Crash stirs KU response

As the space shuttle Columbia broke apart over Texas Saturday morning, Suzy Thompson was on her way to California to start working for NASA.
Thompson, Youngstown, Ohio, graduate student in Aerospace Engineering, was driving through Flagstaff, Ariz., when she first heard the news on the radio. Thompson tuned into AM radio stations and followed the news while trying to remain calm.
"In the morning, I was shocked," she said. "And I was thinking that things will
be different and kind of wondered about my own job security."
Although the Columbia space shuttle crashed Saturday, Thompson said she thought the NASA program would survive. The NASA programs across the country are close-knit, and if something happens, all employees are affected, Thompson said.
But Thompson is still enthusiastic about working for the space program. She said she could bring new energy to NASA. All the other students interested in working for NASA across the country also will be able to bring innovative ideas to the space program.
This is a great time for upcoming stu
ents to bring their ideas to NASA," Thompson said. "I'm hoping to bring all the knowledge I've learned in the last few years and make space exploration and experimentation better."
Trevor Sorensen, associate professor of aerospace engineering, said students would not be deterred because they were so passionate and determined to be involved in space travel.
"I don't think the Columbia disaster will change their minds," Sorensen said. "This proves to students they have to be very conscientious when working on something that involves a lot of money and people's lives."
Both Thompson and Sorensen said
the tragedy would bring the public's attention back to the space program and there would be a renewed interest in NASA.
When the space shuttle Challenger exploded in the mid-1980s, Sorensen was working in mission control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
Sorensen was friends with several of the astronauts who went up in the Challenger. The Columbia disaster was not as personal for Sorensen as the Challenger was, but Sorensen said he understood what NASA and the families of the astronauts were going through.
Illegal art outlet for expression

Graffiti and golf are one and the same they demand walking, a lot of it.
For Andrew Giessel, a former graffiti writer, only one of those hobbies has taken him all over Lawrence and only one could have taken him to jail.
Graffiti
In tomorrow's paper, part two of the five-part series will highlight Nata Vormahr, a local graffiti writer who got caught.
His illegal hobby carried a lighter load, though. Compare a one-pound spray can that rattles faintly as he walks down the alley to a 30-pound bag of clinking golf clubs on the green.
Graffiti writers break the law and are beating the law in Lawrence. It involves spraying or marking a surface — sometimes the back door of The Children's Book Shop on Massachusetts Street, the sidewalk in front of the courthouse or the catwalks under the I-70 bridge over the Kansas River.
The Art of Puppetry
Their motivations for writing graffiti vary, considering their different walks of life:
Andrew Giessuel — a Larned senior majoring in computer science and biochemistry, self-described as a farm boy who picked up a spray can and started painting.
Kat Dessert, a soft-spoken "earth momma" and Wheatfield's pastry chef whose cosmic persona is instilled in her aerosolized stencils. Her artwork delights those walking the alleys and the rooftops

Biology class gives deep-sea experience
By Amy Potter

Kansan staff writer
Jessica Proctor didn't think she was going to have a course in marine biology until graduate school.
This summer, the Lenexa freshman will have the opportunity to take a three-credit marine biology course with an optional eight-day field trip to an island in the Caribbean Sea.
"Talways figured I'd have to transfer to a coastal college to get that kind of opportunity." Proctor said. "It was not
something I expected at KU."
James Thorp, professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, will take at least 11 students to Roatan Island off the coast of Honduras. He said his class would give students an unusual opportunity to take marine biology at the University.
Students will learn about ocean and deep-sea topics with a strong emphasis placed on coral reefs in the course offered at the Lawrence campus, Thorp said. During the optional field trip, students will study everything from dolphins to algae.
"I graduated from KU in 1970," Thorp
Anyone can take the course, but the department recommends that students complete a year of biology or environmental science before going. Thorp said.
said. "I was interested in marine biology but they didn't teach it here. One of the things I wanted to do when I came back was to teach it."
Working with Thorp, the Office of Study Abroad is responsible for processing student applications for the trip, said Angela Dittrich, program coordinator.
"It's a rare opportunity being a student in Kansas to experience something not so readily accessible," Dittrich said.
"Obviously, firsthand experience is much more educational," she said.
The field trip will cost between $1,500 and $1,700, which includes airfare, room and board and activity fees.
Proctor said she was grateful to be able to see the field of marine biology at such an early stage in her college career.
"It will be a good learning experience and a way to make contact with other people in the field." Proctor said.
Applications are due to the Office of Study Abroad by March 1.

University helps fund Christian association
The University of Kansas Student Senate approved about $400 funding last Wednesday for College Community, a campus Christian organization, making them the first Christian organization to be funded by the University.
By Cal Creek
creeek@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Roland applied for about $400 in funding from Senate in early January. On Jan. 22, he spoke before the student affairs committee.
When Overland Park sophomore Mark Roland went to the Senate offices, he was simply curious about the legislative process for organizations to receive funding from the Senate.
"I had no idea what was going on," Roland said.
He hoped to begin work on a bill that would allow College Community to receive money for advertising, Web sites and upcoming projects. Soon he was in the middle of a legislative movement involving question-and-answer sessions with the Senate, rules and regulations, and a ground-breaking decision.
"There was really no discussion whatsoever," said Kyle Johnson, finance committee chair and Wichita junior. "They were just requesting the general amount."
A week later, Senate approved the funding when the bill was put on the consent agenda.
"They asked me if we were open to everyone," Roland said, "They had a lot on their agenda."
Senate approved the bill because it must fund all groups in the same manner. While the organization received the full amount of funding, Senate made it clear that the money was to be used to promote its meetings, but not its activities or beliefs. Johnson said if the money was misused, all funding would be severed and an undecided disciplinary action would be created and enforced.
Worship leader Jon Crawford said the money would ease finance problems for the group.
"Up to this point, any expenses the members have to pay themselves," Crawford, Tulsa, Okla., junior, said.
Student Senate allotted the money for advertising, postage, office supplies printing and duplication.
The group meets Sundays at 11 a.m. and Crawford said he thought people would enjoy coming to the College Community.
Johnson encouraged other Christian organizations to apply for funding.

Fort Hays begins charging for admission to museum
HAYS—For the first time since it opened in 1967, Historic Fort Hays is charging admission.
Spurred by the state's budget crunch, the site will now charge adults $3, seniors and members of the Kansas State Historical Society $2, and students $1 for admission.
Fort Hays draws about 40,000 visitors a year. Museum administrator Bob Wilhelm believes the fees will hurt numbers at first.
"For so many years the local people around here are familiar with the fact that we don't charge admission," he said. "After a period of time, we expect they'll come back."
In its heyday, Fort Hays was the home of such notables as "Wild Bill" Hickock, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Gen. Phillip H. Sheridan, Lt. Col. George A. Custer, Col. Nelson Miles and the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiments, better known as the Buffalo Soldiers.

Columbia experienced rise in fuselage heat before crash
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Just before it disintegrated, the space shuttle Columbia experienced a sharp and sudden rise in temperature on its fuselage, NASA said Sunday.
The sharp rise was followed by increased drag on the spacecraft that caused its flight system to adjust its path.
NASA space shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore cautioned that the information was preliminary but said it could suggest that the thermal tiles that are designed to protect the shuttle from burning up during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere were damaged or missing, possibly from an episode earlier in the shuttle's flight.
"We've got some more detective work. But we're making progress inch by inch." Dittemore said.
Dittemore said the engineering data showed a temperature rise of 20 to 30 degrees in the left wheel well of the shuttle about seven minutes before communication was lost with the spacecraft.
There was an even more significant temperature rise—about 60 degrees over five minutes—in the middle left side of the fuselage, he said.
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Today in 1903, Jack Johnson became the first ever Negro Heavyweight Champion. Johnson, who would later go on to become the first ever African-American world-heavyweight champion when he defeated Jim Jeffries in 1908, was a starcrossed figure, whose clashes in the ring with Jeffries sparked race riots. The Texas Legislature later banned footage of the last fight between Jeffries and Johnson, in which Johnson became champion, because they feared further rioting.
Baseball League featured such Negro League legends as Cool Papa Bell and Josh Gibson, as well as future Major League Baseball players Leroy "Satchel" Paige and Jackie Robinson.
On February 3,1920, The Negro National Baseball League was founded. The most successful of dozens of colored baseball leagues, the Negro National
Autherine J. Lucy became the first African-American student attend the University of Alabama today in 1956. Three days later Lucy was expelled "for her own safety" after fierce antidesegregation protests. In 1992 Lucy graduated from the University of Alabama with a masters degree in education on the same day her daughter, Grazia Foster, graduated bachelor's degree in corporate finance.

Students give back help construct home
By Jessica Palimenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
About 20 members of the Delta Chi fraternity woke up early Saturday morning to help build a home for Kathy Todd and her 15-year-old son Ryan.
Todd's house is one of three Habitat for Humanity houses being built at 17th and Harper streets.
The group spent most of its time at the site installing the tresses for the roof of the house.
The men did not need any experience to volunteer for the program.
"A few of the guys had prior experience, but in general we're all just learning," said Brian Wolf, Lenexa sophomore and community service chair of Delta Chi.
Each morning Mark Brooks, site construction manager, teaches the volunteers the skills they need to accomplish the day's tasks and oversees their work.
"I really just kind of direct traffic," Brooks said.
Volunteers complete all the work on the houses except what requires a licensed professional, like heating or electricity.
It was a lot of hard work but each of the volunteers was happy to help.
"To give four hours back to the community to build a house for someone is nothing," said Andy Janish, Leawood freshmen and Delta Chi member. "The hardest part was getting out of bed this morning."
All of the home recipients were thankful to receive help from the volunteers.
"It's a blessing. They are all really doing a good job,"Todd said.
Each home recipient is required to help with the construction.
The program requires they work 175 hours on their home and 50 hours on another house, said Andre Bollaar, executive director of Habitat for Humanity.
Other KU students volunteering at the site, as well.
"We've got a lot of students who come out and help." Bolaert said.
Howard Lubliner, graduate student in civil engineering, volunteers at the site almost every weekend with a group of friends.
"I think the workers that come from KU are invaluable." he said.
The 1,162 square foot house is scheduled to be finished by the end of March. Todd and her son will move in April 1.

Full-service salon just a hair away
By Kelley Weiss

Kansan staff writer
students can now buy a sandwich at Yello Sub, a beer at The Crossing and get a haircut without walking more than a few feet.
Head Rush opened last week in the building between Yello Sub and The Crossing at 622 12th St. Head Rush is a full-service salon offering haircuts, color, highlights and styling.
"Most of the people who have come in so far are guys," Carey said. "They just want a quick cut and I've even done color for one
I will do it. I'm ready to
Carey said about 20 people had come into the store in the last week and about half of them made appointments.
"I enjoy working with the students because there is always such a big variety of customers."
Cora Carey is the owner of the salon, and this is her first business. Before opening Head Rush, she worked at Get Ready, located at Seventh and Vermont Streets.

guy. I think the guys come into this shop because it doesn't look really feminine."
Cora Carey, Head Rush owner, styles Melissa Koehler's hair. Carey opened Head Rush, 622 12th st., last week in between Yello Sub and the Crossing.
Carey kept the design of the salon simple with clean lines. She wanted the shop to have an open space with an industrial look.
The location is a great place for student traffic because of how close it is to campus, Carey said. Head Rush will be accessible for students who don't have cars or want to get a haircut in between classes.
Carey is also pleased with the location of her store because she
likes to interact with the students.
"I like to stay up with what's going on on campus," Carey said. "I enjoy working with the students because there is always such a big variety of customers."
Bob Jones, Yello Sub owner, said that Head Rush had a prime location and should do well. Jones said he expected Head
Rush to get a lot of foot traffic and didn't think the clientele would take up many parking spaces, which had always been a problem in that location.
A Great Clips will open on the third level of the Kansas Union in mid-February, but Carey said she didn't think it would affect her business.
Art students dance to aid dipping funds
—Edited by Anne Mantey
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan writer
More than 100 members of the School of Fine Arts community danced, dipped and twisted to music that filled the Kansas Union Ballroom Saturday night during the Snow Ball, a formal dance to benefit the school.
"I was surprised at the amount of people that came," Rebecca Laursen, Trumbull, Conn., senior, said. "When I was in the ballroom, everyone was dancing and having fun. It was really pretty when the lights were turned down."
A student committee organized the Snow Ball to help purchase specialized equipment for the school such as digital cameras and computer hardware. Tickets, $10 per person or $15 per couple, were sold at the door.
The committee started brainstorming ideas in October for the event and planned to keep the dance as cheap as possible. The committee met once a week to work on budgeting, publicity, decorations and goals for the fundraiser.
The committee has direct control over the money raised by Saturday's event, said Ashley Peterson, committee chairwoman and Smith Center senior. After tallying its profit, the committee will decide how much will go to each department in the school and buy specific items from a list compiled by students. She said the dance raised about $700 after expenses to benefit the school.
Peterson, a former student senator member, and Fine Arts senators polled students last spring to create a prioritized list of equipment students wanted. The committee will select what equipment to buy soon.
"I think its a good thing that students are raising money, but there shouldn't be shortfalls for us to make up for," Tommy Bobo, Fine Arts student senator, said. "We shouldn't have to take it into our own hands"
Peterson said the committee planned to combine the money
raised from the Snow Ball with technology funding allocated to the School of Fine Arts through tuition increases.
"We obviously aren't going to raise enough money to buy everything on the list," Peterson said. "But we can stretch our money by combining with the tuition enhancement money to cover most of the things that are on that list."
The committee plans to make the Snow Ball an annual event. Planning for next year's ball will begin next month.
"We'd like to get more of the campus and the public involved," Peterson said.

MU pot plan sets example for University
Breaking the law should have its consequences, but smoking pot shouldn't ruin a person's education.
On April 8, the voters of Columbia Mo., will vote on a city ordinance concerning the decriminalization of medicinal marijuana and reducing the penalties for being caught with less than 35 grams of marijuana.
Instead of facing a maximum penalty of $1,000 and possible jail time, the offenders will face a maximum $25 fine for a first offense, $50 for a second, $100 for a third and $500 for a fourth or subsequent offense.
Also, if University of Missouri students are caught with less than 35 grams of pot, they won't face losing their financial aid.
Now under the Higher Education Act of 1998, students convicted of possessing or selling illegal drugs can be denied federal financial aid.
Imagine losing your scholarship over a parking ticket while even students convicted of violent crimes wouldn't lose their financial aid.
Now, KU students who are caught with pot can face a maximum penalty of a $2,500 fine, a little more than a year in jail and the possibility of losing their financial aid. The decision to eliminate a student's financial aid needs to be based on academic performance, not extracurricular activities.
In the last two years, more than 91,000 college students have lost their financial aid because of drug convictions.
The University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence should adopt an ordinance that doesn't jeopardize a person's education based on a lifestyle choice.

ISS essential for foreign students
PERSPECTIVE
When good people are beleaguered by bad publicity, supporters must stand up
and be counted.
Among the international students, this situation is no exception. A hacker downloaded data about international students, and we panicked and became critical of International Student Services.
Those of us who have much to be thankful to ISS for should stand up and support ISS. This is not just to motivate its tireless and very helpful employees, but also to count our blessings that ISS is not staffed by the nuts we keep hearing about in the news at other universities. Also, some of these employees are our own fellow international students

GUEST COMMENTARY
The International Student Services is a body set up at the University of Kansas for processing the documentation of international students. Technically, ISS is only supposed to verify if an international student has complied with immigration formalities. If I had to do this job, I would be intensely short-tempered and impatient with non-native English speakers. But ISS is not only experienced in tackling these issues, they also do it with great understanding and patience.
LETTER GUIDELINES
GUEST COLUMN GUIDELINES
The Kansan welcomes letters to the editors and guest columns submitted by students, alumni and faculty.
The Kansan reserves the right to edit, cut to length, or reject all submissions. For any questions, call Amanda Sears or Lindsay Hanson at 864-4924 or e-mail at opinion@kansan.com. If you have general questions or comments, e-mail the readers' representative at
In addition to new students, the staff at ISS also has to deal with hard-nosed INS officials, among others.
SUBMITTING LETTERS AND GUEST COLUMNS
The Kansun will run as many submissions as possible that conform to these guidelines.
I encourage all of our international students to express their thanks to these individuals whenever possible.
These are activities that the ISS does purely from its own altruistic motivation and from the point of view of bettering the life of the international students. For the argumentative ones among us: yes, the ISS does charge a fee for the orientation part of their services. But consider the pricier alternative. And what about ISS' contributions to the International Students Association where ISS coordinators have helped in an exemplary fashion?
With the new international students' monitoring system in place, most international students have been shielded from its very demanding requirements, precisely because of ISS. At the end of last year, the flurry of information sent from
This article is written to dispel the negative impression of ISS that some of you may have acquired because of the ongoing hacker problem. ISS is not any run-of-the-mill bureaucracy but is composed of very caring individuals to whom I am very thankful.

Yes, the hacking is a serious incident which is exactly why so many authorities are investigating it. No, ISS doesn't deserve personalized criticism because it was not a deliberate act and because it made amends immediately by warning us and informing us of remedial measures.

E-mail:
But, at least at KU, ISS staff members are more than just paper pushers. They receive international students, make them feel comfortable, organize their orientation, run these students to grocery stores, entertain them and provide that hand of support during the first few months that is so sorely needed. For anyone who has been to a foreign land, you will appreciate how much of a hassle it is to find a place to live in, especially if you have to pay hotel fees.
ISS, to keep us all in good status, is an indicator of how much proactive care they take. The other major official role of ISS is when we need work permits of different types whether it is a hardship permit or an optional practical training permit. The specific guidance we get during these times is praiseworthy.
PERSPECTIVE
Students go to great lengths to be cool
When I was at the KU-Arizona basketball game, I saw Arizona coach Lute Olson on
the sidelines.
He just might have been the coolest guy I've ever seen in my entire life.
He had the most beautiful platinum coif in the world, an impeccable double-breasted suit with brass buttons, and he walked like John Wayne going into a shootout.
I got to thinking, man I wish I could be that cool. But if I dressed and looked like that I would look like a bus boy on a cruise ship.
But someday, maybe someday, I will have it all together at one time like coach Olson and I could be half as cool as him
Whether we want to admit it or not, this drive to be cool is what drives us as college students and what drives most of America.
be cool. We buy DVDs, big televisions and sport utility vehicles to be cool. We go against the trends and conformity to be cool. We watch humiliating reality shows just to reinforce that we are cool. Everything that is advertised or sold to us has been researched for hours to make sure it is cool so people ages 18-35 will buy it.
We go to school to get a cool job. We stay on top of music and fashion trends to
COMMENTARY
For example, take the new MTV show MADE, in which MTV helps random

people achieve an unlikely or nearly impossible goal. They have shown an overweight thespian who dreams of being a cheerleader, a dorky band that wants to be rock stars and a small and unathletic kid who wants to be on the varsity basketball team. But what these people truly want to be is cool, and MTV is happy to hook it up. If being in drama was cool in high school, then the girl wouldn't want to be a cheerleader.
The subject of "cool" is a very sensitive subject because for every person or thing that is cool, there is an equal or greater amount of people or things that aren't cool.
What is "cool" is also very subjective and open to different interpretations, but it is pretty universal that we all want to be it.
Our drive to be cool is like an endless circle. Once we think we have made it, trends and people have moved on.
This doesn't apply to just people,but all facets of life.The one thing that fascinates
me the most about college life is the whole "cool bar rotation."
You know what I'm talking about. One bar is the place to be on a certain night, and everyone wants to go there to see and be seen. But then that place gets old because too many people go there, and then, for some reason, another bar out of no where gets hot and everyone wants to go that place.
There are many types of cool. There is classy cool as exhibited by Lute Olson. There is Humphrey Bogart; the cold and distant cool. You can never forget the hipster / urban cool. And there is always the player / pimp cool beaten down on us by athletes and rock stars. Then there is the not-cool cool look as exhibited by Wes Anderson, Weezer or anyone with a mullet. I almost forgot the Filipino-columnist-chic look. I heard that look is real big on the East coast.
But in the end, we never really get there, and we all just got left behind in the trail of dust that is cool.
Then we are left with capri pants, lowcarb diets, a barb wire tattoo, a Hootie and the Blowfish album, an iMac and stocks of a bankrupt Web site.
But, as we all know, it's the effort that counts.

Kaspars to help alumna fight battle with cancer
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bonnie Luther felt great when she went in to her doctor's office for a routine check-up.
She left with the knowledge that she had cervical cancer and her life was in jeopardy.
"When the doctor told me, I didn't believe him," Luther said. "I wasn't sick at all or showing any signs that something was wrong."
Luther discovered she had cancer in September, after she had just received her master's degree in social welfare.
After graduation, she had left her job as a waitress at Kaspars Bar and Grill, 3115 W. Sixth St., to start her career as a social worker at Kennedy and Sunflower elementary schools.
But, after that not-so-routine physical, she was left battling
Now, her former co-workers are doing what they can to help.
canceralone—or so she thought.
"I was just shocked when I found out," Tom Conroy, Kaspars co-owner, said. "It's a real tragedy because she's so young and so nice."
Kaspars will host a benefit on Friday, Feb. 28, and all the profits will go to pay for Luther's medical and living expenses, bills that have been piling up for four months.
Luther said she stopped counting when the total surpassed $60,000.
The benefit will have a raffle that will include a basketball signed by the 1998 KU men's basketball team. There will also be a performance by Punk Freud.
"We've never done anything like this before," Conroy said. "But I've been really surprised by the reaction so far."

Frankie Conroy, co-owner of Kaspars, spends time with Luther and takes her to the hospital for treatment whenever she can.
"The help they've given me has been great," Luther said. "Everything they've done has been overwhelming."

Student loses work in crash
OMAHA, Neb. — A University of Nebraska-Lincoln researcher watched in disbelief as the space shuttle Columbia appeared to break up as it was approaching its landing scheduled Saturday.
Biochemist Hideaki Moriyama had several experiments on board. He sent small vials of proteins on the mission in hopes of finding important clues about diseases like HIV-AIDS. Huntington's and Alzheimer's.
"I can't believe it," he told The Associated Press by telephone after he watched with fellow researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "I am very much upset. I hope they can salvage something but I don't have any ideas right now."
Creighton University graduate Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Anderson was payload commander on the flight that lost contact with NASA about 8 a.m. CST, nearly an hour prior to its scheduled touchdown in
Florida.
Anderson was one of seven crew members on board the shuttle that was returning from a 16-day journey in space. The crew also included Israel's first astronaut, Ilan Ramon, a colonel in Israel's air force.
Anderson, who has logged more than 211 hours in space, earned a master's of science degree in physics from Creighton in 1990.
"With the rest of the nation and world, we at Creighton University are profoundly saddened by today's tragic loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia," said the Rev. John P. Schlegel, president of Creighton. He said prayers go out for the families of the shuttle crew, especially Anderson's wife, Sandra Hawkins, and his daughters, Sidney and Casey.
Schlegel said Anderson was on campus to receive the Graduate School Alumni Merit Award after his 1998 shuttle mission and was planning a return visit this spring.
"Michael was an exceptional alumnus and a wonderful representative of Creighton," Schlegel said. "He told us after his first Shuttle flight that he was living out his boyhood dream by going into space. Michael Anderson was not only one of Creighton's best, he was one of our nation's best."
It was the first flight of NASA's SPACEHAB Double Research Module, which doubled the volume of research possible on the last mission.
Among the projects were Moriyama's. "We had more than three experiments on board," he said. "It took more than four years to prepare those experiments."
He said the work, however, was in the early stages of his project.
As for the crew and their families, an upset Moriyama said, "I have no words."
He said the disaster meant he would be returning to UNL earlier than expected to resume his work.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 3).
You can make a few bucks this year with beautiful things. Follow through on an idea you've had for a long time. It could be an investment, or fixing things, or your own creativity, but it's probably not part of your regular job. Stretch.
Aries(March 21-April 19).Today is a 7. If you're wise, contemplation will replace action. You could move quickly, but maybe you shouldn't Think about it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 6.
Don't be ruled by reason alone. Follow your intuition, too, and don't gamble now. There are too many variables. Play it safe.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Be quick without being hasy, wise without being rude. Compassion is the key. If you make your presentation more gentle, you'll be more effective.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
Be optimistic, but don't rely too heavily on skills that you haven't fully mastered. There are a few problems you've not yet encountered.Watch out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
This is not a good time for financial risks.
Play it safe, even if it means telling a friend or loved one "no."
Same goes for buying yourself new toys.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Big changes are now under way, so tempers might get short. Be the moderator and the voice of reason. They need your common sense.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7. Focus on something that needs to be done, and ignore attractive distractions. Anticipate complications.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6.
Don't throw your money around,
especially if it't to impress a person
you like. That person likes you, too;
but for your spiritual wealth,not your financial wealth.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
You may feel rather bogged down, annoyed that you can't move more quickly. Actually, changes may need to be made. No need to rush.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
The more you learn, the more you discover you don't know. Don't let that keep you from studying. What you're acquiring is worth the annoyance.
Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
Reality rears its ugly head as you start to figure out the costs. Don't look at it like there's only so much. Leave room for a few miracles.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
You could now take a fantasy and build a strong framework around it. This could be very interesting and even fun, although time-consuming.

Candidates seek cheap housing, quality of KU life
Editor's note: The Kansan will print candidate profiles for the upcoming Lawrence City Commission elections. This is the second part of the four-part series.
One long-time public servant and one long-time defender of public rights have both decided to serve Lawrence in a more active capacity. Dennis "Boog" Highberger worked with groups like the Lawrence Indian Center and Kansas Defender Project in the past, among others. Lynn Goodell spent much of the last 24 years working to build better neighborhoods for everyone in Lawrence. Both men believe the future of Lawrence relies on controlled growth and cooperation among the city's many vocal coalitions.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, 43. The former KU student body vice president (1984) received his degree in Electrical Engineering in 1985 and graduated from KU School of Law in 1992. Since 1992, Highberger has been an attorney for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Highberger's main concerns:
Community control of development
- Sensible tax abatement policy.
Ensuring the availability of affordable housing in Lawrence
Building a safe and effective
Building a sale and effective transportation system for our city
The Biggest Issue Facing KU students and Lawrence:
"I think the biggest issue facing KU students and the University are tuition increases and state budget cuts, respectively. Unfortunately, there is very little the city can do to address these problems. I do think that there are ways that the city can be a better partner with the University, for instance by supporting the University's efforts to encourage new businesses based on research conducted at the University.
"I think that every environmental issue is a student issue and every social justice issue is a student issue, and so I think that many of the issues facing the city today are relevant to KU students. The availability of affordable housing, controlling runaway development, and ensuring a safe and effective city transportation system are all things that directly affect KU students, faculty and staff."
Lynn Goodell, 66. Goodell has lived in Lawrence with his wife for 32 years where they have raised four sons and been involved with the University. The former director of Housing and Neighborhood Development recently retired from city government and decided he wanted to serve the public again, after doing it "behind the scenes" for 24 years.
Goodell's main concerns:
Service, integrity and consensus building
Joining with the school board and county commission to improve budgets, planning and considering the consequences of growth
Protecting and enhancing the quality of life in Lawrence's neighborhoods
Working with surrounding communities to develop a comprehensive economic strategy
Expanding affordable hous
ing programs
The Biggest Issue Facing KU students and Lawrence:
"I would think one of the biggest issues concerning KU students and the city would be the registration of rental units since they have housing needs."
Goodell said he would like to see a report on the results of enforcing that ordinance, including the cost.
"KU's a big industry up there on the Hill, and it's an old one, so I can understand the concern of those neighborhoods right around there. I think that something can be done, though, that will satisfy everyone involved."

Graffiti
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"Cosr," a KU student who didn't want to be identified because of his illegal hobby. Cosr got interested by taking pictures of graffiti in the train yards of the Flint Hills.
"The thing you find out about graffiti is there is no such thing as a typical graffiti artist," Giessel said. "You have poor kids, rich kids, black kids, white kids, brown kids, yellow kids."
"It was all about exploring Lawrence. I mean, you do it on foot, and so you get this intimate knowledge of the city where you're at. It's urban exploration," he said. "It's just like, 'Yo, I can go here. I can go wherever I want and explore, and less than one percent of this town actually sees this part of the city, and I get to and why not just write on it?'"
And Giessel is just one of them. He was new to Lawrence three years ago but didn't get into the graffiti scene immediately. Once he did, he began to see what he had been missing.
He said he had a conscience, a small one, about where he wrote. He chose objects such as dumpsters and telephone boxes because it wasn't clear who owned them.
"Once you start looking for places to write on, you start seeing them all over," he said.
He said graffiti artists like himself were attracted to graffiti for its artistic expression.
"I think a lot of people associate the whole process with graffiti — dressing in dark clothing, getting a hoodie and a backpack and just bombing the whole city," he said. "I think graffiti is tied to the art, and, in some cases, art at all costs."
Whether graffiti is writing on desktops or scrawling in bathrooms, it's not definable.
"It's so varied. I think there's room for it all," he said.
She sprays graffiti using stencils and gets her inspirations from everyday life such as the Kansas sunflower or her son, Elan. 3. Other stencils are simply words.
Dessert's graffiti is one example of its varied forms.
"I was thinking about the word privilege, and it in our culture and what it means," Dessert said. "I like having words like that to give people something to think about."
Dessert has been drawing as long as she can remember. She began graffiti a year ago when she learned some of her friends were already doing it. The quickness and simplicity of stencils attracted her to this type of graffiti.
IT'S
COSR!
"WE'RE VOS
BORED
"People can see it for free and I wouldn't have to go through all that bullshit — finding a gallery or doing a show," she said.
Although some of her stencils were painted over already, she said they usually remained up because they were tasteful.
"I'm sure you could take apart all the layers of why I do it," she said. "It being illegal doesn't really bother me, and I figure with the things I'm putting up, if some cop tried to arrest me, it'd be really stupid."
Dessert distances herself from some of the other graffiti. She is not impressed with random tagging that appears in the alleys.
Frie Ream/Kansan
Cosr has tagged the alleys behind Massachusetts Street 44 times from Seventh to 11th streets.
In late 1999, Cosr became interested in train graffiti in his hometown. He'd see a name on a train and wonder who these people were, where they were from and why were they doing this. He started taking pictures of the graffiti then began writing himself.
"If I've had a bad day, I'll go out and paint a train," Cosr said. "And then when you're'
"I don't think it's art," Cosr said. "It's more of a personality expression than an artistic expression."
"Cosr," KU student and local graffiti artist, tags the side of a boxcar in a train-yard. He said he wrote graffiti because of his ego.
done, you feel great because you got out safe. For that time, it's like eyes on the prize."
Sooner or later, the trains leave. His tag goes with them. He has tracked some of his tagged trains all the way to Mexico.
"It's like that whole message in a bottle thing," he said. "You throw it out to sea, you know. Who's going to see it?"
"I want people to discover it instead of having it fall in their laps because that's what makes
He shows his work to other graffiti writers from around the country. He credited the Internet, and before that became popular, the freights for bringing graffiti to America's suburbs
it so important," he said. "You find it and then you do what you want with it."
He said he didn't want grafitti to become mainstream.
"If it's force-fed through MTV to every kid in America, I don't want it to be cool," he said. "I just want it to be for me and other people that feel the same way."
Giessel, Dessert and Cosr take graffiti seriously.
"It's not going away." Giessel said. "People that want to get up, will get up no matter what the regulations are, and no one can stop them."

Crash
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Students, athletes, KU faculty and visitors at Saturday's track
meet at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion took a moment to recognize the lives lost.
"This time I am a little more detached, but I can still feel the loss and tragedy," Sorensen said. "I can really sympathize and understand the horror."
Tim Weaver, meet manager, decided to inform the people at the meet about the tragedy.
The announcer updated the audience at noon, when the running events were about to start, and asked for a moment of
sence. The athletes who were participating in the jumping and throwing events stopped their events to recognize the astronauts who perished. During the silence, the final lap bell rang seven times for the seven lives lost, Weaver said.
The moment of silence allowed the people involved in the track
meet to pause and reflect on the tragedy, Weaver said.
"Athletics are important, but I wanted to put everything in perspective by mentioning the shuttle tragedy." Weaver said. "And after we took our moment of silence we were able to go on with the meet."

Distributing and revoking ThunderStix a big mistake
Picture the scene: Three psychotic, compulsive gamblers are locked in a padded room. A man wheels a slot machine into the middle of the room and then sets down a five-gallon bucket of quarters. He gives one instruction to the three nuts.
"Don't play this slot machine." he says.
Now, replace "slot machine" with "ThunderStix" and "psychotic, compulsive gamblers" with "psychotic, fair-weather fans."
The University of Kansas Athletics Department goofed last week. Without a publicized explanation, it looked stupid doing it.
First, some background.
On Jan. 8, a Kansas State fan in the crowd proudly played the K-State school fight song on his trumpet, before the tip-off of the women's basketball game between Kansas and K-State at Allen Fieldhouse. About 80 percent of the Fieldhouse sang "Wildcat Victory" while the man blared it on his trumpet. It was a neat moment.
But a Kansas official quickly approached the man and, after exchanging some words, confiscated the guy's trumpet while 4,000 fans booed loudly.
"The conference has a new rule against artificial noisemakers," said Brad Nachtigal, director of events. "We've been instructed to prevent them from being used."

Simien will miss ninth game
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas fans might see sophomore Wayne Simien wearing his warmups before tonight's game. They might see him shooting before the game, as he has done the last three games. But they won't see him battling any Missouri players.
After injuring his shoulder against the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Simien will miss his ninth straight game, Kansas coach Roy Williams said Saturday.
Simien will be reevaluated after the game to decide if the shoulder will require surgery. Williams said.
A Missouri native may seem like an unlikely source of comfort for a Jayhawk team, but that's exactly what Jeff Graves has been. The junior forward from Lee's Summit, Mo., has averaged 8.3 points and 8 rebounds per game while filling in for Simien.
Graves has quickly become a major part of No. 12 Kansas (14-5 overall, 4-1 Big 12 conference), but he could have just as easily been a Tiger. He was recruited heavily by No. 25 Missouri (13-4, 4-2) but sliced them from his list when he learned he would have to cut his braids to play for the team. Now Graves can't wait to play against his home-state team, he said after Kansas beat Nebraska 81-51 Saturday.
"I'm going to be fired up because of that little rival thing," Graves told reporters. The feeling doesn't seem to diminish for cross-state contest veterans.
"When Kansas and Missouri play it's always something special," Williams said. "Luckily we have this one at home. We need to have our guys into it from the very first moment."
Home has been a good place for the Jayhawks when facing the Tigers. Williams has a 10-4 record versus Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse, and a 3-0 record against Quin Snyder-coached teams in the Jayhawk's house.
However, the Tigers have given Williams more trouble than any other
team in his career, beating him in 12 of 29 meetings, including games that spoiled two Jayhawk bids for perfect records in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas will have to play well to have a shot at the conference championship, senior forward Nick Collison said.
"We gotta go out intense every game," he said. "Because you can drop

Two Hawks jerseys join KU's greatest this evening

Two women will take their places among some of Kansas basketball's elite when their jerseys are retired tonight.
A ceremony will be held at halftime of the men's game against Missouri. Angela Aycock and Tamecka Dixon will become the second and third women to receive the honor at Kansas.
Coach Marian Washington said tonight's ceremony will be a great moment for the program.
"Both these women are very deserving," Washington said. "It's an incentive for the younger players and for the players who have competed in the past. I think it is going to be received very well."
Crimson banners bearing Aycock's No.12 and Dixon's No.33 will join Lynette Woodard — the only previous women's basketball player to have her jersey retired — in the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse. Woodard, who is now an assistant coach for Kansas, is pleased to have the new company.
"I'm glad someone else is going up," Woodard said. "It's something they can be proud of. They've been great for this program."
Both Aycock and Dixon were Kodak All-Americans for the Jayhawks. Aycock earned the honor in 1995 and Dixon in 1997. In addition, Aycock was co-Big 8 Conference Player of the Year in 1994 and first team All-Big 8 three times. Aycock averaged 23.1 points per game her senior season, and she is third on the school's all-time scoring list.
Dixon was named Big 8 Player of the Year twice as a Jayhawk and averaged 20.8 points her game her senior season. She has won two WNBA championships with the Los Angeles Sparks.

In the team's second joint track meet, coach Stanley Redwine said the team's consistency showed against the other opponents.
"My goal in this meet was to bring in some competition so that our athletes would have fair chances to see where they are." Redwine said. "As a result there were several records broken."
The men's 4x400-meter team of senior Anson Jackson, sophomore Jeremy Mims, junior Leo Bookman and senior Luke Steinbrink set a Kansas record
Kansas middle distance runners and vertical jumpers had a number of strong performances in the meet. Sophomore Megan Manthe, freshman Angela Pichardo and junior Arrah Nielsen finished 1-2-3 in the women's 1,000-meter, and sophomore Brandon Hodges, freshman Cameron Schwehr and senior Derec Lacio finished 1-2-3 in the men's 1,000-meter. The women's 4x800-meter relay team and sophomore Jeremy Mims in the 600-yard run also won.
with a time of 3 minutes, 14.53 seconds, topping the old record by nearly three seconds. In addition, six Anschutz records were set at the meet, including the men's and women's 60-meter dash and 60-meter hurdles, the men's 800-meter run and the men's 4x400 relay.

Mizzou rivalry boils tonight

When current coach Quin Snyder leads his Tigers on the floor for tonight's Big Monday showdown with Kansas, the Mizzou general is not likely to hear cheers.
It will not resemble the scene in Allen Fieldhouse Jan. 27 when former Missouri men's basketball coach Norm Stewart received a standing ovation at the Kansas-Texas game.
No, theyoung, suaveSnyder is expecting the ever-present boos that are showered upon Missouri by Jayhawk supporters.
Snyder is optimistic, even after he left last year's match with the Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse stinging from a 105-73 defeat at the hands of Kansas. The Jayhawks went on to cap a perfect 16-0 record in the Big 12 Conference with a 95-92 win over the Tigers in Columbia, Mo.
The rivaly has not lost intensity, but Missouri has lost two key players from last year's squad. Three-point gunner Clarence Gilbert graduated, and guard Kareem Rush elected to declare himself eligible for the NBA Draft.
The departure of Gilbert and Rush paved the way for junior guard Rickey Paulding, who enters tonight's game averaging 16.5 points per game. Paulding broke out in Saturday afternoon's 73-70 win over Colorado at Missouri's Hearnes Center. Paulding played 37 minutes and had nine rebounds, six assists, one turnover and 21 points.
Snyder said Paulding had been inconsistent this season. But his budding star is only part of the scoring balance that Snyder is trying to establish with the Tigers.

that's having a balanced attack," Snyder said. "Our challenge is to use them efficiently, when they do start taking away from one guy, we go the next guy."
The "next guy" for Missouri has been junior center Arthur Johnson, who is averaging nearly a double with 16.5 points per game and 9.6 rebounds per game.
Johnson is complemented down low with junior forward Travon Bryant. The threat of Bryant's outside shot will likely keep the middle open for Johnson, who will present a mighty task for Kansas big men Nick Collion and Jeff Graves.
One front court player — who will not play in tonight's game — has already predicted the outcome of the Border War.
After Colorado lost to Missouri 73-70 Saturday, Buffalo center David Harrison said he expected the Jayhawks to have their hands full with the Tigers.
"Kansas is beatable," Harrison said. "We proved that. This team can definitely go into Kansas and beat them."

SPORTS COMMENTARY
Jason Hwang jhwang@kansan.com
For what's on the side of their swim caps: the Ivahawk.
Although swimming and diving is a less-glamorous, non-revenue sport, there is one thing the basketball, football and all Kansas sports teams share. The athletes play hard for the Kansas logo imprinted on their uniforms.
Like many Jayhawk athletes, the swimming and diving team wants to represent Kansas well and reach its ultimate goal of becoming the best Big 12 team this year.
The swimmers and divers put in countless hours of tedious practice. Why?
Which is why I encourage all the students, faculty and other Jayhawk fans to pack Robinson Natatorium this Saturday at 2 p.m. to cheer on your Jayhawks in their final home meet of the season against Iowa State before they head out to Austin, Texas, for the Big 12 Championships. If you were planning to watch the Kansas-Kansas State men's basketball game on TV, leave early for Robinson Natatorium. The game is going to be a typical blowout at Bramlage again.
Each day, six days a week, the Kansas swimming team swims about four to seven miles. In a typical week's worth of practice, a Jayhawk swimmer may swim more miles than the driving distance from Olathe to Lawrence. The divers can do front flips, back flips and twists gracefully in the air and enter the water with a minimal splash.
Give support to swim team in home dual
It's also a farewell to the seniors who have made it easier for first-year coaches Clark Campbell (swimming) and Brad Szurgot (diving) to get their hands on this program.
"This final home meet is a celebration of contributions to the program of the past four years." Campbell said.
If you haven't been to a meet, go this weekend. It's an opportunity to see the Jayhawks in an exciting atmosphere.
"The fans have been great at every home meet this season," senior Gwen Haley, whose eight first-place finishes leads the team, said. "If you haven't been to a meet, this is a great opportunity to see great swimming and diving and a good send-off to us seniors."
Other than the seniors, you can see the up and coming swimmers, like sophomores Aly Colver, who won two titles this season, and Amy Gruber, whose six firstplace finishes is second most on the team.
These swimmers and divers have strived to not only make themselves and their team proud but also the fans. Let's return the favor and let the team know how much we appreciate its efforts throughout the season to make the Jayhawk logo stand tall.

Inside Sports AFC beats NFC in Pro Bowl
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2003
The Associated Press
HONOLULU — Ricky Williams' first trip to the Pro Bowl was worth the wait.
The Miami Dolphins' star running back rushed for 56 yards, scored two touchdowns and forced a fumble on special teams to earn the MVP award in the AFC's 45-20 victory over the NFC yesterday.
Starting quarterback Rich Gannon, the MVP of the regular season and the previous two Pro Bowls, went 12-for-18 for 102 yards and had two touchdowns.
The AFC had six interceptions while beating the NFC for its sixth victory in the last seven Pro Bowls.
Williams, who led the NFL in rushing after three tough seasons in New Orleans, also caught three passes as the AFC jumped to a 28-6 halftime lead and eliminated the tension — already minor at best — from this good-natured exhibition.
record of 51 points set by the NFC in 2000. But Buffalo's Eric Moulds was ruled out of bounds with 1:24 left after a 36-yard pass from Indianapolis' Peyton Manning.
The AFC nearly broke the Pro Bowl
KJHK SPORTS
A sellout crowd at Aloha Stadium enjoyed another blowout victory for the AFC, which has dominated the match-up in recent years. Each of the AFC's players earned $30,000 for the win, with the NFC's stars receiving $15,000 apiece.
KIHK's coverage of tonight's game will start with a pregame show live from Molly McGee's 2429 Iowa with hosts Sennett Rockers, Randi Lenning and Jonah Ballow. Play-by-play coverage will begin at 8 p.m. on 90.7 FM.
Play-by-play announcers for the University of Kansas radio station KJHK 90.7 FM, Brian Bruce and Doug Donahoo, invite you to listen in as they call tonight's men's basketball game against the Missouri Tigers live from Allen Fieldhouse. Below Bruce brings your expectations for the game.
Nick Collison vs. Arthur Johnson—Collison,
the 6-foot-9, 255-pound all-everything Kansas senior is one of the best players in the land and has the quickness and use of both hands that few big men his size possess. Averaging 19.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, his inside skills are unmatched in Big 12 play. On the other hand, the 6-9, 265-pound Johnson holds the weight and strength advantage over Collison. But, the nod goes to Nick in this matchup because Johnson cannot consistently keep up with his quickness.
Aaron Miles vs. Ricky Clemons—KU's 6-1, 175-pound point guard has already cracked the top-10 on the all-time KU assists list, but has trouble with the midrange to deep jump shot. Meanwhile, despite his problems off the court, Clemons is coming off a 23-point night against Colorado on Saturday. Their ball handling is about equal, so the nod goes to Clemons.

This is the roommate of the girl that thinks that Nick Collison is the hottest player on the basketball team, I'm gonna disagree with her. I think some of those black kids, like Keith Langford, are hotter than Nick Collison.

Hey Coach Washington, would it make more sense for you to put your most athletic player on the court or have her ride the bike the whole game? How about you call the Free For All back and let me know?
This message is to Kerry Hermes, the basketball referee. (Whistles) I'm calling a foul on you, because you've stolen my heart.

Kansas, Missouri Rivalry
1854
The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed residents of the Kansas territory to vote on whether the new state would be free or allow slavery. Abolitionists from New England moved to the territory to keep it free, while Missouri residents crossed the state line to vote for slavery. Kansas entered the Union as a free state in 1861.
1861
1863
Kansan abolitionist Jim Lane led his men, known as Jayhawkers, into Osceola, Mo. and burned the city. Lane's group hauled items from Osceola back to Kansas in stolen wagons.
William Quantrill, a pro-slavery activist from Missouri, rode into Lawrence with his raiders. They burned the town and killed 240 to 250 residents.
1912
Kansas football player Tommy Johnson died from an injury sustained in a game against Missouri two years earlier.
1923
Basketball coach Phog Allen later used Johnson's story in pep talks to the team before Missouri games.
Kansas defeats Missouri 23-20 and won the Big 6 tournament. Coach Phog Allen had announced he would retire as coach if the team did not beat Missouri for the conference title and end the Tigers' years of dominance.

Tennis beats Bears
By Jonah Ballow

Kansan sportswriter
Clutch play gave the tennis team its second win of the season yesterday against the Southwest Missouri State Bears, 4-3.
Junior Courtney Steinbock won the deciding match in a battle with Cassandra Godfrey. After Steinbock won the first set, Godfrey would take the second to force the deciding third set. With strong groundstrokes, Steinbock came back after being down three games to win the third set and the match.
"I just knew I could win after I got the first set," Steinbock said. "I needed to slow things down and make my shots."
The Jayhawks earned the
doubles point to start the dual by winning two matches. At the No.1 position, Courtney Steinbock and Kristen Steinbock dropped their match 8-6.
In singles play, Paige Brown lost to Ia Zohrashvilli at the No.1 position. Coach Kilmeny Waterman dropped Courtney Steinbock to the No.2 position.
"I'm going to switch people around," Waterman said. "We need to be more aggressive and work on finishing matches."
Emily Haylock established serve and volley play, giving her the victory over Marta Rubina.
Kansas improves to 2-0 while SMS drops to 0-3. The Jayhawks' next match against Texas is Feb. 15 at Wood Valley Racquet club in Topeka.

Two-and-a-half weeks later, when the men's basketball team played Arizona, the department gave students ThunderStix. They were loud and, well, artificial. The department might as well have passed out trumpets.
How hilarious would that have been?
But rules are rules. Distributing them and forbidding their use at certain times was stupid.
It begs the question: Why did they order the annoying things?
ThunderStix serve a different purpose. Pull yours out and you'll see that it's just an inflatable billboard that puts cash in
The department was fortunate. The referees gave no technicals, the sponsors got their advertising, and the department's mis-managed wallet fattened up a little.

Jayhawks cruise past Cornhuskers
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
If Kansas was looking past Nebraska to Monday's showdown with Missouri, the scoreboard sure didn't show it.
The No. 12 Jayhawks (15-5, 5-1) handed the Cornhuskers (9-11, 1-6) their worst loss, 81-51, in the 27-year history of the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Oklahoma beat Nebraska by 27 last year, setting the old mark.
The victory may have set a new record, but to Kansas coach Roy Williams the Jayhawks' performance was nothing more than "workmanlike."
"We didn't shoot as well," Williams said, "but we made some plays."
Williams attributed some of the missed shots to the box-and-one zone defense — one player guarding senior Kirk Hinrich and the other four playing a zone — Nebraska used throughout much of the game. Faced with a logjam under the basket, the Jayhawks fired 23 three-point shots and made just six.
"I don't like to shoot three point shots 23 times just because their coach wants us to," Williams said.
Sophomore guard Keith Langford made 1-of-4 three-pointers
"They were just talking, saying my shot was lucky last year — little dumb stuff." Langford said. "I wanted to respond."
and scored 17 points in the game. He came out hot after jawing with members of the Cornhusker student body in warm ups.
He got his opportunity early. Langford scored 14 points in the first half, helping Kansas put the game out of reach before halftime. He added only one more basket and a free throw after the break but still tied with Hinrich for the game's top scorer.
While Langford tailed off in the second half, his sophomore counterpart, Aaron Miles, was just getting started.
After passing for only two assists in the first half, Miles ended the game with 10 assists. 14 points, six rebounds and four steals.
Senior forward Nick Collison struggled early. His game totals of 14 points and nine rebounds were nowhere near the breakout 24-point, 23-rebound outing he pinned on No. 3 Texas.
Collison said none of the Jayhawks had their best game.

"We played well in the stretch in the second half," he said. "But before that, both teams were pretty ugly."
Kansas sophomore guird Keith Langford leaps in the lane to make a first half bucket. Langford went 7-for-15 from the field Saturday and tore down five offensive rebounds in 32 minutes played versus Nebraska.

Gruber wins in home state swim dual meet
By Jason Hwang
jhwang@kansan.com
Kansan scripter
Sophomore Amy Gruber clocked in at 57.55 seconds to win the 100-yard backstroke title in her home state, her sixth first-place finish this season.
The University of Kansas swimming and diving team fell to 7-5 in dual meets after losing to the Arkansas Razorbacks 181-119 Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.
Gruber, a Bigelow, Ark.
native, said swimming in front of family and friends had some influence to winning the title.
"It was really exciting to swim with them in the crowd," Gruber said. "It gets you going before you swim your race."
Senior Gwen Haley captured two first-place finishes, in the 200-yard butterfly (2:04.39) and the 400-yard individual medley (4:24.01). Haley's eight first-place finishes this season leads the team.
Senior Beth Schryer (1000 freestyle, 10:24:38), sophomore Kristen Johnson (100 breaststroke,
1:06.78), Gruber (100 freestyle, 52.09 and 100 butterfly, 57.62) and sophomore Miranda Isaac (200 breaststroke, 3:23.26) finished second in those individual events. The Jayhawks took second place in the 400 freestyle relay, timing in at 3:34.88.
"Each meet we use to go prepare ourselves for the conference championships," Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said. "We did the best we could, but were beaten by a better team."
In diving action, senior Patti Stringham took second
place in both the one-meter (251.55 score) and three-meter (270.97 score) flights. Senior Kristi Misejka took third place in both diving events for the Jayhawks. She earned a score of 235.57 in the one-meter and scored a 259.20 in the three-meter.
The Jayhawks will return to action at 2 p.m. on Saturday against Iowa State in their final home meet of this season in Robinson Natatorium.

Jayhawks crushed by No.8 Texas Tech, 84-57

Kansan sportswriter
Even though both Kansas (9-10 overall, 2-6 Big 12 play) and Texas Tech (18-2, 7-1) play similar Big 12 Conference schedules, the Lady Raiders looked as if they were in a league of their own Saturday.
No. 8 Texas Tech shot 58 percent from the field on the afternoon, including only nine missed shots in the second half, on its way to an 84-57 victory in Allen Fieldhouse. For Kansas, the loss ended a two-game conference winning streak.
Senior forward Plenette Pierson led the Raiders and scored 21
of her game-high 29 points in the first half. Pierson also added six rebounds and three blocked shots. She was complemented by junior guard Jia Perkins, who scored 10 of her 13 points in the second half.
While the Jayhawks struggled to get open and hit shots on offense, their defensive troubles were just as apparent.
"They're the best team we've faced so far this year," coach Marian Washington said. "The bottom line is our defense broke down on us. I don't think we challenged them from any position."
for the Jayhawks, sophomore guard Aquanita Burras had her third consecutive solid offensive
Kansas played well against Texas Tech for the game's first 16 minutes, until Texas Tech rode the momentum of an 11-2 run into the locker room at halftime and led 38-22.
outing with 16 points. Burras shot 10-for-10 from the freew throw line. She was also the only Jayhawk to score in double figures. Freshman forward Crystal Kemp added nine points.
Any hope of winning for the Jayhawks had disappeared from the second half's onset. The Raiders outscored Kansas 10-2 early in the half, paced by two quick three-pointers by junior guard Natalie Ritchie.
For the young Kansas squad going up against top-10 compe
tition was different from what it has faced for most of this season.
"The difference is they had a lot of people that were very good, they just didn't have only one main scorer," freshman guard Erica Hallman said. "It's always good to play tougher teams because that tells you where you should be."
Kansas will look to even its record Wednesday night, when the team travels to Boulder. Colo., for a rematch against the Colorado Buffaloes.
The Jayhawks lost the first meeting of the year 71-50 on Jan. 18 in Allen Fieldhouse.

Campers stay warm but traditions still remain for new fans
By Mike Norris
By Mike Norris
correspondence@karsan.com
Karman sports correspondent
Until Roy Williams came to Kansas, nothing much had changed since die-hard KU basketball fans started camping out in the mid-1980s for prime seat seats.
"Before coach Williams came, they camped outside," said Kristi Truman, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student. "He thought it was too cold."
After Williams arrival, camping moved inside Allen Fieldhouse. But other rules remained the same. Every group had to have one member in the fieldhouse from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. To ensure a group was represented, roll was called. If a group did not have a member present, that group was dropped to the end of the camping line.
Truman, who has camped for more than 100 basketball games, said while the rules were virtually the same, the process seemed to work better.
Andy Wymore. Leanwood senior, has been camping for four years, and three years ago started posting the unofficial rules on the fieldhouse doors to limit confusion. He and Tru
man said some campers thought there was a group who ran the program, but it was all student run.
"Camping is completely democratic," he said. "It's by the campers, of the campers, and for the campers."
Other schools such as Duke University have a similar process, but have all the rules and regulations posted on the student government Web site. Jeremy Morgan, Duke University senior, was appointed by the school's student government to be in charge of the camping section of the Web site, called K-Ville, in honor of basketball coach, Mike Krzyzewski.
"Five years ago there were a lot of problems," Morgan said. "Now it's more organized, and we are more deliberate on the policies."
Student Body President Jonathan Ng said he liked the way camping was done at Kansas, but a more official policy could smooth things out.
"We are looking into the possibility of a more formal system like Duke," he said. "However, we don't want to interfere with the current traditions — just make them better."

Jordan lifts Wizards victory over Hornets
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For Michael Jordan, these were the old days in Chicago. The very old days.
Not the championship years, when he was winning rings with Scottie Pippen. But the early years, when the Bulls were a so-so team and every game felt like 1-on-5.
With the team's two other surfree fire scorers injured, Jordan scored 45 points in 44 minutes carrying the Washington Wizards to a 109-104 victory Saturday over the New Orleans Hornets.
"Tonight was a revisit back to those days where I could get myself in nice little situations, where the defense really couldn't help," Jordan said. "By the time the defense helped, I was able to go ahead and get the basket, get a foul, get someone else involved. It was reminiscent. It was a good night."
It was the sixth 40-point game since Jordan came out of retirement a second time, but this one came under unusual circumstances. Jerry Stackhouse and Larry Hughes were both injured, leaving Jordan as the only real offensive threat.
He made four of Washington's
first five baskets and he had an assist on the other one. He went 6-for-9 from the field and 4-for-4 from the line for 16 points in the first quarter.
He used creative moves to work himself open. He shot fade-aways over David Wesley. He evaded Courtney Alexander through screens and forced him to foul. He drove on Jamal Mashburn.
Jordan sat for just four minutes in the second quarter, and the Hornets outscored the Wizards 14-4 during that span to take the lead. It became obvious that he wouldn't leave the game again.
"I wasn't about to take him out," coach Doug Collins said. "I was not going to get that wrath."
The Wizards trailed by five at halftime and by as many as 10 in the third quarter. Jordan's big game was going to waste. Collins told the team to stop standing around waiting for Jordan to do everything.
"I don't want you to get that 'floating Michael eye.' We've got to go to other guys on the floor." Collins said in the huddle. "He's helped us to this point, and we have to have other guys help finish."

Commission votes on Title IX rule
University complies with athletic equality rules and standards
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Commission on Opportunity in Athletics voted Thursday on several proposals to fix problems with Title IX, which would change the way the office of civil rights determines if an institution is following the law. The University of
Kansas would comply with all of the new standards.
Title IX is a section of the Education Amendments of 1972 that was created to prohibit sex discrimination in educational programs, including intercollegiate athletics.
Janelle Martin, associate athletic director of compliance at the University, said the University had several ways of staying compliant with Title IX.
"We work with the coaches to make them aware of rules and regulations," Martin said. "Also, we have our chief
financial officer work with them to write budgets and we check on a monthly basis."
Martin said the University currently complied with Title IX to the best of its knowledge.
According to a press release issued by The Associated Press, the 15-person commission only looked at the athletics side of the amendments and recommended several changes to Rod Paige, Bush administration education secretary. It takes an act of Congress to fundamentally change the law, but Paige has the power to alter how compliance is
The advisory commission proposed to change a standard that allows schools to comply by having a male-female athlete ratio "substantially proportionate" to that institution's male-female enrollment.
measured.
According to a gender equity report released by the University of Kansas, enrollment is 48 percent male and 52 percent female. In athletics, 52 percent of all athletes are male and 48 percent are female.
One change would establish a number of roster spots on each team that count
toward Title IX compliance.
The current standard is counted by the actual number of athletes on a team. This can become a problem when a sport tries to attain an identical number of male and female athletes. If the sport attempts to find 20 male and 20 female athletes for the team and there are not enough women to fill the spots, the Office for Civil Rights may find an institution noncompliant.
Under the new rule, if the school made 20 roster spots available for both men
Rec center cars worry neighbors
SEE TITLE IX ON PAGE 5A
By JJ Hensley

Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas' new recreation center is a long-awaited addition for health-conscious students and faculty. But, the center's neighbors in University Place don't feel the same way.
In the neighborhood bordered roughly by campus and 19th Street, residents fear traffic from the center will only make a bad situation worse.
"We just want to make sure that the rec center isn't built so that to get there you'll have to drive through the streets of University Place, especially 18th Street," said Jonathan Earle, University Place Neighborhood Association vice president and assistant professor of history.
Those fears of traffic invading the University Place neighborhood should come as no surprise to anyone who has attempted to drive through the neighborhood following a basketball game, Earle said.
Even on a normal day, traffic through the neighborhood regularly exceeds city limitations for a residential zoned area. More than 2,100 cars crossed Illinois Street on 18th Street on a weekday in October 2000, according to a survey commissioned by the neighborhood association. David Woosley, city traffic engineer, said a limit of 1,000 cars per day was desirable for residential streets.
Though many students and faculty are expected to use the new center when it's scheduled to open in August. University officials say the facility shouldn't affect traffic through University Place in any way. Users of the center are expected to use lot 90, west of the construction, to access the building, said Bob Rombach, University project manager.
"There will be an increase in traffic, but we're expecting it to be foot traffic, Rombach said. "Basically it's not a driving-to facility, it's a walking-to facility."
Regardless of the facility's impact on traffic, University Place residents are prepared to ask the city's Traffic Safety Commission to install traffic-calming or diverting devices in the neighborhood. Those could range from speed bumps to single-lane access on certain streets.
"It has less to do with the rec center than it does with the general traffic flow in and out of the University on a daily basis," said Leslie Tuttle, neighborhood association vice president and assistant professor of history and Western Civilization.
Diverging traffic to 19th and Naismith streets would be the best overall solution, Tuttle said.

Nate Vormehr, Lawrence resident, no longer writes his graffiti tag on public walls. After police caught him writing graffiti in February 2001, he has moved to writing legally in a friend's garage.
Graffiti writer tagged with fine
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For Nate Vormehr, a beautiful day called for writing graffiti.
The wind was a little brisk, it was early February, but still an awe-inspiring day to go down to the catwalks of the I-70 bridge over the Kansas River and paint a piece from his drawing book.
"I was out there painting and next thing I know, I got a cop on each side — both with their guns out," he said.
Graffiti IN LAWRENCE
The police arrested Vormehr for his graffiti. He spent the night in jail. His father paid the $600 bail, but heavier fines followed. The then-19-year-old Lawrence native opted to pay a $2,000 diversion instead of receiving the felony. He was able to get a diversion because it was his first offense.
In court he said the prosecutors determined the square footage of the cement that was covered with graffiti at the catwalks. Vormehr said they blamed him for all of the graffiti to set an example.
As part of his punishment, Vormehr worked the summer of 2001 painting over graffiti on the bridge's foundation of 10-foot tall columns measuring 30 to 40 feet around. He said dragging ladders through the swampy jungles near the Kansas River was punishment enough.
"It was horrible. And that wasn't

even the worst part," he said. "The worst part was I knew people who had done pieces up there. I knew who had done them and I was watching them be destroyed, basically."
Andrew Giessel, former graffiti writer and friend of Vormehr's, said the punishment was meant to break Vormehr's spirit. To paint over other

Former 'Real World' Powell talks hip-hop
By Henry C. Jackson
cjjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For just a 35-year-old, former Real World cast member, journalist and paid speaker, Kevin Powell has been a lot of places.
"I feel like the Forrest Gump of popular culture." Powell says. "I end up in all these weird places — Real World, Vibe, BET, The Washington Post — talking to all kinds of people."
Last night, Powell helped kick off Black History Month at the University of Kansas with a speech at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. One topic covered in Powell's hour-long speech was the decline of hip-hop culture.
"The difference between hip-hop and music during the Civil Rights Movement was there people like John Coltrane naming songs 'Alabama'; Marvin Gaye writing songs like 'What's Going On'," Powell said. "We're right smack in the middle of the bling-bling generation. Hip-hop's never been a political movement."
Powell said the tendency of young hip-hop artists to live lavishly perpetuated miseducation.
"Am I supposed to be excited when I see rappers on Cribs?" Powell said. "They've got these wonderful houses, the only thing missing is the bookshelf."
Powell said the primary way to fix the problem with the hip-hop generation was education in black history. About 100 people, mostly African-Americans, attended Powell's speech, which was sponsored by the Black Student Union, Student Senate and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
One topic of Powell's speech was affirmative action.
"Affirmative action was created to right historical wrongs," Powell said. "People are manipulating history when they talk about reverse racism."
Barry Barnes, Lawrence resident, said Powell's perspective and wisdom was multi-generational.
"He was one of the first reporters to cover hip-hop, and I think that will mean a lot in the future," Barnes said. "I think it's important for younger people to see

In yesterday's story, "University helps fund Christian association," the Kansan reported that College Community was the first Christian organization to receive funding from the Student Senate. It was not. It is the first Christian organization to receive funding this year. In the past three years, both the Student Advisory Board of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center and Inspirational Gospel Voices received Senate funding.
Other religious and belief organizations to receive funding include the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, and KU Hillel.

University urges Costa Rica to find Martin's murderer
In a letter addressed to the president of Costa Rica, KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway asked that pressure be applied to authorities so the murderer of former KU student Shannon Martin can be brought to justice.
"I write on behalf of the young woman's family, to urge that all appropriate authorities pursue every available legal avenue to see that this horrible crime is solved and that justice is served," Hemenway said in the letter.
Lynn Bretz, director of University relations, said the letter was part of a continuing effort by the University.
several congressional offices and the Martin family.
"I think we're all doing everything we can to keep this case before the public's eye and to encourage the Costa Rican government to do what must be done, which is to pursue every legal avenue."
Shannon Martin had just completed requirements for a KU degree with honors in biodiversity when she was murdered on study abroad trip in Costa Rica in May of 2000. Two suspects in the murder who had been in custody since July were released. Another suspect, arrested in November 2001, remains in custody.

Service reviews students' resumés
By Nicole Roché
nroche@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It's not too late to fix a pathetic resume.
Advisers at University Career and Employment Services will review resumes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the basement of the Burge Union. The review is geared to help students prepare for this week's Spring Job Fair, which takes place from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow and Thursday in the Kansas Union ballroom.
The review began yesterday. Eric Njuki, Nairobi, Kenya, graduate student, said counselors showed him how to outline his strengths.
"I didn't want to take it for granted that my resume was exactly what employers were looking for," he said.
Yesterday, recruiters from Phillip Morris, Sprint and other companies served as advisers. Today's advising will be done by Career and Employment Services staff.
Diana Duffy is a staffing consultant for Lab Support, which hires scientific staff such as chemists and microbiologists. She said she wanted to help students because resume writing could be tricky, especially if they do not have any relevant work experience.
Students without this experience can still write an effective resume, she said, by focusing on
skills and course work.
Duffy said she overheard a recruiter saying, "A resumé is not a television program about yourself — it's a commercial."
She said it was important to keep a resume simple and pertinent.
Joel Hood, documentation specialist for the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, said students needed to be specific when describing past work experience.
"General office duties — that could mean a hundred different things," Hood said. "Don't make an employer guess what you mean."
Hood said students should remember that recruiters are at the job fair to represent the company and to distribute information, not to interview students on the spot.
Mary Andrade Carlson, assistant director for University Career and Employment Services, said the number of students attending the resume reviews had increased in past years. In fall 2001, 95 students attended, and in spring 2002, 132 students sought help with their resumes.
Andrade Carlson said this was the first year company profiles were available online at www.ku.edu/-uces. She said students could research the 134 companies before attending the fair.
"It's easy to talk to employers when you know what they have to offer," she said.

Festival offers showcase for student films

Aspiring student filmmakers, actors and actresses at the University of Kansas will have the opportunity to showcase creative talent thanks to Apple Computers and Student Union Activities.
Preparations for the iMovie Film Festival began last week with an information session and the start of equipment checkout at the SUA box office.The festival and awards ceremony, scheduled for March 5, will showcase the winning three short films.
Apple has provided the University with six digital camcorders and four computers equipped with iMovie, a digital editing program. The company provided the equipment so students could work under the same conditions, said Aaron Grill, Apple campus representative.
"I then spoke to my boss about sponsoring one at KU, and he
Grill said he considered hosting the festival after hearing of similar programs at other universities.
offered the support for cash prizes, a giveaway and the equipment needed to produce the movies," Grill said.
Entries must be three- to 10-minute films produced on a Macintosh computer using iMovie software. Groups of up to four students can work together to create the movie, Grill said. There is no entry fee.
Editing stations are located at the Kansas Union Bookstore, the Budig Hall computer lab, and the JRP Hall computer lab. Camcorders, which can be checked out for three business days, are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at the SUA box office until Feb. 14.
"Right now, we are completely out of cameras," said Isaac Dill. SUA Spectrum film coordinator and McPherson sophomore.
SUA is assisting with the film festival and providing a venue for it, Dill said.
"One goal I have is to remove the higher artsy predisposition from filmmaking." Dill said. "It's not just limited to film or art majors."
After the Feb. 21 deadline for
entries, representatives from KU Filmworks, the SUA Spectrum Film Committee and Fine Arts Committee and Grill will rate entries based on editing, technical quality and original story line. The three finalists will then be chosen for showing at the festival.
Winners will be announced after the final viewing. First place will receive $250, second place, $150 and third, $50.
"I'm hoping we get at least 30 entries," Grill said. "But I'm really hoping several hundred people will show up at the awards ceremony."
visitors at the festival will have the opportunity to win an iPod, donated by Apple. The portable MP3 player holds up to 2,000 songs and retails for around $275. Grill said.

Some students smoke, drink or exercise to calm nerves after a long day, but others flip the switch on a game console and lock themselves into a fantasy world for a few hours.
Some students use addictive gaming to escape problems
In medical terms, the word addiction is generally reserved for substances like drugs or alcohol. But Stephen Iardi, professor of psychology, said anything be addictive.
Psychology experts say these games can do more harm than good. Some people find themselves spending too much time in front of their Game Cubes, wasting valuable hours trying to hunt down that elusive mob boss or beat their friends.
Hardi said addiction's symptoms could include:
Withdrawal once the stimulus is taken away
uus is taken away Need for more of the stimu-
Need for more of the stimulus to reach the same effect
Interference with normal life
"People can get mentally addicted to the endorphin rush they get from playing games," he said.
Francis DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said shy people were more susceptible to becoming obsessed because they used the game to escape their problems.
"They are generally uncomfortable around people so they lock themselves into a game that they can have total control over." DeSalvo said.
Kevin Green, Kansas City Kan. resident, dropped out of the University of Kansas last
year partly because of EverQuest, a computer game played on the Internet.
"I spent at least 60 hours a week on the computer, and that was probably a slow week," Green said. Green said he was, and still is, attached to the social aspect of EverQuest.
"When you're in a game, there are about 2,000 others in the same area playing with you," he said. "We are constantly talking and get to know each other well."
Mike Self, Wichita senior,
bought the game Grand Theft
Auto 3 after he heard about it
from a friend last year. He
enjoyed the game, he said, but
soon learned he wasn't the only
one. It was difficult to get some
friends to leave after they
started playing.
"We would tell him to leave because we all had to go to bed and he would keep playing until we turned off the TV," Self said.
So what should somebody do if they find that they, or somebody they know, is playing too much?
"An obsessed person would first have to have motivation to get help." Iliardi said.
Ilardi said the person had to identify what made them want to play so much. Then they would have to find a more healthy substitute.
DeSalvo agreed.
"We would try to put something more functional in the game's place, or teach them some coping mechanisms so the next time they have a problem they can deal with it instead of feeling obligated to play," DeSalvo said.

McDonald's suit calls for return to responsibil-
In a huge blow for frivolous lawsuits everywhere, the case of Pelman v. McDonald's was thrown
man v. McDonald's was thrown out of court. The plaintiffs had charged McDonald's with causing them to grow obese and in a greater sense contributing to the growing epidemic of obesity. Their argument was that the restaurant chain had not appropriately warned customers of the high cholesterol, salt and fat content of its food. We have come to the line in the sand in corporate responsibility litigation. Lawsuits have replaced common sense and this practice must stop.
The people represented by the plaintiffs in this lawsuit seem to be a somewhat nebulous group. It is difficult to imagine someone with such a dim grasp of basic nutrition that he or she has no idea that an Egg McMuffin for breakfast and a Big Mac for dinner (the stated diet of one of the plaintiffs) do not represent healthy eating habits. Would a collective "Duh!" not be in order here?
The story was much more plausible with cigarettes sold before labeling, especially considering their addictive nature. But as we slide down the slippery slope of the death of personal responsibility we can only imagine the nature of future litigation. How long until a lawsuit is brought against the concrete manufacturers for failing to inform the public that their product will skin knees? How many years will it be before Bic pens will be labeled "Warning: Jabbing into eye may cause blindness."
We should reject this sort of litigation as an insult to our collective intelligence and attempt to return to common sense and personal responsibility.

PERSPECTIVE
Nation not watching this time, failing to appreciate importance
W here were you when the Challenger exploded? It's a question people my age ask one another. After the Sept. 11 attacks, when everyone had a story about where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the terrorist attacks, we thought back to the last big catastrophe that consumed the nation that we could remember. We came up with the Challenger.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Last weekend, for the second time in our memory, another space shuttle streaked out of the sky.
But it was different this time. The nation wasn't watching. We heard about Columbia when we stumbled out of bed late Saturday morning, when someone called to ask us if we had heard.
So, where were we?
Forty years ago, there wasn't a space launch that wasn't above-the-fold news. We raced against the Russians, hoping to beat them to the moon.
I can't imagine what it was like to live back then, when astronauts were regarded as national heroes and were just as famous as movie stars.
We made it safely to the moon and back six times. In the early 1980s, the shuttle program promised us a new way to reach the stars.
Over time, shuttle flights became almost routine. A series of "everyday" people, including a congressman and a teacher, were chosen to fly as part of the shuttle crews alongside the engineers, pilots and scientists who made up the astronaut corps.
Astronauts came to our schools, giving presentations and showing us videos of them floating in space. Just about everyone my age, including me, wanted to be an astronaut someday. Who wouldn't want to float around in space, playing with M&M's and giant orange globs of Tang?
Sarah Hill shill@kansan.com
After the Challenger exploded in 1986, space lost a little bit of its luster. NASA, it seemed, was awash in bureaucratic finger pointing. Space was once again a risky business. Astronauts, including the everyday people who brought space closer to home, were no longer immortal.
And that was it. More than 50 launches passed under the national radar screen. Except for a few notable flights in the last 15 years, including the Hubble Space Telescope missions, the first African-American woman, Mae Jemison's flight in space, and John Glenn's shuttle mission, space flight quietly became routine again.
Times are different now. The nation wasn't watching this time. But we saw enough to convince us that space is still a dangerous place in which to travel.
Only two of the last 113 shuttle flights
We were reminded of the dangers on Saturday.
Columbia carried a number of scientific experiments on board, including experiments that tested the effects of microgravity on the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs. The astronauts grew plants in space and tested technology that could monitor the ozone layer. Other experiments involved systems that could lower emissions in cars.
have been lost: almost a 98 percent success rate. As shuttles age, there will be new challenges to maintain these successes. But the missions the shuttle helps humans perform are no less important today.
The space program can still help us explore science and construct an international space station. It truly is one of the last forms of exploration humans can take part in. Footage of the astronauts' last flight on Columbia showed seven people having the time of their lives. They knew the risks involved and accepted them fully.
Now, it's time for us to remember those risks but continue to support the space program. We need adventure in our lives. We need to support space science and technology spin-offs that come from the space program, technology that makes our lives easier and even better.
And, above all, we need to remember the seven astronauts who died this week as heroes, who died for a truly beneficial cause.
Let's hope NASA can fix the problems that plagued Columbia. Let's go back to the world's last frontier.

PERSPECTIVE
Columbia's mission, symbolism taken for granted
Seventeen minutes from touchdown, the Space Shuttle Columbia was lost some 200,000 feet above Earth.
A crew of seven would not touch down in Florida, would not see their loved ones waiting in the grandstands, would not shake each other's hands in congratulations, and would not begin again their most dangerous task of sailing toward the heavens.
STS-107 would be a mission NASA never wholly completed, and as the news of the disaster spread across the country many of us were transported back in time seventeen years to another clear winter's morning when we looked to the sky and found heartbreak instead of wonder in America's Space Program.
I was in the first grade when Challenger was lost on Jan. 28, 1986 and I remember that day vividly. Some may not believe that memories of such a young age would be so defined. Nonetheless, the reasons for my remembrance stem from the many mornings
GUEST COMMENTARY
12. A man is a citizen of ___.
Ravi DeSilva opinion@kansan.com
Those were the times when I found such happiness in watching Columbia soar upon a pillar of smoke and fire into the deepening blue, a realm of dreams and my earliest childhood fantasies.
Columbia was the embodiment of that vision.
During the 22 years the orbiter was in service, my relationship to the splendid vessel grew like a wonderful friendship. It was more than just another craft, for it had woven itself into the better parts of who I hoped to be and I never lost the dream that one day far off, I would find myself looking out its windows past the
shuttle bay doors and onto the grandest vista humanity could ever experience of the planet we call home.
For many of those missions I remember sitting in silence and awe as men and women dared to do what was becoming understood in this country as routine.
Columbia was the oldest shuttle in NASA's fleet and had logged more than 300 days of orbit and traveled more than 100 million miles. During that time, astronauts had conducted hundreds of experiments, deployed and recovered satellites, assisted in the building of the international space station, and perhaps most importantly, advanced the human race's grandest goals of exploration, reaching out beyond our world into the palace of the stars.
Yet, the years of training and preparation undertaken to achieve just two weeks in orbit and the hundreds of people who spent their entire careers ensuring that the ships flew and the crews of these most complicated of all machines would return safely home knew that nothing would

On the first day of February 2003, I had a great sadness in my heart. While we all lost seven of our best, I also feel the loss of a starship that had been a tremendous inspiration for my entire life.
Columbia was named for America; it is the personification of the spirit that is embedded in the aspirations of people who set the loftest of goals and through unrelenting determination accomplish these aims. I can only hope that even though the Columbia is gone, its spirit that is so integrally would into me and all those of my generation, will once again soar.
Once more, Columbia will "let slip the surly bounds of Earth to touch the face of God," as written by British pilot John Gillespie McGee Jr. in his poem, "High Flight," in 1941.

Title IX

and women, they would not be penalized if the spots were not filled.
Opposition to the ruling countered that schools would not devote enough attention to female recruiting, knowing it was not necessary to find the athletes to fill the rosters. Also, under the new rule, teams could stockpile large groups of non-schoolship male athletes without them counting against compliance.
Debbie Yow, University of Maryland athletic director, proposed to allow schools to comply by having a 50-50 split of male and female athletes, regardless of enrollment, with a two to three percent error margin. Kansas would also meet those standards with the 52 to 48 split.
Yow said it was the easiest way to decide the number of male and female athletes.
"If we had an apple and were hungry and we wanted to be fair, we would split it 50-50." Yow said. "It is an attempt to be fair."
The vote tied seven to seven, with one commissioner, Lisa Graham Keegan, missing the vote.
Tie votes receive a separate mention in the final report, Yow said.
The commission also recommended that non-traditional students not be counted as part of school enrollments for Title IX. Non-traditional students are defined as students who are either older, professional or graduate students.
Martin said this part of the recommendation would affect all schools, but in particular, professional schools.
The most lopsided vote was
on a proposal to eliminate the proportionality requirement. It failed 11-4.

"They're just white walls under a bridge, most of them overgrown with shrubs or leaves, so what's the problem?" Vormehr said. "Why does it matter if someone's out there putting art on that wall as opposed to smoking crack by it?"
Giessel said Lawrence should have legal walls for writers to practice graffiti. He stood behind graffiti's artistic expression and Vormehr's work.
"It was almost as though he got penalized for doing the city a service," Giessel said.
Vormehr understands a property owner's argument that graffiti is written on someone's private property, but he also said
Vormehr said he understood the objection to obscene graffiti but it should not be grouped with artistic graffiti.
some of the best artwork he'd seen was illegal.
"There's no distinction between the art aspect of it and the primal I'm-going-to-write-my-name-on-a-wall," he said.
Since Vormehr's jail time, he stopped writing illegal graffiti. It was no longer worth the risk of a fine or felony charge. He continues to write in his drawing books and to paint throw-ups — a complex work of graffiti — with Giesel on the walls of his friend's garage.
Vormehr's audience is mostly limited to a group of friends, those who see his pieces in the garage. He changed his tag from, "Sien," to "Stres" after getting caught.
Painting in his friend's garage allows him to take his time creating throw-ups of "Stres" in multiple layers, outlines and dimensions, and he doesn't have to worry about getting caught. It's legal graffiti.
"I think it promotes better art-work, but at the same time, half of it is running out in the middle of the night looking behind your back every five seconds and still just doing some big, just dope-ass piece." Vormehr said.
But he can't afford to get caught again, a police record could damage his future, he said.
Pride and personal accomplishment motivated Vormehr to write graffiti. As far as the illegality of it, he said that too was part of it-beating the law.
"I'd have a felony on my record for painting on a wall."

Campus survey calls for improvements at Watson
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
kansas staff writer
A new coffee shop in Watson Library could draw more students to study there.
A coffee shop was just one of the improvements endorsed by students, faculty and staff in a survey sent out by library staff last semester.
The survey was sent to 2,500 students and 900 faculty and staff members via e-mail to find out what people would like to see changed at Watson Library. Paper copies of the survey were also
available at the three service desks in Watson Library, said Bill Myers, director of library development.
A total of 948 surveys were returned.
The coffee shop received support from 66 percent of undergraduate students and 43 percent of graduate students. Myers said.
Kent Miller, library facilities officer, said library officials have met with the Kansas Union's food service about the possibil-
"It is somewhat difficult to study where I live. Being able to go to the library and actually work on an assignment in Word would be
great.
Laura Johnson
Overland Park junior
ity of adding an outpost at Watson, but no decisions have been made.
The effort to add more work
stations with Microsoft Office is also underway.
Six new work stations with the software will each be added to Watson and Anschutz libraries. A number of existing work stations in the libraries will also be upgraded, including the 25 work stations in the Watson Clark Instruction Center, Myers said. The Watson Clark Instruction Center is located behind the reference desk on the third floor of Watson Library.
The libraries added some new features last fall to aid students. The library catalog was enhanced to include the table of contents
information for books published in 2002 and later. The libraries also added additional journals and databases, a reference chat service, electronic reserves and a new digital library system.
The funding for these improvements comes from both the tuition enhancement money and Kansas University Endowment Association Parent Campaign for Libraries, Miller said. Representatives do not know how much the new facilities would cost and did not disclose a dollar amount for facilities already added.
Laura Johnson, Overland Park junior, said she didn't use the
library much but the changes could affect that.
"I know lots of people that enjoy the coffee shop environment to study," said Johnson. "Adding one to Watson could definitely increase the number of students that chose the library as a study place."
The additional work stations are also appealing to Johnson.
"It is somewhat difficult to study where I live," Johnson said. "Being able to go to the library and actually work on an assignment in Word would be great."
Female dean proud to be at Watson Library
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Watson Library had not had a female dean in 75 years until Stella Bentley took the job in April.
Bentley has extensive experience in library management and was the dean of libraries at Auburn University before coming to the university of Kansas in 2002.
Carrie Watson was the first female dean at Watson Library, and the building was named for her. After Watson left the dean
position, 75 years passed before another woman was appointed. Bentley said it was a good feeling to work in a library named after a woman and to know that she was the first woman to take the position in so long.
"Very early on we had a female director and it is nice to be working at a library that is named after the first female director here," Bentley said.
Kent Miller, library facilities officer, has worked in the KU libraries for 38 years and has seen several deans come and go. Six male deans
have passed through Watson Library in the last 58 years, Miller said. Even though many librarians are women, not many have been in high management positions, Miller said. A noticeable increase in female leadership in libraries across the country has occurred in the last couple of years. Miller is pleased with what Bentley has been able to do so far and said she came at a good time.
"Stella is a very good leader for these times in the life of the KU library." Miller said.
Mary Roach, co-assistant dean
of technical services, became the assistant dean position in the fall of 2002. Roach also noted that librarians are primarily women, but in the past the majority of management had been men. Roach said Bentley had brought some excellent skills from her previous library experiences and was glad to see a woman dean.
"The field is dominated by women and it's nice to see a woman in a leadership position," Roach said.

Jayhawks avoid Tigertrap
COURTNEY JONES
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswinter
Roy Williams squats in front of assistant coach Joe Holliday and Jeff Graves to get a closer look at the team's defensive action during the early second half. Williams criticized Graves's and Miles' play despite the Jayhawks 76-70 victory over Missouri.
Jared Soares/Konsan
Roy Williams sure didn't sound like someone who had just bested his rival for the fourth straight game.
The Kansas coach ripped into junior forward Jeff Graves and sophomore guard Aaron Miles shortly after No.12 Kansas' 76-70 victory against No.21 Missouri.
"Jeff Graves has got to decide to play and stop sitting over there next to me—I've got enough assistant coaches." Williams said. "And Aaron Miles, I don't care about shots but you can't have six turnovers."
Miles mustered just two points and five assists to go with his six turnovers. Graves finished the game with eight points and four rebounds, but Williams seemed most angered by several careless fouls and a traveling violation
Williams was so peeved that not even long-time radio announcer Max Falkenstein could coax a complimentary word about the two from him.
"Max, don't even go there," Williams said cutting off a Falkenstien question. "There is nothing positive I want to say about Jeff Graves and Aaron Miles."
Williams did, however, have plenty of nice things to say about his two seniors. Forward Nick Collison and guard Kirk Hinrich shouldered much of the load in the second half, while squashing one Missouri run after another.
Collison scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds to finish the day with 22 and seven, respectively. Hinrich scored 15 of his game-high 24 points after the break. He also led both teams with eight assists, while playing tough defense on Missouri junior guard Ricky Clemons.
"Max, don't even go there. There is nothing positive I want to say about Jeff Grave or Aaron Miles."
Clemons, who recently denied charges that he abused his girlfriend,
Roy Williams
Men's Basketball coach
heard chants of "woman beater" from the Kansas crowd before Williams asked them to stop during a first-half timeout. Clemons scored a team-high 19 points for the Tigers but took 15 three-pointers and made just five.
Clemons, Collision and Hinrich all were predictable focal points, but two Jayhawk reserves turned in uncharacteristically impressive performances. Their timing couldn't have been better for Kansas.
With Miles and Graves suffering offnights, sophomore guard Michael Lee and junior forward Bryant Nash filled in admirably for the Jayhawks. Nash's seven points were one off his career high of eight, set against Holy Cross in November. More than the points, Nash was aggressive attacking the basket. His violent, fast break dunk at the end of the first half sent Kansas to the locker room on a positive note.
"I haven't seen it yet," Nash said of the slam. "I just took off. I tried to get another one, but Michael Lee didn't see me."
Lee didn't have any dunks of his own, but his clutch free throws helped seal a Kansas victory. He made 3-of-4 charities in the final 27 seconds, pushing Kansas' lead to five points.
"I felt like if somebody was going to get fouled I wanted it to be me," he said after the game.
Lee also came up with a rebound for the Jayhawks' final possession. He scored seven points, grabbed four rebounds and didn't commit a turnover
while playing a career-high 28 minutes.
Williams said more evaluations are needed before he will know if injured sophomore forward Wayne Simien will need shoulder surgery. There will not be an announcement
until Simien's status changes. Williams said.
Collison needs just one point to reach 1,800 in his career.

In a little more than a season and a half of playing basketball at Kansas, sophomore Michael Lee has earned a reputation for hard-nosed play and the nickname "Tweet" for his fouling in practice.
In the past weeks, Lee has embarked on a new reputation as the clutch free-throw shooter for the Jayhawks.
"The way I look at free throws is, it is the easiest shot in basketball besides an uncontested lay-up," Lee said. "The gym is quiet when I shoot, so I just try and concentrate."
When Lee stepped up to the line for a one-and-one with 26.8 seconds leftofthe clock and his Jayhawks clinging to a 72-69 lead over the Tigers, the former high school football tight end and defensive back felt right at home.
been at the line before in a late-game situation.
After hitting two late free throws against Colorado in a 60-59 loss on Jan. 22 and several more in a 90-87 win over Texas on Jan. 27, Lee had
"On the first one, I thought I had two free throws," said Lee about the front end of the one-and-one. "I thought that helped me concentrate."
Lee's second free throw ripped through the cords of the net, giving Kansas a 74-69 lead and giving Lee a satisfying 20th birthday gift.
Lee told reporters after the game he was searching for a birthday gift after his teammates had offered little in the form of presents.

Fans repeat classless behavior during game
By Ryan Greene
rggreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Another "Big Monday" game in front of a national audience, and it was another job well done by Kansas students showing a lack of class.
It's hard to beat the issue of fans and class harder than it has already been hit, but last night's display from the student section was a pure disgrace to me as both a journalist and a spectator.
A week ago yesterday, about 100 idiot fans rushed the floor after Kansas downed third-ranked Texas at Allen Fieldhouse. Sure, the Jayhawks entered that game ranked lower than the Longhorns, but it has never been in the nature of Kansas basketball to provide such a pathetic display. The team attitude is to expect a win every time you step on the floor.
This week, the students had an opportunity to redeem themselves by leaving Missouri guard Ricky Clemons alone, instead of taunting him for his recent arrest for choking a female. Then, two minutes into the game, the crowd chanted "Woman Beater, Woman Beater, Woman Beater." This went along with the numerous vicious comments shouted to Clemons during warm-ups that I don't dare repeat in this publication.
Roy Williams silenced the students before the game as they began similar chants, but apparently they forgot the orders of the coach once he left to attend to business.
I'd like to hit the rewind button and take you back two seasons.
Iowa State was visiting Allen Fieldhouse, and students made fools of themselves by chanting "GED" and "High School Dropout" at Cyclone guard Jamaal Tinsley before the game. Tinsley responded by raining threes over Kirk Hinrich all night in a 79-77 Iowa State win.
On ESPN following the game, analyst Digger Phelps called the Kansas fans "classless," which was well deserved.
Now back to last night.
Clemons did not seem bothered by the hazing, leading Mizzou with 19 points in a losing effort. So what exactly was the point of even starting with the guy?
It's hard to say what I'm about to say, because I believe that under no circumstances is it right to hit or abuse a female, but I have to give props to Clemons for not letting the taunting get into his head.

University honors two former female athletes

Angela Aycock and Tamecka Dixon became the second and third women to hang their jerseys from the Allen Fieldhouse rafters last night.
"It just goes to show that I've dedicated four years of my life to this University and to these people," Dixon said. "It's great to come back and feel the vibe of Kansas basketball again."
Dixon flew back from Italy, where she plays professional basketball during the WNBA offseason, to attend the ceremony. Dixon, a member of the Los Angeles Sparks, made her mark as a professional. She won two WNBA titles and earned league all-star honors twice.
Aycock attended as well but was unable to take part in the halftime ceremony because of her vows as a novice nun. Her commitment comes with a vow of humility.
Women's coach Marian Washington, who coached both Aycock and Dixon as Jayhawks, said she was proud to see her players' efforts awarded at the ceremony.
"They're family to me now and I just miss them so much," Washington said. "I'm so happy and proud for them because they truly did a great job for our

Dixon said it was still a rush to find her name among the list of great KU basketball players who had their jerseys retired over the years at the University.

Sophomore Langford outperforms stars of old
This year's men's basketball team is riding on the performance of sensational sophomore Keith Langford. Keith "I-dunk-over-guys-nine-inches-taller-than-me" Langford is the star because of his improvement in the offseason.
How much has Langford improved? Let me count the ways.
First, Langford gained five pounds of muscle between last season and this season. He is now up from 200 pounds to a more solid 205 pounds. This helps him finish strong inside as he slashes to the hoop.
Secondly, he has more than doubled his average number of points per game. Up from 7.9 points last season, he's making 16.6 points per game this year.
Not to get sidetracked, but NBA studs Drew Gooden and Paul Pierce averaged only 15.8 and 16.3 points per game, respectively, in their sophomore seasons
Langford's rebounds per game have increased from 3.3 last year to 5 this season.
Now that we've looked at Langford's inside game, we have to decide whether his outside game has improved. In short, Langford bumped up last year's percentage of shots made from behind the arc — 26.8 percent — to 32.7 percent this year.
Skeptics may say that Langford's rising numbers can be attributed to his increased playing time. That's not true.
Where is it written that when people play more they are going to put up bigger numbers? There are more opportunities to perform with more playing time, but it's what Langford has been doing with his opportunities that's so impressive.
In only one game of 20 has Langford failed to score in double figures.
The Fort Worth, Texas, native brings style when he steps on the court. He sports a tattoo on his right arm with a "K" inside the Superman symbol, a la Shaquille O'Neal. The tattoo is brazen, but not overdone.
"Super Keith" has notched up 21 dunks this season. One of them was on a half-court lob pass from Kirk Hinrich. Langford went way up to grab and throw down. If you saw it, you remember it.
Langford also changes his shoes at halftime if he's not happy with his first half performance. This is just one quirk that makes Langford the most exciting Jayhawk on the roster this year.

U Conn coach has prostate cancer
The Associated Press
Connecticut men's coach Jim Calhoun has prostate cancer and is leaving the team to undergo surgery.
"I want to attack this thing." Cahoun said yesterday at practice. "I'm going after it."
The 60-year-old Calhoun will take a three-to-four week medical leave, with assistant George Blaney taking over as coach on an interim basis. Surgery was scheduled for Thursday.
Calhoun's doctor, UConn Health Center urologist Peter Albertsen, said the cancer was detected early and was "relatively low-grade.
"Coach Calhoun's condition appears to be very treatable and we anticipate his return to normal job-related activities within three or four weeks." said Albertsen, who will perform the surgery.
In his 17th season at Connecticut, Calhoun led the Huskies to national prominence, capped by an NCAA title in 1999. With a career record of 637-290, including 14 seasons at Northeastern, Calhoun is among the top 10 active Division I coaches with at least 600 career wins.
The 18th-ranked Huskies (13-4, 4-2 Big East) play tomorrow at Virginia Tech. The Huskies are coming off a 95-71 loss
to Providence on Saturday, their worst loss ever at Gampel Pavilion.
Last season, UConn won its seventh Big East regular-season championship under Calhoun. The Huskies then captured their fifth Big East tournament title.
Calhoun is the only coach in Big East history to have been named the league's top coach four times. The Braintree, Mass. native is also a member of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame.
The Huskies have been to the NCAA tournament 10 times under Calhoun. Last year, they made the round of eight before losing to eventual national champion Maryland.
Florida moves to No.1 for first time
The Associated Press
Florida, the only member of the top five not to lose last week, moved to No. 1 in the AP men's college basketball poll yesterday for the first time in school history.
The Gators (18-2) jumped from fourth to No. 1 after matching the longest winning streak in school history at 14 games with victories last week over LSU and Arkansas.
Florida is the 49th school to be ranked No.1 in the history of the AP poll, which started during the 1948-49 season. The Gators are the second team to reach the top spot for the first time ever this season, joining fellow Southeastern Conference
They also took advantage of losses by Arizona, Pittsburgh, Texas and Duke, the teams surrounding Florida in the top five last week.
member Alabama, which was No. 1 for two weeks.
And the No. 1 ranking will get an immediate test as the Gators play at No. 6 Kentucky on tonight.
Florida's previous highest ranking was No. 2—for one week last season.
Pittsburgh (15-2), which had a chance to move up one spot to be No. 1 for the first time in school history with a win over Syracuse on Saturday, instead dropped two places to fourth following the 67-65 loss.
The Wildcats were No. 1 on 15 ballots and had 1,687 points, 130 more than Texas (14-3), which held third after losing at Kansas last Monday and then ending Oklahoma State's 15-game winning streak on Saturday. The Longhorns received five first-place votes.
Louisville (16-1) the last team in Division I with just one loss, jumped
from eighth to No. 5, the Cardinals' highest ranking since being fifth in the poll released on Feb. 14, 1994. The Cardinals, who received four first-place votes, extended their winning streak to 15 games Saturday with a 95-76 victory over Indiana. Their only loss was 86-84 to Purdue in the second game of the season.
Kentucky which has won 10 straight games, and Oklahoma were sixth and seventh, switching places from last week.
Maryland, Duke and Notre Dame rounded out the Top 10. Duke lost at Florida State on Sunday.
Oklahoma State was 11th this week followed by Kansas, Creighton, Wake Forest, Marquette Illinois, Georgia Connecticut, Syracuse and Xavier.
The last five ranked teams were Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi State, Purdue and Stanford.

Michael Lee, sophomore guard, battles for a rebound after a Missouri shot. Lee had two rebounds on defense yesterday at the Fieldhouse.
Lee
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"A couple of players in warmups passed me the ball more and said, 'Here, Michael, it's your present." Lee said.
Lee played a career-high 28 minutes against Missouri, tallying seven points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Where high school teammate Aaron Miles failed, Lee succeeded, after Miles played a season-low 19 minutes.
Miles spent all but six minutes of the second half on the bench after the sophomore point guard scored two points and committed six turnovers against five assists.
"I told Aaron I don't give a blankety-blank about shooting the basketball," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "You can't have six turnovers in this game."
In the post-game press conference, as angry as Williams was with Miles' play, the Kansas coach praised Lee.
"Birthday boy was sensational for us," Williams said. "He came in and played some good defense and made some free throws for us."
Not only was Lee in the lineup down the stretch of the game, but junior forward Bryant Nash also scored seven points and played 22 minutes, including the final minutes against the Tigers.
Nash said the team did not have much planned for Lee's celebration after the battle with Missouri.
"We'll probably go out there and beat him up a little bit," said Nash. "Maybe we'll play some video games."
Not only was Lee able to celebrate his birthday with a win, but Cynthia Lee, Michael's mother, had been in Lawrence since the Arizona game on Jan.
25.
Lee said his mother baked him a batch of cupcakes and bought him several shirts.
A Kansas win, 28 minutes of
playing time and cupcakes all contributed to a satisfying birthday for Lee, but Lee said he had only begun to tap into his potential.
"I'm taking a lot of big steps forward, but I still have a long ways to go," Lee said.

UConn moves up to No.1 ranking
The Associated Press
Connecticut left no room for doubt.
After an impressive victory at Duke, the Huskies were a unanimous choice to replace the Blue Devils at No.1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll yesterday.
Connecticut (20-0) is the only unbeaten team in Division I and has won a women's record 59 straight games. The Huskies received all 44 first-place votes from a national media panel and had 1,100 points.
Duke (20-1), No. 1 in the first 12 polls of the season, slipped to second with 1,038 points.
This season marked the first time the Blue Devils had been ranked No. 1. Their hopes of staying there ended with a 77-65 loss to UConn on Saturday night in front of a full house at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Connecticut's move to the top was expected and certainly nothing new for the Huskies, who coming into this season had Been No.1 in 49 of the previous 56 poll. They were No.1 all last season, when they went 39-0 in winning their third
national championship.
Does this mean UConn is the best team again?
"I have no idea," coach Geno Auriemma said. "I've coached a lot of No. 1 teams in the country and this one has a lot of those pieces missing. But so do a lot of other people."
Connecticut beat Tennessee 63-62 in overtime in Hartford on Jan. 4. Tennessee (18-3) has won nine straight since and moved up one spot to third with 997 points - 41 behind Duke.
No. 4 LSU also climbed one spot, while Kansas State slipped two places to fifth after a 74-69 loss at unranked Iowa State. The Wildcats bounced back with a 74-45 victory at then-No. 19 Oklahoma.
Stanford remained sixth, while North Carolina and Texas Tech tied for seventh. Louisiana Tech was ninth and Purdue 10th.
Texas led the second 10 at No.11 and Mississippi State moved up one place to 12th. Then it was Penn State, Arkansas and Minnesota, followed by South Carolina, Georgia, Vanderbilt, UC Santa Barbara and Washington.

Clemons may be the guy who allegedly broke the law, and it now shows that he might have done it before in the past as well, but he was the bigger man last night, not reacting to the comments and taking it in stride.
With both of the Big Monday fan fiascoes having occurred, I've lost all faith in Kansas fans and
their ability to truly be fans, not hooligans. Luckily, the home schedule for the rest of the season does not show any more opportunities for random acts of idiocy.
However, to those students who found it so necessary to kick a man while he's down, your team may have won the game, but you lost your credibility as tasteful fans.

Today's Birthday (Feb. 4).
An old friend helps you find a way through the maze to the treasure. No need to go it alone this year. Don't listen to the people who say you'll never make it. A creative partner will make it all OK, even if you don't make it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6. There are a lot of temptations to spend, and a couple of pretty good reasons. First, find a way to make more money.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept, 22). Today is a 6.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21), Today is a 7.
The more questions you ask, the more you understand and the more your love grows. Sounds simple.
except for that first question (the one you've been thinking about).
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.

Employee takes down shoplifter
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Kent Politsch saved the Kansas Union Bookstore $184 Monday when he chased down a shoplifter and detained him until officers from the KU Public Safety Office arrived and arrested the man.
The suspect, Michael Aldridge, who is not a KU student, left the Kansas Union Bookstore at 10 a.m. and alerted store employees when he set off the alarm system.
Aldridge took off running, Politsch, the technology sales supervisor of KU Bookstores, said, and he heard Aldridge run by his open office door with a cashier running and calling after him to stop.
"I just kind of reacted," Politsch said. "I thought I could catch him."
Politisch pursued Aldridge across Mississippi Street behind the Union and saw him go into the tunnel that connects the southeast Memorial Stadium lot, to the Union.
Politsch said when he opened the door to the tunnel it was silent.
He found Aldridge hiding behind a vending machine in the tunnel.
"It was like every bad cops movie you've ever seen," he said.
Politsch said he asked Aldridge to go back to into the bookstore and settle the situation, but Aldridge resisted and swung at him.
"Then I pushed him against the wall and hooked his leg and got him down on the ground," Politsch said.
He said a witness to the scuffle told them to "cut it out", thinking that the two were getting in a fight. Polititsch explained that he was a bookstore employee and was chasing Aldridge because he had taken several things from the store. The witness then called 911.
He said the alarm system was about five or six months old, and the bookstore had formed a security team to address store security issues.
KU Bookstores director Mike Reid said this was the first time the bookstore had detained someone for shoplifting during the current academic year.
He said the store was focusing on secu- rity because of tough economic times.
"We are working toward a position for someone whose responsibility will be store security." Reid said.
Aldridge was released from Douglas County jail today on local charges but was taken to Johnson County jail in Olathe and is being held with a bail of $800 on a charge of criminal trespass in Shawnee.

Professor studies ant-fungus relationship

When most people see an ant crawling across the floor, their first reaction is to kill the pesky creature. But for Cameron Currie, killing ants and other
insects has never been an option.
"Even before my Ph.D. I had an appreciation for the importance of insects," Currie said. Currie an assistant professor in ecology and evolutionary biology, studied the Attine ants of Panama and discovered a rare, fourway symbiotic relationship. Symbiosis is a close association of two or more animal or plant species that are dependent on one another.

dependent on one another.
He found this particular type of leaf cutter ant not only maintained fungus farms to produce food for their colonies, but also grew bacteria on their bodies to ward off an unwanted parasite that fed on their fungi.
The ants, the two types of fungi, the bacteria and the parasite together create a complex symbiotic relationship.
Currie said his research on ants could apply to human treatment of disease because it would help in understanding how to avoid making antibiotics resistant to pathogens.
Currie's lab at KU consists of 200 ant colonies that have anywhere from 10 ants to
5,000 ants, he said.
Ulrich Mueller,
associate professor
at the University of
Texas, is active in
assisting Currie in the
collection of ants in
Panama.
"It's almost a pathological obsession to go after them. It takes more than a little diligence," Mueller said.

Publisher to receive award at ceremony

Kansan staff writer
The William Allen White Foundation at the University of Kansas will award the publisher of The New York Times and chairman of the New York Times Co., Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., with the 2003 national citation this week.
Sulzberger will give the annual William Allen White Day public address at 1:30 p.m. Friday at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
P. S.
Malcolm Gibson, assistant professor of journalism and general manager of The University Daily Kansan, said Sulzberger Jr. was well deserving of the award.
Sulzberger
"The New York Times is the best newspaper in the world," Gibson said. "And in 10 years he has made great changes and improvements to it."
Sulzberger became the chairman of The New York Times Co. in 1997 and he has been The New York Times publisher since 1992. As the company's senior executive he has helped shape the focus of the newspaper to not only improve its print sections, but to also incorporate multimedia elements into its content.
"Sulzberger Jr. sees the digital age as important to The New York Times as when they started printing on paper," Gibson said.
A panel of White Foundation trustees chose Sulzberger Jr. to receive the award. The award has been presented annually since 1950 to journalists who exemplify the ideals of William Allen White, an influential Kansas editor and publisher. Sulzberger's father, Arthur O. Sulzberger, received the citation in 1974.
Mary Wallace, associate dean of journalism, said Sulzberger would take time to meet with journalism students during his visit.
He will meet with students for breakfast at 8:00 a.m. at the Centennial room in the Kansas Union.
He will also be meeting with combined editing and reporting classes at 9:30 a.m.at room 206 in Stauffer-Flint Hall.

Graffiti may lead to fines, jail time
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Tony Jones realizes he can't paint the town gray.
As community services work coordinator for Douglas County, his job may require him to clean off or paint over Lawrence's graffiti, but Jones said it wasn't his responsibility to correct it.
"I don't think we can legislate moral values to people, and that's what this is," Jones said.
Graffiti's turnover is fast. Jones and his crew make sure of that. Wherever graffiti lies, they come painting. Together they crisscross the alleys, painting blotches of "institutional gray."
"Maybe that's a good thing because it does look like the same color of gray that are on prison bars," Jones said. "Maybe these individuals who do graffiti will someday get to really enjoy that color."
Nate Vormehr, former graffiti writer, was briefly in prison in early February 2001. Police caught him writing graffiti at the catwalks under the I-70 bridge over the Kansas River. He spent the following summer painting over graffiti covering the catwalks.
Jones' painting crew consists of himself and individuals who have gone through the court system for misdemeanors or felonies. They have opted out of paying fines by doing community service work. The $5 they make an hour goes toward paying their fines.
Graffiti IN LAWRENCE
In tomorrow's paper, part four of the five-part series will explain the city's code of graffiti removal and property owners adherence to it.
Since Jones began his position five years ago, the number of people caught writing graffiti is difficult to determine because some of the workers were convicted of destructing property, which could mean writing graffiti or breaking a window. He knows of only one worker
Of the 22,000 community service work hours Jones deals out every year, he said, 50 to 75 hours are spent painting over graffiti. He'd like to spend more.
"It was a young kid, he was scared to death, and he just had a pen in his pocket," Jones said. "Allegedly, it was his first time. Hopefully, one less graffiti artist."
that was a graffiti writer.
Instead, Jones mostly deals with individuals who have misdemeanors for shoplifting or driving under the influence.
Business owners and private property owners who see the Community Corrections ad on local television can call Jones' office at the Lawrence Police Department to have graffiti removed.
Sue Vance, manager of Children's
Book Shop, 937 Massachusetts St., called Jones to have his workers paint over graffiti on the back of the shop. The new gray paint stood out against the brick, but Jones didn't have color options to match the shops' existing walls. The paint is donated from local companies such as Kmart and is mixed together, which Jones said produced the institutional gray and other bland colors.
"We aren't out in the business of doing home repair," he said. "Based on limited options, we go in and cover up graffiti. End of story."
Jones said the office did this as a goodwill effort. He and his crew are not professional painters but try to paint with at

Lawrence woman raped early Monday morning
A 20-year-old woman from Lawrence was raped about 4 a.m. on Monday, said Lt. David Cobb of the Lawrence Police Department.
The victim reported the rape immediately after it happened and the suspect was still in the area when officers arrived on the scene, Cobb said.
Cobb said the rape occurred in a motel in central Lawrence. The suspect, Kenneth Brouhard, is a 21-year-old male from Lecompont and is an acquaintance of the victim, Cobb said.
Brouhard was arrested and was being held at the Douglas County Jail on charges of rape and aggravated criminal sodomy on $25,000 bond.
Neither the victim nor the suspect are University of Kansas students. Cobb said there were no date-rape drugs involved.

Explosive detonates in principal's mailbox
EMPORIA — Five Emporia High School students have been arrested in connection with an explosive that detonated in a middle school official's mailbox, police said.
The students, who range in age from 14 to 17, were arrested Saturday on suspicion of arson and conspiracy to commit arson and released to their families, Deputy Police Chief Mike Williams said. The Lyon County prosecutor's office said the students had not been charged as of late yesterday morning.
The investigation began Jan. 28 after an explosive device went off in
the mailbox at the residence of David Krumme, assistant principal at Emporia Middle School.
"It appears that this is related to and directed at Mr. Krumme with regard to a school-related incident a year ago and one of the juveniles," Williams said.
No one was hurt and the explosion caused no significant damage, Williams said. He said he was waiting for laboratory tests to determine what kind of explosive was used.
Williams said there was no connection to the bomb threats made against Emporia schools in September.
NATION
NEW YORK — Two designs that would put the tallest buildings in the world at the site of the World Trade Center were selected yesterday as the finalists in the plan to redevelop ground zero.
Design finalists selected for WTC redevelopment
The plan from Berlin architect Daniel Libeskind calls for glassy, angular buildings clustered around the foundations of the fallen towers. The other, proposed by an international team of design firms known as THINK, evokes the original trade center with twin towers of ethereal latticework.
The final plan will be picked at the end of the month.
"What we're doing today is advancing two extraordinary designs," said Roland Betts, head of the redevelopment planning committee.
The final designs include a conceptual vision for where the victims' memorial might be built, but a specific plan is scheduled to be chosen in September after an international competition.

Elevator in Tower traps resident
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
A stuck elevator halted one student for more than an hour last weekend.
Deanna Watson, Grandview, Mo., sophomore, spent an hour and 15 minutes stuck in an elevator in Jayhawker Towers early Monday morning.
Watson was on her way back to her room at 12:50 a.m. at Tower B when the elevator stopped.
"I just kept pushing the button with the bell on it," Watson said. "I think part of what took so long was that it was the outside contractor who came instead of an emergency crew."
Vince Avila, associate director of housing maintenance, said elevators in the residence halls were
bound to break down because of frequent use.
When the department of student housing receives a call about a person being stuck in an elevator in a residence hall, it calls A.R.W., Ltd. Elevator Division in Kansas City, Mo., the company contracted for elevator maintenance for the University of Kansas.
Avila said the company usually
sent someone from Lawrence, especially after hours. "According to the contract we have with them, they have a certain amount of time to respond to the call," he said.
Watson has a new attitude about elevators after her experience this weekend—she takes the stairs everywhere now.

Keep money in check to avoid fraud

Roy Thomas Jr. became a forgery statistic over winter break
Thomas, Peoria, Ariz., sophomore, said he had noticed money was missing from his account and then checked his account online, where he found two checks written back to back that he did not remember writing.
When Thomas called the bank and received copies of the checks, he found out that they were made out to his roommate.
"He was the last person I ever expected to steal from me,"
"He was the last person I ever expected to steal from me."
Roy Thomas Jr.
Peoria, Ariz., sophomore about his roommate
Thomas said. "Now I keep all my checks in a hidden spot."
He said the forged checks and overdraft fees totaled about $690.
Tom Mink, senior security specialist for Commerce Bank, said the most important safety measure to do when missing a check or bank card was to notify the nearest bank branch.
Mink said if a customer reported the loss or theft of a card within 30 to 60 days of the time they first discovered it missing, purchases made after the card was stolen would be paid for by the bank.
Mink said most banks had a system to monitor a customer's purchasing habits for debit or credit cards and would call a customer if they suddenly noticed unusual purchases.
Mark Gonzales, community bank manager for Commerce Bank, said the key in preventing any unauthorized purchases was to review monthly bank statements thoroughly.
Gonzales said after customers contacted their banks, they had to fill out an affidavit for unauthorized purchases and file a police report.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the University of Kansas Public Safety Office said some students might put their identification in a backpack or a purse because it would be more convenient, but that was not the safest practice.
"If you can keep it on your person, that's the way to go," Bailey said. "And if you're leaving your purse in the car, it needs to go in the trunk."

Blimp hovers in missing category, stolen a second time
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The white blimp that hovered over the Gateway Country Stores, 3131 Nieder Road, was discovered missing Sunday.
Someone cut the electrical cord that attached the blimp to
the roof of the store, said Lt. David Cobb of the Lawrence Police Department. Cobb said officers had also recovered a knife that had burn marks consistent with those that would occur while cutting a cord.
Scott Purcell, general manager of the store, noticed the blimp was gone at 11:45 a.m.
Sunday. It was last seen Saturday about 9 p.m.
Greg Hanson, retail sales leader, said this was the second time the blimp, which is valued at $5,000, had been stolen from the store.
The last time it was taken, Lawrence police officers found the blimp in a field at the corner
of 31st and Louisiana streets, Cobb said. Hanson said it had been damaged beyond repair and Gateway later put up another blimp.
He said Gateway paid an advertising company to use the blimp to advertise for the store, but the blimp was owned by Giant Advertising, a Phoenix,
Ariz. advertising company that specializes in balloons.
"We will put another one up probably at a later date, depending on what Giant and corporate Gateway want to do," Hanson said.
The blimp was filled with helium and attached to the roof with an electrical cord that
allowed it to be lit up at night. Hanson said the blimp was about 24 feet long and would take 15 to 20 minutes to deflate.
Cobb said police would continue to look for the blimp, but officers had no suspects at the time.

EDITORIAL BOARD
The lots also serve the Multicultural Resource Center. Wouldn't the first step toward improving the center be allowing students to park near it?
Sign petition for parking redemption
So many students decry the atrocities of the Parking Department. In this petition, we have the opportunity to lobby the department to reevaluate a policy based on empirical evidence. For those who wish to stick it to the Parking Department, the petition is a better avenue to do so than vitriolic calls to the Free for All.
Senate has done its research on this one. Surveys of the lots between 5 and 7:30 p.m. have shown that the majority of the cars in those lots at 5 p.m. are students parked illegally. Faculty members are only using a small percentage of the spots. This shows that students have a greater need for the space.
The lots near Summerfield, Haworth and Malott halls are not open to student parking until 7:30 p.m. on weekdays. Student Senate is sponsoring a petition to change that to allow student parking there beginning at 5 p.m.
Get out there and sign that petition.
Other students question the efficacy of Student Senate. This is a great opportunity to help senators do something that helps us as students. If the Parking Commission and the Provost accept the idea, Senate — and the student body — will be victorious with minimal collateral damage. Although several professors might have to walk to Haworth Hall from the lot beside Robinson Center to teach a night class, it won't kill them.
Emily Elmore and Neil Mulka for The University Daily Kansas
So take a walk to the Kansas Union between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. today or tomorrow. As long as you're there, sign the petition. Then maybe you can have the privilege of parking 30 feet from the door of Summerfield Hall and thumbing your nose at a parking truck.

PERSPECTIVE
Women in draft necessary part of quest to end discrimination
Women, what are you willing to do to gain gender equality? Stage a protest? Lobby your congressman? How about go to war?
So ladies, stand up and fight for all your rights, even the unpopular ones. Like the Selective Service ad says, "You can handle this."
Chances are, most women on this campus would tell you they are in favor of gender equality. We want all the beneficial effects that true equality will bring. Unfortunately, while we have been busy fighting for equal education and job opportunities, we have forgotten that true equality does not always equal fun.
GUEST COMMENTARY
On Jan.7, U.S. Representative Charles Rangel proposed that the draft be reinstated if our country goes to war with Iraq. When he did not propose that women be included in the draft, the most common reaction I heard from my peers was a sigh of relief.
Koerth is a Salina senior in journalism and anthropology. She is Kansan special sections editor.
In a way, this is understandable. Few people desperately want to risk death on a battlefield, and the draft itself is not a popular institution. However, the draft is also one of the most glaring examples of state-sanctioned sexual discrimination in our country.
Every argument made by the Selective Service (www.sss.gov/wmbkgr.htm) and by the Supreme Court (Rostker v. Goldberg, 453 U.S. 57) against the inclusion of women in the draft is based on the assumptions that women do not belong on the battlefield and that the military has no use for anyone who is not on the front lines. Both are untrue.
The Israeli armed forces have drafted both men and women since 1948 with
Maggie Koerth
mkoerth@kansan.com
According to the Israeli Defense Forces Web site, www.idf.il/english/organization/chen/chen.stm, drafted women have been serving as paramilitary border police in combat positions since 1995. This is the equivalent of serving on the front lines.
out any detriment to their ability to fight and win. For decades, those women aided their country by serving in technology, intelligence and other behind-the-scenes positions crucial to the military effort. Their work allowed more men to be moved to frontline positions.
Are Israeli women really that much more useful and capable than American women? I doubt it.
If we accept the discrimination of the draft, we accept the chauvinistic images of an unreliable, delicate womanhood and a macho, war-loving manhood. No amount of protesting for more "fun" rights will erase that acceptance.
So why have so many women ignored this issue? Why are there not daily protests on Wescoe Beach demanding the military respect the equality of the sexes?
It can't be because it's a hard point to argue.
Even those people who will never be convinced that women can fight in a war must see how useful women can be to the support services of the military, espe-
cally now that the military is so understaffed.
I am not asking women to believe the draft is a good thing. I am not asking them to want to fight and die.
This is not a new problem. Gloria Sti腾em addressed the same issues in 1970 in a Washington Post article called "Women's Liberation Aims to Free Men Too."
What I am telling women is that we cannot pick and choose what equalities we want.
"We want to liberate men from those inhuman roles as well," she wrote. "We want to share the work and responsibility, and to have men share equal responsibility for the children."
To her, accepting all parts of equality would ultimately help both sexes by equally distributing the pressure of traditionally sex-related roles like military service.

Potty mouth reflects on intelligence of speaker
On Jan. 13, Patricia Heaton walked out on the American Music Awards. The actress,
"I'm no prude, but this was such a vulgar and disgusting show," she said. "What was passing for humor basically ranged from stupid to vulgar, and I just thought, 'I'm not going to be part of this.'"

Heaton's choice was courageous and a sad commentary on American language, where profanity and sex humor pass for normal in sitcoms and everyday conversation.
COMMENTARY
Joe Pull
opinion@hansan.com
Obscenity spouts from mouths everywhere, regardless of the social situation or listeners present. Use of the now commonplace four-letter word is no longer
shocking enough, so people become more and more creative in using mutations of these words and in coming up with new ones.
As for humor, the definition of "joke" has been reduced to an uncreative, brainless formula: 1) Think of sexual anatomy or act, 2) Link a common phrase to this anatomy or act, 3) Use the phrase in a sentence, giving it a slight emphasis, 4) Laugh like a junior high boy in the locker room.
Example: 1) Sex, 2) Rotating car tires,
3) "I'll rotate her tires for her!" 4) Haha-
haahaha.
Wow, wasn't that funny? So clever,
too.
Obscene language and sex humor communicate only a lack of thought. They are unoriginal and rude. They degrade the speaker.
They show a lack of self control and a lack of respect for the listener. They offend. In the case of sex humor, they take something that ought to be beautiful and reduce it to gutter trash, devaluing it as it becomes fodder for crude snickers.
What we talk about becomes what we think about.
Profanity and sex humor are the easy, useless filler a speaker uses when he doesn't have anything worth saying. They waste our time, moving conversation and thought away from useful topics into the wasteland of toilet materials and private activities. They give culture an unhealthy and excessive emphasis on sex and things that are foul, which is not to say that the two are the same.
As U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Connecticut, has often pointed out,
children raised in this environment absorb the sex-and-profanity mentality at young ages and their views of reality are skewed and poisoned.
The obvious solution is simply to not resort to sexual humor and obscenity. Breaking the habit of using profanity or making the easy sex joke may take some time, but there's a lot to win: The impression you make on others is no longer foulmouthed. You no longer need worry about slipping in the wrong word at the wrong time.
English certainly has no lack of words to use in place of profanity.
If emphasis is needed, there are many alternatives to the four-letter word. As a Jayhawk, you might want to try the Roy Williamsism "dad-gum."
Then again, something else might be better.
Find it! You and your conversations will be better for the effort.

Young researcher receives new grant
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Growing up as a farm kid, Douglas Wright said he never set out to cure any diseases.
Instead he said his life choices had led him to research diseases,
"I'm not one of those people who said I want to be a researcher and cure cancer. That never happened that way," he said. "It's kind of steps and ladders."
A 1992 graduate of the University of Kentucky, Wright is entering his sixth year at the University School of Medicine as an assistant professor of anatomy and cell biology. Already the National Institute of Health has awarded Wright four research grants.
"He is certainly one of the rising stars in the research faculty," said Joan Hunt, associate dean for research and graduate education.
"He personifies the kind of young researcher that will make the University great in the future." she said.
Normally by his age, a researcher just starts receiving grants. Hunt said.
Wright's newest grant is for the study of neurological disorders given to the school by the NIH in early January.
Under this new grant, Wright is working with three graduate students and two lab technicians to study the sensory neurons involved in diabetic neuropathy, which is a nerve disorder caused by diabetes.
"One of the sad complications of diabetes is that it affects the nervous system," Wright said.
Diabetes causes loss of sensation for the patients, especially in the feet, he said.
The goal of the research is to find out which neurons are being affected, understand the basic mechanisms that affect the disease and target chemical mediators that are involved and how these mediators can be used as therapeutic agents, Wright said.
Wright and his team are doing their research with mice, although similar experiments in the past were done with rats. One difference they have found between rats and mice is one of the most fascinating discoveries in their research. Wright said.
While the feet of rats stricken with diabetes become highly sensitive to pain, mice with diabetes lose sensation in their feet, just like humans. With this discovery, doing studies on these mice to understand how their nervous system works will push their research forward, Wright said.
Inspiration to do this research came from his fascination with the nervous system, Wright said.
"I'm sort of overwhelmed at the complexity of the system that's frightening, yet exciting," he said. "The more we learn about the nervous system, the more we realize the less we know about it."
But Wright has not always done research with the nervous system and mice. In his postdoctoral study at Washington University in St. Louis, Wright worked with fish and sting rays.
"I never thought I would be studying clinical-related neuroscience," Wright said. "I came a long way from taking care of stingrays."

Exite easier for students called to duty
When students are called to active military duty, they have to make one stop instead of spending hours on campus withdrawing from classes and arranging refunds.
The Office for Student Support and the University Registrar have adopted a "one-stop exit" for students called to active duty. This is the first time the registrar's office has used this type of system. Instead of contacting all their instructors and the various offices necessary to withdraw from the University, students can now make one stop at the registrar's office and be ready to leave in about 15 minutes.
Judy Gilliland, an administrative assistant at the registrar's office who is in charge of veterans services, estimated three to
"The time I would have spent waiting in line, I got to spend with my family."
Jason Brunner Shawnee junior
five people had used this procedure since it was implemented last week.
"Most students only have a few days to get their things in order, so we're trying to expedite the process," Gilliland said. "Before, they would have to go to student housing, go to the enrollment center. It could take them an entire day."
Jason Brunner, Shawnee junior, used the new "one-stop exit" before leaving for active duty last week. Leaving the University took him two hours instead of seven or eight, he said.
"As with everything that goes
on at KU, like enrollment and add/drop, it takes a long time to get something done," Brunner said. "The time I would have spent waiting in line, I got to spend with my family. If I would have done it the old way, I would have lost all that time with my family."
Students ordered to active duty usually need to withdraw from all classes, move out of student housing and arrange for refunds in tuition, campus fees and parking or bus passes. Now, the registrar's office will contact the appropriate offices to arrange these refunds.
"We do an exit interview process," Gilliland said. "I ask them questions, like if they need me to contact the financial aid office or student housing, and get their forwarding address."
Students who leave for military duty and contact the University Registrar, will receive a full
refund of tuition and fees if they withdraw from all their classes. Partial refunds will be given when credit is awarded for some classes but not all of them. No record is kept of the reason for cancellation or withdrawal.
The registrar's office will ask the Student Development Center to notify instructors of a student's military status, and students can contact their teachers by phone or e-mail about the possibility of a grade or incomplete in a course.
According to a survey issued last fall, 10 students were in the active reserves, 15 in inactive reserves and 33 in the National Guard. More than 20 students have been ordered to report to active duty in the past few months, said Richard Morrell, University registrar, in a press release.
Newsletter aims to unite Christian groups

The staff of a new Christian newsletter said it wanted to achieve Christian unity at the University of Kansas.
Abby Swift, Olathe senior, conceived the idea of Flood Light during the "I Agree with Lee" campaign last spring. She said the campaign created unity that she wanted to help continue. The campaign spread the word of faith through T-shirts with "I Agree with Lee" printed on them.
"When you feel the creator of the universe asking you to do something, it's hard to say no," Swift said.
She contacted people she knew with media and publishing experience and began brainstorming.
Over time, a staff formed including Swift, coordinator of publicity and advertising, Tim Kleier, production manager and Spring Hill junior, and Trisha Wyckoff, design and layout editor and Clearview City senior. By last June, they had began to prepare for the first issue.
"I believe that it was God's will, and if its God's will, then I want to be involved," Kleier said.
Swift was teaching English in China when the first issue came out in August. The students' goal was to create a comprehensive newsletter that unified the Christian organizations on campus. The four editors distribute the newsletter at Christian organization meetings. Swift said they wanted its title to reflect that ambition.
"God calls us to be the lights in this world," she said. "A lot of lights
"God calls us to be the lights in this world. A lot of lights are little and dispersed. We bring the lights together in one undeniable flood light."

are little and dispersed. We bring the lights together in one undeniable flood light."
While helping design the first issue, Kleier also wrote his testimony. Kleier wrote about his walk with God since he became a Christian when he was 16. The reoccurring feature gives contributors an opportunity to share how they see Christianity in their lives. Other
contributors to the feature include Lee Bickerstaff, Emporia junior, and Swift's father, Tom Swift, a pastor.
Flood Light has other recurring features including a different verse each week, a monthly calendar of local Christian events and meeting schedule for local Christian organizations.
The staff of Flood Light continues to look for new staff members and contributors. Swift said she maintained an optimistic view for the newsletter's future.
"It's God's thing not my thing," she said. "Worry gets very little done."
The newsletter's fourth issue will be distributed after spring break.

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

NASA: We will continue space exploration Kline seeks to am
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON Jim Lovell, commander of the near-fatal Apollo 13 mission, said Monday that NASA would recover from the space shuttle Columbia tragedy and continue on with space exploration.
"The benefits of what we get from space far outweigh the occasional disaster we have." Lovell told reporters at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, two days after the breakup of Columbia killed seven astronauts.
The 1970 voyage of Apollo 13 was to have included a moon landing, but had to be aborted
after an oxygen tank ruptured aboard the spacecraft. Lovell, who modified the lunar module into a lifeboat and successfully piloted the craft back to earth, was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the movie Apollo 13.
Lovell, who was in Hutchinson Monday to speak at a Chamber of Commerce dinner, said all astronauts understood that space flight was risky business.
"The hearts and prayers of all astronauts go to the families of the seven pioneers who lost their lives on Columbia," he said.
As in the previous disasters, NASA will emerge stronger from the tragedy, he said. The greatest tribute to the astronauts who
died would be to find the problem and go on from there, he said.
Lovell said funding the space program had been controversial since it started, and its budget has always been a balancing act. But he said NASA had never sacrificed safety for expedition or because of a lack of funds.
"Tragedies occur, and in the future there may be more tragedies. ... The benefits we get from the program are worth the efforts that we do, and certainly everyone involved with the program is very much dedicated to what they do," Lovell said.
The former astronaut said he expected to see more consortium
projects like the international space station.
"We will be active in space. We will get over this tragedy," he said. "We will look ahead. We will find what went wrong, fix it and we will charge."
Like the Apollo 13 mission and the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986, the Columbia shuttle disaster made people realize how risky space flights are and generated tremendous interest, he said.
"It is human nature. ... This was the 113th shuttle flight _ maybe the number had something to do with it. I don't know." he said. "Complacency occurs in all of us."
Stations fight repeals on tax exemptions
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A House committee studying whether to repeal dozens of exemptions from the state sales tax heard opposition yesterday from broadcasters and advertising agencies.
The hearing was the first of several planned by the House Taxation Committee on dozens of bills to repeal about 70 exemptions from the 5.3 percent tax.
Committee Chairman John Edmonds, R-Great Bend, said enactment of the bills would
yield about $3.5 billion a year. The state will face a projected $750 million budget deficit in the next fiscal year.
First on the committee's agenda were proposals to repeal exemptions on sales of services by advertisers, TV and radio stations, and on noncommercial broadcasters' purchases of services and equipment. Those exemptions cost the state an estimated $4 million a year.
Gary McNair, general manager of KSNT in Topeka, said one-third of the TV station's business is from national advertisers.
His station would pass along the added cost to advertisers, who would then take their business elsewhere, McNair said.
Some stations in western Kansas that are already struggling to survive might be forced out of business, McNair said.
Broadcasters would be willing to pay the tax if people would be willing to pay for their signals. McNair said.
National advertisers could reach Kansans by advertising in Missouri or Oklahoma, and avoid the tax, said Michelle Stubbelfield, president of the
Topeka Advertising Federation.
Three other states — Florida, Arizona and Iowa — had sales taxes on advertisers and broadcasters repealed, said Marlee Carpenter, lobbyist for the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Edmonds asked each critic of the bill to name other taxes they thought ought to be repealed or to suggest where money could be cut from the state budget.
Carpenter told him: "When you tax business, that's less money out there for the local economy to grow and expand."
Kline seeks to amend sexual predator law
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - Attorney General Phill Kline wants legislators to amend a 1994 law to block the release of convicted criminals the state believes are sexual predators but have not yet been named as such in court.
Current law allows the state to hold violent sexual predators in the custody of the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services indefinitely for treatment after they have completed their original prison sentences.
To hold an inmate, the state must ask a jury to declare that person a sexual predator. A district court must hold a trial on the issue within 60 days of initially finding there is enough evidence to consider the question; if a trial is not held within 60 days, the inmate must be released from custody.
Kline said without a change to remove that time limit from the law,14 individuals would be released from prison without completing treatment.
"We consider this issue very, very serious and are taking all action that we can to prevent the further release of sexual predators." Kline said.
Kline said it was never the Legislature's intent to put restrictions on how quickly a trial must occur to declare an
individual a sexual predator, and that it was a civil, not criminal, procedure. He cited a Kansas Supreme Court ruling last year in the case of Edgar J. Searcy.
Searcy was 40 days away from his release from prison in April 2000 when the state filed a petition to have him declared a sexual predator. In May, Searcy decided not to challenge the state's contention that there was enough evidence to warrant a trial.
From that point, a trial had to begin within 60 days. But a judge didn't schedule a trial until August 2000, after the deadline, and the trial didn't occur for another six months. In February 2001, a jury in Barton County declared Searcy a violent sexual predator, based upon his prison time in Florida and Kansas for child sex offenses.
But Searcy appealed, and the state Supreme Court freed him, citing the 60-day deadline.
Kline said in most cases, court continuances delayed the trial and were agreed upon by both parties. The Supreme Court said no delays were acceptable and the 60-day limit was the same as the defendant's right to a speedy trial.
Kline said he had visited with legislators about introducing a bill to change the law and expected it to happen within the week.

Bush commemorates seven fallen astronauts
The Associated Press
SPACE CENTER, Houston — Led by President Bush, thousands of grieving space workers and their families, friends, neighbors and political leaders paid a solemn farewell yesterday to the seven Columbia astronauts.
"Their mission was almost complete and we lost them so close to home." Bush said.
Bush bowed his head in mourning and first lady Laura Bush wiped tears as the men and women who perished in the space shuttle disaster were commemorated at the home of Mission Control. The shuttle broke up Saturday as it was returning to Earth.
"Each of these astronauts had the daring and the discipline required of their calling. Each of them knew great endeavors are inseparable with great risk, and each of them accepted those risks willingly, even joyfully, in the cause of discovery." Bush said.
"America's space program will go on," Bush declared in the outdoor ceremony.
"All mankind is in their debt," Bush said of the fallen astronauts.
The memorial service, held at NASA's Johnson Space Center, opened with an invocation by a
Navy rabbi and the singing of the hymn, "God of Our Fathers."
Sean O'Keefe, NASA's administrator, said the bond between those who went into space and those on the ground "is incredibly strong. Today, our grief is overwhelming."
"We also have a tremendous duty to honor the legacy of these fallen heroes by finding out what caused the loss of the Columbia and its crew, to correct the problems we find and to make sure that this never happens again," O'Keefe said.
NASA estimated the crowd gathering in a plaza known as the Mall here at between 10,000 and 15,000. Mourners spilled beyond the square and crowded around a pond. They stood among the trees and on the lawns — waiting to hear the presidential eulogy.
"He's the leader of our country, and his being here wasn't necessary, but it does show we are mourning," said Rochelle Pritchard, a NASA contract worker who helps manufacture robotic flight control gear.
The memorial service had a personal dimension for Pritchard, who said she had attended Texas Tech with shuttle Cmdr. Rick Husband, who was among those who perished
Saturday.
Laura Lucier, an employee of the Canadian space agency who is based at Johnson Space Center, said that passion for space exploration had drawn workers here and gave the memorial service deeper meaning.
"There's nobody who works at NASA who isn't passionate about it," Lucier said. "When workers are lost, it means a lot more. You work here because you love it, not because it's a paycheck."
The impact of the Columbia's loss was felt well outside the space center's gates. Flags flew at half-staff throughout the region. The sign at a fast-food restaurant just outside Johnson's gates read "Our prayers to our NASA family."
The White House drew inspiration from President Reagan, who delivered one of the most eloquent speeches of his presidency after the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger.
"Sometimes, when we reach for the stars, we fall short," Reagan said on Jan. 31, 1986, to a crowd of 10,000 at Johnson, home of Mission Control, the nerve center of space shuttle flights. "But we must pick ourselves up again and press on despite the pain."

Powell to present evidence on Iraq to Security Council
NEW YORK — Secretary of State Colin Powell will be joined by top CIA officials today as he presents the U.N. Security Council with evidence culled from classified material to try to convince wavering allies and other nations that Iraq has defied calls to disarm.
The evidence is expected to include transcripts and possibly recordings of intercepted conversations of Iraqi officials discussing the country's weapons programs. There probably also will be images taken by satellites of suspected biological weapons labs, officials said.
CIA Director George J. Tenet and his chief deputy, John McLaughlin, are expected to accompany Powell.
Powell's report also is expected to indicate that Iraqi officials had advance knowledge where U.N. weapons inspectors were going to look, in line with a recent report from the British government that said Iraqi intelligence had bugged inspectors' telephones at hotel and conference rooms.
In selecting evidence, Powell and intelligence specialists are said to be taking care not to reveal more about their operations than they could safely show Iraq.
President Bush and his top national security officials have
said repeatedly that Iraq will be forcibly disarmed if it does not comply with U.N. resolutions demanding that it reveal and give up weapons of mass destruction.
Arriving in New York yesterday, Powell met first with Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan, whose government prefers a diplomatic approach to Iraq rather than using force to disarm President Saddam Hussein.
The chief U.N. weapons inspectors, Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, are due to visit Baghdad for two days of meetings next weekend.
Among their demands is access to Iraqi scientists and other officials without government "minders" auditing the interviews.
Blix said Tuesday at the U.N. that it was "five minutes to midnight" and Iraq must be forthcoming about its weapons during the visit. "I don't think that the end is there, that a date has been set for an armed action, but I think that we're moving closer and closer to it," Blix said.
In Iraq, meanwhile, U.N. arms investigators found another empty chemical warhead, the 17th discovered since mid-January. The Iraqis have said the empty munitions found earlier were overlooked leftovers from the 1980s.
Hussein, in an interview broadcast yesterday, denied his government has a relationship with Al Qaeda or has weapons of mass destruction. He said it would be impossible to hide such arms.
A retired British lawmaker, Tony Benn, conducted the interview Sunday in Baghdad for a yet-to-be-launched Arabic television station with administrative offices in London.
"If we had a relationship with Al Qaeda, and we believed in that relationship, we wouldn't be ashamed to admit it," the Iraqi leader said.
Before and after Powell's speech today to the Security Council, he intends to meet with foreign ministers and ambassadors from most of the other members.
Besides Powell's presentation today, all 14 other members and Iraqi Ambassador Mohammed Al-Douri are expected to make statements to the council in what could be a critical test of sentiment for using force to disarm Iraq.
Powell hopes his evidence will persuade the council that Iraq has caches of chemical and biological weapons, nascent nuclear weapons, long-range missile programs and ties to terror groups.

Ants
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Mueller and Currie make their collections, are 50 feet by 50 feet above ground and as much as 10 feet below ground.
As a child, Currie never had an ant farm. What attracted him to the research was his interest in studying complex relationships.
"Some people who study insects have a love of insects early on, but I don't fit into that category." Currie said.
Currie received a five-year
$2.7 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
His research was published in the journal Science on Jan. 17 and has also been featured in the science section of The New York Times.
Currie has received positive feedback from his colleagues. The most interesting reaction came just two days ago from some college students in Washington state who had written a play based on his research for their biology reading group.

Graffiti
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
COSR
least some order and organization. Jones must have permission from private property owners before painting over graffiti.
Brandon Baker/Kansan
"Cosr" KU student and local graffiti writer, doesn't get permission. He just does it.
"I can understand any business owner not wanting graffiti on their walls," Cosr said. "But a big gray block on an abandoned building? I guess they're thinking maybe it's a deterrent or something, but I think it makes the town look uglier."
Jones said graffiti writers didn't like to tag on top of his gray blotches.
"I would rather them tag over the gray, to be honest with you," Jones said. "Whenever they tag over a fresh surface, then I've got to put this ugly gray blotch on there, and that's sad to me."
Although Jones said he had no bias in what graffiti he painted over, he was impressed with the skill of some graffiti writers and artists.
Tony Jones, community service work supervisor for Douglas County, tries to keep walls free from graffiti. This tag was placed on the wall before Jones arrived yesterday.
"And these individuals that do these elaborate things," he said. "God, they're wasting their time. They're wasting their time and they're wasting my time."
Cosr thought covering up graffiti is a waste of time, too, but that it was the police's job.
"If that's what police have been brought down to, to clean graffiti off of walls, then that's their choice," he said. "They're going to do what they're going to
do, and we're going to keep doing what we're doing."
Jones cited tagging as the biggest graffiti problem in Lawrence. Gang graffiti and vandalism were around, but the tags frustrated him the most.
"The tagging is somebody who wants their name to get around. Somebody who thinks they're all that and a bag of chips. For instance, a person called drop1," Jones said. "I think he's playing a
game with me that he thinks he needs to tag the entire city of Lawrence. And I go paint over it, and he comes back and tags my gray block."
Jones doesn't really think Lawrence has a problem with graffiti because of its aggressive policy in the city code. He wants to keep up with taggers because he said he knew graffiti was bad for business and bad for the community.
"Lawrence wants to have an image as a good place to live, a good place to raise kids, a good place to shop, a good place to go to school," he said. "That's what every community wants. Well, we have it."
Jones said that most of graffiti artists were in junior high school, high school or college.
Jones said he thought writing graffiti was counter-productive to seeking a higher education. A trend exists between graffiti and the University, he said.
"When KU goes on break, it almost stops, so draw the conclusion you will," he said.
Attack prompts gunfire in Gaza Strip
Edited by Erin Chapman
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israeli tanks and troops entered a Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip early today, exchanging fire with gunmen, Palestinian security officials and witnesses said.
A 62-year-old bystander was wounded while watching the incursion into the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza from his window, Palestinians said.
The Israeli military said a routine operation was under way in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian security officials and residents said
about 10 Israeli tanks entered the refugee camp, and soldiers searched houses.
The incursion came after a settler was shot and seriously wounded yesterday by an infiltrator in the Kfar Darom settlement in Gaza. The militant Islamic Hammers took responsibility for the shooting.
Yesterday Israel said the Shin Bet security service captured all 10 members of a cell of the militant Islamic Jihad accused of attacks in the Heron area on the West Bank. Sixteen Israelis were killed in those attacks.
The Syria-based leadership of Islamic Jihad gave the cell its orders, offering money for the purchase of weapons and materials for building bombs, said security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity. The arrests of the 10 began in December and the last one was caught early yesterday in Heron, the officials said.
Later, Israeli forces arrested a militant from the Al Aqa Martyrs Brigade in Tulkarem. The Israeli military said he was involved in planning an attack on the Israeli village of Metzer on Nov. 10, in which five people were killed.
Palestinian Finance Minister Salam Fayad confirmed Tuesday that Israel transferred to the Palestinian Authority almost $60 million in taxes collected from Palestinian laborers and businesses, the single largest payment since fighting began more than two years ago.
Of the amount, about $21 million is from money owed to the Palestinians that Israel has frozen during fighting, alleging that it is used to finance attacks. Israel transfers tax money to the Palestinian Authority according to interim peace agreements.

Group aims to reduce fans on field
By Kevin Flaherty kiflahery@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An increase in fans rushing playing fields at college athletic events has led the coalition of college academic and intercollegiate athletics leaders to plan a sportsmanship summit. At the summit Feb. 20, the group will discuss fan behavior, especially the dangers of postgame celebrations.
In an NCAA press release, one of the incidents listed as a reason for calling the summit was an Ohio State University-University of Michigan football game played this season in Columbus, Ohio. In a dramatic 14-9 victory, Ohio State clinched a spot in the national championship game. After the game, Ohio State fans charged the field, many tearing up turf to sell online and hopping onto the goal posts for a more conventional celebration. The Ohio State Highway Patrol responded with pepper spray to break up the mob.
Richard Konzem, Kansas associate athletics director, said charging the field, even after an important victory was unacceptable.
"I would never condone running onto the field," Konzem said. "It creates a dangerous situation by trying to tear the goal posts down. People could get injured — people have been injured."
Brad Nachtigal, Kansas director of facilities and events, said when large numbers of fans charged the field in the past, trouble arose.
"When 7,000 fans run out, they are hard to stop," Nachtigal said. "There is a certain excitement involved at the end of the game, but we try and take safety precautions."
Nachtigal said the main goal was to keep people off the field by positioning personnel accordingly. For football and men's basketball, police force is adjusted based on attendance, Konzem said.
One of the tactics that Ohio State used to keep its goal posts standing was to grease the posts.
The NCAA expects a diverse group to attend the summit that includes athletics directors, game officials, law enforcement representatives, college and university presidents, social psychologists and mayors of cities that have encountered problems.
Mike Slive, NCAA football chairman and Southeastern Conference commissioner, said the celebrations took away from an otherwise positive atmosphere.
"We've got great tradition in college football," Slive said. "We've got great pageantry and color, and great rivalries. We need to promote those traditions."
NCAA President Miles Brand said in an NCAA press release that fans should behave better after the game.
"People may think they have a right to act this way because of the game's outcome, but they don't have permission or a right to destroy property or harm others," Brand said. "When they do, they should be held accountable for it."

Kansas looks for revenge
Jayhawks work to improve defense in rematch against Colorado tonight

Kansan satswriter
Tonight, the Kansas women's basketball team (9-10 overall, 2-6 Big 12 Conference) is out for revenge as it travels to Boulder, Colo., for its rematch with Colorado (15-4, 5-3).
On Jan. 18, Colorado stomped Kansas 70-51 at Allen Fieldhouse, showing its strength to score from both outside and inside. Junior guard Kate Fagan was the thorn in the Jayhawks' side, hitting six of eight 3-point field goals and leading the Buffaloes with 22 points.
"We are going to play better defense because that is where it starts," coach Marian Washington said. "It will be good to see Colorado again."

and who should be key in the rematch is sophomore guard Aquanita Burras. Burras was in an offensive slump in the first meeting, going 2 for 12 from the field but has averaged just over 14 points per game in the past three games.
Freshman forward Crystal Kemp will also be looking for redemption after scoring only 7 points against the Buffaloes. Since then Kemp has found her stride on offense, including scoring 19 points against Texas A&M University and a career-high 26 against Nebraska.
Sophomore guard Blair Waltz was one of the few Jayhawks who found an offensive rhythm against Colorado on Jan. 18 but knows that defense will be the key to get the team back on a winning streak.
"We have a different defensive strategy, such as with cutting into their post players passing the ball out," Waltz said.
Coming off a brutal loss to Texas Tech on Saturday. Washington thinks her team has rebounded mentally and will be ready for tonight's contest.
"Either way, Colorado is coming off a loss, so we know it is going to be a tough battle." Washington said.

Buffaloes look for a repeat victory against Jayhawks

The Colorado women's basketball team will try to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Missouri when it hosts Kansas at 8 tonight.
The Buffaloes turned in one of their worst performances of the season in the 71-52 loss to the Tigers Saturday. Colorado shot a measly 6-for-18 from the from the free-throw line and committed 20 turnovers, while getting out-rebounded 43-36.
"It's ridiculous the amount of turnovers we had," Colorado coach Ceal Barry said after the loss. "I
it recent history is any indication then the outlook should be better for the Buffaloos when the Jayhawks come to town. Colorado won the last meeting between the two teams 71-50 Jan. 18 in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks are also looking to get back on track. After winning back-to-back Big 12 Conference games, Kansas slipped up in an 84-57 loss to No. 8 Texas Tech. The Jayhawks, however, chalk the loss up as a learning experience.
don't think we are that superior depth-wise or on the board to give a team that many opportunities."
"In order to be the best, you got to play the best," Kansas freshman
For Colorado guard Kate Fagan, Kansas may be a good opponent to face after a disappointing outing at Missouri.
Erica Hallman said. "I love playing against better teams. It's just good for us. We're young and we are going to be like that in the future."
Fagan, who averages 11.7 points per game, was held scoreless by the Tigers with only one rebound, two turnovers and no assists. Fagan was on the opposite end of the spectrum in the first meeting against the Jayhawks, posting career highs with 22 points and seven rebounds. Fagan hit six 3-pointers in the game.
There was a moment Monday during halftime of the Missouri game that served as a measuring mark for Kansas basketball.

Monday might have been monumental besides victory
They should have been there, too. It was quite the magic ceremony. It was a reflective reunion for those fighting for equality despite race, gender or reputation. But more importantly it was a party promoting the success and hard work of a few that have meant so much to so many.
Yet everyone attending in Allen Fieldhouse missed it.
"It's great to come back and feel the vibe of Kansas basketball again," said one of the honorees, who's already won two world championships.
"I would like to thank the University of Kansas, the fans, all of my teammates and coach," said the other.
Only after their jerseys were revealed at halftime of the men's game Monday did people realize these two weren't your average Jayhawks.

Tamecka Dixon and Angela Aycock are women.
When fans factor in their worth in the build-up of Kansas' basketball tradition, the two are regarded as little more than
construction workers to all but the most loyal lady Jayhawk lovers. Certainly not revered as warriors such as Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning or Paul Pierce.
Sure there was the obligatory applause when Max Falkenstien read the pair's college court resumés that flowed like the Kaw River. And the roar of the
packed partisan crowd rose to the rafters when Dixon said she would trade all the glory of her professional career for four more years in Lawrence.
Dixon's declaration was honest, straight from her heart. But only truly understood when she walked out of the Fieldhouse, past the gathered media after doing a quick interview and up the winding stairs of the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center.

Moments later Aycock joined Dixon, their coach Marian Washington and Lynette Woodard — the first woman to have her Jayhawk jersey retired — in the center of all the commotion.
Aycock's vows as a novice nun kept her off the court in front of 16,300, but they couldn't keep her from cracking a slight smile among her real supporters.

Coach should listen to self enjoy the ride
Roy Williams has become more vocal as of late.
After Kansas defeated Missouri on Monday night, the Kansas basketball coach had some pretty harsh criticism for certain members of his team.
"Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Michael Lee ... I ain't saying anything positive about anybody else," Williams said, "and I'm not saying anything positive about the coach, either."
Whoa, Easy, coach.
This comes after you defeated the 21st-ranked team in the country,after you won one of the biggest rivalries in the country on national television after your team stepped up and made the plays necessary to win a tough game.
Indeed, Williams has been more emotional on the sideline this year. He has screamed and stomped and been critical of officials, his team but mostly himself.
Fans can just hope he can remember his own advice.
Enjoy the journey.
This was the theme of last year's team, but it seems little of that mind set remains. In fact, it seems the coach is enjoying little right now.
"I'm not so sure they didn't outplay us," Williams said after the Missouri game. "We had breakdowns offensively, defensively, guys not going where they were supposed to go. I feel like I'm the luckiest guy in the world right now."
You should, Roy, but not because you won the Mizzou game.
You should feel lucky to have a team with two potential All-Americans in Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison. You should feel lucky to have a team sitting atop the Big 12 conference, with the potential to stage another run to the Final Four in March. You should feel lucky to coach in a building filled with tradition in a town which you are adored.
But, most of all, you should feel lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy this journey with your players.
If you listen to no one else, listen to yourself.
"The biggest thing now is I want the team to enjoy what they've already accomplished and enjoy the journey as we go along." Williams said before the NCAA Tournament last year. "It sounds pretty corn."
No, coach. Actually, that doesn't sound corny at all.

March Madness begins for Aggies; team hopeful for postseason play
By Dallas Ship The Battalion via U-wire Texas ARM University
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Forget March Madness. It's barely February, and the Texas A&M men's basketball team and its fans are talking about the possibility of the Aggies making the National Invitation Tournament. Some of the more optimistic are even discussing the possibility of getting a bid — dare it be said — to the NCAA tournament.
The 1986-1987 season was A&M's most recent trip to the NCAA tournament.
Melvin Watkins, Texas A&M coach, and his staff have assembled a team this year that is nothing short of spectacular, considering the state of the program when Watkins arrived four years ago.
Watkins may have been treading water in his first four seasons, but this year he could be on to
ATM
something. Watkins has recruited players from around the nation and even the world to bring in fresh, new talent to play in a state and at a school that revolves around football. That new talent has given the Aggies a chance to do something they haven't done in a long time win.
The biggest recent recruit, freshman forward Antoine Wright, has lifted much of the burden off the shoulders of senior guard Bernard King, who in his first three years at A&M single-handedly carried the load for the Aggies.
man of the Week this week for the third time this season, has turned in six double-doubles as a freshman and is among the top five in the conference in defensive rebounds and 3-pointers.
Wright, who was named Big 12 Fresh-
Even Watkins admits that he has discussed the possibility of the postseason with his team, something he hasn't been able to do with any of his previous A&M squads.
["Postseason] is something we talk about, but we don't consume ourselves with it," Watkins said. "That's when you lose focus on what you have to get done."
The Aggies are focused, and they know what they have to get done.
It may not be March Madness yet, but there is a February Frenzy in College Station, and for the first time in a long time, people aren't ready to talk about Aggie baseball just yet.
KANSAS BASEBALL Ryan Baty named baseball's national hitter of the week
Kansas left fielder Rvan Baty was named NCAA baseball's national hitter of the week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association for the period ending Feb.2.
The junior batted.619 (13-for-21) in Kansas' season-opening series at the University of Hawai'i-Hilo.
While in Hawaii, Baty collected base hits in seven-straight at-bats. In the series, Baty led the Jayhawks in hits, runs, doubles, home runs, RBI, walks and hitting percentage. Baty was one of two Kansas players who collected base hits in all six games, and the only Jayhawk to collect a pair of three-hit games.
Baty's biggest hit of the series came in the first game of the series, as his two run home run to left-center in the seventh inning erased a 6-4 Kansas deficit and pushed the game to extra innings. Kansas eventually lost the contest 8-7 in the bottom of the ninth.
KANSAS BASKETBALL
Nick Collison receives Big 12 Player of the Week
Kansas forward Nick Collison was chosen as the Big 12 Player of the Week for his efforts in leading Kansas to a 2-0
record last week.
Collison ranked second on the team in scoring last week with 19.0 points per game, and he led Kansas with 16 rebounds per contest. He shot 87.5 percent from the foul line in Kansas' victories over Texas and Nebraska.
The Iowa Falls, Iowa senior scored 24 points and grabbed a career-high and Big 12-record 23 rebounds against Texas. It was the most rebounds by a Jayhawk since 1970. He also surpassed Colorado's Jamahl Mosely's 22 rebounds against Missouri on Jan. 10, 2001.
Collison now leads Kansas in scoring with 19.1 points per game and rebounding with nine rebounds per game. He is ranked fifth on Kansas' alltime scoring list, fourth on the all-time rebounds list and fourth on the all-time blocks list.
This makes the fourth time that Collison has earned the conference player of the week honor. He is tied with former Jayhawks Drew Gooden and Raef LaFrentz and Texas Tech's Cory Carr for second most times honored. Iowa State's Marcus Fizer leads all players with being named player of the week six times.
Collison, Hinrich named to Wooden top candidates list Nick Collison senior forward and
Kirk Hinrich, senior guard, have been named to the John R. Wooden Midseason Top 30 Candidates list. The Wooden award, presented by the Los Angeles Athletic Club, goes to the best men's college basketball player in the nation.
Collison is averaging 19.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. He also had 23 rebounds — his career-high — against third-ranked Texas on Jan. 27.
Hinrich is averaging 17.6 points a game and has 74 assists and 40 steals on the season.
In 17 of 21 games this year, either Hinrich or Collison has led the Jayhawks in scoring.
The list will be trimmed from 30 to about 15 later in the season; players can still be added to the list before the committee releases the official ballot in early March. Personal statistics, team record and progress towards graduation are the criteria for the award. The athletic club will honor the winner on April 15.
Other Big 12 players on the list are: Andre Emmett, Texas Tech guard, T.J. Ford, Texas guard, and Hollis Price, Oklahoma guard.
Kansas and Arizona are the only schools with more than one player; Jason Gardner and Luke Walton represent Arizona. Walton was last year's Wooden recipient.

Brett to limit role with Royals
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. George Brett played his entire Hall of Fame career with the Kansas City Royals — but that was back when they were annual contenders.
Now, with the Royals mired below. 500 year after year, Brett can't say he'd stay if he were still playing.
"I can't see myself staying in Kansas City as a player," he told The Kansas City Star. "Not now. It's all changed. I would sign one-year contracts."
"And I would ask myself, 'Do we have a chance to win in the next two or three years?' Right now, looking at the Royals, I would have to say 'No.'
Brett played under founding owner Ewing Kauffman, who wasn't shy about spending money
"Really, how can you compete when somebody is spending 80 or 90 million more? The only thing you can do is catch lightning in a bottle like Oakland or Minnesota. We haven't caught lightning in a bottle."
George Brett former Royals player
to keep stars in Kansas City.
The Royals' current owner, David Glass, has let many of the team's promising players get away through free agency or trades.
"Really, how can you compete when somebody is spending 80 or
90 million more?" said Brett, who was part of a group that made an unsuccessful attempt to buy the Royals after Kauffman's death. "The only thing you can do is catch lightning in a bottle like Oakland or Minnesota. We haven't caught lightning in a bottle."
Brett, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999, played 21 seasons for the Royals before retiring in 1993. He is still listed as the team's vice president of baseball operations, a position he has held since his retirement.
But with three baseball-age sons and three of his own businesses to run, his involvement with the team is increasingly limited.
"My life has changed, man," he said. "It's about my sons now. I want to see them play ball. I need to slow down."
Brett plans to attend spring training for only 10 days or so, and he won't even be able to continue his tradition of throwing batting practice for the team.
"I can't throw," he said. "I can't even sleep on my right shoulder. It just aches all the time. I need to get that thing checked out."
Brett, a California native, now lives in Mission Hills.
"I love Kansas City," he said. "I really do. The people here are genuinely nice. That's why I made this my home for 30 years."
But he also said that he didn't know whether he'd stay in the city where he won batting titles in three decades (1976, 1980 and 1990) and a World Series title in 1985.
"Who knows where I'll be in 10 years? I might be in California or Florida," he said. "I have no idea."
Eddie Sutton to coach 1,000th game
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. — The first time Eddie Sutton stepped on a basketball court as a Division I head coach, Richard Nixon was in his first year as president.
The year was 1969 and Sutton was at Creighton. That was 999 games ago. Tonight he will coach his 1,000th game when his 11thranked Oklahoma State Cowboys play Kansas State.
"It doesn't seem possible, but I guess I've been around a long time," Sutton said.
That he has. Sutton, who turns 67 in March, is in his 33rd season
as a Division I coach. He spent five years at Creighton, then moved on to Arkansas, where during his 11 seasons he turned the Razorbacks into a force in the Southwest Conference.
From Arkansas it was on to Kentucky. He won 32 games in his first season with the Wildcats, but stepped down after just four years amid a messy NCAA investigation that resulted in the school being placed on probation for recruiting violations.
Sutton off the sidelines for one year after he left Kentucky, returning to his alma mater in 1990 when Oklahoma State
offered him the job.
He won his first game as a Division I coach — Creighton beat Wisconsin-Oshkosh 84-64 — and hasn't stopped. He is 719-280 entering tonight's game, with one losing season in his first 32.
Sutton has taken two schools Arkansas and Oklahoma State, to the Final Four and was the first coach to take four schools to the NCAA tournament.
He has transformed Oklahoma State's program. Sutton has taken the Cowboys (17-2, 6-1 G1 12) to the NCAA tournament 10 times; they had gone just twice in the previous 31 seasons.
"He's withstood the test of time and I think has just gotten better and better," Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy said recently. "He's a better coach now than he has ever been, and I don't think you can say that about a lot of people."
He doesn't expect many of today's coaches to stick around long enough to reach similar milestones.
"I'll say this again. I don't think there'll be as many young coaches who coach as long as some of us have, for a lot of reasons," he said.
"But somehow we've been able to hang in there. As long as my health is good, I'll probably coach a little bit longer."
Performance of team, not milestone, concern for Texas Tech coach
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — Bob Knight is concerned about needing another try for his 800th career win. But not because of the milestone.
Knight. Texas Tech coach.
maintains the big number only proves that he's coached a long time, 37 seasons, and doesn't grab his attention. The recent inconsistent performance
F
of his Texas Tech team has, and
he is not happy about it.
After a 10-1 start, the Red Raiders (12-5) have lost four of six games since Big 12 play began. Their 64-59 loss Saturday at Texas A&M ruined Knight's first shot at becoming just the fourth men's basketball coach to win 800 games.
Texas Tech will be at home tonight to play Nebraska (9-11, 1-6 Big 12), giving Knight a chance to get his latest milestone win in front of an arena full of Red Raiders fans.
"Our team has had a tremendous slippage from practice to play in the conference season thus far," Knight said. "That slippage has occurred here as well as on the road. It has nothing to do with where we've played."
Only Dean Smith of North
Carolina (879), Adolph Rupp of Kentucky (876) and Mount St. Mary's Jim Phelan (827) have won more than 800 games. With Phelan set to retire after this season, Knight (799-303) would become the active leader.
Knight got his 100th victory
Feb. 27, 1971, at Army, where he began his career in 1965. He got Nos. 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700, along with his three national championships, while at
Indiana from 1972-2000.
The coach has never needed more than two tries to reach one of the century milestones.
Knight notched his 100th, 200th and 500th wins on his teams' first tries; Nos. 300, 400, 600 and 700 came on his teams' second effort.
The Red Raiders were off to an incredible start this season, but have struggled since conference play began last month. Tech has fallen behind early in all six Big 12 games and had to claw its way back into games.
There have been good stretches and bad stretches of play along the way, Knight said.
"We just are not able to put enough of really good play together or get enough of it into a game to make it possible for us to win right now," Knight said.

You're smart, and getting smarter. Exercise your body as well as your brain, and end up with more energy than when you started. Begin by signing up with a good coach or guru.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 9.
You're learning quickly, but don't get cocky. You're not ready to challenge the champion yet, so don't tick off him or her. Be cool.
Taurus (April20-May20). Today is a 5.
You're slow to anger, and sometimes slow to take action — which is perfect for you. But if there's been a burr under your saddle for a while, let somebody know.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is an 8.
A friend from far away can help you make money, so don't spend the whole time gossiping. Ask what he or she is doing effectively, and apply it to your situation.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
Review your assets and liabilities,
and reassess your net worth. Odds are good it's greater than you thought, and it could soon get even greater. More is better.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8.
You like to keep up with the latest styles, and that can get expensive.
You may have to moonlight to make it happen. But, hey, that's doable.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
Don't cry if something at home gets broken or bent beyond repair. It could be the opportunity to get that new one you've been wanting.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 9.
Your creativity is boundless today.
You're good, and you're also inspired. Accept the encouragement, and get started on your greatest achievement to date.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today it is 5.
Don't let yourself become enraged by a co-worker's insensitivity.
Instead, use the energy to plow through a tough job.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 9.
You're ready to take action, and the time is finally right. Blast ahead, using what you've recently learned. You can win!
Capricorn(Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a5.
Something you've been putting up with at home could be getting to be too much trouble. Can you fix it yourself? Maybe, if that's what you like to do. Otherwise, pay.
Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb. 18). Today is an 8.
A friend's crazy idea, plus your technical skill, could lead to a brilliant advancement. There's strength in diversity.
Pisces(Feb.19-March20).Today is a5.
You've done the work, so you should get the pay.Don't behesy.Ask for what you have coming.The check-signer is in a generous mood.

