ball club has."
Making the victory over Texas Tech even sweeter was the presence of one of Sutton's new assis-
"I think the old guy sitting on the bench with a scowl on his face is the secret to the whole
thing
Roy Williams KU basketball coach
tant coaches — James Dickey, who was fired two years ago to make room for the hiring of Bob Knight as Texas Tech coach.
"They wanted to win that game not only for themselves, but for coach Dickey." Sutton said. "It was a big celebration for all of us, that we could go in there and upset the Red Raiders."
Most of Oklahoma State's production has been coming from players who were on hand last year. But at least one expert would disagree that Allen's emergence is the key to the Cowboys' big start.
"I think the old guy sitting on the bench with the scowl on his face is the secret to the whole thing," said Kansas coach Roy Williams.
Also playing better than expected is Texas A&M, which is 2-2 for the first time ever in Big 12 play. The Aggies' 10-5 overall record is their best since 1993-94, the last time they advanced past the conference tournament.
A big help has been the addition of Antoine Wright. Wright has been a help to senior Bernard King, who's on pace to become the Big 12's all-time leading scorer.
"Bernard's had so much on his shoulders the first three years, he's had to carry such a big load," said Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson. "Now Bernard doesn't have to worry about shooting all the time.
Missouri guard Ricky Clemons, who has been charged with assault — a charge which he denies — was given a rough time by fans at Texas on Saturday. Coach Quin Snyder said it was nothing he didn't expect.
"When you go on the road there are things that can distract individual players and distract teams. You anticipate those types of things. That's part of the adversity of going on the road."
Greene
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Over the past few games, Beachem has began to earn more regular minutes, and she is good for giving the team a pick-me-up.
The best example was last Wednesday when, in just three minutes played, she did a dazzling spin-move in the low post for her only points and blocked a shot on an Oklahoma fast
break. With Ransburg having a tendency for foul trouble this season, Beachem will have to keep up her consistency when she comes off the bench.
The key to making the Big 12 Conference is depth, and if these three players can up their contribution off the bench, the Jayhawks' chances of a post-season berth might not be so far fetched.

Hey! This outhouse is all out of toilet paper.
Oh, Crap.
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 28).
You can be the mastermind for a huge project this year if you really want to be. Go ahead. It'll be fun, and it'll further your agenda. Besides, they need you. They've got the energy and the motivation. You've got the technical brilliance.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is an 8.
Overexuberance could do more harm than good. A critical older person wants to know if you can control yourself. Earn new respect by proving that you can.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
The person who signs your check is in a generous mood. If you point out an extra service you've performed, you might get a bonus. Sad stories might work, too.
Gemini (May 21-June 21. Today is a 9.
Allow yourself to be surrounded by an air of mystery, as if there's a secret sorrow you can't divulge. It'll bring out the best in your
friends
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
What can it all mean? Why is everybody looking to you? They all think you can do it. Find a way, using their energy. Be shrewd.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
You're known for your enthusiasm.
It's one of your finest qualities. But let a little reality creep into your computations. It'll improve your odds.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
Keep moving things around until you get your environment just right. Meanwhile, a conversation about an old hurt helps you see what you learned.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 9.
Go over your agenda early to keep from running all over. Something you were going to get over there can be found, or delivered, over here.
Scorpio (Oct, 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 4.
p.
Keep your wits about you,and don't lose your good sense.Don't spend
the money as fast as it's coming in,
or you'll be left with nothing. Do the math.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 9.
You may find it helpful to run, ski or ride your bike. Exercise will help keep your mind clear and keep you from becoming overwhelmed.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
Untangle a mess by carefully sorting through the facts. As secrets are revealed, a truth may emerge that's different from what you'd believed.
Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb, 18). Today is an 8.
Don't make more promises than you can keep. It's wonderful to be popular, but don't spread yourself too thin. And don't let your friends keep you out too late, either.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
The pace is quick, so don't spend much time asking questions. Play your part as rehearsed and achieve the goal.

Friendship drives Ford and Miles

Aaron Miles receives a pass and shields the ball from Texas guard T.J. Ford. The two off-the-court friends both played solid yesterday. Miles finished with 15 points and nine assists, and Ford had a team-leading 25 points and 10 assists.

Shortly after Kansas' 90-87 win over Texas last night, Longhorn sophomore point guard T.J. Ford sat on a step in the hallway of Allen Fieldhouse fielding questions from a host of reporters.
Covered in sweat and stinging from his team's first conference loss, Ford stuck his hand through the bevy of reporters as Kansas point guard Aaron Miles sought Ford and slapped the hand of his friend and foe on the court.
Best of friends off the court but fierce competitors on the hardwood, Ford and Miles waged battle last night as both played more than 30 minutes and directed their teams in a hard-fought Big 12 Conference showdown.
Ford entered last night's game averaging a team-best 17.3 points per game in conference play while hitting 51 percent of his field goal attempts. Against Kansas, Ford did not disappoint with 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.
Against Kansas, Ford's performance last night was no surprise after the point guard entered the season as a preseason All-American.
"He's the best point guard in the country," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "He does so much for our team. I'm with him everyday, and I still don't know how to guard him."
In last year's game against the Jayhawks in Austin, Texas, Ford nearly led his Longhorns to an upset over Kansas with 16 points and 11 assists.
This time around, the story
was the same after Kansas produced a furious second-half rally after trailing 48-43 at halftime.
Much of the Jayhawks success came on the heels of sophomore point guard Aaron Miles' containment of Ford and Miles' offensive production.
After Ford shot 6-12 in the first half, Miles hounded him into 2-11 shooting in the second half.
Miles' defense on Ford was only the beginning of his play as Miles tallied 15 points and nine assists. The 15 points were the most for Miles since he scored 16 points in a win over California on Dec. 28.
The points and assists were a bonus, Miles said, but he placed most of his focus on guarding Ford.
Several of Ford's decisions involved getting the ball to the hot hands of Longhorn forward Brian Boddicker.
"It's real tough," said Miles of guarding Ford. "He's probably the quickest point guard I've faced. He's stronger than he looks, and he makes great decisions."
"He can see the play develop and find me open," said Boddicker about the court vision and passing abilities of Ford. "He finds you in positions you don't even think you're open."
Boddiecker found the holes in the Kansas defense and shot 6-of-9 from three-point range and finished with 20 points.
As the game clock wound down, Ford found himself in a position to tie the game at 90 when he missed a three-pointer from the corner before time
"It looked like it was going to go in, but it came up short," Ford said. "I thought we were going to overtime."
expired.
Miles said Kansas coach Roy Williams had instructed him to foul Ford as he was bringing the ball up the floor, but Ford's quickness with the dribble did not allow Miles to create a foul before the shot.
With the win Kansas ended a two game losing streak, and Miles broke out of his recent slump. Miles said he will take the words of Ford after the game for use as motivation.
"He always wants me to do good, and I always want him to do good." Miles said. "T.J. told me to show people I can play."

Burras
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Kansas discovered Burras through a Central Arizona assistant coach, former Jayhawk Keshuna Ledet. Kansas coaches watched Burras play and were so impressed that they quickly offered her a full scholarship to play in Lawrence.
"She knew that she could take the ball to the rim for us and she also knew that she could help us in the guard spot," said coach Marian Washington. "I am really thrilled for her because she has done both and it is a great confidence booster for her."
The scholarship was inviting, but it was her visit to campus that convinced Burras that coming to Kansas was right.
Since the start of the season, the team has already eclipsed last year's win total. With an 8-9 overall record, the team's biggest victory came Saturday night at Texas A&M when the team snapped a 21-game conference losing streak. Burras said that

Kansas sophomore guard Aaron Miles was supposed to foul Texas sophomore guard T.J.

Boddicker made 5-of-8 three-point attempts in the game, but this one missed its mark.
win was simply a step to what she wants for the rest of the season.
"I want us around the seventh seed or sixth seed, but I don't want to go too far up, because everyone wants to beat you," she said. "It's best to be the underdog."
Burras said she was already preparing for life after college, on the court or off.
"I would love to still be playing," Burras said. "Either over the summer in the WNBA, but if it's not there, there's always the opportunity to go overseas, or just start life. Whatever happens after college. I'm just going to have to get ready for it."
As one of nine newcomers on the team this season, Burras has immediately left an impression. Leading the team in scoring with 10.9 points per game, solid play has turned her into a rising star. With all the pieces seemingly in place, Burras has found a home.
"No one's telling you one thing and then going behind your back and being, like, we just got you here just to get you here," she said. "Everybody's here and we're just a big family."

The lightning-quick Ford came up with his ninth rebound of the game and fired one more shot from behind the arc. The shot that would have given him his 28th point instead fell short and gave Kansas the victory.
Roughly 100 fans rushed to center court when the buzzer sounded, but the Kansas players made a quick exit.
"They were so tired they didn't feel like jumping around," Williams said. "When I got to the locker room there was a little jumping around, because I freakin' wanted to jump around."

Whistle to return
Wayne Pearse, building engineer, welded the broken pieces of the steam whistle after it blew apart last week. The whistle will be displayed in the Kansas Union for people to see, touch and hear by pushing a button.
Donation to maintain tradition
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For students and Lawrence residents who miss the familiar sound of the steam whistle, it will be only a touch away.
University of Kansas officials are raising funds for a replacement whistle and are planning to memorialize the damaged whistle.
Facilities and Operations donated the broken whistle to the Kansas Union, where it will be displayed in the lobby of the new west side entrance. David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, said the whistle would be placed on top of a pole for people to look at and touch. Visitors will be able to push a button to play the sound of the whistle. Mucci said.
"What I think is wonderful is you have this ugly, odd and spectacular object on display for people to see the physical embodiment of the sound that has been in their lives on Mount Oread." Mucci said.
Mucci said the public display of the whistle was important because the steam whistle had been part of the University's history since 1912. The installation of the whistle in the Union is not definite, but Mucci said he wanted it on display by May graduation.
An anonymous donor wanted to keep the whistle tradition alive, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association. The donor contacted the Endowment Association to offer money to replace the steam whistle that broke last week after he read about it in local media coverage.
George Cone, assistant director for mechanical systems, said despite the difficulties he had encountered trying
"For someone to donate on a tradition is something that I understand."

to replace the whistle, he was happy that it would be replaced and that a donor was willing to help with the cost to bring the whistle back.
"I'm an old navy guy, and the word 'tradition' is very important to me," Cone said. "For someone to donate on a tradition is something that I understand."
Scarffe said after the Endowment Association received a cost estimate, the association would relay that figure to the donor to see whether it fit his price range.
Cone said he contacted a man in Cincinnati about building a replacement whistle. The cost of the whistle or date it would be installed is still unsure. Cone visited the Web site steamboats.com and listened to different tones of steam whistles to use for the new whistle.

Bill proposes more student involvement
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students may soon be able to sponsor legislative bills going through Student Senate.
As the system stands now, students are not allowed to write or sponsor legislation. The new bill, up for consideration at tonight's Student Senate meeting, would allow more student input in writing bills without actually drafting them.
Scott McKenzie, College of Libera Arts and Sciences senator and the bill? writer, amended a former proposal that would have allowed KU students to write legislation.
"I just felt that Student Senate needed to open itself up more to the students, and this was one way to do so by allowing students to get involved in the process of legislation," McKenzie said.
Student Body President Jonathan Ng is against the bill, he said, because allowing students in on writing legislation devalues the committee system. Any student can join Senate committees such as the finance committee and can then be involved in the bill-writing process.
"We were elected for a reason: to voice concerns on behalf of the student body and to basically care about issues that they otherwise wouldn't have time to care about," Ng said.
Rachel Monger, Plattsburg, Mo., firstyear law student, agreed, saying the responsibility of writing bills lies with those who were elected.
"I think it's a wonderful idea, but doesn't it undermine the jobs of the senators?" Monger said. "I thought the point of electing senators was to do that job."
Amanda Flott, student rights committee member, also has problems with the proposed bill.
top of a bill, which gives them speaking privileges," Flott said.
The bill would not disrupt the status quo, she said, because students are already allowed to speak about bills in meetings. For this to happen, the senator who drafted the bill must be present to introduce those students. Introductions aside, the new bill could pass that step.
Flott did agree with McKenzie, that increasing student involvement in government should be addressed, but she didn't think this bill was the way to do it.
In other news, discussion is up for a bill for a petition requesting increased student parking in lots by Summerfield, Haworth and Malot halls, and the Multicultural Resource Center. The lots would open to students at 5 p.m. They are now open at 7:30 p.m. Should the bill pass, the petition will go to the Parking Commission for the final vote.
"Nothing is a quick fix to solve the problems that has separated the student body from the Student Senate, but hopefully this can be one step,"McKenzie said.
Also in discussion is a bill to amend the rules and regulations about classroom speeches. During the 2002-2003 Student Senate elections, campaign speeches in the classroom were interpreted by the elections commissioner to be an interference in the classroom. The new proposal advocates that speeches in the classroom be allowed at the discretion of the instructor.
During the open forums of the Student Senate meeting, Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services, will discuss the KU hacker situation. Also in the forums, three student senators will give updates on the current search for the new University ombudsman, vice provost for student success and the dean for admissions and scholarships.

Survey requests violate University policy
Within the past week, at least two professors have been contacted by representatives from a hiring agency, asking to have surveys about summer employment filled out in class.
According to a press release put out by the Office of the Provost, the "surveyor" was representing a hiring agency and was violating University policy on solicitation.
University policy states that all sales or solicitations must be approved by the University Events Committee or the University administration.
"It seems it was something for commercial gain, which is inappropriate," said Danny Kaiser, director of the Student Organization of Leadership and Development Center. Groups must be registered with
the center to distribute surveys on campus.
Don Steeples, vice provost, said he was contacted over the phone by a surveyor.
"There was someone who called me up to ask if they could do a survey in my earthquakes and natural disasters class," said Steeples. "I asked what part of the University he was affiliated with and he grew very quiet."
The caller said he was not part of
a formal organization, Steeples said.
"This is a big place and we don't have someone going around observing those types of matters," Kaiser said.
Mind our dust
"Once I found it wasn't University affiliated, I didn't press the issue." said Steeples.
The University policy concerning solicitation on campus is not strictly enforced.

STATE
Money shifted from roads into Kansas schools
TOPEKA-A bill to withhold $143 million from cities, counties and highway projects to help balance the state budget received a Senate committee's endorsement yesterday.
The Ways and Means Committee's 9-1 vote sent the bill to the Senate for debate. The Legislature is revising the budget so the state does not end the current fiscal year with a deficit.
The Senate measure withholds $95 million from road improvement projects and $48 million in aid to local governments.
It also takes $35 million in fee revenue normally used for specified purposes and diverts the money to education, social services and other programs.
Gov. Bill Graves proposed the steps before leaving office, and Gov Kathleen Sebelius has embraced them.
The Senate bill is less comprehensive than a budget-balancing measure endorsed last week by the House Appropriations Committee, which included all proposals for rewriting the current budget.
But State Budget Director Duane Goossen said the Senate bill contained most of the important proposals Sebelius had forwarded to legislators.
The Senate bill adds $21 million to the current budget to deal with public school's unexpected costs.
Pentagon short of cash debt still could grow
NATION
WASHINGTON — The cost of fighting the war against terrorism has left the Pentagon at least $15 billion short, and the budget gap must be filled soon or troop training will have to be scaled back, the Pentagon's budget chief said yesterday.
Dov Zakheim, the Pentagon comptroller, said in an interview with The Associated Press that the military also was ringing up unbudgeted charges as it sends tens of thousands of troops and tons of equipment to the Persian Gulf region in preparation for a possible war in Iraq.
He would not say how much the troop buildup cost.
"We're still estimating," he said. "It's changing almost daily."
The budget problem could grow dramatically if President Bush should decide to attack Iraq and Congress does not cover the extra costs, Zakheim said.
Zakheim said the administration had not yet decided how to structure its request to Congress for extra money.

Bush pledges to fight to disarm Iraq
WASHINGTON — Building a case for war against Iraq, President Bush said last night he has fresh evidence that Saddam Hussein seeks to "dominate, intimidate or attack" with weapons of mass destruction that he could share with terrorist allies. Bush pledged to "fight with the full force and might of the United States military," if neces sary, to disarm Iraq.
forward tax cuts, Medicare changes and other domestic policies geared toward his 2004 re-election drive.
For the first time since the Sept. 11 attacks transformed him into a wartime president, Bush faced the nation amid serious questions about his leadership. Most Americans don't approve of his handling of the economy, poll indicate, and only a bare majority support his policies on Iraq — an area where the president enjoyed support of more than 80 percent a year ago.
"A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats is no peace at all," the president said in a State of the Union address that also put
The first half of Bush's hour-long address was devoted to domestic policy, a reflection of his desire not to let Iraq overshadow domestic issues dear to Ameribans. The heart of his package is a $674 billion plan to revive the economy, mostly with tax cuts, and a $400 billion, 10-year proposal to overhaul Medicare, sprinkled with Initiatives to combat AIDS, produce energy-efficient cars and give religious groups access to federal community service money.

New shelter to provide beds for intoxicated homeless
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Vandalism and violence, housing and hygiene. These are just a few of the daily trials that workers at the Salvation Army deal with in their efforts to temporarily house and help the homeless, provided they haven't been drinking.
Lawrence Open Shelters Inc. will take on those problems and perhaps a few more at a new overnight homeless shelter the group plans to open at 944 Kentucky. The proposed shelter would provide about 20 places to sleep for Lawrence's homeless, even if they've been drinking.
Keeping those people from sleeping outside is reason enough for Lawrence lawmakers to forgo the usual procedures for granting occupancy. The city commission gave the shelter a
temporary permit at last night's meeting.
"We're ignoring our land-use laws because while we think those are of important value, there are other values here we think are more appropriate to attend to," said assistant city manager David Corliss.
No one at last night's meeting voiced any opposition to the shelter. Local homeless advocates have awaited the decision to grant a temporary permit that allows the shelter to house the homeless until the building is up to city code.
"I think the need is clearly there for an open shelter," said Jeff Kuykendall, Lawrence resident, works at the Community Drop-In Center next door to where the new open shelter would be housed.
The Drop-In Center already provides showers, laundry, counseling and career services for
many of Lawrence's homeless.
"There should be a place where every human being—no matter what choices you make—has a place to stay, provided they are nonviolent," Kuykendall said.
It's not the threat of violence or vandalism that keeps the Salvation Army from admitting homeless people to the shelter when they've been drinking. Those threats exist regardless of the shelter's policies. The Salvation Army's drinking policy is out of concern for those in the shelter who are trying to overcome their own problems with alcohol.
"We have to keep them separate from people who've been drinking," said Lawrence Salvation Army director Rich Forney. "We treat people like the adults they are and expect them to act accordingly."
At the Salvation Army shelter
acting accordingly includes abstaining from alcohol or forfeiting a spot on the floor for a night.
Forney said people who use the shelter understood the rules and when they'd violated them.

"They know if they want to stay in here for the night, they have to blow a .04 or lower," Forney said.

The state's legal limit for intoxication is a blood alcohol level of.08.
This building at 944 Kentucky St. will soon house a homeless shelter. The issue was discussed at the Lawrence City Commission meeting yesterday.
"I think that's being generous," Forney said. "There are some shelters I know of in Kansas City where if they smell even a trace of alcohol on you, you're banned from staying there for a week."
Providing a place for the homeless to stay if they have or haven't been drinking is not a source of concern for the owner of the building that would house the proposed shelter — and he lives next door.
James Dunn is a member of the Lawrence Coalition for the Homeless and is well aware of the problems the Lawrence Open Shelters has run into while searching for a permanent home.
Dunn lives immediately north of the proposed shelter and owns both buildings.
"No one wants to sign off on
something and have there be an incident, so I guess maybe I'm the one." Dunn said.

Army judge shares wisdom and past with law students
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Retired Maj. General William K. Suter keeps two pieces of memorabilia from his 29 years in the military in his office at the Supreme Court building: a picture of himself shaking hands with Colin Powell and a picture of himself at 20 years old with a young Elvis Presley at Fort Hood, Texas.
in Green Hall.
Suter, the clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court shared that and other Army tales with University of Kansas law students yesterday
Between his junior and senior year at Trinity University, Suter trained for ROTC at Fort Hood and met Presley, who was in advanced training.
"He was a very generous fellow and a regular guy." Suter said. "I had a few beers and a haircut with him. He was a tough soldier."
A career Army judge, Suter served as an appellate judge, deputy staff judge advocate of the U.S. Army in Vietnam and commandant of the Judge Advocate General school before taking the position as clerk of the Supreme
Court in 1991
Suter spoke to two classes, answered questions and ate lunch with faculty members yesterday. He will visit at least two more classes and speak about career opportunities in the Judge Advocate General's Corps today at 12:30 p.m. at room 107 in Green Hall. By the end of his visit, he will have talked to more than 200 students, said Steve McAllister, dean of the School of Law.
"We have speakers here as often as we can get people of this caliber to come visit us," McAllister said. "I love to get these kinds
of visitors because it's an important part of a legal education to see and speak to leaders."
Jennifer Colaner, event planner for the School of Law, said the school was trying to keep up outside connections with different areas of law.
"Tomorrow's forum on the JAG Corps is an opportunity for different perspectives on law than mainstream lawyers and judges," Colaner said.
Suter, the 19th Supreme Court clerk in a line that stretches back to 1790, is responsible for the rules of the court, all legal paperwork, and Supreme Court Bar admissions. He processes about 5,000 applications for admissions each year.
"We get 8,000 petitions filed a year, and a lot are frivolous, but it says 'Equal Justice for All' on the courthouse and we believe that," Suter said. "Every case is looked and reviewed carefully."
College students regularly intern for the clerk's office answer phone calls and read all correspondence. Students earn 16 credit hours for their work.
filed by law firms or the state, are granted each year. Of the other 6,000 petitions, only .2 percent are granted. Most cases heard by the Supreme Court are important federal questions without answers or split decisions made by lower courts. The court hears arguments from October to April and opinions are written in May and June.
Suter said 3 percent of the 2,000 petitions, petitions
"We are the only governmental outfit in Washington that starts on time and ends on time," Suter said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Jayhawks to parade for charity
In the spirit of public art and charity, the Lawrence Con-
charity, the Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau decided last year to organize the creation of 5-foot tall, decorated fiber-glass Jayhawks to be displayed around town beginning in March and ending in October. Local independent and business donors so far have sponsored 31 statues, which will be designed by local artists. All proceeds will go to each donor's charity of choice.
Don't expect the Visitors Bureau to raise large sums of money, but the event will attract some outside visitors — probably sentimental alumni — and stamp Lawrence a little darker on the art-icon map.
Some examples of these recent art events include cows parading through Kansas City, Mo., in 2001. Snoopy's in Minneapolis, Minn., in 2000 and ponies in Arlington Heights, Ill., in 2000. It's a relief that Lawrence chose the Jayhawk for 2003.
Susan Henderson, bureau member, said the project would follow a wave of similar art-icon and charity events across the country.
When March Madness rolls around and the docile yet aesthetically pleasing Jayhawks begin popping up around town, get out of the house, and enjoy the sites. Support the newest forum for public art in Lawrence, a city dedicated to the cause.

PERSPECTIVE
Cell phone addiction makes for tough cultural transition
Editor's note: Stauffer writes a biweekly column about her experiences studying abroad. She is participating in the Humanities and Western Civilization program in Florence, Italy, and Paris.
Hi, my name is Louise, and I'm a cell phone addict. I never realized I had a problem until
I arrived in Florence, Italy, a few days ago. I began having withdrawal — reaching for my phone every time I heard one ring, wanting to check my messages. I felt nervous, left out.
Worst of all, I began having to walk. It was just down the street to see what friends were doing for dinner. But I hadn't done that since high school. It's bad. I should start a 12-step program.
COMMENTARY
Florence is wonderful, and joining this program is the best idea I've had since I decided to stop peroxiding a
It's a semester without peanut butter, ice in my drinks and a weekly dose of the Anna Nicole Smith Show. But cell phone withdrawal? No way.

stripe in my hair.
But Italians love to talk, and the heart of the Renaissance is crazier about mobile communication than America is. Whether on the steps of the Duomo or in the piazza of Santa Croce, a Florentine is gabbing away on a cell phone.
Without one, a person can get caught in some pretty embarrassing situations. The other night, I ended up at disco XOXO with a guy we met that evening, Rob from Texas, because my friends and I got separated, and I couldn't call to see where they'd gone. Luckily, I found my way home, but a cell phone would have reminded me that I live on Via de Benci faster. Rob offered to walk me home;
not guessing he'd have to explore half of Florence with me before I found my place.
The cell phone cravings got so bad that my five roommates and I broke down and rented one yesterday, which was like going from driving a Lexus to a Ford Festiva. But we had to. One hundred Euros and it was ours for a month. We call it the Zack Morris phone. It's big, it's yellow and it's heavy. But, oh, is it worth it. We don't even use it much, but as it's sitting here next to me, I feel much better.
Before cell phones were around, people were fine. Friends still met up, addresses were still found. Some of you out there are fortunate enough to still be cell-phone virgins. But there may not be hope for the rest of us. We'll have to work on it. Maybe we should try a campuswide "turn off your cell phone" day.
No, I don't need the challenge. I know I'd be the first one on the wagon.