LeBron James contests ruling
The Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — LeBron James' attorney asked a court yesterday to block a ruling that barred the basketball high school superstar from playing for the rest of the season.
The 6-foot-8 senior, expected to be the No.1 pick in this year's NBA draft, did nothing wrong when he accepted two sports jerseys, attorney Fred Nance said in documents filed in Summit County Common Pleas Court.
"All LeBron did was receive a
gift from a friend as congratulations for his academic achievements," Nance said. "Had LeBron wished to capitalize on his fame, the recompense could be in the millions of dollars."
Judge James Williams set a hearing for Wednesday morning. Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary, which is No.1 in the latest USA Today rankings for the fourth straight week, next plays in the Isles Prime Time Shootout in Trenton, N.J., this weekend.
James was declared ineligible on Friday by Commissioner Clair
Muscaro of the Ohio High School Athletic Association for accepting the jerseys worth a combined $845 from a clothing store in Cleveland.
The OHSAA found that the store gave James the Gale Sayers and Wes Unseld "throwback" jerseys for free, in exchange for James posing for pictures to be displayed on its walls.
Muscaro ruled that James broke an amateur bylaw "by capitalizing on athletic fame by receiving money or gifts of monetary value."
Nance said in the court filing that James returned the jerseys when he learned that the gift was controversial and might threaten his amateur status.
James sat out the first game of his career Sunday. The Fighting Irish have four games left before the state playoffs.
If the court blocks the ruling. James would be cleared to play, pending an appeal by the OHSAA.
James was expected to appeal his suspension to the athletic association.
Detroit Lions hire former 49ers coach
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Steve Mariucci was hired as coach of the Detroit Lions yesterday, taking over one of the NFLs worst teams less than three weeks after his dismissal by the 49ers.
Mariucci, born and raised in Iron Mountain, Mich., signed a contract with the Lions and will be formally introduced at a news conference today, team spokesman Bill Keenist said.
Fired by the San Francisco 49ers after six seasons, Mariucci becomes the Lions fourth coach in four seasons. He replaces Marty Mornhinweg, who was fired last week after the Lions went 3-13. In two seasons, Mornhinweg was 5-27 — the worst two-year mark in team history.
Mariucci was 60-43 with the 49ers and coached them to the playoffs four times. The 49ers were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs this season, losing to Tampa Bay 31-6.
Mariucci clashed with 49ers owner John York and was dismissed three days after the loss to the Buccaneers on Jan. 12. His postseason record was 3-4 — the
Lions have just one playoff victory since winning the NFL title in 1957.
Mariucci presided over a remarkably brief rebuilding period in San Francisco, but it wasn't enough to save his job even with a year left on his contract.
LAKERS
He was the loser in a battle of wills featuring York, general manager Terry Donahue and Hall of Fame coach-turned-adviser Bill Walsh — none of whom was around when Mariucci was hired in 1997.
The reasons for Mariucci's departure were murky — perhaps by design for an organization that apparently felt Mariucci wasn't the man to lead the young, talented team he helped to build from scratch.
Mariucci's flirtations with other jobs in the last offseason also didn't engender feelings of loyalty from York.
"I think it'll be good. Good for him, because he will be in a situation where he's actually wanted and appreciated," Lions defensive end Robert Porcher said yes-
terday. "I think it'll be good from a team standpoint because now our general manager gets the guy that he's always wanted.
"And I think from the players'
standpoint, it'll be excellent because he brings in that instant credibility with his winning record in San Francisco."
This season, San Francisco went 10-6 and reclaimed the NFC West title before making the second-biggest comeback in NFL playoff history to beat the New York Giants 39-58.
Mariucci repeatedly said he wanted to keep his family in the San Francisco Bay area, and he would be willing to take a minimal raise or even coach the final year of his contract without an extension.
He will be about 90 miles away from best friend Tom Izzo, Michigan State's basketball coach. Mariucci and Izzo grew up
together and attended Northern Michigan.
Mariucci has been Detroit's leading candidate since the Lions fired Mornhinweg. On Wednesday night and Thursday, Mariucci became the only coach to have an in-person interview with the Lions.
Lions chief executive Matt Millen never publicly named any other candidate for the job but said the Lions would do their best to comply with the NFL's policy of interviewing at least one minority candidate.
Mariucci agent Gary O'Hagan, also agent for former Minnesota coach Dennis Green, refused to comment on numerous reports that Green refused to interview with the Lions because they appeared to have their sights set only on Mariucci.
Attorneys Johnnie Cochran and Cyrus Mehri, leaders of a campaign for more minority hiring in the NFL, said in a Monday statement: "The Lions have seriously threatened to undermine and potentially violate the new NFL minority hiring policy approved by team owners in December.
women will be inspired and challenge themselves as well as others to not limit themselves but strive for excellence in all things," Aycock said in a prepared statement.
Samuelson
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
That's the kind of thing that is said when a celebration transcends the basketball court.
Monday's magnificent meeting between past players was about dreams, goals and success — even if those treasures are measured greater for members of the other gender.
"A lot of times you don't see many women getting their numbers retired in college," said freshman Crystal Kemp, a forward from Topeka who came to play for Kansas in part because of the tradition players such as Aycock and Dixon built. "The fact that those two are getting them back-to-back is awesome. It's a way for me and my teammates to see what we are trying to do for the history of this team."
Kansas women's basketball right now has no tradition, nor the support of a successful team — because they are not successful as are the men.
That's the kev.
But even when they were just three years ago, few fans found their way to the Fieldhouse for games.
When Aycock and Dixon teamed for two seasons from 1993 to 1995, they guided Kansas to back-to-back 20-victory seasons — a benchmark Washington would accomplish in 11 straight seasons.
Those teams would have never thought that this year's squad, which is 9-10 heading into tonight's game in Colorado, could ever be fighting through its third-straight losing season.
That's why Monday was so important, said the legendary Woodard — who was and is to women's basketball what Michael Jordan was and is to men's.
"I keep telling this young team that there's enough room for all of them to be up there," Woodard said of them getting their jerseys retired. "Each day they're growing and they're going to see the possibilities. Not just hearing about me, they saw it first hand here tonight."
That's what Washington wanted. That's why she set up the ceremony at a men's game. To pay the kind of homage befitting to two of her greatest players.
"That's what it's all about," Washington said. "When I first shared this moment with Angela and told her that her number was going to be retired, she said, 'Coach I don't deserve it.' I said, 'You absolutely do.'"
"But the point is it goes beyond Angela, it reaches beyond Tamecka, it's reached out beyond Lynette Woodard," Washington said.
"It's about having an opportunity for women, especially female athletes, to be able to come to this arena and to know that, with hard work and commitment, anything is possible."
As the final seconds ticked off of Kansas' 76-70 victory against rival Missouri, there standing among the student faithful was a group of Kansas women's basketball players cheering wildly.
Hopefully on Monday they realized what the real monumental victory was.

International Experience Valuable in Job Market
There are a growing number of surveys, articles and reports demonstrating the importance for students to have an international component to their education. These reports indicate that many businesses are expanding internationally, and that the percent of jobs that require international and language training will continue to grow over the coming years.
A Cambrian College guide to gaining international experience estimates that one out of every three jobs will require international experience within the next decade. It points to country-to-country trade agreements, better access to information (via the Internet, for example) and increased mobility between countries as a few of the reasons for the increase. Smart Pros, a website dedicated to professional education for accounting and engineering professionals, reported a survey that revealed that "56 percent of [chief financial officers] polled said international experience will be at least somewhat necessary for accounting and finance professional five years from now." The American Council on Education's International Initiatives Program has compiled results from a series of
surveys that indicate a public "increasingly informed...and interested in what happens beyond U.S. borders." And The Internationalization of U.S. Higher Education Preliminary Status Report 2000 reports that the number of federal agencies that require foreign language competence has risen from 19 agencies in 1985 to 67 in 2000. The report also says that while it is difficult to determine the exact demand for international experience in the private sector, evidence for this can be found in the more than 20,000 language proficiency tests administered for business from 1992 to 1997.
Many of the articles also stress that it is not only the specific international or language training itself that is important. The articles indicate that businesses view a well-rounded knowledge about cultures and customs abroad to be equally or even more valuable than knowledge of specific languages, business practices, marketing skills, and international finance. Furthermore, the articles indicate that international experience demonstrates independence, adaptability, and a willingness to try new things, all valuable skills in the eyes of many employers.
letter from the editor
Dear Jayhawk,
Welcome back from winter break! If you are tired of trudging around campus in the cold weather, why not think about summer instead? This summer KU will offer students the opportunity to study abroad on 30 summer programs in 19 countries. Where will you go?
Summer is a great time to study abroad. For some students it is the best way to fit study abroad into their academic plan, or the only time they can afford to take off from work or other extracurricular activities. For others it's a great opportunity to earn additional credit hours, improve language skills, or pursue a specific academic interest in depth.
Now is the time to apply. Admissions for most summer programs are done on a rolling basis, so it is important to apply early. Even though the focus of this edition of Jayhawks Abroad is our summer programs, now is also the time to apply for fall and academic year abroad programs. Applications for all summer, fall and academic year programs are due March 1.
For more information about any of our programs, feel free to stop by the resource library anytime between 8:00 and 5:00. Monday-Friday. The resource library, located in 109 Lippincott, is staffed with Peer Advisors who can answer your questions and help you discover your options. You can also find information and applications on the web at www.ku.edu/-osa.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
Stacie Vincent

THE RIGHT DECISION
When I first decided that I wanted to study abroad, Mexico was not the first country that came to mind. I knew that I
SLI Puebla student enjoy a sunny day at the University, (submitted by Erin Eastwood Puebla, Mexico)
wanted to learn Spanish and experience a new culture, but for some reason, Mexico did not catch my eye. Looking back now,
I wonder why I thought that way. Maybe it was because Mexico is so close; maybe it didn't seem like much of a change. Maybe Mexico isn't presented to us as exotic or romantic as say Spain or other countries in Europe. In the end, I chose the Puebla program because it would work best for me academically.
As soon as I arrived, I knew I had made the right decision in coming to Mexico. My family stay was great. I would have to say that living with a family may be the best way to go when studying abroad. My family would cook for me so that I could try the traditional Mexican cuisine, which by the way, is pretty tasty. The family I stayed with had a daughter who went to the university I was attending, so I was able to meet new people very easily. Her friends introduced me to the vast array of discos that exist in Puebla. I also got to see the many other, and probably
more interesting, sides of Puebla.
Our group took many trips to all of the cultural sites in town. We were given the opportunity to learn the salsa, learn to cook, or volunteer at a children's home. On the weekends we were able to explore the rest of the country by going on planned excursions or just creating a trip of our own. I had the time of my life doing all of these new things.
What I experienced in Puebla taught me that you really must experience something first hand to have a good understanding for it. How people or places are represented to us at home may be extremely different when seeing them in real life. Flying home to Kansas after my sixth week in Puebla, Mexico, I returned with new friends, better Spanish skills, and a new life experience that I will take with me on my future journeys.
Who Studies Abroad? Profile of a KU Summer Program Alum
Name: Andrew Bailey
Home Town: Little Rock, Arkansas
Level and Major: Senior, Political Science Study Abroad Programs: Andrew studied on two consecutive 2-week programs in the summer 2002 - European Studies in Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France, followed by European Studies in Budapest, Hungary and Vienna, Austria. The Brussels-Paris program was led by Dr. Carl Strikwerda, Associate Dean of CLAS and Professor of History. TheBudapest-Hungary program was led by Dr.Michael Mosser, Office of International Programs.
Andrew, we know your major and what programs you participated in, but tell us something about yourself. For instance, what is one of your favorite passtimes? I enjoy following my favorite sports teams and athletes: KU Basketball, Kansas City Chiefs Football, Andy Roddick (tennis), Tiger Woods (golf), and the U.S.
national soccer team.
Do you have a particular career in mind? I hope to be a transactional attorney. In pursuit of this goal I will be attending Columbia Law School next fall.
Had you ever traveled abroad before this program?
Nope,first time.
Tell us something that surprised you about your experience abroad.
I was surprised by how receptive people were to Americans given growing political differences between the U.S. and Europe.
What was the most challenging aspect of the program for you, academic or otherwise? Language barriers were by far the most challenging aspect of the trip. Even though many people spoke English, it was still difficult to communicate and
find proper directions.
What did you enjoy the most about your experience?
Having the opportunity to see firsthand the many things I have read about since being a child, including incredible museums like the Louvre and famous monuments like the Eiffel Tower.
Do you have any future plans (or dreams) for international activities, in Europe or elsewhere?
Yes, I'm actually in London currently, where I plan to find a job and work for the next six months prior to attending law school. Traveling on a KU Study Abroad program gave me the necessary confidence to take a step like this and I'm so excited for it.

MEMORIES OF DORM LIFE IN PARIS
by Stephanie Korte SLI Paris 2002
About four weeks into our trip, after spending two weeks in the dorms and settling in nicely we were rudely awakened one morning. There were loud voices and heavy footsteps, accompanied by the click, click, click of wheeled suitcases being pulled along the tile floor of the long hallways. This evolved into what seemed incessant knocking on doors and more voices, which after some time, trying to bury my head in my pillow, I decided were speaking German.
Finally, I gave up on sleep and headed to the showers. After getting ready I took my usual route through the courtyard and walked into a large group comprised of strawberry blond girls and bleach-blond guys. They had spread themselves out, filling the tables and covering the stairways, each, it seemed, holding a lit cigarette as their instructor shouted out numbers in French. A bit strange, I thought, but made my way through the group and out the front door to run
errands before class. My initial irritation at having been woken up so early was forgotten...until the next morning.
The weather in Paris, and all of France for that matter, was so nice that I had accustomed myself to sleeping with my windows open wide to the courtyard every night, to let a cool evening breeze into my otherwise un-air-conditioned room. But this next morning I was again awakened by loud voices pouring broken French through my window.
After a couple days of this, almost everyone in the dorms (or at least the Americans) was very rapidly losing patience with our new neighbors. They had disrupted the otherwise normal quiet of our cozy French residence hall!
One day, while going to visit one of my friends, I ran into one of the young German boys. He invited my friend and I to join a few others in the hall's lounge that evening. We were hesitant to accept at first, thinking only of how we would rather strangle them for making so much noise all the time. But our curiosity got the better of us. That night we wandered into the lounge to see many strange new faces. The room became suddenly very quiet and awkward. Luckily, the young seventeen year old who had invited us jumped up and introduced us. It turned
out that most of them knew little to no English and even less French so communicating became somewhat of a game of Pictionary—each of us trying desperately to write out or draw things that we couldn't seem to convey through speech. Marcus, the seventeen year old and youngest member of the group from Germany, was the most fluent in English and served as translator most of the time.
They were very excited to hear us speak English and had many questions for us. Some tried to teach us German words and phrases, laughing at our pronunciation. And we tried to teach them some French and explain the lyrics to an Eminem song that they loved but didn't fully understand.
We met up in the lounge a few more times and now struggled to have conversations when passing each other in the halls. The morning routine continued. Each day they woke me an hour before I wanted to get up. They took their lessons in the courtyard, with loud voices echoing off the walls, chanting French numbers and words in unison. Sometimes I could even pick out the particular voice of one of my new friends. But having put names and faces to the voices took the irritation out of my mornings.

SUMMER STUDY ABROAD IN FRANCE
The European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France
This summer KU will offer two study abroad opportunities for students wishing to broaden their understanding of French language, culture and civilization. The Summer Language Institute in Paris provides intermediate or advanced students of French the opportunity for students to live and study in the "city of lights" for the summer. Program participants spend the first 11-12 days traveling as a group through Normandy, Touraine, and Poitou in order to become acquainted with three important regions of France and with different styles of French art, culture, and architecture. Students then spend the month of July studying at L'Étoile: Centre de Langue et Vie Françaises, located in the heart of Paris. Classes are taught by highly qualified native French instructors who specialize in teaching French as a foreign language. The program is open to students who have had two semesters of college-level French. Students will receive six hours of intermediate or advanced French credit upon completion of the program.
Advanced French Studies in Strasbourg, France is an intensive summer language institute for students who have completed at least six semesters of college-level French. The program begins with a five-day visit to Paris, where students will have the opportunity to visit many of the major monuments and museums. The stay in Paris is followed by a month of intensive study and site visits in and around the cosmopolitan city of Strasbourg, capital of the Alsace region and seat of the Council of Europe and of the European Parliament. In Strasbourg, students will attend language courses and seminars taught by native French instructors as well as the KU faculty instructor. Seminartopics include Europe and the EU, French regional history (Strasbourg and Alsace), Art History, Francophone literature, French Media and Contemporary French Civilization.
Students will receive six hours of French credit for this program as well.
For students who want to study something other than French, there are several programs located in Paris that are taught in English. The European Business Studies program offers students the opportunity to spend the summer in Paris studying at NEGOCIA, the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry School of Business. Participants will earn six hours of Business or European Studies credit. European Studies in Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France is an intensive two-week seminar designed to give students a first-hand view of the institutions and policies that are molding Europe today as well as a look at the cultural heritage that identifies the two cities. The program can be combined with the European Studies Institute in Budapest, Hungary and Vienna, Austria. 4th year Architecture students also have the opportunity to participate in an Architecture program in Paris, France.

Interview With An Expert: One Student's Experience in Eutin, Germany
Tim Schmitt, Gayle Haley, and Geoff Coburn
pose in front of Neuschwanstein Castle
(submitted by Tim Schmitt, SI Eutin 02)
Geoff Coburn participated in the Summer Language Institute in Eutin, Germany in the summer of 2002. In a recent interview, he shared his study abroad experience with us.
Why did you decide to go on the Summer Institute in Eutin? Did you consider other study abroad programs?
Being a German major made my decision to go to Eutin easy. I was not comfortable with going for an entire semester, so the Summer Institute fit perfectly.
What fears or uncertainties did you have before you left? How did you deal with them while abroad?
This was the first time I'd ever been overseas. So naturally, I had many fears. Mostly, I worried about my flight and arrival. But once I was there, my worries soon faded.
How would you compare the experience of studying German abroad versus taking German classes on the Lawrence campus?
There really is no comparison. Although I feel the language departments at KU do a great job of teaching us what we need to know, the first-hand experience is truly the best way to study. The total immersion in the language and the culture gave me an understanding I could never have hoped for only taking classes.
What was the experience of living with a host family like?
To me, living with the family was the best part. They taught me the really important things of the culture. The relationship I shared, and still share, with them made the experience truly wonderful.
What surprised you most about your study abroad experience?
The most surprising thing was how easy it was. I doubted at first I would be able to do it, but in the end I laughed at how silly my worries had been.
If you could re-live your experience, what would you do differently?
Nothing. I enjoyed every aspect of my trip.
What was the hardest thing about your study abroad experience?
Leaving my host family. I really felt like part of the family by the time I left. I even miss the family dog. But I continue to keep in touch with them, which makes it easier.
Is your life any different, or do you see things differently now that you are back? I realize how strange our own culture is. I have to laugh sometimes when I think of what my host sister would think of some of the things we say or do.
What did you get out of your program that you value most?
Friendships--with students, teachers and my host family.
Is there anything else that you would like to tell other students about your experience, or about the experience of study abroad as a whole?
Now is the time to take advantage of these programs. The value for the dollar is unmatched. Everyone should do this!
Sister City Relationship enhances German Summer Language Institute
For seventeen years, Professor Frank Baron led students to Eutin, Germany for a Summer Language Institute. Eutin may not be a city that many Americans have heard of, but it is a city with a special tie to Lawrence and the University of Kansas. Since 1989, Lawrence and Eutin have been sister cities. Professor Baron says, "I believe strongly that the sister-city connections have made an ideal context for the students to live in. They are always welcomed to homes, schools, and offices of the city as if they were closely linked to Eutin--even though we always have students who have never been to Lawrence." Former student participant Matt Roth also said, "The sister-city relationship and the community spirit in Eutin created a friendly atmosphere and made us feel at home."
The summer of 2002 was Professor Baron's last trip to Eutin as director of the Summer Language Institute. The city of Eutin recognized Dr. Baron's contributions to the sister city partnership and as an educator at a German-American evening on June 26. An article in a local newspaper covering the event quoted the municipal politicians as saying that, "In his low-key, modest and yet determined manner of supervision of his charges and because of his constantly grateful interaction with Eutiners, he found great acceptance here and won many friends." Professor Baron helped establish the sister-city relationship, though he's quick to point out that "it wasn't a single person. It's something
that evolved."
The University of Kansas has maintained an intermediate-level summer language program in the northern German city since 1966 as a compliment to the advanced language program in Holzkirchen in southern Germany. The sister city partnership as well as the longevity of the program has been beneficial for students." What we offer is special," Professor Baron says, "because they live in homes of families who've had students before or heard about it. The families enjoy it. Some of them have been to Lawrence."
Though Professor Baron is retiring as director of the Eutin program, the program will continue under the leadership of Professor Arne Koch. The Summer
Language Institute is for students who have completed at least two college semesters of German, or the equivalent. Participants earn nine hours of academic credit from KU in German language. While in Eutin students live with host families, take classes, and make study trips to local sites, including "a lot of cities Americans don't see," says Professor Baron. In addition to the six-week stay in Eutin, the program offers a concluding tour of other German and Austrian cities, including Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg and Munich.

SUMMER IN MOROCCO
4.
by Danielle Brunin SLI Morocco 2002
19
This past summer, I had the opportunity to study at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco through Study Abroad. This was a monumental event for me because I had always said that when I traveled the world, I was going to visit Africa before I visited Europe. With the exception of changing planes in Paris, I fulfilled my goal. Morocco, or Al Maghreb in Arabic means "Westernmost" because it sits on the northwest coast of the African continent, just south of Spain and thus, is the Western most point of the region collectively described as the Middle East. Although Arabic is the official language, French as well as Berber are spoken in Morocco. This point is important because Al Akhawayn University is the only English speaking University in Morocco.
Al Akhawayn offers intensive language and culture programs during the summer and when they mean intensive, they mean intensive! However, anyone who is serious about learning the Arabic language can take full advantage of the intensive nature of the programs. I traveled with my Arabic teacher from here at KU, Dr. Naima Omar, whom I had studied with for two years, as well as two other students. One other student and I participated in the four-week program, while the remaining student participated in the eight-week program. We all
BAB AL DJDID (submitted by Daniello Brunin SI Morocco 02)
studied Arabic, but took different culture courses. Even though I was only in Morocco for four weeks, I feel that my Arabic improved dramatically. My Arabic professors were Moroccan and were absolutely amazing! They were some of the most kind as well as knowledgeable people that I have ever met.
addition to the twice a week meetings, our class traveled every weekend. The class travels to every major city as well as important regions such as the Sahara desert. It is an excellent way to see the country, and learn about culture, language, and a variety of other subjects such as anthropology. I also was able to integrate my Arabic skills into this class because a big component of traveling in this course was interacting with the
The other course that I took was Contemporary North African culture. The best part of this course was that in
Moroccan people. My absolute favorite aspect of this interaction was at the various markets where you haggle for everything. It is an excellent way to learn the language and understand different aspects of the culture that you cannot learn in a textbook.
The single most often asked question when I tell people that I was in North Africa is, "How do they treat Americans?" My answer is: extremely well. I have not met so many kind and hospitable people in one place. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but in general, the hospitality in Morocco is unimaginable. For instance, every carpet shop you will go to will invite you to partake in Moroccan tea. A fact that is surprising to many Americans is that Moroccans distinguish very strongly between the actions of the U.S. government and the American people. For example, there may be a protest against U.S. foreign policy, but they are not protesting against American people, and would not bother an American walking down the street for being from the United States. Overall, I felt very safe and secure in Morocco and would not let fear prevent me from going to Morocco. Use common sense, be culturally sensitive, and treat others with the same respect that you would expect to receive, and you will have no problems. If you need advice, do not hesitate to contact me!

Swindling of sorority suspected
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Lawrence police say a former treasurer of the corporation board for the Xi chapter of Sigma Kappa sorority at the University of Kansas is suspected of embezzling as much as $61,110 from the board's bank account.
Lt. David Cobb of the Lawrence Police Department said unexplained expenses were found in the chapter's records, and personal items such as phone bills and credit
card bills had been paid out of the chapter account. The purchases were made during a two-year period, from Nov 5, 2000, through Nov 11, 2002. Investigators were still compiling a list of items that were purchased without authorization, Cobb said.
The 33-year-old Lawrence woman was asked by the Sigma Kappa Corporation Board to turn in the chapter's financial records for an accountant to review at a board meeting Nov. 11, Cobb said, and the woman did not hand over the books immediately. She told board members that there might be some accounts
that were not properly taken care of.
The woman said she might owe the chapter some money, Cobb said.
The president of the corporation board filed a report with the Lawrence Police Department on Jan. 31. Someone at the president's home said she was unavailable for comment.
Corporation board treasurer Ruth Rader said she was unsure whether the board looked over its financial records each year, but it would probably become routine in the future.
Rader said the corporation board of Xi
chapter was responsible for maintaining the physical structure of the sorority house. She said sorority members paid the corporation board for rent and meals, and any losses would not affect women living in the house.
"We have already sent out contracts for next year and the rent was not raised," Rader said.
The board has seven alumnae members, who are elected to two-year terms by the women of the chapter.
Police are following up with an investigation and expect to conduct an interview with the suspect, Cobb said.
Rader was unsure when the investigation would be complete.
"There are a few more things they need to look into, and we are trying to do that in a timely manner," she said.
Amy Potter, Xi chapter president and Kansan staff writer, said it was inappropriate to discuss an unfinished investigation.
"Our priority is to safeguard the women of the chapter, which we are doing." Potter said.

Race in admissions
KU students evaluate affirmative action in college admissions
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Current events have caused student groups at the University of Kansas to evaluate the issue of affirmative action and race as a factor for admissions.
In January the Bush administration filed a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court that opposed race as a factor in college admissions. Bush's brief addressed two cases filed by three former applicants to the University of Michigan and its law school that dispute the legality of race as a factor in college admissions.
At last week's Black Student Union meeting,BSU president Mark Dupree called for members to consider their opinions on the issue of race in admissions in anticipation of an open forum at the group's next meeting. Other groups, such as the KU chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the College Republicans have addressed the issue of race and affirmative action as factors in admissions. Divisive Tonic
Opinions on the often contentious topic have differed. College Republicans said they opposed affirmative action and race as playing a factor in admissions because it put too little emphasis on merit and because efforts to diversify were too contrived.
"I think it's hard to engineer diversity," said Erin Blocher, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior and the College Republicans' president. She said she thought diversity by its nature should be something that naturally happens and that if one constructs or engineers it, the essence of people coming together naturally is taken away.
Blocher said she thought college admissions should be based solely on merit - test scores, activities and, most importantly, academic performance in high school.
Other groups, such as KU's NAACP chapter, support race being a factor in admissions. Tish Merritt, Liberty senior and the NAACP's social chair, said often times complaints about race being a factor in admissions confuse the real issue.
"What they forget to tell you is that many of the people complaining the loudest are underqualified." Merrit said.
Merrit cited the recent Michigan Law School case as an example of underqualified students leading the charge against race as a factor in enrollment. Kristin Lambert, KU NAACP president and Kansas City, Kan., junior, echoed Merrit's sentiment.
"People only care about it when it comes to something they want," said Lambert. Will the Supreme Court really affect the University?
Although campus groups debate the relative merits of affirmative action and race as a factor in admissions, a Supreme Court ruling would likely have little impact on KU admissions policies.
Because race is not a factor in admissions, a ruling would not directly impact minority enrollment, said Lisa Pinamonti, director of admissions and scholarships.
While opinions on the Bush administration's position on college admissions and the issue of affirmative action have differed, the result of a Supreme Court
ruling on the University's current undergraduate admission policy would be minimal. Pinamonti said.
"If you meet the requirements set by the Kansas Board of Regents, you get in," Pinamonti said.
Steven McAllister, dean of the school of law, said that a Supreme Court ruling would only affect the University's undergraduate admissions and law school admissions if the Supreme Court said schools could take race into account "in no shape or form" during the admissions process. McAllister said such a ruling would be unlikely.
"I would guess that the court will say the way the University of Michigan does it is not good," McAllister said, referring to the points-based system the University of Michigan uses in admissions. "It's hard for me to think it would have a dramatic effect on KU."
Still An Issue
Despite the fact that a Supreme Court ruling against race as a factor in admissions would likely have a minimal effect on the University, students and faculty still see it as a big issue because of its national ramifications.
"I do believe it would have an impact on those with different enrollment policies." Pinamonti said.
Anthony Daniels, assistant director in multicultural affairs, said he thought a ruling would certainly set a precedent and stressed the need for caution in reaching a decision on race in admissions.
"The resource goes away if the law's not behind it," Daniels said. "It's important that people understand why we have the current law in the first place."

Property owners react to ordinance
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Graffiti stretches across Lawrence, and the city ordinance regarding graffiti stretches to encompass all types.
In Article 10 of Chapter 14 of Lawrence city codes states that any writing, printing, marks, signs, symbols, figures, designs, inscriptions or other drawings that are scratched, scrawled, painted, drawn or etched qualify as graffiti. These marks are illegal if they appear on any structural component of any building, wall, fence, sidewalk, curb, structure or other facility, public or private, without the consent of the owner, regardless of the nature of the material used in its application.
Frank Reeb, city clerk and administrative services director, said graffiti didn't seem to be a problem in Lawrence. In his 16 months at the job, the code hasn't brought any attention. But residents said they saw graffiti citywide.

Students respond to shuttle tragedy
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Americans weren't the only ones watching.
When the space shuttle Columbia broke apart over the Texas sky Saturday, the Israeli and Indian people also lost astronauts from their nations. But they had been following the shuttle mission long before it became a tragedy.
"It was the biggest thing there," Payal Kapur, Overland Park junior, said. "American news only made it popular after the crash."
Kapur, a member of the India Association of Kansas City, said she was surprised by the lack of shuttle coverage in America prior to Saturday. Kalpana Chawla, an American-educated astronaut, was the first Indian
woman in space in 1997. This was Chawla's second trip into space and big news in India.
"My parents do a good job of keeping me involved with my Indian culture, and they frequently send me all kinds of Indian publications," she said.
Dalia Rosenstein, Tel-Aviv, Israel freshman, said she looked at updates of the crew, and its Israeli member Ilan Ramon, every night even before the crash. Ramon was the first Israeli in space.
"He was an important person for our country," she said. "He symbolized our survival and success."
Seeing so many Americans go into space might have made Americans complacent when it comes to space travel, Rosenstein said.

Study to follow eating behavior
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Two-thirds of college students gain weight during their first year at college because of unhealthy eating and drinking, according to the Tufts Longitudinal Health Study.
In order to study the eating and exercising behaviors of freshmen at the University of Kansas, Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, and Cynthia Akagi, assistant professor of health, sport and exercise sciences, are conducting an online survey beginning this week.
The Kansas State Attorney General's office awarded Chapman and Akagi a nutrition education grant for $49,000 for two years to do the study.
All freshmen and students new to the University will receive an e-mail this week with a link to the survey and will have until Feb.14 to answer the questions. In Spring 2004 the students will be asked to fill out a follow-up survey.
Akagi said they decided to conduct the research after many freshmen voiced their concerns about gaining weight and not having time to exercise.
Chapman and Akagl will examine the students' eating and exercise behaviors and then study the changes in those behaviors over a year.
The study is targeting freshman because they are making the transition from eating at home to eating in the residence halls and then on their own, she said.
By studying these changes over the year, Akagi said, they want to develop programs to improve students' eating habits. They plan on sending the data to the food services on campus, other universities in Kansas, health departments and high schools.
Akagi said they also hope to educate students on early intervention for eating disorders.
Chapman and Akagi said they chose to do an online survey because it was faster, easier and had a better response rate compared to a regular survey.
"We want to be responsive to student needs and online is where their world is at," Akagi said.
Emily Proffitt, Lawrence freshman, said an online survey was quicker and easier, but saw the convenience as a disadvantage, too.
"It's easier and quicker to blow it off, like I did," she said.
Proffitt said she overlooked the survey and didn't find the $2 Blockbuster coupon offered upon completion of the survey much of an incentive.
Ashton Boone, Wichita freshman, however, said he might do the survey and thought an online survey was a good idea.
"That's how they do everything else," he said.
The Tufts Longitudinal Health Study has been done at Tufts University in the Boston area every spring for the past three years. It is a mail-in survey about college students' eating behaviors.

Judges on the KU Parking Department's appeals board hear the gamut of excuses when it comes to illegal parking — some more effective than others.
"I couldn't walk that far," "My car broke down" and, yes, "My bowels were seized in spasmodic agony and I had to leave the car and run."
Kimberly Ireland, chief justice for the appeals court and a Wichita second-year law student, said judges heard a "fair number" of diarrhea excuses each year.
"It depends on the judges you get," she said. "Sometimes we'll excuse it just because we don't want to hear about it."
Tickets are inevitable at the University of Kansas, a cruelly crafted campus that sometimes requires a pair of hiking boots and a burro to traverse. Sometimes we just have to park, and sometimes we have to pay.

sity spell doom by their very design. Permits were oversold by an average of 24 percent last year, said Margretta de Vries, court clerk and receptionist at the parking department. Yellow permits, which allow parking at locations such as Memorial Stadium and the Burge Union, were oversold by 32 percent. The poor GSP-Corbin Hall women have to battle it out big time for parking — their lot was oversold by 49 percent.
Surprisingly, the number of tickets issued at the University declined steadily in recent years. In 2001, 43,978 tickets were issued, as compared with 47,223 in 2000 and a whopping 58,817 in 1999.
Fewer overall tickets means lit.
te to irate students with pink envelopes lining their hoods. Ticket prices range from $5 for expired meters to $100 for handicapped spots. De Vries said employees at the parking department office had panic buttons in case a ticketed individual became belligerent.
For those students with a little more tact, the parking department appeals system offers hope.
De Vries said there were effective wavs to appeal a ticket.
Last year 951 tickets were appealed, and 231 of those appeals were granted. Not an astounding number, but it shows the parking department is willing to admit when it's wrong.
"They should be matter-of-fact and honest," de Vries said.
De Vries said the court would consider the appeal as long as the department received it within 10 days after the ticket was issued.
Appeals can be made in person or "ex parte," which means the student fills out the appeal form and does not appear in court.
Forms are available online at www.ku.edu/-parking.
Ireland said students should include as much relevant information as possible.
"It's hard for us to give the student the benefit of the doubt when we don't know all the facts." she said.
An decisions are made by five law students who, thankfully, know what it's like to drive on the KU campus. Students who received tickets while visiting Watkins Health Center could get a break if they brought in proof of an appointment, de Vries said. Ireland said if a student's car broke down on campus, they should let parking know immediately so the car won't be towed.
Tickets on campus are inevitable. Still, an effectively appealed ticket could mean that $20 will stay in your wallet.
Until your next trip to campus, anyway.

Freshman underrepresented in Senate
By Cate Batchelder

Kevin McKenzie, Salina freshman, is a minority — in Student Senate.
The Association of University Residence Halls' senator would like to see more of his freshmen peers by his side. He wrote legislation to have better representation in Senate, but the bill failed last night in Senate committee meetings.
of the student body, according to the University of Kansas Fall 2002 Student Profile. Two of the 80 student senators are freshmen.
McKenzie said freshmen weren't equally represented in Senate. They make up 22.4 percent
Jennifer Ternes, Nunemaker senator, said the freshmen had opportunities to get involved either by being an associate senator or joining a committee. As a Nunemaker senator, representing students with less than 60 credit hours, she said she thought she was representing both sophomores and freshmen.
"I don't think in the period from the first year to your second year that you lose all perspective on
what freshmen are concerned with," Ternes said.
As a freshman last year, Bryan Young, University Affairs committee member, started coming to committee meetings but didn't run for a voting senate seat because he didn't think he knew enough about the senate processes.
"I think if we just allow freshmen to come in right away without any real senate experience, they will become discouraged after they realize what it's like," Ternes said.
Although the bill didn't pass, McKenzie will continue to work on the bill to include more freshmen representation in Senate. One option is to divide 15 of the Nune-maker senator seats and give half exclusively to freshmen.

A bill failed to provide speaking privileges at Senate meetings to all KU students.

PERSPECTIVE
Jennifer Wade for The University Daily Kansan
Clinton impeachment exemplifies tradition of deception in politics
A few years ago, as many of us surely recall, former President Bill Clinton, defender of freedom and democracy, faced impeachment for perjury. He was "brought to justice" for abusing power by receiving fellatio from a White House intern. There is little agreement today on whether Clinton's extra-marital affair should' have resulted in his removal from office or Hillary simply asking him to sleep on the couch.
The general consensus is that Clinton did wrong by violating the trust of the American people. The continued cry is "He lied to us."
Wake up. America.
The Clinton trial is just an obvious example of the political deception that has taken place behind closed doors for generations. We could easily generate grounds for impeaching every president in U.S. history.
No person in a seat of power is expected to lay all of their cards on the table, as that would surely jeopardize his position.
Politics is, frankly speaking, the art of living.
Sometimes, political analysts argue, deception or withholding the truth or both is necessary to pacify the citizens, preventing them from degenerating

COMMENTARY
Steve Ducey
opinion@kansan.com
Be that as it may, it behooves us as voters of a democracy to consider the severity of the lie before condemning and punishing the offender.
Lying about marital infidelity can hardly be considered an impeachable offense when one considers the sort of atrocities committed without disclosure by Bill Clinton and just about every other president in the post-war era.
bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, the illegal use of depleted uranium weapons in the Persian Gulf (harming both Iraqi civilians and American soldiers), and the near genocide of the people of East Timor, located 200 miles from the northern coast of Australia, in the early 1990s.
As far back as the Eisenhower administration, evidence can be cited for U.S. involvement in numerous acts of terror, violence, war crimes and oppression, all in blatant violations of international law and all more than worthy of impeachment. The CIA directed an overthrow of a democratically-elected leader in Guatemala, the slaughter of countless innocents urging democratic reforms in El Salvador, the
These are just a few items on the laundry list of offenses committed by U.S.trained, outfitted or sponsored perpetrators.
If first-hand accounts of only a portion of these crimes received the media backing of the Starr report, which ran in full-text in some major newspapers in the country, then surely Americans would have called for the removal of (insert President-at-the-time here) from office.
Why is the President's sex life is so much more paramount in the eyes of the media and the public? Surely greater wrongs have been committed that violate not only domestic policy, but also international law. The legitimacy of our nation and the rule of law depend on our ability to recognize the evils of our world that truly matter and exact punishment accordingly.

Join community to promote peace
Most Asian students are surprised and confused at American culture. I am a Japanese student. This is my second semester here, and I'm still adapting to American culture.
KU communities can have a very important role in adapting to American culture.
Your living space should be the most significant community. It can also be the smallest one. We can compare KU's communities to the silicon chips of a computer. The computer can't function without all of its chips intact. As in a computer, the University might not work well unless students get along with roommates.
Not only Asian international students, but all students should join a community at the University of Kansas.
I talked to several students,including those living with international students, about their living situations. Fortunately, all of them have said they had good relationships with their roommates.The three keys to a peaceful home life are frequent communication,respect for one another's belongings and a clean kitchen.
When talking with the students, I asked them how they would act if their country was at war with their roommate's native country. No one said, "I will hate them and their nations."
COMMENTARY
Kengo Terada
opinion@kansan.com
But the responses to the following question were definitely divided.
A French girl said she would go to the party, despite sideways glances from American students.
Another person said, "I would feel guilty about them even though I know they do not go to battlefield."
A student from India responded similarly.
"I am not France," she said.
I asked them, "In the middle of war, would you go to your roommate's party?" One person told me he wouldn't go, because tension between citizens of warring countries could endanger him.
"I have to show and explain why countries are fighting," he said. "I am going to discuss about fighting in there."
The most remarkable answer to the question came from a friend of mine, Juan Cristobal, a Bolivia freshman.
"I would go, but I would not act as countries are fighting."
The first two responses reflect an idealistic attitude. They can say they'll go to the party now, when the situation is only hypothetical. But if the party were to actually occur, the answer may not be as easy as going with a smile on your face.
Cristobal's response is the more feasible answer. People are more likely to just go to the party, drink a beer and ignore the political tension for the night.
As I expected, students think they can understand any situation in a one-onone setting. If a group of American students comes face-to-face with a group of Japanese students, for example, pointing fingers becomes easier and the barrier might be felt.
When I asked students what could make relationships with roommates better and what could bring all KU students closer to one another, the responses surprised me.
Beyond my expectations, students showed almost the same attitude for both the questions. Almost everyone said sharing common activities could improve personal relationships.
To do your part in promoting peace in the world, remember the computer chip analogy. We need to focus on relationships in the smallest communities first so we can prevent war later.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Tuition funding spread unevenly
Over the next year, the University of Kansas will add 18 new faculty positions to the campus. An addition of this magnitude has not happened at the University in 20 years. Thirteen of the new faculty will join the life-sciences department and five will be added to international studies. Students in other classes will wait to see the benefits of the increased tuition they've paid, which provided the University with $1.5 million for the new positions.
The University should spread the new positions evenly across its departments now instead of leaving struggling programs waiting indefinitely for relief.
Provost David Shulenburger said life sciences were chosen to receive the new positions because the department was a national leader in research and transferred part of that success to the private sector.
Life sciences include cognitive neuroscience, chemistry, biomolecular engineering, genetics, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry and bioinformatics, a new field of science that will bring together biology computer science and information technology as one discipline.
International studies will hire professors in international financial law, global environment and global human ecology. The University recently received praise for its international education and study abroad programs.
This plan leaves the future too uncertain.
Kevin Boatright, associate executive vice chancellor for University Relations, said KU planned to add faculty in other departments each year, but the future of this plan was contingent on funding from the state and how the tuition-increase money was handled.
The University should not expect some students to suffer while other profit disproportionately.
Students in areas of study fortunate enough to receive new professors may benefit, but the majority of students will see only a tuition increase while faculty numbers remain the same.

Student studies ways to prevent pollution, eliminate waste cleanup

Jacob Spence hopes researching organic solvents will help clean up the environment.

Jacob Spence, Wichita junior, works on his carbon dioxide research in Learned Hall yesterday. Spence's research of injecting carbon dioxide into powerful solvents could clean up the environment. "I have to say the only reason people might care about this is because it offers environmental benefits." Spence said
The Wichita junior teamed up with Bala Subramaniam, distinguished professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, and other professors in chemistry to study pollution prevention last summer. He is researching replacing traditional organic solvents, mainly used in processing chemicals, with carbon dioxide. He is continuing his research this spring.
"Jacob knows what the problem is. He has to look through the literature and use creativity to develop methodologies for pursuing his objective," Subramaniam said.
The hope for the research was to develop a way to eliminate waste and prevent pollution so industries and the government don't have to deal with waste
cleanup, Subramaniam said.
"I have to say the only reason people might care about this is because it offers environmental benefits," Spence said. "I'm sure most people, including myself, don't really care if we can improve the detergent mixing process, but probably some of the larger chemical companies do."
As for the results of the research, both Spence and Subramaniam said there was still much work to be done.
"I guess it's kind of like a problem solving process." Spence said. "It helps you develop how to solve problems you don't necessarily know the answer for. I don't really know what exactly the experiment is going to show."
Subramaniam and his researchers have started demonstrating the concepts. The challenge comes with scaling the research to production level and determining if it's economically feasible, Subramaniam said.

Rec center job challenging, rewarding

Even though his patience is tested every day. Pat Laushman loves his job at the East Lawrence Recreational Center
Faces in the Crowd
On top of 14 credit hours, the Pittsburg junior
entertainks kids for 25 hours a week at the recreation center.
Pat Laushman, Pittsburg junior, works with children every Saturday at the East Lawrence Recreation Center. It is his job to help watch after the children who come for interaction and entertainment; mainly playing basketball. "A lot of the kids here can't afford team sports," Laushman said, "We're here to help them out."
Laushman says that the center's children, ages 6 to 17, face challenges every day.
"It's the kind of place that if you drop your keys or your wallet, you probably aren't going to get them back," Laushman said.
Aside from policing two gyms and putting up with kids talking back to him, Laushman relieves stress from his studies while playing kick ball and dodge ball with the kids.
Although Andy Laushman, Pat's brother, would never work at the recreation center, he knows how much the kids appreciate his little brother.
"He never just sits behind the desk," Andy Laushman said. "Those kids wear him out."
For Laushman work consists of both good and bad experiences.
"The last thing that I want to deal with after a long day at school or a bad test is having a bunch of little kids cussing me out at work," Laushman said.
His job is stressful, but he loves the interaction with the kids.
Laushman has developed personal relationships with some of the center's regulars.
"It costs $6 to get in," Laushman said. "This girl and her brother couldn't afford it, so I let them in for free. Later, she wrote me a thank you note that I have taped above my bed."
Flexible hours and the opportunity to play basketball whenever he wants keeps him at the center, where he has worked since his freshman year.
Because of his experience at the center, Laushman may pursue a career in education.

Theater students, playwrights win regional awards
By Lauren Bristow
lbristow@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas playwrights and theater students received awards for their work in regional competition.
Emerging as winners at the region five Kennedy Center/American College Theater Festival were six theater students and two playwrights. The competition was held at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Playwright Tim Macy's 10-minute play, Attack of the Asians, was selected last month to advance to national competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in April.
"It's just an amazing honor to have something that I wrote being read at the Kennedy Center," said Macy, a fall 2002 graduate from Noel, Mo. "I am excited about going on to the final."
Two other KU playwrights have advanced to the national competition in the past eight years, said Paul Lim, the professor of the Beginning Playwriting class where Macy wrote his play. As part of a free trip to Washington.
Macy will have a week-long internship at the Kennedy Center, where he will attend rehearsals of his play and attend playwriting workshops, Lim said.
If Macy wins at the national competition he will receive a $2,500 prize, a two-week summer fellowship at the O'Neill Theatre Conference and publication of his play.
Kristin Soper, Amarillo,
Texas, senior, won an award for
her play, as well.
"Kristin Soper's 10-minute play Ketchup was clearly the audience favorite." Lim said. "It received the Al Gore Popular Vote after more than 500 students and faculty attended the staged readings of the 10-minute plays."
"Basically they don't want two shows with the same theme. So they are looking for the best show with that theme."
Patrick Craft
Kansas City junior
The University Theatre's production of Iphigenia at Aulis was one of three full length plays selected to hold for possible invitation to the national competition.
Putting a show on hold means that after all eight regional festivals are held, judges pick which shows they would like to advance to national competition from all held over shows, said Patrick Craft, Kansas City, Mo., junior. Craft plays a messenger in the production.
"Basically they don't want two shows with the same theme," Craft said. "So they are looking for the best show with that theme."
Iphigenia at Aulis also brought home personal awards for Sara Armstrong, Cushing, Okla., graduate student who won Meritorious Achievement Awards for direction and co-sound design and for Nick Kostner, Murdock senior, who also won a Meritorious Achievement Award for co-sound design.
Other students who received awards at the festival included Brian Clinnin, Arlington Heights, Ill., graduate student; Beth Collins, Sanderstead, England, graduate student; Aaron Dyszelski, Milwaukee, Wis., graduate student; and Kelly Mengelkoch, Wichita senior.

Student helps area teenagers
By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Matthew Corti knows how to listen.
Corti, Overland Park sophomore, volunteers for the Young Life Program. Young Life is a volunteer organization that provides a mentorship between University of Kansas students and Lawrence high schoolers.
Jegen McDermott/Kansan
He said sometimes the teens just needed someone to talk to.
Corti spends about 10 hours a week hanging out with high schoolers.
Corti became involved with Young Life after participating in his church's youth group in high school. He wanted to continue to be involved with mentorship in college.
Corti said by spending time with the kids, he was setting an example for them to live by.
"You can't just talk the talk, you have to live it everyday," Corti said.
Although Corti has mentored younger children, he prefers working with area teenagers.

"I know that he wants to give himself to others to grow in character," Torgler said. "His compassion and love for people help him reach out to the kids."
Although Corti donates his time to help others, he admits that this program is doing as much for him as he is doing for the kids.
"I moved around quite a bit as a kid," Corti said. "As soon as I'd make new friends, I was on the move again. Young life has helped me form strong, solid attachments to others."
After graduating, Corti wants to attend medical school and become a neurologist or a pediatrician. He plans to use the skills he has learned from Young Life in
the workplace
"We live in a diverse community," Corti said. "Even in the business world, if you can't
understand others, you can't begin to help them."

"But this was the first ever Israeli person to go up. It gave the whole country pride," she said.
Chawla had just been on the cover of the India Times in January and named Outstanding Indian American. She was discouraged by her parents to go into such a dangerous and masculine profession.
"Women are way behind in India," Kapur said. "To be so educated, it's inspiring because not many minorities get to do this stuff."
According to newindpress.com, Sudhakar Shenoy, co-chairman of the Indian American Republican Council, said: "She came here from a distant land when it was not so common for a single woman to leave a conservative country like India. She worked hard and achieved the highest

Kapur said she hoped the crew's death wasn't in vain.
"she died doing something she loved, and along the way she helped the cause of women

Graffiti

Pogge said she didn't understand why someone wrote the accusatory statement on a public building.
James Truscello, general manager at Teller's, said he didn't understand either.
"Whoever did that, they were angry." he said.
Truscello said the situation was sad, but he was most interested in painting over it quickly. He said that Teller's was one of the places hit because it was visible and had good wall space. ABRING BY THE CODE
ABIDING BY THE CODE
If the Tellers' owner hadn't removed the graffiti, declared a public nuisance 14 days after a Notice to Remove Graffiti was served to him by a public officer, he would have been subject to the same punishments as the graffiti writer.
Sue Vance, manager of The Children's Book Shop, 937 Massachusetts St., was unaware of the city ordinance.
"I think they probably need to let us know that, but I don't think they'd be too strict about it," she said. "Obviously, they haven't been."
She said graffiti writers hit the bookshop consistently. Vance and other employees have had to paint over it five or six times. Vance can also call Douglas County Community Corrections to have their workers repaint.
"I pull up behind it and think,
"Oh gosh, have to do something
about that again." Vance said.
Across the alley, the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St., was hit last semester with graffiti for the first time. Vance said she was impressed graffiti writers chose to stay away from the church for so long, even though her store is tagged over and over again. Vance said she didn'tthink the bookshop was targeted, but said it was frustrating.
"And I'm sure they get a thrill out of walking down the alley, and it's still there above the
poster shop or on the back of Jayhawk Spirit or something, and obviously it's still on our door," Vance said.
Half the time, Vance said she couldn't even read the illegible graffiti. She said she didn't let the hieroglyphics affect her or the shop's business. Most of the customers enter through the front door anyway.
But although having convicted graffiti writers paint over her tagged door would not solve the problem, Vance said, she didn't mind having writers come to repaint.
Nate Vormehr, Lawrence resident, had to paint over the catwalks under the I-70 bridge over the Kansas River after police caught him writing there in February 2001. Getting caught and convicted of writing graffiti is punishable by a fine of between $250 and $1,000, or by imprisonment for no longer than six months or by fines and imprisonment. The municipal court judge can also order the convicted to pay restitution to the property owner.
Vance said the problem with Vormehr's illegal hobby ran deeper than that. Painting over graffiti may be the city's responsibility, she said, but it's more society's responsibility.
CLEANING IT UP
Paul Gray, senior pastor of Heartland Community Church, 619 Vermont St., collected 50 people from his congregation to clean up graffiti and shrubs at Well's Overlook south of Lawrence on June 30.
"We're not on an anti-graffiti campaign or anything," he said. "It was just one area where we could help."
He said the graffiti at the overlook was obscene and offended some of the congregation.
"I could see how families would not want to go out there and have their 8-year-old or 9-year-old kids say. 'Hey mom, what does that mean?'" he said.
Unless you have somebody stationed there 24 hours,you just can't control it,Gray said. He said the congregation was thinking of going back next summer.

NASA rejects idea that launch debris caused Columbia disintegration
SPACE CENTER Houston After days of analysis, NASA backed away yesterday from the theory that a piece of foam that struck Columbia during liftoff was the root cause of the space
shuttle's disintegration over Texas.
Shuttle program manager Ron Dittenmore said investigators now are focusing more closely on the desperate effort of Columbia's automatic control system to hold the speed of the spacecraft stable
despite an increasing level of wind resistance, or drag, on the left wing.
Dittemore said that after a careful study of the damage possible from the fall of a chunk of foam insulation that was believed to be 20 inches and 21/2 pounds,
investigators were "looking somewhere else."
"Right now, it just does not make sense to us that a piece of debris would be the root cause for the loss of Columbia and its crew," he said. "There's got to be another reason."
Dittemore said investigators were now asking if there was "another event that escaped our attention" that might have caused Columbia to break up minutes before the end of its 16-day mission, killing all seven astronauts.
Investigators have been looking at the possibility that the piece of foam that fell off the shuttle's external fuel tank after liftoff Jan. 16 caused damage to the thermal tiles under the left wing that doomed the flight. The tiles keep the ship from burning up during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

Vaccine injuries hinder program
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — State health officials said yesterday that concerns over compensation for people injured by the smallpox vaccine are hampering the inoculation program, which has vaccinated just a few hundred people so far.
Federal authorities acknowledge the problem but still have no solution.
Based on historic data, a small number of people vaccinated will face serious injuries, and federal officials acknowledge they need a way to offer compensation for lost wages and medical expenses. But officials made clear they still lacked a plan even as states are beginning to inoculate smallpox response teams.
The only way people now can get reimbursed for expenses is through the workers' compensation system, which federal officials say has many holes.
"I say we many times, 'We're stepping up to the front lines to protect the public health. We expect the federal government to come in there and support us,' said Dr. Leah Devlin
state medical director in North Carolina.
New York City plans to delay its program for months, partly because of concerns about compensation, a federal official said.
Nebraska initially aimed to inoculate 3,000 people in the first phase, but officials are now expecting a total closer to 1,700, said Dr. Richard Raymond, the state's chief medical officer. The difference was partly due to concerns about compensation, he said.
In Virginia, many hospitals were skeptical about the small-pox program to start with, and the lack of compensation has made the problem worse, said Lisa Kaplowitz, deputy commissioner for emergency preparedness and response at the state's Health Department.
To prepare for a potential attack, federal officials had hoped states would vaccinate up to 500,000 people on smallpox
response teams and in hospital emergency rooms during the first phase of a preparation program. In the second phase, they hope states will inoculate up to 10 million other people, including more health care workers and emergency responders.
States have expressed a variety of concerns since President Bush announced this policy in December. Many officials worry they do not have enough money to run their vaccination programs. Some say they are still not convinced that the risk of smallpox is great enough to risk the vaccine.
"What if the federal government threw a vaccine party and nobody came?" David Engelthaler, chief of the Arizona Department of Health Services bioterrorism office, asked at a National Governors Association bioterrorism session.
So far, 11 states and one city had vaccinated 432 people, said Joe Henderson, bioterrorism chief at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Forty-three states and large cities have requested 368,700 doses of vac
cine, and 221,700 doses have been shipped so far, he said.
Henderson acknowledged that the compensation issue was causing significant concerns, but he tried to play down expectations for the program.
"We feel it would be a success if no one received the vaccine but we offered this opportunity to all the right people," he said.
Because the vaccine can cause serious injuries, Congress barred most lawsuits against hospitals and others administering the shots. That left people who are injured with little opportunity for compensation.
People who get inoculated because of their jobs may be eligible for workers' compensation. But in most states, injured workers are not reimbursed their full wages. In New York state, for instance, the maximum compensation is two-thirds of their salaries, up to $400 per week.
In North Carolina, some hospitals underwrite their own workers' compensation programs, meaning they will bear the cost of any claims.

Sebelius questions education system
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A group of former educators, politicians and business leaders agreed yesterday that Kansas had a good education system but that there was cause to worry that it was slipping in quality.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius appointed the 28-member group to make recommendations for improving the state's education system. She told the group she wanted it to review student achievement, study cost-efficiency issues and propose ways to groom leaders among teachers and students.
Sebelius said she wanted
Kansas to be a national leader in education within five years. Kansas routinely ranks high among other states in student scores on standardized tests.
"The good news about this challenge is we have an enormously positive platform to work from," Sebelius said.
But, she added: "We're in a precarious position. Without looking at gaps and continuing the excellence, the platform will become one full of holes."
The advisers held their first meeting since being appointed by Sebelius, and expects to meet at least twice a month. Sebelius has not given the group a deadline for completing its work.
Sprint layoffs help company turn profit
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sprint Corp., facing a report its two top executives are being forced out over their use of a questionable type of tax shelter, reported earnings yesterday of $39 million during the fourth quarter.
The profit is a substantial increase over the $1.2 billion loss the company reported during the same period a year earlier.
The company credited cost-cutting measures, which have included 17,000 layoffs since October 2001.
Sprint confirmed Sunday that William T. Esrey, its longtime chief executive and chairman, would step down.
The company has not said why or when Esrey, 63, would
leave, but his resignation was not unexpected because he was diagnosed with lymphoma in November.
However, yesterday, The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported that Esrey and Ronald T. LeMay, Sprint's president and chief operating officer, was being forced out as part of a boardroom dispute over their use of a questionable type of tax shelter that was under scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service.
Sprint executives would not comment on the report.
"Management is focused on the operations and running of this company," Esrey said during a conference call with investors yesterday morning. "If there's
anything appropriate to say, we will say them at the appropriate time, but not on this call."
The Overland Park, Kanbased company wants Gary Forsee, a vice chairman at BellSouth Corp. and former Sprint executive, to replace Esrey.
However, a Georgia judge over the weekend issued a temporary restraining order that prevents Forsee from leaving BellSouth to replace Esrey.
A hearing on the lawsuit was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Atlanta.
Shares of Sprint's wireline division. FON, rose 47 cents, or just under 4 percent, at $12.83 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Shares of its wireless division, PCS, were up 29 cents, or just
under 8 percent, at $3.98.
Analysts said The Journal's report was not especially damaging to the company because there was no indication that what Esrey and LeMay did was illegal, and it did not affect Sprint's bottom line.
"There could have been accounting issues related to the company and it could have been a thousand times worse," Tim Horan, an analyst with CIBC World Markets, said.
But that "good news," said Jeff Kagan, an independent analyst based in Atlanta, was tempered by the distraction it's caused for the company.
"On top of that they don't have a CEO lined up to take the place, so there's a lot of uncertainty that swirls," Kagan said.

NASCAR's Stewart'tumor-free,' ready to race
The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH. Fla. — He seems relaxed and refreshed, perhaps even at peace.
The only immediate sign that it's still the same Tony Stewart is the three-day growth of beard and wrinkled T-shirt.
Otherwise, Stewart has wiped the slate clean from his tortuous and triumphant Winston Cup championship season and is looking to make his title defense as smooth a ride as possible.
"I've eliminated all the brain tumors over the offseason, so I'm 'tumor-free' right now," Stewart said. "I've put everything behind me."
The "brain tumors" are Stewart's description of the on-track anguish and off-track anxiety of last year.
Some of it was self-inflicted; He punched a photographer and sought anger management training afterward. There were many other conflicts with fans and the media.
Some of it wasn't his doing: His engine blew on the second lap of the season-opening Daytona 500 and he had to overcome five other drives who didn't finish to become the first driver to climb from worst to first in the standings.
When he found himself on the verge of his first Winston Cup title, he had to withstand unprecedented scrutiny as doubters wondered if he was fit to represent NASCAR.
Less than three months later, he simply shrugs at his past while acknowledging he'll have his share of bumps in the future.
He's back in Daytona, looking to win his third-straight Budweiser Shootout Saturday night and make this year strictly about racing.
Stewart said he was still going to make mistakes, and he had thought about that a lot lately.
"So you get to a point where you ask yourself, 'When is that going to end? When are people finally going to let it go?' I don't know and I don't worry about it."
There are some who believe it's the same old song from Stewart, who starts every year promising it will be stress-free.
This time, however, those closest to him sense a real change.
"Tony seems very focused," car owner Joe Gibbs said. "I visited with him during the offseason and he was totally relaxed, had a good sense of humor and seemed a lot less irritated than in the past. Winning the championship has been very good for him."
Others say Stewart doesn't deserve all the criticism, that he should be left alone to be who he is and not held to NASCAR champion standards.
"He deserved to win the championship because of what he did on the race track, and off the race track he certainly keeps us entertained," said four-time series champion Jeff Gordon. "We hear all the time about not giving 'politically correct' answers and letting your personality come out."
Sometimes, that gets him in trouble.
Even if Stewart has put his demons behind him, there will still be struggles to deal with.
"But if that's him and his personality, he needs to stick with it."
Gibbs has switched Stewart to a Chevrolet from a Pontiac this season, so he'll have to adjust to a new car.
And as champion, his responsibilities as NASCAR's ambassador will be greater than any scheduling demands he wrestled with in his first four seasons on the circuit.
Stewart knows that and is applying several of last year's hard-learned lessons to help meet his obligations. He's already said he wouldn't compete in the International Race of Champions, and his dream of winning the Indianapolis 500 has been put on hold.
Those two omissions will trim time constraints from his schedule, and he'll continue to chip away at his packed calendar.
As he closed in on his title last season, Gibbs restricted the
amount of non-NASCAR events Stewart competed in. Allowed to resume his extracurricular activities this season, Stewart will continue to hopscotch around the country, competing in smaller events in his free time.
But he'll try to do a better job of balancing it with his sponsor obligations and heavy appearance schedule.
"I ran myself in the ground last year," he said. "So I've cut back on some of the extra races, I'm cutting back on some of my appearances and trying to streamline my schedule a little bit more to where it gives me some time to get away and hit a reset button a little more often."
That should finally allow him to be happy, an emotion he admitted he rarely felt last season. It hounded him as he was asked often if a championship would finally bring some joy to his life.
"will be happiest when everybody quits asking me if I'm happy," he said with his trademark smirk.

received permission to transfer to another school.
Meanwhile, someone on the Texas staff orchestrated the release of Axtell's grades to a local radio station. Assistant coach, Eddie Oran initially took responsibility for distributing the grades but later claimed Penders had been involved in the decision.
Axtell filed a lawsuit against the university, Penders and Texas Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds. The lawsuit was dismissed. Pen-
ders, who resigned after the 1997- 1998 season, later won a defamation lawsuit that Oran filed against him.
Even after Axell announced he was traisferring to Kansas, the nightmare didn't end — in fact, it got worse. He received a series of death threats while he was finishing his last semester at Texas.
"I'm walking down campus wondering if I'm about to take one in the back," Axtell said. "Pretty scary for a 19-year-old kid."
Today, the ugly split from Texas is in Axtell's rearview mirror.
"There's really no residue of it,"
he said. "People know what went down, and I haven't met one person in the last four years who has had anything negative to say."
Because of NCAA rules, Axtell's decision to transfer to another school in the Big 12 Conference left him with just two years of eligibility at Kansas. He joined the Jayhawks for the 1999-2000 season and averaged 8.7 points in 20 games before leaving the team to be treated for an undisclosed medical condition.
He returned the following season but missed 11 more games with a degenerative disc in his
back and an ankle injury. After averaging 5.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in his senior season, his career at Kansas was over.
"It just stinks, you know," he said. "I wish I could have stayed healthy."
Axtell graduated, returned home and did odd jobs in Austin, as his back slowly began to get better. After a year-and-a-half, he decided to adopt a serious rehabilitation program and began working out with Jamerson, a former member of the Houston Rockets.
Jamerson said a healthy Axtell
"I really believe that if he stays healthy and works hard at his game, he can still play in the NBA," Jamerson said. "He's only 24, and his best basketball is still ahead of him potentially."
had a chance to make a living at pro basketball's highest level.
Jamerson said he thought the three main things were whether he was healthy, continued to work and stayed in the right mind frame, he could do it."
Axtell is still not willing to reveal the nature of the medical ailment that derailed his junior season, but he said it is a thing of the past.
"I'm definitely healed at this point," he said. "There's no lingering effects or anything."
"To me, it's no different than the back injury. It's just another injury."
As he prepared to join his new team for the last quarter of its season. Axell said that because his plans never work out, his only long-term goal is to take his basketball talent as far as it will let him go.
"Beyond that," he said, "I could care less."

ankle low, since I was a baby."
And with that, the Kansas careers of Aaron Miles - the star McDonald's All-American point guard - and his friend, Michael Lee, began.
Also with that came a stereotype, almost a warning, about Lee. The perception was that Lee was at Kansas strictly to entice Miles to attend, and, to some extent, that was the truth.
So nothing special was expected of the 6-foot-3 former tight end and linebacker at Jefferson High School in Portland, Ore.
Last year, he sputtered along. The speed of the game was overwhelming. His shot became a permanent brick. He resorted to constant hacking on defense, earning the nickname of "Tweet" from his teammates, which referred to the noise of a referee's whistle.
By tournament time, he took the court with the walk-ons only at the tail end of blowouts. Through it all, Miles - who set a Kansas freshman record for assists and started all but one Jayhawk game - stuck by his boy, always assuring him they were in this together.
Lee said last season that if he were anywhere else and not playing, it would have been harder on him. "There were days I'd come home frustrated and Aaron would talk to me some or joke with me. He wouldn't let me get too down on myself," Lee said. "He made sure I knew he was behind me. He's a great friend."
As the offseason hit after Kansas' Final Four loss to Maryland, Lee vowed to be more than just a great friend to Miles. He strived to evolve into a great teammate. He spent endless hours shooting, perfecting his ball handling and restraining himself on defense.
When this season began, he felt ready to be more than just Miles' high school sidekick. His playing time became consistent. Williams commended him on a consistent basis. Lee took to heart Williams' plea of "help us by not hurting us."
Slowly, Lee's persona has been altered. It started with a homecoming trip to Oregon. The Jayhawks lost, but Lee starred, scoring 11 points in 20 minutes and outperforming Miles. He was now Michael Lee, Kansas 6th man, not Michael Lee, friend of Aaron Miles. Monday against Missouri, Lee cemented his place as a crucial fixture in the Jayhawk lineup. Again, Miles was off — he had the flu and turned the ball over six times — but Lee picked up his friend. In a career-high 28 minutes, Lee scored seven, grabbed four rebounds, knocked down two clutch last-minute free throws and, most importantly, permanently swayed minds.
Lee is now as important as anyone. Forget the past. Forget the recruiting process. Lee has deemed that all forgettable. He fights for loose balls. He swarms defenders — without fouling. He drives to the bucket hard and pulls up for jump shots with ease.
Who knows? Lee could fight for Kirk Hinrich's vacated starting spot next year. But for now, Lee is content contributing, because even that seemed unlikely to most Kansas fans.
Improbable to most, but not to his best friend, the one who wouldn't come to Kansas without him.
"I love him, and I love to see him succeed. Every time he does something, I'm happy for him," Miles said. "He means so much to this team now. I knew he had it in him."
He knew, Lee knew, now everyone knows. Lee is more than just Miles' friend.

The 6-foot-6, 220-pound tight end originally committed to KU, but changed his mind two weeks ago and signed with Kansas State.
"Certainly there's guys that got away, and that happens every year," Mangino said, "but the key thing is that we got some really players.
Kansas was able to win the recruiting battle on another player, as Wichita native John Randle inked with the Jayhawks after previously considering Kansas State.
Mangino denied making any negative comments about Kansas State to his recruits.
"We're trying to sell KU." Mangino said, "and we think we've got something pretty good to sell."

Cornhuskers continue to excel in rebounding
BvJeff Sheldon
Daily Nebraskan via U-wire University of Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. - In picking up its first conference victory Sunday, the Nebraska women's basketball team gave Oklahoma State a lesson on the finer points of rebounding.
Call it "boarding school" if you will.
In its last two contests, Nebraska has exploited its physical advantage en route to its two best offensive games of the season.
The correlation is not a coincidence, NU Coach Connie Yori said.
"Everyone knows rebounding is the most key statistic in any game other than maybe field goal percentage," Yori said. "When we rebound well, we have a chance."
Though the Cornhuskers currently rank seventh in the conference in rebounds per game and ninth in rebounding margin, the Huskers have outrebounded their last two opponents, Kansas and Oklahoma State, by an average of 10 rebounds.
Both Yori and junior forward Alexa Johnson agreed Nebraska had become a better team on the glass with the addition of volleyball standouts Laura Pilakowski and Greichaly Cepero.
"They have helped us immensely," said Johnson, who grabbed a team-high eight boards in Sunday's win. "Their leaping ability is amazing and they communicate really well. Everything they did in volleyball translates really well."
Rebounding fundamentals
nave become a focus in practice now that the Huskers (8-10, 1-6 Big 12 Conference) are comfortable with the new coaching staff's offensive and defensive sets, Johnson said.
"There's not a time in practice that if we miss a block out we don't hear about it," Johnson said.
Nebraska's resurgent rebounding game figures to be tested Wednesday night against Baylor (14-5, 3-4 Big 12).
While Oklahoma State and
Kansas both ranked in the lower half of the conference in rebounding, the Bears enter the 7:05 p.m. contest in the Bob Devaney Sports Center tied for first in rebounding margin (+7.8) and second in rebounds per game (43.7).
A youth movement in the post had taken Baylor to the top of the Big 12 standings before the Bears lost four of their last six against upper-echelon conference teams Texas, Texas Tech, Colorado and Oklahoma.
Freshman forward Sophia
Young is pulling down a conference-best 9.3 boards per contest, while sophomore Steffanie Blackmon also ranks seventh in rebounds per game (8.3) while scoring 18.5 points a game, good for fourth in the Big 12.
Johnson said those numbers made it no surprise Baylor puts up a league-high 79 points per game.
"A lot of their points come off offensive put backs," Johnson said. "They're really deep at the post, so we're going to have to work even harder on boxing out."

Mangino recruits seasoned players
By Jesse Newell
jnewell@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
If Mark Mangino was looking for quick solutions for his football team, he may have found them yesterday.
At his monthly press conference, the Kansas coach announced the signing of 12 junior-college players — those who will come in with previous college football experience — as the Jayhawks released their official recruiting class.
"This will be the last time that we will bring in this many junior college players." Mangino said. "We felt it was necessary that we do it, and I'm glad we did. Our players that are in our program now are excited too because they know that's going to make a little bit quicker impact on our program."
Just don't expect Mangino to recruit this way in the future.
Mangino will depend on these juniorcollege transfers to step in immediately as he tries to rebuild a program that finished 2-10 in 2002.
"We'd like to see all of them make some kind of an impact," Mangino said. "Some will sooner than others, but we're hoping they'll all be impact players for us."
Kansas also announced the signing of 14 high school seniors to round out a recruiting class ranked 39th in the nation by college football Web site Theinsiders.com. This ranks the Jayhawk's class eight in the Big 12 Conference, above conference foes Kansas State and Missouri.
Though it is hard to predict the future performance of recruits, Mangino said he was pleased with the players the Jayhawks were able to sign.
"You really never know what these guys are going to do until you get them on the field here but based on our evaluations, our research, I believe our coaching staff did an excellent job of identifying players that will improve our program," Mangino said.
Included in the class are several highly-touted recruits.
Linebacker Gabriel Toomey was named an NJCAA All-American last year at Iowa Central Community College, and Monroe Weekley earned Prep Star All-American honors as a senior in high school. Offensive lineman Richard Estrella and linebacker John McCoy also earned four-star ratings from Theinsiders.com.
The day was soured by the loss of several recruits to other schools. The most notable of these was Kansas City, Kan., standout Rashaad Norwood.

Kansan sportswinter
The Kansas women's basketball team knew that improving on defense would be the key to beating Colorado last night. Unfortunately, it was unable to do so in a 73-42 loss in Boulder, Colo.
The Buffalooes controlled the tempo of the game right from the opening tip and built an insurmountable 42-14 lead by halftime. As in the first meeting with Colorado this season, freshman forward Tamara Ransburg was the only jayhawk to score in double figures. Ransburg had 12 points in the game for Kansas (9-11, 2-7).
Not only was the game hard for coach Marian Washington to swallow but so was the loss of sophomore guard Blair Waltz. Waltz did not start and was limited to two minutes on the floor after she experienced back pain.
"I thought it was a great game for Colorado, not for us, especially in the first half. I knew we were coming into a tiger's den after their loss to Missouri." Washington said. "We are young and we lost Waltz tonight and that hurt us."
Junior center Tera Bjorklund led the way for Colorado (16-4, 6-3) with 18 points and nine rebounds. Bjorklund got the job done under the basket and got plenty of help on the perimeter. Senior forward Sabrina Scott and junior guard Kate Fagan each added three three-point shots to round out the Colorado attack.

Axtell goes pro in Moscow

Kansan sportswriter
Former Kansas men's basketball player, Luke Axtell, is taking a new journey in his quest to put his turbulent and disappointing college career behind him.
Axtell, who played at the University from 1999 to 2001, signed a contract last week with Dynamo, a professional team in Moscow. He left his Austin, Texas, home for Russia yesterday and will play in his first game for Dynamo Saturday.
"It's their top league," Axtell said. "They have an A-league and a B-league, and they're in the A-league."
Axtell couldn't have played competitive basketball at this time last year, when the back problems that helped limit his Kansas career to just 39 games were still nagging him. It wasn't until late last summer, after enduring a rigorous rehabilitation program and workouts with former NBA player Dave jameson, that he finally got to show his stuff on the court again.
In August, Axell joined an American exhibition team, along with Jamerson and several other former NBA players. It toured Latvia and Lithuania for two-and-a-half weeks. With his back feeling sound,
Axtell tore up the opposition and averaged about 22 points per game.
"We got our butts kicked,but it was great over there,man,"he said."We won't two out of six games.But! played well,made lots of contacts."
After returning to Austin, Axtell hooked up with an agent and began to market himself to teams in Europe looking for a replacement player.
"They look at your tape, talk to some people who have seen me play and decide whether or not they want you," he said.
"It's been hard, going through giving tapes to all these European teams. You're on 48-hour standby."

Axtell's stint in Russia will be a big step forward after a college career that ended with more controversy and injury rehabilitation time than memorable moments on the court.
He drew plenty of attention as a freshman in the 1997-1998 season. A long-haired, 6-foot-9-inch, long-range bomber, Axell started 25 games for the Longhorns and averaged 13.3 points while shooting 39.3 percent from three-point range.
But in March 1998, then-coach Tom Penders suspended Axtell for academic reasons. In the midst of a public war of words, involving reports that Axtell and

COMMENTARY
Ryan Malashock rnialashock@kansan.com
Lee brings more than friendship
During the search for his current sophomore class, Roy Williams knew he had found a gem. An all-everything point guard of the Jacque Vaughn prototype. Williams marveled at the vision that seemed to come out of all sides of his head.
The flick passes. The darts to the basket. The court creativity. This guy had it all. Just one problem — UCLA and Arizona recognized it, too. The stages were set for a recruiting battle.
Williams searched for an edge—some inside way for an outsider to sway the talented youngster. So he got to know the point guard. They discussed family, friends and futures. They pondered what would give the high schooler ultimate happiness. One point irked Williams' attention.
The point guard had a friend. Not just a buddy, a life-long companion. They had played sports with one another since they were tykes. They attended church together. Their families were extremely close.
At their high school, the point guard was the star quarterback, and the friend the star tight end. The point guard was the floor general in basketball, the friend the quiet contributor.
So Williams looked at the friend. This guy can play, too, Williams thought. He was just not as flashy about it. Not much attention from coaches. He was a shooting guard, jumped out of the gym, succumbed to no one and was built like a linebacker — wait, he was a linebacker. Legitimate football offers were there, but the point guard relayed to Williams that his friend yearned to play hoops.
"I probably would've been better off in football than in basketball in the long run," the friend said earlier this year. "It's just that I really like basketball a lot more than football."
An idea started to form: Why not get a two-for-one? Invite the friend to Kansas and the point guard follows. Packaged deals are common in basketball; they just hadn't been a practice at Kansas. Until this, Williams persisted with the friend. He saw a potential role player He acted and the point guard reacted in accord.
"When coach Williams offered him a scholarship, I knew that was where God wanted me to go," the point guard said at the time. "He's been my boy since I was

Four authors are coming to Lawrence this month to discuss their literature. The Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., and The Raven Bookstore, 8 E. 7th St., are co-sponsoring three of the authors.
The library usually has six to 10 authors visit each year to talk to the public about their work.
"We don't have as many authors come as I would like, so to have four in a month is very unusual," said Sandra Wiechert, community relations coordinator for the Lawrence Public Library. "I am excited to have them, but things are hectic around here this month."
Andro Linklater
4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 8, in Lawrence Public Library Auditorium
Linklater is a British journalist who came to the United States and was interested in the ownership of land. He had questions about concepts like city blocks, squared-off farmlands and numbered highways. He researched and wrote Measuring America: How an Untamed Wilderness Shaped The United States and Fulfilled the Promise of Democracy to answer these questions.
"We are very excited to have Andro Linklater coming to the library," Wiechert said. "His presentations are not only interesting and accurate, but also humorous."
Jennifer Cain Bohrnstedt
7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 10, in Lawrence Public Library Auditorium
Bohrnstedt is an author and Civil War historian. She collected the wartime letters of a Union clerk, whose ability to write shorthand made him too valuable to risk in battle. Her book, While Father is Away: The Civil War Letters of William H. Bradbury, is a collection of those letters.
"Her book provides a window to family
life, official life and social history in Civil War times," Wiechert said. "We are delighted to have her."
Ann Hagedorn
7 p.m., Tuesday Feb. 27, in Lawrence Public Library Auditorium
Hagedorn moved from New York to Ripley, Ohio, to research and write about the history of the underground railroad.
"There were a number of descendants who still lived in the area that she talked to. It is a fascinating history that had been forgotten by many," Wiechert said.
Hagedorn's book, Beyond the River: The Untold Story of the Heroes of the Underground Railroad is about the Ripley Line, which guided hundreds of slaves to freedom.
Thomas Fox Averill
7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 24, at The Lawrence Arts Center
The book, set in a fictional Kansas City restaurant, uses food and cooking as a metaphor to tell the story of a man's life growing up in a family of cooks.
He is coming to Lawrence as a part of the Read Across Lawrence program. Wiechert said the program was in its fourth year and is a copy of a program that started in Seattle
"We basically encourage the whole town to read the same book and then discuss it with the author in a public and academic setting." Wiechert said.
Averill will be speaking at local high schools and will have a discussion about his experiences being a published Kansas author on Feb.27 at the Lawrence Public Library.
Wiechert said that in the past students and professors attended the author visits.
Averill is a professor at Washburn University. He wrote Secrets of the Tsil Cafe. - Edited by Melissa Hermreck
"We don't market heavily on campus, but we do encourage students and professors to come." Wiechert said.

Movie musicals take center stage again
By Lindsey Ramsey
lramsey@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
A flash of leg, unbelievable dance numbers and astounding vocals. The movie musical had it all.
With the box office success of modern movie musicals such as Moulin Rouge and Chicago, a younger generation has come to love what was once popularized by the MGM musicals of the '40s and '50s.
Matt Cohen, Lenexa graduate student in film, said musicals started making a comeback since Evita racked up an Academy Award for best song and two Golden Globes (best picture — musical or comedy and best lead actress going to Madonna).
But even then it didn't seem musicals
had hit the mainstream until Baz Luhrmann, the innovative director of Romeo & Juliet, came along with his wildly inventive, controversial musical. Moulin Rouge. This movie garnered praise from critics, but audiences were split straight down the middle.
"It was something different," said Kyle McGrath, Wichita sophomore. McGrath said he initially did not want to see the movie but he ended up liking it. "My expectations were low, so it surprised me by being good," he said.
Corinne Fetter, Lenexa freshman, wasn't as impressed.
"I thought it was cheesy, and I didn't really enjoy the renditions of the songs," she said. "I just didn't like the fantasy qualities."
"I think musicals will have a chance now because people were surprised they liked it so much."
Kristin Hall Overland Park sophomore
This year, Chicago has razzle dazzled its way on to screens and has the praise of critics.
Kristin Hall, Overland Park sophomore said she enjoyed the film.
"It had a good cast, and it was interesting," Hall said. "I think musicals will have a chance now because people were surprised they liked it so much."
But there are still skeptics when it comes to the quality of the modern movie musicals.
"Although I respect musicals — having been in a couple in high school — I can't say that I enjoy them any longer," said Nick Bates, Merriam junior.
Love them or hate them, musicals may have only danced their way back into the limelight temporarily.
"I think it's a mistake, after two successful musical films, to claim that the musical is back," Cohen said. "I strongly believe that Chicago's success was due to its previous life as a stage musical, so many people were already familiar with it, but I did love the film Chicago."

Network of old tunnels link to campus history
By Mindy Osborne
mosborne@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
Beneath the everyday activity on campus lies another world that plays an integral part in the University of Kansas' past and present.
It is the world of underground tunnels. Some students might not even know it exists. Others think it's just a myth.
Carlene Ellison, Wichita freshman, said she had heard rumors about the tunnels and that they ran under Allen Fieldhouse.
However, there is more truth and purpose to the tunnels than one may think. Now mostly decrepit and sealed off, the tunnels are located beneath campus buildings.
Constructed mainly for wiring and maintenance purposes, the tunnels are more than three miles long, connecting about 90 campus buildings and ranging from about five feet to eight feet in height.
Some tunnels are still used for utilities
around campus.
James Long, vice provost, said a large network spanned most of campus and was used for electricity, communications and heating purposes.
The oldest tunnels were made 150 years ago with additions to accommodate to the University's needs.
One tunnel runs under The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St., and catches water from the drainage basin on Ninth St.
Kelly Driscoll, one of the owners of The Crossing, was told from the previous owners that the tunnel was popular during the '60s when students would protest by the Kansas Union. When protests were broken up, they would use the tunnel to get away from cops.
"Since it was a downhill slope, they would use skateboards to ride down to the drainage system," Driscoll said. "Then they would change their shirts and walk back up the hill to the protest."

SEX
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7
Sex with loved one better for emotions
Sex isn't such a scary, mysterious word anymore. You've probably had so much sex education mixed in with your classes the past few semesters that you might as well apply for a double major.
But what exactly are you supposed to do with all that knowledge? Your sex life has probably improved. You might be more open to trying new things and less inhibited when it comes to reexamining traditional rules. But sex is only one part of life an important part.
As college students, we know that learning about a subject doesn't stop with knowledge of facts. Facts are a foundation upon which we build the ability to apply that knowledge to the world at large. In keeping with that tradition, this is the first of a series of what I'd like to call "Sex and ..." columns. So sit back, take notes and enjoy the first installment: "Sex and Love"
A few years ago, Italian scientists theorized that the brain chemistry of someone in love was similar to that of a person afflicted with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The scientists suggested that having sex with the object of your infatuation was soothing in the same way that scrubbing the kitchen floor can be gratifying for a compulsive cleaner.
P
There are a few flaws with that argument. People with the disorder sometimes loathe their obsessions but can't make themselves resist them. I could describe at least one of my past relationships the same way, but the sex was never great. Perhaps
COMMENTARY
Patrick Ross
pross@kansan.com
In the past, getting married first was the only acceptable way to have sex.
there are other reasons for sex and love go so well together.
For one, intimacy and knowledge of your partner comes with time and exploration. Falling in love comes quickly for some but takes years for others. Either way, there is a genuine wish to know your partner's mind and body.
Another reason having sex with the one you love can be tantalizing is that you know each other so well and want the other to feel all tingly in the naughty parts.
Casual sex, according to my own definition, is sex that involves no emotional commitment. Society, even today, looks askance at casual sex. We, as humans, spent a lot of time over the past few centuries restraining ourselves from our sexual impulses.
So, if sex when in love is so great, why is the divorce rate so high in our country? And why do couples who have been together for long periods of time cheat on each other and break up? Because casual sex is dangerous and exciting.
In the past, getting married first was the only acceptable way to have sex. Casual sex, therefore, could have its exciting roots in the forbidden nature of the act. Casual sex becomes even more forbidden — and possibly more exciting — when you're in a relationship with someone other than your partner du jour.
Sex, casual or otherwise, becomes even more complicated when it is confused with love.
I'm no psychologist, but one-night stands are certainly no substitute for love. Using them as such is a sure-fire way to make yourself feel depressed. Having sex with multiple partners to feel loved seems to stem from a fear of feeling deep emotions. Emotions can be tricky, but sex is a powerful thing. Misusing it can have disastrous results. Having sex when you're not ready can be even worse.
Love. Now you have a new word to add to your sexual vocabulary. It may seem simple that the two would be related to one another, but it's a complex issue that I urge you to explore.
Sex is great. Love is great. Together they're spectacular.
Ross is a Topeka freshman in journalism.

Rockin'it in Lawrence
Local bands perform multiple musical styles
Brian O'Connor
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
People left their seats to surround the stage as Salt the Earth set up for the last act of the night at The Bottleneck for its homecoming.
After a two week tour of the West Coast, Marty Bush, Lawrence, lead vocals and guitar, said it was nice to be back and have a great turnout.
Traveling around the country and marketing so your band's name is recognizable in other cities helps build fan bases, Bush said.
Salt the Earth sold-out of the approximately 300 T-shirts promoting the band during its tour. Between 200 and 300 people attended each show.
Practicing relentlessly, talking to venues,bugging labels and instant messaging on AOL are some strategies Salt the Earth has used to reach its success.
Ketley Weiss/Kansan
Salt the Earth isn't the only band in Lawrence residents pack the venues to hear. Below is a list of other bands rockin' it in our city:
"Make demos, get a good recording, get a van and get on the road," Bush said.
Editor's note: This is not a complete list of all local bands in Lawrence. Some were excluded because attempts to reach members were unsuccessful. Others, because members refused to respond to questions.

Pochi offers up the taste of Indonesia
Sandwiched between India Palace and 7th Heaven on East 10th Street is the franchised, family-owned restaurant, Pochi Tea Station.
KU graduate and co-owner Erlinda Tjhai and family, opened Pochi, (pronounced po-chee), four months ago in hopes of drawing in customers to taste the styles of their heritage — Indonesian cuisine.
EAT THIS
For those who have never tried Indonesian cuisine, imagine a galore of palatable spices ranging from sweet, spicy and savory all blending with diverse flavors from surrounding countries such as Singapore, India, Thailand and China.
Christina DiGiacomo cdigiacomo@kansan.com
"Indonesian cuisine is a cross between Indian food and an immense fusion of Asian-type flavors," said Tjhai.
Remembering the majestic flavors of curry, cumin, turmeric and cinnamon from childhood, Tjhai described her archipelago home of more than 15,000 islands where the food was truly a variety of flavors.
With the eclectic nature of the food itself, walking into Pochi is an experience like none other in Lawrence.
Stepping inside this intriguing bistro, you're immediately splashed with bright yellows and greens that fill the walls and vaulted ceilings.
POCHI TEA STATION ... B

Beneath lavishly round iridescent lamps are small tables, chairs, and a television that rings out the sounds of Asian rock.
The large Pochi menu is filled with diverse recipes from all of the many regions of Indonesia. Popular items such as Chicken Satay with a peanut dipping sauce are a wonderful introduction for the palate.
The chicken is threaded onto wooden skewers where the tastes of ginger, soy and sambal (an Indonesian chili paste) are cooled down with a creamy peanut sauce.
Beef Rendang, another specialty, is rich and bursting with flavors of turmeric, ginger and coconut.
More spicy items, such as Chicken Curry, erupt with a combination of flavors of breast meat, diced peppers and potatoes in a thick curry stew mixture, accompanied by perfect sticky Padang rice.
To drink, teas or juices such as the honey green tea or passion fruit juice can be served with or without tapioca pearls.
Here, the round chewy pearls (comparable to gummy bears) are placed on the bottom of the beverage, then it is served with a large straw for slurping the chewy pieces. (Note: the tapioca pearls taste nothing like tapioca in pudding).
Simpler items such as chicken and mushroom crepes, fried wonton pieces and tofu, pot stickers, fried bananas, flavored milks, teas, juices, fruit smoothies and even French fries are all great on their own.
It's most pleasing to know that all prices of each item range from $1.95 to $4.95 and service is quick.In addition, most of the dishes will please the healthconscious.
With Pochi Tea Station, experiencing the food and ambience is similar to taking a vacation to the world's melting pot.

Sequel turns stomachs,trickles irony
REVIEW
1
So begins Final Destination 2, a movie that can't wait for its stupidly defensive cast of forgettable characters to die spectacularly horrible deaths. As exploitive as Faces of Death, this sequel tests the gory limits of the teen horror flick, so the faint of heart and the weak of stomach should beware.
Stephen Shupe
sshupe@kansan.com
The previews for this surprisingly efficient and criminally fast-paced movie were less than promising, but that's probably because the good stuff is far too bloody to show on television.
It's the one-year anniversary of the Flight 180 tragedy that wiped out dozens of students from Mount Abraham High School. The survivors who cheated fate by skipping the flight have all been tracked down by Death even the hero of the original film, Alex Browning, was killed in the interim by a falling brick. Only Clear Rivers (Ali Larter, less bodacious and more schizophrenic than before) remains.
Kimberly Corman (A.J.Cook, doing cutely paranoid renditions of Jennifer Love Hewitt) and her horn-dog friends are road-tripping to a spring-break getaway for a week of sex and
drugs. Like Alex in the first film, Kimberly has a premonition of a devastating cataclysm expertly staged by director David R. Ellis except this time, it's a pile-up on the ground instead of an explosion in the air.
Kimberly freaks and manages to warn some of the victims, but it's too late for her friends, who are soon turned into flaming barbecue on the side of the highway.
Remember the bus that came out of nowhere in the first film to splatter a lead character into oblivion? Every death in Final Destination 2 provides the same kind of jolt. The movie works solely on the basis of its almost laughably high shock value.
The original characters were more sympathetic and better developed, but kudos to Ellis's casting director, who obviously has a knack for picking out a particular brand of actors bland enough to merit a good shellacking. The new film also benefits from not having to explain too much—the script quickly establishes that Death is pissed and then the mayhem ensues.
Final Destination was not a traditional horror movie and neither is this. No boogeyman hides in the shadows and most of the action takes place during daylight.
What the films have brought to the genre is a scary logic to the details that will lead to a character's demise — be it via home appliances, electrical disturbances or flying links of barbed wire.
Final Destination 2 is filled with the same kind of fun, in-your-face irony that set the first film apart. Where Alex heard John Denver crooning the country-boy strains of "Rocky Mountain High", Kimberly hears AC/DC wailing "Highway to Hell". This kind of fatalism alone would provide a gold mine for material for any number of sequels. Final Destination 3 could take a more euphemistic approach

Starring: Ali Larter, A.J. Cook and Tony Todd

with Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven."
Some may like their horror more psychological and with more-engaging players, but there's no denying this movie's braininess is in knowing exactly what will make its audience's eyeballs bulge. And Ellis isn't afraid to break the rules — he kills off a kid (this is the most disturbing image in a mainstream movie in a while) and even lets the T.B.G. (Token Black Guy) survive through the first hour.
The biodegradable bodies on display here seem to have been constructed out of putty, which is basically what they are in Ellis' hands.

Riot Act Pearl Jam Reviewed by Nate Harold nharold@kansan.com
"Can't Keep," the first track from Pearl Jam's seventh studio album, Riot Act, sets the mood for the rest of the record.
A slowly rising and dissonant acoustic guitar and drum intro leads into the familiar mumbling of the ever-pensive vocalist/guitarist Eddie Vedder. But
图
Contributed art
the song never rises to the climax that is expected. Instead, the band keeps listeners on a narrow wave of dynamics ranging from quiet to less quiet.
Has the band finally forsaken rock, opting instead for laid-back, experimental works? On the contrary; the album shows that the band has mastered the long-lost art of control in rock songwriting. Pearl Jam doesn't seem concerned with pummeling its audience for the sake of having a good time. Instead, the band focuses more on creating an atmosphere and using the deadly weapon of rock sparingly.
Throughout most of Riot Act, the band sticks to its slowly developed sound, continuing where previous albums Yield and Binaural left off. But tracks like "Bushleaguer" and "Thumbing My Way" stray from
the expected sound.
"Bushleaguer" is a biting critique of the president, featuring Vedder's spoken word delivery over the band's wandering background music.
Vedder's usual outspoken political beliefs are evident in lines such as, "He's not a leader / He's a Texas Leaguer / Swinging for the fence / Got lucky with a strike / Drilling for fear / Makes the job simple / Born on third / Thinks he got a triple."
"Thumbing My Way" is a lazy, relaxed folk song complete with upright bass and brushed drums. This song epitomizes the dark, lyrical tone of the album with lines like "I let go of the rope / Thinking that's what held me back / And in time I've realized / It's now wrapped around my neck."
In addition to Vedder, drummer Matt Cameron, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready are given the opportunity to showcase their songwriting abilities throughout Riot Act.
Each member contributed to at least one song lyrically or musically, giving the album a more diverse feel. Each track contrasts the previous one.
The standout writer of the band, aside from Vedder, is former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron. Cameron contributed to tracks like the poppy, meter-shifting "Cropduster." He shows he hasn't lost his appreciation for the odd-time, signature rock that made Soundgarden popular.
With Riot Act, Pearl Jam has hit its stride and risen above mainstream contemporaries with intelligent and thoughtful songwriting that continues to improve with each release.

Soundtrack for the motion picture 'Biker Boyz'
Various Artists
Reviewed by Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
For a movie as unimaginative as Biker Boyz, which is one Vin Diesel short of another Fast and the Furious knock-off, the natural outcome is an equally unimaginative soundtrack. Such a relationship is true in the case of the Biker Boyz CD.
Featuring kings of the current bland rotation of mainstream rap and the heavily played-out rap-rock genre, the soundtrack piles on predictable and turgid tracks throughout. It has one standout track, one decent track and another that gets only halfway there.
Possibly the most intriguing track, at least initially, is the huggable thug Ja Rule in a bizarre collaboration with Metallica. If Metallica's albums since the 1991 selftitled effort didn't hammer home the amount of a struggle music has become for them, the band's work on "We Did It Again" should prove it.
It is difficult to say exactly what both artists are trying on this track, a veritable tug-of-war between conflicting interests of ponderous heavy metal and guttural voicing by Ja Rule. Either way, both artists fall short of producing anything that effectively combines both genres as Aerosmith and Run DMC once did.
Other tracks include an uninspired effort in "Ride" by Redman featuring E3 that typifies the derivative nature of many current mainstream rap acts. Rap-rock favorites
P. O.D. lean heavily on the rap side with Crystal Method's remix of "Boom." Papa Roach ineffectively follows suit on "Don't Look Back."
The real gem here comes from Grammy nominee Meshell Ndegeocello's guitar and vocal piece "Lilliquoi Moon." This laidback and sentimental tune showcases Ndegeocello's instrumental and vocal talents — two skills conspicuously absent in
the rest of the soundtrack.
Former Follow For Now front man David Ryan Harris contributes a decent but not outstanding track, "Don't

Look Down." The track effectively plays in a funeral scene and serves as the only other track worth listening to.
Mos Def nearly breaks out of his lackluster pattern of unimaginative rap with his strings-laden "Kalifornia." Unfortunately, he has trouble escaping the confines of unoriginality that punctuate the soundtrack when the refrain of the song has Mos Def singing Tupac Shakur's "California Love."
For fans of the MTV rap and rap-rock scene, this album might be worth considering.
Otherwise, the only favor this album does is leave off contributions by Biker Boyz cast member Kid Rock.

Opening band's performance steals the show
Vendetta Red blew away The Juliana Theory Thursday night.
The opening act defied the norm of frequently leaving concert-goers scratching their heads and wondering why they have to sit through the sets of unknown bands.
Following Vendetta Red, The Juliana Theory performance at the Granada seemed almost anti-climactic. Such an assessment of the show does The Juliana Theory little justice because it still played a solid show.
The show started when Vendetta Red took the stage and pounded out an abbreviated 25-minute set that seemed to last for the blink of a strobe-light shutter.
With Zach Davidson taking the microphone appearing as a poor man's Robert Plant from a distance, the band hammered

Midway through the set, Davidson underscored the normal role and perils of an opening act — a mold his band easily broke through.
Energy unparalleled through the rest of the evening punctuated Red's performance.
Drummer Justin Cronk's performance inspired memories of a Nirvana-era Dave Grohl behind the kits.
The Seattle-based band has toured nonstop for most of the past two years and has showed no signs of fatigue.
The Juliana Theory opened with "To the Tune of 5,000 Screaming Children" and switched immediately to "Is Patience Still Waiting?"
Both tracks appear on the band's previous album Understand the Dream Is Over. The band released its newest album,
The Juliana Theory played about one-third of its set from the new album. Bassist Joshua Kosker said afterward that the crowd response to the new material was encouraging.
Love. Tuesday.
The crowd sang along with older favorites such as "Into The Dark," especially after lead singer Brett Detar rallied the crowd's enthusiasm.
Compared to Vendetta Red, members of The Juliana Theory looked statuesque and generated less intensity.
The show was one of the few exceptions to the popular belief that opening acts stand in the way for the show everyone wants to see.

Relationship comedy lost on male audience
REVIEW
See my picture? It's the one right next to this review ... yeah, that's it. Glasses, beard, shaggy hair: That's me. So it should be pretty obvious that I'm a dude, and therefore definitely not the target audience to read Do You Love Me or Am I Just Paranoid?: The Serial Monogamist's Guide To Love, by Carina Chocano. But, nonetheless, in the spirit of the upcoming Valentine's Day, I gave it a shot.
Regardless of target audiences, Do You Love Me or Am I Just Paranoid? takes a different approach to the relationship guide. Rather than taking a serious tone akin to romance advice guides such as Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, Chocano opts for a humorous approach.
Consider chapters such as "How to Flirt" and "What to Expect when Expecting a Call." In the chapter "When Thinking too much is not Enough," she lampoons people's tendencies to think too much
about every detail of a relationship and make mountains out of molehills. There's a part of me that wants to wonder if maybe I'm just not getting the joke here, but I think the more likely explanation is that most of these jokes just aren't that funny.
Regardless, Chocano should be given some credit for trying to create a different type of relationship-advice guide. Even though she falls short most of the time, you have to admire her ambition at least a little.

That sort of sums up the whole book right there: "completely unreliable," sort of clever, but on the whole not very funny or worth the time it takes to read.
This book seems to be getting a fair amount of press since its release in January, including a large spread in salon.com (for whom Chocano writes on a regular basis). Most of this probably has to do with people trying to capitalize on up coming Valentine's Day, but most of the press seems unwarranted.
Contributed art
There's nothing that exceptional here—Chocano's strategy for relationship advice seems to be just to joke about what people naturally worry about. Most people know that worrying doesn't really accomplish much, so why waste time and money on a book telling you what you already know?

God places Fred Phelps on 'no call' list
Next time Fred Phelps calls God on the gold telephone, he may be subject to a fine of up to $1,250. A new policy allows troubled deities to voluntarily place their names on a list of heavenly powers who would prefer not to receive phone calls. Hell, A Place Where Everyone Knows Your Name, and a car factory in Detroit that "builds 'em like they used to," are considering implementing a similar policy.
In a recent literal statement, God thundered, "I don't have time for certain kinds of people. I only have so much space in my PalmPilot, which already contains two million entries for 'Me, Why' and I can't get the boy to take decent messages while I'm out. Hopefully this will save me some time, because, as it stands, I haven't had a chance to rest in, like, six days." Phelps was unavailable for comment, as his secretary informed us that he was currently in "the closet of self-loathing."

Mrs. E's teams up with humane society
By Lars Fakenberg
beak@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A newly introduced canine cuisine has Daisy Hill residents concerned about the recent business partnership of Ekdahl Dining Commons and the Lawrence Humane Society.
The partnership, designed to reduce pet overpopulation and improve Mrs. E's quality of meat, debuted last Saturday during Mrs.E's annual "Vietnamese New Years" Feast.
Mrs. E's employee Earl LeFleur said many students considered the new meat an improvement over the old.
"I like to let them try a bite before I tell them what it is," LeFleur said. "Most of them are okay with it, but there are a few who go straight to the bathroom."
CH
Sara Smythe, Lawrence freshman, called the meal "shocking." "Dogs are supposed to be man's best friend," she said. "You don't eat your best friend."
Sara Smythe, Lawrence freshman, called the meal "shocking."
"It's shocking, I agree," said Mrs. E. "Shockingly affordable." Mrs. E said the humane society provided an astounding variety of new dishes. "We now proudly serve poole noodles, terrier teriyaki, along with a variety of dachsund delicacies."
The new meal has rattled the spirits of dog lovers far beyond the hill. In a public statement, Snoop Dogg called the new meal plan "devastating."
"First I quit the weed, and now this," Dogg said. "Bad year for Snoop."
Snoop was joined by Pfife and Nate Dogg in protesting in front of Mrs. E's yesterday. Sean Connery also showed up, but left after learning no Scottish Terriers were being harmed.

Tut, Lawrence pug, is lowered into a pot by a Mrs. E's chef. "Maybe if more students were allowed to have pets, this would never have happened." Tut said. "But what am I worried about? All dogs go to heaven."
Editor's note: No dogs were harmed in the making of this story.
While protests were carried out in front of the dining hall, Mrs. E sat in the kitchen wearing an embroidered fuchsia "E.Z. Ryder," apron, apparently unphased by the sounds of hisses and yelps.
"There's such a fine line between an opportunist and a visionary," said Mrs. E between licks of soft serve and drags from a Doral Light 100. "As for the charges against me, I am unconcerned."
GTAs bare more than brains in calendar
MARRIAGE OF THE WILD
By Kendra Holiday
beak@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Following the popularity of the "Women of KU" calendar, another group of campus students has decided to offer its own tribute to the months of the year.
Kansan file photo
This January marked the debut of the "Graduate Students of KU" calendar, a full-sized almanac dedicated to this underappreciated-and now underclothed-group.
Skip, a graduate student from Pink, Okla., flexes his sass muscles for the "Graduate Students of KU" calendar. "He was a joy to work with until he took off his pants," photographer Billie Snood said of Skip, who preferred not to give his last name for privacy reasons.
"My friends and I noted that the University was recognizing outstanding teachers and researchers, but graduate students weren't getting the attention they deserved," said Rebecca Kuhn, graduate instructor in sociology. "We felt the time was ripe for putting the 'T and A' back in GTA."
Originally slated as a "Professors of KU" calendar, the concept was changed when faculty repeatedly sent their graduate teaching assistants to do their work.
"Two hundred assignments to grade, an exam to write, and then they wanted a fullfrontal nude shot," said Kevin Rand, graduate instructor in psychology. "I wasn't sure I was up for the task."
Rand was. So much so that he became Mr. July and August-the two longest months of the year.
Former graduate students lamented the missed opportunity.
"I spent six years at KU only being valued for my intellect, but I'm eye-candy too!" said Alan Newton, a 2001 PhD recipient. "If only a calendar like this had been around before, I sure I would have received the respect that I deserve."
Models were chosen through random sampling. Scott Eidelman, Graduate Research Assistant and principal investigator for the project, said it was important the models be as representative of the graduate student population as possible.
"We assumed most students were already familiar with standard deviations," he said. "We wanted to give them more."
Undergraduate reaction to the calendar has been a combination of surprise and dismay. Mary Gibbons, Overland Park
sophomore said, "I don't think that's what my Slavic languages TA meant by 'Pole.'
"I always wondered what my engineering GTA would look like in a bikini, surrounded by mounds of paperwork and a slide rule," said Jay Martin, Hutchinson junior. "Now I know, and he's hot."
Dave Feldman, Graduate instructor in psychology, dismissed comments that the calendar was exploitive of GTAs. "You want to talk exploitation? How about poor health benefits and increased class loads," he said. "That's exploitation."
The calendar will be available in the Kansas and Burge Union bookstores. GTAs will be available to sign copies during office hours.

The opening for the game is hilarious. Footage of dedicated fans supporting their teams screaming the EA Sports motto, "It's in the game." I even saw the Kansas cheerleaders and a Jayhawk giving a shout-out right in front of Strong Hall. But once that ends, the game starts to go downhill.
The graphics for the game aren't up to par with the other games for Playstation 2.
The characters are created as close as they can to look like the actual college players, but they still could have done better (for example, Jeff Graves is white with red hair and Moulaye Niang has an afro). The

The controls for the game are another bump that players have to get around. The basic controls aren't the problem, but the combinations are tough to use sometimes. For instance, trying to execute a decent spin move after faking out a defender can be an irritating experience. Before I can even make it to the basket, I either lose the ball in the process, or run smack into another defender and get called for charging.
The alley-oop system for the game was frustrating. You have to quickly change to the teammate receiving the alley-oop and
put the right amount of pressure on the button to make it successfully. I never even made one.
I remember one play when the computer was on defense and all of the defenders just moved to the side. I found that odd. Why aren't these guys doing their job, like good players?
The computer also gets bullish with the intentional fouls when they are behind. I understand when you want the guy to go to the line, but you need to make sure he gets a shot off first. An intentional foul every second is not something players are looking forward to.
One of the main features this game bragged about in commercials was the freestyle control. Players had the option to use crossovers to fake out opponents and spin moves to get by the opposition. However, the freestyle control had no reason to be a hyped feature for this game.
For starters, if a player wanted to utilize the freestyle control, they had to use the right analog joystick. I found it to be a lot easier to just use the buttons to pull off freestyle moves. The freestyle controls are only

The ability to use the directional pad to change plays came in handy to find a defense that suited you. Being able to change from double-teaming to half-court man press can be useful when you need to find a defense for different teams.
Overall, this game is a waste of time to even play. There isn't a lot in the game that will keep a player interested for a buy. A rental or perhaps just borrowing from a friend is all a person needs.

Health officials debate vaccine
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For the first time since the early 1970s, civilians in Kansas will receive the small-pox vaccine.
Today in Topeka, 11 Kansas Department of Health and Environment employees will be the first Kansans to be vaccinated.
On Tuesday, the federal government sent 3.000 doses of the smallpox vaccine to the state of Kansas to prepare against the possibility of smallpox as a biological weapon.
The University of Kansas Medical Center, in Kansas City, Kan., Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and Lawrence Memorial Hospital have mixed feelings about giving the vaccine to their employees, however.
The Med Center has decided not to participate in phase one of the vaccination program. Phase one allows health care workers to be vaccinated on a voluntary basis.
"Our focus here has been on patient safety, to a degree, and, to a degree, employee safety, too," H. William Barkman, chief of staff of the Med Center, said.
The Med Center treats many patients

that have lowered immune systems, and the Med. Center is concerned for the patients' safety around employees who have received the vaccine.Barkman said.
The vaccine contains the live vaccinia virus, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Barkman said even though the risk of serious side effects was low with the vaccine, the Med Center was worried about who would financially cover employees if they did have a reaction because it is on a volunteer basis. Barkman said the Med Center wanted more answers to its concerns before it agreed to the program.
"There are more risks than benefits at this point," Barkman said.
Additionally, a person can be vaccinated after exposure to smallpox, so Barkman said he thought there was no need for urgency at this point.

Shawl said he thought he had worked out all the program's bugs, but he will ask students what they think of the system after the first exam.
Shawl gives his Contemporary Astronomy students a quiz in almost every class period. The students complete the quiz online before class and then do the quiz again in collaboration with permanently assigned groups. The groups give their answers through the transmitters. With this method, Shawl said he doesn't have to deal with scan-

"At first, they were kind of hindering because he still didn't know how the program worked," Kerri Henderson, Topeka freshman, said. "That took up a lot of class and wasted a lot of time. I think once they work better, they're a pretty cool thing."
Students studying astronomy with Steve Shawl won't be raising their hands to answer questions anymore.
Shawl, professor of astronomy and physics, is using new infrared transmitters with lettered buttons to get immediate student feedback and answers to daily quizzes during his classroom lectures.

University renowned for study of bees
By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
In a room tucked away on the second floor of Snow Hall, 750,000 bees are sorted and labeled in wooden cases carefully stored in tall metal cabinets. The air lingers with the smell of naphthalene, a strong chemical used to protect the precious millimeter-sized occupants from museum pests.
Victor Gonzalez, Bogota, Columbia graduate student in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, examines an orchid bee. The large orchid bees are from Central and South America and Gonzales said they are more rare than other types of bees because of their size and bright colors.
Next door, in room 256, a retired professor sits in his office. Surrounding him is a library of books that stack from floor to ceiling. This room contains something rare; a near complete collection of literature on bees.
The professor in the office is Charles Michener, a man known throughout the world as an authority on bees. Much of his work since he came to the University of Kansas in 1948, and the research of current faculty, has given the University a strong reputation in the study of bees.
"As far as bees, people claim, probably incorrectly, that we have the largest bee collection in the world," Michener said. "The reason we don't know is we don't know exactly how many species we have or how many species others have. It has become a very important bee collection."
One student came to the University solely on the reputation of the its bee research. Victor Gonzalez, Bogota, Colombia, doctoral student, read Michener's work, whom he refers to as "the father of the bees," when he was a student in Colombia.
"He attracted my attention," Gonzalez said. "Once I finished, I decided to come to Kansas."
Gonzalez's focus is studying bees in the tropics. He plans to return to Colombia once he completes his doctoral work.
"I want to go back to Colombia and study the species there," said Gonzalez. "We don't know what we have in our country."
Chip Taylor, professor of biological sciences, teaches a course on the biology of honeybees. Only about half the students are ever stung in his class, he said.
"It's amusing starting out the course and students don't realize the class is going to be a hands-on experience," Taylor said. "By the next class two or three students are missing. They never come back."
Taylor named four professors, including himself, who have continued the tradition of bee emphasis that Michener began almost half a century ago, Michael Engel, Rudolf Jander, and Deborah Smith, all in the division of biological sciences, bring a different

Wolvington said they were a huge draw to the museum. "People will come in and say, 'I'm just running in to check out the bees. I'm not looking at anything else.'" he said.
Wolvington is working on updating the hive exhibit with an interactive computer screen where visitors can view bee dances, a Web page on bees and a program on pollen collection. He hopes to have the changes made by summer.
Since his retirement 13 years ago, Michener has written a book entitled The Bees of the World published in 2000. He still keeps an office in Snow Hall assisting students and professors with questions.

Graffiti artists inspired by hip-hop culture
DJZ-Trip, Zach Sciacca, scratches records at Project Groove its first anniversary at The Pool Room, 925 Iowa St. Sciacca first entered hip-hop culture as a graffiti writer in Queens, N.Y.

Each Saturday night at his home in Queens, N.Y., Zach Sciacca, then 14, would sit between two radios recording some of the rawest hip-hop he had ever heard.
"It got under my skin and made me want to draw more, be more creative," he said.
The pulse of the heavy hip-hop beats coming through both ears rushed through his veins.
During the competing radio shows' 9 p.m. to midnight slot, he'd perfect his
graffiti tag in his drawing book.
For Sciacca, it would have been a long week of withdrawal had he not recorded the master mix radio shows. He continued drawing until Saturday night came, and once again the creative juices would flow into his drawing book.
Eventually, he took to the streets writing graffiti but equally became hooked on the music.
"Once I realized that the music and

sciacca came to Lawrence last Friday night to perform with DJ P, real name Danny Phillips, at Project Groove's one-

Last Thursday at La Tasca, 943 Massachusetts St., he surprised others when he busted out an eight-rotation windmill, said Edwin Morales, Lawrence resident.
Morales coordinates La Tasca's Thursday night formatting of '80s music. Through his production company, DownPlay Productions, he also organizes Project Groove.

Hemenway urges funding outlines reform categories
Chancellor Robert Hemenway told the House Education Budget Committee yesterday that reductions and unfunded costs are hurting the University of Kansas.
In fiscal year 2003, the University lost $18.8 million, or 8 percent of its budget, to these reductions and unfunded costs, he said.
Hemenway outlined five categories for reform: purchasing, financial management, facilities management, printing and surplus property. He also urged the governor and the legislature to maintain current levels of state funding and avoid further budget cuts; provide a 6 percent operation grant increase for state universities, community colleges and technical schools; and fully fund the third year of faculty salary increases promised under previous state legislation.
"Every legislative session, the chancellor gives a presentation to certain committees in the House and Senate," said Lynn Bretz, University Relations director. "He's doing everything he can to advocate maintaining funding for KU."

Board of Regents member gives $1 million to university
Board of Regents member William R. Docking and his wife, Judy, have committed a $1 million gift to the University of Kansas.
The gift to the Kansas University Endowment Association will be used in several functions. Half the gift will support the William and Judy Docking
Teaching Professorship Fund for the School of Business. Deepak Datta, professor of strategic management, has received the professorship.
Of the remaining money, $400,000 will go to the William and Judy Docking Law Scholarship by fall of 2005. The remaining $100,000 will go to a fund in the couple's name that provides unrestricted support to the University. Docking received a law degree and an MBA from the University in 1977.
The Kansas University Endowment Association is thrilled about the Dockings' gift and what it will do for the University, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
"The teaching professorship will reward professors for research," Scarfe said. "The additional law scholarship will help in attracting and retaining top law students to the law schools."

Hacking experts say KU computer systems easy to crack
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
kansas staff writer
Cory Bosley isn't surprised the University of Kansas is having hacking problems.
In fact, he said last month's hacking of the personal information of 1,450 international students from a University test file would not have been too hard to pull off.
"I could have probably done this," Bosley, Topeka sophomore, said.
Bosley has dabbled in hacking and worked as a systems administrator at Harvard University. He now monitors security for a Michigan Web hosting company.
But Bosey is confident that even people without his level of expertise could have hacked into the University's systems.
Perry Alexander, associate professor in electrical engineering and computing services, said that using Microsoft systems absolutely made KU's network more susceptible to hacking.
"Microsoft systems have a high level of usability, functionality." Alexander said. "Securing their systems take away from their functionality."
KU officials attributed last month's hacking incident to the Microsoft operating system.
David Molnar, Harvard University student and security consultant for several Web companies, said Microsoft systems didn't necessarily have more holes than other operating systems such as Macintosh or Linux. Rather, the problem is in the popularity of Microsoft systems. Molnar said. Because more people use Microsoft systems, more people can hack into them.
In waging war against hacking, universities typically struggle to meet a balance between protecting files and keeping computer systems open for academia, Bosley said.
"From my experience, systems administrators at universities are wary of taking extra security measures — like firewalls — that might better protect them," Bosley said. "Academic environments are typically more open. You'd have to give something up for more security."
Alexander said systems used by the federal government didn't typically face hacking incidents like KU's because they did not have to keep their networks as open.
"Government networks leave no way to get from the network we use to the network they use," Alexander said.
Jeff Lanza, special agent in the FBI's Kansas City office, said the investigation was progressing.
At universities, the desire to share information often takes precedence over the need to secure data, Alexander said.
"We're following on the trail and awaiting information that has been requested." Lanza said. "Everyone is cooperating."
While the FBI is optimistic about finding who was behind KU's hacking, Alexander said he
was unsure a balance between security and accessibility could be found.
Bosley said balancing how open to make a system with security concerns was an age-old battle that could be both time consuming and arduous. The correct balance between system security and system access has not been found, he said.
"You can stop all the car accidents in the world by taking away everyone's keys," Alexander said. "It's always going to be a question of what you're willing to give up."

Senate bill aims to prevent identity theft
Measure seeks more identification when applying for driver's license
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
The Kansas Senate passed a bill last week to help authorities prevent identity theft.
The bill would require state residents applying for a driver's license to provide a social security number or taxpayer identification number.
After July 2004, the bill would require a color photograph of the applicant be taken and verified before it is put on the license.
All of the information will be stored in a Department of Motor Vehicles database.
The bill is awaiting approval in the state house before being sent to the governor for ratification.
Now residents can prove their
identity by providing a document such as a birth certificate or expired license along with one other form of identification ranging from a diploma to a hunting license to a KUID.
"I supported it because people need to prove evidence of a social security number in light of what's been going on the last few years," said Sen. Mark Buhler, (R-Lawrence). "This is just another way to confirm that you are who you say you are."
Although the bill is intended to make identity theft more difficult, the bill's opponents think storing all that information in one system could be a target for identity theft like the test files that were hacked into last month at the University of Kansas.
Sen. Kay O'Connor (R-Olathe) said she was concerned that more people could access the information.
But the potential for hacked identity thefts isn't the only part of the bill that causes concern for O'Connor and other opponents.
"I supported [the bill] because people need to prove evidence of a social security number in light of what's been going on the last few years,"
Mark Buhler State Senator
A provision in the Senate version would allow the state Child Support Enforcement Office access to the social security numbers of driver's license applicants to track down those who owe child support.
Janet Schalansky, secretary of the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, told senators that Kansas was already out of compliance with federal child support legislation because that office doesn't currently have access to the social security numbers.
If Kansas remains out of compliance, the state risks losing $31
million a year in federal funding. Schalansky said.
"I don't like being blackmailed by the federal government who are threatening to withhold aid from us if we don't comply on this," O'Connor said. "Ninety percent of the population who aren't deadbeat dads don't need this information out there for the SRS and people besides the SRS to see. But we don't need a national ID card."
Although those federal dollars are a lucrative draw in these tight economic times, finances weren't the final straw in making Buhler one of 32 senators who voted in favor of the amendment. It was making Kansas more secure.
"Nationally there's obviously a heightened interest in these issues," Buhler said.
"Locally it maybe doesn't apply as much right now, but it could help prevent something like that from happening here in the future."

University launches new security Web site
By Jessica Hood jhood@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The recent hacking of student files at the University of Kansas has spurred the early launch of a new Web site on information security.
The site, www.security.ku.edu, is an effort to help students protect themselves against identity theft and other security attacks. The Web site was launched Jan. 29.
The Web site includes information on what to do if there is reason to suspect identity theft and 10 tips to protect against identity theft.
"This site is one aspect of a security awareness program," said Jenny Mehmedovic, coordinator for information technology policy. "We're trying to position it as the central resource on the subject."
The site also includes a link to the University's site about identity theft. The identity theft Web site provides resources and a contact list for students who think their identities may have been stolen.
Melanie Curtis, Pratt senior, is unsure of how effective a Web site
will be in helping students in the area of identity theft.
"It's a good first step for the University." Curtis said. "But a Web site can only provide so much information. A resource office on campus maybe be a good direction for KU to look toward."
Mehmedovic said the University had been planning to create the Web site since last fall. Because of the hacking, she said, the University moved up the launch date about a month.
"We wanted to go ahead and roll it out let students know that materials were coming," she said.
The Web site is still under construction,but, once completed,it will contain information on security information,the rules of computer usage at the University and tools for protection of a computer.
Students should check the site frequently during the next month to see what has been added, Mehmedovic said. The Web site will continue to be updated over the next few months, she said.

PERSPECTIVE
Headlines forbode war with Iraq
COMMENTARY
February is here, and the Bush war machine marches onward. Diplomacy may seem to be the current focus of the administration, but reading between the headlines reveals the full picture on the nearing, and seemingly expected, war with Iraq.
Cooper Wood
opinion@kansan.com
The U.S. government is certainly treating it as inevitable.
Regardless of opposition at home or abroad, a war with Iraq is coming, and everything the administration does is geared toward that violent conclusion. Only if you connect the dots will you see that the recent emphasis on diplomacy has little impact on the administration's attitudes toward starting a war with Iraq.
The parliament is also scheduled to vote Feb. 18 on whether to allow the U.S. to use its territory and bases as a staging ground for an invasion into northern Iraq. This approval is seen as inevitable and assured, which would be an enormous victory for the U.S. military. This would allow the creation of a northern front in an attack on Iraq, allowing for a double-edged attack from north and south in the march toward Baghdad.
Following the presentation by Colin Powell at the U.N. Wednesday, nations that had previously balked at supporting U.S. action are starting to fall in line behind the war drums, which is exactly the response Powell and Bush were looking for. Turkey's parliament voted Thursday to allow the U.S. to upgrade its air bases and naval ports, greatly aiding military capabilities for a conflict with Iraq.
Headline: Pentagon considering cremation of bio-weapon casualties from Iraq war.
Headline: Turkey allows U.S. full usage of their military bases for a possible war with Iraq.
Headline: U.S. connects Envoy killing to Iraqi based Al Qaeda cell.
The Pentagon is considering a policy to allow the cremation of American military casualties for the first time, out of concern that Saddam Hussein will use chemical weapons on a large scale against a U.S. invasion. This could involve the construction of a crematorium in the Middle East, allowing the military to contain harmful biological or chemical agents without infecting other military personnel or civilians.
The military is preparing to deal with its wounded and killed. Stories like these, coming in the wake of national grief stemming from the Columbia tragedy, seem to escape the American people, who fail to realize that a war with Iraq means hundreds, if not thousands, of American deaths. A war in Iraq will make the deaths of the Columbia seven seem like a miniscule loss of life.
In yet another move to morph Saddam into Bin Laden, the Powell presentation included intelligence from the interrogation of a captured Al Qaeda operative, who informed U.S. officials that the killing of American diplomat Laurence Foley last October was an
Lance Menley for The University Daily Kansas
assassination planned and coordinated by a well developed Al Qaeda cell operating out of Baghdad.
Powell said this cell was being harbored by the Iraqis and that the capture of the operative and discovery of this cell alerted authorities to planned attacks against as many as six European countries. This included the recent capture of Al Qaeda operatives planning a Ricin gas attack in Britain.
Connecting Iraq to Al Qaeda allows the U.S. government to press forward with the war as part of the fight against terrorism; a connection seen as spurious by most of the international community.
The U.S. seems to be pushing the diplomatic front as of late, with Powell leading the charge at the U.N. Wednesday and Congress Thursday.
The truth becomes blurred by America's indifference to international opinion and its public reluctance to wait for international support. France, Germany, and those opposed to the war seem all too aware of this fact, and their continued opposition seems to be the last barrier to invasion, as even Russia and China have softened their opposition to war following Powell's presentation.
The countdown to war has begun, as neither side seems inclined to move, and the U.S. and its increasingly supportive allies continue to prepare for conflict, with or without U.N. support.
The international community, the concerned public and Iraq all seem to be hearing the same thing. War is coming.
Boom.
Can you hear the beating of the U.S. war drum?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Confusing the issue
In the Jan. 24 The University Daily Kansan, David Gittrich claimed "science has proven beyond dispute that human life starts at conception." This is false. Science has not proven that human life starts at conception for the very simple reason that science has proven that human life does not start at conception
Fetuses and, for that matter, newlyfertilized human ova are, of course, alive and human. But the sperm and the unfertilized ovum that are the precursors of the human-fertilized ovum are also alive and human. Human life does not begin at conception. It existed before conception.
Should we therefore agree with Beth Peterson's claim in the Jan. 27 Kansan that "no one knows when life, full human life begins"? Beth Peterson's claim is true, for the notion of 'full human life,' or, for that matter, 'human life,' is sufficiently imprecise that we would not be able to determine at what point in the history of the evolution of primates full, human life begins. However, truth is obtained at the price of utter irrelevance to the issue of abortion. We know that human life begins neither at birth, nor at some time during pregnancy, nor at conception, nor when one is old enough to drink legally, nor at any other time that would give aid and comfort either to the pro-abortion or to the anti-abortion side of the abortion issue. The abortion issue is not really about the issue of when human life begins.

Don Marquis, professor of philosophy
After we, the recording industry, give away $150 million and let people obtain free music via file-sharing programs, we're seeing the words "Take Revenge on Recording Industry" in print. The average consumer wants the same quality product, but he does not want to pay for it.
Online distribution IS the distribution method of the future. Record labels want online distributions to happen because they won't have to pay to physically manufacture and ship the CDs.
music: disrespectful. For the past two years, the Recording Industry Association of America has incessantly sought the aid of the federal government to help shut down the illegal piracy of copyrighted musical compositions. But the federal government kept denying the industry any assistance in this matter. To make matters worse, a couple of months ago the federal government ruled against the industry, requiring them to "pay back" society for over pricing CDs. What the article didn't mention was that only about 47 percent of the industry's $143 million payment would be in the form of cash reimbursement. The other portion of the money will be in the form of CDs distributed to not-for-profit, charitable, governmental or public entities to be used for music-related purposes or programs.
Your favorite recording artist only gets paid about $47,800 for every $5.49 million that it makes for the recording company. It costs several million dollars to properly launch and release a professional quality commercial recording. Only one out of every five records released make its money back.
Just because music pervades our life as ubiquitous doesn't mean that it's in the public domain.
Contrary to popular belief, the recording industry is not anti-technology. The recording industry is simply anti-stealing.

Women: Protest, don't fight
Jesse Atwell, Verdi senior
In response to Maggie Koerth's commentary entitled, "Women in draft necessary part of quest to end discrimination," she argues for "gender equality" in the military draft.
She writes that if women want equality, they should be drafted just like men and be willing to do the dirty work of fighting war.
While her argument asserts that we should not accept the dichotomous construction of "an unreliable, delicate womanhood and a macho, war-loving manhood," is extremely important, I think it would be more helpful to transcend the construction that anyone at all - male or female - should do mandatory military service.
If one is interested in promoting a feminist agenda or a humanist agenda, for that matter, our efforts would be better expended resisting and transforming the values that promote militarism. This includes working to end violence against women, child abuse, poverty, racism, homophobia and other forms of oppression.
If we're going to "stand up and fight" for anything it should be in protest against a war in a country of 24 million citizens who have already been devastated enough by unjust U.N. sanctions.
Loretta Pyles. Lawrence doctoral student
By accepting the notion that the draft is inevitable and that true equality would mean women's participation in it, we have been lured in by a seductive patriarchal narrative, hook, line and sinker.

Answer call for mentors
All students should aim to give two years, over the course of their lives, to a child.
Along with discussing war on Iraq and the faltering economy in his State of the Union Address, President Bush called for Americans to commit at least two years to volunteering. Specifically, Bush would like to see that every child who is in need of a mentor gets one.
The University of Kansas provides an excellent breeding ground for mentors. Just by being in college, a student embodies possible future goals for a young child.
In the United States, 3.3 million young people participate in the Boys and Girls Club after-school programs. Half of these children are from single-parent homes and 40 percent are from families with annual incomes of less than $22,000. In Lawrence, The Boys and Girls Clubs serve about 50 children each at nine elementary schools.
Since 1990, the Center for Community Outreach, has helped KU students become active citizens in Lawrence. The center has four youth programs focused on college students mentoring elementary and high-school children. Ten other youth programs serve young people in Lawrence. These programs offer children tutoring, music, art and a chance to spend time with a "big kid."
College is a time of learning and preparing for the future. Mentoring a child is a skill most students already possess.
Bush said that one of the roles of government was to ask people to serve their community by finding a program that would make a difference.
The center also has information about volunteer opportunities with the homeless, senior citizens and people with disabilities.
"It doesn't matter how big or small," Bush said. "What matters is your love and your energy and your participation."

the-moment, everywhere-you can-do-it style. Lawrence's graffiti scene, he says, is a thing of the past, though. Two Lawrence graffiti writers, whose art impressed Morales, have graduated from the University of Kansas.
Vincent Pigno, Lawrence resident, breakdances in the middle of a crowd at Project Groove's one-year anniversary show last Friday at The Pool Room, 925 Iowa St.
He sees the current graffiti scene as minimal and thinks there needs to be more.
Andrew Giessel, Larned senior and former graffiti writer, also followed the older writers when he first began writing. Although he doesn't write anymore, he keeps close tabs on the scene. The strong connection between graffiti and hip-hop music exists for him as well.
Giessel came to Lawrence three years ago with a tainted view of graffiti—and the hip-hop culture it was originally created in.
"I there was no exposure to any type of decent music, period," he said. "Let alone hip-hop."
Any exposure to hip-hop growing up in Larned, a town of
4,000 people about two hours northwest of Wichita, were glimpses of Yo! MTV Raps of the mid-1990s at his grandma's house when she left the room. When he came to the University, through sources such as KJHK's Breakfast for Beat-lovers, he found himself loving the hip-hop culture and felt comfortable inside of it.
"In a college town like Lawrence, there's a great turnover in all different aspects of the entertainment society and artistic culture," Giessel said. "So graffiti, in particular, is always going on. And whether or not it's here or in a town like Larned or in town like New York City, it's not going away."

"I suspect a little farther down the line we'll get all this sorted out and move forward."
As time goes on and it gets solid answers to its questions, the Med Center will probably accept the vaccine, Barkman said.
Barkman said.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department as an agency will participate in the vaccination program, said Kim Ens, disease control program coordinator.
It is up to the individual
nurses to decide to participate, she said.
In order to prevent as many problems with the vaccine as possible, Ens said, the department would educate the people who chose to get the vaccine about the risks involved.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital has not decided whether to participate in the vaccination program.
"There are lots of different
avenues we have to look at," said Belinda Rehmer, spokeswoman for the hospital.
The hospital has until Feb. 17 to decide.
Since the announcement of President Bush's vaccination program in December, 432 people have been vaccinated in 11 states and one city, according to the CDC.

Although the department has had two transmitters systems since last summer, the system wasn't installed until winter
The company that produced that transmitters, Hyper-Interactive Teaching Technology, sent the University two transmitter systems to boost interest in its products. Each student must buy a transmitter for $30, but the transmitters can be resold for $15 at the end of the

"I hope the University will make some decisions on such systems and have them in most of the large classrooms," Shawl said. "Then a student could use the same transmitter through the entire university career."
Weather dampens the search for debris
Edited by Ryan Wood
The Associated Press
Investigators also checked reports of debris in California and Arizona, but shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore said late yesterday that as far as he knew, no shuttle parts had been confirmed west of Fort Worth, Texas.
NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Rain-drenched searchers trudging through East Texas gathered everything from tiny slivers to huge chunks of debris yesterday as they tried to find clues to what caused the space shuttle Columbia's destruction.
"We're still looking for that elusive missing link," he said.
So far, none of the more than 12,000 individual pieces found in a field stretching across East Texas and Louisiana has provided the answers NASA is looking for.
The shuttle was composed of about 2 million parts, many of
which shattered into pieces as small as a nickel. The key pieces for NASA's investigation will be the data recorders, certain tiles and parts from the left wing where sensors showed a temperature rise before the shuttle broke up over Texas.
With the rain falling across the debris field yesterday, experts worried that sensitive pieces could end up buried in mud or degrade if left exposed to the rain.
"Obviously the weather is a significant factor for us, but we are continuing on," Nacogdoches County Judge Sue Kennedy said.
Volunteers and NASA-trained searchers scoured the ground in East Texas for even the tiniest pieces. Sabine County Sheriff Tommy Maddox said people were bringing in everything from tiny items to pieces 15 to 20 feet long.
At the Toledo Bend Reservoir along the Louisiana border, meanwhile, searchers in Army
neiticopters said they had spotted at least one large object in the water. EPA senior response manager Jim Mullins said it could be the car-size piece of debris reported by fishermen Saturday.
A dive team was unable to begin hunting through the reservoir yesterday, but the team was standing by with an underwater remote-operated vehicle equipped with cameras and sonar.
David Bary, an Environmental Protection Agency spokesman, said searchers had stopped counting the individual pieces found at about 12.000. The parts include the shuttle's nose cone and at least two possible wing sections.
"We're simply consolidating the material and preparing it for shipment to Barksdale Air Force Base," said Bary, whose agency oversees collection of the material.
The debris, including about 1,000 pieces already on the way to Barksdale, will be "laid out for viewing and inspection" by officials, then taken to Kennedy Space Center to be reconstructed, Dittimore said.
A final resting place for the Columbia hasn't been decided, he said. The Challenger debris is buried in a pair of abandoned missile silos at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, adjacent to Kennedy Space Center.
Authorities said several people had turned in items since federal prosecutors announced an amnesty period for anyone who illegally picked up Columbia debris. They did not provide numbers or details.
On Wednesday, two people had been charged with stealing government property — a circuit board and thermal insulating fabric from the shuttle.

Mangino signs recruits, brings experience in second year
2-10.
This is the record the Kansas football team compiled last season under first year coach Mark Mangino.
Jayhawk fans have suffered through many dismal seasons in hope of a sign that the program will change.
After helping turn around Big 12 Conference programs such as Kansas State and the University of Oklahoma. Mangino is trying to do the same for Kansas.
Wednesday marked the national signing day for college football teams. Mangino proved his worth as a coach that understands what will change a program. Instead of just concentrating on young, high school players, Manginosinged 12 junior college transfer players.
This may seem like a bold move for the headman in Lawrence.
However, the junior college transster players will give the Jayhawks experience beyond the high school level. By taking a page out of the Oklahoma Sooners book, Kansas will see instant production out of proven college players.
"We'd like to see all of them make some kind of an impact," Mangino said. "Some will sooner than others, but we're hoping they'll all be impact players for us."
If you need more proof of this theory, look to the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Kansas' own Bill Whittemore is a junior college transfer who was the lone bright spot for the Jayhawks' last season. Whittemore threw for 1,666 yards and 11 touchdowns with a 103.4 quarterback rating.
One of the players that Mangino landed is Iowa Central weak-side linebacker Gabe Toomey. The linebacker was a red-shirt freshman for Oklahoma and then transferred to Iowa Central, which paid off because he was named as an NJCAA All-American. Toomey stands 6-feet-4, weighs 235 pounds and, according to Mangino, runs the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds.
Nine of the transfers are defensive players,which is another smart move for Mangino. Kansas needs to improve on the 42.2 points relinquished to opponents last season.
A great way to turn around a program is to find proven talent among the college level, and Mangino has set the precedent with this recruiting class.

Play-by-play announcers for the University of Kansas radio station KJHK 90.7 FM, Mike Alzamora and John Grimmett, invite you to listen as they call tomorrow's women's basketball game against the Texas Longhorns live from the Frank Erwin Center. Below, Alzamora and Grimmett bring you their expectations for the game.
The Jayhawks cannot afford another 14-point first half output like they had at Colorado this past Wednesday. If the 'Hawks truly plan to "mess with Texas," they will have to play their best game of the season and hope the No. 11 Long-horns overlook them. Ironically, Texas has not exactly played well against Kansas in the teams' last couple of meetings. Last year Kansas nearly pulled off the unthinkable as it fell just two points short of upsetting the Long-horns in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
In what became a theme for the Jay hawks last season, Kansas played well in the first half in both games against Texas but faltered in the second half.

KING
KJHK's coverage of the Kansas women's basketball game against the Texas Longhorns will begin live from Austin, Texas, at 1.
Austin, Texas, at 1 p.m. on 90.7 FM.
KU will have to find a formula to slow down one of the nation's best post players in Stacy Stephens and the inside-outside game of Heather Schreiber. If Crystal Kemp and Tamara Ransburg can avoid foul trouble and force Stephens into some double teams, the Jayhawks may have an answer for the Pre-season All-American. But Schreiber may be the deciding factor in this game as the 'Hawks may not find an answer for her.
has been the team's Achilles' heal throughout the season. The Jayhawks shot a combined 34.5 percent in the their last two games and shoot only 41 percent on the season. To make matters worse for the Jayhawks, they may have lost Blair Waltz to injury in the Colorado game Wednesday night. Even with all of the problems Kansas has, a win in Austin is not out of the question. Texas (14-5, 7-1) has struggled several times this season and has managed to lose five games thus far. If Kansas wants to pull off the upset they will need to do two things. First, get good open looks at the basket and make shots. If Kansas can shoot over 50 percent for the game they will have an excellent chance. Second, play defense for 40 minutes.
Mike Alzamora, KJHK
At times this season, the Jayhawks have been outstanding on the defensive end but generally can't keep their intensity for an entire game. If the Jayhawks do both of these, they will have a chance at the upset. However, look for the Longhorns to make dinner of the Jayhawks in Austin with a big-time victory.
The Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas, this weekend for a match-up with the No. 11 ranked Texas Longhorns. Kansas is currently riding a two game losing streak after losses to Texas Tech and Colorado. Poor shooting killed the Jayhawks in both games and

Former Jayhawk Manning signs with Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons signed free agent forward Danny Manning to a contract worth approximately $500,000 on Wednesday. It will be Manning's seventh team in 15-season career.
"I will find a niche somewhere to help this team out be it in practice or helping some of the younger guys." Manning told the Detroit Press.
The former No. 1 draft pick and NBA All-Star has not played since last season when he was with the Dallas Mavericks.
Manning played for Kansas from 1985-1988, where he became the first Jayhawk to score 2,000 points, grab 1,000 rebounds and block 200 shots in his career. He is still Kansas' leading all-time scorer with 2,951 points and career rebounder with 1,187 boards.
He has been staying in shape by practicing with Kansas a couple times a week.
"I'm thrilled for him," Kansas coach Roy Williams told reporters, adding Manning would be missed at practice. "Danny Manning added quite a bit to this squad."
Manning often played against AllAmerican candidate, senior forward Nick Collison during Kansas' practices. Collison learned a lot from the NBA veteran, he said.
"I know it helped him out being in
shape," Collison said yesterday. "But basically he was there to help us out."

"This is one of the best groups we've had since I've been here," Francis said.
Francis said he thought the players were going to come in and make a change right away and improve the team, which is what is hoped for from a recruiting class.
"These recruits will add a lot more athleticism to our team and they will fit into our style of play very well." Francis said.

Getting to the game
You can expect the 85-mile trip to Manhattan for tomorrow's game against Kansas State to take about an hour and a half. Directions are simple. Take Interstate 70 about 79 miles to Kansas Highway 177. Head north on 177 for 12 miles, and you are in the Little Apple. No road construction is reported. To check road conditions, call 1-800-595-ROAD
After the game:
Aggieville, the Manhattan bar district, is located on the southeast edge of the Kansas State campus. Bars like Longhorns and O'Mally's offer drinks and dancing, while places such as O'Mally's Ally and have laid back atmospheres ideal for drinking and talking with friends. While at the Ally, if you want to want to leave your Jayhawk mark, sign a dollar in crimson and blue and leave it on the wall. But beware of the Aggies' hatred for anything KU. Many bars in Manhattan boast signs referring to Lawrence in their bathrooms.
Cardinals sign pitcher plagued by injury
meant to lessen the pressure on a pitcher plagued with wildness, when the team reports to spring training next Friday.
Ankiel, 23, won 11 games as a rookie in 2000 but since then has struggled with his health and his control. He last pitched in the major leagues in May 2001.
He left his only spring training start
last year after only two innings because of tendinitis.
Ankiel will be paid $400,000 if he makes the major league roster and $320,000 if he lands in the minors. He's expected to compete for a bullpen spot
Also agreeing to one-year contracts were infielder Wilson Delgado ($305,000/$80,000); right-handers Chance Capel ($300,000/$50,000), Jimmy Journell, Jeremy Lambert ($300,000/$50,000), Scotty Layfield and Josh Pearce ($300,000); and left-hander Les Walrond ($300,000/$50,000).

Young track team seeks experience at weekend meet
By Chris Wintering
cwintering@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The men's and women's track and field team know home is where the heart is, but tomorrow is the first time since Jan. 11 that the team will travel to an away meet.
"As much as you don't think traveling affects you, it does," vertical jumps coach Brian
Ferry said. "But traveling is part of the game and the team will continue to step up and do a good job."
The team will participate in the Illini Classic in Champaign, III., today and tomorrow.
Illinois, Iowa State, Southern Illinois and Wisconsin will also compete in the Classic, although Wisconsin is not bringing a women's team to the meet.
Coach Stanley Redwine downplayed the home field advantage and said he wanted his team to focus on the upcoming meet.
"It has been great for the fans to get a chance to see our team, and I know the team enjoyed it," said Redwine. "Now we will be traveling, and we just want to continue to improve."
year: getting better. They believed the team was improving meet-to-meet.
"With the jumpers we are working on them staying consistent," Ferry said. "The more meets they compete in the better they will get."
Redwine agreed with Ferry that the team was improving, and he said he thought more competitions would help his youthful team.
"We have a young team and there will be some problems with inexperience," Redwine said. "We are now deeper into the season, and I just want our team to compete better than last week."
If the team performed better than it did the previous week, then all the athletes would peak at the end of the season, Redwine said.
more meets to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships, which will be held in Fayetteville, Ark., on March 14 and 15.
Last week the team produced eight event winners at the Jayhawk Invitational and finished second overall at the KU/KSU/MU Triangular two weeks ago.

Texas standouts to test Jayhawks
By Shane Mettlen

Kansan sportswriter
As far as their last games goes, Kansas and Texas women's basketball teams don't have much in common. When the Jayhawks visit the Longhorns tomorrow at 1 p.m., they will look to rebound from a 73-42 defeat at Colorado, Texas, will try to build off a 76-50 victory against Texas A&M
The Longhorns have been getting consistent play from their front court players. Junior forward Stacy Stephens is the team's leading scorer at 13.9 points per game and is second on the team, grabbing 8.5 rebounds a contest.
It was a duo of sophomore forwards, Heather Schreiber and Kala Bowers, that paced Texas in the victory against Texas A&M. Bowers notched a game-high 22 points against the Aggies, and Schreiber added 14 points and a career-high 15 rebounds.
Texas coach Jody Conradt said that Bowers was essential to the Longhorns' game plan.
"Kala really ran the floor well," Conradt said after Sunday's game. "It's been frustrating for her at times this year, shooting-wise, but she's a big part of what we want to do. What she does for us defensively cannot be measured. She can guard anybody — a post player, or a quick player on the perimeter. That part of her game is sometimes overlooked."
One thing the Longhorns will not want to overlook is Kansas.

some of their best basketball of the season before Saturday's setback at Colorado. Kansas will attempt to record its third Big 12 Conference victory of the season, but Kansas coach Marian Washington knows her team must play better than it did against the Buffaloes.

Jayhawks dive into final home meet for seniors
By Jason Hwang
jhwang@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas swimming and diving team (7-5 in dual meets) will honor its senior class as it competes in the regular season finale at Robinson Natatorium.
The Jayhawks take on the Iowa State Cyclones (5-3) at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the final home meet before they head to Austin, Texas, for the Big 12 Championships on Feb. 20-22.
Senior co-captain Heidi Landherr said she was excited and sad for the last meet.
"I'm going to have a lot of family come for the first time," Landherr said. "They've never been to a meet. It's going to be a lot of fun and emotional."
This meet will conclude the first full year at Kansas for swimming coach Clark Campbell and diving coach Brad Szurgot.
Campbell said the team was starting to learn more to become a potential Top 25
program.
Landherr said Campbell was the third coach in four years, and the transition would have been more difficult if the seniors hadn't been strong in keeping the team together.
Last Saturday, Kansas lost to Arkansas, 181-119, in Fayetteville, Ark. The Jayhawks finished first in three events. Senior Gwen Haley won two individual races, the 200-yard butterfly and 400-yard individual medley. Sophomore Amy Gruber won the 100-yard backstroke in a time of 57.55 seconds.
Coach Campbell said he wanted to ge out of the meet with little emotion.
"What we have to do is keep our eye on the prize that's the Big 12 Championships."
Last season, the Jayhawks lost to the Cyclones, 153-147, in Ames, Iowa.
Campbell said he appreciated the senior leadership. "They've meant a lot to the program and put it in the right direction."

Kansas meet director selected by USA track team
By Chris Wintering
cwintering@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas Relays meet director Tim Weaver was selected as head manager for the USA Track and Field Men's National Team.
As head manager, Weaver will be involved in all aspects of the U.S. Men's team.
"Far more than the personal recognition, I think this appointment is a clear indication of the high esteem in which the Kansas Relays are once again held in," Weaver said.
The appointment by USA Track and Field showed its respect for the Kansas Relays, Weaver said.

"I am obviously excited to work with the national team and
"It's an honor that's well deserved, and he'll do an excellent job," Kansas track and field coach Stanley Redwine said.
like the World Championships," Weaver said.
Part of Weavers' responsibility is to travel with the U.S. team to the upcoming International Association of Athletics Federation World Indoor Track and Field Championships held in Birmingham, England on March 14 to 16, 2003.
The World Championships were established in 1987 to create an international competition other than the Olympics. The event will be used by the best track and field athletes to prepare for the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.
Weaver has been the Kansas track team meet director for eight years. He is in his fourth year as Events and Alumni Coordinator
for the team. He also has served as an assistant track coach, working with sprinters, hurdlers, throwers and multi-event athletes. Weaver is an Overland Park native and ran track at the University of Tulsa when Redwine was the coach.
His appointment to the U.S. team will not affect his responsibilities as Kansas Relays meet director.

Bethune-Cookman, based in nearby Daytona Beach, Fla., has four starters returning from Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship squad. Purdue, meanwhile, sports seven starters
The Florida tournament makes up just one stop in a busy pre-conference road schedule. The team will play away from Jayhawk Field for the first seven weeks of the season before finally hosting Oklahoma on March 22.
from last year's 33-26 squad
Next for Kansas is a trip to another sunshine-drenched destination, San Diego, for the Campbell/Cartier Tournament from Feb. 14-16, hosted by San Diego State.
Going into this season, coach Tracy Bunge needed 16 more victories to reach 300 wins as a college coach. With eight more victories, she will have 200 at Kansas. Burge's career coaching record
Despite regular season play opening today, Bunge said there wouldn't be a set nine, if at all during the year, as the Jayhawks looked to fill spaces left by graduating seniors with seven freshman and a junior-college transfer.
sits at 284-238, with a 192-171 mark at the helm of the Jayhawks.
The only definite for Kansas is
that the team will rely on the arms of the junior pitcher and team captain Kara Pierce and senior pitcher Kirsten Milhoan, after the season-ending injury to the right wrist of sophomore pitcher Serena Settlemier. Junior Mel Wallach will start in centerfield and sophomore Lindsey Weinstein will start at first base.

Omar Wilkes
Wilkes is the son of former UCLA and NBA legend, Jamal Wilkes, and on the court it shows. This 6-foot-2-inch shooting guard from Los Angeles is explosive off the dribble, handles the ball with skill and has great vision. He also played Amateur Athletic Union ball with David Padgett, which could help the Jayhawks mesh together quicker than most freshmen classes. With the loss of Harry Potter look-alike Kirk Hinrich to the Hogwarts of basketball next season, most expect a severe drop-off at shooting guard next season. But all muggle-born Big 12 players should take note — this recruit is a wizard on the court.
Jeremy Case
"I hope that this weekend, we can take another step forward and improve on what we did not do well in Hawaii," Price said. "It should be another good weekend for us."
As the other highly touted recruit coming out of Oklahoma City, Case brings valuable versatility to the table. Case and Giddens know each other well, having played on the same AAU team, and although the two are complete opposites on and off the court, they should compliment each other nicely.
"He's more quiet. I don't think he has an enemy in the world — unless you are guarding him," Giddens said of Case.
Besides winning, Price said he wanted to take this weekend's trip as an opportunity to carry over the team's momentum that was formed in Hawaii.
Case can play point guard or shooting guard and has been compared to Jeff Boschee in his ability to find openings and bury three-point-shots.
Kansas fans need to leave room for dessert because next year will be flush with new talent as well as the promise of Final Fours to come.
Zollars is a Chicago senior majoring in communication.
Junior outfielder Matt Trible also had a solid series, collecting 12 base hits in 22 at-bats, and senior outfielder and pitcher Kevin Wheeler batted .357 and pitched a complete game, two-hitter against Hawai- Hilo.
Several Jayhawks will try to continue their hot starts to the season. Most notably is junior outfielder Ryan Baty, who was named the NCAA National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association. In the six games in Hawaii, Baty batted .619 and had three doubles, two home runs and nine RBI.

KU baseball hits road to play UALF
By Daniel Bork
dberk@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team will travel to Little Rock, Ark., this weekend to tangle with the University of Arkansas-Little Rock. Kansas (4-2) will try to continue its early season success, which started last week by winning four out of six games in Hawaii.
The Trojans of Arkansas-Little Rock have yet to start their season but finished 19-35 in 2002, good enough for ninth place in the Sun Belt conference. The Trojans do return some talent, though, and are led by junior pitcher Brad Cherry, who finished last season with a 1.82 earned run average.
The Jayhawks will continue their season-long nine-game road trip almost as healthy as they were at the start of the season.
Freshman second baseman Ritchie Price is expected to play in all of the games this weekend after having surgery to repair a broken nose and fractured cheek bone. Pitcher Pat Holmes will miss his scheduled start and instead come out of the bullpen because of a sore elbow. Pitcher Ryan Knippschild will take his place in the starting rotation. Knippschild pitched a complete game, seven-hitter against Hawaii-Hilo in his first start for the Jayhawks.
Couch Ritch Price said his team was ready for its three-game set despite the shaky and inconsistent weather in Lawrence.
"Practice has been really good since returning from Hawaii," Price said. "Over the weekend, when the weather was so nice, we managed to play three intrasquid games which really gave our team some quality time on the field."

There aren't any plans to rename Bramalage Coliseum "Allen Fieldhouse West," but the Jayhawks have certainly made themselves comfortable in Kansas State's home arena.
In fact, No. 12 Kansas (16-5 overall), 6-1 Big 12 Conference) has never lost in Bramalage. That's 14 seasons of Wildcat whippings, and the Jayhawks' domination does not stop at Bramalage. Kansas beat K-State (11-9, 2-5) in their last five meetings on the Wildcats' old court, Ahearn Field House, and has won 25 straight against its in-state rival.
History aside, Kansas coach Roy Williams said it would be a mistake to lump Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridges' current team into the same category as past squads.
"I think there's no question in my mind that it's the best team since Jimmy's been there." Williams said at a press conference yesterday.
The Wildcats have already won nearly as many games as last season's team that finished 13-16, 6-10. K-State has lost three consecutive games, but the last two defeats have come at the hands of No.7 Oklahoma and No.11 Oklahoma State by a combined 10 points. The Wildcats dropped a home game against the Sooners 91-89 before performing admirably in Stillwater, Okla., despite losing 63-55 to the Cowboys.
Matt Siebrandt was K-State's leading scorer in each contest with 23 points against Oklahoma and 17 versus Oklahoma State. Stopping the 6-foot-8, 235 pound senior forward goes a long way toward shutting down the Wildcats

offense, Kansas senior forward Nick Collison said.
While Collison is busy trying to keep the ball out of Siebrandt's hands, his Jayhawk teammates will be trying put it in his.
"Siebrandt is a big part of their offense a lot of their plays go through him," Collison said yesterday. "If you can limit his touches it helps a lot."
Last week's Big 12 Player of the Week, Collison has averaged 20 points and 13 rebounds per game in the Jayhawks' last three outings.
Collison and senior guard Kirk Hinrich know they must score for Kansas to be successful, Williams said. The coach of the Jayhawks told his senior leaders before the season that the team would be counting on them to assume much of the scoring load previously shouldered by former Jayhawks Drew Gooden and Jeff Boschee.
Collison's importance has been further increased by the continued absence of sophomore forward Wayne Simien. Simien will miss his 10th straight game after leaving a game against the University of Missouri-Kansas City with a separated shoulder. There is no timetable for his return, Williams said.
Women to wrangle with Longhorns

RAMBROE 21
Bouncing back from Wednesday's 73-42 loss at Colorado will not be an easy task for the Kansas women's basketball team.
The team heads back on the road to take on No. 11 Texas Longhorns at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
This will be the first and only meeting during the regular season between the two teams, but Kansas (9-11 overall, 2-7 Big 12) still has a bad taste left in its mouth from the end of last season.
Not only did Texas (14-5, 7-1) secure Kansas' 0-16 Big 12 regular season record with a 61-46 defeat, but the Longhorns also edged the Jahawks in the opening round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament, 63-61.

Sophomore guard Stacey Becker and freshman forward Tamara Ransburg fight for possession Wednesday against Colorado's Sabrina Scott. Kansas will play Texas tomorrow.

sive on the defensive end," Washington said. "We're going to have to find a way to score."
For the Jayhawks, the main concern right now is the health of sophomore guard Blair Waltz. Waltz was limited to only two minutes of play against Colorado because of back pain.
Kuniko Yamamoto, assistant athletic trainer, said there was more than a 50 percent chance Waltz will play tomorrow. Should she not be able to go, it will mean extended minutes for freshman guard Erica Hallman.
Hallman started in Waltz's place Wednesday night and had eight points and four assists in 34 minutes of play.
The Jayhawks will be lacking a deep bench against Texas, but they will still have to place much of their focus on Longhorns junior forward Stacey Stephens. Freshman forward Crystal Kemp will shoulder most of

the responsibility of stopping Stephens.
Washington said. "When we have to help out so much inside, it creates some challenges for us."

Softball team to open play in Florida
As the rest of the University of Kansas campus shivers under the snowfall, the softball team is enjoying the warm sunshine of St. Augustine, Fla.
The squad kicks off its season today in the Triple Crown Sports/UCF Tournament.
The tournament, hosted by Central Florida, is comprised of 12 teams, including the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Kansas will open up regular season play by facing Mississippi at 10:15 a.m. today. At 12:45 p.m., the Jayhawks will take on Bethune-Cookman. On Saturday, the squad will meet Purdue at 12:15 p.m.
The 'Hawks are scheduled to play two more games in the championship round. The opponents of those contests, though, will be decided as competition unfurls.
The Rebels of Ole Miss, with 11 returning letter-winners, have a record of 2-0 after taking Jacksonville State earlier this week.

Basketball recruits will serve dessert after this season
You know the old saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it too?"
Last year Kansas men's basketball team went undefeated in Big 12 Conference play, putting up a 16-0 record, as well as reaching the Final Four for the first time since 1993. This year, things seem to be going just as well. The 'Hawks are tied for first in the Big 12, the best conference in the nation, and have more than a legitimate shot at going to the Final Four for the second straight year. Heck,
Well, throw those words of wisdom out the window and grab a fork, Jayhawk fans.
Kansas has even defeated the hated Missouri Tigers three straight times.
But next year, without Collison and Hinrich, Kansas will rebuild, regroup and take a few steps backward, right?
Kansas has one of the best recruiting classes in the country to work with next year, and it fills almost every position on the floor. Roy Williams spent nearly every second of his free time last season to recruit and sign these players, and it has paid off in a big way. So grab a seat in the Delorian, and let's see the future of KU basketball.
Wrong.

David Paduett
This 6-foot-10,210-pound phenom can play either the center or power forward position and has just been named to the
McDonald's All-American team, which showcases the nation's talent. The recruiting Web site, www.theinsiders.com, calls him "the package," and ESPN.com ranks him as the 17th best recruit in America. Can you say Nick Collison, part II? Not only does Padgett play like the Kansas forward, he is the son of a coach. The two even bear a remarkable facial resemblance. Finally, proof that Clonala is for real. J.R. Giddens
The Oklahoma City small forward can flat out play. He is averaging 25 points a game this season and has major ability. Picture Keith Langford with a better outside shot. Giddens did, however, hit a pothole on his way to Lawrence. He was arrested Dec. 19 on charges of conspiracy to commit grand larceny. Oklahoma City police said he and three others tried to make off with nearly $4,000 worth of electronics from Wal-Mart by disabling security tabs. His case has since been resolved, and recruiting analyst Greg Swain, who has known Giddens for some time, claims that he will be wiser when he gets to Kansas.

Gas tanks remain full with driver planning
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Gas prices as high as $1.56 per gallon in Lawrence could make students more conscious of the amount of fuel they pump into their cars.
Along with the rising gas prices, the fuel economy of all new vehicles in the U.S. is at its lowest point in 22 years, according to a December report at www.consumerreports.org. But there are ways students can maximize their miles per gallon.
Peter Swenson. Overland Park senior, said he was more aware of gas costs because he had a job in Overland Park and commuted back and forth to his apartment in Lawrence.
"It's definitely a major thing, in my view," he said. "I try to limit my trips so I don't take unnecessary trips and waste miles."
In addition to planning ahead to minimize trips, changes in vehicle maintenance and driving style help students stretch their fuel usage to get the most miles out of each gallon.
The Better Business Bureau recommends using the right gas octane for your vehicle, stated in your car's manual, to get the best gas mileage.
Rick Aldrich, assistant manager at Midas Auto Service Experts, 2801 S. Iowa St., said accelerating slowly and smoothly was one way to get the greatest miles per gallon. Aldrich said this decreased fuel demand on the engine because it allowed the spark plugs to burn fuel built up in the car's cylinders.
A clean air filter and correct tire pressure are other factors that to be checked to make sure a car is at optimum efficiency level, Aldrich said.
"If the tires are under-inflated, it's going to take more force to run the car." he said.
Aldrich recommended students not leave their car idling, such as to warm it up, for long periods of time because this used a constant trickle of gas and could be hard on the engine.
Aldrich said students should maintain a good tune-up schedule every 30,000 to 40,000 miles to ensure optimum gas mileage.

Tenant issue hits Senate
By George Schulz editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
A proposed state Senate bill making its way through Congress would prevent landlords from imposing additional terms on tenants outside of their original lease agreements.
But the leader of a statewide landlords association has made regular trips to Topeka recently in an attempt to stop Senate Bill 15 from doing possible damage to the Residential Landlord Tenant Act. The act regulates lease agreements between landlords and tenants across the state.
"The law is so incredibly good as it is that to open the landlord/tenant act for any reason is bad." said Ed Jaskinia, president of Associated Landlords of
Kansas. "So if we're going to open it up,
there better be a very good reason."
Typical lease agreements require tenants to notify the landlord 30 days before the end of the lease if they intend to move out or to renew the lease. Some landlords send their tenants an intent-to-vacate form before the 30-day deadline, which tenants can simply sign and send back.
"This is something the landlords provide to the tenants as a courtesy," Jaskinia said. "The notice of intent to vacate, as I read it, says if you want to change the terms, here's some options."
Jaskinia said the forms sometimes list requirements if the tenant, for instance, decides to renew the lease with a different roommate. He said the forms also sometimes inform tenants of any fees they may have to pay for property damages that exceed normal wear and tear.
But Sen. Derek Schmidt (R - Independence), who introduced the bill Jan. 14, said in some cases, landlords have imposed additional requirements on tenants in small print on the forms that unfairly bind tenants to terms that were not agreed upon in the initial lease. He said landlords then try to use the tenant's signature from the form to enforce the additional terms.
Schmidt said a form he once received at an apartment complex in Topeka would have forced him to settle any disputes with his landlord out of court if he had signed it. In another case, a group of University of Kansas students would have had to pay arbitrary fees charged by a landlord for property damage.
"My quarrel is, don't stick it in a document that is presented to the tenant as nothing more than a notice that you are going to move out," he said. "Put it in the original lease agreement or put it in an addendum to the lease. But don't bury it in the fine print."
Michael Davis, a property law professor at KU, agreed and said in order to challenge the forms after signing them, tenants would have to go through expensive and time-consuming court battles.
"It puts the tenant in a very difficult position," he said. "They either have to do what they signed to do on this notice, or they have to go to court. I don't know why the landlords would be fighting this. They don't really have any business adding terms to the form."

Two fires at fraternity houses this school year could have been avoided.
The Jan. 25 fire at Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, 1602 W. 15th St., was caused by a reading lamp left unattended, said Mark Bradford, deputy chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical. The lamp ignited a nearby mattress.
The fire caused about $6,000 damage to the house, Bradford said. Most of the damage came from smoke and water.
Beta Theta Pi fraternity had a similar
Beta Theta Pi fraternity had a similar but more damaging — fire on Sept. 2 at its house, 1425 Tennessee St.
A power cord to an alarm clock shorted, destroying three bunk beds. Damage was estimated at $70,000.
No one was injured in any of these fires. But overloaded electrical wiring and leaving electric items unattended are two commons fire hazards.
sorority houses can be avoided, according to collegefiresafety.org.
Bradford said the sprinkler system and alarm system significantly reduced the possible damage.
Most fires that occur in community living situations such as residence halls and fraternity and
The Department of Housing's policy bans all explosive or combustible materials, candles, incense and open flames.
"Believe it or not open flames are the biggest problem we have," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
Resident assistants employed by the University monitor fire safety on each floor. Former RA Lisa Baghal, Leavenworth senior, said as an RA she had been more concerned with more important aspects of her job than monitoring candle use.
"Someone having a candle in their room was not the biggest thing I had to deal with." Baghal said.
Housing also performs regular checks of rooms during each break to look for safety violations.
At the beginning of the year, the fire marshal also inspects for violations.
Many fraternity and sorority chapters take similar precautionary measures.
"If there is something obviously unsafe, we would remove it and leave a notice for the student." Stoner said.

"The fire inspectors check rooms for extension cords, piggybacking, and Christmas lights," Amy Waldron, Overland Park junior and Kappa Delta president, said.
Fire inspectors check the houses regularly for possible fire safety violations, including piggybacking, the overloading of an electrical outlet.
Kappa Delta also shows a fire safety video once a year to all of the house residents. Waldron said.
Chapters also have regular fire drills that are monitored by the fire department.
Regular fire safety programs, including regular inspections.
Topeka junior and Phi Kappa Psi president, said.
But problems still occur no matter how many precautions are taken. One such problem is the false alarm. According to collegefiresafety.org, students become less reactive to alarms after each false alarm, which could cause some students their lives.
Not all false alarms are intentional, Stoner said.
Some can be attributed to dust or dirt getting in the smoke detector, or smoke from burning food that is under control. Stoner said.
Intentionally pulled false alarms are not that common, Stoner said. Students caught pulling a false alarm can actually be cited for a fire code violation and have to appear in court, Bradford said. The fine is at the discretion of the judge.
The housing department tries to deter false alarms by installing plastic covers over the alarms.
Any student found setting a false alarm
safety instruction and evacuation plans, can significantly reduce injury and damage during a real fire.
"Thankfully, we have such policies in place because it saved us from potentially major damage," Blake Shuart,
would be expelled from the housing facilities. Most culprits are turned in by other residence hall students, Stoner said.
"You tork off the people your living with and that's how they get caught," Stoner said.

Arthur O. Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times and chairman of The New York Times Company, responds to a question after accepting the 53rd William Allen White 2003 national citation. Sulzberger said journalists must value accuracy Friday in Woodruff Auditorium.
Sulzberger stresses credibility

The New York Times isn't perfect, according to its publisher.
Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., publisher of The New York Times and chairman of The New York Times Company, received the 53rd annual William Allen White Foundation 2003 national citation on Friday. In order to prepare for his acceptance, Sulzberger researched The New York Times' coverage of William Allen White, he told the audience of approximately 200 in Woodruff Auditorium.
Sulzberger found the critical coverage of White to be far off base, he said, and he was quick to point out other big mistakes The New York Times has made over the years. For example, it reported that Martians built canals on Mars, he said.
Despite those few inaccuracies,
The Times has grown to become one of the most respected newspapers in the world. In Sulzberger's 11 years as publisher, The New York Times has received 25 Pulitzer Prizes. He has served as chairman of The New York Times Company since 1997.
Sulzberger isn't the first in his family to receive the award. His father, Arthur O. Sulzberger did in 1974.
"Receiving the award in his foot-
steps is very, very satisfying," he said.
Sulzberger spent Friday touring Lawrence and the University. He ate breakfast with journalism students and spoke to reporting and editing classes. His award ceremony took place after a faculty lunch.
In his speech, Sulzberger challenged the media to use "wisely directed courage," in the words of White, during this time of world struggles.
story, he said, journalists must not forget their societal duty to be accurate.
White would be proud of the media coverage of Sept. 11, Sulzberger said. The media rose to its journalistic duty and made the unimaginable understandable for the public, he said. The media is also rising to the challenge of the war in Iraq, he said.
Journalists must build on these achievements and drop the bad habits that the media gets a bad reputation for, Sulzberger said.
"I appreciate all the Sunflower
Sulzberger also joked about being a "semi-native son" of Kansas because his wife is from Topeka.
"When journalists are rated below politicians and used car salesmen in credibility points, it's time to change," he said.
The news should not just be another form of entertainment,but must be honest and set a higher standard for readers by inspiring open dialogue and debate,Sulzberger said.
State has to offer,"he said.
Kevin Greene, St. Louis senior, said he enjoyed how open-minded Sulzberger was.
"It's nice to see somebody running this powerful corporation that doesn't seem very biased and appreciated a lot of good values," he said.
Because Kathy Williams, Leavenworth senior, isn't a journalism major, she said it was good for her to hear about the struggles of the media from a journalists perspective.
James Gentry, dean of the school of journalism, said it was wonderful to have Sulzberger accept the award and speak at the University.
"The speech was inspiring and resonated with the values that are at the heart of what a free press is all about," he said. "I found it one of the most on-point speeches any of the White citation recipients has made."

Date set for murder trial of University student
A date has been set for the murder trial of Shannon Martin, University of Kansas student killed while on study abroad in Golfito, Coast Rica.
The trial for accused Golfito residents Kattia Cruz, Rafael Zumbado and Luis Alberto Castro will begin March 20.
"We are certainly very hopeful about this latest announcement," said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.
Two university officials will be briefed on the case's progress on a visit to Coastal Rica next month.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway sent a letter last week to the President of Coasta Rica urging their government to bring the accused to justice.

CCO co-director will become first lone director
Maggie Beedles, Center for Community Outreach co-director and CLAS senator, will no longer fill either position because she is not enrolled at the University of Kansas. She left for personal reasons.
Margaret Perkins-McGuinness, CCO co-director, will take on full responsibility as director of the program until the term ends April 23.
Katie Harpstrite, CCO advisory board chair, said there had never been a single director before.

"I think Margaret will be great and the staff will pull together and get the job done," she said.
Beedles' senate seat and other open CLAS seats were replaced last week.

Kansas governor wants more minority judges
TOPEKA—Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has told judicial nominating commissions she wants to appoint more minority judges. But the first nominees she received after the request were white men.
"The bottom line is this: The Kansas bench should look like Kansas," she said in a letter sent Jan. 23 to several groups, including the Supreme Court Nominating Commission.
The letter was distributed about a month after news reports showed former Gov. Bill Graves filled 55 vacancies on Kansas courts during his eight years in office. All of his appointees were white.
Last week, the Supreme Court Nominating Commission gave Sebelius the names of the three white nominees for an appointment to the Kansas Court of Appeals. Under state law, Sebelius must pick one of those three candidates or give up the selection to the state's chief justice.
Richard Hite of Wichita, chairman of the Supreme Court Nominating Commission, said Friday that he had not yet received Sebelius' letter. But even if he had, Hite said he would have nominated the same three men because they were the most qualified out of 47 applicants.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A
Events offer service opportunities

Students can write, dance or just sleep to participate in the annual Into the Streets Week, sponsored by the Center for Community Outreach.
CCO has planned events every day this week to raise student awareness about community issues such as hunger, homelessness and sexual violence.
The events, including a letter-writing campaign Wednesday and a "senior" prom with local senior citizens in the Kansas Union ballroom Thursday, aim to help everyone get involved, Ashley Stallbaumer, Into the Streets Week co-director, said.
"We're doing easy projects as well as more interactive and time-consuming projects," she said. "We try to cater to everyone's taste and needs."
Most of the events have a precedent but new events include a gardening project on Wednesday and the letter-writing campaign sponsored by Concerned Active and Aware Students, Julie Robinson, Into the Streets Week co-director.
Today's events include a read out where volunteers will promote literacy by reading to local elementary school children and a hunger banquet exploring the differences in nutrition and diet between first, second and third world countries. Students are divided into groups representing different parts of the world and are served food that represent what people eat in that region. An educational program follows.
"It's a program that happens all over the country," Robinson said. "Some people get rice and water and other people get pizza and hamburgers."
The annual event, usually held in April, was moved up to let people involved in Rock Chalk Revue get as many community service hours as possible.
A sleep-out at the Canterbury House will cap the week Saturday. Speakers from the homeless community will be present and CCO will provide free food and live music donated from Papa Johns, Panera and Coca-Cola.

Former whistle operator clocked time
By Amy Potter

Kansan staff writer
For 91 years, KU students and the Lawrence community have heard the faithful blow of the steam whistle keeping track of students' time. Clarence Knapp, a man as old as this tradition, played a part in the history of the whistle for nearly 20 years.
From 1956 to 1976, Knapp, 91, worked in maintenance and eventually became supervisor for the power plant. He blew the whistle by hand when the automatic switch did not work.
"We had to just watch the clock," Knapp said. "It was not very often that it didn't go off, but it did sometimes." Knapp's daughter, Wanda
Dear Sir, I am very proud of you and your contributions to our country. You have been a great inspiration to many people. Your life is a testament to your dedication and passion. We are proud to remember you. Your memory will be greatly honored.
Clarence Knapp
Howard, now an accounting specialist for the Spencer Museum of Art, spent much of her childhood around the campus and power plant.
"I was kind of a KU brat," she said. "My dad kept the boilers
going. Many nights they would call him at one or two in the morning if the boilers lost pressure."
During his employment at the University, the whistle wasn't always used to signal the end of class. It was also used as a tornado warning.
"Four longs and three shorts meant all clear," Knapp said, "For many years it was the only tornado warning device we had in this town."
As far as complaints toward the whistle, Knapp said some things never changed.
"Somebody would always complain when the whistle blew
or didn't blow," he said. "We had calls from people trying to sleep, and the whistle would blow waking them up."
Earlier this month, the steam whistle broke and a replacement whistle is being built in Cincinnati. According Facilities Operations, the work on the replacement whistle starts this week. Knapp said the temporary absence of the whistle wouldn't affect students.
"Students still have classes whether the whistle blows or not," he said.

Greeks raise money dancing night away
By Jessica Palimenio

Kansan staff writer
Proper planning can't stop a fun fundraiser from flopping.
A dance-a-thon, entitled "Take it to the Hop," was held Saturday night to raise money for Habitat for Humanity and the House that Greek Built.
But the event, sponsored by the Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity Council, was not as successful as organizers had wished.
"We would have liked to have more people, but it's a work in progress," said Kelly Brennan, Glen Ellyn, Ill., junior and Vice President of Philanthropy and Community Service for the Panhellenic Association.
Brennan said word was spread about the event through the fraternity and sorority community meetings. Only about 25 couples participated in the event. Those who did participate dressed to the theme with 50s style sock-hop costumes.
The dance was scheduled to last five hours, with events and prizes planned throughout the night.
The events began to wind down an hour and a half early though, because of the lack of participation.
"It was fun while it lasted," Brennan said.
Special events included a visit from the Crimson Girls and members of the Ballroom Dance Club.
Ballroom Dance Club members taught the participants some specialized dances.
"I thought learning to salsa dance was a lot of fun," Emilie Guenther, Overland Park sophomore, said.
The Unity Hip Hop Dance Troupe gave lessons, and there was also a twist contest.
Money was raised by the participants purchasing tickets as well as additional donations. The benefit still raised over $1,600 for the charities.
"Everything we made was great. We didn't have huge expectations for the dance," Brennan said.
Brennan said the group would revamp the event better for next year in order to make it more successful.

I won't sign my name to something I don't believe. Neither would Gallieo. Neither will Michael Dini, Texas Tech biology professor. So far, I'm the only one who hasn't gotten into trouble for such integrity.
Dini refuses to write letters of recommendation for students he believes unqualified for careers in biology. For this principled policy, Dini has become the target of an Ashcroft Justice Department inquiry.
This investigation is bad for free speech and worse for students who hope to obtain meaningful letters of recommendation from their own professors.
Dini's troubles began when a student in his introductory biology class logged onto the course Web site, Micah Spradling wanted to score a reference letter from Dini to help him get accepted to an undergraduate program in orthotics and prosthetics at another Texas college. But upon viewing Dini's Web site, Spradling despaired that his desire was hopeless. Dini's page outlined three criteria for students seeking his recommendation. First, the student had to have earned an "A" in at least one of Dini's courses. Second, Dini had to know the student fairly well, through meetings during office hours or enrollment in a small class. The
Spradling knew what virtually all scientists — including Dini — affirm is the scientific answer to that question. Human beings, like all other life occupying planet Earth, are the products of billions of years of evolution.
But Spradling's religious views conflicted with that scientific answer. So, unwilling to say something he doesn't believe, Spradling dropped the course a few days into the semester. He never spoke to Dini, thus disqualifying himself from winning a letter on the first two criteria as well as on the third. Nor did he file a complaint with university administrators. Spradling, instead, went straight to the Liberty Legal Institute, which
went straight to the Justice Department.
"This case has nothing to do with evolution," said Hiram Sasser, a member of Spradling's team of Liberty Legal Institute attorneys. Supposedly, it has to do with discrimination. Religious discrimination is illegal, Sasser said, and that's why the justice department is involved. "Nobody should be required to adopt a particular belief," Sasser said.
Dini, recipient of several teaching awards and a former Catholic monk, doesn't require anyone to profess any belief. Creationist students can attend his classes and earn good grades without making any disingenuous statements. Dini is only unwilling to recommend students who reject the central tenet in biology for careers as biologists. That's not discrimination. That's common sense.
"The whole idea of a letter of recommendation is discriminatory," said Steffan Anderson, former Oral Roberts professor and current KU medical student.
That's a good thing. Letters of recommendation allow employers or graduate programs to distinguish among many academically similar students and determine which ones should get the few positions offered. "You don't have a right to a letter." Anderson emphasized.
Although Spradling's lawyers claim to agree with that statement, the investigation of Dini they instigated implies otherwise. No matter how the inquiry is resolved, other professors may fear a similar fate. If they want to avoid legal trouble, cautious teachers might cease giving references entirely, or only write utterly meaningless letters that could never be used against them. Lacking informative nominations, graduate schools would be forced to break ties among promising applicants on the basis of trivial differences in grades and test scores. That would be disastrous.
Dini's case is already a disaster for academic free speech. It could coerce professors into giving false testimonials to avoid irritating litigious and undeserving students.
When Galileo discovered Jupiter's moons, he was denounced as a blasphemer and threatened with torture. Galileo ultimately caved in to authorities and signed a confession he didn't believe. I hope his co-religionist Dr. Dini doesn't follow suit. And I hope I never get into as much trouble as these two have for following my conscience.

Falsified reality dating shows don't reflect rockier, less enticing times in relationships
COMMENTARY
It's like Monday night football — for girls. ABC's The Bachelorette, the latest in the wildfire chain of reality television shows, is drawing more attention than any other before it. While early reality shows such as Survivor strived to tear people down to near death, the focus now has turned to making them fall in love.

Ashley Smith opinion@hansan.com
Giving the original series The Bachelor a twist, switching the gender in control of selecting a companion, has proved highly enticing. But as America watches seemingly perfect romances unfold, a compelling pattern has revealed that these fabrications are not as magical as they are portrayed.
In an interview with TV Guide, this season's bachelorette, Trista Rehn, says the original bachelor, Alex Michel, began contacting her as soon as the show stopped filming. He beckonned with Rehn, telling he he had "made a mistake" in picking the other woman, Amanda Marsh. Although he was living with Marsh at the time, he relentlessly courted Rehn, sending her letters and
So before you fall too hard, zoom in.
making repeated phone calls. Because she still had some feelings for him, this led to a secretive long-distance relationship between the two for a short period of time. The moment the correspondence was discovered, Marsh was on the next flight out. Not quite a Cinderella story.
In the series' second go-around, bachelor Aaron Buerge chose Helene Eksterowicz out of the line-up. Buerge even took it a step further than the original series by proposing. However, upon returning to real life, the two found themselves rarely seeing each other. While Eksterowicz returned to her job on the East Coast, Buerge returned to his home in Missouri. According to Eksterowicz's interview with In Touch, an
entertainment magazine, Buerge was too busy "media whoring" in efforts to bank on his newfound fame for the two to have any sort of relationship. As the break-up was recently made official, it was revealed that this was actually Buerge's second engagement to fail.
But there is now a professional in the driver's seat. Not only does Rehn have an advantage in finding true love on the show because of her previous experience on the other side, her larger benefit lies in her gender. Women, according to studies from Scientific American magazine, choose partners for more contemplative reasons than men do, and therefore will have more potential to discover lasting relationships.
Never once did she mention his physical flaw. Rehn has constantly reiterated that she is keeping such meaningful qualities in mind during the process.
For example, many viewers were surprised to see Rehn not eliminate a slightly overweight bachelor until a final round. When questioned on what made him attractive to her, she said, "He makes me laugh. That's one thing I've always wanted in a husband."
Bachelors of the past had a slightly different tactic. Both listed physical attraction as one of the most important features they were seeking in a potential mate. Their priorities were made more clear as they cut women early, citing this as their reason.
Ladies, be prepared, because if you're looking for lifelong love, you may have to be the one to take charge. With the outcome thus far, certainly don't count on ABC to help you out.
Although many would love to see Rehn buck the trend and have her picture-perfect fairy tale played out, the pattern of her predecessors makes it look highly unlikely. Simply, people cannot fall in love in a matter of weeks surrounded by the eyes of millions of viewers. Reality isn't free of work and full of paid luxury vacations. To the disappointment of many faithful fans, the falsified atmosphere of the show simply doesn't allow for the creation of love that can actually survive a not-so-rosy setting — the real world.

Chemicals force town evacuation
The Associated Press
TAMAROA, III. — A train carrying hazardous chemicals dermal in town yesterday and authorities evacuated 500 of the town's 800 residents. One chemical leaked and caught fire.
No injuries were reported after 16 to 21 cars of a northbound Illinois Central-Canadian National train derailed during the morning, authorities said.
Residents up to a mile from the scene were evacuated because the train was carrying vinyl chloride, formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid, Perry County Sheriff Keith Kellerman said.
The chemicals are harmful and could cause death in high amounts, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Emergency workers were kept from trains, Kellerman said.
Student breaks into comedy

People laugh at Max Minor, but he doesn't mind.
Minor, a Plymouth, Minn., senior, is a comedian who is just getting started. While he writes creatively in his spare time, Minor performs stand-up shows in Lawrence and Kansas City.
Minor has been clowning around ever since he can remember.
"I was always the goof-off in class," Minor said.
Minor began writing creatively three years ago because he couldn't achieve the attention he wanted through sports. To take things a step further, he turned to stand-up comedy as another outlet to express himself.
Although Minor's parents support his pursuit of a career in comedy, Minor doesn't let his parents attend any of his stand-up acts.
"My parents wouldn't mind
having a famous son," Minor said. "I just don't want them to come see my acts because I feel bad saying 'cock' in front of my mom."
Minor said he liked performing at Stanford and Sons in Kansas City, Mo., because he could say anything he wanted there.
Sometimes, Minor thinks he is funnier than the audience thinks he is.
"One time at Stanford and Sons, I had a really tough crowd," Minorsaid. "When that happens, I usually just blame it on the audience."
Minor gets most of his ideas when he's bored in class. Although his jokes often push the limits, he said he stayed away from racist and homosexual jokes.
"Those jokes are the easy way out." Minor said.
Minor said he used thought-provoking jokes instead of ones with obvious answers.
"I'd much rather my jokes go over the audience's heads rather

than under them," Minor said.
Minor is also in the process of writing a book about a man who accidentally kills an FBI agent and escapes from jail. Minor said he hoped to have his book published in the next year.
Although Minor is considering attending Second City, a comedy school in Chicago, his roommate Adam Leitel, Moorhead, Minn., junior, said he would be better at filling the shoes of goofy game show host Bob Barker.
"I could definitely see him as the next host of The Price is Right," Leitel said.

Local musicians cut costs by going online, recording with friends

Britney Spears, Usher and Creed all names most students recognize and associate with popular music. But what about Fuse 22 and Mylin Brimm?
For two KU students, the dream of making it big in the music business is something they hope will happen in the near future.
"If we had a chance to sign with a major record label, I'd take time off of school and pursue that," said Mike Zimmers, Howard senior and Fuse 22 bassist. "Since
record deals don't come around that often, I'd take the chance."
Zimmers and his three fellow band members are recording their first album. The band is hoping to be done in two months, Zimmers said.
"It's just hard to find time to record," Zimmers said. "We all work full-time, and since we are using our own equipment, it takes a long time to record."
Fuse 22, a rock band that plays both covers and original music, is recording its album on a band member's equipment.
Mylin Brimm's album, Cherish Life, was recorded for free last year in a friend's professional stud
dto in Wichita. Brimm, East St. Louis, Ill., senior, said paying to use a professional studio would have taken a chunk out of his wallet. Professional recordings cost around $60 per hour, said Colin Mahoney, owner and engineer of Z'gwon,th Music Productions, 920 1/2 Massachusetts St.
"The way people record albums is changing," Mahoney said. "Technology is making equipment more inexpensive. More bands are starting to buy their equipment and take their time recording an album."
To help cover production and promotion costs and gain exposure, Fuse 22 and Brimm play local shows. Fuse 22 has played locally at mostly small venues, such as Duffy's in the Ramada Inn, 2222 W. Sixth St., Zimmers said.
Brimm said he had opened for artists such as Nelly, Silk, and Tech N9ne.
"Basically, the more shows you do, the more contacts you get," Brimm said. "That helps you to get better shows later on."
Local artists have several options to promote their albums. Members of Fuse 22 said they plan to first sell their album after shows and then send it to recording companies, Zimmers said.
Brimm sells his album on mp3.com and at Hastings Books, Music & Video, 1900 W. 23rd St. Mp3.com offers buyers a chance to listen to several tracks of the CD before purchasing it for $7.98.
"I pay about $3 to $4 a CD on mp3.com," Brimm said. "They make the complete CD package for me; the CD, the cover design, and anything I want in the CD book."
Brimm then sells the CDs at the Hastings local section on consignment.
"It's a really easy process," said John Maestas, Hastings music manager. "Basically, we get 30 percent on top of what they want to
sell the album for and they check and maintain their own stock."
Another place to promote a new album is on local radio music shows, such as 105.9 the Lazer's local music show on Sunday nights. Artists submit their original CDs for the disc jockey, Chuck Newman, and his intern to decide what to air. Newman said.
He said the station received about five local CDs a week.
"I get stuff from K.C., Manhattan and a lot from KU," Newman said. "If it works for the format of the show and it's good, I'll play it."

Non-English law sparks problems
The Associated Press
ALTUS, Okla. — The Justice Department has agreed with Hispanic employees for the city of Altus, Okla., who say a rule that forbids them to speak Spanish, except of on personal breaks, is unfair.
Twelve employees filed complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after the policy took effect in July, said Rick Dovalina, a Houston lawyer and former president of the League of United Latin American Citizens.
Hispanic employees make up about 30 percent of the work force in the southwestern Oklahoma town, located about 15 miles from the Texas state line.
Altus City Attorney Catherine Coke said she questioned the strength of the Justice Department's finding because the department opted not to take action on its own.
Alts' mayor and city manager were unavailable for comment.
Coke said she knows of no problems with the English-only policy after an initial round of complaints. No one has violated it to her knowledge and few have complained, she said.
"The main thrust of it is we just want any communication on the radio or the telephone or in any official business to be in English." Coke said.
The law allows English-only policies in some instances, such as when safety is a factor.
"If you want to speak your language on break or if you're working with someone on the site, then you can speak Spanish. It's just a simple policy, really." Coke said.
In a letter from the EFOC, who referred the case to the Justice Department, the commission says Alus' policy has a "chilling effect" by singling out a nationality and promoting a feeling of exclusion.
Altus' English-only policy is "overly broad" and justification for the ban does not rise to the level of necessity, the letter says.
"The sole evidence provided by the respondent is that English-only speaking employees complained they are uncomfortable with another language in the workplace." according to the letter.
The policy was written after an Altus street employee was told to speak English on the city radio. That employee asked to see the policy requiring him to do so. A policy was drafted the next day.
To be sure, tenants are not required to sign the courtesy form. They can still draft their own intent-to-vacate letter before the 30-day deadline.
The lease would typically detail what damages the tenant is responsible for," said
Sandra Craig McKenzie, another property law professor. "From the tenant's perspective, you're supposed to read what you sign."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved the bill and the full Senate is scheduled to consider it for passage in two to three weeks. The bill would then have to make its way through the House in order to pass.
Tenant
Schmidt has urged that consideration be postponed while he meets with the landlords association to possibly make changes to the bill.
"It's common process around here to reach consensus on things," Schmidt said. "The key for me is solving the problem."
Jaskinia said the landlords association likely wouldn't support Schmidt's bill even with bet
ter wording.
"We just want to make sure it's absolutely correct in what he is trying to accomplish," he said. "For any of the tenants out there on KU campus, their worst nightmare is to open that landlord/tenant act, because there are a lot of things in there that protect tenants."

'The Kiosk'lets writers fill pages
By Nicole Roché

"It just came to me really quick," Heinen said. "I didn't think it would be published."
Heinen, a junior from Lubbock, Texas, said he was surprised when his short story was chosen for last semester's edition of The Kiosk, the University of Kansas' literary and art magazine.
Bill Heinen spent thirty minutes with "Barbara on the Beach," but he never thought she'd see the light of day.
Tabatha Beerbower, editor of The Kiosk, said the magazine prided itself on intriguing fiction, poetry and design. She said students could submit entries for the spring edition until Feb. 21.
"Everything we've published has had a very realistic feel to it," Beerbower said. "What we really look for is honest writing."
Each semester, students enter about 70 to 80 fiction pieces and more than 100 poems. Beerbower said. The magazine's editors pick the top eight, she said, and then decide on the finalists.
"It's just like English class," she said. "We analyze what stories mean and what makes a story good."
The Kiosk staff is a tight-knit group. Beerbower said. Hiring is mainly done by word of mouth and all the positions are unpaid.
"We're not a traditional student organization," she said. "We operate out of our own homes and apartments."
Beerbower said she had a poem published in The Kiosk her freshman year, "Impurities," which was about a woman
The Kiosk operates on an estimated $7,000 budget to print about 2,000 copies each semester. Beerbower said. The magazine's sponsors include Coca-Cola and Student Senate, she said, although several other organizations contribute.
metaphorically cleansing her sins. She said the assistant editor at the time asked her to join the staff, which was mainly composed of English and journalism majors. The magazine has nine members on its staff.
Bernard Hirsch, advisor to The Kiosk, said the magazine evolved since he became the undergraduate coordinator for the English department in 1996.
"It's very free flowing," Hirsch said. "They are as concerned about the visual form and content as much as they are about the verbal."
He said although he gave advice for the student editors, he wanted the publication to be excelusively the work of undergraduates.
"I trust their judgment," he said. "Obviously there's a little more license than there would be on the front page of the Kansan."
The Kiosk is typically 96 pages and includes four fiction pieces, seven poems and various art selections. Beerbower said this spring's edition, which will be printed in April, would be the 28th edition of The Kiosk.

Another fragment of Columbia thought to be found in Texas
HEMPHILL. Texas
The Associated Press
Searchers trudging through the East Texas mud yesterday found a charred hatch door with a hydraulic opening mechanism believed to have been part of the space shuttle Columbia.
"The hatch for the most part was intact," said Nacogdoches County Sheriff Thomas Kerss. "It does have some tearing of the metal and several protective
shields had been dislodged from the door, but some of those were still in place."
Kerss said the door measured 3 feet by 3 feet and was "fairly heavy." It wasn't immediately clear what part of the shuttle it may have come from.
Two other large pieces of shuttle debris located yesterday remained in a remote area where recovery teams planned to retrieve them today. Kerss said.
So far, the most significant
finds have been a 2-foot long section of Columbia's wing and a covering for a landing gear hatch.
Searchers began their second week in a cold rain, struggling through mud and braids and up steep grades amid the ticks and other bugs of the Texas woods and bogs.
"I don't think any one thing really hurts you all that much," said Timothy Palermo, a National Guardsman from Port Arthur,
Texas. But he said it can be frustrating: "You can spend all day hacking your way through an area and not have gone two miles because of the terrain."
Richard Bradley, a doctor with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Urban Search and Rescue, is monitoring one person for a cough that may have been triggered by a toxic substance on shuttle debris. But for the most part, he has been seeing cuts and sore muscles.
"We treat a lot of blisters, remove a lot of ticks, put lotion on a lot of scratches and see a lot of bruises," he said.
At the Toledo Bend Reservoir, on the Texas-Louisiana border, the weather has kept divers from searching areas where sonar detected what could be shuttle debris.
They hope to send divers in later this week, but in the meantime are using a small, self-propelled device that beams back television pictures to help see through the deep silt and fallen pine trees that cover the floor of the reservoir.
"We have at least one area that looks good," said NASA astronaut Steve Bowman. "It was brought to our attention by a witness and backed up by sonar sweeps that revealed some sizable debris there. Now, we just need to verify that it's from the shuttle and not a door from a '49 Chevrolet."

If he keeps hitting the crap out of the baseball like he is now, Ryan Baty could be a superstar down the road-but no one at Kansas would care.
If Baty's in it for the glory, he's at the wrong school – or in the wrong sport.

The fair-weathered Kansas fans don't pay much attention to anything but men's basketball around here. The sad thing is, they're missing out on some good athletes. They're all talented, and they're all Jayhawks. Ryan Baty is just one of them.
Two weeks ago, Baty, a junior outfielder, was beyond sensational. In a six-game series at Hawaii-Hilo, Baty hit .619, had 13 hits, crushed two homers, three doubles and had nine RBIs. He reached base in the17 of the 25 times he came to the plate.
The achievements go on. He made zero errors. He never struck out. He walked four times. At one point, he had hits in seven straight at-bats. He scored seven runs.
All those stats were team-bests.
"In my 25 years of coaching, that's as good a weekend as I've seen a player play," coach Ritch Price said. "He was special."
Price has spent most of his coaching years in California, a state stocked with the most talented amateur athletes in the United States. His comment comes with a lot of merit.
The nation took notice of Baty last week. The National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association gave him one of the most prestigious honors. Baty was named the NCAA National Hitter of the Week for the week ending Feb. 2. No one at KU seemed to care.
Baty could put up some monster numbers this year. It's early, but he is on pace to hit .536, blast 16 homers and drive in 72 runs. In the rigors of a 63-game schedule, he likely won't, but the projections do show how remarkably he's started this season.
Ryan Baty was better than all of them. But since he doesn't play basketball, nobody at Kansas cared.
His size, speed and talent are sure to land him a nice spot in this summer's Major League Baseball draft. The Kansas baseball team is talented, and with a fiery new coach at the helm, it could be on its way to its best season in years.
But will anyone care?
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
Batwin anyone on
Last week, Ryan Baty should've been the biggest story in Kansas athletics. He wasn't. Instead, it was Keith Langford's mysterious Band-Aid on his forehead, Wayne Simien's screwed-up shoulder, coach Roy Williams bashing the Internet and a bunch of idiots believing it's guilty until proven innocent regarding Missouri guard Ricky Clemons.
The talent pool in college baseball is loaded. There are potential Major League All-Stars and, possibly, future Major League Hall-of-Famers in the college game today.
What a shame.

Kansas cruises again adds to 'amazing' run
Aaron Miles, sophomore guard, watches the ball and guards his man during second half of the game against Kansas State. The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats Saturday in Manhatten 82-64.

MANHATTAN — Kansas State was ready to make a statement.
No longer would the Wildcats be reminded that they had never beaten the Kansas men's basketball team in Bramalea Coliseum. Finally the 19-game home losing streak to the invaders from Lawrence would end. This was their opportunity to tell everyone they deserve respect.
For the first 20 minutes of their 82-64 loss, the Wildcats (11-10 overall, 2-7 Big 12 Conference) were heard loud and clear. They sank three-pointers seemingly at will, played stifling defense and looked like a team ready to beat Kansas (17-5, 7-1) for the first time since January of 1983.
Kansas State freshman forward Marques Hayden's rebound and putback at the buzzer sent his team to the locker room with smiles and a 36-35 edge. The Wildcats had the 12th-ranked team in the nation right where they wanted
After the break, it looked like it would be more of the same from K-State. In the first 14 minutes, it battled Kansas basket-for-basket and led by as many as 4 points. But K-State's opportunity was about to slip from its grasp.
The Jayhawks surged ahead with a 15-0 run that didn't end until K-State senior forward Quentin Buchanan nailed a two pointer with just under two minutes to play.
"You've got to respond with something," Wildcat senior forward Matt Siebrandt said. "We didn't respond with anything."
During the stretch, Kansas held KState scoreless for four and a half minutes, turning a close game into an 18-point blowout.
"We had them on their heels," sophomore guard Keith Langford said of the Wildcats. "They never made a run back at us. They never showed any heart, so we just stomped on them."
Langford must have decided he needed different shoes to leave a proper footprint on the Wildcats. His habit of switching kicks after a sub-par first half paid off. Langford scored 11 points in the second half to finish with 18 for the game.
Sophomore guard Aaron Miles and senior guard Kirk Hinrich got in a little stomping action as well.
Miles bounced back from a twopoint, five-turnover performance against Missouri to score 13 points and dish six assists.
scored 24 or more points in three of his last four outings.
For Hinrich, it was another game and another All-American caliber performance. While senior forward Nick Collision watched much of the second half from the bench with four fouls, Hinrich barely left the floor. He scored 28 points in 39 minutes to pass former Jayhawk Tony Guy for the 17th spot on Kansas' career scoring list. Hinrich has
The victory closed out Hinrich's final triumph in Bramlage. He and Collison will finish their college careers without losing a game in the Wildcats' arena.
Kansas' 20 consecutive victories in
Manhattan was impressive, Kansas coach Roy Williams said after the game.
"To me, it's the most amazing thing I've been involved with," he said. "It's just mind-boggling."

Lady Jayhawks work to fix first half

Eleventh-ranked Texas (15-5 overall, 8-1 Big 12) handed Kansas its third straight defeat. After winning two straight conference games against Texas A&M and Nebraska, the three conference losses for Kansas (9-12, 2-8) have come against three of the Big 12's top four teams. The three-game skid brings some relief to the Jayhawks, as they will not face another ranked opponent until Feb. 26 when they play Kansas State.
If there's a positive for the Kansas women's basketball team to take away from Saturday's 89-47 loss at Texas, it's that the worst is over.
A big concern for Kansas is its inability to score enough in the first half of their last two games. Against Colorado last
Wednesday, the team scored 14 points in the first half, and only 15 on Saturday against Texas.
"We'll play well for two or three minutes and then we'll just get lost," freshman guard Erica Hallman said.
Hallman was one of two Jayhawks to score in double figures. Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras led the way with 14 points, while Hallman added 11.
Hallman's second consecutive start was the result of Blair Waltz's recent back pain. Waltz was held to two minutes of play on Wednesday and had a rough time on Saturday in Austin, Texas. Waltz played 17 minutes but did not score, going 0-for-6 from the field.
Another problem the Jayhawks have faced aside from their offensive woes early in games is not cutting the deficit in the second half. Burras said that in order for that to start happening, everyone has
to be on the same page mentally.
"I think we can make comebacks, but we all have to believe it," Burras said.
For Texas, the offensive attack was well-balanced, with seven different players scoring at least eight points. The Longhorns were led by sophomore forward Heather Schreiber, who had 14 points. Senior guard Alisha Sare scored 11 points, while sophomore guard Kala Bowers and junior forward Annissa Hastings each had 10.
The Jayhawks now have a short break until they return to action. They will host Missouri Saturday as a part of the Border War series. The players' main focus this week will be recuperating physically before they next take the floor.
"It will help us a lot," Hallman said. "Our bodies are really tired right now."

Reno recruit Padgett hurt, knee injury causes loss
It was the second straight year that he has left the Carson game with a knee injury. He suffered a season-ending knee sprain in last season's game.
Future Jayhawk David Padgett might be wearing a brace before he wears a Kansas jersey.
The Nevada Appeal reported yesterday that the 6-foot-11 center from Reno, Nev., injured his knee in a game between his Reno High School and Carson High School. Padgett had to be helped off the court and did not return. He was taken to the hospital, but the severity of the injury was not immediately known.
When he left Saturday's game in the third quarter, Padgett was leading all scorers with 16 points and the score was tied at 39. The game went into overtime where Reno eventually lost 59-57.

Softball team starts season undefeated
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
After four games at the Triple Crown Invitational, four words can describe the performance of the 4-0 undefeated Kansas softball team: so far, so good.
The Jayhawks are off to their best start since 1998 — the third softball team in the University's history to start 4-0 — after four convincing wins in the season-opening St. Augustine, Fla., tournament.
After defeating Ole Miss 2-1 on Friday morning, Bethune-Cookman 6-1 about two hours later, and Purdue twice on Saturday (8-7 and 3-1), Kansas moved into the championship round — only to be shut out by Mother Nature. Sunday's action was canceled because of tropical rains. Because no championship game was held, Southern Illinois-Carbondale, which scored the most runs during the invitational, was crowned tournament champions. The Jayhawks finished second.
"You can't control the rain, and that was a little frustrating because we had a shot at winning the tournament," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said.
In addition to the second place finish, four Kansas players were named to the all-tournament team: junior Kara Pierce, junior Sylvia Pfeiffer, junior Dani May and freshman Melaney Torres.
Pierce walked away from the mound with tournament defensive MVP honors, after posting a 3-0 record with 30 strikeouts in a little over 19 innings of work.
Pfeiffer took home tournament offensive MVP honors with a 5-8 showing at the plate, including two home runs and five RBIs. Torres went 5-9 at the plate with a triple and a double.
May provided the Hawks with stalwart defense as the defense played errorless ball throughout the tourney.
In the first game, Pierce emerged as the victor in pitching duel against star Ole Miss hurler Leslie Day in a 10-inning affair. She finished the game with a career-high 17 strikeouts.
On Saturday, the Boilermakers of Purdue (1-3) couldn't out do the Jayhawks in two consecutive games. It looked like Kansas was going to win the first game aftertaking a 7-2 lead, but Purdue clawed its way back by scoring five runs in the fifth inning.
In the second game against the Boilermakers, Pfeiffer showed why she would later be named the offensive MVP by going 2-2 at the plate and smacking three RBIs.
The Hawks will next head westward to compete in the Campbell/Cartier Tournament in San Diego from Feb. 14-16.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
Jason Hwang jhwang@kansan.com
Bramlage trip shows lack of atmosphere
The back of the card read, "Mitch Richmond Forward 1979-82." But, the bio underneath — and Richmond's media guide bio — tell fans he actually played for K-State from 1986-88. The card also said that Richmond was "a first-round draft pick of the Golden State Warriors in 1998." He was actually the fifth pick overall in 1988.
If there was a book on how to create a bad basketball atmosphere, the Kansas State Wildeats would be the poster children.
On game days in Manhattan, fans are given "A Century of Tradition" basketball card commemorating past Kansas State basketball greats. On Saturday, it was Mitch Richmond day.
Granted, mistakes do happen, but having blatant errors on a card to honor one of the best Wildcat basketball players is not only an insult to Richmond, but an insult to the Wildcat faithful's value of their men's basketball and its history.
Besides the cards, the dress of the team also brought a bad vibe into Bramlage. Can someone please explain those hideous retro uniforms Kansas State wore on Saturday?
The uniforms were lavender and did not even match their regular purple shorts. These uniforms were worn by the 1983 Kansas State squad—the last Wildcat team to win at home versus the Jayhawks. But to actually think that they can count on gimmicks such as retro uniforms to give them good karma against Kansas is pathetic.
The atmosphere was also weakened by the Kansas State alumni, who almost never stood during the game. They stood longer and made more noise for the acrobats from North Dakota who preformed at halftime than for their own team.
The Jayhawk fans, who made up one-third of the crowd at Bramlage, chanted "Let's go Jayhawks" far louder than the K-State student fans' version of "Let's go Wildcats."
Throughout this tightly contested game, K-State students didn't seem to care as much. This Wildcat basketball squad may not be very good, but if you can't be pumped up during a close game — when there was a chance to beat your in-state rival at home for the first time in 20 years — then as fan, you are hopeless.
While the Jayhawks' winning streak over the Wildeats has been extended, so does the gap in quality of basketball atmosphere between Kansas and Kansas State.

Inside Sports No.11 Cowboys fall to Bearcats
CINCINNATI—Jason Maxiel scored a career-high 24 points, giving Cincinnati its long-sought inside threat, and the Bearcats ended a three-game losing streak by beating No.11 Oklahoma State 61-50 on yesterday.
The Associated Press
Cincinnati (14-6) was desperate for a win after three straight losses that prompted coach Bob Huggins to banish the team from its posh locker room. The Bearcats have never lost four in a row during Huggins' 14 seasons, and were determined to avoid infamy.
Their tight man-to-man defense sent Oklahoma State (18-3) into a secondhalf tailspin and opened up a close game. The Cowboys missed 16 of their first 18 shots in the half, allowing the Bearcats to turn a one-point deficit into a 14-point lead.
Oklahoma State never got closer than nine points the rest of the way. The Cowboys shot a season-low 34 percent from the field, including 2-of-12 on 3-point attempts.
Victor Williams led Oklahoma State with 18 points.
Two of the nation's top half-court defenses set a slog-it-out pace, with open shots and points hard to come by. Cincinnati led 27-26 after a back-and-forth first half that featured two ties, 10 lead changes and no lead of more than five points.
Oklahoma State missed nine consecutive shots — several from right under the basket — and two free throws while the Bearcats went on a 14-point run early in the second half. Field Williams had two 3-pointers as Cincinnati went ahead 41-28.
Cincinnati gives up only 58.9 points
per game, eighth in the nation, and Oklahoma State allows an average of only 60.3 The man-to-man defenses locked in early, refusing to give up a big run.
Maxiell was the only player on either team who could score consistently. Maxiell, who had 21 points in a loss at No.5 Louisville on Wednesday, made seven of Cincinnati's 11 field goals in the first half, keeping the Bearcats in the game.
With Oklahoma State's bulky offense bogged down, coach Eddie Sutton went to a spread offense midway through the first half. It didn't work — Oklahoma State got three shot clock violations in the half, two out of the spread offense.
Huggins also tried a few different things. At one point, he went to a zone defense for one possession, then had his team switch back to man-to-man. Their trademark man-to-man set up the decisive run early in the second half.
Knight fails to intimidate Mizzou
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Victory No. 801 will have to wait for Bob Knight.
Arthur Johnson had 23 points and 13 rebounds as No. 21 Missouri, dominating inside, denied the legendary coach an encore triumph in an 82-73 victory over Texas Tech on Sunday.
Matching wits with Knight wasn't first and foremost on Missouri coach Quin Snuder's mind.
"You're aware because he's Coach Knight, he's one of the greatest coaches to ever be on the sideline." Snyder said.
Missouri players weren't distracted by the presence of Knight, either.
"I know the fans were eager to see him," guard Rickey Paulding said. "But I think as the game went on, you kind of
forgot about him being there."
Missouri outrebounded the Ree Raiders 38-21, getting 13 on the offensive end. The Tigers (14-5, 5-3 Big 12) remained unbeaten in 11 home games and rebounded from a six-point loss at Kansas on Monday.
Andre Emmett had a career-high 34 points for Texas Tech (13-6, 3-5) on 14-for-20 shooting. But he was the Red Raiders' only offensive weapon, with Will Chavis (12 points) the only other player in double figures.
Knight won his 800th game Wednesday with a 75-49 victory over Nebraska, joining Dean Smith (879), Adolph Rupp (876) and Jim Phelan (824) as the only Division I coaches to reach that milestone. His next chance to gain on Phelan comes Wednesday at Iowa State.
Missouri exploited Texas Tech's weakness inside by pounding the ball to the 6-foot-9, 260-pound Johnson whenever it needed a basket. Johnson didn't score for the first 71/2 minutes of the second half, then scored six straight points in a two-minute span to give the Tigers a 59-50 lead with 10:25 remaining.
It was the 13th double-double for Johnson and his third in four games. He's disappointed when he doesn't get one.
"I feel like every day could be a big day for me," Johnson said. "All the hard work you put in, then you get results, that makes you feel good about yourself."
Paulding added 20 points, including three 3-pointers, for the Tigers, while Ricky Clemons had 14 points and five assists and Travon Bryant had 13 points.

Kristi Misejka, senior diver, framed by a three-meter diving board, reaches the apex of her jump during the one-meter diving competition at Robinson Natatorium. The meet against Iowa State was the final home match for the seniors. The Javahawks fell to the Cyclones 126-118. Misejka won the event.
In their final meet of the regular season, the University of Kansas swimming and diving teams fell to the Iowa State Cyclones 118-126 Saturday at the Robinson Natatorium.
In diving action, senior Patti Stringham won her fourth firstplace finish of the season by taking the three-meter event with a score of 276.23. Stringham placed second in the one-meter flight with a score of 269.62. Senior Kristi Misejka took first place in the one-meter event with a final score of 270.75. The win marked her third firstplace title of the season. Misejka also placed second in the three-meter competition with 265.50 points.
Kansas swimming took four first place titles in the final meet. Senior Beth Schryer won the 1,000-yard freestyle with a time of 10:23.48. Schryer also won the 500-yard freestyle event in 2:05.97. Senior Gwen Haley earned her team-high ninth first-place finish of the season in the 200-yard butterfly, clocked at 2:05.30.
Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said he was pleased with the direction of the team heading into the Big 12 Championships.
The Jayhawks earned four individual second-place finishes and two relay second-place finishes in Saturday's dual. Freshman Gina Gnatzig took second in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:06.25. Sophomore Aly Colver also took second in the 100-yard freestyle by clocking in at 53:09. Junior Kristen Johnson captured
two second place titles for the Jayhawks. Johnson came in second in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:08.07 and second in the 200-yard breaststroke clocked at 2:22.14. Kansas finished second in the 200-yard medley
The Jayhawks will compete in the Big 12 Championships Feb. 19 to 22 in Austin, Texas.

Women win Illini Classic
By Chris Wintering

Kansan sportswriter
University of Kansas track coach Stanley Redwine is all about the team. He often says that no one person is greater than the team.
In the Illini Classic in Champaign, Ill. the women defeated teams from Illinois, Southern Illinois and Iowa State to win the meet. Redwine said he was proud of the performance.
"We're taking it person-byperson and event-by-event, and we are continuing to get better," Redwine said.
Every area of the women's
team had a winner or a runner-up. For the sprinters, senior Robbie Harriford won the 200-meter dash, junior Stacy Keller won the 400-meter dash and sophomore Brooklyn Hann won the 60-meter hurdles.
The middle distance and distance winners included freshman Angela Pichardo in the 800-meter run, sophomore Megan Manthe in the mile and junior Paige Higgins in the 3.000-meter run.
In field events, Yvonne Calzonetti won the pole vault for the vertical jumpers, and freshman Charisse Bacchus won the long jump for the horizontal jumpers.
For the throwers, freshman
Abby Emsiek came in second in the weight throw.
"We're just continuing to do as I've said before, work hard and get better, and we were better this week than we were last week," Redwine said.
Illinois was the men's winner and Iowa State finished fourth. Due to a scoring discrepancy, it was not known whether Kansas or Southern Illinois placed second. The men had three individual event winners with junior Leo Bookman in the 60-meter dash, sophomore Jeremy Mims in the 800-meter run and freshman Benson Chesang in the 3,000-meter run.
Baseball splits Arkansas series
By Daniel Berk

Kansan sportswriter
After winning four of their six games in Hawaii, the Jayhawks traveled to Little Rock, Ark., to take on University of Arkansas-Little Rock. Despite the 28-degree weather, Kansas managed to split the two games against the Trojans Saturday.
The Jayhawks came from behind to eventually win the first game 7-4 in 10 innings. Outfielder Matt Tribble led the way for the Jayhawks' comeback as he drove in two runs on a triple in the sixth inning.
Wheaton, Ill., hit a solo home run in the top of the ninth to tie the score at four. Then his outfield partner, senior Kevin Wheeler, hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning to make the score 6-4. The Jayhawks would later add an insurance run to make the final score 7-4.
Tribble was not yet done, and for his encore, the junior from
"I thought we played well in the first game," coach Ritch Price said. "I was real pleased with our two through five hitters."
Tribble finished the first game by going 4-5 from the plate. Wheeler also added two hits and drove in two runs. Junior Ryan Knippschild started the game for the Jayhawks, but he struggled early. The bullpen managed to keep the Jayhawks in the game as
"A big reason we won the first game was because of our bullpen." Price said.
The second game of the doubleheader saw another solid pitching performance.
After UALR's four-run fourth inning, the team managed to hold the score at 5-4 for the remainder of the game.
"I thought we could have won that game, but we broke down defensively." Price said.
Kansas' final game of the series was scheduled yesterday before it was canceled because of snow. — Edited by Michelle Burhenn

Are you thinking about dipping into savings to fix something broken at home? Does it really need to be a top
priority? Pay off an old bill first.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.

A Kansas State fan taunts Keith Langford and the Jayhawks as they head toward their bench during a time out, 13,340 fans cheered on the game Saturday afternoon at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan.

Kansan sportswriter
MANHATTAN — In Saturday's Sunflower Showdown with rival Kansas, the Kansas State men's basketball team wore pastel-colored uniforms with two shades of purple to recall the glory days of Wildcat basketball in the late 1970s and early '80s.
Kansas State freshman Marques Hayden might have been dressed in two tones of purple, but he was green with envy about the abilities of Kirk Hinrich, after he led Kansas to an 82-64 victory.
"He's a good player," Hayden said. "There were a couple of possessions where I was like 'How did he do that?'
Hinrich made his last trip to Manhattan on Saturday looking to avoid being part of the senior class, along with forward Nick Collison, that failed to extend Kansas' streak of winning games against the Wildcats in Manhattan.
In the second half, the Jayhawks' chances of continuing their 19-year dominance in the Little Apple looked bleak. Collison went to the bench alongside coach Roy Williams with 14:13 remaining after picking up his fourth foul pushing on a rebound.
"We had to step it up," Hinrich said. "He's a guy we count on to score a lot."
The Wildcat advantage grew to 51-47 with 13:18 remaining after Collison was taken out, but Hinrich refused to watch his team wilt to its in-state rival.
Apass from Hinrich to junior for
"Kirk Hinrich was absolutely sensational. It's amazing that one guy can give so much strength to everyone else."
Roy Williams Kansas Men's Basketball Coach
ward Bryant Nash on a fast break resulted in a violent Nash dunk to give the Lajavahaws a 53-51 lead.
From that point on, Hinrich displayed his talents, scoring 11 crucial points down the stretch, helping the Jayhawks outscore the Wildcats 31-13 after the score was tied at 51.
"Kirk Hinrich was absolutely sensational," Williams said. "It's amazing that one guy can give so much strength to everyone else. He's as good of a competitor as I've ever had."
Hinrich finished with 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting and 4-of-7 from beyond the threepoint arc. About the only negative for Hinrich came on a shot at the 6:03 mark that was originally ruled three-point basket, giving Kansas a 68-60 lead.
The officials went to the scorer's table to look at the television monitor and decided that Hinrich's foot was on the line, giving him only a two-pointer.
"I was a little surprised when they went over there," Williams said. "Usually you go over to the monitor if you are undecided, but he had signaled it was a three right off the bat."
Even without the extra point, Kansas' winning streak in Manhattan reached 20 years after the 18-point victory.
"I think every time we've come over here it's been a fight," Hinrich said. "They play well early in the game, but we will ourselves to victory."
Hinrich went on to say he is very pleased with Kansas' play midway through Conference play.
"I can't say enough about our effort tonight," Hinrich said. "I feel better about our team tonight than I have all year."

Love wins at Pro-Am one stroke earns title
The Associated Press
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. Davis Love III was right: Staying ahead is even tougher than coming from behind at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Fortunately for Love, he's canable of doing both.
Love surrendered a three-stroke lead over Tom Lehman with six holes to play yesterday, but made a short birdie putt on the 18th hole for a one-stroke victory — his first win since his first Pebble Beach triumph in 2001.
On the fourth straight day of perfect weather on the Monterey Peninsula, two veterans whose careers have lagged recently battled down the stretch of an entertaining final round in the popular pro-am.
Love, who made up a sevenstroke deficit to win at Pebble Beach in 2001, took advantage of the conditions with an extraordinary string of birdies, but Lehman caught him down the stretch, setting up a dramatic finish.
After beginning the day with a two-stroke lead, Love made six birdies in the eight holes around the turn. Lehman charged back with three straight birdies on the back nine and another on the 17th, but Love made a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th — moments after Lehman missed a similar putt.
"Awin for me after two years of coming close and not being 100 percent physically, that's great for me," said Love, who got his 15th PGA Tour victory with a final-round 68 to finish
at 14-under 274 for the tournament.
"It feels like a great start."
Love thrust his hands into the air shortly after the last shot. His share of the $5 million purse was $900,000 — the biggest paycheck in 18 years on tour for the third-leading money winner in PGA history.
Before his victory at Pebble Beach in 2001, Love had gone 62 events and 34 months between victories. This time, he had been without a win in 44 official events over 24 months while playing a slightly reduced schedule because of neck and back problems.
Lehman finished with a 5- under 67 to go 13 under for the tournament. It was his best finish since the 2001 Sony Open in Hawaii — and a thrilling result for Lehman, whose wife, Melissa, is nearly ready to deliver their fourth child.
Tim Herron — who shot a final-round 66 — and Mike Weir finished third at 276, two strokes behind Love. Love said the win was even tougher than his triumph in 2001, when he made up seven strokes against Weir, Phil Mickelson and the rest of the field.
Love fell behind Weir with two early bogeys. He made up the deficit with a phenomenal string of birdies.
Love led by three strokes after another birdie on the 13th, but Lehman kept the same steady pace he maintained through all four days and then made his move with three straight birdies midway through the back nine.

Small steps start change
Steinem encourages crowd to make social change organize activist goals
By Lauren Bristow
lbristow@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Each person has enormous power to make a difference and change, renowned feminist and journalist Gloria Steinem told a crowd of about 1,600 people last night at the Lied Center.
Steinem focused her speech on the need for social change and the importance of individuals to organize to accomplish their activist goals.
"The flap of a butterfly's wing here changes the weather hundreds of miles away," she said. "Each one of us in this room combined makes one hell of a butterfly."
Steinem said social change is needed now more than ever.
"One of the main things that appealed to me was the need to get out and vote," Erik Cotter, Kansas City, Kan., Junior said. "I really hope she had an impact on
One example she offered that needed change was the number of registered voters that participated in the presidential election in 2000. Only about 29 percent voted, which means about 15 percent of the total population is running the country, Steinem said.
realizing the importance of voting. I'll be there to vote next time."
Another theme of the speech was the relative youth of the women's rights and equality movements.
We as a whole have a long ways to go when talking about women's equality, Steinem said. She referred to the assumption that anything a man can do, a woman can do also. "But how often do you hear everything a woman can do a man can do too?" she said.
"It was only about 50 or so years ago that women started being legally counted," Steinem said.
Kathy Rose-Mocky, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said she was thrilled that Steinem was
coming to campus.
"It's a great opportunity for students to look at gender roles and how it will impact us on campus," Mockry said. "It will help us look at ways to continue a dialogue about how gender impacts us."
Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972 and remains active with the magazine as an editorial consultant and writer. She is also an advocate against child abuse and the death penalty and supports voting rights for all people.
Student Union Activities and Student Senate sponsored the speech as part of the Student Lecture Series. Steinem was paid $18,000 for her appearance.

Sales jobs profitable but remain suspicious
By Nicole Roché

Kansan staff writer
Chad Anderson, neatly dressed and prepared for an interview, entered a room full of fellow prospective employees. He was ready to compete for the position — he just wasn't sure what that position was.
Anderson, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said he answered an ad that he saw in Snow Hall last year. It advertised flexible hours and $17.25-an-hour base pay but didn't describe what type of work he would be doing.
"The secretary was really vague about it," Anderson said. "I thought it might be like telemarketing."
His guess wasn't far off. The company, Vector Marketing, hires students to sell Cutco kitchen knives but doesn't disclose this information in its advertising. Anderson said the secrecy didn't bother him, but some students said the company was deceptive.
Rodney Armstrong, branch manager for Vector's West Kansas City location, said the company did not give out details because it would take too much time to explain the job to every person who called and inquired.
Erin Maike, Alma junior, said she didn't know what the position was until an hour or two into her interview at the Topeka location last summer.
"I thought, 'Something's fishy here,'"
Maike said. "It sounds too good to be true."
Ann Hartley, associate director for Career and Employment Services, said a job at Vector Marketing could be good sales experience. But she said it was strange that the company did not advertise more clearly.
"Ethically, there's a problem there," Hartley said. "It makes me wonder, 'What's going on with you that you can't be up front about it?'"
Maike said she was attracted to the high pay rate but quit after two weeks. She said she was frustrated that she had to purchase the knives she used in her demonstrations.
She said it took the company three months to pay her.
Brandon Delany, Alma sophomore also trained in Topeka last summer. He said Vector Marketing offered an opportunity to earn free knives in the first two weeks of employment, but he never received them.
"It wasn't worth it," she said.
Sometimes mistakes happen, said Armstrong. He said a paperwork error

Student schmoozes with top University executives; decides job isn't for her

Callie Knoll had an incredibly busy day.
Although the Omaha, Neb., freshman missed her morning class, she attended morning meetings yesterday as chancellor of the University of Kansas.
Knoll was randomly selected to be the 2003 Chancellor for a day last October as part of the Student Senate Legislative Awareness Board voter registration drive.
"I didn't know about it," she said. "I was surprised when I got the call. My parents thought it was funny."
Her day started at 7:50 a.m. with Chancellor Robert Hemenway at the chancellor's cabinet meeting. Knoll observed as the group discussed the budget.
"It was kind of intense," Knoll said. "The chancellor has a lot of responsibility."
After the meeting, Knoll and the chancellor went their separate ways. While Hemenway took notes at Knoll's art history class in Spencer Art Museum. Knoll attended a legislative briefing with Janet Murgua, executive vice chancellor for University Relations; Jon Josserand, assistant for governmental relations; Marlin Rein, University director emeritus; and Theresa Klinkenberg, chief financial officer for the University.
"It's a challenging line of work," Knoll said. "I

KU First campaign close to meeting fund-raising goal
The Kansas University Endowment Association announced Friday that total donations for the KU First: Invest in Excellence campaign had reached $404 million.
The campaign, conducted by the Endowment Association, began in 1998 with a goal of reaching $500 million in donations by the end of 2004.
The campaign is the third and largest campaign in University history. KU First has provided financial support for 15 construction projects, more than 230 scholarships and 30 new professorships.
"They are all very great enhancements to the University and will benefit the University for years to come," said John Sarfe, director of communications for the association.
Projects funded by the campaign include the Hoglund Brain Imaging Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, the School of Engineering building expansion, a new classroom building at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, the Dole Institute of Politics, the Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center for KU student athletes and a new home for Kansas Public Radio.

Victims granted restitution in diluted cancer drug case
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A federal judge on yesterday ordered restitution from Robert Courtney's criminal activities be divided proportionately among people who received diluted cancer drugs from him through a Kansas City pharmacy.
But U.S. district judge Ortrie Smith
also set up a system to allow the victims to argue that they were entitled to more than their proportionate share from the $10.4 million compensation fund.
Smith appointed U.S. magistrate judge Robert E. Larse as a special master to determine "to the extent reasonably possible" who received cancer treatments from Courtney through Research Medical Tower Pharmacy, and to hear envails claims for higher restitution.
The judge also required any claimants to agree not to seek damages from Courtney's wife, Laura. She was sentenced Friday to one day of unsupervised probation for lying to federal agents during the Courtney investigation. Smith said Mrs. Courtney was not involved in or aware of her husband's criminal activities.
Boulder police department ends JonBenet investigation
Police chief, Mark Beckner, confirmed his department's only involvement in the case would be to provide new leads to prosecutors or provide assistance if requested.
DENVER — The Boulder Police Department said yesterday it has ended its investigation of the Jon-Benet Ramsey murder, handing over the case to investigators in the district attorney's office.
The decision to shift the investigation to the district attorney's office helped avoid a lawsuit by Ramsey's parents, John and Patsy. Their lawyer, L Lin Wood, said police ignored leads and tips about the Dec. 26, 1996, slaying.
"I suspect this is unprecedented in modern law enforcement to have an unsolved active investigation taken away from a police department," Wood said in a telephone interview from Atlanta.

Community leaders group promotes abstaining from sex
By Janette Yost editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
Douglas County has declared February "Abstinence Awareness Month." And the Training Leaders for the Community project are working hard to get the message out.
The project employs 14 University of Kansas students who give presentations throughout the schoolyeartoyoungpeopleages 10-17 on the physical and emotional consequences of promiscuous sex, and how to develop good charac
ter. The point of the project is to help high school and middle school students make good decisions before they are faced with the pressure of engaging in sexual intercourse.
During the week leading up to Valentine's Day, Feb. 10 through Feb. 14, the project is targeting all of Douglas County, parents and college students included, with its message of abstinence.
"The idea of awareness week is to get people just thinking about it, regardless of what decisions they'll make," said Katie Pretz, Osawatomie junior and three-year
project employee. "Having them think about it means a lot to me."
The projects employees have been busy organizing events for the week, which include manning tables on Wescoe Beach, giving out raffle prizes at certain public locations around town and an open mic night at Paradise Cafe on Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Independent of the project, Watkins Health Center is hosting Sexual Responsibility Week, sponsored by the Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Student (BACCHUS) and Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol (GAMMA) Peer Education Network, which sponsors the week on national college campuses every year.
The Community project and Watkins will work together on a few events, despite their differences in opinion on what safe sex is.
Bill Smith, Watkins health educator, hopes that the projects message of abstinence has an effect on KU students. He said that Watkins will be supporting not only the use of contraceptives when having sex, but also the choices of abstinence or postponement, which is what
Smith calls "waiting for the right time." He said that the students who have decided not to engage in sexual behavior needed support.
"But we have to recognize the students who are sexually active," he said.
Smith said the efforts of Watkins and the community project to reach KU students would complement each other well.
The federal government provides funding for all of the projects events through the Title V Abstinence Education grant.

Search to begin for Catholic professor
By Meghan Brune editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
For 26 years, the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center has worked to reunite the Catholic religion with the University of Kansas.
A $400,000 donation in December has helped the ministry raise $1.4 million to fund a professor of Catholic thought in the religious studies department at the University.
The last time the Catholic religion was represented at the University was in 1977, the year a department of religious studies was established.
"The state of Kansas legislated that it would match any private donation to fund a professorship," said Father Vince Krische, director of St. Lawrence.
The ministry has $1 million of the $1.4 million needed, but the fund matching from the state comes in the form of
accumulated interest over the next four years. With fund matching, the state matches the interest earned from the $1 million and gives it to the center.
The University signed an agreement with the ministry two years ago that will allow the ministry to be included in the search for a new professor in exchange for the funding.
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, said the search would follow the same process as the search for any other professor.
"St. Lawrence will not have a vote, but we will keep them updated," Miller said.
Although the Catholic religion hasn't been a force at the University for 26 years, it has a long history here. In 1902, the Disciples of Christ Church bought a farmhouse at what is now Smith Hall.
the University for $1 per year. Students earned KU credit for some of the classes offered through the School of Religion. At that time, two Catholic teachers were part of the corporation along with eight other regional religious teachers.
Until 1977, the School of Religion was leased from the Disciples of Christ Church to
When the School of Religion became a department at the University, the religious teachers became state faculty and no other professors of Catholic thought were hired since.
"We considered it a big loss and have always wondered if we could ever restore that," Krische said.
Krische said about 90 percent of students are educated in public schools and universities and only 10 percent receive a Catholic education.
"We would like to enhance the knowledge of the Catholic intellectual history and we hope to do this through a professor at the University," Krische said.
Miller said he welcomed the idea of a new professor in the religious studies department. But he said education is different at a church than at a university.
"We look at religion from a cultural and historical point of view," Miller said. "We are more free-ranging, while a church is grounded in faith."
The ministry has offered free theology classes to students for five years at the center. This semester, 350 students have enrolled. Mike Scherschligt, director of ministries teaches sections of the four classes: Creed I, Creed II, Virtue, and Theology of the Body.
"Students have all kinds of questions about their lives and happiness," Scherschligt said. "The most important thing we can give students is a set of principles by which they can gain happiness."

Power outage leaves speaker in the dark
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Russ Burger doesn't make it to Lawrence very much, but next time he may be tempted to bring his own generator.
Last winter, the Dallas-based architect was in town to speak as part of the School of Architecture's lecture series. The appearance was ultimately thwarted by a major ice-storm and the accompanying power outages.
Yesterday morning the power gremlin struck again. Just as Burger was getting in to his presentation at Alderson Auditorium, a power outage left the Kansas Union and a handful other buildings on the northeast end of campus without power.
Union policy is to move visitors to a naturally-lit area and figure out the problem. Building
engineer for the KU Memorial Unions, Wayne Pearse, was among several Union employees who determined the risks for injury outweighed the advantages of keeping a dark, powerless Union open.
"There's no set response to these situations," Pearse said. "If it was dark out, everyone would have been evacuated immediately. If it was really cold outside we would have kept everybody indoors. Today was nice so it gave us a chance to catch our breath and make a decision."
At the time the evacuation order was given, about 20 minutes after power went out, officials did not know the cause of the outage or when power might be restored.
After about a half-hour, power was restored.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Company deserves 80 percent tax break
Lawrence will soon be home to a new, 43,000 square-foot facility for the pharmaceutical company Serologicals. Inc.
The city commission will reward the company by offering them an 80 percent tax break.
Councilman Mike Rundle disagreed with this idea and some students may as well, seeing it as another victory for big business. But the city of Lawrence should do whatever they can to entice such companies to set up shop here in Kansas.
What is more, the new facility will create more than of 40 jobs for Lawrence residents, which will payan average salary of $47.000.
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, Serologicals will bring more than $25 million to the community.
The numbers are promising
The decision of Serologicals to set up shop in Lawrence should also be considered a testament to the University.
David A. Dodd, CEO of the company, said, "We believe the positive business climate and the growing life science community in the Kansas City area, led by the University of Kansas and the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute Inc., will enhance our ability to attract and retain high quality personnel at this important new facility."
This is the sort of statement that describes a top public university.
Mike Rundle did not think the decision was fair to the other businesses in Lawrence, supporting instead a 50 percent tax break for the company. Allen Ford, KU professor of business, also weighed in on the side of small business, pointing to the large discrepancy in tax rates.
The bottom line, however, is that Serologicals will bring to Lawrence much more than it will take out.
Make no mistake. Rundle and Ford are making an admirable stand for what they believe in and attempting to defend the rights of small businesses.
The company will bring jobs and a large initial investment to the city, which will soon overshadow any perceived unfairness in the tax break.

READERS' REPRESENTATIVE
Honesty, vigilence from sources help maintain quality of paper
Fast readers' representatives have often written about how students and faculty can reach out to The University Daily Kansan.
Certainly the editors want to make it as easy as possible for readers to make contact.
But what often hasn't been explained is what to do when the Kansan reaches out to you.
When approached by a reporter, depending on the story, people's reactions tend to range from bemusement to apprehension. Many times, reporters assume that everyone knows how to behave around them.
P. M.
Just say "no." If you do not want your name in the paper, tell the reporter right away.
Do not talk to them for 15 minutes and then assume they know you don't want to be identified.
Because this is not the case, here are a few tips for those who are ill at ease when it comes to handling a reporter's questions.
Think of it this way: When talking to a reporter, whatever you say might very well go into the paper unless you tell them ahead of time that it is off the record.
COMMENTARY
If you have any qualms about what you are saying, explain your position to the reporter before you say it.
Leah Shaffer
rcadersrep@hansan.com
Have your quotes read back to you. This ensures that the content is accurate and will save both you and the reporter from future trouble.
What you cannot do is review the entire story before it gets printed. The Kansan has this policy so the writer, not the source, dictates the content.
If you are nervous about what you said in an interview, again, ask to have your quotes read back.
Get back to them. For reporters, it is extremely frustrating when a source ignores a message or skips an interview.
If a reporter is relying on that source, the rest of the story might fall through and the paper will suffer.
Even if you know that you cannot help with a story, call the reporter anyway and tell them what's going on. Better yet, suggest someone else they should talk to, if you can.
Be respectful and patient. Just because these are student reporters does not mean they can be treated disrespectfully.
Again, if you think they are not following what you are saying, ask them to read back the quotes and explain your stance.
Kansan reporters are just beginning to learn their trades, so be patient.
Don't assume the reporter is out to get you. Some sources assume that any reporter's job is to dig up dirt on them. Other sources visit the opposite extreme and assume that, when a reporter calls, it means free publicity.
What both sides fail to realize is that a good news story should include the positive and negative aspects of any issue.
Ultimately, a story should not be overly positive or negative, but truthful.
Hold the reporters to a high standard. Reporters should also be patient, respectful and friendly to their sources.
If a reporter is ever rude,unprofessional or misses an interview,their sources should call the Kansan and alert an editor.
For good news to get churned out, it has to work both ways.

PERSPECTIVE
Satire of differences promotes ethnocentrism
Middle Easterners own convenience shops. Gay men are effeminate. Blacks are athletic. Have Loffenced you yet?
Here's one that offended me as I read an article in my own University newspaper Thursday: Asians eat dog. I do not encourage stereotypes like these, but articles like the one published in a recent edition of Tongue In Beak perpetuate them.
The title of the article was, "Mrs. E's teams up with humane society." I was shocked and very disappointed with The University Daily Kansan when I read the article.
The University of California, San Diego
I personally found it appalling. I found it insulting, I found it insensitive. But let me assure you, I did not find it funny.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Some readers may not have thought twice about the story because it was meant to be a satire.
The article played on the old joke of Asians eating dog. The issue is not whether or not Asians eat dog.
Tracy Hsiao opinion@kansan.com
Here's one that offended me as I read an article in my own University newspaper Thursday: Asians eat dog. I do not encourage stereotypes like these, but articles like the one published in a recent edition of Tongue In Beak perpetuate them.
The offensive part is the underlying intolerance that the article suggests: "Dogs are supposed to be man's best
The fictional story said that dog meat was debuted at Mrs. E's annual "Vietnamese New Years' Feast." The Vietnamese New Year, one of the most important and celebrated holidays in the Vietnamese community, is degraded and mocked.
In one part of the story, a Mrs. E's employee is quoted saying when students find out what the meat is after eating it, they "go straight to the bathroom."
friend...you don't eat your best friend." Eating dogs in America is just as shocking as eating beef or pork in another country.
The point is cultural differences do exist.
I took this as a message that what Asian people eat is disgusting, and, in effect, Asian customs are backward and wrong.
So how, in this day and age, could a newspaper encourage such ethnocentrism?
It's not being racist, it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously, one of them said. One of my Asian-American friends said he wasn't offended at all.
Many people who read the article may be thinking the same thing. After all, what's a little joke if it's not hurting anyone?
paper and they reacted similarly, but a few of them thought I was overreacting.
I showed some of my friends the
But the truth is the jokes do hurt.
How should Asian students feel about their culture if their own university paper makes fun of it?
In recent years I have been impressed with the the Kansan's coverage of minority events and issues. But to see this recent article was deeply disappointing.
I think the University, in the interest of its goals of increasing minority recruitment and retention, should first take a look at what is published in its own newspaper.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A
Commission candidates address University concerns
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
G. Wayne Parks, 78. The retired Goodyear worker, farmer and fencebuilder lived in the Lawrence area for most of his life and recounted those experiences in five self-published books. No stranger to politics, Parks is running in his second commission election after coming up short in 1999's general election.
Less generous use of tax abatements
Parks' Main Concerns:
- Finding a better way to control single-family housing
Assisting young families with home purchases
City planning that considers schools and neighborhoods first
What is the biggest issue facing KU students and the University community?
"The downturn in economy, high cost of college education and as The Lawrence Journal World
pointed out: the lack of jobs. Overall: Poor planned growth and future costs to solve problems caused by that poor planning. Letting developers box in old Lawrence causing traffic problems. Lawrence living on present construction benefits and anticipated future sales taxes and property tax base. See what has happened: when one or all slack off, we have an empty bag full of debts."
Eddie Lehman, 37. The resident
assistant at Haskell Indian Nations University lived in Lawrence since 1989 and watched as one city commission after another made decisions that disappointed him.
"I finally decided that rather than waiting for the change to occur I need to step up and bring my voice to the table." Lehman said. His voice can also be heard among candidates for the school board where Lehman is thought to be the first candidate participating in both elections.
Lehman's Main Concerns:
- Registering all rental properties in Lawrence
Using the city commission to spearhead smart growth south of Lawrence
Continued use of tax abatements to prevent Lawrence's slide into a "bedroom community"
Finding a real solution to traffic on 23rd Street, besides the South Lawrence Trafficway
What is the biggest issue facing KU students and the University community?
"The level of funding provided by the Kansas Legislature. With the University of Kansas as the largest employer in the city, this should also be an issue of concern to the city commission. Overall, the biggest issue facing Lawrence residents is maintaining the quality of life we currently enjoy. The qualities of Lawrence are impacted by many other issues: planning, economic development, housing social services, etc."

Ombudsman leaves position after many years of service
University mediator problem solver informer plans to teach full time
By Kellie Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After 18 years of service as ombudsman at the University of Kansas, Bob Shelton will leave the position in July.
The ombudsman handles complaints, provides information and serves as a consultant to the entire University and Lawrence community. The ombudsman has a unique role because people can come to him with problems on an informal level and talk things through instead of immediately having to file a formal complaint, said Shelton, associate professor of religious studies.
"This is a safe place for people to talk about whatever they need to talk about because it is confidential and private," Shelton said.
The word ombudsman, according to the KU ombudsman's Web site, is a word of Swedish origin and refers to a "person who has an ear to the public." Although the ombudsman mediates problems and offers solutions, he does not have the authority to take disciplinary action, reverse decisions or circumvent existing University rules and procedures, according to the definition of the ombudsman's duties from the office of the provost.
Shelton, 68, said working as an ombudsman was like being a coach because people called the ombudsman to simply find out what steps they needed to take and where they needed to go to resolve their problems.
Providing students with information and guidance within the sometimes intimidating and confusing bureaucracy of the University is an important function of the ombudsman, he said.
Shelton has worked at the University for about 35 years. He won a Kemper Fellowship and the Wallie and Marie Steeples faculty award in 2000.
"I have really enjoyed seeing all kinds of ways that people work here to go out of their way to help each other and students. You really get a sense of who wants to help and change."
Bob Shelton
University ombudsman
He became interested in taking the job as ombudsman 18 years ago because he said he had always been interested in helping people resolve conflicts.
"Something that has always been an interest of mine is how people work with conflict," Sheton said. "My field is social ethics and I saw it as an application of how people manage conflict that is consistent with their values and also enhances the values of the institution."
Working as ombudsman was very demanding time and energywise. Shelton said but there were also things he enjoyed about the job.
"I have really enjoyed seeing all kinds of ways that people work here to go out of their way to help each other and students." Shelton said. "You really get a sense of who wants to help and change."
Shelton isn't retiring. He said he wanted to teach full time, do research and planned to take a sabbatical next spring.
Molly Mulloy, office administrator for University Governance, said that Shelton had helped students and faculty with complaints but also helped the University's administration run more efficiently.
"He has resolved many complaints before it gets to the judicial board," Mulloy said. "He helps all parties involved and diffuses the problems before they reach the formal complaint stage."
The University Governance is reviewing applications to fill the position of ombudsman in July. The committee will select three candidates and present them to the provost to make the

Afterward she met with Mary Burg, the chancellor's executive assistant, to plan the upcoming week at the chancellor's Monday morning meeting.

"We got to go inside and compare what it looks like now to what it will look like when finished," she said.
Her duties as chancellor ended at a noon meeting with Hemenway,where the two discussed the morning's activities.

"He was very attentive and concerned with the lesson," Moseley said, "He was one of my better students with a very inquisitive look."
Chancellorfor a Day started in 1999 when Lambda Sigma Sophomore Honor Society decided to raise money for the Jubilee Café. The society asked
the chancellor for permission to sell raffle tickets to benefit the cafe that would grant a student the opportunity to act as chancellor for a day. The society discontinued the program in 2001, but Student Senate picked it up again this fall and made it free to enter during the Student Senate Legislative Awareness Board voter registration campaign.

"I had to go to my physics class because I have a test on Friday," she said. "I trusted him to take notes in my art history class, but it was important for me to go to physics."
After the experience, Knoll said she doubted she would pursue a career as a chancellor.
"It's a challenging line of work. I'm worn out after just one day." she said.

worthy cause and for relief from his daily duties.
The ability for the chancellor to leave his demanding role for even half a day was a good break for Hemenway, Burg said.
"At midnight at Dillons if the chancellor is buying a six-pack of Diet Coke he is still the chancellor." Burg said. "It's great for him to be able to take off the chancellor's hat."

was usually to blame when people did not receive their free knives. He said in many cases the fault was with the employees themselves but not always.
"I won't lie to you. There's circumstances where we've messed up," he said. "But that's human error."
Armstrong said Vector Marketing might have had problems paying Maike because she moved shortly after leaving the company. But Maike said she merely moved across the hall in the same apartment complex. Armstrong said a similar situation could be resolved by speaking to a manager.

"The company is really good about taking care of its people," he said.
Reps are required to pay a $144 deposit for their knives, Armstrong said, so the rep doesn't "run off with them." He said the knives were worth $473.
Currently there are three Vector Marketing locations in the Kansas City area and one in Topeka, Armstrong said.
Maike said the pay problems weren't her only concern with Vector Marketing.

"I had to beg people I knew to hear demonstrations," she said. "You lose so much dignity that way."
She said the canned speech made her feel uncomfortable, especially when the script called for her to bend the knife and say, "Hear that ping? It's a B sharp — because it's always going to be sharp."
Erin Maike, Alma junior, shreds an advertisement for a job through Vector Marketing that promised a $17.25 an hour pay scale, but didn't say what the profession was. Maike was lured by the money but soon found out that selling knives was madding and quit after just two weeks. "It's kind of like selling your soul to the devil," Maike said of her time selling knifes. "Yeah, I did get a pair of good knives, but I even had to pay for those. Then all your family hates you because you have to pedal the stupid knives to them."
Anderson said he had never experienced problems with Vector Marketing in the year he has worked there. He said he
still does appointments in his spare time for the company.
Ranked fifth out of 30 for sales. Anderson said he had the ability to determine what knives people might be interested in. He said he had purchased knives from the company because they were such good quality.
"They sell you on what
you're selling," he said.
Maike agreed that the knives were good quality. They were so sharp, she said, that she often accidentally nicked herself while doing demonstrations.
"The product's awesome," Maike said, "but the company's kind of shady."

Nation is feeling gasoline price hike
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Prices for heating oil and gasoline are soaring and likely to keep rising as energy markets cope with a colder than expected winter, the loss of Venezuela's production and worries about war with Iraq.
A deep freeze in the Northeast caused heating oil prices to spike by 20 percent last week. The Energy Department, citing low stocks — as well as higher natural gas prices, said heating bills could be 50 percent higher this year than last winter.
Consumers are getting hit at
the gasoline pumps as well.
Nationally, gasoline prices increased for the ninth straight week to an average of $1.61 a gallon for regular grades, 51 cents a gallon higher than a year ago, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.

'Hawks try to stop upset
KANSAS 10
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
Senior guard Kirk Hinrich shadows Kansas State's Tim Ellis in the first half of Saturday's 82-64 win. Big 12 Conference officials named Hinrich the conference's Player of the Week after he scored 24 points against Missouri and 28 against K-State, shooting a combined 72.4 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from three-point range.

A heavy favorite entering the game, the Kansas men's basketball team was on the road and trailed at halftime.
Sounds like a scene from Saturday's game against Kansas State, right?
But this time, Kansas was losing by 25 points at the break, not one, and the Jayhawks didn't come back to win by 18 — they lost by 8.
The team was Baylor, the year 2001, and Kansas was the sixthranked team in the nation. The Bears brought the sky-high Jayhawks back to earth, 85-77, in front of 9,523 screaming Baylor fans and a national television audience.
Kansas hasn't been back to Waco, Texas, since.
That'll change when the ninthranked Jayhawks (17-5 overall, 7-1 Big 12 Conference) meet Baylor (10-9, 1-7) tonight, but don't expect Kansas coach Roy Williams to do much reminiscing.

Baylor seeks conference victory
By John Domoney

Kansan sportswriter
The 2002-2003 season of the Baylor men's basketball team was supposed to be their time to explode onto the national scene. Instead the team is left nursing its wounds after a 10-9 record and 1-7 start in the Big 12 Conference.
KANSASVS:BAYLOR
KANSAS(17-5)
The 49-point loss to the Sooners was the worst Baylor loss since a 102-50 loss to Clemson on Dec. 19, 1983. The defeat also extended the Bear's streak
The Bears were supposed to generate new excitement in Baylor basketball this season after being predicted to finish as high as sixth in a Big 12 preseason poll by the Basketball News.
"With the exception of last game, we've been competitive in every game we've played," said Bliss during yesterday's Big 12 teleconference.
That "last game" was a 91-42 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman, Okla., giving the Bears their seventh loss in their last eight games.
Instead, Baylor finds itself in last place in the conference and facing the challenge of facing conference frontrunner and perennial national power Kansas.

"It was a very difficult game to go through," Bliss said. "Oklahoma had a very good outing that day. We obviously didn't do well."
The good news for Bliss and Baylor is today's game against the Jayhawks will be played on Baylor's home floor at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas.
"I think Kansas has played as difficult of schedule as anyone in the country." Bliss said. "And they've done it
without one of their best players in Wayne Simien."
One of Baylor's best players is emerging sophomore Lawrence Roberts who leads the Bears in scoring with 14.8 points per game and rebounding with 9.5 boards per game.
Bliss said Baylor's opponents have displayed a tendency to double and triple team Roberts when he received the ball in the post, putting pressure on Baylor's guards to respond with outside shots.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he understood why Roberts is drawing so much attention from opposing teams.

"When you continue to put up numbers like he's doing, when you're the focus of the other team's defense, you should feel pretty doggone good about what you're doing," Williams said.

Washington deserves more respect for career's work
There are lots of things that go on in Kansas athletics that get on my nerves.
It drives me nuts to keep hearing people say coach Washington is not worthy of keeping her job because of the women's basketball team's tough times the past couple seasons.
This basketball season, one thing that has pushed me over the brink is the constant belittling of Marian Washington's status on this campus.
Whether it's a team being over-hyped, or a team not getting enough hype, I have to keep a lid on most of it since I only get this one column each week.
When push comes to shove, Marian Washington should be known as one of the most respected figures in the Kansas athletic department, and maybe even more than Roy Williams.
When looking at the technical aspect of her career, Washington has compiled an impressive resume. To her credit, she has won seven regular season conference titles between the Big 8 and the Big 12 Conferences, she has won six conference tournament titles, made 15 postseason appearances, two berths in the Sweet 16, and has more than 500 career wins. The list goes on, but there's not enough room in this column to squeeze much more in.

director from 1974 to 1979. Washington helped women's athletics grow significantly, and the University now has 11 women's varsity sports.
Washington has also been a pioneer in her playing and coaching careers by breaking down color barriers.
As a player in 1969 at West Chester University in West Chester, Pa., she was one of the first two African-American women to play for a United States national team. She then became the first
African-American woman to coach a United States team in international competition in 1983.
Aside from her accomplishments and hellacious work ethic, Washington also has the class and personality that best represents the University and its athletic department.
These days, it seems everyone is so quick to jump on the bandwagon to try and get Washington fired.
The team is in the third season of what has been a dry spell for the program. Since a 71-69 double-overtime loss to Vanderbilt in the first round of the 2000 NCAA tournament, Washington has not taken a team back to the postseason.
Even though positive results have not been coming lately, things are looking up

In three years at Kansas, I was never really sold on coach Washington until I had a chance to get to know her better this semester as The University Daily Kansan women's basketball reporter. And now, as I like to say, "she's good people." She's a great person and coach whose accomplishments, work ethic and fledgling young team are often out shadowed by the men's team and minimal fan support.
For a coach who has done and brought so much to the University for three decades, getting respect and having job security should not be cause for rumors, it should be a non-issue.

One month and Madness commences
Well, we're only one month away from March. And you know what that means. Ol' Saint Patty's Day? Spring break? That's all wrong. It's March Madness, Baby!
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2003
The term March Madness explains how multiple games happen every few days and the way a number 15-seed team can knock off a number two-seeded team and not even blink.
Who will get the invite and who will get snubbed? The committee may have a bit more trouble deciding who's in and who's out this year than it has in years past.
In about five weeks, the NCAA men's basketball committee will select and seed the 65 teams who will make up this year's bracket.
in the roller coaster ride that has been this year's college basketball season, 20 different teams have been ranked in the Top 10.
With all of the ups and downs this season, it's going to be harder than ever for the committee to determine which teams to select. Nearly every team in the Top 10 has two games that could result in losses.
It's not out of the question to foresee the 18-1 Louisville Cardinals as the No. 1 ranked team when the regular season ends. Rick Pitino's Cardinals have won 17 games in a row but still have to play Conference USA rival Marquette twice. The Cincinnati Bearcats will also pose a conference threat to Louisville.
Obviously Arizona, Texas and our beloved Jayhawks will make the tournament. Things aren't so certain for teams like Colorado and Minnesota. It really doesn't matter what teams are around one month from now. If the NCAA tournament is anything like the regular season, next month will be a March to remember.

Longhorns snap streak, defeat Sooners 67-61
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Brandon Mouton scored 14 points and Royal Ivey hit the key 3-pointer as No. 6 Texas defeated No. 5 Oklahoma 67-61 Monday night, snapping an eight-game losing streak against the Sooners.
The Longhorns (16-4, 7-2 Big 12) hadn't beaten their border rivals since Jan. 15, 2000. The skid included three straight defeats in the Big 12 tournament and an overtime loss in Austin last season.
Log on to www.hansan.com to cast your vote.
Hollis Price scored 23 points for Oklahoma (16-4,7-2),which dropped out of a tie for first place in the conference with Oklahoma State and Kansas.
A crowd of 15,783 came to the Frank Erwin Center _ easily the most raucous crowd in Texas coach Rick Barnes' five years in Austin _ eager to see Texas end the losing streak. When the final buzzer sounded, hundreds of students rushed the floor to mob the Texas players and sing "The Eves of Texas" with the pep band.
Texas, which led most of the game, was ahead 55-54 when Ivey nailed his second 3-pointer to give the Longhorns a four-point lead with 2:11 left to play.
The Sooners, used to getting the best of Texas, got to 60-59 on Price's fifth 3-pointer before Texas' Jason Klotz
dropped in a turnaround jumper. Texas made 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
Ivey finished with 14 points. James Thomas got his 10th double-double of the season with 11 points and 16 rebounds.
Kevin Bookout scored 12 points and Quannas White had 10 for the Sooners, who outshot Texas 42 percent to 39 percent but were also outrebounded 42-34.
The Sooners, who commit the fewest turnovers in the Big 12, had 14, and Texas turned them into 15 points.
Texas started quickly, hitting 12 of its first 21 shots and taking a 28-14 lead. The Sooners rallied behind Price, who hit consecutive 3-pointers, and closed the gap to 31-28 with 1:44 left in the half.
Texas stretched the lead to 36-28 and had a chance to seize momentum before Brian Boddicker, the team's best 3-point shooter, missed. Price then hit his fourth 3-pointer on the other end with 1.8 seconds left to make it 36-31 at halftime.
Oklahoma briefly held the lead in the second half when Ebi Ere's 3-pointer made it 45-45 with 14:06 to play. A layup by Thomas and a jumper by Ivey put Texas back on top, and the Longhorns didn't trail again.
Arizona reclaims No.1 spot; Alabama falls from rankings
The Associated Press
Arizona moved atop The Associated Press men's college basketball poll yesterday for the third time this season, while former No.1 Alabama dropped out of the Top 25.
In a season in which there has not been a clear-cut No.1, the Wildcats (18-2) moved up one place to retake the top spot they held in the preseason poll.
Louisville (18-1) moved up three spots to second. The Cardinals have the nation's longest winning streak at 17 games. Kentucky (18-3) also moved up three spots to third.
Florida (19-3), which moved into the No. 1 spot last week for the first time in school history, dropped to fourth following a 70-55 loss to Kentucky.
Alabama (13-7) has lost five of its last six games and dropped out from No. 22. The Crimson Tide, ranked No. 1 for the first time in school history six weeks ago, became the first team to fall from the rankings after being No. 1 since Indiana and Duke both did it in 1979-80, back when there was a Top 20.

"Ernest is an enthusiastic teacher of fundamentals," Mangino said. "He will develop our quarterback position, which is crucial to our scheme."
Collins previously held the same position for three seasons at Northern Colorado and before, at Northwest Missouri State.
He helped Northwest Missouri State win back-to-back national championships in 1998 and 1999.
Mangino also said that Clint Bowen would move from running backs coach to safeties and Pat Henderson will replace Bowen as running backs coach. Henderson was the secondary coach in 2002, his first season with Jayhawks.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Kirk Hinrich garners player of the week honors
Big 12 officials announced on Monday that Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich was selected as the Big 12 Player of the Week.
The Sioux City, Iowa senior led the Jayhawks with 26.0 points per game for the week with 72.4 percent shooting from the field and 54.5 percent from beyond the arc. He also averaged 4.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.5 steals for the week.
Hinrich tallied team-highs of 24 points and eight assists against Missouri last Monday, shooting 10-of-15 from the field, then came back on Saturday to record a game-high 28 points — one short of his career-high — on 11-of-16 shooting from the field to go with five rebounds and five assists against Kansas State.
He led Kansas in scoring 16 times this year and boasted 10 games with 20 plus points.
Kansas players won the honor of Player of the Week four times this season. Senior forward Nick Collison and Hinrich each won the award twice.

Men's track and field finishes second after all
As reported yesterday in the The University Daily Kansan, there was a scoring discrepancy in the men's results for the Illini Classic track and field meet.
The Kansas men's team finished second with 130 points behind Illinois' 136 points. Southern Illinois finished third with 128 points and Iowa State finished fourth with 61 points.
The original score had Kansas in third place behind Southern Illinois. That score neglected the scores of the final men's event, the 3,000-meter run.
Kansas freshman Benson Chesang won the 3,000-meter run to secure second place for the Jayhawks.

I think it's funny that K-State's so bad at basketball their fans wear the football ierses to the games.

I went to the KU-K-State game on Saturday, and I just want to say that K-State fans are not very tolerant of hippies.

Jordan plays in his last All-Star game, ties up loose ends
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — He passed on the perfect ending the last time he had the chance.
So Michael Jordan didn't mind Kobe Bryant erasing the one he cobbled together in the closing seconds of the first overtime in Sunday night's All-Star game. Not that he would ever admit otherwise.
"As much as I wanted to play well," Jordan said after his East side lost 155-145. "it felt good just being out there."
Anybody who still harbored doubts about his retirement can relax. Jordan is leaving this time for good. For most of his competitive life, you couldn't have pried a sentence like that out of him with a crowbar. Now you just hope it isn't followed by a torrent of tears.
When he was younger, Jordan
never worried about perfect endings or playing well, and he never, ever set foot on a court just to feel good "being out there." That was something the supporting actors said, not the guy who owned the spotlight.
But Jordan turns 40 in a week. And while that little "competition problem" his late father talked about still has Jordan in its grip, and probably always will, age has finally taught him a fact of life most of us are forced to learn much earlier. Nobody, not even Jordan, wins all the time.
To be sure, the night had already been humbling enough. There was the awkward maneuvering before the game to squeeze out a starting spot for Jordan, the 0-for-7 start from the field, the kitschy tribute delivered by Mariah Carey at halftime, and perhaps toughest of all.
seeing defenders swat his shots away with such practiced cool that they looked as though they had been doing it all their lives.
Still, there were only 4.8 seconds left in overtime when he swerved into the corner and made a high-arching 15-foot over Phoenix's Shawn Marion to give the East a two-point lead. But the Lakers' Bryant was fouled on a 3-point attempt at the other end with a second left.
The heir apparent made the first and missed the second. Jordan came over and said something.
"I was needling him, trying to get him to miss," Jordan said.
"He was talking trash," Bryant confirmed. "Part of me felt I had a job to do, but another part of me just didn't want to do it, to be honest with you."
The competitive part won out.
Bryant made the final free throw.
Jordan had one final attempt blocked and the game went into double overtime for the first time. There, MVP Kevin Garnett scored nine of his 37 points while Jordan watched the final five minutes from the bench.
Afterward, someone asked if the sequence when Bryant trumped Jordan's potential winner was part of a bigger picture, akin to a symbolic passing of the torch.
"Obviously," Jordan began, almost by instinct, "I'd much rather we won the game."
But then he quickly veered off down memory lane, echoing several of the things he touched during the halftime speech, about how important it was to pass on the lessons he learned from men like Julius Erving, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
"Now I can go home and feel at peace with the game of basketball," Jordan said at halftime.
To do that, Jordan had to tie up a few other story lines. And because he understands what it means to be playing on borrowed time, he made sure to get to those. There was a reconciliation with East coach Isiah Thomas, the 10 points Jordan needed to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the leading scorer in All-Star history, and proof that the game he was leaving behind would wind up in good hands.
The first time Jordan came out of retirement, he said it was to teach the knuckleheads and the flood of youngsters pouring in some respect. The jury is still on that one, but four of the starters Sunday, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal, jumped directly from high school to the pros and there wasn't a head case among them.
Jordan traveled everywhere and anywhere for a competitive fix, a kind of modern-day Ulysses roaming the world in sneakers and baggy shorts. He could have left in the most triumphant way, after his jumper gave the Bulls a sixth title in 1998, but the second time he came back for himself.
Now, he's finally come full circle. Jordan is on his last legs, happy to be out there, happy to pay the game back. The rest of his season will be played out quietly, and it will end somewhere well short of his expectations, and we'll hear more of the same we heard Sunday night.
But under his breath, the greatest player of his time, of any time, really, will walk off the stage muttering the same thing he was probably muttering Sunday night. "If only I could get that last shot back one more time."
Clemons concentrates on his game
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Home games for Ricky Clemons are easy, as if he'd never been arrested for allegedly choking, shoving and restraining a woman last month.
M
There were no boos for the Missouri point guard in his first game back after being reinstated following a one-game suspension, no derogatory posters, no protests. In the Hearnes Center, he remains a beloved member of the starting five of the 21st-ranked team, seemingly unscathed and innocent until proven otherwise.
Certainly, there have been distractions. Today, the same day the Tigers leave to play Texas A&M on tomorrow, he will be arraigned in Boone County Circuit Court on charges of second-degree assault stemming from an alleged attack on 20-year-old Jessica Bunge of St. Clair.
He was arrested Jan. 17 amid accusations he pulled Bunge's hair and bloodied her nose the previous night at his off-campus apartment. He has denied the allegations and soldiered on, immersing himself as much
as possible in the game, and insists it's not difficult to keep his mind on 3-pointers and assists.
"Nah." Clemons said Sunday after a victory over Texas Tech. "It's not tough at all."
On the road, though, the sit uation can get pretty dicey.
The student section at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence was merciless last Monday, greeting Clemons, 22, with chants of "Wo-man Beat-er" in the first half before coach Roy Williams walked over to the crowd and glared. Before the game, a female student with a black eye painted on her face wore a white T-shirt that read "I (heart) Clemons," dancing and inciting cheers and even getting pointers from a security guard.
Instead of sending the fan back to her seat, the guard gave her additional material by pantomiming a choking motion to the throat. That brought even
Whenever he touched the ball, which was all the time, there were boos.
At Texas, fans mobilized an hour before the game. There, they waved mug shots at Clemons, who was arrested but not prosecuted on a similar charge in 2001 at the College of Southern Idaho, and chanted, repeatedly, "No means no!"
Clemons must get used to it, with four more games away from the friendly confines before the Big 12 tournament next month.
"I think that's going to be what you expect going on the road," coach Quin Snyder said.
He'll be an easy target again at Texas A&M, both during the game and afterwards, when a member of the Sports Information Department again will be at his side for support.
"Basketball is my avenue." Clemons said getting 14 points and five assists Sunday. "So it's very easy to just concentrate on basketball."
Clemons, a junior college transfer from the College of Southern Idaho, is an indispensable member of the team known for his lightning-quick
moves to the basket and seemingly limitless 3-point range. The Tigers are thin as it is, with only eight scholarship players, and lost by 20 points at Oklahoma State in their only game without Clemons.
But it's clear he's struggled under the glare of unwelcome publicity.
He was a modest 4-for-10 shooting with five assists and four turnovers against Texas Tech, and has shot 36 percent with 17 assists and 27 turnovers since the suspension.
The situation has already affected the school. Athletic director Mike Alden said coaches will be more diligent in background checks of potential recruits, and that neutral university representatives will be involved in the reinstatement process. In Clemons' case, the decision was made by Alden, Snyder and Clemons' attorney.
Teammates say Clemons has held up admirably, under the circumstances.
"He's handling this probably better than any of us could," junior forward Travon Bryant said. "He's getting a lot of grief from people, but he's staying focused. That's tough."
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Eager to get the focus off its scandals and back on its athletes, the U.S. Olympic Committee had one final say on Lloyd Ward's woes and then created a task force to help it avoid future messes.
Whether it will be enough to satisfy Congress — not to mention the American public — remains to be seen.
"I don't think you change the world over the weekend. I think that it is a continuum," Ward said after the USOC's executive committee wrapped up a critical two-day meeting. "I think ultimately what blunts any criticism is not what occurs in a meeting, but what occurs in performance."
"The story will be written going forward, and it won't be one that has no history," the USOC's chief executive officer added. "But I think it will be one now where this weekend will create a little bit of air cover and a little bit of a runway so that we can do some good, and I'm excited about that."
The USOC hasn't had much to
be excited about in recent months. Since Ward was accused in December of trying to steer Olympic business to his brother's company, five USOC members have quit, president Marty Mankamyer resigned and the organization's leaders have been called before Congress.
Congress has the authority to revoke the USOC's charter, and senators have made it clear they want meaningful reform. One senator, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, even said Ward should resign because of his role in the recent scandals.
With another hearing scheduled Thursday, the USOC's executive committee gathered here this weekend knowing much was at stake.
The first issue to deal with was Ward's future. He's been a lightning rod for controversy since November, first for his membership at all-male Augusta National and then for the conflict-of-interest allegations involving his brother.
"I want closure to this." Ward said Saturday. "Whatever it takes, let's do it and move forward."

Green surprises favored Earnhardt at Daytona 500
The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Unheralded Jeff Green took the spotlight from Dale Earnhardt Jr. by winning the pole yesterday for the Daytona 500.
Earnhardt, who went into qualifying heavily favored to take his first Daytona pole after showing muscle by winning Saturday night's Bud Shootout, held the top spot on the speed chart with a lap of 186.382 mph.
Green, the next driver on the 2 1/2-mile Daytona International Speedway oval, pushed Earnhardt to the outside of the front row for the season-opening Winston Cup race with a fast lap of 186.606.
Green's Chevrolet was 0.058 seconds faster than that of Earnhardt.Those are the only cars with guaranteed starting positions for NASCAR's premier race.
while Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Inc. teammate Michael Waltrip wound up a disappointing second and fourth, it was a particularly good day for Richard Childress Racing—the team for which the late Dale Earnhardt won six of his seven series championships.
Green's teammates, Robby Gordon and Kevin Harvick, were third and sixth in qualifying.
Green, who won the Busch Series title in 2000, is starting his second full season with Childress. The 40-year-old driver, one of three racing brothers from
Owensboro, Ky., said the pole performance was no surprise to him.
"There's been a lot of work done in the last few months in our shop and the new Monte Carlo is a phenomenal car," he said. "Chevrolet gave us something this year we can really race with."
"And (new crew chief) Mike Beam really turned us around."
Chevrolets took the top four positions and six of the top eight.
"I'm still nervous." Green said. "I feel like I just ran a lap at Darlington, and you know how that is. Now we've got to go out and run strong in the race and the rest of the season and show how much we've improved."
Earnhardt called the day "bittersweet." He badly wanted the pole, but had never qualified better than 15th for this race.
"Of course I'm satisfied," he said. "It was a fantastic lap. We have a lot to be proud of, we improved so much, and we've got a locked-in position in the race."
With the front row decided on yesterday — 24 hours after rain prevented qualifying—the rest of the 43-car field will be filled Thursday.
Under the unique qualifying format for the 500, positions 3 through 30 are determined in twin 125-mile qualifying races, with 14 coming out of each race. Positions 31-36 go to the fastest drivers yesterday who haven't
already qualified. The rest of the lineup is filled by provisional starters, based on last year's car owner points.
Series champion Tony Stewart blew his engine on his first of two qualifying laps and failed to post a time. He will start no worse than 37th, on car-owner points, but will try to improve on that Thursday.
It was reminiscent of last year, when Stewart finished last in the race after his engine went up in smoke on the second lap.
Following the Chevys of Gordon at 185.927 and Waltrip at 185.460 came the Ford of Ricky Rudd, making his debut with the Wood Brothers, at 185.372.
Harvick's Monte Carlo was
next at 185.063 and the Ford of three-time Daytona 500 winner Dale Jarrett followed at 184.957
Rounding out the top 10 were the Chevy of Stewart's teammate, Bobby Labonte at 184.942 and the Dodges of two-time Daytona 500 champion Sterling Marlin at 184.725 and Kyle Petty at 184.668.
Rookie Jamie McMurray, who set a record last fall by winning at Winston Cup race in his second start — as a sub for the injured Marlin — was 11th in a Dodge at 184.502.
Two-time Daytona 500 champion Jeff Gordon, always among the favorites in the race, qualified all the way back in 29th at 183.221.
Texas Tech baseball sweeps series
By Jason Lenz
University Daily, Texas Tech via U-Wire
LUBBOCK, Texas — Coming off a 21-4 rout of West Texas A&M on Tuesday, the Texas Tech Red Raiders faced off against the Toreros of the University of San Diego in a three-game series this weekend.
Tech swept the series with 8-3 and 7-3 victories Saturday, followed by Sunday's dramatic 15-13 victory.
game, a signal of things to come.
Saturday's doubleheader began at noon. Although snow flurries floated through the chilly air, the Raiders were red hot.
In game one, Tech scored three runs in the first inning and four runs in the eighth. Junior second baseman Josh Haney went 2-4 with two RBIs in the
Following the series, Haney observed a newfound confidence in the hitting.
"The lineup is starting to gel good together," Haney said. "That's the big thing about us. If one guy doesn't take care of it, then the next guy's going to step in."
Although junior Steve Gooch walked a career-high four hitters in game one, his six-inning, six-hit effort was good enough to give him his second win in as many attempts. Junior Juan Razo notched his first save of the year.
In game two Saturday, San Diego jumped out on top 2-0 going into the bottom of the fourth inning. Haney stepped up with runners on the corners and no outs. He took a 2-2 pitch over the left-field fence, and Tech
Tech scored five runs in the fourth inning and added insurance runs in the fifth and sixth, giving the Raiders a 7-3 victory.
Game three Sunday was a shootout. Defensively, both teams may have needed extra fielders, as baseballs kept raining all over the park.
Tech had a 4-0 lead going into the top of the third when the Toreros scored five on two doubles, a single and a triple off senior right-hander Dusty Buck.
The teams battled back and forth for the remainder of the game. The game went into the ninth inning tied, 13-13. After a leadoff double by sophomore Cody Fuller, junior designated hitter Evan Shahak came to the plate.
"I was surprised they were
going to throw to me," Shahak said. "I think they thought I was going to bunt to move the runner over to third, so they gave me a fastball right there, right over the heart of the plate."
Shahak took that fastball over the left-field fence, his fifth homer this season, giving Tech a nail-biting 15-13 win and a sweep in the series.
"Right now, we're on fire, Bruce said. "I think we might be one of the hottest teams playing baseball."
Ever since the 9-6 loss to New Mexico on Feb.2, Tech has been unstoppable. Bruce said that game may have been a wake-up call for the Raiders.
"They came in here and beat us on our own field when we had a chance to sweep," he said. "So I think that fired us up."
Longhorn offense spurs victory in doubleheader
By Natalie England Daily Texan, University of Texas via U-Wire
AUSTIN, Texas After the first two games of their three-game set with the University of Texas-Arlington were postponed due to cold, drizzly weather, the sun finally came out for the Longhorns.
And that sun reheated Texas' bats. After only mounting five hits in the loss Tuesday to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Texas dominated Sunday's double-header, claiming two wins over the Mavericks, 8-2 and 11-3.
But initially it didn't look that way.
In the Mavericks' top half of the first inning with the bases juiced, Robby Deevers hit a two-run single to give UTA an early two-run lead.
The Longhorns came back in the bottom of the first to knot the game at two.
It stayed that way until the bottom of the fifth inning with third baseman Michael Hollimon stepped to the plate.
Roping a 3-1 pitch over the right field fence, the sophomore gave the Longhorns the lead for good.
That game-breaking round-tripper highlighted Hollimon's three-hit, two-RBI day.
"I was seeing the ball really well," Hollimon said. "It was just one of those days. Everything was feeling good, and I got it going pretty well. Offense is contagious."
Contagious like the flu apparently, as after Hollimon's fifth inning homer, the Longhorns launched into a four-run sixth inning.

Baylor will look to contain junior forward Bryant Nash when they take on the Jayhawks tonight in Waco, Texas. Despite preseason hopes, Baylor currently resides in last place in the Big 12 Conference with a 1-7 record.
Hawks

"You can't just talk about something that three out of your 13 players remember anything about at all." Williams said at a teleconference yesterday. "We won't spend very much time on it, and at the same time, I'll probably mention it in passing. But if I have to go back to that stage just to get something accomplished with the team, I'm worried about this team."
ence's Player of the Week.
Lately, Williams hasn't had to worry about senior guard Kirk Hinrich. The preseason All-American added another award to his resume when Big 12 officials named him the confer-
"I'm really happy for him," Williams said. "He's had two or three games this year that have not been typical Kirk Hinrich games, and people have tended to focus on that, but he's having a great, great year for us."
Hinrich scored 24 points against Missouri and 28 against K-State last week, shooting a combined 72.4 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from three-point range in the games.
If his statistics weren't warning enough, he sent a verbal message to Baylor and the rest of the league just moments after helping Kansas win its 25th straight game against K-State.
Hinrich was named the best player in the Big 12 one week after senior forward Nick Collison accepted the award.
"We're about keeping our Big 12 streak going," Hinrich said.
Kansas has won three consecutive games and 23 of its last 24.
Along with junior forward Bryant Nash, Hinrich and Collison are the Jajhwaws returning to play in the Bears' Ferrel Center.
It would be difficult for Hinrich to improve on his performance in the teams' last meeting in Waco. He scored 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting, sharing high-scorer honors with former Jaya-hawk forward Eric Chenowith. Collison scored 15 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, while Nash recorded 2 points in 10 minutes.

UConn tops women's poll
The top 10 is becoming tough to crack in women's basketball.
The Associated Press
Connecticut remained a unanimous choice at No.1 and the teams in the first 11 spots stayed the same for the third straight week Monday in The Associated Press poll.
Two newcomers broke in further down the list, Rutgers at No. 23 and Arizona at No. 24. Oklahoma dropped out to end a string of 58 straight appearances in the poll.
to 61, the second longest in NCAA basketball history.
Connecticut (22-0) received all 44 first-place votes from a national media panel and had 1,100 points after beating St. John's and Boston College to run its winning streak
The Huskies replaced Duke as the No.1 team last week after beating the Blue Devils in Durham, N.C. Duke (21-1) bounced back from its loss to beat Clemson 61-49 and remained second with 1.041 points.
Tennessee held at No. 3 and was followed by LSU, Kansas State, Stanford, Texas Tech and North Carolina. The only change in that group was Texas Tech alone in seventh after being tied with North Carolina last week.
No. 9 Purdue and No. 10 Louisiana Tech traded places, and Texas was 11th for the third straight week.
The top 11 teams went 18-0 last
week, with only five of those games decided by fewer than 10 points. LSU defeated two ranked teams, then-No. 16 South Carolina and then-No. 12 Mississippi State.
Connecticut had a tough game before pulling out an 83-75 victory at Boston College, ranked 23rd at the time.
No.12 Penn State and No.13 Arkansas each moved up one spot, while Georgia jumped three places to 14th. South Carolina climbed one place to 15th and was followed by Mississippi State, Minnesota, Vanderbilt, Villanova and Cal Santa Barbara.
Wisconsin-Green Bay, Ohio State, Rutgers, Arizona and Boston College held the final five places.
Men's conference title race heated during mid-season
The Associated Press
DALLAS — The Big 12 men's basketball season has reached the midpoint, and the only thing settled is that it's going to be a heck of a race to sort out the top seeds in the conference tournament.
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Kansas all came out of the first eight games with one loss. Texas had only lost twice, yet is No.6 in the country, second-best among Big 12 teams.
"A lot of times in years past, there's been one team that has sort of separated themselves," Kansas coach Roy Williams said Monday in a weekly conference call with reporters. "Right now, no one has."
The second half tipped off in style last night with the two highest-ranked teams — No. 5 Oklahoma and No. 6 Texas — meeting in Austin.
The Sooners, Longhorns,
Cowboys and Jayhawks are still
good bets to finish in the top four
when the season ends March 9.
Doing so means a first-round bye
in the conference tournament.
others once. The Longhorns have the two against the Sooners and Oklahoma State once.
What remains to be determined is what order they'll be in.
Looking at the head-to-head schedule for those four teams, Oklahoma has the toughest road and Kansas the easiest.
The No. 13 Cowboys play OU, UT and Kansas once, plus have a game in Boulder, where Colorado has knocked off Texas and Kansas.
Counting last night's game, the Sooners must play four of their last eight against its top challengers — Texas twice and the
The No. 9 Jayhawks play at Oklahoma and are at home against Oklahoma State.
Williams compares these final nine games to the final nine holes of the Masters.
"That's where the tournament is won and lost," he said.
For the league's second tier, the closing stretch is a chance to impress the NCAA tournament's selection committee. The Big 12 has had six teams make it the last three years.
"I think for sure six teams will and should get NCAA bids," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton. "There's seven quality teams in this league that all could get in."
The Big 12 is third in RPI ratings, which could help the chances of a seventh team getting invited. The league's ranking was boosted by going 112-31 in non-conference play. The 78.3 winning percentage is tops in the Big 12's seven-year history, and the 112 wins tied the mark set last season.
"In this league, you can be improved and not show any gain up the ladder. As a matter of fact, you can improve and slide back one," Sooners coach Kelvin
Sampson said.
The middle section of the standings are stacked with No. 21 Missouri (5-3 in Big 12), Colorado (4-4), Texas Tech (3-5) and Texas A&M (3-5).
"There's always room for improvement. I never seen a perfect player or a perfect team." Red Raiders coach Bob Knight said, "I'd like us to average 150 points a game, and we're not quite doing that right now."
Missouri has had to juggle to replace some key players. Coach Quin Snyder said 6-foot-10 reserve Jeffrey Ferguson is expected to return Wednesday night against the Aggies. He's missed three games because of a disciplinary suspension.
The Bucks have won every home game and lost every road game. A loss to Nebraska, which hasn't beaten anyone else in the Big 12, looks even worse considering Colorado is talented enough to have beaten Texas and Kansas.
A&M is buoyed by senior Bernard King, who on Saturday became the leading scorer in conference history, and Antoine Wright, who yesterday was named the league's newcomer of the week for the fourth time.
"In past years, it seemed like our season was over at this point," Aggies coach Melvin Watkins said. "Now it feels like we're in the hunt. There's light at the end of the tunnel, and the kids see that."
Senate bill to review paying college athletes for playing
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. - It doesn't matter that the team just completed its worst season in 40 years. One state senator still believes University of Nebraska football players deserve to be paid for their efforts.
At the absolute least. NCAA rules prohibiting compensation for college football players should be less restrictive and
unreasonable, Omaha Sen. Ernie Chambers said yesterday while presenting his idea to other lawmakers in legislative session.
Chambers has introduced a bill (LB688) that would require football players to be paid a stipend if at least three other states in the Big 12 Conference pass similar laws for athlete students.
Chambers said he introduced
the proposal to lawmakers to put pressure on the NCAA to liberalize its rules governing financial assistance to college players.
"It will be a powerful message to the NCAA that legislators are looking at this issue," Chambers said at his hearing before the Business and Labor Committee.
The NCAA had not seen the bill and therefore had no immediate comment, said Monica Lunderman, an NCAA spokeswoman at the organization's Indianapolis headquarters.
Chambers said college players worked harder than professional athletes, and brought in millions of dollars to the university through the sport they played, yet they did not get a share of the money.
In the last 10 years, the Nebraska football program has gen-

SLAB members visit legislature
Students spend their day lobbying representatives

Johanna Maska and Katie Wolff, Student Legislative Awareness Board members, talk with Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, associate vice provost for student support, at Topeka for State Education Day. Yesterday was the first time this semester SLAB has lobbied at the Capitol building. They will continue to travel to Topeka every week to talk with legislators about higher education.

Members of the University of Kansas' Student Legislative Awareness Board lobbied state legislators yesterday in Topeka for State Education Day.
Cate Batchelder/Kansan
Between five and 10 students from each of the six Regents schools, including 10 from the University, began their efforts to make higher education issues known to legislators. This was the first time SLAB had gone to the Capitol building this semester and the first time for some SLAB members to lobby.
Molly McMurray, SLAB forums coordinator, is new to the lobbying efforts. Early in the day, she met with Rep. R.J. Wilson, D-Pittsburg, to talk about tuition increases. She said he was concerned with higher education because he represented a Regents school district.
"It's really given our SLAB members a chance to get their feet wet, walk around, look at different offices and find out where we need to be," Johanna Maska, SLAB director, said.
Later that morning, McMurray met with Rep. Nile Dillmore, D-Wichita, who took her inside a House Democratic agenda meeting. Dillmore introduced McMurray to the rest of the legislators, who applauded her. During the meeting she was given copies of bills and heard their discussion.
"It's great to see how willing all the representatives and senators are to talk to you."
Molly McMurray SLAB forums coordinator
Adam Obley, lobby coordinator, briefly spoke with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. He said she reaffirmed her commitment to higher education in Kansas. SLAB and Student Body President Jonathan Ng were hoping to meet longer with Sebelius but were not able to.
Maska and other SLAB members tracked down Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, between her meetings. One concern KU's SLAB board addressed was making sure financial aid increased proportionately to tuition increases.
Ballard, who is also associate vice provost for student support at the University, said this issue was crucial because many college students planned their budgets over five years. Tuition increases from fiscal year 2003 upset students' financial plans and probably would again next year, she said.
"I think that we have to have that balanced especially for people who have a plan of how they are going to finance their education," Ballard said.
Midway through the day, Maska said legislators had given the board a positive
response.
"Legislators for the most part are in favor of higher education. Why not be?" she said. "But the problems are going to come when they start asking for tax increases and
the money to fund higher education."
SLAB members will continue to lobby every week at the Capitol but Maska said it was hard to judge the progress of Sebelius' budget through the legislature. As
funding bills begin to go through, she said they would know which legislators they needed to lobby.

Kyou to add features
New portal to have online enrollment, new course catalog

jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas student portal, Kyou, on its way to completion.
The portal's services will expand to include more services such as online enrollment, online voting for student senate elections and an integrated timetable and course catalog.
Julie Loats, Web administrator and
project manager for Kyou, said the portal differed from a Web site in several ways.
"The portal is a place on the Web where one can do a lot of things," said Loats at an open forum yesterday in the Union. "It allows a user to personalize and customize the look and feel of the site along with the content and its location."
The forum was an opportunity to offer suggestions on services to include in the final version of the portal. The final version will be available by the start of the fall semester.
The portal provides 24-hour access seven days a week to services under one login. As of now, students have access to current and future class schedules, financial aid information, grades and the student book exchange.
On March 10, the timetable and the integrated course catalog will be available. At this time, students will also be able to get their enrollment start time. Students will also use the portal for access to online enrollment.
Michelle Commons, Emporia senior, said she was not impressed with the new Kyou portal.
"I used to know exactly how to get to everything I wanted," said Commons. "Now I have to search through a bunch of stuff to find anything."
Loats said other services would be added based on responses from open forums and other small meetings.

Student revels in Popple pastime

Elizabeth Gardner, Lincoln, Neb., senior, prepares to display one of the Popples she made. "A lot of my work deals with comfort," Gardner said. "I like to look into my past." Gardner's work will be on display in the Kansas Union this week.
By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Gardner, Lincoln, Neb., senior, just completed knitting five Popples, including one that is 6-feet tall. The Poples represented five stages of her life.
"People tell me that they can picture me as an 80-year-old Popple," Gardner said. "The newest Popple isn't sealed up all the way. It represents me as I am opening up and not as shut off to the world."
Elizabeth Gardner identifies with Popples — the childhood stuffed-animals that were popular in the mid-1980s.
Gardner didn't start knitting until a friend taught her during her sophomore year of college.
Gardner played with Popples as a child and discovered that her knitting pieces took Popple form.
In addition to the woolly Popples, Gardner knits with unconventional materials such as wire. Her latest piece is
"It's really more of an organic form," Gardner said. "It was more about the process than the form itself. Some people say that it looks like a garment, and other people say that it looks phallic."
made of small and large gauge wire.
"I'm a night girl," Gardner said. "I can stay up really late knitting. My roommates have to accept my messiness. There's fiber all over our house."
Gardner knits best in the evening hours.
Gardner said knitting was therapeutic. After graduation, Gardner would like to pursue a job in art therapy.
"It's hard to make it as an artist without having another source of income," Gardner said.
Gardner's works are on display and for sale on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union this week. She constructed the display for a class, but she said she wanted to sell some of the artwork.

Health care wait will lessen with new triage system
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students who want to see a doctor no longer have to spend as much time in the waiting room.
Watkins Memorial Health Center has a triage nurse system and information on its Web site to shorten students' waiting time.
Before even going to the office, students can call and talk to a triage nurse. The triage nurse can talk to students about their symptoms and help them decide whether they need to make an appointment, said Myra Strother, associate director and chief of staff of Watkins.
If they don't need to make an appointment, the triage nurse can educate the students on how to take care of their symptoms. And for students who need to be seen right away, the triage nurse has access to emergency slots in the doctors' schedules, Strothers said.
Another option for students seeking medical help before they wait to see a doctor is the Watkins Web site.
The information is from HealthyLife's Students' Self-Care Guide from the American Institute for Preventive Medicine in Farmington Hills, Mich., Watkins started putting the information on its Web site in August.
The Web site gives students information about their symptoms and helps them decide if they need to see a doctor Strother said.
"This is our piece to try to give the students as much information and a
taster contact with somebody that answers questions," she said.
The information is especially helpful for students who are hesitant to go the doctor right away, Strother said.
The Watkins Web site at www.ku.edu/~shs, also provides links to other credible medical Web sites, she said.
"Before it used to be a three- or four-hour wait," she said. "But we are able to take care of some of the minor things, so they don't have to wait to see a provider."
Helping students with problems such as class notes, sore throats and counseling are other tasks the triage nurses tend to, said Tammy Guinn, head triage nurse at Watkins.
Instead of all students just walking in to the office and waiting to see a doctor, if they call first, the triage nurse can help decide who needs to be seen immediately. Strother said.
"They can prioritize people and that's been the reason we wanted triage," she said.
Another responsibility for the triage nurses, Guinn said, is to educate students about important health topics.
The triage nurse system has been a success with students. Strother said.
"Students have been real pleased with it," she said. "They seem to be a lot happier than having to sit and wait when they aren't feeling good."
Chris Steppig, Platte City, Mo., junior, goes to Watkins for medical care and said his wait to see the doctor had been decent. The triage nurses are a good way to cut down on waiting time, he said.

SPACE CENTER, Houston — The head of the Columbia investigation expressed confidence yesterday the panel would solve the mystery, and said it would stitch together photos, video, radar and other data into a

"The professional team I have here has solved accidents with less evidence," retired Navy Adm. Harold Gehman Jr. said. "There's a lot of data and more data coming. We haven't even started debris analysis vet."
The evidence released so far suggests Columbia's troubles began in the left wing.

Bin Laden advises Iraqis to attack United States
DOHA, Qatar—A voice believed to be Osama bin Laden's urged Iraqis to carry out suicide attacks against Americans and draw U.S. troops into combat in Iraqi cities. U.S. officials said the call broadcast yesterday proved the world must fear Saddam Hussein's ties to the Al Qaeda terror network.
The appeal was made in a voice tape aired by the Al-Jazeera satellite television station throughout the Arab world.
"This nexus between terrorists and states that are developing weapons of mass destruction can no longer be looked away from and ignored," Secretary of State Colin Powell told the Senate Budget Committee.
On the tape, the speaker advised Iraqis how to fight the Americans, based on Al Qaeda's experience in Afghanistan.
The speaker urged Iraqis to draw Americans into urban combat.

Music model assists epilepsy data
By Kellay Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Faculty members at the University of Kansas are working to bring epilepsy research and music together.
A musical model will help simplify the details and problems researchers can run into when studying the brain activity during a seizure because the ear has a higher resolution than the eye when processing patterns, said Ivan Osorio, associate professor of neurology.
Osorio and Kip Haaheim associate professor of music, are two members of a team converting brain waves recorded during an epileptic seizure into a musical model. The model will attribute a different key note to the axons of the brain, which are neuro-networks connected
throughout the brain.
"This model will use all quantitative attempts to transduce a seizure into music." Osorio said. "It will more faithfully reflect the changes that happen at an electrical level."
After the music is put into a musical model, Osorio said it would help change the parameters in analyzing an epileptic seizure.
Sanjah Singh, director of the epilepsy program at the University of Nebraska, said using music to model a seizure has never been thoroughly explored. Research has found links between epilepsy and music, Singh said, and he can understand why Osorio was interested in developing this research.
"The only issue is that brain waves during a seizure have so many abnormal patterns that are so varied the difference can be
University of Kansas faculty members are working on a musical model for epilepsy to simplify the details and problems researchers can run into when studying the brain activity during a seizure.
subtle and it could be really challenging to interpret the data," Singh said.
The team has been researching the project since fall of 2001. In Spring 2002, Osorio, Haaheim and others completed a musical representation of an epileptic seizure. Haaheim said the project last spring worked as an interface between the public
and the confusing, sometimes misunderstood, epileptic seizure.
In October 2002, a PBS documentary that featured Osorio's work included the two-minute Mozart's Symphony #40 in Gminor. By forming a two-minute orchestral piece that sounded like the brain activity during a seizure it connected with the public on an emotional level and also was educational, Haaheim said.
"When you're a doctor and trying to explain what epilepsy is to a business man who wants to donate $10 million it's easier to have him listen to a powerful musical piece representing a seizure than trying to explain through formulas and mathematics what happens," Haaheim said.

Sides of peace pole sprayed by vandals
By Erin Ohm

Kansan staff writer
Two sides of a peace pole were spray-painted black on the lawn of Ecumenical Christian Ministries by an unknown vandal yesterday.
This is the fourth vandalism at the ECM, 1204 Oread Ave., since someone tore down a large anti-war sign last month, said Rev. Thad Holcombe, campus pastor at ECM. During the second and third occurrences, the sign was damaged further.
Holcombe reported the vandalism to the Lawrence Police Department yesterday. He did not file a police report for the first three incidents, and he said he had hoped ECM would not
experience further problems. Such acts of vandalism were difficult to prevent, Holcombe said
Lisa Wilkinson, Lawrence senior, helped make the anti-war sign. She said the acts of vandalism were discouraging, but ECM would continue advocating peace.
About a week ago, ECM began taking the sign down every night to prevent damage, but the peace pole is a permanent monument. It reads "May peace prevail on the earth" in nine languages, and it was dedicated in October 2002 at the University of Kansas Open House.
The pole is one of five peace poles in Lawrence. Lawrence police could not be reached.
Consul general of Japan to share experiences with students
- Edited by Leah Shaffer
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The consul general of Japan at Kansas City will speak at the Kansas Union today about his personal experiences in North Korea and the relations of Japan and North Korea.
Takao Shibata said he would cover three issues: humanitarian efforts by the United Nations in North Korea, normalization of Japan and North Korea's relationship and the hot topic of North Korea's development of weapons of mass destruction.
Shibata visited North Korea in 1998 to 1999 as a staff member
for the United Nations on the International Fund for Agricultural Development to help solve food shortage issues in North Korea.
"It's not so reported what the United Nations and other people are doing in North Korea for humanitarian aid," Shibata said. "I thought it would be of interest to talk about North Korea. It is a very mysterious country."
The issue of humanitarian aid in North Korea is important and must be balanced with the need to contain the development of weapons of mass destruction, Shibata said.
Explaininq to students the suffering of the North Korean people and that they do not agree with their leader Kim Jong-il is on Shibata's agenda for today's speech.
Shibata said when he visited the provinces of North Korea, it was like being in another world.
"I got the feeling that I was on a time machine and returned 50, 60 or 100 years back in time," Shibata said. "I realized I was in a country that had ceased to develop.
There were extremely poor and hungry people. I can't describe in words what those people were living in."
Since the end of World War II in 1945, Shibata said the relationship between North Korea and
"He is a very polished diplomat, a very learned man with a strong academic background. I think we will all learn something from his speech."
Elaine Gerbert Director of the Center of East Asian Studies
Japan had been poor.
Normalizing interactions between North Korea and Japan is unfinished business and should be resolved, Shibata said.
The consul general of Japan said he looked forward to coming to the University to speak about North Korea and Japan.
The interest that the University has shown in East Asian Studies was unexpected, Shibata said.
"In a way it is surprising that there is such interest in East Asian studies in Lawrence, Kan.," Shibata said. "I am actually impressed with the enthusiasm I have received from the University of Kansas."
Elaine Gerbert, director of the Center for East Asian Studies and associate professor of modern Japanese literature, invited the consul general to the
University of Kansas to speak and said he was an expert on North Korea.
The speech is at 1:30 p.m. in the Malott Room at the Kansas Union.
"He is a very polished diplomat, a very learned man with a strong academic background," Gerbert said. "I think we will all learn something from his speech."
After visiting North Korea as a United Nations worker, and not as a diplomat from Japan, Shibata said he developed a unique insight into North Korea and wanted to share it with people in the Midwest.

Private funding enhances diversity
Chris Moore for The University Daily Kansan
The University of Kansas needs money to improve education for its students. Budget cuts have ended services jobs of KU faculty and staff
Private funding and donations are an excellent way to bring in new professors and meet the needs of more students.
Last Thursday, Board of Regents member William R. Docking and his wife, Judy, committed to a $1 million donation. The University will use part of this gift to fund a the salary of a new business professor. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said private gifts were needed to attract and retain students and professors. Docking's contribution displayed his awareness of this need.
Private donations are a way for alumni and members of the community to make a positive impact on the University. Education will continue, regardless of the budget. These extra donations ensure that KU students will not miss out on new professors and new perspectives.
Donors have the future of the University in mind and they should be commended.
Meghan Brune for the editorial board
The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center began collecting donations two years ago after the University agreed to match funds and hire a professor of Catholic thought. St. Lawrence completed its goal in December and pre
sent its gift to the religious studies department. There has not been a professor of Catholic thought since the religious studies department became part of the University in 1977.
In exchange for the donation, the religious studies department will keep an open line of communication with the church. St. Lawrence will not have a vote for the new professor, nor will it develop a curriculum for the professor, because the University is a state institution and law separates the church from the department of religion. The Rev. Vince Krische said St. Lawrence was nappy to help the University in this tight economic period because he wanted to provide educational opportunities for students.
PERSPECTIVE
U.S. culture provides protective 'bubble' that bursts when abroad
Editor's note: Stauffer writes a bi-weekly column about her experiences studying abroad. She is participating in the humanities and Western Civilization program in Florence, Italy, and Paris
COMMENTARY
At first, I thought studying abroad would be like living in a bubble. Without morning National Public Radio, the evening news, and the constant buzz of conversation about U.S. current events, I thought I'd be oblivious and would leave concerns about U.S. conflicts at home.
PLEASE READ THE LABELING BEFORE YOU DATE IT.
I was wrong. of course.
In fact, I found I was living in a bubble in Lawrence. While at the University of Kansas, I may have filled my head with facts and watched the talking heads on television yammer on, but all the information I absorbed was from the same bubble — the United States.
Living in Italy has burst that protective shield and opened my eyes. At first, it was strange and difficult to see pace, or peace, flags billowing from windowsills on my walk to class or to hear anti-war talk at

the table next to me in a café. While out enjoying a glass of wine with friends, it is not uncommon to be asked by a stranger, "What are you?" They don't want to know that I'm a Gemini! They want to know if I'm for or against going to war.
Answering this question can be difficult enough living in Lawrence, but when speaking to a European, it is on an entirely new level. At first, I wanted to be defensive and support my country. It's instinctual, like punching a bully or beating up your little brother.
Now I realize that what I say matters less than how I listen to others. So it clicked with me — it is important to understand how the United State's actions
affect the whole world, and not just my old bubble, the United States. At first I dismissed any Italian critics toward the United States as anti-American and mean. But as an Italian friend named Christian said, Italians are not anti-American, just conflicted. So many of us are.
This makes sense when one realizes how much the actions of the United States affect not just its citizens, but the world. You don't have to live in Florence to burst your bubble. Talk to international students about their feelings about war with Iraq, watch the British Broadcasting Corporation or read an international newspaper. Not only will it open your mind, it will surprise you how closely every other country is watching us and how little we know about them.
As I passed anti-war graffiti this weekend in Rome, I didn't feel angry and defensive as I might have a few weeks ago. Instead, I read the Sunday paper with new eyes — international ones.

Confront war with eyes wide open
PERSPECTIVI
It's as though I have to make excuses for my country and its people's willingness to believe what is placed in front of them. I constantly make excuses for the negligence of my generation's attitude and interests.
Editor's note: Cullerton writes a biweekly column about her experiences while studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain.
After arriving in the crowded streets of Barcelona, it took only a week to discover experiences and integrate myself in discussions that have undoubtedly challenged my view of patriotism and being American.
We accept scandal because it is everywhere. We are watching the economy fall and we haven't seemed to voice much concern. If war does take place, we will all feel the effects of it. Take responsibility for the actions of our country and the decisions of our government. After all, they are reflections of us.
We are a generation of young Republicans marinating in material possessions and willing to believe what we are told, regardless of the truth. Some believe we are a lost cause. We will get our degrees and find a dehumanizing job, settle down and fall victim to popular opinion.
When we face the threat of a world war, why are we not interested in our future?
If this violation of humanity happened in any other country, people would be in the s.eetrs demanding justice. What did we do in America? We watched it on television while relaxing on a La-Z-Boy sofa, shaking our heads just long enough to realize that prime time started in one minute. Is this living?
What we fail to realize, however, is that our government is beginning to resemble more of a dictatorship than a democracy.
Take the presidential election, for instance. Is it coincidental that George Bush's cousin had the final say in the Florida mix up? Even if it is, have we verbalized our concern for longer than one frustrating night?
I've spoken with people of varied ages
from Sweden, France, Spain and the United States this past week about world politics. Many see George Bush as a domineering moron, incapable of honesty, hungry for power and willing to sacrifice justice for prosperity. People think Americans are a reflection of this reality. Can we blame them? It's starting to look as though patriotism has turned into a fad. There is a company that makes magnetic patriotic bumper stickers. That might suggest that, when it's no longer trendy to love our country, we can easily remove the sticker.
Sure, we have rights, freedom and a voice in the United States. That is why we need to take advantage of being American and express our concerns. I refuse to settle for the injustice we are sprinkling throughout the rest of our world. We are the future, and it's frightening that our interests are limited. Our eyes are closed, and the fresh wounds of war are becoming a blinding reality.

Kansan writers should write their articles assuming that all their readers have ADD. That way people like me might actually finish reading one of their boring articles.
I figured the real reason we haven't gone to war yet: The Bush sisters want their dad to wait for the U.N. so that they can read "United States heads joint operation in Iraq" in the newspaper headlines.

Muslim women to inform students
By Gail Creek
ccreek@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bv Cal Creek
Eid Al Adha, the second Muslim holiday of the year, has Muslim women busier than ever.
The first entirely women Muslim organization at the University of Kansas, the KU Muslim Women, began when President Mariam Papa, Leawood sophomore, and Vice President Eman Ismaiel, Cairo, Egypt, junior, organized the club with eight other Muslim students. They registered as an official club this semester and applied for funding from Student Senate to
assist in their plans for the semester.
"Ilam is a unifying religion and Muslims come from so many different countries, we want to show the cultural diversity." Ismaiel said.
The organization has two goals, to unify female Muslims on campus and to educate the non-Muslim student body.
"No one will come and ask me why I wear what I do, and why I talk the way I do, and I want to tell them this is who I am," Fatma Alamari, KUMW treasurer and Muscat, Oman junior said.
The group meets at 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday in the main lobby of the Kansas Union. The meetings
focus on the club's upcoming events.
KUMW's first event of the semester will be on Feb. 27 when Jeffrey Lang, professor of math and a practicing Muslim, will give a lecture titled "Struggling to Surrender" at 7 p.m. in the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union.
Student Association, is a gathering of more than 25 international student organizations to promote their cultures, which will be held in April.
The group also plans to have a table at the World Expo in the Union and host a Henna Night, in which they invite female students to draw henna, or temporary tattoos, on their arms, sample Muslim food and learn about different Muslim cultures. The World Expo, organized by the International
"We want to do a whole week of Islam awareness," Alamari said.
They also try to help out the Muslim community.
The organization has 25 members,but they are always looking to add more.
"We urge people to come and join us," Ismaiel said. "At least come to our first event."

Multicultural sorority hosts African lecture
By Eddie Yang
eyang@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In honor of Black History Month, Sigma Lambda Gamma is hosting the lecture, "How African culture has impacted Latin America." The hour-long lecture, given by Peter Ukpokodu, chairman of the African and African-American studies department, will be today at 6:30 p.m. in the English Room of the Kansas Union.
Kristy Croom, president of the Delta Alpha Chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma, said their sorority wanted to find a creative way to celebrate African-American history.
"My sorority is a Latino-based multicultural sorority," Croom said. "Cultural awareness is one of our founding principles, to educate others about different cultures."
Garth Myers, professor of African studies, said the lecture might help students to appreciate common ties.
"So much of the time we look at
differences," Myers said.
Myers said African religion, philosophy,music,language, food and agriculture have impacted Latin America.
"In terms of population, Brazil is heavily influenced," Myers said. "There are estimates that 45 to 50 percent of Brazil's population has African blood."
Myers said that Africans were a big influence in Latin America because of slavery.
"Slavery produced 90 percent of the slaves in the new world that didn't land in the U.S." Myers said. "Forty percent landed in Brazil, 40 percent in the Caribbean and 10 percent were in Central America."
Croom said African influence was widespread and diverse.
"Many people listen to salsa music and don't know that it is predominately African influenced," Croom said. "You need to understand history to know where you are today."

Kmart to close by March

Kansan staff writer
Attention Kmart shoppers, the store is now closing.
A representative for Kmart confirmed yesterday that the company had received bankruptcy court approval for the $2 billion in exit financing on Jan. 29.
As a result, the Kmart store at 3106 Iowa St. is one of 317 across the country that is scheduled to close at the end of March.
"While closing under-performing stores is critical to enhancing the company's financial and operating performance, we regret the negative impact this action will have of affected associates, families, customers, and communities," said Julian Day, president and CEO of Kmart in a written statement.
Currently, discounts between 10 to 30 percent can be found on
some items, with the percentages increasing as the store gets closer to closing its doors.
Cameron Haddad, Overland Park junior, said he wasn't going to head out for the discounted prices.
According to its annual report to investors, Kmart's net loss was $390 million, or $0.78 per share in the third quarter of 2002.
"It seems the only thing I've ever bought there was towels or bath mats," Haddad said.
In 2001, Kmart's net loss was $152 million, or $0.31 in the third quarter. In 2002, Kmart closed 283 under-performing stores in the 2nd quarter of the year.
John Rose, manager of the 3106 Iowa St. store, said employees weren't allowed to comment on the closing.

Kmart stores in Independence and Wichita are also closing.

Meeting relocated for Student Senate

Wednesdays are always chaos, Loren Malone says. And changing the Student Senate's meeting place could add to the mayhem.
STUDENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
SENATE
Malone, student body vice president and Senate president, is
changing the location to help senators visit other parts of the campus they represent.
For tonight's Senate meeting, senators are going abroad to JRP Hall. Although senators went across campus for meetings last semester, all Senate meetings remained at home in the Kansas Union the year before.
Malone has and will continue to move the meeting's location despite some of the complaints.
Moving seems like an every-other-year trend, said Diana Rhodes. Student Senate staff secretary. Rhodes hears the everyday groans and complaints from the student senators and has for the last five years. She said some senators thought the move was an inconvenience and others thought it was wonderful.

"I think it's always a challenge, but I'd rather us be more prepared so that no matter where the meeting is, it won't be much of a problem," she said.
Tonight's senators might not have the comfort of their usual copy machine at room 410 in the Kansas Union, but Malone said tonight's meeting move would serve other purposes.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, said he liked the change of scenery especially when Student Senate met at the Kansas University Endowment Association building last semester because he had never been there before.
"It does get people who represent one population into other areas," Johnson said.

Cohabitation brings ups, downs
Opposite sexes bring different viewpoints to living situations
Kansas City, Kan., sophomores, Creig Brown, Audrey Huston and Jessica Howard stand in the bathroom of their apartment. The three roommates live in a coed environment and said having the gender mix made living together easier.
By Jessica Palimenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
you can't live with them, you can'tlive without them,but nowa lease iskeeping you together.
Students who choose to live with roommates of the opposite sex face many of the same obstacles as traditional roommates, and as in most situations, ups and downs occur.
In the three-bedroom apartment of sophomores Audrey Huston, Jessica Howard and Craig Brown, experiences are mostlv positive.
The three have been friends since they attended high school together in Kansas City, Kan., and continue to get along even while they share an apartment.
"My roommates are the greatest, I wouldn't trade them for well almost anything." Brown said.
Adding a guy to the mix brings a lot more drama to the situation, but each of the roommates has formed their own role within the household, Huston said.
"They always want me to do my homework and go to class."
They said Brown brought humor and entertainment, while Huston and Howard added structure.
"They always want me to do my homework and go to class. They turn into the Incredible Hulk if I don't."
Craig Brown Kansas City, Kan., sophomore
Brown said. "They turn into the Incredible Hulk if I don't."
Huston claims she and Howard just try to motivate him.
Huston has chosen to undertake most of the domestic duties such as cooking and cleaning.
really don't eat together unless it's a special occasion or Audrey gets a new cookbook."
Some people might expect the man to be the messy one, Brown said. But it is Howard who fails to keep her room clean.
"Most of the time we cook for ourselves," Brown said. "We
One of the benefits of having a roommate of the opposite sex is the differing points of view, Huston said.
"She keeps her stuff picked up throughout the house," Huston said. "It's just her room that's a mess."
"You get a different perspective and advice from a guy," Huston said.
Although cohabitation is not allowed in the residence halls, that's where Jed Prickett,
"You get a different perspective and advice from a guy."
Audrey Huston Kansas City, Kan., sophomore
The problems they face as roommates aren't because of their sexes, Prickett said.
Anthony senior, found his future female roommate, Carianne Cuevas, Topeka junior.
"The only things we really argue about is cleaning and things like that," Prickett said.
He could have lived with male roommates, but Prickett thought living with woman was a better choice for him.
"The guys I was going to live with were my best friends, and we just would have butted heads the whole time," Prickett said.
Sometimes a good living situation can happen by coincidence.
Madelyn Wilson, St. Louis senior, returned from studying abroad in Australia in December and needed a place to live.She moved into an apartment with two male students whom she had not previously known, but it turned out for the best.
She said the guys mainly kept to themselves so they didn't have any problems.
"I lived with girls before and it just got kind of tedious," Wilson said.

Danny Loental, Rolla, Mo., senior, walks on a rope between Budig and Marvin halls. Loental said walking on the webbing rope was called slack lining. He began slack lining in August when he was in Yosemite National Park rock climbing. Loental said he had been rock climbing for three years, and slack lining was something a climber did on a day off for balance and concentration practice.
Kansas bowler aims for the pros

A KU bowling team member dreams of becoming a professional bowler. Elmer Jesse James III—or Jesse—is well on his way to achieving his goals.
James, Lawrence senior, is a member of the KU bowling team,and spends at least two hours a day at the Jaybowl in the Kansas Union.
James has been bowling since his dad brought him to watch his Friday night league games when James was in grade school.
"My interest in bowling quickly progressed to a life obsession," James said. "My classes interfere with my bowling—it should be the other way around."
Now a senior on the bowling team, James enjoys teaching the freshmen the ropes. He said the team's rituals were slightly edgy.
"Besides making fun of them whenever we want, we make them eat the hottest wings that we can find at the bowling alley," James said.
James and the KU bowling team have traveled all over the country for tournaments in cities such as Chicago and Buffalo, N.Y.
james played in a tournament in Las Vegas that had a $50,000 prize. Although he didn't win, James has several good luck charms that he brings with him to tournaments.
"I keep this piece of paper in my bowling bag," James said. "It's a printout of someone that was bashing me on an Internet Web site. I always read it when I put my shoes on."
Because the bowling team receives no funding from the University, team members fundraise throughout the year. They hold an annual Bowling For Excellence tournament, where supporters can pledge money per pin to help support the team.
"The one thing that would really help the team out would be more advertising." James said.
James will return to Las Vegas this summer for a tournament. Depending on how he places, James may decide to turn professional after he graduates in December.
Mike Fine, manager of the Jaybowl and bowling team coach has confidence in James.
"Jesse has a good grasp of bowling at this level," Fine said.

KU bowler Jesse James lets one loose at a recent team practice. James, who has had 10 perfect 300 games in his 14 years of bowling, said his dream was to be a professional bowler. "In this sport, nothing is certain," he said. "Patience is the key."

States with budget woes may have to increase tuition at public colleges
The Associated Press
Cash-strapped states from coast to coast are weighing hefty tuition increases for public colleges and universities, prompting experts to wonder aloud whether state schools are pricing themselves out of the market for most students.
"This trend is going to catch up with the middle class at some point," said Barmak Nassirian, an analyst with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
With most states unable to cover their expenses, tuition increases have been imposed midway through this academic year by several states including Maryland, Oregon and California.
The budget woes have been especially painful for University of Oregon junior Rachel Pillio, who may forego her senior year if an additional tuition hike is imposed next fall. Students at Oregon this
year have already faced tuition increases of $10 per credit hour. That's more than $100 per term for a full-time student.
"I'm ahead on my credits so I can graduate with the bare minimum for a degree. That's graduating without honors and that's graduating without the classes that will
fully develop me," said Pilliod, a self-described middle-class student who has assumed most of the cost of her own education.

The tuition increases come in an academic year when tuition at four-year public institutions jumped by an average of 9.6 percent, according to the annual sur-

Baseball opens at home field today
Baseball coach Ritch Price's home debut will come nine days earlier than expected.
By Daniel Berk
dberk@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
Instead of opening their home season Feb. 21, the Jayhawks will start agains the Western Illinois Leathernecks a noon today.
"We need to play. That is the bottom line." Price said. "Western Illinois needs to play as well, so it was just a good opportunity for both schools involved."
Heading into a big weekend against nationally ranked Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Price said it was key to keep everybody on the team fresh and healthy.
Senior Kevin Wheeler was scheduled to start Sunday against UALR and would still see some innings today against the Leathernecks. However, senior Pat Holmes will get to start.
The schedule change comes after the Jayhawks' final game of a three-game series against the University of Arkansas-Little Rock was canceled and Western Illinois' series against Middle Tennessee State was also canceled.
"LSU is a top 10 team in the nation, and it is key for all the guys on our team to be healthy and ready to play." Price said. "That is why we will be using a lot of pitchers today and tweaking the
lineup."
The changes in the lineup are freshman Matt Baty starting at catcher instead of senior Sean Flynn. Senior Casey Spanish and junior Ryan Baty will also switch positions — Spanish will start in left field while the hot-hitting Ryan Baty will start at first base.
Flynn will most likely see action late in the game for defensive purposes and will start this weekend against LSU.
As for managing his first home game of the season, Price said he was extremely excited to establish Kansas as a team tough to beat at their home ballpark.
"The outfield is playing as well as any one can play right now." Price said.
"I am looking forward to playing at Hoglund Ballpark," Price said. "It is our first chance to play a game at home and we want to be a team that is tough at their home field. It is also supposed to be a little bit warmer, so we are excited about that."
Price and the rest of the Kansas baseball team are excited about the stellar play of the team's outfield. The outfield, which consists of Wheeler, Baty, Spanish and junior Matt Tribble, has been playing well so far this season.
White in Lawrence, the Leathernecks will play a double header, taking on the Washburn Ichabods after their game against the Jayhawks. The second game is expected to be at 3 p.m.

Padgett's knee strain shouldn't hurt future
By Shane Mettlen

Kansan sportswriter
A Kansas men's basketball signee will not have surgery after injuring his knee while playing for Reno High School in Reno, Nev. Saturday night.
The injury should not affect Padgett's future as a collegiate, according to his father and high school coach Pete Padgett.
David Padgett, a 6-foot-11 post player will miss the remainder of Reno High's season, but may be able to play in all-star games this spring. He has already been selected to play for the East squad in the EA Sports Roundball Classic all-star game in Chicago March 31. Padgett will likely also be named to the McDonald's All American team. That game will be played on March 26 in Cleveland.
"He's pretty tough mentally" Pete Padgett said of his son. "He's looking
Pete Padgett said Kansas coach Roy Williams had been "very encouraging."
toward the rehab and is ready to come be a Jayhawk."
Padgett's injury has been diagnosed as a severe strain of his right kneeecap. During his junior year he suffered an injury to his left knee that also ended his season. Both injuries occurred while playing in Carson City, Nov.
Kristen Feller/Baylor Lariat
"Myself, my dad and my teammates worked so hard to make a run for it," Padgett said in an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal. "To have it end like this is horrible."
Padgett was averaging 27 points and 14 rebounds per game when he was injured.
Padgett said he was sorry to see his high school career come to an abrupt end before this year's Nevada State Championship.

Kansas scores big in small-crowd game
Kirk Hinrich, senior guard, leaps to toss up a first-half three-pointer against Baylor in Waco, Texas. Big 12 Conference officials elected Hinrich Big 12 Player of the Week Monday. The Jayhawks shot 61.5 percent from the field in their victory over the Bears yesterday.

Kansan sportswriter
WACO, Texas — Last night's game between Kansas and Baylor was a thriller. It was neck and neck. It was too close to call ... Wait, it was a 19-point Jayhawk blowout.
The Bears threatened early or maybe the Jayhawks threatened themselves with five turnovers in the first five and half minutes but after that the game quickly began to move toward its 79-58 final score. At the eight minute mark Baylor trailed by just one, 20-19. Most of the 8,758 fans present at tip-off were still inside the Ferrell Center and the Bears were still in the game.
A 21-9 Kansas run to close the first half, followed by a 5-0 drive to start the second changed the status of both.
"For a conference game," Kansas senior forward Nick Collison told reporters. "It was probably the smallest crowd we've played in front of. It makes it easier to win on the road when the crowd is not really into it."
True, even at its largest, the crowd couldn't come close to filling the 10,284-seat arena, but it was Kansas coach Roy Williams and the Jayhawks who weren't into it at the start, Williams said.
"First 10 or 11 minutes we had seven turnovers," he said. "And I stood up and screamed and made one of those coaching-genius statements 'Just get a shot.'"
Genius or not, Williams' words were heard.
Not only did the Jayhawks take shots they made them. They made 17-of-29 shots, 58.6 percent, in the first half and were even better after the break. In the second half they hit 15-of-23 shots, 65.2

percent and finished the game having made 61.5 percent of their attempts from the field.
Kansas sophomore guard Aaron Miles goes in for a layup after beating Baylor sophomore guard John Lucas to the hoop. Miles had 9 points and five assists in the Jayhawks' 79-58 victory over Baylor.
Absent from Kansas' shot selection was the three-point shot. The Jayhawks didn't make a basket from behind the arc in the first half for the first time in the Williams era.
The Bears, on the other hand, fired from long range nearly every opportunity they got. Baylor attempted the sixth-most three-pointers ever, 35, against a Williams-coached squad. Sophomore guard John Lucas took 11 shots from behind the arc by himself. Lucas made three and scored 15 points. He shared Baylor's scoring honors with junior forward R.T. Guinn who cashed 5 of 7 three-pointers for his 15.
Leading the Jayhawks was sophomore guard Keith Langford. The native of Fort Worth, Texas, dropped 19 points on his home-state team. Langford watched the last game Kansas played in Waco, an 85-77 Baylor victory, from the stands as high school senior and Jayhawk signee.
"I was kind of mad," Langford said of the 2001 game. "Some of the fans were talking noise, telling me I should have

come to Baylor, but I knew I made the right decision."
Notes:
Senior guard Kirk Hinrich passed Bud Stallworth for 15th place on Kansas' all-time scoring list. Hinrich scored 14 points despite suffering from flu symptoms the past three days. He has 1,505 points in his career.
Collison became the fourth-most prolific scorer in Kansas history, usurping Darnell Valentine. His 15 points last night gave him 1,824 in his college career.

Kansas rated "easy" on athletes
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A newspaper report disagrees with football coach Mark Mangino's recent statement that the University of Kansas makes transferring for junior college students difficult.
"I would like for all Big 12 schools to be even," Mangino said. "But right now I'm trying to build a program. It's clear they're proud of their academic reputation here, and we take a lot of pride in our academic support."
Mangino said at his monthly press conference Feb. 5 that the University was tougher academically on transfers than other Big 12 Conference schools.
The Sentinel graded 117 Division I-A schools on a three-tier system for toughness of admission. The schools received a grade of either difficult, "so-so" or easy. Missouri and Texas were the only two
The Orlando Sentinel reported two weeks ago that Kansas was less than stifling in its academic requirements of high school athletes, specifically football players.
"I was shocked and befuddled. I wouldn't think that we would have easy admissions qualifications."
Big 12 schools to receive a difficult grade. Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A & M and Texas Tech were "so-so". Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State were listed as easy.
Paul Buskirk Kansas associate athletics director
Paul Buskirk, Kansas associate athletics director for student support services, said that Kansas athletes must meet the same standards as students, but must also make NCAA standards.
By University standards, an athlete must achieve for admission: a score of 21 on the ACT, a 2.0 grade point average in the Kansas qualified admission preparatory program, an SAT score of 980 or the athlete must rank in the upper one-third of his graduating class. The athlete must then meet NCAA standards. Buskirk said that it was possible for an athlete to
make Kansas standards by ranking in the upper third of their graduating class but miss NCAA standards by having too low of a GPA. That result is possible, but not likely. Buskirk said.
At Missouri, a school rated as difficult in the *Sentinel*, an athlete must receive a 24 on the ACT, a 1100 verbal and math score on the SAT while completing the recommended curriculum. If those standards are not met, there is a scale matching the ACT or SAT score with a required class rank for the score. The lowest possible ACT score is a 17, and the lowest possible SAT is 800. The further down on the scale the test score is, the higher the class rank must be to compensate.
Buskirk said that Kansas was tougher on transfer hours than other schools might have been.
"In order for a transfer class to count, Kansas must have a class roughly equivalent of the class being transferred," Buskirk said. "If the classes are say, more vocational, they will not automatically be accepted."
If an athlete is initially a non-qualifier,

KANSAS BASEBALL Jayhawk first baseman named player of the week
Kansas first baseman Ryan Baty was voted Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Baseball Player of the Week by a select panel of media covering Big 12 baseball games played from Jan. 24 to Monday.
The Wichita junior began the season by being named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association National Hitter of the Week after hitting, 619 on 13-for-21 in a six-game series at Hawaii-Hito. He also set a school record by reaching base 11 consecutive times on seven hits and four walks against the Vulcans.
Last weekend, Baty went 2-for-7 in a doubleheader at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.
Baty has led the Jayhawks to a 5-3 overall record, opened the year going 15-for-28 with .536 average including two home runs, nine RBI, eight runs, and 25 consecutive fielding chances without an error. In addition, he has hit safely in the Jayhawks' first eight contests.
"This is a great way for Ryan to open the season," coach Ritch Price said referring to the opening games against Hawai'i-Hilo, "In my 25 years of coaching, that's as good a weekend as I've seen a player play."
Similarities with a phenom
-Kansan staff reports
As a lowly sportswriter, I hate to compare myself to one of the most talented athletes to ever pick up a basketball, but I'll try.
Last week, I realized I have similarities to high school phenom LeBron James, who recently led his team to a 78-52 victory and single-handedly scored the same amount of points as the entire opposing team.
No, I don't have shoe companies vying for my attention and unfortunately my car does not resemble a $50,000 military vehicle. But at one brief, shining moment in my sports past, I scored more than half of my own team's points, too. It happened in the ultra-competitive world of junior high girls' basketball.
I cannot (and I've tried to) forget the day my eighth grade team traveled to tiny Moundridge, about 30 miles east of Hutchinson. When my stomach began aching before the game, I should've known it wasn't going to be a good night. The pregame plan was to guard the perimeter, because apparently, Moundridge had an amazing outside shooter, someone who was rumored to

eat and sleep with a basketball in her hands. Colleges already were looking at her.
"Whatever." I thought as the referee tossed the opening tip. "Who is this Laurie Koehn girl anyway?"
Quickly. I found out.
After what felt like 900 hours later, my team returned to the locker room for halftime down 50-0. Seriously.
Not one person wanted to leave the locker room for the second half. Everyone - even my coach - was bawling uncontrollably. We considered sneaking out to the bus. How could we possibly salvage one bit of athletic dignity playing with red faces and running noses?
But we refused to quit. Like champs, my team put some points on the board
and embarrassingly finished the game. At home, I mumbled to my brother that I scored three points — half of my team's total.
"Your team only scored six points?" he said, laughing hysterically.
Home-91. Away-6. Quite possibly the biggest slaughtering in all of sports history.
Fast-forward eight years, and I still see the scoreboard in my head the same way I saw it that day.
My teammate's older brother made sure to film the entire game so he could sell copies to his high school.
I never found out officially, but Koehn scored close to 70 points that day. She went on to become the second all-time scorer in Kansas history behind Jackie Stiles, and now she plays for nationally-ranked Kansas State.
Maybe one day I will watch the video of "The Game" and relish my LeBronesque domination of my own team's scoring.
Until then, I'll just wait for Nike to call.

Referee examined for photo with James
TRENTON, N.J. — A referee is under investigation after he posed for a photograph on the court with high school star LeBron James following a tournament game last weekend.
The Associated Press
The president of the central New Jersey chapter of the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials confirmed yesterday the organization was investigating the actions of referee Tony Celantano.
James, expected to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, posed with his right arm draped around Celantano's shoulder. A slight grin is on James' face.
"We're just trying to sort out all the facts," said Fred Dumont, the organization's president.
Though no written rule was violated, it is accepted practice that officials do not
pose for pictures with players, Dumont said. He said he had spoken with Celantano, who concluded he should have shown better judgment.
Dumont expects a ruling in two days to a week. He declined to specify what sanctions could be imposed. Celantano, a 27-year veteran, remains eligible to officiate. Dumont said.
"He's still free to be a referee and happens to be an outstanding referee," Dumont said. "He's a very professional person; he's an experienced official."
After officiating another high school game Sunday, Celantano told the newspaper he sought an autograph from lames for a friend's child.
Celantano told The Times of Trenton the photo was taken by a relative and was not for personal use.
Celantano did not immediately return a message left at his Hamilton
home yesterday by The Associated Press.
James scored a career-high 52 points leading St. Vincent-St. Mary of Akron, Ohio, in a 78-52 victory over Westchester of Los Angeles in the Prime Time Shootout, the 6-foot-8 senior's his first action since an Ohio judge restored his high school eligibility nearly a week ago.
"I was at the game." Dumont said. "I don't have a problem with how the game was officiated."
The Ohio High School Athletic Association had revoked James' eligibility for accepting two sports jerseys valued at $845 from a Cleveland clothing store. Four days earlier, the association ruled that James didn't violated any rules by accepting a $50,000 Hummer sport utility vehicle from his mother as an 18th birthday present.

The five-car crash came on the front straightaway of the 2 1/2-mile oval with about four minutes left in the 60-minute practice, the only Winston Cup track time on the day's schedule.
Rookie Jack Sprague, a three-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, was riding in the middle of a three-wide pack, with Steve Park above him on the banked Daytona International Speedway track and Skinner on the low side.
Sprague's Pontiac appeared to slide up the track, banging off Park, then sliding down into Skinner, who went sideways. Burton and Sadler then drove into the melee.
There were no injuries, but Skinner's Pontiac and the Fords of Burton and Sadler got the worst of the accident and were put out of action for the rest of this week.
Those three will have to get their preparations for tomorrow's twin 125-mile qualifying races done in the single 45-minute Winston Cup practice today.
It was the second year in a row that Burton and Sadler have been in wrecks that put
them in backup cars for the season-opening race.
The other drivers heaped most of the blame on Sprague, who is trying to qualify for his first Daytona 500.
"To the best of my knowledge, we got ran into by a rookie," Skinner said.
Sprague said he was in the middle, while Park was on the outside "and he didn't stay up and he hit me in the right front, drove me into Skinner and it was all over."
Park disagreed with that version, saying Sprague "bounced off me."
"I was up by the wall and couldn't go any higher, except for the grandstands," Park said.
It's hard to avoid this type of crash at Daytona. Thanks to the restrictor plates used here to slow the cars, the racing is often in packs.
"You've got to run two- and three-wide in practice because that's what you're going to do in the race," Burton said. "Accidents happen."
Sadler was less forgiving.
"It's a shame to wreck a bunch of good cars on the straightaway. I mean, we're supposed to be professionals and using our heads, and they're out there running into the side of each other on the straightaway," Sadler said.
Skinner had much the same view.
"This was our first race practice of the year, so I would say it was preventable," he said.
Woods returns after knee surgery
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — Dressed in a black rain suit, Tiger Woods ducked out from under his umbrella on the 13th tee at Torrey Pines and gazed at what was rumored to be the Pacific Ocean. All he saw yesterday morning was a soupy fog.
"Can you believe this?" he said. "Perfect weather at every West Coast tournament, then I show up and we get this."
"I feel great," he said, "My knee feels great, and mentally I feel fresh."
Out of competition for two months because of knee surgery, and the only red carpet rolled out for Woods' return was a mat to wipe his feet at the end of a soggy practice round on the North Course.
Not that Woods was complaining.
A steady rain, not to mention his 6:40 a.m. start, kept the
crowds to a minimum. No more than 60 people were following Woods when he finished 18 holes.
Players walking to the range along a path next to the fairway stopped to watch him hit a 3wood to about 12 feet on the par5 18th hole. In the locker room, Paul Stankowski gave him a gentle tap on his derriere to welcome him back.
How long the love lasts is any-one's guess.
Woods brings a fascination to the masses, which is why television ratings are spiked whenever he plays — up 113 percent when he is in contention.
The PGA Tour is off to a great start. Ernie Els won the first two events to establish anew his rivalry with Woods. Vijay Singh won in Phoenix, Mike Weir in the Bob Hope Classic and Davis Love III at Pebble Beach with two great shots under pressure.
Still, most of the talk on tour
has been dominated by when Woods will return.
No one holds that against him especially not his peers.
Thanks to Woods, golf is more popular than ever. The PGA Tour has been able to negotiate mammoth TV contracts, which is why prize money has more than doubled since he showed up six years ago.
"He's my favorite player besides me," said Chris Riley, who grew up playing junior golf with Woods. "He gives the tour a lot of notoriety."
He also makes it a little tougher to win.
The gap between Woods and everyone else is as large as he wants. It was a gulf after 2000 when Woods won nine times and three majors. It only appeared to shrink when his victory count dipped, even though it was still higher than anyone else.
"When those guys play good, the gap is not very big," Thomas
Bjorn once said. "But it's still there, because Tiger is capable of more things."
The curiosity is what happens now that Woods has returned from Dec. 12 surgery on his left knee to remove fluid and benign cysts in around the ligaments.
"I do have some catching up to do," Woods said as he left the course yesterday.
The rest of his round looked as if Woods never left.
He hit every fairway, missed only two greens. Rain left so much water on some of the greens that Woods didn't bother to putti
The fog grew thicker on the back nine, and there were a couple of holes where visibility was reduced to about 100 yards off the tee.
"Another shot out of sight," caddie Steve Williams said when Woods ripped another drive that vanished into the white mass.
San Francisco 49ers decide on new coach
Out of sight, but never more back in the picture.
The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Dennis Erickson was hired yesterday by the San Francisco 49ers to replace Steve Mariucci as coach, a surprising end to a search that stretched nearly four weeks
Erickson will be introduced at a news conference today.
Mariucci, who was fired by owner John York on Jan. 15 despite leading San Francisco to four playoff berths in six seasons, signed a five-year contract with the Detroit Lions last week.
Erickson is an unexpected choice for San Francisco, which
had concentrated its search on NFL defensive coaches during the 3 1/2 weeks since York surprised his front office by firing Mariucci.
But general manager Terry Donahue always said he planned to consider college coaches in his search, which he conducted largely from his home in Newport Beach, Calif. Earlier, several college coaches said they weren't interested, including Washington coach Rick Neuheisel and Southern California coach Pete Carroll.
New York Jets defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell, Chicago defensive coordinator Greg
Blache and San Francisco defensive coordinator Jim Mora interviewed for the job last week. The 49ers also seriously considered Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who re-signed with the Buccaneers after the Super Bowl.
Erickson coached the Seattle Seahawks from 1995 to 1998, going 31-33. His greatest success has been in college, where he has turned four schools into winners. He went 31-17 in four seasons at Oregon State, resurrecting a former moribund program.
Erickson won national titles at the University of Miami in 1989
and 1991, going 63-9 over six seasons. He also has coached at Idaho and Washington State.
Mariucci was fired despite four 10-win seasons with a remarkably brief rebuilding period in between.
York had a difference in philosophy with Mariucci, who led the 49ers to a 10-6 record, the NFC West title and a playoff victory over the New York Giants this past season.
Erickson is just the 49ers' fourth coach since 1979, following Bill Walsh, George Seifert and Mariucci. Walsh and Seifert both won Super Bowls.