PERSPECTIVE
Students strapped for cash should consider careers in exotic dancing
Stripping? Are you kidding? Do I look like a stripper to you? These were my initial thoughts when someone suggested exotic dancing to me.
COMMENTARY
But the more I thought about it, the more appealing it became.
It was a usual hand at a club until a wandering hand came out of nowhere and stuck a dollar bill in my top. Floored, I whipped around expecting to find some drunk guy, only to find the familiar face of a girl I sit next to in class. She explained that she worked at a local club and wondered if I would be interested in a job. She gave me her number, adding that she thought I'd be perfect for it. My initial thought: No thanks, sweetie.
For many college-aged women, exotic dancing is not just an exciting job choice, it's also an asset to fund a price college education. The hours are convenient, allowing students to remain on track in class by day and strip by night. Benefits include great pay and motivation to stay in flawless shape, not to mention the attention dancers receive while doing something they enjoy. When other options include carrying around greasy food for rude customers and enduring long hours for nearly nothing, the alternative becomes all the more tempting.
"Sasha," a dancer at a Lawrence club, attended classes full time and worked an internship on the side. She needed a job that could fund her education and living
Ashley Smith opinion@hansan.com
expenses early in her college career. When she applied for a waitress position at the club where she now works, the management mistakenly thought she was a dance applicant. The idea became more appealing to her as she watched dancing co-workers leave with $300 to $1,700 per night.
So "Sasha" seized the opportunity to make that kind of money and became a stripper herself. She has been dancing for more than two and a half years. Aside from the disputes it caused with her parents, she couldn't be happier with the decision. It has meant financial independence — without loans — and a great job experience.
"It is constantly both physically and mentally demanding and is in no way an easy way out," she said. "You must learn to deal with such a broad range of customers in this industry."
"Susha" said she liked the challenge striping presented.
On the other end of the scale, there are some who disagree with the idea. Anne
Marie Baker, mother of three college-aged women, said she saw stripping as an unacceptable option for any of her daughters. The Tulsa, Okla., mother said she hoped that with the values she had instilled in her children, they would not even consider stripping.
Baker said she feared that a young woman who entered the business could not have reached the maturity level to make the right choice on her own.
More importantly, Baker said, she worried that the girl would regret it later in life. There is always an alternative to the profession, she said.
But in "Sasha's" case, there were few other options if she wished to remain enrolled full time. To start an adult life with no financial dependability, she made it a goal to not acquire debt by taking out loans.
In college, personal decisions overrule those of Mom and Dad. Women who decide to strip must be willing to stand on their own, despite the consequences.
The girl from my class was one of the last people I would have expected to work as a stripper. She and others have transformed my prejudices about the line of work, and my own conclusion on this taboo topic surprised me.
Who knows? I might just call her back.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
City commission candidates share concerns for Lawrence
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Editor's Note: The University Daily Kansan will run a series of candidate profiles before the primary elections.
Three political novices from three generations all have similar concerns for the city's future but they have distinct ideas on how to get there. All three city commission candidates agree that the Lawrence economy should be driven by the University of Kansas.
Zachary Bassin
Bassin, 23, moved to Lawrence almost five years ago and decided to call the city his permanent home a few years later. Bassin graduated from the University in Spring 2002 with a degree in political science and
now attends the Washburn University School of Law.
Some of Bassin's main concerns:
Protecting Lawrence tax dollars
Streamlining resource overlap between the University, the school board and the city
- Creating a land-use tax to charge builders and developers for new infrastructure, instead of paying with tax dollars
Redirecting the alcohol tax to improve public space and infrastructure
What's the biggest city issue facing the University and its students?
"I think how the University portrays itself to the community especially with the rec. center and the houses on Ohio. They pretty much did what they wanted without consulting the community.I think not only do the city and the University need
to get a board together to try to work these things out, but they should also have student input on those kind of boards."
Lee Gerhard
Gerhard, 65, retired from the Kansas Geological Survey and decided to run for city commission to give back to the community he has called home with his wife for the past 16 years. Some of Gerhard's main concerns:
In four words: vision, civilitv. equity and fairness
- Increasing the viability of downtown as a place where everyone will want to live
- Increasing economic cooperation between the city and the University
the University and its students?
- Developing a vision of what Lawrence wants to be — not a document set in stone but a continuing dialogue
What's the biggest city issue facing
"When I left in 1964, the University hadn't yet started to develop any of the research and development potential and the industry that would surround it. If we can work a partnership for the University to do that, then the potential to use tax increment financing with the University to create jobs, at all income levels, then we have a great potential.
"This is one of the things that can really enhance this University. We are a state-supported institution, but the state support has been variable. I see this moving in the realm of many other state universities, that is, being state-assisted.
As other demands hit the state, I would think it's really a good time for this University to enhance its own financial future."
Greenvorv DiVilbiss
Some of DiVibiss' main concerns:
DIVibiss,42,has been in sales most of his life and is a partner of a local real estate investment firm. He was raised in the Kansas City area and moved to Wichita for four years before relocating to Lawrence with his wife and three children in 2001. Source of DIVibiss data.
Bridging the gaps between different interest groups such as the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Haskell Indian Nations University and the University.
- Keeping the Lawrence population working in Lawrence, not commuting
Providing adequate, affordable housing
"I think finding ways to commercialize the research that is
- Solving the budget crisis in the public schools
What's the biggest issue facing the University and its students?
coming out of the University is important to the city of Lawrence and the University. If viable companies can be created locally, it will be a great way to increase our tax base and at the same time provide jobs to graduates of KU and the people of Lawrence.
"With the Midwest's highest educated population and with 22% of the work force commuting to other communities to work, we know we have a great potential work force. We now need to continue the business of providing jobs.
"The Centers for Excellence at the University and the Lawrence Regional Technology Center, our local business incubator, can help create a better Lawrence for the students and the community."

Reaction to film positive
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Matt Jacobson, cinematographer for Bukowski: Born into this, saw it on the big screen at the Sundance Film Festival Friday night for the first time.
Seeing the reactions of the crowd and getting audience feedback was a great feeling, said Jacobson, assistant professor of theater and film.
"There is nothing quite like seeing your movie on the big screen and seeing the audience reacting very strongly to your work," Jacobson said.
The film was shown six times throughout the festival in Park City, Utah, and each showing had a capacity of 150 people.
The last showing of the film on Friday had standing room only. When Jacobson walked into the theater, people asked him to scalp his ticket.
After the weeklong screening of the film, John Dullaghan, the director, is trying to work out a deal with a distributor to sell the film.
The ability to have conversations with filmmakers around the world was a unique experience, Jacobson said.
While attending the festival, he sat in on a paneled discussion called "Life, love and quantum mechanics." The discussion was hosted by Ira Flatow, the host of National Public Radio's, Science Friday. The panel discussed how the development of technology and science in film is affecting film making.
The screening of the film at Sundance favored the film because it was a documentary. Jacobson said.
"Sundance doesn't discriminate against documentaries," he said. "Most of the time documentaries don't get picked up. If you create a documentary, it is automatically separated from the mainstream Hollywood blockbuster."
The reaction of the audiences at the screenings of the film were positive and many dedicated Bukowski fans came to see the film, Jacobson said.
At one point, some of the people who worked on the film
wanted to get a picture in front of the poster at the festival advertising their film, but someone had stolen the poster, Jacobson said.
Jacobson and Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of theater and film, will screen the film they produced together, Confederate States of America, at Liberty Hall on Feb.21. The film will be shown during the Langston Hughes History week in Lawrence.
Willmott said he wanted Confederate States of America to be picked up by a distributor as Bukowski: Born into this most likely would be.
The funding of an independent film's production usually comes out of the pocket of the director. Willmott said. It can be stressful waiting for the film to sell, but the stress of waiting for the film to be bought is not too bad Willmott said.
"I like to compare making independent films to being a farmer," he said. "You have to harvest the crops but never know how much money you will get for them."
Lawrence McDonald's thrive despite corporation's losses
By Nicole Roche
nroche@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The golden arches are looking a bit tarnished these days.
McDonald's Corp. posted its first quarterly loss, $343.8 million, on Thursday and announced it would close 517 stores in the United States and Japan.
Edited by Jason Elliott
Despite the national slump, local business has not suffered, said Patrick Manning, marketing manager for Lawrence McDonald's.
The Lawrence region finished fourth in sales out of 21 regions in Kansas and Missouri, Manning said.
A new McDonald's recently opened outside town east on I-70, making five Lawrence stores.
"We had a very healthy year in 2002." Manning said.
Economically healthy, yes but some students still see eating McDonald's as a fatty indulgence.
Christine Smith. Topeka junior, said she had been a McDonald's fan since Happy Meals came with plastic Grimaces and fries that transformed into spy cameras.
Admittedly a McDonald's french fry fanatic, Smith said recent obesity lawsuits aimed at the company had curbed her cravings.
"I just don't like spending money on fast food," she said. "And it's bad for you."
Manning said McDonald's began offering a $1 value menu in October, making the restaurant more affordable. Low-fat menu items are also available, according to www.mcdonalds.com.
The grilled chicken caesar salad has 2.5 grams of fat, and the herb vinaigrette salad is fatfree.
Manning said McDonald's Corp.wanted to help open
more stores of its partnered restaurant, Chipotle, because of the Mexican-American restaurant's popularity.
Nearly 200 Chipotle locations have opened nationwide.
Mike Vogel, store manager for Chipotle, 911 Massachusetts St., said McDonald's Corp. had helped provide monetary backing for Chipotle as a financial partner, but the connection between the businesses ended there.
"We're a completely different company," Vogel said. "They're a big investor, but they don't influence us in any way."
Vogel said Chipotle was geared for a college-age group, which may account for its popularity among students.
"You get a quality product for a low price," he said. "Plus you don't have to worry about tipping."

switching professors in the middle of the semester was frustrating.
"The class was pretty close to over when she left, but the time difference between here and Hong Kong made it difficult to get questions answered."
Adams said. "It would take at least 24 hours to get a response." Adams said finals week was especially stressful.
"I was prepared to study for the final, but without the teacher to answer last minute questions, it makes things pretty
tough." Adams said.
Jin understands that her absence made class work difficult for last semester's students. She said in an e-mail that it was difficult for her to respond promptly to questions, and students complained about the unavailability of outside help.
Jin said the economics department has been helpful in finding substitutes for her classes and keeping her connected with students.

Classless trashers, stay home
The official attendance for Monday's game between Kansas and Texas was listed at 16,300.
And 16,200 or so fans indeed filled Allen Fieldhouse. The other 100 people privileged enough to witness what was arguably the best college game so far this season were fools.
Crude, crazed and classless, students soiled the sanctity of the most symbolic basketball setting in the world, and they nearly spoiled the Jayhawks' sensational 90-87 victory over the third-ranked Longhorns.
"I was a little disappointed in the fans for rushing the court," said senior Kirk Hinrich, who before scowling at the silly stormers scored 25 points and helped Kansas break its two-game losing streak. "I love that they're excited about the way we played and about college basketball."
"But we expected to win this game."
So should have the fans.
OK, so Kansas had suffered five losses before Monday. And, yes, the Jajahawks were in danger of suffering three straight setbacks — a feat that hadn't occurred in nearly a decade and one that would certainly cripple crimson and blue cheerers.
But storming the court for likely the first time in school history?
C'mon. Act like Kansas has won a game—let alone 1,785 of them.
"We don't do that at this school." said senior associate athletics director Richard Konzem, who personally strong-armed a couple of the rowdy rushers.
Idiocy won't be tolerated at an institute that has won two national titles or served as the nursery for James Naismith's new-born game.
Monday's win wasn't like Colorado breaking Kansas' 27-game win streak.
Or even a buzzer-beating benchmark like Oklahoma State beating in-state rival Oklahoma earlier this month in Stillwater, Okla.
Kansas had never lost to Texas in Lawrence. Nick Collison's 24-point, 23-rebound game certainly showed that the first time wasn't going to come on his watch.
But a select few fans who had just witnessed Collison's career game acted as Missouri did when it flogged Kansas this fall in football.
All that was missing was a few bottles of Wild Turkey flying in the direction of a Kansas tuba player, a couple of blackclad players hanging from the goal and volla — we have Tiger fans.
Storming the court is nothing new except at Kansas.
It's become a national trend where flocks of fans frolic to the court trying to

Kansas to take on Nebraska
Women aim to keep up conference momentum
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For the Kansas women's basketball team (8-9,1-5). Saturday's victory against Texas A&M could be a sign of things to come as the Big 12 Conference season continues.
Tonight, the Jayhawks return to Allen Fieldhouse to host the Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-9, 0-5). The Huskers are looking to put a halt to their current sevengame losing streak. In her first year as Nebraska's coach, Connie Yoris has her team playing a different style than what has been seen in the past couple unsuccessful seasons.
"I think Nebraska, with their aggressiveness and their ability to get to the rim and get to the free throw line, I think those past few years have really hurt us as a team," coach Marian Washington said. "Hopefully, we will be able to do a better job against them on Wednesday."
For the Jayhawks, the two biggest keys to their recent success have been the reemergence offensively of sophomore guard Aquanita Burras and freshman forward Crystal Kemp.
In the team's victory on Saturday night, Burras and Kemp combined for 35 points after both had been suffering from recent scoring slumps.

"The freshmen are not as sensitive about what happened last year as the sophomores and juniors are," Washington said. "You would have thought we had won the Super Bowl."
Washington said the team was working hard, and had been in a lot of ball games, but they just hadn't been able to finish.
"To be able to finish a game finally was just a real confidence booster," she said.
For the Jayhawks, a victory against Nebraska is achievable and would help the team's confidence with eighth-ranked Texas Tech coming to town Saturday.

Nebraska seeks first conference victory
By Shane Mettlen
By Shane Mettlen smettlen@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Nebraska women's basketball team is in a situation Kansas is all too familiar with.
The Huskers (7-9 overall, 0-5 in Big 12 Conference) will be desperately searching for their first conference win of the season when they come to Allen Fieldhouse to take on the Jayhawks at 7:05 tonight. Kansas had lost 21 straight in the Big 12 before winning at Texas A&M Saturday. Despite the struggles of both teams, tonight's game should be hotly contested.
"We did a lot of things better in the second half against Texas A&M," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "All those things certainly will give us some momentum, but Nebraska's a very good ball club. They've got some players with good experience."
Despite her team's trouble, Nebraska coach Connie Yori is happy with some aspects of the Husker's play.
"Our effort was there, and that is why it hurts more," Yori said after her team's 58-53 loss to Iowa State Saturday. "We really came out and fought and scrapped. It would have been nice to come away with a win."
NATIONAL
Washington expects to see a similar effort from the Huskers in tonight's contest.
"The team that will come in Wednesday will be a very good team looking for a win," Washington said.
For Kansas now, the test will be to find some consistency after finally being able to break into the conference victory column.

No, those were not pigs flying. Hell is as warm as ever, but yes, that was Norm Stewart receiving a standing ovation at Allen Fieldhouse Monday night.
Kansas honored the former Missouri men's basketball coach in a pregame ceremony before the Jayhawks' 90-87 victory over the Texas Longhorns. The heated rivalry between Kansas and Missouri was seemingly put on hold as Jayhawk fans rose to congratulate Stewart as he was presented a rocking chair, symbolic of the "Sit down Norm" chant nod
ular in Allen Fieldhouse during Stewart's coaching tenure.
The decision to honor the rival coach was not unprecedented. Former Kansas State coach Jack Hartman was presented with a set of golf clubs after retiring. The choice to recognize Stewart was about more than his coaching success.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said it was noteworthy for Kansas to recognize the accomplishments of a neighboring institution from the Big 12 Conference.
"And not just on the basketball court." Williams said. "Probably more important, what Norm did with the Coaches

Arizona's 'sweet' tooth chomps on local hotel
Three Arizona basketball players were allegedly involved in a theft Thursday at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, said Lt. David Cobb of the Lawrence Police Department.
Stuart Schwartz, a guest staying at the hotel, 1 Riverfront Plaza, saw two African-American males, one of whom he identified as Selim Stoudamire, taking candy from a vending machine, Cobb said.
Schwartz was walking down the hallway at about 10:40 p.m. when he saw Luke Walton. As Schwartz continued walking, he saw two other players taking items out of the vending machine to his right. About 80 items and additional money in coins
were taken from the vending machine.
Lawrence police officers went to Allen Fieldhouse and contacted Arizona associate coach Jim Rosborough and assistant coaches Rodney Tention and Josh Pastner. Officers told them the hotel wanted an apology and monetary compensation for the stolen items.
Schwartz told assistant manager Michael Moore what he had seen when he checked out the next morning. Cobb said.
The coaches agreed to take care of the problem and did so immediately, according to the police report.
Moore said the players caused no additional disturbances.

Collison capitalizes in Monday's showdown
With 24 points and a career-high 23 rebounds, Collison ended Monday night's game 13th on Kansas's all-time single-game rebounding list. A game that ended in a 90-87 upset of No. 3 Texas. A game he said in a post game interview was a must-win for Kansas. He even received a standing ovation from veteran broadcaster Dick Vitale on press row.
But more importantly, Nick Collison knows when to shine.
Nick Collison knows how to shine.
Not only was the game seen by 16,300 fans in Allen Fieldhouse and millions more on ESPN's Big Monday, it was seen by 24 NBA scouts on the baseline of the Fieldhouse.
"If those NBA scouts sitting over there tonight," Kansas coach Roy William's told reporters after the game, "if they look at that guy and they say that there is anybody in the world who has a bigger heart than that sucker then they are damn blind. He just battled his butt off."
Coach is right. Collison proved to the scouts that he is a legitimate top-20 pick. At press time yesterday, "The NBA Draft Report" by NBA scout John Thompson (www.nbadraftreport.com) had Collison as a probable 13th pick in the first round. A number that is sure to rise after his performance against Texas.
But after the game, Collison didn't attribute his solid performance to the scouts. He wasn't playing for a place in the draft. The Iowa Falls, Iowa, senior told reporters he was playing for his team, for its ranking and for its honor on its home court. He told ESPN as he ran off the court that he couldn't lose two in a row in the Fieldhouse.
"I just felt like we needed it," Collison said of his performance. "We needed a win badly. I went into the game with an attitude that I wanted to be very aggressive on the offensive end and just wanted to play as hard as I could."
Collison will be a top-10 draft pick if he continues to dominate. But the key will be consistency. He must continue to play at that level — or at least with that much heart — to be secured a top spot, shining in the draft come June.

players are currently playing this season. Three suffered season-ending injuries, two are from the volleyball team (one is a walk-on), and three are freshmen walk-ons. So Kansas needs to wear down Nebraska and/or get the 'Huskers' starters into foul trouble to force them to use their highly inexperienced bench. Kansas needs to score the majority of its points in the paint with Tamara Ransburg and Crystal Kemp, whose combined averages are 21.4 points per game. Kansas must do a better job in defending the three-point line, ranked last in the Big 12.

Tampa Bay commemorates victory
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. Warren Sapp blew kisses to the crowd, and coach Jon Gruden received the key to the city as an estimated 100,000 people lined the streets of downtown Tampa yesterday to celebrate the Buccaneers' Super Bowl victory.
Fans clad in the team's red and pewter colors waved banners and chanted "Defense!" and "Tampa Bay!" as the Buccaneers rode in convertibles and pick-up trucks in a parade in their honor.
"This is about you Tampa. I love you," running back Mike Alstott told the crowd.
Tampa Mayor Dick Greco, flanked by mayors from Clearwater and St. Petersburg, presented Gruden the key to the city and said Tampa owed him "a million thanks."
"There's a storm warning out there," Gruden said. "We've got a heck of a football team, and we're just getting started."
Tampa Bay won its first Super Bowl title Sunday, beating the Oakland Raiders 48-21 in San Diego
"I was raised in San Diego, but my hometown is Tampa," safety John Lynch said. "I've been here 10 years, and I've waited a long time to do this, so help me out — We're No.1! We're No.1!"
Sapp added: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Some of the loudest cheers were for defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who received permission to speak to the San Francisco 49ers about their vacant coaching job.
Kiffin is the man responsible for building the Bucanees into the NFL's No. 1-ranked defense,
which dominated the Raiders.
Fans chanted "Stay, Monte, stay!" as the 62-year-old Kiffin made his way to the front of the dais. He made no mention of plans for the future.
"You're the greatest fans in the world," Kiffin said. "We love ya. Let's come back."
Long-suffering Buccaneers supporters waited 27 years for a championship. The frustration turned into elation Monday as they rushed to stores across the region to buy anything commemorating the Super Bowl triumph.
'Sporting News' names NFL All-Pro team
The Associated Press
ST.LOUIS Oakland quarterback Rich Gannon, whose record-setting season led the Raiders to their first Super Bowl appearance in 18 years, was named player of the year by the Sporting News.
The publication also honored Philadelphia's Andy Reid as coach of the year and Denver running back Clinton Portis as the top rookie.
Gannon set an NFL record with 418 completions and passed
for 4,689 yards.
Sporting News editor John Rawlings said Gannon was an elite player.
"His leadership, skill and toughness is what helped guide the Oakland Raiders to the Super Bowl," he said.
Reid guided the Eagles to a 12-4 record and a spot in the NFC championship game.
Portis rushed for 1,508 yards, the fifth-most ever by a rookie, and 17 touchdowns.
The Sporting News also named its 2002 All-Pro team:
Offense: Wide receivers Marvin Harrison of Indianapolis and Terrell Owens of San Francisco; tight end Tony Gonzalez of Kansas City; tackles Jonathan Ogden of Baltimore and Tra Thomas of Philadelphia; guards Alan Faneca of Pittsburgh and Will Shields of Kansas City; center Kevin Mawae of the New York Jets; quarterback Gannon; running backs Priest Holmes of Kansas City and Ricky Williams of Miami.
Defense: Ends Simeon Rice of Tampa Bay and Jason Taylor of
Miami; tackles La'Roi Glover of Dallas and Warren Sapp of Tampa Bay; linebackers Derrick Brooks of Tampa Bay, Joey Porter of Pittsburgh and Brian Urlacher of Chicago; cornerbacks Aaron Glenn of Houston and Patrick Surtain of Miami; safeties Brian Dawkins of Philadelphia and Darren Sharper of Green Bay.
Specialists: Kicker David Akers of Philadelphia; punter Todd Sauerburn of Carolina; kick returner Michael Lewis of New Orleans; punt returner Santana Moss of the Jets.

University of Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. — Missouri's Ricky Clemons comes to Lincoln Wednesday, bringing with him a pending criminal trial and the controversy surrounding his reinstatement to the University of Missouri basketball team.
Missouri Coach Quin Snyder again defended Clemons' right to play during Monday's Big 12 teleconference.
"I understand that people can debate that issue," Snyder said. "The situation that I'm in, I feel like standing beside this young man is the right thing to do."
Clemons, Mizzou's point guard and leading scorer, was arrested on a charge of second-degree aggravated assault after allegedly choking and restraining a 20-year-old woman on Jan. 16.
The arrest is Clemons' second involving domestic violence. Twin Falls, Idaho, police charged him with aggravated battery in 2001 after Clemons' then-girlfriend alleged he struck her
across the face and choked her.
Athletic Director Mike Alden and Coach Quin Snyder reinstated the starting point guard after a one-game suspension, citing Clemons' claim of innocence as one of their reasons.
The case likely won't be decided until after the season. An arraignment originally scheduled for Wednesday has been moved to Feb. 11 and any trial won't occur until late spring, said Clemons' attorney.
University of Nebraska Coach Barry Collier hopes Nebraska's fans won't respond negatively to Clemons' appearance on Wednesday night.
Snyder, meanwhile, is bracing Missouri for further backlash.
The MU coach said he'd talked with his team about the environment Mizzou will face on the road. Several one-on-one meetings with Clemons have prepared him for abuse to come, Snyder said.
"I'vetold him,'Your focus has to stay on your teammates, on the game. Keep your focus there.' That's all you can really do," Snyder said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 29)
True, you're under pressure this year, but it's for your own good. If you force yourself to stick to a strict schedule, you'll accomplish great things. Your biggest challenge is to overcome your own self-doubts, but you can do it.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a
7.
A painful memory comes, not to haunt you but to warn you of present dangers. Humility is a better tool than arrogance. Use it to achieve your goal.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
I thoughts of distant friends and favorite faraway places could have you gazing out the window. Don't be blue. Make a phone call. It's a good investment in your mental health.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
You're generally gregarious - interested in everything and always the first to ask questions. Give it a rest. Let somebody else shine. It'll be relaxing.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
You're the brains behind the operation, with help from an expert or two. Everybody thinks you're all-powerful. Smile knowingly. Don't argue.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
The awful truth may be that production can't keep up with your marvelous expectations. Verbal and physical abuse just makes matters worse. Try compassion.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Make time for a special person, just for the fun of it. Especially now, when you're so busy, it'll do you both a world of good.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
A private conversation with a close family member is a valuable use of your time. One of you, or possibly both of you, will feel much better later.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Even if you're in a tough spot, you can think your way out of it. Don't let a previous failure hit you down.
Learn from it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a7.
If you're temporarily shy, encourage another to interface with the public on your behalf. They won't mind, and that'll give you time to ponder things before taking further action.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
An issue you've been struggling with is finally subsiding. You may not get rid of it, but you can get along. From now on, it will make you stronger.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Make time for contemplation and recuperation. It's wise to review past successes and failures before launching a new endeavor. Launch it late Friday.
Pisces(Feb.19-March20). Today is a 7.
You may think the friends who are telling you that you've done a good job don't really know what they're talking about. Thank them graciously anyway. Accept their gift.