Wildcats snap losing streak
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — Gilson Dejesus didn't stop shooting 3-pointers — even after his missed his first five shots.
His stubbornness paid off.
DeJesus' 3-pointer with 3:11 left sparked a game-ending 11-10 run as Kansas State beat Colorado 62-54 last night to snap a four-game losing streak.
The shot came a little more than a minute after DeJesus hit a 3-pointer to tie the game 49-49. He finished the night 3-of-10 from beyond the arc.
"We needed something to get us going." Dejesus said. "It

reminded me of the Kansas game. I was like, 'It's not going to happen to us again.' So we worked the ball and it found me free to shoot."
C
Tim Ellis, Frank Richards and Jarrett Hart led Kansas State with 11 points. Matt Siebrandt and Pervis Pasco each had 10. Richards also had eight assists.
"We never talk about abandoning the 3-point shot," Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge said. "We played with a lot of grit and
toughness against a very good basketball team."
The Wildcats (12-10, 3-6 Big 12) made 6-of-7 free throws in the final 1:21 to win their first conference game since Jan. 22.
"It was a great time to make free throws," Wooldridge said. "To me that's mental toughness. This was a huge game for this team."
Stephane Pelle, who had 12 of Colorado's 18 first half points, finished with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Michel Morandais had 12 points and David Harrison added 10.
Colorado (14-8, 4-5 Big 12) has lost all five of its Big 12 road games.
"I thought Pelle kept us in the game early, but we didn't get much from anybody else," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said.
Kansas State took a 23-18 halftime lead after a sloppy first half for both teams. The Wildcats forced 16 turnovers, 12 in the first half.
"Our perimeter guys played great defense on their shooters," Siebrandt said. "It was a good team effort on the defensive side of the ball."
Kansas State went on an 8-0 run to start the second half and took its biggest lead at 37-24 with 14:10 remaining. Colorado took a brief lead at 45-41 with 7:28 left after going on a 16-2 run.

Magic's Shawn Kemp suspended again for violation of league's anti-drug policy
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Magic center Shawn Kemp was suspended without pay by the NBA on Tuesday, the third time he has violated the terms of the league's anti-drug policy.
Kemp's suspension began with Tuesday night's game against the New Jersey Nets, and will continue until he has resumed full compliance with his treatment program.
Orlando coach Doc Rivers received word of the suspension from general manager John Gabriel when he was getting into his car to drive to the arena for the game.
"We don't know whether the program was violated or he just missed a test. You just hope things work out for him," Rivers said.
"We don't know whether the program was violated or he just missed a test. You just hope things work out for him.The basketball side of it with him I could honestly care less. He's not a bad guy at all."
Doc Rivers Orlando coach
"The basketball side of it with him I could honestly care less. He's not a bad guy at all."
participated in the Magic's Tuesday morning shootaround at the TD Waterhouse Centre. Gabriel spoke with him by telephone in the afternoon, but did not shed any light on why the 13-year pro was suspended.
Kemp practiced Monday and
"I have no reaction because it's not clear what we would be reacting to." Gabriel said.
Asked how Kemp responded, Gabriel said: "He's just disappointed at the news. I can't elaborate."
A year ago, when he was with the Portland Trail Blazers, the 6-foot-10 Kemp was suspended for five games for violating the policy. He sat out from Feb. 22 through March 4 and lost $141,889 of his $12.77 million salary for each game he missed.
The 33-year-old Kemp, a six-time All-Star, also missed the final eight games of the 2000-2001 season, taking a leave of absence from Portland and entering a substance abuse program. Because he volunteered to enter a program, he was not suspended by the league at that time.
Certain substances, such as cocaine and LSD, call for dismissal from the league, although players may apply for reinstatement after two years.
The league, its teams and the players' association are prohibited from publicly disclosing information regarding the testing or treatment of any player in the program other than to announce a player's suspension or dismissal from the league.

Red Bull drink could influence athlete drug test
The Associated Press
PROVO, Utah — NCAA athletes who drink the Red Bull Energy Drink in excess amounts could possibly test positive in a drug test.
The NCAA bans the supplemental use of caffeine for all sports.
According to the NCAA Web site, NCAA athletes are prohibited from using banned-drug classes such as stimulants, anabolic agents and street drugs.
The stimulant guarana, added to the list for the 2002- 2003 academic school year, is an herb that is used to make the stimulant caffeine.
Red Bull is not a sports drink like Gatorade or PowerAde, but is an energy drink.
Red Bull is a stimulant energy drink with high amounts of caffeine to boost energy, concentration, physical endurance, reaction speed, vigilance, emotional status and stimulate metabolism.
In comparison, one can of Coke contains about 35 milligrams of caffeine per 12-ounce can.
Red Bull contains 80 milligrams of caffeine in one eight-ounce can.
Diet Coke has a caffeine content (47 milligrams) greater than Coke by 12 milligrams of caffeine per 12-ounce can.
If athletes were tested with a concentration in their urine that exceeded 15 micrograms/ml, a positive drug test would be produced.
"One Red Bull would not cause a positive drug test," said Rachel Olander, resource specialist with the Resource Exchange Center. "This is only excess amounts."
Olander works in the Resource Exchange Center for the National Center for Drug Free Sport, the outside company the NCAA hired to conduct all random drug testing.
According to Olander, there is a gray area with caffeine intake. The amounts of caffeine you drink, the time you intake it into your body and your body composition can all be variables to consider.
Drug Free Sport, based out of Kansas City, Mo., has a resource center that provides free, confidential and accurate information for athletes to call if they have any questions regarding supplements they are taking.
The National Center for Drug Free Sport Resource Exchange Center works closely with the NCAA and is a great source to assist athletes with questions in order for them to gain knowledge and avoid harsh NCAA penalties.
According to the Red Bull Web site, "It is recommended to drink one can of Red Bull Energy Drink about 30 minutes before the start of a concentration task or the start of a race or game in sports. This is about the time for the ingredients of Red Bull Energy Drink to become effective in the body."
However, if you drink Red Bull in excess amounts, an athlete could be jeopardizing his eligibility.
There are two types of drug testing procedures that athletes go through.
First, the NCAA conducts one random drug test and second, the University Drug Testing Committee administers multiple drug tests throughout the season.
"Large amounts of caffeine add additional energy and can enhance performance levels," said Dr. Bruce Woolley, a member of the Brigham Young University Drug Testing Committee.
According to Woolley, when a positive drug test occurs for a member of the football squad, it means a one-year suspension plus missing a postseason bowl game.
For basketball, it might include a one-year loss of eligibility.
The key is to be smart when consuming these drinks and supplements in the body.
Products such as caffeine can be abused, but can also serve a functional purpose.
It is a great healing agent used in green tea and in many medicines including the headache medicine Excedrin.
The NCAA and National Center for Drug Free Sport both help athletes perform to the best of their ability without having to consume harmful substances into the body to enhance performance.
By abiding by these rules the NCAA has set, every athlete enters a level playing field to compete.
Jumper shoots for early recovery
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Jake Muhlisen speaks of it with a mixture of anticipation and fear, the way you'd expect a guy his age to talk about his wedding, first child or job.
Except Muhleisen is talking about jumping.
To understand this, you needed to see his last jump, Jan. 11 in Lawrence.
Last time he got bumped in mid-flight, spinning like a rag doll before achieving the sort of verticality X Gamers only dream of.
Since then, the 20-year-old has endured enough pain to make sleeping difficult. The University of Nebraska captain is now reduced to sitting and watching a once-promising basketball season disappear.
The sophomore landed on his great trochanter, the bony bump extending from his thighs. The pressure of that impact fractured his hip socket and a smaller fracture in his pelvis area.
Of course, Muhleisen didn't know that then. He thought the fall had knocked the wind out of him. He thought he could get up. Then he took a step, "and pain shot through my leg and I knew something was wrong."
The drugs dulled everything for the first few days, then the simplest activities shot pain through his left side.
"If I sneezed, it killed," Muhleisen says. "If I rolled over in bed, it really killed."
Less than a month after the injury doctors deemed Muhleisen healthy enough to begin the rehabilitation process.
He's now gently pedaling a stationary bike and swimming with the aid of a kickboard.
By early March, the crutches will be gone. And, if all goes well, he'll be able to shoot a basketball around NCAA tournament time.
Muhleisen is attacking rehabilitation, and is happy to get the opportunity for activity.
He's also helped from the bench. Coach Barry Collier applauded him for encouraging players and even offering the coaching staff advice.
Muhleisen acknowledges his good fortune — any displacement of the fractured bones would've guaranteed surgery and thrown his career into jeopardy.
Muhleisen said he hoped to be 100 percent by next season.
It's hard to assess how much the loss of Mubleisen has hurt
these 9-12 Huskers.
Nebraska wasn't exactly riding high before the injury. Five nonconference losses, including an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Division II Alaska-Fairbanks, came with the starting point guard in the lineup.
At least part of the offensive futility can be attributed to the loss of Muhleisen's steadying presence, according to forward John Turek.
"He brings so much more than his numbers show," Turek said. "We do miss his court awareness, leadership, his intensity."
A paying customer can still see that intensity on display this week.
Muhleisen lives and dies from the bench, the emotion of the moment worn on the sleeve of his dress coat or shirt-and-tie combo.
KSU player wants postseason play
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN — In this year's Kansas State men's basketball media guide, freshman Marques Hayden said the one thing no one knew about him was how much he liked to win.
He averaged 17 points per game as a senior last season at Oklahoma's Putnam City High School.
He led his team to a state championship and was named to the McDonald's All-State team. He was a 2001 and 2002 All-State selection, and he was named the Big City and Metro Athletic Conference 2002 Player of the Year.
He was voted one of the nation's best 100 recruits by three recruiting services.
Now Hayden is the Wildcats
Marques Hayden knows about winning.
Or at least that's what he thought when rolling into Manhattan seven months ago.
"I appreciate winning more ever since I stepped on campus at K-State."
Marques Hayden K-State freshman forward
sixth man. Usually the first player off the bench, he has seen significant action in all the Cats' games this season.
But for the freshman who loves to win, the Cats' four-game losing streak is a new experience.
"It's a little tough, but I see the overall picture," he said. "In high school, I won by 30 or 40 points a game. You didn't really feel the true meaning of winning a ball game."
Hayden has just begun his career as a Wildcat, but already the freshman has been transformed. He said winning at K-State was
different than it ever had been.
"When you come out here and you play 40 minutes of absolute hell and you get that 'W' -- wow," Hayden said. "I appreciate winning more ever since I stepped on campus at K-State."
Since he took that first step on campus, Hayden has learned a lot.
He started the season huge, with a 20 point effort against BYU, but Hayden cooled down quickly and only scored 14 points during his next three games. He scored 14 vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff but only five at Wisconsin Green Bay. He had 16 against Texas Tech but only two at Texas A&M.
He seemed to find some consistency in the last couple of games. Hayden dropped in eight in an overtime loss to Oklahoma, 10 against Oklahoma State and 13 vs. Kansas. It's all part of his improvement process. Hayden said.
He said gaining confidence in his own abilities had proven the
antidote to many of his early season lapses.
Statistically, Hayden has improved throughout the season. Now, the freshman who likes to win says he is focused on helping the Cats win enough games to qualify for the postseason.
"As far as my overall game, I think I have come a really long ways," he said. "One of the main things is confidence. That is what Coach (Jim) Wooldridge has instilled in me. He told me 'You can make a million mistakes, but as long as you don't lose your work ethic I won't have a problem with it.' He told me that it made me feel a little bit more comfortable.
"This team is good enough where we could turn this whole thing around. I came here to help turn this program around," Hayden said. "I think the fans here feel it. They feel that we are there."

Missouri center impresses coach Knight
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Just prior to the player introductions before Missouri's 82-73 victory against Texas Tech on Sunday, the crowd was asked to acknowledge Texas Tech coach Bob Knight for recording his 800th coaching victory last week. The fans responded with a loud ovation for the coaching legend.
"That was nice," Knight said. "I mean, I didn't think it called for cartwheels or anything, but it was nice."
Knight's sarcasm came after he watched junior Missouri center Arthur Johnson dominate the game in the paint with 23 points and 13 rebounds.
"The kids that really work hard
and improve themselves always impress me, and Johnson really impresses me in that regard," Knight said. "He's a much better player than he was a year ago, and that obviously helps them be a better team."
Johnson, who averages a double-double in conference play, said he appreciated Knight's compliment.
Knight also said Johnson stacked up well with any inside player in the Big 12 Conference.
"It feels good, because I know what I've been doing, and I'm glad that other people noticed, too," Johnson said. "And coming from him, it just feels better."
"I think Johnson's as good as anybody I've seen play," Knight said.
"He's maturing in a lot of ways," Snyder said. "When you were watching him play, you felt like that's a mature player."
Missouri coach Quin Snyder said he was pleased with Johnson's maturity.
Junior forward Travon Bryant also had one of his best games of the season, scoring 13 points with three rebounds. Bryant and Johnson outscored Texas Tech's inside duo of Pawel Storozynski and Robert Tomaszek, 36-9, and out rebounded them, 16-2.
Knight said Storozynski and Tomaszek were simply outmatched.
"Maybe they're getting out rebounded by stronger and better jumpers," he said. "That's always a possibility."
The Tigers said they tried not to let Knight's presence distract them during the game.
"He's a great coach, but I think as the game went on, you kind of forgot about him," junior wing Rickey Paulding said. "But you kind of look over there, and 'Hey, that's Bob Knight over there.'"
Snyder said he also tried to forget about Knight.
"He's one of the greatest coaches to ever be on the sidelines," Snyder said. "But for me to think about that more than just passing awareness, I think it's not good for our team."
Snyder will not face a similar situation in Missouri's next game against Texas A&M. Melvin Watkins, the Aggies' coach, has 92 career victories.

If you have trouble deciding, look at the bottom line. What's going to be more expensive in the long run?
Keep an nest egg
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
They say the truth will set you free.

Negotiations may be nerve wracking, but don't let them see you sweat. Stay cool, and you may get

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21), Today is an 8.
You're eager to take action, but don't go running off without a plan. Reacting to somebody's critical comment is not a valid enough reason.

Experienced coach joins football staff
By Jesse Newell
jnewell@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In attempting to build a championship-caliber program, Mark Mangino has tried to surround himself with coaches having championship experience.
The trend continued today as Mangino hired Northern Colorado assistant coach Earnest Collins to fill Kansas' vacant secondary position.
Collins was a student assistant at Northwest Missouri State for three years, helping lead the Bearcats to consecutive NCAA Division II titles in 1998 and 1999. Collins previously played at Northern Colorado, where he set school records for punt return yards in a season and a career.
Along with his playing and championship experience, Northern Colorado coach Kay Dalton said that Collins would bring much more to the Kansas coaching staff.
"He's very professional," Dalton said. "He's a good recruiter. He's got a very good work ethic. I think Kansas got a fine football coach."
As a special teams and secondary coach for Northern Colorado, Collins assisted in a 12-victory season, as the Bears reached the Division II semifinals.
Collins fills the spot left by Travis Jones, who left to take a position on Louisiana State's coaching staff last month. This leaves just one assistant position open. The Jayhawks have yet to replace Ken Conatser, who resigned two weeks into the 2002 season.
Mangino also named Chris Dawson strength and conditioning coach last week. Dawson spent two years as the strength and conditioning coach in Minnesota under former Kansas coach Glen Mason, and he played linebacker for the Oklahoma Sooners from 1991 to 1994.

Coach Pat Riley faces fines for complaints about NBA officials
MIAMI — Pat Riley, fined by the NBA for the second time this season yesterday, joked that his complaints about officials have taken a toll on his wife and daughter.
How much?
"About three trips to Saks Fifth Avenue, so enough's enough," Riley said. "I may have to bite my tongue."
The Miami Heat coach was fined $20,000 yesterday for criticizing the officials following a loss to Portland last week. He was hit with a $50,000 fine in December.
Riley admitted that his complaints reflect the frustration of coaching a team that's last in the Atlantic Division.
"I absolutely hate losing," he said. "I despise it. I do everything I can not to lose. So anybody who's got any brains at all knows that if you're somebody who hates to lose, and you're losing, that somewhere you get frustrated ...
"But I'm not complaining. I'm just fighting as much as I can to get what I can get."
In the wake of NBA commissioner David Stern's warning last week that he has had enough of
gripes about referees, Riley said he wasn't surprised by the latest fine.
"I understand what it is, and you accept it." Riley said. "It reminds of me of my favorite quote from Winston Churchill: 'I may not be the lion, but it is left to me to give the lion's roar.' And that is what David Stern did. Every time he does this, it reminds me of that quote, because he does. He's got the loudest voice, a very effective voice."
Following the Heat's 101-87 loss to Portland on Feb. 5, Riley complained of "an absolute officiating tragedy."
"I thought I was at the comedy store watching some kind of comedian out there laughing with the Blazers, and talking to them, and smiling with them," Riley said then. "It was so unprofessional."
Heat players said they appreciate Riley making a financial sacrifice on their behalf.
"He's out there fighting for us," forward Caron Butler said. "You like to see that even when you're down and not doing so well. Coach is still working hard and battling for us."

And how could any hoops-loving American missed out on LeBron James' journey. He was cleared to play after the all the hoopla about his Hummer, but was busted after getting bribed by that red, white and blue Wes Unseld Bullets jersey.
Still, nothing could have beaked 'Hawk fans more than last weekend's embarrassing attempt by the Wildcats to break Brumlage's winning barriers against the layhawks with their milky mismatched purple

Maybe if the Cats would have put out the cash for the lavished lavender shorts,the throwback attempt might have worked.
C'mon Wildcats, even back in the day the rap group Bone wore those faded bluish-clouded Cavs jerseys.
Now, I'm not saying Kansas should go the complete retro route; leaving out the knickers and knee pads of its inaugural teams is a must.
It's been 15 years since the Jayhawks wore something strange—and that clash of clothing aided in their chase of the championship.
On Dec. 3, 1987, the Larry

Fans apparently weren't too happy.
But it wasn't as if the faithful were watching the Jayhawks fall to Duke in the 1986 Final Four, when they wore their reds.
Brown vowed that because of the 71-67 defeat, they would cast away the crimsons for good.
But now Kansas should bring them back — maybe not yellows or even the rumored reds, but something old mixed with something new.
Perhaps the 1952 championship team's whites, kind of like the style Collison wore for his Sports Illustrated shoot for the college basketball preview issue earlier this season.
Of course the nutters would have to go. Those bottoms were shorter than most men' boxes are today.
And there's always the Champion blue-hued jerseys of 1988 for a little karma.

If an athlete does qualify initially, he or she must have 12 transferable hours for every semester taken. Therefore, if an athlete takes two semesters of community college he or she must have 24 hours transferable. The University was less likely to accept transfer hours than other institutions, said Buskirk.

Throughout the football recruitment process, academic counselors Buskirk and Michael Norwood reviewed recruits' transcripts to advise if the players could qualify.
Buskirk said that if the recruits did not have a chance to qualify.

"We had a couple of instances in which I was asked for my honest opinion, and I had to tell them that the player would not qualify," Buskirk said.
"If academically, the player is not likely to make it, the coaches don't want to waste their time."

Finley's goal propels Blues' victory over Sabres
BUFFALO, N.Y. — It's been so long — almost 27 months — that defenseman Jeff Finley can't remember scoring his last goal.
It will be hard to forget his latest one. Finley scored with 4-59 left to end a 173-game drought, lifting the St. Louis Blues to a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres last night.
"No, I don't remember the last one. It's been a while." Finley said before being reminded that his last goal came in a game against Phoenix on Nov. 25, 2000. "It's fun. That's the name of the game, try and score. Especially when you get the game-winner, it's exciting."
Keith Tkaehuk, extending his goal streak to six games, and Steve Martins also scored for the Blues, who rallied back after spotting the Sabres a 2-0 first-period lead.
St. Louis improved to 4-0-2 in its last six games and won despite losing top playmaker Doug Weight, who did not return after being cut below the nose when he was struck by a puck with eight minutes left in the second period.
Following the game, coach Joel Quenneville said Weight will be re-evaluated when the team returns to St. Louis, but probably won't play in the Blues' next game against Philadelphia tomorrow.
Adam Mair and Tim Connolly scored for the Sabres, winless in seven (0-5-0-2). The Sabres are also winless in their last nine games against the Blues (0-7-2), with their last victory coming Oct. 1, 1997.
"We're still finding ways not to win games," Sabres defenseman
Rhett Warrener agreed.
James Patrick said. "That was the difference tonight. They capitalized."
"That's a good lead," he said. "It should be enough. We've proven this year that we're capable of blowing it."
Justin Papineau had a hand in the game-winning goal, driving up the right wing and getting a shot off. Martin Biron got a piece of it, but the rebound deflected to the left circle, where Finley — pinching in from the point — flipped it into the open side.
The goal was Finley's 15th — and fourth game-winner— in 634 NHL games.
The significance of Finley's goal was not lost on the Blues.
"We'll have to buy him something," said Tkachuk, who was playing for Phoenix when Finley scored his last goal. "I'm glad. We needed this win. That's the thing with the way we've played all year. We've been through so much, all the adversity, and it's different people stepping up."
The Sabres appeared in control when Mair, sneaking a backhander through Brent Johnson's legs, and Connolly established a 2-0 lead in the opening period.
The Blues, who mustered just eight shots on net in the first 30 minutes, finally responded with two goals in a 78-second span.
1 kaehuk cut Buffalo's lead to 2-1 when he redirected Pavol Demi-tira's pass into the slot behind Biron with 5:45 left in the second period.

Catherine Bell, mock voter, and senators Kit Brauer and Kyle Johnson test the new online voting system in a computer lab at JRP Hall. The new system was tested by 12 people in last night's Student Senate meeting and will go into effect for the spring election.
Online voting to come
New program approved for University elections
By Cate Batchelder
catchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Last year's Delta Force candidates Karen Keith and Kit Brauer won the Student Senate race by six votes.
Too bad it didn't really count, said Jonathan Ng, the University of Kansas' real student body president.
The mock election at last night's Senate meeting used the Spring 2002 ballot to test an online voting program developed by Academic Computing Services. It passed the test, and Senate passed the bill to have the program in place for the this semester elections.
Catherine Bell, student executive committee chairwoman and mock voter, said the process was very simple.
She said she thought students would like that it would take less time than standing in lines and using paper ballots.
Fewer than 17 percent of the student body voted in the Spring 2002 elections.
said David Mitchell,2002 elections commissioner.
Kit Brauer, holdover senator who drafted the online voting bill, said he thought more students would vote because of the new system.
"And there will be better representation in Student Senate because the elections will better represent the student body if more people vote," he said.
This year's election commissioner, Courtney Wachal, said she expected the same voter turnout despite the new sys
Monks perform ancient legend
Shaolin monks open up last night's performance at the Lied Center by showcasing their daily exercise routines. Shaolin Wheel of Life featured monks trained at the Chinese Shaolin Temple, an institution established in A.D.495.

healthy bodies and strong ability to concentrate.
Established in A.D. 495, the Shaolin Temple has been the home and training site of these Zen Buddhist monks for more than 1,500 years. The monks' performance, along with the help of five professional actors, depicted a legend from the temple's history.
As an audience of nearly 2,000 people watched in awe, another performer smashed the concrete with a sledge hammer in an almost circus-like fashion.
The performers, 25 Shaolin monks from the Henan province of China, are part of the theatrical and martial arts performance, Shaolin Wheel of Life. The 90-minute performance last night at the Lied Center showcased the monks' original form of meditation, daily exercise and self-defense called Kung Fu.
Shengli Feng, associate professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures said the Shaolin monks were able to perform outstanding martial arts because of their
The show was hushed except for steady drumming music, occasional lute, Chinese flute and the yells of the Shaolin monks. A narrator told audience members that Shaolin monks believed that life was a circle. Although all but five young monks were killed at the end of the legend, the narrator said, they lived to continue the wheel of life.
"My favorite part is that they are fighting in the styles of different animals." Wes Wedman, Tulsa, Okla., senior, said during intermission. "You can tell which one they look like—a scorpion, tiger or snake."
Kung Fu mimics the movements of animals, Feng said.

corners each with one leg extended directly parallel to his bodies and with one foot directly behind his head for nearly three minutes while older monks performed martial arts tricks on the center stage.
"They are extremely flexible," Cara Ingram, Edmond, Okla., senior said.
"It's amazing what they can do."
Shaolin Wheel of Life, a House of Blues Entertainment production, has been on tour since April 2000 and has performed more than 260 shows. Spectators could buy T-shirts, key chains and other Shaolin memorabilia.
"I think it showed their amazing talent and what meditation does," said Cindy Tran, external vice president of the Asian American Student Union and Wichita junior. "But I think without further research the general public can't fully understand what the monks do."

Ideal chapter housing property hard to find
By JJ Hensley
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
The booming housing market of the last few years produced a well-publicized windfall for sellers, builders and buyers. Unfortunately those economics haven't trickled-down to a handful of fraternity and sorority organizations looking for houses they can call home.
Pi Kappa Alpha has been among those organizations in recent years. The chapter now has the option to buy land by the
Sigma Nu house northwest of campus near Ninth and Emery streets, said Patrick Meehan, chapter president and Overland Park junior. Simply procuring that land proved to be a difficult task, he said.
"There's nothing else existing near campus right now," Meehan said. "There's a lot of work and money that has to be done on that land even before it's suitable to build on."
To Angie Carr, coordinator for fraternity and sorority life, the situation revolved around the most important factor in real estate: location.
"There is land and housing available. It's just not where they want to be," Carr said.
Properties around Stewart Avenue near 19th and Iowa streets, were once popular destinations for organizations looking to provide housing for its members. Now that area is home to a cluster of new apartment buildings and one remaining sorority house, Alpha Gamma Delta, which has also purchased land near Sigma Nu.
Ultimately the students who used to live there voted with their feet, Jeff Weinberg, assistant to Chancellor Robert
Hemenway, told the Oread Neighborhood Association at a recent meeting.
Weinberg said that like other students, members of those houses had found housing close to campus to be at a premium. It's a problem only compounded by the amount of land required for a building capable of housing a few hundred residents.
"If they don't want to live on Stewart Avenue, there aren't really any lots available," Carr said.
So far the only available pastures have been near Sigma Nu, and now even that
option has disappeared, Meehan said.
"The only option is to wait for an existing fraternity or sorority to go under." he said.
In lieu of waiting for a chapter to fold, Carr said, fraternity and sorority organizations could work together through the department of student housing to live together on certain floors in residence halls.
"There are chapters that have money and want to be in the thick of it," Carr said. "But right now things are too thick."

Lives stand still while visas delay return to Kansas
Scott Reynolds/Kansan
Ahmed Dashti, Al-Ardhyah, Kuwait, sophomore, came to the United States on a student visa despite increased restrictions. "I waited two months for my visa," Dashti said. "I have friends at home who have waited a whole semester and didn't get it."
Following in the footsteps of his father, Ahmed Dashti began the process of applying for college in the United States shortly after his graduation from the Kuwaiti equivalent of high school.

Unlike many international students Dashti, Al-ardhyah, Kuwait, sophomore, was not dissatisfied with life in his home country. Life in the oil-rich emirate, which has enjoyed an amicable relationship with the United State, was good; opportunities in the United States were simply better.
When the time came, Dashti applied to several schools in the United States. Though his father studied years earlier at the University of Michigan, Dashti decided to come to the University of Kansas. A friend of his had already spent a year studying in Lawrence and the school seemed a good fit.
"We have a university in Kuwait, but it is much different," Dashti said. "In the United States before you graduate you do a lot of projects, especially for engineering. Back home you don't do that. When you work is when you start projects."
Full of hope and excitement, Dashti planned for a early August arrival in the United States. He began the process of

it would be more than two months before he was on a plane to Kansas.
Waiting game
Post-Sept. 11, Dashti's story is not the exception but the rule for Middle Eastern students. Increased scrutiny on student visas after the terrorist attacks has left hundreds of students wondering when — and in some cases if they will have their visas issued or renewed.
"There's no estimated waiting period for any applicant," said Kelly Shannon, representative in the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs, referring to the bureau's student visa application policy. "According to section 214 (b) of our code, all nonimmigrant visa appli-

Public administration receives $1.7 million gift
The public administration program received a $1.7 million gift from the late Thomas Page and Barbara Kester Page, both University of Kansas alumni. The money was part of a $2.3 million estate gift to the University.
John Nalbandian, chairman of public administration, said the money would go primarily for scholarships to support doctoral students.
The program is ranked 14th in the nation according to U.S.News and World Report. In the field of city management and urban policy, it's ranked No.1.
"I think we're going to be very competitive with this money in attracting the best students nationwide," Nalbandian said.

At least four cases linked to Stuart
Peck have been dismissed by Douglas County prosecutors after Judge Michael Malone said he had withheld information about a confidential search warrant application. Cases dropped included drug and burglary prosecutions.
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney's staff is reviewing cases for which trials have not been completed.
In 2001, Peck signed an affidavit asking Malone for a warrant to search a house for evidence of drug dealing.
"The magistrate reviewing the affidavit for search warrant could not have been more misled about the confidential informant's veracity," Malone wrote.
STATE
Livestock might be targeted by terrorists
HAYS — The state's livestock commissioner is warning cattlemen that their herds are possible targets for a terrorist attack.
Commissioner George Teagarden yesterday urged producers to be vigilant with their livestock, especially at markets and feedlots.
Foot-and-mouth disease was the biggest concern because of how quickly it spreads and how hard it was to stop, he said.
"On our radar scope, it's the most contagious disease known to man," Teagarden said.
He said Kansas livestock producers weren't specifically listed as terror targets last week when the homeland security alert was raised to orange, but the warning did include livestock diseases as a possible terrorist tool.
"Producers should be watching for any unusual disease symptoms in the livestock, control access to their facilities and notify their veterinarian if any unusual disease symptoms are present," he said.

GTAs balance homework, teaching
Change from student to a teaching assistant can be tricky,pleasing
By Nicole Roché

Kansan staff writer
Just three months after graduation, Samantha Parkes was back in school. This time, she was at the front of the classroom.
One of the most difficult aspects of the job, Parkes said, was balancing her own homework with work from the English classes she taught.
For many graduate teaching assistants, the transition from student to teacher can be challenging.
"I guess 'terrifying' is a good word to describe it," Parkes, Overland Park graduate student in English, said. "I'm not that much older than a lot of my students and I'm still a student as well."
"It's like juggling a chain saw, an orange and a feather."
Parkes said, "You have all these different things to deal with at once."
Brooke Stokley Finan, a Wichita graduate student who also teaches English, said sometimes her school work suffered because of the demands of the job.
"It's much easier to not do your own work than to let down 42 people who are counting on you." Stokley Finan said.
With 873 positions, GTAs made up nine percent of the University of Kansas' total faculty in the Fall 2002 semester, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning Web site.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant to Provost David Schulenburger, said GTAs were essential because they saved money for the University and were the faculty of the future.
Carissa Hill, a physics GTA said she felt qualified to teach her lab section, but she was still apprehensive about teaching for the first time.
"It felt like someone was
shoving me in front of a classroom of 30 people and saying. 'Good luck.' " Hill said.
Hill said she attended a GTA training session that outlined grading and safety procedures, but the session didn't emphasize teaching specifics.
At first it was difficult to be sympathetic in the classroom, Hill said. Students wanted her to explain each detail of the lab, but she wanted them to learn the material through experience.
"The first semester my reviews were the worst," Hill said. "One person wrote, 'What can I say? I hate her.'"
That was four semesters ago, and Hill said she now was more confident and compassionate as a lab instructor.
"I know physics can be very frustrating," Hill said. "Learning anything for the first time is difficult."
Parkes, who has taught English two semesters, said she had problems grading her peers at first.
"I worry, 'Is this person not

going to get into medical school because of me?" Parkes said. "But I have to remember it's the grade they've earned, not just the grade I'm giving them."
Parkes said many students are intelligent, interesting people she would be friends with if she weren't teaching them, which made the job even more tricky.
Despite juggling an arduous schedule, Parkes said being a GTA was a rewarding job.
"When one person comes up and says, 'I actually like poetry now' — that's what I live for," she said.

Graduate teaching assistant Samantha Parkes listens as one of her students responds to a question she posed in the classes' circle discussion of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown." Parkes joked with her students at the beginning of class yesterday afternoon that being a teacher was cool, but it was sad for her to know that people would celebrate when she was sick.
Office revises campus discrimination, harassment policies
Modified guidelines to eliminate overlap ambiguity in policy
By Jessica Hood jhood@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas Equal Opportunity Office has revised some of its policies to make sure they conform to state and federal laws.
The office's new policies on
discrimination, sexual harassment and racial and ethnic harassment were approved by Chancellor Robert Hemenway in December and became effective Feb.6.
Danielle Dempsey-Swopes, interim director of the Equal Opportunity Office, said the policies were reviewed last fall to verify the University's policies were in compliance with recent federal rulings.
Dempsey-Swopes said the racial harassment definition was
changed because in the late '80s and early '90s there were several rulings involving universities where the definitions were too broad.
"We wanted to makes sure our definition wasn't an over limitation and just streamline the definition," she said.
The new definition of racial and ethnic harassment also was changed so it did not cover areas already covered by other statutes. For example, Dempsey-Swopes said if an individual felt
threatened, there were other statutes that would protect them.
The changes made to the sexual harassment policy removed the procedure for handling complaints. This change separates procedures from policy so procedures exist for all complaints, not just sexual harassment.
"The goal was to keep the spirit of policies," Dempsey-Swopes said. "The important thing is to make sure it is not overbroad and there is an environment where diversity is
appreciated."
Students were notified of the new policies via e-mail. Jen Anderson, Wichita senior, said she received the e-mail but didn't pay much attention to the message.
"It probably wasn't important enough to spend time reading," she said.
The new policies can be found on the office's Web site. www.ku.edu/-equalop/, under the services and information section.
The Equal Opportunity Office has four main functions. The office monitors hiring unclassified staff and faculty, investigating complaints of discrimination, updating the affirmative action plan and investigating complaints from students, faculty or staff.

Americans delight in watching misfortunes of Hollywood stars
In America the only thing we love more than seeing someone rise, is seeing someone fall.
PERSPECTIVE
COMMENTARY
Take Michael Jackson for example. Last Thursday, 27.1 million people tuned into see a "documentary" that took a look into the pop star's odd life. It was the highest-rated news magazine episode since Barbara Walters interviewed Monica Lewinsky. It was not an actual documentary, but confirmation of what a raving junatic Jackson has become and the final nail in the coffin of his fading musical career.
The documentary said he sometimes let children sleep in bed, but he denied anything sexual occurred. The documentary also said Jackson wrote his songs in a special tree and Peter Pan was his hero. The contents became prime water-cooler conversation topics and why not?
Eric Borja opinion@kansan.com
We love to see the legends go down.
It's sad how we revel in it. The same thing happened with Mariah Carey, O.J. Simpson and Bill Clinton, to an extent. We ate it up as they publicly melted down.
Jackson's bizarre behavior and the media's obsession with his demise is beginning to sound a lot like Elvis' meltdown at the end of his career. Both built absurd theme-styled homes where they could live in a private fantasy world. They both latched onto an indulgence. For Michael Jackson, it's plastic surgery.
Both let the pressures of fame and fortune get the better of them. I just hope lackson doesn't suffer a similar fate.
Along with Michael Jackson, the media are eating up the LeBron James saga with the "too much, too soon for the basketball prodigy" story line. James was declared ineligible for the remainder of the season after he accepted two free sports jerseys worth $845. This ruling has been blocked. Again, people watched closely as he was declared ineligible, then eligible again.
Of course, we don't really want to see any harm done to our psychologically damaged celebrities. But seeing that they are as human as the next person makes for great TV drama. VH1's Behind the Music and E!'s True Hollywood Stories are examples of that.
Trust me, people wanted to see him fall.
Why do you think reality television is so big? We love seeing people fail.
I don't watch The Bachelorette or American Idol to see love blossom or witness the discovery a new singing star. I watch to see desperate meat heads pull out their A game and get rejected. I want to see karaoke superstars get a dose of reality: They will never ever be famous.
This trashy and tabloid style of news journalism has infiltrated all areas of the media. Viewers want scandal and controversy. Now people don't want to know about local community issues or general consumer news. They want the inside scoop about who is in rehab, who lied about what, who is screwing over whom and the media are obliging them.
More and more it's about the dollar and the ratings, as the documentary about Jackson proved. The documentary crew spent more than eight months with Jackson, and I'm sure it had enough footage to make a piece that focused on Jackson's global effect and his love for his family. But that doesn't lure in viewers.
So for now, Jackson is left to pick up the pieces and to hide the mannequins next time there are cameras around. My advice to him is to take the David Hasselhoff route and tour exclusively in Europe.
But as long as television keeps feeding us tales of infamy and failure, we will take it in with great enthusiasm.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Tomorrow flowers, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates and fajita burritos will commemorate the love of couples across Lawrence and Kansas City.
In honor of Valentine's Day, Chipotle Mexican Grille, 911 Massachusetts St., will present a free burrito to any couple who kisses each other at the cash register. The result: buy one, kiss for one free.
There is no shortage of personal displays of affection on the University of Kansas campus, nor on the streets of Lawrence. Couples have year-round excuses to hold hands when watching movies, buying groceries, walking dogs and sitting in class. Now the partnered people everywhere can add eating burritos to the list of PDA-appropriate events.
SUBMITTO
What about the singles? Lawrence Chipotle manager Kelly Kriegh said there was no other special for those without a sweetie. Free burritos serve as another reminder of their relationship status.
Maximum Length:
But singles are not without options. Those without a significant other should use this opportunity to become more familiar with a friend or neighbor. Singles should not let a Mexican restaurant shove burritos down the throats of others while they go hungry. Although it's not in the spirit of St. Valentine, boycotting the restaurant is an effective way to voice opinions.

Whatever action the singles decide to take, couples should take warning. Beware of the hungry, jilted, burrito-less singles roaming Massachusetts Street.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Humor isn't a collection of cheap, tasteless shots
tracy Hsiao's column, "Satire of differences promotes ethnocentrism," Kansan, Feb. 11) was on target. I doubt if the satire page would print "jokes" about black people eating watermelon or Jews being cheap, so why it is clean, innocent fun to insult Asians?
My message to the satirists: Try being funny without taking cheap shots at the way people look, or at the customs, real or imagined, of ethnic groups. If it's difficult for you to do that, maybe it's because you're not funny to begin with.
Win Iraq dispute without war
Ray Pence, American studies department
In his speech at the U.N. on Wednesday, Secretary of State Colin Powell once again asserted that Saddam Hussein had ties to Al Qaeda. Yet, even intelligence operatives in the FBI and CIA argue that such ties don't exist.
It appears that the president and Secretary Powell are using American's sorrow and fear about Sept. 11 to sell a war on Iraq — even though the two don't have anything to do with each other. If the president has a case for war against
Iraq, he should make it on the basis of fact, not fear.
We know Saddam is bad and deceptive. But he was just as bad and deceptive in the mid-1990s, when an aggressive series of weapons inspections resulted in the destruction of an enormous portion of his weapons capabilities.
There are more people in this country who oppose war than many of us here in Lawrence may realize. What better reason would Saddam have to use any weapon than a war, and what better reason does he have not to give up any of his weapons he can hold on to for "weeks not months" than real, immediate prospects of war. Let's push for a tough inspections regime and win this one without war.

Nathan Strickland, Weston, Mo., freshman
History shows that inspections can disarm Iraq. Chief weapons inspector Hans Blix has said that "successful disarmament of Iraq was possible without Baghdad's active cooperation, but it would be faster with Iraq's help."
War commentary lacks insight
May I suggest that perhaps you quit having people who have never even served in the military quit trying to write
Although women might not be able to go directly in the front lines, they can be in just as many dangerous situations. The threat to any military member, male or female, is disturbingly real. The point of the draft is to enlist the help of civilians when fighting gets bad. If men wanted to willingly join the military they would have. Males called up by a draft have no more desire to be there than a woman who could potentially be called up.
I just completed five years of active duty. Last I checked, I was a woman who willingly joined the military, as are all the other women who have and are currently serving in the military. Why was no mention of this made in the article? There are countless women on active and reserve duty in support of a looming war.
about things they have no clue about. You have a liaison of veteran's affairs in Strong Hall who I'm sure could put your writers in touch with others like myself that have experienced the military first hand. I have been disgusted with several articles and guest commentaries I have seen in this paper about military issues. Especially "Women in draft necessary part of quest to end discrimination." (Kansan, Feb. 5.)
So please, before articles are printed that try to belittle and encourage stereotypes, how about requiring some research next time. Women who have
served our country have already put up with women's stereotypes for too long.
Rachel Wheeler, St. Peters, Mo., nontraditional student
In Wednesday's Kansan, the editorial board said private donations were good for diversity ("Private funding enhances diversity," Kansan, Feb. 12). Nothing could be further from the truth.
Donors dictate class content
The idea of public education is that, through taxes, the common public funds the education of its children. Factions find less comfort in such a situation. When everyone contributes more or less equally to the funding of the university, diverse ideas can flourish. When individuals, corporations or churches begin funding public education, the interests of individuals, corporations or churches are served to the detriment of diversity. The only way a public university can thrive is if the people who comprise the public it serves commits to paying taxes. Your dollar, my dollar and Chancellor Hemenway's dollar combine to ensure that all our ideas find a forum, not just the ideas of the rich and powerful.

Determining appropriate tip is difficult but important
Web sites, servers provide guidance on how much to tip
Depending on which side of the counter you stand on, tips can be a blessing or a burden.
Why, the poor college student may ask, should I have to fork over the extra bucks when I just paid for my Mad Greek special in nickels and dimes?
There is some debate regarding the origin of tipping. According to the October 2001 article "Advanced Tipology" on www.money.cnn.com, tips might have originated in 16th Century England as "drink money" left for the server. In other words, the customer was saving, "Have a drink on me."
Another theory, posted at www.tipping.org, suggests the word tip is actually an acronym
standing for "to insure promptness." Apparently, patrons put money on the table before ordering and the barmaid determined the quality of service the person received based on the amount.
Now, of course, tips are merely an afterthought — crumpled bills and coins tossed on the table or placed in a tip jar. Most people observe the standard 15 percent tip at sit-down restaurants, but the question of whom to tip and when to tip is often a gray area.
COMMON CENTS
Tipping.org, a Web site devoted to the intricacies of the tipping dilemma, offers a downloadable tip table. Tipping.org and "Advanced Tipology" offer some guidelines when the question arises: How much?
10173
If one person is doing the cut or style, give him or her 15 percent of the total bill. If multiple stylists are involved, give 10 percent of the total bill to the person who sets the hair and divide 10 percent among the others. Remember: if this is someone who will be doing your hair in the future, it might not be a good idea to give him or her the shaft.

"If you don't get tipped, you're basically making $2 an hour."
Traci Elliott

waitress
For beer or wine, tip $1. For a mixed drink, tip $2. Ryan Blair, Lansing freshman and bartender at Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., said he considered tips a bonus for good service. When he doesn't get a tip, he said, "It means I'm doing something wrong." In the case of small tips, Blair said, "Anything helps."
Bars
Exotic Dance Clubs
For patrons sitting at the stage, $3 a song is a minimum. For other patrons, $1 is appropriate. Waitresses at dance clubs should receive at least $1 a drink, more for mixed drinks.
Is a tip appropriate when the person carries the food out to your car? Adam Roybal, a Hugoton junior and associate man
Sonic Drive-In
ager at Sonic, 3201 W. Sixth St., said the restaurant encouraged employees to work for tips. Carhops are paid minimum wage, Roybal said, and many of them depend on tips as part of their income." A dollar or two is nice," Roybal said. "We don't expect 15 or 20 percent."
Restaurants
Tipping.org says this is the most controversial section on the site. A 15 percent tip should be given to a waiter or waitress
20 percent for a four-star restaurant. The site defines a fourstar restaurant as one that "by default gives extraordinary service." The site says the tip should be figured with the pre-tax amount.
Traci Elliott, Omaha, Neb. junior, said she depended on tips each night she works at Chili's Grill & Bar, 2319 Iowa St.
"If you don't get tipped, you're basically making $2 an hour," she said.
Elliott said she noticed that when she was tired or not as perky, her tips lowered.
It's unclear whether tips should be a requirement or a reflection of the quality of service. Obviously, leaving a low tip tells the person you were unsatisfied - but leaving at least a small tip shows you understand it might just be a bad day for the individual.
The band Live may have said it best in their song "Waitress" from its 1995 album Throwing Copper: "Come on baby, leave some change behind ... Everybody's good enough for some change."

Disc golfers practice in park
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The disc flies to the chained goal. It hits the goal and drops in as the thrower celebrates. The group then collects its discs and walks to the next goal.
This group is earning college credit in a disc golf class at the University of Kansas.
The class is held at Centennial Park, Ninth and Iowa streets, and the grade is based on attendance and one paper. There are 33 students enrolled in the class that begins March 11, with seven vacant spots.
Joseph Proffitt, Lawrence senior, took the class in 2001 and said it was a great way to relax in the sun while earning a credit hour.
"It didn't seem like a class," he said. "We just walked around the park throwing discs and talking with friends."
Tyler Harnett, Overland Park sophomore, said he agreed the class was easy, and playing with friends improved the experience.
"The teacher just takes attendance, and that's pretty much it," he said. "I had my roommates meet me at the park, which made it even better."
Harnett said disc golf might not be for those looking for intense competition.
"I wouldn't take it again," he said. "I like competition, and this is just a walk in the park."
Proffitt said he had considered taking the disc golf class again, but didn't have time this semester.
"It's a good life-long activity," Proffitt said. "We often stayed after class and played another round, and I met a lot of really cool people. I would encourage anyone to take it if they have the extra time."
A man is playing golf on a grassy field. He is holding a club and preparing to hit the ball. The background shows trees and a building.

Students with extra time can enroll in the class, though the limit on the number of the department's classes students can take depends on the students' schools. The department recommends students check with their individual schools.
David Peterson, Ames, Iowa senior, braves the cold and squeezes in a round of disc golf at Centennial Park, Ninth and Iowa streets, before his afternoon class.
Linda Conner, senior administrative assistant of Undergraduate Services, said College of Lib
eral Arts and Sciences students could take any of these types of classes up to four times.

Professor easing diabetic life
A diabetic's life is filled with insulin shots and blood sugar monitoring. One University of Kansas professor is trying to simplify that daily task.
Linda Olafsen, assistant professor of physics and astronomy teamed up with Mark Arnold, a University of Iowa professor, to develop a new optical blood glucose sensor that would eliminate the need to stick the skin for blood samples when obtaining blood sugar levels.
The monitor will be worn like a patch, most likely on the forearm. It will use asemi-conductor, a chemical element that conducts electricity, that will emit infrared light that will pass through fluid underneath the skin.
Some of the light will be absorbed by the glucose. The detector then determines the blood sugar level by figuring how much light the glucose absorbed.
"We're trying to develop
something that in the end will be more convenient and less painful." Olafsen said.
Olafsen's device would make it easier for diabetics to check their blood sugar levels throughout the day because they wouldn't be sticking their skin, she said.
Calkins checks her blood sugar level by drawing blood from her forearm. She said older blood glucose monitors required puncturing skin on the side of your finger, which could be quite painful.
Diana Calkins, St. Louis junior, has type-one diabetes. Her daily routine includes insulin shots after every meal and a checking her blood sugar level three or four times a day.
She said she liked doing it better on the forearm.
"It doesn't hurt at all but still gives you an accurate test," Calkins said. "The more often you can check it and the easier it was, the better it would be. It's important to maintain tight control."
Olafsen and her research
team are in the project's beginning stages. In about five years they will start testing the device on animals and eventually humans.
The researchers received a four-year grant for $2.5 million from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
The cost of the device is not yet determined, but Olafsen said it should be comparable to current glucose monitors. She said it might cost more because of the convenience it offers.
Olafsen has diabetic family members and friends, which makes the project she is working on that much more meaningful.
Calkins said the possibility of a new glucose monitor might be beneficial to diabetics.
"The positive thing about diabetes is all the technology is changing so fast," Calkins said. "It makes me hopeful that there will be a cure and a way to treat it better."

tem because it still required students to vote at polling sites.
"If people don't care about Student Senate, then having an online voting system in place won't change that," she said.
Wachal said she expected voter turnout to increase significantly if the system expanded further next year to allow online voting from any computer.
This spring's polling sites have increased 150 percent with the addition of sites at computer labs in Learned and Summerfield halls, Brauer said.
Brauer and Kyle Johnson, engineering senators, have worked with the elections commission and Computing Services to monitor and develop the system. The group will continue to work out possible glitches before the online voting system is put to the real test by students.
"I was very impressed with the work that the elections commission has done with it," Bell said. "It's good to go for this year."

cants are assumed to be intending immigrants until they are proved otherwise to the satisfaction of a consular officer," she said.
The ambiguity of the state department's language — Shannon would not elaborate on what constituted the "satisfaction of a consular officer" — has left international students befuddled and waiting.
"I went and applied for a visa, and they told me five weeks," said Raed al-Bilbissi, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, senior. "I thought it might be good, a nice excuse not to take summer school."
In the end, al-Bilbissi might have been better off with summer school. Like Dashti, al-Bilbissi left the Middle East for an opportunity at a different type of education.
"After five weeks had passed I went to Jeddah, and the woman at the consulate told me my visa was not ready. And then she just said 'next' without explanation."
After receiving a full-scholarship to attend school in the United States from the Saudi oil company Aramco, al-Bilbissi applied for and received a visa to attend school in the United States.
Raed al-Bilbissi
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, senior
Upon arriving in Kansas, al-Bilbissi had no plans of returning to Saudi Arabia before receiving his degree, but a family illness forced him to change his plans in May 2002.
Al-Bilbissi's decision to return home for the summer would prove fateful.
"After five weeks had passed I went to Jeddah, and the woman at the consulate told me my visa was not ready," al-Bilbissi said. "And then she just said 'next' without explanation. I told her 'Wait, wait,' but she just said she would call."
Eventually Aramco told al-Bilbissi and others with visa troubles that they would have to work for the company because they were still being paid by the company.
Working long days in the sweltering factory, al-Bilbissi said he never lost hope. He simply grew more impatient.
"I was basically waiting for my life to start," he said. "I had my car, my apartment, my girlfriend, my life in Kansas."
It took five months and more wrangling at the U.S. consulate in Jeddah, but al-Bilbissi was finally granted a visa. He considers himself lucky.
"I think that certain measures, if you work within the mandate, will point you to certain things. However, we're not trying to target anyone because of their race or religion. That's simply not the goal."
Kelly Shannon Representative in the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs
"I think in my company there were 70 people who went back," al-Bilbissi said. "Only 17 have returned to school."
In attributing blame for their visa delays, both al-Bilbissi and Dashti said discrimination contributed to the wait.
Aracistpolicy?
"I believe the government's policy is racist," Dashti said. "It focuses on the Middle East."
Shannon said the State Department did not differentiate between races when asked about Middle Eastern students' longer than typical delays in the visa application process.
"I think that certain measures, if you work within the mandate,
will point you to certain things," she said. "However, we're not trying to target anyone because of their race or religion. That's simply not the goal."
Whether the policy is intentionally racist or not, the number of visa applications accepted from the al-Bilbissi and Dashti's home region has sharply declined since Sept. 11.
According to Shannon, the state department issued 11,823 F1 student visa applications from the what the State Department classifies as the Near East, which includes Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa, during the period Jan.1,2001,to Aug.31, 2001.
In the same time period in 2002,4,764 applicants for F1 student visas were accepted,a 60 percent decrease from the previous year. Comparative data for a group of Western European countries, including Great Britain, Germany and Italy indicate Sept. 11 has not affected that region's F1 student visa issue rate nearly as much: There has been only a 13 percent drop in visa issues from this region since Sept. 11.
In the coming months, neither Dashti nor al-Bilbissi has plans to return to their home countries because they are afraid they won't be able to return. Al-Bilbissi said
Difficult Decision
"War-wise, or anymore pressure on me, if I feel like I'm under pressure. I'm going to go back home."

he would stay in the United States until he received his degree and then returned to Saudi Arabia to work for Aramco.
In the meantime, he said, he worries about friends who are in the same situation but haven't been able to come back to school vet.
For Dashti, another incident could persuade him to give up his dream of an American education once and for all.
"War-wise, or anymore pressure on me, if I feel like I'm under pressure. I'm going to go back home." Dashti said.
He's thought seriously about going home twice, he said, and he's already recommended to his 16-year-old sister that she not come to study in the United States, although she has U.S. citizenship and would not need to apply for a student visa.
"I don't want her to come here and have problems," Dashti said. "She's planning on staying home. She doesn't want to come here."

Trible enabled Price to score. Later in the inning, Metcalf hit a three-run home run — his first hit of the year after going 0-4 against Arkansas-Little Rock Saturday — to give the Jayhawks a lead they never relinquished.
"Last week he was really tentative. He just needs to believe in himself," Price said. "I told him I believe he is a better hitter than he does."
Metcalf ended up going 2-3 with 4 RBI. He said Price's confidence in him helped.
"Coach has been talking to
me all week about staying aggressive," Metcalf said. "Hopefully, I can build on this for next week."
The Jayhawks won the game 10-6, with Falconer getting the victory. Ritch Price said he was happy to get the victory, but he knew the team needed to get better.
The Jayhawks travel to Louisiana State Friday to Sunday for three games against the Tigers.
"I was disappointed with the two errors we had." Price said. "We are trying to upgrade the defense because we don't have a power pitcher."

most potent inside combination. Kemp said they already thought similarly on the floor, but the duo could have it down to a science in the near future.
"We both know that we're very versatile as far as being able to do things both inside and out," Kemp said. "We'll be able to communicate better. With time, all we can do is get better."
The team's theme this season
was growth. Whether it's growing mentally on the floor, or learning how to play as a cohesive unit and put together a complete half, this season is a building block for the future.
If Kemp has any say in the matter, she wants to lead Kansas back to prominence just as she did at Topeka High.
"I want us to be one of the teams that's not to be reckoned with," Kemp said. "Next year, we will be a team that teams will not underestimate anymore."

Giddens'mother, Dianna, previouly said Giddens had not known an illegal act had taken place that night. Last weekend, she said her family agreed not to talk further about the incident.

Williams stood by Giddens, but one Jayhawk fan close to the situation didn't want to see that happen. Terry Webb, training coordinator at the Wal-Mart where the arrest occurred, is a Kansas graduate.
"I think coach Roy should take his scholarship away," Webb said. "We are the third-winningest program in the nation.
One of Webb's co-workers, sales associate Kara Hubbard, said she thought Giddens should get another opportunity.
and we didn't get that way by taking on people that aren't up to our standards."
"We all make mistakes." Hubbard said. "He's 17, he's young, he has a future. I think they should give him leeway."
Williams gave Giddens leeway, and Giddens said he planned on using it to better himself.
"You've got to live with the stuff that you did," Giddens said. "I used it as a learning experience, and I'd say it changed my life, but you've got to move on. Time to grow up."
Garcia awarded salary in arbitration
— Edited by Andrew Ward
TAMPA, Fla. — Seattle pitcher Freddy Garcia was awarded the third-highest salary in arbitration when he won his case against the Mariners yesterday.
The 26-year-old right-hander was awarded $6.8 million by arbitrators Richard Bloch, Jack Clarke and William Holley, who heard the case a day earlier in St. Petersburg. The Mariners had wanted to pay $5.9 million.
Garcia went 16-10 with a 4.39 ERA last year, when he earned $3.8 million.
Players and owners have split the four cases decided thus far, with Florida left-hander Mark Redman also winning.
Marlins right-hander Vladimir Nunez and Cincinnati left-hander Bruce Chen lost their cases.
Ten players remain scheduled for hearings through Feb. 20.
Houston infielder Julio Lugo's case was about to start yesterday when the sides agreed to a one-year contract worth $1.5 million. He also can earn $75,000 in performance bonuses.

launched throws — you name it
— it happened under former
coach, Bobby Randall.
Price has brought optimism and a renewed, gritty sense of "why shouldn't Kansas be able to win at baseball?"
Early on that outlook turned heads. Price has vowed to challenge his team through scheduling. Five top-25 teams await
Kansas in the Big 12 Conference.
So the rude awakening begins tomorrow, when Kansas goes to Louisiana State for a three-game series. Just seeing those two teams in the same sentence in regards to baseball demands a double-take.
Talk about a culture shock. By midgame yesterday, no more than 150 people graced the Hoglund Ballpark stands. Friday night at 6:30 at LSU's Alex Box Stadium there were more
than 8,000 screaming purple and gold baseball fanatics.
But that's what elevating a program is all about. You've got to see how the best do it before you can become the best yourself.
"I'm looking forward to going down and seeing quality arms," Price said. "It's going to be a good measuring tool for our club, as far as where we're at now and where we need to be. I thought we needed that environment in
order to take another step forward."
And right now, that's on the top of Kansas' to-do list, far ahead of caring about how many fans fill its own ballpark.

Forecasts for Big 12 teams
Now that the Big 12 Conference season is halfway through, I have made my midseason projections for Kansas men's basketball and its biggest conference threats. Oklahoma State (18-3 overall, 7-1 Big 12)
SPORTS COMMENTARY
The Cowboys are a surprise so far this season with quality victories at home against Missouri and Oklahoma. Their only home game against a quality opponent is Texas Tech. The Cowboys are second in the Big 12 in scoring defense, but look for that to fade when they meet Texas, Colorado and Kansas
Oklahoma (16-2 overall, 7-2 Big 12)
— three of the top four scoring offenses in the Big 12.
Projected conference record in second half : 4-4 (11-5 Big 12, 22-7 overall)
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Jason Hwang jhwang@kansan.com
The Sooners have relied on their stifling defense all year. Oklahoma is leading the the Big 12 in scoring defense by holding opponents to an average of 60.2 points per game.The Sooners will continue to use their experienced backcourt of senior guards Ebi Ere,Quannas White and eventual
First-Team All-Big 12 player Hollis Price, whose 19.2 scoring average ranks second in the Big 12. The Sooners will try to hold their own to extend their 34-home game winning streak against Oklahoma State, Texas and in a week from Saturday, Kansas. As great as Price and Ere are for their team, Oklahoma will not muster enough offense to back up their defense to beat top teams at home.
Projected conference recording second half: 5-2 (12-4 Big 12, 21-6 overall)
Texas (16-4, 7-2)
For the Longhorns, it's all about the eventual All-American point guard sophomore T.J. Ford, who was the first freshman ever to lead the NCAA in assists per
game average. This year, he's pacing Texas with a 14.6 scoring average and 7.2 assists per game. He led the Longhorns to break an eight game losing streak to the Sooners at home in Austin, Texas. I see this talented Longhorn squad to win the rest of its games.
Projected conference record in second half: 7-0 (14-2 Big 12, 23-4 overall)
Kansas (18-5,8-1)
Despite the bad losses to Arizona and Colorado, the Jayhawks will win the final seven games of their conference season. With Kansas' conference-leading offense playing without Simien, the team was the last to beat Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., and it can end the Sooners home game winning streak. Kansas will also win in Columbia, Mo., for the second straight year.
Projected conference record in second half: 7-0 (8-1 Big 12 18-5 overall) The future 2002-2003 Big 12 regular season champions.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 13).
Today's birthday (verb. 18).
If you want something badly enough, you'll work for it. If you and a partner both feel this way, the work will be easier, even if there's more of it. This may not be logical, but it's doable this year.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Why not hunker down and compile your notes? Figure out what has to be done first, second and third. Besides, you could use the quiet time.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Postpone travel, even business travel, ifyoucan. Don'tworryiflong-distance calls don't get through. You're better off doing your homework before making big decisions.
There's a lot going on, and you may feel you aren't getting the backing you need. Can you produce results without it? Practice. It's a handy skill.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
A disagreement with someone you love might clear the air. Get it out of the way so that you can both work as a team again.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6. All sorts of crazy schemes are finally being exposed for what they really are. Wait until you're sure which ones are true and which are false before choosing.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
If you're obsessing about your work, it might be good to talk to your friends about it. Even if they don't understand, it'll do you good to vent.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
You can talk circles around the person who's giving you orders, but that's not a good idea—unless you don't want to be part of that team any longer.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Your travels may temporarily take
you away from the person you'd like to be near. Set a date for Monday evening, and keep it no matter what.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
Should you spend or save? Spending might be more fun, but saving is the better bet. Get yourself a little treat to make it less painful.
Capricorn (Dec.22-Jan.19).Today is a 7.
There may be a difference of opinion about how things are to be done, or about the results you're after. That's the trouble with collaboration. Compromise.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a7.
It's getting easier to express yourself, and that's always a relief. It'll make it easier for you to win an impending argument.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a
Don't let a lovers' quarrel mess up your romantic plans. It's temporary, anyway, and it may help clear the air.

Team gains experience this season
The scene seemed suited more for Saturday Night Live than for a Kansas baseball game.
"Welcome, Kansas fans, to Hoglund Ballpark and Big 12 Conference baseball," the public address announcer boomed yesterday afternoon.
Price, in his first season as a Kansas coach, is building a foundation for the future. But don't remind him of that. He doesn't want to hear it.
It was 11:50 a.m., 10 minutes before the scheduled first pitch of the home opener with Western Illinois. Upon hearing the announcer's greeting, the eight fans sitting in Hoglund Ballpark all shot an equally puzzled glance towards the press box and chuckled.
What fans, they must have thought, the eight of us?
Welcome to the life of Kansas baseball. Ritch Price, where the successful go unrecognized and the unsuccessful go ... well, unrecognized.
"I refuse to say that this is a rebuilding year — we have some talent," Price said earlier this year at baseball's preseason media day. "We want to compete now. We have some strong left-handers who can really throw for us, and we can hit from top to bottom in our lineup."
No argument there. Sophomore pitcher Tom Gorzelanny slated to be Kansas' ace, left school last month, but Price still has loads of left-handed players. The Jayhawks can hit for power, hustle as if there's no tomorrow and, as Price proved yesterday, can play smart baseball.
In the second inning of Kansas' 10-6 victory, the Jayhawks executed three consecutive bunts. Two bunts resulted in base hits and runs, and the other was a successful sacrifice.
The buns won't show up in the box score, but Kansas needs nonbox score contributions. Mental errors, base-running mistakes, botched steals,

Junior first baseman Ryan Baty nearly gets the out at first base during a pick-off play. Baty was named Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Baseball Player of the Week on Monday with a batting average of .536.
Brandon Baker/Kansan
The Kansas baseball team experienced some ups and downs in its home opener against Western Illinois.
Jayhawk senior pitcher Pat Holmes forced the Leatherncks' first three batters out in the first inning. Then senior center fielder Lance Hayes, the Jayhawks' lead-off hitter, singled in the bottom half of the first inning. However, the team could not capitalize on the hit, which stranded Hayes on base.
Kansas' downs began in the second inning when Western Illinois' first hitter, Blake Schultz, reached second base after an error by Kansas senior shortstop Brandon Shepard. Schultz doubled up on first after Hayes made an over-the-shoulder catch at the warning track in right-center field.
In the Jayhawks' half of the second inning, their first hitter, junior right fielder Matt Tribble hustled out a double to short left center field. A bunt by senior left fielder Casey Spanish advanced Tribble to third. Kansas had four bunts in the second inning, including three straight by Shepard, freshman catcher Matt Baty, and Hayes.
The Jayhawks scored 3 runs in the inning to give the team a 3-0 lead. Coach Ritch Price said it was important to play off defensive mistakes and execute sacrifice hits.
"Coach Price always talks about us needing to manufacture two runs a game,
and that is what we did," sophomore third baseman Travis Metcalf said.
Senior designated hitter Kevin Wheeler drove in freshman second baseman Ritchie Price in the third inning to give the Jayhawks a 4-1 lead.
Sophomore pitcher Kenny Falconer relieved Holmes in the fourth inning and beamed the first batter he faced. Falconer struggled yesterday, walking three batters in the inning and giving up 3 runs. The Leathernecks tied the game 4-4 in
the top of the fifth after Falcconer gave up a home run to Joe Rooney.

Freshman forward Crystal Kemp is second in scoring and in rebounds for the Jayhawks. "I want us to be one of the teams that's not to be reckoned with," Kemp said about her desires for the Jayhawks.
Freshman forward Shawn Kemp idolized NBA star Shawn Kemp growing up.
In an outstanding start to her Jayhawk career, one can see the impression that the elder Kemp left on his admirer; whether it's sharing the same jersey number or bringing the same tenacity on the floor for every game.
Through 21 games this season, Crystal Kemp has established herself as a force for years to come as a Jayhawk, standing out in a group of impressive newcomers. She is second on the team in scoring, averaging 11 points per game and second in rebounding with six per contest. An even more valuable trait Kemp brings to each game is her flair for competition and her will to win every time she takes the court.
Kemp's early success should come as no surprise, as she also made a splash in Topeka for the past four years. Kemp was largely responsible for putting Topeka High School back on the map as a women's basketball powerhouse.
In Kemp's senior season, she average 21.7 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, and the led Topeka High to the state playoffs after a 16-year absence. Kemp's high school accomplishments garnered her attention from some prominent Midwest programs, but Kemp ultimately decided to stay close to home.
"It's close, and the coaching staff was really nice," Kemp said. "I felt like I was at home here."
Coach Marian Washington saw the potential in Kemp, and expected her to be the same leader on the floor that she was in high school. Kemp struggled with her role early in the season, but she understood the coaches pushed her to
her limits for her own good.
"Sometimes this year I was frustrated," Kemp said. "They were constantly pushing me. It got to me at first, but they were doing it to make me better."
Washington thinks the extra attention will pay off.
"I think that for anyone who's watched her play, it's clear she has a lot of upside," Washington said. "She has to learn to play at a certain level of intensity every game. I see her as a very important member of our future."
Molding from the coaching staff has not only made Kemp take great strides this year but also her partner in the low-post, freshman forward Tamara Ransburg.
As the season progresses, Kemp and Ransburg look to have the makings of what could be the Big 12 Conference's

Kansas recruit puts brush with law behind him, moves on
By Joey Berlin
jberlin@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
OKLAHOMA CITY — Before its boy's basketball team played Friday night, John Marshall High School in Oklahoma City announced the nominees for its spring sports homecoming court. One of the nominees for king, a 6-foot-5 basketball player dressed in warmup clothing and a headband, escorted two candidates for queen onto the court. No sooner had his name been announced than the taunting began.
"Wal-Mart! Wal-Mart!"
J. R. Giddens, a senior forward at John Marshall, hears this from opposing fans every game. He's likely to hear more of it
next year, when he joins the Kansas men's basketball team as one of coach Roy Williams' top recruits. But he said he was ready for it.
Giddens is a sought-after recruit for the Jayhawks. ESPN.com ranks him 17th on its list of this year's top 100 high school seniors. The Rivals 100 list places him 41st. His high school coach, John Martin, likens him to former Oklahoma State standout Desmond Mason, now a member of the Seattle Supersonics.
But when Giddens was charged with
"I love the fans taunting me," Giddens said after scoring 20 points and snagging 15 rebounds in John Marshall's 81-50 blowout of Star Spencer High School. "It gets me all hyped up, just thinking they've got to go out of their way to taunt me."
grand larceny for attempting to steal from an Oklahoma City Wal-Mart Supercenter in December, he left himself open to prosecution and added verbal abuse at John Marshall games.
On Friday, Giddens fed off the abuse. As the buzzer sounded at the end of the first quarter, Giddens nailed his third three-point shot, a 25-foot bomb that gave him 13 points and his team a 29-7 lead over Star Spencer High School.
When he came back onto the court for the second quarter, Giddens looked up at a now-quiet section of Star Spencer fans — the same ones who had been taunting him — and cupped his hand over his ear. Then, he moved his finger across his throat in the classic throat-slashing gesture. Message delivered.
"I take that as an advantage on the court, and it gets me hyped," Giddens said. "I want to look up at them like, 'I don't hear nothing now,' you know?"
"I think the style of basketball at Kansas suits me because I'm athletic and can use my athleticism in the open court."Giddens said.
Giddens is confident on the floor, and he's just as confident that he'll fit in Williams' up-tempo offensive attack.
Martin said Giddens still had to mature physically but would find playing time at Kansas.
"That's what every coach in the nation is looking for: an athletic shooter," Martin said. "So, he'll fit in up there. Plus, he's coachable."
After his arrest, some Jayhawk fan
wondered how Giddens would fit in under Williams, a coach known for recruiting players with clean records.
Giddens was arrested at about 3 a.m. Dec. 19 with three others, including his uncle, Rickke Green. According to a police report, security cameras recorded a Wal-Mart cashier pretending to scan merchandise. The report said the cashier deactivated the sensors and rang up only a compact disc worth $14.88. According to the report, Giddens was caught on camera loading items into a shopping cart.
The 17-year-old Giddens was later charged as a juvenile with grand larceny. Last month, attorneys settled his case. At that time, his lawyer, David Ogle, said the

Campus restrooms rated golden plungers awarded
By Marissa Stephenson & Kelly David Gibbens mstephenson@kansan.com Jayplay staff writer and special to the Kansan
Editor's note: These are the second annual Golden Plunger awards in Jayplay. Restrooms that garnered the most Golden Plungers were the dirtiest with bad lighting and a poor stock of supplies. Stephenson rated the women's restrooms. Gibbens rated the men's. Congratulations to this year's winners.
The Kansas Union, fourth floor lobby Men's restroom
Golden Plungers: 3
A trail of muddy footprints led into the surprisingly untidy Union bathroom. Toilet paper littered the floor along with abandoned reading material. The trash cans were overflowing, and one of the sinks appeared to have leftover noodles in it. On the bright side, literally, there was plenty of lighting. All of the door hinges were in working order.
Final Word: Not too shabby,but room for improvement.
Women's Restroom
Golden Plungers: 1
The most impressive aspect of this bathroom was the impeccable shine of the mir-

rorrs. There was not one blotch, splotch or smear. The soap and paper towels were well stocked, and an essential extra toilet paper roll was included in each stall. As a bonus, there was a small metal counter top beside the full-length mirror — a perfect short-term resting place for your items. With very little dirt or trash on the floors, this frequently used lavatory impressed.
Final Word: Great place for your next stop.
Fraser Hall, first floor Men's Restroom Golden Plungers: 2
Despite popular opinion and green walls, this restroom wasn't that bad. It had the common problems, the floors were a bit wet from sink over-flow, powdered soap had made its way to the tile and there was a bit of trash about. The TP and paper towels, however, were well stocked. And save for the stalls, the lighting was soft with a comforting yellow warmth.
Final Word: A work in progress
mix to bar scene
Women's Restroom Golden Plungers: 4
The dingy beige walls depressed and the bland yellow lighting disheartened, in this, the dowdy spinster of KU bathrooms. Besides the overall drab feeling, muddy toilet paper littered the floor, and grime covered the sinks and fixtures. The mirrors were smudged, and small piles of powdered soap had accumulated under the dispensers. The classic '70s style sofa might have made up for the lackluster atmosphere if it wasn't positioned to face the two stalls. Kate Maher, Oskaloosa sophomore, concurred.
"This is definitely not the best bathroom on campus," Maher said.
Final Word: Neither clean, nor cheerful.
Golden Plungers: 5
Wescoe Hall,fourth floor Men's Restroom
Imagine the scummiest restroom you've ever been in. Now go to Wescoe Hall's fourth floor men's bathroom and prepare to be shocked. Welcome to the land where cleanliness is scarce and aim is out of style. Besides the usual problems of trash, water run-off from the sinks and leaky soap dispensers, each stall offered up its own special surprise. The coat rack was the only silver lining to this dank dungeon of defecation.
Can Nelson/Kansan
Final Word: For emergencies only!
Newspapers clutter the floors in the men's bathroom on the fourth floor of Wescoe Hall. The bathroom received five Golden Plungers in the annual Golden Plunger awards.
Golden Plungers: 5
A small puddle of toilet water with bobbing wads of paper towels greeted bathroom-goers at Wescoe. This bathroom couldn't even be praised for utility. Despite the long row of stalls, each one produced the all-to-common "open and shut" effect of repulsion. The couch and chair aren't bad, if you don't mind sharing with a mop and spare roll of paper towels. First time visitor Ashley Avila, Topeka freshman, wasn't impressed.
Women's Restroom
"Yeah, this really needs some assistance. It's pretty dirty in here," Avila said.
Final Word: Avoid this one if you can.
Budig Hall, front bathrooms Men's Restroom
"It's one of the nicer ones, but it has the same smell, you know?" Knudsen said.
Indeed it did, but it also had an overall healthy hue.
Golden Plungers: 2
I was impressed with the modern design and snazzy overall quality of this particular restroom. However, there was a bit of cluttering trash, and the floors had a tinge of dirt. Breaking men's restroom etiquette, I asked Justin Knudsen, Minneapolis, Minn., freshman, for his impression of the bathroom.
Final Word: A bit cleaner, and it could be the best on campus.
Women's Restroom Golden Plungers: 2
This one appeared clean and classy with the flair of hunter green and white tiles and spacious entryway, ready for the inevitable Budig bathroom lines. The mirror was spotless, the sinks shiny - though there were dust piles of powdered soap on the floor — and the light was bright. Not only were there fully loaded paper towel and toilet paper dispensers, each stall

This restroom's boy-blue walls took me back to my grade school years. Along with the normal problems, this particular stop had a few extra disappointments. Jason Froelich, Newton senior, noted one.
Golden Plungers: 4
"It looks pretty nasty in here, and really they need to get rid of this powdered soap," Froelich said.
Flushes seemed to be few and far between at this locale with the added hindrance of an out-of-order urinal. The lighting was decent, and the fixtures and sinks were in fair condition, but the overall cleanliness was definitely lacking.
Final Word: A restroom fixer-upper
Women's Restroom Golden Plungers:3
This lavatory gets props for the snazzy, artsy tile on the entryway wall. Though it was a nice touch, the chipping green floor looked as if it needed a bit more of the attention.
The sinks and mirrors seemed to have a healthy gleam and the newly painted blue stalls were pleasing. While the lighting was fair in the main entryway, there was no lighting above the stalls, creating a dark toilet abyss.
Final Word: Not terrible, just bring a flashlight

CLUB SCENE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5
New night club adds mix to bar scene
By Shane Mettlen
smttenl@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For those who think the Lawrence bar scene has gone flat recently, Last Call night club hopes to add a new wrinkle.
The bar opened for business Jan. 31 but celebrated its grand opening Friday in the building where Tremors was previously located, 729 New Hampshire St.
Trent Glass, general manger of Last Call, said Lawrence had a yearning for something new.
"The nightlife scene in this town has really gone downhill," Glass said. "I've been here for 12 years now and it isn't the same as it was when I was in school."
The new bar is under the same management as Coyote's night club, 1003 E.23rd St.
Ronald Ruiz, Last Call disc jockey, said he played a lot of Top-40 and trendy music.
"I'll also play some underground music and remixes that people know," he said.
Last Call offers entertainment options other than music and dancing. The club has video games, including Golden Tee and PGA Tour Golf, as well as pool tables, foosball and darts.
Glass said there was a lounge area where people could get away from loud music - between two fully stocked bars is an elevated dance floor. He said Last Call would provide a friendly environment for the University's fraternity and sorority community.
"We plan on having a lot of greek people," Glass said. "We're looking to have some special functions for sororities and fraternities, possibly something in conjunction with Rock Chalk Revue."
Last Call is open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., Thursday through Saturday.

"Get your love gear here, and lingerie sale" reads the sign on Priscilla's window.
Priscilla's, 1206 W.23 St., and other area businesses receive many customers looking for that perfect Valentine's Day gift.
"Lingerie and adult toys are most popular for this holiday," said Psachal Calloway, Priscilla's employee and Kansas City junior. Calloway expected business to pick up at least 25 percent the week before Valentine's Day.
"Many women come and buy their boyfriends cute boxers or massage oils," said Calloway. "We also sell a lot of love kits and games."
But if you're not the kinky, forward type, a romantic dinner may be your gift answer. Cook a meal for your significant other, or hit the local fine dining establishments where you may spend half the night waiting for a table.
Local restaurants Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Dr., and Shalor's, 701 Morgan
chusetts St., aren't taking reservations anymore. They're all booked for Valentine's Day. And Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., isn't taking reservations, but expects a

"Girls love teddy bears, and you can customize it," said Bonacker.
Prices for bears range from $30 to $100 or more. This could be a great gift if one has about three hours to spare to travel there and back.

Escape holiday blues
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It's that time of year when couples exchange gifts, plan romantic evenings and stare longingly into each other's eyes while making their single friends sick.
That's right; Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and some of those without significant others are preparing whiskey and nooses.
The relentless barrage of Valentine's Day advertising has made the holiday impossible to ignore and given it potential to cause depression.
John Wade, outreach coordinator and counseling psychologist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said although the number of depression cases may not go up, people were more focused on relationship issues during Valentine's Day.
"It's certainly on their minds," he said. "Valentine's serves as a reminder because relationships are constantly being shown on TV and talked about with friends."
Wade said those who went to Counseling and Psychological Services for help with Valentine's depression would get help with looking at positive aspects of being single
a relationship to be happy," Wade said.
For those who aren't medically depressed, the answer may be found in a stiff drink and loud music to disrupt the perfectly planned romance occurring next door.
Here are a few fun facts to throw at the obsessed friend who won't shut up about how much he likes this holiday:
Valentine's Day is the remembrance of the bludgeoning and decapitation of Bishop Valentine, who performed illegal marriage ceremonies.
Consumers spend an average of $77.43 on Valentine's Day gifts.
About 3 percent of pet owners get pets Valentine's Day gifts. Few get anything in return except a litter-box surprise.
Fifteen percent of women have sent themselves flowers on Valentine's Day.
More than 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged each year, making it the second largest card-sending occasion behind Christmas.
Seventy-three percent of people who buy flowers for Valentine's Day are men;27 percent are women.

Kansas City scene offers new options for entertainment

Kansan staff writer
When nightlife in Lawrence gets old, students head to Westport for some variety.
Located in downtown Kansas City, Mo., north of the Country Club Plaza, Westport offers a change of scene to students who are willing to make the drive.
"Going to Westport on the weekends provides a change of pace from the typical night out in Lawrence," said Melanie Curtis, Pratt senior. "Before my sister's wedding, we had her bachelorette party down there and it was great. Another friend of mine had her 21st birthday in Westport. It's just nice to go somewhere new for a special occasion."
Here's a look at Westport's many options for a night on the town.
Harry's Bar & Tables 501 Westport Road
Harry's Bar & Tables is an upscale cigar and martini bar that also serves excellent food. The bar is a great place to wind down, as it is relatively quiet compared to other Westport haunts and is open until 3 am.

Blayney's is a blues bar featuring live music six nights a week.
There is usually a cover charge of less than $5, and the bar is open until 3 a.m. If you're looking for some live music other than dance music, this is the place to go.

"I've never been to Westport but it's always been somewhere I thought about going," said Laura Johnson, Overland Park junior. "I just need to find someone willing to take the drive with. I'd be up for a night out in Kansas City and get away from the same old Friday night."

DIFFERENT SIZE.
SAME GREAT TASTE.
University production emits emotional effect
By Donovan Atkinson
datkinson@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
Art can be associated with beauty, grace and virtue. But that wasn't the case for Jennifer Fletcher when she first read The Dying Gaul, which opened last night as part of the University Theatre's Inge Series.
"When I first read it I hated it," said the Topeka graduate student and director. "It was an ugly show with horrible, ugly people, and I thought it ended horribly."
But the more Fletcher thought about it, the more she realized how intriguing it would be to develop the characters and the story.
The Dying Gaul, by Craig Lucas, is the story of a screenwriter named Robert. Robert writes a screenplay about his experiences losing his lover, Malcolm. When he tries to sell the script, also titled The Dying Gaul, a movie executive pushes Robert to change the homosexual couple into a heterosexual couple.
Jeffery, the movie executive, then initiates an affair with Robert. The affair is discovered by Jeffery's wife, Elaine. Elaine, desperate to know everything she can about Robert, breaks into his psychiatrist's office and uses the information she learns there to reach Robert in an online chat room.
The reactions of the characters lead to more destructive behavior. The affair between Jeffery and Robert causes Elaine to pose as Malcolm in their online conversations. Robert, who starts the play as innocent, attempts to poison Elaine.
"It's a lot about how people react to situations," said Evan Grosshans, Lawrence junior and cast member. "It doesn't sugar-coat anything."
THEDYING GAUL
The University Theatre will present The Dying Gaul, by Craig Lucas, in the Inge Theatre Feb. 12 through Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 16 at 2:30 p.m.
Fletcher said that The Dying Gaul was an exploration of a "what if" for Lucas. Lucas, also known for A Prelude to a Kiss, wrote the screenplay to Longtime Companion, a movie about gay relationships and the impact of the AIDS virus. The action in The Dying Gaul can be seen as what could have happened to Lucas and his movie under different circumstances.
"It's uplifting, in a way, because the main character has a lot of negative baggage and he gets rid of it and moves on with his life," Grosshans said.
Fletcher attributed part of the play's emotional impact to the small cast. With a small cast, fewer actors means more work.
"With a cast of four, we can delve deeper into the characters," Fletcher said. "There's more one-on-one attention for the actors."
"In a big cast, there may be someone that you don't know as well," he said. "With a small cast, and since we all knew each other already, we were able to explore the character relationships."
Grosshans agreed that the cast size allowed for more character development, but he said that it also allowed for cast members to develop closer working relationships.
Patrons are advised to buy tickets early in the run. Tickets are available at the Murphy Hall ticket office or by calling 864-3982.

Film causes firearms debate
By Courtney Parker
cparker@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
Although it has been months since Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., started showing Bowling for Columbine, the documentary is still attracting audiences and causing debates on campus about firearms.
Filmmaker Michael Moore's latest endeavor has brought the right to bear arms under fire and created a buzz throughout the country and in Lawrence.
One thing not being debated is ticket sales. Doug Redding, Liberty Hall employee, said the film had been playing at the theater since the beginning of the year, but sales hadn't reached as fevered a pitch as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which also enjoyed a long run at Liberty Hall.
Redding said the film came in as Wedding was going out.

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding was just for fun." Cannon said. "Bowling for Columbine really attacks something and tries to raise questions." Cannon said.
Contributed art
Roger Moochie, Santa Fe, N.M., senior and member of the National Rifle Association, said he thought the film was propaganda.
"The Constitution is not for interpretation by new generations," he said.
Bowling for Columbine has Moore exploring the gun world's followers and its nay-sayers, looking at reasons for America's high rate of gun violence and a person's right to exercise the Second Amendment, which allows citizens to keep their weapons.
"The framers felt it was as important as any basic freedom," he said.
Moochie said this kind of "junk journalism" hadn't changed his views on gun control.
Leyia Cannon, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, took the film's message to heart.
"This movie has definitely opened my eyes," Cannon said. "I didn't know anything about gun control except that it was debated."
Cannon said that she had never understood why the United States had such a high murder rate compared to other countries in the world.
She said that while Moore's film hadn't provided concrete answers to many questions for her, it did highlight them for discussion.
In the film, Moore looks for the catalysts of the massacre at Columbine High School. He discusses the blame placed on musicians like Marilyn Manson. It suggests that violent video games or bad parenting could be blamed as causes for the incident as much as the shooters' bowling class.
Cannon said she couldn't see a solution to the problem.
"I hope that this film might make people more aware of the dangers of guns," she said.

Review Film: a classic in the making aims to shock and thrill
Here's a second opportunity to see 2002's best little-seen movie, Roger Avary's ecstatically dark adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel, The Rules of Attraction. James Van Der Beek stars as a drugged-out Lothario pining for Shannyn Sossamon's bohemian innocent. Any movie that's the brainchild of the irredeemable Ellis (see also American Psycho) must first aim to shock, but Avary also wants to thrill with his own pan of sexual sensibilities. No other college film has gotten this close to the debauchery. The Rules of Attraction is a classic in the making, a movie to be played on big-screen televisions at future mixers like a psychotic fun house mirror.

'Chicago'reinventsmoviemusicalgenre
REVIEW
A
Stephen Shupe
sshupe@kansan.com
The movie musical made a near-comeback two years ago with Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge. That was a film I found unendurable, but at least it has opened the floodgates for Rob Marshall's Chicago, a far more entertaining (and blessedly sane) "reinvention" of Hollywood's golden oldie.
I think the musical will stay an oldie, even if Chicago wins the Academy Award. Marshall takes fewer risks than his film's wide acclaim would seem to promise and this ultra-light piece of movie fluff won't linger in the memory long.
As the camera prowls through a night-club seething with sex and Al Capone's illegal booze, Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who's running a little late because she's just murdered her husband and her sister because of an illicit affair, hurries onto the stage. Zeta-Jones looks great in black lace and leather boots, and when she breaks into song, there's an intense sexuality to her presence.
Across town there's another crime of passion unraveling, this one with Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) and Roxie's mouth boyfriend, Fred Casely (Dominic West). Women here seem to wipe out their
lovers and rivals like herds of cattle.
Velma and Roxie are hauled off to jail to await trial under the supervision of Matron "Mama" Morton (Queen Latifah), an only-in-the-movies black-lady warden of a Prohibition-era cellblock. Star-hungry Roxie confides in cool-hearted Velma, and when Roxie's charges get completely dismissed, she escapes into her thoughts, where everyone sings and dances to her whimsy.
The movie has become famous for this idea about Roxie's imagination — the musical numbers feel more spontaneous because they're all in her head. But I thought this was an original idea when Lars Von Trier used it three years ago with Björk in Dancer in the Dark. That was a
daring and emotionally galvanizing musical, one that could have sent the genre off in an interesting new direction had it been given more attention.
Regardless of whether Chicago's choreographers are originals or rip-off artists, Marshall's instincts keep even the movie's most exhilarating sequences from transcending their inherent theatricality.
If Roxie dreamed up these song-and-dance routines, the girl might have a promising career in theater directing, but not necessarily one in filmmaking. Marshall is good with dazzling flashes of light but he never relinquishes himself or his actors from the safety net of stage direction.
Surprisingly, the guys end up stealing the show. As the playboy lawyer Billy Flynn, who gives rise to Roxie's stardom, Richard Gere turns in one of his best performances.
Gere usually looks so nervous I often wonder if a domineering father figure is staring him down behind the camera, but his singing and his acting in Chicago have a velvety magnetism, as if the actor were channeling James Cagney from one of the all-time great musicals, Yankee Doodle Dandy. And as Roxie's sweet but dim husband Amos, John C. Reilly shines in one of the movie's few moving numbers, "Mr. Cellophane."
CHICAGO ... B-
Starring: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee
Zellweger and Richard Gere
Rated PG-13 for sexual content and dialogue, violence
Playing at South Wind 12 Theatres, 3433 Iowa St.
Everybody here can sing and dance just swell, which is more than could be said for Moulin Rouge. But why this is the favorite to win the Oscar is beyond me.
Certainly it lacks the spectacle of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the thunder of Gangs of New York and the cleansing spirit of Spike Lee's Sept. 11 tone poem, 25th Hour. Evidently the Academy wants its winners to comfortably play riffs on familiar territory, not to recklessly break new ground, and Chicago fits the bill like great jazz played by rank amateurs.

And as Roxie's sweet but dim husband Amos, John C. Reilly shines in one of the movie's few moving numbers, "Mr. Cellophane."
CHICAGO ... B-

Everybody here can sing and dance just swell, which is more than could be said for Moulin Rouge. But why this is the favorite to win the Oscar is beyond me.
Certainly it lacks the spectacle of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the thunder of Gangs of New York and the cleansing spirit of Spike Lee's Sept. 11 tone poem, 25th Hour. Evidently the Academy wants its winners to comfortably play riffs on familiar territory, not to recklessly break new ground, and Chicago fits the bill like great jazz played by rank amateurs.

Here is a money-saving tip. If, for some unknown reason, you feel compelled to purchase the All-American Rejects' album after hearing the hit song "Swing," opt for the single instead. Take the compact disc home, put the song on repeat for 12 times and you basically have the full-length debut from these Oklahoma rockers.

too derivative sound. Overuse of the drum machine, over the top production and a general repetitious feel to every song hampers what should be a promising debut from a young Midwest band. Vocalist Blub Blub croons sweetly and emotionally about love lost and other trials and tribulations of being a 20-year-old underground heartthrob on MTV.
Clichéd lyrics and repetitious chord progressions are standard fare on every track. Bored? Try the excitement of guessing the next line, it's easy!

Vocalist/lyricist Blub Blub makes use of every overused and cliched line in the love song book, making listeners feel like they bought a listeners' guide to corny lyrics.
Track four begins with an electronic drum beat and acoustic guitar riff reminiscent of current adult contemporary. As the song progresses, the listener begins to realize the familiarity to other popular songs, like hits by Michelle Branch and Barenaked Ladies. I'm not kidding, it's that bad.

the album in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming without the acoustic, artificial luxuries of a recording studio makes the album all the more impressive.
Other notable live-recorded acoustic albums exist, but none so flawless as From Music In High Places. Nirvana's Unplugged In New York set the standard in many ways as the premiere acoustic live album for alternative rock, but many flaws appeared on the record.
Live and Alice In Chains put forth worthy efforts, thanks to the former MTV Unplugged series that has since fallen off the planet along with the rest of MTV's programming. With the technological advantages those bands had in a studio setting over Unwritten Law in a natural setting, the surprising aspect of Unwritten Law's album was the smooth and perfected sound of every instrument, even Scott Russo's vocals.
Originally a punk rock band, Unwritten Law has gradually taken the edge off much of its music over the years. Its previous album Elva was a step down from its previous self-titled album with its sentimental first single "Seein' Red."
"Seein' Red," along with the other single from Elva "Up All Night" are the true gems on this album featuring an otherwise solid but not stellar tracklisting.
Taking a punk rock band and all its three-chord musical sophistication into an acoustic setting generally would produce a pretty bland result. Unwritten Law's tweaking and manipulation of its arrangements create some much-needed variance to its set on the album.
Enough treatment to its sound, along with the outstanding nature of the recorded sound, results in a generally listenable and likable record, although still not quite on the level of Nirvana or Alice In Chains on their respective live acoustic albums in terms of emotional exigency and musical refinement.
Unwritten Law, however, does offer a very competent album in its place with solid arrangements of old fan-favorites that should treat longtime followers not already disoriented by their gradual change in musical approach.

For the Couple: An indoor picnic
What's needed: A large blanket, 10 long-stemmed red-and-white candles, two red-and-white pillar candles, two slender flutes or wine glasses, a champagne bucket, a bottle of champagne or dessert wine — a Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling — recipe for berries and fresh whipped cream and a favorite mood-setting CD.
What to do: Lay blanket it in the center of the living room floor. Place long stemmed candles in pristine candleholders throughout the room. Then place bottle and ice into champagne bucket and chill. Insert CD; prepare recipe. When ready, set the two large pillar candles on each side of the champagne bucket, light candles, arrange desert and wine and play music. The evening is set!
For the Group: A heart-full-of-chocolate party
What's needed: Divide the cost and purchase a clean white tablecloth, exotic flowers, ingredients for chocolate cake, a heart-shaped pan, small dessert plates and forks, wine gobbles, a Chianti decanter and a gallon of milk.
What to do: Prepare recipe. Lay tablecloth on kitchen table. Sprinkle flower petals all over white cloth. Arrange goblets, decanter, plates and fork in corner of the table. Pour ice-cold milk into the decanter and position the chocolate cake as the centerpiece. Serve when ready!
For the individual: Indulging in a chocolate fantasy
EAT THIS
What to do: Invest in fondue maker (I promise you will get a lot of use out of this), prepare recipe and rent a favorite movie.
These great treats and ideas can bring happiness to anyone's Valentine's Day. Even if there isn't a special someone to love, pampering yourself is what's most important.

Snakehead makes splash at University
Editor's Note: Last summer the Northern Snakehead fish was mistakenly released into a pond outside Baltimore, Md. Within three weeks, the fish had walked (that's right, walked) to another pond. And then to a river. And then to a lake. It had mated. Lil' Snakehead guppies were bouncing around local playgrounds, and the Snakehead had integrated itself into American society faster than any group of immigrant marine life in history.
Now, less than a year later, one of the first American Snakeheads is attending her second semester at the University of Kansas. A freshman in environmental studies, Sally is not the average student. In fact, she's a fish. A walking fish. Nonetheless, with a little grit and determination, Sally is confident that she can make a splash in academia.

She started out as a delicacy and ended up a freshman in environmental studies.
Before she ever saw the inside of a classroom, Sally, Little Patuxent River, Maryland freshman and Northern Snakehead fish, was Tuesday's special at Jade Garden.
"I pleaded with the man to let me go," Sally said. "I walked right over to him and begged him to set me free. That kind of freaked him out, the walking and the talking. He passed out and I walked out the back door."
The laborious and dangerous two-mile walk to Strong Hall was accomplished in just under two days. After applying for and receiving both financial aid and a minority scholarship, Sally enrolled in 18 hours. When summer ended and campus once again teemed with life, Sally found herself in a role she

could only dream of in her days walking from pond to pond: a student at the University of Kansas.
'A Walking Miracle'
Today, Sally is a member of the Mount Oread scholars program and a resident of Lewis Hall. With her 2.1 GPA, Sally is far from the head of the class, let alone food chain. Nonetheless, decent attendance and occasional sparks of motivation have earned Sally praise from her instructors.
"She's not that smart, and she's not a very fast walker, but her accomplishments have surpassed scientific explanation," Evolution Instructor Chuck Wardin said. "She learned to speak both English and Chinese before her first month birthday. She can walk, read and ride a bike. She's a walking miracle."
Sally remains humble about her accomplishments.
"My environmental studies textbook says that Snakeheads have the ability to dramatically alter almost any ecosystem." Sally said, "I'm trying to alter it for the better."
An Upstream Battle
So why did Sally the Snake head choose to become a Jay hawk?
"Simple," Sally says. "Great people. KU might not be a top 20 University, but we have a good basketball team, and people here have a great attitude. When I walk down Jayhawk Boulevard, people always shout, 'Rock chalk, fish!' I love that."
Unfortunately, Sally's reception at KU has not always been so warm. In her first week of class, Sally said someone slipped a sheet of Long John Silver's coupons into her backpack.
"That was cold-blooded." Sally said of the incident.
More disheartening,however.

was her parting from the swim team. Despite shattering virtually every record in the first meet, Sally walked into practice one morning to find her teammates glaring at her from over a New England science journal.
"They just handed it to me and said, 'explain this,'" Sally said. "It was all about the snakehead fish. How we eat our young. How we are voracious eating machines that can devour anything in their path. I tried to explain to them that there are 33 different kinds of snakehead, but they said they weren't comfortable around me anymore."
Though her departure from the swim team was disheartening, Sally remained thick-scaled. With a bit of what she calls the "comeback sauce," Sally got involved in a variety of campus activities. This semester she is serving as a replacement senator and works security at the Kansas Union Bookstore.
Sally spends much of her free time with her boyfriend Allen David Nashville, freshman, who she met early in the year at a fire safety seminar in Lewis.
"Sally has a great heart and a truly beautiful personality," David said. "She's quite a catch."
Social Animal
Sally said that she learned a lot about humans from David, even though things could be better.
"Biologically, we're not that compatible, so physically things are a bit lacking," said Sally. "Emotionally, he's kind of shallow, but hey, who am I to talk, I can walk on land."
In addition to maintaining a relationship, Sally is an avid partier. Sally attends Friday hip-hop concerts at the Pool Room, 925 Iowa, and also enjoys hanging out in the hall.
"She drinks like...well...like a fish," said roommate Krista Jadobsen. Junction City sophomore. "She got lost in a bottle

This summer, Sally plans to visit the Yellow River in an attempt to reconnect with her ancestral roots and find the relatives she's never seen.
"I don't know what we'll talk about," said Sally. "Actually, they can't, so we probably won't. But it'll be good to see them. Plus, I've always wanted to take a walking tour of the Great Wall, of China. Well, I guess I can do that."

Bond game has new features
I'm OK with secret agent scenario games, so I tried out EA's 007 Nightfire for the Playstation 2. I'm a fan of Nintendo 64's Goldeneye, so I figured that I should try the new Bond game.
This new game in the Bond series has a few new things to go with it, but the main premise remains. First person shooter is still the genre of the game, but some surprising new vehicles gives it a new feel.
The game starts out in a true James Bond essence. You know — the whole James Bond shooting down the gun barrel and the blood trickling down the screen. The dancing women and cool CG effects like an intro to a Bond movie follow the first level.
One feature that Nightfire has is a code name. The code name is what players use to keep track of all the missions they take on. It keeps the progress of the game saved and gives you the opportunity to use your very own custom character for Multiplayer gaming.
As always, you are in control of James Bond, one of the most legendary secret agents of all time. This time you must do battle with international green industrialist Raphael Drake.
Drake is organizing the theft of a secret component of missile guidance hardware intended for the U.S. Space Weapon Platform. You must stop his plans or he will surely take over the world (so what else is new?). This mission will take you all over the world and even out of this world. No matter how many times Bond runs into crazed megalomaniacs, it always seems interesting.
The graphics of the game are exceptional. James Bond himself, Mr. Pierce Brosnan, lent his figure to EA Games to be the template of the Bond character, but he doesn't supply him with the voice, which seemed rather odd.
One gadget Bond always has with him is his car. Now you are able to use it when the situation calls for it. James' Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is fully loaded with Q's latest gadgets including machine guns, rocket launchers, turbo boosters, smokescreen, and even an EMP discharger.

007 NIGHTFIGHTER ... C
Now available for Playstation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and PC
Rated Teen for suggestive themes and violence
- Sells for an average retail price of $50 for Playstation 2, GameCube and Xbox; $20 for PC
The major flaw of the game is, like most first person shooters, all you do is run. point, shoot.
The action is plain redundant and can get tiring pretty fast. Perhaps if they change it to a third person rather than a first person view it would be more interesting. Being in third person would have James pulling off better moves rather than just showing his hand carrying a gun.
One feature for this game that the Bond games of the past possess is the multiplayer mode. For this, I enlisted the help of my roommate. It's always fun to play a multiplayer game, because slaughtering CPUs can become too boring too fast.
All in all, 007 Nightfire is a decent game to play. A rental for this would be fine. This game isn't the best there, but for first-person shooter fans, it will suffice.

Bohl rumors abound
Director denies reports of misconduct at Fresno State

With his former employer facing allegations of academic misconduct, University of Kansas Athletic Director Al Bohl is facing rumors about his job security.

Ine Fresno Bee reported Sunday that Stephen Mintz, former statistician for Fresno State University, said that he wrote 17 pieces of course work for former Fresno basketball players Courtney Alexander, Terrance Robertson and Dennis Nathan in 2000. Mintz told the Bee that he received at least $1,500 from Nate Cebrun, a Las Vegas street agent for his

The infractions allegedly occurred during Bohl's tenure at Fresno State. Bohl served as athletic director at Fresno State from 1996-2001.
The allegations fueled reports on sportstalk radio shows and in Internet chat rooms that Bohl would be fired within the next two months.

"We've had to listen to it all afternoon on the radio," Konzem said Wednesday. "It's ridiculous."

Recent rumors on Internet chat rooms and sportstalk radio have speculated that KU Athletics Director Al Bohl is in jeopardy of losing his job. Both Bohl and Senior Associate Athletics Director Richard Konzem have flatly denied the reports.

"They are rumors" he said. "I'm just going to forge ahead, trying to do great things for the University of Kansas."
Bohl replaced former athletics director Bob Frederick in June 2001. Shortly after accepting the position, the Bee released Fresno's financial reports from 1998-2000 that showed $1.16 million in accounting discrepancies, resulting in a seemingly balanced budget and bonuses for Bohl. Bohl has denied any wrongdoing and said he had confidence that Fresno State President John Welty would resolve Fresno State's latest problems.
"I know Fresno is going to do the right things to handle the situation out there," Bohl said.
As for Bohl's situation, Chancellor Robert Hemenway issued a statement through the University Wednesday night denying that Bohl's job was in jeopardy.
"We're aware of recent news reports regarding Fresno State University," Hemenway said. "Both Fresno State and the NCAA have ongoing investigations. It would not be appropriate to comment
on those investigations at this time. No changes in athletics administration at KU are being considered."

Courting marriage God included in faith-based love triangle

Kansan staff writer
Many students have entered into a three-way romantic relationship while at the University of Kansas — and most of them don't use phrases such as "menage a trois" to describe it.
So, who's the third partner?
The relationship exists between two people and their God.
Whether they call it a courtship, an engagement, a dateship or simply dating, these students come from a variety of religions, most of which stress the same values and beliefs when it comes to dating.
"The courtship is a discernment," said Katie Pretz, Osawatomie junior. Pretz and her boyfriend have been dating for 10 1/2 months. She said that they didn't consider themselves dating because generally when people date they are not

"We're not just hanging out spending time together," Pretz said. "If we decide during the courtship that we're not meant for each other then we'll break up. Hopefully it will lead to an engagement."
Students in faith-based relationships find prayer helpful.
Sara Batenhorst, a Catholic student and Fort Worth, Texas, junior, said she prayed with her boyfriend before they went out, or they would say a rosary on the way to their destination.
Batenhorst also found help in a class
offered at St. Lawrence Catholic Center titled "Theology of the Body." The class stresses the importance of abstinence in faith-based relationships and is offered as both a coed and single-gender class. The coed class meets at 8:30 p.m. Sundays at the center, the men's class meets at 5:15 p.m. Thursdays, and the women's class meets at 7 p.m. Sundays. The classes are open to all students regardless of their faith.
Abstinence is an important issue across a variety of faiths.
"When we try to live up to that standard the relationship goes a lot smoother," Adam Stiller, a St. Louis junior who identifies himself as a Protestant, said about his relationship with his girlfriend. "We actually find it more frustrating when we fail to live by that guideline."

Before candidates for this spring's Student Senate election have thrown their hats into the ring, a possible elections violation may have occurred.
Ryan Doherty, Lee's Summit, Mo. sophomore and the recreation and travel coordinator for Student Union Activities, acknowledged yesterday that he forwarded the information of about 700 students from an SUA database to potential student body president and vice president candidates.
Although Knopp and Coffeyville junior Catherine Bell, his running mate for vice president, deleted the e-mail before looking at it. Doherty violated SUA's constitution and possibly federal law, said Lawrence junior Fallon Farokhi, SUA president and potential Delta Force candidate for student body vice president. Bell said she and Knopp deleted the e-mail before opening it because they thought it was junk mail.
Last month, Doherty e-mailed the information — which included names, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and KUID numbers — to his fellow Theta Chi fraternity member Andy Knopp, Manhattan junior and potential KUnited candidate for student body president.
Knopp said neither he nor Bell asked
Doherty to get the information. He said Doherty gave the information to Knopp and Bell to help them raise interest in their bid for Student Senate. Doherty said he erased the KUID numbers so that they weren't included in the e-mail. Farokhi said.
SUA members found out about Doherty's actions and held a meeting to discuss the matter with him. As a result, the remainder of Doherty's $500 scholarship that he receives each semester as an SUA officer was taken away. The SUA board voted to keep him on staff Feb. 5, but Doherty resigned Monday.
"He's not a bad guy," Farokhi said. "It's been a really emotional time for him. I don't think he realized the severity of his actions."
Farokhi said Doherty thought he was utilizing his SUA resources but didn't know that they weren't his resources to use.
Doherty acknowledged the situation and deferred comment to Knopp.
"I just feel like he didn't understand the rules," Knopp said.
"Basically, the e-mail was nothing better than a student directory," he said. "It really wouldn't have done us any good."
Knopp said it was lucky the identity information wasn't used publicly.

What happened: Ryan Doherty, recreation and travel coordinator for Student Union Activities, forwarded SUA member information to potential KUnited candidates.
What this means: The forwarding of confidential information violated SUA policy.
What's next: Otherty resigned from his SUA post and the incident will be handled internally by SUA.
the elections commission Monday.
Elections Commissioner Courtney Wachal said the commission acknowledged it had received and dealt with the complaint but wasn't able to comment.
The issue was discussed at a meeting of the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation, the governing body of the union. Student Body President Jonathan Ng was at the meeting.
"This is not an issue with the coalition," said Ng, KUnited coalition member. "I know that kind of behavior would never be encouraged."
"SUA dealt with it as an internal matter," Knopp said. "And I think they dealt with it as they saw fit."
Ng and Knopp said this was entirely an SUA responsibility.

Out-of-state students who have made the decision to attend the University of Kansas can save money by applying for residency—but only if they are willing to meet the requirements.
An in-state undergraduate student pays $97.35 per credit hour. An out-of-state undergraduate student pays $337.45 per credit hour, so gaining residency can save students more than $240 per credit hour in tuition.
Students must apply to a committee of three university faculty members that reviews the applications based on the state's definition of a resident.
In order to gain residency, students must have lived in Kansas 365 days before applying, must rely on Kansas resources for support and must have intent to make Kansas their permanent residence.
Molly Winters did not enroll at KU
"Intent is incredibly difficult to prove while they are attending school," Wiesner said.
Renee Wiesner, assistant to the registrar, recommends that students withdraw from school for a year to prove their intent because evaluating a student's intent to stay in Kansas is subjective.

this year with the intent to prove residency. Winters is from Omaha, Neb., and would have been a junior.
She recently applied for residency and expects to return to KU in the fall if it is approved. She will attend classes at Johnson County Community College in the summer.
"Juco is giving me in-state tuition now," Winters said, "so I'm going there for now."
But taking the time off to be granted residency is not a guarantee, and some students are not willing to take the chance.
"I'm not going to take a year off and be a year behind if it's not guaranteed," Mariel Sparr, Omaha, Neb., senior, said.
Sparr is waiting for a decision on the third application she has submitted.

Students develop leadership, network
ByLauren Airire
lairey@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center will host the 16th annual Blueprints Leadership Conference tomorrow.
The one-day conference at the Kansas Union focuses on leadership fundamentals to develop new leadership skills. The conference is also designed to help students make connections necessary to be an effective leader, said Erin Michaelis, event organizer and Hays senior. About 90 students, mostly underclassmen, will participate.
"For me, the main benefit of these leadership workshops is getting to know people on campus, both other students and faculty," Michaelis said. "It's a great networking tool."
The conference is planned by Michaelis and Irakli Mirzashvili, Ness City, junior, 2002 Ex.C.E.L. award winners.
The two students have been planning the workshop since last fall with the help of Rueben Perez, coordinator of leadership, and a planning committee of 10 students.
The conference will focus on small-group discussion, with two upperclassmen facilitators leading groups of 15 students. Students will talk about the 11 speakers scheduled for the conference and problems or concerns associated with leadership, Michaelis said.
Al Bohl, Kansas athletics director, will open the conference. The day is broken up into three sessions with three speakers per session.
The conference will close with Barbara Ballard, associate vice provost of Student Support and Kansas state representative.
Many of the University's most recognized student leaders have participated in the Blueprints conference, said Johanna Maska, Galesburg Ill., junior. Maska participated in the conference during her freshman year and is now Student Senate legislative director.
"It's not necessarily what the people there have to say and it's not about a particular icebreaker. It's who you meet." Maska said. "I'd definitely say it helped me."

Research tests if back belts are right fit
Back injuries account for nearly 20 percent of all injuries and illnesses in the workplace and cost the nation an estimated $20 to $50 billion per year, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
The mechanical engineering student is researching if back belts really work. Because stores like Office Depot are using the belts now, she chose to research their use, she said.
To combat this expense, employers have turned to back belts. But according to Kelley Briant, Dallas junior, back belts have never been adequately tested to see if they help to eliminate back injury.
Briant places five sensors on her subjects that connect them to a computer. She has the subjects bend to a specified angle shown on the computer screen. Then they have to match the angle of the computer screen from memory without a back belt and then with a back belt on.
"We're suspecting that people can match the angle better with the back belt on, as opposed to doing it without the back belt," Brian said.
The purpose of this test is to see how people bend beyond their
limit, which is what leads to back injuries, she said.
Sara Wilson, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is Briant's supervisor. Briant's work is part of a larger set of research dealing with the prevention of lower back pain.
Wilson said the immediate impact of Briant's research would stem from finding out if Office Depot and Home Deport were doing the right thing when purchasing back belts for their employees.
"Is it useful or not useful?" Wilson said. "Then they will have some justification in buying them."
Nathan Haley, customer service manager at Lawrence's Office Depot, said all associates in his store were required to wear back belts. He said the employees have had no back injuries.
PENN ANNIE SMITH
"We attribute no back injuries to extensive training on safety and the use of back belts," Haley said.
Wilson said she wanted Brian to eventually write a paper and present her research at a conference.She anticipates government agencies will be interested in her research.
"It's actually a really practical problem," Wilson said. "It's something that's going to have an impact and generate lots of interest."
For her research Briant was

Kansas City air quality zone may include Lawrence
Bv JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
On the map, Lawrence and Kansas City, Kan., are separated by about thirty miles. A decision this spring by the Environmental Protection Agency could ensure the two cities aren't separated at all, at least in terms of air quality.
Depending on the recommendations received from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' office in April, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could include Miami, Leavenworth and Douglas counties in the Kansas City air quality zone. Depending on the
new standards imposed by the EPA, that zone could be considered non-attainment.
Non-attainment zones are those areas where air quality falls below the federal standards for pollutants in the Clean Air Act.
The decision would essentially equate air quality in those counties with that of Kansas City. But the air quality in Douglas County isn't that great to begin with, said Karl Birns, professor of environmental studies at the University of Kansas.
"The health department did some preliminary air quality readings not long ago by the KU nature preserve," Birns said.
"that's a pretty pristine area, and we were right on the border of being a non-attainment zone then."
If Douglas County is judged to be 'non-attainment' local health officials must take steps to ensure their airborne pollutants did not exceed federal limits.
Those steps could include additional air monitoring in Douglas County and providing reformulated gasoline to motorists from April through September, said Sharon Watson, public information officer with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Reformulated gasoline reduces
emissions of ozone-forming compounds from cars during the high- ozone summer season.
In 2002, Pennsylvania motorists paid an average of two to three cents more per gallon for reformulated gasoline before tax, than they paid for regular, or oxygenated fuel, according to the US Department of Energy.
"The state needs to work with the communities to figure out what does and doesn't make sense to meet their requirements," said EPA engineer Lee Daniels. "Supplying reformulated gasoline may or may not be one of those things."
One of the steps the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has already taken to improve air quality in Douglas county is to increase the monitoring frequency in recent years, even though the increase wasn't mandated yet.
"We did it so the change wouldn't be as drastic," Watson said, referring to the monitoring increase that will occur if Douglas county is included in Kansas City's air quality zone.
The reasons for potentially including Douglas county with Kansas City rest on a few factors. Watson said, including the daily commuter traffic that streams
into the metro area from all three counties under consideration.
"The KC metro area is always on the cusp of being a non-attainment area," said Daniels. "It bounces around a lot."
Douglas, Leavenworth and Miami counties might soon join it.
Following the governor's recommendation in April, the EPA will finalize and publish the national non-attainment zones. Local and state governments then have three years to suggest a plan of action that will keep them in compliance with EPA standards.

Join protest to change unjust law on sodomy
To go around talking about sodomy will leave few without cringed faces.
The current laws against sodomy are discriminatory to homosexuals. The Lawrence Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition is organizing a protest of the Kansas anti-sodomy law at 1 p.m. tomorrow on the south steps of the state Capitol. It is an unconstitutional law because it violates rights to privacy.
In a college atmosphere where talking about sexuality is normal and encouraged, sodomy is still a taboo. It is a vulgar word by definition: "any of various forms of sexual intercourse held to be unnatural or abnormal, especially anal intercourse or bestiality," according to The American Heritage Dictionary.
Public lewdness is one thing, but police entering couples' homes and busting them for being sexually intimate is ridiculous.
Consensual sodomy between consenting adults of the same sex is criminalized in four states. In one of the states, Texas, police entered the apartment of two homosexual men in 1998 because a neighbor falsely reported an armed intruder while the two men were having sex. Talk about blatant discrimination.
Ruth Harlow, who represented the men in Texas of the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, said states should not have the power to go into the bedrooms of two consenting adults and arrest them, and these laws were used to justify discrimination.
The state of Kansas doesn't have a law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, and has a criminal law prohibiting consensual sex between same-sex couples. That's basically saying it's not OK to be gay.
Forthose who are, it's better not to tell anyone about it or risk arrest for being who they are in private.
When it comes to consensual sex between two adults, it is a beautiful thing and they shouldn't be punished for it. Sex is definitely an issue at the University and college campuses around the country.
Sodomy may seem like a dirty word, but all it really means is unconventional sex.
Join WEAC to show the Legislature that we won't tolerate unjust laws.

In November, while giving presentations at Washburn University and at the University of Kansas about the history of Kansas' sodomy statutes, I met two women, both of whom work for the Topeka Police Department. Both of these women told me when they interviewed for their current jobs, they had to submit to a battery of questions while being attached to a polygraph machine. Each of these women — who do not know one other — was asked: "Have you ever committed sodomy with a member of the same sex?" How many of us would not have jobs if we had to submit to this question? What possible legitimate state interest is served by making criminals out of gay, lesbian and bisexual people who choose to engage in such activity in the privacy of their

GUEST COMMENTARY
Matt Fisher
Kansas is one of four states in the United States where oral and anal sex between consenting adults is illegal only between members of the same sex. The other states are Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. This law is blatantly discriminatory and unjustifiable from any reasonable standpoint. The criminalization of private, consenting adult sexual activity is an embarrassment to Kansas and
Two weeks ago, The University Daily Kansan featured a sex columnist who gave instructions on how to perform oral sex on a male. Oral sex between consenting adults in the privacy of their homes is illegal in the state of Kansas, but only between members of the same sex. Before 1969, oral and anal sex between consenting adults was illegal for everyone; however, it is now legal between members of the opposite sex.
Consensual oral and anal sex between members of the same sex is included in Kansas' definition of "criminal sodomy" and the penalty is a prison term of as much as six months and possibly a fine of as much as $1,000. In addition, if you are convicted of consensual sodomy with a member of the same sex, you can expect to lose your job and custody of your children. This is outrageous.
If it doesn't, it's up to those of us who object to this ridiculous, harmful law to ask our legislators to justify the legiti-
In 1986 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Bowers v. Hardwick that Georgia's same-sex only sodomy law was not a violation of the Constitution. Since then, Georgia has repealed its law; however, the Kansas courts and Legislature have reaffirmed the legitimacy of its sodomy law numerous times against legal challenges. Former Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, who in 1986 sided with the 5-4 majority opinion, said after he retired that he "probably made a mistake" voting with the majority on the decision.
own homes? The only answer I can offer to this question is that there is not any legitimate state interest; it is an expression of legislative bigotry and a justification for discriminatory treatment.
Next month, the Supreme Court has an opportunity to reverse its opinion on this issue. The highest court of the land has agreed to hear the case against Texas' same-sex only sodomy law, which will invalidate Kansas' law against consensual sodomy if the court decides that Texas' homosexual conduct law is unconstitutional.
macy of criminalizing private, consenting sexual activity between members of the same sex and to persuade the legislators to reconsider their position. We need to explain to our representatives how this law affects us in our daily lives.
The Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition at the University has organized a protest of Kansas' discriminatory sodomy laws. Lea Burgess Carland, a coalition member, and I are also working with a committee of Kansas state legislators and attorneys to introduce legislation to decriminalize private, consenting adult sexual activity for everyone if the Supreme Court does not invalidate Texas' sodomy law.
I urge you to write letters to the editors of newspapers in Kansas about this issue and to join us at the Capitol's south steps from 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday to make our voices heard. Speakers from local and national organizations will be there.
Together, we can send a message to our legislators that the time has come for Kansas to abandon another form of institutionalized discrimination and end its legislative bigotry.

Police recruits train to serve and protect
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Two new police officers are on their way to joining the ranks of the KU Public Safety Office.
Kelley Weiss/Kansan
PAPER
Sue Thompson, back, James Druen, left, and Cynthia Oatis, right, practice their first aid skills yesterday for an in-house workshop by the KU Public Safety Office. Thompson and Druen will leave on Monday for a training program at the police academy near Hutchinson.
James Druen and Sue Thompson will travel to the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center near Hutchinson on Monday for a 14-week training session before they can begin work on the streets at the University of Kansas.
Thompson and Druen have also been training at the Public Safety Office for six weeks and will undergo another week of training after they return.
"Every department has a different training schedule." said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office. "The academy gives a general overview, but our job is to tailor that overview to our department."
Part of the KU-specific training the office provides to its officers includes an introduction to people they are likely to encounter. Bailey said the officer trainees had met with people in the
department of student housing the parking department and Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Thompson said she appreciated the extra training the office provided before the sessions at the training center because she felt more prepared.
"From what I've heard, we're probably more prepared than 90 percent of the people at the academy," she said. "Having this before, we already have a heads-up."
At the training center, officer trainees have comprehensive general training, including defensive driving and how to react to confrontation or other situations in practical scenarios.
Full-time law enforcement officers in Kansas are required to have a minimum of 560 hours of basic training plus 40 hours of continuing education every year. The training center, a division of continuing education at the University, trains a majority of officers in Kansas, according to its Web site, www.kletc.org.
The process for becoming a full-fledged law enforcement officer in Kansas takes more than a year. After basic training, trainees undergo a 12-week program that allows them to work with another officer. Trainees are then put on a six-month probation period. Finally, after completion of the probation period, the trainees become titled police officers.
"We have to provide the best officer we can and that comes through training." Bailey said.
One of the most extensive areas of training is in studying laws. Officers had to be familiar with both state laws and municipal codes, Bailey said.
Some aspects of the training, like how to interact with people, are not taught through books or techniques but are gained through experience.
"Communication is the num ber one skill you need for this job," Druen said, "because that's what you do working with people."
Both Drumen and Thompson said they plan to stay with the Public Safety Office.
Druen, a recent graduate of Southwest Missouri State University, said he looked forward to working in a smaller, close-knit community and interacting with young people.
Thompson, who previously worked in real estate, said she was excited to do something different and didn't foresee any difficulties with her new job.
"I've felt very much at home
here." she said.
Bailey said he felt Thompson and Druen were doing well and learning quickly.
"Both seem extremely enthusiastic about law enforcement and are eager to get into their training," he said.

Conference teaches students to shape future

Two University of Kansas students will use skills they learned during winter break to organize a round-table interfaith conference.
Jennifer Donnally and Erin Larive; Lawrence sophomores, along with 61 other KU students, attended "Leading with Integrity" at the LeaderShape Institute, outside of Linwood in northeast Kansas, at the Tall Oaks Conference Center from Jan. 8 to 13.
The students worked from about 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. for five days, meeting in
groups, defining goals and doing group activities and ice-breakers, such as a trust fall, when one person falls from a ladder into others' arms.
"It was a phenomenal time," Matthew Schooonover, Olathe freshman, said. "We got a little tired at the end. We were tired, but it was the good kind of tired."
At the conference, Donnally and Larive began developing ideas for the interfaith conference. They wanted to join speakers representing Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam to discuss world issues. Their first meeting will be at 7 p.m., Feb.27 at the Walnut room
in the Kansas Union.
A predominantly KU faculty instructed the students. Groups from the University have participated in the national program for the last six years.
The conference's goal was to improve students' leadership abilities that would work in roles at any level: in a residence hall, fraternity, church, city or country.
Students worked in large and small groups to achieve and develop what they called visions. Visions are goals the students created to challenge themselves and others in their specific communities. The students looked at both the long and short term
requirements for these visions and how to best start them.
Larive's vision involved her church as her community. She wanted to develop a program to encourage middle school and high school students to express themselves and be comfortable with who they are.
"I've already talked to my youth pastor, and it looks like I'm going to be leading a large group this summer," Larive said.
Schoonover's vision involved educating children in the Olathe School District in sign language because the Kansas School for the Deaf is located in Olathe and the town has a large deaf community. He said he hoped all children in the Olathe School District would be fluent in sign language by the time they graduated elementary school. He has begun to contact various deaf and disabled associations, he said.
The Office of Organizations and Leadership chose 61 students to attend after receiving about 100 applications in November. Several departments, offices and organizations throughout the University sponsored the conference. Each student paid $50 to cover the remaining fees.

Reality shows provide distractions for students
Lance Meneley/Kansan

Ibristow@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Reality television programming like Survivor, The Bachelor, American Idol and Fear Factor draws the attention of many KU students.
It's 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Do you know where your roommate is?
Roommates Lisa Coulter, Norwich freshman, and Katie Means, Oskaloosa junior, are probably watching American Idol on Fox with about 10 of their closest friends on the sixth floor in Lewis Hall.
"We love watching some of the horrible people," Coulter said. "You just wonder why they even trv out."
This pair of roommates is just one of many who watches reality shows that showcase the lives of other real people.
Means said it was more fun to make fun of the bad people together.
Means makes a point to watch The Osbournes on MTV every week.
"They are just so funny," Means said. "It's so dysfunctional that they make my life seem so much more normal."
MTV's The Real World is credited with starting the reality television craze in 1992. Since then, other reality shows such as Survivor, Temptation Island, The Osbournes, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Joe Millionaire have been popping up on TV networks each season.
Kayla Snyder, Sabeth freshman, has been watching Survivor on CBS since its second season in 2001.
Snyder said the show looked interesting.
"It's amazing how they will manipulate each other to get
what they want," she said.
If Snyder has to miss the show, she tapes it and watches it as soon as she gets home, she said.
Before the new season of Survivor began, Snyder and her roommate, Stephanie Mendenhall, Omaha, Neb., freshman, watched Joe Millionaire on Fox.
"I don't usually watch stuff like that," Mendenhall said. "But Kayla just turned it on and I got into it. I think it's really a dumb show, but it entertains me."
Although Snyder usually watches only one reality show at a time each season, she will continue to watch Joe Millionaire on Monday nights even though Survivor began last night.
"I just can't miss Survivor," she said. "I won't go to bed until I watch it. I have to. I don't feel satisfied until I know what is going on."
ple who couldn't miss an episode of their favorite show.
"It's like they've been watching it for so long, they'd feel guilty if they missed one," she said.
At most, reality TV shows are fun distractions that people use to avoid other less pleasant activities, such as studying, said David Holmes, professor of psychology.
Means also said she knew peo-
Holmes said the shows might be interesting for some people, but that they were not psychologically or physiologically addicting.
Coulter said that if a friend asked her to watch a reality show, she usually would.
"I can have so much homework, but I'll go watch it anyway." Coulter said. "It's just fun to hang out, eat junk food and procrastinate from what I should be doing."
Alumnus passes away; loyal to University, area

Bob Billings, who as developer of the Alvamar community helped lead the development of thousands of acres in west Lawrence, died yesterday morning at his home after an illness. He was 65.
Billings, who was president of Alvamar Inc. at the time of his death, served many roles during his nearly 50 years in the Lawrence community.His
developments consisted of more than 3,000 acres of residential and commercial property. He received the KU Alumni Association's Fred Ellsworth Medallion in 1984 and the association's Distinguished Service Citation in 1988 for his community leadership
Fred B. Williams, president of the KU Alumni Association, said not to underestimate Billings' impact on the community and the University
"The Lawrence and Univer
sity communities would not be what they are today, ware it not for Bob Billings' commitment and leadership." Williams said.
Billings, a native of Russell, came to the University in 1955 and was student body president in 1957 to 1958. He served as director of KU Aids and Awards Office, now the Office of Student Financial Aid, from 1960 to 1970. He was also a guard on the KU basketball team. He graduated in 1959.

Residency

"You either have a terrible time getting it, or you have an easy time," Sparr said.
The registrar's office explained to him that he was not eligible because he still received a paycheck from a company in Colorado.
"They just told me straight up to not even try to apply," Kelly said.
Thomas Kelly, Denver senior, has owned a home in Lawrence for four years and is still not eligible for residency.
Not all students have to move to Kansas to get in-state tuition. Students from Missouri in certain programs, such as architecture or east Asian studies, can apply for reciprocity. Reciprocity allows students to remain residents of Missouri while receiving in-state tuition. Missouri has a
similar program for Kansas residents in certain subjects.
Kelly came to KU from Colorado to major in architectural engineering but can't apply for reciprocity like Missouri students can. Although he has been paying property taxes for his home, it does not qualify him for in-state tuition.
"I sure hope my property taxes don't fund KU," Kelly said.

affect dating guidelines. In the Muslim faith, a couple can't begin dating or enter a courtship until they are engaged, Mariam Papa, KU Muslim Women president and Leawood sophomore, said.
"Once you get engaged you can start talking on the phone and meeting each other," Papa said. "Nothing is consummated until marriage."

If someone is interested in learning more about faith-based dating, Luke Bauer, former president of the Christian
Leawood sophomore
organization Navigators and Lawrence senior, recommends the book "Choosing God's Best" by Don Raunikar.
This book examines the intricacies of courtships and courting.
According to the author's Web site, www.wisewords.com, a Web site for Christian singles, courtships grow out of friendships that transition into marriage preparation through thought and
prayer.
Students who emphasize faith also try to maintain normal dating activities.
Not every religious couple spends their nights praying together. These couples don't see that much difference between their relationships and others.
"We go to see shows at The Bottleneck. We go out to eat on Mass," Jon Crawford, Tulsa, Okla., junior said of his relationship. "The main difference is it doesn't wind up with steamy passionate sex afterwards."

Softball team hits the road plays tourney in San Diego
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
For the next two weeks, the Kansas softball team will see a lot of California and its teams while trying to continue one of its best starts ever.
The Jayhawks will start play today in the Campbell/Cartier Tournament in San Diego, when they take on Sacramento State at 5:30 p.m. The game was originally scheduled for noon, but rain in San Diego has postponed action. The Jayhawks' schedule game against UC-Santa Barbara on Saturday has been canceled.

State, 5:30 p.m.
Saturday:
San Diego State,
12:30 p.m.
Fresno State,

Sunday:
Cal State-
Northridge,
9 a.m.
So far, Kansas' season could be described as a dream. The team left the Triple Crown Invitational in St. Augustine, Fla., last weekend with a 4-0 record. After rain canceled the final day of play on Sunday, the Jayhawks were handed a second place finish based on the total number of runs scored. Four Kansas players were named to the all-tournament team, and Sylvia Pfeiffer won offensive MVP and Kara Pierce defensive MVP.
In fact, all four opposing teams that Kansas will play are from California.
With the revised schedule, Kansas will now play San Diego State at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow followed with a contest with Fresno State at 2:30 p.m. The Jayhawks will cap off the tourney with against Cal State-Northridge at 9 a.m. on Sunday.
Sacramento State (4-3) has been a roll as of late, putting up a 4-1 record at the Cal-Poly Mustang Roundup in San Luis Obispo, Calif. If the 'Hawks hope to avoid getting stung by the Hornets' play, they will have to shut down centerfielder Lindy Winkler, who leads the team in batting average .462), hits (12) and stolen bases (3).
The Aztecs of San Diego State (2-3) recently went 1-2 in a three-game series against Cal State-Northridge.
Meanwhile, Fresno State's 1-4 mark may be deceiving. Three of those defeats came at the hands of ranked opponents, all Big 12 teams — Nebraska, Texas A&M and Texas.
After dropping two of three in the Stacy Winsberg Memorial Tournament in Los Angeles, Cal State-Northridge (3- 3) leveled out its record after recording two victories against San Diego State last weekend.
The Jajhawks will continue their tour of the Golden State the following week when they travel up the coast and compete from Feb. 21-23 in the Softball by the Beach Tournament, hosted by UC-Santa Barbara.

In the midst the celebration and ceremonies, there is a basketball game to be played as the Iowa State Cyclones (12-8 overall, 2-7 Big 12 Conference) will make a trip to Lawrence to face Kansas (18-5, 8-1) at noon on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks enter the game tied with Oklahoma State for the top spot in the Big 12 Conference with 8-1 conference records. Texas and Oklahoma loom only a game behind in the race for the conference crown.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said Monday that the second half of the conference schedule will separate the teams as this is one of the closest races in Big 12 history.
"That's where it's won or lost and that's what is going to happen as we go down the home stretch."
"A lot of times in years past, there's been one team that has separated themselves," Williams said. "And right now, no one has separated themselves."
The Cyclones and Jayhawks met earlier this season with the Jayhawks beating the Cyclones on 83-54 on 6. in Ames.

Kansas (9-12 overall, 2-8 Big 12) is looking to halt a three-game losing streak against its most bitter rival Missouri (12-9, 6-4) at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse. Coach Marian Washington said the benefit of having a week to prepare would be apparent when her team hits the floor.
"It has come at a really good time," Washington said. "We have been changing our practice schedule around and going pretty early at 5:30 or 6 in the morning, trying to give them the rest of the day to rest up a little bit."

Bohl's past calls for inspection
Is it possible to make a $255,000 mis-
take?
In June 2001, Bob Frederick, Kansas athletics director, resigned and the University of Kansas Jured Al Bohl from Fresno State to fill the position. The University signed Bohl to a $255,000, five-year contract.
After Bohl accepted the position, he was linked to questionable financial transactions at Fresno State. The new allegations range from basketball players receiving money from agents to paying a former Fresno State statistician to write players' course work — both during Bohl's tenure.
The NCAA is expected to investigate the allegations, but even before that time arrives, Kansas had better take notice.
In yesterday's Topeka Capital-Journal, Hemenway addressed the issue.
"I've heard people express concern that maybe there were conflicts in the athletic department," Hemenway said. "I think athletic departments are very much in the public eye and, as a consequence, they get a lot of scrutiny ... I don't know whether things are being blown out of proportion or if there are some serious things that need to be attended to."
The man who hired Bohl, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, needs to make sure this situation does not get out of hand.
Guess what?
This situation does need attending, and Hemenway should take a close look at the possible negative implications of keeping Bohl around.
The respectability of the University is at stake and could be tarnished by one man. If the allegations against Bohl and Fresno State are true, Bohl should be fired.
In his second year at Kansas, Bohl has tried to make strides in resurrecting the football program. After Bohl fired Terry Allen with three games left in the season, Mark Mangino became the man who would supposedly rebuild the program.
The decision to fire Allen was questionable and started a rocky relationship with men's basketball coach Roy Williams. Williams had a close relationship with Allen, and, at a 2001 press conference, Williams said he was "disappointed and sad" about the decision to fire Allen.
Williams is one of the most important figures in Lawrence. Keeping him happy is a must for the University.
More reports came out yesterday, accusing Bohl of creating a salesmanlike persona around the campus. This personality flaw seems to be affecting his status with media and coaches alike, which could create future problems.

The Jayhawks will travel this weekend to Baton Rouge, La., to take on the Louisiana State Tigers, who are ranked eighth in Baseball America's poll.
Sophomores Blake Gill and J.C. Holt lead LSU (4-0 season). Both have batted better than .400 in the team's first four games of the season.
Kansas comes into the series with the Tigers after defeating the Western Illinois
Leathernecks to improve its record to 6-3. The Jayhawks will send senior Kevin Wheeler to the mound to pitch the first game of the three-game series. He will be followed by juniors Josh Duran and Ryan Knipschild.
"We are going to play what might be the best offensive ball club in the nation this weekend," coach Ritch Price said. "We are going to need solid contributions from all of our pitchers, including our bullpen."
Pitchers who are expected to see some time out of the bullpen are juniors Chris Smart and Brandon Johnson and freshman Eric Peterson. Johnson is coming off a solid performance against the University of Arkansas-Little Rock in which he pitched six scoreless
"Being from Nebraska, I used to always watch LSU in the College World Series," Wheeler said. "They always had great fans there, and I am sure this weekend it will be crazy too. I am excited to see where we are at though, I feel like if we can play with these guys than we can really compete with the tougher teams in our conference."
innings.
Not only will Kansas have to deal with the talent of the Tigers, it will also have to deal with LSU's 8,000 fans.
Price said there were many things he wanted his team to work on this weekend while playing against one of the nation's best teams.
Price pointed out Kansas would have to work on the number of walks issued and said he hoped that the Jayhawks could throw more strikes and get ahead of the batters.
"I hope we can grow and mature a lot
this weekend," Price said. "In our conference there are five teams that are in the top 25, so we need to know that we can go on the road and win a big game."
Price also hopes he can continue to get contributions from the outfielders, who all are seniors.
"We are going to need the middle of our lineup to provide some power this weekend," Price said. "This should be fun for us, LSU is without a doubt one of the premier places to play in America."

'Hawks need to end slump at curved line
The Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team has a weakness. It has hurt the team so far this season, it has hurt it in the past, and if things don't change in a hurry, it could cost the team dearly.
This weakness isn't a person, as in the injured Wayne Simien, nor is it the lack of support, as in the razor-thin Jayhawk bench. No, this weakness is a seemingly harmless, but deadly curved line. The three-point line to be more specific.
Kansas is second to last in the Big 12 Conference in three-point defense this year and has flip-flopped with Iowa State for last place in the conference all season.
There are probably some out-of-state freshmen who are reading this and are saying so what? But those who grew up in the state of Kansas, bleed Crimson and Blue and have a long and painful memory might understand the gravity of this statistic. They don't need a reminder of Kentucky in '99, Rhode Island in '98 or Arizona in '97 Just ask their therapists.
Well, let's look at some of the Kansas losses so far this year and the job they did defending the three-point line.
Not scared yet?
Florida relied almost solely on threepointers, hitting 45 percent from the arc. Arizona shot a blistering 41 percent, with Salim Stoudamire burying open threes, smoking the jayhawks in the second half. Oregon made an incredible 50 percent of its long balls and even the poor-shooting Colorado team hit big threes down the stretch. Texas shot 44 percent from three-point land in its loss to Kansas, and if it weren't for Nick Collison and his monster game, those threes would have been the difference.
If you weren't scared before these numbers, there's a good chance you need to change your underwear now.
There's no need to panic just yet, though. Kansas has a good defense, one of the best in the Big 12 and guarding the three-point line is a simple matter of extending its defense. Often times, the Jayhawks get bunched up inside and simply need to spread the defense out to the arc, especially after missed shot. Do this and a large part of the problem is fixed.
The bottom line: If Kansas doesn't guard the three-point shot come tournament time, Roy Williams could be spending another late March on the golf course, wondering what went wrong.
Judging by the unprecedented balance of talent that will make up the NCAA basketball tournament this year, anybody can pull the upset.
Female golfer readies to tee off as first woman to play in PGA
Zollars is a Chicago senior majoring in communications.
The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Annika Sorenstam is the best player in women's golf, often drawing comparisons to Tiger Woods because of her dominance on the LPGA Tour.
Sorenstam's 21 tour victories the past two years are more than anyone. Woods included. She's a five-time LPGA player of the year and has four majors among her 42 LPGA wins.
So what does Sorenstam have to gain by playing against the men on the PGA Tour?
"The answer is simple: I am curious to see if I can compete in a PGA Tour event," she said Wednesday after accepting an invitation to play in the Colonial in

Mav.
Sorenstam, who would be the first woman in 58 years to play on the PGA Tour, just wants to find how she would stack up against stronger players on tougher courses.
"I just think she wants to find out how good she really is, and if the gap between women's golf and men's golf is that great — or not great at all," Woods said.
There's not much else for Sorenstam to prove on the LPGA.
The 32-year-old Swede shattered the tour's scoring record (68.7) while winning 11 tournaments last year and finishing in the top 10 in 20 of 23 events.She also won two other tournaments worldwide.In 2001, she became the first
woman to shoot 59 and earn more than $2 million in one season.
LPGA Tour commissioner Ty Votaw said Sorenstam's performance should not be viewed solely as a competition against the men.
against the men.
"This is Annika vs. Annika," Votaw said.
"It's about Annika challenging herself and breaking down barriers, never stopping in her quest to improve and test her abilities."
Sorenstam hand-picked Colonial, a course that does not require as much power off the tee. The par-70 layout plays to 7,080 yards and puts a premium on accuracy, Sorenstam's forte.
Woods did not want to guess how Sorenstam would do, saying it will depend on the weather and how the course is set up.

Mark Zillman and Sennett Rockers invite you to listen in as they call Sunday's men's game against the Iowa State Cyclones live from the Fieldhouse.
The Kansas women's basketball team will need key contributions from its starting five in order to pull off a victory over border rival Missouri.
Women's basketball
Sophomore Aquanita Burras is the Jayhawks' leading scorer and will have to give the team much needed scoring with outside jumpers. Kansas will look inside to low post players, freshman Tamara Rensburg and freshman Crystal Kemp to establish scoring from the inside.
The freshman tandem is going to have its work cut out trying to stop junior forward Evan Unrau, who averages 15.7 points per game.
Missouri is reeling with two straight conference victories and hopes to improve on its 6-4 conference record. The Tigers are 2-3 in Big 12 away games.
Kansas is struggling with three consecutive defeats in the Big 12 after being outscored 246-146 in those games. Scoring is a must in order to lift the Jayhawks to a victory over Missouri.
Jonah Ballow, KJHK
For Kansas to win, it has to shut down a potent outside attack by the Mizzou guards. Evan Unrau, Kerensa Barr and Tracy Lozier are all capable of nailing big three pointers in the clutch.
If the Tigers want to win, they have to deal with an inside tandem that could become one of the best in the Big 12. Tamara Ransburg averages 9.9 points per game and 7.4 rebounds, and Crystal Kemp averages 11 points per game and 6 rebounds per game.
Much like the men's team, Kansas will have to be patient and work the ball inside while not trying to match Missouri shot for shot.
If Kansas can sustain the kind of first half it played against Oklahoma for a whole game, don't be surprised if the Jayhawks bring home a border war victory.

Men's basketball
Excluding Baylor, no team has been more disappointing this year than Iowa State.
Coach Larry Eustachy's gamble with four junior college players, including Tim Barnes and Jackson Vroman, has had mixed results.
Barnes is averaging a respectable nine points per game. However, he scored more than 19 points a game in junior college ball. Vroman gives the Cyclones some size but lacks quickness.

39 percent from the beyond the arc, and Jake Sullivan is knocking them down at a sizzling 46 percent clip. He is the only hope for a Cyclone team that is simply out-manned.
Mark Zillman, KJHK
The best and the nearly worst of the Big 12 will meet Sunday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas is tied with Oklahoma State at the top of the conference while Iowa State has had only two Big 12 victories.
The Cyclones must stop Kansas inside. Nick Collison is far and away the best post player in this game, and he should have his way with Iowa State forward Jackson Vroman and forward/center Chris Alexander.
Plenty of points will be put on the scoreboard. The game features three of the top five scorers in the Big 12 in Collison and guard Kirk Hinrich of Kansas and Iowa State guard Jake Sullivan. Each of those three could easily score 20 points. Sullivan, however, has no supporting cast, and Kansas will come up with the easy victory.

Team races with top U.S. runners
By Chris Wintering
cwintering@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's and women's track and field team will compete in the Tyson Foods Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. today and tomorrow.
The meet will be a homecoming for Kansas coach Stanley Redwine, who ran at the University of Arkansas from 1980-1983 and was an assistant coach for the Razorbacks for 11 years. He is a member of the University of Arkansas Hall of Honor.
"It's always great for me to go back to University of Arkansas, but it has been so long ago now
that none of the kids on the team know anything about it," Redwine said.
Redwine said his team was not worried about a homecoming because it was focused on the meet.
Today's section of the meet will be made up of 27 universities and colleges, including Big 12 Conference schools Baylor, Oklahoma State and Texas. Tomorrow's section will be a mix of collegiate athletes and professional athletes who are traveling on the USA Track & Field Indoor Golden Spike Tour.
According to the USA Track & Field Web site, the Golden Spike Tour is in its fourth year and provides America's best athletes the opportunity to compete in the United States. The site also said that the professional athletes on the tour earned a substantial amount of prize money in front of a nationally televised audience. Portions of the meet will be televised Sunday from 8-9 p.m. on ESPN2.
Redwine said that it would probably be a last-minute decision and that Kansas athletes would run on Saturday depending on how they felt.
"There will be a select number of KU athletes that will compete on Saturday," Redwine said. "It is unclear right now who those athletes will be."
Because of the size of the meet, today's section will run all day. The field events and running events start at 10:30 a.m., and the last event, the 4x400-meter relay, is not scheduled until 10:10 p.m.
Tomorrow's meet will be shorter than today's because it is an Olympic preparation event. Tomorrow's events begin at 5:00 p.m. with the men's 5,000-meter run and end with the men's 60-meter dash finals.
Because of the size of the meet, the results will only be posted on the Arkansas women's athletics Web site, www.ladybacks.com.

The No. 47-ranked Kansas tennis team will try to extend its undefeated 2-0 record this weekend at the Wood Valley Racquet Club in Topeka.
Before facing Utah at 1 p.m.
Sunday, the team begins conference
play against 12th-ranked
Texas at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
"We are very excited to play this match," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "We feel we have a better chance than we have ever had to beat Texas."
The Longhorns are coming off a defeat against the University of Miami and will try to defeat the Jayhawks for the second consecutive year. Kansas has never beaten Texas and lost last season to Texas in a 4-3 bat
te with the Jayhawk losing the decisive doubles point.
Waterman said the indoor courts would benefit the team in its first Big 12 match-up of the season because Texas is not used to playing indoors.
Texas has only two seniors. The rest of the team is made up of freshmen and sophomores.
The Jayhawks will have little time to rest as they face the Utah Utes on Sunday. Utah is 2-2 on the season and was recently defeated by Brigham Young University, a team Kansas beat for its first victory of the season last year.
"These will be pretty tough matches for us," junior Emily Haylock said. "We all believe we can pull the upset against Texas."
Top high school pick wows Arizona guard
Edited by Ryan Wood
By Maxx Wolfson
Arizona Daily Wildcat (U. Arizona)
via U-Wire
TUCSON, Ariz. — When Hassan Adams saw what LeBron James did to his old high school on Saturday, he wasn't surprised one bit.
James, who is considered the best high school player in the nation and the consensus No. 1 pick in the next NBA draft, scored 52 points for Akron, Ohio's St. Vincent-St. Mary against Adams' old team, Los Angeles' Westchester High School, at a tournament in Trenton, N.J.
come and play. And he did."
"That was scary, and I knew it was going to come," said Adams, a freshman guard for Arizona. "He was fired up because everyone was on him. The press was on him about him taking this and that. I knew it was hurting him and his family, and I knew he was going to
There is no telling if James could have dropped 52 points if Adams was playing, but either way, it was still quite a game for the 18-year-old who is expected to make millions in a couple months.
"It doesn't bother me, but it's crazy," said Adams about James eventually jumping to the pros. "He's just blessed. He's out there doing what he loves to do. He is out there having fun, and I'm just happy for him."
Adams, who is six months older than James, met him at Michael Jordan Camp over the summer and was impressed with the prep-phenom then.
Adams, before signing with Arizona, was also considered one of the top recruits in the nation. At Westchester, Adams was named Mr. Basketball in California and was also picked for the McDonald's All-American team.
Football tradition to remain in Dallas
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Texas and Oklahoma have agreed to keep their annual football game in the Cotton Bowl—for now.
And, as long as the stadium operator is able to make progress to add more seats and make other improvements, both schools said yesterday that they would have no reason to move the game. The Red River Shootout has been played on the grounds of the State Fair of Texas since 1929.
"Our main objective has been to create more opportunities for fans to see the game and make the game a more enjoyable experience," Oklahoma Athletic Director Joe Castiglione said.
The latest deadline for the schools to opt out of the contract that keeps the game in Dallas was yesterday. The schools instead agreed to amend the existing contract with the State Fair of Texas, which operates the 72,000-seat Cotton Bowl.
The existing contract goes through 2006, but under amendments made yesterday, the schools said they would have a yearly opportunity to cancel or make changes to that agreement.
State Fair officials agreed yesterday to explore temporary seating options for the short term. The agreement also calls for them to work with the city of Dallas toward a long-term plan to add 6,000-10,000 permanent seats and 16 suites that would hold at least 15 people each.
"We are pleased that they were open to conversation and willing to make some adjustments to our agreement," said Texas Athletics Director DeLoss Dodds. "Our No.1 priority in the conversations was to provide more seats for our fans."
The game has been a sellout since 1941, the neutral site being less than a four-hour drive from both campuses. The stands are always a 50-50 split of burnt orange and crimson.
The option deadline initially was Dec. 31, but was extended. The delay and ongoing talks had led to speculation about the game moving, said State Fair representative Nancy Wiley.
"That's what's prompted all the talk, not that anybody's unhappy or looking to get out," she said.
Wiley said another focus of the talks was to help the schools increase revenue from the game. She said Cotton Bowl officials are trying to help by defraying costs such as stadium rental, lodging and travel.
The stadium rental fee, which was $94,600 last year and is split equally by both schools, has been waived for the remaining years of the contract.
In addition to waiving the stadium rental fee, the agreement calls for the State Fair to initiate the development of underwriters to provide $150,000 to the schools to underwrite expense related to the game.
Oklahoma President David Boren suggested to his UT counterpart that the game be rotated each year between the schools. UT President Larry Faulkner and Dallas city officials have said they wanted the game to remain in Dallas.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 14).
Today's birthday is 10-10.
You have a big job this year, but you're up to the task. You're smart, imaginative; strong and analytical. Add compassionate and thrift to that, and you're unbeatable. But by the time you've added those qualities, winning won't be your only objective.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Postpone your big date until the weekend. There'll be less interference from work. Friends may still try to lure you out, but you can resist them.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Choose staying home over going out if you feel you're just not up to leaving the house. Even an important person you're trying to impress will understand if you need the rest.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6.
Your patience is being tested, and this could be rough, since you didn't have much patience to begin with. Hold onto your money so at least you'll have that.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
Others look to you for comfort in times of confusion or stress. No need to rehearse for this part. You provide what they need naturally.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Give yourself time to consider your options. Think things over. No need to be impetuous, even under pressure. That's one of the secrets of your success.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
it sure would be easier to do your job well if your home environment were more tranquil. Luckily, you have friends who understand and a loved one who makes it all worthwhile.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 7.
You're known as a peacemaker, but you've also been known to instigate change when conditions just aren't fair. A little of that may be necessary
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
The more you learn, the more you
appreciate what you already knew.
Trust your instincts, and acknowledge that you're smarter than you thought you were.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
This ought to be a pretty good day to go shopping. You'll take more time that you normally would to be thrifty and seek out the best deals.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
Don't go throwing your money around, even for a romantic reason. Well, maybe just a little of it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7.
If you focus on what the others need, your workday will go by quickly. You may not be able to provide it all, but every little bit counts.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
Continue to spend as much time as you can with loved ones, close family and friends. This weekend will be more about work, so get your cudling in now.

KANSAS VS. MISSOURI
The Missouri women's basketball team will bring one of the hottest hands in the Big 12 Conference into Allen Fieldhouse when it takes on Kansas in Lawrence tomorrow at 1 p.m.
KANSAS(9-11)
Evan Unrau put up 26 points in the Tigers' 70-57 victory over Iowa State on Wednesday night, topping the 23 points she scored against Nebraska in the previous game. The junior forward is averaging 15.7 points per game for the Tigers and has had 20 points or more in five of Missouri's last ten games.
For Unrau, who hit 10-of-15 field goals against the Cyclones, the key to her success has been recognizing her opponent's weaknesses.

that time." Unrau said. "Sometimes I'm up against a smaller player so I like to fill the gaps."
Unrau wasn't the only Missouri player who had success against Iowa State—four Tigers scored in double figures against the Cyclones.
After consecutive lopsided defeats, coach Marian Washington was glad her team had a week off to prepare for Missouri.
"We have been changing our practice schedule around and
going early, trying to give them the rest of the day to rest up a little bit." Washington said.
Washington said her team could use the rest to get ready for a Tiger team that has been playing well lately.
"Preparing for Missouri is not going to be easy," Washington said. "They are very physical, they really play hard, and they have good size. I think they are a pretty solid ball club."

Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras questions a call made by an official. Burras is averaging a team-high 11.1 points per game for the Jayhawks, who will look for their third Big 12 victory of the season against the Tigers tomorrow.
KANSAS VS.IOWASTATE
Iowa. The 29-point defeat is the worst for Iowa State in the Hilton Coliseum's history.
Although the Jayhawks have since lost games on the road to Colorado and at home to Arizona, Williams said he was pleased with the team's play as March nears.
In that January matchup, both team's conference opener, Jayhawk senior Nick Collinson scored 31 points as the Jayhawks limited the Cyclones to 36.7 percent shooting from the floor to go along with 20 turnovers.

"We're sharing the basketball better, making better decisions on our shot selection,"Williams said. "We still have the problems of depth, and in particular, depth with size up front."

Kansas' depth problem might be solved Sunday as injured forward Wayne Simien has hinted he might return to the court against the Cyclones.
"Yeah, yeah it's not my call," Simien said. "It's the big guy. If I had my way it's my last coaching job of the year."
His replacement, Jeff Graves, has held the starting spot since Simien suffered a shoulder injury Jan. 4 in the University of Missouri-Kansas City matchup, and has had trouble staying out
of foul trouble. Graves has fouled out of four games, including Tuesday night's victory over Baylor in Waco, Texas.
The Cyclones are led by senior sharp shooter Jake Sullivan and 6-10 workhorse Jackson Vroman who have combined to form a productive inside-out duo under the tutelage of Larry Eustachy.
Former Kansas big man Raet LaFrentz will be honored at half-time of Sunday's game by having his No. 45 jersey retired to the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse.
LaFrentz played on four conference championship teams from 1995-98 and earned All-American honors.
LaFrentz is currently a starter for the Dallas Mavericks, who hold the best record in the NBA at 38-12.
Along with LaFrentz's jersey retirement ceremony, more than 100 former players and coaches are expected to attend Sunday's game.
Williams, who has invited back former players and coaches on three other occasions during his Kansas coaching career, said the current Jayhawk squad will benefit from the experience.
"Our players will get a chance to meet some of the guys coming and learn what it means to play Kansas basketball." Williams said.
The position of athletics director is important and extremely difficult. Bohl is expected to maintain a high profile, keep coaches happy, promote all athletic programs and ultimately create a great sports atmosphere for students. It is hard to evaluate Bohl after only two years at the University.

However, the Kansas athletics department cannot fall under corruption. If the rumors prove true, Bohl's past at Fresno State will quickly catch up with him at Kansas.

The combination of the allegations at Fresno State and poor relationships at Kansas gives Hemenway the opportunity to seriously evaluate his $255,000 man.
Ballow is a Littleton, Cole., junior in journalism.
0-for-6 from the field last Saturday and was scoreless in 17 minutes of play.
Freshman guard Erica Hallman has picked up the slack while Waltz has been hurt, including 11 points in the defeat to Texas. Hallman will start tomorrow in Waltz's place.
Kansas' last two defeats have not been as close as some defeats earlier this season. The biggest reason is because the Jayhawks have combined for only 29 points in the first half of their last two contests, both losses at Colorado and Texas. Not only will scoring early be a key for Kansas, but playing solid defense will be as well.
"Defense is going to be the key to every game we have left," Washington said. "I have been very disappointed in our defensive effort. We are certainly going to improve, but where we are right now, we have allowed teams to score too many points."
Offensively, Kansas needs freshman forwards Crystal Kemp and Tamara Ransburg to be more of a presence inside than they were in their last game.
The duo, which combines for an average of 20.9 points per game, scored a total of only eight in the defeat to Texas. As well as scoring more underneath, Kansas needs to stop opposing inside threats.
"They have a solid inside-outside game, and they like to do that." Washington said of the Tigers. "This is a game where I think if we have a good start and good defensive transition, I think we can be in the ball game. In the paint, we have given up too many points."

Protest targets state sodomy laws
John Nowak/Kansan
STOP THE FURRY HAIR!
Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition radical cheerleaders perform in front of the Capitol in Topeka during Saturday's protest against sodomy laws. About 60 people braved freezing temperatures and traveled to the Capitol to speak out against Kansas' oral and anal sex laws, which many say are discriminatory against homosexuals.

It was five degrees below freezing Saturday afternoon, but protesters outside the Capitol in Topeka still managed to hold their rainbow flags high.
About 60 people attended the protest against sodomy laws, which was organized by the University of Kansas' Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition.
"We must fight together to ensure everyone has the right to decide what to do with their bodies, when and with whom," said Lea Carland, Lawrence junior and WEAC member, in her opening statement.
The protesters focused on Kansas' sodomy law, which criminalizes consensual sex between members of the same sex.
"We must fight together to ensure everyone has the right to decide what to do with their bodies,when and with whom."
Lea Carland Lawrence junior
"It's very primitive that our state holds onto this law," said Jessica Craig, Topeka sophomore and WEAC member.
Kansas is one of four states that still has sodomy laws on the books, said Christine Robinson, a Lawrence activist who recently received her doctorate in sociology. The other states are Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.
"Is this what our constitution means by equal protection under the law?" Robinson asked the crowd Saturday.
"No — this is an expression of legislative bigotry."
Robinson also addressed the problem with the state's "Romeo and Juliet" law, which gives homosexual teens harsher prison sentences than heterosexual teens who engage in identical consensual sex acts.
WEAC members, each wearing a shirt that read "Sodomite," participated in a pep rally during the protest. One cheer proclaimed, "You run your body; let me run mine." Cook said radical cheerleading was an alternative way to express political ideas.
"It plays on how we see cheerleaders who don't have an intellectual or invigorating message," Cook said. "It's fun, and it made people stop thinking about how cold it was."
Cook said she couldn't feel her toes by

As a war with Iraq seems to loom closer, students at the University of Kansas have found their lives both affected and altered.
Some students have family in the military preparing to go overseas, others have family returning after spending years or months preparing for the possible war, while some students must consider taking part in the military action themselves.

"We're also very proud that he's able to do this and stand up for the country," Archambault said.
"We don't get to see my dad on a day-to-day basis, and there's always that possibility we won't see him again," she said.

Rugby team stages 'man auction'
Members raise $1,600, pledge to fulfill whims of the buyer's' demands
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Will Lenz was the last rugby player to take the stage for the "man auction" Saturday night and ended up selling for $105.
Kansas Jayhawks Rugby Football Club members decided selling themselves in an auction would be a great way to raise money for the team, said Lenz, Gurnee, Ill., senior.
The rugby team had been planning the auction for two months. Twenty-five players participated in the event Saturday night at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.
The players took the stage clad in a variety of outfits, including a ballerina costume and seatless cowboy chaps.
Other players didn't waste any time taking off their clothing. Matt Lechtenberg, Lawrence senior, was quickly left wearing only a short pair of blue shorts.
Arrie Boden, 2000 graduate from Salina, said she would have fun making her player clean and cook for her.
"I'm going to make him fix oysters — a natural aphrodisiac — and go all out," Boden said. "I want a salad, main course and the dessert has to have whipped cream involved."
The women who bought the rugby players will have a three-hour window to assign jobs to the players. Matt Kenney, Kansas City, Mo., senior and rugby team member, helped to organize this year's event. He said the players had to garden, cook, clean, empty gutters, massage feet and go out to dinner with the women who bought them.
Elizabeth Duroche, Olathe senior, said the auction helped the team get money that the University didn't provide.

Lawrence joins other Kansas towns in protests
In large and small rallies, Kansans on Saturday joined a global day of protest against a possible war with Iraq.
More than 1,000 people marched in freezing weather in Lawrence, many carrying signs such as "Drop Bush, Not Bombs" and "War is just stupid."
Well over a million people attended similar protests in cities across the country and around the world.
Lawrence police said they didn't take any special precautions for the
event, which began with a walk through downtown Lawrence and ended with a rally.
In Newton, about 400 people marched from Bethel College to the Harvey County Courthouse, praying speaking and singing for peace, The Wichita Eagle reported on its Web site.

NATO breaks stalemate on U.S. push for defensive action
BRUSSELS, Belgium — NATO, mired in its biggest rift since the Cold War, broke a monthlong stalemate yesterday over defensive actions in case of war in Iraq, reaffirming alliance solidarity while supporting U.N. efforts for a peaceful solution to the crisis with Baghdad.
The decision to start planning for Turkey's defense, however, was taken without France, which was shut out of the room as the alliance pushed to resolve the crisis.
With France out of the way, the two other holdouts, Germany and Belgium, dropped their objections.
For a month, France, Germany and Belgium, had blocked a NATO decision to begin planning to help fortify Turkey the only NATO ally bordering Iraq against any potential reprisals. They argued such a move was premature and would undermine U.N. efforts to avoid a war.

Art show unveils graduate works to public,critics

Graduate students in the art and design department will display their work until Friday at the Art and Design Gallery.
The exhibit will display the most recent work of first-, second- and third-year graduate students. Featured work includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, printmaking, metals and new genres.
For some of the about 20 graduate students featured in the show, this will be their first experience displaying their artwork.
Callie Parrott Bower, first-year graduate student from Lawrence, has displayed her work in other venues before but never in a gallery.
"It can be nerve-racking," she said. "Someone might put a different meaning on it than you intended."
Bower said most negative reactions came because the viewer misunderstood the piece, but an artist couldn't worry about that while creating it.
"It's kind of like having a child that you must let go for the first time," she said. "You have to trust that it can exist on its own."
Bower has received negative criticism before and said the worst critique was when a professor had told her "that is one hell of an ugly painting."
Anthony Pontius, Indianapolis second-year graduate student,
"It's kind of like having a child that you must let go for the first time. You have to trust that it can exist on its own."
Callie Parrott Bower Lawrence graduate student
said criticism was something an artist needed in order to learn.
"You don't grow from being comfortable," he said. "Criticism just makes you raise the bar."
Pontius said his worst critique was when someone said they had looked at his artwork for 15 seconds and had forgotten it for the rest of their life.
"It's actually encouraging." he said. "It makes me want to prove them wrong."
Bower said part of being an artist was learning how to deal with criticism.
"It so subjective," she said. "What one person loves, the next person hates. It's a kind of no-win situation."
The gallery is on the third floor of the Art and Design Building, at the northeast corner of 15th Street and Naismith Drive. The gallery is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Monday through Wednesday; 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday; 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m.
to 4:30 p.m. Sunday. The show is free and open to the public.

Quiet, smooth melodies mixed with loud, vibrant notes entertained crowds of almost 300 people at the Lied Center as part of the 26th annual KU Jazz Festival.
The two-day event on Friday and Saturday was composed of two different elements. During the day, jazz clinicians listened to jazz combos and ensembles from more than 20 elementary schools, high schools and colleges. After each group's performance, a clinician worked with the students on areas that needed improvement.

Each night, a formal concert was held featuring KU students and internationally known jazz musicians.
Friday evening's performance included music by the KU Jazz Combo I and the Greg Osby Four. A jazz combo features between four and eight musicians centered around a piano, bass, drums and a horn, Gailey said. KU Jazz Combo I is one of eight small ensembles at the University.
"The festival is mainly about educational outreach," said Dan Gailey, director of jazz studies at the University. "For students to be able to perform with well-known artists and get the pro's perspective, it's invaluable."

Dr. Darryl White, assistant professor of trumpet at the University of Nebraska School of Music, performs at the Lied Center on Saturday evening. White was a guest soloist at the 26th annual KU Jazz Festival.
Saturday evening's performance featured the University of Nebraska Jazz Ensemble I as well as Conrad Herwig with the KU Jazz Ensemble I. Herwig is internationally known and arguably the greatest living jazz trombonist, Gailey said.
"Conrad was absolutely amazing," said Josh Ney, Bonner Springs freshman. "Listening to his music is not only breathtaking because of his mastery of the instrument, but it also makes me feel good."
During Saturday night's performance, the Dick Wright Jazz Award was presented to Josh Adams, the KU Jazz Ensemble I's drummer.
"I had no idea I was going to get the award," said Adams, Prairie Village junior. "I am extremely honored to win this."
The $450 award is presented each year to an outstanding KU student participating in jazz studies and jazz courses at the University. Wright was an associate professor in music history at KU
between 1977 and 1999 and the host of KANU-FM's The Jazz Scene for 42 years.
Each semester, the department of music and dance holds auditions for the jazz combos and ensembles.
"Students are placed where they fit best," Gailey said. "The level I ensembles and combos have the top level players."
Students try out each semester, practice three days a week with the group and can earn up to one
credit hour for their participation.
Because of scheduling con flicts with the Lied Center, the festival was earlier in the semester than normal this year, Gailey said.
This weekend's performance was the first for the KU musicians. The groups had less than a month to prepare for the performances, said Lindsey Burch, Overland Park senior and member of KU's Jazz Ensemble II.

Students to uphold America's Promise
By Erin Ohm
A speech Friday challenged campus groups to tailor their community service programs to serve youth.
About 20 students listened to Harris Wofford speak Friday about ways the University of Kansas community can create opportunities for youth and provide them with resources to be successful in today's society.
PETER MCCORMACK
Wofford, the co-chairman of America's Promise, challenged the University and Lawrence to pledge to help youth build character and competence. America's Promise is an organization that works to make youth a national priority.
"We want to focus on service as a way of learning citizenship and a way of solving some of our problems," Wofford said.
Wofford
"Part of coming of age should be working on the hardest problems of our society or of the world. So many things can be
learned by serving and doing."
The America's Promise initiative is founded on five objectives: to provide children throughout the United States with marketable skills, health care, a safe environment, caring adults and opportunities for community service.
Four members of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, a KU student organization focused on community service, heard Wofford speak.
The society is trying to structure one of its existing programs
to meet the five promises. The program, called Planning for College Success, provides mentors for students at West Junior High School, 2700 Harvard Road.
Jeff Simpson, secretary of the society and Leavenworth junior, said the program paired members with at-risk children to help with homework and give them someone to talk to.
"It's all about the kids," Simpson said. "They're our future, so we should invest time in them. If we don't take the time to work with them and teach them, they may not be ready for our future."
Monaica Vineyard, Wichita junior, works as a project assistant and youth adviser for Lawrence-Douglas County Promise.
The program is one of more than 600 Communities of Promise in the nation founded since
Secretary of State Colin Powell launched the movement in 1997.
Vineyard said students should take on the America's Promise challenge of providing for youth.
"I think it's our duty for us to take responsibility for that as students, to make sure these kids are getting what they need," she said.
The Friday discussion complemented a summit meeting with Wofford held at Lawrence High School Saturday. The meeting was held to mobilize the community to provide resources to all youth in Douglas County.
The summit included an onsite volunteer project and featured Wofford as the keynote speaker. An afternoon of programming led by youth featured former Kansas basketball player Jerod Haase.

PERSPECTIVE
U.S. plan to attack Iraq opposes basic principles of democracy
Neil Mulka and Emily Elmore for The University Daily Kense
COMMENTARY
Matthew Dunavan
opinion@kansan.com
President Bush, in his January State of the Union address, said Saddam Hussein had to accept U.S. demands or be invaded to protect the "peace of the world." If protecting the world's peace is the goal of U.S. action, why are we seeking to engage in an unprovoked, aggressive invasion of another nation? Worse, why are we going to invade a country that sits in the middle of the world's conflict tinderbox?
One of the basic principles of democracy is that the majority opinion gets its way. Considering the United States is, by all appearances, gearing up to go to war against the objections of most of the world, it is time to face the question of whether Americans actually believe in the principles of democracy, or merely democracy for Americans.
Put this into context. Suppose Jonathan Ng, student body president, decides it would be best for students if we eliminated blue emergency phones on campus. Nearly all of Student Senate is
We are supposed to despise Hussein because he is an evil dictator who carries out his plans despite the consensus of other countries against him. Yet that is precisely what the United States pre-
I, for one, am highly uncomfortable with a nation that so enshrines the notion of democracy choosing to abandon any pretext of democracy in international politics.
Only a handful of nations are willing to voice support for a U.S. plan to attack Iraq. President Bush is contending that the United States knows what is best for the world and will use its unmatched power to do what it thinks is right, even if nearly all other countries in the world disagree.
appalled at this suggestion and unites against it. We would expect the majority to get its way. It would be undemocratic to support Ng if he then went out with a chain saw and started cutting down the blue emergency phones anyway.
In political science, when an individual gets what he wants, regardless of others' votes, we call it a dictatorship. If we take an international view, the United States is that which we ostensibly are going to war to eliminate: a dictator.
pares to do now.
It's no wonder many of the world's countries despise the United States' actions.
Bush's "Axis of Evil" used ambiguous criteria that included Iraq and North Korea and simultaneously excluded the United States. The supposed difference between the actions of those countries and our own is that we are naturally right.
The only problem is democracy doesn't take into account what is right. The only thing that matters in democracy is what is the majority supports. After all, who is better to judge what is best for me than me?
Unfortunately, the U.S. plan to go to war is fundamentally opposed to the principles of democracy.
What's worse, many of my close friends are in the armed forces. One had his unit activated for duty for a brief time.
Students at the University of Kansas should not, with good conscience, support a president who would sacrifice the lives of their friends for a chance to be the dictator of the world — and neither should any American.
Dunavan is a Topeka senior in political science and philosophy.
PERSPECTIVE
Smart weapons don't trump need for troops
With the advent of smart weapons, some think future aggressors will use terrorist acts in
order to deter the United States and its policies.
GUEST COMMENTARY
]
This is opposed to conventional land-based warfare. From the perspective of a student of political science and a soldier in the United States Army, this fear is both irrational and unfounded.
These weapons, such as guided bombs and missiles, revolutionary fighting machines and stealth bombers, although sounding insidious in nature, are indeed necessary to ensure a soldier's survival on the battlefield, not to eliminate soldiers from the battlefield scenario.
Chris Keefover
opinion@kansan.com
To begin, no one in the field of national defense refers to these weapons as toys or anything else that would make them seem as if they were harmless. These weapons are capable of destroying enemy targets from miles away without even placing a single American serviceman in harm's way.
The world got its first glimpse of smart weapons in the Vietnam War and later a more in-depth look during Desert Storm. However, the lopsided victory in Desert Storm was a result of a careful and brilliantly coordinated air and ground campaign, which brought the Iraqi military to its knees.
America is both an economic and military superpower; within its borders are the most skilled and advanced engineers in the world. Because of this, it is only natural to use this valuable resource to ensure the safety of American and allied service personnel when engaged in a war on foreign territory.
Despite the effectiveness and deadly efficiency of these weapons, one must consider the consequences for the actions of "automating" combat. One's fear and skepticism would naturally envision robotic weapons platforms running amok on a battlefield much like in the movies Terminator or War Games.
Technology played an important role in allied victory, but it was not the sole guarantor of success, as some people have been led to believe.
This is not the case — the automated weapons of today are programmed and unmanned but are not at any time without the control of a human operator.
These weapons do not eliminate the need to send troops into ground combat.
Lt. Gen. Charles A. Horner, the coalition supreme allied air commander during Desert Storm, said "You can take a piece of land and bomb it for
days. You can atomize it, pulverize it, and wipe it completely void of human life. But in order to seize and hold that land and keep it hospitable for humans, you need soldiers on the ground and in the mud, with nothing more than a pack on their back and a rifle in their hands."
The armed forces simply cannot carpet-bomb an area with cruise missiles and check the area with unmanned drones for stragglers; it is just not a realistic vision.
The efficiency of the U.S. military has not gone unnoticed. What potential adversaries of the United States are doing is not building more tanks and aircraft, but investing in other technologies such as weapons of mass destruction, cuber warfare and ballistic missiles.
The days of land warfare are certainly not over.
The Chinese, North Korean and Iraqi armies combined have well over one billion people. All of the smart munitions and technology in the world will not be able to win a war given those kinds of numbers.
A vision of American armies marching uncontested through enemy territory is just not a feasible vision for the future.
The threat of a major ground war is not over; instead it is just as large a possibility today as it was fifty years ago.
Keefover is a Topeka junior in political science.
EDITORIAL BOARD
Student signatures won't hurt senators
As college students, it should be our duty to question the University system we serve in order to make sure problems may be addressed and solutions pursued.
Unfortunately, besides gatherings on Wescoe Beach and the Zeitgeist-forming Free for All, few organized venues allow students to "make the difference" they would like to.
Senate members Scott McKenzie, Drew Thomas, Heather Young and Kevin McKenzie recently proposed bill 2003-83: "A Bill to Provide Speaking Privileges to All Students," which would follow Senate rules and regulations by allowing "students the ability to have their opinions heard in an open and unobstructed form during the Student Senate meetings."
This bill was passed in Senate committees, but failed on the Senate floor and was therefore defeated.
The bill was proposed largely to give students who had worked on bills time to speak about legislation to which they had contributed considerable amounts of time.
Despite the failure of bill 2003-83, something still needs to be done to give students who work long hours on bills the credit they deserve.
Student senate should pass a bill that would allow non-senators the ability to co-sign pieces of legislation.
This measure would encourage non-senators to work on the development of bills that have an impact on the University at large.
Without the co-signing option, students who would like to see a specific piece of legislation passed may become discouraged to work with Senate.
If you would like to see this changed, stop by the main Senate office at room 410 in the Kansas Union or e-mail your Senate representative — their names are listed at:

Scurvy a threat to students not getting their vitamin C
Bv Nikki Overfelt
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The next time KU students are shopping in the produce aisle of the grocery store, they might want to stock up on vitamin C-filled fruits and vegetables.
Scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency disease, may be mostly associated with sailors in the 1700s, but college students are gaining more recognition for being at risk for the disease, said Barbara Hermreck, dietitian at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Hermreck published a study in January about research she did
with a college student who got scurvy from eating a junk food diet.
"Scurvy is still relatively rare." Hermreck said. "But there's getting to be a much larger population who's at risk for it."
The disease is related to a monotonous diet of salty meats and the lack of fresh vegetables, fruits and other sources of vitamin C in the diet, according to Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
Hermreck said college students were at risk for the disease because they didn't normally eat the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, didn't normally eat breakfast and ate a lot of fast food. They also tend to
eat fruits, like apples and bananas, and vegetables, like green beans and potatoes, which aren't high in vitamin C, she said.
Elderly people and alcoholics are especially at high risk for scurvy, Hermreck said.
"It's not a reason to take mega doses of vitamins," Hermreck said.
Even though scurvy can be life-threatening if it's not treated, it doesn't take a large amount of vitamin C to prevent the disease, she said.
Hermreck said the recommended amount of vitamin C per day was 90 milligrams for men, 70 milligrams for women and 200
SYMPTOMS OF SCURVY

Lethargy
Spongy, bleeding, irritated nausea
Hemorrhaging of hair follicles Lower serum blood level
Bruising because of bleeding under the skin
The average orange contains 50 milligrams of vitamin C, and eight ounces of orange juice con-
milligrams for smokers. But it only takes five to 10 milligrams per day to prevent scurvy, she said.
tains about enough to fulfill the daily recommendation for a nonsmoker, she said.
"It's one of those deficiencies that we haven't heard about for a long time," Hermreck said. "It had been pretty much eradicated with vitamin C supplementation, and with the realization that it takes such a little amount to prevent it from happening."
Kansas State University sponsored a program in its main dining center for two springs in a row about four years ago to raise scurvy awareness to its students, said Mark Edwards, unit director for Derby Dining Center. The program was a promotion for Sunkist
Oranges, orange peelers and T-shirts with the character "Scurvy Boy" were handed out to students to educate them about the disease.
Plentiful diets in the United States prevented cases of scurvy, Chapman said.
Anne Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that in her 20 years at Watkins, she had never seen or heard of an instance of scurvy.
But if a students lives on fast food and has lack of vitamin C, she said, it was possible for them to get scurvy.

Steve Birdine elaborates on the keys for success at the KU NAACP Heritage Ball. Birdine, a motivational speaker with Affirmations In Action in Washington, D.C., was invited to speak at the event held in the Kansas Union Ballroom last night. "To do the incredible, you have to dream the impossible," Birdine said.
Ball honors black heritage
By Henry C. Jackson

kansan staff writer
The keynote speaker at the NAACP's Black Heritage Ball said he wore traditional African clothes because they left room to grow.
Although Steve Birdine may have been referring to weight gain, he could have been talking about the African-American community's future as well.
"To do the incredible, you have to dream the impossible," he said.
Birdine's hope-filled keynote address was one of several events during the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Black Heritage Ball last night, the group's second annual celebration of Black History Month. Among other activities during the three-hour event were a buffet dinner, a dance and a live performance by local music act Hot Sauce. About 100 people attended the event in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
The highlight for much of the crowd was Birdine's colorful motivational speech. Birdine is a Washington, D.C.-based motivational speaker with Affirmations in Action.
"He spoke the truth," said Melva Landrom, Minneapolis, Minn., sophomore and the KU NAACP's secretary. "He said a lot of stuff people didn't want to hear. He made people cringe in their seats."
Among the many topics broached by Birdine were the dating patterns of young people. If women think men are dogs, Birdine said, women should look in the mirror.
"You don't see a cow having sex with a dog, a squirrel having sex with a dog," Birdine said. "If you think your man's a dog, you need to take away the puppy chow or send him to another kennel. The point is, dogs hang out with other dogs."
Birdine also said young women should be more concerned with the academic pursuits of potential suitors and less
with their "game."
"If someone comes up to you at a party and says 'Hey baby, what's up?' you need to say, 'Stop, what's your GPA?'" Bird-dine said.
Ultimately, focus was the key to avoiding the pitfalls of college life, he said.
"I think focus is the most important thing in any of our lives," Birdine said. "The focus just needs to be on the right things."
Although NAACP members said the Heritage Ball and Birdine's speech were a success, attendance could have been better. Landrom said.
Marshanna Hester, Boonville, Mo., sophomore and membership chairwoman for KU's NAACP chapter, said the event was the most important one of the year for the NAACP.
"This is one of our biggest focuses," she said. "It's great to see people interacting with different types of people."

Van Halen. He said it was hard to adjust to being onstage, but he had a great time doing it.
The $105 price tag on Lenz was higher than it was last year when a Kansas City woman bought him for $75. He and went on three dinner dates with her to fulfill his three-hour service.
The idea for auctioning themselves came one night when the team was brainstorming ideas for fundraisers. Last year's auction, which raised $1,500
brought unexpected results. Lenzsaid.
"We were thinking about fundraisers, but didn't think this would be such a success." Lenz said. "But it really has been."
He said the team raised about $1,600 Saturday night. Kenney said he planned to have the auction again next year and would use the money the team made Saturday night to pay back the coach, who helped pay for the plane tickets of one of the players who was staying in Lawrence for six months and buy jerseys.

the end of the hour-and-a-half-long protest.
"Standing in the cold is just one small sacrifice I have to make," Cook said. "But being able to give voice to an injustice — it was totally worth it."
One Kansas teen, Matthew Limon, was sentenced to 17 years in prison for performing consensual sex on another male teen about three years ago. According to The American Civil Liberties
Union Web site. www.aclu.org, the "Romeo and Juliet" lawwould have reduced Limon's sentence to a maximum of 15 months.
But the law does not give protection to homosexuals.
"If Matt had been a female, he would already be out of jail," Robinson said. "Matt will be in jail until he is 36 years old."
Robinson said the protesters asked that Gov. Kathleen Sebelius commute Limon's sentence to time served.
Protesters also supported the Lambda Legal Defense Fund's
current case before the Supreme Court, which appeals a Texas court's decision to uphold Texas' sodomy law.
If the Supreme Court declares Texas' sodomy law unconstitutional this spring, Robinson said. Kansas' sodomy law would be invalidated.
Lambda Legal is a national organization that fights for the civil rights of homosexuals, transgendered individuals and people with HIV or AIDS.

made it easier then.
"It's very important for people over here to support people over there, because they're the ones directly affected, they're the ones who are put at risk, and they're the ones who know what's going on," said DiAnn Mroszczak, Chicago sophomore.
Another worry that concerned students with military ties have was a lack of respect they felt their relatives, the military and the U.S. government received for the war.
"We realize the gravity of the situation now," she said.
Mroszczak's father is a retired officer in the army and her older brother, a senior in college, will enter the Marines when he graduates in May. In 1995, she and her family spent a little more than a year in Saudi Arabia, where her father was stationed. Her family was sent home early when terrorists began threatening the U.S. military. Eventually, her father's office building was car bombed.
Steve Connelly, Leavenworth sophomore, has seen many things because of his father's career in the Army.
Connelly said it was his duty to join the Army, and in early January, he joined the National Guard. He leaves for basic training next fall. From there, he will go to Advanced Individual Training, where he will learn to be a mechanic for a Black Hawk helicopter.
Despite his interest in the military, Connelly said he still hoped a resolution could be found.
"Peace is the ultimate goal of the military." Connelly said.

The fracs began when Iowa State junior forward/center Jackson Vroman earned his fifth foul, bumping Simien. Vroman then appeared to grab for Simien's right shoulder. He hadn't played since injuring his shoulder against the University of Missouri-Kansas City Jan. 4.
Simien spun around to face Vroman only to meet the Cyclones 6-foot-9,245 pound sophomore center Jared Homan. While he held Simien, Miles shoved Homan in the head, earning him a technical foul.
"If my little brother got into a scuffle, I'd help him," Miles said of his involvement. "Wayne is like my brother."
Coach Roy Williams restraints sophomore forward Wayne Simien after Iowa State's Jackson Vroman pushed Simien in the second half. Simien returned to the Jayhawks' lineup early in the first half after missing 11 games. Vroman fouled out and recorded a sixth foul with a technical for pushing Simien.
Vroman was also assessed the fourth technical of the day. Eustachy earned two for arguing a traveling call on Vroman a minute early.
Miles and Simien shook hands and exchanged apologies with Vroman after the game, and Simien told reporters that on-the-court fights were foolish.
"If he wants to meet me in a dark alley, I'd be all for that," Simien said. "But nobody
wants to get in a fight on the basketball court."
Simien survived the incident and another hard foul without major shoulder problems, he said. He scored 7 points with seven rebounds in 18 minutes.

"To have all of these guys come back and be a part of this family it's just something you can't even describe in normal terms," Stallworth said.
Yesterday marked the fourth time during Kansas coach Roy William's 15 year tenure that Williams invited all former Jayhawk players and coaches back for a weekend of stories and remembrance of the history of Kansas basketball.
After attending a banquet Saturday night, the former players and coaches took the court and were all introduced at halftime by radio announcer Max Falkenstien.
During the game, the group sat behind the basket in the south end of the Fieldhouse and watched the current Jayhawks win their 19th game of the year and take sole possession of first-place in the Big 12 Conference.
Dave Robish, who played at Kansas from 1969-71 and led the Jayhawks to the Final Four in 1971 in Houston, came away impressed with Kansas' play
"They're in first place in the Big 12 right now," Robish said. "The NCAAs, they're always there and hopefully they can get a good seed and make a big run."
Born said he attended the reunion this weekend because all of the players and coaches would always be a part of the tradition no matter how many years removed they were from their playing days at Kansas.
B. H. Born was one of the players who received the most cheers from the crowd for his role in the 1952 national championship team and the national runner-up 1953 squad.
Jayhawk junior forward Jeff Graves had a different view about Kansas' performance in front of former players and coaches against the Cyclones in a physical game that featured 41 fouls.
"It was kind of embarrassing in the first half," Graves said. "But we survived it and played
Before the game yesterday, Raef LaFrentz's no. 45 jersey was retired in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse, LaFrentz, who played for Kansas from 1995-98, was a consensus All-America in 1997 and 1998.
During his senior season in 1998, LaFrentz teamed with Paul Pierce and was named Big 12 player of the year. Williams told the crowd during the ceremony he has never worked harder to recruit a player than LaFrentz.
better in the second half
"There's so much tradition here," Robish said. "You talk about North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA and all of the success, but I think as far as tradition goes and knowing the history of the game with all the players who played here, Kansas is second to none to those other programs." Note:

production early in the season. She said avoiding fouls early in games was key to the turnaround.
"I feel that if I am in foul trouble, I won't be able to do anything for the team and provide for them," Ransburg said.

Sophomore guard Blair Waltz was the only other Jayhawk to score in double figures, going 5-for-13 from the field and ending with 10 points. Waltz's offensive production had been down as of late while she suffered from back pain. Saturday was her first game in double figures since scoring 10 against Oklahoma on Jan. 22.
Kansas will head back on the road to meet Nebraska Wednesday night, looking to snap a fourgame losing streak. The team will head into the game with confidence, as its last victory was against Nebraska on Jan. 29.
"If you saw the game here, you know they are very physical," Washington said. "It's a game that we will go in there with a lot of confidence. I think if we can keep playing defensively the way we are playing right now, we will have a shot at them on the road."

Personal bests highlight meet
By Chris Wintering
cwintering@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team competed in its biggest meet of the year this weekend in Fayetteville, Ark. The Tyson Invitational, hosted by the University of Arkansas, saw more than 27 universities and colleges compete.
Kansas rose to the occasion and had a number of strong performances, with many athletes setting personal best times. One of these athletes, junior spinner Leo Bookman, finished fourth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 20.77 seconds. Bookman, an All-American in the 200-meter run last year, broke his own school-record. He also automatically qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships with his performance Friday.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said he was proud of the way his entire team preformed at the meet.
"To have our kids do this well
at a quality meet like this, against elite athletes, is really something." Redwine said.
The meet was a two-day event, with the universities and colleges competing Friday along with a number of unattached runners. Saturday's competition was a mixture of collegiate runners, unattached runners and professionals traveling on the United States of America Track and Field Golden Spike Tour.
Only the men's distance medley relay team competed in Saturday's meet for Kansas. The team made up of Bookman, sophores Brandon Hodges and Jeremy Mims and freshman Cameron Schwehr, finished fifth in the race with a time of 10:00.97.
Along with his performance in the distance medley, Hodges also finished second in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:50.83 on Friday. This was Hodges' personal best in the 800-meter run.
Redwine attributed his team's performance to the strong competition at the meet.
"We witnessed some of the world's best times and performances," Redwine said. "Most everyone ran better times today, so we're getting better and that's what we're looking for."
The women's team had eight athletes set or reach personal best times or marks. Highlighting the women's performances was sophomore Lauren Brownrigg, who won the 3,000-meter with a time of 10:15.73, and sophomore Megan Manthe, who won the mile with a time of 4:49.67. Freshman Yvonne Calzonetti continued to perform strong by placing second in the pole vault by clearing 12-8. Other women athletes setting personal best times or marks were sophomore Kim Clark, who finished third in the 800-meter run (2:10.83), freshman Angela Pichardo, who finished third in the mile (4:55.25), junior Paige Higgins, who placed fourth in the 5,000-meter run (16:59.12), sophomore Sondra Rauterkus, who
was fourth in the high jump (5-8 3/4), and sophomore Brooklyn Hann, who finished eighth in the triple jump (40-9).
In addition to Hodges and Bookman, Kansas had six other men's athletes set personal bests. They included freshman Benson Chesang, who placed second in the 5,000-meter run (14:33.83), sophomore Dan Ferguson (8:36.87) and sophomore Joshy Madathil (8:38.34), who finished fourth and fifth in the 3,000-meter. Senior Anson Jackson improved on his provisional qualifying time in the 60-meter hurdles by finishing fifth (7.89). Sophomores T.J. Hackler, who placed fifth in the high jump (6.11), and Abraham Kimeli, who finished fifth in the mile (4:17.51), also set personal bests.
The men's team is now 5-3 overall and 2-2 in conference, while the women's team is 4-1 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 competitions.

After suffering a crushing 7-0 defeat Saturday to No.15 Texas, the No.47 Kansas tennis team bounced back, defeating Utah 7-0 yesterday.
"I'm glad that we won at every spot." coach Kilmey Waterman said. "It was a good weekend to show me what the team needs to work on."
Against Utah, the Jayhawks
began the match by winning all three doubles matches to earn the doubles point.
Juniors Courtney Steinbock and Kristen Steinbock edged out Cassie Kasteler and Ellen Svensson 9-7 at the No.1 doubles position. Sophomore Paige Brown and junior Emily Haylock would follow with an 8-6 victory over Allison Hansen and Maria Svensson. Two freshmen, Luiza Lourieiro and Christine Skoda, teamed up at No.3 doubles to beat Hillary Doyle and Rachel Alder 8-4.
In singles play, the Jayhawks cruised to win all six matches. Brown won a thrilling match that ended in a tiebreaker. She rallied to defeat Svensson, 6-4, 6-7 (10-4).
"She had a different style of game, and I had a difficult time adjusting." Brown said.
Saturday, Kansas struggled and was unable to win a match against Texas. Haylock took Lindsay Blau to the limit but could not earn the victory, 2-6, 7-5 (4-10). Loureiro lost against Macey Breece 4-6, 6-3 (8-10).

Softball goes 3-1 in weekend play

Heading into the Campbell/Cartier Tournament in San Diego on Friday, the Kansas softball team was soaring with a 4-0 start on the new season.
By yesterday, the Jayhawks were still flying high — recovering from an opening 4-0 defeat to Sacramento State on Friday to pull off three straight victories to close the journey.
After Friday's mishap, Kansas (7-1) came back on Saturday to upend San Diego State, 6-3, and Fresno State, 1-0. The team went on to play Cal State-Northridge on Sunday, defeating the Matadors 4-0.
"If you would have asked me before the season if we'd be 7-1 at this point in the season, I'd probably say no," coach Tracy Bunge said. "The reason we're 7-1 is because we've played consistently and gotten some very good pitching."
Sacramento State pitcher Brianne Ferguson showed Kansas some good pitching in the first game when the sophomore pitched a one-hitter. Freshman Melaney Torres was the only Kansas batter to register a hit against Ferguson, knocking a single in the second inning. Junior Kara Pierce picked up her first loss of the year.
On Saturday, the once dormant Jayhawk bats came alive in the first inning against San Diego State. Freshman Jessica Moppin and junior Sylvia
Pfeiffer cleared the fences in the first inning, both registering their third home runs of the season. Senior Kirsten Milhoan picked up the victory, improving her record to 2-0.
Later in the day, the first inning magic continued for Kansas as freshman Destiny Frankenstein hammered a solo home run to give the Jayhawks the 1-0 lead over Fresno State. As it turned out, that the one run was all Pierce needed for support. She pitched her first shutout of the year, surrendering just two hits.
Junior Mel Wallach made the difference against Cal State-Northridge,going 2-for-3 with three RBI and a first-inning homer. Kara Pierce once more got in shutout mode, improving her record to 5-1.
Despite the offensive production, Bunge said there were other key factors to her team's early success out of the gate.
"We've been steady defensively and emotionally," Bunge said. "And for a young team, that speaks volumes about where we are right now. We just beat three teams that were in the postseason last year."
The Jayhawks will continue their tour de California next weekend when they return to the West Coast to play five games in the Softball by the Beach Tournament in Santa Barbara, Calf., starting Friday.

You were robbed?!!
Yeah, they stole
everything I got
for Christmas...
My PS2, all my games
and accessories. Also they
weeded through our DVD's
and only took the ones
they wanted. All the Kung-
Fu is still here
On the bright side, they
have a severely handicapped
taste in movies...
It's the only thing
that lets me sleep

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 17).
Today's Birthday (P. 177).
You're a big help this year to friends and loved ones. You'll have numerous chances to step in and fix things they can't figure out. Meanwhile, an older person helps you with a big financial decision, making it look easy.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7.
Tension that's been building over your work could finally break. Focus on serving others, and you'll win no matter what. So will they.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
You can see a way around a dilemma that has everybody else stymied. Offer advice, but not your hard-earned money.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. That's what they tell us, anyway. Don't be so busy reacting that you get blinded.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5.
New information helps you prevent an unpleasant scenario. Avoid a mess before it occurs, or at least confine it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
The rational approach works better than the emotional approach for the next couple of days. Having the facts will help you save money.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
rou'll draw a lot of your strength from your own inner determination. They'll like the results better doing it your way, so leave no doubt about what your way is.
Libra (Sept.23-Oct.22).Today is an 8.
There's apt to be confusion, but you can help. Don't let your own worries get in the way. Make sure the word gets out.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is a 6.
Friends want to help but could actu-
any make things worse. Don't promise anybody a loan until you're sure how much you have.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
A critical observer could be quite annoying, but don't make a snappy remark. Just take the advice and use it, and she'll think you're really smart.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
There's liable to be some confusion, but you can stay out of the way. Offer words of wisdom, but wisely wait until you're asked for them.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
Financial paperwork may not be your idea of a good time,but doing it now is an excellent idea.Take care of it before you go shopping again.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Today is a 6.
Check on how things are going so far. Are you still within budget? Make adjustments until you get realigned.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

Weekend outdone by Roy's response
Kansas men's basterball coach Roy Williams held the most uncharacteristic of weekly press conferences on Friday. It was, unfortunately, the big story of Kansas athletics despite an event-filled weekend.
The baseball team swept a three-game series with mighty Louisiana State, the No. 6 team in the country, this weekend. The Border War Series did what it's done all year — give points to Missouri — at the women's basketball game on Saturday. Wayne Simien returned to action yesterday, scoring seven points in Kansas' 70-51 victory over Iowa State.
But Williams stole the spotlight—and he didn't even want to.
Mangino still hasn't said anything. In a situation like Bohl's, a coach refusing to comment isn't good if you're the boss who's under fire.
Roy Williams did comment on Friday. And it still wasn't good for Bohl.
Patrick Dennis/The Advocate, Baton Rouge, Lu.
Williams spent roughly 10 minutes through the duration of the press conference talking about Al Bohl. He never once said his name, instead, referring to him by his title.
"My relationship with my athletics director is a very professional relationship," Williams said. "He's the athletics director, and I know that."
The media caught on. Several questions were asked about Bohl, but no one ever used his name. In the 30-minute press conference with one topic and one guy on everybody's mind, no one flat out said it. It was spooky.
Kirk Hinrich, the lone player at the press conference, had what appeared to be a gag order regarding the mess. Hinrich, though, probably couldn't care less about Al Bohl anyway.
But, apparently, neither does Williams. Judging by behavior at the press conference, his personal relationship with Bohl is rocky at best. And if you're Bohl, that's not good.
If Bohl wants to stay at the University, he better get his relationship with Williams — and with everybody else for that matter — straightened out. Millions of dollars from donors speak volumes, and you can bet your life that if push comes to shove, Bohl, without a doubt, would lose a popularity contest to Williams.
If Bohl's end is near we can only hope that the athletics department doesn't go down the toilet while his hands are still on it.
Fresno State, where Bohl was last athletics director, is arguably the most corrupt department in the NCAA, and all of the staining of that department han-
pened during the six years Bohl was in charge.
And how he's the man at Kansas, a department with one sport that's good enough for the NCAA tournament, and a number of others that need major work.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Here's hoping Bohl doesn't screw things up like he easily could.
Kansas' No.21 Casey Spanish is congratulated after hitting a three-run home run. The hit increased the score of Sunday's second game in the third inning to 7-1. The batter who followed hit a solo shot to bump the lead to 8-1. Kansas won the game 9-7.

Kansas sweeps No.6 LSU
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas baseball team (9-3) shocked college baseball fans when it swept No. 6 Louisiana State (4-3) in Baton Rouge, La., this weekend.
Kansas came into the weekend series with a record of 6-3 against mostly unproven competition. Louisiana State, at 4-0, was off to its best start since 2000, when the Tigers won the national championship. This weekend's games were played in Alex Box Stadium, a place that Ritch Price, Kansas baseball coach, referred to as the mecca of college baseball.
Before the first game, Price advised the team to play hard.
"They have 8,000 season tickets and five championships hanging from their scoreboard that they call the 'Intimidation Board,'" Price said. "I told the team we had to win the hustle game and we had to compete, every pitch."
For the 7,326 screaming LSU fans Friday night, the stage seemed to be set for a major mismatch.
The first game started grimly for the Jayhawks when Tiger lead-off hitter Quinn Stewart bombed a home run off starter Kevin Wheeler's first pitch in the bottom of the first inning.
The Jayhawks responded with a three-run second inning to take a 3- lead. With a run in the top of the seventh to tie the score at 6-6, Kansas forced extra innings.
It was Wheeler's time to shine. In the top of the 10th, Wheeler smashed a lead-off homer to spark a three-run inning, which gave Kansas a 9-6 victory that fans never expected. Ryan Knippschild
claimed the victory for his three scoreless innings of relief, including the decisive 10th inning.
Rain forced the cancellation of Saturday's game, bumping it to yesterday and creating a doubleheader.
Only about 2,000 fans watched the last two games of the LSU saga.
In game two, Kansas started a three-run fifth inning to take a 5-2 lead. This
came after an LSU error on a Casey Spanish double allowed Wheeler to score from first. Sophomore third baseman Travis Metcalf hit a homer to bring Spanish in. The Jayhawks held on to win 6-4.
Game three became ugly in a hurry for the Tigers.
Tied 1-1 with two outs in the third inning. Kansas exploded for seven runs. After a bunt single by senior outfielder
Lance Hayes and a Ritchie Price single, junior first baseman Ryan Baty doubled down the left field line, scoring both runners. Wheeler scored to right field and Baty scored. Junior outfielder Matt Tribble singled to center field and Spanish, senior outfielder, hit a three-run homer. Metcalf then hit his second home run of

All alone, Kansas sophomore guard Aaron Miles shoots the second of two free throws resulting from a technical foul on Iowa State junior forward Jackson Vroman. The second half of the Jayhawks' 70-51 victory over the Cyclones was riddled with drama, including the ejection of Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy. Miles, who went eight for nine from the free throw line, set a single-game team record with nine steals.
'Hawks win in 'screwed-up day'
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter.
Yesterday's meeting between No.9 Kansas and Iowa State had something for everyone.
Dallas Mavericks forward Raef LaPrentz had his jersey retired, Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy was ejected, nearly 200 former players were recognized as part of 105 years of Kansas basketball, and sophomore forward Wayne Simien made his return and got in a scuffle. Oh yeah, and Kansas (19-5 overall, 9-1 Big 12 Conference) won 70-51.
The Jayhawks got their first indication that it wouldn't be a normal outing during warm-ups. LaFrentz's ceremony delayed pregame activities, so that the players ran onto the floor to the sound of the Kansas alma mater, "Crimson and the Blue."
"It was a screwed-up day," Kansas coach Roy Williams said after the game.
"We've never heard them singing 'Hail to KU' when we come out."
Once Collision and his teammates got past the early confusion, they settled into one of their lowest scoring halves of the season. The Jayhawks' 28 points in the first period — good enough for a 6-point halftime advantage — were just six more than they scored in the second half against Arizona.
Sophomore point guard Auron Miles made up for the Jayhawks' lackluster offensive performance by providing a series of highlights on defense. Miles notched seven steals in the first half and finished the game with a Kansas-record of nine. He nearly recorded a triple-double with points (14), assists (9), and steals (9).
"He was sensational," Williams said of Miles. "And you can't say that about a lot of things today."
Those other things included a second-half skirmish between the Jayhawks and Cyclones.
Kansas senior forward Nick Collison said of the last line of the alma mater. "That was kind of strange."

Former Kansas forward Bud Stallworth was one of nearly 200 former players and coaches who attended yesterday's Kansas victory over Iowa State as part of a celebration of 105 years of Kansas basketball.
Stallworth, who played under Ted Owens from 1970-72, averaged 25.3 points per game his senior season and scored 50 points in his final game in Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 26, 1972, in a 93-80 victory over Missouri.

Women fall to Mizzou; Border War still uneven
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sports switter
Like just about every other team at the University of Kansas, the women's basketball team did not have a memorable first experience in the Border War series with Missouri.
The Jayhawks (9-13 overall, 2-9 Big 12) fell to the Tigers (13-9, 7-4) on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, 61-55. The Tigers were paced by junior forward Evan Unrau, who scored 15 of her team-high 18 points in the first half. She was complemented by her fellow forward, junior Stretch James, who had 15 points and 13 rebounds in the game. Despite the individual efforts, it was three-point range where Missouri dismantled Kansas as a team. The Tigers hit seven threes in the game compared to only one for Kansas.
"The area that really hurt us was that we lost players in transition and that is just a lack of focus," coach Marian Washington said. "In the first half we gave up four three-point shots, and it's mostly because we did not set up correctly."
The two teams played close for most of the first half. Kansas led 11-10 four minutes into the game, but Missouri then went on a 9-0 run to take the lead for good. Along with the Tigers' run, the Jayhawks went scoreless for a five-minute stretch in the first half that killed the team's momentum. Washington said that more leadership from freshman point guard Eric Hallman would help avoid such scoring droughts in the future.
"She has so much talent, but she has to learn how to lead this club." Washington said. "I think that there was too much dribbling and they weren't clear about what they were supposed to be doing."
Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg paced Kansas with a game-high 19

Kansas baseball ranks No.21 after weekend upset p.1B
Tuition increases will persist
Students may not know increases will continue for the next five years
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Many students may not realize that the last tuition increase was not a one-time event.
The tuition increase for this academic year was part of a five-year plan submitted to the Board of Regents.
A factor that could affect how much tuition goes up this coming year is Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' plan for the higher education budget that was approved Feb. 10. The House budget-writing committee approved the plan to keep higher education spending at current levels. But this amount still falls short of what the University of Kansas needs to maintain current services.
Even though, the tuition increase was introduced as part of five-year plan, students such as Jessica Strathman were not aware that another tuition increase was on the horizon.
"Tuition goes up a little every year. But I didn't think the increase for next year would be as big of a chunk as last year's."
Becky Kuckelman Axtell sophomore
"I thought it was a one time increase," Strathman, Baileyville sophomore said.
Becky Kuckelman, Axtell sophomore, said that, while she was aware tuition would probably go up again, she didn't realize it would be similar in magnitude to the previous increase.
"Tuition goes up a little every year," said Kuckelman. "But I didn't think the increase for next year would be as big of a chunk as last year's."
Provost David Shulenburger said in an e-mail that the proposal given to the Board of Regents laid out a five year plan in which tuition is increased a minimum of $16.50 per credit hour. For 15 hours that's an increase of at least $247 for in-state students each semester.
Shulenburger also said the proposal indicated that other factors may intervene, but the five-year tuition increase course was set.
Strathman said even with the wide coverage of the tuition increase, she missed the key element in the tuition increase: the time frame.
"I can't belive I missed that key information," she said. "Well at least now I know it's coming and can start preparing for it."
Imperfect proportions KU women seek breast plastic surgery to correct health problems, body image
Story by Vonna Keomanyvong Art by John Nowak
When Lucy was 17, her breasts were so heavy, her bra straps left scars on her shoulders.
When Lindsey was 17, she'd look in the mirror and wonder if her breasts would ever grow.
In an era when image is everything and in a country where plastic surgery is almost as common as the cold, both young women went under the knife for a breast makeover.
They're far from alone. More than 200,000 women had breast implant surgery in 2001, while more than 100,000 had breast reduction surgery according to a recent survey by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
In that group, women between ages 19 and 34 accounted for more than 100,000 breast enlargements and more than 51,000 breast reductions.
Lucy's story
Luev Blanev always had big breasts.
The Overland Park senior said that the first time she was teased was on a field trip at a park in fifth grade because she was the only girl wearing a bra
"Everyone was pointing at me and saying 'She's wearing a bra,'" she said. "I tried convincing people it was a bathing suit. No one believed me because someone came up and snapped it."

Profanity central to Carlin's humor
By Lauren Bristow
Ibristow@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Using his ability to humor, appall and entertain audience members to tears, comedian George Carlin performed to a sold-out crowd at the Lied Center.
The almost 2,000 audience members cheered as Carlin walked onstage last night with no formal introduction and immediately greeted them with a joke about female anatomy noises.
"Y'know something that nobody talks to but everyone - suave facts." Cool said
After the comment, the crowd went wild.
"It was typical Carlin," said Richard Stephens, Sterling senior, who brought his mother, Casondra, to the performance. "It's his classic setup. It prepares you for what he's going to talk about."
Carlin is known in the comedy world for pointing out inconsistencies in American culture and ideals while adding a humorous and usually obscene spin to his delivery. He entertained the audience with a mix of his thoughts on traffic accidents, suicide, sex, enemas and masturbation during his hour and fifteen minute performance.
Scott Reynolds/Kansan
COLUMBIA
Although several audience members with young children left during Carlin's detailed explanation of his idea for female anatomy transplants, Mike Hill and Terri Johnson of Kansas City, Kan. didn't think the content was inappropriate for their 12-year-old son Mike Hill Jr.
"He gets exposed to a lot more than this," Johnson said. "There was no question about whether we would bring him.
"Y'know something that nobody talks about anymore — pussy farts." Comedian George Carlin performed in front of a sell-out crowd at the Lied Center last night. Carlin appears in 60 theater concerts a year, and he has starred in 12 HBO television comedy specials.
He loves the HBO specials. He's the reason we came."
Carlin rose to national fame in 1973 with his stand up comedy routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television." Carlin used many of those words during his performance last night.
"He uses the profanity for artistic purpose," Stephens said. "It's just what he does. It isn't to offend people."
"His material just never gets old," Casondra Stephens said. "He just keeps writing more material and it just keeps getting funnier and better."

Chicago nightclub tragedy raises awareness at local bars
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A confirmed 21 people died early yesterday morning in a rush to leave the confines of a panic-ridden crowd suffering from the effects of pepper spray or Mace, at the Epitome Night Club in South Chicago.
Questions from concerned native Chicagoans as well as local bar owners and concert-goers have surfaced in reaction to a good time at a nightclub that turned deadly.
Kelly Mack, Naperville, Ill., senior lives in a suburb 20 minutes southwest of the city. Mack and her friends hit the Chieago night clubs such as Le Passage, Vision and Crobar but Mack had never heard of Epitome.
"It made me feel relieved that I'd never heard of the club because then I knew none of my friends were there," she said.
Mack was shocked by the tragic situation but said it could have been worse.
there, but say it was a Friday or Saturday night?" she said. "I'm sure there would have been more people there."
Epitome was already at its capacity of 1,500 people when a fight broke out between two women. Mace was sprayed into the air sending the rest of the clubgoers heading for exit doors that became blocked in the hysteria. The 21 deaths were caused by crushing and injuries due to suffocation. The nightclub was operating in violation because it was meant to be closed down after receiving a months-old court, city authorities said.
"I'm sure there were a lot of people
The club fatalities marked one of the nation's deadliest stampedes. In another situation in December 1979, 11 people were killed in Cincinnati trying to enter a concert by The Who.
Closer to home, clubs such as Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 East Sixth St., can pack in about half the number as the Chicago night club. The bar has hosted several sold-out shows with bands such as The Wailers, Blues Traveler, Leftover Salmon and, more recently, The Roots on Saturday nights.
"You couldn't move around on the floor, but I could never imagine what happened in Chicago happening here in Lawrence."
Kyle Hopkins Prairie Village senior
Lawrence fire marshal Rich Barr issued Abe and Jake's a ticket Saturday night for exceeding its capacity.
Mike Logan, general manager and Lawrence senior, said Abe and Jake's will appeal the ticket. He said that although 740 was the official capacity number, the number was kept low enough so that the bar and concert-goers could be comfortable. Logan also said Abe and Jake's had enough exits, seven, so that 1,000 people could easily exit.
Jeff Allmon, Wichita senior, paid $23 minus Ticketmaster fees for his ticket to The Roots show. By the time he got to the front of the line, the fire marshal told Allmon and his friends they might not be
able to go inside because Abe and Jake's was over capacity by 60 people. The fire marshal let them in after issuing the bar a ticket, Allmon said.
"Right now I'm angry." Allmon said. "But I'd be infuriated had I been left in the cold."
Aminon said the show was skinging even though he and his friends missed The Roots' first two songs.
"We were this close to rioting to the front if the doormen didn't let us in," he said.
Once inside, Allmon said it was packed — the floor, the stairway, everywhere.
Mark Grinstead, inspector for the Lawrence Fire Department, said the department had nine consultants that it sent out to check for those kinds of situations.
"Being a college town, we keep a real close eye on it." Grinstead said.
"Most of the kids are happy that we are bringing their favorite artists," Logan
Logan said most of the crowd Saturday night had their eyes on the stage and their bodies grooving to the music.
said.
Kyle Hopkins, Prairie Village senior, went to The Roots performance and said it was the most crowded show he had ever been to at Abe and Jake's.
"You couldn't move around on the floor, but I could never imagine what happened in Chicago happening here in Lawrence." Hopkins said.
Hopkins said he felt a good vibe at Lawrence shows.
"I think the crowds in Lawrence are always relaxed," he said.
Logan said he had never had problems with bar brawls but prepared his staff for the possibility. Should a fight happen, he has instructed his staff to break up the individuals and take them to separate exits, which should end the situation.
"In case of a fight, fire, whatever, you have to know how to handle these situations," Logan said. "That's just part of the job.

Pulitzer prize winner to reschedule visit
Guests expecting to see Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Roger Wilkins Sunday night were met with a surprise: Richard Norton Smith, director of the Dole Institute of Politics spoke instead.
Wilkins was a no-show for a speech scheduled for 7:30 p.m. last Sunday after a snowstorm along the eastern seaboard piled more than a foot of snow on the Washington, D.C., area where Wilkins lives. Norton spoke about Abraham Lincoln in Wilkins' absence.
Though a date has not been set, Wilkins will try to reschedule his speech for sometime in the spring, officials from the Dole Institute said.
Wilkins won the Pulitzer Prize as a member of The Washington Post for its coverage of the Watergate scandal. Wilkins is now retired from journalism and is a professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.

Boy undergoes surgery after mauling by family dog
WICHITA — A 4-year-old boy underwent surgery last Sunday after being mauled by the family's Rottweiler in his back yard.
The boy was critically injured by bites to his face and neck before his parents could pull the dog off, police said. One of his two sisters told police he also was bitten by the family's black Labrador.
"I heard crying and moaning and then saw the dog biting him," said 14-year-old neighbor Vickie Phothilath, who alerted the boy's parents of the attack.
Police said the attack occurred at about 4:30 p.m. when the boy was playing in the back yard.
Phothilath said her 9-year-old sister, Mickie, was the first to hear the boy's cries for help. When the older sister saw what was happening, she ran to the front yard and told the boy's parents.

House debates birth control bill
Insurance companies would be required to pay for contraceptives
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The way women in Kansas pay for contraceptives could be changing.
A new bill under consideration in House committees would mandate that insurance companies cover the costs of all contraceptives.
Rep. Paul Davis (D-East-Central Lawrence) is one of the main proponents of the bill.
"Women have broken the glass ceiling all across the nation over the last several decades," Davis said. "However, the remnants of a male-dominated society are reflected in the design of standard health insurance policies."
For example, he said, when Viagra was introduced in 1998, one half of the prescriptions received insurance coverage within two months.
A goal of the bill, Davis said, is to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies in Kansas. Contraceptives have a proven track record of reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies, he said.
Right now, some contraceptive services are covered by insurance plans, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. That group includes about 93 percent of health maintenance organizations, 70 percent of point of service plans, 50 percent of preferred provider organizations and 50 percent of indemnity plans.
But many of the policies do not cover all of the five most common contraceptive methods: oral contraceptives; the intrauterine device; the diaphragm; Norplant, a set of rods inserted into upper arm; and Depo Provera, the contraceptive shot, Davis said.
The Health Insurance Association of America, which represents commercial health insurers, does not support this bill, said Bill Sneed, a representative for the Topeka-based association.
Wilhite said she opposed the policy of most insurance companies, which says that contraceptives should not receive coverage.
Kelli Wilhite, Olathe sophomore and member of the Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition, works for one of the main supporters of the bill, Planned Parenthood, 2108 W.27th Drive.
"It's something that's important for women's health," she said.
"We oppose the bill because we oppose mandates of any kind," he said. "We believe the marketplace should determine what's covered."
Dean of students has appreciation talent for piano and gospel music
The bill, brought before the House Insurance Committee Thursday, will continue to be debated throughout the legislative session. Proponents of the bill were not able to testify at the Insurance Committee meeting Thursday because they did not have a statement that showed the bill's possible impact on Kansas, said chairwoman Patricia Barbieri-Lightner.
In light of this decision, Davis said, proponents would try to move the bill to another committee, amend it onto another bill or request that the chairwoman have another hearing.

Richard Johnson, dean of students, sits aside a piano on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Johnson, who works to establish positive relationships between students and faculty at the University of Kansas, has a love for gospel music. He began playing the piano when he was 6 years old.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, creates harmony in and out of the office.
He establishes good relationships between students and faculty, and aside from work he shares his love of music.
Johnson has been playing the piano since he was 6 years old when his mother enrolled him in piano lessons. It wasn't long until his mother figured out that he wasn't reading the notes — he was playing all the notes by ear.
Eric Braem/Kansan
Johnson's mother was a church musician. By the time he turned 11 years old, he was playing alongside her.
Although Johnson prefers piano, he also plays the drums, tenor and alto saxophones, oboe, bassoon, tuba, bass clarinet, piano and organ. He said when he was in the band at Oregon State University, the basketball team made a big play. The usual drummer was not present, so Johnson just sat down and took his place.
"I had never played the drums before in my life," he said. "I kept the beat though."
Although Johnson has an easy-going attitude, Carolus Taylor, his former pastor at Friendship Baptist Church in Columbia, Mo., knows that Johnson likes things done in a specific manner.
"He's a perfectionist," Taylor said. "He really likes things to be done in a certain order. He has a good mind for what he's doing."
Johnson's love for gospel music was contagious. In 1992, he co-founded an ecumenical choir in Burlington, Vt. The choir performed at Gospel Fest, a choral event that Johnson founded and organized. The event was composed of 60 different voices from 60 different religions and denominations. Gospel Fest is an annual event that has been held every February in Burlington since 1993.
Although he no longer plays piano for a church choir, Johnson's love for music
"It was so cool to have Jews, Catholics, and Methodists all singing gospel music together," Johnson said.
thrives at KU. He is a fan of the KU marching band, and he has even traveled with the band to Tulsa, Okla.
Tom Stidham, associate director of the KU bands, said the whole band appreciated
his interest and support.
"Dean Johnson likes band and football," Stidham said. "He's a really personable guy."

TUESDAY.FEBRUARY 18.2003
EDITORIAL BOARD
Students must vote to earn relevance
This month, the residents of Lawrence will begin the process of determining who will lead the city for the next two years.
Because of low student-voter turnout, candidates have historically devoted little attention to the needs of students.
In the 1998 city election, only 12 percent of registered student voters showed up to the Allen Fieldhouse polling site.
By voting, students can help direct
Commission candidate Zach Bassin believes this needs to change.

the future of Lawrence, and allow it to remain a college-friendly town," Bassin said.
In 2000, the city commission raised an uproar among students when it limited the number of non-related
individuals who could live in a house to three.
Because the student body was not a significant voting demographic, the commission was able pass the zoning ordinance, aimed directly at students with little risk of voter backlash.
According to Bassin, "the most important issue affecting students in this election is the flow of sales tax dollars to fund development in West Lawrence."
Under the current structure, sales tax dollars from downtown businesses frequented by students are used to pay for infrastructure in new developments.
"In cities with growth rates similar to Lawrence, the cost of new infrastructure is covered by developers rather than taxpayers." Bassin said.
Students must vote in order to have their issues addressed in Lawrence politics.
To vote in city commission elections, students have to be registered to vote in Douglas County.
To register, or to find out where to vote, stop by the Douglas County Courthouse on 11th and Massachusetts streets, or go to www.douglas county.org/Clerk/vote.asp.

PERSPECTIVE
Beware of unbound textbooks
S
S sometimes tradition is a good thing. Sometimes, it's not, and it actually holds up much needed improve-ment
ment.
COMMENTARY
But sometimes, people do things a certain way because those methods work. They are tried and tested over time and, like natural selection (if you choose to believe in it), the working ideas have been retained in our tradition while the bad ones went extinct.
I found myself contemplating this after I bought textbooks. Admittedly, I hadn't been paying much attention when I selected my paperback abnormal psychology book. The hardcover version wasn't in stock and would be more expensive anyway. So you can imagine my surprise when I opened the shrink-wrap, and the book almost spilled out over the floor.
Was it really a good idea?
Upon closer inspection I realized that the pages were loose deliberately. The publisher peddled this as a weight- and money-saver. "Take only what you need to class," it said on the front cover. Instead of being bound like a traditional book, the entire thing was made of loose-leaf pages, three-hole punched to fit in a 3-ring binder. My first thought was this was a clever trick to sell more binders.
Sam Lane opinion@kansan.com
Call me old-fashioned, but I actually like bound books. That's what makes them books, and that's what keeps pages
from being lost by the hundreds that later need to be gathered and sorted when it comes time to read the chapter.
As far as taking only what I need to class, I can't recall the last time I was supposed to take a psychology textbook to class. Take notes in class, read the chapter at home. This is the way it's always been. If I want to do something in class that involves not paying attention, I don't do the reading. I fall asleep. That's infinitely more satisfying and leaves my mind clear and refreshed for my next class. And a quick, between-class snack will get rid of the "just woke up" bad taste in my mouth.
About the claim that the unbound "book" saves money — it was $74. The scary part is it almost was something of a bargain at that. The hardcover version of the textbook sold for $96 new and was $71 used, slightly cheaper than the unbound version at a market price.
But that's just initial purchase.
According to Bill Getz, text manager at the KU bookstore, looseleaf books cannot be bought back. No one at the bookstore wants to go through almost 700 pages of loose "book" to make sure they're all there.
So a student with the loose version will never see the usual $45 for the buyback of a book, which, considering the new price, makes it cheaper overall. I say usual because the bookstore had an arrangement with Dr. David Holmes, professor of psychology, to pay less on buyback so they could lower the used price to less than $40.
Getz said looseleaf "books" are increasingly popular. In addition to my psychology class, Biology 100 and Business 240 use them. Buyback problems aside, they are cheaper on the shelf than new hardcovers, and publishers like them because they cannot be recirculated. Every student has to buy a new book every time, which means more sales and more profits for them.
So is this the wave of the future? And is it a good idea that stubborn traditionalists like me are senselessly opposing?
I'd say not, but if you care to debate it with me, I'll be amid supplies of glue and string trying to do a arts-and-crafts-type project to turn my pile of paper into an honest-to-goodness book.

PERSPECTIVE
Another skyscraper inappropriate
Before Sept. 11, 2001, 1,368 feet of steel towered over the New York City skyline. The World Trade Center towers were symbols of American success, prosperity and freedom. They represented strength and solidity, but were everything but that when they crumbled on that fateful morning. What caused them to fall?
.
COMMENTARY
They were targets of terrorism because of what they stood for.
And now, New York City officials want to replace the towers with an even larger tourist attraction.
To those terrorists, the towers were symbols of arrogance, greed and sin. In Osama bin Laden's Nov. 24, 2002, letter to the American people that was published in the Observer Worldview magazine, he describes America as "a nation without principles or manners." The World Trade Center towers were not symbols of pride to the terrorists — they were symbols of evil.
It's inappropriate to try to duplicate the Trade Center's dominance over the New York skyline with a gaudy memorial.
Now, in the grand American tradition, we try to push the envelope again.
Meagan Kelleher
opinion@kansan.com
In two of the plans that have been revealed for the memorial site, the new buildings would dwarf the former towers. In fact, these two new plans would beat out the current tallest towers in the world, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which stand at 1,483 feet.
Is this really the best way to memorialize the sites of the largest terrorist attack in American history?
I am in no way suggesting that bin Laden or the terrorists were correct to fly into the towers, nor am I suggesting that we cower in fear and never prosper. I am questioning the motives behind the two monstrous plans. Indeed, it is time that something be done with the space left after all that debris was cleared away, but do the plans really need to be so extravagant, and do both need to be nearly 2,000 feet tall? When city officials reconvene to decide on a plan, they will be making their choice on whether they want an elevated promenade or a hotel on the site. The first plan, created by the THINK team, a group of different architects, mimics two scaffoldings that one would see at an outdoor rock concert. When people fly into New York, it's not going to look like the business and communications center of the world; it will look more like Woodstock. Plus, placed around the outside of the latticework towers would be a hotel, in the true
American tradition of capitalism. I wonder where the gift shop will be.
A second plan, developed by Studio Daniel Libeskind, features a 1,776-foot spire, elevated promenade, and a 70-foot deep meditation area that showcases remaining pieces of the fallen towers. It looks more like a space station than any sort of business center. Naturally, development officials had to base their decisions not only on aesthetic aspects, but also practicality. After all, these "memorials" are located in the center of New York's transportation crossroads, and businesses have to be able to thrive there as they did prior to Sept. 11.
Are we building these monstrosities to claim the tallest-building-in-the-world status, or are they intended as memorials?
Mimicking the grandeur and dominance of the towers by simply replacing them with flashier and larger buildings doesn't provide a necessary sense of reverence into the site. It may take up to 12 years to completely finish the entire memorial, whichever plan city officials decide on, and families have expressed their insistence that the memorial itself get built first. After that, the city is free to build as many hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions as will fit on the spot where 5,899 people were killed.
I'm just wondering if another sky scraper is really what this country needs

The bus, chartered by the KU Visitors Center, was in neutral with the engine running in the Visitors Center parking lot when it began moving, said Lawrence police officer Todd Polson.

The worst blizzard in seven years shut down much of the Northeast yesterday with blinding, windblown snow that piled up as much as 4 feet deep and left more than a quarter of a million homes and businesses shivering without power.
At least 21 deaths had been blamed on the storm system since it charged out of the Plains during the weekend, piling snow in the Ohio Valley, producing mudslides and floods in the southern Appalachians, and making layers of ice that snapped trees and power lines.
The storm was headed for New England, where Massachusetts

expected up to 2 feet of snow and minor coastal flooding.
Airports for Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York largely shut down, stranding thousands of passengers trying to leave and get into the region. Amtrak's north-south service was halted between Washington and Richmond, Va., and regional bus service stopped in many areas.
The holiday meant there were few commuters, but police from Kentucky to Massachusetts pleaded with motorists to just stay home and some counties banned nonessential travel so they could clear the roads.
The western tip of Maryland was buried, with 49 inches of snow in
Garrett County on top of 30-foot drives left by earlier storms.
Elsewhere, 27 inches fell in West Virginia's Berkeley County, the National Weather Service said. The Seven Springs ski resort area on western Pennsylvania had 40 inches. In northern Virginia, Winchester had 30 inches and Linden, on the Blue Ridge, measured 35. To the west, some parts of Ohio reported ice 8 inches thick with other areas under 16 inches of snow.
It was one of the worst snowstorms in a century in Washington, where 16 inches fell. For the region as a whole, it was the worst snowstorm since the blizzard of 1996, when at least 80 deaths were blamed on the weather.

Today's Birthday (Feb. 18).
HOROSCOPES
This is not a good year to take risks with your money or with your heart. Keep things as stable as you possibly can in spite of planned and foreseeable changes. You can do it by juggling. It's a great skill to learn.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6. Don't assume that everything you learned is true, or that everything you heard is false. Street smarts work better now than book smarts.
Taurus (April20-May20). Today is a 7.
The final outcome could be expensive if you're not careful. Don't try to bail out a loved one who's in a jam. You'd interfere with his or her education.
Gemini(May21-June21). Today is a 6.
A disagreement about household matters may have you stuck, but don't despair. You agree that a change is necessary, so start there.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) is 6. Establish a routine to help you deal
with the variables. You might feel as if you're herding cats, so use every trick in your book.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6. A partner may be able to express your position better than you can. Meanwhile, don't waste money on toys or trinkets. Put a temporary hold on spending.
It may sometimes seem like you're taking a stand and standing there all by yourself. That's not really true when there's love on your side, and in this situation, there is.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8.
Are your conscious and subconscious intentions in alignment? In other words, are you sure of the outcome you want? Better check.
Scorpio (Oct, 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Go over your budget with a critical eye. You may be wasting a lot more than you realize. Plug those leaks!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6.
Plans are apt to go awry due to changes that are beyond your control. Remember your objective, and be flexible. You may have to get there using a different route.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
In order to expand your influence, revisions may be required. What worked in a smaller space is inadequate now.
Aquarius (Jan, 20-Feb, 18). Today is a 6.
Finish up yesterday's task and what ever else is on your lists. That'll give you more time for fun should the opportunity knock.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 6.
Go over your expenses one more time, and project what else you might need. The process you're involved with keeps changing. Stay flexible and keep control.

Nicole F. Cunningham
Barbara Anne McGrath is a Prairie Village plastic surgeon who performed Lucy Blaney's breast reduction surgery. She said a woman's physique determined whether her breasts were too big. "Whatever causes discomfort for the patient," she said.
Barbara Anne McGrath, a plastic surgeon, holds two types of breast implants. Silicone-gel implants (left) are rarely used because of health concerns, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Saline-filled implants (right) are used instead.

1. 2023年1月1日，公司发布《关于调整公司章程的公告》，同意公司首次公开发行股票，拟以每股人民币10元的价格，通过证券交易所流通市值。
Lucy Blaney, Overland Park senior, surgically reduced the size of her breasts from a 34DDD to a 32C. Her breasts were so heavy that Blaney had constant back and chest pains.
She was just a size A. But by age 16, her breasts had grown to a size D. For Blaney, the size was too big because she was 5 feet 4 inches tall and 127 pounds.
"When I was 16, I looked like I was 20." Blaney said. "It wasn't horrible. The attention seemed like a good idea because I was the only one who had boobs."
"You don't get the kind of respect that you want," Blaney said. "I was psychologically and physically uncomfortable. I felt like I didn't fit in and that people were scrutinizing me and judging me because of my breast size."
As her breasts grew bigger, so did her upper-back, neck and chest pains.
Her heavy back pack, tight bra and breasts all contributed to constant muscle spasms and pain. She could not go for a walk or work out because her back and chest hurt, she said.
"I used to lie on the ground at night and work out my back for about an hour," Blaney said. "I couldn't sit up straight very long because my back would get completely out of whack."
Her mother, Susan Blaney, said she supported her daughter's decision to get a reduction.
"She was always complaining that her neck and back hurt," she said. "My husband's mother had to get a breast reduction, and I knew Lucy would feel a lot better if she went through the surgery."
When Blaney turned 17, she went to a doctor to discuss breast reduction surgery. Her doctor told her to wait a couple of years for her breasts to finish growing.
Three years later, she returned to the doctor as a size DDD.
She had surgery during winter break of her sophomore year.
"My plastic surgeon said that I would have permanent back damage if I didn't get a reduction," said Blaney, now 22.
Lindsey's story
Lindsey Smith thought she was a late bloomer in high school.
Every year, the Lawrence junior said she thought her breasts would grow, but she eventually gave up on the idea.
Smith wore padded bras to try to look more like her friends.
"I realized that I wasn't going to grow anymore when I saw that everyone else was filling out and looking like a woman and I still looked like a girl," Smith said.
"I looked like Peter Pan. I was flat as a board."
Although Smith said she was OK with her body, she still wanted more.
"I didn't think that my body was proportional because I was 5'10", big-boned with broad shoulders and I wore a size 34A," Smith said.
"I was envious of other girls because their breasts looked great and mine didn't," she said. "I never cried because I had small breasts and I probably could have lived with them, but I always wished that I had bigger ones."
"They were really skeptical at first because they thought it was a waste and that I didn't need to do that," Smith said. "It took quite a bit of convincing, but they were supportive."
When Smith told her family about her decision to get implants, they disapproved.
Her younger sister. Corey Smith, said she supported her sister but thought the surgery would be a waste of money.
"I thought they were going to look fake and that she might not want them afterwards," said Corey Smith, Lawrence senior
However, of all women who want implants, Corey said she felt her sister should get them because her body looked unbalanced.
"I never would have told her that because I didn't want to hurt her feelings," she said. "It was a
THE CUTS AND STITCHES
Implant surgeries:
A 1-inch incision is made underneath the armpit, around the nipple or underneath the curves of the breasts.
The surgeon divides tissues underneath the breast and pectoral muscle for the implant.
Once the space is developed, the surgeon opens it with his or her hands.
Reduction surgeries:
The saline implants, which are deflated, are rolled up and inserted into the breasts. Saline is injected into the implant through a tube that is attached to a valve on the implant.
Before the surgery, blood is drawn from the patient in case she needs a transfusion during the operation.
Before going into the operating room, the surgeon marks where the incisions need to made on the breasts.
An incision is made around the areola and down underneath the folds of the breasts. The nipple is temporarily repositioned or removed.
Skin, fat and breast tissues are cut and removed. The skin is then brought together to reshape the breast.
The extra skin and tissues are sent to a pathologist, who will check them for tumors and other diseases.

runningjoke in our family because we're all flat-chested. I guess deep down it made her feel uncomfortable about the way she looked."
Most breast implant surgeries cost about $5,000, while breast reductions are more expensive, said W. Thomas Lawrence, chief of plastic surgery at KU Medical Center. Although breast reductions cost more, he said, insurance companies usually covered the surgeries.
Although physical pain is often associated with plastic surgery, the pain usually hits the wallet first.
With a $3,200 loan and $800 in savings, Smith had breast implant surgery last June.
Bianey's surgery costs totaled about $26,000, which included the surgery and her overnight stay in the hospital. She paid $800, and her insurance company, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, covered the rest.
The pain of looking good
The insurance company covers breast reductions because of health problems, but it does not
cover breast implants because they are considered cosmetic surgery, said Graham Bailey, director of public relations for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas.
The only scenario in which the company might cover breast implant surgeries is for a woman who has undergone a mastecyto, or the removal of a breast, because of cancer, Bailey said.
"Some companies feel that they already removed the cancer so they don't have to do anything further than that," he said. "They also feel that reconstruction of the breast to gain symmetry is not medically necessary. But we think it's important for the mental state of the patient so they can continue the healing process."
Lawrence said the amount of time spent in surgery was different for implants and reductions. Implant surgeries take about two hours, while reductions take about four hours.
"Since breast implant surgeries do not take long to do, patients can go home the same day while reduction patients usually stay overnight," he said. "The reason is because the incisions are a lot more extensive for breast reductions."
Recovery was excruciating for
both Blaney and Smith.
"At that time, I thought getting implants was not worth it because it was the most painful thing that I have ever experienced," Smith said. "You don't want to move, you don't want to smile because you can't move your arms."
For two months after her surgery, Blaney was not allowed to lift her hands above her head because she might rip her stitches, she said. She also could not immerse her upper body in water because of risk of infection.
"You watch those MTV specials about plastic surgery and a week later, they're bouncing around buying new clothes," Blaney said. "That is total BS because you're fatigued for about three months after surgery and your body feels sore all of the time."
Although pain and soreness varies from person to person, discomfort usually lasts about six weeks, said Barbara Anne McGrath, the Prairie Village plastic surgeon who performed Blaney's operation. It also takes about two years for the breasts to completely heal after a reduction or implant surgery.
Lawrence said that one thing that did not go away were the physical scars, although they
"They're lighter and lighter but I'll have scars for the rest of my life." Blaney said.
It's been almost two years since Blaney had her surgery, and her scars are still pinkish-colored, she said.
Scars are not the only risk involved with breast reduction and implant surgeries.
became less noticeable over time.
With any operation, risks include bleeding and infection, Lawrence said. Breast reduction and implant surgeries also carry other risks, such as the inability to breast feed or a loss of sensation around the nipple.
McGrath said patients who had breast implants might have to get them redone because the implants could leak and deflate.
Smith said she would get her implants redone if they leaked.
"Even though it's expensive and painful, once you have them, you like them even more than before you got them done," Smith said. "I am proportional now and I feel great."
Breasts have always played an important role in the way western society looks at women's bodies, said Marta Vicente, assistant professor in women's studies and history.
Media and society's ideal woman
Although breasts are recognized as maternal, they have also been considered objects of sexual allure, she said.
"Throughout history, women have always wanted perfect breasts," Vicente said. "In the 1920s, you were supposed to flatten your chest because big breasts were not in fashion. Now, bigger seems better."
In her 20 years of practice, McGrath said she had advised a couple of women not to get implants because they were doing it for the wrong reasons.
Although Smith's family and close friends know about her surgery, she said she did not tell many people because of the negative stereotypes about implants. For this reason, she asked not to be pictured in this story.
"If it's to please a boyfriend or a significant other then that's not a reason," she said. "I spend a lot of time trying to talk patients out of an augmentation if I don't think the expectations are realistic, or that the patient will be mature enough to understand the risks involved."
"People think that if you get implants, you want them for attention and to be more attractive," Smith said. "I like the way my breasts look, but I got them because I wanted to feel more comfortable with my own body, not for attention."
Magazines, television and the Internet bombard people with pictures of the ideal woman: thin and beautiful. That portrayal is one reason why negative body image is a problem, said John Wade, staff psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services.
"The media does not represent most women's body shapes because most women aren't a size two or three," Wade said.
While women get plastic surgery for various reasons, the media likely influence their decisions, he said.
Blaney had a reduction because of health reasons but said body image also affected her decision.
"The media is not explicitly saying 'Get plastic surgery,' but it's the unspoken message when they show pictures of Barbie Doll-like bodies," Wade said. "That image is unattainable because most people don't have a makeup artist that spends a day on them."
"I couldn't buy clothes because if I wore a tight shirt, my breasts would stick out," Blaney said. "I started to wear baggier clothes, especially bigger tops, in college so people would stop staring at me. I felt kind of exposed."
'No regrets'
Smith said bigger breasts made her life more fun because she could exercise and wear clothes that showed cleavage.
After surgery, Smith went from a 34A to a 36C, and Blaney went from a 34DDD to a 32C.
"I have more self-esteem," she said. "Everyone has something that they would like to change about themselves and I felt that I needed to change my breasts so I changed it. I'm happier."
For Blaney, smaller breasts also allow her to exercise and buy clothes that fit.
"They are so nicely proportioned and so much more manageable," Blaney said. "I feel more comfortable in my skin because it's not as embarrassing anymore."
Blaney does not have any more back pains but still hunches her body out of habit, she said.
People have stopped staring at Blaney's chest. Sometimes she misses the attention, but she said the benefits of the surgery outweighed the sacrifices.
"I find moments of jealousy when I'm at the mail and I see someone with big breasts who's getting all of the attention," Blaney said. "At the same time, I wouldn't trade it because I feel a whole lot healthier. I have no regrets."

Sweep brings accolades
Coaches, media move baseball team into poll

College baseball was at its best this weekend when Kansas swept then No. 6 Louisiana State.
It was big enough that coach Ritch Price received 59 e-mails and more than 20 phone calls from coaches and media across the country.
The three victories boosted the Jayhawks' record to 9-3, and also gave them their first top-25 ranking since joining the Big 12 Conference. They were voted No. 21 by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.
"In my 25 years of coaching, I have never been more proud of a team than I
The three-game sweep of the Tigers began in dramatic fashion, as the Jayhawks won 9-6 in 10 innings, capped by a home run by senior Kevin Wheeler in the 10th. Wheeler also started the game on the pitcher's mound and pitched six solid innings.

"This weekend was unbelievable," Spanish said. "It was something that you dream about as a kid. It says a lot about the amount of talent we have on our team, and to do it under a new coach was real special."
Price said focus will be the first topic he addresses in tomorrow's practice. He gave the team yesterday off.
Now it is time for the Jayhawks to put that "unbelievable" weekend in the past and focus on the team's future games, which begin this Friday at home against Eastern Michigan.
"The bar for this team has definitely been raised," Price said. "They proved that they are capable of beating anyone in the country, so now they have to do it on a consistent basis."
Both Price and Spanish feel the threegame sweep against the Tigers will prove as a wake-up call to the Big 12 Conference.
"The competition in the Big 12 Conference is off the charts." Price said. "Hopefully, this proves to the other teams in the conference that we will be able to compete with them and play hard."
The Jayhawks will return to practice today to prepare for Eastern Michigan. Kansas plays a three-game set against Eastern Michigan and will host Arkansas next week.
"We have to carry this momentum that we have and play hard every time we take the field," Spanish said. "We have to play every game like it is against a nationally ranked team and not underestimate anybody we play."

Officials to review pushing incident
Scuffle between players leads to evaluation possibly extra running
By Shane Mettlen

Big 12 Conference officials said yesterday they would review the tape of an altercation between Kansas and Iowa State men's basketball players, though they do not expect to hand out any further punishment.
The incident occurred with almost 11 minutes remaining in the Jayhawks 70-51 victory over the Cyclones at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday. Tensions were already running high after Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy was ejected for arguing a charging foul on Jackson Vroman, which had already been overturned. One minute later, Vroman picked up his fifth foul and shoved Kansas forward Wayne Simien, who had missed the Jayhawks' last 11 games

with a shoulder injury. As Simien moved toward Vroman, Iowa State's Jared Homan stepped between the two and Kansas guard Aaron Miles shoved Homan from behind.

Kansas coach Roy Williams told ESPN that he would review the tape and determine what action to take.
12 office said they were waiting to receive tapes of the game so the situation can be evaluated further. This process usually takes three to five days. However, it took 10 days for the office to receive tapes and evaluate game clock issues in a game between Oklahoma and Texas Tech earlier this season.
Officials in the Big
"I was disappointed in Aaron's involvement," Williams said. "There may be some extra running for Aaron."
Both Miles and Vroman have publicly apologized for their actions.

Assistant coach brings experience
Edited by Jason Elliott
"Ed's skill as an offensive line coach will enhance our entire offense," Mangino said. "His expertise in the run game makes him a valuable addition to our staff."
In filling the final vacancy on his coaching staff, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino might have just filled a larger hole on his team.
Mangino announced the hiring of Ed Warinner last week. Warinner will lead the offensive line for the Jayhawks. The former Air Force assistant coach brings valuable experience to the Kansas staff, as he will try to improve a Jayhawk rushing attack that finished ninth in the Big 12 Conference last year.
Air Force led the nation in rushing with Warinner at the reigns of its offensive line, averaging 307.8 yards per game. The Falcons finished with an 8-5 record and earned a bid in the San Francisco Bowl.
Air Force also had the third highest ground outputs in 2000 and 2001, both under Warinner's direction.
An Ohio native, Warinner will enter his 19th year of coaching this season. He spent 13 years at Army, including seven years as offensive line coach and two years as offensive coordinator. During his time at Army, the Black Knights led the nation in rushing three times.
Warinner also coached at Akron and Michigan State from 1984 to 1986.
The Jayhawks could use help in the running game. Kansas averaged just 126.2 rushing yards per game last year. Starting tailback Clark Green was unable to be a consistent force out of the backfield for the Jayhawks, as he managed just 68 yards per game.
Tight end coach Brandon Blaney will help Warinner with the offensive line duties. Blaney took over the offensive line position last year for the Jayhawks after the resignation of Ken Conatser two games into the season.

Tennis cuts didn't keep men from competing
The team was the 2000-2001 Kansas men's tennis team.
To some Kansas sports fans, it was the team that could have been. To some it was the team that it was too late to save. And to others, it was the team that no one knew even existed.
On March 4,2001, then-Kansas Athletics Director Bob Frederick announced that the University of Kansas would be cutting both its men's tennis program and men's swimming and diving program.
The cut was made to save the University $600,000 in the 2001-2002 athletic season and $3.6 million over the five-year span after dropping the programs. In the month following the programs' eliminations, the buzz among students, faculty and fellow student-athletes was negative toward Frederick's decision. The University Daily Kansan Free For All was a major forum for most opinions, but the simple fact was that when the teams existed, there was rarely anyone there to support them.
In hindsight, it was a decision that Frederick had to make, but he was still good to his word on the athletes who wished to stay at Kansas. For those who remained, he promised to fund their scholarships, but for those who wished to leave, he promised to help them find similar opportunities in other programs.
The athletes who left have moved on to programs where their efforts are more appreciated than they were here. Two examples are Pete Stroer and Eleazar Magallan — both former Kansas tennis players who have moved on to top-10 programs.
Stroer, originally from Salina, played his first two years of collegiate tennis at Kansas just like Magallan. Also like Magallan, Stroer left Kansas for a top-10 program by choosing Texas. The Longhorns, currently ranked ninth, also lean on their Kansas transfer for senior leadership. Stroer leads Texas this spring in victories in singles play with 14. He is following in the footsteps of another Kansas transfer, Rodrigo Echagary, who was a leader for the Longhorns last year and left Kansas at the same time as Stroer.
After the program was cut, Magallan headed south for the warmth of Gainesville, Fla. Magallan, now a senior, is ranked 178th in the nation in singles and, along with his partner, senior Olivier Lavant, is ranked 37th in doubles. Already this season, Magallan has moved into a tie for fifth place all-time in the Florida record books with 80 career doubles victories. As Florida, currently ranked sixth in the nation, is pushing for a national championship, Magallan's senior leadership has shown up just at the right time in the early spring. So far in the spring schedule, Magallan is third on the team with six victories in singles competition. For Magallan, originally from Saltillo, Mexico, his amateur career has taken a U-turn after heading north for two years in Lawrence. His southward journey has brought sunny results.
For Stroer, when Kansas cut men's tennis, it did not mean another step in a journey away from home, but a first step.
When men'sennis and men'sswimming and diving were eliminated at Kansas two years ago, many members of both teams decided to stay in Lawrence and finish what they started. For others, Lawrence and the University simply did not offer enough to silence their inner athletic desire.
In an era when money drives athletics, both at the professional and college level, Magallan and Stroer were just two of the many Kansas athletes who did not let the politics of sports silence the will to win.

If they win, Kansas fans will come
"Hey Ryan Wood, maybe the Kansas baseball team will start getting some recognition when they start winning some games."
That comment ran in last Wednesday's Sports Free for All, two days before the Kansas baseball team defeated sixth-ranked Louisiana State, en route to a three-game sweep. It was the first time in three years that Louisiana State had been swept at home. It was the first time since Kansas joined the Big 12 that it has been ranked in the Top 25.
Will the bandwagon begin?
Will hordes of Kansas students fill the bleachers, cheering on the baseball team, clad in Kansas basketball T-shirts? Or will the team's recognition be limited to Fieldhouse campers stepping out for some fresh air?
Perhaps it will be the former. The team is ranked No.21 by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and season box seat sales are just over the halfway mark.
"It's the most we've taken in moneywise in the three years I've been," said Rajeeb Hossain, a clerk in the ticket office. Hossain said a few people who called about purchasing season tickets had never bought any before but mentioned the LSU sweep as their reason for calling now.
Last Wednesday, Kansas played its home opener against Western Illinois and 275 people showed up, with room for 2,225 more in Hoglund Ballpark. About 50 of the 275 were students. Sure, the game was somewhat impromptu and the weather was so cold that the stadium pines were frozen, but 50 students?
Coach Ritch Price has done his best to stir up interest in the team. He and his staff have worked the phones, trying to get people to purchase season tickets.
And then Kansas knocked off LSU.
Somebody crank up the bandwagon.
The bad news is that Kansas fans are as fair-weathered as they come. The interest in Kansas baseball may not last long—the sharp spike in ticket sales because Kansas faces defending national champ Texas May 2, 3 and 4. The Texas series is at the tail end of a brutal stretch that sees Kansas playing Baylor, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas A&M—all in the Top 25. Kansas also faces Wichita State, the No.27 team and a regional powerhouse.
If the Jayhawks suffer a string of losses against those teams you can bet that only a handful of fans will be at the home finale against Washburn.

Lead rusher to transfer to Missouri this summer

The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — David Richard, who as a freshman led Michigan State in rushing last season, has signed a financial-aid agreement with Missouri and will transfer to that school, the Tigers said today.
The 6-foot-2-inch, 230-pound St. Louis native will finish the current semester at Michigan State, then enroll at Missouri this summer, Missouri said. In transferring, Richard will have to sit out the 2003 season but have three years of remaining eligibility.
"We're very pleased to have someone of David's caliber join our program," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "He is a fine football player and a solid young man who is looking forward to playing in front of his family and friends. He will be
M
an outstanding addition to our program."
Richard's father, David Richard Sr.,
said last month that his son was home-sick and might transfer to Missouri and that the move "has nothing to do with Michigan State."
Richard, a consensus prep All-American in 2001 at St. Louis' Hazelwood East, was the Spartans' top rusher with 127 carries for 654 yards, a 4.9-yards-percarry average and five touchdowns over 12 games. He also had 14 catches for 88 yards.
Richard was projected to be the featured back in the spread offense of new Spartans coach John L. Smith.

The Associated Press
Arizona was No.1 in the Associated Press men's college basketball poll for the fourth time in five weeks yesterday, while three teams moved in at the bottom of the Top 25, two for the first time this season.
The Wildcats (20-2) beat UCLA and Southern California by an average of more than 30 points last week to hold the top spot for a second straight week and 10th time this season.
Arizona received 59 first-place votes and 1,786 points from the national media panel, while Kentucky (20-3), which has the nation's longest current winning streak at 14 games, moved up one spot to second.
Kentucky, which beat Georgia and LSU last week, had the other 13 votes for No.1 and 1,738 points. Kentucky has its highest ranking since they were No.2 in the final poll of the 1995-96 season; they went on to win the national championship.
Missouri, Connecticut and Saint Joseph's fell out of the poll, the first time this season Missouri and Connecticut have not been in the rankings. Both teams were ranked in the Preseason Top 25, meaning 12 of the schools in the season's first poll are no longer ranked.
Utah, Purdue and Dayton moved into the rankings this week at Nos. 23-25, the first appearance for Utah and Dayton since the 2000-01 season.
Texas moved up three spots to No. 3, while Louisville, which had its 17-game winning streak snapped last Wednesday at Saint Louis, dropped from second to fourth.
Oklahoma stayed at No. 5 and was followed by Kansas, Florida, Duke, Pittsburgh and Wake Forest.
Florida was ranked No. 1 the one week Arizona wasn't in the last five polls. The Gators (20-4) dropped from first to fourth following a loss at Kentucky and then fell another three places this week after losing at Tennessee.
Marquette was No.11 and was followed by Notre Dame, Maryland, Xavier, Syracuse, Oklahoma State, Creighton, California, Mississippi State and Illinois.
The last five ranked teams were Stanford, Georgia, Utah, Purdue and Dayton.
Utah (19-4) moved into the poll on a

The Utes, whose only loss in 2003 was 58-56 at San Diego State, were ranked in the preseason poll and for the first four weeks in 2000-01, getting as high as No. 12.
Purdue (16-6) was ranked No. 24 two weeks ago but fell out with consecutive road losses to Minnesota and Northwestern. The Boilermakers beat Illinois in their only game last week.
Dayton (18-4) came into the poll having won 11 of 12 games, the only loss at Xavier. The Flyers, who were ranked for one week early in 2000-01, started their recent run after an 85-74 loss at Duke with an overtime win over Marquette.
Missouri (15-6) fell out from 21st after losing 73-71 to Texas A&M and beating Kansas State 71-63, dropping to .500 in its last 10 games.
Coach sues for gender discrimination
EMPORIA — The women's volleyball coach at Emporia State University is suing the school for $200,000 on the grounds of gender discrimination, a hostile work environment, unequal pay and Title IX violations.
The Associated Press
Maxine Mehus claimed in a news release that she is paid $15,000 to $20,000 less a year than her male head coach colleagues at Emporia State.
Mehus, who has coached volleyball at Emporia State for 15 years, is paid $46,499 annually, according to figures released on Sunday by athletic director Kent Weiser.
According to those figures, Mehus is the fifth-highest paid of nine coaches at the school. The highest-paid coach is second-year football coach Dave Wiemers, who makes $63,000 per year.
The only other female coach is second-year softball coach Stacy Gemeinhardt, the lowest paid of the nine coaches at $24.508.
Emporia State does not have a men's volleyball program.
"This hasn't been a spur-of-the-
moment situation," Mehus said Sunday. "This has happened over several months' time, probably the better part of two years.
"I've pursued avenues on campus to get this resolved, to no avail. It left me with no other alternative than to pursue this in this manner. I feel strongly that the facts of the case will prove themselves out."
Mehus, who is 451-201 at Emporia State, is also upset that she has only a 10-month contract and has teaching duties. Only three of the nine coaches have 12-month contracts. Mehus is one of three coaches with teaching responsibilities.
"We've been working with coach Mehus on some of these things for a while, so (the lawsuit) was not a complete surprise," Weiser said. "We take it very seriously. We have always respected the law, and I respect her right to file such a suit. But we also firmly believe that the accusations have no merit, and we will vigorously defend ourselves."
In the lawsuit, Mehus claims that she is receiving fewer resources toward the volleyball team's overall budget.
"We take it very seriously. We have always respected the law, and I respect her right to file such a suit. But we also firmly believe that the accusations have no merit, and we will vigorously defend ourselves."
Kent Weiser Emporia State athletic director
travel accommodations and supplies. Mehus also claims that she is working in an atmosphere "of open hostility toward women and women's athletics."
Mehus coached volleyball at Peru State College in Nebraska from 1979- 88 compiling a 154-124-18 record. She has a career record of 605-325- 18.
No.3 Texas defeats Texas Tech, 77-65
The Hornets were 20-13 last season and finished fifth in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association with a 7-9 conference record.
Texas stays undefeated at home this season
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Brandon Mouton hit five 3-pointers in the first half to spark No. 3 Texas to a 77-65 victory yesterday night over Texas Tech, which played without suspended guard Andre Emmett, the Big 12's leading scorer.
Texas Tech coach Bob Knight suspended Emmett, who averages 21.5 points a game, and forward Nick Valdez after the two missed the team's morning walkthrough. The suspensions were announced about 40 minutes before tipoff.
T
Mouton finished with 21 points on 6-of-8 shooting from 3-point range as Texas (18-4, 9-2 Big 12) stayed undefeated in 12 home games this season.
Robert Tomaszek scored 14 for Texas Tech, which has lost three of its last four.
I. J. Ford added 15 points and seven assists as Texas won for the 12th straight time over the Red Raiders (14-8, 4-7).
Texas Tech was without its best shooter but it was
F
Texas that struggled to score in the early going. The Longhorns started the game just 4-of-16 from the floor over the first 10 minutes.
The game was tied at 18 when Mouton finally got going. After missing his first 3-point attempt, Mouton hit five in a row, including consecutive shots that keyed a 14-2 run to put the Longhorns ahead 32-20.
Mouton's fifth 3-pointer made it 42-26 before Texas went into halftime leading 44-31.
Texas Tech got outrebounded 41-34.
but still outscored Texas in the paint 42-24.
However, it wasn't enough as the Red Raiders struggled to find some way to keep up with Texas' sharpshooters. The Longhorns went 10-of-20 from behind the 3-point arc.
Texas Tech, meanwhile, was just 3-of-12 on 3-pointers and forward Kasib Powell, who averages 15.7 points, picked up his fourth foul early in the second half and was ineffective for much of the game.
The Red Raiders managed to pull within 11, 49-38, when Will Chavis hit a 3-pointer with 17 minutes to play.
That's when Texas closed the door.
Ford hit consecutive baskets, Sydmill Harris hit a 3-pointer and Brian Boddicker finished a fast break with a two-handed dunk in a 11-0 run over the next three minutes that made it 60-38.
A late Texas Tech run after Texas had benched its starters cut the final margin to 12.

Royals' Wilson competing for job after 18-month recovery
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kris Wilson's right elbow is sound again for the first time in nearly 18 months.
That's good news for the right-hander, who's trying to win a job — any job — on the Kansas City Rovals' staff.
Wilson ended the 2001 season with a tender elbow and started last season on the Royals' disabled list with right triceps tendinitis.
"This is the first time since the middle of the 2001 season that my arm has felt good," Wilson
Royal
said. "Last year when I came into spring training, it wasn't good.
"It feels good to come in healthy and strong. I can't even compare this spring training to
how I felt last spring training."
When the team broke camp last March, Wilson was left behind to rehab his arm in Haines City, Fla. When his arm was ready, Wilson toured the Royals' minor league system, going a combined 5-3 with a 2.08 earned run average. In three stops, he had 60 strikouts — to just six walks — in 82 1/3 innings.
"I was counting the days until I
left Florida," Wilson said. "My spring training lasted like 90-something days. It was a crazy year."
Wilson went 2-0 in 12 relief appearances when he was promoted to Kansas City, but the rest of his numbers were poor: 8.20 ERA, 29 hits, including seven home runs, in 18 2/3 innings.
All told, he threw only 90 1/3 innings all year.
"I was rusty," Wilson said.
"That is half of what I want to throw."
He played winter ball in the Dominican Republic to increase his innings, going 1-3 with a 3.46 ERA in 10 games, walking five and striking out 19 in 41 2/3 innings.
"I had success down there and I'm just looking to carry it over here," Wilson said. "It was a short offseason, but to me a good off-season. It felt good to go out there
and go six or seven innings and feel as strong as I did in the first inning."
Wilson prefers starting,but could wind up as a long reliever.
"I'll do what they want me to do, but I feel I'm better when I get the ball five days," he said.
General manager Allard Baird said he looked at Wilson more in a bullpen role but could use him as a starter if other pitchers don't perform well.
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Greg Maddux is used to setting records. On Monday, he claimed another.
The four-time Cy Young Award winner avoided an arbitration hearing by agreeing to the largest one-year contract in baseball history, a $14.75 million deal with the Atlanta Braves.
The previous record for a one-year contract was pitcher David Cone's $12 million deal with the New York Yankees in 2000.
Maddux became a free agent after winning 16 games last season, but failed to draw much interest in the open market. He accepted the Braves' offer of arbitration in December, binding him to the team for the 2003 season.
Maddux had asked for $16 million and the Braves countered with an offer of $13.5 million.
The two sides split the difference, agreeing on a contract right in the middle and avoiding a hearing that was scheduled for Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
"Greg called me (Sunday) and told me he had indications from the team that they wanted to make a step toward settlement," said Maddux's agent, Scott Boras. "He directed me to look at that, which we did."
Maddux, who will be 37 shortly after opening day, went 16-6 with a 2.62 ERA last season. He tied Cy Young as the only pitchers in baseball history to win at least 15 games in 15 consecutive seasons.
"We're delighted this issue is resolved and that we can now focus on his stature as a pitcher and his production for our team," Braves general manager John Schuerholz said.
Maddux is coming off one of his toughest seasons. Nagging injuries (back, calf, neck, side)
imited the right-hander to just 1991-3 innings — fewest since he was a rookie with the Chicago Cubs in 1987. He averaged only 5.9 innings per start and failed to pitch a complete game for the first time in his 16-year career.
Maddux was the first pitcher to win four consecutive Cy Young awards, a feat he accomplished from 1992-95. Arizona's Randy Johnson tied the record last season with his fourth in a row.
In 2002, Maddux made $13.1 million in the final season of a $57.5 million, five-year contract.
If Maddux's case had gone to a hearing, he was assured of breaking the arbitration record, win or lose. Braves outfielder Andruw Jones received the highest amount ever from an arbitrator, getting $8.2 million in 2001.
"We wanted to do a one-year deal because Greg has to make some personal decisions with regard to his family." Boras said.
Maddux, who lives in Las Vegas during the offseason, has a 9-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. There has been speculation he would like to finish his career with a team closer to his home.
Likewise, the Braves are not expected to pursue the aging pitcher beyond 2003. Maddux will be their highest-paid player, and the team is intent on trimming salaries after claiming losses of more than $20 million each of the last two years.
It appears the cost-cutting moves already are working. With several lesser salaries still to be determined, the Braves are projected to have a payroll of around $91.3 million at the start of this season — a cut from last year's $94.5 million on opening day.
Even so, Atlanta should remain among the top 10 highest-spending teams in 2003.
Orioles pitcher dies of heatstroke
The Associated Press
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
— Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler died yesterday, less than 24 hours after complaining of dizziness during a spring training workout.
Team officials said the 23-year-old prospect was pronounced dead at Northridge Medical Center, where he had been in intensive care overnight. His wife, Kiley, due to deliver the couple's first child in April, was at his bedside.
The 6-foot-2, 239-pound Bechler was pale and feeling lightheaded Sunday while completing his final conditioning run at Fort Lauderdale Stadium.
The initial diagnosis was heat exhaustion and dehydration, but his condition worsened after he arrived at the hospital by ambulance.
William Goldiner, the Orioles' team physician, said doctors who treated Bechler believe
Orioles
he died of
"multi-
organ
failure
due to
heat-
stroke."
He said
Bechler's body temperature reached 108 degrees.
"He would rebound at times. They thought they were getting ahead of it, and then another organ system would fail," Goldiner said at a news conference at the stadium.
Bechler, a third-round draft pick in 1998, made his major league debut last September, going 0-0 with a 13.50 ERA in three relief appearances. He was expected to begin this season with the club's new Triple-A affiliate in Ottawa.
He spent most of last season at Triple-A Rochester, going 6-11 with a 4.09 ERA in 24 starts.
Bechler was said to have reported to camp overweight. When asked about the pitcher's
conditioning, manager Mike Hargrove was quoted as saying it was "not good."
Goldiner said he wasn't aware of any evidence that Bechler had been taking a dietary supplement such as ephedrine, an amphetamine-like stimulant that has been linked to heatstroke and heart attacks.
Ephedrine has been banned by the NCAA and NFL but not by Major League Baseball.
The case was referred to the Broward County medical examiner's office.
The players were briefed about Bechler's condition during a clubhouse meeting before Monday's workout. They were summoned inside a short while later and told of his death.
"They told us about the situation, and everybody was in shock," Orioles pitcher Rodrigo Lopez said.
Bechler fell down while running drills on Sunday and Hargrove said he could tell Bechler
wasn't feeling well toward the end of the run.
"He was about 60 percent of the way through it when we noticed that he was a little white-faced," Hargrove said. "He was leaning against a fence
... which isn't unusual when guys get tired. We put him on a cart and brought him in and called the paramedics."
The National Weather Service said that at noon Sunday, the temperature in Fort Lauderdale was 81 degrees and the humidity was 74 percent.
Bechler's parents did not learn of his death until they arrived in Miami on Monday, Orioles executive vice president Jim Beattie said. His parents had traveled from their Oregon home after Bechler fell ill.
Bechler's wife was driving from Oregon to Florida when she learned he became ill. She took a flight from Salt Lake City on Sunday and got to Fort Lauderdale shortly before midnight.
Weather delays sporting events in Northeast
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Except for the twice-delayed Maryland-Wake Forest showdown, the only major sports in the mid-Atlantic region yesterday were sledding and snow-shoveling.
A weekend storm that dumped up to 4 feet of snow wiped out many Presidents Day sporting events, including numerous college basketball games and a Washington Wizards game on Michael Jordan's 40th birthday.
The Wizards' holiday matine against the Toronto Raptors was rescheduled for March 4. The evening game at the MCI Center
— No. 7 Pittsburgh at Georgetown — was rescheduled for Tuesday night.
Two other Big East games were called off: Villanova at Seton Hall and Miami at Providence.
Other Division I men's basketball postponements included Florida A&M at Howard, South Carolina State at Delaware State, Ohio at Akron, Chattanooga at Virginia Military, Appalachian State at Wofford and East Tennessee State at North Carolina-Greensboro.
Maryland and Wake Forest postponed their first-place Atlantic Coast Conference battle from Sunday night to yesterday afternoon at 4 p.m. The tipoff was then moved back to 5 p.m. as
school officials worked to properly staff the Comcast Center and make it safe for the fans.
Wake Forest arrived in College Park on Friday, anticipating the storm, and the officials also were in town. An exception was made to the ACC rule stating that a game should be played if both teams and the officials can make it to the arena.
Several racetracks canceled cards for Sunday and yesterday, and several minor league hockey games and women's college basketball games also were called off.
The storm was the worst to hit the mid-Atlantic and central Appalachian states in seven years. It caused at least 16 deaths and left 49 inches of snow in
Maryland's Garrett County in the central Appalachians.
Washington's Reagan National airport was closed yesterday. Baltimore-Washington International, which recorded its second-highest snowfall total ever, was attempting to reopen yesterday evening. Dulles International Airport managed to keep at least one runway open and had very limited commercial traffic.
Horse racing at Laurel Park in Maryland was postponed Sunday and yesterday. Maryland officials were forced to shuffle the two biggest races of the winter meet, the Barbara Fritchie Handicap and the General George Handicap. Both $200,000 events were moved to Saturday.

Michigan scandal nears its completion
By Seth Klempner Michigan Daily via U-wire University of Michigan
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Ed Martin scandal, which started seven years ago to the week, is inching toward its deathbed. But it will be at least six to eight weeks before it finally breathes its last.
An eight-member team representing Michigan headed down to the Hyatt Regency hotel in Coral Gables, Fla., to meet before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions Thursday. The group will be there to answer questions regarding $616,000 in "extra benefit" payments made to four former Michigan players by Martin, a former basketball booster for the Wolverines.
The meeting starts this morning and is expected to last most of the day. Similar meetings have been known to last more than 10 hours, with detailed questions being directed toward the Michigan team and NCAA investigators.
The wheels were set in motion to bring this meeting about on the morning of Nov. 7, when Michigan released its response to the NCAA's letter of inquiry and levied self-imposed sanctions on its basketball program. Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman called it "a day of great shame."
The sanctions included a one year postseason ban, two years of probation and the removal of championship banners from Crisler Arena. Michigan also returned approximately $450,000 that it received from postseason play during the time of the alleged payments.
Head coach Tommy Amaker said he hoped the NCAA won't deliver further penalties.
"We wouldn't have done them if we didn't think it was right," he said. "We feel we have done what is right, and that is what we are always going to do and that is what we are going to say."
Steve Fisher and Brian Ellerbe
both served terms as head coach during the time that the NCAA infractions occurred.
The NCAA's Committee on Infractions can choose to deliver further sanctions on the basketball program or simply accept the University's self-imposed penalties. The University expects to receive a response from the NCAA within six to eight weeks of Saturday's hearing.
I was expecting to deal with this issue the very first week I came on the job, and three years later we are finally just about on the goalline." Michigan Athletic Director Bill Martin said.
The NCAA Committee is composed of 10 people, and is chaired by Tom Yeager, commissioner of the Colonial Athletic Association. Seven of the members are from NCAA member institutions and three are from the general public.
Making the trip down to represent Michigan will be Coleman, Amaker, Bill Martin, University
General Counsel Marvin Kristlov, director of NCAA compliance Judie Van Horn, faculty representative Percy Bates, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany and NCAA infractions expert, Mike Glazier of the Kansas City law firm of Bond, Schoeneck and King.
"I think it is important that President Coleman set the bar with respect to how important compliance with respect to NCAA rules are to Michigan." Martin said. "She will set the tone for our overall presentation. She is a very experienced, and an incredible leader at a major institution, so she adds tremendous credibility."
Glazier has been helping Michigan investigate the scandal from the very beginning. According to Michigan spokesman Bruce Madej, Glazier will be the primary respondent to questions directed at the University, but members of the committee can direct questions to any of the representatives.
Mouton's contribution overlooked
By Darren W. Dunnitt Daily Texan via U-wire University of Texas
AUSTIN, Texas — Unless you enjoy shouldering the blame for losses and don't mind being overlooked after wins, don't envy Brandon Mouton.
At 6-foot-4, Mouton is an undersized swingman asked to play inside and outside on both ends of the floor. He plays on a team with a shortage of pure scorers in a conference with an abundance of suffocating defenses.
Yet he seems to savor his role as the X-Factor on a team working towards a national championship.
After back-to-back losses to Notre Dame and Arizona -- games in which Mouton averaged five-and-a-half points on 4-of-17 shooting from the field -- much of the finger pointing was aimed at Texas' leading scorer from a year ago.
"Everybody on this team has a role, and my role is to score. For our team to do well, I've got to put points on the board," Mouton said.
"Brandon is really struggling right now with his confidence," Texas head coach Rick Barnes said in the Dec. 15 Arizona postgame press conference. "There's no doubt that we need more production out of him to win these types of games."
In the Longhorns' 13 games since that time, Mouton has led the team in scoring in over half of those occasions, and has scored in double digits all but twice.
"I don't know what it was, but I think I was second guessing myself when I had open looks," Mouton said. "I don't ever want to force up 15 shots per game, but I realize that I have to take the open shots when I get them. I'm lucky enough to have teammates who believe in me and set a lot of screens to get me open."
But offense is only half the story for the junior from Lafayette, La. Playing for a coach who puts a premium on unyielding man-to-man defense, the Texas swingman has shut down his main counterpart in each of the last three games against top 10 opponents.
Kansas' Keith Langford scored 10 points (six below his average) on 5-of-13 shooting, Oklahoma State's Melvin Sanders scored two points (11 below his average) on 0-of-5 shooting, and Oklahoma's Ebi Ere scored six points (nine below his average) on 2-of-7 shooting.
Mouton's response to these subpar performances: "That might have had something to do with my defense," he said with a grin.
Not only did Mouton shut down those prime time scorers offensively, he also outscored and outrebounded them in all three games; this despite giving up inches and pounds to both Sanders and Ere.
"Some people were questioning my defense last year, and I worked really hard to improve that part of my game." Mouton said. "But a lot of it hus to do with our team defense."
Going up against that defense every day in practice is one of the reasons Mouton was named to the 2002 Big 12 All-Improved team. Though playing time was at a premium in the shadow of Maurice Evans during his freshman campaign, Mouton scored a season-high 18 points in the third game of his college career against eventual national champion Duke.
With Evans out of the picture last season, Mouton's minutes per game went from 20 to 30 and his points per game went from 5.4 to 13.7 -- the ninth-best scoring increase in Texas basketball history. His free throw shooting went from 50 percent to 76 percent, and his accuracy from downtown nearly reached the impressive 40 percent mark.
Mouton recently went over some of the drills that were responsible for his dramatic improvement: "Our offense consists of screens and cuts, so a lot of my shots are catch-and-
shoot off of screens." To simulate this, Mouton runs baseline towards a screener. If the defender follows him around the pick, Mouton will curl around the screener towards the basket. If the defender goes over the pick, Mouton will flair out away from the screen for a baseline jump shot. Either way, T.J. Ford usually puts the ball right in his hands.
To simulate this, Mouton sets up his defender with a dribble toward the baseline and crosses over toward the middle of the court to gain half a step. If the defender stays on his rear, then Mouton will rub off the screen and take the ball to the basket. If the defender goes around the screen, Mouton will take a step back for a wide-open jumper.
"We have a play called 'control,' where one of our big men sets a screen for me on the wing when I have the ball," Mouton said.
"As a guard, I do a lot of ball handling drills, where I'll set my man up with a stutter step one time, and then hit him up for a crossover the next." These are just a couple of the simple moves Mouton must make whenever he is isolated against a defender on the perimeter. These moves must be made quickly, and the ball must remain close to the ground, or else defenders coming from the help side can knock it away.
Iowa State freshman guards Big 12's best
By Jeff Raesch
iowa State Daily via U-wire
iowa State University
AMES, Iowa — He's a 19-year-old with defensive assignments on NBA prospects.
It's been a rocky beginning to the Big 12 for Iowa State's Adam Haluska, at least on the defensive side of the ball.
But Haluska isn't going to settle for average.
He never has.
As a three-time, all-state selection at Carroll High, the 6-foot-5 guard dropped just over 30 points and grabbed 9.9 rebounds per game his senior year. He finished his prep career a year ago with 2,209 points—the eighth best total in Iowa high school history.
And he said he would be a Cyclone before his sophomore year.
So far, Haluska has started every game at Iowa State, but the Big 12 competition has led to inconsistent play on the defensive end from the freshman.
"There have been times when I've played well and there have been times when I haven't played well at all," Haluska said.
With Haluska hounding him, Oklahoma's Ebi Ere, who led the Sooners with 17 points per game at that time, was just 1-of-10 for five points.
"I really had a good game against Ere," Haluska said. "I was really motivated going into it. I really did a lot of background checking on him and I knew what he could do and his tendencies."
Oklahoma State's leading scorer Tony Allen had to take 16 shots to get 15 points when he was in Haluska's radar.
Even though he's still wet behind the ears as far as Big 12 basketball is concerned, Haluska even held future NBA pick Rickey Paulding of Missouri in check to some extent when the Cyclones and Tigers hooked up last month. Paulding scored 15 points in the Missouri win.
But Kenny Taylor from Baylor went 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting. Last weekend, when Haluska guarded both Blair Wilson and Michel Morandais depending on the situation, the two combined to carry Colorado.
Wilson was 4-of-6 with 14 points and Morandais went 4-of-8 for 18 points.
"I think the Baylor game was one of those games where
IOWA STATE
CYLONES
I really struggled, but there are going to be times like that."
Haluska said.
The athletic guard said it has all been a tough transition, because his high school didn't play Larry Eustachy-type defense -- not even close.
"There are some times when I'm standing straight up and not really working hard, but I've got to keep my active feet and keep low. I've always got to make sure I beat my guy to spots. There are some times where I just concede the ball to my guy and just let him take it. I can't allow that. I've got to be the type of person that runs through plays and always denies my man the ball."
"We played a lot of zone defense, so its been a real transition," Haluska said. "In high school you get to sag off guys. You could let a guy go by you and block him on the way. It's something about college that has been hard to adjust to."
Haluska said he'd give himself a five on a scale of 1-to-10 on his defensive play so far. He said he's got lots of room for improvement, but ISU assistant coach Steve Barnes, who has been in the business since 1978 and has seen his share of freshmen, said Haluska is ahead of schedule.
"He's ahead when you think about who he is having to guard in these games," Barnes said. "There was a stretch there with Ebi Ere, Rickey Paulding and [Brandon] Mouton, guys like that are upperclassmen and very, very good players. He's nowhere near where he's going to be, but at the same time he's working hard at it every day and it's very important to him that he gets better."
"Every practice, he makes strides," Barnes said.
It's a daily improvement. Barnes said.
It's all part of a plan, Haluska said.
"My goal, by the time I graduate, is to become the best defensive player in the league and it's not going to come without work," Haluska said.
Barnes said Haluska's progress will eventually be shown on the grand stage.
"Then it's just a matter of him getting more comfortable and getting used to doing it in games."

Panel discusses war
Faculty forum presents international views

Four major world powers are pairing up within the United Nations Security Council over the possible war with Iraq. Yesterday, a panel of University of Kansas faculty members met to give a European perspective on U.S. international relations.
peanism in America," in the Thursday issue of New York Review of Books, inspired the faculty members to discuss the current international relations of the United States.
An article compelled Michael Mosser, courtesy assistant professor of European studies and information officer, and Diane Fourny, associate professor of French and Italian and Humanities and Western Civilization, to have the forum with the public. The article, "Anti-Euro-

Student perceptions of Europeans seem limited, Fourny said.
Fourny said that the faculty forum, "Are U.S.-European Relations in Crisis?", gave students, faculty and the public a different perspective about U.S. international relations.
"Students tend to not know very much except what they've picked up in western civilization," Fourny said. "Any strong opinions of the students tends to be that Europe exists today because America saved them from Nazism."
University of Kansas faculty members, Diane Fourny, Carl Strikwerda, Jonathan Clark, Juliet Kaarbo and Michael Mosser, present a forum, "Are U.S.-European Relations in Crisis?" yesterday afternoon. The faculty spoke about the tensions between European countries and the United States on a possible war with Iraq.
Ketley Weiss/Kansan
The forum discussed the war on terrorism, the NATO alliance, disarming Iraq, what Americans know about their Western partners and if the American media is involved in an "anti-European" campaign to discredit U.S. allies. Each of the panelists had a different topic that they discussed.

Women of Zeta Phi Beta strutted their stuff to promote Black History Month.
Pilar Pena/Kansan
Dorothy Pennington, associate professor of African and African American studies, shows pictures of African American women's fashion through history. Pennington was the speaker for the fashion show organized by Zeta Phi Beta as an event for the Black History month. The show took place at 7:30 p.m.yesterday atthe Kansas Union Ballroom.
The fashion show, "Fashions of Finer Womanhood," illustrated what a woman should and shouldn't wear.
"It's promoting classiness, and I don't think people think that is important anymore," said Candace Haines, St. Louis senior and Zeta Phi Beta president.
The festivities opened with a speech by Dorothy Pennington, who has been a professor of African and African American Studies at the University of Kansas for more than 25 years.
Pennington compared the activist history of Zeta Phi Beta, a traditionally African-American sorority founded in 1920, and African-American women activists like Sojourner Truth. She also explained how this has carried over to the present.
"The challenge is strong for us to be strong women," Pennington said. "We are doing the right thing by furthering our education to leave a legacy for our children."
Pennington emphasized this idea with readings from historical speeches and poems.
She recited a piece of the Sojourner Truth speech "Ain't I a Woman" from an 1851 women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio.
Pennington added information on skin, hair and health care throughout the fashion show.
Five members of Zeta Phi Beta dressed in appropriate and inappropriate clothing to demonstrate one of its founding principals — finer womanhood. To its members, finer womanhood means rising above the status quo, carrying oneself with dignity and respect and exemplifying the natural beauty of a woman.
The show focused on five different styles: business, business casual, school, casual and party attire.
The audience interacted with the models by pointing out what was inappropriate about the outfits. For example, one sorority member modeled a business outfit. Pennington and the women in the audience pointed out that the model's blouse wasn't buttoned up appropriately. Pennington also noted the importance of pantyhose while wearing a skirt.
The fashion show was followed by an informal discussion about whether a woman's appearance was reflective of who she is as a person.

The women modeled clothes that everyone could have in their closets from stores such as Old Navy and Express.
New cruisers to increase police patrol in Lawrence
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Lead-footed Lawrence residents might soon have to slow down in light of a new city police division.
While communities around the country face crippling budget crunches, local leaders have found a way to ensure Lawrence residents don't suffer any cuts in essential services, especially the patrol of the city's police.
Last year, the city of Lawrence applied for federal funds to create a new traffic safety division. The grant, administered through the Kansas Department of Transportation, gives the city more than $1.7 million over the next three years to pay for personnel and equipment to outfit the new division. The city is responsible for almost $450,000 in additional funding to pay for the program.
Those funds will pay the salaries of the six officers who form the division, all of whom now work on the patrol division, and six new cruisers, all equipped with mobile and hand-held radar systems. According to estimates from KDOT and the city manager's office, each vehicle will cost around $20,000.
City leaders think the new division will make for more defensive driving.

E-mail calls for theater help
Artistic director makes small request to fund addition
By Nikki Overfelt
noverfelt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
$6.32 is the magic number, according to John Staniunas.
On Feb. 12, Staniunas, the artistic director of the University Theatre and associate professor of theater and film, sent an e-mail to all University of Kansas undergraduate and graduate theater and film students asking them to donate $6.32 for a new theater space.
But why $6.32?
"It's affordable and people can still
feel like they are being supportive of something within their price range," Staniunas said. "If you get enough people to give $6.32 you wind up with a fair chunk of money."
In his e-mail, Staniunas said he had $6.32 one day and wondered what would happen if 2,000 people all donated $6.32 to the theater.
The e-mail is the first phase of the Stage Too! campaign to raise $50,000 for a third theater.
"The reason that we are doing this is because we have desperately needed a new theater for a long time." Staniunas said.
Right now the theater consists of the Inge Theatre, which seats 120 people, and the Crafton-Preyer Theatre, which seats 1,181. The theater needs a space that seats between 300 and 500, Staniu-nas said.
said.
Staniunas said he had received a positive response to the e-mail so far.
Patrick Craft, Kansas City, Mo., junior, received Staniunas' e-mail and said he thought this campaign was a good idea.
"I think we desperately need a theater," he said. "I like the way John went about it."
With the money that is raised in the campaign, chairs and risers will be put on the stage of the Crafton-Preyer Theatre to create a smaller theater, Staniunas said.

Staniunas will also send the e-mail out to all faculty and staff next week.

Baldwin City judge suspended, may be fired
BALDWIN CITY — Baldwin City Municipal Judge John Cochran has been suspended without pay after a confrontation with a Kansas City television crew.
Cochran told the KCTV reporter who
put a camera in front of him to "get that out of my face or I'll stick it where the sun don't shine."
Cochran said he reacted strongly to the reporter because he was being wrongly accused of falsifying a report to the state about his son, who was applying for a Kansas law license.
Baldwin City Mayor Ken Hayes called Cochran's actions filmed last Thursday by KCTV-TV "highly unprofessional." He said the city council's approval Monday night of Cochrans' suspension was meant to give him the opportunity to resign or be fired.
"But I said they'd have to fire me first," Cochran told the Lawrence Journal- World.

Officials request judge to jail nightclub owner
CHICAGO — A day after 21 people were killed in a nightclub stampede. Chicago officials asked a judge Tuesday to jail the owner for at least a year for allegedly operating the place in defiance of a shutdown order.
The city asked Cook County Circuit Judge Daniel Lynch to impose the criminal contempt of court sentence on Dwain Johann Kyles, saying he ignored the judge's previous order to shut down because of building code violations that included failing to provide enough exits.
"You don't have a right to disobey a court order until someone catches you or until a disaster happens," Mayor Richard M. Daley said.

Professor, program director announces retirement
By Lauren Airey
lairey@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After 26 years at the University of Kansas, the Honors Program director is retiring.
Barbara Schowen announced Feb. 7 that she would retire from her positions as director of the honors program and professor of chemistry in June. Schowen has served as director of the honors program for seven years and has taught chemistry for 26 years.
Schowen said she was trying to leave the honors program in good shape.
"I hope that we have increased
the visibility of the Honors Program and what it can do for really talented and motivated students," she said.
Kim Wilcox, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said a national search has begun to fill the honors program director position.
"We want the best person. Whether that's from KU or from another institution isn't nearly as important as getting the best person," Wilcox said. "The honors program represents the best of KU. It represents the place where the best students and best professors come together."
As honors program director,
Schowen oversaw the program
for about 1,500 of the University's top undergraduate students in a variety of academic fields.
Students in the honors program must keep a 3.25 grade point average to remain active and are encouraged to enroll in at least one honors course each semester.
The University's honors program began in 1956 with 33 students. When Schowen became director of the program in 1996, the program had 1,079 students. The program included 1,523 students last fall.
Each spring, Schowen and her staff recruit faculty from across the campus to teach 20 tutorial
classes of about 12 to 15 students each. Freshmen in the honors program are required to take a one-credit-hour tutorial course, with subjects varying from KU sports to international literature. The tutorial program began in the 1980s but continues to be an important aspect of the Honors Program.
Schowen also serves as the University's official representative for six nationally competitive scholarships. Schowen and her staff advise students for these competitions and help students apply for other competitive graduate and undergraduate scholarships.
"We always say to our students that it's hard to go through KU with only one adviser. A lot of students collect advisers," Schowen said. "But the tutorial system is still one of our trademarks. It is a way for freshmen to get to know a wonderful faculty member and other honors students."
About 40 students won competitive national scholarships under Schowen's direction.
Daniel Cabacungan, Lincoln,
Neb., senior, worked with
Schowen to complete his applications for the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships.
"I think the fact that there is someone to be a specific contact is more encouraging than just
notifying students about these scholarships," Cabacungan said. "She did a really excellent job in helping students prepare for scholarships, and I hope whoever comes in will be able to follow in her footsteps and help people."
Although Schowen looks forward to traveling with her husband and spending time with her grandchildren, she also looks forward to attending more University activities.
"I joke that I'm going to clean out my basement." Schowen said. "But my second grandchild will be born so I'll probably spend time with that child."
KUnited's platform promotes diversity on campus
Edited by Julie Jantzer
By Henry C. Jackson
cjjackson@kansan.com
cjkanan staff writer
Minority groups and the KUnited student government coalition gathered Friday at the Multicultural Resource Center to discuss minority issues on campus.
The meeting's focus—reaction to The University Daily Kansas's decision to run a satire article about eating dog meat to celebrate the Vietnamese new year—may have been less important than who organized the meeting.
Andy Knopp, Manhattan junior and potential student body presidential candidate for the KUnited coalition, and Catherine Bell, Coffeyville junior and potential student body vice presidential candidate, hosted what
was essentially a town hall meeting. While the meeting may or may not prove useful in avoiding future problems between minority groups and the Kansan, one point was made clear: As KUnited tries to maintain its majority rule in the Student Senate, minority issues will be a major focal point.
"We noticed it was really easy for coalitions to run on a platform that promotes diversity," Bell said. "We just decided actions speak louder than words."
Student body president Jonathan Ng and student body vice president Loren Malone focused last year's KUnited campaign on pursuing a new Multicultural Resource Center on campus. While progress has undoubtedly been made — a resolution to build a new multicultural resource center recently
passed in the Senate and now the project awaits funding — Knopp concedes that many hurdles still need to be cleared before the project can become a reality.
"I think you can look at KUnited and say that we've followed through," Knopp said. "But if progress isn't continued, I think it'd be fair to say we are a failure."
While KUnited's apparent commitment has been met with mostly positive response among minority groups, some leaders are still skeptical. C'Nea Hatches, Valapraiso, Ind., sophomore and the vice president of the Black Student Union, said she would take a wait-and-see approach in judging KUnited's commitment to multicultural issues.
"I don't know whether it's for political reasons or whether they are genuinely concerned," said
Hatches of KUnited's increased visibility at minority events in recent weeks. "Something that would change my mind is if they got really active about it, not now, but after the election."
What makes KUnited's focus on diversity more interesting is the perception that the coalition's chief rival for power in Student Senate, the Delta Force coalition, has built its reputation on bringing together an eclectic and diverse group of people. Karen Keith, who ran for student body president as a member of the Delta Force coalition last year, said she thought that KUnited's multicultural focus was the product of a gradual shift.
"I think that it is somewhat of a break from the tradition of the party that opposes Delta Force," Keith, Tulsa, Okla., senior said.
Drew Thomas, Hays senior
and potential Delta Force candidate for student body president, said KUnited's plan to run on a multicultural platform was "fine because they did it last year" but questioned the plan's effectiveness.
"I don't know if they're just looking to get votes, or they're taking on an issue they take to heart," Thomas said. "It's one of those things where you don't know if they're doing it to get votes or it's something they believe in."
Melanie Weiser, Dallas junior and Hispanic American Leadership Organization's president, said she did not doubt KUnited's dedication to minority issues.
"I know last year they kept every promise they made to HALO." she said. "I know my members feel more informed."
Mark Dupree, Kansas City,
Kan., junior and Black Student Union president, said his primary concern was not who or how multicultural issues were brought out, as long as the issues were raised.
"Regardless of what it takes to get it out, you get it out," Dupree said. "Sometimes you ride its back, sometimes it rides yours."
Knopp, for his part, acknowledges that skeptics will not be satisfied with a lot of talk and an increased presence at minority events in the election campaign.
Instead, he offers a simple promise for those who doubt KUnited will maintain its commitment to multicultural issues: "Take my word for it: I'll be there."

EDITORIAL BOARD
Small stuff important in search for housing
It's getting to be that time of year again when students start to think about life outside McCollum Hall and look for other living options. The search for an off-campus house or apartment can be one that is fraught with peril if not approached correctly. Learn how to do your research on off-campus living.
The first step is obvious. Decide what you and your possible roommates are looking for. A six-person house? A two-bedroom apartment? Something close to campus?
Perhaps on a bus route? These are all criteria that must be decided upon before embarking on your search.
Once you know the basics of what you are looking for, find several options within your narrowed field. The Off Campus Living Resource Center on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union might be a good place to start. They offer rental and roommate listings, prices for rent and links to resources for Kansas tenants.
You could also ask older, more seasoned veterans of off-campus living for advice. Find out what resources they've used and what they've found to be a waste of time.
Further exploring those options is a matter of asking the right questions. Some are obvious. Find out the rent. Does it include utilities or are those extra? What utilities are available (cable TV, high-speed Internet access, etc.)? How do students in the area you are looking at usually get to campus?
Pay attention to details. Turn on the shower. How is the water pressure and heat? Check out the windows and doors. Do they lock securely? Are the heat and air conditioning adequate? Are the walls paper thin? Is the house visibly haunted? Finding these things out before moving in will decrease the likelihood of having a horror story to tell down the road.
Finally, you need to find out about the management. Knock on the door of someone who lives in the apartment complex or in another property owned by the same landlord. They will almost certainly be more than happy to grouse about the person who oversees their lease. Expect a normal amount of moaning but be attentive for real problems. For instance, how quickly does the landlord respond to maintenance requests? Make sure your prospective landlord is not the sort who thinks a backed-up toilet builds character in his or her tenants. Another good thing to find out is if the landlord in question is in the habit of gouging security deposits. Once you have decided upon your desired residence, employ a little-known secret. Haggle. Some landlords can be brought down a little bit on their prices with just a bit of old-fashioned dickering. Hey, it's worth a shot.

My message was reinforced this month by visits to the Capitol from KU's classified staff, unclassified employees and students. I appreciate the work those groups are doing toward our common cause.
THE CHRISTIAN EASTERN REFORMER
I told the committee that the University of Kansas had been seriously harmed this fiscal year, losing $18.8 million through reductions and unfunded costs, which account for about 8 percent of our budget. No one at the University received a regular salary increase this year, for example.

GUEST COMMENTARY
We are hurting, but we are not "whining." Our situation could be worse and, for many in our society, it is.
Governor Sebelius' proposed budget is helpful to the University, but her proposal does not hold us harmless. Nor does it repair any of the damage we absorbed this year.
If we again have to pay for increases in health insurance and other fringe benefit costs out of our own resources, it's the same as cutting our budget an additional $3.7 million next year.
The University received $242 million in state funds in the fiscal year of 2002, but our total revenue was $708 million. We use state appropriations to leverage
How will these past cuts and the prospect of additional cuts in the new year affect the University's capacity to help lift Kansas out of its existing budget crisis?
If you factor in the hospital revenues earned by the University of Kansas Medical Center, the direct economic impact of this University enterprise easily exceeds $1 billion. The indirect impact is even greater. But it all begins with the state's original investment.
Budget cuts are necessary in a funding crisis, but there are other measures we can take. One is to cut costly bureaucratic regulations imposed by the state on its universities. We intend to pursue such an initiative, which I regard as the continuation of the reform of public higher education in Kansas that began in 1999.
No other arm of state government generates this kind of immediate return on investment. We are committed to the economic development mission, but our ability to deliver is being undermined.
Despite the constraints and the shortfalls, the University continues to benefit Kansas:
nearly three times as much money, which includes tuition, room and board, private gifts and research grants.
We received a record $243 million in grants last year to support research
This year's tuition increase enhanced selected programs and facilities at the University and included $2.2 million in tuition grants.
Alumni and friends pushed the "KU First: Invest in Excellence" campaign of the Kansas University Endowment Association to the $404-million level, and the association provided a record $68.9 million to KU students; faculty, projects and programs.
of all kinds
A recent graduate received a Rhodes Scholarship and another received a Marshall Scholarship, which is the first such "double" in one year for the University since 1965.
A slightly older alumnus — Vernon Smith, a 1951 master's degree recipient — shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
The University played a significant role in the decision of a pharmaceutical products firm, Serologicals Corporation, to build a new manufacturing plant in Kansas
I shared all that and much more with the committee, and we will continue our efforts throughout the session.
My message was clear: Educated people are an asset for any state, every bit as much as its roads, water, oil or wheat.
If Kansas is to be positioned for economic recovery, the state must support its universities and give them more freedom to manage their affairs as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Senate should offer solutions instead of opposition
JACK MICHAEL
Tonight, Delta Force will presen the committees of Student Senate with a resolution in opposition to the tuition increase that was approved by the Board of Regents last year.
The natural inclination for the students on these committees will be to support this idea, given that no student seems interested in paying more tuition.
Andy Knopp
opinion@kansan.com
GUEST COMMENTARY
But it is my hope that the committee members take a closer look at this resolution and learn from the mistakes of past Student Senate administrations.
The purpose of this legislation appears to exercise the rights of students to voice opinions and participate in University governance.
But this resolution is missing one important part of the participation equation: a viable alternative to the given course of action.
If senators are genuinely concerned that students are being priced out of a University education or that these increases are not improving our education, they should come to a Tuition Advisory Committee meeting.
All year, a handful of students have advised the provost on how these tuition enhancement funds should be spent. The committee advocated for the student hourly wage increase of $1 million annually to reduce the burden of tuition increases on the students who presumably need it most; those who are working their way through school.
The approval of this wage increase proves that the administration is willing to listen to reasonable student input.
I understand that this is the time of year for making grand statements and "playing to the crowd." This resolution certainly achieves that goal effectively.
It is unfortunate that supporters of this resolution are forgetting an important lesson from last year's tuition battle. Remaining fundamentally opposed to the idea of a tuition increase — or even advocating a decrease, as some protesters did — was clearly an ineffective means of handling the situation.
Instead of stopping the tuition increase, we ended up with the largest tuition increase in University history and found ourselves, as student leaders, picketing and yelling outside the doors of administrators, the Board of Regents and the Legislature.
comprehensive financial aid program with an appeals process to make sure that students do not slip through the cracks.
Last year's focus on protests wasted the opportunity to effectively voice student concerns, to work together to ensure that no student is left behind and
The next idea to push for is a more
to see to it that these inevitable increases would truly serve to enhance our education immediately.
I don't like tuition increases any more than the next student. I am scraping by to afford school, too. But as senators and responsible student leaders, we need to make the best of the situation.
Lobbying for adequate funding for higher education from the Legislature should continue to be a priority for our student government.
P
I'll support a resolution that presents a viable alternative to raising our tuition. Until then, the Tuition Advisory Committee will be finding ways to put money back into the pockets of students and improve the educational experience at the University.
When the Legislature and Regents present a challenge, we can sit around and pass resolutions, or we can step up and offer real solutions.

University and city to honor Hughes with five-day festival
By Eddie Yang
eyang@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
To celebrate the arts of Kansas, sponsors from the Lawrence community and the University of Kansas are hosting a five-day Langston Hughes February Festival from today through Sunday. The festival, which stems from the success of last year's Langston Hughes Symposium, will include two writing conferences, a film festival and guest speakers.
"With last year's Langston Hughes conference, we had a tremendous response," said Maryemma Graham, festival organizer and professor of English. "The community showed that there is an interest in having it annually."
The University's 23rd Conference on Writing and Literature for elementary and secondary teachers of English and language arts kicks off the February Festival events today and tomorrow in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Two films will premiere during the festival—"Confederate States of America" by Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of theater and film, and "Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel" by Madison Lacy, an independent film producer from New York. The Wichita-born McDaniel won an academy award for her role in "Gone with the Wind."
Speakers invited include Kansas native Gordon Parks, nationally recognized photographer, composer and author of "The Learning Tree."

"The evening on Saturday will honor him with a panel of people to discuss his life and

work," Graham said. "We're about 60 percent sure he is going to come, but he is 90 years old and you just never know."
Graham said that the festival would celebrate Kansas writers and artists in the name of Langston Hughes.
"For a long time, Kansas artists have been ignored everyone from Langston Hughes Gordon Parks, and Adam McAdams, who definitely have Kansas influence in their work" Willmott said.
Hughes lived with his aunt in Lawrence during his elementary school days, while his mother, a KU graduate, migrated looking for work. Hughes was born on Feb. 1, 1902. Graham said that Hughes wrote Not Without Laughter, a fictionalized book based on his experiences of growing up in Lawrence.
"Although the town in the book is called Stanton, people who have lived in Lawrence for a while and read the book can identify the markers in the book." Graham said.

Protest to target Taco Bell
By Cal Creek
ccreek@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Two Lawrence groups want workers who pick tomatoes for Taco Bell's food to be paid more money.
The Lawrence Industrial Workers and the Organization of Lawrence Anti-Imperialists will be protesting at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at both of the Taco Bell locations, 1408 W.23rd St. and 1228 W.Sixth St.
"We wanted to be in solidarity with our brother and sister workers," said Chantel Guidry, member of both organizations and protest organizer.
The protest stems from a national hunger strike that will take place Monday. Protesters in Lawrence will join a national movement by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and allies to bring attention to Taco Bell's ties
to conditions in Florida's tomato fields that organizations feel are less than on par. Protesters across the nation will rally with people who are fasting on Feb. 28 outside the Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine, Calif.
According to the Coalition of Immokalee Web site, farm workers in Immokalee, Fla., who pick tomatoes for Six L's Packing Co., Inc., earn between 40 to 50 cents for every 32-pound bucket of tomatoes they pick. Taco Bell then uses a purchasing company to pay a broker to purchase tomatoes from companies like Six L's Packing Co., Inc. The workers have received the same piece rate since 1978. At such a rate, workers would have to pick and haul two tons of tomatoes to make $50 in one day.
"I hope people in Lawrence realize when they support Taco Bell, they hurt workers in Florida," Guidry said.
Taco Bell executives met with members of the coalition and Six Ls. According to Laurie Gannon, director of public relations for Taco Bell, Six Ls said it paid its workers at least $9 per hour. Taco Bell asked the coalition to show evidence that contradicted this. Gannon said the coalition never provided that evidence.
The coalition maintains that if Taco Bell agrees to pay one penny more per pound for the tomatoes it purchases from Florida growers, it could double the picking piece rate paid to the workers. If Taco Bell chose to pass the added expense on to its customers, a chalupa would be about a quarter of a cent more.
Representatives of Taco Bell said that this was a dispute between Six Ls Packing Co., Inc., and the company's tomato pickers.
"This is a labor dispute and Taco Bell does not get involved in
outer companies' labor disputes," Gannon said. "We have no leverage over Six Ls."
A manager from the Sixth Street Taco Bell who didn't want to be identified said she didn't think it would affect business because Taco Bell had enough customers who didn't care.
Gannon said it was unfortunate if a protest in Lawrence did take place, because the Taco Bell locations in Lawrence were independent franchises.
"You're hurting an individual franchisee, not a national corporation," Gannon said.
Guidry said anyone was invited to protest. For more information contact the Black Cat Collective, the home for Lawrence Industrial Workers and The Organization of Lawrence Anti-Imperialists at 865-0578.

She submitted a collection of self-portraits to an art contest in Illinois and won a $150 frame.
"I ran out of time and had to take pictures of myself," Lample said. "It's kind of strange to take pictures of yourself."
Kelley Lample, Mundelein, Ill., junior, enjoys playing around with a camera. Her interest in photography was sparked in high school. Lample enjoys shooting nature scenery and also has an interest in black and white photography.
Besides taking self-portraits and wildlife photos, Lample loves taking pictures of her friends and her boyfriend.
Lample's favorite spot to take pictures is on the beach. She prefers the West Coast because the ocean and mountains are together.
Lample has not taken any photography classes at the University of Kansas.
"I may take a photo class just because I want to be in the darkroom." Lample said. "I don't care
about the grade, I just want to be there."
After she graduates, Lample wants to teach fourth- or fifth-grade children.
She hopes to somehow incorporate photography in the class room.

Program sends faculty speakers throughout state
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Clubs interested in requesting a guest speaker should fill out an online request form at www.ku.edu/~speakers. Requests should be submitted four weeks before the scheduled meeting date, and organizations can choose their top three choices for speakers.
Kathy Reed, administrative specialist at University Governance, handles the scheduling of speakers. Reed said reaction to the program was positive and she received about five calls a day from people interested in learning more about the program.
"Not only are Lawrence people utilizing it, which we want, but other groups are also utilizing it," Reed said. The speakers have traveled to places such as Wichita, Marysville and Paola.
The bureau is funded by the Office of the Provost, and speakers are reimbursed for mileage to and from engagements and one overnight stay, if necessary.
Their performance piece,
"Tapestry: An Arab-Jewish Storytelling Dialogue" uses stories from Arabian and Jewish cultures, their own personal stories and proverbs in an attempt to bring people together to foster peace in the Middle East.
The speakers bureau Web site has a list of speakers by topic, with areas of special interest listed for each speaker. Faculty must register with the bureau through University Governance to be put on the speakers list. Reed said the program had more than 100 speakers registered.
"They tell a story of mutual understanding and recognition," said Allan Hanson, anthropology professor and coordinator of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice.

Meat industry tries to lure back vegetarians
The Associated Press
Jessi Lehman may not know it, but she's the sort of girl who's stirring a battle between the beef industry and pro-vegetarian groups — each attempting to sway young people to its side of the table.
The teen from State College, Pa., grew up surrounded by farm country and a family of meat-eaters. Yet at age 16, she's been a vegetarian for more than six years, and says a growing number of her friends are following suit.
"In America, we eat so much more than we need," said Lehman, who talked about "sustainable agriculture" and "slaughterhouse conditions" as easily as most teens talk about their favorite music or TV show.
There are signs that young people are increasingly interested in eating vegetarian. Surveys show that more schools and universities now offer non-meat alternatives as
main courses. The Vegetarian Resource Group cites its veggie nutrition information for teens as the "top page" on its Web site.
And a recent survey of 12- to 19-year-olds done by Teenage Research Unlimited found that 20 percent of all respondents — and 28 percent of girls — said vegetarianism was "in."
While that's one in five teens overall, a representative at Teenage Research — a suburban Chicago firm that tracks youth trends — notes the percentage is not particularly high when compared to other trends such as using the Internet (92 percent) and downloading music (84 percent).
Still, the interest in going meatless is substantial enough that the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, a trade group for cattle ranchers, is taking action.
In December, the group posted a Web site titled "Cool-2B-Real" and aimed at girls, ages 8 to 12.
The site encourages girls to be confident and active with message boards, computer games, self-esteem tests and advice — and recipes featuring various forms of beef.
"We are out to promote that all foods fit into a healthy diet," says Mary K. Young, executive director of nutrition for the National Cattlemen, who remembers a time when eschewing meat was considered "fringe."
Young conceded that a vegetarian diet could be healthy. But too often, she said, it isn't. And overall — whether girls are vegetarian — she said federal statistics show that, after age 11, many girls' diets lack important nutrients found in beef and other food.
On the other side, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is stepping up its pro-vegetarian campaign. PETA officials say that, next month in New York City, they'll circulate a bus covered in an ad featuring an obese child eating a burger and the slogan "Feeding Kids Meat Is Child Abuse — Fight the Fat."
Research on the subject is mixed, though many health experts, including researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, recommend eating more fish, beans and chicken as a source of protein than red meat.
In the end, though, some worry that—in a nation with millions of overweight young people—the overall message to eat healthy is getting lost in a polarized meat-versusvegetarian debate.
"What we need to do is teach kids, and their parents, how to eat healthier," said Samantha Heller, a senior clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center in New York.
Whether they eat some lean red meat, Heller said that means eating more fruits and vegetables whole grains and nuts — and less junk food.

Farmland Industries signs $270 million deal with Koch
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Bankrupt agriculture cooperative Farmland Industries Inc. has signed a $270 million deal to sell its nitrogen fertilizer assets to Koch Nitrogen Co.
The agreements, subject to bankruptcy court approval, must still go through an auction process.
The deal basically means that the Koch offer, the highest to date, would be the starting bid in a live auction by the court, said Farmland representative Sherlyn Manson. The Kansas City, Mo-based cooperative filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 31.
One agreement with Wichita-based Koch includes selected Farmland domestic fertilizer assets and the other includes Farmland's share of Farmland MissChem Limited, which owns an ammonia plant in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
The proposed sale includes
$104.4 million for the domestic assets and $86.5 million for the FMCL interest. The remaining $79.1 million is total liabilities being assumed by Koch Nitrogen for the two businesses.
Farmland's fertilizer business with annual sales of about $1 billion made Farmland one of the largest fertilizer manufacturers in the nation.
"While no longer a core business for Farmland, the sale of these valuable assets is pivotal to our successful reorganization," Farmland executive vice president Stan Riemann said in a news release.
The assets covered by the deal include Farmland's fertilizer plants in Dodge City, Kan; Fort Dodge, Iowa; Enid, Okla.; and Beatrice, Neb.; as well as 12 terminals located throughout Minnesota, Kansas, Texas, Iowa and Illinois, Mansson said.
Those facilities employ more than 280 in the United States and 81 in Trinidad, Manson said.
Koch also has a one-year
option to purchase Farmland's fertilizer operations in Coffeyville and Lawrence, as well as one in Pollock, La. Those operations are not included in the deal announced yesterday, said Koch representative Mary Beth Jarvis.
"Adding the terminals and plants to the ones Koch operates really form a nicely sized and customer-friendly group of assets to serve the U.S. Midwest, which is a large and very important customer base." Jarvis said.
Koch Nitrogen owns a fertilizer manufacturing plant in Sterlington, La., and 15 terminals in the Midwest and has part ownership and marketing agreements already in place in Venezuela and Trinidad.
Farmland anticipates completing the fertilizer sale later this spring. It is still trying to sell its petroleum refinery and grain elevators. Manson said.
Koch Nitrogen Co. is a subsidiary of the privately held Koch Industries, Inc.
Panel hears opposition to school consolidation
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Legislators received a simple message yesterday as they considered consolidating school districts: Don't.
Superintendents, school board members and parents testified before the House Education Committee on a series of bills to reduce the number of school districts from 303 to as few as 40.
They said small districts already provided good education and that changing administrators' duties would not produce desired savings.
"Everyone wears quite a few hats," said Fowler Superintendent Gena Stanley, who also oversees food service and is the district's main substitute teacher.
Stanley said what many people feared was the loss of community identity. Fowler is 45 miles from Dodge City along the Oklahoma border.
"Our town really revolves around the high school," she said. "People really only live in Fowler because of the schools."
Education Chairwoman Kathe Decker (R-Clay Center), said the committee would hold hearings again today but that it was uncertain if a bill would emerge for House consideration. She said
the topic could be studied after the 2003 session.
Kent Moore, a farmer whose children attend the Skyline schools in Pratt County, said the 400-student district should be allowed to make its own choice about consolidating. A 1967 decision to combine four dwindling districts to create Skyline was driven by local concerns, he said.
"If and when a community makes that decision, the state should facilitate consolidation, but it should not mandate that it take place." Moore said.
And Kay Smith, another Pratt County resident, said, "Rural living is a lifestyle choice that we made. Consolidation takes away that freedom of choice."
Others, including South Haven Superintendent Jim Sutton and Axtell Superintendent Larry Geil, said consolidation would reduce the opportunities for students to participate in extracurricular activities. The superintendents said activities improved an educational experience and helped shape young leaders.
Mark Tallman, lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said consolidating would not necessarily save state dollars. Kansas spends $2.3 billion in general revenues on elementary and secondary education.
He cited figures from 1965 to 1968, where total budgets increased 7.42 percent and perpupil spending increased 11.48 percent. Tallman said the suggestion that as much as $480 million could be saved was misleading.
"Parents would expect the same level of academic offering and services across the new district, and possibly more services in a new, larger district," he said.
Not represented at yesterday's hearing were districts with more than 1,000 students.
Salina Superintendent Gary Norris, who has worked on a plan to create 40 regional education districts, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that the plan has received a lot of attention but is "not a silver bullet" for education.
He said the plan wouldn't work unless "every dollar currently allocated to education remains allocated to education."
Regardless of what bill may emerge, Norris said it was difficult for local districts to consolidate without legislative initiatives or incentives.
"Generally, it will not come from the local folks," Norris said.
Suspended school principal concerned about his career
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The principal of a Kansas City elementary school where he and two teachers are accused of using excessive discipline thinks his career might be over.
District policy.
"I think they will either terminate me or ask for my resignation," Pitcher Elementary Principal Rick Mills told The Kansas City Star. "I hate that because I love being an elementary principal. I love being around children."
But he said publicity surrounding claims against him may prevent other schools from hiring him.
"My career in education is probably over," said Mills, who took the Kansas City job this school year after retiring from another school district where he admitted to 0spanking children. "It hurts. It really hurts."
Mills, 53, has been an advocate of corporal punishment, having said that's one reason people have rear ends. He was suspended Feb. 6 for allegedly spanking three children in violation of Kansas City School
The two teachers, who also have been suspended, are accused of binding kindergartners to their chairs with tape, placing pepper in their mouths and threatening them with a hot glue gun.
"Both these teachers are excellent teachers. They both made a mistake," Mills said.
He declined to elaborate on what he meant by the word "mistake."
The allegations are the latest to surface at Pitcher, where last year, under a different principal, 23 students were strip-searched by two teachers who were looking for a missing $5 bill.
Also last year, a teacher and teacher's aide were disciplined for physical and verbal abuse of preschoolers.
Mills acknowledges that he is a staunch believer in corporal punishment, but denies he swatted Pitcher students. He said he follows district policy and disciplined children by putting them in the corner with their hands behind their backs.
Mills has been openly quoted on his support of corporal punishment, and has had to answer questions about his disciplinary practices in the past.
He was hired at Pitcher in July after retiring from the Henry County R-1 school district, where he had been principal at Windsor Elementary School. That rural district, located about 70 miles southeast of Kansas City, allows students to be spanked with a parent's permission.
While principal there, Mills told the Sedalia Democrat in an interview in 2000 that he spanked nine elementary pupils during the 1999-2000 school year and rarely saw a repeat offender.
"When you love children, sometimes you have to hug them and other times you have to spank them," Mills told the newspaper. "God gave us a butt for two reasons: one is biological, the other is for discipline."
Kansas City school officials subjected Mills to the routine check of criminal and Missouri Department of Social Services records before hiring him, but nothing about previous allegations or his belief in corporal punishment showed up.

Bush turns to spirituality to help nation, draws criticism
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush, often portrayed as using a strict good-and-evil compass to navigate national issues, has always peppered his speeches with exhortations to moral and civic duty. With war, tragedy and terrorism confronting him now, his allusions to spirituality and morality seem to be increasing.
"I welcome faith to help solve the nation's deepest problems," Bush told a convention of religious broadcasters last week. Referring to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, he said, "We carried our grief to the Lord Almighty in prayer."
Earlier, in his State of the Union address, he said, "The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity."
Hours after the shuttle Columbia disintegrated, Bush turned to religion and a quote from the book of Isaiah to help console the nation.
"The same Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn today. The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to Earth; yet we can pray that all are safely home." the president said.
Expressions of faith and values are familiar ground for American presidents, and this one, who became a born-again Christian in the 1980s after concluding he was drinking too much, is no exception.
Yet lately, Bush has gone beyond his usual broad remarks on the power of faith in general to use language and ideas specific to Christianity.
"I think his rhetoric implies a lack of appreciation for the vast pluralism of religion in this nation."
It is a welcome message for some, particularly the evangelical Christian conservatives whom Bush is courting as he seeks a second term. Some others are uncomfortable.
The Rev. C. Welton Gaddy Pastor and executive director of the Interfaith Alliance Foundation
"This president is using general references and, beyond that, terminology and vocabulary that come straight out of a very particular religious tradition, which is
evangelical Christianity," said the Rev. C. Welton Gaddy, a Louisiana pastor and executive director of the Interfaith Alliance Foundation, an umbrella interfaith group.
Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said Bush speeches have started sounding "more and more like a sermon in a church" and risk alienating significant chunks of his constituency.
"I think his rhetoric implies a lack of appreciation for the vast pluralism of religion in this nation," Gaddy said.
"When presidents start to become theologians on a regular basis, they begin to exclude people from their audience," Lynn said.
White House press secretary
Ari Fleischer said Bush is comfortable speaking about religion because of its importance to him personally.
"The president when he speaks, speaks in a very inclusive way, very respectful ... of the fact that we are a nation whose great strengths come from the fact that we have people of so many faiths and people who have chosen not to have any particular religious affiliation," Fleischer said.
In his State of the Union address, Bush reflected on the challenges facing the nation as it prepares for possible war:
"We Americans have faith in ourselves, but not in ourselves alone. We do not claim to know all the ways of providence, yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in the loving God
behind all of life and all of history. May he guide us now, and may God continue to bless the United States of America."
In Nashville, Bush praised Americans' "deep and diverse religious beliefs." But he also singled out a special place for Christianity, calling the gospel that the broadcasters share over the airwaves "words of truth."
More generally, the president has delivered several passionfilled speeches recently on behalf of his proposal to spend billions more to combat AIDS abroad. In Grand Rapids, Mich., the day after his State of the Union address, Bush said the humanitarian crisis is a chance"a moral nation cannot pass up to use its riches and know-how for good.
Columbia began break up above California
Space shuttle shed pieces for six minutes before disintegrating
The Associated Press
SPACE CENTER, Houston Space shuttle Columbia began losing pieces over the California coast, well before it disintegrated over Texas, the accident investigation board reported yesterday, confirming what astronomers and amateur skywatchers have been saying from day one.
But board member James Hallock, a physicist and chief of the Transportation Department's aviation safety division, said the fragments were probably so small they burned up before reaching the ground.
He said the conclusion that the space shuttle was shedding pieces a full six minutes before it came apart over Texas was based on images of the doomed flight. Astronomers and amateurs on the West Coast photographed and videotaped the shuttle's final minutes.
"Obviously, it would be very important to understand what those pieces are, particularly the ones that started falling off at the very beginning," because they would shed light on the earliest stages of the breakup, he said.
from the light reflected off them.
However, Hallock said that the pieces that came early did not seem to be very big, judging
"For us to find something that far back along the path, I think it's going to have to be a pretty substantial piece of the shuttle itself," he said.
Moreover, he added: "That's a lot of area to be looking. ... We have the Grand Canyon area and all of the areas of Southern California, the mountainous area and stuff like this, that even if we could home in on some of these things, it's going to be very difficult to find it. But we sure would like to see it."
In their second news conference in as many weeks, the board members also said that they are not convinced that the debris that hit the left wing shortly after liftoff on Jan. 16 was insulating foam from the external fuel tank. It is possible the debris was actually ice or a much heavier coating material beneath the foam, they said.
Hallock said the suspected breach in Columbia's left wing had to have been bigger than a pinhole, in order to allow the superheated gases surrounding the ship to penetrate the hull.
In other news:
The board said it will hold its first public hearing next week to listen to non-NASA experts who have theories about what destroyed the shuttle. The hearing will be Feb. 27, but the location has not yet been decided. The board has been criticized by
some U.S. lawmakers as being too closely tied to NASA.
"We will invite experts who are not associated with any U.S. government program who have theories or hypothesis, who have written to us or provided research documents, to express to us their opinions," said board chairman Harold Gehman Jr., a retired Navy admiral. "That way we get input ...not by any government agency."
The board split into three teams Tuesday — materials, operations and technology — and began delving into what may have caused a breach in the shuttle's left wing.
An Air Force telescope in Maui took pictures as Columbia soared toward the California coast, Gehman said. He said the images were still being analyzed and it was too soon to know whether they may hold any clues to the shuttle's demise.
Nearly 4,000 pieces of debris have been shipped to Florida's Kennedy Space Center, of which 2,600 have been identified and cataloged. Gehman said. Investigators hope to partially assemble the pieces to help them figure out what happened to the space shuttle. An additional 10,000 pieces are headed to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and Kennedy.
represents only a tiny portion because so much of the wreckage is small, like fragments of insulation.
It is impossible to calculate how much of Columbia the recovered pieces represent, the board said. In terms of weight, it
In the more than two weeks since the tragedy, the NASA-appointed board has publicly put forth just one hypothesis: that the superheated gases surrounding the spaceship during its descent through the atmosphere penetrated the left wing.
Still a major focus of the investigation is the supposed 2 1/2pound chunk of rigid insulating foam that broke off Columbia's external fuel tank shortly after liftoff and slammed into the left wing at more than 500 mph.
NASA concluded while Columbia was still in orbit that any damage caused by the foam was slight and posed no safety threat. But engineers are now redoing their analysis to see if they made a mistake or missed something.
Air Force Maj. Gen. John Barry, a member of the investigating board, identified four previous launches, as far back as 1983, in which foam from the same part of the fuel tank struck a shuttle's thermal tiles. "We've got some backtracking to do," he said.
The board has yet to order any foam or thermal tile impact tests, Gehman said. Over the years, NASA has shot .22-caliber bullets, BB pellets and even ice at tiles, and the board wants to read up on this "enormous library of testing" first, he said.
Transplant mix-up leaves 17-year-old in critical condition
The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — A 17-year-old girl who mistakenly received organs from a donor with a different blood type is not expected to live more than a few days, a family friend said yesterday.
Jesica Santillan, whose family moved to the United States from Mexico so she could get a heart and lung transplant, was in critical condition, said Richard Puff, a spokesman for Duke University Hospital.
"She's only got a couple of more days to live on this heartlung machine, and she's already experiencing damage to her kidneys," friend Mack Mahoney told ABC's Good Morning America.
The girl's own antibodies are attacking the organs, he said, and she almost died from a heart attack Feb. 10.
Duke Hospital, which did the transplant. has accepted responsibility for the error.
Jesica was suffering from a heart deformity that prevented her lungs from pumping enough oxygen into her blood. After a three-year wait, she received a transplant Feb. 7 with a heart and lungs flown in from Boston.
The organs were sent with paperwork correctly listing the donor's blood type, said Sean Fitzpatrick of the New England
Organ Bank, which sent the organs.
Speaking through an interpreter, the girl's mother, Magdalena Santillan, told Good Morning America the hospital told her they had received the same blood-type organs and that they fit exactly to her daughter's measurements.
Yet somehow, the type-A organs were transplanted into the girl with type O-positive blood.
"This was a tragic error, and we accept responsibility for our part," said Dr. William Fulkerson, chief executive of Duke University Hospital. "This is an especially sad situation since we intended this operation to save the life of a girl whose prognosis was grave."
Mahoney said Jesica would have died within six months without a transplant.
The natural antibodies most people have in their blood will try to destroy an organ from someone of a different blood type. Some hospitals have found ways of filtering the blood so that an organ from a donor of a different blood type is not rejected.
Jesica remains on the national waiting list kept by the United Network for Organ Sharing. Spokeswoman Anne Paschke said the organ procurement group cannot specifically search for a heart and lungs for Jesica.

Bush says protests won't sway him
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Declaring that America's security should not be dictated by protesters, President Bush said yesterday he would not be swayed from compelling Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to disarm. "We will deal with him," Bush said as U.S. and British diplomats weighed another bid for U.N. backing.
"War is my last choice," Bush said at the White House as echoes of anti-war protests circled the globe. "But the risk of doing nothing is even a worse option as far as I am concerned."
Standing firmly against skeptical allies as well as the demonstrators, Bush said: I owe it to the American people to secure this country. I will do so."
Administration officials in Washington and at the United Nations in New York were discussing the possible gains as well as the risk of a diplomatic defeat if
"War is my last choice. But the risk of doing nothing is even a worse option as far as I'm concerned."
George W. Bush U.S. President
the United States proposed a new resolution to the Security Council to endorse force as an option to disarm Iraq.
One U.S. official said yesterday there was no decision on a text or even on whether to go ahead, though White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said, "I think it will be a simple and rather straightforward resolution."
Bush said a second resolution "would be useful," although "we don't need a second resolution. It's clear this guy could even care less about the first resolution. He's in total defiance."
In Rome, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Iraq had to "move very fast" to heed the call of the international community and cooperate with U.N. inspectors or face possible war. But he said it was up to the Security Council to decide if the inspections had gone on long enough.
France, with support from Russia and China, does not accept the U.S. view that the Security Council effectively endorsed force as an option to disarm Iraq in an earlier resolution that warned of "serious consequences" if Saddam persisted in defying U.N. demands.
With some 50 countries lined up to speak to the council in a session that could go over until Wednesday, early action by the United States and its close ally, Britain, was not expected.
Diplomats at the United Nations said a draft resolution could be circulated late today.
As for the protests around the world by millions of people opposed to war with Iraq, Bush said they were irrelevant to his duty to protect America.
"Size of protest, it's like deciding. 'Well I'm going to decide policy based up on a focus group.' The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon the security — in this case — security of the people," he said.
"Democracy is a beautiful thing, and that people are allowed to express their opinion," he said.
"Some in the world don't view Saddam Hussein as a risk to peace," he added. "I respectfully disagree."
Last Friday, an overwhelming majority of the 15 council members followed France's lead and called for extending U.N. weapons searches in Iraq. Secretary of State Colin Powell's argument that the searches were virtually useless was overridden.
Attack on South Korean subway kills 120
The Associated Press
DAEGU, South Korea — Kim Ho-keun, a 68-year-old grandfather, was about to get off the crowded subway when an explosion knocked him to the floor. He awoke in darkness minutes later, gasping for breath and desperate to escape a fiery attack that killed 120 people yesterday.
Struggling to call for help, Kim feared the worst until he heard a rescue worker's voice.
"I couldn't see him, but I saw his flashlight, so I grabbed his hand," Kim said from his hospital bed, tubes supplying him with
oxygen. "It was then that I thought to myself: I'm going to live."
Kim was one of the fortunate in Daegu, South Korea's third-largest city.
The fire started about 10 a.m. when a man lit a container of flammable liquid and tossed it. The blaze incinerated two six-car subway trains, killed 120 people and injured 138, many of them seriously. Rescue workers gave up the search for survivors by the afternoon.
A suspect who police say has a history of mental illness was under interrogation. Police said they did not know what motivated
the attack or what substance the attacker used to start the blaze.
The fire began in one train at a station, igniting seats and spreading to another train as it pulled in, officials said. More people died in the second train because many of the doors failed to open, trapping passengers.
YTN TV news channel reported the second train arrived four minutes after the fire started. It was not clear why the second train was not warned of the fire or diverted from the station.
Lim Dae-yoon, chief of Daegu city's east district municipal government, estimated the number
of people killed at 120. "We believe the death toll will not rise drastically from that," Lim said.
Many bodies were burned beyond recognition. Officials said they would have to wait for DNA tests to confirm the number of dead, which could take weeks.
Firefighters gave horrifying accounts of the scene underground. Many bodies were found on the subway stairs, where people apparently suffocated as they tried to escape. On the platform and in trains were the ashen bones of those trapped in the flames.
U.N. inspectors visit Iraqi weapons sites
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.N. weapons inspectors visited five sites involved in the production of a banned missile yesterday as rockets became a new flashpoint in the Iraq crisis.
The United Nations is deciding whether to insist that Iraq modify the missiles or destroy them — a demand Saddam Hussein would likely find hard to meet.
Iraq's foreign minister, Naji Sabri, was asked last night what Iraq would do if told to destroy the missiles. He refused to answer, saying the question was too hypothetical.
The U.N. inspectors said yesterday they have put identification tags on components of dozens of Al Samoud 2 missiles, but they wouldn't say how many more remain to be inventoried. It remained unclear what they will do with the missiles they find.
"we are waiting for further instruction from New York." said a spokesman for the inspection teams in Baghdad, Hiro Ueki.
U. N. officials have banned the missiles because they have been tested at ranges greater than the 94-mile limit imposed on Iraq by U.N. resolutions adopted at the end of the 1991 Gulf War.
Giving up the Al Samouf 2 would mean sacrificing an important part of Iraq's defenses just as tens of thousands of U.S. and British troops mass on its southern border. But refusing to do so could give Iraq's enemies arguments to launch a war.
During a visit to Baghdad in January, chief inspector Hans Blix said the Iraqis suggested that when they fitted guidance and control systems and other devices to the missiles, they would be weighed down and flown within the legal distance.
Iraq was having trouble meeting another U.N. demand: encouraging scientists involved in weapons programs to grant private interviews to inspectors from UNMOVIC, the U.N. Monitoring and Observation Commission.
Ueki said only three of 30 scientists invited since the inspectors returned to Iraq in November have been willing to talk without a tape recorder — a condition the UNMOVIC inspectors insist on because they believe it will make the scientists more candid.
The three scientists who gave interviews were suggested by the Iraqi government — not requested independently by the U.N. team, Ueki said.
A separate team of U.N. nuclear inspectors has conducted more interviews but allowed the scientists to record them. On Monday, those inspectors interviewed Saad Ahmed Mahmoud, deputy director-general of the al-Rasheed Co., which makes rocket motors and infantry rockets.
Yesterday Mahmoud denounced the interview, calling it unjustified because it "came from a political decision imposed by the United States."
Ueki said the resumption of U-2 flights on Monday signaled that Iraq's cooperation with the inspectors was improving.
Millions in Northeast work to recover after crippling record snowfall
The Associated Press
BOSTON — The Northeast struggled to dig out yesterday from a paralyzing storm that unloaded up to 4 feet of snow, busted city snow-removal budgets and stranded thousands of people at airports up and down the East Coast.
The storm, blamed for 37 deaths, finally headed out to sea after taking a parting shot at Boston, which got an all-time record of 27.5 inches by the time the snowfall stopped yesterday.
Homeowners and motorists dug out their cars and doorways and toiled to reopen driveways that had been sealed shut by passing snowplows.
"What can you do?" said 38-year-old Brian Shipley of Rockville, Md., standing waist-deep in the mini-canyon he had shoveled in the path to his door. "You dig out and you get ready for tomorrow."
A few blocks away, acupuncturist Cindy Clark foresaw a lot of sore backs. "There's going to be more work than I can handle for a long time," she said, leaning against a shovel in her almost cleared driveway.
Major airports labored to resume service after the biggest snowstorm to hit the Northeast in seven years.
Boston's Logan International had only about 25 takeoffs and landings an hour, compared with
80 to 90 during a typical weekday. Baltimore-Washington International opened one runway for takeoffs yesterday morning and the first arriving flight in 21/2 days landed during the afternoon.
Thousands of people expecting to fly home from vacations were stranded at airports in Florida. With Northern airports still catching up yesterday, airlines could not meet the demand.
"As US Airways explained to us, everyone's going nowhere fast," David Kiley said at Baltimore-Washington, keeping watch over a half-dozen 9- and 10-year-olds in wheelchairs who had flown from Charlotte, N.C., to Washington for a basketball tournament. They had spent two nights in a motel.
The storm spread snow from the Plains to New England, caused floods and power outages, and closed schools from West Virginia to Massachusetts. Federal offices remained closed yesterday in Washington; they had been closed on Monday for Presidents Day.
Because the snowstorm struck on the long holiday weekend and during midwinter vacation week for many schoolchildren, traffic was lighter than usual and plowing was easier.
"This has been one of those storms where things could go either way, and it's gone the right way every time for us," said Peter
Judge, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. "It was sort of Murphy's Law in reverse."
Boston's accumulation beat even the legendary Blizzard of 1978, when 27.1 inches of snow fell. But this storm did not pack nearly the punch. During the Blizzard of '78, hurricane-force wind created snowdrifts so big that thousands of drivers simply abandoned their cars. Ninety-nine deaths were blamed on the storm.
This snowstorm brought the fourth-heaviest accumulation on record for New York City —19.8 inches in Central Park. And for the region as a whole, it was the worst snowstorm since the Blizzard of 1996,blamed for at least 80 deaths.
for state and city governments, clearing away all that snow was a monumental headache.
Maryland's State Highway Administration was already $14 million over budget before the Presidents Day storm, which Gov. Robert Ehrlich estimated had cost the state an additional $20 million to $30 million.
Fairfield, Conn., budgeted about $200,000 for snow removal this season but already had spent $500,000 before the arrival of this storm, which cost at least $100,000, First Selectman Kenneth Flatto said. The storm is expected to cost cash-strapped New Jersey about $10 million

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 19).
A renovation project could disrupt your tranquility and mess up your living space, too. Keep costs down by doing as much as you can, but don't let yourself get too frazzled. All ends well, but it'll take a while.
Arles (March 21-April 19). Today is a 8.
You generally don't like to be told what to do. This time, it might not be so bad. Consider a suggestion from a person who usually takes orders from you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 8.
Your work should be easier, leaving you with more time to spend with your friends. You may still be too busy now, but set something up for Friday or Saturday.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 7.
Don't worry about the details. They'll take care of themselves. If you focus on the big picture, you'll find the perfect words.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7.
You're stuck at home for a few more days, but the weekend is coming soon. Start planning now so that you get as far as you can for the smallest amount of money possible.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 8. You may be getting good information from your friends and associates, but it sure wouldn't hurt to do some of the research yourself. Dig into the books. It keeps you interesting.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 9.
You're lookin' good and entering a very productive phase. Since you'll be in the mood to work, what do you want to accomplish?
The most difficult part is over. Pretty soon, it'll seem like a dream. Some of it might even be funny, but that might not happen for a while.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
You're entering a more relaxing
prase, but it may not be noticeable till Friday. Between now and then, finish old business.
sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7.
Friends may drop over soon. Are you ready for that? If so, invite them. If not, better clean up your place, or simply don't open the door.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).Today is a 7.
New theories come under attack before they've been tried and perfected. Don't grumble too much. Although awkward, this is a good way to learn.
How far can you get on a Wednesday? You really ought to go. An exotic lunch, or treasures from afar, would brighten a "normal" day.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 9.
rseses(Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7.
The focus is now on you to make a creative decision. Keep your vision in mind, and it's easily done. Don't worry too much about money.

even when the patrols aren't evident, said Mike Wildgen, city manager.
"This division places an emphasis on stop-light running, speeding and general traffic enforcement," Wildgen said. "Hopefully this focus will help us establish an emphasis in those areas over the next three years."
In other Kansas communities, such as Overland Park, the emphasis on traffic patrols has come at the expense of other divisions, like those that cruise the streets late at night as part of the "saturation patrol."
Saturation patrols deploy groups of officers in areas where drinking and driving is
Unlike a sobriety checkpoint, where every driver is pulled over, only those drivers suspected of drinking are detained as part of a saturation patrol.
With the creation of the new traffic safety division, staffing both types of sobriety patrols should be easier
prevalent
"For previous patrols and checkpoints, we required special funding from KDOT to set those up and man them," said Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick.
Because the police department can't qualify for two different grants at once, the old sobriety enforcement grant essentially will run out, said traffic division supervisor Sgt. Randy Roberts.
More patrols and sobriety
checkpoints means the way home for those who risk drinking and driving won't be any easier.
"We will be doing them in the future through this grant, though where or when I just don't know yet," Roberts said. "But our mere presence should help reduce accidents."
For now the presence of the traffic safety division can't be felt anywhere because the highly equipped cars are still on the assembly line.
Until then, the traffic officers are essentially on loan to the patrol division, Roberts said.
The federal grant runs through September 2005, at which point the responsibility for funding the division will fall to the city.