Baseball starts strong
By Daniel Berk
dberk@kansan.com
kansan sportswoman
The Kansas baseball team started its season last weekend playing six games in three days in Hilo, Hawaii. The Jayhawks returned home with a 4-2 record.
The Jaghawks began their 2003 campaign splitting a doubleheader. Kansas dropped the first game 8-7 but regrouped and defeated the Hawai-Iilo Vulcans 9-3 in the second game.
During Kansas' first two games, junior Matt Trible performed strongly on the offense going 5-7 from the plate. Senior Kevin Wheeler and junior Ryan Baty also had solid days as they both went 4-4, and each recorded his first home run of the season.
"They have to be impact players for us," Kansas coach Ritch Price said about Tribble, Wheeler and Baty. "Those three are key to our success."
Senior Pat Holmes and Junior Ryan Knippschild started the two games for Kansas. Knippschild recorded a complete game victory in the second game. He allowed 3 runs on seven hits and struck out seven batters while walking no one.
Kansas split the doubleheader on the second day,losing the first game 7-4 and winning the second,9-4. Freshman Blake Howard recorded the loss,while junior Chris Smart picked up the victory in the second game.
"I think our pitching could be the strong point of this team," freshman infielder Matt Baty said. "We are going to hit the ball and play defense, so all they need to do is get the batters out."
Ryan Baty had another solid day batting as he went 5-6 on the day and had three RBI and scored three times.
The Jayhawks swept the Vulcans, 5-3 and 6-0, on the final day of the road trip. Once again, Ryan
Baty led the charge and moved his team leading batting average to .619. Senior Lance Hayes added a 2-3 day at the plate during the team's second game.
Sophomore Kenny Falconer and Wheeler recorded the teams two victories. Falconer did not allow a hit until the fourth inning and later exited after the sixth inning. Wheeler pitched seven innings of shutout baseball for Kansas while throwing 59 pitches.
All in all, Price is calling the trip a successful one.
"I feel very good about the trip." Price said. "We put our team in game speed, and pitched all 11 pitchers we brought. We definitely had some growing pains, but we also took some steps forward."
Kansas will not play again until Feb. 7, when the team travels to take on the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

It happened last year when UCLA knocked off the Jayhawks in Pauley Pavilion. Yeah, freakin' UCLA — which has more national championship than most humans have fingers, winning 11.
But ESPN college basketball analyst Andy Katz was one of the few who could see how fanatics, even at a place as tradition-rich
"It was an exception because they were really excited and Kansas was struggling." Katz said. "But they better be careful where they pick their spots, you wouldn't want this to happen often."
and revered as Kansas, fell to the temptation of court storming.
Yeah, like not at all.
OK, maybe if there is ever a time in the future where Kansas is in the midst of a 20-game losing streak and down 15 points to No. 1 Kansas State at half time. And Roy Williams' grandson, who is
nts first-game after transterring from North Carolina in an attempt to rekindle the fallen Jayhawk spirit, scores 40 points in the second half — including the game-winner with a second left. Then all 630 fans in attendance have the right to, as Jack Buck famously said, "Go Crazy!"
Or next time just stay off it.
Until then, listen to the other 16,200 people screaming. "Get off the court! Get off the court!"

"The guy deserves it," Bishop said. "He did raise a lot of money for charity."
Versus Cancer Three-Point Attack, because he is the one individual that pushed that across the country, and we've raised millions and millions of dollars on that."
Williams thought the ceremony was an indication of what Kansas was all about.
Jason Bishop, Topeka sophomore, agreed but wasn't sure Missouri would return the gesture.
"This is a unique place," Williams said. "We don't just talk sportsmanship; we act. We don't just talk class; we act it. And we do appreciate great competitors. That's not to say that I liked him during any game that I coached against him, but
our fans, and myself included,
did have a great deal of respect
for the job that he did."
Not all fans wanted to honor Stewart.
"I didn't like him when he was coaching Missouri, and I still don't like him," Ty Pfannenstiel, Ness City senior said. "I didn't think we should all cheer for him just because Roy said we should cheer for him."

Parking petition bill passed
By Cate Batchleder
cbatchleder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate will collect signatures for a petition to increase student parking in lots on campus.
The petition, which was approved at last night's Senate meeting, advocates that students be allowed to park in lots near Summerfield, Haworth and Malott halls and the Multicultural Resource Center at 5 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m., the current restriction.
Kristen Reinert, Lenexa senior, uses the MRC for its
computer lab in the late afternoons. Last semester, she drove to the MRC, but when she returned to her car, she saw the pink envelope containing a $20 parking
What happened: A bill was passed for a petition to request increased student parking next Summerfield, Haworth and Mallet halls. What it means: Parking lots 35 and 37 would open to student parking at 5 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m. What's next? The petition will go to the Parking Commission for discussion at its next meeting in mid-February.
"If people have to pay $100 a year for a parking permit that probably doesn't even cover this parking lot, there's really no motivation to come here," she said.
ticket.
Reinert said the parking situation was not convenient and was not giving business to the center.
Reinert said part of the problem was that the sign informing drivers of the time restrictions was not visible.

Referee earns cash blowing her own whistle
Every face in the crowd and every name in the phonebook has a story behind it. Every week, Kansan writer Megan Hickerson tells the story of a randomly selected KU student.
By Megan Hickerson
Kansan staff writer
mhickerson@kansan.com
Kerry Hermes knows what she's talking about when she disagrees with a referee's call at a University of Kansas basketball game.
Faces in the Crowd
Hermes has been refereeing basketball games since her sophomore year in high school.
"I still wanted to be involved in the sport." Hermes said.
The White Bear Lake, Minn., sophomore had played basketball since she was 9 years old, and when she didn't make her school's basketball team her sophomore year, she got involved in refereeing. Hermes began refereeing alongside her dad, who referees in his spare time.
Hermes referees for fifth- and sixth-graders in the Lawrence public school system, which paid her $8 per game.
Hermes found out about refereeing in Lawrence at her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta.
"It's an easy way to make some cash," Hermes said. "All I had to do was go to a meeting."
Hermes prefers refereeing fifth- and sixth-graders because they know how to follow the rules, but they aren't too serious about it.
"It's pretty laid back because they are not that competitive yet," Hermes said. "It's mostly developmental."

New student travel agency moves into Kansas Union
STA

Kevin Liu, STA employee, outlines the travel itinerary for Kelly Mipanyarack, Kansas City, Kan., senior, who is leaving for Italy over spring break. STA, a travel agency on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union, opened in December.
The University of Kansas Memorial Corporation is bringing business to the Kansas Union to increase the services available to students and make them more accessible.
There is more space in the Union from renovations, David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, said. An STA travel agency moved in on the fourth floor, and other businesses are on the way.
"The travel agency is geared toward the students," Mucci said. "We want to make the Union more attractive, youthful and viable."
Kellev Weiss/Kansan
The STA travel agency is in the space Mail Boxes Etc. used to occupy. The printing and mail service store could not sustain itself, Mucci said.
Enticing students who might not think about traveling is the goal of STA, Mucci said. STA acquired Council Travel, a former Lawrence business, after it went out of business last spring.
The new ownership and location has helped business, Kevin Liu, STA employee, said. He said about 20 people use STA services every day.
"STA is in a better location because of walk-by visibility for students," Liu said, "and our daily sales have increased compared to Council Travel."
Kate Harding, president of the Memorial Corporation, helped make the decision to bring STA travel to the Union. About a year ago, STA approached the board with an offer to move into the space.
The purpose of the Union is to offer students services, Harding said. STA is more accessible because students don't have to go off campus and there is more parking.
Kelly Mipanyarack, Kansas City senior, said she had used the student travel services before and thinks they have good prices.
"It's much more efficient for me
because I go through the Union a lot on my way to my car," she said.
Bringing new business to the Union is a goal. Mucci said.
In mid-February, a Great Clips will open on the third floor. At the beginning of March, a T-mobile cell phone operation will also open on the third floor.
There is a third space open for a new business, but the Union has yet not been able to find someone to fill it, Mucci said.

Alumnus lands job producing cable show

Kansan staff writer
As he walked past Strong Hall on a snowy December night in 1989, Stewart Bailey thought about how much he would miss the University of Kansas. He had just finished his last final exam and was uncertain about what his future would bring.
Now, 13 years after his graduation, Bailey finds himself as the coexecutive producer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. He was promoted to the position in December.
"I hope they don't ever catch on that I'm not really that smart or funny. Then I won't have a job."
Stewart Bailey Co-executive producer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
"It's insane to pretend I have this title. You just kind of pinch yourself," Bailey said. "I hope they don't ever catch on that smart or funny. They
ever catch on that I'm not really that smart or funny. Then I won't have a job."
Two weeks after his KU graduation, Bailey, a Topeka native, found himself on a plane to New York City with a one-way ticket, $200 and an interview with NBC. The interview was for a job as a page at the NBC studios.
Bailey said that after he found out the show interviewed 2,500 people each year and hired only 50, he wished he would have gotten a round-trip ticket. "For some reason I thought the job was a much bigger deal than it really was," Bailey said.
Bailey considers himself fortunate that he got the job at NBC. He worked odd jobs to supplement his minimal income from NBC and lived off a $2-a-day food allowance. He could afford a hot dog and a Diet Coke from street food vendors, Bailey said.
Sarah Bailey, Stewart's mother, said he was sleeping on a friend's couch." The bathroom was down the hall," she said. "It definitely wasn't prime New York living space."
After his job as a page, Bailey went on to work for shows such as Saturday Night Live and Late Show with David Letterman.
Bailey said working for the Late Show was fun because he was a fan of what he was doing. "I would see Letterman's desk and say to myself, 'Wow,' Bailey said. "It was kind of amazing."
Bailey said his love of news and comedy led him to the job at The Daily Show. Bailey worked on a previous Jon Stewart show on MTV, and when Stewart moved to Comedy Central, Bailey immediately applied for and received a position. Bailey has worked for the show about six and a half years, he said. One of the most visible responsibilities Bailey has at the comedy news show is producing field pieces with correspondents.
Bailey said he felt good in his current position. He doesn't think that success should be measured in monetary values but rather personal satisfaction.
"You have to feel good about what you are doing," Bailey said. "Yes, titles are nice, but that isn't everything."
Even now, Bailey still keeps up on the University, especially Jayhawk basketball. One of Bailey's most memorable moments while at the University was when the basketball team won the National Championship in 1988.

Oread neighborhood urges students to attend meeting
The Oread Neighborhood Association holds its winter meeting at 7:30 tonight at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
Everyone is invited to attend the meeting "KU-Neighborhood Relations," particularly KU students, staff and faculty, said neighborhood association coordinator Charlie Goff III.
"Oread is about 80 percent populated by students," Goff said. "They make up a large part of our community, and we'd love to have them there."
KU community liaison, Jeff Weiberg, is the featured speaker.
Goff expects residents and University officials to discuss issues ranging from the construction of scholarship halls on Ohio Street to University air conditioning systems.

Bill requires proof to apply for licenses
TOPEKA—A bill requiring Kansans to provide certain proof of identity when getting driver's licenses received tentative Senate approval yesterday.
Touted by supporters as offering protection against identity theft, the measure advanced to final Senate
action on a voice vote.
The bill requires people applying for driver's licenses or state identification cards to provide their Social Security numbers or taxpayer ID numbers. Alternatively, they could sign statement saying they were legal residents.
Starting in July 2004, the state would have to verify Social Security or taxpayer numbers or "foundation" documents, such as birth certificates.
To cover the estimated $1.5 million cost to the state, the bill includes a $2 increase in the $15 fee for a six-year driver's license.
Consideration rejected for open-meetings lawsuit
TOPEKA — The Kansas Supreme Court yesterday rejected a request from 14 news organizations to grant early consideration of an open meetings lawsuit against Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
The court refused to take the case directly from Shawnee County District Court. The case is pending before the Kansas Court of Appeals, which typically takes about 18 months to rule.
A Shawnee County judge ruled Jan 6 that five government review teams appointed by Sebelius after her November election did not have to hold open meetings before Sebelius' Jan.13 inauguration.
The teams held 18 closed meetings in November and December, during Sebelius' transition period, to study how to make government more efficient. They became subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act only when Sebelius took office.
The Associated Press, Kansas Press Association, Kansas Association of Broadcasters and 11 newspapers brought the lawsuit.
The Supreme Court sometimes removes cases from the Court of Appeals when it appears an appeal is likely no matter how the lower appellate court rules.
Mike Merriam, the news organizations' attorney, said he was disappointed.
"It didn't really change anything for us," Sebellius representative Nicole Corcoran-Basso said.

Multicultural scholars program receives push
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Janet Murguia told a group of about 50 students in the Multicultural Scholars program yesterday that the American dream was out there.
"You can make it happen for you," said Murguia, executive vice chancellor for University Relations. "You are only limited by the dreams and abilities you set for yourself."
Murguia is a first-generation Hispanic American and a KU graduate who served in the White House in various capacities for six years. Yesterday in Summerfield Hall, she challenged scholars program students to take their education beyond undergraduate degrees.
The Multicultural Scholars program began in the School of Business in 1992 to provide scholarships and social and academic enrichment for minority undergraduate students at KU. The program expanded in 2001 to include programs in the areas of education and journalism and mass communications.
This semester, it will include minority students in human development, family life, African and African-American studies. About 60 students are participating in the program.
Renate Mai-Dalton, associate professor of business, began the scholars program for the School of Business and now directs the Multicultural Scholars program for the University.
had an undergraduate retention rate of 85 percent since it began
Mai-Dalton said the program
That rate is consistent with Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goal of increasing minority student numbers at the University, said Lisa Pinamonti, interim director of admissions and scholarships.
Yesterday's meeting allowed the students to meet with fellow students in their areas of study, and they had to meet with an adviser.
The meetings allows us to connect with other students in our classes, said Marcos San Martin, Wichita sophomore.
"We can base our classes off each other, and then we go through it together," he said.

Forum addresses religion
Last night, a panel of eight representatives discussed and answered questions about the differences between the panelists' belief systems.
Student Union Activities presented "Are You Spiritual?": A Forum about Religion" at the Kansas Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
A panel of students, clergy and faculty represented seven religions and atheism.
The representatives gave a brief history of their beliefs and answered questions from the audience of about 100 people.
Grant Randall, Baxter Springs senior and forum mediator, said he hoped to keep the discussion civil.
Edited by Todd Rapp
Randall asked several "hot topic" questions that examined religious issues such as gay and lesbian clergy, Catholic church scandals and the of role Muslim Americans in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Audience questions ranged from "Who can lead a Muslim prayer service?" to "Why does the Catholic Church place so much emphasis on Mary?" to "Why does Wicca reflect a more feminist tradition?"
Larissa Rothe, Wiccan-Pagan Alliance president and Omaha senior, represented the Wiccan faith.
"The questions were respectful," Rothe said. "No one asked if I ate children."
The event attracted students with unique perspectives. Bala Baskaran, South India graduate student, was born a Hindu in India but was raised in Saudi
Arabia, a primarily Muslim country.
He is now Christian. Baskaran said he listened for disputes between the speakers.
He said he hoped for a peaceful coexistence between forum members and between people of different beliefs around the world.
Greg Brown, professor at Pittsburg State University, was scheduled to represent Buddhism but did not attend because of health reasons.
"I loved listening to what they were saying," said Chris Kittle, president of the Latterday Saint Student Organization and Leavenworth senior. "It was nice to find things we have in common. You're really closer than you think."
Conference to gather HALO groups from nearby schools
Edited by Andrew Ward

Kansan staff writer
Last week the United States Census Bureau announced Hispanic Americans were the largest minority group in the country.
The announcement was a challenge to members of Hispanic American Leadership Organization.
"It's a number that carries great weight, but it doesn't mean anything if we don't do something with it," said Raymond Rico, HALO's sergeant at arms and Kansas City, Kan., sophomore. "I feel we could be easily overlooked if we aren't united."
For Rico and the other members of the University's HALO chapter, the push to take advantage of their strength in numbers starts now.
This weekend, the KU organization will host the HALO regional conference, a weekend event designed to bring Hispanic-American college students throughout Kansas and Missouri together.
Melanie Weiser, HALO's president and Dallas junior, said this weekend would be an opportunity to build cooperation and understanding with other HALO groups throughout the region.
"We're hoping to strengthen our bonds both within our group and with the other HALOs," Weiser said.
THE HALO regional meeting for Kansas and Missouri usually takes place once a semester. Weiser said.
The conference site is rotated between Kansas State University, Wichita State University and KU.
to attend. The conference is open to anyone who wants to attend.
the conference focuses on issues common to HALOs throughout the region.
Issues such as a affirmative action, minorities in education and Hispanic prominence within the United States will be discussed, Weiser said.
Weiser said the conference would address how HALO could help its own people. "We want to stress the importance of education and social action," she said.
She said that aside from national Hispanic issues, HALO's regional conference offered the opportunity to learn more about other campuses' issues.
"Since all these colleges are so spread out, it gives us a better perspective," she said. "We can hear
about things they're going through that we might not have known about."
Among the activities planned for the weekend, Weiser said a social is scheduled for tomorrow night at La Tasca, 943 Massachusetts St.
Weiser said one of the biggest goals of this year's conference was to see whether the groups could meet more than twice a year.
"We're hoping to get a lot of the visitors to the social," Weiser said. "It gives us a chance to get to know each other and celebrate our own diversity within HALO."
"We're trying to bring everyone together like a big family," she said. "And hopefully we can expand the program."

Campus relies on whistle
The steam whistle is out again - it blew 25 feet into the air. Without its
piercing noise, campus is left in an earie silence.
The whistle needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Fortunately, the Kansas University Endowment Association has set up a fund to offset the cost of a new whistle.
This is an excellent fund for students to support. Although it deafens students leaving Blake Hall at 10:20 a.m., the whistle does serve an important purpose.
Some of our distinguished professors have served the University for years. During their careers educating bright-eyed Jayhawks many must have misplaced their watches. They've become dependent on the whistle to tell them when it's time to conclude lectures in each class.
We need that whistle so the overextension of one stimulating class does not lead to tardiness in the next.
According to representatives of Facilities Operations, it could be a few weeks before the whistle is replaced. But far be it for anyone to cast blame on Facilities Operations, especially in light of the department's history of timely snow removal.
Instead of complaining, send a few dollars to the new Endowment fund by visiting kuendowment.org. You'll get to enjoy a deafening reminder of your charity by the hour.

PERSPECTIVE
Terrorists win in hidden ways
Patrick Henry once said, "Give me liberty, or give me death." This bold statement summed the feelings of the brave rebels who gladly endangered their lives for the opportunity for freedom more than two centuries ago. It is nothing short of remarkable that these fearless souls would build a legacy of politicians who would gladly fork over every freedom they could surrender at the first hint of danger.
Since Sept. 11,2001,the president. Congress and the attorney general have engineered a frightening series of challenges to the rights of noncitizens.In doing this,they've jeopardized the system of checks and balances that has kept our government working for more than 200 years.
A secretive immigrant hunt that has been compared to the Japanese-American internment camps of World War II began after that infamous date. By November 2001,1,147 immigrants, mostly from the Middle East and South Asia, had been taken into custody with little explanation. (The Justice Department stopped providing the number of

people detained shortly thereafter.)
Sam Lane
opinton@kansan.com
A month later, the Justice Department authorized prison officials to monitor communications between detainees and their lawyers without court order.
These measures essentially allow immigrants to be shipped off to gulag with even the accusation of terrorism and sometimes without even that much. Tearing away the rights of immigrants to fair trials is by appearance an outright attack on the power of the judicial system, one of only three branches of government that keeps our democracy from becoming a dictatorship. If this mockery of due process is restricted to noncitizens, it is more insidious. It sets the precedent that an immigrant is considered less of a person than a citizen, and doing this undermines the ideals of equality and inalienable rights that this nation was based on.
When the terrorists, the real ones, planned their suicide attacks they surely could not have known how they would succeed. They scared politicians into sacrificing everything American on the altar of security. The odds of anyone on American soil being killed by terrorists is still about a billion to one, yet our leaders strip us of our rights as fast as they can type up the legislation. The odds of dying in a car wreck are still vastly greater, but where is the CIA when we need our highways scrutinized?
Our founding fathers are surely looking down on us in shame as we throw away all that they fought and died for. And when the government is stripped of its last check and balance and degenerates into an autocracy, Osama — if he's still alive — will spend the rest of his life laughing.

PERSPECTIVI
Start thinking of music as a cultural commodity
A federal court ruling last week paved the way for the music industry to sue those who make copyrighted songs available for download from home computers, reinvigorating the debate over illegal online song swapping. It recalled to mind an idea my freshman-year roommates and I discussed ac we downloaded hordes of free music in Lewis Hall. The idea is this: America's public libraries need to adopt a system of online file-sharing.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Jay Krall opinion@hansan.com
Just imagine the country's more than 9,000 public libraries, many of them underfunded by local property taxes, having multiple copies of nearly every book written. Then imagine the library delivering books right to your house. Your mom would give the book carrier a holiday greeting card every year just as she does for the letter carrier and the paper boy.
Obviously, this is a foolish dream of an intellectual utopia in which taxpayers hand over piles of cash in the name of reading and learning.
Let's consider a more modern version of the concept. Make the library's catalog
Or is it?
While more libraries, particularly at universities, are offering free e-books, most community libraries have yet to get on board. Publishers shudder at the thought of the effect public e-libraries could have on the sales of old-fashioned ink-and-paper books. The same concept has sent the recording industry, from Nashville to Los Angeles, shaking in its boots about online file sharing. Though the industry is already experimenting with pay-to-play download services, let's face it: As long as free services are around, record companies won't make
In the wake of Napster's demise, forward-thinking record company executives discussed cashing in on Internet file swapping by setting up their own file-sharing services for profit. But that was almost two years ago.
The system might work like this: The federal government creates a Napster-like service, for which users pay a monthly fee and download unlimited amounts of music. The money is then redistributed to artists' labels in proportion to the number of users who download the songs. When 12 million people download the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album, Flea and company get paid more than Rusty Hudelson's Yodeling yodeling duets for his unsuccessful new release. That would appease even Metallica, whose members pleaded with Congress last summer to rein over the Napster copycats.
They still don't have their acts
big bucks selling songs for download. That leaves me wondering. In the face of technology, why not treat music as a cultural commodity and turn online music sharing over to government regulators?
Going a step further, we could make the service free and subsidized with taxes. The demand exists. More than 40 million Americans, about one-fifth of the adult population, have downloaded free music online, according to a survey conducted last June by Ipsos-Reid, a Minneapolis market-research firm.
It sounds silly to give tax money to huge media companies until you consider that America's public libraries spent almost $1 billion on their collections in 2000, according to the federal Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics. Much of that tax money is headed into the deep pockets of big publishing houses such as Random House and Simon and Schuster Inc.
together. It's time we demand that the federal government step in.
But most taxpayers are OK with that. Our society views books as a cultural commodity, which everyone has rights to regardless of whether they can afford it. We don't think of music in that way, but we should.

Students buy and display tiny, controversial Homies
By Nicole Roché
nroche@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
While Ben Koven's roommate was overseas, Koven borrowed some change and bought some new friends.
Homies, that is.
Homies, inch-tall plastic figurines that depict Hispanic Americans in careers from priests to professors, were created by Los Angeles artist David Gonzales in 1998.
Shortly after their introduction, the Los Angeles Police Department said the figurines encouraged gang violence, according to a May 1999 Los Angeles Times article. Homies were banned in the Los Angeles area, but eventually found their way across the country. Now more than 100 Homies characters are sold nationwide.
While initial controversy pegged the figurines as racist,
Lawrence collectors say they don't see the problem.
Koven, Overland Park senior, said although the figurines were predominantly Hispanic, there were some from every race.
Koven had 24 Homies, he said, and among his favorites were "Joker Child," which looks like one of the painted members from the band Insane Clown Posse, and "O.G." a man holding the Mexican flag.
Koven, who is Caucasian, said the Homies represented a closelyknit Hispanic-American community. He said they did not perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
Chandler McCune, Leawood freshman, said he was unsure what to think about the figurines.
McCune said that to an extent the figurines were racist and stereotypical, but other figurines such as Barbie also can be stereotypical.
"They take this white girl and make her look provocative."
McCune said. "It's the same thing."
Juan Izaguirre, Lincoln, Neb,
graduate student, wore a Homies shirt in his senior picture.
Izaguirre, a Hispanic-American graduate student from Lincoln, Neb., is the assistant director for Hawk Link, the University's freshman retention program.
Ben Koven, Overland Park senior, eyes his collection of Homies. Homies have drawn racial controversy, but Koven said they didn't perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
Though Izaguirre had some interest in Homies while in high school, he said, he can understand why people might see them as controversial.
"Either they're a street gang member or a provocative female," he said. "But it's just a caricature of those Homie people."
AndySamuelsson/Kansan
Sometimes Homie dolls are reminders of family members, said Claudio Mercado, assistant director for admissions and scholarships.
Although Izaguirre no longer owns any Homies, he said, they were a piece of culture and a way for Hispanic-Americans to remember their youth.
Mercado said she kept about 50 Homies in her office next to pictures of family and friends.
"I have all my Homies with my Homies," she said.
She said one Homie, "Flaco," which means "skinny" in Spanish, was reminiscent of her lanky
goofy-looking uncle.
Mercado said she had seen Homies at Hastings Books, Music & Video, 1900 W.23rd St., in 1999 and had become interested in the figurines. Other local Homie vendors include 7th Heaven, 1000 Massachusetts St., and Royal Crest Lanes, Ninth and Iowa Streets.
Mercado, who is Hispanic-American, said passers-by were fascinated by her Homie collection.
"People crack up about certain ones," she said. "They're really more humorous than anything."

Popular low-rise jeans could be health hazard for women
Low-rise jeans just might be the new corset.
Women have been cutting off their circulation for centuries in an attempt to appear thin and cramming their bodies into clothing primed to burst at the seams.
Depending on a person's size, wearing these jeans may be a social risk — especially when bending over means those Gap jeans live up to their name. But even worse than a flash of crack or thong, these trendy denims may be a health hazard.
Last week, a Canadian doctor warned that low-ride jeans can pinch a sensory nerve under the
hipbone and cause a tingling or burning sensation.
Paul Morte, a Lawrence neurologist, said he had seen more than 1,000 cases of the condition in the 29 years he has been practicing — about 1.5 cases every two weeks.
The tingling sensation is known as meralgia paresthetica, Morte said. It can occur as a result of pregnancy, diabetes, obesity and constricting clothing.
Morte said recent cases were likely a result of fashion trends
COMMON CENTS
"I see a lot of people wearing tight, low-cut jeans," Morte said. "If you wear something

very tight, especially low-cut,
that nerve can get compressed
Morte said years ago he had seen a Las Vegas dancer with meralgia paresthetica. The woman wore a belt made with silver dollars that compressed the nerve and caused a burning sensation.
Meralgia paresthetica is not a
serious condition, Morte said, and about 95 percent of the time symptoms will go away on their own.
"Usually the treatment is loosening the clothing." he said.
In some instances, a numbing injection may be needed, and surgery may be required in rare circumstances.
Men should also be aware of the potential problem, Morte said, because heavy tool belts often compress the nerve.
Men aren't immune to lowrise craze either. Jeans manufacturers have expanded their lines to include men's jeans.
"I don't think we have any
jeans that aren't low-rise now," said Matt Donahoe, store manager at Abercrombie & Fitch, 647 Massachusetts ST.
Unlike women's low-rise jeans, which focus on decorative thongs and glimpses of derriere. Donahoe said men's low-rise jeans were designed to show off taut abdomens. He said low-rise boxers for men were also becoming popular.
Donahoe said low-rise women's briefs were a "sexy but sophisticated" complement to trendy jeans.
That is, if you don't mind having half of your behind exposed to wind and other elements of nature.
The briefs leave little to the imagination. Target's Garfield panties for 5-year-olds would provide more coverage.
While low-rise jeans may be a health risk, the only risk of low-rise underwear might be a frosty fanny. Besides, low-rise women's underwear may signal a move away from the jeweled "Foxy" and "Flirt" thongs.
"I hope so," said Allison Scott, associate manager at The Gap, 643 Massachusetts Street. "I don't think they were ever cool."

A University of Kansas student is packing his bags for a 27-month trip to West Africa.
Beau Jackson, Wichita senior, will leave behind his family, his band Filibuster, and the comforts of his Lawrence lifestyle when he begins his Peace Corpstraining this summer.
After completing an extensive application process that included a personal interview and dental exam, Jackson will fulfill his desire to serve his country.
"I want to make a sacrifice for my country," Jackson said. "I'm not a military guy, and doing this fits my ideas."
Jackson had toyed with the idea of joining the Peace Corps since his sophomore year, and Paul Bammel, Jackson's roommate, knows he's making the right decision.
"This is going to fit him well because he's a tree-hugger hippie," Bammel said.
Aline Hoey, Peace Corps coordinator, realizes that on top of the
excitement, volunteers are sometimes apprehensive about leaving the comforts of their lifestyle. The Peace Corps has 52 KU student volunteers.

"Volunteers are most nervous about living without running water and electricity" Hoey said.
Joining the Peace Corps is a far cry from Jackson's internship this past summer. He spent three months at the U.S. Senate, researching for the offices of Sen. Sam Brownback and Sen. Pat Roberts. But he can kiss his coat and tie days goodbye — at least for 27 months.
Though Jackson has adventures to look forward to, he regrets leaving some conveniences behind.

"I'm really going to miss the electricity of Lawrence and the spirit of KU," Jackson said. "I'll have to figure out a way to watch the KU basketball games. It may be difficult."
Jackson, a fraternity member of Phi Delta Theta, plans to spend his last few months in the United States taking advantage his privileged lifestyle.
"I'm probably going to play golf and soak up the country-club life
Beau Jackson, Andover senior, is joining the Peace Corps after he graduates with a Political Science degree. In the Corps, Jackson said, he wants to teach English somewhere in Africa. before I depart," Jackson said.

Alumnus donates $100,000
Biology department receives donation, creates new award

Benjamin Hall will always remember his mother for her love of plant life. His family would go camping during the summers of his youth, and part of the trip always consisted of finding new and unusual plants.
"My mother had a plant press and she collected specimen when we went on trips.
I didn't really appreciate what it was all about at that time, but I do now," Hall said.
Hall, a 1954 graduate of the University of Kansas and professor of botany and genome sciences at the University of Washington, said his mother's love for plants inspired him to give $100,000 to the biology department to create the Mary Harkey Hall Award in Plant Biology in
"I wanted to have a sort of remembrance for my mother.She was a strong supporter of KU and an outstanding graduate in her field."

honor of his mother.
His mother Mary Hall, studied botany at the University of Kansas and graduated in 1924. She was the wife of former Natural History Museum director E. Raymond Hall.
"I wanted to have a sort of remembrance for my mother. She was a strong supporter of KU and an outstanding graduate in her field," Hall said.
The award will go to either undergraduate or graduate level students who are studying any aspect of plant biology, said Craig Martin, professor and
chairman of the department of ecology and evolutionary biology. Award money could be used to pay for a research project, airfare to Costa Rica or help in the purchase of equipment for research, he said.
"I realize it's pretty useful to have a source of money to support a student so they don't have to get a summer job. They can pursue their interests," Hall said.
There are about a dozen awards in the department named in honor of individuals, Martin said. There are four awards available for plant biology but none the size of the Hall award.
Martin said he was blown away to receive the donation from Hall.
"The generosity of previous folks associated with KU is overwhelming," said Martin. "That kind of money donated is a very impressive statement that someone values what KU has to offer. The award is a fantastic gesture in honor of his mother."

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7A
10-year tax break keeps local plant operating
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
"A quiet miracle has occurred at KU since 1996." University of Kansas Provost David Shulenburger told the Lawrence City Commission Tuesday night.
Shulenburger was discussing the University's steadily increasing commitment to research, particularly in life sciences. In voting to give Georgia-based biotech company Serologicals a 10-year tax break on its manufacturing plant, the Commission took Shulenburger's miraculous tale to heart.
"The question isn't whether you would come without the abatement," commissioner David Dunfield said to the crowd. "It's do you offer enough benefits to justify the risk to the community?"
The answer was clearly yes.
With 40 jobs on the line, each averaging $47,000 per year in salary, according to company officials, competition for Serologicals was stiff among cities such as Lincoln, Neb., and Wichita.
In giving the company what amounts to a multi-million dollar tax break over the next decade, the Commission, by a vote of 4-to-1, sent a message that much of Lawrence's economic future would be connected with research at the University.
"When you look at communi
ties like ours that have significant research movements, you see within those communities significant economic development that compliments what happens at the University," Shulenburger said, citing Austin, Texas, Boulder, Colo., and North Carolina's "research triangle" as prime examples.
But as much as Lawrence needs the University's educated population and research capacity to attract new industry, the University needs good, high-paying jobs to attract faculty and graduate students to the University, Shulenburger said.
"The University's growth in research depends on its ability to attract faculty." Shulenburger
said. "Faculty members have spouses who need jobs, and they are often well-educated, and having companies that employ them in the community makes a difference."
Serologicals plans to build a 45,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in the East Hills business park on Kansas Highway 10. The plant will be one of two in the country making Ex-Cyte, a medical supplement that enhances cell-culture growth.
In addition to the tax abatement, Serologicals' officials cited Lawrence's proximity to raw materials, airport accessibility and an educated work force as advantages.
Only two of the 40 positions
immediately created are expected to be filled with workers outside Lawrence.
"A number of KU researchers have met with leaders at Serologicals and have expressed interest in both aspects of the relationship, future employment of graduates of our programs, as well as future research collaborations," said Elias K. Michaels, director of the Higuchi Biosciences Center, and chairman of the pharmacology and toxicology department. "Serologicals will provide employment for people with training in the biological sciences, therefore providing employment for our students."

and nonvoting member of the Parking Commission, said many students complained about the signs because of the placement and confusing restrictions.
She said her job is further complicated because some campus lots, such as the lot by Learned Hall are split, meaning a portion of the parking spots are free for students, while others are reserved for faculty.
"I'd much rather have them decide to have the lots be all or nothing, making it easier for everybody." Hultine said.
Reserved faculty parking spots would be included in the petition, said Kyle Johnson, student representative on the Parking Commission and engineering senator.
Johnson surveyed lots 35 and 37, taking pictures from 5 p.m. to
7:30 p.m., to see who used the lots the most.
Of the 80 to 100 parking spots available in these lots, faculty parked in less than 15 percent of the spaces between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., he said.
Allen Ford, business professor and chairman of the Parking Commission, uses the lot by Summerfield Hall that is under consideration. Crowded parking lots forced him to park in lots farther away from Summerfield.
"Say you had to teach in the evening," Ford said. "Unless you get back around 6 or so, you probably will have to park somewhere else."
Ford said he wanted feedback from faculty who used the lots before
he could make a decision to endorse increased parking for students.
Student senators will be in the Kansas Union from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday to publicize the parking petition and to collect signatures.
The petition will be sent for discussion to the Parking Commission, which meets in mid-February. Provost David Shulenburger will have final say in the matter. Any decisions made will be enforced Aug. 1.

She recalled a game with an inexperienced referee who made a bad call, and the parents stormed the court.
"I usually try not to pay attention to the parents," Hermes said.
Leah Cummings, Hermes' roommate, said Hermes' job was good for her. Her experience playing basketball made her a fair referee, and the job didn't keep her too busy.

Hermes said she planned to continue refereeing through college, although she didn't ever see herself doing it professionally.

Ashcroft oversees the ATF
WASHINGTON — Gun owners may have no better ally in Washington than Attorney General John Ashcroft, once featured in a National Rifle Association magazine cover story as "a breath of fresh air" in the capital.
Now that Ashcroft's Justice Department has taken over the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, gun control supporters are concerned he could begin chipping away at enforcement rules.
They say the switch gives Ashcroft the opportunity to weaken oversight and regulation in such areas as federal licensing for gun sellers, how banned assault weapons are defined and whether to expand a ballistics matching system that traces guns used in crimes.
"You have the most pro-gun attorney general in history taking over the reins of the ATF," said Matt Nosanchuk, litigation director of the Violence Policy Center, a nonprofit gun control research group. "It really is a cause for concern."
The Associated Press
Justice Department officials said Ashcroft is focused on prosecuting criminals, not weakening gun laws.
"We are very aggressively enforcing the nation's guns laws and will continue to do so," Adam Ciongoli, a senior Ashcroft adviser, said yesterday.

'Trifecta' crucial in zone defense
Teams can learn from losing. And if we're lucky, the Kansas men's basketball team can learn from one weak aspect of its devastating 91-74 loss to No.1 Arizona Saturday.
Specifically, the 'Hawks need to learn how to bust a 1-3-1 zone defense.
Arizona was in the 1-3-1 for virtually the entire game, but in the first half, the Wildcats had 6-foot-8 forward Luke Walton at the top of the zone. With a forward that far from the basket, Arizona was at a size disadvantage in the post. Nick Collison and Jeff Graves repeatedly got nice looks inside, and Keith Langford found room to slash to the bucket for 27 points, Kansas raced to a 52-39 lead.
Because a zone concentrates on clogging space inside, it usually leaves three-point shooters open. So if you've got a number of guys who can hit the three — or as Dick Vitale calls it, the "trifecta" — you shouldn't have a problem with a 1-3-1 zone.
But for the second half, Arizona coach Lute Olson moved guard Salim Stoudamire to the top of the zone and Walton to the outside. The result? More size in the post, and a suffocating triple-team on Collison every time he got the ball.
Joey Berlin
iberlin@kansan.com
COMMENTARY
But if Kirk Hinrich isn't hitting his trifecta, Kansas doesn't get many of them from anyone else. So with no inside game and an ice-cold Hinrich, the results were Arizona outscoring Kansas by 30 in the second half and a dead-silent, quickly emptying Allen Fieldhouse in the game's final minute.
Now, a 1-3-1 zone is not an
automatic ticket to victory over the Jayhawks—most teams don't have the size and quickness to play it as well as Arizona. Despite the Wildcats' success, third-ranked Texas played little or no zone Monday night, when Kansas beat the Longhorns 90-87. And when Wayne Simien returns from his shoulder injury, it will be much harder for opponents to key on Collison.
Even so, the Jay Hawks' inability to break down the zone could pose problems.
Coach Roy Williams called the second half of the Arizona game "the worst coaching job I've ever done in my life."
He's right, because the 1-3-1 isn't some innovative defense. It's been around for years, but the Hawks looked as if they had no idea how to attack it.
Hinrich, Miles and Langford didn't make an effort to drive and draw defenders to the middle. They showed almost no willingness to shoot from midrange, reducing the offense to contested post shots and errant trifectas.
If Kansas meets up with Arizona again — say, in the Fina Four — don't think that Olson will hesitate to use the 1-3-1 again And if that happens, Roy better have the 'Hawks ready for it.

Cowboys win 15th-straight game
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. — Victor Williams scored 18 points, including three three-point plays, in a decisive second-half run that gave Oklahoma State its 15th straight victory, 68-55 over Iowa State on Wednesday night.
The Cowboys (17-1, 6-0 Big 12) found themselves in a fight with Iowa State before a 20-7
run gave them a 17-point lead with just less than five minutes remaining.
The Cyclones (11-6, 1-6) kept things interesting despite getting just six points from Jake Sullivan, who came in averaging 18. Adam Haluska scored 15 and Jackson Vroman had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Ivan McFarlin scored inside to start the run at the 10:09 mark, and Williams followed
with a three-point play off a turnover. Sanders added a dunk on a fastbreak, and after a free throw by Andre Williams, Victor Williams scored and was fouled on a layup after a steal by Cheyne Gadson.
His final three-point play, after a blocked shot by Allen, came minutes later and made it 62-45 with 4:43 remaining. The Cyclones got no closer than 10 after that.
Title IX may see changes
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Members of a Bush administration commission who want to maintain Title IX's current standards won the right Wednesday to have a dissenting view included in their final report.
"There's tremendous passion on this issue," said commissioner Julie Foudy, a member of the U.S. women's national soccer team. "To not represent both sides of the passion is a disservice of what we're going to give to the secretary."
The 15-member Commission on Opportunity in Athletics was scheduled to debate on recommendations to forward to U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige.
Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in programs that receive federal funding. Critics say the law has, in effect, punished male athletes to provide more opportunities for women.
Among the many recommendations, the commission is considering changes to the Title IX plank that says a school's male-female athlete ratio should be "substantially proportionate" to the male-female enrollment.
Some commissioners have proposed using campus surveys to gauge women's interest in sports and using the results as a basis to determine whether athletic programs accurately represent that interest.
Other proposals would tie a college's male-female athlete ratio to that of high schools in its area. Others would keep the current standard but allow leeway of 3.5, 5 or 7 percentage points.

"At the same time, though there will be more pressure on the bowls to sell tickets as well."
In the past, the teams have had to purchase a certain number of tickets to the bowl games.
The teams then sold the tickets, but if they couldn't sell all of them, their conferences would have to make up for the unsold tickets.
With 28 bowls generating roughly $150 million per year, and a 29th bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, possibly still to come, this rule shows the NCAA has taken steps to ensure the bowl system stays in place. Carter said.
The Big 12 earned between $20 million and $25 million from bowl games in 2002-2003.
The NCAA's rule change did not affect this season's bowl payouts.
Iowa State ends Kansas State's winning streak
—Edited by Todd Rapp
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Lindsey Wilson made sure that Iowa State was not embarrassed at home a second time.
Wilson scored 27 points and Iowa State ended No. 3 Kansas State's 13-game winning streak with a 74-69 victory last night.
It was a dramatic turnaround from Iowa State's previous home game, an 86-55 drubbing by Missouri that was the Cyclones' worst loss at Hilton Coliseum in coach Bill Fennelly's eight seasons.
wanted to get back to Hilton magic, as corny as that sounds. We've always been a team that defended our home court well. We wanted to do that tonight."
"That was a tough thing to deal with." Wilson said. "We just
Consider it done. The Cyclones (8-9, 3-3) built a 14-point lead early in the second half, then withstood everything the short-handed Wildcats could throw at them. Kansas State's only other loss was to No. 6 Stanford, 63-57 on Nov. 30.
had played 55 minutes in a 71-69 victory over Texas Saturday.
Kansas State (18-2, 5-1) got only five minutes from third-leading scorer Laurie Koehn, who has been bothered by a sprained ankle and did not score. Koehn, the team's best 3-point shooter,
The Wildcats also played much of the first half without leading scorer Kendra Wecker, who sat out the final 11:49 of the period after getting her third foul. Iowa State built a 12-point lead while she was on the bench and that turned out to be too much for the Wildcats to overcome.
"It it was definitely hard sitting on the bench," Wecker said. "But I think our team tumb in there."
Having Wecker on the bench certainly didn't help, but Kansas State coach Deb Patterson thought the game was lost before then.
"I think we really squandered the first three or four minutes of that game with some very poor basketball decisions," Patterson said.
With the victory, Iowa State matched the biggest upset in the program's history. The Cyclones beat Oklahoma last season when the Sooners were ranked third.
Wilson, who shot 5-for-20 in a 68-60 loss at Kansas State on Jan. 15, made 7-of-11 shots in the first half and finished 9-for-17. Anne O'Neil added 18 points for Iowa State, Lisa Kriener scored 14 and Mary Cofield 12—all on 3-point baskets.
Megan Mahoney led Kansas
State with 22 points and Nicole Ohlde scored 21. Wecker finished with 10 and was 0-for-5 on 3-point shots.
Iowa State held Kansas State to 37 percent shooting in taking a 38-30 halftime lead, then went on a 10-2 run to go up 48-34. O'Neil banked in a 3-pointer from the top of the key to make it 43-32 and Mary Fox capped the burst with her only basket, a 3-pointer from the left corner.
"We all came closer after that Missouri loss," O'Neil said. "That was such a defeat. We all needed to come together. Otherwise, you can fall apart. Luckily, we stuck with it."
Texas Tech-Colorado match-up has ups and downs
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — Andre Emmett scored 19 points as Texas Tech beat Colorado 66-56 last night, giving Tech coach Bob Knight his 799th career win.
Knight goes for No. 800 when the Red Raiders (12-3, 2-5 Big 12)
play Texas & M on Saturday in College Station.
The game against Colorado became tense in the second half whenColorado center David Harrison drew two quick technicals and appeared to want a fight with a Tech player.
Police were called to the court to escort Harrison off the floor
after he was ejected.
The first technical was called at 15:49. The second came at 13:03 after an offensive foul against Michel Morandais.
Tech's Pawel Storozynski also was called for one because he and Harrison bumped one another after the foul was called.
A couple of seconds later Harrison began to move toward the center of the floor where Storozynski was standing with teammates.
Storozynski saw Harrison coming and put up his fists to prepare to defend himself, but Harrison's teammates and coaches pulled Harrison back.
Harrison was then ejected from the game.
Tech trailed only briefly at the start of the game and Colorado (12-6, 2-3) had trouble hanging on to the ball and making baskets. Colorado finished 19-for-72 and had 16 turnovers.

HOROSCOPI
Today's Birthday (Jan. 30).
Don't spend the entire year hanging out with your friends. You're involved in fascinating projects, and you need a little private time. Schedule at least one retreat with an enlightened advisor. Talking about an old wound helps it heal, and that allows you to help others.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Although you're very lucky and powerful, and have the support of friends and family, be careful. If you add discipline, you've got it made.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6
Gamini(May 21-June 21). Today is a
7.
You may feel slightly inhibited by a person with distinctly different tastes. Do what's required to pay the bills, and chuckle about it in private with a true friend.
Be practical. Figure out what you can afford to spend and how to get there even cheaper. This coming weekend will be awesome for romance and travel.
Find a way to afford it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
Don't be shy about asking questions, but don't ask questions in public. Nobody needs to know where you get your information. Just make sure you get it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7.
Technology can help you deal with a
bottleneck. Don't push harder. Find
a way around it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
You're closer than ever to having a dream come true at work. Loved ones offer encouragement. You can do the rest.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22), Today is a 7.
Follow through on promises recently made. Do it not just for the person you love, but also for yourself. You'll be much more optimistic once you've done what you said you'd do.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Don't buy anything but the essentials. Something you've long wanted for your home falls into that category. Actually, it could be a down payment that you're saving for.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
Give difficult material your full attention. A light once-over isn't enough, Study.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
Take care of paperwork in order to make your future more secure. Don't wait around for somebody else to do it. That's not happening.
Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb, 18). Today is a
Aquarius.
You can take ancient information and use it to build things nobody else can. That's just one of your talents. But first, you have to do the homework.
Pisces (Feb, 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Something you've long dreamed about is becoming a part of you. It's a goal accomplished honorably. Pat yourself on the back.

NCAA rule may profit smaller schools
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new NCAA rule will give conferences more leeway in negotiating payouts for football bowl games, and that could be mean more revenue for conferences and those running the bowls.
The association passed the rule in late December. Conferences can now negotiate directly with bowl games on financial matters, but Bo Carter, Big 12 Conference associate commissioner, said the new rule change not affect the Big 12 as much as other conferences.
"We already work with so many bowls in negotiations." Carter said. "We have seven bowl tie-ins and have eight bowl-teams the last two years."
Carter said the new deal could either help or hurt smaller schools, and the effects would not be known for a few years.
Southern Mississippi plays football in Conference USA, a non Bowl Championship Series conference, which means the conference champion does not get an automatic berth to one of college's top five bowls. The Eagles lost to Oklahoma State in this season's Houston Bowl.
Leila Menguc, junior guard, celebrates off the bench during the Jayhawk victory. The Jayhawks defeated the Cornhuskers by 3 points in the last seconds of the game last night.
Richard Giannini, athletics director at Southern Mississippi, said that the new system's benefits depended on the bowl but should help the smaller conferences, and the new rules could work for smaller bowls.
"You look at the Hawaii bowl, and there maybe wouldn't be as many spectators, but the 'TV ratings would be great,' Giannini said. "It was made for TV, to watch unopposed on Christmas Day."
Bowl commissions guarantee teams a certain amount of money, but even with that guarantee, the 75/25 rule could still affect team's winnings. For example, if a bowl guaranteed $2 million per team, but the bowl's revenue was $10 million, the two teams instead would split the $7.5 million. If the bowl lost money, it was obligated to come up with money.
Perhaps the main weakness of the old bowl system was the 75/25 rule. That rule stipulated that 75 percent of the bowl income — advertising, televisions fees and other income — would be split between the two bowl teams. The bowl took in the remaining 25 percent.
Carter said the new system would place more emphasis on ticket sales.
Under the new arrangement, the bowl and the conference could write a contract that better represents the interests of both parties and negotiate deals that will benefit both parties.
"It will put some pressure on bowls to pick teams that travel well," Carter said.

Jayhawks beat'Huskers

Brandon Baker/Kansan
By Ryan Greene
rgreeen@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Wednesday night was a true gut check for the Kansas women's basketball team (9-9, 2-5).
Fortunately, the Jayhawks passed with flying colors.
The Jayhawks ended their sevengame losing streak to the Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-10, 0-6) with a 67-64 win. For Kansas, it marked its secondstraight Big 12 Conference victory and its first home conference victory since Feb.17, 2001.
For the Huskers, it extended their overall losing streak to eight games and kept them winless in conference play.
For the second-straight game, the Jayhawk attack was led by freshman forward Crystal Kemp, and sophomore guard Aquanita Burras. Kemp had a career-high 26 points and eight rebounds.
Burras was scoreless in the first half but had 11 points in the second half and sank two clutch free throws that give Kansas a 65-64 lead with 4.7 seconds left.
"We had all the ingredients of what we've been working on," coach Marian Washington said. "I'm thrilled for Crystal. It's her second game coming out of a slump."
Freshman guard Erica Hallman added a spark for the Jayhawks off the bench with 10 points in 25 minutes of play.
For the 'Huskers, senior guard Shahidrah Roberts led the way with 15 points. Senior guard Margaret Richards was the only other Nebraska player to score in double figures with 12.
The key behind the back-to-back conference victories for Kansas has been the offensive resurgence of Kemp
and Burras, who are apparently through with their struggles.
"I talked to my mother, and she gave me all the confidence to boost me up, and I'm happy to join the team with my presence." Burras said.
Burras' clutch performance from the free-throw line was the most memorable moment of her Kansas career.
"I'm just happy that they went in," Burras said. "My teammates said it was
Kemp not only had her best scoring output of the season but also showed the Allen Fieldhouse crowd just how versatile she really was.
like there was an angel right there by the backboard."
Whether it was by taking the ball coast-to-coast for a lay-in or hitting her first 3-pointer of the year, Kemp displayed the entire package.
"It's not something I'm going to look
to do all the time, it's just an as-needed thing," Kemp said.
With two tough conference victories under their belt and eighth-ranked Texas Tech visiting Allen Fieldhouse this weekend, Washington is confident with her freshmen playing like seasoned veterans.
"After the preconference schedule we didn't talk about them being freshmen anymore." Washington said.