With sophomore forward Wayne Simien out because of an injury and junior forward Jeff Graves fouled out with 1:27 left in the game, sophomore guard Michael Lee had to defend 6-foot-8 Colorado senior forward Stephane Pelle in the Jayhawks' 60-59 loss Jan. 22. The Jayhawks will have an opportunity to avenge their loss tonight against the Buffaloes in Allen Fieldhouse.
Out to even a score
No longer benched Simien prepares to help Hawks beat Buffaloes
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansas.com
Kansan sportswriter
Dislocating his shoulder caused the worst pain sophomore forward Wayne Simien had ever felt, he said shortly after the game against the University of Missouri-Kansas City. That was before he had to watch the Buffaloes shock his Jayhawks, 60-59, in Boulder, Colo.
Simien agonized on the bench as Buffalo senior forward Stephane Pelle overpowered the Jayhawks, scoring a game-high 27 points. The magnitude of Simien's absence was made crystal clear when junior forward Jeff Graves fouled out with 1:27 left to play, and 6-foot-3 sophomore guard Michael Lee was left guarding the 6-foot-8 Pelle on the final possessions. Pelle responded by draining the winning basket over Lee.
"Sitting on the bench and watching your position," Simien said after Sunday's game. "You're like 'Maybe I could have gotten that rebound or maybe that putback.'"
"The hard foul scared me." Williams said.
But all Simien could do was watch and wonder whether things would have been different. He was enduring the fifth of what would be an 11-game absence, and his shoulder was in no shape for Colorado's punishing style of play. The loss ended a streak of 27 consecutive victories against the Buffaloes.
It may have given Simien confidence,but Kansas coach Roy Williams was not thrilled.
Tonight, Simien can finally stop wondering 'what if.'
He and No. 6 Kansas (19-5 overall, 9-1 Big 12 Conference) will meet Colorado (15-8, 5-5) at 6:50 with an opportunity to even the score.
Simien will play in just his second game since the injury. He had 7 points and seven rebounds in 18 minutes during the Jayhawks' 70-51 victory against Iowa State Sunday. The most encouraging part of his performance, Simien said, was his ability to escape two hard fouls and a brief scuffle without reinjuring the shoulder.
Williams' fears were unwarranted, and Kansas avoided any consequences from the skirmish when Big 12 officials announced that the league wouldn't suspend Kansas sophomore guard Aaron Miles for his role in the altercation. Miles shoved Iowa State sophomore center Jared Homan in the head as he separated Simien and Cyclone junior forward Jackson Vroman. Vroman had pushed Simien after Vroman picked up his fifth foul. Big 12 officials said the situation was resolved adequately by giving Miles and Vroman technical fouls.
"It helped my confidence, taking some hard contact like that," he said.

Jayhawks aim for a second victory against Nebraska at tonight's game
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For the Kansas women's basketball team, history repeating itself would be the preference for tonight's game at Nebraska.
The Jayhawks (9-13 overall, 2-9 Big 12 Conference) are looking to end a four-game losing streak tonight in Lincoln by facing the team whom their last victory came against. Kansas beat Nebraska (8-14, 1-10) on Jan. 29 at Allen Fieldhouse, 67-64. Coach Marian Washington's team will know what to expect, and knowing that they are capable of winning could boost the team's morale going in.
"If you saw the game here, you know they're really physical," Washington said. "We'll go in there with a lot of confidence."
After having a week to recover from a 42-point loss at Texas on Feb.8, the Jayhawks returned to the floor Saturday by losing to Missouri, 61-55. One bright spot Kansas takes out of its latest loss
into the Nebraska rematch is its revamped defense.
"I think if we can keep playing the defense we're playing right now, we'll have a shot at them on the road," Washington said.
Another Jayhawk who had a big night in the first meeting with Nebraska was freshman guard Erica Hallman, scoring 10 points. Despite the solid outing, Hallman's teammates would still like to see the freshman take more of a vocal role when she comes off the bench.
"Me, personally, I think Erica needs to come out of her shell," freshman forward Tamara Ransburg said. "She's a team leader, but she's not as vocal as she needs to be."
Tonight's game will also be a second test for sophomore guard Blair Waltz after she was slowed for two games with back pain. Waltz returned to the starting lineup against Missouri, scoring 10 points in 32 minutes on the floor.
In their trip to Lawrence, the Cornhuskers provided a close game that the Jayhawks won behind two free throws from Aquanita Burras with 4.7 seconds

Swimmers dive into Big 12 Conference
Team works to improve last year's conference rank of fifth place
By Jason Hwang

Kansan sportswriter
Coach Clark Campell will have one last opportunity to make his mark on his first season of coaching the Kansas swimming and diving team. The team will compete in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championships this week in Austin, Texas.
The conference championships starts today with the 800-yard freestyle and 200-yard medley relays and will run through Saturday.
"As a coach, I want each of these girls to put extra effort into this meet because this is what we've been training for," swimming coach Clark Campbell said. "If we get season and personal bests from each of the girls, then the points towards the team score will take care of itself."
The Jayhawks finished their regular season with a 7-6 dual record, losing to Iowa State in Lawrence 118-126 on Feb.
8. Kansas' dual record against conference foes this season is 1-3.
Campbell said he could see some of the swimmers doing well in the conference championships and advancing to the NCAA Championships in March.
The Jajhawks finished fifth place in last year's Big 12 Championships in College Station, Texas. The team finished with 487.5 points, leaving them 568 points behind meet winner Texas, which won its fourth consecutive conference title.
Seniors Gwen Halley (4:21.61) and Heidi Landherr (4:23.12) took fourth and fifth place in the 400-yard individual

Sophomore Amy Gruber finished fifth in the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:50.25. In the 100 breaststroke, sophomore Miranda Isaac took fifth (1:04.43), junior Kristen Johnson placed sixth
(1:04.54), junior Whitney Sondall was tied for seventh (57.43) and sophomore Jackie Krueger finished in eighth place (1:05.18).
Isaac finished in fourth place in the 200 breaststroke at 4:19.19, while junior Kristen Johnson was sixth. Gruber took seventh in the 100 freestyle (50.94) while Haley finished the meet with an eighthplace in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:05.50. Landherr got eight place and reached her personal best time of 2:03.91 in the 200 backstroke.
Krueger said she hoped the team would improve on last years conference and finish in the top two or three.
"We all need to concentrate on the race itself, but also get more excited because of the crowd and the whole championship atmosphere," Krueger said.

'Pretty cool to be lil' bro of Jayhawk
Pretty cool?
How cool would it be to be Nick Collison's kid brother?
The 11-year-old Iowa Falls, Iowa native is like a mini celebrity when he comes to the University of Kansas' campus.
Just ask Michael.
"It's pretty cool," the sixth-grader says shyly.
Before Sunday's game against his home-state Cyclones, Michael was in the midst of all the Jayhawk mania.
If he wasn't slapping skin with former Kansas players,such as Nick Bradford,he was handing out highfives to Phanatics after any of Nick's highlights.
"Chaos Collison," as his friends, the Phog Phanatics — who he sits with at every home game — call him, was creating his own carnival.
Nick grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds and tied for game-high honors with 19 points with fellow Iowan and another one of Michael's men, Kirk Hinrich. The pair played their final game against Iowa State, the school who sought them both.
And lil' Mike was just as calm chatting with friend Raef LaFrentz as he was calling out to one of his ball boy buddies.
"Everyone always says I must be the luckiest kid in the world to be able to come here and watch all of this," Michael said.
But he doesn't look much different than any of the other young dreamers whose eyes light up in awe when they enter Allen Fieldhouse except for his height.
Yeah, he his.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
Jessica Scott iscott@kansan.com
People across America know about Kansas basketball and the aura surrounding The Team of the University of Kansas. But, after having the opportunity to closely observe the ins and outs of this program, I've developed an overwhelming feeling: jayhawk fans suck.
Jayhawk fans: fair weather or true blue?
Sorry guys, but it's the truth. We're pathetic.
For a long time I thought Kansas had the greatest fans in the country. The media fusses over students camping out, painting their chests and worshipping Roy for five straight months. While those facts may lead one to believe the hype about Jayhawk fans, when it comes down to it, we cannot even compare to "true" college basketball fans from other universities.
I started to realize this in New York City during the Preseason NIT Tournament. As I watched Kansas lose its first game to North Carolina, I was shocked by the lack of fan support. And after Kansas lost its second game to Florida, I could practically see people taking the first exit off Jayhawk highway.
While I know thousands of people who follow the Hawks are loyal, energetic and insightful basketball fans, my experiences following the team for The University Daily Kansan have exposed me to the minority of sub-par Kansas supporters.
The truth is most students go to games only during freshman year, when they can walk to games and camp out easily. But when it comes time to move out of the residence halls, going to games is just too much of a hassle for a lot of students. It's not as easy to get tickets, let alone get a decent seat. Going to games is just too much work.
This fact was apparent to me during the Kansas State game when I heard some of the stupidest comments being yelled from a kid in the student section who looked about 16. After Kirk Hinrich got fouled, he yelled, "Don't EVER touch my schoolmate like that again!"
What? Why would someone yell that?
The kids who yell insulting comments at opposing players really make me embarrassed to be a Kansas fan. FYI buddy: Even the 12th guy on the bench would tear you apart. You know you would trade places with a Division I athlete in a second, so please just stick to intramurals and keep your mouth shut.
The good overwhelmingly outweigh the bad when it comes to Kansas fans. But, the idiotic fans will always scream stupid comments, the rich season-ticket holders will never stand up, and the blue-hairs will continue to file out in herds with five minutes remaining in the game.
Maybe watching the game on television isn't so bad after all.

Speedway pushes for two races
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One way or another, there will be more fans in the seats for Winston Cup action at Kansas Speedway in 2004.
The track in Kansas City, Kan., joined by government and civic groups on both sides of the state line, is pushing hard for a second Cup date when NASCAR reshuffles its schedule for 2004.
But if a second date doesn't materialize, track president Jeff Boerger said, the 2-year-old speedway will expand again after this season. Kansas Speedway added 1,500 seats in the offseason after its second straight sellout year, bringing

COLUMBIA, Mo. — University of Missouri junior guard Ricky Clemons pleaded not guilty yesterday to a felony charge of choking a woman and refusing to let her leave his apartment.

Clemons voluntarily submitted to a saliva sample before yesterday's hearing but did not elaborate.
Jessica Bunge, 20, of St. Clair, Mo. alleged that Clemons choked her and prevented her from leaving his Columbia apartment the night of Jan. 16.
Clemons was charged with second-degree domestic assault, a felony, and was suspended from the basketball team for one game.
In a separate civil petition for a protective order granted earlier this month, Bunge alleged that the Jan. 16 incident was not the first time Clemons had assaulted her.
Play-by-play announcers for the University of Kansas radio station KJHK 90.7 FM, John Grimmett and Todd Panula, invite you to listen in as they call tonight's men's basketball game against the Colorado Buffaloes live from Allen Fieldhouse. Below Grimmett and Panula bring your expectations for the game.
The Jayhawks enter tonight's game looking for their 105th all-time victory against the Buffaloes of Colorado.
KJHK
The Buffs are looking for all-time victory number 40. That's right — the series record between these two schools stands at 104-39.
Although the Buffalooes (15-8 overall, 5-5 Big 12 Conference) upset the sixth-ranked Jayhawks 60-59 in Boulder less than a month ago, Kansas fans should not be worried. Colorado hasn't left Allen Fieldhouse with a victory since Feb. 10, 1983.
The Jayhawks (19-5, 9-1) have also won 32 of the last 34 games between
the two schools
Kansas has Wayne Simien back and is again a contender for the NCAA National Championship.
Without Simien in the lineup Colorado may have had an opportunity, but with him a defeat is extremely likely.
Look for Simien to be the difference in the game and the reason the Hawks return to dominance.
— John Grimmett, KJHK
Colorado has proven itself to be a contender within the Big 12. It has recorded victories over Texas and Kansas.
Those victories came in Boulder, but tonight the Buffaloes will play in the hostile environment of Allen Fieldhouse.
For the Buffaloes to win, they have to have huge games from their star players. Michael Morandais leads the team scoring 17.4 points per game and will have to live up to that for an upset victory.
KJHK's game coverage will begin at 6:30 p.m. on 90.7 FM.
90.7
KJN3
David Harrison will have to dominate on the inside which will become even more difficult with the return of Simien.
Defense is the ultimate key for Colorado in the end, as shutting down Kirk Hinrich was the main reason for the Buff's victory earlier in the season.
Kansas knows what they have to do to win. They have to come out fast and furious.
As long as Kirk Hinrich comes out firing, takes good shots and the 'Hawks pound the inside with their rotation of Collison, Simien and Graves, there should be no doubt that Kansas will chalk up another victory.

KANSAS BASEBALL NCAA names third baseman National Hitter of the Week
Kansas' Travis Metcalf was named NCAA baseball's National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association and the Big 12 Conference player of the week.
The third baseman batted. 588 (10-for-17) and had five extra-base hits in Kansas' four victories last week.
"I was thrilled with his performance this past week and I couldn't be more proud of that young man," said Kansas coach Ritch Price.
Metcalf blasted three home runs in four games last week, including one in each of Kansas's last two victories against Louisiana State. He led the Jayhawks in hits with 10, batting average with a.588, home runs, and RBI with 10, recording at least two base hits in all four games, including a pair of three-hit games against the Tigers.
Metcalf's first hit of the 2003 season was a 3-run swing to left field which gave the Jayhawks a 4-run lead against Western Illinois on Feb.12. He also followed Casey Spanish's blast against LSU with a homer of his own, giving Kansas back-to-back home runs for the first time since May 2000.
Metcalf is the second Kansas player to win the both awards in three weeks; junior Ryan Baty was awarded Hitter of the Week on Feb. 3 and Big 12 player of the week Feb. 11. This is the first time that two Kansas players have named Big 12 player of the week in the same season.

Kansas City Royals player loses arbitration hearing
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Carlos Beltran, who lost his arbitration hearing last week, reported yesterday to the Kansas City Royals' camp amid speculation he could be traded before the March 31 season opener.
Beltran, who led the Royals with 29 home runs, 105 RBI, 114 runs and 35 stolen bases last season, sought $6.95 million in arbitration. The three-judge panel selected the Royals' figure of $6 million.
Beltran made $3.5 million last year.

Volleyball squad hosts tournament
By Ryan Copeland
rcopeland@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The KU women's volleyball club hosted the third annual Crimson and Blue tournament Saturday at Robinson Center. The team didn't come out on top, but it did display its best performance of the year.
Megan Lacroix, Olathe sophomore and club president, said she was more than happy with the team's performance.
"It was nice to have our best showing so far at home," she said.
The two KU teams, blue and red, finished second and sixth respectively. The University of Colorado wore the 10-team tournament by defeating KU's蓝 team in a best-of-three final. KU won the first game 26-24, but CU bounced back to steal the next two games 25-17 and 15-11 to win the match and the tournament.
The tournament was set up with a first-round round-robin. The 10 squads were divided into two groups, in which every team played each of the other four teams in its group. The roundrobin part of the tournament was used to seed the teams in a bracket system with the top eight teams advancing.
Megan Wood, Dallas sophomore, had a strong showing throughout the tournament at the setter position. Wood provided most of the assists for the team's points. The Jayhawks' defensive star was middle blocker Kristi Charlson, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore.
The women's volleyball club played in four tournaments in the fall. The team was supposed to travel to Ames, Iowa, this weekend to play in a tournament hosted by Iowa State but canceled the trip because of a lack of players.

Mike Tyson to battle unknown opponent in weekend match
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Just when it seemed Mike Tyson's world couldn't get more bizarre, he outdid himself.
Faced with an uncertain future and the reality of throwing away a reported $5 million-plus payday, Tyson pronounced himself ready to fight Clifford Etienne after all.
A day before, the former heavyweight champion backed out of the bout.
Tyson planned to get on a chartered jet yesterday to Memphis, Tenn., despite the misgivings of his trainer.
"I told him, 'Mike, as your friend, I don't think you're ready for the fight," trainer Freddie Roach. "He said, I'm going to knock him out. Are you going to be with me?"
"He made the decision and I'm going to stand behind him," Roach said.
While Tyson's mood swings are
well known, Etienne had a little fit of his own and refused to fight on Saturday night.
His manager, Les Bonano, said he had tried to talk Etienne into fighting, but the boxer was adamant.
Promoters said they had four fighters lined up to replace Etienne if he went through with his threat.
"If I were him, I'd be jumping for joy that he's fighting a Mike Tyson who hasn't trained for days," said Tyson's manager, Shelly Finkel.
Tyson's erratic behavior took another twist yesterday when he said he wanted to go through with the fight. The night before, Tyson said he wasn't 100 percent and didn't want to risk not being his best against Etienne.
Tyson's recent run of odd behavior began a week ago, when he got a large tattoo on his left temple. He then missed three straight sparring sessions.

The Nebraska women's basketball team will try to pull itself out of the Big 12 Conference cellar when they host Kansas at 7 tonight.
Nebraska (8-14 overall, 1-10 Big 12) is tied with Oklahoma State (1-10 Big 12) for last place in the conference, but a victory over the Jayhawks (9-13, 2-9 Big 12) would give both teams two victories in the Big 12 and avenge a 67-
64 loss in Lawrence, Jan. 29. A victory for Kansas could move the Jayhawks into ninth place in the conference and provide a twogame lead over the Huskers.
The Huskers allowed Jayhawk
If Nebraska wants to stop Kansas this time around, the Huskers must get quality production in the paint. Forward Alexa Johnson leads the Huskers in scoring, 15.8 points per game, and center Katie Morse is second, with in 12 points per game, but Nebraska may have to worry defensively.

"I am not really excited," Ransburg said. "I just wanted the team to come out and play. It isn't about
Ransburg said she was happy to be able to put up big numbers but wanted to convert individual success into a victories at Nebraska.
"It's a game that we will go in there with a lot of confidence," Washington said. "I think if we can keep playing defensively the way we are playing right now, we will have a shot at them on the road."
Kansas coach Marian Washington said that despite the narrow margin of victory at home earlier this season, her team sees an opportunity to get a victory in the Huskers' home gym.

Buffaloes need to take home with them
By John Domoney
jdomoney@kansan.com
Kansan sport/switer
Ricardo Patton is aware that the Coors Event Center is gaining a reputation for being one of the more difficult arenas to win in around the Big 12 Conference.
Whether it is the altitude, or the Buffaloes' aggressive play in front of their home fans, Colorado has a 12-1 record at home this season including victories over No. 6 Kansas and No. 3 Texas.
Colorado's road trips have been another story.
"I think the only thing I can come up with is we're not mature enough to realize how hard it is to play and win on the road," said Patton, Colorado men's basketball coach, during Monday's Big
12 teleconference.
The Buffaloos have won only three games away from Boulder this season and none of those victories have come in the Big 12. Colorado is 0-5 on the road this season in the conference.
When Patton leads his team onto the floor at 6:30 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse, he expects the partisan Jayhawk contingent of fans to make for a hostile atmosphere.
"There will be 16,000 screaming fans," Patton said. "For whatever reason that environment has always been hostile towards us. I don't expect anything to be different, so it won't be anything new to us."
The only new aspect to tonight's match-up is the motivation that Kansas is sure to contain as the Jayhawks will be looking to avenge their only conference loss. Colo-

matter how many minutes he would blay.
Patton said he expected Simien to play a major role in the game no
"I think we can still get the ball inside," said Patton referring to his two post players, Harrison and Pelle. "The difference now is Simien is a better offensive player than Graves."
Despite the added concern of Patton pertaining to the return of Simien to the Jayhawk lineup, Patton said he was working the hardest to help his team make a run at the NCAA tournament.
After tonight's game, Colorado has five remaining home games, with three of the five games scheduled for the Coors Events Center.
Colorado plays its final home game against Nebraska on March 8. The game follows home contests with Missouri and Oklahoma State.
The road contests come against Iowa State and Baylor Both the Cyclones and the Bears are wallowing at the bottom of the conference standings.
With victories at home against Texas and Kansas, and possibly a couple of more home victories against Oklahoma State and Missouri. Colorado would figure to have quality victories that the NCAA selection committee likes to see.
Still, the question about Colorado's capabilities on the road remains.
"We've just got to keep playing good basketball," Patton said. "And find a way to play better on the road. We've had our chances, but we haven't gotten over the hump."

Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said he expected Kansas sophomore forward Wayne Siemi to be a major factor in the Jayhawks' match-up with the Buffaloes at 6:30 p.m. Siemi, who had 7 points and seven rebounds in 18 minutes against Iowa State Sunday, will return to Allen Fieldhouse tonight for his second game since an 11-game absence.

measured" he proudly states, while standing over some of the shorter female Phanatics.
The differences quickly develop when one takes a closer look at Michael.
He's already got a basketball frame like his brother and the unmistakable freckles to match.
His white Kansas home jersey — the staple outfit in his game-day wardrobe proudly promotes his brother's No. 4 and their last name.
The bond between the two is not just of blood, there's of course—basketball.
But basketball didn't always mean so much to the Riverbend Middle schooler, who has a speciality for social studies but not science.
In fact, just two years ago as a fourth-grader, he didn't understand what the big deal was with his big bro.
"I think people put a lot of pressure on him," Nick said. "Here's this 9-year-old kid, and everyone's always coming up to him and asking if he's going to be as good as his older brother. I think it kind of turned him off."
But basketball and being a Collision inevitably collided.
"We never tried to put pressure on any of our kids to play the sport," said dad Dave Collison, who guided Nick through his All-American career at Iowa Falls High School and currently coaches Michael's sixth-grade team, the Cadets. "But Michael, like Nick and our daughter, Katie, has developed a love for basketball.
"Once you have that love, everything else starts from there."
And make no mistake.
Michael wants to play the game,
maybe even as a Jayhawk.
"But if North Carolina calls, I'll have to listen to them," Michael says with a grin.
He wants to be an inch taller than Nick, and he already has a
bet with a classmate that if he doesn't have a shoe contract within his fifth year of the NBA, he owes him 500 bucks.
But as childishly normal as Michael sounds one moment, he'll spit out sentences that would astonish any college grad the next.
"I'm really fortunate to be able to meet some of the players that made all the tradition here possible," he said. "Men here today like Milt Newton and Rex Walters helped build the foundation of this program for players like my brother."
Being the brother of Nick Collison has its perks.
Michael has traveled all around America with his All-American sibling.
Hawaii and New York offered him trips of a lifetime.
But he feels best when he and his brother are at home in Iowa Falls during school breaks.
They have practiced countless hours at the same gym were Nick polished his low-post maneuvers.
"He'll show me some of his moves, and then I'll go out and try them." Michael said. "He's really taught me a lot about the game."
Yet the game, their mother Judy says, has taught the two more than both might understand right now.
"Basketball has really brought them close together," she says with a smile. "Nick and Katie were always close because of their ages, but it's been different with Michael because he's younger."
"Basketball has been really special the last couple of years, in bringing both of them together."
Nick said he pondered the possibility of having had a childhood like Michael's.
"I was such a basketball junkie that I would have loved getting to go all the games like he does," Nick said, with the same sheepish grin as Michael's. "And I think he realizes how awesome it is."

Neon sign bill doesn't pass Senate committee
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In a sales pitch to Student Senate committee meetings, Kip Slattery of Luminous Neon Inc. showed Senate members and blinded those who were too close a red and amber electric sign that would be affixed upon Wescoe Hall to advertise campus events.
The bill to fund the $37,000 electric pass signed in University Affairs but failed in the Finance Committee last night.
It's not going to be a ticker tape of stock quotes and basketball games."
Kyle Johnson engineering senator
Student Body President Jonathan Ng and Vice President Loren Malone drafted the bill, which would take money from the reserve account that has been building through the years and is now $450,000 deep.
"I find it very disappointing that members of the Finance Committee are not willing to fund the sign that would clearly benefit the student body." Ng said.
Generally every year,$40,000 rolls over into the reserve account. The rollover comes from unused student organization money that Senate funded,Ng said.
Catherine Bell, Student Executive Committee chairwoman, said Student Senate was stingy with spending reserve money. Bell is in favor of the sign.
"It will bring attendance and membership to the very same things that we spend so many hours debating on whether or not to fund," she said.
Ryan Faulconer, Colorado Springs. Colo., junior, is a Finance Committee member against the sign, which would cost Senate $1,384 a year to maintain.
"I don't know if it's worth $37,000," he said. "$37,000 just doesn't seem right."
Faulkoner also said that visibility was an issue. Even though Wescoe Beach is a high traffic area, he said some students, such as law and engineering students who usually stick to classrooms on 15th Street, wouldn't benefit from the sign.
Kyle Johnson, engineering senator said most of his classroom time was spent

GTAC questions dismissal
Provost to review member termination
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Members of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition delivered a letter to the Office of the Provost yesterday asking it to review the termination of one of
its members.
GTAC members think Abdel-Rahman Al-Gibaly was unfairly terminated from his teaching assistant position this semester, said Brian Lindaman, grievance chairman for GTAC. Al-Gibaly was a graduate teaching assistant in the department of African and African-American Studies during the Fall 2002 semester.
"We want to bring awareness to this event," Lindaman said. "This behavior
doesn't lead to good teaching."
The letter was hand delivered to Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost for academic affairs, because Provost David Shulenburger was at the Board of Regents meeting in Topeka. The letter was delivered by Lindaman, Dan Carey, GTAC president, and Julie Littlethunder, GTAC member.
The letter, which was only two paragraphs, asked the University of Kansas to pay Al-Gibaly for the spring semester,
reimburse tuition for the spring semester, provide health care and remove any record of the incident from his personnel file, said Lindaman. These items were all included in Al-Gibaly's contract.
Lindaman said the termination of Al-Gibaly had been based on a single evaluation by his immediate supervisor in the department of African and African-American Studies. Al-Gibaly had asked

Instead, the Oxford senior is concentrating on another course he's taking this semester: flying. Short is one of a

"I went with a friend and his dad up to the lake one time and that was pretty much all it took." Short said of his first foray into private aviation. "It's one of those things there's always something new and exciting to challenge yourself with."
A Washington, D.C.-based company is offering other prospective pilots around the country the opportunity to get started in general aviation for less than $50.
The discounted first lesson is part of the Be A Pilot program offered through a group called General Aviation. The program began in 1997 in response to the aviation industry's alarm at the dwindling numbers of private pilots.
A certificate available on the company's Web site offers anyone interested
in flying the possibility to take an initial lesson through their local airport. KU students and Lawrence residents can take lessons at Hetrick Aircraft Inc., for almost half the usual cost.
A private pilot certificate can earn students two or three hours of KU credit through the department of aerospace engineering.
"I think the lesson's a good idea," said Nick Weyers, North Platte, Neb., junior.

Student works to promote, strengthen others' faith
Lawrence sophomore Michael Blanck works 20 hours a week for a Catholic organization that promotes prayer, penance and sacrifice. Blanck said he answered phone calls about the organization and the Catholic faith.

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.
The Lawrence sophomore works 20 hours a week answering phone calls for the America Needs Fatima organization in Silver Lake,10 miles northwest of Topeka. The organization
Michael Blanck defends and spreads his faith around the nation.
Faces in the Crowd
comprises Catholics who want to spread the Fatima message, which they believe brings people back to God through prayer, penance and sacrifice.
back to God through prayer Blanck's parents are heavily involved in the Catholic church and raised Blanck in a traditional Catholic upbringing.
Blanck answers phone calls regarding the Catholic faith and Fatima message, and other employees of the organization go into private residences to
spread the Fatima message.
"I guess you could say that I'm in customer service, but this isn't the kind of customer service job that you pop in and fill out a job application," Blanck said. "Although I've never gone to a house to spread my faith, I would certainly go if I were asked to."
The organization is a part of a national group called The American Society for Defense of Tradition, Family and Property. Founded in 1974, the group was formed to resist the liberal, socialist and communist trends of the modern world. The group also affirms what it calls the "positive values" of Catholic tradition, including tradition, family and property. Those who support the Fatima message also believe that both world wars were messages to the world to straighten up.
Francis Slobonik, office manager at the America Needs Fatima Organization, appreciates Blanck's laid-back personality.
"His relaxed personality keeps him from getting all worked up when he answers difficult phone calls," Slobonik said.
Blanck's job has become more challenging with the turmoil that the Catholic Church has experienced with regards to recent allegations of child molestations by Catholic priests. However, he
"I guess you could say that I'm in customer service,but this isn't the kind of customer service job that you pop in and fill out a job application."
Michael Blanck Lawrence sophomore
describes his experiences as a welcomed challenge.
"I was shocked at the allegations," Blanck said. "It's ridiculous that this would happen in a church environment—as moral as the church is supposed to be."
Besides spreading the Fatima message, the organization also organizes frequent protests. The group protested outside Lawrence movie theaters when Doama was released.
"It was a blasphemous movie," Blanck said.
When he leaves work at the end of the day, Blanck said, he feels satisfied.
"I feel like I've done good," he said

University: spring enrollment creates record with 27,000
Enrollment at the University of Kansas Lawrence campus set a record high of more than 25,000 students this spring while total University enrollment exceeded 27,000 for the first time since 1994, almost beating the record of 27,569 enrolled set in 1993.
"It's great news," said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. "Usually spring enrollment is considerably lower than fall, but we have 97 percent of the enrollment from the fall."
The University is the largest university in the Kansas Board of Regents system and leads other Kansas schools in enrollment gains.
"One out of every three students enrolled at a Kansas regents school attends KU,"Bretz said."We also have the largest number of Kansas students enrolled."
Lawrence campus enrollments include students enrolled at the KU Edwards Campus in Overland Park and at the Public Management Center in Topeka.

Researchers working to improve youth fitness levels
By Amy Potter
apotter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every three days, students at Wakarusa Valley Elementary School have physical education class.
The first 15 minutes are spent in aerobic exercise, and the next 15 minutes are devoted to some kind of skill, such as learning to dribble a basketball. The final 15 minutes are spent playing a game, said Dorothy Kemps, PE teacher at Wakarusa Valley Elementary School.
"We try to be more active than that. We only have 45 minutes. My goal is to have them active 40 of the 45 minutes, but it doesn't always happen," Kemps said.
Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development have raised
concern that school districts such as Lawrence's and others across the country are not devoting enough time to PE classes.
A study conducted by the institute found American children had on average 2.1 PE classes a week. Of the 68.7 minutes spent in class during the week, only 25 minutes are spent in moderate to vigorous activity.
Carolyn Roy, research associate and courtesy assistant professor of human development and family life at the University, is the principle investigator for the research site in Kansas that assists in the national study. She is responsible for 130 students who have participated in the study since birth. The students are now in sixth grade.
The findings came from a set of school visits done when the children were in third grade. The children were observed the entire day with a PE class included in the observation.
"We may be cutting PE programs to save money now,but later on down the road the government will have to shell out even more money for health care."
Carolyn Roy Assistant professor of human development and family life
"The key findings coming from the data analysis show that children are getting far below the national recommendation for physical education," Roy said.
Julie Dunnaway, Lawrence graduate student, wants to make a
career as an elementary school or junior high PE teacher. She said the results of the study and the reduction of PE classes in K-12 schools alarmed her.
To combat the time restraints with students Dunnaway plans on making the most out of every minute in class.
"I'm going to get them in there and start warm-ups right away. I'll give them the instructions for the rest of class while we're doing something so we won't waste time," Dunaway said.
Dunnaway also plans on having intramural activities before or after school and gives her students opportunities with at-home activities, she said.
"It's important we treat the whole kid, and that doesn't mean just academics," Dunnaway said.
Obesity among children is a concern, but the effects of little
physical activity could lead to serious problems in the long term, Roy said.
"We may be cutting PE programs to save money now, but later on down the road the government will have to shell out even more money for health care," Roy said.
The study was published in the February issue of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. The Kansas research site was given $3.3 million by the national institute.
PE is important, Kemps said because if children don't get exercise at school, more than likely they are not going to get it at home.
"PE really teaches kids how to get in shape," Kemps said. "We don't really have enough time to get them in shape."

Carolyn Roy is researching the effects of child care and youth development on more than 130 children younger than 13. Roy's findings concluded that children in the third grade did not receive enough exercise in PE class at school.
Creating a budget not difficult but requires prioritizing
For most students, budgeting means grasping a $20 bill and pondering, "Which will it be — a case of Bud Light or dinner tonight?"
While it may be possible to forego food for an evening, it's less likely you'll be able to blow off more important financial commitments such as rent or a car payment.
Managing money is about prioritizing. Unfortunately, most of us are still contemplating the food or liquor quandary. How are confused, naive college students expected to manage their money, despite how minuscule that sum might be?
As a financial adviser with David M. King & Associates Ltd. of Lawrence, Roger Sche-
newerk has helped similarly clueless individuals make decisions about spending and saving for the past decade.
"You have to weigh your priorities," Schenewerk said. "Having been a college student myself, I too had to manage my money."
Schenewerk said he told parents of in-state college students to expect $9,500 in tuition and living expenses for the 2002- 2003 school year. That total increases 5 percent or 6 percent a year with inflation, he said, not including tuition increases.

This theoretical student, assuming she doesn't receive any financial assistance, is in trouble. Of course, various factors affect the total.
When determining a budget, one should ask the following questions: How much financial support can I expect? Do I pay my own car payments or insurance? Which utilities do I pay
for? Do I own a car or ride the bus? Do I purchase tickets for KU sports? Will I be buying a lot of birthday presents or donating to charities? Do I go tanning? Am I a crazy tipper? And finally, will I need a separate category for my liquor expenses?
Designing a budget is easy. The problem, as any shopaholic knows, is sticking to it.
Schenewerk said it was difficult to adhere to a budget when the dreaded plastic comes into the equation.
"That's the biggest trap right there, not having to take the money out of your wallet," he said. "You don't feel the pain — you just keep accumulating debt."
Schenewerk said the best way to avoid the pangs of the plastic was to pay for purchases entirely with cash or check, although I would argue occasionally hiding the credit card can be a rewarding lesson.
In the end, Schenewerk said, it all comes back to prioritizing. Cutting back expenses might mean going out to eat less, he said, or attending a matinee as opposed to an evening show.
"You might ask, 'Do I really need that fourth drink?'"" Schenewerk said. "Maybe three will be good enough."
Maybe. Unless, of course your drink is your dinner.

PERSPECTIVE
Kansas: Fund education instead of incarceration
As Gov. Kathleen Sebelius takes office, state governments across the country face the largest budget crunch in 50 years. According to The Topeka Capital Journal, the projected shortfall in Kansas is about $750 million. Amid the panic that arises out of such a crisis, concerned citizens look to where the ax will fall, where spending is needed most and where funding can be cut.
Education is often a hot topic in this debate, but any reasoned analysis shows it should be the last item on the chopping block. Most major studies on poverty and quality of life have shown that the higher level of education people receive, the more likely they are to work in steady jobs, bolster the local economy and make these sorts of budget crises a rarity.
P.
Steve Ducey
union@hansan.com
One excellent choice is the over inflated corrections budget. From 1973 to 1993, nationwide state corrections spending increased 1,200 percent while higher education spending increased 419 percent. No justified argument exists for such a disparity in state spending priorities. Money needs to be placed back into education, not incarceration
In light of these facts, education funding should not be cut, and could realistically demand a much larger share of the budget than it currently receives. The only question remaining is where, in such a dire economic situation, are these funds going to be found?
COMMENTARY
Even prison supervisors find the mas
Upon returning to a world of dismal opportunities, it is no wonder that a large portion of recently released non-violent
sive prison population, which now totals more than 2 million people, grossly unnecessary. A recent survey found that 92 percent of wardens thought alternatives to incarceration needed to be used and even went as far as to say that half of their inmates could be released without endangering public safety.
Imprisonment teaches a nonviolent offender (of which the majority of prisoners today are) little, except how to be a better criminal. It does nothing to teach the person how to be a better citizen, who can work in a legitimate job and contribute to society in positive ways. Prison forces the individual to be removed from society for years only to be readmitted into a competitive job market where he or she is denied meaningful work or education thanks to a criminal record.
criminals become repeat offenders and wind up right back in prison. These people are doing their country no good by being continually locked behind bars, networking with other criminals and being denied alternatives that could actually help them to get out and stay out.
One logical alternative is education. Not only does educating a person have a higher return for society than imprisoning them, the cost to do so is remarkably lower. The estimated cost to imprison one person for one year, $25,000, is the same amount of money needed to educate 40 people for one year.
By taking the half of our prison population that wardens themselves feel to be no danger to society and placing them in institutions of learning rather than the "school of hard knocks." we will save our beleaguered budget, bundles of money, and in the process create a much more humane and helpful alternative to our counter-productive system of incarceration, one with legitimate positive returns for society.
Contact Sebelius, your state representative or get involved with KU Students for Sensible Drug Policy to alleviate a portion of the budget crisis by changing Kansas' misguided and costly policies on rehabilitating non-violent criminals.

PERSPECTIVE
Superiority can become violent
We have all done it at some time. We pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. But when the pats keep multiplying it can be detrimental. Having too high self-esteem can actually keep you from being your best.
As children we were nurtured and taught that we had worth. This is healthy, but as the praises go upward, so do our noses. And researchers, such as Brad Bushman of Iowa State University and Roy Baumeister of Case Western Reserve University, have said that high self-esteem is not showing higher performance, but it is showing up in cases of dangerous activities.
COMMENTARY
Baumeister's research shows that murder, rape, domestic abuse and terrorism are activities often used by people with high self-esteem. The authors say "people turn aggressive when they receive feedback that contradicts their favorable views (of themselves). More to the point, it is mainly the people who refuse to lower their self-appraisals who become violent."
Elizabeth Moss opinion@kansan.com
History proves this theory correct in several instances. Consider the Nazis and their view of superiority. The Ku Klux Klan attacked people who did not fit white supremacy. They mostly
attacked blacks and those who were willing to defend a racially diverse society.
In recent memory, one of the three sureties about Osama bin Laden is that he has a high self-esteem. (The other two are a lot of nerve and a tombstone or soon-to-be tombstone.) His mission's self-worth is so high that he is willing to send terror upon one of the most prominent countries in the world.
There are hidden moral consequences of a high self-esteem, but there are also moral downfalls to a low self-esteem.
When people have low self-esteem, they need the opinions of others in order to make decisions and justify actions. This brings in a plethora of viewpoints for a proposal that can help to make a solid conclusion. But if people have
In fact, negative emotions toward ourselves can cause us to abuse our own bodies. Take anorexia or bulimia, for example. They're partially caused by little selfworth.
such low self-esteem that they cannot come with their own sense of right and wrong, they also have a problem.
Another misconception about self esteem and sense of mission is that they are connected. A person can have a high self-esteem or low self-esteem and still have a high sense of purpose or wish to perform to a high standard.
So next time the pats on the back grow more and more frequent, remember Baumeister and his colleagues. They concluded in their studies, "The societal pursuit of high self-esteem for everyone may literally end up doing considerable harm."
So when taking on the semester, I suggest watching the level of your selfesteem. Is it too high? Is it too low? Perhaps it is in the middle.
I think we would all agree that it is OK to have a favorable view of ourselves. We just need to allow conflicting views to flow in and out as well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Democratic Republic
A comment on the Matthew Dunavan commentary (Kansan, Feb. 17). America is a democratic republic, not a democracy. There is a difference. A democracy is a form of government to which the supreme power is vested in and exercised directly by the people or by their representatives elected under a free electoral system. A democratic republic is a state in which the supreme power is with the citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen by them. It takes away from a valid argument when it is clear the author is clueless and was not paying attention in civics class, despite the teacher's best effort to instill in the author useful knowledge.

Balance weighted opinions
My biggest complaint about The University Daily Kansan is that there is rarely balance in the opinion section. Most of the time there is only one article about a topic, and it is almost always to the left. All I want is both sides of an issue. You want to publish an anti-war article, fine, but there should also be a pro-war article.
Every time the paper only prints the left side, it puts the Kansan that much closer to bias. The times that the Kansan does print both sides builds its credibility.

Cheers to coach Washington
I am writing to thank Ryan Greene for his recent column "Washington deserves more respect for career's work" (Kansan, Feb. 11). He indicated that in his three years at the University of Kansas, he had not paid much attention to coach Washington and her teams. Now he has found a woman who should be respected. Thank you, Ryan. I hope your fellow students will give coach Washington and her basketball players similar attention.
I have known coach Washington and her teams since 1979 when I arrived as an assistant professor on this campus. The conditions for women athletes were so bad that I immediately collected money for Lynette Woodard's graduation present and for many women seniors after her. Women did not receive senior rings, had low attendance and no academic help. Coach Washington was first in line to change all that. If for no other reason than her achievements in ensuring women's equity, at least as it is today, she has earned more respect than any other coach on campus. Wake up, student body! Come to see what real class is, before it is too late. Your next chance will be 1:05 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Hackers seeking thrills, not damages
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
David Supuran has never taken a computer science class, never worked as a computer consultant and is just shy of his 18th birthday. In many ways he is a typical hacker.
Supuran, who lives in Florida and has yet to graduate high school, said he had access to a variety of networks, including some of the most difficult to crack, such as government and military networks.
"I've hacked into various things," Supuran said. "I've pretty much been on everything."
According to many experts, Supuran is exactly the type of person who hacks: a rank amateur by résumé but a hardened veteran by practice.
"Hackers tend to be younger people with a lot of computer skills," said Jeff Lanza, special agent in the FBI's Kansas City, Mo. office. "Most hackers aren't doing it to get any specific information they're doing
it for the thrill."
As the FBI continues its investigation of last month's hacking at the University of Kansas, which left 1,450 international students victims of identity theft, experts said they would not be surprised if the culprit or culprits were actually thrill-seeking youths.
"Because of the trails they left behind and what they did, I don't think whoever hacked into the system intended to get into the SEVIS data," said Cory Bosley, Topeka sophomore, who has worked as a systems administrator at Harvard University among other places. "They probably just found it while poking around the machine. They were being curious. It just went too far."
Although they said they were unfamiliar with the University's recent hacking, experts said hackers generally had similar backgrounds. Adam Moskowitz, who has worked as a computer consultant for a variety of network based software companies, said hacking was typically a pastime for introverts who could not

find social acceptance elsewhere.
"It's people who say getting into such and such a system means something," he said.
James O'Kane, a systems administrator at the University of Pittsburgh, which has comparable enrollment to KU, said most hackers didn't get into hacking looking to find sensitive information.
Moskowitz said most hackers were "script kiddies," young, untrained people for whom hacking is more of a thrill than a way to make a living; a small percentage of hackers engage in high-stakes
"That's probably about 1 percent of computer security problems," he said.
industrial espionage.
The difference between a script kiddy and a criminal who uses hacking for personal gain is a distinctive one for those in the computer industry, but it's a non sequitur in the eyes of law enforcement, the FBI's Lanza said.
"If you're fishing around and you're breaking into computers that your not supposed to it's a crime," he said. "It doesn't matter what your motive is."
Most hackers end up either getting caught or growing up. For Supuran, the case was both. After tangling with law enforcement and what he said was the wrong type of people. Supuran said he has gone completely legitimate.
He offered a warning.
"People that have malicious intentions don't have much to stop them from keeping up their behavior," he said. "It's just another moral battle in life for people to deal with."

Senate to give SRS $2.2 billion budget
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A Senate committee has endorsed a nearly $2.2 billion budget for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services in the next fiscal year, making no changes in Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' spending proposal.
The agency's funding in the fiscal year that starts July 1 would rise about 8 percent, or $160 million, from this year's level.
But even as they endorsed the governor's proposal yesterday, members of the Senate Ways and Means Committee expressed concern about a potential $1.4 million federal fine facing SRS.
Agency officials also acknowledged the federal government has been questioning more than $16 million in claims.
The committee's chairman, Sen. Steve Morris (R -- Hugoton), later called the SRS budget one of the most difficult to consider.
Sen. Paul Feleciano (D -- Wichita) expressed surprise and asked if there were any other fines the committee wasn't aware of.
Laura Howard, deputy SRS secretary for health care policy, said the federal government is also questioning Kansas' use of about $16 million in federal funds.
This week, SRS appealed when federal officials questioned $5.1 million the agency is spending on a program that determines whether Kansans should receive disability benefits.
Employees and those who receive the services share blame for the error, said Candy Shively, deputy SRS secretary for service delivery.

Orchestra to play new composition
By Lauren Bristow
ibristow@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Performances this week at the Lied Center included a comedian, a Broadway musical and a children's play. Tonight's performance—orchestra.
The KU Symphonic Orchestra will be playing a special Latin American-inspired composition by Gabriela Frank, the University of Kansas' composer in-residence during its 7-50 performance tonight in the Lied Center.
Ian Hankewich, interim director for the KU Symphonic Orchestra, said the orchestra would perform four parts of Gabriela's five-part composition. The second part of her composition features work by Ernesto
Frank's composition, "Five Latin American Dances for Orchestra" showcases salsa, Cuban salon, tango, Andian and Peruvian coastal music, Frank said.
"The composition was inspired by different types of Latin-American art," she said. "It is designed to celebrate different cultures and art pieces."
The orchestra will be playing Frank's composition along with a work by Samuel Barber during its first part of the performance "Music of the Americas." After intermission, the orchestra will perform more traditional symphonic music, Hankewich said.
"This is different from normal orchestra," Yeh said. "For example, some of the dances represented don't have strings in them. We have to use strings to imitate the percussion."
Frank said her residency was sponsored by a grant the Spencer Art Museum received from the Museum Loan Network, an organization that facilitates and funds the long-term loan of art and objects among U.S. institutions.
Frank uses orchestra instruments to imitate Latin-American music and instruments, said Geoff Yeh, Taipei, Taiwan, doctoral student and violinist in the orchestra.
Lecuona, Cuba's version of George Gershwin. She has taken pre-existing tunes and melodies and put her own personal stump on them," Hankewich said.
The museum received two grants totaling nearly $40,000 from the network to research and obtain 10 pieces of Latin-American art for an extended loan, as
well as commission a composer in residence, said Sally Hayden, public relations director for the museum. The art is on loan to the museum until August.
Frank's residency was originally slated to last one year, but because of unforeseen circumstances, such as the events of Sept. 11, her residency has been extended to about a year and a half, Frank said.
Frank lives in the San Francisco bay area. As composer-inresidence, she makes periodic visits to the University. This trip is her fourth visit to campus. During previous visits, she talked in music classes and Latin-American studies classes. Frank will return again in April.

High fuel prices may affect cost of services
The Associated Press
At Eagle Communications in Hays, rising gasoline prices are boosting the costs of driving the cable television and Internet company's service trucks. But Eagle isn't planning to pass that cost along to its customers.
"We can't cut service." Eagle president and chief executive Gary Shornman said. "Our customers expect a high level of service. The best you can do is be aware of that excess cost."
With a gallon of gas in Kansas now at $1.61 — about 51 cents more than a year ago
Eagle and other Kansas businesses are sucking up the extra
costs, at least for now. It's not likely to last forever, and people already paying more to fill up their own cars are likely to also face higher prices for goods and services.
Shorman said the company couldn't avoid the cost of fuel; its trucks had to roll. Eagle has a fleet of about 15 vehicles and offers cable, digital cable and high-speed Internet service to a sprawling area in western Kansas, stretching about 170 miles from Goodland to Russell.
He said there was no immediate cost to Eagle customers, but a price increase could come if gas prices stayed high.
Religious freedom bill wins House approval
The Associated Press
The measure, titled the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, advanced to final House action on a 65-58 vote. It would go to the Senate next.
TOPEKA — A bill making it easier for individuals and groups to challenge state or local laws for violating their religious freedoms won tentative House approval yesterday.
detention facilities or when the government could show a law or rule was the least restrictive means of serving a "compelling government interest." Anyone aggrieved by a law could challenge it in court.
Patterned on a federal law that was struck down in 1997, the bill provides that the state and local governments "shall not substantially burden a person's or group's exercise of religion" — even with a law unrelated to religion.
Exceptions would be allowed only for jails, prisons or other
Twelve states have adopted such statutes since the U.S. Supreme Court throw out the federal law in 1997, ruling that it unconstitutionally usurped the power of federal courts and the states.
During yesterday's House debate, some critics questioned the need for the bill and said such a law would probably be found unconstitutional.
A few House members said the measure could make it harder to prosecute some cases of child abuse.
Legislators say more school aid 'dim this session'
TOPEKA — Legislative leaders told more than 200 local school officials yesterday that prospects for additional state aid and for serious effort to consolidate districts were dim this session.
The Associated Press
The comments were offered during a two-day governmental relations seminar by the Kansas Association of School Boards, many of which were grappling with budget cuts and declining enrollments.
"We'll get through it," said Kerr (R-Hutchinson.) "It may not be desirable, but it won't be catastrophic."
House Speaker Doug Mays and Senate President Dave Kerr said despite the state's economic woes, Kansas must position itself for good budget years certain to come. That position, they said, must include a sound education system.
Kansas spends $2.3 billion in state revenue each year on elementary and secondary education, although the appropriation for the current budget year was cut by more than $17 million in August. Neither Kerr nor Mays would say if further cuts would be avoided in fiscal year 2004, which begins July 1.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius told the KASB members yesterday evening, "i will leave no stone unturned until I find ways to bring more resources to Kansas schools."
Under her proposed budget, spending on public schools would remain at $3,863 per pupil in fiscal 2004 — $7 per student less than the amount for fiscal 2002. Sebelius said "nuts and bolts" costs for districts continued to increase.
But she gave no indication that she would propose a tax increase for education in the current legislative session, which reached its halfway point yesterday.
KASB President Dick Short of Goodland said school board members were faced with making substantial cuts in programs.
Short said economic conditions made it difficult for local boards to ask their taxpayers to pay more, especially in rural communities hard hit by drought.
Kerr said the tough times allowed all levels of government, including schools, to redouble efforts to be efficient. However, insurance and other rising costs put districts in a financial bind, he added.
Mays (R-Topeka) said the budget crisis contributed to the House debate about consolidating school districts.
"In northwest Kansas, if we ask farmers for more money, we are going to be in trouble," Short said.
"I don't know if it gets very far this session," Mays said. "It's too big an issue to get your arms around."

Largest U.S.deployment since Vietnam
The Associated Press
FORT CARSON, Colo. Capt. Mike West has two things to do before shipping out to the Middle East in a few days: spend time with his wife and son and pick out two baby names.
His wife, Amy, is pregnant and her husband does not know whether to expect a son or daughter.
The Wests were among hundreds of families who gathered
inside the fieldhouse at Fort Carson for a farewell ceremony in front of a giant American flag.
About 4,800 soldiers of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team are scheduled to depart in coming days as part of the buildup in the Middle East — the unit's largest deployment since 1966, during the Vietnam War. Military officials will not say exactly where in the Middle East they are headed.
By the end of the month, 11,000 of the post's 15,000 troops
should be deployed, which would make it the mountain post's largest deployment since World War II, Maj. Gen. Robert Wilson said.
"As guardians of peace, I know you don't desire war, but you will do your duty as directed," Wilson told soldiers standing in rigid rows and wearing green fatigues.
Spc. Roger Sparks, who is 21-years-old, attended fresh from marrying his 18-year-old wife, Tiffani, at a ceremony Tuesday in
the El Paso County Clerk's Office. A big wedding is planned for later.
"He's leaving and I wanted to do this before he left," said Tiffani Sparks, who was in the Air Force and was due at her own base Thursday.
In Windsor Locks, Conn., about 100 National Guard troops who operate and maintain CH-47 Chinook helicopters also prepared to ship off yesterday to Fort Dix, N.J., where they will await deployment orders.
Hundreds of people were present at the farewell ceremony for Company G of the 104th Aviation Regiment.
As her husband climbed on a truck, Julie Parker said the hardest part was not knowing where he was headed — and explaining the situation to the couple's 8-year-old child.
"How do you explain anything like this? At least I believe in the cause — it's for a good reason," she said.
Club where 21 died has troublesome history
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The night spot where 21 people died in a stampede this week was a popular hip-hop club with a reputation for trouble.
Police superintendent, Terry Hillard, said officers had responded to 80 calls of battery and other trouble at or near the club in the last three years.
Kyles and Calvin Hollins have run the popular South
Side club, E2, which has had several names, since the early 80s.
According to public records, Dwain J. Kyles is president and owner of Le Mirage Studio Ltd., which owns both E2 and Epitome. His father, the Rev. Samuel Billy Kyles, was a close associate of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a close friend of Jackson and a founder of Operation PUSH.
The spot was envisioned as a place African American professionals could mix with celebrities like George Benson, P. Diddy and 50 Cent, and members of Chicago's professional sports teams.
It worked. The club was a popular dance spot.
When authorities tried to shut down the nightclub a year ago, community leaders rushed to defend it, saying it was an important, African-American owned business. In a letter to a city alderman, the Rev. Jesse
Jackson called Epitome, a restaurant underneath E2, "one of the few fine dining establishments in Chicago owned and operated by African Americans."
Whether the outcry helped keep the club open was unknown yesterday. City officials said a court order to close E2 was clear, while club attorneys said it was open to interpretation.
At the time, the Rev. Bamani Obadele complained the city was cracking down for crimes that were actually occurring outside the club. After the stampede, Obadele said he was second-guessing the push to keep E2 open.
An attorney for Kyles has said the judge's order last year pertained to only one section of the club, a point the city disputes. Hillard said police didn't know about an order to close the club — and it stayed open.
Flash flood may result from rain, snowmelt
The Associated Press
Rain and rising temperatures in the forecast for the next few days threaten to melt this week's snowfall in the East and cause disastrous floods.
In Pennsylvania, emergency management officials urged people to prepare for high water by selecting an evacuation route, clearing snow from flat roofs and stocking up on supplies.
"With all of this snow on the ground, the potential is there for serious flooding," said David M. Sanko, director of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
The forecast called for one to two inches of rain tomorrow night into Saturday, said Walt Nickelsberg, of the National Weather Service's office, which covers the lower Delaware River.
Nickelsberg said that if the area got two inches, flooding would be possible.

Meals differ for vegetarians in scholarship, dining halls
By Jessica Palomino
jalimenio@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Vegetarians living in large community living situations can face challenges in meatless eating.
When relying on someone else to do their cooking, vegetarians must learn to adapt to menus prepared for a large group of people.
Megan Pace, Chicago freshman, Lewis Hall resident and vegetarian, recently reduced her residence hall meal plan from 10 meals a week to five.
"I don't eat there very much because they don't have a big variety of what I eat," Pace said.
Nona Golledge, assistant director of dining services, said the department took vegetarians into consideration.
"The department is trying to improve vegetarian menus and
get feedback from vegetarians," she said. "Right now at E's we have Wednesday dinners where we test a new vegetarian recipe. If it goes over well it is added to the menu."
Department of Dining Services employees try to plan a vegetarian meal option at each station in the food court at Mrs. E's. In the GSP-Corbin and Oliver dining halls, the department offers at least two or three options because they serve a much smaller population of students.
Aaron Showalter/Kansan
All vegetarian items are identified on the menu, and even though the options are available it is difficult to please everyone.
When Pace does eat at Mrs. E's, she eats bread products or veggie burgers, but she said more could be done to accommodate vegetarians.
"There is other stuff they could have, like vegetarian meat
made with soy products," Pace said.
The scholarship hall group living situation means meals must be planned to accommodate vegetarians.
In Watkins Scholarship Hall, the 50 residents are divided into seven kitchen communities in which they eat and prepare meals as a group.
Three of the kitchens cook vegetarian meals, and residents choose which kitchen they eat with.
Katie Kollhoff , Beloit freshman and Watkins Hall resident, has been a vegetarian for five years and recently changed to a purely vegan diet. Vegans do not eat meat, fish or meat byproducts, such as dairy.

who will take his final lesson with a Federal Aviation Administration examiner next Tuesday. "A lot of people don't get attached to the air right away, so it's a good idea to try it out before you start paying for lessons and equipment."
Drew Steketee, Be A Pilot CEO, said the lessons also helped remove some major misconceptions about flying.
"The biggest being that you have to be rich to learn how to
fly," Steketee said. "If you are a nervous flyer, this takes the mystery out of it."
Removing the mystery begins on the first lesson. After meeting with the instructor for approximately half-an-hour, students get to taxi to the runway, pull back the controls on takeoff and practice turning at 2,500 feet. They also assist in the landing.
Short estimates he is more than halfway through the training required to get his private pilot certificate, but that doesn't mean those who know him are comfortable with him in the air.
"It doesn't really make me
nervous, but my buddies tell me it sort of makes them nervous," Short said. "I guess there is a risk every time you go up, but it's just a question of having confidence in yourself and what you're doing."
Short gained much of that confidence from the extensive training he's received in the air and on the ground.
The FAA requires student pilots have at least 40 hours of flight time to get certified, though many students take up to 60, said Janice Smith, Hetrick Air manager.

$58 or $105 per hour for a plane from Hetrick Air, and $30 per hour for each instructor, the cost to get a private pilot's license can range from $3,500 to $8,000. It's an expensive hobby but worth it.
to students like Short.
"The coolest thing about it is that you're able to go pretty much anywhere at will, without making arrangements with an airline," Short said. "And if you're going somewhere local or regional it's a lot easier."
General Aviation is funded by a group of more than 60 aviation-related businesses.
Registrant information is shared among those 60 companies and the more than 1,800 flight schools participating in the programs.

The evaluation contained negative criticism and followed two months of negative feedback on his teaching by his supervisor, said Lindaman.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said it would be inappropriate to comment on personnel issues.
But she said the University was allowed to pursue dismissal of a teaching assistant for performance or disciplinary reasons in accordance with Article 13 in the agreement between the teaching assistants and the University. Teaching assistants have full access to grievances, according to an Article of that same agreement. Bretz said Shulenburger would respond appropriately to the letter as soon as possible.
Al-Gibaly taught Arabic 210 last semester and would have taught Arabic 220 this semester. He had previously taught Arabic at the University from 1984 to 1988. Bretz said Al-Gibaly was not enrolled in any courses this semester.
Al-Gibaly said he had never received such negative criticism about his teaching. He had also taught at other universities, such as the University of Arkansas and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Al-Gibaly said there had been a lot of injustice.

Diplomats said the resolution would declare Iraq in "material breach" of its obligations to disarm, a requirement for any military action. The two allies will present the deadline separately and will demand a decision on the resolution in two or three weeks, said the U.S. and British diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity.
British Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock said the draft resolution would force the Security Council, which strongly supported continued inspections, to decide whether to authorize military action or to continue inspections if the Iraqi government begins to disarm.
UNITED NATIONS — Facing global opposition to a rush to war, the United States and Britain will introduce a new United Nations resolution in the coming days and set a deadline for Iraq to cooperate fully with weapons inspectors, Britain's U.N. ambassador said yesterday.
Britain,U.S.rework plan
The diplomats said the deadline would put all parties on notice that war was looming unless Iraq demonstrates it was
He predicted the debate over this "crunch decision" would go beyond March 1, when chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix is due to present his next written report to the council. That would put back the U.S. timetable for a possible war, ruling out February and its optimum weather conditions.
The Associated Press
The United States and Britain believe "a decision one way or the other has got to be made within weeks, not months," Greenstock said.
Diplomats acknowledged that a U.S.-British resolution still lacked the necessary nine votes it needed to be adopted by the Security Council, and there was still no guarantee that France, Russia, or China, which favor continued inspections, would refrain from vetting a new resolution.
Several other council members, including Mexico and Chile, reiterated privately that they would abstain in a vote on the resolution unless the United States and Britain found a way to ease tensions with France; Russia and China.
actively cooperating with inspections.
U. S. and British officials said the final language in the resolution has not yet been decided on by President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair that both sides were close to agreement.
"A resolution within the next few working days is highly likely."Greenstock said.
U.S. spies on nuclear center
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea—In the past month, U.S. spy satellites have detected smoke rising from the once shuttered buildings clustered around a loop of North Korea's Kuryong River. Trucks arrived and departed, and workers bustled.
The Yongbyon Nuclear Center is one of the most heavily guarded areas in one of the world's most secretive nations, and it is the focal point of rising tensions over North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
American analysts aren't sure what is going on there, and some South Korean experts think the North is staging phony activity as a bargaining chip in its effort to get Washington to sign a nonaggression treaty. But the increased movement at the site 50 miles
north of the capital, Pyongyang, has increased anxiety over the North's intentions.
Neighboring nations worry the North may be resuming its program to produce nuclear weapons, fearing that could bring an arms race in the region or even war. The face-off also has caused some strain between Washington and South Korea's government over how to deal with the crisis.
Experts say the complex is home to 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods that could be processed within a few months into enough weapons-grade plutonium for several atomic bombs.
"The moment they remove those rods for reprocessing will be the moment they cross the danger line," said Paek Haksoon, a North Korea expert at Seoul's independent Sejong
Institute.
Earlier this month, U.S. officials said satellite images caught covered trucks apparently taking on cargo around the fuel rod storage facility, but they were divided over whether the North Koreans were really removing rods or just bluffing
"They are just putting up a Potemkin village," said Kim Dong-kyu, an analyst at Seoul's Korea University, referring to a showy facade intended to divert attention. "They know they are watched by satellites."

stricty in Learned Hall, but the sign would still be able to communicate campus information. He also said the sign could benefit Student Senate because it would not have to spend as much money advertising in The University Daily Kansan.
Malone drafted the bill to fund the sign. She said the sign needed to be catchy enough without turning Wescoe Beach into Madison Square Garden.
"It's not going to be a ticker tape of stock quotes and basketball games," Johnson said. "This would be an effective form of advertising."

Faulconer also had problems with the aesthetics of the red and amber lights.
A bill failed to reapportion graduate and law student Senate seats.
James Owen is the Graduate Affairs Committee chairman and executive director of the Graduate and Professional Association. As it is now, graduate students have 10 seats representing about 5,000 people and the law students have two seats representing 500 people.
Owen drafted the bill so two seats would be guaranteed to graduate students and two to law students. The other eight seats would be free to both graduate and law students.
"I see this as empowering one group who have shared interests and the same concerns and so making that voice all the more stronger," he said.

Catholic WWll opinions revealed
The Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — The first documents from newly opened Vatican archives dealing with the Roman Catholic Church's relations with Germany on the eve of World War II are beginning to emerge, including a letter seeking papal intervention against the Nazis written by a famed Jewish convert to Catholicism, Edith Stein.
The letter's existence has been known for decades — Stein wrote about it before she was killed in a Nazi death camp in 1942 — but its text was published for the first time yesterday in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
At the same time, other documents from the era are coming to light in the Italian media, including one some historians say is proof that Vatican did intervene on behalf of the Jews; a document dated April 4, 1933, that shows
the Vatican ordered its diplomats in Germany to warn Hitler's government not to persecute Jews.
The documents have become available following the Vatican's decision to open its prewar archives to scholars years ahead of schedule in a bid to deflect criticism that it was silent in the face of the Holocaust.
The archives available to researchers as of last weekend cover the Vatican's relations with Germany from 1922 to 1939.
Germany. During those years, Pius XII — pope from 1959-58 and accused by some historians of failing to do enough to protect Jews — was a Vatican diplomat in Germany and later its secretary of state.
At the same time, Stein was a teacher in Muenster, Germany, who joined the Carmelite order of nuns after converting to Catholicism. She had been born into an Orthodox Jewish German family in 1891.
On April 12, 1933, she wrote a letter to the then-pope, Pius XI, asking that he speak out against the "war of exterminating Jewish blood" by the Nazis.
"I know that my letter was sealed when it was delivered to the Holy Father some time later; I even received his blessing for myself and my loved ones. But nothing came of it. ... My fears concerning the future of German Catholics have been gradually realized in the course of the years that followed," she wrote.
She said Catholics "feared the worst for the worldwide image of the Church itself, if the silence continues further. We are also convinced that this silence cannot in the long run obtain peace from the current German government."
Historians also have wondered what became of the letter, because they say it may have been the first of many appeals to the
Vatican for intervention on behalf of the Jews.
In 2000, a commission of Jewish and Catholic scholars appointed by the Vatican and a Jewish group listed Stein's letter as one of the documents they hoped to see to reach conclusions about the Vatican's wartime record.
Specifically, they asked how the letter was received in Rome and whether they could see a copy of it. The panel disbanded in 2001, saying they couldn't proceed further without more access to the Vatican's wartime archives.
Their preliminary report said Stein's 1953 letter had asked Pius XI to issue an encyclical condemning anti-Semitism — but that request is not specifically made in the letter reproduced by Corriere. The newspaper said Stein merely planned to ask for an encyclical if she ever obtained an audience with the pope.
Crash kills guards in Iran's mountains
The Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — A plane carrying 270 passengers, all members of the elite Revolutionary Guards, crashed in the mountains of southeastern Iran yesterday and all on board were killed, state-run media reported.
The plane was en route from Zahedan, on the Pakistan border, to Kerman, about 500 miles southeast of Tehran, state-run Tehran television reported. It crashed in a mountainous area about 50 miles from its destination, near the city of Shahdad.
The television report said the plane lost contact with the control tower at 5:30 p.m. yesterday.
The official Islamic Republic News Agency reported that all
on board the plane were killed.
on board the plane were killed. State television and radio did not offer reasons for the crash and did not address the possibility of terrorism. There was heavy snowfall in many parts of Iran yesterday, including in Zahedan, which didn't seen snow in three years.
Tehran television quoted an anonymous official as saying the forces had visited the impoverished Sistan-Baluchestan province, of which Zahedan is the capital, for an "important mission." The Revolutionary Guards are seen as the defenders of Iran's Islamic regime.
The government issued a statement offering condolences to the families of the victims, television and radio reports said.
Japanese skiers brave European mountain
The Associated Press
CHAMONIX, France — Yuichiro Miura, 70, the first person to ski down Mount Everest, took his pursuit of adventure to the French Alps yesterday, tackling an arduous, avalanche-prone course with his son and 99-year-old father.
Together, the three generations braved howling winds and freezing temperatures to traverse the famed Mont Blanc's Valle Blanche, or White Valley.
Keizo Miura, who turned 99 on Saturday, wanted to ski down the glacier to mark his birthday. He required supplementary oxygen after being dropped off at the 12,700-feet high Aiguille du Midi, one of
the highest points in Europe that can be reached by cable car.
"What more could I imagine than the Valle Blanche!" Keizo said before setting off on the off-piste course that is notorious for avalanches.
A family associate in Tokyo said Keizo skied down the glacier all by himself except for one spot with a dangerous crevice where his 37-year-old grandson, Yuta Mitaura, piggy-backed him through.
When they arrived at the camp base, Keizo's 3-year-old greatgranddaughter Rio and other family members greeted him.
The Miura family, ski legends in their homeland of Japan, were followed down the mountain by dozens of other family members, friends and onlookers.
Sept.11 conspirator receives 15 years
The Associated Press
HAMBURG, Germany — A Moroccan was convicted yesterday for helping a key Al Qaeda cell behind the Sept. 11 terror plot and was handed the maximum sentence under German law—15 years—the first verdict anywhere in the world in the attacks on the United States.
Mounir el Motassadeq, 28 showed no emotion but occasionally shook his head or checked his watch as he listened to the verdict finding him guilty of more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder.
El Motassadeq helped pay tuition and rent for members of the Hamburg-based Al Qaeda cell — allowing them to live as students as they plotted the attacks, prosecutors said.
Judge Albrecht Mentz said el Motassadeq had lied when he testified he was unaware of the
plot despite being close friends with suicide hijackers Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi and other cell members.
The defendant was "a cog that kept the machinery going." Mentz said. He "belonged to this group since its inception. He knew and approved the key elements of the planned attacks."
ments of the planned attack. Sept. 11 victims' relatives who participated in the trial as coplaintiffs — some offering emotional testimony that Mentz said had prompted him to impose the maximum sentence — praised the verdict.
Joan Molinaro of New York said she was "thrilled."
"It's the first small victory we've had since 9/11," said Molinaro, whose firefighter son Carl was killed at the World Trade Center. "I kind of feel like, 'OK, Carl, we got one.'" she said. "I think my son is smiling."
Another New Yorker, Kathy
Ashton — whose son Tommy was killed at the World Trade Center — called the 15-year sentence "a drop in the bucket, especially for a young man, but at least it's something."
Interior Minister Otto Schily hailed the verdict as a "success in the fight" against terror. "It is a warning to all those who think they can toy with the idea of aligning themselves with terrorist networks."
While suspects in the plot detained in the United States face possible death sentences if convicted, el Motassadeq's sentence translates into a minimum of 10 years with 15 months off for time served. Even defendants in Germany sentenced to life in prison generally serve at most 15 years.
El Motassadeq, a slight, bearded man who admitted receiving Al Qaeda training in Afghanistan, denied the charges
during his 31/2-month trial. The defense, which had argued the evidence was circumstantial, said it would appeal.
In addition to 3,066 counts of accessory to murder, el Motassadeq was convicted of five counts of being an accessory to attempted murder and an accessory to bodily injury — charges introduced so five wounded survivors of the attacks, including a Navy officer at the Pentagon, could join the trial as co-plaintiffs.
Mentz said it was hard to give a man with two small children the maximum sentence, but that he had to consider the enormity of the crime.
Schily said the penalty was severe, a judgment shared by a lawyer representing many of the more than 20 American family members and survivors who joined the prosecution in efforts to secure the maximum sentence.

HAMBURG, Germany — A Moroccan was convicted yesterday for helping a key Al Qaeda cell behind the Sept. 11 terror plot and was handed the maximum sentence under German law - 15 years—the first verdict anywhere in the world in the attacks on the United States.
Mounir el Motassadeq, 28,
showed no emotion but occasionally shook his head or checked his watch as he listened to the verdict finding him guilty of more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder.
El Motassadeq helped pay tuition and rent for members of the Hamburg-based Al Qaeda cell — allowing them to live as students as they plotted the attacks, prosecutors said.
Judge Albrecht Mentz said el Motassadeq had lied when he testified he was unaware of the
plot despite being close friends with suicide hijackers Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi and other cell members.
The defendant was "a cog that kept the machinery going," Mentz said. He "belonged to this group since its inception. He knew and approved the key elements of the planned attacks."
Sept. 11 victims' relatives who participated in the trial as coplaintifs — some offering emotional testimony that Mentz said had prompted him to impose the maximum sentence — praised the verdict.
Joan Molinaro of New York said she was "thrilled."
"It's the first small victory we've had since 9/11," said Molinaro, whose firefighter son Carl was killed at the World Trade Center. "I kind of feel like, 'OK, Carl, we got one,'" she said. "I think my son is smiling."
Another New Yorker, Kathy
Ashton, whose son Tommy was killed at the World Trade Center
— called the 15-year sentence "a drop in the bucket, especially for a young man, but at least it's something."
Interior Minister Otto Schily hailed the verdict as a "success in the fight" against terror. "It is a warning to all those who think they can toy with the idea of aligning themselves with terrorist networks."
While suspects in the plot detained in the United States face possible death sentences if convicted, el Motassadeq's sentence translates into a minimum of 10 years with 15 months off for time served. Even defendants in Germany sentenced to life in prison generally serve at most 15 years.
El Motassadeq, a slight, bearded man who admitted receiving Al Qaeda training in Afghanistan, denied the charges
during his 31/2-month trial. The defense, which had argued the evidence was circumstantial, said it would appeal.
In addition to 3,066 counts of accessory to murder, el Motasadeq was convicted of five counts of being an accessory to attempted murder and an accessory to bodily injury — charges introduced so five wounded survivors of the attacks, including a Navy officer at the Pentagon, could join the trial as co-plaintiffs.
Mentz said it was hard to give a man with two small children the maximum sentence, but that he had to consider the enormity of the crime.
Schily said the penalty was severe, a judgment shared by a lawyer representing many of the more than 20 American family members and survivors who joined the prosecution in efforts to secure the maximum sentence.

Tomorrow deadline for tourney tickets
By Chris Wintering
cwintering@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Men's basketball fans beware, the deadline to apply for tickets for the NCAA Tournament or Big 12 Conference Tournament is 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Rodney Jones, Kansas director of ticket operations, said the ticket office began calling students Wednesday to confirm their tournament seats.
Jones also said that in the past, students had to sit in the upper level of the arena, but this year students could sit in the lower level. Upper-level tickets cost $210 and lower-level tickets are $300 for the Big 12 Tournament.
"We wanted to get as many students as possible in the lower level of the arena," Jones said. "We are not forcing anyone to buy the more expensive tickets, it is just an option."
Jones said that option was available because of the move of the Big 12 Tournament from Kansas City, Mo., to Dallas this year. The American Airlines Center in Dallas allows for more accessible seating than Kemper Arena, Jones said.
Mike Sheridan, Cincinnati senior, was one of many students who received a call yesterday that confirmed his tickets for the Big 12.
"The ticket office called and said I had tickets, and asked if I wanted to move downstairs," Sheridan said. "I did it because I figure $300 for 11 games is a pretty good deal."
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
"I am 99 percent positive we will be able to accommodate all students who apply for tickets, whether it be the Big 12 Tournament or NCAA Tournament, including the Final Four," Jones said.
Jones said that, as in the past, students could only purchase one ticket per person for any tournament game, but getting tickets should not be a problem.
Tickets for the first-round and second-round games range from $105 to $165 depending on location. The NCAA Regional games will cost between $90 to $120, and the Final Four tickets will be $120 to $160.

'Sweetrevenge'
'Hawks find inspiration gain victory

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas was waiting for this.
After losing, 60-59, to Colorado in Boulder, Colo., on Jan. 4, the No. 6 Jayhawks have been biding their time, anticipating last night's rematch Kansas (20-5 overall, 10-1 Big 12 Conference) was not disappointed, as they handed the Buffaloes (15-9, 5-6) their 20th consecutive defeat in Allen Fieldhouse, 94-87.
"It was good, sweet revenge," junior forward Jeff Graves said after the game. "We knew we shouldn't have lost to them last time."
Last time the Jayhawks made 33 percent of their shots and were out rebounded by five. Last time, Colorado senior forward Stephane Pelle scored 27 points and drained the game-winning shot.
That was last time.
In last night's game in Lawrence, the Jayhawks shot 48 percent from the field, out rebounded the Buffaloes 46-38, and lead by as many as 23 points.
And Pelle? He was harmless, scoring just 2 points in 29 minutes.
Simien, playing in his second game back from a 11-game absence, had more points, 21, than minutes played. 20. The sophomore forward completed the double-double with 13 rebounds.
This time it was the Nick Collison and Wayne Simien show. Collision, a senior forward, scored a team-high 24 points while grabbing 14 rebounds.
Simien, who was in so much pain he disappeared into the locker room for about 10 minutes in the second half, inspired the rest of the team with his performance, Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
Sophomore guard Keith Langford is fouled by junior guard Blair Wilson in the first half. Wilson committed three personal fouls in Wednesday's game, and scored 21 points for the Buffalos.
Sophomore guard 0Aaron Miles felt so good he unleashed a move more commonly seen by sophomore guard Keith Langford — a vicious two-handed dunk.
"It wasn't nothing major, nothing big," Miles said. "Just something I used to do in high school."
Not to be outdone, senior guard Kirk Hinrich threw down a double-fisted two-pointer a minute later.
Led by junior guard Michel Morandais' game-high 28 points, Colorado cut Kansas' advantage to 5 points with 10 seconds to play. But that was as close as the Buffalooes would come.
But it wasn't all fun and dunks for the Jayhawks.
Miles hit two free throws, pushing the lead to its final margin and Colorado out of striking distance.
Graves told reporters that his close friend was killed when he accidentally shot himself in the head earlier this week. He said he had been bothered by the tragedy this week and was still waiting for all the details. The accident was part of a difficult week for Graves. He was benched at the start of Sunday's game against Iowa State and forced to run extra in practice for arriving late. He was again forced to run when he showed up late for a 9:30 a.m. class.

Women break streak
Jayhawks defeat Cornhuskers for second time

LINCOLN, Neb. — If every game on the schedule was against Nebraska, the Kansas women's basketball team would be one of the nation's most feared squads. Even though that situation is impossible, the Jayhawks can take solace in a season sweep of the Cornhuskers.
Kansas (10-13 overall, 3-9 Big 12) defeated Nebraska 62-58 last night in Lincoln in front of 2,334 fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak that began after Kansas' previous victory against Nebraska on Jan. 29.

For Washington, the victory was the 550th of her career. Even though the victory brought another achievement to Washington's 30-year career at Kansas, she was humble and didn't even pay attention to the approaching milestone.

"It was a game where it really showed us that they have definitely matured." Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "I'm so thrilled for them. They did a nice job."
"You know I'm happy about getting it, but honest to goodness, I didn't even realize I was there." Washington said. "I told this team what I think about the 550 then what I think about them which was great."
Kansas' offensive production was well distributed, with four players scoring in double figures. Sophomore guard Blair Waltz led the way with 14 points,

Waltz said a solid night from the floor would give her more confidence in her health and its effect on her play for the season's stretch run.
"It does a lot to my confidence," Waltz said. "I've been struggling just to complete a full practice lately because I've been sore. It's gotten so much better. And not only confidence in myself, but confidence in my team has totally escalated."
Hallman answered the call from her coach after a tough game against Missouri with 12 points, leadership and good defense.
"Coach and them got on me pretty good, but it was all for a good cause," Hallman said. "I just came out and was a lot more focused tonight."
Kansas will head back home for its only meeting of the year with Baylor (16-7, 6-5) Saturday at 2:05 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. Washington said Baylor was a hard-nosed team much like Nebraska.
"It's tough to win on the road period, so for them to win this game was great." Washington said. "We're going to face another team that's going to be relentless on the boards."

Baseball coach's spirit leads team to victories
Wow, it's cold out here, Ritch Price thought on a blustery day in January. Price, Kansas' first-year baseball coach, thought he knew what January weather felt like.
In California, it was in the 70s and sunny. In Oregon, it was a little damp, but still tolerable. In Texas, it was downright hot.
Price, in a way, wished he could go back to those places — sites of his old jobs — for just a moment to warm up, but then he remembered where he was.
"Come on, guys. I'm from California." Price beckoned on that 25-degree day."If I can be out here you guys better be with me."
He was just outside the Kansas dugout at Hoglund Ballpark, staring his shivering players in the eyes. His players were fidgeting, almost praying to hear the words, "Go home. Practice is off." But they wouldn't be going, even if Price couldn't feel his fingers or toes.
Maybe, just maybe, Price has stumbled across a sleeping giant that required only a boost of confidence, a sense of pride that has been absent in the Kansas baseball program for years.
His coaching career began during his collegiate summers, when he coached his former American Legion team.
Price's Jayhawks may not have accomplished much that day, but the message was clear. Their coach meant business. And so far, that determination has led to unfathomable results. Kansas swept College World Series regular Louisiana State, unexpectedly tossing it into the national ratings at No. 21.
"I remember when I first met with the team, that they were just real down on themselves," Price said. "They had no confidence. After having so many losing seasons in a row, they just expected to lose. We wanted to change that around."
Price has done that and then some. Athletics Director Al Bohl hit a grand slam in luring Price to Kansas from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. In Price, he got the ultimate baseball man, mixed with the ultimate teacher.
Baseball is Price's love. His eyes light up and his voice perks throughout any baseball-related conversation.
Then, Price paid his dues. He coached at the high school level in Oregon and Texas. He turned around two junior college programs in California, and, at his most recent job, transformed Cal Poly from a Division II nobody to a Division I NCAA-Tournament caliber program.
All along, Price soaked in as much baseball knowledge as possible. The result is a baseball genius. Price has a plan for every part of baseball.
Hitting approaches. Recruiting. Mental improvement. Scholarship allotment.
Game strategy — you name it.
So when this baseball guru speaks confidently that this weekend was no fluke, one is almost forced to believe him. He boasts of his team's speed, clutch hitting and gutsy pitching.
And he marvels at the relationship that has formed with his team, as do his players.
"He's such a player's coach," senior pitcher and outfielder Kevin Wheeler said. "Everything that he does is to try to make us better."
That's all the Kansas baseball players ever required. They needed a coach that believed in them at all costs and put their interests first.
By that account, Price already has earned his team's respect, even if that means practicing in weather Price still can't believe exists.

Bohl's goals better than his attitude
I've never had to deal with Al Bohl. I tried to set up an interview with him once, but his secretary deflected me to someone else in the Athletics Department. Based on what everyone says about Bohl, maybe I should send her a thank-you note.
Last week's rumors about Bohl eventually being ousted as Kansas Athletics Director have finally died down. But the damage was done, as the media documented a widespread perception of Bohl as an aggressive, artificial pitchman.
Men's basketball coach Roy Williams' subsequent denial that he had any problem with Bohl was comical. The best Williams could say was that he and Bohl had "a very professional relationship," a phrase that might as well be used to describe relations between Iraqi officials and U.N. weapons inspectors.
I dislike Bohl but not for any one action or personality trait. I didn't have a problem with Bohl firing football coach Terry Allen with three games left in the 2001 season or with him firing baseball coach Bobby Randall after last year. Both coaches underachieved badly, and Allen got paid nicely to sit on his couch for three weeks.
My problem with Bohl is — well, everything put together.
The win-at-all-costs attitude, which leaves me with no doubt that Bohl could have been involved in alleged academic fraud while he was athletic director at Fresno State. The superficial blabbering that comes out of his mouth when you see him interviewed, punctuated with a plastic smile. The picture I get in my head of Bohl taking far too much pleasure in telling Allen, Randall and other future job casualties to hit the door.
If there's one word I equate with Bohl, it's "slimy." Just listening to him makes me want to bathe in a tub full of Pine-Sol. He wants Kansas to be a powerhouse in every sport, which is a nice, if unrealistic, goal. But he doesn't care how he achieves that success or whose toes he has to step on to do it.
Bohl can't be trusted by his own employees, the NCAA or Chancellor Robert Hemenway. Are there limits to what he will do to get ahead? Hemenway shouldn't wait to find out.

Tyson shows tattoo, not strength
TUNICA, Miss. (AP) — Mike Tyson was more eager to show off the new tattoo on his face than to show off what kind of shape he's in.
The Associated Press
The tattoo looked real enough, but Clifford Etienne's camp wasn't so sure about anything else.
The circuslike atmosphere surrounding Tyson moved yesterday to the string of casinos along the Mississippi River, where the former heavyweight champion worked out behind closed doors before emerging to give the world a peek at his new tattoo.
Tyson had a bewildered look on his face as he headed quickly toward an elevator and the sanctuary of his hotel room.
His trainer said later that Tyson was discouraged about his return to training after a week out of the gym, and still feeling the effects of flu-like symptoms.
"His mind seemed to be in the right
A day after Tyson woke up and decided to fight, it was Etienne's turn to wake up and change his mind about getting into the ring. Etienne decided nearly $1 million was too much to pass up.
place," trainer Freddie Roach said. "I'm just worried about his body."
"I'm a fighter, not a coward." Etienne said. "I thought about it all night. I didn't work all these months to get in shape without going out and being able to do my thing."
Etienne's manager, Les Bonano, said he doubted Tyson was ever sick and said he believed the former heavyweight champion had been working out all along. The claims of illness, he said, may have been just a ploy to make Etienne let his guard down.
"I don't ever believe Tyson was sick," Bonano said. "I don't believe the training rumors."
Tyson didn't arrive in Tunica until shortly before 3 a.m., after one of two
jets chartered by his manager arrived from Las Vegas. Newspapers and television showed a man believed to be Tyson hiding his face with towels, but it wasn't him.
Tyson actually flew in later, part of a plan to keep him from the expected media barrage.
"He had the worse plane," trainer Freddie Roach said. "He told me his plane didn't even have any food on it."
Tyson might do well without eating much, with Roach expecting him to come in heavier than he wants for the fight because he hadn't trained in a week before Wednesday's session. After getting his tattoo Feb. 11, Tyson blew off training sessions for the next three days and then said he had the flu.
Heavyweights usually stop sparring a week before a fight and then taper off, but Tyson sparred four rounds in a ballroom at the Grand hotel-casino and then went six rounds on the speed bag.
Ferguson could earn starting spot
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Ian Ferguson isn't a right-handed fireballer with a 95 mph fastball. He's not a high draft pick boasting of a seven-figure signing bonus. And he's never been labeled a can't miss prospect.
But Ferguson has won consistently in the minor leagues, and that's made him a candidate for a spot in the Kansas City Royals' starting rotation.
Ferguson went 18-3 with a 2.48 ERA with Double-A Wichita and Single-A Wilmington last season, leading the Royals organization by striking out 141 while walking only 37.
"I was fortunate enough to play with two quality teams." Ferguson said. "I'm
not much of a strikeout pitcher, so I rely on my defense and my defense played well the entire season."
The Royals drafted Ferguson in the 21st round in 2000 out of Regis University in Denver. Since, he's compiled a 36-14 record with a 3.33 ERA in 71 career minor-league starts with a fastball that touches 90 mph.
"I can't blow anybody away with my stuff," Ferguson said. "I try to induce contact. If I can get a ground out with one or two pitches, that's fine with me.
"I try to throw a lot of strikes, just give them quality innings. I wouldn't say I'm a ground-ball pitcher or a fly-ball pitcher. I don't know what I an."
Despite the lack of a self-imposed description, Ferguson has impressed the
Royals' front office. Brian Murphy, an assistant to Royals general manager Allard Baird, said he liked what he saw as Ferguson pitched in the Texas League playoffs last September.
"He's very focused, very hard working, a tough-minded kid." Murphy said. "He just blossomed last year, consistent start after start. It wouldn't surprise me if he made the team. He could pitch his way right into the mix."
He'll have the chance—Royals'manager Tony Pena has said competition for the rotation is "wide open."
"Ferguson spots the ball real well." Pena said. "I've been very impressed with him. He's not overpowering, but he can throw the ball inside and outside. He has a good idea on how to pitch."

Drew Gooden says goodbye to Grizzlies, hello to Magic
The Memphis Grizzlies traded former Kansas standout Drew Gooden yesterday, along with Gordon Grieck, to the Orlando Magic. The Grizzlies picked up Mike Miller and Ryan Humphery in the trade.
Gooden, a small forward, was averaging 12.1 points and 5.8 rebounds a game for Memphis.
Gooden left the University after his junior year and was selected fourth overall in last year's draft. At Kansas he averaged 15.6 points and 9.2 rebounds a game.
points a game and shooting 27 percent from the field. Gooden will likely replace Miller as the second offensive option behind Magic's Tracy McGrady. Giricek averaged 11.2 points for Memphis.
In return for Gooden, Memphis will get Miller, Orlando's second-leading scorer, and Humphery, a rookie from Notre Dame who was averaging 1.8

Swim team tied for third at Big 12 Championship
The Kansas swimming and diving team tallied 60 points yesterday in the first day of the Big 12 Championships in Austin, Texas. The Jayhawks are tied for third place, 20 points behind the first place defending conference champion. Texas.
"I'm extremely excited and these results are just a sign of things to come," swimming coach Clark Campbell said.
The Jayhawks finished in fourth place in both the 800-yard freestyle and 200-yard medley relays. The host school Texas won both relays.
THURSDAY,FEBRUARY 20,2003
The freestyle relay team of sophomores Amy Gruber, Jackie Kruger, Aly Colver and freshman Gina Gnatzig clocked in at 7:24.81. Gruber's time of 1:43.56 in the relay qualified her for the NCAA championships in March.
The medley relay team, composed of juniors Whitney Sondall and Kristen Johnson and sophomores Amy Gruber and Jackie Krueger, had a time of 1:43.56. The team's time broke the school record of 1:43.66, set in 1993.
Campbell said the 1993 medley relay team consisted of four of the fastest swimmers in Kansas history and breaking the record made the feat more outstanding.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 20).
This year, you may want to tap into that money you've saved for a rainy day. Be ready if the right deal comes along on a house or household items. Get only the things that will get better and more valuable over time.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 10.
kansan.com
They say opposites attract. What do you think? A person who may be your opposite now seems quite compelling.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today is a 6.
Is your job getting easier, or are you getting smarter? Some of both. Continue to make changes for the better.
Your career will become more important soon,but you can spend tonight on romance.Get well rested in case you have extra work tomorrow.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6.
Home is your favorite place to be, so make it even nicer. A new color and a little more work ought to do the trick.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is an 10.
Your contribution to the conversation is keeping the others on track. Present options that they haven't thought about before.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 6.
Your work should be getting easier as the money starts coming in. It had to happen eventually, and it isn't a moment too soon.
You're naturally talented with words, but why not also play with color? Let your imagination run wild.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 7.
Wrap a household project once and for all. At this point,
perfection isn't as important as completion.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 6.
You may need decorating tips, and you know just the person to call. You might be able to give the job away, which isn't a bad idea.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 6.
Go ahead and ask for the money. Make an unreasonable request. You might not get it all, but then again, you might.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is a 9.
Remember that window of opportunity that you've been hearing about? Look around. It could be open now.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Today is a 6.
Financing you need for a household project is possible, so go ahead. Of course,you should look for a bargain but also get high quality.

Kansas forward keeps scoring through pain, brace of shoulder
By John Domoney

Kansan sportswriter
One word might determine the fate of the Kansas men's basketball team's season. One word is definitely going to be attached to anything spoken or written about Wayne Simien's right shoulder.
The word is tweak, and Simien is already sick of the sound of it to his ear.
"I hate that word tweak," Simien said after Kansas beat Colorado 94-87 last night in Allen Fieldhouse. "I don't have a better word for it, but I'm tired of saying it."
Simien played in his second game back since sitting out 11 games because of his shoulder injury. The sophomore forward stole the show as he scored 21 points on 10-of-13 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds.
Nick Collison, senior forward, pulls down a rebound on defense. Ten out of Collison's 14 total rebounds during the Jayhawks victory over Colorado were on defense
Simien displayed his entire arsenal of moves, which included the baby hook shoot, the 17-foot jump shot and the crowd-pleasing alley-oop.
"Every teammate you have sees what Wayne Simien did," Kansas coach Roy. Williams said. "If that doesn't fire you up, there's something wrong with you."
According to Williams, Simien's status for last night's game was in question after Simien had shoulder pain during Monday's practice.
"Monday when I went to my call-in show I thought he was finished." Williams said. "But he went out and shot free throws
after practice. On Tuesday in practice, he did everything."
Simien was the do everything man for the Jayhawks during his 20 minutes of play.
Even with a sore shoulder, Simien played a role in holding Colorado forward Stephane Pelle to two points on 1-of-7 shooting. Pelle took advantage of Simien's absence in Colorado's earlier victory over Kansas, scoring 27 points including the game-winning shot.
Buffalo guard Blair Wilson said Simien's play made Kansas a tougher team to beat than the Jayhawk squad Colorado defeated in January.
"Graves is good, but he's no Wayne Simien." Wilson said.
Simien might have appeared to not miss a beat, but the crowd held its collective breath as he went to the bench holding his right shoulder with 13:22 left in the second half.
After leaving for the locker room with trainer Mark Cairns to ice his shoulder, Simien returned to the bench. At the 8:26 mark in the second half, Simien returned to the floor to the roars of the crowd.
Simien's night was over when he went to the bench favoring his sore shoulder 4 points and three minutes later.
"It's just something that will happen until I get it fixed," Simien said. "I've accepted that, coach has accepted that."
Hinrich suffered a deep ankle sprain in the first round victory over Holy Cross and returned to play in Kansas' remaining four games in the tournament.
Williams compared Simien's shoulder pain to that experienced by guard Kirk Hinrich during last year's NCAA Tournament.
After last night's game, Hinrich told reporters that playing with such a painful injury could go further than just the physical element.
"I think it's a big deal because not only does it hurt, it's a big
deal mentally." Hinrich said.
Williams canceled practice today to give the Jayhawks a rest before they travel to Norman, Okla, for Sunday's Big-12 Conference showdown.
Simien said he would be ready to play in what figured to be a physical game with the Sooners.

Riley comes back to coach Oregon St.
After four NFL years Mike Riley returned to coaching college
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — Four years after leaving Oregon State for the NFL, Mike Riley has rejoined the Beavers as head coach, a university spokesman said yesterday night.
Riley, who spent last year as an assistant with the New Orleans Saints, will be introduced at press conference Thursday, said Steve Fenk, an assistant sports information director.
Riley, head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 1999-2001, replaces Dennis Erickson, who left Oregon State to become head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
The school said Riley contacted athletic director Bob De Carolis the day it was announced that Erickson was leaving.
Riley was among several candidates De Carolis interviewed, including Boise State coach Dan Hawkins and Oregon State assistants Tim Lappano, Dan Cozetto and Gregg Smith.
The 49-year-old Riley grew up in Corvallis and attended Corvallis High School. He was 8-14 during his tenure with the Beavers, although his recruits found success under Erickson.
Riley left for San Diego. He was fired after going 14-34 in three seasons with the Chargers, and signed with the Saints as assistant head coach in charge of defensive backs.
Riley also interviewed for earlier vacancies at Alabama and UCLA. He was offered the Alabama job, but turned it down to wait for UCLA's decision.
The Bruins ultimately went with Denver Broncos receivers coach Karl Dorrell.
The Beavers finished 7-5 in 1999 under Erickson, after an NCAA-record 28 straight losing seasons. The following season, Oregon State went a school-best 11-1 and beat Notre Dame 41-9 in the Fiesta Bowl.
Replacing Erickson — 31-17 during his four years with the Beavers — was the first major challenge faced by De Carolis, promoted to athletic director last August.
De Carolis replaced Mitch Barnhart, who hired Erickson in 1999 but left last summer to become Kentucky's athletic director.
Before his first stint at Oregon State, Riley served as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator-quarterbacks coach at the University of Southern California from 1993-96.
Riley served as the head coach of the San Antonio Riders of the World League of American Football from 1991-92. Riley led the Riders to a record of 11-9 over two seasons, including 4-6 in 1991 and 7-3 in 1992.
Riley spent the 1987-90 seasons as the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League, where he was 40-32 and two Grey Cup championships. He the CFL Coach of the Year following the 1988 and 1990 seasons after each of his team's Grey Cup victories.

Band creates 'atmospheric' music

Members of Theta: Mike Quillin, vocals; Torin Anderson, keyboard; Eric Graves, guitar; Adam Mitchell, drums; Cory White, guitar; and Esteban Caracciolo, bass. The band recorded a six song EP, Tone Poems for Sad Times and is searching for a record label to fund future ventures.

For some musicians, playing in one band is not enough. For the members of local band Theta, playing in two or three bands is ideal.
Featuring members from The Esoteric, Coalesce, The Storied Northwest, Pave Arrow, Pathos and The Now, scheduling for Theta becomes hectic.
"It's like a circus," said Adam Mitchell, drummer and Lawrence resident. "We have to keep up with six people in five other bands."
Despite many of the musicians involvement with metal projects, Theta's atmospheric space rock sound draws comparisons to bands like Tool and Hum—a stark contrast to the raw power of The Esoteric and Coalesce.
"It's definitely a lot more melodic," said Eric Graves, guitarist and Lawrence resident.
Mike Quillin's vocals make Theta sound unique, Graves said.
"We've been described as a Rock-Enya," Graves said.
Playing in bands with different styles gives the members of Theta a chance to flex their musical muscle.
"It's nice to play in different bands," said Mitchell. "I'm a metal guy, but it's nice to branch out."
Along with Quillin's room-filling vocals, Theta uses a slew of effects pedals and slides in and out of a wide range of time signatures while trying to keep the music listener-friendly.
"We try to do interesting things with familiar sounds," Graves said. "We're trying to make an odd time signature not sound odd. It's accessible yet still in six."
Despite having all of the members involved in other music projects, Theta continues to proceed with creating music.
"It's tough with all of the other bands we're in because there's always that one member that holds you back, because you got a real job or a kid," Graves said. "This band is based on that we all don't have a real job and we're here to record and get music out as much as possible."
Theta recently recorded a six song EP, Tone Poems for Sad Times. Recorded by Ed Rose of Red House Studios (now named the Black Lodge), Theta spared no expense in recording, spending $6,000 of its own money.
"I want people to appreciate the production of the sound," Graves said. "That's why we spent so much money. We want something for people to pick apart the production
and try to find something that sounds bad."
With all of the production work in one album, some of the songs on Tone Poems do not translate well into a live show.
"There's one song, '6/8,' that sounds really good on the record but not live," Esteban Caracico, bassist and Lawrence resident, said. "It's way too mellow. We're going for the big rock show."
Theta's flavor of heavy atmospheric space rock has a different effect in every venue they play in.
"The funny thing about us is the bigger the venue, the better the sound," said Mitchell. "It's because we're so atmospheric. We sound a lot better at the Bottleneck than a smaller venue."
"It's totally fun playing house shows," said Caracciolo. "It feels a lot better than playing on a stage but it's such a weird way with the music. We played the Replay and it was a train wreck."
Even though the sound is better in a large venue, Theta still enjoys the smaller shows.
The band is shopping for a record label to pay for their next recording.
"Our most immediate goal is to go on tour and have a label pay for our next recording," said Graves. "We don't want to spend another $6,000 again."

Filmqives twist to Civil War, slavery
By Lindsey Ramsey
lramsey@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
One KU assistant professor has gone to great lengths to show the world an alternate view of the Civil War.
Kevin Willmott, assistant professor in film, has been working relentlessly for three years on his film, Confederate States of America or CSA, which premieres tomorrow at Liberty Hall.A story of a Confederate victory at Gettysburg and how slavery continues today. CSA is out to turn heads.
The film deals with a lost history and puts slavery back as the centerpiece of the war, Willmott said.
"Usually Civil War films deal with battlefield memories, but by putting slavery at the center you can't escape what the Confederacy really meant," Willmott said.
Filming a movie like CSA wasn't easy. The production took countless nights and weekends to complete, but the film's writer and director kept everyone in high spirits.
"Kevin managed to convince everyone in the cast and crew that this was an important project, a story that needed to be told," said Matthew Jacobson, assistant professor in film and CSA's director of photography. "No matter how crazy things got and things can get pretty crazy on a low budget film like this-I have yet to see him lose his cool on the set."
Whatever problems the cast and crew encountered, they still agreed the filming process was rewarding.
Willmott's favorite part of working on the film was working with the people, who were KU students and a combination of professionals from Lawrence and Kansas City.
"It was really an eclectic group of people that came together to make the film a reality." Willmott said.
Photography director Jacobson said he enjoyed recreating historical footage.
"I was able to recreate not just the look of famous — and infamous — historical filmmakers like Thomas Edison and D.W. Griffith, but also capture the look of 1950s educational films," he said. "If someone watches this movie and says that they can't tell the difference between actual historical footage we've used and our re-creations, then I've done my job."
The filmmakers weren't the only ones working hard to prepare for the opening of their film. Chris Martin, Prairie Village senior, has also been hard at work on a look behind the scenes of CSA. As the producer of a local film show, Out of Focus, he has been trying to cover all aspects of the local film scene. He was interested in documenting the making of CSA.
raises very sensitive issues that our society needs to think about, while at the same time the film maintains a sense of humor about the whole thing." Martin said.
As the filmmakers anxiously await the world's response to their film, the cast and crew think they have created a story worth telling and hope viewers will keep an open mind to something new.
Jacobson said many of people would feel uncomfortable with certain aspects of the film, but he wanted the audience to walk out of the theater talking about the message the filmmakers were trying to communicate.
"When all is said and done, I think that this film won't let those people down," Jacobson said. "CSA might be loved or hated, but I'm pretty sure it won't be ignored."

Tsunami sushi makes waves
By Cal Creek
ccreek@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In January, a tsunami of raw salmon, imitation crab and California rolls engulfed the Market at the Kansas Union.
The tsunami is actually Southern Tsunami, the new sushi stand located between the Pizza Hut counter, and the soups, which opened Jan. 22 at the Market.
David Thu, Tsunami manager, said the stand had the potential to attract more customers.
"We have a small case. Many people don't know we have sushi here." Thus said.
Tsunami also sells products from Wescoe Terrace and on Monday the company opened a stand in the Burge Union's Crimson Cafe.
Including Wescoe Terrace sales, the sushi stand sells about 100 to 125 packages a day, said Jay Glatz, director of food services for the Kansas Memorial Union.
"I'm pleased with the whole concept. We should grow with the addition of Wescoe and the Crimson Cafe," Glatz said.
From the SeaBreeze Salad at $2.99, to the Rainbow Roll at $8.95, the menu offers a variety of options, both in flavor and price.
They serve traditional items such as the rice-filled soybean pockets, inari and eel rolls along with California-style rolls, spicy rolls and vegetarian rolls. Tsunami can also do made-to-order specialty rolls and party trays that range from 20 to 52 pieces.
The staff already has favorite items. Thu likes the Rainbow Roll, a sushi roll that
includes rice, crab, cucumber, avocado, tuna and smoked salmon, while Glatz prefers the sushi with tuna.
Tsunami receives its shipments from its parent company AFC Corp. in California and all ingredients are originally frozen.
Once thawed, the three-person staff makes all the items 24 hours in advance. The misconception of sushi is that it is all raw fish. The only raw, or fresh items, that Tsunami serves are salmon and tuna.
Glatz said that the stand was there in response to customers who have asked for a better variety of healthy foods.
Glatz said he was interested in bringing sushi to Lawrence after seeing the success Southern Tsunami had at other universities, such as the University of Iowa.

Student hosts her'dream'goth show
By Justin LaMort
jiamort@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
Meredith Vacek, a DJ at KJHK, says the local music scene means a lot to her. The DJ said she hopes to one day use her German degree to help talent scouts search for new bands in German-speaking countries.
For Meredith Vacek, Lawrence junior, the road to becoming a KJHK disc jockey wasn't always an easy one.
During her freshman year, she and a friend applied for jobs at KJHK and were flatly rejected, she said.
Brandon Baker/Kansan
Her friend gave up, but Vacek tried again and got a job on the production staff that summer.
A year and a half later she is hosting her own show, Dreamers and Liars, on Thursdays from midnight to 2 a.m.
Vacek, who goes by the name DJ Sapho on her show, also manages the daily operations of the station — imposing her musical tastes on the masses and fields the blame when something goes wrong.
Vacek's show features a wide range of less-than-mainstream music. She labels her show the industrial and goth show,but it also includes electronic body music dark electro, synth pop, power noise, dark wave, death rock and experimental electronic.
DREAMERS AND LIARS
Vacek said those types of music attracted her because of the political messages the music carried - racial equality, anti-consumerism, anti-conformity and
Catch Meredith Vacek on Dreamers and Liars from midnight to 2 a.m. every Thursday on KJHK and at her appearances At The Pool Room,925 Iowa St.,on Feb.27 and March 29.
animal rights.
Electronic body music, dark electro and synth pop are all forms of dance music. The beats are simple, and the lyrics range from silly to serious topics such as art, politics and social commentary.
"Goth is rock-oriented and is surrounded with Romantic, Gothic and Victorian themes and has an aesthetic that appeals to me," Vacek said.
Vacek said KJHK meant everything to her because it supported the local music scene, groups and businesses. She said KJHK did not have a marketing panel determining its play lists or a corporate CEO to answer to.
"That is very important to me," she said. "It means I don't have to violate my principles to work at KJHK and I can throw my whole heart into it."
Mark Hurst, a fellow DJ at KJHK and Philadelphia sophomore, said he enjoyed working with Vacek.
"I find that she is committed, dependable and very inventive, but her voice and
opinion are not respected or credited enough," he said. "I hope to see what she does in the future. I'm sure it would be spectacular."
Vacek said she enjoyed working for a radio station that didn't play just Top 20 hits.
She does not have any solid plans for the
future, she said, but wants to continue being a DJ. Someday she wants use her German degree to help talent scouts search for new bands in German-speaking countries.

Fashion show to feature new, fresh designs
By Beth Braunsdorf
bbraunsdorf@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
Have you ever seen a model wear an entire outfit made of paper? What about bed sheets and stuffed animals? These are just some of the eccentric fashions that area designers will show off Saturday in Detour: A Fashion Show.
The show has no theme but focuses on a spring and summer 2003 frame. It will feature 11 area designers whose collections have wild names like Viloux, Halitosis and Electric Graffiti.
Three KU students, Ashlee Hall, Amanda Luginbill and Sarah Stiefel, organized the event.
"No designer who was interested was denied." Hall said.
The show will feature about 50 models. Three of them model professionally Designers choose their own models.As for designs there will be between 50 and 60
pieces including swimwear, lingerie and sundresses.
Hall said that the different styles and works spoke about the unique lives of each designer.
"I know designers using natural dyes and a textile student who is making her own materials," she said.
Even the music for the show will be customized. Josh Powers, Overland Park junior, also known as DJ sceneboostersoundsystem, met with each designer. Hall said the music enhanced the mood and speed of the different collections.
Hall said their love of fashion inspired them to produce Detour. Stiefel and Hall also enjoyed theater in high school.
"Josh is very talented," Hall said. "The music he plays will be something that people haven't encountered before."
"We had a lot of area connections, and got new interest after we posted flyers," Hall said.
Neither of these girls are majorine in

fashion or design.
Hall is majoring in American Studies, Luginbill is in business and Stiefel is a graduate student who majored in German.
"We really are doing it for fun," Hall said.
Designers will have pieces on sale the following week at Spectators, 710 Massachusetts St.
"It will give them an opportunity to sell pieces, make money, gain experience and hopefully some new accounts," Hall said.
"The rehearsal went really well," Hall, Merriam junior, said. "I realize that it will work itself out and be incredible."
They held a dressed rehearsal at the show's location, Raoul's Velvet Room, 815 New Hampshire St. on Sunday.
The three chose Raoul's because of the space and availability. Hall said it would bring people to a new and different venue.
The set-up for the show is not a conventional catwalk. Hall said it was a custom-built raised platform.
"The audience will be looking slightly up
\aulì zaslÿ yq2 \ancilii adf \hoonlid adf"
or down at the models," Hall said. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the program starts at 8 p.m.Raoul's seats about 200 people.
Stiefel, Kentucky graduate student and one of the producers, said that the money would go back to those involved.
"The designers are all volunteers, and we are hoping just to break even," she said.
"Around the Midwest and small college towns it's hard to find unique fashion." Hogue said. "Detour sounds like a great creative outlet for designers and a new way to support local fashion students and designers."
Margie Hogue, Pittsburg junior, said she would try to attend the show.
Hogue said the fashion show would be new and fresh to Lawrence.
"People need to be open to other ideas of creativity and fashion," she said.

Internet provides sexual alternatives
SEX
Patrick Ross
pross@kansan.com
If your best friend said, "I'm going out on a date with this guy I met online," what's your immediate response? Do you try and warn her away? Do you envy her luck at finding someone in this day and age who actually wants to go on a date? Do you think she's "copped out" and given up on real-world romance?
The Internet is a huge part of our daily lives. Many people log onto places like match.com, gay.com and the late, great sparkmatch.com to meet other people in the area who have similar interests. And there are even folks who look online for sex. Sometimes they even find what they're looking for.
"Surely not!" you say. But, let me assure you, it's true. The Internet enters our sex lives in ways that we never would have imagined 10 years ago. Let's have a show of hands; how many of you have never seen a naughty picture on a computer screen? I'm betting not very many hands are up in the air.
According to a survey of almost 54,000 people, a whopping 55 percent have downloaded a pornographic picture. About 13 percent have had sex with someone they met online and a little more than 36 percent have masturbated while online. Survey.com, a market research firm based in San Jose, Calif., specializes in Internet
market research and conducted the survey.
Social Welfare Professor Dennis Dailey, instructor for Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, maintains that the Internet is an incredible source of information. When sex education is lacking, young people turn to the Internet for answers to their questions about sex, Dailey says.
"For some young people, it's curiosity; for some people, it's a source of sexual stimulation," he said. "There's a lot of stuff out there, some good, some bad."
So what are the benefits and dangers of involving a computer in your sex life? First, we should look at porn. Wipe that smile off your face, I mean first we should consider porn, sheesh. Searching for, downloading and watching porn can be awfully time-consuming. I remember when static dirty pictures were enough to stimulate me. But
as I got older, and more technologically advanced, I downloaded my first porn video and there was no turning back.
Not only are video files much larger and, therefore, slower to download, there comes a time when you've seen so many of them that it's tough to get new material. A video gets less erotic with every viewing unless it really gets you off. However, there are benefits to virtual porn: it's usually free, you can choose to watch only what turns you on and it might give you ideas for better sexual treatment of your future bedmates.
Next, we look at finding sex on the Internet. There are two kinds of sex available on the Internet, actual sex and cyber sex. Cyber sex falls into one of two categories, you can type visually-erotic prose back and forth, which sometimes results in some creative spelling and grammar errors when one hand is used for typing and the other for sexual healing, or you can make use of a Webcam or two and actually see each other masturbate.
I suppose the type of cyber sex in which you engage, if any, should be based upon the way you get turned on. If you like naughty stories, go for typing. If you're a picture-person, invest in a Webcam and log onto Cuseeme. Cyber sex is anonymous,
easy and 100 percent disease free (except perhaps, carpal tunnel syndrome).
Finding actual sex on the Internet is a slightly different matter. Sure it's exciting and there's no pressure to pay for dinner, but it can also be dangerous or awkward. Anonymous liaisons arranged over the Internet are not at all uncommon these days.
I won't say I've never "hooked up" online, but I will say I prefer good old-fashioned flirting first. There are dilemmas to consider when setting up sexual encounters online, such as: Your place or his? Is she going to steal all my money? Will he really look like his picture? Is she really a girl?
Surely you can see the problems when seeking sex in cyber space. I've had and have heard of great sexual encounters that old America Online helped make possible, but I've had and heard of just as many that were creepy, scary, strange or otherwise unpleasant.
The Internet is a tool. Sometimes it is used as a sexual tool. I hesitate to assign adjectives like good and evil to inanimate objects and currents of electricity, but using the Internet to spice up your sex life is something to consider carefully.

Anti-parties, raves. keggers and formals
NOTES
Valentine's Day parties provide unique experiences for everyone
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Editor's note: Kansan photographers were not allowed into these parties to take photos.
While some couples spent Valentine's Day weekend enjoying the romance of each other's company, others took solace
in alcohol and complete strangers.
I was charged with the task of finding out what happened when people went out with the intent
The fraternity or sorority formal
to party over Valentine's Day weekend. I enjoyed seven parties Friday and Saturday night and found that they could be grouped into five categories.
Formals are a lot like proms in nature. The men mo man
dress up, either in suits or tuxedos, and the women wear elegant dresses. The formals are also more fun for women than men, according to a couple of men who asked to remain nameless.
Sigma Kappa sorority held its formal over the weekend at the Madrid Theatre, 3810 Main St., in Kansas City, Mo.
These parties can be expensive, and the alcohol prices reflect that trend. At the Sigma Kappa formal, alcoholic drinks were $4, and non-alcoholic drinks were $2. Hors d'oeurves were also served.
Overall Grade: B for women, C for men.
Could be great if: You have a fantastic date and don't mind occasional shrieks for no apparent reason.
"It gets everyone out into a different atmosphere," Elliott said. "It gets girls who don't typically hang out in the house to a place where everyone can get to know each other better."
The Overland Park sophomore said formals were important for a sorority to have.
Lori Elliott, Sigma Kappa social chair, said more than 100 girls attended and that almost all of them had dates.
The typical ragin' kegger
If you don't know what this one is like, you probably aren't in college. Three of the parties I attended this weekend were keg parties. It was typically $5 to drink from a keg all night. The rooms were packed full of people drinking their fill for a low price. One underage drinker said that these parties were his favorite.
"I don't have a fake ID, nor do I have the money to have one made," said the freshman, who asked his name be withheld. "I
go to probably four or five of these a week, it's a great chance for someone like me to drink cheap alcohol without being carded."

The downside? Police often raid these parties first, giving the party an average lifespan of a few short hours. Another downside to the police busting up the party is that underage partiers may go home with MIPs instead of a beer buzz,the freshman said.
This is a fun party to attend if you know the people there or just need a break from the bar scene, but otherwise it is a fairly dull way to live your party life.
Overall Grade: B if you're underage, C for anyone else.
Could be great if: You have little money and

don't mind the constant traffic of people.
The techno dance party
Do you love bumping techno music, glowing lights in the dark and occasional free alcohol? If so, this could be a winner. The somewhat eccentric crowd makes for an intriguing blend of personalities, while the active atmosphere can act like a psychedelic aphrodisiac.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy the music, or get up and show what you can do if you think you can match that crazy glow-stick guy.
Overall Grade: A+ if you are the glow-stick guy, B+ for every one else.
The Screw Valentine's Day party
Could be great if:
You don't mind the song "Sandstorm"
and if you're too drunk to notice a headache.
Often, attendees use mind-altering sub
I have to say that this was the most interesting concept of all of the parties I attended. Take angry single people, add a keg, jungle juice coined "love potion number seven" and the urge to get utterly wasted and hook up, and you have a Screw Valentine's Day Party. Annie Monfort, Iola junior, said the party was a great concept.

Luckily, more men caught on and started to show up as I was leaving the room. So, if you didn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend and just wanted to get drunk and hook up in the name of anti-love, this was the party for you. Otherwise, it was a solid party for pure people-watching entertainment.
became increasingly intoxicated. None of the guys seemed too keen on cashing in on their good fortune, not really realizing what they had around them.
Overall Grade: A- for men, C+ for women. Could be great if: You are male and are somewhat aware of your surroundings.
None of the parties really knocked me socks off, but I enjoyed them all. On the whole, I would say that the students enjoyed getting out last weekend, whether to celebrate Valentine's Day or to celebrate in spite of it.

at running run, we stay here and get drunk," Monfort said. "There are a lot more women here than men."
The party itself was somewhat comical. It involved women flocking to the "few good men," while every-one
The acquaintance party or social gathering
This is the most laid back of all of the party types. A group of 10 to 30 people who know each other decide to have a gettogether, often with alcohol involved. There is the opportunity to talk to people you know outside of the daily monotony of college life without yelling over thumping music. A decent idea for a night when not much else is going on.
Overall Grade: A- if you know the people, F
if you don't.
Could be great if: You just need a quiet time out to recover from the night before.
On the whole

Skateboarding combines skating,The Simpsons
What happened to everything in Springfield? Did Tony Hawk, skateboarding prodigy, travel there one day? He must have, because now your favorite Springfieldians have all taken up skateboarding.
Bart Simpson has been skateboarding since we first laid eyes on him, but he's never done tricks like this. The Simpsons Skateboarding by Electronic Arts Games is for anyone who fell in love with the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series and also shares a love for The Simpsons.
The town of Springfield has been transformed into a giant skate park. It's your job to shred, flip and grind with the best of them. The Annual Skate Tour is making a stop in Springfield and is open to locals only.
The grand prize of the skate tour: $99. It may not seem as much, but remember how Homer relished the idea of making $25 when he sold his stock of the nuclear power plant.
Your task is to hit the streets of Springfield, build up your skater's stats and earn boards that will help you achieve your ultimate goal—successfully skating Springfield Gorge, a death trap but a skater's paradise.
One way to improve your skater's statistics is by learning tricks at Skillz School. Completing the objectives also rewards you with a few cents.
REVIEW
It mat not seem like much, but as you buy new stats it goes a long way to becoming the ultimate skateboarder. As you advance in the Skillz School, the tasks and tricks become more difficult to perform and demand more practice. Timing is everything. You can also win tournaments to gain money.
The controls are a little bit difficult to get through, but with practice you'll be skating like a pro in no time. It took me a few hours to pull off a successful grind with a few flips without busting my skater's head open.
The graphics aren't anything spectacular. Although the characters are in 3-D, they're not prize-winning.
The multi-player feature is exciting. It's good to go up and down Springfield and practice your moves,but competing

against another skater can show you how much your practice has paid off.
There are two types of competitions. In the first, the game of Horse, you aren't required to do the same trick as your opponent. You just have to beat his score.
If you fail to reach the target or fall off
your board while playing Horse, then ... well, you know.
The other competition is an all-out skating free for all. You and your opponent have an allotted time to accumulate as many points as possible. The the highest point total wins.
As you complete certain tasks, secret prizes open up to you: new boards, secret levels, and secret skaters (Hint: One of them drives a bus).
The Simpsons Skateboarding is a challenging game. If you want to complete the game, renting it will not suffice unless you rent it many times.
All the goals cannot be achieved in a sitting, but it's a game you can only get better and better at if you practice.

Any Given Thursday
by John Mayer
Reviewed by Steve Vockrodt
svockrodt@kansan.com
How can music consumers tolerate "musicians" who completely and totally rip off other contemporary artists? The release of John Mayer's live double-album Any Given Thursday (he even had to do a spin-off of a movie title) proves there must exist a market for shameless cop-off artists.

artists and dispatch old, retired genres of music. For instance, Nirvana made quick work of the '80s hair bands with a new creative form of music that paved the way for countless alternative acts.
Since then, rock music has been operating in the creative red. John Mayer's blatant copying of Dave Matthews and consumers' outgoing response to it, is stunning to say the least. Mayer even goes so far as to give the listener a constant reminder throughout the live album of how desirable he is to high school girls by plugging constant crowd screaming that almost does the listener a favor by drowning out the music.
On the album are several tunes that even casual Mayer fans probably have studio versions of on their purchased album or on their hard-drives. Also apparent are several instances of mimicking Dave Matthews in terms of vocals and musicianship, along with totally uninspiring lyrics in songs such as "Your Body is a Wonderland."
An unimaginative cover of The Police's "Message in a Bottle" does nothing to dispatch the overriding theme of a lack of originality in the album. At least by choosing such a well-known hit by a band that was creative in its own time, and then trying to perform is as Mayer imagines Dave Matthews might, Mayer invokes plenty of narcissistic high-pitched crowd screams that the albums producer makes sure not to leave out, even if it compromises the quality of the recording.
Dave Matthews Band fans that might have their interest perked by a musical clone in John Mayer probably do not need to rush out to buy Any Given Thursday; they probably have many similar songs in their own Matthew's catalog. Hardened Mayer fans might enjoy having the album
as a scream track to follow along with because inventive music was obviously not the aim with the album.

We're A Happy Family, A Tribute to the Ramones by various artists Reviewed by Nate Harold nharold@kansan.com
We're A Happy Family, a tribute to the Ramones, is an appropriate gesture to honor the New York band that forever changed rock'n' roll.
Unfortunately, the album is too weighed down by an abundance of halfhearted and underdeveloped covers to be a fitting tribute.
The album kicks off with an unexpectedly mellow take on "Havaana Affair" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This wandering, spacv cover is

a fine attempt of putting a unique spin on a Ramones song, but comes off as disappointing, lacking the urgency and energy of the original. The same can be said of the bulk of the tracks, like Rob Zombie covering "Blitzkrieg Bop," Offspring with "I Wanna Be Sedated," and Marilyn Manson with "KKK Took My Baby Away." But there are exceptions.
Eddie Vedder, backed by the Seattle band Zeke take on "I Believe in Miracles," creating the standout track on the album. The band stays true to the original, coming off with an incredibly fierce, no-holds-barred sound.
Despite these few glimpses of hope, this tribute album falls short. Too many lackluster covers and some unnecessary reworking of these simple pop classics hamper what should be a fitting thank you to one of America's greatest bands in history.
Vedder, lacking his trademark baritone mumbling, sounds like a modern-day Joey Ramone, giving the song and the Ramones the tribute they deserve. Other positive notes include a surprisingly appropriate translation of "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by Pete Yorn and a shockingly accurate, punk rock version of "Beat on the Brat" by U2.

Carlin uses cynical, crass humor to entertain crowd
George Carlin may keep getting older, but his material does not follow suit.
Monday night, Carlin entertained the audience at the Lied Center with a mixture of old and new material. He addressed the audience, and warned them that half of the show would be taken from his previous HBO special, Complaints and Grievances, and the other half would be from his upcoming HBO stand-up special.
Carlin is known as one of the crudest comedians around, adding multiple expletives to make a serious matter humorous to all.
Carlin's complaint bit, taken from his last HBO special, involved whining about everything from people who pay for a pack of gum with their credit card to guys named Todd and Tucker.
The strongest portion of the show was the final third, when George displayed two of his finest talents: complaining and critical thinking.
The best parts of Carlin's complaints were his transitions from complaining about one group of people to the next. In one instance, he said, "Here's another group of people who should be locked in Port-A-Potties and lit on fire." The transitions of course got more vulgar, to the point where I could never print them in this publication and expect to keep my job.
For example, Carlin got a reaction from the audience when he spouted for 15 minutes on suicide.
In other situations, one would have to be a serious Carlin fan to laugh. I found it hard to laugh when he went on a tangent, spouting off about cancer, and, for the most part, the audience had a similar reaction.

to close out the show. He explained to the crowd his ability as a visionary. The concept for the first enema was an example of the eerie and random thoughts he had while he was alone. Ideas such as who first thought of shooting liquid up another person's rectum is exactly what makes George Carlin who he is.
Second, Carlin is so successful because he really does not care what anyone else thinks. His in-your-face attitude combined with the ability to make topics such as death and terminal illness humorous is something that you would never expect.
First, George Carlin is the best representation I have ever seen of that little voice inside your head that only speaks when something is really ticking you off. He'll take all of those everyday pet peeves that everyone experiences and shed light on it with language not suitable for children.
I came away with two conclusions about the show.
All together, the show was well worth the ticket's face value. In an era where so many people seem uptight all the time, it's fun to hear from the thorn in their sides.

'Daredevil'weak in comic-book style
I
REVIEW
Stephen Shupe
sshupe@kansan.com
Reading comic books is like joining an exclusive club—it's the geek equivalent of Studio 54. At the complete opposite end is the infinitely accessible and commercial club of Hollywood movies. Thanks to Stan Lee and the uninspired members of the Screenwriter's Guild, these forces have formed a filmmaking conglomerate, to mixed artistic results.
Daredevil, the first Stan Lee-Warner Bros. production since Sam Raimi's hugely successful Spider-Man, reeks of the kind of dangers that arise from melding two extremes of the popular culture spectrum. If American audiences want their superheroes to sport Nokia phones and Gucci clothes, then the line between art and commerce has officially been blurred forever.
When we first see him, cradling a cross high above Hell's Kitchen, Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck) doesn't look like much, even in his devil-red costume that suggests a second layer of flesh.
But wait, the filmmakers decide that's the end of the movie, so we flashback to Scott Terra, who plays Matt at age 12 in the best and earliest scenes of Daredevil. Tony Soprano's son (OK, the actor who plays
Tony Soprano's son, Robert Iler) picks on poor Matt, whose father was once a skilled prizefighter but now works as the muscle of a local kingpin.
One day, Matt sees his dad beating up a man for money owed to the mob, and when Matt runs for it, he gets sprayed with toxic chemicals that blind him for life.
After his freak accident, Matt's other senses become supercharged. His hearing is so in-tune that vibrations send X-ray visions of audible objects flashing across his mind's eye. When his dad gives up the life of crime, Matt pledges to serve as the guardian of the city, and takes his father's professional name, Jack "the Devil" Murdock, as his own.
This promising set-up dissolves into mediocrity as Affleck takes over the picture. The director, Mark Steven Johnson, has tried to make up for his own lack of talent with a great cast that unfortunately doesn't deliver.
The way his scenes have been filmed mostly in close-ups, you can tell Colin Farrell, who plays the evil Bullseye, is supposed to be the highlight of the movie. But Farrell leers though a grotesquely smug performance that'll leave you hoping Affleck squashes his tiny head like a grapefruit.
Jennifer Garner, who's earned rave reviews for her work on television's Alias, looks mostly stranded as Affleck's rough-and-tumble love interest, Elektra. Her first scene, where she pulls Crouching Tiger moves on Affleck for no apparent reason, is as good a time as any to count all the reasons why you shouldn't be seeing this movie.
High on my list of grievances would be choppy visual effects, unnecessary killings, corny lines like "Justice is served," endless helicopter shots of the city, and the fact that the movie shows the white hero

can only truly become a hero by beating up a black man.
Even for a comic book-film that takes Tim Burton's gothic Batman and Alex Proyas' action-heavy The Crow as cinematic blueprints, well-staged fight scenes are not a redeeming value. I'm sure Johnson had good intentions when he took this movie to Warner Bros., but these tinseltown vampires control every last detail. It must have been like editing with his hands tied behind his back when they asked him to put pop favorites like Moby and The Calling on the soundtrack.
If comic books are meant to inhabit their own universe, this is what happens when worlds collide.

About Schmidt GRADE: B+
A sort of Straight Story gone cynical. Alexander Payne's acclaimed comedydrama is a probing examination of corporate misgivings and midwestern complacency. Jack Nicholson, certain to win the Oscar next month, plays Warren Schmidt, a Willy Lomanesque salesman who's spent his entire life being polite and reticent when what he really wants to do is give everybody he knows, from his doting wife to his redneck future son-in-law, a good slap in the face. Warren's hysterically confessional letters to a South African child named Ndugu provide a surprisingly emotional payoff to the film, which usually feels more literary than it should. Nicholson's performance, one of his all-time best, says what most people can't about the fear of merely taking up space.
Bowling for Columbine GRADE: A-
Most people think Bowling for Columbine is a movie about gun control, but that's really only a side topic in Michael Moore's fascinating new documentary. Searching for answers to why we blow each other away in record numbers, Moore finds the seeds of American violence sown in every bank, barbershop and nuclear weapons factory in the country.
The unilateral appeal of violence reaches everyone because everyone listens to the media, which scares its viewers into shopping away obscure, invisible threats. You might think the filmmaker is rambling a bit as he jumps from the Columbine High School massacre to Sept 11 to racist welfare programs, but if anything Moore's film proves that the problem of violence in America really is as all encompassing as he presents it. Bowling for Columbine is a wake-up call to the world that also happens to be the most energetic nonfiction film since Hoop Dreams.
Catch Me If You Can GRADE: B+
Leonardo DiCaprio is all boyish charm as Frank Abagnale Jr., the real-life con artist who swindled millions of dollars as a fake Pan American Airline pilot back when he was a teenager in the '60s. The movie, directed by that unparalleled magician Steven Spielberg, is the breeziest caper in memory. Tom Hanks amuses as Frank's clumsy FBI pursuer, and Christopher Walken brings empathy and pathos to the part of Frank's scheming fail
ure of a father. Besides Hanks' other 2002 release, the underrated Road to Perdition, no other movie last year combined its cinematography, scoring and set design with this level of gloss. If only Spielberg could find a way to make a move that runs less than 140 minutes.
Chicago
GRADE: B-
Everybody sings and dances just swell in Rob Marshall's take on the Bob Fosse Broadway hit, but after Chicago is over you may wonder what all the fuss was about. Renee Zellweger stars as Roxie Hart, a nobody who wants to be a somebody who becomes famous the American way: She shoots her lover dead. Catherine Zeta-Jones seethes with sexuality as the cool-hearted Velma Kelly, and Richard Gere, who for once deserved the Academy Award nomination he was snubbed for, channels James Cagney in a rare magnetic performance. Marshall's carboncopy theatricality ensures you'll have a good time, but for less style over substance, see Bjork in the daring Dancer in the Dark.

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind GRADE:B
George Clooney's brilliant adaptation of Chuck Barris' loony-tunes autobiography is long on thematic heftiness but short on character development. Sam Rockwell gives an exhaustive portrayal of Barris, the much-maligned creator of The Dating Game and The Gong Shock who claimed to be a CIA assassin who wiped out Reds for the government. Clooney is an inventive visual stylist, but casting Julia Roberts as a professional killer was a serious artistic mistake. We get a sense of many things while watching Confessions of a Dangerous Mind-of cheap fame and American Idol excess-but never a sense of the man behind the mask. Layered enough to suggest repeat viewings might enhance it but ultimately a contradiction to the function of biography.
— Stephen Shupe
Darkness Falls GRADE:D
A silly and mostly unsuccessful ghost story about a demonic tooth fairy (really!) plaguing some none-too-bright townsfolk and a guy on heavy dosages of anti-psychotics. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Emma Caulfield co-stars. It's more like "Darkness Kerplunks."
Final Destination 2
GRADE: B+
This gory sequel can't wait for its stupidly defensive cast of forgettable characters to die spectacularly horrible deaths. Despite the ambiguous previews, the film picks up where its superb predecessor left off. Nearly all of the survivors of the Flight 180 tragedy have been tracked down by Death. After a premonition dream sequence that arguably tops the terrifying plane explosion in the original, a new tragedy occurs, this one an expertly staged pile-up on the highway. Nothing new here, just the same scary logic to the details of accidental death that made the first film such a surprise hit. A criminally fast-paced and laughably shocking ride that's not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach.
The Hours
GRADE: A
Most people see movies to escape "the hours," the moments of the day when there's more to be endured than desired. So why see Stephen Daldry's stunning adaptation of Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer prizewinner? First and foremost is the film's brutal approach to depression; this is the kind of honesty rarely seen in commercial or even independent film. Coming in at a close second are the positively amazing performances by Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Ed Harris. The film's various timelines seem at first disconnected but eventually cohere, in a triumphantly cinematic way, into a powerful inseparability. It's easy to follow but don't even think of showing up late or you'll be totally lost. I want Scorsese to win the Oscar for Best Director, but I hope this beats 'Chicago' for Best Picture - it's a lyrical film that wants you to rage against the dying of the light.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days GRADE:D
Despite a few clever insights and twists, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is neither good nor distinctive enough to rise above the level of generic romantic comedy. This, despite appealing performances by Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two
Towers
GRADE: A
The fellowship might be broken, but everything else in Peter Jackson's massive follow up to The Fellowship of the
Ring feels perfectly in place. The surprise is what an altogether different experience The Two Towers is from its predecessor. It falls more directly into the category of fantasy and its stirring climactic grandeur hasn't been matched in the last thirty years of epic Hollywood filmmaking. Much has been said of the twisted fun of Gollum, but I think more praise should be given to Elijah Wood, whose frighteningly vulnerable facial expressions obviously provided inspiration for his computer-generated companion. I'm guessing you've already seen this, so let me take this opportunity to recommend one of my favorite films, Jackson's sublime Heavenly Creatures, which was recently released on an excellent DVD.

The Pianist GRADE: C+
Inspired by musician Wladyslaw Szpilman's account of how he eluded the concentration camps and stayed alive for six years in Nazi-occupied Poland, Roman Polanski has made a potent film about how survival bears only the most casual relation to life. An extraordinary film with an extraordinary performance by Adrien Brody as Szpilman.
Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus
Rabbit-Proof Fence
Grade: C+
The remarkable true story of three aboriginal "half-caste" girls who escape a government camp in western Australia and travel 1,500 miles across daunting terrain to get back to their families. Directed by Phillip Noyce with passion and smarts, this is a quest of incredible scope, beauty and emotion.

Taut, enjoyable thriller with Al Pacino as a CIA scout who taps Colin Powell as an agent-in-training. Are the head games they play training day or the real deal?

Once again Jackie Chan and his nimble limbs join forces with Owen Wilson and his loose lips, this time to rid 1887 Peking of British imperialists and London of Chinese assassins out to kill Queen Vicky. And once again is not enough. Again and again, please.

Italian food brings more than pasta
What drives the epicurean tastes of food today is the sampling of Italian cuisine.
EATTHIS
---
The explosion of Italian ingredients that have come into homes and restaurants,has inspired many to create new and timetested Italian favorites.
Christina DiGiacomo cdigiacomo@kansan.com
As most Americans believe that mozarella sticks and spaghetti and meatballs are staples of traditional Italian favorites, these specific dishes represent what is known as Italian-American food, not the Italian repertoire. With little knowledge of what tastes constitutes which regions of Italy, many are unsure of the representation of the culture's food.
So, what exactly comprises the Italian fare? Pasta, yes, but also many kinds of fruits and vegetables, like figs and capers. There are also several kinds of meat and fish like wild boar, venison, sea bass, and marlin that dominate the different regions. Aromatic herbs accentuate the country, the most popular being flat-leaf parsley. Indented in the regions' foods are basil, oregano, rosemary, mint, sage, marjoram, and bay leaves.
Typically, foods that come from Northern Italy include hearty soups and stews, pesto and classic ragu sauces, radiechio; cured meats like prosciutto, fondue, rich sauces, polentas, lasagna, tortellini dishes
As most believe that mozzarella sticks and spaghetti are traditional Italian favorites, these dishes represent Italian-American food.
and risotto; and such popular cheeses as gorgonzola, parmigiano-reggiano and mascarpone.
In Central Italy, there are baked pasta dishes. Penny and bucatini pastas are abundant. Fresh fish and spit-roasted meats like mountain beef and steak are associated. Olives and white truffles are also distinguished.
In Southern Italy, short cut pasta is plentiful; lamb, goat and chicken are specialties; hot peppers and tomato sauces dominate; and mozzarella cheese and the freshest of fresh greens are there. Most famously, pizza was born in the south. On
the Italian Islands, couscous, saffron, eggplant, fish, lamb and wheat pastas generate through Sicily and Sardine.
With such a vast selection of foods, many of the best and most well-known Italian restaurants emphasize the provisions of such specific regions from Italy.
For one, Leeds Restaurant, 101 West 22nd St., in Kansas City, highlights flavors of the Northern region of Friuli-Venezia Jowl. There, dishes like Frock, a crispy fried Montasio cheese filled with an assortment of vegetables and meats, are on the menu as well as the Nooks con Anita in Gust, which is rolled potato dumplings drooling with a rosemary tomato based sauce with hints of shredded duck meat. Such items emphasize Italy's popular Vent region.
Another up-and-coming Kansas City favorite is Frondizi's Restaurant located at 4558 Main St. near the Country Club Plaza. Frondizi's, which was honored with Wine Spectator's award of excellence in 2002, has tastes of northern and central regions that include popular items like Oslo Bunco, a veal shank braised in a rich stock of wine including hints of carrots, onions, celery, olives and a touch of lemon.
This and other items such as the steamed mussels or lobster risotto will surely encourage drooling when thinking
There are an abundance of rising Italian restaurants in the Kansas City area. For more information about Italian cooking, check out the Molto Mario show on the Food Network.

Sign hunters strike campus

A mortally wounded sign dangles in the breeze. This sign, which was likely felled by a crossbow bolt, is part of a group of endangered signs. "This should never have happened," said a tearful Jason Hadion, Wichita senior.

At the moment of the kill, the sign hunter's blade shines in the moonlight. "We'd rather hunt buffalo, but they're so hard to find," said Hadion. "Besides, animals have the ability to move."
Every full moon in February, a brutal band of brigands embark on a mission to hunt street signs. This year was no exception.
"Sign hunters think they're all that and a bag of chips," said KU security officer Jon Wilkerson. "But they aren't even all that. They're not even a bag of chips."

Lawrence resident jealous of other man's Taco Bell order
COMMENTARY
Toby Smith beak@kansan.com
I don't know what I was thinking. At one time I was confident in my order, but no more. You sir, you've shaken my fundamental understanding of what a Taco Bell order could be to the core. A #8-that really flew in under the radar. Unassuming, perhaps, but packing a powerful punch when one really ponders—not one but two delicious, fulfilling gorditas, and a taco for textural balance. None of that grade-F generic Taco Bell horse-slop "meat" for you, either—a palate as clearly refined as yours demands nothing but the finest chicken or steak.
Asking for steak in your taco too? In a word, inspired. The next level, though, the move that spoke softly to my soul the
heart-rending words "your order can't compare," was when you put the Monterrey Chicken Quesadilla on top of your combo. Magnificent. Sure, I'd seen the ads, but to have the temerity to go right ahead and order one-you are cut from a finer cloth, sir. Ever forging onward with your order, tradition be damned--it's that pioneer spirit that won us the war and makes you the best Taco-Bell-orderer I've ever known!
But your coup de gras was without question the delectable cinnamon twists. All mortals, myself most of all, have not the capacity to remember those wonderful little bits of fried sugar. WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME, CINNAMON TWISTS!?!?! For it is with the cinnamon twists that your meal finds its balance. I don't even know what to do with these stupid nachos.
You, sir, have taken this drudgery and made it art, and you are to be commended. Your Taco Bell order represents all that is right with humanity, and it has the power to lift the spirit of our broken community, and indeed this troubled nation.
Damn, I wish I had gotten that.
Man jealous of other man's Taco Bell order in the abstract
Now that I've recovered from my initial impressions, I can see clearly the subtle mastery of your order, clever sir. It's not so much what you have ordered, it's how you have ordered. Your order echoes, thus, in my mind: 'Number Eight, Steak, Steak on the Taco, with a Dr. Pepper.' It's practically epic verse, with bold dactyls galloping forth from your drink selection. Bravo, sir. Your Taco Bell order, in 11 words, reassembles the language that Joyce took apart. Your order's material transcendence is further emphasized by the anaphora with "Steak." I am so stunned by your order that I cannot be stopped from using the passive voice. I am humbled by comparison, great craftsmans. I stagnate. I die. My nachos tasteth foul.
'Good Will Hunting' great for college crowd
REVIEW
J.C. Hackmuth beak@kansan.com
My Freshman year I saw a film at Nunemaker Hall that changed my life forever. Now, as a writer/reviewer for Tongue-in-Beak, I would like to tell all of you about this wonderful film.
As you may have guessed from the title, this film is called "Good Will Hunting." It is about how the smartest kid at a prestigious technical school isn't a student, he's the kid who cleans the floors! Not only is this an amazing premise for any film, but it is also especially relevant to us students here at the University of Kansas.
For example, some of the scenes take place near Harvard. My Sociology professor once called KU "Harvard on the Kaw," which always made me feel like I was going to Harvard, only it was on the Kaw. And as a student at Harvard on the Kaw, I was able to pick up some of the fun
In fact, this film's dialogue is so pervasive and the characters so compelling that I have found other means of incorporating it into my own life. Like when I am enjoying a pitcher at Brothers before the big game, my friends crowd around and eyeball my ticket just waiting for the magic words," I've got to see about a girl," which I inevitably say ever time. Even if there are no girls in the bar. I also set my math assignments on fire, shout "You're suspect!" at potential employers, and drive to California for no apparent reason. None of this ever does me any good, but hey, Boston wasn't built in a day.
facts in the film. Like that part, when Robin Williams mentions "Chomsky," I heard that name on the radio once. And when he talks about a painter who cuts his ear off, it's Van Gogh! I learned that in Art History.
Another thing I like about Robin Williams is the way he calls Good Will "Chief." Now I say that to all of my friends in class. For example, when my friend Zack borrowed five dollars from me, I said, "You have to pay me back, got that Chief?" Chief has replaced "Old Sport" as the nicknamof the 90s.
I did have a couple of bones to pick with this movie, though. Like all that "baseball glove" stuff. With a movie about such smart people, why do they put that
GOOD WILL HUNTING...Ain there? I mean, who wrote that part,
George Carlin? And it also makes me
mad how Professor Lembeau doesn't
even say hello to his assistant, he just asks
him to get coffee. What, is he invisible?
Starring: Good Will, Robin Williams, Good Will's friends, a girl
Rated R for some bad words and people getting beat up on the playground
What I really like about this movie is how it conveys real emotion through innovative film techniques. For example, when there is that really emotional fight, scene between Will and Skylar (who looks pretty old for a college student, by the way) there is a poster of a skeleton on the wall. And when Will and Robin Williams have their breakthrough, the actors are really crying. When I saw Will crying like that, it made me want to hold him, too. I mean, give him a high-five. Ummm...
Now on video
Recently, Siskel and Ebert gave this movie "two thumbs up." I also give it two thumbs up, but if I had seven thumbs, I would only give it five thumbs up.

Services to honor developer, KU alumnus

The Lawrence community will remember Robert "Bob" Billings for playing alongside Wilt Chamberlain on the University of Kansas basketball team and for his efforts to develop West Lawrence.
Billings, 65, died in his home on Feb. 13. Memorial services for Billings will be at 4 p.m. today at the Lied Center.

Billings
Billings, a 1959 graduate of the University, was elected student body president in 1958. He was a guard on the KU basketball team and played on the 1957 team that was the runner up in the NCAA tournament
Billings was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society and was president of Alba Tau Omega fraternity.
In 1959, he received the Forrest C. Allen award, given to the KU senior athlete with the highest academic standing. Mark Allen of Mission Hills, Kan., grandson of Phog Allen and friend of Billings, said nobody had ever loved the University as much as Billings did.
Allen said although his grandfather never coached Billings, he always spoke fondly of him.
Richard Billings, Robert's brother, remembers that final game at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas lost to North Carolina 53-54.

Students to enroll online

Kansan staff writer
Enrollment at the University of Kansas has finally reached the 21st century. It's now online.
Students will receive the first of several e-mails today from the Office of the University Registrar about online enrollment. The e-mail will provide students with a timeline for online enrollment for the Fall 2003 semester. Students will be able to enroll online at the Lawrence, Edwards, University of Kansas Medical Center and University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita campuses
"Students at all four campus will use
the same system to enroll," said Allison Lopez, assistant to the vice provost for information services.
Lopez said in the past, students who took classes at both the Lawrence and Edwards campuses had to enroll in person at both locations. Online enrollment eliminates that need.
The online enrollment system has been a work in progress, said Lopez. The University purchased the PeopleSoft software
in 1997, which included the online enrollment software. The online timetable for Fall 2003 will be available March 10.
Students will also get the new version of the enrollment appointment, Lopez said. Now students will receive a time for them to login and enroll instead of an appointment to enroll in Strong Hall.
Students will then use the Kyou stu

Credit options Students opt to take classes elsewhere
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
University of Kansas students may fear taking one class or another at some point in their college career. Some struggle through the class, some find a way around taking it, but others prefer to avoid the class at the University of Kansas and take an equivalent class at a nearby community college.
Local junior colleges are filled with KU students getting the same credit at a smaller college. One out of every 10 students at Johnson County Community College is a KU student, said Dennis Day, dean of student services at Johnson County, Barton County Community College sent 215 transcripts to various departments at the University from July 2001 to June 2002, said Dick Wade, dean of enrollment management at Barton County.
Megan Hill, interim director of transfer student recruitment, said it was important for students to first confirm that the credits would transfer before they took the class.
"Most students don't do research," she said. "They just take chances and just sign up without being sure."
Amber Kuhnert, Bendena senior, took her third and fourth Spanish classes at JCCC. She said she liked the summer class she took there so much she decided to finish her Spanish requirements there.
"It was easier because they explained it differently than KU does," she said. "The teachers were more personal and paid more attention to detail. They took time to teach to everybody."
"Having more involvement creates a fluid conversational environment," she said. "But KU can be very demanding. Being so large, I think they are looking more for statistical results than giving the best educational experience."
Katie Ellena, Lawrence senior, is enrolled in her second semester of Western Civilization at Barton County Community College. She decided to take the online course after hearing it had less reading assignments than the course offered at the University.
Kuhnert said the University's large size made it difficult for professors to give personal attention to every student.

Groups choose hall design
By JJ Hensley
jhensley@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
A coalition of neighborhood and University of Kansas representatives decided Wednesday afternoon on a design for a new scholarship hall.
The campus building committee and the community advisory board chose the twin, three-story design of the hall instead of a two-story, three-building setup that was more spread out.
The principal design firm, Treanor Architects, presented the two designs which were among the original six designs.
Maggie Hansen, Sand Springs, Okla., senior, said the groups made suggestions to the original designs and the firm combined the points the groups liked and disliked.
"We chose the design we did because we felt it would be a smaller footprint on the neighborhood, and it would be less visible from the street," she said.
Both groups—the campus advisory committee made up of students, faculty and staff, and the community advisory board made up of Lawrence residents had significant input on the hall's design said Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor.
Although the chosen design might have seemed like a better fit from the outside, it was the interior of the hall that won the most points with students on the committee.
Jason Holborow, Chesterfield, Mo., sophomore, said he liked the variety of the room setup. "The laundry room and living room were on the first floor in

this plan, so it gave it more of the feeling of a house, which goes along with fitting it in with the neighborhood," he said.
The Oread Neighborhood Association was concerned about how the scholarship hall would fit in with its surroundings.
The group vehemently opposed the University's purchasing and tearing down of three houses in the 1300 block of Ohio Street to create space for the hall.
SCHOLARSHIP HALL
CONSTRUCTION
What happened: The campus building committee and the community advisory board chose a design for the women's scholarship hall that will open in Fall 2005.
What's next: The design was sent back to the architects who will provide more detailed plans at the next meeting in May.
The association claimed that the University was crossing an "implied boundary" that runs through the alley between Ohio and Louisiana streets.
By Wednesday afternoon, much of that opposition had turned into cooperation with the University, a step almost unheard of in the past, said Weinberg, who serves as the chancellor's liaison on both committees.
"There is a new relationship now and this is a new era in terms of interaction between the University and the neighborhoods," Weinberg said. "The priority was to see a design that fit and was compatible with the neighborhood. That was the desire of the University and the community representatives, and it was an imperative set forth by the scholarship hall donors."
The approved design now goes back to Treanor Architects, who should have a more definitive set of plans for the advisory committee to review in early May. Weinberg said the name of the scholarship hall's donor would be announced at that time.

KU student among finalists for Truman Scholarship
Travis Weller, Garden City junior, has been nominated for the national Truman Scholarship. The scholarship can provide up to $30,000 for undergraduate and graduate study.
Weller, a sociology major, submitted a proposal to address the culture that makes rape more acceptable, and to include men, rather than focus exclusively on victims. The proposal was part of the application process.
"It's absolutely a wonderful privilege," Weller said. "I'm really excited for the opportunity to participate in the Truman experience."
Katherine Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, supervises Weller in his work as a men's outreach coordinator. She said he was deserving of recognition.
"Travis is remarkable in his focus, his vision and his determination to follow through on the goals he stated in his proposal for the Truman Scholarship," Rose-Mockry said.

Weller will be interviewed March 7 in Kansas City, Mo., along with other finalists from Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. A total of 212 finalists from 144 institutions are competing for the 75 to 80 scholarships.

MESILLA PARK, N.M. — More than 100 cats and the frozen carcasses of 82 others were removed from the home of a woman living alone in a four-bedroom house, authorities said.
Las Cruces police went to the home in southern New Mexico on Tuesday after receiving reports of foul odors, Lt. Juan Moreno said.
Inside a kitchen freezer, officers found 82 frozen cats — each inside a one-gallon freezer bag bearing a brief description and date. Moreno said.
The woman, 46, was taken to Memorial Medical Center for examination and was later released.

Coca-Cola wants no part in raunchy rivalry ads
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
ONE GAME. ONE EXTINCTION.
Brandon Baker/Kansan
Students shake newspaper posters at the Wednesday night Kansas-Colorado basketball game. KU students have traditionally rattled newspapers while the visiting starting lineup is introduced.
Students have always loved fueling rivalries between different schools, but Coca-Cola is not interested in participating.
After a Missouri fan complained to Chancellor Robert Hemenway that the "Muck Fizzou" T-shirts were offensive, Coke wanted to make sure its logo was not associated with anything offensive in Allen Fieldhouse. But the "Screw Mizzou" poster pullout that appeared in The University Daily Kansan for the Feb. 3 Missouri-Kansas game, with Coke's logo on the bottom, ran too high a risk of offending Coke's large customer base.
The Kansan has run a poster series throughout the semester for students to take to KU home basketball games. Students rattle the newspaper posters while the visiting team is introduced before the game starts.
David Johnston, marketing coordinator for KU Memorial Unions and Coke promotions committee member, said Coke evaluated whether it wanted to be connected with the KU rivalry between visiting schools.
Taking into consideration its broad customer base, Coke decided it did not want its logo associated with the negative message the posters directed at other schools, Johnston said.
Ellen Wood, KU Coke representative, said Coke would only comment through public information officers who could not be reached.
Because the Kansan is a newspaper for the students, Johnston said he understood that most of the readers liked the posters. But Coke markets to a broad audience and feared there was a high probability that the posters would offend someone, Johnston said. If Coke had kept its logo on the posters, Coke might have tried to tone down the negative message of posters, Johnston said.
"Coke does not, in anyway, want to offend students," Johnston said. "We don't want to try and censor the Kansan or control content, so it is for the best that Coke has removed their logo."
Paul Vander Tuig, licensing administrator, said at the Coke promotions committee meeting Feb. 5 that Coke might want to consider removing its logo from the posters. Johnston said. Coke decided it didn't want to sponsor the posters because it did not want to be associated with the negative message they can give. Johnston said. Although Coke removed its logo from the poster, the removal will not affect the strong relationship between the Kansan and Coca-Cola, said
Matt Fisher, marketing and sales adviser of the Kansan.
Richard Konzem, senior associate athletics director, said he always heard complaints about offensive behavior at the Fieldhouse.
"I am really disappointed in the
poster," Konzem said. "That is not the image we want to portray. We want to promote Kansas and the Jayhawks. Our basketball program is not about running down other schools."
Missouri-Columbia said students will always want to carry on traditional rivalries. Although it was not what the athletics department at any school wanted to see, what students say and do cannot be controlled, he said.
Mario Moccia of University of
Someone is always bound to be offended by something, said Moccia, senior associate athletics director at MU.
"Someone will always be offended. It's like asking what your favorite color is." Moccia said. "I hope people that go to college basketball games don't think that the posters and T-shirts that students wear represent the whole university. That's really overgeneralizing."
Eric Kelting, business manager of the Kansan, said the posters pushed the envelope, but there was always a chance that someone would be offended.
"People get a little too sensitive," Kelting said. "It's just college basketball. It's just a rivalry."
Ketting also said he was pleased because Coke or the Kansan did not leave the issue angry.
"I'm happy that Coke did not walk away upset," Kelting said.
Bob Houchin, MU senior and business manager for The Maneater, said he would have run the posters, but only if they did not have a sponsor. When asked about the rivalry and "Screw Mizzou" posters, Houchin said he was not offended by them.
"The Kansan and The Maneater are for students," Houchin said. "Rivalry is a great thing and I think it is all in fun."

Group to attend conference
By Henry C. Jackson

The University of Kansas men's basketball team is not the only KU group headed to Norman, Okla., this weekend.
Norman is the site of this year's Big 12 conference on black student leadership, a three-day event designed to build leadership and communication skills among African Americans on college campuses.
Members of KU'S Black Student Union said they were looking forward to this year's conference.
"I think it's great because it's a time for us to be able to network with other black student unions and black leadership organizations, not only in the Big 12, but from colleges throughout the United States," said C'nea Hatches, the organization's vice president.
Hatches, Valparaiso, Ind.,
sophomore, said that in addition to delegations from each of the schools in the Big 12, African-American student leaders from as far away as Oregon and California have attended past leadership conferences. She said she expected representatives from all over the country this year.
Anthony Daniels, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the conference presented a chance for leaders to learn from each other.
"It's a leadership opportunity. They have an opportunity to talk about policy issues and issues that directly affect the leadership on their campuses," he said. "If something is working on one campus, it's something that might work on another campus. It can really help benefit other schools."
In past years, speakers at Big 12 leadership conferences have included Black Entertainment Television talk show host Ed Gordon and former Real World cast member and journalist Kevin Powell. This year's guests include awardwinning talk show host Beatrice Berry and author George Fraser, whose books focus on networking among African-Americans and other race issues. During the weekend, a variety of workshops will be held in areas such as being a better leader as an African American.
Although the majority of Black Student Union's members will be making the trip to Norman, not all of the organization's KU chapter will be able to enjoy this weekend's conference. Some, like Kristin Lambert, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said they could not afford the trip to Norman.
"I've gotten a lot of calls from people going saying, 'Why aren't you coming?'"" she said. "I'll do it next year. It costs a lot of money to go."

The University of Kansas Medical Center is experiencing growing pains, which is a good thing, as record-high numbers call for an expansion.
In the 2002 fiscal year, the Med Center reported record-high patient numbers. It saw a 17 percent increase in inpatient discharges, 21 percent increase in outpatient visits, 30 percent increase in emergency department visits and 10 percent increase in surgery procedures.
The rise in patients assures the Med Center it is operating the way it should be, said Jon Jackson, senior vice president for the Med Center.
"It's recognition by the community that we are doing something right," he said. "Patient
satisfaction is tremendously higher than it used to be."
Because of the record-high number of patients, the Med Center is adding a sixth floor and expanding the Cancer Center, Jackson said.
The sixth-floor addition project will add more than 80,000 square feet to the hospital, he said. It will include a 22-bed medical surgery unit and a 14-bed medical intensive care unit.
The Med Center is also doubling its Cancer Center to accommodate the increase in patients, he said.
The increase enables the Med Center to provide a good clinical experience for students at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, Jackson said. Although the Med Center is independent of the Med School, the Med Center still takes the job of giving students a good hospital
experience seriously,he said
The increase in patient volume has also brought financial success to the Med Center, said Dennis McCulloch, representative for the Med Center.
Its total assets increased by 7 percent, total operating revenues by 29 percent and operating income by 6 percent.
"It enables us to pay off some of these things we're doing." he said.
These increases will help the Med Center invest in new facilities and programs, Jackson said.
The money will also go toward continuing to strengthen the Med Center's relationship with the Med School, McCulloch said.
"In turn, it will help the hospital support the education and research mission of the school," he said.