Kemp shines on court

Kemp has done huge things for the team. After putting up 15 points in a near
Life just keeps getting better for Crystal Kemp. While the Kansas women's basketball team has put together back-to-back Big 12 Conference victories, the freshman forward has put together a string of stellar outings.
Kemp scored 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 36 minutes while leading the Jayhawks to a 67-64 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Allen Fieldhouse last night.
"I talked to my post coach, and she just said for me to take my time and relax, to do all the little things, before trying to do the big things," Kemp said.
Kemp was all over the court and displayed new aspects of her game against the 'Huskers. The Topeka High School graduate hit the first 3-pointer of her collegiate career, and on one possession drove the length of the floor to score and draw a foul.
upset of Oklahoma Jan. 22, Kemp recorded her third double-double of the season with 19 points and 11 rebounds against Texas A&M Saturday, helping the Jayhawks break a 21-game conference losing streak.
Kemp said she shoots 3-pointers when she needed to,not just to shoot.
"As far as taking the ball up the court, without waiting on them, we don't have to have so much pressure on the guards."
Kemp also was clutch down stretch, connecting on nine of 11 free throws, including two that clinched the game in
Kansas coach Marian Washington said patience and conditioning had been a key to Kemp's and the Jayhawks' recent success.
Washington said Kemp played a lot of minutes and still produced for the team.
"I'd venture to say she wasn't able to do that for us early in the season," she said.
Kemp and her teammates will try to build off of the momentum of back-to-back victories when they host No. 8 Texas Tech Saturday.
Washington said with two victories the confidence level was stronger.
"Their job is to try and stay disciplined throughout the ball game and try to make a game of it," she said.

Williams demonstrates his best and worst in 56 hours
In every circle of friends, there's always that one antagonist. You know who I'm talking about, the one who will make an inflammatory statement for no other reason than to stir up a heated debate.
You know, the one who, without merit will say, "Let's not go to that party. It'll be stupid," or "Don't go out with her. She's trashy," or "Roy Williams isn't a good coach. He hasn't even won the national championship."
The last comment, regarding Kansas' head man, is one that everyone surely has heard from the antagonist friend this season. Being in the media and around opinionated friends, I've heard the complaint so often—and not just this year—that it has become worn out.
So you can imagine the sheer joy the antagonist felt Sunday morning. Kansas just botched the biggest lead in the Williams era in the Arizona game the
night before. Arizona, left for dead, down 20 in the first half, rallied behind sharp-shooter Salim Stoudamire's 3-point bombs and its stifling zone defense.
And what were the quotes from Williams waiting to be read by the antagonist?
"I have no explanation for that what-soever," and "The second half had to be the worst coaching job I've ever done. Part of coaching is how your kids are mentally, and right now we're not very good."
creative comment
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Sounds like a puzzled coach who had just been schooled at his own profession. And, by all accounts, Arizona coach Lute Olsen did school him in the last 25 minutes of Saturday's game.
Williams had no answer for the Wildcats' sagging zone, a defense that crowded the middle and dared Kansas to launch shots from deep. Kansas reacted
Ryan Malashock rmalashock@kansan.com
exactly the way Olson hoped by refusing to adjust and continuing to brick from outside.
Dream come true, the antagonist must have thought Sunday morning. Kansas loses, and Williams confesses his coaching was terrible, providing an admitted reason for defeat. Great day, time to go badger the friends about Kansas' overrated coach, right?
Not so fast, antagonist. Hope you waited till after Monday. Because just 54 hours after Saturday's debacle,
Williams, along with his players, responded.
Williams' 402 career victories and. 804 career-winning percentage are no flukes, and victory No. 402 was substantial evidence.
Williams' two studs — Nick Collison (24 points and 23 rebounds) and Kirk Hinrich (25 points) — came through with legendary games. The offense went through Collison and Hinrich, who scored 17 of Kansas' last 24 points.
Williams committed a coaching mistake Saturday when Keith Langford (22 points in the first half), playing tense and avoiding his shot, became invisible in the second half.
Lack of depth could have come back to bite Kansas Monday, but Williams finally utilized the bench effectively. Michael Lee (4 points, 14 minutes) is deservedly on the floor more and Jeff Hawkins (three minutes Monday, eight
minutes and a 3-pointer Saturday) is getting a shot.
Jeff Graves sat out more than nine minutes in the second half with four fouls. But athletic swingman Bryant Nash went home and seemed comfortable, home meaning inside with the big boys. Nash (7 points, 16 minutes) was a post player in high school and, as was apparent Monday, can fill in for Graves when needed.
So in two games in a 54-hour span, Williams showed just how bad and how good the future hall-of-famer can be.
There's no doubt the argument will continue. At least until early April, at which time Williams could take care of something that would make those antagonists shut their mouths permanently.

Ad Astra per Aspera shows state pride finds local niche
Mike Tuley UMKC junior, Kurt Lane senior, Julie Noyce senior, and Scott Edwards JCCC sophomore make the rock and roll outfit Ad Astra Per Aspera. They have been together for about a year. Ad Astra Per Aspera is playing a show tonight with Hook and Ladder at the Replay Lounge on 10th and Mass..
By Erin Ohm

Kansan staff writer
Performing is a blur - highlighted by moments of clarity-for Kurt Lane, percussionist for Ad Astra per Aspera.
Having played together for little more than a year and performed only two shows in Lawrence and two in Kansas City, members of Ad Astra were surprised by the audience reaction.
"It's been overwhelmingly positive," Lane said.
"Nobody wanted us to sound like someone else," Lane said. "We're not easily compared to other bands."
Band members Julie Noyce, Scott Edwards, Mike Tuley and Lane are a laidback group who enjoy one another's company as much as they enjoy making music together.
Band members said there was no particular influence that played a role in determining the band's sound.
They practiced about eight months before taking on live shows.
Noyce, Overland Park senior, said although members had different musical influences, Sonic Youth, Black Sabbath and jazz music were among the tastes the group drew from.
"We practiced for so long without doing shows that we've gotten to know each other," said Noyce, who plays keyboard and sings.
Because the group does not have much experience, it has not yet established any traditions.
"It's more a process of learning what not to do," Tuley said.
The band just finished its first recording, three songs, on a CD to be released some time in March. The group also plays at 10 p.m. tonight at The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
Tuley, a senior at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, said the band was reluctant to begin performing in front of people.
Lane, an Overland Park senior, lived with Tuley before the band formed, and both have been playing for more than 10 years.
But Noyce and Edwards are experiencing their first time playing in a band.
"Nobody wanted us to sound like someone else. We're not easily compared to other bands."
Kurt Lane Percussionist for Ad Astra per Aspera
Edwards, a sophomore at Johnson County Community College, plays the bass. He learned to play from Tuley, the band's songwriter, guitarist and vocalist.
"I've only been playing a year, so I feel privileged to be playing in a band that's actually good," Edwards said.
Edwards said he felt a little bit like a sixth-grader playing with friends in his parents' basement because of his lack of experience.
The group's name, Ad Astra per Aspera, are the Latin words written on the seal of the state of Kansas. They mean "To the stars through difficulties." The name was
Tuley's idea, and everyone liked the way the words sounded, he said.
For Ad Astra, it's about making the show interesting. Performing should not be a commonplace, mundane event. The band tried a different approach to make its first performance something memorable.
"We wanted to make our shows more like events," Lane said. He said the band had thought about using a projector to project images onto the wall behind the band as they played.
"We had invitations made," Lane said. "We wanted it to be like the birth of a new band, so we invited only the people we wanted to really hear us play."
The members of Ad Astra want to go beyond most bands' standard procedures recording and touring.
One of the band's goals for the future is to film a silent movie and write the score for it.
"At this point we can pretty much do whatever we want," Lane said. "It's not following a predetermined path."
"I've only been playing a year, so I feel privileged to be playing in a band that's actually good."
Lane said that as Ad Astra played together, each member was gradually developing his own style. All the band members wanted to make music into a career and continue playing as long as possible.
Scott Edwards Bass player for Ad Astra per Aspera
"It's fun," Noyce said. "Not just playing shows — it's practicing and making music."
Producing music that everyone enjoyed was a priority for Ad Astra, Lane said.
"In 10 or 15 years, all that's left is records," he said. "If we can make records we're all happy with, that's a lot more important than making money."

Opera updates satire with University society
By Donovan Atkinson
datkinson@ kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
Finding love is difficult enough, but it would be even harder if flirting was against the law. Such is the case in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado, presented by the KU Opera.
One of Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular works, The Mikado tells the story of Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado of Japan. Nanki-Poo flees his father's court to escape an unwanted marriage. He falls in love with a young woman, but she is betrothed to another man. The other man just happens to be the Lord High Executioner of the city of Titipu.
"The big thing is that they satirize British society and mannerisms," said John Stephens, stage director of the production and professor of music and dance. "Although it's set in Titipu, Japan, it is all about life in Britain."
W. S. Gilbert decided to write a piece set in Japan after an old Japanese sword fell off his office wall. He found added inspiration in Knightsbridge, England, a small village of Japanese immigrants.
"There are jokes about Knightsbridge in the original script," Stephens said. Stephens said the jokes had been taken out to make the piece more understandable to modern audiences.
The directors made other changes to The Mikado. They used references to political figures and KU departments to

KU Opera will present The Mikado by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan at 7:30 p.m.Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are available at the door or by calling 864-3000.
update the show.
Christopher Gilliam, Baldwin City graduate student, as the Executioner, sings the "Little List" song, in which he lists the undesirable people of society. The song included the KU parking department.
"It stopped the show," Gilliam said.
The show used costuming and make-up based on authentic Japanese designs. The make-up is based on kabuki and geisha make-up designs.
Despite the Japanese inspiration, The Mikado is essentially British.
"There is nothing remotely Japanese or Asian about this show," said Mark Ferrell, musical director and associate professor of music and dance. "It's one thing to dress contemporary and make fun of John Ashcroft, but if you dress in clothing from 300 years ago people are more forgiving of it."
Gilliam said the show's humor would appeal to all audiences.
"The thing that people don't realize, even though this is an opera, is that this is a show that everybody will enjoy," Gilliam said.

Carless students use creativity to get around
By Eddie Yang
eyang@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Some University of Kansas students don't spend any money on gasoline, car insurance or parking permits. The price they pay for this is not having a car.
A car is a nice convenience but not a necessity for Erin Duffey.
The Wauwatosa, Wis., senior said she walked where she needed to go.
"I live about halfway between downtown and campus, so I walk to work and school," Duffeysaid. "The onlytime I borrow myroommate's car is when I go grocery shopping."
Cameron Haddad, Overland Park senior, lives with a roommate without a car. He said the only time he had a problem with letting his roommate borrow his car was when they had conflicting agendas.
Some students take advantage of the newly improved Lawrence Transit System. The system charges customers 50 cents to ride one of its various routes. Lawrence runs routes from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.on Saturdays, and it provides no service on Sundays.
"I trust him, and he's a good driver," Haddad said. "As long as he's not drunk."
Duffey said she hadn't checked into the transit system because she hasn't had the
need for it vet.
"I'm kind of curious about it, but my roommate is pretty gracious in letting me borrow her car," she said.
KU on Wheels also provides transportation to and from campus from various locations throughout the city. It takes a bus pass or $1 to ride these buses. The buses run when school is in session.
Saferide provides a free taxi service through the University and offers transportation from 11 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. when school is in session.
Some Lawrence residents choose to use bicycles as their main mode of transportation
Glen Roussel, an employee at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop,802 Massachusetts St., said he chose to ride a bicycle as his main mode of transportation, and the winter weather had not stopped him from getting around.
"I've been riding my bike to work for the last nine months," Roussel said. "If you dress appropriately, it's fun to ride in the snow."
Roussel said that although it might be more work to ride a bicycle, he didn't mind.
"It's fun to be outdoors and check out nature," Roussel said.

Gallery to offer place to create,show work

Dan Nelson/Kansan
Jay Gordon, Lawrence senior, works on a multimedia art project at The Grimshaw Gallery at 731 New Hampshire St. He hopes to show off his artwork for the public at upcoming shows in the gallery.
In addition to giving local artists another venue to show off their work, a new art gallery in Lawrence will be the only place in town where artists create their work right in the gallery.
The Grimshaw Gallery, 731 New Hampshire St., has its debut at 8 p.m. tomorrow. The opening features mixed media works by local artists Jenny Long Jay Gordon, Matt Ridgway, Rick Noedstean and a sound installation by Gus Huber, along with art from Bali.
The Grimshaw is a working gallery, the only in Lawrence. The artists displaying their art in the 1,000-square-foot gallery create their work in the 3,500-square-foot studio in the back of the building.
a problem in this town.
Gordon, Lawrence senior, said he wanted the gallery to promote the work of tomorrow's artists and other young artists.
"We have more artists in this town per capita than New York City," Lister said, "but we have very few collectors and buyers of art per capita."
"Exhibiting in Lawrence is pretty much restricted to coffee shops and a few odd galleries in town," Gordon said. "With this space we're hoping that we can bring more attention to some of the incredible work we have moving through this town every year."
Another gallery in Lawrence means more opportunities for local artists to make livings with their art. According to Schuyler Lister, financial backer and Lawrence resident, finding a good place for local artists to showcase their talents is
Jenny Long, artist and Lawrence resident thinks the new gallery is perfect for Lawrence.
"This is exactly what Lawrence needs," Long said. "Hopefully it'll be art history in the making."
The studio space is an appealing aspect to the artists.
"It's just a dream come true for me," said Ridgway, Lawrence senior.
The location of the Grimshaw is also an attractive feature.
"The fact that it's downtown just makes it all the better," Gordon said. "The Taproom is only a half-block away."
The Grimshaw operates collectively in virtually every aspect of the gallery's daily business.
"We all kind of work together on things," Gordon said. "We all pitch in together to curate the exhibitions, put the word on the street, design fliers and fix what needs to be fixed. It really is a co-op situation in that everyone brings what they have to the table to benefit the group."
Gordon is not a stranger to putting on art shows. He and fellow artist Long have put together art shows since 1999.
"We started doing shows at local venues like co-ops or well-known houses like the Pink House." Gordon said. "We've had this involvement and drive building for a
while."
An opportunity arose for a gallery when Clyde Chapman, owner of Chapman's Used and Curious Goods, died. Long, one of Lister's employees at Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St., convinced him to acquire the space.
"We had the same vision and drive for the studio," Long said.
Chapman is remembered by the Grimshaw with the Chapman Room, a lounge-like area in the studio section for the artists to partake in intellectual, spiritual and creative repose.
"It's very much a communal space," Long said. "We keep all our tools there. We go back to relax and work on sketches or go back there just to socialize."
The Grimshaw Gallery plans to have a showing every month on every third or fourth Friday. Other plans include acquiring grants from the Lawrence Arts Center and the University of Kansas.
"I see the gallery being in a good place in a year's time," said Gordon.

SEX
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7
Fellatio learned best from an able partner
COMMENTARY
Margaret E.
Like most girls, I didn't know the first thing about blow jobs. I lost my virginity three years before performing oral sex on someone, and I didn't really understand the concept. I knew sucking was involved, but I didn't understand how blowing had anything to do with it.
Brandy Furst bfurst@kansan.com
Another reason I never performed oral sex on anyone was because of my insecurities. What if I do it wrong? What if he laughs and tells the whole world? What if I suck? (No pun intended.)
Our mothers did not give us instruction manuals when we were 16-year-olds on the art of fellatio.
Eventually, I figured it out with the help of a certain boyfriend. It is good to have someone who you feel comfortable with someone who will understand all of the odd noises your bodies make together and who realizes that "queef" is not a bad word.
But not everyone is lucky enough to have a blowjob teacher. Some of us need some help along the way. Several girls have told me that they didn't know what they
were doing when they were down there. Or they just needed a few simple tips.
So, trying not to sound to textbookish here are some suggestions to help you and your man enjoy oral sex:
I personally like to have good mood music on in the background. Dot Allison, Arab Strap, and Stars of Stage and Screen work well for me. Try different music to figure out what sounds right to you.
Remember good foreplay. Sucking and nibbling the nipples and running your fingers through his hair while making out are two great things to do.
Our mothers did not give us instruction manuals when we were 16-year-olds on the art of fellatio.
When actually performing the blow job, it is easiest when he is lying down. It is more comfortable for your neck and back, plus you have more control and can pay more attention to detail.
Push up with your tongue against the shaft as you suck. The head is the most important part and should have most of the attention. But don't suck too hard. This can actually cause hickeys and will in turn cause a lot of pain in the days to come.
Don't worry about attempting to deep throat the penis. Most people can't do it.
Flicking your tongue against the frenulum (the triangle-shaped skin directly below and under the head) can bring immense pleasure. This is where a tongue ring can plays its part.
■ Fondle, lick and/or suck the testicles. Most men love this. It can be very pleasurable, orgasmic, relaxing and soothing all at the same time.
Some men like a little "reach around" action. Yes, I'm talking about the anus. It is actually a lot cleaner than you may think. Sticking a finger or dildo into the anus stimulates the prostate and can make for a very interesting orgasm.
And remember to always practice safe sex. I cannot stress the importance of this enough. If you are not comfortable performing a blow job, that is OK. Make sure that your partner knows this, so there are no unexpected expectations down the road.
The art of fellatio can be complicated, but performing oral sex on a woman may be just as, if not more, difficult. We'll go into that another time.
Perhaps our mothers should have given us instruction manuals after all.
Furst is a Lawrence freshman in microbiology.

Kansan Blind date Joyplogy 'around
Editor's note: The Kansan sent two students out on a blind date. What follows is an account of what happened. Find out what happens when these two stop being polite and start getting real.
Duo hardly a match
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Beginning on the wrong foot, Jeff Allmon, Wichita senior, picked up Rachel Hynson, Dillsburg, Pa., sophomore, at Watkins Scholarship Hall 15 minutes late.
Once inside, surprised Watkins's residents, also friends of Jeff's, ran to hug him with excitement. A few "Omigod, it's you!" exclamations were said before the two actually met.
When introductions were done, he gave her daisies from Dillons. She graciously accepted and ran to put them in water.
When she came back, a few more awkward handshakes were exchanged to also introduce the third and fourth wheel a University Daily Kansan reporter and photographer who would follow them the entire night.
We piled into Jeff's car, already cramped in the backseat with a snowboard. For the rest of the night, Jeff's and Rachel's every move would be scrutinized by recording devices and high-end digital cameras. The two tried to act as natural as possible under careful watch of the two in the backseat.
On their way to have dinner at Paradise Café, 728 Massachussetts St., the normal interrogation with questions of, "What's your major?" ensued.
The two young college coeds talked easily of their life at the University.
Rachel garnered a few laughs from Jeff with her outrageous time while living in Spain.
"Yeah, I lived in Spain for a year and my host family was, well, that was a bad experience," she said. "They accused me of beating their children."
"Omigod!" Jeff said.
"That wasn't true!" she said back. "And then my other host family broke into my e-mail account, kicked me out of the
house, and then I ended up on a fascist military base. Yeah, that's how I learned Spanish."
The friendly banter continued but was almost squelched when Rachel told Jeff she considered herself an objectivist. The subject was temporarily dismissed when they arrived at Paradise Café.
Their dinner proved to be the best part of the date, both said. They talked about classes, professors and traveling.
They ordered the artichoke appetizer, but when it came time to order entrees, Rachel asked Jeff to stop talking so she
could give the menu her undivided attention.
Once orders were in, I stole each of them away to ask them a few questions about one another. They said they would be brutally honest.
Cate: How's it going?
Jeff: Fine. She's quirky. When she said was an objectivist — call me crazy — maybe I'm a little anal about my

philosophical leanings because I'm a philosophy student. It's just that I hate it. It's a really terrible way of thinking, and maybe that's just me, but I think it's just incredibly selfish. That's one thing that's like really sticking out in my mind.
Cate: Do you think you're going to be able to get past that?
Jeff. Oh, I don't know. You never know,
but I'm just saying that that one thing like so far right now is like sticking out like a sore thumb. But I mean, other than that, she's very nice. You know, a little quirky — that's cool.
We were talking, and she was looking at the menu, and she's like, "Stop talking. I'm trying to look at the menu." I'm just like, "OK, I'll shut up for a little bit. You can look at the menu. I'm

Cate: Sparks flying?
Rachel: Conversation comes easily. That's good. It's sort of awkward — not him — but the fact that the photographer and the reporter are sitting there at the booth. But it's good. It's not like I have to dig for conversation, which is always horrible because it's more embarrassing for yourself when you have to be the one saying. "Oh, how's the weather?"

When the two got back to talking, Rachel explained her personal objectivist philosophy. This conversation and other heavier subject matter they discussed such as family history always ended with the server's "How is that dip treating you?"
Cate: Is he your type?
Rachel: Um? Probably, yeah, yeah. He's a little more clean-cut than who I usually date but yeah. Everything's good to go.
Paradise Café tried to create a romantic
setting playing "Strangers in the Night" and by seating them in a booth secluded from others dining that wintry Thursday night, but this was all to no avail. There was no footsy under the table that I was aware of.
Rachel: I'm completely retarded when it comes to chemistry.
Cate: Do you think there is any chemistry developing?
Cate: How do you usually go about dating?
Rachel: Usually I meet someone, make out with them and then get to know them. If I'm interested enough to make-out with him, I'm probably interested enough to try to get to know them better. Yeah, I don't date much. It's too awkward, to set up in situations, too many obligations and expectations — not that it's bad. I just don't end up doing most of the time.
Cate: Have you found a lot of common ground?
Rachel: Um, we have travel stories. Uhh, we're both students at KU? (She sarcastically laughs.) He knows how to think, which is a positive thing. Some people don't.

type. All in all, I really don't think there's that much chemistry. I mean she's a nice girl. I enjoy talking to her. I just really don't know how attracted I am to her. I'm 21, and I don't think she's old enough to go to bars or anything like that. That's pretty much what I do on the weekends — kind of tour around town. So that's always kind of a problem, you know? And that's one of those things that aren't really that essential but still there in the back in my mind. Get her a fake ID, and call me in week.
Jeff: I'm not really a big fan of activities on a date. I'd much rather prefer discussing and talking and stuff like that. There's not really an attraction at this point, so if was I flirting at this point, I'd be faking it. It's a blind date, dude. This kind of stuff happens.
Jeff and Rachel decided to go bowling after dinner, which no one was too excited about to begin with. They walked into a moderately empty Royal Crest Lanes, Ninth and Iowa Streets, where they could have their pick of empty bowling lanes. They both threw gutter balls the first time around but slowly warmed up with the help of an obscure dance remix of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer" playing in the background. Rachel bowled a spare in frame six, and Jeff followed with the same. He knocked down 82 pins beating Rachel's score of 45.
Jeff: She's just seems nervous, you know? Like she doesn't seem very relaxed at all, and maybe I come across that way, too. But yeah, she seems very nervous. The quirkiness is cute to a point. She's a bit too quirky. And let's be honest. She's too short.
They joked about their lack of bowling finesse. The most physical contact of the night was recorded when the two high fived in the bowling lane.
Rachel: I'm a bad bowler, to say the least. It's a great time for humbling myself I think. He's a nice guy. I don't really feel any chemistry, but it's good. He's a nice guy.
Cate: How's bowling going?
Cate: Different atmosphere?
Rachel: It's hard to be someplace where you know you're going to do horribly bad and just be like; "It doesn't matter." I'm just going to try to bowl and know that I'm going to need bumpers but not request them, you know?
The last stop of the blind date was at La Tasca, 943 Massachussetts St., which also happened to be having '80s/Ladies' night. The crowd hadn't arrived, so Jeff and Rachel sat at a table listening.
"But, yeah, she seems very nervous. The quirkiness is cute to a point.She's a bit too quirky.And let's be honest. She's too short."
Jeff Allmon Blind Dater
They both realized they knew enough about each other that they weren't interested. Jeff began watching War Games with a young Matthew Broderick on television but could only read the words at the bottom because the music was too loud. Rachel's attention was drawn to the wall's art prints, including Pablo Picasso's "Guernica," which she saw in-person in Madrid. Both gave the "I've-got-to-be-somewhere-in-the-morning" excuses to end the date.
Cate: Last impressions of Rachel?
Jeff: Too short, too quirky. I'm really not that attracted to her. She was just so nervous the whole time, like just a little jittery. Like she seems pretty easy-going about a lot of things, like really open to a lot of things, but she's really not that laid-back Yeah, I'm ready to go. I'm just not that interested, you know?
Cate: What will do if you see her again?
Jeff: I'll probably say, "Hi. How's it goin'?" Yeah, that'd probably be it. I don't know if I'd really stop and talk. Well, I'd probably stop and talk a little bit because I usually don't just walk by people. I'm a
pretty social person, but I'm not going to go out of my way. There's not going to be a second date. That's for sure.
Rachel: It sort of dwindled down at the end. Nice guy. No real chemistry. Sort of ran out of things to talk about. We started off good. The bowling was sort of sterile. It was a good idea to come to La Tasca, too bad people weren't here. Yeah, nice guy. I'm not much into Student Senate, and he is. He didn't try out for "The Vagina Monologues," which didn't surprise me.
He's really clean-cut. I normally don't date clean-cut guys. I'm going to kill myself for saying this—when he came into Watkins he knew a couple people that I would never really hang out with. Like he was friends with a couple people in my house that I don't really identify with, so from that I didn't really assume anything. ... He wasn't afraid to talk, which is a good thing. I think we both got pretty bored after awhile. No second date.
Cate: What will you do should you see him again?
Rachel: Oh, I'll probably stop and say, "Hi, how's it going," but it probably wouldn't be more than a 30-second conversation.
He drove her home to Watkins. She said goodbye under her breath as she darted for the door. He sat in his warm, cozy car watching her leave, knowing he would never go on a blind date again.