OPINION
FRIDAY,FEBRUARY 21,2003
EDITORIAL BOARD
Athletic stipends only help top teams
The proponents of the stipends also fail to acknowledge the benefits that athletes are already receiving. A college education is not cheap. A four-year education at a Division I school can cost up to $120,000. For an underprivileged student, athletics are often his ticket to a college education and a promising career. A scholarship also includes room and board expenses, which typically costs between $4,000 and $10,000 per year depending on the university.
Nebraska Gov. Mike Johanns has proposed legislation that would require the University of Nebraska to pay football players a $100 monthly stipend. The legislation comes as a result of accusations that major college athletics programs are exploiting athletes.
Furthermore, the possibility of paying players provides additional competitive advantages to schools with large athletic budgets. Football is typically the most vital money-maker in college athletics. Nebraska, fueled by its football team, has an athletic budget of $39 million per year, while KU's budget is only $23 million. With a $39 million budget, it is no surprise that the call to pay players comes from Husker territory rather than from a state with more modest athletic spending. As Major League Baseball has proven, money wins championships. College sports doesn't need its own version of the New York Yankees.
This argument is based on several fallacies, one being that universities are generating enormous profits from athletic programs without any reciprocation for the student athletes. According to the NCAA, less than 10 percent of college athletics programs are able to generate enough revenue through ticket sales and television to break even on expenses. The remainder of the cost is subsidized by student fees and state aide. Thus the stipends would not come out of profits but rather would be paid by students or state governments.
Paying college athletes is unnecessary and impractical. College athletes are already properly compensated and efforts to pay them merely attempts to further exert the dominance of perennial powerhouses such as Nebraska.
Title IX, which requires equal opportunities for female athletes, provides another barrier for the payment of student athletes If a university were to pay football or men's basketball players (who typically generate the most revenue), they would also be required to pay female athletes. Nebraska has more than 100 football players on its roster. The university would be required to pay female athletes from several unprofitable sports simply to comply with Title IX

REALITY CHECK

PERSPECTIVE
COMMENTARY
Creationists are evolving. "Intelligent design," the contention that life on earth is the intentional product of a higher power rather than the result of naturalistic laws, is one of creationism's latest adaptations.
Rachel Robson opinion@kansan.com
Scientists like me ignore intelligent-design attacks on our work at our peril.
Intelligent-design philosophers argue that evolution fails to account for the intricacy and complexity of living things. They assert that evolutionary biology is blinded by its naturalistic view of the universe: Like all who rely on the scientific method to learn about our world, biologists study material causes and effects, and not supernatural ones. if it weren't for biologists' closed-mindedness, intelligent design fans allege, there would be scads of research supporting their theology. Occam's Razor is the principle in which all other things being equal—the simplest explanation for something is the best. Inverting this axiom, partisans of intelligent design see the lack of scientific support for their position as evidence of a vast conspiracy against them, and not as an indication that evidence to bolster their claims does not, in fact, exist.
There is no physical evidence that life on Earth was consciously designed by God, according to University of Kansas Medical Center biochemist Mark Fisher. He said such a proposition wasn't even scientific.
But plenty of evidence shows that the intelligent design movement was consciously designed by creationists seeking to destroy a science they saw as sinful.
"You can't observe it, and you can't test it," he said.
This strategy, which has been phenomenally successful, was outlined in Barbara Forrest's 2001 essay, "The Wedge at Work: How intelligent design creationism is wedging its way into the cultural and academic mainstream."
lowing a nasty divorce. A dozen years ago, Johnson conceived a strategy that would imbue creationism with an aura of scientific rigor. By convincing the public that there was a scientific debate about humanity's origins, Johnson and his groupies could pretend that evolution failed on rational, rather than religious, grounds. The credulous public would then be likely to approve the teaching of Johnson and company's theology in public schools, which otherwise would be protected by the constitutional separation of church and state.
Intelligent design was the brainchild of Philip Johnson, an attorney who converted to fundamentalist Christianity fol-
In 1999, the intelligent design strategy was successful in helping to convince the Kansas Board of Education to "deemphasize" evolution in its science standards. One election and many jokes at our state's expense later, our board of education was again dominated by pro-science representatives. But after last fall's election, the board is again split evenly between pro- and anti-evolution members. Intelligent design supporters have already lobbied Kansas school board members to support their cause, when science standards are revised again
in two years.
Scientists in Kansas cannot wait two years to begin fighting this inevitable battle. As Johnson noted in an address to a National Religious Broadcasters meeting three years ago, an offensive strategy is much more effective than a defensive one. That's why his intelligent-design assaults on science have worked so well.
"Scientists have been above the fray, because it doesn't get you anywhere," said Steve Shawl, KU physicist.
Shawl entered the fray, in a small way, by adding his name to a list of 225 scientists named "Steve" who support evolution. That list, a mockery of an alleged list of 100 scientists who reject evolution distributed by intelligent-design supporters, was unveiled on the National Center for Science Education Web site Monday.
But scientists have been loathe to pursue an offensive strategy against creationists, or even to vigorously mount a defensive one.
Kansas scientists shouldn't forfeit the fight over evolution to religious zealots. By waiting for a new round of attacks against which we must defend ourselves, that's what we do. Scientists, take a cue from the creationists and develop your offense.
Shawl is correct in thinking that debating creationists about evolution will do little to convince creationists. But it will do a lot to convince the public. Scientists, by staying above the fray and refusing to engage creationists, let creationists win the public debate by default.
If creationists can adapt, so can we.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
bohl attack unjustified
Joey Berlin's hatchet job on Al Bohl (Kansan, Feb. 20) starts with the phrase "I've never had to deal with Al Bohl" before telling us all what a jerk the guy is. As someone who has actually had an interaction with Dr. Bohl, I found the column bordering on libel.
In my capacity as the coach of KU's Women's Lacrosse Club, I wrote to Bohl earlier this semester regarding an athletic facility problem we were having. Being affiliated with a club sport, I did not expect much to come of my letter (dealing with the gripes of club sports is not in Bohl's job description), but I did want to make my opinion clear. The very same day the letter was dropped off at his office he attempted to reach me by phone. We had a very pleasant conversation, and he directed me to other staff members of the Athletics Department I should speak to. No one could believe that an athletic director would take the time to follow up in person, let alone during the weekend. Some jerk, huh? The fact that I am writing this letter in his
defense, considering that my original letter was from a disgruntled coach who was quite ready to dislike him, should make clear that I think the athletic director is both professional and personable, contrary to Mr. Berlin's assumption of what "everyone says about Bohl."
If Dr. Bohl's secretary gets a thank you card from Joey Berlin for deflecting him away from interviewing Dr. Bohl, I think she should get a second thank you card from her boss.
Ridiculous anti-Americanism
Dave Wiley, women's lacrosse coach
After reading Matthew Dunavan's column "U.S. plan to attack Iraq opposes basic principles of democracy," (Kansan, Feb. 17, 2003), there are a few observations I'd like to make. First, Dunavan says that "only a handful of nations are willing to voice support for a U.S. plan to attack Iraq." I was wondering if he was aware that, according to CNN, a total of 34, yes 34, nations have voiced military or at least
moral support for such a war. True, public opinion in most of those countries is against the United States, but so what. I'm not sure that Dunavan realizes the United States does not bow down to the public opinion of the rest of the world. The United States is a sovereign nation and the people of the United Staes are in overwhelming support of our president.
Dunavan goes on to state that the "supposed difference" between the United States and the axis of evil states is the fact that we are naturally right. "Supposed difference?" Of course the difference is that the United States is right. That kind of anti-Americanism is preposterous. I have a suggestion to Dunavan, go live in Iraq for a couple of years and tell us if you still think there is a moral equivalence between them and us. The United States is not a dictatorship and George W. Bush is not a dictator, no matter how you try to spin it. Dunavan's notion that Bush and Saddam Hussein are one and the same is ludicrous.

using to provide new options
By Jessica Palmenio

The changes to the 2003-2004 housing contracts include two new living options in Ellsworth Hall, reorganized meal plans and increases in the cost of other living options.
Last year, Ellsworth was closed because of renovations. Next fall when Ellsworth opens, it will contain both two-person studios and double-occupancy rooms as well as the two- and four-person suites that are available in Templin and Lewis halls.
The new living options are similar to the original rooms that were in Ellsworth, but the double-
occupancy rooms will have sinks and the studios will be about twice the size, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
When completed, the hall will have 19 studios, 29 two-person suites, 66 four-person suites and 102 double-occupancy rooms.
Students who live in other halls will see an increase in the cost of student housing. The price increases range from $66 to $124, depending on the desired living arrangement. For example, a four-person suite in Lewis costs $3,198 this year and will cost $3,310 next year.
Stoner said this was due to a rise in the cost of utilities and operations.
of food or gas," Stoner said.
Hesaid a student housing advisory board met last fall and recommended rates for housing based on the cost operation.
Mindy Dormagen. Olathe freshman and Lewis resident, is planning to return to Lewis next year. The $112 increase in Lewis' cost was not important to Dormagen.
"It might be a big deal to my dad when he finds out, but it's not a big deal to me." Dormagen said.
When completing the housing contract to live in a residence hall, students are required to choose a meal plan. Next year the meal plans will be reorganized to include seven, 13 or 19 meals per week, instead of the five, 10, 15 or 19 meals a week in this year's housing contract. Housing made the change to accommodate students needs.
"Hardly anyone was on the five-meal plan, so the advisory board had a discussion on how they were used," Stoner said.
Dormagen is currently on the five-meal plan and said the increased cost of moving to a seven-meal plan was more of an increase than she would like.
"The reason my parents let me live in Lewis is because it was cheaper with a five-meal plan here than the 10-meal plan required in Oliver," Dormagen said.
Housing contracts are sent out on a rolling basis and are due two to three weeks after they are received.

PORN?
Jegen McDermott/Kansan
Adam Steele, Roswell, Ga., junior, adds his thoughts on porn. The billboard, titled, "What do you think about porn?", was set up yesterday on Wescoe Beach for students to sign.
'Power of Porn' not what some may think
Although fliers around campus depict scantily clad women, students might be interested to know Tuesday's "Power of Porn" presentation doesn't actually contain any pornographic images.
"The Power of Porn," which begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday at room 120 in Budig Hall, is sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, or CRU, as it is identified on the filers.
"They put the sponsor at the bottom of the ad in fine print," Mark Lyda, Denver sophomore, said. "And they use an acronym that no one knows."
Meredith Phipps, coordinator for the event, said her organization. CRU, was not trying to be tricky. The event is also sponsored by Student Senate, Phipps said, but the sponsorship was not determined until after the posters were printed.
"We're trying hard not to make anyone feel lured or baited," Phipps said.

Phipps said CRU didn't focus on the negative impact of pornography in its ads because it wanted students to keep an open mind. The presentation will feature images taken from mainstream media, she said.
Gene McConnell, a former pastor and "sexaddict," organized the "Power of Porn" presentation seven years ago. McConnell said the ads were intentionally directed at two types of students.
"Because of the fliers, some people think it's going to be a pornography show," he said. "Others think we're going to do the conservative, anti-porn, shame-on-you kind of talk. The whole purpose is to get a variety of opinions in the discussion."
McConnell is joined by Kimberly Drake, a former exotic dancer and model, who will speak about the negative effects of beauty and sexuality in culture.
The follow-up session, which begins at 8:30 p.m., is sponsored only by CRU and will focus on God's role in McConnell's and Drake's lives.
The presentation generally draws at least 1,000 people. McConnell said. He said he had spoken to more than 40,000
Lyda said he was interested until he found out the details.
Instructors adapt science curriculum to teach nonmajors
people about his experiences in the last seven years.
"If they're not going to show any actual porn," Lyda said, "count me out."

Eric Ahlander is a theater and film major at the University of Kansas. Besides the basic requirements needed for his degree in theater, Ahlander had to take a physical science and ecology course in order to graduate.
"It's good to know it, but as far as being a theater and film major I don't really think you need them." Ahlander said.
Ahlander is one of many nonscience majors who must take science and math courses to graduate.
The science requirements for the bachelor of arts and bachelor of general studies degrees have been effective since the 1987 fall semester, said Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"Starting in the fall of '87 we started to specify a diversity of science because students who are pursuing a liberal arts degree need to experience the breadth of the college." Houston said.
College faculty are in the preliminary stages of a planned review of the graduation requirements for the school.
Paulyn Cartwright, instructor of Biology 100, said she understood that a majority of students in her class were nonscience majors. She tries to pick topics that interest students, such as human diseases and cloning.
"I think they come in initially with a fear or dislike of science," Cartwright said. "I try to make it more appealing to them and I talk about things that affect their lives."
She said basic science classes
even for nonmajors, are essential because it helped when making daily decisions.
"For example, if you decide you want to eat genetically engineered foods, science helps you know what genetically engineered foods are so you can be knowledgeable when making those choices," Cartwright said.
Joe Heppert, director of the science education foundation, said for the last 50 years, the University has had one of the best programs in the world when it came to science, technology, math and engineering. KU faculty understand the nature of science is changing and they are constantly adapting their programs, he said.
"It's because we always strive to do better," Heppert said. "We must never rest on our laurels. We always need to consider how we can improve."
A committee in the chemistry department is currently evaluating the material in its introductory chemistry courses. Heppert said this process occurs every 10 years.
"We're talking about what we ought to be adding and taking out of that mix." Heppert said.
Basic science courses for nonscience majors are essential because every citizen should be able to hold a dialogue on science issues, Heppert said. Basic science classes are often the last opportunity for students to become informed.
"There is a certain pressure to say if we neglect to cover evolution or chemical reactions then students may never get the opportunity to see that part of the discipline again," Heppert said.

Professorfaces charges
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — A Palestinian college professor previously accused of having terrorist ties was arrested early yesterday by federal agents. He was one of several people arrested here, in Chicago and overseas, the FBI said.
Television reports showed Sami Al-Arian being led in handcuffs to FBI headquarters in Tampa after the arrest. His indictment is sealed until a court hearing scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
"It's all about politics," AlArian told reporters as agents led him inside.
FBI spokeswoman Sara Oates said that three people were arrested in Tampa, one person was in custody in Chicago, and an undisclosed number of people were arrested overseas. She identified the other two arrested in Tampa as Sameeh Hammoudeh, 42, of Tampa, and Hatim Naji Fariz, 30, of Spring Hill, but she had no detail on those arrested
elsewhere.
Randall Samborn, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago, declined to comment, and the FBI there did not immediately return a phone call.
in Tampa, U.S. attorney's office spokesman Steve Cole said that Attorney General John Ashcroft would be holding an afternoon news conference in Washington with Paul Perez, U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Florida. He said that the arrests were related, but would not elaborate.
Al-Arian's criminal attorney. Nicholas Matassini, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
Perez's office had said last year that Al-Arian was under federal investigation.
"This was disconcerting but not surprising." USF spokesman Michael Reich said about the arrest. He said university President Judy Genshaft will meet with the school's lawyers Thursday to discuss it.
The tenured computer engineering professor was placed on forced leave and banned from campus shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and his subsequent appearance on Fox News Channel. The school also is trying to dismiss him.
He was quizzed about links to known terrorists, and asked about tapes from the late 1980s and early 1990s in which he said "Death to Israel" in Arabic.
Al-Arian has said he has never advocated violence against others and his words were a statement against Israeli occupation. He also has consistently denied any connection to terrorists.
The university says that hurt the school's fund-raising efforts and resulted in threats being made against the school.
The university also claimed the professor raised money for terrorist groups, brought terrorists into the United States, and founded organizations that support terrorism
In wake of stampede, Chicago seeks to punish club owner
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The city wants to permanently shut down a nightclub where 21 people died in a stampede and prevent its owner from doing business in Chicago.
City Corporation Counsel Mara Georges on Wednesday initiated administrative proceedings to revoke the food, liquor and other licenses that allowed Le Mirage Studio Ltd., which owns the Epitome restaurant and second-floor E2 nightclub, to keep the businesses open.
Georges also wants to bar the president of Le Mirage, Dwain J. Kyles, from holding any other city license.
"There has been enough of a flagrant disregard here to warrant the fact that this gentleman should not hold another license within the city," Georges said.
On Tuesday, the city asked that the club's landlord, Le Mirage and Kyles, be found in criminal contempt for defying an order last summer to stop using the second
floor because of housing code violations. A hearing was set for March 7.
Afterward, Kyles spoke of the sorrow that he felt for the families, but did not publicly comment.
Kyles is a prominent member of Chicago's black community. His father, the Rev. Billy Kyles of Memphis, and civil rights leader Jesse Jackson are longtime friends. Jackson and Kyles' father were with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968 when King was murdered.
French-bashing increases in U.S.
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Mon dieu, how some Americans are bashing the French these days!
Americans galled by France's reluctance to endorse an invasion of Iraq are boycoting French wine and french fries and trading jokes and insults about all things Gallic.
A Las Vegas radio station Tuesday used an armored vehicle to crush photographs of French President Jacques Chirac, photocopies of the French flag, a Paris travel guide, bottles of wine and a loaf of French bread.
In Beaufort, N.C., one restaurant owner took french fries off his menu and replaced them with "freedom fries."
In West Palm Beach, Fla., bar owner Ken Wagner dumped his entire stock of French wine and champagne into the street, vowing to serve vintages only from nations that support U.S. policy.
And Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aurenson said he would try to block a subsidiary of the French conglomerate Vivendi from getting a $25 million government contract to build a sludge treatment plant.
"France's attitude toward the United States is deplorable. I don't want to have any French companies earning dollars from American interests," the 75-year-old Aaronson said. "We've left thousands of our men and women over in France, underground. It's quite possible that if we didn't send our troops there, the French people would all be speaking German."
"The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in
Iraq."
Dennis Miller
Comedian
France is far from alone in pushing for a delay in military action. Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Greece, Ireland and Luxembourg have all said they would prefer to give U.N. weapons inspections more time.
But it is the French who have borne the brunt of U.S. scorn and become the butt of jokes about their beret-wearing, wine-drinking, cheese-eating, Jerry Lewis-loving, literature-deconstructing, surrendering-to-the-Germans ways.
"France wants more evidence," David Letterman wisecracked. "The last time France wanted more evidence, it rolled right through France with a German flag."
Comedian Dennis Miller quipped: "The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq."
Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., warmed up a crowd of GOP leaders in Missouri last week by saying, "Do you know how many Frenchmen it takes to defend Paris? It's not known, it's never been tried.
"Somebody was telling me about the French Army rifle that was being advertised on eBay the other day — the description was, 'Never shot. Dropped once.'"

Coffee consumption linked to stilbirth
The Associated Press
LONDON—Pregnant women who drink eight or more cups of coffee a day could double their risk of stillbirth compared with pregnant women who do not drink coffee, new research suggests.
However, experts cautioned that the findings, published this week in the British Medical Journal, were tenuous and several factors other than coffee could explain the results.
Previous studies have linked the consumption of more than three or four cups of coffee a day with miscarriage and low birth weight.
"Women should not be worried because this study has serious limitations," said Lisa Signorello, an epidemiologist at the International Epidemiology Institute in Rockville, Md., and an assistant professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.
Stillbirths are rare, occurring in
less than 1 percent of pregnancies. The findings in this Danish study are based on 11 stillbirths among 950 women drinking eight or more cups of coffee a day, and scientists do not like to draw firm conclusions from numbers that low.
The study, conducted by scientists at Aarhus University, involved 18,478 pregnant women attending the obstetrics department at the university hospital between 1989 and 1996.
One in 250 pregnancies ended in stillbirth among women who drank no coffee during their pregnancy.
But three in 250 pregnancies ended in stillbirth among the 950 women who drank more than eight cups daily. That is a tripling of the risk.
However, that risk dropped to double when researchers accounted for the women's smoking and drinking habits, age, and other factors known to influence pregnancy success.
There was no increased chance
of stillbirth among the pregnant women drinking less than eight cups of coffee a day.
"Women who have such a high intake of coffee also come with a set of other characteristics — like they are more likely to smoke, they have a higher intake of alcohol, they are older, they've had more pregnancies, they've had fewer years of education," Signorello said.
"All of these things have been shown to be risk factors for pregnancy problems."
The study's authors acknowledge their results may not prove a real coffee effect and say further research is needed.
Another caveat is that coffee intake was measured only once at 16 weeks of pregnancy and coffee consumption is known to change during pregnancy.
Alan Leviton, a professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital in Boston, said there could be another explanation — something called the pregnancy signal theory.
It seems they become averse to the smell.
"All the recent studies show that women tend to reduce their coffee consumption about four to six weeks into pregnancy, even if they weren't planning to. All of a sudden, they don't want as much coffee." Leviton said.
"This is associated with elevated hormones, or signals, that the placenta is making. The inference is that the healthier the placenta, the stronger the pregnancy signal." Leviton said.
"The woman who does not have a good implantation of her placenta doesn't make as many hormones, which puts her at risk of pregnancy problems such as stillbirth."
The pregnancy signal theory would contend that the ability to consume as much coffee as before pregnancy is an indication that the pregnancy already is not going well.
Crews search for crash survivors in Iran
The Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — Strong wind, fog and rain forced authorities to call off efforts late yesterday to recover the remains of 302 elite troops killed in Iran's deadliest plane crash.
The soldiers were on their way from Zahedan, on the Pakistani border, to Kerman, about 500 miles southeast of Tehran, when their military transport plane crashed Wednesday in the Sirach Mountains.
The crash took place amid bad weather about 20 miles from the plane's destination. The Russian-
made Ilyushin failed to clear the top of a peak by about 330 feet, said Ali Jafari, an officer in charge of recovery operations.
Rescue workers have ruled out any survivors.
All aboard —18 crew members and 284 passengers —were members of the Revolutionary Guards, an elite group under the direct control of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The guards protect Iran's borders and defend ruling hard-liners in this ultra-conservative society.
A senior official in Zahedan told The Associated Press that several of the victims were senior officers. Another official said the forces had gone to Zahedan to prepare for the visit of Khamenei, who was scheduled to tour the city today. It was not clear whether that visit would take place.
Revolutionary Guards have encircled the crash site, preventing people from approaching and restricting journalists.
Jafari told AP that bulldozers have cleared roads to the scene and more than 600 people were searching for remains. Earlier yesterday, recovery teams located some mutilated bodies but were unable to get to them because of fog, rain and strong wind.
Two helicopters that tried to reach the crash site flew back to Kerman because of bad weather, said Jafari, a local Revolutionary Guard commander.
The weather also was slowing down crews on the ground, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Still, it said, search teams managed to find parts of the plane, including a wing.
Air traffic controllers said the pilot had radioed about bad weather and strong winds before losing contact. Tehran television reported. There was heavy snow in many parts of Iran on Wednesday.
Iraq allows flight by American plane
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq allowed another flight by an American U-2 spy plane yesterday as President Saddam Hussein's government sought to convince the world that it is cooperating with U.N. weapons inspectors.
In New York, a U.N. spokesman said Baghdad had also submitted a list of people reportedly involved in the destruction of banned weapons - fulfilling a key demand by chief weapons inspector Hans Blix.
It was the second flight this week by a U-2 in support of the U.N. inspection program. The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said the plane spent six hours and 20 minutes over Iraq's territory, searching for evidence of banned weapons.
Iraq allowed the first U-2 flight Monday after resisting such flights since the inspection program resumed in November. Iraq had insisted that U.S. and British planes suspend patrols in the "no-fly" zones during U-2 missions but relented as pressure mounted on Baghdad to display more cooperation with the inspection program.
The United States and Britain have disputed Iraq's claims that it no longer holds weapons of mass destruction or longrange missiles, which were banned under a U.N. resolution approved after Baghdad's defeat in the 1991 Gulf War.
President Bush has threatened military action to disarm the Iraqis. The United States
and Britain have massed nearly 200,000 troops in the region to reinforce that warning, despite widespread international opposition to war.
The United States and Britain plan to offer a new Iraq-war resolution to the Security Council next week, a senior Bush administration official said. But they currently lack the nine votes for approval.
With pressure mounting, Iraq has complied with a longstanding U.N. demand and turned over the names of people who took part in the destruction of banned material from its biological and missile programs, a U.N. spokesman said yesterday.
Iraq had already submitted a list of 83 people who it said took part in the destruction of banned chemical weapons and materials.
"Since then, the Iraqis have provided lists of individuals involved in unilateral destruction of biological and missile items in the early 1990s."
Iraq has claimed to have destroyed chemical and biological weapons as well as long-range missiles but lacks documents to prove it. Blix had said that if the documents are unavailable, the inspectors want to talk to people who carried out the destruction.
With the threat of war hanging over the country, President Saddam Hussein met yesterday with top aides and military commanders to discuss the preparations of armed forces and of the Iraqi people to confront the U.S. threats of aggression, the Iraqi News Agency reported.

said.
"There aren't deadlines or a set class time so I can work at my own pace," she said. "I can log on at 3 in the morning if I want to. It works better with a busy schedule."
David Dewer, senior instructor of humanities and western civilization, said discussion was an important aspect of the western civilization course and it was hard to replicate online.
"Distance learning is an oxymoron," he said.
Dewer said students may flock to juco western civilization classes because they thought the University's course was excessively difficult. But the comments Dewer has heard have been to the contrary. Students have told him
"Many students feel the course moves too quickly and is very difficult, and perhaps it is due to the misconception that a junior college is easy."

"It's an urban legend. We're not here to make the world's hardest curriculum," he said. "Teachers are here to help students, work through the problems and make it a more valuable experience."
Heidi Lockwood, adjunct
assistant professor of Spanish at JCCC, said about 25 percent of her students attend the University, and many tell her that they thought the class would be easier than it was.
"Many students feel the course moves too quickly and is very difficult, and perhaps it is due to the misconception that a junior college is easy," she said. "What you are expected to know at the end is every bit as challenging as any college level Spanish course."
Lockwood said one problem KU students face at JCCC is that they tend to miss more classes than local Johnson County students because of travel.
"I've had many KU students have conflicts that cause them to have to miss a class — anything from meetings to study groups to concerts," she said. "I understand when a student has a genuine overlap."

While the basic principle behind enrollment will remain the same, the process will be different, said Emily Hutchins, a member of a committee promoting the online enrollment system. The online enrollment system will know if a student is eligible to enroll in a class and eliminate the paperwork needed for enrollment, such as instructor permission cards, dean stamps and advisor signatures.
Another feature of the system will provide the student with all the available options if the student tries to enroll in a closed class, said Hutchins.
Lopez said the University went to great lengths to make sure the system would have no flaws and that no problems would occur once students start enrolling. The office's focus now is informing students, she said.
"We're trying to get the word out to students that online enrollment is here," she said. "This system fits into the busy
student's schedule."

Another one of Robert Billing's greatest accomplishments, his brother said, was the development of West Lawrence. Alongside John McGrew and Mel Anderson, Billings developed more than 3,000 acres of residential and commercial property, which included a public golf course and the Alvamar Country Club. He named the development Alvamar after his parents, Alva and Margaretta Billings. He also developed Oread West
McGrew's friendship with Billings dates back to 1958, when they met at the University.
"Bob started out with developing 600 acres in Lawrence, and he ended up with 3,000 acres." Richard Billings said.
Billings' compassion astounded McGrew, he said.
"Bob was so accessible to everyone that needed his help," McGrew said. "A person's economic or social status meant nothing to him. He raised the bar for anyone that knew him."
Billings' generosity toward the University continues to grow Billings, his wife, Beverly.
his brother and his sister-in-law all contributed money to cover the cost of a large Kansas map that will be displayed in the new Dole Institute that is scheduled to be completed this July. The map will serve as a tribute to Alva and Margaretta Billings.

"He lived his life in a way that we all would want the KU community to be represented," Hemenway said. "His legacy at KU extends beyond the University to the community as a whole."

Al Bohl deserves respect for work
Give Al Bohl a break. During the last two weeks the Kansas athletic director has run the gamut of reckless speculation and rampant finger-pointing. Continued allegations of mispropriety at his former position at Fresno State University have everyone in a 50-mile radius of Lawrence offering to stake Mr. Bohl's plane tickets back to California.
Lawrence must look a lot like Salem to him now, right up to the accusing flames licking at his feet. Don't get caught up in the witch-hunt just yet, though.
True, members of the Fresno State basketball team did accept cash and other gifts from agents during Bohl's tenure, but this does not make him guilty. Don't forget the coach of that team was and still is Jerry Tarkanian. Make no mistake: the reason Al Bohl is on the outs is not because of the new revelations at his former job or even to ensure a clean legal future at of Kansas.
The reason is far more simple than that. Al Bohl is disliked by the biggest name in Kansas Athletics and that is why he will eventually be asked to leave.
It's no secret that Roy Williams would shed few tears if Bohl were to leave. The relationship between the two got off to a rocky start and has only gotten worse. Almost two years ago, former Kansas football coach Terry Allen was fired with three games left on the schedule, a controversial move that caught the ire of coach Williams.
"I loved his family, his children, everything about him." Williams said of Allen, his regular golfing buddy.
To make matter worse, Bohl replaced Bob Frederick, the man who hired Williams. Or to Williams, "the guy who gave me the chance."
Truth is, Al Bohl loves Kansas Athletics, probably too much. He attacks everything he does with the excitement of a child the day after Halloween and can talk your ear off on anything and everything. But his passion is as undeniable as his success.
Bohl brought in Rich Price, the man who resurrected the Kansas baseball team, took steps to rejuvenate Kansas football like he did in Fresno State and supported Marian Washington when she was on the chopping block after the team's dismal 2001-2002 season.
Oh yeah, and do you like tailgating with alcohol before football games? You have AI Bohl to thank for that.
The problem is that Bohl doesn't mesh with the team. He is out of place in the Kansas Athletic Department, he's too flamboyant for them. He loves the students—he'd give you his last dollar if you needed it—but he isn't professional enough for this university. He doesn't run things like they want him to. He's too off-the-cuff. Next thing you know, he'll be giving good seats in Allen Fieldhouse to students who camp out for weeks. The alumni might even have to stand at times to see the game.
Al Bohl has done a lot to improve the athletics at the University of Kansas. But undoubtedly, in a matter of weeks. Al Bohl will most likely resign from his post. Not because he was wrong, but because he knows it's better for both sides this way. Wave at him as he leaves Lawrence, he deserves your respect.

Top-ranked Big 12 teams to tangle; Sooners, Jayhawks test playing styles
Last season, Kansas blitzed the entire Big 12 Conference. Its undefeated conference season was a league record and removed any doubt about the identity of the Big 12's best team.
Now, Kansas is finding out that the difference between a one and a zero in the loss column can be the difference between coasting through a championship season and fighting for everything it gets.
Despite losing just one conference game, a 60-59 loss to Colorado, the No. 6 Jayhawks (20-5 overall, 10-1 conference) don't have to look too far behind them to find their closest competitor for the league title this season. In fact, they'll meet face to face when Kansas plays No. 5 Oklahoma (18-4, 9-2) Sunday.
Kansas senior forward Nick Collison is in the running for national player of the year and has been a rock for the Jayhawks, averaging 18.9 points per game and 8.9 reboundsp per game, but he told reporters nothing could be taken for granted when facing the Sooners.
"That's going to be a whole different ball game going into Oklahoma," he said.
Collison's prediction is understandable considering the two teams play two very different styles of basketball.

Bowl money helps Kansas
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Every time Oklahoma wins an NCAA football game to advance closer to the national championship. Kansas fans should belt out a chorus of "Boomer Sooner." Kansas benefits every time Oklahoma or any Big 12 team plays in a bowling game.
Susan Wachter, Kansas chief financial officer, said Kansas' revenue from the Big 12 Conference is divided into several categories. The categories include tournament money, football and basketball television money, bowl money and conference basketball money.
Wachter said Kansas earned $1,286,747 from the Big 12 in bowl money last year, despite not attending a bowl game.
Bo Carter, assistant commissioner of the Big 12, said the Big 12 made millions of dollars from bowl games and made between $20 million to $25 million this season.
"That money is put into a larger pool with post-season money from other
sports, spots and television contracts, and then divided up between the teams," Carter said.
This year's bowl teams included Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech. Texas A&M was bowel eligible, but not invited to a bowl.
The Rose Bowl) payout to the Big 12 for Oklahoma's victory in January will be between $11.8 million and $14.1 million.

After a week that brought the Kansas baseball team many accolades, the Jayhawks (9-3) will return to their home field to play a three-game series against the Eastern Michigan Eagles (2-4) starting today at Hoglund Ballpark.
After the team's three-game sweep of nationally ranked Louisiana State University, the Jayhawks received their first Top 25 national ranking since joining the Big 12 Conference, coming in at No. 21. Sophomore third baseman Travis Metcalf received the honor of National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association and Big 12 player of the week. Metcalf batted .588 with five extra base hits in last week's victories over Western Illinois and LSU. The Jayhawks were honored as the first College

Magic needs Gooden for playoffs
Former Jayhawk Drew Gooden is realizing what can happen in professional basketball.
One minute he was playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, the next he was traded to the Orlando Magic.
After forgoing his senior season and entering the NBA draft, Gooden was selected as the fourth overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 6-foot-10 forward is having a solid rookie season, averaging 12 points and five rebounds a game. However, Gooden was on a team that was in the Western Conference's cellar at 16-36 with low potential of reaching the playoffs.
FRIDAY,FEBRAURY 21,2003
A day before the trade deadline, the Magic sent forward-guard Mike Miller and forward Ryan Humphrey, as well as a first-round draft pick and a future second-round pick, to the Grizzlies in exchange for Gooden and guard Gordon Giriek with cash considerations.
This is good news for Gooden.
First of all, he will leave boring Memphis and head to sunny Florida with a team that has one of the most electrifying players in Tracy McGrady.
This is Gooden's opportunity. Miller was Orlando's second leading scorer and with the injury-plagued Grant Hill, Gooden will certainly get an opportunity to shine.
Forward Shawn Kemp is overweight and has violated the treatment for his cocaine habit, which takes him off the Magic lineup. Gooden has a chance to step up and start for the Magic, which is thin at the forward position. General manager John Gabriel said the trade helped the Magic address its needs.
This is a playoff team. Orlando is 26-29 on the season and eighth in the Eastern Conference's playoff spots. With McGrady, this team is hard to beat and needs Gooden's help to stay ahead of Michael Jordan and the East's Washington Wizards.
This is a good fit for Gooden.
Now Gooden can play his natural position at power forward. He can use his athletic ability to create scoring opportunities when teams double-up on McGrady.
Former Jayhawk Jacque Vaughn also plays for the Magic and has received quality-playing time at the point guard position. The two Kansas players should provide excitement for Jayhawk alumni
Gooden thinks he has the talent level to make solid contributions for Orlando.
"I'm a winner, I like to win, and it seems this team is doing good this season and hopefully we can do a little better," Gooden said.
With this trade, Gooden has the chance to make his NBA game shine in sunny Florida.

Media focus on Tyson's tattoo
The Associated Press
TUNICA, Miss. — Mike Tyson playfully nibbled on the arm of his baby boy who didn't seem all that interested in the new tattoo on his father's face. For those who were, a university instructor was on hand to explain the significance of the Maori warrior roots of the design on Tyson's face.
The atmosphere surrounding Tyson's fight with Clifford Etienne was already circuslike. The carnival officially opened for business yesterday at a news conference goofy even by Tyson's standards.
The former heavyweight champion played with his 9-month-old son, chatted amiably with the media and acted surprised that there was such a fuss about his tattoo.
Tyson, meanwhile, appeared to be heal ingrapidly from whatever alled him earlier in the week. He split the lip of a sparing partner before making a jovial appearance to promote a fight he desperately needs to rescue his floundering career.
Tyson was to get more than $5 million to fight Etienne — huge money unless you're Mike Tyson and used to purses that routinely top $20 million.
"I just wanted to put something on my face," Tyson said. "I didn't like the way my face was looking."
He got the tattoo last week but said he

Through much of the formal press conference. Tvson played with his son, Miguel.
"I want him to be a fighter so I want him to get accustomed to what's going on," Tyson said.
Tyson earned $20 million last year to take a beating from Lewis, but most of that went to pay debts. Now he must look good against Etienne to get a Lewis rematch.
"He made a mistake by picking me," Etienne said. "He should have gotten someone who doesn't pose a threat."

Death spurs ephedra examination
Log on to www.hansan.com to cast your vote.
The Associated Press
Under NFL rules, players who use ephedra are often treated more harshly than those who snort cocaine. The supplement is banned for Olympic and college athletes, too.
Not so in baseball, where players are allowed to use the supplement suspected in the death of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler and used by millions of Americans trying to lose weight.
The policy is under increased scrutiny, and baseball players are concerned about the use of the supplement.
Because ephedra is a supplement, it is not regulated by the FDA. Still, FDA Commissioner Mark McClelian said that resolving the controversy over ephedra's safety was a high priority.
Easily purchased over the counter at places like drug stores and gas stations, ephedra products increase metabolism to aid weight loss. Reports have linked the supplement to heart attacks, strokes, seizures and heatstroke.
The Food and Drug Administration has reports of at least 100 deaths linked to ephedra, an herbal supplement derived from the Asian ma huang plant.
Some players at spring training were forced to think about their own supplement use and its risks.
"It's a long haul and it makes your body feel a little bit better," Brewers closer Curtis Leskanie said.
First baseman Derrek Lee of the Marlins said players need to be better educated about supplements.
"You're talking about something the FDA can't regulate, so how can we?" said trainer Larry Davis of the Oakland As.
Others teams know there's only so much the teams can control.

Below Flaherty and Hwang bring your expectations for the game.
This is an intruiging matchup between two teams which are strong in the post. Baylor, while a bit shorter than Kansas, has two post players who are their two leading scorsers. Stephanie Blackmon leads the team in scoring with 17.2 points per game and is second in rebounding with 8.4 rebounds per game, while Sophia Young's 12.9 points per game is
second in scoring and her 9.6 rebounds lead the team. Crystal Kemp and Tamara Ransburg must step up to stop the post presence while creating scoring of their own. The matchup on the wing is winnable for Kansas, as Jayhawks Blair Waltz and Aquanita Burras are better than their Bears counterparts. If Kansas can get scoring from one or both of the wings and achieve a stalemate down low, the Jayhawks should walk off the court with their fourth Big 12 victory.

face the second worst scoring defense in the Big 12: the Jayhawks. In every conference victory this season, Kansas has made 18 or more free throws and had three or more players score in double figures. The Jayhawks must be more aggressive in the offensive end, draw fouls, and cash in at the free throw line. Freshman forward Crystal Kemp has averaged 18 points per game in the three conference victories.

ity of California Santa Barbara at 8 p.m. Saturday's schedule brings two teams down from Utah as Kansas will take on the University of Utah at 1:15 p.m. and then Brigham Young University at 3:50 p.m. The squad will close things out with San Diego State at 1:15 p.m. on Sunday.
Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo (8-9) comes off a 2-2 showing at the UNLV Tournament. For the Jayhawks to muffle the Mustangs, they will have to find a way to shutdown sophomore infielder Chelsy Stouler who leads the
Mustangs offensively with 21 hits, 15 RBIs and a .356 batting average. If Kansas can beat the Mustangs, coach Tracy Bunge would tally up her 200th victory as the Jayhawk skipper. She is 199-172 all-time at Kansas.
The hosting Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara from the Big West could be listed along with Kansas as clubs who have been on fire recently. Despite a 2-2 performance in the Campbell/Cartier Tournament in San Diego, the team has compiled an 11-4 record. The Hawks were originally scheduled to play the Gauchos in that tournament but were unable to after a schedule change because of rainy weather.
Utah (4-6) of the Mountain West Conference makes its way westward after a 2-3 effort in the UNLV Tournament.
Brigham Young (5-3), also from the Mountain West conference, has been on a tear as of late going 3-1 at the Texas A&M Tournament. Led by .455 batting average of junior outfielder Oli Keohouh, the team has an overall average of .270.
Kansas should be quite familiar with San Diego State (6-3) of the Mountain West by now. The Jayhawks and Aztecs got together in the second game of the Campbell/Cartier tourney, resulting in a 6-3 Kansas victory.
After the weekend, Kansas will travel from southern California to the heart of the Southeast as it makes its way to Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the Crimson Classic from Feb. 28 to March 2. The Classic is hosted by Alabama.

Tennis finally on the road after restful home stint
By Jonah Ballow
jballow@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The No. 47 Kansas tennis team has not packed its bags once since the spring season began. Four home matches have resulted in a 3-1 overall record and 0-1 Big 12 record.
Last weekend, the Jayhawks suffered a 0-7 defeat at the hands of No.15 Texas but bounced back to beat Utah 7-0.
Kansas will head to Albuquerque, N.M., for non-conference matches against the Denver Pioneers tomorrow and the New Mexico Lobos on Sunday.
"With our first traveling match, we should be fresh and ready to play,"coach Kilmeny
Waterman said.
The Pioneers started the season 3-1 but have dropped their last two matches. This marks the first time Kansas and Denver have met since 1982. Denver came away with the 5-4 victory. Sophomore Yanick Dullens leads the Pioneers with a 4-2 record at No.1 singles.
The Lobos stand at 2-2 with losses to Boise State and Washington State. Kansas has won four of the seven meetings against New Mexico, but the Lobos won the last meeting 7-2.
"We can get the wins if we stay focused and confident," sophomore Paige Brown said.

Track splits for two meets
The Kansas track and field team will split up tomorrow in a final tune up for next week's Big 12 Conference Indoor Championship.
Some of the men's and women's sprinters, hurdlers, distance runners and throwers will compete tomorrow at the KSU Open in Manhattan. The men's and women's vertical jumpers and horizontal jumpers will compete tomorrow at the Sooner Invitational in Norman, Okla.
Only the athletes who are in need of another practice meet will compete tomorrow, Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said.
Redwine said the meets were not originally on the schedule but were added earlier this week.
"In track, meets are added all the time, we just wanted to give some athletes an extra meet," Redwine said.
The athletes who have either qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships or are close to qualifying will not compete this weekend. Redwine said those athletes would rest this weekend because they still had two more opportunities to qualify with next week's Big 12 Championship and the Iowa State Invitational on March 8.
One athlete who will have the weekend off is junior sprinter Leo Bookman. Last week at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., Bookman broke his own school record in the 200-meter dash. With his time of 20.77 seconds, he was the first Jayhawk to automatically qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championship this year.
In addition to Bookman, senior Anson Jackson provisionally qualified in the 60-meter hurdles with his time of 7.89 seconds last week at the Tyson Invitational.
Sophomore Sondra Rauterkus provisionally qualified in the high jump earlier in the season with her leap of 5-10 at the KSU Invitational.
"We approach every meet with the goal of qualifying as many athletes as possible for the NCAAs," Redwine said.
Redwine said he hoped these extra meets would allow some athletes another chance to qualify.
The Kansas men's team is 5-3 overall and 2-2 in conference, and the Kansas women are 4-1 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 competitions.

Former Syracuse teammates get franchise tags in NFL
Former Syracuse University teammates Tebucky Jones and Donovin Darius were designated franchise players by their NFL teams Thursday as a hedge
against them becoming free agents.
The Associated Press
Darius was protected by Jacksonville and Jones by New England as negotiations continue on long-term deals with both safeties.
Yesterday was the NFL deadline for "tagging" — declaring potential unrestricted free agents franchise or transition players to make it harder for them to sign elsewhere when free agency begins Feb. 28.
Jones and Darius, both first-
round picks in 1998, are guaranteed $3.04 million for one year, the average salary of the top five safeties in the NFL. A transition player must be tendered the average of the top 10 players at his position.
In many cases, players protected are not superstars, simply solid players.
Baltimore put a franchise tag on Chris McAlister, its star cornerback, tendering him the required offer for $5.9 million.
Track in N.C. may lose race
Since NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr. said last month that the sanctioning body wants to change its schedule in 2004, the tiny 1.017-mile high-banked oval known as "The Rock" has been on the endangered species list.
The Associated Press
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. — North Carolina Speedway is in danger of losing one of its Winston Cup races.
Unable to sell out a race since expanding to 60,113 seats in 1999, the track is a prime target for France to sweip a date and move a Winston Cup race into a larger market.
Speedwaygeneral manager Chris Browning won't think about that possibility as the track prepares to host Sunday's Subway 400. But once the racing weekend is over, Browning knows Rockingham's fate could be decided.
The track's other event is in November.
But Browning expects talks to begin within the next month as International Speedway Corp., a France-family owned company that controls Rockingham, decides what to do.
NASCAR normally begins the sanctioning process in early summer.
North Carolina Speedway is right in the middle of a crowded racing market, and NASCAR wants to reach other parts of the country. Darlington Raceway in South Carolina and Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte are short drives from Rockingham and combine to host five Winston Cup races.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb.21).
you have a clearer vision of what needs to be done this year than the combatants do. You're more like the referee or arbitrator. With help from a powerful friend, you can tip the scales toward the healthier way.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
ignore a friend's advice if it involves risking your money. For the next couple of days, that's not a good idea.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
You and your mate have a secret understanding. You can talk about things you won't share with anyone else. But don't get sidetracked into an alternate reality. Hear a friend's input, too.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5.
There's plenty to do, and enough confusion to keep things interesting. The best idea of the day will be initially rejected. Remember what it is, and try again on Monday.
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 8.
you'd love to run away with your love to a luxurious destination. There may be a reason or two why you shouldn't, but get as close as you can.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Home is the best place for you this
weekend, including tonight. Hold a
family council to ensure that you're
all working together and supporting
each other.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
A partner with vision helps you stay on the right course. You might have done that on your own, but this is much more fun.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22), Today is a 7.
Have you made the connection yet
between creativity and financial
reward? Somebody you love offers
reasons why you should. Use that
as your motivation to get over the
fear.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
Relax with loved ones as you consider your next move. True, there
are rough edges to be smoothed over. Make a list of them.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
Anticipate glitches, and you won't be disappointed. Come up with a few backup plans. Your book learning is going to come face to face with ugly reality.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
You're always there for a friend in need, but don't fall for a sucker deal. If you think you'll never be repaid, count it as a gift instead of a loan.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7.
Common sense works better than far-flung fantasies now. Stiff your urge to argue, and just take what you get.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
You might want to leave a project behind and get out for a romp today. A change of scenery will do you good and freshen your view of the world.

Jayhawks take on Bears
Women prepare for Baylor, hope to tie in Big 12

"It's tough to win on the road," said coach Marian Washington. "We're going to face another team that's relentless on the boards." Kansas will vie for the Big 12 Conference race when they take on Baylor at 2:05 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse.

With the women's basketball season nearing the home stretch, two teams jockeying for position in the Big 12 Conference race will meet tomorrow at 2:05 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse when Baylor visits Kansas.
The Bears fell to 5-7 in the Big 12 with a 64-55 defeat at Oklahoma State on Wednesday night. The defeat dropped Baylor into a tie for seventh place in the conference with Iowa State.
The Bears seemed to have the game against the Cowgirls in hand, but Oklahoma State closed it with a 13-4 run that dealt Baylor its fifth conference road defeat of the season. The defeat came despite a sensational effort from Big 12 freshman of the week, Sophia Young. Young posted her 11th double-double of the season leading the Bears with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson said her team needed more balance to be successful.
"If you're going to win on the road, you've got to bring more than one player," Mulkey-

Robertson told the Waco Tribune-Herald. "We had one player tonight. The other night (against Texas Tech), we had five or six players. We had one
player tonight."
Kansas was in a better mood after its 62-58 victory over Nebraska on Wednesday night. The Jayhawks improved their conference record to 3-9 and moved into ninth place in the Big 12. A victory over Baylor would move the Jayhawks within one game of the Bears as both teams look to move up the conference ladder going into the Big 12 tournament. Kansas coach Marian Washington said despite the road victory, Baylor would pose a challenge to her team.
"It's tough to win on the road." Washington said. "We're going to face another team that's going to be relentless on the boards."

game.
With the Jayhawks and Sooners occupying opposite ends of basketball ideology, Kansas hopes the addition of 255 pounds to its lineup will shift the scales in its favor. Sophomore forward Wayne Simien returned to action in full force after sitting on the bench for 11 games with a dislocated shoulder. Despite playing through obvious pain, he scored 21 points and ripped down $^{13}$
rebounds in Wednesday's 94-87 victory against Colorado.
Simien's return could signal a bright future for the Jayhawks, coach Roy Williams said Wednesday.
"Our team can be really, really good if Wayne comes back healthy and Jeff Graves plays like he did in stretches," Williams said.

the shooting guard position puts less of an emphasis on her being a vocal leader and pushes her to unveil her natural shooting ability more often.
Burras saw more time running the point on Wednesday than in any game so far this year. She responded with 12 points, three assists and five steals.
On the inside, freshman forward Tamara Ransburg will be looking for her third consecutive double-double. Last Saturday against Missouri, Ransburg recorded 19 points and 15 rebounds, then followed it up with 10 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday. Ransburg said
For Hallman, the new role at
the key to her performance was staying out of foul trouble, which she has improved lately.
Along with freshman forward Crystal Kemp (6-foot-2), Ransburg (6-foot-4) will look to take advantage of Baylor's starting lineup that features no one taller than 6-foot-2.

"It is great winning for coach Price," Metcalf said. "He is getting everything that we need to be successful. He has bent over backwards to turn this program around, and it is nice to get him some wins under his belt."
Besides Metcalf, the Jayhawks will look to senior Casey Spanish and juniors Matt Tribble and Ryan Baty to continue their hot hitting. Tribble and Baty have both recorded a hit in each of Kansas' first 12 games. Spanish has come on strong as of late, hitting safely
"We had a good week of practice this week," Metcalf said. "We have just been working on fundamentals and staying focused for 27 outs. We are looking forward to playing at home again, and hopefully we can continue our good play."

butpen. The pitching staff is a big reason for the Jayhawks early season success, Price said.
"We knew in the beginning of the year that we lacked a true power pitcher," Price said. "So we put together a staff that is mostly left handers. All three of our starters this weekend are lefties who throw a lot of breaking balls. Then we have Johnson and Smart who are righties, followed by Knippschild, another lefty. We feel like we have put together a staff that is confusing and difficult to hit against."

among the different teams based on a formula that incorporates team participation and the
school's percentage of female athletes.
The higher a team's postseason participation level and the higher the percentage of female athletes,the more money the school would receive.
The Big 12 money is separated by fiscal year, which begins July 1 and ends June 30.
For example, Oklahoma would receive a large portion of the money for going to the men's
and women's basketball final four and participating in a major bowl game.
Other teams would profit from Kansas' postseason basketball success as well.
This was the second straight
year the Big 12 sent eight teams to bowl games.
In 2000-2001, the Big 12 also had two teams in the Bowl Championship Series. Nebraska played in the Rose Bowl against Miami, and Colorado
played Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.
The Big 12 made about $27 million for its bowl efforts.

Taco Bell protesters fight low worker pay

Demonstrators at area Taco Bell restaurants Saturday afternoon were prepared to be the protesters, not the protested.
Both Lawrence Taco Bell restaurants, 1408 W. 23rd St. and 1220 W. Sixth St., were protested by members of the Lawrence Industrial Workers of the World and Organization of Lawrence Anti-Imperialist. The protest stems from a hunger strike and boycott to take place Friday at the Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine, Calif. The
15 to 16 protesters at the 23rd Street location were met by an even larger group of counter-protesters from KU's College Republicans. The Sixth Street store saw no counter-protesters.
"It was a pretty upbeat protest," said Andrew McNeil-Marshall, Downers Grove, Ill., sophomore, and Sixth Street protester.
He said the response was light yet positive. A few cars immediately pulled out of the Taco Bell parking lot after pulling in.
The anti-Taco Bell protesters took action Saturday to support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida.
"We were out there protesting unfair labor practices," said Chantal Guirdy, KU library assistant and IWW member.
The coalition claims that its employers underpay them to pick tomatoes. The employers then sell the tomatoes to Taco Bell, and if Taco Bell paid more for the tomatoes, then the tomato pickers could be paid more.
"We thought their protest was ridiculous," said Matt Flynn, Lenexa junior and vice chair of College Republicans. "We went there to support capitalism."

When Gordon Parks was born, the doctors who delivered him were convinced he was dead because he failed to make a sound.
Fortunately, several of Parks' sisters were standing nearby and convinced the doctor to dip Parks in a vat of cold water to gauge a reaction.
"I hollered," Parks said. "I came into this world holling and I guess I've been holling ever since."
Members of the Lawrence
and University of Kansas communities gathered at the Lied Center Saturday to celebrate the ways Parks has "hollered" throughout his life as a photographer, novelist, journalist and film director.
He offered his wit and wisdom via comments previously taped at his New York City home.
Parks himself did not attend, though he was originally scheduled to appear.

One on of the topics Parks talked about was how he faced success.

GPAs rising minus effort
By Lauren Airy lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Across the country, students are receiving high grades and graduating with honors even though national studies show college students study less and take more remedial courses.
At the University of Kansas, the average undergraduate grade point average has increased 5 percent from Fall 1993 to Fall 2002, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, but KU students say they don't even come close to studying the two hours per in-class credit hour recommended by most professors.
According to the recommendation, a student taking 15 credit hours in a semester should spend 30 hours per week preparing. The National Survey of Student Engagement showed that not even 15 percent of students come close to that study time.
"I don't study 30 hours a week," Kurt Eaton, Tulsa sophomore, said. "I don't think anyone studies that much. I think that 30 hours is unreasonable, but I'd still be pissed off if I got straight C's"
Since Fall 1993, the average undergraduate GPA at the University has increased from 2.80 to 2.96. GPAs in the schools of Architecture, Fine Arts and Pharmacy have risen as much as 11 percent.
With higher grades around the country, "grade inflation" — the tendency to reward mediocre work with increasingly higher grades — highlights a growing concern with academic standards.
"There are pressures from advisers, students, parents," William Arnold, professor of sociology, said. "Is there grade inflation? Do we do it? Yeah, probably. My impression is that the increase comes from some people and not others on the faculty. We discovered a few years ago that some people were giving practically all A's."
Valen Johnson, Duke University professor and author of forthcoming book, College Grading: A National Crisis in Undergraduate Education, studied 42,000 grade reports and discovered easier grades in the "soft" sciences such as sociology, psychology and communications. In his report, he found the hardest grades were in the natural sciences such as physics and math.
"It's plausible that the social sciences are easier," Arnold said. "The social sciences are more open minded to alternatives."
The hike in average GPA doesn't necessarily mean college students are smarter or better prepared. The average ACT score of incoming KU students has also risen from 21.1 in 1978 to 24.3 in 2002. Study habits in this same time period have deteriorated.
The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA released a study early this month stating this year's college freshmen have the worst study habits in 15 years. The study was based on responses from about 282,000 students at 437 public and
"Students don't see C as average. Now, a B is

private colleges and universities. According to the study, the percentage of first-year students who study less than one hour per week has nearly doubled over the past 15 years, from 8.5 percent to 15.9 percent
"If I kept up my study habits from high school, I wouldn't be cramming and rushing to finish a paper between classes. It's easy in college to slip into doing the bare minimum," Jacky Carter, Shawnee freshman, said. "In my English class last semester, my teacher said a C is average work and that there is nothing wrong with a C. That freaked me out. Students don't see C as average. Now, a B is average."
Despite a lack of studying, the A has become commonplace and the B is replacing the C as an indication of average work. In a study for the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, former Harvard dean Henry Rosovsky found 15 percent of Harvard students received a B+ or better in 1950. Today, the number of students performing "above average" is 70 percent. Last year, half the grades at Harvard were either A or A- and 91 percent of Harvard graduates walked away with Latin honors.
"There are still classes that are hard and, in those, getting an A means that much more." Carter said.
But an increase in grades can be partly attributed to professors unwilling to give students a low grade, even if they deserve it.
Stuart Roistaczer, professor at Duke University, hasn't given a C in more than two years. He wrote in an article published in The Washington Post that if he sprinkles his classroom with C's that some students deserve, his class would suffer from declining enrollments and in the marketplace mentality of higher education, low enrollments indicate poor instruction. Some critics say higher grades translate into higher teacher evaluations and higher enrollments.
"I took a sociology class because I knew it was easy. The class was a joke," Eaton said. "Then I made an A in psychology and I got C's on the tests."
Students may find their sky-high GPAs worthless in the job market and professors may continue to inflate the GPA to satisfy students and parents who are paying for an education and, in turn, a job.
"I don't know that right now we see any real reaction from employers," Kent McAnally, assistant director of University Careers and Employment Services, said. "There are some employers who have cutoff GPA and, typically, 3.0 is the benchmark we see.
"If it really is epidemic, it will eventually have some effect. But we don't see it yet."

Construction crew shows off work
By Jessica Palimenio
jalpenliono@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students kept hammering and welding Saturday as visitors viewed their progress on the site that will become a home for a low-income family.
The construction crew is in Studio 804, a class in the School of Architecture. The class held an open house Saturday to showcase the progress it has made building the house at 1718 Atherton Court, on the east edge of Lawrence between 15th and 19th streets.
The group invited administration and community members to come to the open house.
The students are building the house as part of a contract with Tenants to Homeowners, a nonprofit organization that creates affordable housing opportunities.
"I think we just start working faster because it's the only way to stay warm," said Lindsey Plant, St. Louis senior.
The students only take a break from construction if it's raining. Instead, they head indoors to work on other projects.
The weather deterred most of the residents, but the students continued to work through the cold Saturday.
Ground was broken for the house on Jan. 29, but the students' work began much earlier than that. The students haven't had a day off since
Jan. 3, said Jean Dodd, Shawnee graduate student.
Students work at the site six days a week, and are at the studio in Marvin Hall the seventh day. After working all day at the site, they attend a night class on Tuesdays at the studio.
The subfloor, the base floor above the foundation, is now finished and students will begin construct the columns and walls. Dodd said.
This is one of the most ambitious projects the class has attempted because of the environmentally friendly aspects that are being incorporated, said Dan Rockhill, professor of architecture and advisor to the project.

New gas regulations 'among strictest'in U.S
HUTCHINSON Proposed state regulations for underground storage of natural gas could prove costly if not prohibitive - for energy companies doing business in Kansas.
More than two years after natural gas explosions in Hutchinson killed two people and destroyed two downtown buildings, the new rules are close to being finished. A state official said they would be among the strictest in the country, if approved.
More than 143 million cubic feet of natural gas is believed to have leaked from a salt cavern at the Yaggy gas storage field seven miles northwest of Hutchinson, erupting from old brine wells beneath the city in January 2001.
The proposed regulations greatly increase the permit fees for gas storage operations, require extensive testing and monitoring of salt caverns and pipes, and set strict limits on how much gas can be pumped into underground salt caverns.

Monkey on the run angers local residents
DAVIS, Calif. — When a monkey slipped from its cage at a University of California medical research lab, handlers peered into sewers, poked behind cages and baited traps to try to catch it.
A week and a half later, though, all they've found in their search is an angry town armed with new ammunition against a proposed biodefense
research center that the university says would study the world's deadliest diseases for the effort to protect the country from bioterrorism.
The monkey, a rhesus macaque, disappeared from the California National Primate Research Center, which would supply animals to the proposed Biosafety Level 4 lab to study diseases with no known cure, such as the Ebola and West Nile viruses.
School officials promised the runaway was disease-free—the center raises animals for research on level two and three diseases, which have vaccines or treatments—and would never have escaped from the proposed biodefense lab.
Officer runs over, kills tourist in beach chase
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -A police officer searching for robbery suspects on the beach drove over two tourists Saturday, killing one and critically injuring the other.
Miami Beach police officer George Varon was driving a marked sports utility vehicle along the crowded shores, searching for two robbery suspects believed to be on the beach. He apparently didn't see two French sisters laying in the sand, police said.
Stephanie and Sandrine Tune were taken to a hospital, where Stephanie, 27, died. Sandrine, 26, was listed in critical condition Saturday evening. Police said the sisters, who lived in Britain, were on vacation.
Several witnesses said the officer's actions were reckless and that he wasn't using a siren.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A
Freshmen team buzzes in to win
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Four-member teams answered rapid-fire questions about Greek mythology, college quarterbacks and the Dixie Chicks in short, clipped answers. In this game, the right response is just as important as getting it out quickly.
The University of Kansas and Student Union Activities hosted 12 teams from across the Midwest at the Regional Tournament College Bowl at the Kansas Union over the weekend.
The College Bowl, a tournament dating back to the 1950s, pits two four-member teams against each other in a game show format. Teams listen to trivia questions read by moderators and have to buzz in and give the right answer to win points.
"People get involved because College Bowl is a fun thing," Isaac Dill, McPherson sophomore and College Bowl volunteer, said. "Like Jeopardy, it's a neat way to test random knowledge."
SUA coordinated the campus College Bowl tournament last November and SUA members helped with the regional event by recruiting volunteers and publicizing the event, Fallon Farokhi, SUA president, said. About 40 students served as volunteers for the tournament.
Chandra Dunbar, Union program advisor, coordinated the regional College Bowl tournament for Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
"Like Jeopardy, it's a neat way to test random knowledge."
Isaac Dill
McPherson sophomore
Dunbar, in her first year as regional coordinator, began contacting universities and colleges eligible for the regional tournament in September. To be eligible, schools had to hold a campus College Bowl tournament in the fall.
"I was very pleased with the tournament," Dunbar said. "There was great competition and the schools were fantastic."
The KU team, coached by Dawn Shew, was made up of four freshmen. The team earned its spot at the regional tournament by winning the campus tournament last November. Three members of the team often competed against the fourth member in Quiz Bowl at their high schools in Edmond, Okla., in similar trivia tournaments.
"We've only just begun to see what this KU team can do." Shew said. "They've shown themselves to be contenders against teams they used to look up to. They're very smart."
The University of Oklahoma won the regional tournament and will compete at the national championship tournament April 25-27 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Web site maps out city crime
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students and Lawrence residents can now see the number of crimes reported in their neighborhood because of an improvement to the Lawrence Police Department Web site.
The department Web site, www.lawrencepolice.org, has maps of Lawrence neighborhoods with the city's crime statistics.
Web surfers who visit the site see a map of Lawrence and can click on an area to view a table with crime information. The department has compiled data about robberies, assaults, property damage and other crimes from police reports from 1999 to 2002.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department
said the improvement was implemented because the police station had received an increasing number of inquiries about particular neighborhood statistics.
"Any time you are able to break down statistics like that and make it more user-friendly people will usually enjoy it much better." Pattrick said.
But Patrick said raw statistics could also be somewhat misleading. He said it was not accurate to judge neighborhood crime solely by the statistics given on the Web site because of the varying population densities in areas of the city.
Previously, the Web site had statistics only for the city of Lawrence as a whole.
"Whenever you have a condensed number of people, there is a likelier chance of a report being taken," he said.
Elizabeth Deng, Overland Park junior, lives at Birchwood Gardens, 1824 Tennessee St. Her complex is in a neighborhood near campus with one of the higher crime rates in Lawrence, but Deng said she was not worried. She said she had not heard of any crimes at her complex.
"In the area that I'm living in, I feel like it's pretty safe," she said. "But I think it would be helpful to know what's going on in the area."
Justin Mennen also lives in the area, but the Overland Park senior said knowing the crime rate in his neighborhood wouldn't make him more cautious. He didn't think the statistics would be useful for him.
Patrick said the update had been in place for about a week and the police department had received positive comments so far.

Louis Farrakahn, 70-year-old minister and the most prominent public face of the Nation of Islam, spoke out against President Bush and the pending war with Iraq via satellite to an audience of about 500 yesterday at the Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Mo. Farrakahn, who was speaking from the University of Illinois-Chicago's campus, said the nation needed religion as war with Iraq loomed.
place the United States in the Bible or the Koran, then you don't know how to lead our country."Farrakahn said.
Farrakahn, speaking on behalf of the Nation of Islam, said that U.S. citizens should be wary of the leadership offered by President Bush.
"I hasten to tell you the President of the United States is spiritually blind," Farrakahn said, "If you drink of the wine of power, you can be drunk and unable to assess the situation."
A war with Iraq will activate evil. Farrakahn said.
"The moment the bombs stop falling, there will be trouble," he said. "Iraq is just a trigger for the real war which will start after the war with Iraq is over."
thousands across the globe and called for true Muslims, Christians and Jews to avoid being influenced by a bigot mentality that pervaded in the United States.
"The mindset of white supremacy has poisoned Christianity, Islam and Judaism," he said. "These religions have been hijacked by that mentality. There a very few true Christians, true Muslims."
The normally divisive Farrakahn also called for true followers of each of these religions to stay loyal to their religions in the face of a potential conflict with Iraq.
Farrakahn's speech was broadcast to more than 100 cities throughout the globe, officials at the Scottish Rite Temple said.
The speech was a part of Sav-
iour's Day celebrations. Saviour's Day is a holiday in the Nation of Islam.
The event was conducted by members of KU sorority Zeta Phi Beta. While many of those who attended the event were Muslims, some of the crowd came simply to hear a different voice on the issue of war with Iraq.
Jennifer Leong, St. Louis junior and Zeta Phi Beta vice-president, said she attended the event in order to get a new perspective.
"I'm not a Muslim, but Farrakahn is still an important leader," she said. "It's good to hear other people's opinions and not be close-minded to issues."

EDITORIAL BOARD
Classified employees deserve respect
Living in a dorm can be easy. Easy to make friends. Easy to get to classes on time. Easy to get food.
What makes it even easier is that person who's always there to clean up all the messes that are disgusting to look at.
There's someone to scrub the toilets and hose down the shower and vacuum the carpet in the hallway, and someone to empty the bigtrash cans at the end of the hall and to clean out the ashtrays on the front porch.
They are the custodians who make this campus and residence halls as sanitary as possible.
These people make up part of the classified staff of the University of Kansas — the custodians, secretaries and craftsmen, such as electricians and plumbers.
Some of them have families to support on jobs that pay little more than $8 an hour. About 140 full-time employees at the University live below the poverty line for a family of four.
It is easy enough to agree with the Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance, whose goal it is to make sure that a classified worker has enough to live off of. But in the midst of a budget crisis, where is the money supposed to come from?
For classified staffers to get a raise, a series of bureaucratic channels, such as the "pay matrix," which delegates raises to employees based on their level of classification, stops the process. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has proposed a 1.5 percent pay increase for state employees, which include the classified workers at the University.
What can students and faculty do?
Thank them for doing their job.
Thank them by picking up that cigarette butt and conserving toilet paper and flushing that toilet. Don't party too hard and assume that someone else will clean up the puke splattered everywhere. It is easy, and even lazy, to say "I don't need to pick up after myself because someone else will."
For the classified workers at the University of Kansas, their jobs may not be glamorous, but they sure are necessary.

EXQUISITE RELIEF
So what was it that the hacker broke into?
Apparently, the hacker added a class AND also dropped one. That makes this person a true threat to national security.
Lance Meneley for The University Daily Kansan
PERSPECTIVE
Information must be guarded
It happens to employees, families and students every year. A person gets a computer program. The license agreement instructs the user to make only one backup program on a single machine at a time. Usually, an urge to make copies for friends and family follows. The user is facing an ethical dilemma.
Meanwhile, a student lands a job in the Chancellor's office. He must enter personal data into the school computer system. He finds another student in the office attractive and wants to find out some personal information before deciding whether to ask the girl out Again, another dilemma.
COMMENTARY
PETRA M. LOWE
When dealing with computer ethics, it's important to consider how you will affect other people's lives. But it's most important to take measures to protect yourself.
yourself.
The computer is like a double-edged sword. On one side, there is the opportunity for increased reliability, convenience and performance.
On the other, there is the possibility for error and invasion of privacy. Such was the case several weeks ago when the University's Student and Exchange Visitor Information System test files were
Elizabeth Moss opinion@kansan.com
broken into by hackers, and again when an SUA officer forwarded the personal information of about 700 students to a potential student body president candidate.
A democratic society that values equal opportunity needs a solid system for gaining assets. To keep opportunity equal, everyone could get a copy of the software. However there is not a reasonable computer service that could distribute programs to everyone. Even if a company could provide a program to every person,the company's payment for additional assets would disappear and the company would choose not to make the program at all.
As for the second dilemma, there are reasons why personal information is kept private. For example, treatment
for alcoholism or venereal disease is kept confidential to quell prejudices. Students cannot prevent some of the unfavorable situations that present themselves, such as mental illnesses or financial troubles. It can be easy to shun a relationship because of such information.
In an information-based society, institutions like the University of Kansas are collecting more and more data on our activities. When we apply for jobs, start bank accounts or even go tanning, someone is making a new file about us.
The University provided good advice on how to protect yourself from hackers. However, it was after damage had already been done. Just because this has left the recent memory of the campus doesn't mean we aren't still at risk. Follow the instructions on the University's Web site. www.ku.edu, to prevent the theft of your own identity.
The concern about computer ethics greatly impacts the safety and democracy of our country. Let's hope that good ethical choices outweigh bad choices now and in future years.

Nationality significant to identity
COMMENTARY
I have not eaten sushi recently, but still love Japan and am proud of where I was born and raised. While I miss my country, I would like to act as a cosmopolitan for the University of Kansas.

When international students try to join the American society, they are always wondering how they can show their nationality. For non-American students, nationality could be one of the most significant factors in defining their identity; therefore, communities might be interested in their nationality.
International students should show their nationalities and get involved in the American lifestyle. We international students cannot hide our nationalities behind our backs.
Kengo Terada opinion@kansan.com
succeed in the KU volleyball team, set the freshman kill record last season. The Lawrence Journal-World, The Kansas City Star and The University Daily Kansan praised her accomplishment. According to these newspapers, she was the best volleyball player in Kansas last season.
Two public examples of international students taking advantage of American culture are Josiane Lima, Brazil freshman and Ryotaro Hayakawa, Narita, Japan, freshman. They are international students who jumped into American college sports with bravery and pride. College sports — this is a true American community. Children long to play them. Graduates show pride for their alma mater's sports teams long after they leave college. These two athletes could be good examples of how international students can succeed in the American society.
Hayakawa said he had never seen such a severe situation before coming to the United States. He would never have had that experience if he had played in a Japanese college league because Japanese college baseball teams are less competitive than American teams.
the KU baseball team, understood the American college sports system well after his first semester here. Last semester, he walked onto the team. Hayakawa tried out for the team with some of his friends who didn't end up making it onto the team. At the end of the last semester, some of his best friends on the KU baseball team transferred because they didn't fit in.
Hayakawa, a student manager for
Lima said she often compared Brazilian volleyball techniques to American ones.
"On the other hand, I am always open-minded toward the coach's instruction," she said.
cant teams Lima and Hayakawa displayed qualities of their nationalities while playing for KU teams.
Hayakawa said he respected his teammates because of their dedication to both academics and practice.
Hayakawa said he always showed teammates courtesy.
International student-athletes also have to overcome differences in culture.
Cultural differences come from differences in society's rules, Lima said.
"So I am always asking what is legal and illegal," she said.
Hayakawa said he was struggling with learning a new language.
"But I know that the more I try to understand, the more people make me understand well even if I cannot respond enough," he said.
The athletes mentioned several ways to show pride in their countries while adapting to the American society.
adapting to the situation he was admitted as a member of American society, he would make his contribution as an international student.
Lima said she represented Brazil by being natural, which was to have friends and act as herself.
There are two important criteria that international students should consider to succeed under American circumstances.The first is that international students should know how American society works. The second is that they should make the effort to be a real member of society.
Meanwhile, society has to support and respond to what newcomers want with equality and delight.
Both sides are able to play each part. Any nationality can join and co-exist in any community, in any situation.

Engineering Expo exhibits target youth with fun
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Dozens of paper airplanes lay scattered on the floor in a Learned Hall classroom. Elementary school students visiting this Engineering Expo exhibit folded and re-folded one of three pre-printed paper airplane designs and aimed the airplanes at each other, at the ceiling, and out into the hallway.
"They're ecstatic," David Tenny, Overland Park junior, said. "These kind of Expo exhibits are important because it develops an interest in engineering early in life. I mean, it's paper airplanes. You can't go wrong with that."
The 92nd-annual Engineering Expo, "Evolution of Engineering,"
took place Friday at Learned Hall. About 840 elementary school, junior high and high school students participated in interactive displays at the free event. In addition to the registered students coming on field trips, hundreds of community members and KU students attended the Expo.
"I haven't gotten to look at all the displays yet, but I like how they're hands-on," Matthias Heilke, Central Junior High School eighth grader, said.
"We choose things that will come across to younger students," Brandt said. "We can't present it at too high a level. With the design contests, we try to keep students involved and expose them to what we do."
The EngineeringStudent Council has been planning this year's Expo since last May. Ian Brandt, Engineering Expo chairman, and about 25 student volunteers invited more than 250 Kansas schools to Expo last fall and then determined Expo's theme, design contests and exhibits.
The pasta bridge competition, a civil engineering activity, attracted students in every age group who used store-bought pasta and white glue to make their bridges. KU students then tested the bridges by adding sand to a bucket hung from the bridge. Eventually, the glue started to crackle under the weight of the bucket and the bridges snapped and broke.
The design contests included a pasta bridge competition, a balsa wood egg drop, and a history of engineering museum design.
The winner of the bridge com
petition built a bridge that held 100 pounds. Top three winners in each age category received Legos.
"We didn't expect to see anything over 50 pounds and they doubled that," Kevin Hardee, Belton. Mo. junior, said. "Everybody loves to build."
Thursday night was spent transforming ordinary classrooms in Learned Hall into interactive exhibits. Activities and displays included a wind tunnel demonstration, rocket design, a concrete canoe, race car simulator, a heat transfer pancake feed and networked computer gaming.
Brandt said the Expo was a recruiting tool for the University.

Students turn to religious groups with threat of war
By Cal Creek
creek@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As the U.S. military prepares to begin a possible war with Iraq, KU students look to their religious organizations for guidance in this time of conflict.
No matter what the opinion of its constituents, interest in the possible war is growing in some religious groups on campus.
The Rev. Shawn Norris, Lutheran campus pastor, said the students talked about the conflict informally, but they had recognized that they needed to have further discussions. Lutheran Campus Ministry is planning services for peace, in which students can pray for and discuss the conflict in a religious setting.
"For me, as a Christian, there's some important value of mercy," Norris said. "All of us are good and evil. My concern would be people thinking God is on our side."
While many Lutherans begin to pray for peace, Lawrence residents of the Muslim faith do not pray for peace at Masjid, the Muslim service, although they oppose the war.
Moussa Elbayoumy, a board member for the Islamic Center of Lawrence, said he hadn't heard anyone use the potential war as a subject for a religious sermon. He said the majority of Muslims with whom he'd spoken opposed the approaching war.
"Everyone should try their best to convince and influence our government to change its course," Elbayoumy said.
Many Muslims think a war can
be justified if one's home, family and beliefs are threatened. Elbayoumy said that President Bush was not justified to invade Iraq and expressed concern for Bush's religious stance on the approaching war. Elbayoumy said the government was "talking out of both sides of its mouth" when it said that the potential war was not about religion, yet it profiles people of the Muslim faith for inspection.
Unlike many Muslims, the Jewish community does not share the same beliefs with one another regarding the threat of war.
"It really has not been a major topic of conversation," said Jay Lewis, executive director of KU Hillel. "There's no monolithic response. Jewish opinion runs the entire spectrum on the war."
Lewis said students had concerns, but the concerns were no different from those outside of religious organizations — except for concerns for Israel. He said he was concerned about the possible war's effects because during the onset of the Gulf War, Iraq fired missiles at Tel Aviv, Israel.
Hillel and the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center will provide students concerned about war with the opportunity to hear it discussed among an inter-faith panel. The panel will discuss what makes a just war with representatives from the Protestant, Jewish, Catholic and Muslim faiths at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Kansas Union.
The Rev. Vince Krische said he emphasized prayer for peace for Catholic students who opposed the potential war, in addition to
writing letters to Congress and staving informed.
"War is always devastating." he said. "The cost of war goes on and on. We're still paying for Vietnam, for what it did to our society."
American bishops are urging peace, he said. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Web site, the bishops think the approaching war would not meet the morals implied in Catholic teaching. The Catholic church believes that anything that diminishes human life is to be avoided, Krische said.
Students involved with Ecumenical Christian Ministries constructed an often vandalized anti-war sign, which returned to the ECM lawn this morning after last Saturday's protest. As part of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and
Justice, members of ECM have participated in anti-war protests.
"We feel this war is unjust. There is no immediate threat to the U.S.," said the Rev Thad Holcombe, campus pastor for ECM.
Holcombe also expressed concern with President Bush's growing use of religious allusion and biblical references regarding terrorism and the war.
"I'm disgusted about it," Holcombe said. "It becomes an idolatry thing to say God is on our side."
Holcombe asked those concerned or involved in the war to look at it from both sides, to raise questions in classes, and keep up with the news.
"How do you see the face of God in your enemy?" Holcombe said.

Residents give pennies to improve playground
By Jessica Palimenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff officer
Find a penny, pick it up — and this week, donate it to children living on campus.
Residents in student housing are collecting change for a fundraiser called "penny wars."
The money raised will purchase playground equipment for the Stouffier Place apartments on campus, where married students live with their families.
This will be the second time this school year that residents have participated in the penny wars. Last semester, the groups raised about $2,000, said Lee Bickerstaff, resident and National Residence Hall Honorary community service chairman.
"We haven't done anything with the funds yet," he said. "What we have this time is just going to be added to it and given to the Stouffer neighborhood in one lump sum."
Judging of the game is based on a point system. Pennies are counted as positive points and any other change is negative.
There will be cups in the lobies of each floor of the halls for residents to drop their change in. To stiffen the competition, they can also put negative coins in the other floors' cups.
"Everyone usually ends up negative, but whoever is the least negative wins," Bickers staff said.
Prizes will be awarded within
the residence halls. The building with the best score will receive a DVD player, and the winning floor in each building will receive a pizza party.
The event's sponsor, National Residence Hall Honorary, is purchasing the prizes. The group has a fund built up from other fund raisers to use for the purchases, said Stacey Reding, Alma senior and secretary of NRHH.
The scholarship halls and Jayhawker Towers also contribute to the event.
The deadline to contribute change is 5 p.m. Friday. After that, all change will be taken to a bank and counted for the second time to determine the winners.

Two nightclub disasters spark more inspections
The Associated Press
CHICAGO—Fire inspectors descended on nightclubs across the nation this weekend after two nightclub tragedies in the span of a week killed 117 people, some caught in a stampede and others burned to death in a fire.
In Chicago, where the 21 people were trampled at the E2 nightclub Feb. 17, inspectors evacuated the second floor of a club early Sunday after finding overcrowding, blocked exits and other problems.
A rock band competition planned for Salem, Ore., was canceled after an inspection there revealed the venue didn't meet fire and building codes.
And other cities, including Dallas and Kansas City, Mo., put more inspectors on duty and kept them out until the early hours, when clubs are most crowded.
The flurry of inspections closely followed the deaths late Thursday of 96 people in a West Warwick, R.I., nightclub, where a
rock band's pyrotechnics ignited the ceiling tiles and quickly engulfed the nightclub and its trapped patrons in flames.
"We've seen a sharp increase in the number of reported overcrowdings," even though most didn't prove to be problems, said Brian Humphrey, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Fire officials across the country tried yesterday they were finding clubbears almost everywhere were more aware of their surroundings than usual — and more willing to report problems.
More people than usual also called Chicago authorities to complain about clubs there, said Chief Kevin MacGregor, a department spokesman.
It was a complaint that led police to the Rive Gauche nightclub early yesterday.
Kansas City's fire department, which typically conducts inspections during the week, sent four teams of investigators to 54 establishments on Friday night and Saturday morning. In
Dallas, the city fire department, which now has two full-time nightclub inspectors, pledged to temporarily add a second two-member team to search for safety violations.
Philadelphia Mayor John E Street announced Sunday that the city's approximately 200 nightclubs would face emergency inspections in the next 60 days. Massachusetts governor on Friday ordered similar inspections statewide.
In Miami Beach, which has more than 60 clubs, Fire Marshal Ed Del Favro said the city continued an already busy inspection schedule. Fire marshals are in the clubs during peak hours every Friday and Saturday night and make about 3,000 inspections a year, he said.
On Saturday, one Miami Beach club, Ibiza, was cited for having about 230 patrons—well above its legal limit of 142. Fire marshals ushered patrons outside until the level was back to the limit.

Some of the products within the house will be made with salvaged or recycled material as well as other environmentally friendly features.
The Kansas City Star donated the window frames that were salvaged from a building being demolished in Kansas City. The maple wood flooring that will be throughout the house was also salvaged from an old gymnasium floor.
The placement of the house was also selected with energy efficiency in mind. The house faces south, which
provides it with best lighting possible.
Rockhill said he hoped that more people would become aware of modern environmental issues like heat-efficiency.
"I hope in some way this will inspire other people who are working to incorporate similar features," Rockhill said.
The class is meant to give students real-world experience in design as well as construction.
"It's probably the most important part for an architect to understand the material they are designing with," Brian Garvey, St. Louis senior, said.
The class is usually a graduate-level class, but this year it was also opened to fifth-year undergraduate students. The

Taco Bell CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
While the anti-Taco Bell groups carried signs that read "IWW supports Florida Tomato Pickers," "So you think slavery
ended in 1864? Think again," and "Boycott Taco Bell," the 23rd Street Taco Bell protesters didn't meet their task with as clear a success as on Sixth Street.
Guirdy said the counter-protesters confused the situation.
"I think most people, passersby, didn't know what was going on," Guirdry said.
Flynn said the College Republicans accomplished its goal.
While both organizations of protesters were at odds with
each other, they both agreed to leave the Taco Bell employees alone.
"We don't have any beef with the people working the counter at Taco Bell," she said. "They're just trying to get along."
Flynn said the College Republicans knew the employees were just doing their job while the Republicans did theirs. Guirdy and the anti-Taco
Bell protesters had similar sentiments.

On his career as a journalist and photojournalist, Parks, who covered radical groups such as the Black Panther Party and the Nation of Islam, said he was proud of his independence.
"It's not difficult to expect success," Parks said. "It is difficult to have people from all over the world send me letters and tell me how much I influenced them. I wonder to myself, 'Am I worth it?'
"I made sure to tell people I come here as a reporter and not as a black reporter," he said.
As a part of Saturday's celebration, a panel reflected on aspects of Parks' societal and artistic impact. One of the panelists, J. Edgar Tidwell, associate professor in English, asked Parks about covering the Black Panther Party.
"I remember riding in a car, telling one young man my camera —my weapon— is more powerful than your gun," Parks said. "Two weeks later, that young man was killed in an ambush. I felt sorry for him, but it proved my point. My camera was more powerful."
The highlight for most of the crowd of about 60 was Parks himself, who made the audience laugh several times while answering pre-recorded questions from the panel.
"I liked seeing the interviews," said Paige Ensinger, Lawrence resident. "He's such an intelligent and thoughtful man."
At the end of the event, Barbara Ballard, associate vice provost for student support, presented Parks with a proclamation from Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius by video. Parks said he was honored and that he was sorry he could not attend the ceremony in person, but he offered an excuse.
"I'm in my 90s now and I can't get around like I used to," Parks said. "And if I came to Lawrence I'd have to go to so many other places in Kansas. I'd be traveling for six days."

Sooners stop super Jayhawk rally
COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Kirk Hinrich, senior guard, watches from the bench after fouling out in the second half. Hinrich led the Jayhawks with 21 points in the Jayhawks los to the Sooners yesterday in Norman, Okla.
NORMAN, Okla.-Yesterday's showdown between No. 6 Kansas and No. 5 Oklahoma was supposed to be a back-and-forth battle between the best teams in the Big 12 Conference. But the game didn't live up to its billing until the final minutes of the 77-70 Sooner victory.
Kansas (20-6 overall, 10-2 Big 12 conference) trailed 14-4 seven minutes into the game and seemed to be headed for one of the worst defeats in the program's history. Even the loss of Oklahoma's starting forward Jabahri Brown to a conclusion midway through the first half couldn't slow the Sooners. The Jayhawks' 21-point halftime deficit, 47-26, was the team's largest in two years.
"In the first half, not only were we not in the same building with them, we weren't in the same league," Williams said. "They were in the stratosphere and we were whatever is the opposite of that."
Kansas fared even worse at the beginning of the second half. Oklahoma senior guards Hollis Price and Quannas White combined for 15 second-half points, each finishing with 19 points for the game. Price's layup with 16:07 to play capped a 12-1 run that gave the Sooners a 32-point advantage. But if the scoreboard indicated the game was out-of-reach, nobody told the Jayhawks.
Led by sophomore forward Wayne Simien's 9 points in six and a half minutes, Kansas mounted a furious second-half comeback that turned a blowout into a ball game.
Oklahoma still led by 12 with just under three minutes left, but when Kansas senior forward Nick Collison was fouled while making a layup with 22 seconds left, Kansas cut the deficit to five with an opportunity to do even more damage.
That, however, was as close as the Jayhawks would come. Collison missed the ensuing free throw, and later, Oklahoma guard De'Angelo Alexander made four straight free throws, sealing the victory.
The game put Oklahoma (19-4, 10-2) into first place in the league, while Kansas moved into second with four
remaining conference games.
Pressed by reporters to find a positive aspect of the loss, senior guard Kirk Hinrich said he was impressed with the team's resiliency.
"It's just amazing we even had a shot," Hinrich said, "being down by 30."

Kansas takes two with fan attention

The Kansas baseball team continued its winning ways this past weekend, defeating the Eastern Michigan Eagles twice by scores of 3-1 and 6-2. With the victories, the Jayhawks moved to 11-3 on the season.
In Friday's opening game, the Jayhawks managed only two hits, but one was a two-run home run by senior Jason Appuhn in the eighth inning.
The three-game series, which was scheduled for Friday, Saturday and yesterday, was cut short. The third game was moved to Saturday, but the second game of that doubleheader was canceled because of cold weather.
Game one belonged to senior pitcher Kevin Wheeler, who threw eight and two-thirds innings, allowing no earned runs and striking out 12 batters.
"It was a lot of fun today." Wheeler said. "I was just trying to get ahead of the batters and make them hit instead of letting them hit. I was just concentrating on getting all of the pitches over the plate in an effective way."
The game drew 1,342 fans to Hoglund Ballpark. It was the sixth-largest crowd in Kansas baseball history. Coach Ritch Price said the crowd attributed to the team's success.
"The crowd today was absolutely awesome," Price said. "Hopefully, if we continue to win, the crowd will continue to get bigger."
The first game of the series also saw outfielder Matt Tribble extend his hitting streak to 13 games, which junior Ryan
Baty could not manage to do as his hitting streak ended at 12. In the second game, Tribble extend his hitting streak to 14 games with a double in the fifth inning.
In the second game of the series, the two teams saw the temperature drop more than 20 degrees to 27 degrees. But the temperature difference did not affect the Jayhawks as they saw seven of their nine starters record at least one hit. Kansas also scored in six of the eight innings it batted.
The pressure was on junior Josh Duran to continue the stellar pitching on day two of the series. Duran pitched five and two-thirds innings allowing only one earned run. The game also saw the Jayhawks hit six doubles, two shy of the team record.
Senior Casey Spanish, who went three for three on the day, said the team's ability to hit the ball was a big reason the Jay hawks came out of the blistering cold with a victory.
"Yesterday, we really did not execute the way we wanted to," Spanish said after Saturday's game. "So today, in the cold we just wanted to put some good swings together. We had to overcome the weather and just play hard all nine innings."
"Both teams today are from the Midwest, and we know that we will have to play more games in conditions similar to today," Price said after Saturday's game. "I think this is a game that we will look back at that was big win for us."
Price said he thought the weather conditions that the team had to play in would help both teams down the road.

Bears beat 'Hawks despite comeback
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com kansan sportswriter
Saturday's 77-61 loss to Baylor served as the perfect example of the growing pains the young Kansas women's basketball team is experiencing in conference play.
The Jayhawks (10-14 overall, 3-10 Big 12 Conference) showed their heart in pulling back to within four aftertrailing by as many as 18 points in the second half.
"They need to understand that staying with our game plan is essential," coach Marian Washington said. "I thought we had too many breakdowns, especially at the three-point line. That has hurt us all season long and it hurt us again."
They also showed their youth by allowing a 10-2 Baylor run after closing the gap. Kansas accomplished its goal to stay tough in the paint, being out-rebounded 32-28, but could not keep pace effectively as the Bears (17-8, 6-7) hit nine three-point field goals.
A late three-pointer gave Baylor a 42-34 lead going into halftime, and then a 10-0 run to start the second half gave Baylor a comfortable lead.
Kansas nearly completed the comeback, sparked by three threepointers from sophomore guard Stacey Becker. Baylor ultimately pulled away, triggered by sophomore guard Jordan Davis, who hit four of her game-high six three-pointers in the game's final seven minutes.

Swimmers take fourth in Big 12 meet

Although the expectations of being a Top 25 swimming program were not met this season, the Kansas swimming and diving team is getting closer to its goal.
The Jayhawks concluded their fourday performance, which started Wednesday, in the Big 12 Championships at Austin, Texas, with a fourth-place finish. The team collected 471.5 points, which was 38.5 points behind the third place
team, Missouri. Texas went on to win the championship meet. The fourth-place showing was highest Big 12 meet finish for the Jayhawks since the 2000 season.
"We took a lot of positive strides this year, and it showed in the conference championships," senior Gwen Healey said.
"It was a tremendous honor for me, but more of the credit must go to the swimmers who swam hard to improve
Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell was named the Coach of the Meet by other Big 12 coaches at the awards ceremony.

Freshman Gina Gnatzig finished third in the 200-yard backstroke, which was the highest finish for a Jayhawk in the conference championships. Her time of 2:01.05 set a new school record. The previous best time was 2:01.40, set in 1997. Senior Beth Schryer took fourth place in the 1,650-yard freestyle, clocking in at 16:52.82. She improved from her tenth place finish at last year's conference meet. Sophomore Andrea Becker took ninth in the same race with
a time of 17:03.17.
Sophomore Miranda Isaac and junior Kristen Johnson finished in seventh and eighth place respectively in the 200-yard breaststroke with times of 2:20.04 and 2:20.30. Haley placed fifth, with a time of 2:03.36, in the 200-yard butterfly. Amy Gruber notched a ninth place finish for Kansas in the 100-yard freestyle at 50.61 seconds. Kansas wrapped up the championships with a fifth-place finish in the 400-yard freestyle relay, clocking in at 3:26.34.

Like it or not, any Kansas baseball fan was more suspicious than excited when sophomore third baseman Travis Metcalf was named the NCAA National Hitter of the Week last week.
But didn't Ryan Baty, KU's first baseman, win this same award just two weeks earlier?
It was an outstanding honor. According to the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association, nobody in the country had a better week than Metcalf, who hit .588 with three big home runs, helping the once-pipsqueak Jayhawks topple No. 6 Louisiana State.
Popularity of baseball may not last after honors
So, which is it? Were Baty and Metcalf really the best in their respective weeks, or was the association just not looking hard enough?
The fact that two Jayhawks, members of a team picked to finish in the Big 12 cellar, were given the honor in three weeks might be reason to question the credibility of how far they search for the best hitters in the country.
"The process involves the conference offices," said Russell Anderson of the association. "They send a list of their players of the week, and we select a hitter and a pitcher based on that."
The award has been running for three years now. Last season, Bryan Bullington of Ball State, the first overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft, received the award. So did—among others Texas All-American Justin Simmons and Clemson's Khalil Greene, the best player in the collegiate game last year.
And, can we say the same about the rowdy fan base? The 1,342 fans who showed up on Friday were fabulous. They supported the Jayhawks, and at the same time, never thought twice about giving Eastern Michigan or the umpires all the grief they could handle.
Can we say the same about the No.21 Jayhawks? They're now 11-3 after topping Eastern Michigan twice this weekend. Will they cool off and be mediocre like everyone expected?
The fans of Kansas baseball may have been suspicious about the big-time honors that Baty and Metcalf received, but the award seems legit.
The truth is, Metcalf, Baty and Tulane's Jonny Kaplan, the three to receive the honor this season, are in great company. Two Jayhawks getting it in three weeks is even more impressive — and unprecedented.
"I don't think that's happened yet," Anderson said. "There's been a couple of players from the same team in one year, but not in three weeks."
But will the fans cool off and not care in a month?
As for Metcalf, his hot stick came while Kansas was shocking the nation, sweeping mighty LSU and giving Kansas one of its finest weekends in history. Metcalf was one of the big reasons Kansas went 3-0 in Baton Rouge.
So why Kansas?
One reason for Baty's honor may be that not every school had started playing when he received the honor in late January. Still, for a player to hit 619 in six games as Baty did would merit serious consideration any week of the season.
Time will tell. But like it or not, I'd be more suspicious than excited if they stuck around, especially when the team slips and loses a couple of games.
Sadly, that's all it would take for the fans to head to the exits. No matter what kind of accolades Kansas brings in.

KU alumnus shows talent in coaching
Whoever said, "You can never go home again," should not say it in front of Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell, who has returned to his alma mater to the program he was once a part of.
In his first year, the coach has led his team and finished fourth at the Big 12 Conference championships in Austin Texas.
He's mentioned in every interview that he expected the Kansas program to be in the Top 25. This assurance has been an indication of stability for the swimming team, which is something it has been scrambling to find for the past four years.
The Kansas swimming and diving program has been through three coaches in the last four years. Gary Kemp, who coached the women's team for 23 years, left after the 1999-2000 season. Cathy Burgess, an assistant under Kemp, took over the program before Campbell became coach this season.
Senior Gwen Haley said the instability had made this year's senior class closer through the years to support one another. She also said the three coaches had different approaches.
"Gary just set the expectations there and never mentioned it for the rest of the season. Cathy emphasized the expectations to us once in a while." Haley said, "But with Clark, he reminded us what it needed to take to be a Top 25 program. He's very determined and cares so deeply for the swimmers."
"Grow where I'm planted" is how Campbell said he approached this program. Campbell swam under Kemp's leadership at Kansas in 1984 before swimming eight years as a professional tri-athlete.
He earned a bachelor's degree in 1993 from Kansas. After being an assistant coach for the University of Minnesota and coach at the University of Evansville in Indiana, Campbell jumped at the opportunity to go back to his alma mater and lead the program he once swam for.
"It has been a great opportunity for me as an alum to establish a consistent commitment to excellence for a flagship institution of Kansas," he said
Campbell ended his first year as coach at Kansas with a Coach of the Meet award at the Big 12 Championships Saturday.
"This was a tremendous honor shared by the staff and the team," he said.

Tyson relives youth with quick KO
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There is still some badness left in Iron Mike after all.
In desperate need of a devastating win, Mike Tyson got just that Saturday night, flattening Clifford Etienne with a savage right hand reminiscent of Tyson in his prime.
Etienne was knocked flat on his back in the middle of the ring and he lay there as referee Bill Clancy counted him out only 49 seconds into the scheduled 10 round fight.
Tyson then leaned over and helped Ettienne to his feet as the crowd at the Pyramid arena erupted in glee at the sudden ending to a fight that seemed like it would never happen.
Fighting in the same ring where Lennox Lewis gave him a beating last June, Tyson went right after Etienne, who cooperated by standing in front of him and throwing punches back.
It proved a mistake when Tyson threw a right hand that landed flush on Etienne's
It was the 16th knockout in the first 1:33 of the first round or less for Tyson and his sixth quickest ever. He needed it badly to salvage his chances of a rematch with Lewis or a possible third fight with Evander Holyfield.
jaw and sent him sprawling to the canvas.
"To be honest I'm not ready to fight him (Lewis) at this time," Tyson said. "I need more fights. I don't want to get beat up again."
Etienne was picked as an opponent because he figured to give Tyson an easy target, and he didn't disappoint.
"I kept my hands up looking for the opening and I got it," Tyson said.
Tyson, more animated before the introductions than usual, had gone into the ring and stood bouncing in front of Etienne before ripping off the towel over his chest.
When the fight began, Tyson came out slugging, landing a few punches before Etienne grabbed him and pushed him into the ropes, knocking him down.
The action resumed and Tyson missed with a left hook before connecting with
the punch that ended the fight.
Ettienne has a tendency to go down—seven times in one fight alone—and was hand selected as an opponent because of his weak chin and his style of fighting right in front of an opponent.
"This was the way I had to fight him." Etienne said. "How else could I fight him? I'm OK. He caught me with a good punch."
With his new tattoo framing the left side of his face, Tyson showed some renewed determination in the ring.
A circus-like atmosphere enveloped the fight in the days leading up to it. Tyson, claiming to be suffering from the flu, canceled the fight on Monday only to wake up feeling better on Tuesday and deciding to fight.
Things got even better when Etienne staged a mini-boycott of his own before deciding that getting nearly $1 million to fight Tyson was too lucrative to pass up.
"I canceled too many fights in my career," Tyson said. "I wasn't afraid. He needed the money. I always need the money."
Oklahoma beats Texas in close-scoring game
The Associated Press
STILLWATER, Okla. — Victor Williams scored 20 points, including four big free throws in the closing seconds, and No. 16 Oklahoma held on to beat third-ranked Texas 82-77 on Saturday.
The Cowboys (20-5, 9-3 Big 12) had three players foul out and survived a career-high 32 points by T.J. Ford to end a two-game losing streak. They had also lost two in a row at home to Texas.
James Thomas had 21 points and 17 rebounds for the Longhorns (18-5, 9-3), who nearly erased a 15-point first-half deficit but came up just short.
Melvin Sanders scored 19 points and Tony Allen had 16 for Oklahoma State.
Williams scored 13 points in the first half when the Cowboys made nine three-point shots to twice lead by 15. He got his fourth foul at the 14:44 mark and sat for eight minutes, returning with Oklahoma State leading 68-58.
Ford, who seemed to go past defenders whenever he wanted, scored six points in a 9-0 run that got the Longhorns within 70-69 with 3:35 left.
Then Williams hit a three-point shot at the 3:06 mark to give Oklahoma State some breathing room.
Texas got within 76-73 on a tip-in by Thomas with 1:40 remaining, then made it 76-74 on a free throw by Ford with 50 seconds left.
Williams made two free throws for a 78-74 lead with 21 seconds to go, and after Ford missed a short jumper. Williams got fouled again and made both free throws with 8.6 seconds left.
Ford banked in a three-point shot with 3.4 seconds left and Cheyne Gadson sealed the victory with two free throws with 2.6 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys, who shot a season-low 28.6 percent and scored just 48 points in a loss to No. 5 Oklahoma on Wednesday night, had 47 points at halftime.
The Longhorns shot better than 50 percent in the first half but Oklahoma State outdid them, hitting 60.7 percent including 9-of-17 from three-point range as they consistently got open jumpers against the Texas defense.
So an SUV full of basketball players is driving around and around the Templin parking lot.

Mizzou loss to Colorado ends streak
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Missouri's continued struggles on the road mean an even stiffer battle for the Tigers down the regular-season stretch.
Ranked as high as No.11 this season. Missouri is unranked — and 2-6 on opponents' home courts after Saturday night's 89-68 loss at Colorado.
With four games left before the Big 12 Conference Tournament, Missouri is 16 overall and 7-5 — fifth place — in Big 12 play. The Tigers missed a chance on Saturday to widen their lead over Colorado, which moved to within one game of Missouri in the conference standings, after the Buffaloes broke an eight-game losing streak to the Tigers..
"Colorado played very well, but we're not as mature as we need to be," Missouri coach Quin Snyder said.
Snyder reacted angrily, though, to a reporter's question about how much of Missouri's road difficulties were his responsibility.
"Of course, I'm responsible," he said. "Why don't you come to our practices? I think my team fought. I don't know what game everyone was watching out there."
Forward Rickey Paulding said the team's shortcomings were not Snyder's fault.
"Coach Q, he does everything in the book," said Paulding, who led the Tigers with 22 points. "He goes beyond the call of duty to try to get us animated, to try to give us energy."
He couldn't shoot free throws for the Tigers. They went 11-for-24 from the line and had many key misses down the stretch.
"We were knocking on the door,but we could never really convert when we needed to," Snyder said. "If we would've converted a few from the line, it would've given us a lift."

Athlete faces protests for refusing to face flag
The Associated Press
PURCHASE, N.Y. — A Vietnam veteran came onto the court yesterday and held an American flag in front of Manhattanville senior forward Toni Smith after the Division III player again refused to face the flag during the national anthem.
"She disgraced herself and she disgraced the flag," said Jerry Kiley, 56, of Rockland County, N.Y., who was ejected from the arena after he walked onto the court during the first break in play.
Kiley approached Smith as she lined up while another player prepared to shoot free throws. He was escorted from the gym by school security and police. There were no further protests in Smith's final home game of the regular season, a 63-53 victory over Stevens Tech.
As she has done all season, Smith turned 90 degrees away from the flag as the anthem was played prior to tipoff. Six of her teammates stood at attention with their hands on their chests, while three other teammates stood with their heads bowed and their arms at their sides.
Smith declined to be interviewed after the game.
The sociology major previously released a 250-word statement outlining the reasons for her protest, citing "the inequalities that are embedded into the
American system" and "the war American will soon be entering."
Her protest is similar to one employed by NBA guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf of the Denver Nuggets during the 1995-96 season, which led to an indefinite suspension that was lifted two days later.
Athletes have periodically made political statements, from the black power salute at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics to Muhammad Ali's refusal to serve in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War.
Earlier this month, Dallas Mavericks guard Steve Nash of Canada wore an anti-war T-shirt to his interview session at the NBAs All-Star weekend.
"She wasn't political until she came to Manhattanville, but she's always had a sense of justice, and she's always been concerned with people who are discriminated against, and with the injustices in this country and in the world," said Smith's mother Naomi, a school administrator in Manhattan, where her daughter was raised along with two older siblings.
"Basketball has always been her passion, but she also reads the newspapers, and her professors have encouraged people to think for themselves," Smith's mother said.
Smith's protests have drawn national attention to the small liberal arts school in the suburbs
north of New York, a school of 1,400 students less than a mile away from the public university where the New York Knicks formerly practiced.
School president Richard Berman has been supportive of Smith's right to express her opinion, regardless of whether he or anyone else agrees or disagrees with her views.
First-year coach Shawn Lincoln has had to try to keep his team focused on basketball at a time when Smith's protest has caused discord in the locker room and provoked protests at several arenas.
He declined to comment on whether a collegiate playing field was an appropriate venue to express one's political views.
Before Thursday's game at Mount St. Mary, the student government handed out small flags. More than 500 people filled the small gym, jeered Smith at every opportunity and sang "God Bless America" at the end of the game.
When Manhattanville played at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy on Feb. 11, more than 300 flag-waving midshipmen greeted Smith with chants of "USA" and "Leave our country."
By comparison, yesterday's protest was mild. A handful of fans waving small flags were scattered among the crowd of about 200, and one 4-year-old boy wore a stars-and-stripes bandanna atop his head.
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Big 12 Conference commissioner Kevin Weiberg won't be one bit of help to his conference when the NCAA selection committee meets next month to decide who goes to the tournament—if the NCAA is telling the truth.
Buffs fight for NCAA berth
Most urgently, Colorado is running out of time to win a road game.
According to stated policy, members of the selection committee who are also conference commissioners must excuse themselves while their schools are discussed. In other words, the Big 12 is running out of time if it wants to get its sixth-place team in the NCAA tournament.
The Buffaloes (16-9, 6-6 Big 12) have been unbeatable at home. Colorado's six victories at Boulder include victories over Kansas, Texas and Missouri that are certain to turn selectors' heads.
Away from home, however, they're a dismal 0-6. Losses to lightweights such as Nebraska and Kansas State are sure to drag the Buffaloes profile down.
Nevertheless, as Colorado guard Blair Wilson said Saturday after scoring 26 points in an 89-68 whipping of Missouri, "We're pretty good when we get on a roll."
This is the week that Colorado must make its move. The Buffers have two road games in winnable
places — at Iowa State (13-10, 3-9) and Baylor (13-10, 4-8).
Without a doubt, the Buffers are the Big 12's most improved team.
Two road wins could clinch it for Ricardo Patton's team, which closes out the regular season at home against Oklahoma State (20-5, 9-3) and Nebraska (9-16, 1-11).
In demolishing Missouri on Saturday, Colorado tied a school record with its 10th straight home win. Besides Wilson's 26 points, three Buffs had double-doubles, led by Stephane Pelle's 18 points and 18 rebounds.
"Colorado played very well," Missouri coach Quinn Snyder said. "Ricardo Patton has done a terrific job with his team."
Cyclones snap four-game-skid
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State mens basketball's victory over Kansas State included yet another lesson for freshman Adam Haluska, who found he could help his team even when it seemed he'd never make another shot.
Haluska missed his first eight shots in Saturday's game, then came through at a critical time.
First, he drove the baseline for layup that put Iowa State ahead to stay with 2.23 left. Later, he went to the free throw line with 18 seconds remaining and sank both shots to secure the 64-61 victory.
"He really needed that." Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy said. "That was very impressive for him to be able to do that."
Haluska didn't go to the line thinking about redeeming himself. He had a more immediate concern.
"I wanted to get my hands dry first," he said with a laugh. "I was sweating so bad."
With good reason. Haluska played all 40 minutes. So did teammates Jake Sullivan and Tim Barnes as the Cyclones rallied from a 16point deficit early in the second half to hand Kansas State its 14th straight conference road loss.
had little depth because top reserve Marcus Jefferson was at home with his ailing mother in East Chicago, Ind. Eustachy used only six players.
Iowa State (13-10, 5-9 Big 12)
"We have a big concern about it, but we have to find a way to win." Eustachy said. "I thought we found a way to win."
By making both free throws, Haluska forced Kansas State into taking a 3-point shot to tie. The Cyclones had good pressure on Gilson DeJesus when he shot from out front, the ball hit the front of the rim and bounced away and Iowa State's four-game losing streak was over.

Top freshmen face off as Baylortops Kansas
By Shane Mettlen
smettlen@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Saturday's women's basketball matchup between Baylor and Kansas may have been a glimpse into the future of the Big 12 conference.
Some of the league's top freshmen clashed when the Lady Bears beat the Jayhawks 77-61 in Allen Fieldhouse. Baylor's highly touted freshman forward, Sophia Young, entered the game the Big 12's leading rebounder grabbing 9.6 boards a game and is the Lady Bears' second leading scorer at 12.8 points per game.
The reigning Big 12 Newcomer of the Week. Youngputin
12 points helping Baylor to victory. For Young, the important thing was helping her team rebound from a tough loss at Oklahoma State.
"We just came off a terrible loss," Young said. "We came with the intention that we really needed to win this game. We had a good practice to get us focused and I think all of us worked together to get back."
Despite the Baylor victory, two Kansas freshmen post players had impressive games of their own. Crystal Kemp scored 12 points and Tamara Ransburg led all scorers with a career-high 23 points to go along with nine rebounds.
Ransburg said she was pleased with Kansas' play in the
paint.
"The inside game was good this time," Ransburg said. "It feels good to go out there focused mentally, physically and just stay out of foul trouble."
Young said that matchup against Kansas and Ransburg will be an interesting challenge for the next three years.
"She is a really good player." Young said. "I think she has the potential to become a really great player. I think if I continue working hard and she continues working hard then we will be interesting players to see play against each other."

Freshman forward Nichelle Roberts attempts to block the shot of Baylor's Sophia Young.
Along with 18 points from Davis, the Bears were led by sophomore forward Steffanie Blackmon with 19 points. Blackmon spent a good portion of the second half on the bench with foul trouble, but the Bears' back-court picked up the slack. To complement Davis' long-range shooting, junior guard Jessika Stratton added 10 points.
Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg led the Jayhawk attack, scoring a career-high 23 points. Ransburg also finished with nine rebounds; one shy of a third consecutive double-double. Defensively, Ransburg's one blocked shot gave her 57 on the
year, which is the fourth-highest single-season total in Kansas history. Kansas assistant coach Lynette Woodard had 56 in 1979.
Also scoring in double figures were Becker, with 12, and freshman forward Crystal Kemp with 12 points each.
Becker's points came from beyond the three-point line, where she went 4-of-8. While long-range shooting is Becker's specialty, her focus when seeing the extended playing time was to be a defensive presence.
"I just take the opportunity that I got to get into the game today and put in out there defensively as much as I can and my shots just came to me." Becker said, "When they do start falling like that and you get into a rhythm, that's what I love, and that's the way I can
help my team best."
win only three games left in the regular season, the road does not get any smoother. Kansas' final three opponents will be Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State — all teams the Jayhawks have lost to this season. First up will be K-State at Bramlage Coliseum on Wednesday night. Washington said her team and coaching staff would do their best to face top-five competition and stay close.
"I am really looking forward to the game and so are the players," Washington said. "We will have a good game plan going in. We will have to stay very focused, and hopefully put ourselves into a situation where it will be a decent game."

Women earn third spot in Kansas track history
By Chris Wintering

Kansan sportswriter
Two Kansas women put their names in the Kansas track and field record book Saturday at the KSU Open in Manhattan.
Freshmen Abby Emsick and Angela Pichardo earned third places in Kansas history in their events.
Emsick finished second in the shot put with a throw of 49'03.50" and Pichardo won the 1,000-meter run with a time of 2:53.20.
Emsick said that she would have plenty of time to move up the record chart.
"I am taking small steps and hopefully I will achieve more and more as time progresses," Emsick said. "I hope to one day have that record."
Pichardo also said that she would have plenty of time to improve, but was more awed by how soon her record arrived.
"It is a major accomplishment coming from high school and then to a major university to do this." Pichardo said. "It is really shocking for me."
Pichardo was followed by junior Laura Lavoie, junior Arrah Nielsen and freshman Jenna Bimbi as the Jayhawks finished first through fourth in the race.
"That says a lot about our distance running at KU," Pichardo said. "We have a lot of depth and a number of very strong girls."
Other event winners at the KSU Open were sophomore Lauren Brownrigg in the mile with a time of 5:08.32 and senior Luke Steinbrink in the 600-yard run with a time of 1:12.09.
The men's and women's vertical jumpers and horizontal jumpers competed at
the Sooner Invitational Saturday in Norman, Okla.
The top finisher for the women's team was sophomore Sondra Rauterkus, who placed third in the high jump with a jump of 5'07". Senior Benaud Shirley came in second in the triple jump, leaping a season-best 50-01.75.
The Jayhawks will compete in the Big 12 Indoor Championships this weekend in Lincoln, Neb.
"It is very inspiring to have a performance like this right before the Big 12 Championships. It shows me that I can do it," Pichardo said.
Emsick said she thought her performance Saturday would give her confidence this weekend.
"It makes me a little nervous because now I have to top that throw, but it is a major boost in confidence for me right now," Emsick said. "That is really what I needed."
The men's team finished the indoor regular season 5-3 overall and 2-2 conference record, and the women's team finished 4-1 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 competitions.

Snow lessens number of donors
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As the snow continues to fall in Lawrence, so does the number of donors at this semester's Community Blood Center blood drive. The blood drive continues all this week at various locations on campus.
Cindy Schmiedeler, recruitment representative for the center, said bad weather could result in a bad turnout for the drive.
"We had similar weather last spring and we ended up with a slow turnout," she said.
goal, Schmiedeler said.
Beverly Kerbs, donor recruitment representative for the American Red Cross, said the drive reached its goal of 1.000 donors last fall. However, when bad weather struck last spring, the organization fell short of its goal by 140 donors. This semester the center has set the goal at 1.500 donors.
Midway through its first day, only about 30 people had donated blood. At that rate, the center wouldn't meet its
She said if the KU drive underproduces it could cause a shortage for the region. In that case, an emergency appeal would be enacted to attract blood donors.
To shift to emergency mode is more costly and less effective, Schmiedeler said.
"And when you say something is an emergency it tends to turn people off," she said.
Paula Paggi, Dallas junior, said she had no problem coming to the blood drive.
"I know some people have had trouble driving and that might cause them not to come," she said. "But I was sick last year and couldn't give blood, so I really wanted to come this time."
To counteract the weather the CBC is increasing advertising and prizes. Donors will get a KU T-shirt and a goodie grab bag. Fraternity, sorority, residence hall floors and scholarship halls with the
The center might not get any help from Mother Nature this week. According to the Topeka Weather Service, snow is expected today, tomorrow and Friday.

Donor Room Services member Daren Davies prepares Dayna Wise, Colorado Springs, Colo., freshman, to donate a pint of blood yesterday afternoon in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Wise, who has donated once before, said she was donating because her sorority, Chi Omega, would give her two study hours for donating and one study hour for working the drive. According to Davies, the average donor fills the pint in about 7 to 10 minutes. Michelle Wilson, Manager of Donor Recruitment for the Community Blood Center, said that there were two drives recruiting KU students this week, the Community Blood Center and the American Red Cross. "We each have a goal of 500 pints, a total of 1,000 for the week," Wilson said. The drive runs through Friday with rotating locations on campus.

From tagging kegs, to inspecting houses, members of the Lawrence City Commission make a myriad of decisions that affect the lives of KU students. Today, voters in Douglas County will have the chance to pare down the 11 candidates running for city commission to six. The finalists will face off for three commission seats in the general election, April 1.
Traditionally, turnout is low for primary elections, said Douglas County election clerk Marni Penrod.
"Twenty to 25 percent is a nice turn out for a city or school board primary," Penrod said.
Because of the low turnout in the 2001 primary, voters, who would cast ballots in Allen Fieldhouse, are asked to vote at St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road.

Center to be open after break
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The new $8 million Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center should open after spring break for athletes looking to buff up.
The 42,000-square-foot facility designed by HOK Sport and built by Turner Construction is near completion Gary Kempf said. Kempf Kansas assistant athletics director said only a few items needed finishing, including mirrors and flooring before opening after March 23.
Chris Dawson, new Kansas strength and conditioning coach, said the center would be one of the top weight facilities in the nation.
"I've been here for 10 days and I can't wait for the facility to open," Dawson said. "This weight room is up there with Notre Dame and Alabama's in terms of size."
Kansas recently hired Dawson after two years as strength and conditioning coach at Minnesota. Dawson said the new building was one of the reasons he moved to Kansas.
Algen Williams, HOK site representative, agreed with Dawson's assessment of the size.

Expansion of church irks neighbors
By John Domoney and Sarah Weber
editor@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
The parking garage for St. Lawrence Catholic Center will be completed in the middle of April and marks the end of another expansion project for the center. But this project has not come without controversy.
Faye Watson, a resident of 21 years in the University Heights neighborhood around the Catholic center, 1631 Crescent Road, said the center's expansion during the years had not pleased all the residents in the neighborhood.
"It was fine to have a student center in the neighborhood. It's now a total Catholic parish," she said.
The Catholic center began as a student center in 1972. The church began the first expansion 14 years later to transform the student center into an actual church.
The conflict escalated six months ago when the homeowners of the University Heights neighborhood organized the University Heights Neighborhood Association. Watson said the association formed because of the concern by the members of the neighborhood with the amount of construction taking place at the Catholic center.
The bell tower plan originally met the City of Lawrence's requirements to stand no taller than 35 feet.
The Rev. Vince Krische of St.
"We don't need an icon on the corner," said Watson referring to the bell tower. "It would be enough at 35 feet."
The Catholic center's decision to seek a variance to build the tower at 55 feet angered the association and brought the case to the Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals earlier this month.
A controversy surrounding the building of a bell tower has stoked the fire of the University Heights Neighborhood Association.
Lawrence has a different view of the bell tower.
"The tower is no big deal," Krische said. "I had no idea people would be concerned about it. It's traditional for churches to have some sort of tower that is taller than the sanctuary."
Tradition aside, the Board of Zoning Appeals ruled in its meeting Feb. 6 that the bell tower must meet city regulations and stand no taller than 35 feet.
At the Feb. 6 ruling, Les Hannon board vice chair, went so far as to describe the church's building plans as sneaky.

Tuition increase money now to cover shortages
The Board of Regents voted Thursday to allow state universities another option when dealing with money created by tuition increases.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the vote would not affect the University of Kansas.
"Both the chancellor and the provost said that they would stick by their initial plans," Bretz said. "We said last year that we would go with enhancement programs, and we will continue to stay with the same principles.
Originally, money from tuition increases was to be spent solely on new enhancement programs, but the money may now be used to cover shortages left by cuts in the state funding.
Dick Carter, Regents member, said universities would now have flexibility
with extra money from the tuition increase.

"All this does is allow management options to schools who may need to use the money to cover shortfalls," Carter said. "It is premature to draw any conclusions as to how this will affect the different universities."

Drug offenders to receive treatment, not prison time
TOPEKA — A Senate committee endorsed a bill yesterday mandating treatment rather than prison for some drug offenders.
Proponents of the committee-endorsed bill said the measure would free jail space for more violent criminals and avoid some future prison construction to accommodate more criminals.
Opponents questioned whether the public would be endangered by the release of people convicted of drug possession.
Sen. Greta Goodwin cited Sentencing Commission figures showing that about 1,200 of the 1,600 people sentenced for drug possession last year received probation, returning them to the community without any sort of jail time.
"To say we would have these people back on the streets — they're already there now," said Goodwin.

Student researches farming techniques

Shane McCall wants to cultivate trust with farmers in both Lawrence and third-world nations.
The two go hand-in-hand for McCall, Kansas City, Mo., senior, whose research on conventional and organic farming will help him when he joins the Peace Corps.
"I won't just be teaching them and saying. This is the reason you should do this," McCall said. "You have to make sense and be reasonable so they can trust you."
McCall said one work area for the Peace Corps focused on motivating farmers to develop better agricultural systems.
"They don't want people to use a lot of pesticides and fertilizers which cost a lot of money and they pollute." he said.
McCall's research on farms began this semester. He wants to apply this research of basic farming practices when he works with third-world farmers.
For his research, McCall conducted two-hour interviews with eight farmers in the Lawrence area.
Four of the eight farmers are
organic or nontraditional farmers who grow their products naturally without the assistance of synthetic chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
The other four are considered traditional farmers because they grow only one crop and use pesticides and fertilizers. They typically sell their crop through wholesale markets instead of straight to the consumer in farmer's markets like the organic farmer.
The main purpose for McCall's research was to discover why some farmers chose the organic route and others opted for traditional farming. McCall received a $500 Undergraduate Research Award for the spring of 2003.
Joey Sprague, associate professor of sociology and McCall's sponsor, said McCall's research would look at the circumstances farmers face that make traditional farming the easier option.
"I'm convinced that sustainable agriculture is vital to the future of our species. I think we need to be eating food free of pesticides and other kinds of chemicals that are not human-friendly." Sprague said.

About 60 KU students joined more than 1,000 African-American students from throughout the Big 12 and beyond. They converged in Norman, Okla., for the conference at the University of Oklahoma, said the organization's president, Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., junior.
Though the event had its share of logistical problems,the group's members had mostly positive feelings about their weekend.
Norman said that downtime at the conference offered a

unique opportunity for networking among African American students from other schools.
"There were a lot of instances at the hotel when we had hours to kill," she said. "So we all just hung out in the hall and started talking and there are people from Mizzou, other schools and you just get to chatting."
Kriston Guillot, Shawnee freshman, attended his first conference in Norman, and said it opened his eyes to the importance of communication between African-American student bodies at other campuses.
"There's an opportunity for us to unite and to find out what's going at these different schools," Guillot said. "You don't really understand what's going on on other campuses and you don't really understand what you're
doing on your campus until you network."
In addition to all the schools in the Big 12, universities not belonging to the conference also came to Norman.
Smaller schools offered a unique perspective to those in attendance, E.T. Thomas, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said.
"It was great to see people from smaller schools that aren't in the Big 12 come out, Thomas said. "Seeing their leadership is a positive thing."
As is tradition at the Big 12 conference, a new head of the conference's leadership board was named.
Dupree was named as the new head of the Big 12's Black Student Leadership board. Norman said that Dupree's appointment was a big step for the University.
"A lot of times some schools
get overlooked," Norman said. "KU doesn't have the largest numbers, so it's beautiful to see somebody from your school elevate to that position."
Dupree said that the University's ability to produce strong African-American leaders would only increase with additional University support.
"If KU would put more power behind their recruiting, I think KU would be more recognized than just I being the chair of the Big 12 conference of black student leadership," Dupree said.
The University has a 2.5 percent African American population.
"If we can produce this kind of leadership out of only 2.5 percent, imagine what it would be like if we had 8 percent," Dupree said.

Needed: funds for theater's 'Stage' project
The artistic director of theatre at the University of Kansas, John Staniunas, has presented a challenge to all theater and film students and plans to offer the same challenge to KU alumni, faculty staff and community.
Stanianas' challenge to students was in the form of an e-mail, which asked them to donate $6.32 each to raise funds for a third theater.
Members of the theater and film department have set a goal to raise $50,000 with the campaign, "Stage Too!"
Anyone who has enjoyed a performance at one of KU's theaters should assist with this goal.
Staniunas said the project had gone well, but he doesn't have an estimate on the amount of donations since the e-mail.
All responses have been positive. Staniumas said he had the support of students. He hopes by Sept. 1 the department will be able to purchase new bleachers for the theater.
The new theater is important to the theater and film department because it needs a space large enough to hold 300 to 500 people, a capacity larger than either of the current theaters.
The University has been helpful throughout the ongoing campaign. Staniunas said fundraising money for their own theater was a way for the department to show appreciation to KU for its support.
But money is scarce and donations may be the only way a new theater will ever become part of KU. A new theater will give another outlet to the theater students as well as provide more productions to the KU community.
As part of this community, students, faculty and staff should give what they can to make Stage Too! a success.

To preview or not to preview Why some events get publicity
COMMENTARY
Leah Shaffer
readersrep@hansan.com
After talking to a variety of student groups throughout the semester, one common question has come up at meetings: Why doesn't The University Daily Kansan preview more student-run events?
When I was a reporter, this issue also often came up. Student group members would call the newsroom, disappointed that the Kansan would cover their event only after it had occurred.
From their perspective, it would be better for a reporter to preview an event before it happened so more people would know about it and show up. To them, it just made sense that it was the student newspaper's job to shed light on what any student group was doing ahead of time.
Burhenn also said that the Kansan is also more likely to preview events when a large percentage of the student population would be interested, meaning more than 50 people could be involved.
They also said that they had seen the Kansan preview other events before, so why not theirs?
It's a fair question to ask, and sometimes, the answers are not clear cut. But generally, deciding which events get previewed comes down to the factors of timing and newsworthiness.
Michelle Burhenn, campus editor,
said that if a group wanted to see a story
That doesn't mean that a small group event will never get previewed, but it has to have a major news angle. Groups can have their events previewed in the paper without paying for advertising. It just doesn't show up as a full article.
Those groups can submit an upcom

ng event to be printed in the briefs section of the paper. Briefs are on the second page in smaller type, so many times it's hard to notice that they have been printed.
There is a practical reason for not writing full articles about upcoming events. Mainly, it is difficult for reporters to write interesting preview stories. A paper filled with nothing but upcoming events would lack substance.
For a group wanting a preview of a small event, sometimes it's just a matter of timing and luck.
This information shouldn't deter event organizers from coming to the newsroom with a story idea. The Kansan is open to hearing all ideas, but it is not possible to guarantee stories for every group.
If it's a slow news week, and a group member can catch up with a reporter who is looking for story ideas, that reporter will be more open to writing a preview story. There's nothing wrong with that, but it just can't happen all the time.
Shaffer is a Hays senior in journalism and environmental studies.
PERSPECTIVE
Attitude of American supremacy suffocates possibility for change
COMMENTARY
After Sept. 11, 2001, our leaders told us not to change our behaviors and values and stressed the importance of not wavering in the face of terror. The response by America was unprecedented, necessary and essential to the survival of the American spirit in those first crucial months.
Unfortunately, this attitude, when taken to extremes almost a year and a half after the attacks, prevents us from making any progress toward winning the war on terror. Change is exactly what we need right now.
PETER CLEMENS
Cooper Wood opinion@kansan.com
When people are so filled with fervent hatred that they are willing to sacrifice their own lives just to strike at a nation, making no strides to change those opinions and beliefs, ignores the root of the problem.
After Sept. 11, Americans of Middle-Eastern descent had to take extra measures to prove that they held the same beliefs as every other citizen. Signs proclaimed "God Bless America" in store windows and American flags waved outside of mosques.
Since then, little effort, if any, has been made to change attitudes about the United States in the eyes of the international community.
Bush was integral in diffusing backlash attacks upon Middle Easterners and Muslims. Attitudes changed and strides were made to befriend others, to understand where they came from and to come together as a nation with understanding.
And that is where the learning and changing stopped.
Since Sept. 11, American foreign policy has taken the attitude of unwavering
Recent debates among the United Nations and NATO about American foreign policy have only emphasized this policy-making machismo, as the current administration has repeatedly seemed to have its mind made up before consulting the rest of the group.
patriotism to the extreme. The United States will not waver, it will not falter and it will not fail in reminding the rest of the world that we are the only superpower, and we will do as we please.
France and Germany seem more miffed about the lack of consultation and the callous disregard for global opinion than they are staunchly against action to remove Saddam.
Ignoring the attitudes and opinions behind the opposition to a war in Iraq is just as bad as the failure of the Americans to address and attempt to change the attitudes and opinions driving the global hatred of the United States. Without an approach of understanding, violence will remain the only solution for government and terrorist alike.
People who call Bush a terrorist and people who call those who oppose the war unpatriotic pansies are part of the problem. Neither of those arguments
are true, and when that goes on, in the Free for All especially, it makes this collegiate community seem like nothing better than a bunch of name-calling 6-year-olds.
These comments are not promoting understanding or academic debate. They are insensitive putdowns that leave the discussion at the starting line.
Name-calling and finger-pointing are no substitutes for learning about different cultures, discussing what should be done with some semblance of civility and getting to the bottom of the attitudes behind these problems. There is no learning going on with these arguments today.
True progress in the debate on Iraq, especially regarding winning the war on terror, will only be made when liberals and conservatives can both stop talking past each other, and start talking together.
Now that may sound like a corny piece of liberal crap, but it's the truth. All involved — whether that be the Bush administration, those opposed to his policies, or students in the middle — need to stop calling names and start taking action.
After we learn how to talk with each other again, perhaps we can start learning how to talk with those whom we most desperately need to understand. Otherwise, terrorism will outlast Al Qaeda, Saddam and even the United States.

Necessity leads to fluency
Student's uncommon native tongue results in multinlingualism
By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Marianne Hovgaard knows how it feels to learn a new language. It's only been a few years since she did so herself.
Hovgaard, a graduate student from Denmark, teaches Danish at the University of Kansas.
She came to the University with a Danish exchange program after she traveled to Indiana for a study abroad program in high school.
Because Danish is Hovgaard's native language, she said she was confident she could answer any question asked in class. In addition to English and Danish, she also speaks German and French.
"Ihad to learn other languages, because who's going to learn
Hovgaard speaks English fluently with almost no hint of a Danish accent. She hides it so well that some people have thought she was an American pretending to be a foreigner.
Danish to talk to me?" she said.
"At first, I thought she was a U.S. native like the rest of us," said Sadie Robb, Paola freshman. "I was mad that she wasn't from Denmark. I didn't even realize that English wasn't her native language."
The size of her Danish class four students allows her to tailor the class to fit students' needs and keep their attention.
"Language classes at KU are too big." Hovgard said. "It's way too easy for students to hide with 28 to 32 other students in the class."
While a four-person class gives students one-on-one attention, Robb said the setup was less than perfect.
"Being a part of such a small class puts lots of pressure on students not to slack off," Robb said. "I don't want to be the only one in

Besides meeting five days a week for Danish class, the Danish speaking community at the University meets on Sundays for Danish Table. The event is an opportunity for Danish students to meet at a coffee shop and speak Danish or gather to watch a Danish movie.
Hovgaard said her ability to speak other languages would open opportunities because she's broken the language barrier.
After she graduates with her master's in business administration, she said she would be willing to take a job anywhere in Europe.

Award recognizes, honors outstanding women
By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is looking for a few good women.
"Women have made many strides to achieve greater equity."
The Commission on the Status of Women and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center are seeking nominations for outstanding KU women for annual awards that will honor women students, faculty, staff and alumnae who have made contributions to the campus and community.
said Katherine Rose-Mockry, director of the KU Women's Recognition Program and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. "But still they have further to go."
Rose-Mockry said all recipients of the award received a certificate, but only student recipients of the award received a monetary prize worth more than $200.
Anyone can make a nomination, but Rose-Mockry said students were responsible for choosing the winners.

Writer sojourns to 'golden land' of his father
By Erin Ohm
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The atmosphere matched the tone at Oread Books in the Kansas Union late yesterday afternoon.
Sun slanted through the windows looking out over Campanile hill as a group of 20 people listened to author Kim Stafford remember the literary legacy left by his father, poet William Stafford, a graduate of the University of Kansas.
Stafford sang a song he wrote and read excerpts from his book about his father, Early Morning: Remembering My Father, William Stafford, as he described their relationship and the impact his father had on his life.
William Stafford, born in Hutchinson, often spoke of Kansas, said Kim Stafford.
"Many of our conversations in my childhood would arrive at some comparison to Kansas," Stafford said. He said his return to the University was "a pilgrimage to visit the golden land" that his father often spoke of.
Stafford said he thought many aspects of his father's character were formed at the University. While here, William Stafford had a job typing notecards for geological samples in the geology department that paid 35 cents per hour.
Stafford also said it was during his father's time at the University that he decided to become a poet.
William Stafford received his

bachelor's and master's degrees from the University and moved to Portland, Ore., to teach at Lewis & Clark College. William Stafford raised Kim in Portland.
William Stafford wrote 67 volumes of poetry and prose and won the National Book Award in 1963 for his first major collection of works, Traveling Through the Dark. William
Stafford also served as poet laureate, a poetry consultant to the Library of Congress, in 1970.
Kim Stafford has continued his father's literary tradition. He has written 12 books of poetry and prose and is founder and director of the Northwest Writing Institute at Lewis & Clark College in Oregon.
Kim Stafford said he knew he loved writing because school writing assignments always seemed too small. He wanted to say more.
"A writer is someone who has discovered a process," Stafford said. "And in going through that process you find things to say that you hadn't thought of before."
Stafford said his book about his father was how he dealt with the grief he felt at his father's death.
"I have very little patience with grief alone," Stafford said. "So I turned it into a creative, constructive work."
Lucia Orth, a Lawrence resident who attended the reading and book signing, said she had enjoyed Stafford's book.
"It really humanizes him," Orth said. "It shows all the warts."
Sabrina Channel, a Springfield, Mo., senior, said she had heard about the reading in one of her classes and dropped by because she was in the area.
"It's the kind of writing that makes you feel the warm fuzzies." Channel said.
The KU Libraries and Oread Books sponsored the reading.

University budget cuts affect ethnic studies
The Associated Press
WICHITA—Budget cuts have forced Wichita State University to lay off the only Hispanic teacher in its ethnic studies department, which may not have any Hispanic classes next fall.
Ethnic studies programs at Kansas State University and the University of Kansas are also tightening their budgets.
Martha Sanchez has taught for 14 years at Wichita State. The three classes she teaches will most likely be eliminated after she leaves in the summer, leaving the department with no Hispanic classes unless it can find a teacher to teach them for less money.
A 3.9 percent cut ordered by Gov. Bill Graves in November
translated into a $2.6 million loss for Wichita State, a $9.3 million loss for Kansas, and a $6.3 million loss for Kansas State.
Of the 467 faculty members at Wichita State, 56 are minorities; seven are Hispanic or Latino. Wichita's Hispanic population doubled in the last decade to a little over 33,000.
Kansas State's department, which serves 800 students a year, operates on a $10,000 budget used primarily for programming events. Juanita McGowan, director of Kansas State's American Ethnic Studies Department, said the budget this year was cut by $500.
"For a low-budget program, that's like losing $10 million," she said.

Accidents pile up with snow
Kansans were digging out yesterday from a fast-moving Sunday storm that left a foot or more of snow in some parts of the state.
There were hundreds of accidents statewide, with four traffic deaths reported. Portions of some highways were closed, and many schools canceled classes.
Snowfall totals ranged up to around 15 inches in some areas along the Oklahoma border. Wichita had just over 10 inches of snow, making it the ninth heaviest snowstorm to hit the city since it began keeping records in 1888.
Because the storm came at the end of the weekend, there were few traffic disruptions or serious injuries from traffic accidents in
the Wichita area, officials said.
Only traces of precipitation lingered in scattered areas yesterday morning. The possibility for light snow or flurries remained in the forecast statewide yesterday and in the south half of the state last night.
However, much colder weather followed the storm into the state, with highs mostly in the teens forecast yesterday and readings expected to drop below zero in the northeast last night.
Eugene K. Wilson, 82, and Mattie W. Wilson, 81, of Galena, died Sunday afternoon in a Cherokee County crash. The Kansas Highway Patrol said that their vehicle slid off the side of ice Kansas 26 in Galina and landed on its top in a creek.

In Miami County, a 45-year-old woman from Belton, Mo., died in a crash at U.S. 69 and Kansas 68. Investigators said her car crossed the center line and struck an oncoming vehicle.
Northern winds and gusts near 45 mph caused blowing and drifting snow and blizzard conditions throughout large sections of southwest Kansas. Jim Johnson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Dodge City, said another round of snow is expected midweek, with bitterly cold temperatures until then.
Local stylist selected for competition
Jennings has been invited to braid hair at the 2004 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Atlanta from Jan. 3-11, 2004.
LAWRENCE — The way things are going, Debra Jennings might have to change her nickname from Braider Deb to the Skater Braider.
The Associated Press
More than 150 skaters from across the United States will compete at the event, known to skaters simply as "Nationals." The best of the best will qualify for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.
"I feel lucky." Jennings said of the invitation. "I feel real fortunate."
Seven years ago, a girl's skating team called from Oklahoma, where Jennings had braided hair at the Muskogee Ren Fest. They wanted her to braid their hair when they traveled to Kansas City for their next competition.
That was the beginning of her skater braiding career.
Word spread, and she's now braiding hair at competitions in six states. Skaters call her by name; Braider Deb.
"I love the girls. It's like your family just keeps enlarging," Jennings said. "If they win a medal, they always come back and say, 'I think it's because of the hair.'"
PLAY IT AGAIN
SPORTS
After all, appearances count in figure skating.
"Hair's a really big thing. They're real perfectionists. The girls like to go out there feeling like they're on top of the world. They just do a better job when they're from head to toe perfect," Jennings said. "The judges look at it as well."

Nightclub disasters incite inspections
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Fire departments have launched a flurry of inspections of bars and concert halls around the country in response to two nightclub tragedies in the span of a week.
The result of the heightened safety was seen early Sunday when inspectors evacuated the second floor of a Chicago club after finding overcrowding, blocked exits and other problems. A week earlier in Chicago, 21 people were trampled to death at the E2 nightclub.
In Salem, Ore., a rock band
competition was canceled after an inspection revealed the venue didn't meet fire and building codes.
And other cities,including Dallas and Kansas City,Mo.,put more inspectors on duty and kept them out until the early hours Saturday and Sunday,when clubs are most crowded.
The wave of inspections closely followed the deaths of 97 people late Thursday in a West Warwick, R.I., nightclub, where a rock band's pyrotechnics ignited the ceiling tiles and quickly engulfed the nightclub and its trapped patrons in flames.
Fire officials across the country
said Sunday that they were finding clubgoers almost everywhere were more aware of their surroundings than usual—and more willing to report problems.
"We've seen a sharp increase in the number of reported overcrowdings," even though most didn't prove to be problems, said Brian Humphrey, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.
More people than usual also called Chicago authorities to complain about clubs there, said Chief Kevin MacGregor, a department spokesman.
Kansas City's fire department which typically conducts inspections during the week, sent four teams of investigators to 54 establishments on Friday night and Saturday morning. In Dallas, the city fire department, which now has two full-time nightclub inspectors, pledged to temporarily add a second two-member team to search for safety violations.
Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street announced Sunday that the city's approximately 200 nightclubs would face emergency inspections in the next 60 days. Massachusetts' governor on Friday ordered similar inspections statewide.
Cancer-causing substance more prevalent
The Associated Press
BELTSVILLE, Md. — French fries and potato chips have been dubbed villains when it comes to a possibly cancer-causing substance, but Americans get a lot of the chemical from everyday nutritious staples, government scientists said yesterday.
Administration concluded.
Fries and chips contain more of the substance, called acrylamide, but foods with low acrylamide levels that are eaten more frequently than junk food have a big impact on the U.S. population's overall exposure to the possible carcinogens, the Food and Drug
Don't change your diet, FDA scientists stressed, especially because no one knows if acrylamide really poses a cancer risk.
Removing it from a single-food type would nudge overall exposure down by less than a quarter, the FDA's computer model estimated.
Acrylamide made headlines last spring when Swedish scientists discovered that it forms in french fries, potato chips and other high-carbohydrate foods cooked at high temperatures.
raw ingredients fried or baked in a home kitchen. It forms when a naturally occurring amino acid called asparagine is heated to high temperatures with certain sugars such as glucose.
Acrylamide forms during traditional cooking methods, whether from ready-made foods or from
Potatoes are especially rich in both asparagine and glucose and thus produce lots of acrylamide when fried or baked.
Many other foods contain acrylamide, and the longer they're cooked, the more of the chemical is formed. Soft bread contains little, but toasting that bread more than quadruples acrylamide.
seven foods probably account for most of the population's exposure. Fries and chips had the highest levels, from 16 to 48 micrograms per serving. Other foods made the list with lower levels because people eat much of them;
The FDA, using national diet studies, estimated yesterday that
Toast, at 9.8 micrograms per
Breakfast cereal, 7.3 micrograms
grams.
Cookies, 6:6 micrograms
Coffee, 2 micrograms.
Other foods may prove equally important as more are measured for acrylamide, the FDA advisers cautioned. For example, pizza has yet to be tested.
Beachcombers find more than shells on coast

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Enough soggy Nike basketball shoes to outfit every high school team in Alaska are driving through the Pacific Ocean toward the state after spilling from a container ship off Northern California.

"Nike forgot to tie the laces, so you have to find mates," said Cur
"Nikes will be soon in your neck of the sea."

tis Ebbesmeyer, an oceanographer in Washington state who tracks flotsam. "The effort's worth it because these Nikes have only been adrift a few months. All
33. 000 are wearable."
A beachcomber told Bebesmeyer about the shoe spill after finding two new Nikes washed up on Washington's Olympic Peninsula on Jan. 9 and 16. Unfortunately, they were sizes 10 1/2 and 8 1/2. Both were left.
Research by Ebbesmeyer confirmed that a ship lost cargo Dec. 15 during a storm, including three 40-foot containers carrying an estimated 5,500 pairs of shoes each.
"Nikes will be soon in your neck of the sea," Ebbesmeyer said in an e-mail to the Anchorage Daily News last week.
Over the past decade, Ebbesmeyer has tracked 29,000 duckies, turtles and other bathtub toys; 3 million tiny Legatos; 34,000 hockey gloves; and 50,000 Nike cross-trainers that went overboard in the Pacific in 1999.
AIDS vaccine fails in first major test
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO - The failure of an experimental AIDS vaccine in its first major test has shattered hopes of developing a shield against infection in the near future and demonstrated just how far scientists are from bringing the disease under control.
The drug's developer, Vaxgen Inc., said that overall there was no meaningful difference in protection between the 3,330 volunteers who
Still, the results made public yesterday contained an intriguing finding: The vaccine appeared to work well in the small number of blacks who participated. Scientists said more study is needed to draw any conclusions.
received the genetically engineered vaccine and the 1,679 volunteers who received a placebo. All participants were at high risk of contracting the disease through sex.
Officials had been willing to give the drug approval even if it worked in just one in three people.
"The AIDS virus is really wily and mutates easily," said Dr. Tom Coates, director of the AIDS Research Institute at the University of California at San Francisco.
Dozens of companies, universities and researchers are racing to develop their own vaccines. Among them: Merck & Co., GlaxoSmithKline and Aventis Pasteur. But none of those projects is considered as advanced as Vaxgen's.
Father shoots child for throwing a snowball
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A man whose daughter was hit with a snowball by a group of girls returned to the scene and opened fire with a gun, critically wounding a 10-year-old youngster, police said.
Joseph Best, 52, was arrested yesterday and jailed on charges including attempted murder.
The victim was in critical condition with a head wound.
Best's daughter was hit with a snowball as she and her friends walked past a group of girls having a "friendly snowball fight" Sunday, police Capt. Charles Bloom said.
A scuffle then broke out among the dozen or so girls, who ranged in age from 10 to 15. The groups
soon parted ways, but Best returned with an older daughter and another brawl erupted, this time between adult relatives of both groups, Bloom said.
Police broke up that fight, but said Best came back again hours later, leaned out the passenger side of a moving car and fired at least five shots into the group of children still playing on the street. Authorities were trying to determine who was driving.
Police said the girl who was shot had been inside during the scuffles.
"This little girl had nothing to do with anything. She wasn't involved in the fight," Bloom said. "He just seemed to be randomly shooting into the crowd."
It could not be immediately determined if Best had a lawyer.

In the area on the south end of the building athletes can gain strength and quickness through using the stairs, stadium stairs and a 28-degree ramp. Those facilities give the athletes an opportunity to work out indoors, Williams said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Williams, a former Kansas football player, said the stadium stairs used a rubber mulch made of recycled tires that added to the workout, while keeping the athlete's legs as safe as possible.
Downstairs will be the weight room, which will include $560,000 of new equipment. The equipment will be moved in over spring break. Downstairs also includes showers with areas for athletes to store bags when working out. Offices for the strength coaches also are located downstairs.
Athletes will use the upstairs as a cardiovascular area. The 8,000-square-foot field will be covered with synthetic turf. Also upstairs are two classrooms book-ended by two conference rooms on the end.
Kempf said that the conference rooms would ease pressure on trying to find somewhere to hold meetings.
"A lot of times all our meeting rooms are scheduled," Kempf said. "We don't have any place to go, so this has been a great addition."
In the lobby area, athletes will be greeted by a 9.5 foot by 10.5 foot Jayhawk hanging from the wall.
Overall, Kempf said he was satisfied with the progress of the building and proud of the facility as a whole.
"If you can't get strong in here, you can't get strong period," Kempf said.
so concentrated," Krische said.
Some residents of the neighborhood agree.
Edited by Leah Shaffer
John Stien recently became a homeowner in the neighborhood. He does not understand what all the fuss is about over the bell tower.
Stien said only a limited number of residents would have a
view of the 55-foot tower.
"I don't know why it is such a problem to extend the height of the tower since there are taller structures around the neighborhood such as dorms, elevators, water towers and utility poles," Stien said.
Watson understands that not every resident of the neighborhood is backing the case
against the church, but she made it clear that the issue is grounded in rules and regulations.
"It's not an issue of religion," Watson said. "It's a matter of zoning and integrity for the neighborhood."

Sophomore leads team
Brandon Baker/Kansan
KANSAS

In her short time at the University, sophomore guard Blair Waltz has proven herself a fierce competitor and team leader. "I strive for that, I strive to be in the leadership position," said Waltz. "I came to this school because I knew we was going to be put in this position."
Waltz subjects herself to heavy workload wants to win championships for Jayhawks
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
At 8:30 yesterday morning, most University of Kansas students were tucked away snug in their beds, silently dreading another week of classes.
Not Blair Waltz.
The sophomore guard was recovering from a harsh 5 a.m. practice following her team's 77-61 loss to Baylor on Saturday. The day would only get worse for Waltz.
She not only had class, but also weightlifting with the team and individual meetings with coaches. It may seem like a heavy workload, but it's something Waltz has been used to since high school.
Just like it is now, almost all of her time in high school was dedicated to athletics. Waltz, who attended Blue Valley North High School, was a three-sport standout. Besides basketball, she was also recruited by schools to play softball and volleyball.
"It was a really tough decision coming out of high school not knowing what you wanted to do," Waltz said. "It was a really stressful time for me, but in the end I think it turned out OK."
Waltz opted for the proximity and tradition that Kansas brought, but meeting coach Marian Washington was what pushed her over the top.
"Coach Washington stood out more than any coach that came into my home," Waltz said. "She's an unbelievable person, she's just like a mom."
For Waltz, her first season at Kansas was a transition. In high school, she played on powerhouse teams with three other players who moved on to Big 12 Conference competition. Going from the top of the rankings to an 0-16 conference record at Kansas was challenging but beneficial.
"It was a change and it was a very good learning experience for me," Waltz said. "After that season, after Ive
"Coach asks you why are you coming to Kansas. You need to say that you're coming to go to school, get an education and win championships."
Blair Waltz Sophomore guard
had my ups and downs, I feel like I can conquer and do anything I want."
"I strive for that. I strive to be in the leadership position," Waltz said. "I came to this school because I knew I was going to be in this position."
Waltz has also been a leader by example in game situations. She has played through both the stomach flu and severe back pain this year.
"I'd go to war with my team," Waltz said. "During the Colorado game, I was for sure not going to play, but then a minute before the game was about to start, I was like 'screw it, I'm gonna try.'"
In the game, Waltz made a valiant effort despite a bad back, but was only able to play two minutes.
Waltz knows that her teammates support her the way that she supports them. However, she has another form of support both at home games and on the road—her parents.
John and Marlene Waltz have made the commitment to their daughter to be at every game since high school. They have made trips to everywhere from Manhattan to Puerto Rico. When at Allen Fieldhouse, they occupy the same two seats every game across from the Kansas bench.
"We always sit here just so she does not have to look for us," Marlene said.
For Blair, having family at every game is never a mental distraction, but provides more of a comforting feeling.
"During the national anthem, I'll look over at my mom and she'll smile," Waltz said. "It's just incredible to come after every game out of the locker room no matter where we are and see them."
Even though the team is still fledgling in the Big 12 standings, Waltz has her goals set high for the next few years.
"I want a national championship, period," Waltz said. "Coach asks you why are you coming to Kansas. You need to say that you're coming to go to school, get an education and win championships. I think we're very capable if we keep working hard and working together."

Softball team takes victories in tourney

Despite going 3-2 in the Softball by the Beach Tournament, the Jayhawks are off to their best start under the reigns of coach Tracy Bunge.
In the Jayhaws (10-3) first victory in Santa Barbara, Calif., Kansas upended CalPoly San Luis Obispo 6-0 on Friday and gave Bunge her 200th win as Kansas coach. Junior pitcher Kara Pierce threw her third consecutive shutout in the contest.
Later on Friday, it was Kansas on the losing side of a 4-3 outcome against the University of California - Santa Barbara as the layhawks were plagued by costly fielding errors.
On Saturday, Kansas had a clean sweep with the Utah team, defeating it 6-3 and then defeating Brigham Young University 4-2.
Against Utah, Kansas was able to light up the scorecard and recorded 10 hits in the game. Three of those were by sophomore first baseman Lindsey Weinstein who went 3-for-3. Senior pitcher Kirsten Milhoan got the victory, giving her an overall record of 3-1.
In the BYU contest, the Cougars managed to get two runs off of Pierce—the first time a team was able to do so in 22 innings. Offensively, the 'Hawks posted eight hits, five of them coming in the fourth inning.
Kansas capped off their stay in Santa Barbara by losing to San Diego State 2-1 on Sunday. Pierce only gave up two unearned runs late in the ninth and tenth innings. That proved to be all the Aztecs needed to average their earlier 6-3 loss to Kansas a week before in the Campbell/Cartell Tournament in San Diego. Pierce fell to 7-2 on the year.
The Jayhawks will be next in action a couple of thousand miles away in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to participate in the Crimson Classic from Feb. 28 to March 2.

Youngsters to dominate draft
Hinrich, Collison few seniors who will be available in June when NBA teams make picks
From high school phenom LeBron James, to Syrcacuse's fantastic freshman Carmelo Anthony, or to 17-year-old Yugoslavian big man Darko Millicic, this year's NBA draft will be based on teenagers going in the first few picks. Even though the market for seniors is not as dense as it used to be, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich will be making some noise.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
This is a rough NBA scouting report that I have compiled on Kansas's favorite seniors, plus where they could be headed.
Kirk Hinrich
The Specs: In the NBA, Hinrich will most likely earn his living playing point guard. His ball-handling skills and tenacity when attacking the hoop make him a potent playmaker. Hinrich, who has not been Kansas's starting point guard since his sophomore year, will have to play the position as a pro because of his size. At 6 feet 3 inches, Hinrich would have defensive troubles against the league's bigger shooting guards like Trace McGrady and Kobe Bryant.
Hinrich's all-around ability makes him a solid first-round selection right now. Teams looking for point guards are mostly in the Eastern conference. Hinrich would be a perfect fit for a team like New York or Boston. In either franchise, he would be the glue that would help tie together a group of potent scorers.

Greene's Pick: I see Hinrich going out

west to Utah.
Second-year forward Andrei Kirilenko is a Dirk Nowitzki-type big man who can shoot the outside jumper or bang inside. Matt Harpring is a veteran forward who is starting to come into his own at the small forward position.
The Jazz's veteran duo of Karl Malone and John Stockton is on its last leg, and they will most likely not play for more than another year. When the two retire, they will not be leaving the organization bare in terms of talent.
With their first-round selection, Utah has to address finding the heir to John Stockton. True, Hinrich may never be the NBA player that Stockton has been for so long, but he would fit the mold in Utah.
The Specs: There will be many power forwards selected ahead of Collison in the draft. Most of those guys, however, are foreign teenagers and underclassmen who are all drafted based on potential. The one idea that may hurt Collison is the fact that most scouts will feel he has reached his full potential.
Others taking notice: New Orleans, Washington, Seattle, Boston, New York, Portland and Denver.
Nick Collison
Collison has the most polished array of post moves compared to any other forward in the draft. Not only has he proven he can consistently score against elite competition, but he has shown that he can bang inside with the best for rebounds over the course of his KU career.
Greene's Pick: I see Collison landing in Detroit. I see him slipping out of the lottery-range, but he will still be a mid-to-late first-rounder. Detroit has not had a consistent low-post scoring threat in a long time, and putting Collison in the power forward slot will allow the NBA's top defender, Ben Wallace, to play center permanently. The advantage Collison brings to a team like Detroit is that he can come in and start right away.
The Pistons are in dire need of an inside offensive threat to complement Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups on the perimeter. If Collison were to land in Detroit, he would be setting himself up for a solid career in the pros.
Others taking notice: Minnesota,
Philadelphia, New Orleans and Atlanta.
Collison seems very comfortable in the half-court set both offensively and defensively, which will bode well for him in the NBA, but he can also be effective in a fast-break style of play.
No matter where Collison and Hinrich show up on the draft board in June, both are looking at satisfying and lucrative professional careers. Whether they land in a situation where they start right away or have to ride the bench, once their opportunities present themselves, these two will be more than prepared to perform.

Tennis loses twice in N.M. competition
Lobos dominate singles, Pioneers clinch doubles altitude impairs Kansas

Kansan sportswriter
Coach Kilmeny Waterman said altitude played a big role in the losses.
The first road trip for the No. 46 Kansas tennis team proved unsuccessful with losses to the Denver Pioneers on Saturday, 4-3, and to the New Mexico Lobos Sunday, 7-0, in Albuquerque, N.M.
"The altitude change got us off to a slow start and we lost the doubles point," Waterman said. "As we started to adjust and get better spin on the ball, we tried to play catch up in singles, but it was too little too late. Denver came out much more energized than us."
Kansas lost matches at No.1 doubles and No.2 doubles resulting in the loss of the crucial doubles point. No.3 doubles freshman Luiza Loureiro teamed with freshman Christine Skoda to defeat Stephanie Ginsburg and Rossi Thomas 8-6 with the sole doubles victory.
In singles play, junior Courtney Steinbock started strong at the No. 1 singles position by winning the first set. Steinbock then dropped the next two sets and the match to Yanick Dullens 0-6, 6-3, 7-5.
Junior Emily Haylock earned the

first victory at No. 3 singles with a straight set win over Jenny Trettin 6-4, 7-6 (9-7). Skoda followed by
beating Barbara Kourim 6-2, 7-5 at the No.4 position. Lorenz was the third and final victory for the Jayhawks at No.5 singles with a comeback win against Ginsburg 1-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Kansas could not bounce back Sunday against the Lobos.
Waterman made a line-up change from the usual combination of Courtney and Kristen Steinbock.
"It was hard keeping balls in play because of the altitude." Brown said. "We could have played a lot better but we just need to get rested up for the matches this weekend."
At No. 2 doubles Kristen Steinbock teamed with Skoda and lost to Maria Ruiz-Fabrega and Rachel Hatley 8-5. Tiffany Robertson and Michelle Heidbrink defeated Haylock and Loureiro at No. 3 doubles 8-4.
Kansas could not manage a victory in singles play against the Lobos.
Courtney Steinbock jumped out early but could not sustain and lost to Kovacek 2-6, 6-2, 6-3. Kansas dropped to 3-3 overall and 0-1 in the Big 12. The team travels to Iowa Friday to face the Hawkeyes. It will then play the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday. The team plays Sunday against the Ohio State Buckeyes in Topeka.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
Joey Berlin jberlin@kansan.com
Slow down to overcome pesky Sooners
Roy Williams is probably wondering what his basketball team has to do to beat Kelvin Sampson's Oklahoma Sooners. If he's going to face them again this season, in the Big 12 or the NCAA Tournament, Williams will have to try something different, like changing his team's style of play
Oklahoma's 77-70 whipping of Kansas on Sunday was a carbon copy of the Sooners' 64-55 victory in the Big 12 Tournament Championship game last year, with Kansas again erasing much of a huge deficit only to fall short.
With a Big 12 best 60.2 points allowed per game, the Sooners are one of the most aggressive defensive teams in the country. It's that aggressiveness that kills the Jayhawks. Other teams don't defend Kansas the way Oklahoma does. Baylor, Holy Cross, the EA Sports All-Star: teams like that are terrified of what Kirk Hinrich or Nick Collison will do if their defenders overplay and lose them. So the teams play reactive, rather than proactive, defense. They let Collison catch the ball 8 feet from the basket and hope he'll miss a baseline jumper or get fouled and clank another free throw. They allow Hinrich to catch passes on the perimeter, scared of what he'll do if they go for a steal and miss.
Sampson doesn't let his teams do any of that. Oklahoma gets in your face before you even get the ball. The Sooners contest every pass and every shot. They clog the lane and force errors.
The most impressive success of the team with a reputation for playing slow, ugly basketball is when the Sooners get back in transition, short-circuiting fast break opportunities. It's the type of defensive play Kansas doesn't face all season. And because it has killed the Jayhawks twice in a row, Williams and his staff should take notice.
If Kansas has to meet Oklahoma again this year, Williams can't try to beat the Sooners playing the Jayhawks' usual up-and-down style. It's failed twice in a row, and because this group of Sooners is so good at getting back on defense, it's likely to fail again.
Instead, if they face Oklahoma again, the Jayhawks need to play Sooner basketball. Grind it out. Play slow. Dig out some of the half-court set plays Williams learned at North Carolina. Set screens, double screens, back screens — anything that can yield open, uncontested shots. As we've seen, no one contests shots like the Sooners.
It would take some practice for Kansas to get used to slowing the game down, and it wouldn't guarantee victory. But the result would definitely beat watching aborted fast breaks and trailing by 32.

Arizona continues as No.1 team
The Associated Press
Arizona and Kentucky were 1-2 in The Associated Press college basketball poll for a second straight week yesterday, while Memphis entered the Top 25 for the first time this season.
It was the third week in a row and 11th time this season the Wildcats (21-2) have been ranked No. 1. Arizona beat Arizona State 92-72 in its only game last week and received 58 first-place votes and 1,786 points from the national media panel.
Kentucky (22-3), which beat Arkansas and Mississippi State last week to extend the nation's longest winning streak to 16 games, was No.1 on 14 ballots and had 1.741 points.
For the 10th straight week, the top five changed.
Oklahoma, which beat Kansas in a matchup of Nos. 5 and 6, moved up two spots to third. Florida, which won in overtime at Vanderbilt, jumped three places to No.4.
Texas, which lost to Oklahoma State on Saturday, fell from third to fifth and was followed in the Top 10 by Duke, Kansas, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Marquette. The Golden Eagles moved up one place to No. 10, their first appearance in the Top 10 this season.
Louisville (19-4) doubled its loss total last week by dropping games to Memphis and Cincinnati and fell from No. 4 to No.
11, ending its run of five weeks in the Top 10. The Cardinals reached as high as No. 2 then dropped when their 17-game winning streak was snapped by Saint Louis.
Wake Forest was 12th and was followed by Xavier, Maryland, Syracuse, Oklahoma State, Creighton, Illinois, Stanford and Mississippi State.
The last five ranked teams were Georgia, Utah, California, Memphis and Dayton.
Memphis (18-5) moved into the poll on a seven-game winning streak, including last week's 80-73 win over Louisville, the Cardinals' first home loss of the season. The Tigers were ranked for the first four polls last season.
Purdue (16-8) fell out after one week in the poll for the second time this season. The Boilermakers, who were ranked 24th, lost to Michigan and Ohio State last week and have lost four of five.
Memphis' appearance gives Conference USA three ranked teams (Marquette, Louisville), meaning six leagues have at least that many schools in the Top 25. The Southeastern Conference and Big 12 both have four ranked teams, while the Pac-10, Atlantic Coast Conference and Big East also have three.
The Atlantic 10 has two teams in the Top 25. With Purdue out and only Illinois still ranked, the Big Ten joins the Missouri Valley and Mountain West as conferences with one school in the poll.

Survey says players should get paid
The Associated Press
Baylor coach Dave Bliss calls the whole idea "a Pandora's Box."
But judging from an informal survey, most Big 12 basketball coaches would love to see players in revenue-producing sports get a stipend, if not a monthlysalary.
The issue has heated up in the Big 12
"I think it's unrealistic to think these kids only need their education paid for and nothing else," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said during the coaches' weekly conference call with reporters.
The biggest argument against paying players has always been the value of the education and other benefits they derive as scholarship athletes.
"It's a weird system, with so many people making so much money and the athletes who are putting the product on the floor aren't
making money.
Nick Collison Kansas forward
because a bill working its way through the Nebraska legislature would also mandate payments for football players.
Gov. Mike Johanns has said he would sign the bill into law, which would not take effect unless three other Big 12 states adopted the same measure.
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson wondered if the Nebraska lawmakers are prepared "for the lawsuit that's
coming from Title JX."
Title IX, the federal law mandating equal treatment for male and female athletes, would certainly be a complicating factor if schools attempted to pay football and men's basketball players, but not female athletes. Sampson said he would join those who demanded all athletes get paid.
"It bothers me that a university is going to write a check for a stipend for a student-athlete without writing a check for every student-athlete," Sampson said. "Just because her sport doesn't make money, that doesn't mean she should be excluded."
The only player quizzed on the subject came down solidly in favor of the payments.
"It's a weird system, with so many people making so much money and the athletes who are putting the product on the floor aren't making money." said
Weather cancels baseball game;
'Hawks move up in rankings
Cold and snow canceled the Kansas baseball team's game against Arkansas today.
With its two-game sweep of the Eastern Michigan Eagles, Kansas (11-3) is now ranked No. 17 in the Collegiate Baseball poll and No. 23 in the Baseball America poll.
Last week, the Jayhawks were ranked No.21 in the Collegiate Baseball poll and unranked in the Baseball America poll.
"These last two weeks have been a dream that I do not want to wake up from," coach Ritch Price said.
The Jayhawks are led by seniors Kevin Wheeler and Casey Spanish and juniors Matt Tribble and Ryan Baty. Wheeler has taken on the duties as the team's No. 1 pitcher as well as the team's designated hitter.
So far this season, Wheeler is 2-0 with a 2.49 ERA. Wheeler is also batting .378 from the plate. Included in the two victories was a performance against Eastern Michigan in which Wheeler struck out 12 batters.
of the series against the Eagles, boosting his batting average to. 367. After not recording a hit in the first game and ending his hitting streak at 12 games, Baty recorded two hits in the second game. His batting average stands at. 396.
Tribble currently has a 14-game hitting streak; he's hit safely in all the team's games this season and he's batting .481.
Spanish went 3-3 in the second game
"Considering the schedule we have played, playing six games in three days and then not playing for another week, his streak is amazing." Price said.