In-season produce broadense eating options
Roasted potatoes, juicy oranges and aromatic herbs such as rosemary and thyme are just a few stimulating selections of winter produce. Now is the best time to buy.
EAT THIS

Classic winter dishes such as hearty stews, slow-cooked dinners and delicious desserts would not be the star attraction without citrus fruits, vegetables and herbs of the frosty season.
Christina DiGiacomo cdigiacomo@kansan.com
Although many of these foods are prevalent year-round, the taste and quality of the produce peak in the winter. Sam Sieber, sous chef for Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Drive, and winner of the 2000 Wine Spectator Award, said that with fresh ingredients and a menu that changed monthly, first-rate produce was key to success in the restaurant business.
"We use produce that is in season, looks good and that is low in price," he said. "We like to pass a quality product on to our customers."
Buying in-season produce can open your senses to new food trends and tastes. Some of the most promising produce is sold at farmer's markets and local grocery stores such as The Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Iowa St. The organically raised produce, grown in the surrounding areas almost guarantees a quality product.
"Organic" simply means the produce is raised without fertilizers, pesticides and growth hormones and isn't genetically modified.
Nonorganic products introduce higher yields, enabling more susceptibility to all major grocery stores. Linda Cowden, produce manager for The Merc, trusts locally grown organic foods.
"All of our produce is grown without nongenetically modified seeds and is born in a clean environment," said Cowden.
Organic foods tend to be a little more expensive than nonorganic foods, yet they may be a wiser choice for those concerned about health matters.
Either way, knowing the difference between organic and nonorganic and learning which foods are considered inseason will help you explore more creative
options in the kitchen.
So grab your coat and recipe, drive to your favorite grocery store, and cook this oh-so-comforting beef and wintry vegetable stew. It will warm you up in no time.
Wintry Beef & Vegetable Stew
Pair up the stew with a roll and salad consisting of, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and sliced pears with greens, and dress in store-bought balsamic vinaigrette and a roll. Deliche!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat
(Lighter= Boneless pork top loin, cubed)
2 cups baby carrots
12 small new potatoes, halved and peeled
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
2 cans tomato soup, condensed
1 1/2 cups water
1 fresh sage leaf
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix in above ingredients except rosemary leaves in a large ovenproof 4-quart
Dutch oven or large pot.
Cover and bake for 21/2-3 hours or until meat and vegetables are fork-tender, stirring twice (Time may be reduced 1 hour if using the pork-loin or the thermometer reads 160 degrees and or pork is slightly pink in the center).
3. Stir in rosemary, season with salt and pepper and serve into large individual bowls.

Cliches with Harmonies by Getaway Driver
Reviewed by Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com
Editor's note: In the interest of full disclosure, Nate Harold, guitar player in Getaway Driver, is also a Jayplay staff writer.
Here's some friendly advice for you: When you listen to Cliches With Harmonies, the new four-song EP from Get away Driver, don't read the lyrics.
LEARNING WITH
GETAWAY
DRIVER
Contributed art
Although the lyrics have the occasional moment of greatness, they too often resort to overused emo cliches like "How can you fight me/After everything is dead inside me?" and "If you keep me away from/These trains and stars/Will you know what to say/When you rip out my heart?"
Lyrical missteps aside, Cliches With Harmonies has some great musical moments, like the instrumental track
"Behind The Moon, Beyond The Rain," with which the band frequently opens its shows. Starting off slowly with harmonic guitars and alternating between loud and soft, all the pieces come together in a theme and variation.
Unfortunately, the best moment on the record lasts only a few seconds. Midway through "The Breakdown Script," the band stops the song suddenly, leaving only light drums and hand claps while the whole band sings together over it.
It's a nice moment — unexpected, creative and fun. But it only lasts for a few seconds before the rock n' roll kicks back in, leaving you wanting more.
Despite a few faults, Getaway Driver is one of the hardest working bands in Lawrence, and Cliches With Harmonies shows promise. Next time though, more harmonies and fewer cliches, please.

Hollywood Tire by JIM

"Underage girls,booze,firearms,violent crime,etc."
The lead track of JIM's fourth album features an editorial remark in the liner notes claiming to touch upon what the band sees
For those perverts, drunks, NRA members and criminals, JIM's fourth album Hollywood Tire may or may not be worth looking into. For the rest, reasons to grab a copy of the Lake Placid, N.Y., band's work are few and very far between.
Usually combining elements of funk and rockabilly, and at times sounding one horn section short of an obnoxious ska band, any signs of musical competence vanishes at the sound of Sven Aurk's mangle handling of vocal duties.
Vocal rhythm and harmonies fall by the
wayside throughout most of the record. The slipshod vocal performance, however, does go hand-inhand with the lyrical content
jimmy
hollywood line
Contributed art
of the album. Most songs deal with references to drinking, unemployment, alternating themes of sexual frustration and machismo, gun fighting and police records.
The sound itself on the record usually bears a repetitive effect-laden rhythm guitar coupled with somewhat effective and
occasionally impressive lead guitar lines by Aurk. Dick Bailey Fitts' overusage of walking bass lines and Mick Korpton's plodding drumming weight the attempts at rockabilly sounds.
When combined with the same uptempo style throughout most of the record and aforementioned vocals, the 60-minute running time of the album can be a rough hour to sit through.
Occasional attempts at diversifying the band's sound are particularly laughable. Evidence of such shows in "Never Gonna," perhaps the first rockabilly endeavor in the art of hip-hop. The song becomes particularly ironic when coupled with "Limprock," a song railing against suburban white kids who listen to and imitate rap artists.
All in all, the album displays a multitude of such self-contradictions, ranging from semi-effective music clashing with loathsome vocals and lyrical content, or the band trying to portray simultaneous images of kindred lovers and wild-eyed pimps. The one constant throughout is the overall poor quality of JIM's most recent release.

Cursive wows crowd with old,new
With a highly anticipated album on the way, the Omaha-based band Cursive launched an aural assault on the eager Bottleneck crowd Saturday night.
Now in their eighth year, Cursive band members appear to be growing more comfortable in their skins as they tore through their 45-minute set. Relying heavily on material from the upcoming Saddle Creek Records release, The Ugly Organ, Cursive seemed eager to introduce the audience to the new songs while maintaining a sense of devotion to the older fans.
This is what makes this band great: Members allow the audience to witness their musical evolution by exercising songs from their entire catalog, all with the same fervor and excitement as the new songs.
Although the band emphasized its new works, members presented songs in a way that didn't seem as if they were trying to get people to buy the new record; they were content with playing music they wanted to play.

With onstage banter reduced to polite thanks and comments about haircuts, Kasher effortlessly switched between his sullen, mournful singing and agitated screaming.

sounded like a man truly thankful for his job. Alternating between guitar and keyboard, he tackled the rise and fall of the song structures with ease, making the role of the gifted singer/songwriter look easy. Kasher's undeniable ability to project his emotions through his compositions is what makes Cursive so appealing to an increasingly broad audience, as evidenced by the sold-out crowd hanging on to every note.
Drummer Clint Schnase and bassist Matt Maginn together create an impenetrable rhythm section, in which guitarists Kasher and Ted Stevens layer their contrastingly noisy and hushed contributions.
The addition of Gretta Cohn on cello adds a new layer of melody and control to the occasionally chaotic sound of the band, giving the older songs a new feel and makes me wonder how they ever did it without her.

Lapalco by Brendan Benson
Reviewed by Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com
Nearly every musician today, in one way or another, imitates the Beatles, most of them poorly. In the track "Folk Singer" on Lapalco, Brendan Benson sings "She said pretendin'—you're not John Nelson."
True, he's not, but Benson sure is trying hard to be.
On this second album, singer-songwriter Benson seems to have taken most of his influence from the old school of quality rock n' roll, with flavors of artists like The Beatles (and Lennon & McCartney's post-Beatles work), Elton John, Peter Frampton and ELO filling out the record. Benson (with a bit of help from cohort and band mate Jason Falkner) wrote and performed all 12 songs on the album, and his power-pop/rock sound is largely based around guitars and keys (both piano and synth).
The album opens on a strong note with "Tiny Spark," based around a simple vocal melody and guitar/piano chord progression, before moving on to the slower,
acoustic- based "Metarie," reminiscent of "Rubber Soul" era Beatles.
Brendan Benson
Most of the record is made up of driving power-pop, especially
Contributed art
songs like "You're Quiet" and "Folk Singer," but Benson slows it down toward the end of the record with songs like the acoustic "Pleasure Seeker" and the keyboard-based "Jet Lag," which closes out the album. All throughout, the songs are catchy and intelligent, and I'll be damned if I can't get most of them out of my head.
Despite the occasional cliched lyric and a few songs midway through that don't quite measure up to the rest, Lapalco proves a singer-songwriter doesn't have to write trite, derivative, repetitive songs (like two far more popular and vastly inferior fellows named John Mayer and Jack Johnson). It took Benson six years before he finally released a second album—here's hoping the wait isn't so long for the next one.
(Benson will perform as the supporting act for kindred spirit Ben Kweller on Feb. 6 at The Bottleneck)
Chris compulsively procrastinates.

Clooney's brilliant 'Confessions' injured by Roberts' performance
REVIEW
George Clooney displayed so much nice-guy modesty in the interviews for his directorial debut, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, that I thought he might be apologizing ahead of time for a potential failure. But his movie turns out to be a confident, if uneven, entertainment.
Stephen Shupe
sshupe@kansan.com
Confessions opens in New York City in 1981 in a shabby hotel room where Chuck Barris, played by Sam Rockwell, naked and grizzled, has hit rock bottom. Barris achieved notoriety as the creator of The Dating Game and The Gong Show and then was crucified by the media as one of the leading figures in the decline of American society. As a grace note, or maybe just a substitute for suicide, he decides to write his memoirs, which serve as the arch of the movie.
The "dangerous mind" referred to in the title is revealing. According to Barris, he was not just a television producer. He also was a CIA operative, a lone wolf who committed atrocities for the government in its crusade against communism.
Clooney has dug deep into his own life as a celebrity to comment on another's. His seasoned perspective gives the backdoor scenes at ABC's headquarters and its fake sets a dark and ironic humor. Clooney also has a gift for off-beat visuals. His camera work is funky, and he draws your attention to it. Confessions works like Pulp Fiction. It gets you thinking about the creative team behind the scenes—like Tarantino's masterpiece, it could send admirers off to film school.
Recruited by a mystery man named Jim Byrd (Clooney), Barris ends up escorting his game-show contestants on vacations as a cover. Then he sneaks away long enough to blow to hell the unlucky folks on his hit list. Given his power and influence, this killing machine is bad news for the American public — his nihilism seems to seep into his audience's veins.
CONFESSIONS OF A
DANGEROUS MIND B
- Starring: Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore and George Clooney
Rated R for language, sexual content and violence
Playing at Southwind 12,3433 Iowa St.
The first hour is filled with kinetic movie moments and around every corner is a familiar face, including Drew Barrymore, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. Then Julia Roberts, shrillest of superstars, shows up and the movie begins to lose momentum.
What spell has been cast to make people believe Roberts is an appealing performer? Her teeth stick out like bent piano keys, her smile stretches her cheekbones back into a freakish horse-face, and she has the uncanny ability to play no one but
her narcissistic self. Seriously, was anyone else ready to throw down when she attempted to "share" Denzel Washington's Academy Award last year?
It takes a pretty great director, like Erin Brockovich's Steven Soderbergh, to make Roberts jell in a movie, and Clooney hasn't developed that kind of talent yet. Her wasteful presence in Confessions gave me ample time to consider a flaw Clooney had otherwise done an excellent job of covering up.
Confessions essentially suffers from the same problem as Man on the Moon, Milos Forman's biography of Andy Kaufman. The center characters of these films remain enigmas, despite in Clooney's film an exhaustive portrayal by Rockwell. The filmmaker assumes an interesting life will make up for an uninteresting, unknowable character, but this contradicts the function of biography.
Still, scene for scene Confessions draws you into a dense web of conspiracy, showbiz and murder. There's a suicide scene over a diving board that's as creative a representation of death as I've in years. The film is thematically hefty and fans of today's American Idol should especially appreciate Barris' cynical views of cheap fame.
Clooney even comes up with a late revelation about Barris' parents that could shed a whole new light over everything shown before. Perhaps Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a brilliant film — just not the first time you see it.

Parking department tows student
By Lars Falkenberg
beak@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
1049
The University of Kansas ticketed and subsequently towed a student found illegally parked behind Strong Hall earlier this week.
The student, initially believed to be a corpse and later identified as Erica Halverson, was removed from lot 3 at 10:28 Monday morning after a reportedly aghast administrator called parking officials to complain that somebody was in his spot.
"At first, we didn't think anything of it," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services. "It's pretty normal for administrators to sound shaky-voiced when someone takes their spot. Understandably so. What we didn't realize is that when he said 'somebody,' he literally meant some body."
photo by Spencer Roberts/Kansan
The macabre cavalcade was halfway to the A&M Towing company headquarters when alarmed motorists noticed that the body being dragged appeared to be alive. When a medical emergency crew intercepted the truck at Sixth and Kentucky Streets, they found a young woman flailing her arms and yelling in apparent protest.
Halverson, Oskaloosa freshman, was rushed to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced in good condition. Examiners said heavy winter clothing protected Halverson from what would otherwise have been nasty cuts and bruises.
Halverson said she had been waiting for an appointment at the Freshman/Sophomore advising center when she decided to take a nap behind the building.
"One minute I was sleeping peacefully against a snowbank, and the next I'm being hitched up to a tow truck," said a calm but irritated Halverson. "I kept asking the man not to tow me but he just said, 'orders is orders.'"
At the A&M Towing Company shack, the atmosphere was decidedly grim. The silence around veteran employee Terry Wilson's desk was only broken by periodic dispatches from other trucks.
"I'll be honest with you," said Wilson finally. "This doesn't look good for us. Not at all. And to top it off, I'm not even sure if you're telling the truth. My wife read what you printed last week about the wizard. Now she won't leave the house. She hates wizards. Scared to death of them. Shame on you. Shame on us both."
In perhaps the most brutal corpse-dragging since the battle of Troy, an A&M Towing Company truck drags KU student Erica Halverson away from the administrative parking spot where she illegally slept. Despite an emotional bruising, Halverson said she didn't hold any hard feelings. "Everybody makes mistakes," she said. "But I wouldn't mind if they bought me a new sweater."
Wilson said the employee who towed Halverson had perhaps mistaken her for an automobile.
"You have to understand, we tow 45, sometimes 400 vehicles a
day," he said. "No two cars look alike."
Hultine said that even though there was no official policy for students found sleeping in restricted zones, they were expected to follow the same rules as vehicles.
"Hmmm," Hultine said. "I suppose we could set up a parking pass, you know, for vagrants or cadavers or what have you. Sell them for 115 bucks a pop. Matter of fact, that's not a bad idea."
Speaking on behalf of the university, director of University Relations Lynne Bretz called the incident "a shame."
"Anytime you have a live student hooked up to a trailer hitch paid for by University funds, that's regrettable," she said. "You hate to see that."

Rosen Rosen ruins Columbia House

Kansan staff writer
After three years of intensive pursuit, the Columbia House Music Club and U.S. Dept. of Aliases and Pseudonyms (USDAP) has ceased its search for Señor F.U. Rosen Rosen PhD., supposed Lawrence resident and world-renowned compact disc-scammer. The charges against Sr. Rosen Rosen stemmed from December 1996 when he officially defaulted on an agreement with Columbia House to "purchase only 2 more CDs at the everyday low club price," after he had received 8 CDs for 1 cent.
Columbia House spokesperson Hewey Luis says that the company is nearing bankruptcy due to an inordinate amount of past due accounts and alleged scammery.
"Sr. Rosen Rosen was going to be an example that you couldn't screw the music club," Luis said. he said. "We were not conceived as a musical soup kitchen passing out warm bowls of John Cougar Mellencamp with fresh-baked Wilson-Philips for free. But thanks to criminals such as Sr. Rosen Rosen, that's what we've become."
After several more orders emerged from the same address in Lawrence, Columbia House realized that Sr. Rosen Rosen may be using several aliases to acquire free CDs. Don Dalripple, USDAP assistant secretary, began investigating such claims late in 1999 and released a list of SR. Rosen Rosen's aliases: Smelly McSmellypants, Dr. James T. Boob, Hairy S. Truman, among many others unfit for print.
"During the past 10 years we've shipped~under the honor system~over 25 million CDs to our members. In return, we've received compliance from only 8 people. Maybe we should have asked for credit card information. Maybe we should have asked for social security numbers. Maybe I should have been a writer or an artist. Maybe I should have married my college sweetheart, Angela. Anyway you cut it, people like Sr. Rosen Rosen have ruined my life."
"We believe that Rosen Rosen used these aliases to acquire a rather extensive library of 1980's ballad rock, in total we believe he has obtained nearly 8000 CDs for the low, low price of $10," Luis said.
Due to increasing financial woes attributed to scammery, Columbia House will abandon its Music Club division later this year. In an official statement from the club, Luis spoke of the company's trouble:
Earlier this week Sr. Rosen Rosen left a voice-mail with the Tongue-in-Beak in an attempt to clarify the charges made against him and any misconceptions about his music collection:
"First of all, I'm not that into 80's ballad rock. I ordered a little White Snake, Scorpions, and Night Ranger: Live at Worlds of Fun. But I also ordered a lot of other stuff, like DMB, REO, ELO, REM and Jock Jams Vol. 8, you know, for when I lift. Secondly, the Scorpions are a lot better than people give them credit for. Thirdly, I'm not a criminal. Unless driving through campus in my '86 firebird listing to Billy Squire, Journey, Foreigner, or whatever happens to be in my tape-adapted CD player is illegal. Peace out, mother truckers."

'Two Towers' worth rental, not purchase
The second part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy, The Two Towers, can now make its way into the video game systems of the loyal fans who have watched and read it. The fate of countless lives, as well as the fate of Middle-earth, rest solely in your hands.
You must become a strong and intelligent fighter if you are to survive both Sauron and Saruman's minions.
The game starts off exactly as the movie with a blank screen and Galadriel talking about how the Rings of Power still exist.
One interesting feature the game has is

the voices of the actors from the movie (Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn; Orlando Bloom as Legolas). It's always fun to know that actors can take time off and lend their voices to their movies' games.

Contributed art
For people who don't know the tale of The Lord of the Rings, it involves the struggle against the Dark Lord Sauron who means to take control of Middle-earth by regaining his physical form. To get his full power back, he must reclaim the One Ring that Isildur cut from his hand almost 3,000 years before.
A Hobbit, named Frodo Baggins, has come into possession of the powerful One Ring. He must take it to Mordor, the only place where it can be destroyed, and the very place it was forged. Frodo is not alone in his quest. Joining him are eight companions bound to save Middle-earth from the approaching evil of the Dark Lord Sauron.
You control Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli or a secret character (I'm not telling who) as
you progress through countless battles to save Middle-earth. To progress through the game, your characters must become stronger with each battle they complete.
It would seem easier just to be one person throughout the game, but it's better to go through each level with each character. The differences between characters can be handy in battle. Aragorn is the most well-rounded character. Legolas is needed for his speed and quantity of arrows instead of his close combat skills, while Gimli is necessary for his power rather than speed.
You gain experience points after you beat a stage, and the experience points you earn can be used to gain stronger attacks. The points you earn are like currency, and you can buy higher-level combos once you reach more advanced stages. After you beat a stage with one character, you can play it again with another character. This can make the game twice as long.
The game starts with The Fellowship of the Ring. You begin as Aragorn and follow him all the way to the Battle of Helms Deep in The Two Towers. After you play with Isildur, you see Aragorn riding away.
The controls for the game are fairly simple. You can use buttons to pull off devastating combos or the right analog joystick (for the PlayStation 2) to attack. It takes more skill to perform moves with the buttons, but the right analog joystick can be used for swift, berserk attacks.

THE TWO TOWERS ... B
Now available for GameBoy Advance, GameCube, Playstation 2 and Xbox
Rated Teen for blood and violence
Sells for an average retail price of $50
All in all, the controls are decent, the fights are well thought out and the character selections are good.
The graphics are acceptable, and music and scenes from both movies are included. This game would be a good rental but probably just an average purchase.

Cows get little more than a mouthful of dirt as they attempt to graze on a farm outside of Eudora. A drought since last summer has plagued Midwest farmers' crops.Farmers may be forced out of the business if a lack of rain continues.
Farming dry ground
Kansans hope spring rain ends drought
By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A typical corn harvest in the Kaw Valley averages about 108 bushels in a normal year. For John Pendleton, Douglas County farmer, corn yields last year were at 50 bushels.
An average yield for soybeans might be 33 bushels to the acre. Most farmers in the county, including Pendleton, brought in on average 15 bushels to the acre last year.
"Certainly the lack of yields meant that our income was down quite a bit," Pendleton said. "In fact, it affects us pretty severely when, at the end of a year, when you put all your efforts into growing a crop and you don't produce enough yield to pay for expenses."
Low yields for farmers in Douglas County and across the state of Kansas are the result of a drought that plagued the Midwest last summer and fall.
With Kansas coming off of its 32nd driest December, according to the National Climatic Data Center, and a January that will miss the mark in moisture average, some farmers are waiting in anticipation for the spring planting season.
"While it's definitely bad we're not getting our moisture right now, the really critical period is March and April."
Mary Knapp
State climatologist
Mary Knapp, state climatologist, said Douglas County received 21.1 inches of moisture last year..The average for the county is 39.78 inches.
2003 already behind
Most of the state was below normal in moisture for the year with the exception of some areas in south central Kansas. Knapp said.
"While it's definitely bad we're not getting our moisture right now, the really critical period is March and April," Knapp said. "If we don't get any moisture, then it's really difficult to get the situation in shape for the summer."
Douglas County is already behind 1.25 inches for the month of January, Knapp said.
Donna Tucker, associate professor in
physics and astronomy, said the direct cause of the drought was a high pressure system centered to the west. She said even though this was an El Niño year, its effects on Kansas had been inconsistent.
Snowfall during the middle part of January was not useful to the drought condition, Tucker said.
"The snow that fell didn't have a very high moisture content. What we need is some very wet snow." Tucker said.
The drought not only affected farmers but was also felt by local businesses. Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., purchases many of his fruits and vegetables for the restaurant from local farms. He has relied more on produce from Arizona, California and Florida because of the drought, he said.
Local producers suffer
"It's what most people typically find in the supermarket," Magerl said. "I prefer to have the local product with the freshness factor."

Students touched by black history
By Henry C. Jackson
cjjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Black History Month is as much a wake-up call as it is a celebration for Charee Fitts.
"Some people want to settle for 2.0s and almost get kicked out of school," said Fitts, vice-president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's University of Kansas chapter."But those people don't think back to when people were getting 4.0s and not being able to go school because of the color of their skin."
February's Black History Month is the perfect opportunity to remind people why African-American students shouldn't tolerate complacency, she said.
"Black History Month reminds us where we came from," said Fitts, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore. "When you hear about people that were spit on—or worse—just to go to school, it makes you want to work harder, to know more."
On campus, Black History Month will be celebrated in a variety of ways, ranging from basketball tournaments to lectures on African-American leadership. Among the highlights are Kevin Powell, former Real World cast member and Vibe senior writer, who will speak Feb. 3 in the Kansas Union, and Gordon Parks, an author, photographer and composer who will speak Feb. 22 in the Lied Center.
Mark Dupree, president of the Black Student Union, said students would benefit from Black History Month activities because they highlighted parts of history students were not normally aware of.
"This month's filled with things we don't learn about in our classrooms," said Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., junior. "People don't realize black people contributed to America, that America would not be what it was without black people."
Learning more about African-American history is the best part of Black History Month, said Anthony Daniels, associate director of multicultural affairs.
"Students might not know much more than a little Harriet Tubman, some Marcus Garvey." Daniels said. "Black History Month is another

Daniels said the month's activities were helpful for future leaders in the African-American community.
"Each generation of leaders assists the next generation in their growth," Daniels said. "Black History Month gives us the opportunity to talk about the past and to educate the next generation."
Daniels said there was a simple reason for stressing education during Black History Month.
"If you don't know your past," Daniels said, "you don't know your future."

Fall break moved for homecoming
By Erin Ouse

A vote of the University Council yesterday changed the academic calendar for 2003, moving fall break from Oct. 16 to Oct. 23 because of a conflict with the term-coming week.
The vote was the second decision the council made concerning full break. Last question, the council denied the appeal by the someoning proceeding committee to alter the data.
Traditionally, homecoming at the University of Kansas is in October and coincides with a team football game. The only home football game scheduled after September calls during the typically scheduled fall break.
If the council had refused the proposal, homecoming week would have ended with many students game on fall break or would have concluded with an event other than the traditional football game.

Blown transformer disrupts museum hours
A transformer at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum blew out at about 7 a.m. yesterday.
The transformer disrupted the flow of electricity to the south wing most of the day.
Most of the live exhibits are located in the south wing.
Fish tanks and computers had to be rewired to receive electricity from the other wings.
Jordan Yochim, assistant director of the Natural History Museum, said the museum had to be closed because it was unsafe to have people walking around without lights.
A diesel generator was installed to supply electricity to the wing, so that it can be reopened today.
It will take a few weeks to get a replacement transformer and have it installed.

Candidates' legal pasts resurrected in race
WICHITA-Three mayoral candidates have been convicted of felonies, and the fiancée of a fourth filed for a court protection from an abuse order.
The Wichita Eagle reported in its edition yesterday that background checks of 15 mayoral candidates revealed that:
George Poulos, 77, spent 20 years in prison in two stints after convictions for arson, racketeering and gambling.
He also has detailed his criminal exploits in a book titled George, You Rascal, You.
Martin Mork, 39, served two years' probation after a 1992 conviction for attempted possession of marijuana with intent to sell.
King David "K.D." Davis, 46, had a 1992 conviction for being a habitual traffic violator.
The Eagle also reported that two days after announcing his candidacy for Wichita mayor, movie theater mogul Bill Warren got a judge to seal court records in which he and his fiancee made allegations of abuse.
threats, extortion and slander.
No criminal charges were filed as a result of the complaints.
Warren had become one of the front-runners in the race after winning the endorsement of seven-term Wichita Mayor Bob Knight. Knight said he was unaware of Warren's personal legal battles when he made the endorsement. Though he said his endorsement stands, Knight also planned to talk to Warren

Police escalate search for missing mother
RENO, Nev. — Police intensified their search for a missing woman whose 3-year-old son was abandoned at a Utah store Saturday.
The boy's stepfather was charged yesterday with child abuse for allegedly leaving the boy.
A police affidavit said the boy's statements led them to believe his mother had been harmed. Jeannette Acord, 28, has been missing two weeks.
Her husband, Lyle Montgomery, 42, was charged in Salt Lake City with misdemeanor child abuse for allegedly leaving the boy Saturday at a ShopKo.
The boy's identity was a mystery for days, until a Reno woman recognized Jonathan Jacob Corpuz and called authorities.
Montgomery's lawyer said police had given no indication he was a suspect in the disappearance of Acord, whom he married in December.
Montgomery was handcuffed at his Reno home Wednesday night and taken to police headquarters for questioning before being taken to a psychiatric hospital, where he was committed yesterday.
Montgomery had taken sleeping pills and alcohol before police found him at his home, Picker said.
The lawyer said it was not a suicide attempt.
Reno police said Montgomery volunteered to go to headquarters for questioning, but then refused to talk.
Lt. Ron Holladay said police were searching the home yesterday.

identification card to provide a Social Security number or taxpayer ID number or sign a statement that he or she is a legal resident.
Starting in July 2004, the state would have to verify Social Security or taxpayer numbers or "foundation" documents, such as birth certificates. The authenticity of photographs also would have to be verified before they went on a driver's license or state identification card.
To cover the estimated $1.5 million cost, the bill includes a $2 increase in the
$15 fee for a six-year driver's license.
The bill drew criticism because the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services could use the Social Security or taxpayer 1D numbers on the applications to locate parents who owe child support.
Supporters said the state could lose $133 million in federal funds otherwise.
Critics questioned whether SRS could keep identification numbers confidential and suggested the bill was an attempt by government to monitor citizens' lives.

Losses won't affect scholarships
By Nikki Overfelt
novfertlove@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas University Endowment Association assets have dipped below $1 billion for the first time since 1999.
The loss should not affect student scholarships that the association provides, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the association. The amount the
Endowment Association gave in scholarships increased 7 percent during the last fiscal year, which ended in June, and so far this year is increasing again, he said.
The KU First campaign will not be affected, Scarffe said. The goal is to reach $500 million by 2004. So far the campaign, which will benefit all aspects of the University not paid for by the state, has collected $358 million.
The poor economic climate is
to blame for the loss, Scarffe said.
"We believe that in the good times we're going to outperform the institutions that do otherwise and that ultimately will make up for what happens during the bad times," he said.
The endowment portfolio dropped 12 percent from $831.8 million to $732.2 million in the 2002 fiscal year, according to the National Association of College and University Business Officers.
The endowment's total assets dropped 7 percent from $1.09 billion to $1.02 billion.
The Endowment Association doesn't plan on changing anything because of the drop, Scarffe said.

"Our philosophy is to ride out the bad times," he said. "We are hoping that things will hit a plateau here and then, after a while, start going back up."
Asian Americans to celebrate new year
By Eddie Yang
eyang@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Chinese New Year will be celebrated tomorrow in many regions of the world, but don't tell that to Father Joseph Dang.
"I like to call it the Lunar New Year," said Dang of the Catholic Apostolic Church International at Ecumenical Christian Ministries. "Chinese New Year labels the holiday as Chinese. The Koreans celebrate the same year."
Regardless of the name, the months that are based on the lunar calendar begin on the darkest day, the new moon. Tomorrow, the year 4701 begins.
"The New Year is the most celebrated holiday for many Asian groups," Dang said.
The celebration is based on the legend of Buddha, who asked all the animals to meet him on the Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. Buddha said people born in an animal's year would
Dang said the animal for this year was the goat.
have some of its personality.
Serena San, Taiwan sophomore, said she planned to celebrate with her friends.
"I'm going to invite some friends over for dinner and have a hot pot dinner." San said.
San said the holiday was important to her because it was a tradition.
Several campus organizations, including the Multicultural Resource Center, Southeast
Asian Alliance and the Taiwanese Students Association, are preparing to celebrate the New Year. A free, public event will take place from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. tonight at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. The celebration will include food, prizes and games.
"Asian New Year is the highlight holiday," Dang said. "It is a day to get together and just have fun."
University pulls plug on MCAT class after low enrollment

The class, which would have
University of Kansas students preparing to take the Medical College Admission Test in April or August have one less preparatory class option this year.
The MCAT review course offered by the University of Kansas Continuing Education was canceled this semester because of low enrollment, said Heather Hoy, program manager.
been entering its third year, needed between 35 and 40 students to continue. Enrollment in the class had been declining since the first year.
University faculty members facilitated the course for students. The faculty members were led by Dean Stetler, associate professor of molecular biosciences, who said he was unsure of why student interest decreased in the course. Stetler said they started offering the class because of student requests.
He said students wanted the professors at the University to offer a class that would be less expensive than the other courses that are offered.
From the University, 146 students took the MCAT last April and 149 took it in August, said John Lockwood from the MCAT program in Washington, D.C.
About three-fourths of students preparing for the MCAT take a review class, said Paul Crosby, pre-med adviser.
Stephanie Smith, Overland Park senior, took the MCAT in
April. Smith chose Mary Dunkin's Best MedPrep MCAT Preparation Course instead of the University's class.
Dunkin's class is not sponsored by the University but is taught by KU Medical Center students who have taken the class.
Once she knew that Dunkin was selective according to grade point average, Smith said she knew it would be a quality class and that she learned by studying the test.
Overall, the class helped Smith
build endurance and keep the pace needed to finish the eighth hour test. The class also helped her improve 10 points from her diagnostic test, which was given at the beginning of the class, to the actual MCAT.
Melanie Curtis, Pratt senior, chose another MCAT preparatory class. She just began a class through The Princeton Review on Monday to prepare for the MCAT on April 26.
"It's good to do something," she said. "It can't hurt you. It just depends on your learning style."
Even though it's a big commitment for this semester, Curtis said it would be worth it in the end.
"It's my future and this is something I will doing the rest of my life," she said. "It's not bad in the whole spectrum of things."
Besides Dunkin's class and The Princeton Review, students also have the option to take an MCAT preparation class through Kaplan Test Prep, 1000 Massachusetts St.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Take revenge on recording industry
Hatred toward the Recording Industry Association of America is widespread. It has shut down Napster and overcharged for CDs, and Americans — especially students — have little respect for the few large corporations that dominate the music industry. Now consumers have the opportunity to retaliate.
Attorneys general from 43 states have brought suit against five music distributors and three retailers, alleging that they conspired to fix CD prices. Through a process known as "minimum advertised pricing," record labels would pay a portion of retailers advertising costs. In return, the retailers would agree to sell CDs above a set price.
Although they have admitted no wrongdoing, these eight companies are offering refunds to individuals who purchased CDs between Jan. 1, 1995 and Dec. 22, 2000. The refunds will range from $5 to $20 depending on the number of requests received.
To retrieve a refund, click on www.musiccdsettlement.com and fill out an application before March 3, 2003.
If each of the 29,000 students at the University of Kansas were refunded for one CD, more than half a million dollars could be had by the student body.
The refund application is simple and takes five minutes to complete. It's an opportunity for disgruntled consumers to take a stab at big business while earning extra spending money.
So, if the music industry has been getting the best of you, now is your opportunity to return the favor.
Ben Ross for the editorial board.

PERSPECTIVE
Partying, perfume make stinky students
Something stinks here at the University of Kansas. It isn't the weather. It certainly isn't our basketball team. It's not even enrollment or add/drop.It's the students, literally, and it is permeating classrooms all over campus.
COMMENTARY
For some scent offenders, the problem is a combination of too much fun the night before and the lack of a shower or change of clothes. For others, too much of a good thing (colognes, perfumes, scented lotions, body sprays, etc.) can be just as toxic. The solution is simply finding a balance between these extremes.
Normally these nasal offenses would go unnoticed in large spaces and in the open air. But because most of our classrooms are so small, fragrant classmates are becoming a distraction.
TREWANT
For instance, there was this guy in my 8:30 a.m. class last semester who must have been trying to become a whiskey connoisseur. Wherever he moved, he left half of those around him cross-eyed. Nothing is nastier than that stale smell of smoke, alcohol and bar sludge in the morning (or the obvious suffering of the person emitting the lovely scent, for that matter). The point is, we've all been there, and reliving it is just as painful.
Mark Lyda for The University Daily Kansan
Kara Warner opinion@kansan.com
A 1996 study from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., shows links between
the sense of smell and its reaction on the brain. Odors tend to make stronger, longer-lasting impressions on our brains and on our memories than any of our other senses. Certain smells, especially unpleasant ones, have been found to increase blood pressure and alter moods. Those offensive odors take us right back to those nights we've tried so hard to bury, making it impossible to concentrate.
Side note, women: The most excitement-inducing scent for men is a combination of lavender and pumpkin pie, according to a recent study conducted by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Unfortunately there is not yet a bottled version of that combo, but I'll keep you posted.
Pleasant smells have been found to relieve tension and, in some people, increase arousal.
The problem with pleasant smells is people tend to overdo it.
Ladies, I hate to point fingers, but we are usually guilty in this area. Don't layer the perfume and the scented body lotion and the hair spray — it's too much.
Fellas, you have it easier. There is nothing better than a good-smelling guy. Heck, we're excited if you take time to shower before class. A little cologne or body spray would seal the deal.
Side note, men: Those commercials for Axe deodorant spray are not that exaggerated — it smells good.
You don't even have to shower, thanks to a variety of creative new products.
If you're not a cologne or perfume person, try Old Spice Cool Contact Refreshment Towels or Dove Body Refreshers Body Deodorant Sheets. These items are like showers you can stick in your pocket. Put them in your backpack and share them with your classmates. And don't forget about the student favorite, Febreze. It helps cover almost any offensive odor, leaving your clothes smelling as if they just came out of the dryer.
A strong smell can leave a lasting mark. I'm not saying everyone should be sparkling clean like first-semester freshmen, but please try something.
And remember, a little goes a long way.
Warner is a Fort Collins, Colo., senior in journalism.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The power to purchase
The "Hummer H2: No thank-you; Everyone needs a Prius" article, angered me, for the writer committed the same error that happens far too often in the UDK: leaving out major parts of the facts in order to make President Bush look bad. The tax breaks apply to vehicles with a gross weight of more than 6,000 pounds. It was intended to help the farmer who buys a large pickup, the plumber who drives a large van full of tools, the construction company owner who buys 15 trucks for his crew and the University of Kansas, which owns countless trucks and vans. But people shouldn't be able to use it for pleasure vehicles. Please read the whole story before immediately condemning Bush and assuming it's all part of some evil plan to go to war for oil. It's a ridiculous, ignorant and sad belief that too many people have today in America.
I, too, think the Hummer H2 is an absolutely ludicrous vehicle and I'd sooner be caught dead than buy one. But I respect other people's free-market-economy-given right to buy one if they like. I guess you forgot to mention, while you were condemning other people's discounts, that when you bought the Prius, you were eligible for government discounts on it as well, as it is a hybrid vehicle
It is wrong to penalize people for buying what they want. It goes against the very foundations of a free market.
Get off the floor
Kyle Rohde, Delafield, Wis., sophomore
After an inspiring 90-87 Jayhawk victory over the Texas Longhorns, I'm left wondering whether Jan. 27, 2003, will be remembered as a turning point in our
season or as the day a group of misbehaved fans, desperate to get their faces on TV, embarrassed themselves and our University by running onto the court at the end of the game. Allow me to explain something to those idiots who obviously have no sense of the history and tradition of Kansas basketball. We EXPECT to beat people at home. KU fans should never act surprised after a victory at Allen Fieldhouse. Granted, Monday was an emotional victory for Jayhawk fans. But it's one thing to properly display that emotion and another thing all together to act as if we were Alcorn State with a victory over Duke. Until the day we are ranked No. 2 in the nation and Missouri is No. 1 and Kansas clinches the Big 12 Championship with a last-second three in triple overtime, we don't rush the floor. Anything else is a betrayal of the tradition and dignity of this basketball program.
Keith Henderson, Topeka law student
My letter concerns the hundred or so students that flocked the floor after the men's basketball team beat Texas on Monday night. Why? Why did you rush the floor after beating a conference rival? Were you so surprised that we accomplished the feat? Did you not expect the team to rise to the challenge?
Rushing the playing surface has become too common in collegiate athletics. It hints of amateurism and detracts from the prestige of the program. There was a time when fans only rushed the field of play when a truly significant upset had occurred. Colorado beating the Kansas men for the first time in 11 years is a significant upset and warranted the storming of the court. But Kansas, fresh off the Final Four and ranked in the top 25 should not have
rushed the court. Kansas trails only Kentucky and North Carolina in all-time victories. Roy Williams is the winningest active coach in Div. I basketball. We repeatedly recruit, sign and develop McDonald's All-Americans. It is because of the spirit and enthusiasm of the fans that Kansas enjoys a home-court advantage. Please don't tarnish it with asinine celebrations.
A hard-fought victory over a bitter conference rival deserves recognition. Stay in your seats, sing the Rock Chalk Chant, cheer your players as they run past you into the tunnel. Don't run on the court and embarrass yourselves and your program.
At Kansas, we don't storm the court.
Eric B. Beightel, University of Kansas alum-nus
Stripped of glamour
After reading Ashley Smith's column about stripping for financial reasons, I kept asking myself: Why is her column only focusing on women who enter exotic dancing? If stripping were such a lucrative part-time job, why aren't there KU men working at Juicers or Bada Bing? Also, if stripping is such a great job, why doesn't the University offer it as a work-study program?
Smith seems to have knowledge about exotic dancing from only one source, the same woman who is trying to recruit her. It's pretty unlikely this woman gave Smith a balanced and accurate picture of the profession if she wants her as a colleague. On that note, I challenge Smith to investigate all sides of the issue the next time she writes a column for The University Daily Kansan.

Stones roll on are a station
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When KCSX 97.3 FM out of Liberty, Mo., altered its format from "All Beatles all the time" to "Stones 97.3" this week, the changed wavelength was murder to some Beatles fans. No longer could they guarantee to switch radio stations in the car and know without a doubt it would be their musical four: John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Chad Boeger, general manager of the 2-week-old KCSX, said the station was stunting right now but that it would soon make a final decision about formatting.
Boeger said the station would take input from area listeners to appeal to a wide range of people.
Enter the Rolling Stones. And enter the Rolling Stones fan.
Roberta Schwartz, assistant professor of music, teaches a history of rock 'n' roll class during the fall semester. Although she loves both bands, she said most people would pick one instead of the other. Schwartz said the format change would appeal to a more specialized, devoted fan base.
"With a Beatles 24-seven station, you'd tune in and never
know," Schwartz said. "It might be something from the very earlier period that's very much poprock. It might be some psychedelic, acid, trippy song from The Sergeant Pepper or The Yellow Submarine period or it might be something like 'Get Back,' which is pretty much straight-on rock 'n' roll. With the Rolling Stones, it's pretty much going to be in a blues-rock vein."
Others disagree, saying the Rolling Stones crossed as many borders as the Beatles.
Peter Berard, Overland Park junior and KJHK music director, thinks the Stones are close enough to the Beatles that the format change was a fair trade.
"Just by the standards that we sort of use — being innovative, creative and lyrically just consistently putting out great stuff they're as good as the Beatles and some might consider them better," Berard said.
Although the Rolling Stones have had a longer career, Berard doesn't necessarily like the band's newest albums. He said it was hard to objectify which band was better, but he personally leaned toward the Stones for their edge.
Schwartz agreed with Berard
but said she had a weakness for the Beatles.
"Even when the Beatles are at their hardest, there's that Paul McCartney melody, that beautiful, very pop-music-influenced melody that seems to soar above everything and endear itself to any listener." Schwartz said.
She said most everyone had a flirtation with both bands at sometime in their life.
Bailey Kivett, Halstead senior,
is beyond the flirting stage.
"I don't need to hear 'Start Me Up' three times in the same day," she said.
Kivett said she too was passionate for both bands but thought the formatting would get old after a few days.
"I'm going to listen to the radio for something new—not to listen to something that I know I already like," she said.
Saturation is a problem when stations choose heavy rotations of one particular band, she said. The station's format change challenges fans to decide which band they would rather listen to around the clock.
"Today I would say the Stones but ask me in a week, and I might change my mind," Kivett said.

Anti-war play needs volunteers
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Lysisstrata Project needs help.
The Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., is seeking as many volunteers as they can get for the first worldwide theatrical event.
Lysistrata is an ancient Greek play in which the women in a society use tactics, such as taking over the treasury and withholding sex, to prevent men from going to war.
Katie Wolff, Shawnee junior, is the event's coordinator and said she thought Lawrence was a great place to have such a performance.
"This is a great way to unite people across the globe speaking about peace," she said. "Especially here in Lawrence, where there is such a large peace movement."
The play will be performed across the world and will
include countries such as Turkey and Jerusalem. This will be the only performance in eastern Kansas.
All of the performances will be on March 3. The ECM's show will start at 8:30 p.m. and should last about an hour and a half.
The Rev, Thad Holcombe said the ECM welcomed the performance.
"We, as a ministry, are opposed to war," he said. "This play conveys a good message about the futility of war. It goes beyond the situation in Iraq."
The project is lacking something besides volunteers — money. Wolff said it didn't take many funds because there would be no costumes or set, but publicity costs would come out of her pocket.
"I'll put up fliers this week and I'll probably pay for them myself," she said.
The cast will consist of 20 people, and Wolff said they still had to fill half of those spots, as
Holcombe and Wolff said they anticipated a good response, although the project was in its early stages of production.
well as volunteers to collect donations and run the stereo and lights. She said the group would probably meet on Sundays, but it was still flexible.
"It is a timeless play that answers the age-old question of how to achieve peace," Holcombe said. "We will see that the Greeks had some creative ways of restoring peace."
"I think too often students dismiss the outside world as just that — an outside world that doesn't affect them," she said.
Wolff said she was optimistic the project would help students take notice of the world and realize the consequences of the United States' actions.

Professor strikes cultural chord

Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas professor Clarence Henry is using music to connect cultures and countries.
Henry is an assistant professor of ethnomusicology, which is the study of living musicians and culture.
He teaches a class about the music of Africa and the Middle East every spring semester and a class in music in world cultures every fall.
Deutsch from St. Louis in his class last fall. Deutsch created his own instrument made of an upright bass that sounded like a sitar. He performed when the class was discussing Indian music.
"Last semester we had 14 guests from all over the world perform in class." Henry said.
Alumnus Justin Guenley took three classes with Henry and said they helped him as a musician.
Henry hosted musician Mark
"Clarence taught me that there was more than the Western way of thinking when it comes to music." Guenley said. "I saw some of the best musicians in that class."
Henry is preparing for a world music concert tentatively scheduled for April 24 in the Kansas
Union Ballroom. He said the theme of the concert was world peace and solidarity.
Henry said a Native American ensemble would play first and a gospel group would end the concert. Asian, African and Celtic music will also be represented, and many students will perform.
Henry said the concert would be a celebration of different cultures.
"We live in a global society and I think it is important to have an idea on what goes on other than what happens in Kansas," he said.

Drought release drains food fund
school lunch programs and food pantries for the needy.
WASHINGTON — The government provided $185 million more in drought aid to ranchers than the Bush administration promised before the November elections and is on course to drain a fund intended to buy food for
Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman told Sen. Herbert Kohl, D-Wis., in a letter that more livestock farmers than expected sought compensation for drought losses. The $185 million was needed to help farmers in addition to the $752 million the administration had said in September it would need to take from the fund.
That fund is on course to be wiped clear once the drought aid is handed out and food and commodities for the nutrition programs are purchased, she wrote.

Alliances strive to inform about issue of living wage ordinance
By Cal Creek
ccreak@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Two local groups want voters to consider the living wage when voting in the city election on April 1.
The Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance works in conjunction with the KU Living Wage Alliance in an attempt to raise local awareness among students and
Lawrence citizens about a living wage ordinance.
"A living wage, empirically does reduce poverty, and that is a good thing" said Mark Horowitz. KU Living Wage Alliance member and Springfield, Mass., doctoral candidate.
A living wage ordinance would require companies, businesses and firms that receive tax breaks from the city to pay their workers at least 89.39 per hour
plus health benefits.
This wage represents the number required to keep a family of three 50 percent above the poverty line.
There are 77 cities in the nation with living wage ordinances.
Both alliances have worked to raise awareness about a living wage and voting in city elections by providing information downtown and on campus.
"A lot of times student bodies have been rather fickle when it comes to voting." Horowitz said. "We want to make sure students confront the candidates with the living wage issue."
Of the 16 city commission candidates, Dennis "Boog" Highberger, Mike Rundle and David Schauner have all said they supported a living wage ordinance.
about the possible effects of a living wage ordinance.
Other candidates are hesitant
"Generally we have to be careful that we don't create some unintended circumstances," commission candidate Lynn Goodell said. "I'm not convinced it's the answer."
While Goodell didn't want to see Lawrence residents take $4 and $5 jobs, he said he was concerned that businesses could get priced out of the labor force.
Greg Douros, Rundle's campaign manager and St. Louis graduate student, said he saw significance in the living wage ordinance issue.
"It's going to have a really important impact in Lawrence," Douros said. "It's going to make Lawrence a better place."
The city commission primary is on Feb.25.

Calendar
CONINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Richard Johnson, dean of student life addressed concerns raised by University Council members, assuring the council that the new date would not interfere with academic adviser for the spring semester.
Johnson and Margula appealed to the council to strage the date because they said they considered the situ-肌 of having only one home
football game in October a chance occurrence not likely to happen again.
The football schedule originally had two games in October 2003, but the Big 12 Conference moved the second game for television purposes and because of a conflict with a NASCAR event.
Kit Brauer, Denver junior and student senator, proposed an alternative ending in homeschooling with another athletic event, like a soccer game held in Memorial Stadium.
"Homecoming isn't just about football," said Elissa Hudson, co-director for the homecoming steering committee and a Pitsburg junior, "but homecoming is a very traditional thing. When you're trying to build something like this up, I don't think you can make such a giant change before it is well established in the first place."
A 22-to-15 vote, with three abstentions, determined the council's new decision.

showed intense passion and interest in the program, said Donald Fixico, director of the Indigenous Nations Studies Program.
Since Naramore was 14 years old she new she was going to be a lawyer who fought for indigenous people's rights. She grew up in a commune environment In Lawrence that she said was similar to the American Indian way of living. Her family lived on a farm north of town and lived off the crops. He grew. Naramore described her family as subsistence farmers and said this made her appreciate the land and develop her spiritual relationship with the earth.
As a teenager, Narnimore met an American Indian girl at school and became friends with her. She went with her friend's family across the country to different powwow sites summer. Narnimore said this gave her a unique insight into the way American Indians live. The insight she has gained in her
friendships with American Indians will help her in her career, Naramore said.
"Because I understand the white culture and the Indian culture I can be a bridge between the two," Naramore said. "I did receive a unique position because I was a friend, not an anthropologist or academic going into study them."
In Finland Naramore will study the land and water rights of the indigenous people and how the Finnish government has helped retain the culture and language of the Saami. During her trip, Naramore will not only focus on the aspects of the Saami's culture but also she will be comparing how the Finnish government has interacted with the Saami people compared to the United States government's interaction with the American Indians.
At the University of Oulu in Finland, Naramore will take four classes that will focus on all aspects of the Saumi people, such as identity, self-representation and traditional indigenous rights. A student mentor, called a kummi, will help acclimate
Naramore to the culture and the Finnish university. In exchange, a Finnish student will study at the University of Kansas and have a KU student be his mentor.
Fixico said he was eager to see what Naramore learned and experienced when she returns from Finland. The comparison of governments' interactions with indigenous people around the globe is a new area of research, and the insight Naramore can bring back to the Indigenous Nations program will benefit the entire program, Fixico said.
"Hopefully her trip will excite graduate students." Fixico said. In a way the trip is not just about the individual but for the whole program."
David Wiley, office of study abroad program coordinator, said Naramore going to Finland opened the door for more KU students to study in Finland, which has not been popular in the past, despite an opportunity to send many students there.
"This is a fantastic place that has been overlooked," Wiley said.

Belgium recognizes gay marriages

BRUSSELS Belgium -- Belgium became the second nation in the world to officially recognize gay marriages yesterday, when parliament backed the move with a majority.

"Yep, that's us"
Brandon Rakar/Kansas
Last spring, John Lomas maps caught the attention of the Kansas Water Office.
The maps were used to highlight areas of drought throughout the state.
John and Karen Pendleton stand in the middle of their perennial and semievergreen labyrinth on their farm east of Lawrence, Karen Pendleton said it normally was muddy in the winter. "The fact that we can walk out here shows we're in a drought," she said.
The research analyst for Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Solutions at the University of Kansas takes satellite data and creates maps of vegetation. His maps use plant greenness and surface temperature to determine plant condition.
"We started sending them the maps every week so they get a better idea of how they were doing throughout the state." said Lomas, assistant research scientist at KU.
"We had one of those at the Kansas State Fair and people would point and say 'yep that's us.' They were looking at the lit-

the pixels. The maps are very reflective," Ernst said.
Tom Lowe, environmental scientist for the Kansas Water Office, is in the process of revising the Governor's Drought Response Team.
Currently, the plan focuses on long-term drought conditions instead of droughts that can develop in the shorter term.
Spring outlook
As for this coming spring, the long-term outlook for the next three months calls for normal precipitation, Knapp said.
"We would really, really like
for that to happen because everyone is so dry," Knapp said.
Pendleton predicts if rainfall this year is consistent with last year's totals, some farms will be auctioned off, a few farmers might retire earlier then planned and some younger farmers might look for a job in town.
"That's huge because farmers don't consider it an occupation. They consider it a way of life." Pendleton said. "If you change that way of life it can be pretty traumatic."

Shoe bomber sentenced to life
BOSTON — Richard Roid, the self-described member of al-Qaida, lashed out at the U.S. government yesterday before he was sentenced to life in prison for trying to blow up a trans-Atlantic jetliner with explosives hidden in his shoes.
Raid, a 29 year-old British citizen who converted to Islam eight years ago, angrily denounced American foreign policy against Islamic countries.
"Your government has sponsored the torture of Muslims in Iraq, and Turkey, and Jordan and Syria with their money and weapons," he said. Reid had faced 60
Passengers and crew members overpowered Reid, using seat belts and their own belts to strap him to his seat. Two doctors who were passengers injected him with sedatives, and the flight was diverted to Boston.

But defense lawyers said he did not try to blow up the plane to wage war against America, but to defend Islam from attacks by the United States.
"Basically I got on the plane with a bomb. Basically I tried to ignite it. Basically, yeah, I intended to damage the plane," Reid said.

Tomorrow will be the last opportunity to see the men's and women's track teams compete at home during the indoor season. Kansas will host the Jayhawk Invitational today and tomorrow in the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, located immediately west of Allen Fieldhouse.
This is the second consecutive meet Kansas has hosted in Anschutz, and coach Stanley Redwine said last week the home field advantage helped the team place second in the KU/KSU/MU Triangular.
It's important for the team to have the fans in the meet, and it was really great last week for our fans to get a chance to see us at home.
Redwine said we want to continue its early-stage improvement.
"Last week we had a trail run and we want to let them break jets flying for the national championship," Redwine said. Tomorrow was competitive, and include all NCAA schools and several college that placed bantam titles in the National Junior College Championships last week.

Jayhawks may win battle but lose war
It all began in 1854 with two bordering states that had different laws regarding slavery. Those two states, Missouri and Kansas, would engage in battles before the Civil War, which involved burning, pillaging and murder.
Thus, the Border War.
The battles continue 149 years later between the University of Missouri and the University of Kansas in the form of athletics.
Before Oct. 23, 2002, the games played between the Jayhawks and Tigers were measured simply as bragging rights.
Then came the creation of the Border War Series. Missouri and Kansas compete in 17 competitions in different sports for the coveted Traveling Border War Cup. A scoring system awards points to the winning team. The team with the most overall points by June earns the trophy.
Who do we have to thank for this competition?
The Midwest Ford Dealers have sponsored the series, as you may have seen by its clever commercials.
In October, the Border War Series seemed like a great idea to spark fan involvement and to continue the rivalry between the two schools.
Missouri athletics director Michael Alden said the series would help both athletic programs.
"We are very pleased that the Midwest Ford Dealers have joined us in this venture, and we believe that their sponsorship will enable us to further enhance the exposure of our athletic programs through this series." Alden said.
As the season marches on, a sad truth about Kansas athletics is starting to develop. About a quarter of the way through the competition, the programs are not even by any rate.
The Tigers have dominated all but one match-up against the Jayhawks. The men's cross country team has earned the only point for Kansas in the Big 12 Championships. The team finished merely one position above the Tigers for eighth place overall. The volleyball team had two chances to gain points for Kansas but came away with zero in defeats at Columbia and in Lawrence. We all know what happened to the football team as they handed a whopping 3 points to Missouri. The soccer team also lost 3 possible points with a 2-0 defeat in Columbia. The women's swimming and

"I think it puts us in a position to control our own destiny," said sophomore guard Keith Langford after Monday night's 90-87 victory against Texas. Kansas will look to Langford, who is averaging 16.5 points a game, for strength when they take on Nebraska tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Sophomore guard Keith Langford has come a long way since his days as an unproven freshman, and much of that journey occurred in about two seconds during last year's game with Nebraska.
With then-junior guard Kirk Hinrich on the bench with five fouls and Kansas trailing by 2 points, the Jayhawks planned to put the ball in the hands of their record-setting three-point shooter, former guard Jeff Boschee. But when the play broke down, there was Langford, looking at an open shot from behind the arc. Despite shooting only 25 percent from three-point range, Langford drained the game-winning shot without hesitation.
Flash forward a year. Boschee is

Tomorrow afternoon, No. 8 Texas Tech (17-2, 6-1) will ride into town looking for a
third consecutive victory. The Red Raiders are tied with Texas for the conference's top record. Despite the steep competition, Kansas coach Marian Washington feels it is better for her team to play against the best.
"They're not just one of the best teams in the conference, but they're one of the best teams in the nation," Washington said. "This is where we're going to be eventually, so being in that arena with them is just going to help this ball club."
The Jayhawks have picked up steam in their last two contests, snapping both a 21-game overall conference losing streak by defeating Texas A&M and a seven-game losing streak to rival Nebraska.

Nike, KU join forces dress teams
By Kevin Flaherty

Kansas staff writer
Keith Langford switches shoes at halftime if he plays badly. Thanks to Nike, the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation can allow Langford to keep his unique habit.
Kansas signed a four-year contract with Nike that ends in June 2005. In the deal, Nike donated men's and women's basketball, football and cheerleading uniforms and shoes, while discounts, such as two-for-one shoes, are given for other sports, said Richard Konzem, Kansas senior associate athletics director. Konzem said that Nike had been sponsoring Kansas for years.
"Our initial contract was about eight years ago, and we entertained offers from Nike and Reebok." Konzem said. "We eventually went with Nike, and they offered free merchandise for all sports."
Nike's later contract did not have the all-inclusive offer, Konzem said.
Not only do the basketball and football teams receive free uniforms, the coaches for those teams are paid money to have their players wear the Nike swoosh, Konzem said.
The exact details on those contracts cannot be released, Konzem said.
Because Nike outfits most of the Jayhawk teams, they will periodically present KUAC with concepts for new uniforms. The choice is then up to Kansas to accept or decline the proposed change. For the most part, KUAC works with Nike during the changes.
Paul Vander Tuig, Kansas trademark and licensing director, said that he worked with Kansas football coach Mark Mangino in designing new football uniforms unveiled at the 2002 spring game.
"The first thing was that coach wanted to change the color to make it darker." Vander Tuig said. "It's not that navy is better than royal, but navy sells better."
Mangino also had ideas about the numbering of the jerseys, Vander Tuig said.
As director of trademark and licensing, it is Vander Tuig's job to put an identifying university mark on the uniforms. The mark on the football uniforms is a small Jayhawk on the yoke of the collar.
Konzem said that it was not unusual for a team to change its uniform in the off-season.
"We always modify the jerseys slightly from year to year," Konzem said. "We don't change the whole thing, but it could be as simple as changing the width of a stripe."
Sports that do not get free merchandise are allowed to find separate shoe sponsorship, like the men's golf team which is sponsored by Footjoy, a major golf shoe retailer.

Tomorrow will be the last opportunity to see the men's and women's track teams compete at home during the indoor season. Kansas will host the Jayhawk Invitational today and tomorrow in the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, located immediately west of Allen Fieldhouse.
This is the second consecutive meet Kansas has hosted in Anschutz, and coach Stanley Redwine said last week the home field advantage helped the team place second in the KU/KSU/MU Triangular.
"It's important for the team to have the fans at the meet, and it was really great last week for our fans to get a chance to

Redwine said he wanted the team to continue its early season success and improvement.
Tomorrow's competition will include all NCAA schools and any junior college that placed in the top 15 at the National Junior College Indoor Championships last year. Kansas, Cloud County Community College, Johnson County Community College, Kansas City Kansas Community College, Lincoln University, McKendree College, Northwest Missouri State, Oklahoma State, Oral Roberts University, Southwest Baptist University,
"Last week we had a really good meet, and we want to continue to have our athletes breaking school records and qualifying for the nationals," Redwine said.
"It is important for the team to have the fans at the meet, and it was really great last week for our fans to get a chance to see us at home."
Stanley Redwine Kansas track coach
Southwest Missouri State, Truman State and University of Missouri-Kansas City compete tomorrow. The field events begin at 10 a.m. and end at 2:30 p.m., and the track events run from noon to 4:15 p.m.
So far this season, the sprinters have given the team an early-season lift with junior Leo Bookman winning the 200-
meter dash and senior Anson Jackson winning the 60-meter hurdles last week for the men's team. Junior Robbie Harriford won both the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes last week for the women's team.
"The strength of our team is that we are well rounded. Right now the sprinters are competing strong, but we will continue to improve as a team," Redwine said.
"For us, every event is a key event, and the team is the most important part," Redwine said.
Today's section of the event will include National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics schools and junior colleges that did not place in the top 15 at the National Junior College Indoor Championships last season. Baker University, Benedictine University, Butler County Community College, Central Methodist College, Coffeyville Community College, Colby Community College, Cowley College, Haskell Indian Nations University, Lindenwood University, Missouri Valley College, McPherson College, Park University and Pratt Community College will compete today.
Redwine stressed that despite track being somewhat of an individual sport, he believes in the importance of a team mentality.
The field events run from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. today, and the track events start at 1 p.m. and end at 5:15 p.m. Both days of the event are free and open to the public.

Collison fills missing leadership role for team
Kansas forward Nick Collison became a leader on Monday night.
He all but willed his team to victory in a memorable and impressive performance that won the Jayhawks not only a conference basketball game,but something far less tangible and far more important.
The Jayhawks gained a leader, a general, someone to follow into battle. A person who gives his teammates the will to fight when things are at their worst and keeps them humble and working hard when they are at their best.
With the departure of Drew Gooden and Jeff Boschee, Kansas lost more than just points and rebounds, it lost leadership.
Whenever the lajhawks needed a big bucket, they would be there. Whether it was Gooden calling for the ball and delivering or Boschee nailing a big three with a hand in his face, these two understood how to lead.
Most expected Collison and fellow senior Kirk Hinrich to automatically step into these roles, but it's not that simple. Just as it is silly to believe a person automatically has enough responsibility to drive a car the day he turns 16, it is equally as absurd to assume that leadership is adopted by a star player just because it is his turn.
But during the first half of the must-win "Big Monday," it appeared as if Kansas was ready to pack it in as the team trailed by as many as 15 points.
That's when things changed. That's when Nick Collison stepped up and took charge. Collison single-handedly turned around a Kansas team that was facing its third straight defeat — its second straight in Allen Fieldhouse.
Michael Jordan has been called the greatest leader in sports because he makes the players around him better. On the court against Texas, Collison did the same.
The whole team witnessed the effort Collison put forth — how much he wanted to win, the fire in his eyes. This kind of effort brings teams together and pushes them to the next step.
Jayhawk fans might want to move their Spring Break trips from South Padre to wherever Kansas will be playing, in the NCAA tournament because this Kansas team has found itself, and it has Nick Collison to thank.

Oklahoma guard Price dominates in tough play against Texas A&M
By Kris Glenn Oklahoma Daily via U-wire University of Oklahoma
NORMAN, Okla. — Hollis Price gets plenty of attention for lighting up scoreboards and for last-second heroics.
While the Oklahoma senior guard is often featured in the spotlight for his ability to put the ball in the basket, his hard work and toughness on the court are sometimes left in the shadows.
News channels across the country showed viewers the barrage of Price baskets that lifted No. 6 OU over the Aggies 75-68.
En route to pouring in 24 points against Texas A&M on Tuesday night, the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year showed the nation why he deserves the title. The game was broadcast on ESPN.

With minutes remaining in the contest, an A&M shot came off the rim only to find itself in a tug-of-war on the floor. No. 10 came up with the prize, pointing his finger toward the Sooner basket.
When Price does get attention for his hard-nosed, energetic play, he instantly gives credit to the team's identity.
"That's Sooner basketball." he said. "The little things is what gets us to win games. That's just the toughness of our program."

texas A&M guard Bernard King, a former AAU teammate of Price, described him as the heart and soul of the Sooners.
Aggie coach Melvin Watkins made a point after the game to confirm with Price that this season is indeed his last in an OU uniform.
"He's just a competitor." Watkins said. "You know he's going to find a way to help his team win."
Sampson said he knows he has something special in Price.
"The thing I've enjoyed about coaching both Hollis and Eduardo (Najera) is they're stars and they don't act like it," Sampson said. "They don't want star treatment. They're the hardest workers in practice. They get it done in the classroom and the weight room. They're leaders, great role models for our younger players. That's what makes them special."

Play-by-play announcers for the University of Kansas radio station KJHK 90.7 FM, John Grimmett and Kevin Flaherty, invite you to listen in as they call tomorrow's women's basketball game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders live from Allen Fieldhouse. Below Grimmett and Flaherty bring your expectations for the game.
The Kansas women will come into tomorrow's match-up with Texas Tech riding high on a two-game winning streak. With impressive victories at Texas A&M and against Nebraska, the Jayhawks have won two consecutive games against Big 12 competition. Kansas does have talent, but the talent is very young and still inexperienced. With Texas Tech (17-2, 6-1) currently ranked No. 8 in the nation, the Jayhawks are going to need a lot of help. That help must come in the
form of Tamara Ransburg. Ransburg will be given the assignment of guarding one of the nation's best inside players, Texas Tech's Plenate Pierson. Pierson comes into tomorrow's match-up averaging 18.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. If the Jayhawks want to pull off the upset tomorrow, it will take their best game of the season and probably a little more. Look for Red Raiders to roll in Allen Fieldhouse.
This should be a match-up to see whoever can pound the ball inside the best. Texas Tech comes in at No. 8 in the nation and is a tough game for anybody because of its talent on both ends of the floor. The offense has scored 95 or more points four times, and the defense held Missouri to 13 points in the first half. The

Kansas readies for last meet

4 FT.
Junior Maegen Himes races toward the wall in the 100-yard breaststroke in last Saturday's meet at Robinson Center. The Jayhawks will face Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark., at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
The Kansas swimming and diving team will partake in its final road meet of the season against the Arkansas Razorbacks at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Favetteville, Ark.
"Arkansas is going to be hard to beat," Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said. "They are a totally different team this year because they've got a good recruiting class."
Kansas is 7-4 in dual meets and 17-2 lifetime against Arkansas. In its last contest, it defeated Colorado State 174-125, but lost to Minnesota with a score of 110-189 Saturday in Lawrence.
"It's nice to know that we've been been stronger than them in the past," junior Kristen Johnson said. "That'll give us more confidence going down there this year."
Last season, Kansas triumphed over Arkansas in Robinson Nataatorium 169-130. The Jayhawks took 10 first-place finishes out of 16 events.
Sophomore Amy Gruber captured three first-place titles in the 100-yard freestyle, 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard butterfly. Senior Gwen Haley won the
200-yard butterfly and 400-yard individual medley events. Johnson won the 200-yard breaststroke race.

Commission votes to alter Title IX
WASHINGTON — A sharply divided Bush administration advisory commission voted yesterday to change a landmark gender-equity law that substantially increased the number of female athletes, but the panel stopped short of the major overhaul some women's advocates feared.
The Commission on Opportunity in Athletics considered two dozen recommendations for Title IX in two days of sometimes contentious meetings. The most sweeping recommendations were defeated, and the panel deadlocked 7-7 on a proposal to make a major change.
That proposal called for altering the requirement that the ratio of male and female athletes at colleges and universities be
roughly the same as the overall student body.
The Associated Press
Commissioner Lisa Graham Keegan showed up after the plan was considered and left the meeting early without talking to reporters about why she missed the vote.
The commission will forward a report to Education Secretary Rod Paige, who will consider changes to Title IX.
Basketball

It will be an important game for the Jayhawks if they want to contend for the Big 12 Conference title. After losing to Colorado, the Jayhawks are in a two-way tie for third place in the league. A win against Texas kept Kansas in the running, a fact not lost on Langford.
"I think it puts us in a position to control our own destiny," he said after Monday's game.
Whatever the Jayhawks' destiny may be, they'll have to get by Nebraska (9-10, 1-5) first. The Cornhuskers are the second in a stretch of 12 consecutive Big 12 games that includes a home game against rival Missouri on Monday.
Focusing on Nebraska could be a difficult task, junior forward
Jeff Graves said at yesterday's press conference.

"It will be real hard not to overlook Nebraska."
"It will be real hard not to overlook Nebraska," he said.
If Kansas players need motivation to face the Cornhuskers, they might want to consider that Nebraska defeated Colorado in the same Bob Devaney Sports Center that is the site for tomorrow's game.
The Jayhawks should also remember their history, Kansas coach Roy Williams said yesterday.
"I think the guys that were on the team last year, which is the majority of our team, realize that we beat them easily here and
then had to fight for our lives up there, so they understand that part of it for sure," he said.
Kansas will meet the Cornhuskers without sophomore forward Wayne Simien.
Williams said Simien will miss his eighth consecutive game after separating his shoulder in a game against the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Ian.4.
"He will not play Saturday and not play Monday night," Williams said. "So we're still just hanging in there and waiting to see what happens. It's discouraging for him as it is all of us, but he will not play this weekend."
Simien has been involved in limited practice situations, but his progress has been slowed by continued pain in the shoulder, he said.

everybody's beatable, but we've just got to go out and focus," Burras said.
Freshman guard Erica Hallman has also stepped up lately for the Jayhawks in her continued role coming off the bench. Hallman continues to lead the team in bench points with 8.6 points per game and averages a team-high 3.7 assists per game.
"Every game in the Big 12
In Kansas' last game against a top-10 team, they suffered
an 88-49 beating from Kansas State. Washington does not want her players going into the game overconfident with their last two victories, but they should still be giving their all.
"I think they have to understand that they are the future," Washington said. "I want them to go in there without feeling pressure."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Jan. 31).
The more old issues you resolve this year, the more confident you'll become. That's always the case, but it's really noticeable now. So don't avoid the uncomfortable situations. Deal with them, and accelerate your ascent to success.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 9.
If there's something you don't want to talk about, don't. If it won't further the action, keep it to yourself. There's no time, anyway. Things are moving too fast.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 5.
It's not a great idea to try to argue the minority opinion now. You could be right, but that won't get you far with a person whose mind has slammed shut. Save your breath.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
You're not quite done with the homework yet, even if you think you are. Try one or two other tricks to cost costs even more. That'll impress your friends and loved ones.
Cancer (June 22- July 22). Today is a 6.
Let a spokesperson explain your
plans. That might be more effective. Besides, it's good for others to
know you're not out there all by yourself.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
An expert can help alleviate the pressure you're under at work.
Don't feel bad _ there's no way you'd ever have thought of this all by yourself.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
A few choice words are necessary to have the job go the way you want. Don't be afraid to say those words when the moment is right. You'll know when.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8.
The day gets more fun as you go along, and not just because it's a Friday. The weekend will be awesome for romance, starting tonight. Set it up.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 5.
When you focus your attention,
you're awesome. That's liable to
happen this weekend. Your home and/or
something in it will never be the same. Unleash your creative powers.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is an 8.
Put every penny you can into the best educational materials. You should also find a way to write them off, since you'll eventually use them to benefit others.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
You may have to holler to be heard above the din. Don't be shy. Your income will go up along with your volume. Let people know what you've got.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.
Your planning phase should be nearing completion. New, brilliant ideas come tonight and over the weekend. A gathering of like-minded souls could be the perfect environment, and also a lot of fun.
Pisces(Feb. 19-March 20).Today is a 6.
It's good to spend some time by yourself in quiet contemplation.
Schedule more of that for this weekend. It'll help get you ready for new responsibilities.

Senior Nick Collison nabbed a career high 23 rebounds to complement his 24 points against Texas. After his impressive performance Monday night, eyes are on Collison to lead the Jayhawks to defeat the Cornhuskus.
When Kansas and Nebraska take the floor tomorrow at 1 p.m. at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Neb., the Jayhawks and Cornhuskers will be meeting at different points in their seasons.
Nebraska (9-10 overall, 1-5 Big 12 play) still has its tough stretch ahead of them.

After losing to No. 25 Missouri 63-56 Wednesday night, Nebraska's next five games are against Big 12 powers Kansas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Texas and Missouri, again.
Kansas is coming off a 91-74 defeat to No. 1 Arizona and a 90-87 victory over No. 3 Texas in what many labeled as the toughest part of the Jayhawks' schedule.
"You look at that," sophomore forward John Turek said. "But we're not like 'Oh, no, the next six games are against Top 25.' We're trying to keep our heads up."
The Huskers may strive to keep their heads up when treading the waters of the Big 12 Conference, but their shooting percentage rivals the bitter-cold air of winters
in Lincoln.
Entering tomorrow's game, Nebraska is shooting 41.1 percent from the floor as a team. In comparison, Kansas is leading the Big 12 with a 49.8 shooting clip from the field.
"It's not the same (from game to game), although I think there's
been a fairly consistent struggle to shoot the ball," Nebraska coach Barry Collier said. "It's a combination of a lack of experience, and I just think we're pressing a bit."
During the last five games, the Huskers have shot worse during the second half than the first half.
In Wednesday night's defeat to the Tigers, Nebraska went to the halftime break with a 31-22 lead after shooting 39.3 percent from the floor.
But the second half saw the Huskers' shooting percentage dip to 30.9 percent leading to 25 second-half points.
"It's just patience," Turek said. "A lot of times, we've been settling for the outside shot. We just need to have the patience to work the ball around and get a better shot."
Much of the offensive problems for Nebraska have been a result of the absence of point guard and team captain Jake Muhleisen, who injured himself in a 92-59 defeat to Kansas on Jan. 11. Since Muhleisen was declared lost for the season with a broken hip socket, Nebraska has lost four of its last five games.
Senior guard Brennon Clemmons said the offensive philosophy had not changed without Muhleisen, but he said the Huskers needed to perform better in game situations.
"In practice, we beat each other up," Clemmons said. "Everybody wants to play, and in order to play you have to show you can. We have good practices, hard practices, but we've got to carry it on to the court."
Texas Tech hopes to crush Kansas' self-esteem

The Kansas women's basketball team will go for its third straight victory when it hosts No. 8 Texas Tech at 2.05 p.m. tomorrow.
The Jayhawks will face a tough test as they try to continue their winning ways. The Red Raiders have won the last three meetings between the teams and currently sit atop the Big 12 conference standings. Texas Tech also leads the conference in scoring, averaging 76.6 points a game and are winning games by an average of 20 points.
"They're not just one of the best teams in the conference. They are one of the best teams in the nation," Washington said. "Being in that arena with them is going to help this ball club."
Kansas coach Marian Washington acknowledges her players may have their hands full.

The Jayhawks have seen improvement as of late. Kansas has moved out of the Big 12 cellar with back-to-back victories and leads the conference in free throw percentage, giving them some optimism going into the game.
"With two wins now the confidence level certainly is stronger," Washington said. "We're going to figure out what game plan we need to have and their job is to try and stay disciplined throughout the ball game and see if we can make a game of it."
The Red Raiders are led by the conference's fourth leading
scorer, Plenette Pierson, who is scoring 18.5 points per game. Pierson and teammate Jia Perkins also lead Texas Tech in rebounding, pulling down 7.4 a contest. Perkins is the team's second leading scorer at 16.4 points a game. Texas Tech junior Jolee Ayers had a career high 22 points against Kansas last season. The trio provides the Red Raiders with plenty of offensive weapons.
But Kansas has a rising star of
its own. Freshman Crystal Kemp has averaged 20 points per game in her last three outings and has been the key to the Jayhawks resurgence. Kemp said that her team must pick up where it left off.
"We're just going to go out there and work as hard as we can," Kempsaid. "All we can do is go out and play our game."

Freshman guard Erica Hallman has come strongly off the bench with a team-leading 3.7 assists per game.

BASEBALL Texas baseball team favored by coaches
DALLAS — Texas has been picked by coaches as the favorite to win the Big 12 this season.
Atter Texas, league coaches predicted a finishing order of Baylor, Oklahoma, Nebraska Texas Tech, Oklahoma State Texas A&M, Kansas State, Missouri and Kansas. Colorado and Iowa State don't have baseball teams.
New Kansas coach Ritch Price is the only coach who has seen his team play, as the Jayhawks (4-2) began the season with three straight doubleheaders last weekend in Hawaii, where the temperature was 81 degrees
- 87 degrees warmer than the subzero weather back in Kansas.