AYHAWKS IN THE PROS
By Ryan Greene

kansan sportswinter
Now that the NBA regular season is in full swing, every Tuesday the University Daily Kansan will update you on how your favorite former Jayhawk athletes are doing in the professional ranks. If there are any former Jayhawks that you would like an update on, e-mail your requests to rgreenee@kansan.com. Because of an overwhelming amount of responses, there will now be two updates per week.
Paul Pierce - Boston Celtics
The Celtts had the weekend off after going 4-2 on their 6-game West Coast road trip. In
KINGDOM OF CELTICS
MASSACHUSETTS
only two games over the past week. Pierce was strong, recording two double-doubles. In Tuesday's victory at Golden State, Pierce had 31 points and 12 assists. He recorded 22 points and 12 rebounds in Thursday's loss at Sacramento. Pierce is still the league's fourth leading scorer, averaging 26.4 points per game.
Drew Gooden - Orlando Magic
Orlando
Miami

Jelani Janisse, Guard (1998-99)
anisse never really made his mark in the KU record books. In two seasons as a Jayhawk, Janisse scored a total of 25 points in 96 minutes on the floor. However, Janisse is known by hardcore Kansas fans as Jelani "The Sheriff" Janisse for the Rumble of the fledgling SlamBall league. SlamBall features a mixture of traditional basketball and trampolines. In the league's first season, the Rumble won the league championship. SlamBall is played in the summer, but during the past fall, Janisse played some legitimate basketball as a starting guard for the Los Angeles City Stars. The Stars played a series of exhibition games against college teams before the start of the regular season. The Stars faced schools such as Florida State and USC.
Kenny Gregory, Guard/Forward (1997-2000)
Gregory left Kansas ranked tenth on the school's all-time scoring list. In his senior season he was named honorable mention All-America by the Associated Press and led the Jayhawks to the Sweet 16, where they lost to Illinois. Gregory figured to find a spot in the NBA after graduation, especially when he averaged 12 points in the Chicago NBA Pre-Draft Camp. Gregory went undrafted, but signed as a free agent with the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies decided not to add Gregory to their regular season roster, so he moved on to the National Basketball Development League.
After playing for both the Mobile Revelers and the Greenville Groove, Gregorywent on to play in another semi-pro league with the Dodge City Legend of the United States Basketball League. In 28 games with Dodge City, Gregory averaged 20.1 points per game. Following the conclusion of the USBL season, Gregory went overseas and is currently playing for the Chester Jets of the British Basketball League. Gregory recently scored 23 points for the Jets in a victory against the Newcastle Eagles on Feb.8.
Royals pitcher returns after chronic blister problem
The Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jeremy Affeldt will start the first exhibition game of the season for the Kansas City Royals, continuing a comeback from a chronic finger blister injury that forced him to miss 50 games last year.
Pena said vesterdav.
Affeldt passed his first test of spring training without a problem, throwing 30 pitches in the bullpen and 51 pitches in batting practice Sunday. He'll get the ball Thursday when the Royals open their exhibition schedule against the Texas Rangers, manager Tony
"I threw without pain, without a blister breaking." Affeldt said of his Sunday session. "I put pressure on the finger and there was no soreness."
Affeldt couldn't say that last year.
"It hurt the whole time," Affeldt said. "It hurt warming up in the bulpen."
Affeldt threw a season-high seven innings and 108 pitches on June 3 against the Chicago White Sox, allowing only three hits and 2 runs. But he would make only one more start.
"My first five pitches ... there was a huge bubble," Affeldt said of his final start, against the St. Louis Cardinals, during which he lasted only 3 1/3 innings and gave up 6 runs. "It was the biggest finger blister I ever saw."
He went on the disabled list on June 18 and would not return until August, when he was used strictly in relief. As a starter, Affeldt was 0-4 with a 5.45 ERA in seven starts; he was 3-0 with a 4.03 ERA in 27 relief appearances.
"I like Jeremy a lot," said John Wathan, a former Royals player and manager who is a special

assignment scout. "He's got a good fastball, an excellent change up and a good curve ball. The biggest thing with him is
keeping the blister in check."
Affeldt went to the winter Dominican Republic League to get some more innings and experience, but the finger blister flared up again.
"I couldn't get to 60 pitches."
Affeldt said. "It bothered me after warming up in the bullpen. I had a setback."
Attfield called Royais trainer Nick Swartz and his winter league stay was cut short. The Royals flew him to New York to see a doctor.
He saw a specialist in Springfield, Ill., and talked to big league pitchers Al Leiter and Paul Splittorff, who had both been hampered by finger blisters. A plan was formulated to control the blister which included wearing a Band-

Aid, filing his callus daily and keeping his nails trimmed short.
Pena promises not to baby the young left-hander in spring training — the Royals plan to get Affeldt's pitch count at least into the 80s by the end of March. They have to know if Affeldt's finger can withstand throwing that many pitches without forming a blister.
"I feel it is healed." Affeld said. "I'm really excited. I don't think it is going to give me any problems this year."
"I like that approach," Affeldt said. "I don't want any surprises. They don't want any surprises."
Tarpoff charged with felony
Missouri lineman shoots himself fabricates story
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri) defensive lineman Nick Tarpoff, who last week claimed he was shot by an intruder before later admitting he actually shot himself in the arm, was charged yesterday with felony possession of an illegal weapon.
Also yesterday, the Tigers indefinitely suspended Tarpoff, in whose house Columbia police said they found a sawed-off shotgun after last Wednesday's shooting.
Tarpoff, 21, was arraigned
yesterday morning in a Bo one County courtroom. If convicted, he could get seven years in prison and $5,000 in fines
Nick Tarpoff
Boone County Prosecutor Kevin Crane said it would be determined later whether Tarpoff would be charged with a misdemeanor in connection with the false police report.
Missouri announced the suspension in a two-paragraph statement, saying only that the disciplinary matter would be handled internally and that coach Gary Pinkel would have no additional
comment.
Police have said that Tarpoff told them he was sleeping upstairs in his house last Wednesday night when he was awakened by a noise downstairs. Tarpoff claimed he struggled with a man who was trying to steal his television set before eventually getting shot in the right arm, police said.
Tarpoff was hospitalized overnight. The next day, police said, he said he made up the story about the intruder.
Tarpoff, who struggled with injuries last season, played nine games and recorded 21 tackles as a backup. He played in 10 games in 2001, including one start, and made 41 tackles.
Cowboys fall in second half
The Associated Press
STILLIWATER, Okla. — Andre Emmett scored 28 points and Texas Tech rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit to upset No. 16 Oklahoma State 62-57 yesterday night.
The Red Raiders (16-8, 6-7 Big 12) had lost two out of three and played poorly in scoring just 18 first-half points. But Emmett and Kasib Powell, who scored 19, got going in the second half to help keep Tech's NCAA tournament chances alive.
Oklahoma State (20-6, 9-4) was coming off a big victory over then-No. 3 Texas on Saturday, and the Cowboys appeared to have control of the game. But they struggled in their half-court sets as the Red Raiders rallied.
Melvin Sanders scored 17 and Andre Williams
ATM
grabbed 16 rebounds for Oklahoma State. Both fouled out late.
The Red Raiders trailed by as many as 13 in the first half and by 12 with just over 17 minutes left in the game. Then Powell scored 12 points and Emmett had four in a 16-3 run that gave Tech a 39-38 lead with 12-17 remaining.
It remained a one-possession game until Emmett, leading the league at 21.7 points per game, capped a 7-0 run with a three-point play to give Tech a 54-50 lead with 6:14 remaining.
The Cowboys got within a point twice after that, the final time 58-57 on a follow shot by
Ivan McFarlin with 1,52 to play.
But they didn't score after that.
Emmett, meanwhile, scored inside with 1:34 left for a 60-57 lead, and after Sanders missed a 3-point try from the right corner, Will Chavis sealed it with two free throws with 8.2 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys started out just 5-for-19 from the field as Tech kept them from getting many fastbreak chances, and it was tied at 14 when Emmett scored inside with just under eight minutes to play.
A follow shot by Tony Allen started a 14-5 run that saw five Cowboys score. Meanwhile, Tech committed six turnovers, missed four shots and went 0-for-4 from the free throw line to fall behind 29-18 at halftime.

Chalmers may get his chance
Petition recommends new center share name with former chancellor
By Cate Batchelder
cbatchelder@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Just call him Larry. That was Chancelor E. Laurence Chalmers' slogan when he came to the University of Kansas.
A group of students want to name the new recreation center Larry, too.
A petition is going through tonight's Student Senate meeting to name the new recreation center after him.
M. C. HAMILTON
Chalmers
Chalmers presided over the University from 1969 to 1972 in the turbulent years of the Vietnam protest era when the Kansas Union was set on fire.
Chalmers said the University recruited him from the deep South thinking he would cater to the state's conservative views. Ultimately, conservatives found out that he was really their devil incarnate, a liberal, for siding with the students by disagreeing with the war. Because a draft was in effect, students had the choice of serving or retreating to Canada. He said he understood students' fear that getting an F could mean going to Vietnam.
Chalmers said he kept in contact with those students and sometimes even their children.
The child of two protesting alumni thought of the idea to name the new center after his parents' chancellor. Jack Henry-Rhoads, Independence, Mo., freshman, took his idea to other University Affairs committee members who set the petition in motion. The committee members and Henry-Rhoads said it was
a glaring omission that Chalmers was one of the last chancellors not to have a building named after him.
Fine Arts Senator Tommy Bobo originally wanted the Art and Design Building named after Chalmers because of his commitment to the arts. After his time at the University, Chalmer's held positions at The Art Institute of Chicago and later worked at museums in San Antonio. The Art and Design Building has gone unnamed because it requires a $5 million donation.
Bobo is sponsoring the petition because he thinks Chalmers is the epitome of what a liberal arts school represents. He said Chalmers took interest in student lives and cared that they would grow to be free-thinking individuals.
"The whole idea that you have to be power-hungry to get at the top," Bobo said. "I always kind of saw Larry as being above that."
The recreation center petition states that because student fees were used to fund the construction, the naming should be left to the students. And because Chalmers fought for student issues, the group of senators thinks he's the right candidate.
Should the petition pass tonight, the recommendation will go to the Building Names Committee and Chancellor Robert Hemenway. The Board of Regents will make the final decision.
The Regents 30 years ago almost voted Chalmers out of office early. Chalmers jokingly said there were no ill feelings between the two anymore. When he came to the University 15 years ago for a party with the Regents and KU chancellors, someone told him that his nemesis on the board had long since died.
Chalmers' doesn't have to worry about losing his job now that he is retired and living in Durango, Colo.
With the petition, the bond between Larry and the student body continues to burn strong.

With wintry weather bearing down on Lawrence once again, the thoughts of warm sunny beaches fill the heads of some KU students.

Powwow funds questioned

Senators urge group to seek different method to compensate dancers

For the 17th year, First Nations Student Association is asking for $6,069 of Student Senate funds. This year, however, finance committee members questioned $400 of that amount because it would be used to pay students from the group to dance at its powwow April 5.
Usually, the association finds a Head Lady and Head Man from outside the tribe to dance at the powwow. The group didn't find them this year but had the talent within the tribe and decided to use its own members.

Yvette Washington, the association's senator, will be the Head Lady this year. Washington said just 2 percent of her tribe went to college, so to distinguish this accomplishment, the title will be changed to Student Head Lady and Student Head Man this year.
Kyle Johnson and David Cantrell, finance committee members, are against the $400 honorarium.
"I don't think we should be paying students to participate in their own activities," Johnson said.
He said he understood the cultural nature of the group but thought it could find other funds either through fundraising or donations.

Nonfaculty employees raise awareness of contributions
Unclassified employees traveled yesterday to Topeka to lobby state legislators.
About 24 unclassified nonfaculty employee representatives met with legislators to raise awareness of the contributions of unclassified staff.
Thelma Simons, president of Unclassified Professional Staff Association, said the association didn't have any specific requests.
"Our purpose was to mainly inform the legislators who unclassified staff are and what we do," she said.
The unclassified employees shared with the legislators a brochure about what unclassified employees do at the University of Kansas.
Simons said the trip was part of an effort to start building a relationship with legislators.
The lobbyists told the state legislators that they appreciated the recommendation of a 1.5 percent pay increase by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. They also stressed the importance of higher education to the state and the state economy.
The trip was encouraging and there were some legislators who were really interested, Simons said.
There are about 1,500 unclassified staff members at the University. Unclassified staff include advisers program directors and technology coordinators.

State senator arrested, suspected of drunken driving
TOPEKA—Sen. Lana Oleen (R-Manhattan) was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Topeka early yesterday, the second member of the chamber to face such charges this year.
Owen, the Senate's second-highest ranking leader, failed both a field sobriety test and breathalyzer test, the Shawnee County Sheriff's Department said.
The senator, alone in her Jeep Cherokee, was driving slowly and not staying in one lane when she was stopped at about 12:30 a.m. yesterday, said Deputy Martha Lutz.
Oleen was released from jail after posting a $1,000 signature bond. Her blood-alcohol level wasn't released, and a court appearance hadn't been scheduled.

Classified staff recommends the University handle payroll
By Kellany Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Money left over from tuition increases may be used to raise the pay for classified staff at the University of Kansas.
Five members of the University Classified Senate Committee proposed a plan to classified employees yesterday to break away from the state pay scale system and move the responsibility to the University.
A portion of the $8.7 million in tuition enhancement funds would be used to increase classified staff's salaries. Classified employees are considered civil servants of the state and some of their jobs include secretaries, custodians, librarians, maintenance workers and administrative assistants.
Kathy Jansen, president of the Classified Senate Committee, said the classified employees had not received a raise in the last three years.
With the tight state budget and general lack of concern for state employees by the Legislature, Jansen said, it would be better for classified staff's payrolls to be determined by the University.
Because classified staff are employed by the state they cannot accept money from anywhere but the state, Jansen said. If the classified staff does not become independent of the state's civil service board, it cannot accept the tuition enhancement money, Jansen said.
The biggest change for classified staff would be how the University administered the pay system, Jansen said.
Bette Luther, Classified Senate member and office manager of the Center for Russian and East European Studies, said the University needed to take action to bring about change.
"We're at a point where if we don't start helping ourselves no one else will," Luther said. "We have to pay out-of-pocket insurance, worry about our retirement and how to send our kids to college. The cost of living has gone up, but we have not been compensated."
Luther said many classified employees had to work two jobs — or more — because it wasn't possible to support a family with the wages and benefits the state of Kansas gave its civil servants.
"Classified employees were created with secretaries making coffee and typing on a manual typewriter," Luther said. "The Legislature is not doing anything for University employees who are doing more."
The current step pay matrix based system, which eventually reaches a capped rate based on longevity and performance, would change to a broadband system within two to four years.
Two-thirds of any money used for pay increases would go to all employees with satisfactory evaluation under the new broadband system; the other third would be given to department heads.
The department heads would then give the remaining money for raises to employees with excellent evaluations. Jansen
said she had mixed feelings about the use of the remaining one-third of money. Some people could view it as an incentive and others might look at it pessimistically, she said.
Filling classified staff positions is difficult, Jansen said. Many of the entry-level jobs are below the poverty level and it is hard to find people to take those jobs, she said. If University administrators are able to increase salaries for classified staff it would help fill jobs and also retain them, Jansen said.
Jonathan Ng, student body president, said the students were supportive of the classified staff.
"Iam reluctant to support the use of student tuition money to go for salary increases for classified staff since that clearly should be something the state should cover," Ng said.
The classified staff employees seem to be evenly divided between being in favor for or against moving pay system responsibilities from the state to the University, Jansen said. One of the major issues the Classified Senate encountered was having the trust of the classified employees.
Tommee Sherwood, custodial crew leader, said breaking away from the state was a matter of trust.
"The way they framed it, it was like who do you not trust the most," Sherwood said. "I tend to not trust the Legislature."

Speaker provides porn insight
By Nicole Roche

Kansan staff writer
It's "the apple pie of America," but it's not baseball or family picnics — it's pornography.
Parnography is a bigger business than professional football, basketball and baseball put together.
Lastnight,former sexaddict and pastor Gene McConnell spoke to approximately 500 students in Budig Hall about the negative effects of pornography. The event was sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ and Student Senate.
"My goal is not to be a parent and say, 'No, no, no.' "McConnell said. "You are adults, and you have the right to consume — as long as it doesn't hurt others."
McConnell described addiction as using an object to replace a relationship. Porn addiction usually occurred when someone felt
Dan Nelson/Kansan
McConnell said porn had devastating repercussions on his relationships with his wife, daughter and sister. He became so obsessed with the images of a perfect woman from pornography that when he thought he saw a beautiful woman who fit the image, he almost raped her.
Gene McConnell speaks during his Power of Porn presentation at Budig Hall last night. "Pornography is empty; it exists because we live empty lives," he said.
Kimberly Drake, former exotic dancer, told how her husband's obsession with porn led her to a world of porn re-enactment, stripping and eventually cocaine abuse.
"I thought if I could be like those women, then my husband would value me," Drake said. "Then I would be the centerfold of his life."
"It was like a drug injected in my veins," McConnell said of his first experience with porn at age 12. "I was hooked."
Americans spend $10 billion to $14 billion on porn each year, McConnell said, which makes the porn industry larger than professional football, basketball and baseball combined. McConnell also said more strip clubs exist in the United States than McDonald's.
lonely and tried to escape the pain, he said.
"I could have the greatest orgasm viewing that material, but I walk away and guess what. There's still no one in my world," McConnell said.
Glenn Baughman, Wichita sophomore, was curious to hear what viewpoints it would present.
"I understand porn can be incredibly powerful, good or bad," he said. "I just thought both
Baughman said he was interested in exploring both sides of the issue. He said some major issues were ignored in the presentation.
of these people needed a good relationship workshop."
Baughman said masturbation within a relationship can have its positive aspects.
"Why should you have to rely on one person to fulfill all of your sexual needs?" Baughman said.
McConnell said he gave his presentation because college students were at a turning point in their lives.
"If someone would have given me this information when I was 21 or 22, it would have saved me a lot of pain," McConnell said.

Well the Kansan splendidly missed the point of our counter-protest. It wasn't a College Republican thing. Several of us were Democrats who thought that with the possibility of the draft being reinstated and a war about to break out, there are better things to protest than underpaid tomato farmers. Well, that and we just like dirt-cheap tacos.

The inevitability of a war in Iraq conjures few positive images except that the United States may have a shot at redeeming its negative image in the many parts of the world. The international anti-war movement needs to see President George W. Bush back up his statements that this war is really about freedom, democracy and making the world a safer place.
It is easier to talk about nation building than it is to implement the plans. In the
We must be willing to provide the support that we provided for Europe with the Marshall Plan after World War II. The international media will be watching this war closely, especially after it ends. We cannot afford to allow the loss of American and Iraqi lives without having the patience to provide a free-market, democratic system that works for Iraq.
This is no easy task. As we prepare to oust Saddam Hussein, we need to remind ourselves of the unsuccessful track record the United States has when it comes to regime change. For more than 50 years, the United States has employed diplomatic pressure, the CIA and the military to change regimes or fund sympathetic groups. This history, known all too well in Latin America and the Middle East, is the primary reason that many
people across the globe are wary of a U.S. war with Iraq.
Let's not fool ourselves: the United States has not encountered much success creating an economically sustained democracy since the Korean War. Even then, we could not change the Korean Peninsula as a whole. We would have to look further back — to Japan and Western Europe in the post-World War II Marshall Plan restructuring era — to find a success of this kind. Our efforts in Chile, Grenada, Panama, Nicaragua, Iran and Afghanistan have not led to lasting success in garnering support or creating economically independent and sustainable societies.
Middle East, these policies face a different challenge. Iraq is a totalitarian state. We don't really know whether the citizens of Iraq will cheer us or throw rocks at us when we enter Baghdad. American-style democracy of free media, free speech and free markets is frowned upon by many in the Arab world. While these views may be marginal, they are of concern when imagining what could happen during the war and after the war. The United States doesn't have the only style of democracy around.
Many members of the international community have seen firsthand the presence of the U.S. military and the failures of a U.S.-led World Trade Organization and International Monetary Fund policies. What worked for South Korea did not work for Africa, nor will it work for Iraq. Long-term peace and economic stability in America now depend on the success of the war on terrorism. In other words, we will be held accountable if Afghanistan and Iraq fail. The international community will have no reason to question our motivations if we succeed
That is real patriotism — not putting a flag bumper sticker on your car, but demanding that if the war is necessary,
real change in Iraq must follow.
We can't erase bad policy decisions of the past, but we can begin the 21st century by showing the world we can be responsible for our actions. The 1948 Marshall Plan gave $16 billion in economic aid to Western Europe. The total U.S. budget was about $40 billion. The bonus will be on the International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization to create a plan to facilitate a sustainable Iraq: putting the oil in the hands of the people and encouraging U.S. investment.
Yet President Bush's fiscal year 2004 budget makes no mention of a war with Iraq. Tax cuts and anticipated deficit spending mean there will be no money to invest into a post-war Iraq. Because we no longer have a say in whether we go to war, we might as well look toward potentially positive outcomes. If Iraq and Afghanistan fail to become success stories, not just puppet regimes, we are only fueling the fire of the likes of al-Qaeda and setting ourselves up for another bloody century.

CORRECTION
THE 'KANSAN' ONLINE
Yesterday's editorial, "Needed: funds for theater's 'Stage' project," contained an error. It incorrectly stated that the theater and film department's campaign to raise funds for the Crafton-Preyer theater would create a new theater larger than the existing space.
The money will create a "space large enough to hold 300 to 500 people,"but it will decrease the size of the theater, which seats 1,181, by partitioning off a portion of the current space.

PERSPECTIVEI
War opposition eliminates need for censorship
The anti-war movement has long been complaining that the government and the media have
trying to stifle dissent and censor opposition.
A. R. P.
"We will not be silenced by Big Media!" thousands of protesters proclaim as they march on our cities in protests broadcast live on national television.
On Larry King Live and in The Washington Post, Sean Penn, Hollywood's ambassador to Baghdad, has accused the president and the media of quashing his views.
GUEST COMMENTARY
But does the government even have a need for censorship? With the arguments the anti-war movement is making, it hardly seems necessary. Ask a hundred weekend protesters why they are against a war on Iraq and it will be the same old Chomsky-induced diatribe about oil, greed and cowboys. It's like a broken record.
Nathan Clark opinion@hansan.com
Unfortunately, that's about as good as it gets. The noise of these cheap and dumb attacks has drowned out what few
serious arguments actually exist.
There are legitimate moral concerns to be raised about a possible war in Iraq, though you wouldn't know it by watching an anti-war rally. So where are these concerns being expressed? A small group of dissenting legislators are trying their best, but their actual positions are often vague and their numbers are dwindling under the ever-growing mountain of evidence against Iraq. Furthermore, they have yet to pose a respectable alternative to war.
There is loud but strange opposition coming from Europe, where the mind-boggling stances of France and Germany
Then we have celebrity input. Susan Sarandon deserves an Oscar for her acting performance in a TV ad when she asks, almost in tears, "What did Iraq do to us?" Thank God she wasn't around during World War II; Europe might now be one big German state run by Hitler Jr.
— trusting Saddam Hussein to pass a law banning his own weapons — are actually causing the rabidly Bush-hating British public to side with the United States.
Fellow actress and defender of dictators Janeane Garofalo has made movies that could be classified as weapons of mass destruction, yet she starred in a similar commercial advising our president to wait until we are attacked yet again.
"Let the inspections work," the commercials say, as if they are working to begin with.
Obviously, debate is alive and well on talk shows, editorial pages, the Blogosphere, etc. Clearly, the anti-anti-war crowd is winning. Why? The peace movement has, inadvertently, proven two things to the Bush administration.
First, they have made it clear that, for most of them, it really isn't about war. It's about their knee-jerk hatred of a Republican president.
Second, their lack of coherency has shown that there isn't an acceptable alternative to war.
If anything, the peace movement has strengthened Bush's case because of an absence of sound opposition. Why would he want to stifle that kind of debate? Bush must be thinking that if this is the best his critics can do, then give them all of the parades and air time they want.
We are going to war and no number of these silly "peace" rallies will change that. They're meaningless.
But if protesters want to accomplish anything or even be taken seriously for a change, then they should focus more on rational discourse instead of writing dumb slogans and whining about conspiracies.

Pharmacy ranks high in research
Program receives third-place ranking from health institute
By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The School of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas has ranked in the top 10 for the fifth consecutive year in securing funding from the National Institutes of Health.
The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy recently ranked the University's pharmacy school third out of 85 pharmacy schools and colleges across the nation. The school received $10 million in NIH awards during the 2002 fiscal year.
"The ranking is due to sustained excellence on the part of our faculty and several very long grants that were submitted and successfully funded," said Jack Fincham, dean of the School of Pharmacy.
Gunda Georg, distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry, received $10 million for cancer-fighting research. Robert Hanzlik, professor of medicinal chemistry,
was awarded $10.1 million to study cellular proteins. Both grants will be distributed over five years.
The high rankings reflect a close relationship between research and teaching. Professors must be able to juggle the timely concerns of medicinal research with teaching students moving into the field.
The faculty in the School of Pharmacy understand the dual mission of research and teaching established by the University, Fincham said.
"The best researchers make the best teachers," he said.
Georg said her knowledge from research helped her in the classroom.
"The research of course brings us to the cutting edge of the field," Georg said. "You're using first hand experience you can relate to other people rather than just reading about it."
To balance her research responsibilities with teaching, Georg has students e-mail her for appointments instead of having set office hours.
Allison Robl, second-year pharmacy student from Wichita, said research allowed her professors to
be up to date on the latest discoveries.

"In the pharmacy field you will find a job. Being a high ranked school has an advantage." Robslaid.
The school and students will benefit from the high rankings when opportunities in the field of pharmacy are not as plentiful, Fincham said.
"There won't always be a shortage of pharmacists," he said. "As

The school moved up from a fourth place ranking the previous year. Fincham expects KU to move up in rankings for the next year despite the competitiveness of the other schools.
"To move up is not an easy task," he said. "Any time you have a select few up at the top, it's difficult to move into the top echelon."
U.S. Senate gives money for life sciences

Research efforts at the University of Kansas and the University of Kansas Medical Center will be getting help from the U.S. Senate.
The Omnibus Appropriations bill passed Feb. 14 by the Senate Appropriations Committee and the House-Senate Conference Committee secured $2 million in funding to the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute, said Ian
Spurgeon, a representative for Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback's office. Brownback started the effort to receive the funding in March 2002. He is a member of both the committees that passed the bill.
The Institute will give the money to the Kansas City Proteomics Consortium to use. The University and the Med Center are the only two Kansas stakeholders of the Consortium, said Bill Duncan, president of the Institute.
The Institute started the Kansas City Proteomics Consortium in Sept. 2001 to study proteins, Ducan said
"The money will be used to build infrastructure and capacity in proteomics research," Duncan said.
The money will be used to fund facilities and equipment needed to do the protein research, Ducan said. Most of it will be used for equipment, such as x-ray machines, he said.
The funding will also help the
Institute in competing for grants awarded from the National Institute of Health, Ducan said.
The percentage of the award that goes specifically to the Lawrence campus and to the Med School has yet to be determined, Ducan said. He plans on working with the Chancellor Robert Hemenway and administrators at the Med School to determine where the money will go, he said.

The Omnibus Appropriations bill passed Feb. 14 by the Senate Appropriations Committee and the House-Senate Conference Committee secured $2 million in funding to the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute, said Ian
Spurgeon, a representative for Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback's office. Brownback started the effort to receive the funding in March 2002. He is a member of both the committees that passed the bill.
The Institute will give the money to the Kansas City Proteomics Consortium to use. The University and the Med Center are the only two Kansas stakeholders of the Consortium, said Bill Duncan, president of the Institute.
The Institute started the Kansas City Proteomics Consortium in Sept. 2001 to study proteins, Ducan said
"The money will be used to build infrastructure and capacity in proteomics research," Duncan said.
The money will be used to fund facilities and equipment needed to do the protein research, Ducan said. Most of it will be used for equipment, such as x-ray machines, he said.
The funding will also help the
Institute in competing for grants awarded from the National Institute of Health, Ducan said.
The percentage of the award that goes specifically to the Lawrence campus and to the Med School has yet to be determined, Ducan said. He plans on working with the Chancellor Robert Hemenway and administrators at the Med School to determine where the money will go, he said.

No'slacker'at slack lining
Kelley Weiss/Kansan
N.Y.C.
Danny Loental, Rolla, Mo., senior, focuses as he climbs the rock wall in his friend's garage. Loental said he liked to climb at as much as he could..

Kansan staff writer
Danny Loental pushes his limits and walks a thin line.
Loental said there were only about six or seven students at the University of Kansas that could walk a line.
The Rolla, Mo., senior goes slack lining and rock climbing in his spare time. Slack lining is walking along a 2-inch wide piece of tubular webbing strung between two trees. Think tightrope walking.
So few students may be involved in the sport because of the expenses that come along. Shoes, a harness and rope can all cost more than $300. But Loental had quite a strategy to save his money.
"It's called being a dirt bag," Loental said. "Sometimes on trips I don't pay my camping fees until I get caught. I also eat lots of oatmeal and Ramen noodles because they're so cheap."
Although Loental climbed the occasional tree as a kid, he didn't grow up with a slack lining or rock climbing background. He was introduced to rock climbing when some friends took him to climb the wall in Robinson Center three years ago.
Loental joined the KU climbing club and he travels with the other 60 members to climbing trips in Arkansas and Oklahoma. His favorite climbing trip was a
month long trip to Yosemite National Park in California. Gretchen Snethen, KU rock climbing club president, said club members often didn't have many opportunities to keep up with personal hygiene on trips.
"Sometimes we can't shower for a week," Snethen said. "Danny has gone longer without showering. I'm not sure how long it was, but it wasn't frequent enough to be noticed."
Besides traveling the country,
Loental goes slack lining right here at KU. Loental draws a crowd in between classes when's he walks a rope between Budig Hall and the Art and Design Building.
"It's weird when there's a zoo of people all around you," Loental said. "I have good concentration, and I'm aware of everything going on with my body."
Loental doesn't just walk lines, he can sit on the line, walk backwards and he's working on walking with his hands behind his back. Occasionally, he falls.
"Falling really isn't that bad," Loental said. "But if you rack yourself—it really hurts."
Although slack lining is all about balance, Loental says that slack lining skills don't translate to other sports.
"I've tried to ride a unicycle, but I just can't do it." Lo仑ental said.

Greeks organize recycling projects

Kansan staff writer
Waste not, want not is the theme that some fraternity and sorority members may want for their houses.
Those fraternity and sorority members are trying to set up organized recycling systems where there have not been in the past.
Bryan Seck, Wichita junior, began recycling efforts at the Delta Chi fraternity, 1245 W. Campus Road, in January. Seck worked at Templin Hall for the past two years and was inspired by its program's success. All residence halls have recycling programs.
The chapter recycles only aluminum cans, but Seck would like to expand the program to include cardboard and tin cans.
Chapter members were using cars and sport utility vehicles to haul their recyclables to Kaw Metals before it recently went out of business. They are looking for a new recycling center.
The house members are willing to help, Seck said, it is just hard for them to remember to separate the cans.
He said he would like to place a recycling bin in each room to help everyone remember, but it is still early in the process.

Carting the trash to a recycling center is not the only option.
The service picks up paper products, cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminum and tin cane.
The service costs $15 per month for residential houses and $20 per month for commercial and large living situations such as fraternity and sorority chapters. This cost includes a weekly pick-up.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7A
Test offers alternative to proficiency requirement
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
International students applying to graduate school at the University of Kansas may have another option to meeting the English proficiency requirement.
The Graduate School is looking to accept the International English Language Testing System
in addition to the Testing of English as a Foreign Language exam. Now, the school accepts only TOEFL scores.
The Graduate School held a spring workshop yesterday to inform the graduate faculty and staff about the new test, said Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school.
A representative from Cambridge Examinations and International English Language Test
ing System International, Beryl Meiron, spoke about the exam and its characteristics.
Carlin said the graduate school began looking at the new test about six months ago.
"The widespread availability and the rigorous level of the test make it a good option for providing a choice to students in which exam they take," Carlin said.
Meiron said the new test was a
task-based test that assessed the real language skills students needed to study and work.
The test covers four skills—listening, reading, writing and speaking. Meiron said test takers were evaluated on the quality of language they produce.
Meiron said the test was a good alternative because testing was offered in more countries.
"While the University won't get rid of the TOELF, it would offer
IELTS as a sanctioned alternative. "Carlin said."
For the International English Language Testing System to be an alternative for the English proficiency requirement, a proposal will go to the Graduate Council.
If the Graduate Council approves using this test, it will then go to the Office of the Provost for final approval.
If it is approved, international
students applying to enroll for Summer 2004 could use it for admissions.
Carlin said the features of the new test made it a good alternative.
"The security of the testing, the accessibility of the test and the reliability of the test make it a good direction for us to go," she said.

Hussein debate: an unrealistic fantasy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Saddam Hussein's invitation to debate President Bush has people wondering how such an event might be pulled off.
One master of debate preparation said Saddam probably was most familiar with a shark-tank format.
"He dangles his debate opponent over a shark tank and then cuts the rope," guessed Paul Begala, who helped Democrat Al Gore rehearse for match-ups with Bush.
It happens in every campaign — the underdog agitates for an attention-grabbing debate and his opponent plays hard to get. In
this circumstance, Bush is impossible to get.
If the Iraqi president has one thing going for him, it might be low expectations. The authoritarian leader is thought to be rusty on the give and take of politics, and if he should turn out to have a rapier wit, he might win points.
Bush, for example, beat expectations in the 2000 campaign. People were sure the policy-polished and well-spoken Gore would run circles around the Texas governor, who mangles words and was making his first bid for national office. Bush surprised the doubters.
Still, much is stacked against Saddam, including the risk of
looking like a fish out of the tank.
"The problem Saddam has, is that whenever he's had to debate anybody in his life he just kills them," Begala said yesterday.
American political history offers a number of do's and don'ts that Saddam might want to keep in mind:
Shave. A five-o'clock-shadow helped sink Richard Nixon in his first match-up with John Kennedy in September 1960; Saddam also looks overly stern if not swarthy at times.
No sighing. Gore's loud sighs, indicating exasperation with his opponent, served him poorly in 2000.
- Clothes and gestures matter.
Apart from the bearded look that
hurt him in 1960, Nixon wore a gray suit that washed him out against the gray studio background. Kennedy's blue suit gave him contrast on black and white TV.
Saddam's penchant for wearing uniforms, and shooting a rifle into the air, might make him appear less approachable.
No clock watching. The first President Bush looked at his watch several times in a 1992 debate with Bill Clinton on the recession. Saddam would want to avoid coming across as similarly unmoved by the plight of average people.
The logistics of a Bush-Saddam debate would be daunting. All-American debates are tough enough.
Senate studies food inspection program
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Food safety inspections would probably get more attention if a single state agency oversaw them, the chairman of a Senate panel studying whether to consolidate inspection programs, said yesterday.
Under a Senate bill, the state Department of Agriculture would become responsible for all food inspections effective July 1, relieving the Kansas Department of Health and Environment of its inspection duties.
Sen. Derek Schmidt (R-Independence) and chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said he supported the idea but believed more time was needed to work out the details. Schmidt and committee members plan to seek appointment of a special House-Senate committee that would study food safety programs later this year and make recommendations to the 2004 Legislature.
KDHE is responsible for food safety inspections at restaurants, school cafeterias and other food service establishments and at grocery stores and its meat counters.
The Department of Agriculture, meanwhile, regulates the sale of eggs and dairy products and the sale of meat by retail counters at small packing plants and meat-lockers.
Restaurant inspections came under scrutiny last year when a state audit found that nearly one-third of Kansas' 12,000 food establishments were not inspected as required in 2001. KDHE stepped up its efforts and eventually fined more than 130 restaurants in 2002.
Schmidt said he believed such inspections could get more attention in the Department of Agriculture.
"It will ensure that food safety will have the highest priority because it will be a big fish in a small pond," Schmidt said.
Sen. Christine Downey (D-Newton) said the state's budget problems also were influencing the discussion. She said legislators wondered whether inspectors could be trained to handle duties now assigned to different departments.
House endorses bill for abortion clinics
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A House committee endorsed a bill Monday setting minimum health and safety standards for abortion clinics.
The measure was drafted by abortion opponents, who said it was intended to protect women.
Abortion rights supporters argued the bill was designed to limit access to the procedure by making it too expensive for clinics to operate.
The Federal and State Affairs Committee's 13-6 vote sent the measure to the entire House for debate. A similar bill passed the House last year but died without a vote in the Senate.
This year's measure would require the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to establish minimum standards for the space that clinics must reserve for bathrooms, interview and counseling rooms and patient dressing rooms. KDHE also would have to set standards for equipment, lighting, ventilation and exam tables.
Some standards are specifically prescribed in the bill.
For example, every clinic
would be required to have a doctor as its medical director; to have a licensed nurse present during any physician's exam; and to have ultrasound equipment if it offered abortions after the 12th week of pregnancy.
Also, the bill spells out what physicians must ask in compiling a patient's medical history.
"It is something that protects the health of women who go through the clinics," said committee Chairman Bill Mason (R-El Dorado).
Groups and legislators who support abortion rights are wary of the measure because it deals only with abortion clinics.
Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri have called the bill burdensome and discriminatory and said there was no need for it because abortion was safer than other surgical procedures.
Rep. Rick Rehorn (D-Kansas City) who opposes the bill, said Planned Parenthood's clinic in Overland Park and the Wichita clinic operated by George Tiller could comply with regulations contemplated by the bill.

Leawood freshman Emily Atkinson was one of about 130 voters who had cast ballots at St. Lawrence Catholic Center by midafternoon.
If the election counted votes per campaign dollar spent, Bassin, who spent about $800 and garnered 424 votes, estimated he'd finish near the top.
"It's my civic duty, and it's a way for my voice to be heard," Atkinson said. "I'm a Lawrence resident now and will be for the next four years, or more, so what happens in this town matters to me.
Bassin didn't get as many votes as members of the Progressive Campaign, but the Washburn law student doesn't think his campaign was a total loss.

NASA investigates object spotted near shuttle
The Associated Press
SPACE CENTER. Houston — The board investigating the Columbia tragedy said it wants to know more about a mysterious object that almost certainly fell off the shuttle and was flying alongside the spacecraft during its second day in orbit.
The object was never noticed during the flight itself, after the shuttle's destruction over Texas on Feb.1, the U.S.Strategic Command began analyzing radar data
Meanwhile, a piece of a thermal tile, believed to be from the top of the left wing, remains the westernmost piece of debris found from Columbia yet — and probably the earliest known fragment from its breakup.
that might shed light on the disaster and noticed the object.
said. That suggests it could have broken loose from the shuttle during the maneuver.
Initially, NASA said it suspected the object might be frozen wastewater dumped overboard or an orbiting piece of space junk that the shuttle happened to encounter.
Air Force Brig. Gen. Duane Deal, a board member, discounted both possibilities and said the object almost had to have come from the shuttle itself.
Because the astronauts did not do a space walk and did not have many windows, they would not have noticed the unidentified object. Deal said.
He described the object as about
1 foot by 1.3 feet in size and said it
was flying in tandem with Columbia one day into the mission.
It was within 50 feet of the shuttle and, within that first day, started separating farther and farther away until it burned up on reentry three days later, he said.
The composition of the object is unknown, but it was lightweight and not dense. Deal said.
Columbia had just gone through a major maneuver in orbit on Jan. 17, about 24 hours into its flight, when the object popped out of nowhere, Deal

Multicultural Affairs committee chairwoman, said there was a misunderstanding in the finance committee.
"I don't think that some members were looking at this through the perspective of another culture," Keith said. "They weren't able to separate themselves from their social norms."
Washington, Student Head Lady, said the honorarium didn't have to be a monetary value. It could be a blanket or any kind of gift of appreciation. Senate isn't able to fund gifts over $50.
Washington said she thought the value of reciprocity that indigenous cultures had was often misunderstood.
"When you have a culture that's not based on money and rules, it's hard to get those points across," she said.

Local talent on showcase in Manhattan

Don't want to watch yet anotherwhatch reality TV show, say, I'm aCelebrity—Get Me Out of Here?

Yeah, yeah, it's Manhattan. And, yes, you'll have to watch women's basketball.
But I promise: You'll witness three of the finest local players to play the game at the collegiate level.
And, not all of them will be wearing their home whites.
If you're a female round ball fan in this state, and you don't know about Kansas State's potential All-American candidates Nicole Ohide and Kendra Wecker, what's your problem?
They're phenomenal. At times this season, the best two players in America both were wearing purple.
And both come from small, Kansas towns. Ohlde is from Clay Center and Wecker made her athletic mark in Marysville. She's also a track superstar.
Koehn is K-State's top three-point shooter, and some proud Powercats might even argue top player, but the standout has missed seven straight games.
What about Moundridge-product
Laurie Koehn you ask?
If Koehn does comeback tonight, hands down, K-State has the top trio of thrillers on the court.
But when she'll return is anyone's guess, thus opening the spot for another player not wearing purple

Kansas fights for Big 12title
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas' game against Texas A&M at 6:30 tonight won't generate a lot of hype.
The student section won't be full of thunder stick-beating fans an hour before tipoff — as it was for the Arizona game.
Fans won't wait in a line that wraps around the block two and half hours before game time — as they did when Missouri came to town.
Radio talk shows won't even be able to debate whether Kansas sophomore forward Wayne Simien will return from his shoulder injury.
The Aggies (13-10 overall, 5-7 Big 12 Conference) will come into town as the eighth-place team in the conference and the opponent sandwiched between an emotional roller coaster in Oklahoma and a much anticipated match-up with Oklahoma State on Saturday.
But if ninth-ranked Kansas (20-6, 10-2) wants to win or share the Big 12 title, winning all of its remaining four games could be crucial.
Kansas had the opportunity to take a commanding two-game lead in the conference race, but after losing 77-70 to Oklahoma Sunday, the Jayhawks and Sooners are now even with four games a piece to play.
If both teams win the rest of their games, they will share the title.
Kansas sophomore guard Keith Langford was confident the Jayhawks were up to the challenge, he said after the Oklahoma game.
"I still believe we are going to win the conference," Langford said. "One loss isn't going to dictate the outcome of our season."
That could make beating the Aggies, regardless of their record, an important task. It's also a task that comes with little preparation.
The Jayhawks did not practice yesterday because of a late arrival from Oklahoma and a busy week that includes Saturday's game against Oklahoma State.
"It's hard," Kansas coach Roy Williams said at a press conference. "The tough thing about playing a Sunday game and then having Wednesday and a Saturday following that, is that at some point in there you're only going to have one-day preparation for one of those two teams that you're playing."
"One loss isn't going to dictate the outcome of our."
season."
Keith Langford Kansas guard
Along with minimal practice time, the Jayhawks will have to deal with the leading scorer in Big 12 history.
Texas A&M senior guard Bernard King has 1,926 points in his career including 22 in his last meeting with Kansas.
"Bernard has just played the way he's played for years," Williams said. "He's just doing a great, great job for them."
The conference's second leading scorer will also be on hand in the form of Kansas senior forward Nick Collison. Collison's 1,882 points is just 44 fewer than King's total.

Physical play dominating Big 12 games
By John Domoney
jdomoney@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Big 12 Conference, which is known as a football conference, may be gaining more respect as one of the premier basketball conferences. But the physical nature of football is finding its way onto the court around conference arenas.
"I think that everybody has been playing like that," Kansas coach Roy Williams said during Monday's Big 12 Teleconference. "There's a definite advantage if the referees don't call it, but they're supposed to call the game that way."
Williams spent most of Monday's teleconference answering questions concerning the amount of physical play in college basketball after his Jayhawks lost to the hard-nosed style displayed by Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson's Sooners.
Kansas knew it would be in for a bruising game, especially with the number of big bodies that Oklahoma brought to the floor, such as Kevin Bookout and Johnnie Gilbert.
The 77-70 loss to Oklahoma on Sunday featured a combined 52 fouls and 64 free throws shot.
Still, Williams said he did not think his team was overmatched physically.
"If you look at the times that there's the people diving on the floor, we dived just as much as everybody else, we banged just as much as everyone else," Williams said.
Kansas guards Keith Langford and Kirk Hinrich both fouled out as a result of the banging on the floor at the Lloyd Noble Center. But, a Sooner took the hardest hit on Sunday.
Oklahoma center Jabahri Brown took a blow to his head in a scramble for the ball midway through the first half. The blow sent Brown to the locker room. The concussion kept him out of uniform for the rest of the game.

Jayhawks to face a 'true test' in No. 5 Wildcats
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter r
Freshman guard Eric Hallman challenges Baylor's Chelsea Whitaker in the open court. Kansas (10-14, 3-10) will face Kansas State (25-2, 12-1) tonight in Manhattan. The Wildcats beat the Jayhawks 88-49 at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this season.
The women's basketball teams at Kansas and Kansas State are similar and different in many ways. Both teams are young, without a senior on the roster. Actually, that's where the similarities end.
Scott Reynolds/Kansar
The Jayhawks (10-14 overall, 3-10 Big 12 Conference) have had a tough time in the conference schedule and are still learning how to play as a cohesive unit. On the other end, the fifth-ranked Wildcats (25-2, 12-1) have used their youth to put them on the map as one of college basketball's premier teams.
In the first meeting of the season, KState made itself at home in Allen Fieldhouse with an 88-49 victory. Getting revenge on the road at Bramlage Coliseum will be no easy task for Kansas, but it will do its best to ruin K-State's perfect 17-0 record at home.
"As I told them, we will have, I think, a good game plan going in, and it will be a true test for them," coach Marian Washington said. "When you go into that facility now, they've got a nice crowd that's following them."
The Wildcats average 8,358 spectators per home game.
If Kansas has any kind of an edge heading into the contest, it is that K-
State's sophomore guard Laurie Koehn will more than likely miss her 10th consecutive game with a sore right foot. Koehn is the team's fourth leading scorer, averaging 13.5 points per game.
Over the past week, the Jayhawks have been through a roller coaster of emotions. Last Wednesday, the team snapped a four-game losing streak by beating Nebraska on the road, 62-58. At
nome on Saturday, the Jayhawks nearly came back from an 18-point second half deficit, only to see Baylor pull away in the end, handing out a 77-61 defeat.
The team has seen improved performance in its half-court set over the last few games as sophomore guard Aquanita Burras has seen more time at point guard. Also, freshman forward Tumara Ransburg, who slumped through a portion of

State rivalry puts natives head to head
Kansas State will go for its 21st consecutive home victory when it takes on Kansas tonight.
By Shane Mettlen

The Wildcats have a 20-game winning streak at home, dating back to last year, which is the sixth-longest NCAA streak for women.
A victory against the Jayhawks would be the fifth time in school history that K-State was undefeated at home.
K-State leads the all-time series against Kansas 44 to 40, and 20 to 13 in Manhattan. K-State has won the last three meetings between the rivals.
The last time the 'Cats lost at Bramlage Coliseum was Feb. 13, 2002, against Oklahoma.

Ephedra ban would guard against future tragic deaths
It appears on store shelves, in magazines, over the airwaves, and now the drug ephedra has reached all the way to Major League Baseball clubhouses.
After Baltimore Orioles right-hander Steve Belcher died last week during spring training, his wife, Kiley, is suing the makers of Xenadrine RFA-1, claiming the dietary supplement found in Belcher's locker contributed to his early death.
But what an easy option it is for busy college athletes. In an arena where a person's body size and overall physical appearance is scrutinized so closely by himself, the media, teammates and even coaches, it seems natural, even necessary, to pop a few pills every day. A player's got to keep up. He might think that if a teammate or opponent uses quick weight-loss supplements, it must be fine.
Student-athletes at Kansas could easily be contaminating their bodies as Belcher did, risking their careers — and more importantly, their lives — on products not even approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
That's what Belcher thought, too. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Xenadrine would combine with other factors — hypertension, dehydration and extreme workouts — to aid in his untimely death.
So why was the first known ephedra-related fatality — a drug used by more than 20 million Americans — a professional athlete, someone who is much more fit than the rest of the population?
Unlike the NBA or NFL, which bans the use of ephedra, MLB has no rules against its players using metabolismboosting products. But that all may change now that the department of Health and Human Services is considering an immediate ban on the substance. With time, Congress likely could order federal agencies to begin an investigation into ephedra supplements — a smart move.
As long as the purchaser is 18 years old, drugs like Xenadrine, Metabolife and Hydroxycut can be bought at health and discount stores nationwide.
Steve Betcher's first child will be born soon, and his wife is taking the appropriate steps. By suing, she is ensuring that their child will not be caught up in the ephedra frenzy by using the product that claimed the life of a rising 23-year-old athlete and could easily cause much more grief in the future.
Bowlers finish season No.5

Last weekend the KU Bowling team continued its winning ways at the Hoosier Classic in Bloomington, Ind. The classic was the last regular season tournament of the year.
The Hoosier Classic was one of six tier-one tournaments KU participated in. Coach Mike Fine said the Jayhawk's final tournament of the season was a competitive one.
"All of the best teams in the country were at this tournament." Fine said.
Not only was the competition difficult, but the lanes were also difficult. The lanes at a public bowling ally are oiled evenly. However, the lanes at the Hoosier Classic were oiled in strategic spots to make hitting the one-three pocket, the best area to get a strike.
extremely difficult. This style is known as sport bowling. Fine said the margin for error at this tournament was slim.
The men's team, currently ranked fifth in the national power rankings, finished second overall out of 34 teams. It held a total pinfall of 8,646 pins, second only to in-state rival Wichita State who finished with 8,739 pins. Third place was a long way behind KU —138 pins back to be exact.
Jason Elliott, Salina senior and University Daily Kansan copy editor, led the men with a 202 average. Elliott was the only Jayhawk selected for the all-tournament team, Ryan Ludwig, Kansas City, Kan., senior, was just behind Elliott with a 202 average.
The women finished ninth at the Hoosier Classic out of 24 teams. They are ranked No.16 in the nation. Although they didn't come out as high as the men, they finished the tournament higher than five teams that advanced to the National Championships last season.
Kelly Sanders, Omaha, Neb., freshman, led the women in what Fine described as her best performance of the year. Sanders finished with a 180 average and just missed the all-tournament team. Annetta Manthel, Rochester, Minn., sophomore, finished with a 170 average.
As top 20 teams, KU will make the National Championship Tournament. What is undecided is what bracket it will be seeded and where tournament play will begin.
Fine said the Midwest was loaded with talented teams. KU will likely begin postseason play in St. Louis or in Las Vegas. Postseason play kicks off March 22 and 23.

It's Bernard King of Texas A&M. King has a career total of 1,926 points — Kansas senior Nick Collison trails him with 1,882. But don't let the total fool you. King has long been the lone scoring threat for coach Melvin Watkins, who now has freshman Antoine Wright chipping in 15 points a game, but in the Aggie offense King is king.
Even with a 13-10 record (5-7 Big 12) some punts place the Aggies on the proverbial bubble for the NCAA tournament. Should Texas A&M get a streak going, and Missouri slips, the Aggies could find themselves with a

Kansas must put the Oklahoma loss out of its mind. It would not be easy for Kansas to win, but it's not impossible. Nick Collison missed some easy shots against the Sooners but should be able to reestablish himself in the Allen Fieldhouse paint.

part, but lacked the ability at the plate to get clutch hits with runners in scoring position, which was so important to the 1999 team that advanced to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
This year two of those six transfers, junior outfielders Cory Patton and Justin Ruggiano, have joined the Aggie squad and say that their goal is simple — providing the run production that the Aggies lacked last year.
"It's all about getting hits at the right time," Patton said. "Coach (Mark) Johnson always says 'RBIs win games, not hits.'"
If RBI are indeed the difference, then Patton will be a huge pickup for the Aggies this year. The 5-foot-10 powerhitting right fielder from Seward County Community College in Liberal led the team with a .465 batting average in 2002, and led the nation with 31 home runs and 119 RBIs.

Player's suspension cuts Cyclone roster
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State's thinning basketball roster got even thinner when reserve forward Clint Varley was suspended after being arrested for drunken driving.
Varley's blood-alcohol level tested at .199 after he was stopped by campus police at 2:03 a.m. Sunday, ISU police Capt. Gene Deisinger said. A person is presumed drunk with a blood-alcohol content of .10.
The police report said Varley was stopped after he made an illegal right turn at a stoplight. He admitted he had been drinking beer and had red, bloodshot eyes, the report said.
Iowa State coach Larry
Eustachy said Varley was suspended indefinitely.
"I have met with Clint and he is aware that this incident is of a very serious nature," Eustachy said in a statement released by the university.
The Cyclones lost a key reserve when center Chris Alexander quit the team earlier this month.
Varley, a 6-foot-4 inch senior, was the only substitute Eustachy used in Iowa State's 64-61 victory over Kansas State on Saturday.
Last week,guard Marcus Jefferson went home to East Chicago, Ind.,to be with his ailing mother and was back for last night's home game against Colorado.
Mizzou's thin bench meetsOU
The Associated Press
Missouri's dominant season at home is about to be put to the ultimate test at 8 tonight when Oklahoma visits Columbia, Mo.
The Tigers are 13-0 in the Hearnes Center this season but haven't faced the likes of No. 3 Oklahoma. The Sooners are coming off a dominating effort against No. 7 Kansas, leading by as many as 32 points in a 77-70 victory. Oklahoma also has won nine in a row in the series against Missouri since losing in the 1997 Big 12 tournament.
The run for the Sooners, who are No.1 in the RPI rankings, includes an 81-75 victory over the Tigers last spring in the West Regional final.
"Oklahoma is playing as well
as anybody in the country right now." Missouri coach Quin Snyder, who's 0-6 against the Sooners, said. "Part of the growth process for this team is really learning how to compete."
Missouri (16-7 overall, 7-5 Big
12 Conference) will be without
guard Ricky Clemons indefinitely.
Clemons broke his left
hand in Saturday's 89-68 loss at
Colorado.
The injury leaves the thin roster, which has only seven scholarship players, even thinner.
Missouri is off to its best start at home since 1995-1996, when it also won its first 13. But the Tigers have been struggling elsewhere, and are 6-6 overall in their last 12 games.
"That's what this team is discovering as this year progresses." Snyder said. "How to
compete, how to play, every little play."
Hollis Price and Quannas White each had 19 points as Oklahoma (19-4, 10-2) destroyed Kansas early, although the Sooners got a scare at the end. Snyder put little stock in the Kansas comeback.
"Anytime you have two teams of that caliber and one gets way ahead, it's hard to play from 20 points ahead," Snyder said. "The game changes and I don't know if you read too much into that."
Price will present problems for Missouri. Coach Kelvin Sampson said he had never had a more versatile player.
"Hollis is just one of those kids that doesn't come along very often," Sampson said. "He just never takes a possession off.
Everything you read or hear about him, it's true, and it may not be giving him justice."
But Oklahoma is wary of Missouri's success at home.
"You can't take any team for granted," White said. "They're not winning on the road, but they're still a tough team to beat. They've got us at their place and it's going to be a tough game."
Oklahoma might be without Jabahri Brown, who had a concussion against Kansas. Sampson said if the game was yesterday, he would not be available, but that the extra day might help.
"One of the side effects of a concussion is constantly falling asleep, and he's having some problems with that," Sampson said.
Coach says he'll stay with Creighton program for now
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — With college basketball's hiring-and-firing season fast approaching, Creighton fully expects suitors to line up seeking coach Dana Altman's services.
And why not? Altman has led the No. 17 Bluejays to their finest regular season. At 24-3, they've already equaled the program's record for wins in a season.
After being out of the national polls for 27 seasons, they've been ranked since early December.
They're bidding for a thirdstraight Missouri Valley Conference title, and they're closing in on a fifth-straight NCAA tournament appearance.
As the 44-year-old Altman has built the Bluejays into a consistent winner, he's been the focus of speculation when jobs have opened in recent years.
Altman has built a 170-98 record in nine seasons to become Creighton's winningest coach.
All the while, he has opted to stay at the 6,000-student Jesuit school that, as a midmajor university, must work harder for top recruits and exposure.
People around the Creighton program said they guard against taking Altman for granted. Boosters are aggressively raising money to sweeten the coach's deal.
"Our concern is the same as in
any other business or organization, which is when you have people doing an outstanding job you want to retain them."athletics director Bruce Rasmussen said. "That's the case with Dana."
Soon after its approached by New Mexico about its coaching job last spring, Altman said he wouldn't mind retiring at Creighton after another 15 seasons.
He acknowledged he had some interest in openings at Miami in 2000 and Minnesota in 1999, but he couldn't bring himself to leave Creighton.
"Almost every year he's been here there's been discussions about him going elsewhere,"
Rasmussen said. "Dana has continued to be here."
Altman recently reiterated in an interview with The Associated Press he and his family are happy in Omaha.
"The right job, if I were to leave, hasn't come up." Altman said. "If the right thing ever comes up, great. If it doesn't, I hope Creighton will put up with me for a while."
Bluejay fans want to "put up" with Altman for many more seasons.
Some influential Bluejay boosters have a war chest titled the Coach's Inner Circle Fund they are ready to tap to thwart any attempts by other schools to ooow Altman away.
Omaha businessmen Howard Hawks, David Sokol and Dave Slattery solicited $320,000 in pledges during a fundraising dinner last week at the Omaha Country Club.
"Even with the money in the fund," Slattery said, "we can't compete if a Big 10 school came after him. That would be seven digits, easily. We can't pay him half of his market value. But we think we can help close the gap."
Altman's base salary in 2000- 2001 was $398,784 and he received $24,848 in benefits, according to Creighton's most recent Internal Revenue Service Form 990.
His outside revenue, such as
camps and contracts with athletic equipment companies, is not public record.
Hawks, who moonlights as a University of Nebraska regent, said his group isn't necessarily worried about losing Altman.
He said it's more motivated by a desire to give Altman what he deserves.
"There's a belief that Dana has been loyal to Creighton," Hawks said. "We need to be loyal to him."
Altman said he is flattered by the boosters' efforts.
"It's nice to be wanted," he said. "That's human nature to feel that way when somebody says publicly that he would like to see you stay."

Former Cincinnati player awaiting reinstatement
The Associated Press
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Mike Schmidt acknowledged yesterday attending a meeting last November between commissioner Bud Selig and Pete Rose, and speculated the career hits leader could gain reinstatement soon.
"I'm optimistic that things will happen fast enough that you might see Pete at Reds' opening day this year," Schmidt said on his first day as a special hitting instructor for the Philadelphia Phillies. "I don't want to become the commissioner on this issue, but I'm optimistic."
Last week, however, a high-ranking baseball official said Selig doesn't plan to consider Rose's application for reinstatement before opening day.
Rose
I will do my best.
Phillies
The Cincinnati Reds, the team Rose played for from 1963 to 1978
and later managed, open their new ballpark on March 31 and Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken wrote to Selig in November, urging that Rose be reinstated by the first game in the Great American Bali Park.
Schmidt, a Hall of Famer and a teammate of Rose on the Phillies' 1980 World Series championship team, attended the Nov. 25 meeting in Milwaukee that also included Rose, manager Warren Greene, Selig and Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer.
"I'm not going to report on the exact things that were said, but
Pete did meet with the commissioner and hopefully in a period of time Pete will be reinstated," Schmidt said. "I think that particular day opened the eyes of people to allow Pete an opportunity to return to baseball."
Rose agreed to a lifetime ban in August 1989 after an investigation of his gambling. Baseball investigator John Dowd detailed 412 baseball wagers in 1987, including 52 on Cincinnati to win, but Rose has repeatedly denied he bet on baseball.
Baseball officials have said Rose must admit he bet on baseball if he is ever to gain reinstatement. As long as he is banned, he is ineligible for the Hall of Fame ballot.
During the 2002 World Series, Hall of Famers Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench, teammates with Rose on the Reds' 1975 and 1976 championship teams, approached Selig about reinstating Rose.
"Joe and Johnny put the bug in the commissioner's ear that if (Selig) would give the forum, Pete might do the right thing, whatever the right thing is." Schmidt said. "Johnny Bench has recently been supportive of Pete. Of course, Joe always has been. I've been in Pete's corner. Pete wanted me to be there (at the November meeting)."
Since the meeting, the momentum to Rose's possible reinstatement has stalled following the revelation that the Internal Revenue Service placed a lien on a home Rose owns in the Los Angeles area, claiming $151,689 in unpaid federal taxes from 1998. Baseball officials also were surprised by reports Rose was seen last month at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas and the sports book at Caesars Palace.
Schmidt thinks Rose will stay out of further trouble if his ban
"I'm optimistic that things will happen fast enough that you might see Pete at Reds' opening day this year."
Mike Schmidt
Hitting instructor for the Philadelphia Phillies
from baseball is lifted.
"He won't have the free time to travel around," Schmidt said. "He won't be doing card shows. He'll be back doing what he has a passion to do and what he does best — and that's be involved in baseball in some way."
"Pete knows he's got a Hall of Fame career, but becoming a Hall of Famer is not the No.1 priority of Pete Rose." Schmidt said. "He really wants to be a manager."
Schmidt talks with Rose on the phone every few weeks, and said Rose most wants to work in baseball, not get into the Hall of Fame.
Schmidt promised to keep lightning for Rose until the ban is lifted.
"The way this whole thing is choreographed really has been a nightmare," Schmidt said, "Trying to do it when the timing is right; meeting with Hall of Famers, don't meet with the Hall of Famers; speculation about some of the things that Pete has been seen doing or involved in; IRS issues. In my mind, that's making it take three or four months longer than we all thought I would."
Schmidt is confident that Rose will be back in baseball soon, though.
"I know, based on the conversations that we had, the commissioner is very much interested in allowing Pete Rose to return to baseball," he said.
SURPRIZE, Ariz — Joe Randa was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 1991, lives in a Kansas City suburb and signed for a salary below his market value to remain with the club.
Loyal Royal wants to leave team
The Associated Press
But Randa does not expect to be with the club next year.
"My time has run out here," Randa said. "They tried to trade me a couple of times this winter.
R
Royala
They haven't come to me asking for a contract extension. If they did, I probably wouldn't sign it."
Randa, 33, who has never played on a winning club and said he was tired of losing, would prefer to play for a playoff contender before his career ends.
The Royals are coming off a 100-loss season and are rebuilding this season with young pitchers.
Randa's tenure with the Royals almost ended in December, when he was almost traded to the Chicago Cubs for minor league prospects. Club president Dan Glass stepped in to veto the trade at the last minute.
"I came in this year feeling different," Randa said. "Some wounds are pretty deep. There was so much going on this winter. The business side of the game you have to deal with. It definitely doesn't feel the same this year."
Randa is in the final year of a $4.5 million contract, making him one of the highest-paid players on a club that is trying to cut payroll.
"I'm going to go out and prepare myself whether I'm here or somewhere else," Randa said. "I might get traded next week. I might get traded at the trading deadline or I might not get traded at all.
"It is not on my mind 100 percent, but it is on my mind. I'm at the stage where stability is not quite firm."
Randa hit .282 with 11 home runs and 80 RBI last season. In eight seasons, Randa has hit .283.
"It's definitely gotten old," Randa said. "I've probably been in more team meetings the last three years that players have been in their whole career.
"It seems like every 10 days we're having a players' only meeting or a coaches and players meeting."
Golf rivals back on same greens
The Associated Press
CARLSBAD, Calif. — Tiger Woods and Ernie Els are the talk of golf, even though they haven't been within 6,000 miles of each other in almost four months.
Call this a rivalry in absentia;
They are on the same golf course for the first time since the Tour Championship at East Lake, but unless they bump into each other on the practice range or in the lunch room at La Costa, they might not see each other at the Match Play Championship.
The following week in Dubai — if they go — might not be much different.
Ditto for Bay Hill and maybe the Masters.
"That's the problem with our game," Woods said. "It's very hard to play well all the time.
And on top of that, we don't play that many events together. But I think if there's anyone I should come down the stretch with, it would probably be Ernie."
Imagine the top two players squaring off in the 36-hole final at La Costa.
"Not real likely." Woods said.
The top two seeds have never made it through five 18-hole matches since the Accenture Match Play Championship began in 1999.
In two of the four years,the top 10 seeds were gone by the weekend.
That doesn't mean a Woods-Els rivalry will lose any luster.
It helps to have the best two players going head-to-head, particularly in the major championships.
But the meat of any rivalry in golf is winning, and both have done that better than anyone else lately.
Els has won 11 times in the last 14 months,including four of five tournaments this year.
Woods has eight victories during that stretch and whipped the field at Torrey Pines when he returned from knee surgery.
This is not the first time Els has stepped into the ring.
The Big Easy won his second U.S. Open, in 1997 at Congressional, just two months after Woods won the Masters by a record 12 strokes.
The next year, Woods rallied from eight strokes behind in the final round and beat Els in a playoff at the Johnnie Walker Classic.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 26).
today's birthday it is
You'll get insight and support this year from friends, both old and new. Other things may come and go, but friendships are forever. The real ones, anyway. You'll find out whether or not they're real.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
The most important lesson you can learn is self-discipline. You get to practice now by obeying somebody else—cheerfully, if possible.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8.
Instead of traveling to visit friends, have them come to you. They'll go for that idea, because your hospitality is world-renowned.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5.
With careful planning, and by sticking to your budget, you can get a pleasant surprise. You may end up with more than you thought. Good work!
Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today
is an 8.
Romantic talk is nice, of course, but that's not where love really lies. Actions speak louder than words, and they might even be more trustworthy.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5.
Although you're not the only one on
the job, they all look to you for
advice. You're the one who believes
it can happen. Now, tell them how!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8.
Find some time for personal pleasures in your busy day. Schedule a date with the one you love or with a likely applicant.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6. New responsibilities you've taken on lead to new status and new friends. Those fringe benefits are nice, because it'll be a while before new money comes in.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is an 8.
Encouragement from a loved one helps, and you may be taking a risk.
but you can succeed. Do what you love,and do it well.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 5.
is there a toy you've been-thinking about, or a special vacation to take? Put money down on a gift for yourself, for being such a good kid.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8.
Your best course of action should be obvious, especially regarding money. To increase your future bounty, invest in a safe and time-honored way.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 6.
It should soon be obvious who has exactly what you lack. You may have to pay, but that's OK if this helps you generate work.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is an 8.
Accept the congratulations of family and friends. You've made it past the most difficult part. Make time for a celebration.

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

Adding to the intrigue of this Sunflower Showdown is the fact both teams are stocked with instate talent.
Reigning Big 12 Conference Player of the Week, Nicole Ohide, hails from Clay Center while the conference's leading scorer, Kendra Wecker, is a native of Marysville.
The pair are also the leading rebounds for the Wildcats.
Another top player. Mound Ridge native Laurie Kochn, has missed the last seven games with an injury.
The Jayhawks are led in scor
ing by Topea freshman, Crystal Kemp, at 10.9 points per game, Blair Waltz, Leawood sophomore, is fifth on the team at 7.5 points a game and Stacey Becker, McPherson sophomore, will try to build off a 12 point performance in Saturday's loss to Baylor.
"I love playing Kansas State," Becker said. "I have been playing against those girls all of my life, ever since seventh grade. Playing against them makes us have to step up our game a lot more."
Becker said facing the Wildcats was a motivational factor.
Kansas coach Marian Washington acknowledged the challenge Kansas State poses to her
team, but sees an opportunity for the lav hawks.
"I am really looking forward to the game and so are the players," Washington said. "We will have a good game plan going in. We will have to stay very focused, and hopefully put ourselves into a situation where it will be a decent game."
The Wildeats want to play before a big crowd against the jayhawks.

"And I hope that the referees throughout the entire country will continue to emphasize basketball skills as opposed to the weight room," Williams said. "It's always been a physical league, but I don't think we've gone overboard at all and I don't think we're any more physical this year than we have been in the past."

Topeka freshman Crystal Kemp has that honor, as her 10.9 points per game is a sliver more than Ransburg's 10.8 points per game.
But the athletic Ransburg, who hails from Kansas City, Mo., is ready to become a premier player in the Big 12 Conference, if not the country.
"When you look at her, and see how she is coming along, you know it will be a lot of fun to see her out on the court for the next three years," said
Kansas coach Marian Washington.
One doesn't have to look far to see how Ransburg's game has evolved.
Despite Kansas suffering its 10th loss in 13 conference attempts Saturday against Baylor, Ransburg scored a career-high 25 points.
Ransburg, who is Kansas' leading rebounder, was one rebound short of recording her third straight double-double against the Bears.
Lately, Ransburg seems to be a shadow of the player that spent far too much time early in the season on the bench in foul trouble.
"Tay's only going to get better," Washington said Saturday. "She's a lot smarter with shots that she goes after. She likes to be
aggressive, but I think she's smarter."
Even if Ransburg's numbers don't accumulate tonight like they did the last time she faced the Wildcats.
She tallied 13 points, 10 rebounds and had a solid effort against K-State's Ohide and Wecker in Kansas' 88-49 Big 12 opening-loss at Allen Fieldhouse in January. Ransburg has hardly begun her run at possible Big 12 reign.
"I love to play against them," Ransburg said of facing the Wildcats. "Their team makes me play better."
If that's the case, the best player on the court tonight might just be wearing crimson and blue.

could set for Student Senate to pay other student groups for their services.
Tiffany Lopez, Asian American Student Association senator and president, was against the bill. Lopez said every year AASU had a traditional dragon dance, a cultural event in which students within the group displayed their talents. She said it was the same situation, but AASU didn't ask for money.
Lopez said she appreciated the topics the proposed bill brought up even though she didn't agree.
"I think it starts a precedent for Student Senate to make more cultural exceptions," she said. "It will force us to make decisions on a more individual basis."
The group's senator and Student Head Lady, Yvette Washington, said she didn't sponsor the bill to fund the powwow or the honorarium because she personally wanted to get the money. She was elected by the group to be Student Head Lady. Washington said it was part of Native American tradition to receive something in return for a performance, whether it was money or another form of appreciation.
Mark Dupree, Black Student Union senator and president, was strongly in favor of the $400 honorarium. He said no one could truly understand the cultural significance inherent in the group's traditions without being a group member.

Campaign recognized
By Josh Kendall editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
Politics and the Student Senate do not mix well, but yesterday the senate agreed on a resolution supporting a local political coalition.
The Senate, which is a nonpartisan body, passed a resolution to recognize the Progressive Lawrence Campaign that three of the six candidates for the city commission — Mike Rundle, Dennis "Boog" Highberger and David Schauner — support. Jeff Allmon, community affairs director of the Student Senate, said the progressive candidates had the students' interests in mind.
The three candidates, the top three vote-getters in Tuesday's primary, were not affiliated with any party, so the Senate's support didn't affect its nonpartisan stance, Allmon said.
"The Progressive Lawrence Campaign does not affiliate itself to any party, but merely addresses issues that affect students." Allmon said.
Allmon said the candidates in the campaign supported living wages, affordable housing and planned city growth that directly corresponded with student issues.
Katie Wolff, senator for the college of liberal arts and sciences and research coordinator of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, wrote the resolution and said she hoped it would begin a dialogue between the students and city government. College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senators represent students enrolled in the college with more than 60 hours. The support by the Senate was designed to jump start this relationship she said.
"We just want to let the candidates know that the students have taken a stance on this issue and we support them." Wolff said.
Wolff was not alone in her opinion. The entire Senate, except one senator, voted last night that the resolution was in the best interest of the students.

Task force evaluates vending
By Nikki Overfelt

Kansan staff writer
KU students craving a healthy snack may be able to get their fix at vending machines on campus in the near future.
Healthier vending machine options are the goal of the task force, Health Options for Movement, Exercise, Body Acceptance and Savvy Eating.
As a part of Celebrate Every Body week, Ann Chapman, dietitian and coordinator of the task force, and other members of the task force asked students to fill out surveys about their views on campus vending yesterday.
The task force plans on approaching Treat America, the vending company the University is contracted with and it hopes to have an impact, Chapman said.
The idea stems from the dissatisfaction in options she has heard from students and faculty, Chapman said.
"We feel we'll be better equipped if we act-

Refrigeration would be needed for many of the options, but Chapman said she had been told many of the machines could refrigerate foods but just had to be turned on.
The healthier options the task force are considering are yogurt, fresh and dried fruits, bagels and cream cheese, string cheese and whole wheat crackers Chapman said.
ally have responses from students about their dissatisfaction," she said.
Kara Rechterman, Tipton, Iowa senior, is an advocate for the task force and said she would like to see foods such as granola bars in vending machines.
Another option for students and faculty who have access to a microwave would be foods such as soups, she said.
Juliann Mitchell, a Lawrence graduate student who filled out the survey, doesn't use the vending machines now but would if the machines had healthier options, she said.
"Students need healthier options than just candy bars and big liters of pop," she said.
"I don't even really look because I know there's nothing there anyway," she said.
Ron Buhr, Lawrence senior, also filled out the survey and said he would be more willing to visit the vending machines if they contained options such as health food bars.

Student analyzes tax abatements
Computer program helps researcher determine if tax breaks improve city
By Angela Hein and Ehren Meditz editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
High on the sixth floor of Blake Hall, graduate student Luke Middleton and his computer analyze economic data that could decide which new jobs and companies come to Lawrence.
Middleton handles tax abatement requests for the city as a research assistant at the Center for Economic and Business Analysis, an arm of the Policy Research Institute at the University of Kansas.
The Lawrence City Commission grants tax abatements, a waiver of taxes on real estate and purchased equipment, to lure companies to Lawrence.
Using numbers from these companies, he enters data into the institute's computer model to determine whether the company's benefits to the city outweigh the costs.
His computer then spits out a "yes" or a "no."
Actually, it prints out more than 20 pages of detailed analysis after a week's worth of work.
"It's one of the most important things we use," said Jere McElhaney, Douglas County Commissioner and member of the Public Incentives Review Committee. The committee assigns a favorable or unfavorable rating to a company's abatement request.
Tax abatement policy remains a controversial issue in Lawrence. On Tuesday, voters narrowed a field of city commission candidates with clashing perspectives on living wage requirements and tax abatement policies to six.
Middleton said the KU benefit-cost model was derived from a version created at Kansas State University 15 years ago.
The institute hired Middleton, who graduated with a degree in Economics in May 2000, to update the model. He has worked with it ever since. The city negotiates a paid contract with the institute every year.
The model uses an array of factors and variables to estimate whether the tax break will be a good or bad investment for the city.
"It estimates the origin of the company's employees, how much of their disposable income will be spent in Lawrence and even the number of new children that will be attending the city's public schools," Middleton said. Middleton said the model had changed many times, which made it, in his opinion, the best of its kind.
However, he stressed that it was one of a multitude of factors that should be considered when debating tax abatements.
"It's just a book at dollars, and there's a lot more to life than dollars," he said.
The model cannot calculate intangible costs and benefits, like environmental damage and the social benefits of economic growth.
It also makes no recommendations to the city on how much tax to waive, or if the company deserves an abatement at all. Middleton said the model could not calculate those values.
Kirk McClure, professor of urban planning and committee member, said the committee did not adequately consider those other factors.
"The PIRC, as it stands now, is a useless entity," he said. The meeting functions only as a "rubber stamp" instead of a place for debate, he said. McClure also said the model remained limited in its usefulness and overblown in its importance.
"This benefit-cost analysis fails as a utility," he said. "We all know the benefits exceed the costs. They're letting it shelter them from the harder political question." McClure said the harder question concerned whether the company merited a tax break or if other incentives would be as productive.
McElhaney disagreed with McClure's notion that the committee was worthless. He said the committee made sure that companies met four criteria: that they operated in an environmentally sound manner, were small or medium in size, offered at least average wages and met a certain benefit-cost ratio.
"It should not, and should never be, a place to air personal opinions," he said.
The city granted the last abatement in late January for the biotechnology company Serologicals Corporation.
The company plans to invest $25 million in Lawrence by purchasing land and equipment.
Its 10-year tax abatement saves the company a total of $2.5 million. Middleton said no other abatements were currently under consideration.

KU on Wheels will hold hearing on new bus routes
KU on Wheels will take comments and suggestions for new bus routes at its hearing Monday between 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Wheat Room of the Organization and Leadership office on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union.
"This is the best opportunity for students who continually have issues with the bus schedules to have their issues actually heard and dealt with." Tim Akright, transportation coordinator, said.
Akright encourages all proposals to be made ahead of time by calling 864- 4644.
He said the strongest cases to add routes could be made from apartment complex directors who knew how many students would use the route.
The transportation board will discuss the comments and suggestions in its meeting the following Monday. Route changes, and additions will be implemented for the Fall 2003 semester.
Large donation helps KU First near scholarship goal
Kansas University Endowment Association's KU First campaign to raise money for scholarships is up $60,000 thanks to Eric "Ric" Knorr and his wife, Darlene Knorr.
Their $60,000 cash gift and estate gift counts towards KU First's goal of $500 million, which is currently at $404 million.
Of the Knorr's pledge, $25,000 will establish a scholarship in medicine; $10,000 will be added to a scholarship
they established in 1984 in honor of Ric's parents, James and Virginia Knorr, to a qualifying KU athlete majoring in business; and $25,000 will be included in an unrestricted fund in their names.
John Scarffe, director of communications of the Endowment Association, said the unrestricted fund was a priority for their callers.
"It's great gift and particularly wonderful to get the unrestricted gift because that provides the flexibility for the University to meet unforeseen needs,"Scarffe said.
Senate committee will host meeting about new MRC

Consumer issues from Zelda to fries
COMMON CENTS
This week seems like a prime time to do a "state of the union" consumer run-down. Here are bits and pieces of consumer issues, complaints and controversies in the news this month, as well as some that should be Americans' confidence plummet
The consumer confidence index dropped to its lowest point, 64.0, since 1993 this month. According to Tuesday's msnbc.com article "Consumer confidence crumbles," other factors are to blame include rising oil prices and a weak stock market.
In other words, we're in more trouble than when Clinton first took office, people wore hammer pants and slap bracelets, and Beavis asked for TP for his bunghole.
Consumer confidence is monitored by economists to determine spending trends and is a strong indicator of where the economy is headed.

The Zelda lovers have it
Video game sales increased by 10 percent in 2002 to a total of $10.3 billion, according to USA Today. This is the second year video game sales have outnumbered box office sales, which brought in $9.3 billion last year. No word yet on the number of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome cases in 2002.
Where are the new card machines?
Although gold chip readers were supposed to be phased out in the last month, KU Card Program Coordinator Nancy Miles said the process was taking longer than expected.
Students will receive an e-mail when the transition is complete,
Miles said, which should happen around spring break.
Meanwhile, Coke has removed his card readers from machines, leaving changeless students up a creek — but never fear, copies can still be made with KUID cards.
Where are the new fries?
But John Munsterman, second assistant manager at McDonald's, 4911 W. Sixth St., said his restaurant had not made the transition to the new fries.
McDonald's announced in September it would switch to new, lower fat fries. A Sept. 2, 2002, msnbc.com article states, "All 13,000 domestic McDonald's restaurants will use the oil by next February."
"I haven't heard anything about it," Munsterman said.
Don't forget the pizza delivery man/woman
One reader posed the following question about my Feb. 13 tipping column: "What about pizza delivery boys? We always get stiffed."
For this I returned to tipping.org for a professional
opinion, which suggested $1 or $2 for short deliveries, $2 to $3 for longer distances and $5 or more for large deliveries. Of course, if you're having a pizza delivered in sub-zero, icy conditions, take mercy and offer a bit more than a buck.
Finally, unalienable rights for... cell phone users?
Yesterday's edition of USA Today stated that Sen. Charles Schumer (D-New York) unveiled a cell phone user's bill of rights yesterday. The bill would ensure that customers could keep their cell number when switching companies and access pricing plan info from carriers.
Interestingly enough, however, nowhere does the bill ensure a cell phone user's right to talk loudly about his or her personal life in public places. Go figure.

Students Together Excelling in Education as Peers and Hawk Linkwill be sponsoring the Hawk Link Step Tutor Social at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union.
Belinda Hinojos, graduate teaching assistant and stEp coordinator, said the study social was the third it had hosted.
"It's a time in which we take a break from studying," she said.
Hinojos said there would be food, drinks and games at the
Before the study social there will be tutors available from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Multicultural Resource Center.
She said 55 students were involved with the free tutoring program offered.
The program is designed to provide academic tutoring as well as mentoring for first-year students of color.
Hinojos said tutors could help students in Spanish, math, English and some of the sciences.
According to the Hawk Link Web site, the program is in its
fourth year to recruit and retain students of color. It was one of three retention programs recognized nationwide with the Retention Excellence Award at the National Conference on Student Retention in Washington last year.
Hawk Link collaborates with a number of services across the KU campus, including the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, the Office of Admissions and Scholarships and the Office of Student Financial Aid to recruit and retain minority students.
"If students have questions about enrollment or advising, we are able to point them in the right direction," he said.
Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of the multicultural resource
office, said about 200 students were involved with Hawk Link, which provides services to help students succeed in academics.
Izaguirre said tutors were normally available Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Students who want to meet with a tutor must go to the Multicultural Resource Office and fill out a request form.

SUA puts forth effort to bring in speakers
Well-known speakers such as Ralph Nader, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Gloria Steinem have made visits to campus in past years, but students may not know the work that goes into bringing these speakers to the University of Kansas.
"What the committee generally does first is decide on a possible budget, and then we start brainstorming who we, as students, would like to see speak," said Quinn Gorges, SUA forums coordinator, co-chairman of the Student Lecture Series and Wichita senior.
"This year we decided to formulate a list of speakers that represented the diversity on campus," he said.
Student Union Activities and Student Senate have teamed up each year since 1992 to present the yearly Student Lecture Series. To begin planning the lecture, a committee made up of representatives from both organizations forms near the end of the fall semester to plan the event.
After deciding on a list of possible speakers the committee determines whether any of those speakers are available.
"We felt around to see who would be able to come," said Lauren Stewart, SUA vice president for University Relations and Wichita sophomore.
Following a past tradition of surveying campus organizations, this year the committee sent an e-mail to the organizations Listserv requesting them to choose three people from the
STUDENT UNION ACTIVITIES
SUA
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
proposed list of 10 speakers they would like to see speak.
Top choices included film director Spike Lee, poet Maya Angelou and feminist-activist Gloria Steinem, Gorges said. Lee spoke in 1997, so the committee decided to try to secure a date for Mava Angelou.
"My main objective was to get a big name to campus that would pack the house," said Andy Wymore, co-chairman of the Student Lecture Series and Leawood junior.
The first step is to have the proposed budget approved by both groups before writing a contract for the speaker, Gorges said. The budget includes speaker fees, airport transportation, a dinner at the Union prior to the event, a small gift for the speaker, the Lied Center rental fee and a reception at the Lied Center after the speech.
The committee secured about $32,000 this year for Angelou's visit, but because of conflicting schedules, the group had to move on to its next choice — Steinem, Gorges said.
After speaking with Steinem's agent, the committee and Steinem signed a contract that secured the date of the speech. Steinem spoke Feb. 10 at the Lied Center.
"We had the most successful Student Lecture Series in close to five years." Wymore said. "Last year we had something like 400 attend, this year we had almost 1,900."

COMMENTARY
Louise Stauffer opinion@kansan.com
Whoever said smiling was the universal language was obviously not from this one. As Professor Auerbach, one of my professors here in Italy, said, "Smile here at people and they will either think you are American, or insane." This is true. However, even if you are insane, people still have to listen to you.
I, of course, disregarded this advice, along with the tip about packing more than five pair of socks, and still smile a lot here. Flashing a smile has pulled me out of many sticky situations. Like when I forgot to weigh the fruit at the supermarket and made the entire line wait while I went back. Just smiled. Or how about when I paid for a cafe with a fifty euro bill? Smilled. I definitely smiled when I
Smiling can also be used to deter staring, which is very common in Italy. It is no big deal if someone decides to stare at you during an entire two-hour train ride to Venice. Yes, it happened to me. I discovered that a wide grin and bulging of the eyes seems to stop the stoic gaze Italians have mastered.
If anything is the universal language, it is hand gestures. The Italians have this mastered; maybe to communicate with all the tourists. I use hand gestures to
indicate anger, such as when I got clipped by a scooter last night. Or an "OK" gesture can be used for satisfaction with a really good meal. Here is the trick: the more passionate you are, just increase the gesture. Foot gestures can be used in extreme situations. Our Italian instructor Daniela advised us to use a loud stomp of the foot, a wide hand gesture, and to shout "excusa, una birra" all at once if, God forbid, we had a long wait in a pub. It works.
For women, smiling at guys is ill-advised. They really will think you are in love with them. By observing the locals, I too have become a master of lowering my eyes and saying to a friend through gritted teeth "is he looking at me... how about now? NOW?"
Smiling is still a language, it's just that the meanings are confused between countries. If they think I'm insane, no big deal. That's one opinion common to both Italy and Lawrence.

American flag takes sinister meaning abroad
PERSPECTIVE
Editor's note: Ali Cullerton writes a bi-weekly column about her experiences while studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain.
Earlier today, I sat facing the window on the second story of a bocadillos restaurante. While sipping on my café americano sim leche, I witnessed a powerful expression of human rights. In the plaza across from me hundreds of people of varied ages and colors joined hands and began to protest the potential war. Within minutes, a barren tiled plaza in front of La Universitat de Barcelona transformed into a ballroom for freedom of speech. My eyes closed, refocused and opened while before me a sea of voices shouted, "No a la guerra!" repeatedly, which means "No wart." As the wave began to take over the streets, I did what
We were walking through the rain, wet, shivering and smiling. Above us the birds even seemed to be joining in on our fight. People clapped along on their balconies, construction workers and window washers shouted with us while hanging from the sides of buildings, and even the policemen and women nodded their heads in unison. The streets of Barcelona were camouflaged; suddenly the common city noises were hushed by a chant of peace and a mob of tangible voices to back it.
any activist would have done. I grabbed my books, left a euro on the table for my drink and joined them.
I felt a part of the protest in my opposition to the war when a scent of smoke challenged my beliefs. Behind me a Spanish man of 20-something was burning an American flag. While the vast
majority of people were expressing themselves in a positive light, I could not get myself to forget the darkness of one individual's fire. I was torn between facing reality and wanting to stick up for all that the American flag represents
What does "The Star Spangled Banner" stand for in present-day society? As much as I hate to say it, I can understand how the stars that used to embrace freedom now threaten it.
There is a negative affiliation with the American flag because it represents a country that is backing a terrible potential war. George Bush's face might as well be tattooed between the stripes because that is what foreign people are seeing when faced with it. Our flag is challenging and invasive to people in other countries who equate all Americans with war and greed.
We need to be heard. We need to keep protesting the war, educating ourselves on peaceful options, talking with fellow Americans and volunteering. We need to take advantage of our freedom and attempt to spread it.
What can we do about it? How can we reclaim the banner that is said to be ours?
Thousands of people throughout the world are protesting the war right now. Handfuls of languages are all chanting the same song. Imagine the power of joining hands with these people and demanding peace in a universal language. The fight is not over and the ballroom is waiting, we simply need to join in the dance.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Bars, clubs in Lawrence must employ safety first
A
Common sense would say that 500 people can't fit through one door at the same time. Common sense would say that you don't use pepper spray in a club filled with more than twice its capacity crowd. Common sense would say that you don't set off fireworks in a packed small room that doesn't have a sprinkler system.
Using common sense could have prevented deaths. Using it in clubs and bars here in Lawrence can prevent events like the tragedies in Rhode Island and Chicago from ever happening here.
In Chicago on Feb. 17, 21 people were crushed to death when a stampede of people tried to escape through one door because pepper spray was mistaken for a terrorist attack.
We as students neglect safety in the way of having a good time when we go to places such as Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., or The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Club owners should worry about safety regulations; we should use common sense.
One person yelling "terrorist" in a crowded night club is the same as yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. It has the same effect.
Keep alcohol consumption to a level that doesn't inhibit critical thinking.It's hard enough to worry about date-rape drugs and drunken driving.Now we have to worry about exit signs and fire occupancy codes? It shouldn't come to that.
-
In West Warwick, R.I., Thursday, 97 people died when pyrotechnics for a small concert set the stage on fire.
It doesn't have to if we keep our heads level and use common sense.
In two instances in the same week, night club safety became the center of attention because people died.
That goes for everyone - the students doing the partying, the managers and the security personnel running the clubs and bars.
The next time a student walks into a club or a bar he should ask: is having a good time worth forfeiting common sense?

Basketball-loving Jayhawk saves for trip to Thailand
By Megan Hickerson
mhkerson@hotmail.com
Kansan staff writer
Every face in the crowd and every name in the phone book has a story behind it. Every week, Kansan writer Megan Hickerson tells the story of a randomly selected KU student.
Nick Wright is saving his pennies and dimes for a $1,000 plane ticket to his mother's homeland this summer.
Faces in the Crowd
25-hour plane ride to Thailand in May for a month-long trip with his mother. Wright's mother, Rusamee, moved to the United States from Thailand at age 17 when she married an American.
The Olathe sopho more will endure a
"It was always my dream as a young woman to move to the United States," Rusamee Wright
said.
This will be Nick Wright's third trip to Thailand. He said although the city life in Thailand didn't phase him much, the amount of poverty amazed him.
"It's just like New York without expensive cars," Wright said. "It's really hard to live there in a Third World country with the starvation and poverty. By the time I get used to it, I'm already gone."
Although Thailand is regarded to be a poverty-stricken area, Wright said his family couldn't be more generous. They are always trying to give him money, he said.
"People who don't have as much are willing to give more," Wright said. "People are stingy in the U.S. We take it for granted."
Wright and his mother will stay with family for the duration of their stay. Because he speaks no Thai, the conversations between Nick and his family are limited.
Aside from the language barrier, Wright always has plates of authentic Thai food to look forward to. The only place near Lawrence that comes close to his family's cooking is The Blue Koi in Kansas City, Mo., he said.
Wright's favorite restaurant dishes are the Ants on a Tree, a dish consisting of pork and noodles, and the China Moon, an appetizer with shrimp.
On top of 16 hours of business classes, Wright also clocks in 16 hours a week at the Spencer Museum of Art.
His $6.50-an-hour salary doesn't compare to the $11-an-hour that he makes working for his dad's manufacturing business during the summer. The money he makes will help Wright afford his trip.
---
Although his school and work schedules seem hectic, Wright sets aside extra time to cheer on the men's basketball team at Allen Fieldhouse. He hardly ever misses a game; his trip will take place in May, after March Madness, which Wright wouldn't be able to watch in Thailand.
Scott Reynolds/Kansan
In addition to a 16-hour class schedule Nick Wright, Olathe sophomore, is working to save money for future travels. Wright has made plans to go to Thailand with family this summer.

Protesters use Net to stage Washington, D.C., march
By Kelley Weiss
kweiss@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
People around the country were able to march on Washington, D.C.. yesterday without walking a step.
The Win Without War Coalition sponsored a campaign to virtually march on Senate and House offices, the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon to protest a possible war with Iraq.
According to MoveOn.org.
200,000 people signed up to call,
e-mail and fax every Senate office
throughout the day yesterday. Each person signed up for a time to contact the senators, and the campaign's goal was to have every Senate office bombarded with calls, e-mails and faxes throughout the day.
Sarah Ross, press secretary for Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, said the phone lines at Roberts' office in Washington had been nearly blocked all day by the large number of calls from Kansas voters. Capitol Hill was assaulted by calls all day making the Washington telephone system overloaded, Ross said. Robert's office receives several hundred calls each day,
Ross said, but yesterday was unique because there were so many calls on one day.
"This is a little more extreme than usual because people can't reach our office," Ross said. "It has been a problem because people can't get through."
Eric Hotmire, spokesman for U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, said Brownback's office had received 250 phone calls from Kansans against a war in Iraq. The number of calls yesterday was double the average amount of calls Brownback's office received in one day over a controversial issue, Hotmire said. He said the contact the office
usually received from Kansas voters about going to war in Iraq was split, with half of Kansans supporting Bush using military force to remove Sadaam Hussein from power and the other half opposing it. The large volume of calls, emails and faxes Capitol Hill received yesterday was impressive. Hotmire said, but too late because Congress voted a month ago to authorize the use of force in Iraq.
"It's interesting this is happening now," Hotmire said, "The timing for this is odd."
Lawrence residents participated in the virtual march, but Amanda Flott, Omaha, Neb., junior, said she was not able to get through to Brownback's or Roberts' offices. Flott tried to call the Kansas senators' offices in Washington at 6:30 a.m. yesterday and several more times during the day, but said she only heard, "We're sorry all circuits are busy, please try your call later."
The virtual march was a good way to get the anti-war message across to Washington, Flott said, but she would like to see more aggressive action taken.
"I think it's another effective way," Flott said, "But it's time for the anti-war revolution to move up to the next level and cause
some real impact."
The virtual march campaign that The Win Without War Coalition organized was an example of the changing methods of the peace movement to protest war, Allan Hanson, Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice coordinator and assistant professor of anthropology said. The use of the Internet to disseminate information is a great tool for democracy, Hanson said.
"Using the Internet is enabling grass roots movements to take root that they weren't able to do before," Hanson said.

CAMPUS BRIEFS Four KU students nominated for Goldwater awards
Goldwater awards
Four University of Kansas students have been nominated for the Goldwater scholarships. John J. Daniels, Tonganoxie junior; Sarah E. Feldt, Norman, Okla., junior; Kelly N. Flenthe, Sabetha junior; and Joshua E. Meyers, Wichita junior, will compete with a national pool of more than 1,000 students for the $7,500 scholarships.
The board of trustees of the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship in Excellence foundation plans to award up to 500 scholarships for the 2003-2004 academic year.
The winners will be announced in early April.
"It was impressive just to be nominated since this was a record year for applicants," Daniels said. "Overall, our chances of winning are pretty good, though. KU has a good reputation in this. Last year all four nominees won scholarships."
The four KU students all study math or science and were nominated after submitting applications that included essays and faculty recommendations.
Since the first scholarships were awarded in 1989,29 KU students have been awarded Goldwater scholarships. The program was established by Congress in 1986 as a tribute to the retired senator from Arizona. The scholarship program is intended to ensure a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians and engineers.
KU music and dance professor to provide multimedia show
Kip Haaheim, University of Kansas assistant professor of music and dance, will team up with University of Arizona composer Daniel Asia for a multimedia performance at Swarthout Recital Hall.
The event is at 7:30 p.m. Sunday and is free to the public.
The two artists released a DVD of electronic music called Sacred and Profane in fall 2002.
The music will be accompanied by video images created by Lawrence artist Janet Davidson-Hues.
Davidson-Hues serves on the adjunct faculty in the Art Department at KU and frequently performs under the name Janet Planet.
"The DVD allows for higher quality and a surround sound that puts the audience in the middle of the performance as opposed to being removed from it," Haaheim said. "There are things happening on all sides of the audience."
JJ Hensley
Haaheim has been teaching music theory, composition and electronic music at the University for two years.
He met Asia while studying for his D.M.A. at the University of Arizona.
Asia is a professor of composition and head of the Composition Department at Arizona.
"The video is unique and beautiful." Haaheim said. "The music is a sound landscape that is at times funny, beautiful, and abstract."

Moped riders: parking scarce
Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan
By Kevin Wigs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Anyone who drives a vehicle has experienced being in a hurry while desperately searching for the last available parking spot.
Drivers of mopeds and motorcycles say it is difficult to find parking spots on campus, despite the eleven parking lots with available spaces. To park a moped near bicycle racks, like this one parked in front of Wescoe Hall, the vehicle must not exceed certain size requirements
But for those who ride motorcycles and mopeds to campus, this can be a frequent event.
Mark Brechtel, Counseling and Psychological Services psychology intern, calls the University of Kansas' motorcycle parking insufficient.
"Ive ridden a motorcycle to school or work for years at three different campuses," he said. "this is the first place that clearly would rather that I drove my three-fourths ton Chevy Van than my bike — as indicated by the total lack of parking."
Teresa Fernandez, English graduate teaching assistant, rides her moped to work, and said she had received a ticket for parking it on the bicycle racks.
"We need more parking
because I got a $20 ticket in front of Wescoe," she said. Although she parks only at Wescoe, she said, more spaces are needed on other parts of campus.
To park on the bicycle racks, a moped must have an engine smaller than 50 cubic centimeters and go no faster than 30 miles per
hour. Anything larger or faster is considered a motorcycle and must park in the designated motorcycle parking.
Michele Eodice, director of the KU writing center, rides a moped to work from her home three blocks away.
"I bought this moped specifically for campus, and so I could park with the bikes," she said.
The difference in size and speed also affects the prices of permits. A moped permit costs $20 per year, $13 per semester and $8 for summer. A motorcycle permit costs $40 per year, $25 per semester and $20 for summer.
According to a map of campus parking lots on the parking department's Web site, 11 parking lots on campus have motorcycle spots available.
For now, the parking department is not planning on adding any more motorcycle parking,but Donna Hultine, director of the parking department, said it would add more if someone expressed a need.
"We add parking based on usage," she said. "I'm not aware of a problem since I don't ride a motorcycle, but we would review it if someone pointed out a problem."

"We are going to be setting a precedent of disrespect," Dupree said. "We don't understand their culture."
Kyle Johnson said he didn't have a problem with funding any amount of the honorarium for the group if it was for someone who was not a group member.
"It's something we shouldn't do because it opens the door for any group — multicultural or not — to ask for money to pay their own members," he said.
Washington said the group
exhausted every option to find the Head Lady and Man outside of their tribe but decided to go with the students because they had the talent. She said this was an opportunity for Student Senate to support another culture.
"You are putting limits on us, so how do you expect to experience other cultures if you do this?" she said.
After discussion ceased, many senators voiced their strong recommendation for all senators to attend the group's powwow April 5 at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion.

help," Astrid McMullen-Baker, fine arts senator, said.
The Senate has already begun other efforts to get students more involved in local politics. The Senate is sponsoring an open political forum to showcase the commission candidates planned for March 26 in the Kansas Union.
Tama Aga, engineering senator, was the one dissenting voice. He said he thought the Senate didn't know enough about the
candidate's stance on issues.
"I see an endorsement to a political party rather than issues that address the students," Aga said.
Sponsors of the resolution spoke out at the meeting, saying that the campaign was not a political party.
"The campaign is hardly as strong as a coalition. The three candidates are just a group with the same ideas that have pooled their resources," said Sam Pierron, nontraditional senator.

Conn. fire kills 10 in nursing home
The Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. — A suspicious fire ripped through a nursing home before daybreak yesterday, killing 10 people and forcing 100 residents, some of them bedridden, elderly and confused, into the freezing cold. Police said they wanted to question a resident about the blaze.
The fire at the Greenwood Health Center also injured 23 people, seven critically. Many of the injured were already chronically ill.
"It's certainly the worst fire we've had in the city of Hartford for several decades," Fire Chief Charles Teale said.
Investigators have detained a 23-year-old resident, Lt. Michael Manzi said. Police Chief Bruce Marquis said the resident had not yet been questioned.
"We are unable to interview that individual right now because that person is under the care of
medical professionals and thus deemed not stable," Marquis said. He said the cause of the fire had not been determined.
Flames and thick smoke forced residents out of the single-story brick building and into the darkness. The home cares for coma patients, psychiatric patients and elderly or retarded people, and rescues had to struggle to take many of them out on gurneys and in wheelchairs.
The fire broke out at 2:40 a.m. and damaged two sections of the building. In all, 100 of the 148 patients were evacuated. Authorities later found a place for them in another part of the home.
More than 80 residents remained at the center yesterday afternoon; about 50 were transferred to other facilities.
Fire Marshal William Abbott said the home was up to code, and extinguishers were present. There was no sprinkler system, but none was required.
Nevada proposes brothel sin tax
The Associated Press
PAHRUMP, Nev. — The manager of one of Nevada's finest brothels proudly walks the 297 acres that surround The Resort at Sheri's Ranch, pointing to the $7 million expansion that opened last year. She glows when talking about the sports bar, the themed bungalows, the Jacuzzi rooms.
So good that several influential Nevada lawmakers said the industry should do more than fulfill sexual fantasies. With the state facing a deficit of as much as $704 million, some legislators want to tax the fees of Nevada prostitutes in what could be the ultimate sin tax.
"Business is good," Laraine Harper said.
"Everybody should pay," said Assemblywoman Shella Leslie, a Reno Democrat. "It should be taxed just like any other entertainment."
Brothels and hookers in Nevada — the only state with legal prostitution — are subject to
federal income tax on their overall earnings and have to pay various county taxes and fees. But Nevada has no state income tax.
Some say a state tax on sex acts would further legitimize an industry that many people prefer to keep at arm's length. A state tax could also hurt the small rural counties that depend on revenue from local brothel taxes. And some fear it could drive legal prostitutes underground.
The brothel owners are not particularly enthusiastic, either.
"What are the girls going to do?" asked Geoff Arnold, president of the Nevada Brothel Association. "Have a calculator in the room? The girls aren't the best at math."
They may have to learn.
Gov. Kenny Guinn has proposed a 7.3 percent tax on entertainment and admissions that is expected to generate $82.5 million in its first year. His proposal lists movies, professional sporting events, adult cabarets, strip clubs, art galleries and cabaret contests,
among, others, as subject to the tax.
Brothels are not listed in the blue ribbon commission's 1,100-page report on which Guinn based his proposal — but they also are not listed among the exempted businesses, which include massage, yoga and golf.
There are 28 licensed brothels operating in 10 of Nevada's 17 counties. They generate tens of millions in profits, though precise numbers are guarded as house secrets. The state Health Division estimates 365,000 sex acts are performed in Nevada's brothels annually, or 1,000 a day.
The brothels employed hundreds of women and paid more than $500,000 to counties in license fees, room taxes and other levies last year. The counties use the money for a variety of purposes: in Nye County, it finances a $120,000-a-year ambulance service.
"If it fits one of them out business, it would hurt the county."
Some counties fear a state tax would pinch off that revenue.
said Storey County Commissioner Greg Hess. "For some of these rural counties the brothels are a major source of income."
Prostitutes are considered independent contractors, with most splitting their fees with the brothels. Depending on what lawmakers decide, the prostitutes themselves could be responsible for paying some or all of the 7.3 percent tax.
At Sheri's, which is about an hour west of Las Vegas in the dusty town of Pahrump, prices can range from $200 to $50,000. The brothel handled more than 10,000 customers last year; business is so good Sheri's intends to build a $42 million PGA golf course.
"If they add another 7 percent, that puts us in the 40 percent tax range," said 42-year-old Destyny, a former prostitute at Sheri's who is now employed at Bella's Men's Club in Wells. "After the house gets our 50 percent, the IRS wants 40 percent. That's not fair. They get enough of our money."

Residents recover,rebuild after Chinese earthquake
The Associated Press
QONGKURQAK, China—Wu Xiaoning was jolted awake to find her house collapsing. Wang Xiaomi dashed outdoors and saw school children throwing themselves to the rumbling ground in terror.
The violent quake that struck this remote part of China lasted only seconds. But when it was finished, this farming town lay in ruins. At least 266 people were dead, according to official count, and the lives of thousands of others were devastated.
The quake rumbled through the western Xinjiang region Monday, leaving 90 percent of the
town's 30,000 residents homeless as row upon row of mud-brick houses collapsed into dust. The area.1,750 miles west of Beijing is so isolated that rescuers were still arriving yesterday.
"I was awakened by a huge sound," said Wu, who is in her 40s. "I realized the walls in the room next to our bedroom were collapsing because of an earthquake. I was so frightened. My husband jumped on top of me to protect me. Everywhere there were people screaming."
Yesterday Wu and her husband were lying outdoors on a makeshift bed, sharing a thin mattress on a wide wooden
bench. She was bleary-eyed and had straw in her hair.
"If the earthquake had lasted any longer, our bedroom would've collapsed and I wouldn't be here today," she said, smiling. "I really thank my god."
The quake struck at 10:03 a.m., but caught many people asleep or eating breakfast — a quirk of government policy that enforces the same time zone across China. This far west, where the sun in winter doesn't rise until after 9 a.m., people begin their day two hours behind the official clock.
In all, officials say, 266 people died, 2,055 were injured and more than 3,000 buildings were razed.
Surrounded by a vast expanse of ocher-colored dust, Qongkurqak (pronounced Chong kur chak) is in one of China's most remote areas, lying at the western edge of the vast Taklamakan Desert.
At dawn yesterday, clusters of families were camped out in makeshift beds in front of their gutted homes, huddled under thin quilts as they tried to keep warm in freezing temperatures. The Chinese Red Cross said it worried about disease among people who lacked adequate tents and blankets, while the government said it was rushing thousands of both to the region by truck and train.
The air was filled with smoke of hundreds of cooking fires. Families sat beside a jumble of possessions pulled from the wreckage—a chair, a wooden table, a guitar.
Around them was a litter of broken tiles, bricks, bits of concrete, wood and shards of glass.
By noon, the town's grid of streets was bustling with cars, motorcycles and wooden mule-drawn carts. Children wandered about, holding hands. Men smoked and chatted.
For the first time since the quake, vendors at a market set up stalls selling fruit, clothes and huge pink cuts of goat meat.

"Today, I opened because we all have nothing to eat. Everyone has to eat," he said. "My house is gone. Three relatives are gone. But life goes on."
American forces prepare war plans
The Associated Press
CAMP AS SAYLIYAH, Qatar — The American general who would lead an Iraq invasion finetuned the battle plan yesterday with his senior commanders.
The operation would be executed from a command post shielded by a chain-link fence hidden inside a warehouse on this remote desert base.
Army Gen. Tommy R. Franks met for several hours with the commanders of his naval, air, land and special operations forces, who normally report to him from their war-fighting posts in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
If war comes, Franks would command the operation from Camp As Sayliyah, a 262-acre compound outside Doha, the
Qatari capital, although he has the technological capability to direct it from either his permanent Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla., or a new airborne command post.
Although Franks' appearance at Camp As Sayliyah raised speculation in the Gulf that an Iraq war was imminent, aides said he intended to return to the United States this weekend for further consultations with Bush and others.
About 200,000 U.S. troops have gathered on Iraq's periphery, and more are en route from the United States and Europe. Britain is contributing 45,000 troops.
U. S. Air Force fighters would attack mainly from bases in Kuwait, Qatar and Turkey. Bombers would fly from Oman
and the island of Diego Garcia. Support planes would operate from Saudi Arabia and several other countries.
The Navy has five aircraft carriers within range of Iraq—each with about 50 strike aircraft aboard. The Marines would operate as part of the Kuwait-based ground force as well as the air effort.
Franks also held talks yesterday with British Defense Minister Geoff Hoon, who said afterward that Saddam still has time to avert war.
Hoon told a news conference the British government is confident the U.N. Security Council will pass a resolution authorizing war against Iraq and he predicted anti-war sentiment around the world would subside in the days ahead.
Hoon also echoed Franks' comments, in an Associated Press interview Tuesday, that U.S. and allied military commanders cannot guarantee the safety of civilians who would position themselves near potential bombing targets.
Franks has declined to say publicly which command post he would use to run an Iraq war, although it was clear from a tour of the Joint Operations Center here that Camp As Sayliyah would be the primary nerve center.
The highly restricted operations center, run by about 50 military personnel, uses advanced computer and communications technology to coordinate movements and planning among the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.
North Korea urges preparation for attack
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea North Korea urged its people and armed forces to be ready for war and said yesterday that it could be the U.S. military's next target after Iraq.
The communist government in Pyongyang accuses the United States of planning to send reinforcements into its coastal waters as a precursor of invasion.
Washington has repeatedly said it wanted a peaceful solution to the standoff over North Korea's nuclear activities,but said it leaves all options open.
In a statement carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency yesterday, the Foreign Ministry accused the United
States of planning war games in South Korea so it could attack the North.
Also yesterday, the North said an American spy plane made a new intrusion over the country.
The official Korean Central News Agency said the RC-135 reconnaissance plane flew above the country on an intelligence mission, according to the Yonhap news agency, which monitors dispatches from Pyongyang.
KCNA made the same accusation Tuesday, noting that flight signaled the United States was trying to "find an opportunity to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK."
DPRK, or Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is the official name of North Korea.

'September 11' group threatens embassies
The Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A group calling itself "September 11" sent terror threats to the U.S., Australian and British embassies in New Zealand, warning it has 55 pounds of cyanide to use against American interests if Iraq is attacked, police said today.
A squad of anti-terror police is working to find the author of the threat contained in four letters that mentioned the America's Cup yacht race in Auckland.
One of the letters, which were intercepted by postal workers at the Auckland mail center, contained cyanide crystals, according to counterterrorism police chief Assistant Commissioner Jon White.
Britain's Foreign Office confirmed yesterday that a suspect package "containing traces of cyanide" had been sent to the British High Commission in Wellington but said it had no information on the group September 11.
White said all the letters also contained a white powder. Authorities have not identified that substance but have ruled out anthrax, he said.
The identical letters, addressed to the ambassadors of the United States, Australia and Britain and to an Auckland newspaper, said the group aimed "to challenge the actions of the great satan America and resist its imperialist ambitions in the Islamic world."
Australian group that called itself September 11. But they were unaware of a group in New Zealand by that name.
White said police knew of an
The name seems an obvious reference to the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington by Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.
"September 11 waits at the Americas Cup for instruction if Iraq is attacked by the host of satan all interests and there supporters will be attacked by September 11," the letters said. They were written in English and thick with errors in spelling and punctuation.
"September has stockpiled 25 kilo weapon grade cyanide and will use those against those interests wherever they are," the threat adds.
White said there were similar features between the letters sent last Friday and one sent to the U.S. Embassy last year.
That letter, which contained enough cyanide to kill 20 people, had threatened the New Zealand Golf Open in which Tiger Woods played in January 2002.
Cyanide is widely used in animal pest control, mining and other industries.
Police were reviewing security at the America's Cup, already high before the threat. They recommended people be careful about eating food served in public.
At the America's Cup venue on Viaduct Harbor in downtown Auckland, restaurant and cafe operators removed open sugar bowls, salt and pepper shakers and self-service water jugs yesterday.
Missouri upsets Oklahoma
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA. Mo. — Rickey Paulding rescued Missouri from a second-half letdown, scoring 8 of his 14 points in a 2:18 span, as the Tigers stayed perfect on their home court with a 67-52 victory over No. 3 Oklahoma on last night.
Ricky Clemons, playing with a broken left hand, had 13 points and three assists for Missouri (17-7, 8-5 Big 12 Conference). The Tigers are 7-6 in their last 13 games and dropped out of the Top-25 last week. But they are 14-0 at the Hearnes Center and pulled away late to end a nine-game losing streak against the Sooners, who shot a season-low 27.3 percent.
Arthur Johnson added 20
points and 11 rebounds and Travon Bryant had 14 points for Missouri.
Coach Quin Snyder had been 0-6 against Oklahoma, and Missouri hadn't beaten the Sooners since the 1997 Big-12 tournament. It was only the second loss in 11 games for the Sooners this season.
Fans stormed the court after the buzzer to celebrate the victory.
Oklahoma (19-5, 10-3) was red-hot in its last game against Kansas, leading by as many as 32 points in a 77-70 victory. The Sooners were frustrated by a zone early against Missouri and had a scoring drought of more than eight minutes in the first half, falling behind 30-22.
A 13-0 run that featured six free throws and was capped by a 3-
pointer by Hollis Price was the lone shining sequence for the Sooners, giving them a 37-36 lead with 10:40 to go. Paulding responded with two free throws and two 3-pointers for a 46-39 lead with 7:57 left.
Bryant hit a 3-pointer and had a dunk on consecutive possessions to put the Tigers ahead 55-43 with 4:47 to go.
Clemons broke his non-shooting hand in a 21-point loss at Colorado on Saturday and on Monday the school said he would be sidelined indefinitely. After testing the hand with 200 shots after the mid-afternoon walk through he played with it wrapped to the wrist and the initials "NPNG," presumably standing for "No pain, no gain," etched in marker
on the tape.
Price led Oklahoma with 16 points, and also had five rebounds, but was 4-for-12 from the field. Ebi Ere, averaging 14.6 points, was held to 5 on 1-for-11 shooting. Quannas White, who had 19 points against Kansas, was 2-for-12 and had 6 points.
Clemons had two three-pointers during an early 13-0 run that gave Missouri a 20-9 lead. Oklahoma missed eight straight shots before Ere ended a drought of 8:40 with a three-pointer at the 6:10 mark.
Missouri built its early cushion with minimal contribution from Paulding, the team's leading scorer at 16.7 points per game. Paulding scored on a drive for his first points with 3:09 to go, and had four in the half.
Royals to bring home new player
"Independent ball is like start-

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Morgan Burkharwart was a longshot to leave spring training as a member of the Kansas City Royals, but he defied bigger odds to make it to the majors with the Boston Red Sox.
intrasquad game yesterday.
Burkhart is a first baseman and designated hitter. Mike Sweeney, a three-time All-Star who hit .340 last year, is set at first base for the Royals. Rookie Ken Harvey, the MVP of the Arizona Fall League and the Royals' top hitting prospect, is the leading candidate to play DH.
But betting Burkhart won't appear at some time this season for Kansas City would likely be a mistake. The switch-hitting Burkhart homered right-handed off Darrell May and doubled left-handed off Zack Greinke in an
Burkhart helped Central Missouri State win the 1994 NCAA Division II championship, but was not drafted. He signed with Richmond (Ind.) in the independent Frontier League, where he became a minor-league legend.
Burkhart was named to four Frontier League All-Star teams and won three consecutive MVP titles. He captured the 1998 Frontier League triple crown with a .404 average, 36 home runs and 98 RBIs in 80 games.
The Boston Red Sox then signed Burkhart and he hit 23 home runs with 77 RBIs in 105 games with Triple-A Pawtucket in 2000. Promoted to the majors June 27, he went 2-for-4 in his debut and hit a single off Mike Mussina in his first at-bat.
ing in the lower level," Burkhart said. "I was there for four years and Boston gave me a shot. I was thankful for the opportunity."
Burkhart, who grew up in St. Louis as a Cardinals fan, said he put up decent numbers, but "not unbelievable" numbers at Central Missouri.
"Nothing that would probably stand out," he said.
His Frontier League numbers, however, were off the charts.
Burkhart had never been to Fenway Park when the Red Sox called him up.
"I got a little stronger and matured a little bit," said Burkhart, who turned 31 in January. "I learned a little bit and put up good numbers in that league."
"The best thing is I flew in and was in the lineup that night, which made it easier," Burkhart
said. "You don't have time to take in things."
Burkhart hit .288 with four home runs and 18 RBIs in 73 atbats with the Red Sox. He played mostly with Pawtucket in 2001, and hit .182 in 11 games with Boston.
Burkhart, who has also played winter ball in Mexico and Colombia, spent last year in Japan with Fukuoka, but was limited to 47 games because of a shoulder injury, which required surgery last July.
He said the Royals were the first team to contact him during the off-season and he signed in November.
"When I was at Central Missouri, it was only about 45-50 minutes to Kauffman Stadium and I came up to watch many games," Burkhart said.

Olympic officials face scandal
The Associated Press
International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said last week that he was worried about preparations being made for the 2004 Summer Games.
So imagine the sigh of relief that went up from Colorado Springs, Colo., when the swells in blue blazers figured out Rogge was talking about the Olympic committee in Athens and not them.
But the light mood at the United States Olympic Committee headquarters didn't last long.
A whole new set of storm clouds rolled in Tuesday.
CEO Lloyd Ward survived a move to oust him during an executive committee conference call, according to published reports yesterday.
A motion to dismiss Ward was raised but members did not vote on it during the call, USOC
acting president Bill Martin said.
There are also reports that Ward rang up some questionable travel expenses.
According to The Gazette of Colorado Springs, Colo., Ward not only traveled to Atlantic City, N.J., to see Evander Holyfield fight on the USOC's dime, he took his wife to Geneva for a meeting with Rogge and then she flew to Los Angeles by herself for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships last January.
Ward offered explanations for each expense, but like several things he has said recently, there was another side to the story.
For example, Ward said his wife sometimes took his place at official functions when he had a conflict, which was what happened at the 2002 figure skating championships.
"She's an official delegate of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and it's provided for in my
employment agreement," he said.
But Patrick Rodgers, the committee's former ethics compliance officer, told the newspaper. "The representatives of the USOC are the president, secretary general, officers and board members. His wife is none of those things."
Ward and Rodgers have disagreed before, which helped explain why Rodgers was the former compliance officer.
According to charges leveled in December, Ward helped his brother set up a business in the Dominican Republic — which just happened to be the site of the 2003 Pan Am Games — and then tried to steer some business his way.
Eventually, Ward was reprimanded by the executive committee and denied a $184,000 bonus.
But he was probably spared the ax only because USOC big-wigs couldn't stomach any more turnover — not after going
through four chief executives and three presidents, in the past three years, and enduring a bribery scandal that stemmed from Salt Lake City's successful Winter Olympics bid. So of course, five ethics committee members resigned in protest, including Rodgers, followed by USOC president Marty Mankamyer, who walked out soon after losing a power play of her own.
Some athletes are tiring of explaining away one mess after another to sponsors.
"It's tough on us to defend a group that keeps making the same mistakes over and over again and not be held accountable," said Rulon Gardner, whose gold medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the 2000 Summer Games was one of the most inspirational U.S. wins ever. "They should be representing us like we represent them and holding us in the same high regard they expect us to hold them in."
New elections for Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—The redesigned Veterans Committee failed to elect anyone to the Hall of Fame yesterday.
Former Brooklyn Dodgers first baseman and New York Mets manager Gil Hodges came the closest to election, getting 50 votes and falling 11 votes shy, according to a baseball source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Former hitting star Tony Oliva and former National League umpire Doug Harvey each had 48
votes, the source said, and former Chicago Cubs third baseman Ron Santo had 46.
"I'm more hurt than disappointed," Santo said. "I was little bit too high. I feel I played the game the way it should be played. I felt I should be in there."
Marvin Miller, the union head who helped players gain free agency, had 35, the source said. Yankees manager Joe Torre, a former All-Star who led New York to four World Series titles, received 29.
announced by the Hall later yesterday.
To be elected, a person had to be listed on at least three-quarters of the 81 ballots that were returned.
The last time the Veterans Committee failed to elect anyone was 1993.
For years, there were 15 members on the Veterans Committee and many baseball fans claimed the panel was full of favoritism suggesting it met behind closed doors in Tampa to choose new Hall of Famers based on speeches, not statistics.
So, the Hall decided to try it a new way.
The new panel included 85 eligible members; the 58 living Hall of Fame players (newly elected Gary Carter and Eddie Murray don't get to vote yet), 25 Hall writers and broadcasters, and two members from the former Veterans Committee whose terms had not expired.
"It certainly gives other people a voice in the process," Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer said Tuesday. "I think it's probably a little fairer this way. I think it's a terrific idea."
Proposal results in debate concerning women's civil rights
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The law requiring equal opportunity for male and female athletes can be better enforced and explained, but the push to loosen the rules should be rejected, two dissenting members of a Title IX review study commission said yesterday.
Their views, outlined in detail in their minority report, aim to counter a series of proposed changes in how colleges carry out the landmark antidiscrimination law.
Critics, building a campaign around actors, athletes and leading senators, hope to spur opposition from a nation of parents.
In a morning news conference opponents also tied the proposed Title IX changes to President Bush.
"We plead with the president and the secretary of education and the Congress to understand the implications of the recommendations," said Julie Foudy, an Olympic gold medal winner in soccer and an author of the dissenting report.
"It could result in substantial losses to women in athletic opportunities," she said.
Education Secretary Rod Paige was set yesterday to receive those recommendations, compiled by his Title IX panel, as well as the minority report from Foudy and fellow commission member Donna de Verona.
At issue is the enforcement of Title IX, which prohibits
sports discrimination at schools that receive federal money. The commission came up with ideas intended to increase the flexibility of the law, but opponents see an attack on women's civil rights.
"These proposals are based on the stereotype that women are not as talented or interested in sports as men, or that men are entitled to greater athletic opportunities," said Sen. Edward M Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) "Those myths are contrary to the ideals and principles that led Congress to pass Title IX."
The minority report asserts that Title IX, in ensuring more opportunities for women over the last 30 years, has not been the cause of any cuts in men's sports. That point of contention is central to the commission's work and many of its recommendations.
The minority report says thereare fewer girls and women in sports because of "persistent discrimination" against them, not because of a lack of interest among females. Overall, the report says the commission gave short shrift to dissenting views, unfairly focused on men's sports, rushed its work and failed to even assess the impact of its ideas.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Washington), said she would ask for a hearing on whether the commission conducted a fair process. Other legislative moves to try to block the commission's ideas could follow, she said.

Miles needs to improve shot before NCAA Tournament
Before this season started, I said to myself, "Man, I hope Aaron Miles worked on his jump shot during the offseason to become a better shooter." Whatever he did during the offseason to become a better shooter, it hasn't worked so far this season.
Although he averages more points per game this year, his shooting percentages have noticeably dropped off.
Through 27 games last season, sophomore guard Aaron Miles shot 43 percent from the field and 39 percent from the three-point region. This year, with 27 games played, Miles is shooting 39 percent from the field and 23 percent from the three-point line, a drop of 16 percentage points.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Not that it's intentional, but it's easier for Miles to hide his subpar offense behind his teammates — senior guard Kirk Hinrich, senior forward Nick Collison, sophomore forward Wayne Simien and sophomore guard Keith Langford
Jason Hwang jhwang@kansan.com
because they provide the vast majority of the scoring. But there will be a point in this season, especially in the NCAA tournament, where Kansas will need to count on Miles to rise to the occasion and help out the offense if his teammates don't have a good game.
Miles has shown flashes of brilliance. He helped the team defeat Texas, scoring 15 points and shooting 7-of-14 from the field. He shot 70 percent with 16 points against California. Last night, Miles shot four of eight from the field and earned 10 points, but went zero for one behind the arc.
Miles must use the next three games left in the regular season
and the Big 12 Conference men's tournament to build up his confidence and shooting touch for the NCAA Tournament, especially from the three-point arc.
Miles, who leads the team with an 82 percent free throw percentage, must pick his spots and be able to hit the open jump shot. If he improves, it will draw the defender's attention and put less pressure on his teammates. He also has to be more aggressive to draw fouls and capitalize on free throws — Miles's forte.
He leads the league in steals and is second in assists, but he can become a complete point guard by becoming a better shooter, not necessarily a great shooter. Miles can be a special point guard for Kansas. It's up to him to help out his team if Kansas is going to have a chance to win the NCAA title.

Williams nominated for Naismith award
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams is among 25 finalists for the Naismith College Coach of the Year award, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced yesterday.
BASKETBALL
Williams coached Kansas to three Final Fours, eight conference championships and 13 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances in his fifteen-year career in Lawrence. Williams is also the fourth-fastest coach to win 400 games, tallying 409 victories after last night's game against Texas A&M.
The award will be presented on April 11 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

Redskins release players
Washington Redskins running back Stephen Davis was cut yesterday and so was Pittsburgh quarterback Kordell Stewart, adding two attractive players to what was otherwise a lackluster free-agent class.
The Associated Press
The release of Davis, one of the NFL's top running backs for the last half-decade, had been expected. If he didn't renegotiate his contract, he would have counted $11.4 million against the Skins' cap this season.
So was the release of Stewart, who had an up-and-down career in Pittsburgh after becoming its starter in 1997. After leading the Steelers to the AFC title game in 2001, he lost his job to Tommy Maddox early last season.
Yet another big-time player, Emmitt Smith, continued to dangle as the free-agent deadline approached. All teams must be at or below the $75 million salary cap by midnight.
Among other veterans released yesterday were quarterback Jim Miller and offensive tackle James "Big Cat" Williams by Chicago and tight end Wesley Walls by Carolina. And Tim McGee, the agent for Buffalo wide receiver Peerless Price, said his client would accept the one-year, $5.01 million tender offer as the team's "franchise" player, then seek a trade.
Dallas owner Jerry Jones said yesterday that he would decide by the end of the week whether Smith, who passed the NFL career rushing lead last October, would return next season. If he stays, Smith would count $9.8 million against the cap.
That could set up an odd exchange — Smith to Washington and Davis to Dallas.
Even though Washington coach Steve Spurrier doesn't have a particularly good relationship with Smith, who left Florida the year the coach arrived there, Washington
owner Daniel Snyder loves to sign big-name players, particularly if they played for NFC East rivals.
Davis, meanwhile, would fit perfectly with the offensive philosophy of new coach Bill Parcells, especially since the Cowboys' starting quarterback is the inexperienced Chad Hutchinson.
As for Price, McGee said his client would not try to negotiate a long-term contract with the Bills, for whom he had 94 receptions last season. Instead, he said he would try to negotiate a deal with another team that would give Buffalo the first-round draft pick it surrendered last year when it traded for quarterback Drew Bledsoe.
"We're going to pursue what's in Peerless' best interest," McGee said. "And if there's nothing out there that could afford him an opportunity to be a free agent, we're going to take the tender and play for the Buffalo Bills next year."
Ohio State student sentenced
By Michelle Payne
The Lantern (Ohio State U.)
(U-WIRE) COLUMBUS, Ohio The student expelled from Ohio State University for his involvement in the post-Michigan game riots received his jail sentence Monday.
early morning on Nov.24.
Benjamin Salzman, along with another man, appeared before Judge Anne Taylor in the Franklin County Municipal Court.
Salzman, a freshman at OSU, received 15 days in jail, 40 hours of community service and two years of probation for his involvement in the riots that occurred
"My emotions just got the best of me," Salzman said to local media outside the courtroom.
Gary Ciapetta, one of the victims of the riot, spoke at the sentencing. His 1997 Dodge Avenger was one of many cars overturned on E. 13th Avenue during the riots.
"I don't understand why these kids think that they have the right to destroy other people's property." Ciapetta said.
In addition to his sentence, Salzman was ordered to pay $100 to help cover the $250 insurance deductible Ciapetta had to pay.
Seth Haley of Dayton, Ohio, also was sentenced Monday after pleading no contest to one count of rioting. Haley, who is not an OSU student, received 10 days in jail, 80 hours of community service and two years of probation. He was ordered to pay $100 to Ciappetta.
Bill Hall, vice president for Student Affairs, said he hoped the sentence served as a deterrent for other students.
"Nothing restores the damage caused by the riots. I think the sentence demonstrates how seriously the community and university regards these crimes," Hall said.
Why is it so hard for a 30-year-old to think about retirement? When you're young, retirement planning is pretty far down on your list of concerns. Say, somewhere between the melting polar ice caps and dishpan hands. And that's completely understandable. But by planning early and sticking to that plan, you can increase the money you'll have to enjoy retirement, and potentially decrease the years you'll spend working. We offer a range of different options, including tax-deferred retirement plans, SRAs, and IRAs, all with low expenses. Now that's something to fall in love with.

stop fans from trying to tear the posts down. It worked — the posts stayed. (See Ohio State story on page 11A)
Richard Konzem, Kansas associate athletics director, said students should not run on the field.
"It creates a dangerous situation by trying to run onto the field," Konzem said. "People have been injured."
Jon Wauford, Miami (Ohio) defensive coordinator, knocked Robert Flaugher, a 36-year-old Marshall fan, unconscious when Flaugher rushed the field after the Miami-Marshall football game. Police arrested Wauford on the field.
In October 2001, Andrew Bourne, Ball State student, was paralyzed after goal posts fell on top of him and broke his back following a victory against Toledo.
Several teams have elected to pay more for the 1,800 pound steel goal posts rather than the lighter aluminum posts. Aluminum posts typically cost between $5000 and $6000 and

Chuck Korr, University of Missouri-St. Louis professor and sports historian, told The Dallas Morning News the reason fans rushed the field was called "fan entitlement."
weigh around 400 pounds. Steel posts cost around $30,000. It takes a crane to put in the steel posts and they are much more difficult for fans to take down.
But even that may not be enough to stop determined fans. After Kansas State upgraded, students spent more than an hour using TV cables wrapped around the crossbar to bring the posts down after K-State beat Neb-
"You can't be the sixth defensive back for the Dallas Cowboys, but you can show how much it means to you by running onto the field and celebrating."
Korr said.
The last time Kansas fans tore down the goal posts was in 1999 against Missouri. The fans were unsuccessful in 2000 when Kansas beat the 1-6 Colorado Buffaloes. Both Missouri and Baylor tore down the posts after beating Kansas' football team this year.

pointer two minutes later gave him his 23rd point —1 point fewer than the entire Aggie team combined at the time.
While it was business as usual for Hinrich, Kansas sophomore guard Keith Langford was enjoying his first big scoring night after three consecutive, sub-par games. Langford scored 18 points, 13 in the first half, after totaling 24 in his last three games combined. But
he wouldn't attribute his or the Jayhawks' torrid play to a lackluster from Texas A&M.

right shoulder in a Jan. 4 game against the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
The first three games of Simien's comeback gave Kansas fans hope that the sophomore forward could return to his role of patrolling the paint with Nick Collison.
Simien scored 21 points against Colorado and tallied 17 points in a loss to Oklahoma on
Sundav in Norman, Okla.
Simien told Williams after the game against the Sooners that he had experienced a high amount of pain after his 24 minutes of play.
The difference this time was that Simien's recovery time was much quicker. He did not feel any ill effects from the Oklahoma game during practice on Monday and Tuesday, according to Williams.
Williams told the media that Simien would not be available for questioning.
"Wayne's not talking." Williams said. "He wants you guys to give him a break."
Kansas has three conference games remaining beginning with Saturday's match-up with Oklahoma State at Allen Fieldhouse.
The season concludes with road contests at Texas Tech and Missouri. Forward Keith Langford said the team would stay focused and on becoming Big 12 Conference champions even if Simien was unable to play.

and how we needed to get better. Now we trust him with everything, basketball and our emotional feelings."
What Ransburg feels speaks right to the heart of Jacobs' work. He most wants to see his effort pay off. He longs to see Kansas in the NCAA Tournament for years to come.
And once the Kansas players' minds catch up to their talent levels, those tourney appearances will make Jacobs a proud man.

Offensively, freshman forward Crystal Kemp led Kansas with 14 points. Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras was the only other Jayhawk to record in double-figures, adding 12 points. Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg scored fewer double-figures for the first time in four games with 9 points, but pulled down eight rebounds.

Psychologist teaches team to visualize its potential
Once a week, sports psychologist Andrew Jacobs breaks from his private practice — The Winning Edge — in Kansas City. Mo., and drives to Lawrence.
It's not an unusual trip for Jacobs. In fact, he used to make the 43-mile trek from his office to Allen Fieldhouse more often. Back in the early '80s, Jacobs became Kansas' first-ever sports psychologist.
In 1984, he assisted the U.S. Olympic Cycling team, using his experience in mental preparation to springboard the squad to nine medals. Over the years, he's worked with the Kansas City Royals and far too many professional athletes to name them individually.
Now, he's back in Lawrence at the request of two women he befriended some 20 years ago.
Those two — women's basketball coach Marian Washington and assistant coach Lynette Woodard — remembered the quality of Jacobs' work and the mental inspiration and guidance he provided. They also, before this season, knew the 2002-2003 basketball campaign could challenge them beyond their capabilities.
They are great coaches. Washington won her 550th game earlier this year, but delving into the mental aspect of basketball is not their specialty, nor is it expected to be. And to be blunt, this year's squad absolutely needed direction in that area.
So much goes into coaching a successful basketball season, far more than the simple X's and O's on the court, and Washington should be commended for searching outside help.
After all, it's not easy to guide a proven scorer when she spirals into a shooting slump; or introduce players to one another and expect them to trust each other immediately; or advise a player on an academic or personal problem; or work on visualizing success.
Washington reigns over most of the country's coaches in those departments. Her recruits and players echo each other about how Washington doubles as a quasi-mother in addition to their coach. But even Washington was overwhelmed at the start of the season. So Washington called Jacobs, hoping he would work with her team part-time. He enthusiastically accepted.
"I went in with goals of helping the young ladies develop on the court and helping them improve issues that may be affecting their performance," Jacobs said. "Also, a lot of the girls had not dealt with losing before, so that was also an issue."
And though in-state rival Kansas State beat the Jayhawks by 23 points last night, the team has taken large strides in improving its mental makeup. Jacobs has operated on a consistent schedule, speaking weekly to every player individually before addressing the entire team.
He speaks of maximizing talent by trusting teammates, attacking school work with the same ferocity as the basket and seeing before doing. He suggested a new approach to free throws that included relaxing, deep breathing, visualizing and, finally, releasing the ball.
At first, the players were apprehensive. How much can this mental mumbo jumbo really work? But slowly, they've come along. Now, they embrace their weekly time with Jacobs, picking his brain for new ways to better themselves.

Jayhawks beat Aggies
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
Kansan sportswinter
How can Kansas forget trailing Oklahoma by 32 points in its last game? Beating Texas A&M by 40 points last night was a good start.
The Aggies (15-11 overall, 5-8 Big 12 Conference) had barely finished shaking hands before the Jayhawks (21-6, 11-2) were ahead by 10 points.
Kansas burst onto the floor, making five of its first nine shots for a 12-2 Jayhawk run while the Aggies struggled to make a basket.
"They are one of the best teams in the country at taking advantage of your missed opportunities." Texas A&M coach Melvin Watkins said. "And we had plenty of missed opportunities."
A&M was 1-of-6 from the field during the opening stretch—a trend that would continue. The Aggies made 26.2 percent of their attempts in the game, compared to the Jayhawks' 52.4 percent.
"We caught A&M on a night when the moon just wasn't right for them," Kansas coach Roy Williams said of Texas A&M's shooting woes.
Collison recorded a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds, but King was not a factor.
Hounded by Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich, Texas A&M senior guard Bernard King scored just 7 points on 2-of-9 shooting, well below his 18 pointper-game average.
After the game, Hinrich refused to gloat despite holding King to his lowest point total ever against the Jayhawks.
"I just try to play hard and make things tough for him," Hirich said.
The preseason All-American caused problems for A&M with more than his defense. Hinrich scored a game-high 23 points, making eight of his 14 shots. His steal and subsequent two-handed dunk put Kansas ahead 63-23 midway through the second half, and a three-

Simien injured again
By John Domoney
jdomoney@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Last night's box score in Kansas' 85-45 victory over Texas A&M does not give much detail to Wayne Simien's night on the floor.
Every part of Simien's box score was filled with zeros except for the 1 minute of playing time Simien had.
Seconds after checking into the game for junior forward Jeff Graves, Simien's shoulder took a blow when Aggie guard Bernard King collided into him.
A look of dejection and frustration
crossed the face of Simien as he held his shoulder close to his body.
Simien went to the locker room with trainer Mark Cairns and never returned to the floor.
Williams appeared optimistic about the latest tweak to Simien's shoulder after the game, but he said it was difficult for the rest of the Jayhawks to concentrate on the game.
Williams said after the game that the decision to have Simien in the game was one he never considered changing.
"The decision that Wayne has made, and we've gone along with, is Wayne is going to play hurt," Williams said.
Graves filled the hole left by Simien's absence by playing 26 minutes and contributing 4 points and eight rebounds.
Graves said after the game that watching Simien run into the locker room with trainer Mark Cairns brought back unpleasant memories.
"It was a flashback in terms of a reality check because everybody knew he wasn't 100 percent." Graves said.
Simien was seeing action in his fourth game since returning to the Kansas lineup after he suffered an injury to his

'Cats star returns; Hawks efforts fail
by Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
MANHATTAN — The Kansas women's basketball team expected a tough game from No. 5 Kansas State, but no one, not even the Wildcat faithful, expected Laurie Koehn.
The purple-clad crowd of 10.702 at Bramlage Coliseum gave Koehn a standing ovation when she checked into the game with just more than 4 minutes left in the first half. Koehn, a sophomore guard, missed seven games with a sore right foot. She was her same old self with 9 points, going 3-for-5 from beyond the three-point line as Kansas State (26-2
overall,13-1 Big 12 Conference) downed Kansas (10-15,3-11),80-57.
"Obviously, I couldn't be more excited," Koehn said. "It's so much fun to be out there playing with these guys and everyone on the team."
Kansas State started the game hot, remained hot, finished hot. Sophomore forward Megan Mahoney led the way with 21 points, including hitting all four of her three-pointers in the first half. Junior center Nicole Ohide was too much for Kansas to handle in the middle, posting 20 points and 12 rebounds for her 13th double-double of the season. Sophomore forward Kendra Wecker

NCAA holds summit about fan behavior
By Kevin Flaherty
By Kevin Flattery
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Sportsmanship and Fan Behavior Summit, held Feb. 20, may affect how fans watch sports.
Concerned members of various NCAA sports, such as coaches, administrators, psychologists and referees, gathered at the summit to address the growing problem of crowd control. The attendees listened to various case studies about different problems, then broke into groups to discuss possible action.
While they made no definite solutions, several new possibilities were discussed.
Bo Carter, Big 12 assistant commissioner, said the summit wanted the games to remain fun but not affect the course of the game.
"I think the gist of the plan from the summit was to keep everything in moderation and to keep things within reason," Carter said.
Two major concerns of the summit were to keep people safe without hurting the traditional rivalries and to control the use of alcohol and intoxicated fans.
"We want responsible hostility," Dooley said.
SEE SPORTSMANSHIP ON PAGE 12A
The concerns were raised after the NCAA college football season ended with controversial misbehavior by fans.
Vince Dooley, Georgia athletics director, said rivalries were great without the dangers of bad fan sportsmanship.
At the Ohio State-Michigan football game, police were forced to use hoses of pepper spray to subdue a crowd looking to celebrate a championship game berth. They also used grease on the goal posts to

As class drones on, students find fix
By Henry C. Jackson
cjackson@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As French grammar rules are written on the chalkboard, Beth Nettles is losing interest fast. The Houston sophomore's attention to personal pronouns, today's topic, is fading and there are still 45 minutes left in her intensive grammar review class.
Fortunately, Nettles has some tricks for breaking the tedium of her classes.
Striking a balance between amusing yourself and attracting too much attention from the professor can be a fine line, but students like Nettles have a variety of creative ways to keep themselves entertained when they don't want to pay attention.
For larger classes, where an instructor's attention might not be as acutely focused, a crossword puzzle may provide an intriguing alternative to paying attention.
In her French grammar class it gets tougher to hid her boredom. With classes that have only 15 to 20 students, instructors can pay more attention and Nettles has to get creative. That's when her talent for pen twirling comes out.
"When I'm bored I'll twirl my pen," she said. "At my high school all the debate kids did their pen twirl thing, and I just picked up the skills to become an honorary debater."
Nettles' dexterous feats with her pen can attract attention. She said students often complimented her on her twirling routines, which can include twirls and flips similar to a baton twirler.
Class frustrates Vishal Patel, Shawnee junior, because it is boring, he said.
"So I pick up a crossword puzzle," Patel said. "You've got to be sneaky, be a little bit furtive about it, but you can get away with it."
Patel said when the crossword frustrated him he usually found other ways to zone out in bigger classes like child psychology and Western Civilization.
Patel said boredom and lecturers that drone on and on usually drive him away from more conventional forms of class participation like note taking and asking questions.
"At times I get so frustrated by how boring the material is and how monotonous everything can get," Patel said. "At that point I resolve that have to do something to stay coherent, so out come the crosswords or so starts the hangman game."
Some students don't have to have outside stimuli to keep them going during long lectures. Justin Becker, Harper junior, said he often just let his thoughts wander.
"Sometimes I think about what I'm going to do after class," Becker said. "But most of the time I just think about my girlfriend. I try to pay attention, but she just gets the best of me sometimes."
Professors, for their part, aren't oblivious to students' wandering attention. Ingrid Horton, instructor of French, said she had seen some strange activities in her days.
"I've seen people eating, which you know is normal if the class is around lunchtime," Horton said. "But then I've also had people fall asleep in the front row to the point where they're snoring."
The strangest, by Horton's estimate involved a game of solitaire.
"I once caught someone playing cards in the back of the room," she said. "They had some playing cards, itty-bitty ones, and they were playing solitaire."

Comedic play looks at life's issues
MARGARET CROSSON
By Donovan Atkinson
datkinson@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
Fanny Cavendish, played by Betty Laird, and Julie Cavendish, played by Mo Perry, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior, remember one of Julie's past love interests.
Kelley Weiss/Kansan
Before the stars of film and radio, there were the stars of the American stage. Actors and actresses like George M. Cohan and Helen Hayes were household names and given royal treatment. The Barrymore family — which produced John, Lionel, Ethel and eventually Drew — was the ruling family of Broadway.
In fact, the Barrymores served as the inspiration of 1927's The Royal Family, which opens tomorrow at University Theatre.
"The show faces the same problem anyone going into a profession has to make. How much time goes to professional life, how much to family, how much to personal?"
Betty Laird
Lawrence actress
Written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, The Royal Family takes a close look at the fictional
Barrymore-esque Cavendish family. The play showcases the relationships of a family whose personal and professional lives intermingle.
"It's a Valentine to the American theater," said Jack Wright, director and professor of theater and film.
While the show is a comedy, it also takes a look at the issue of career versus personal life.

Sex with friends can be fun if managed well
Through the good times and the bad your friends are there for you. After all what would life be like without them?
SEX

Sometimes you need a shoulder to cry on or someone there to celebrate with when you get promoted. Friends are great. They can also be great in bed.

Friends with benefits — sex and talking — whatever you call it, there are advantages to getting busy with a buddy.
Adding sex to a friendship doesn't have to be destructive or devastating, and it often has rewards that don't exist in a traditional "dating" relationship.
Sure, there can be hurt feelings, but not if the situation is handled with forethought. If you're single and looking to get laid, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Wouldn't you rather get it on with someone you know than pick up some random stranger at a bar?
"If you understand the risks and are

willing to take them, and if this arrangement is working for you, then ... it's your choice," she said.
Here are just a few simple ways to make sure you don't get involved in something that either of you will regret later.
1. Priming the pump — Before you ever get even close to naked with your buddy, make sure you both realize that this is just sex. Don't leave any room for future questions about where your relationship stands. This is by far the most important step in the friends-with-benefits process. You want to be positive there will not be any hurt feelings or tensions as a result of your jam session. It can be intimidating to talk openly about such things, but the anguish you can save by ironing out the details beforehand is unimaginable. And, besides, this is your friend, your good buddy, that you're talking to here. Speak up before you lie down.
2. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. — If the experience bears repeating, repeat with caution. Sex is funny in that it tends to create an emotional attachment in some. A continuing sexual relationship has the potential to stir up feelings for the other person. If this happens, tell your friend right away and figure out where to go from there.
3. We do everything together — Best friends are off limits. Don't suggest friends with benefits. Don't even make out. model. If you're best friends and not already dating there's probably a reason, and there's no excuse to go and ruin such a
close friendship by having sex. If you simply must get down your best friend's pants proceed with extreme caution.
4. Out of order - Don't assume that because you did the dirty deed once your friend wants to do it again. The whole point of being friends with benefits is that you both agree the situation is convenient. Always assume that this time is the last.
With a little care and caution, this style of relationship is fun and easy to manage. The best thing about friends with benefits is that you don't have to worry about being accountable for your whereabouts or actions in the same way as you would if were you dating the person.
Friends with benefits is very much for the "live and let live" personality and should not be entered into lightly. For those who aren't looking for anything serious and don't hear wedding bells or a biological clock ticking, it's the near-perfect situation.

Different bars try to attract different student groups

In a college town like Lawrence, bars in the downtown area are always trying to keep patrons coming back for more. One sought-after demographic are students in sororities and fraternities.
The general manager for new bar Last Call recently told the The University Daily Kansan that the bar would provide a friendly environment for fraternity and sorority members.
"We're looking to have some special functions for sororities and fraternities," said Trent Glass in an interview three weeks ago.
The Granada is one of a small number of popular Lawrence bars that offers economical relief to its patrons by charging no cover on the weekends.
A target crowd for some bars, managers try to cater to them with the offers of free kegs and party sites. Flannigans even awarded a party bus for a night to the sorority and fraternity with the most members in attendance.
It's a commonly-known fact that different bars in the downtown area cater to different demographics. Bars like Flannigan's and Abe & Jake's Landing have dance floors to entice students.
Kansan file photo
Fans of the music scene are also a wanted group. Bars like The Replay book local
bands to draw students. Granada showcases such acts as Ok Go, The Donnas and Kelli Osbourne to draw a crowd and Abe and Jake's recently featured The Roots. Even The Wheel started hosting acoustic acts.
But when it comes down to it, money is also a major factor in bar popularity for students. Flannigan's and Granada are examples of bars that have tried the free route. At one time Flannigan's offered no cover/ no line passes, and the Granada now charges no cover on the weekends before 9 p.m. Abe and Iake's also started a VIP line for a select few.
But for Kendall Smith, Fayetteville junior, there's more to it than that.
"Drink specials are key," Smith said. "You don't want to blow all of your money on a couple of drinks. Free kegs are always nice. It also depends on the people you know who work there. If your friends work at a certain place, I'd say you're more likely to go there."
He said promotional nights with beer and other alcohol distributors and tie-ins with Kansas basketball contributed to better business. Radina said bringing in local and national bands were also a big draw.
James Radina, manager at the Granada said business was up since last semester.
Radina said Thursday nights were the most popular because there was usually
more of a sorority and fraternity crowd.
Managers from Abe & Jake's declined to comment for this article, and Flannigan's managers did not return phone calls this week.
So what bars are popular now? It all depends on the night and the person. Christina Ferguson, Overland Park freshman, said she went to The Hawk on Wednesday. She said The Ranch and Granada are happening places after 10 p.m. on Thursdays.
No matter how some bars may try to attract a crowd, there will always be some with a loyal following.

Strong said usually 25 to 30 poets came to read one poem, unless there was time for more during the two-hour reading. Poets sign up before the 9 p.m. show, which ends when the shop closes at 11 p.m.
"Most people are trying to express their feelings about society and themselves," Strong said. "They are trying to individualize and identify themselves."
The Women's Group
Medusa, the all-women's poetry critique group, started in 1997 in Lawrence. The group has six members, and its members like it that way.
The group keeps membership in low numbers because of space and time constrictions when critiquing each other's poems at members' houses, said Sarah Ruhlen. Lawrence resident and group member.
To replace leaving group members, new applicants fill out applications that include submitting poetry to the present group members.
When asked why Tyler Alfrey, Topeka senior, submitted his poem to The Kiosk Art & Literary Magazine in the Fall 2002 semester, he said it was just time.
"They also have to fill out a questionnaire that basically asks if they are a woman and if they live in Lawrence," Ruhlen said.
The women meet weekly at one another's houses and read once a month at Aimee's Coffee House.
The group also has a Web site, www.medusa.sunflower.com, which showcases poetry from each member.
"I asked myself 'Why do I keep all this poetry to myself?'" he said in regard to the KU student publication. "Art is about getting it out there."

Although he took a poetry writing class here at the University of Kansas, Alfrey said the structure of the class didn't capture the feeling of poetry writing.
"I thought it was weird," he said. "You have to sit in a classroom and write poetry. I just don't think that is how you write poetry."

'Velocity' funny at first,but repetitive
REVIEW
Dave Eggers' 2000 debut, A Heartbreak Working of Staggering Genius, was well received by critics and the public and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
REVIEW
Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com
It was a monster of a book, a memoir of Eggers' first years after the death of his parents, in which in his early 20s he became the primary caretaker of his 7-year-old brother.
The book was all over the place stylistically, both hilarious and, as the title implies (somewhat pretentiously), heartbreaking.
Now comes Eggers' first novel, You Shall Know Our Velocity, published in Fall 2002 by Eggers' own publishing house, McSweeney's. Velocity tells of two best friends, Will (the novel's narrator) and Hand, and their On The Road-esque efforts to travel around the world in seven days and give away $32,000.
The irony is that while it sounds as if giving away that much money would be easy, Will and Hand find it extremely difficult.
In order to maintain "velocity", Will and Hand intend to move as quickly as possible, trying to get to specific countries they

want to visit and countries not requiring visas for entry.
It's funny at first, as Will and Hand's plans are thwarted by bad weather, cranky travel agents, injuries, botched travel plans and nearly anything else that comes to Eggers' mind, but after a
while, it gets repetitive.
The story, the protagonists and even the author all seem to fall into a routine with each day of Will and Hand's trip, and after awhile there's the feeling of "Haven't we been here before?"
Will and Hand are the novel's protagonists, but there is a third character, unseen, who is almost more important to Will's story than sidekick Hand.
Much of their trip is motivated by a desire to maintain the memory of their mutual best friend Jack, who died in a car wreck before the novel's action.
Will is still trying to cope with his friend's death, and he's furiously angry about it, but the novel doesn't give enough of Will's inner anger until too late.
Eggers provides lots of internal monologue for Will as he wrestles with Jack's death and with his own demons, but it's often overshadowed by shallower, less interesting plot concerns.
But the relationship between Will and Hand makes up the substantive bulk of the novel.
Hand is wild, impetuous, daring, personable and everything else that Will isn't

but wishes he was. It's almost as if for Will their trip around the globe is more about changing himself than just giving away money to whomever he and Hand find deserving of it.
Perhaps the trickiest part of Velocity is actually getting a hold of it.
Rather than publish his novel through a major publishing house (which surely would've paid him handsomely for his efforts), Eggers published the novel through his own publishing house, McSweeney's.
So don't go looking for a copy at the local Borders — the novel is only available in selected independent bookstores or at www.mcsweeneys.net.

The cover art of One for Your Health by local band Full Feature summarizes the audio portion of the recording.

four-chord folk sounding chorus with plenty of "yeah-yeahs" as on the song "Anthem 20/20."
Genre jumping like this is bound to leave listeners disoriented, and the band hasn't perfected any of the musical styles that they cover throughout the full length album.
Another potentially detracting element of Full Feature's CD is the lack of consistency in recording quality from track to track. This may not bother some people, but I find that the record doesn't seem to have a cohesive flow to it when songs sound different from each other.
The quality of the recording on songs like "S.Y.W.A.S" and "That One Song" sound infinitely better than on songs like "Apology."
Perhaps the most confusing aspect of this CD is the lyrical content. Lyricists Eddie Schubert, M. Loo and Craig Loo switch from tough guys to contemplative poets to sensitive ladies' men throughout the record, making listeners wonder which one is genuine.
On "Threat To My Manhood," vocalist Schubert sings, "Gonna beat another human cause you know it makes me feel good." To contrast, on "When Breathing Stops," Schubert sings, "When breathing stops I'll give my life up/Dust in the wind for what once was/it won't be again/A
path of bones for this lonely soul/memory of life only survives in nothing."
Overall, One For Your Health comes off as a disjointed effort. If the band could choose to specialize in one or two of the genres that it covers instead of halfheartedly trying every style in the book, this could be a vast improvement.

The Execution of all Things
Rilo Kiley
Reviewed by Aaron Passman
apassman@kansan.com
After a self-titled EP and two full-length albums, Rilo Kiley appears to have found a format that works: low key, quiet, dreamlike indie-pop (emphasis on the pop). The problem is that the band doesn't deviate from that format much.
Rilo Kiley's new album, The Execution Of All Things, isn't aesthetically much different from its 2000 debut, Takeoffs and Landings. The album is still soft and dreamy and melodic, though the songs on the new record are augmented with a slight twangy, folk aspect, and the lyrical content is darker than on its predecessor.
Up to a point, if you've heard one Rilo Kiley song, you've heard 'em all. Now, if you like that format (which I do), then you'll probably like most of thier work. The problem is that by the time you've heard the entire album once (let alone multiple times) it can get somewhat tiresome. It's still good, but there's not a lot of variety and less so on "Execution" than there was on its debut.
Tracks like "So Long" and "Three Hopeful Thoughts" sound more like leftovers from the last album than anything new. "With Arms Outstretched" is the closest the record comes to an all-out folk song, centered on an acoustic guitar, vocals and hand claps.
Unfortunately, the album's high point comes too late. The final track, "Spectacular Views," is the closest the band ever comes to

apassman@kansan.com
Love opens up promisingly with a couple of solid, catchy rockers: "Bring It Low and the album's best track "Do You Believe Me?" But short of these two tracks, most of the album is an exercise in half-assery. Rather than building on their strengths as a rock 'n' roll outfit, The Juliana Theory spends too much of Love doing boring, repetitive, poorly written ballads, even going as far as recycling one of the best tracks from Emotion Is Dead.
Part of what made The Juliana Theory's second album, 2000's Emotion Is Dead, so outstanding was the ways it mixed emo, pop, hardcore, ballads and even electronica. It was the kind of record that always kept you guessing, never really sure what the Theory boys were going to do next. There was a nice little rock surprise around nearly every corner. Unfortunately, their new record Love is, for the most part, nothing like its predecessor.

"You suck the life out of the crowd without a sound/I see your kind all around and of course you're all the same/You suck the light out of a room with merely a glance/You are the slave of a clone of a petrified fool on a throne." Or maybe "Love will endure when it comes to the end/I see you're insecure, I know there's hope for you." Like that? There's more where that came from.
It would certainly seem that The Juliana
Theory are trying to say something here, but they never actually come out and say it. Thus they're left with a vague, masked, and rather irritating spirituality, a la Creed.

This album feels like a much different Juliana Theory than their last album, probably in part because of major changes in the band's line-up.
The music isn't as interesting or adventurous, and rather than the emo-ness of their last record, they appear to be headed in the spiritual direction. Not necessarily a bad thing, assuming they can find a way to mix elements of both Emotion Is Dead and Love together on their next effort. Don't count them out just yet.
So. The Juliana Theory: Religious rockers in disguise or mere emo wussies? You decide.

Movie shows fun of college in your 30's
Like the party-dude younger brother of Jesus Christ, filmmaker Todd Phillips has been sent from heaven to save the juvenile American comedy.

That's no small task either, given the wasteland that Phillips has to work in. (National Security, anyone?) But after his boisterous Road Trip debut and now Old School, the verdict is in: This guy knows what's funny.

A mile-a-minute tummy-tickler, Old School follows the travails of three 30ish friends unwilling to leave behind the glory of their collegiate yesteryear.
Mitch (Luke Wilson) has just broken up with his longtime girlfriend. (He walked in on the early stages of a gang bang).
Beanie (Vince Vaughn) is sick of married life and wants a little something extra on the side.
And Frank (Will Ferrell) is newly married but already a contender for divorce because of a drinking and streaking problem.
After broken-hearted Mitch moves into a house near the local university, Beanie throws a wild party, hilariously named "Mitch-a-Palooza," to get his friend laid. The dean (Jeremy Piven) doesn't approve,

so he moves the school zone to try to take over the house. If they're going to stay, Beanie decides they'll have to form their own fraternity.
The hazing sequences that follow are rowdy but never offensive. Phillips, who made a controversial documentary a few years ago called Frat House that was never released because Phillips had reportedly
staged much of the footage, seems to have learned his lesson this time around.
Even a stunt involving a cinder block and a rope tied to a man's genitalia is saved by an inspired special effect.
The pledges range from a fat AfricanAmerican kid named Winksy (a scenestealing Jerod Mixon) to a crusty old white guy who can drink with the best of them. The latter's final scene, set in a pool ofKY jelly with two voraciously game, halfnaked coeds, is a good example of the film's racy sex appeal.
Wilson is bland compared to brother Owen, while Vaughn seems destined to never again reach the comedic heights of his role in Swingers. Both have their moments, though, and Ferrell, in his first major movie since leaving Saturday Night Live, has more.
Whether flashing "Little Will" for the camera or twirling a ribbon to the flamboyant Chariots of Fire theme, Ferrell's performance is a three-ring circus act, a sidesplitting one-man show that effortlessly incorporates the improvisational style he developed on SNL.
And for that we can thank Phillips, who's an ace at satirizing public per-

Phillips and his writing partner, Scot Armstrong, are also tremendous cultural pranksters. Airport security and drunken wedding receptions are only two of many targets in a movie that has an exquisite sixth sense for the kitsch 1980s nostalgia most yuppies just can't escape. It's hard to resist a film that takes a groaner like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and turns it into a profane comedy classic.

Chicago
Grade: B-
JOSÉ SORRALDO
Contributed photo
Kevin Spacey stars as an anti-death penalty advocate in The Life of David Gale.
Everybody sings and dances just swell in Rob Marshall's take on the Bob Fosse Broadway hit, but after Chicago is over you may wonder what all the fuss was about. Renee Zellweger stars as Roxie Hart, a nobody who wants to be a somebody who becomes famous the American way: She shoots her lover dead. Catherine Zeta-Jones seethes with sexuality as the cool-hearted Velma Kelly, and Richard Gere, who for once deserved the Academy Award nomination he was snubbed for, channels James Cagney in a rare magnetic performance. Marshall's carbon-copy theatricality ensures you'll have a good time, but for less style over substance, see Björk in the daring Dancer in the Dark.
Stephen Shupe
Daredevil
Grade: D+
Art and commerce collide in Daredevil, easily the worst comic-book fiasco since Dolph Lundgren played The Punisher. Forced to commercialize his dream project with Nokia product placements and Moby music, director Mark Steven Johnson (the man responsible for 'Simon Birch') can only make the first 30 minutes satisfying before the picture dissolves into mediocrity.
The film's list of flaws (choppy effects, unnecessary killings, corny lines...) scrolls longer than the "pizza" section of the Lawrence yellow pages. A cheap, self-conscious bore.
Darkness Falls
Grade: D
A silly and mostly unsuccessful ghost story about a demonic tooth fairy (really!) plaguing some none-too-bright townsfolk and a guy on heavy dosages of anti-psychotics. Television's Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Emma Caulfield co-stars. It's more like "Darkness Kerplunks."
Steven Rea/KRT Campus
Final Destination 2
Grade: B+
This gory sequel can't wait for its stupidly defensive cast of forgettable characters to die spectacularly horrible deaths. Despite the ambiguous previews, the film picks up where its superb predecessor left off. Nearly all of the survivors of the Flight 180 tragedy have been tracked down by Death.
After a premonition dream sequence that arguably tops the terrifying plane
SS
explosion in the original, a new tragedy occurs, this one an expertly staged pile-up on the highway. Nothing new here just the same scary logic to the details of accidental death that made the first film such a surprise hit. A criminally fast-paced and laughably shocking ride that's not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach.
The Hours
Grade: A
Most people see movies to escape "the hours," the moments of the day when there's more to be endured than desired. So why see Stephen Daldry's stunning adaptation of Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer prizewinner? First and foremost is the film's brutal approach to depression; this is the kind of honesty rarely seen in commercial or even independent film.
Coming in at a close second are the positively amazing performances by Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Ed Harris.
Despite a few clever insights and twists, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is neither good nor distinctive enough to rise above the level of generic romantic comedy. This, despite appealing performances by Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Grade: D
-SS
Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus
The Life of David Gale Grade: C+
The Life of David Gale has the courage
-KRT Campus
of its own convictions. What it lacks is the grace to transmit them with subtlety.
To preach his anti-death penalty sentiments, director Alan Parker has assembled an impressive cast topped by Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet and Laura Linney. But he presents each scene with flourishes usually associated with musical production numbers. It's as if Parker thought he was still directing Madonna in Evita.
The film has sharp dialogue, as when the (fictitious) Texas governor is described as "being in touch with his inner frat boy." But some plot contrivances and coincidences will gnaw at the viewer. C'mon, Bitsey, wouldn't you think to trade in an overheated rental car?
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Overwrought and over-directed, The Life of David Gale has ideas worth considering, but its largest group of advocates will be the already converted.
Grade: A
-ss
The fellowship might be broken, but everything else in Peter Jackson's massive follow-up to The Fellowship of the Ring feels perfectly in place. The surprise is what an altogether different experience The Two Towers is from its predecessor. It falls more directly into the category of fantasy and its stirring climactic grandeur hasn't been matched in the last thirty years of epic Hollywood filmmaking.
The Pianist
Grade: A-
Along with Tim Blake Nelson's 'The
Grey Zone' and Werner Herzog's Invincible, The Pianist made 2002 a sort of banner year for wrenching Holocaust dramas. This film covers the most ground, opening when the Germans began to brick up Jews in tiny corners of the country and coming to a near-close with an unforgettable shot that reveals most of the walls have been burned to the ground.
The Recruit Grade: C
It's remarkable the way Polanski, whose other films (Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby) have his dark visionary signature all over them, seems to disappear here, treating the film almost like a historical document. The violence is appropriately rampant and shocking. But by the end you get to see the Nazis on the run, which is always a joy.
-ss
Taut, enjoyable thriller with Al Pacino as a CIA scout who taps Colin Powell as an agent-in-training. Are the head games they play training day or the real deal?
Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus
Shanghai Knights
Grade: C
Talk to Her
Grade: A
Once again Jackie Chan and his nimble limbs join forces with Owen Wilson, and his loose lips, this time to rid 1887 Peking of British imperialists and London of Chinese assassins out to kill Queen Vicky. And once again is not enough. Again and again please.
Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus
A cinema maestro in the tradition of Bergman and Fellini, Pedro Almodovar is one of the few true artists of today's film world. His newest film, Talk To Her, paints an extravagant portrait of two men in love with two comatose women.
Benigno (Javier Camara) is a shy, sexually ambiguous virgin who cares for a ballet dancer injured in a car accident.
Marco (David Grandinetti) is more sexually confident but less sure about what to do when his girlfriend almost dies in a bullfight.
One of them hides a secret no sensible critic would give away, but I will say that it knocks the wind out of you.
Nobody blends mood with visuals like Almodovar - almost every shot of Talk to Her is a masterpiece. He's up for two hugely deserved Academy Awards for his direction and screenplay.

Italian food brings more than pasta
Editor's note: Because of excessive errors made at the copy desk, here is last week's Eat This column in its entirety.
EAT THIS

Christina DiGiacomo cdgiacomo@kansan.com
The explosion of Italian ingredients that has come into homes and restaurants,has led many to create new and time-tested Italian favorites.
Although most Americans believe that mozzarella sticks and spaghetti and meatballs are staples of traditional Italian favorites, these specific dishes represent what is known as Italian-American food, not the Italian repertoire.
With little knowledge of what tastes constitutes the regions of Italy, many are unsure of the representation of the culture's food.
So, what exactly comprises the Italian fare? Pasta, yes, but also many kinds of fruits and vegetables, like figs and capers, there are also several kinds of meat and fish such as wild boar, venison, sea bass, and marlin that dominate the different regions. Aromatic herbs that accentuate the country, the most popular being, flat-leaf parsley; basil, oregano, rosemary, mint, sage, marjoram and bay leaves are indented in regions' foods.
Typically, hearty soups and stews, pesto and classic ragu sauces, radicchio, cured meats such as proscuitto, fondue, rich sauces, polentas, lasagnas, tortellini dishes and risottos; such popular cheeses include gorgonzola, parmigiano-reggiano, and mascarpone come from Northern Italy.
There are baked pasta dishes, penne and bucatini pastas are abundant; fresh fish and spit roasted meats like mountain beef and steak are associated; olives and white truffles are also distinguished in Central
Italy.
In Southern Italy, short cut pasta is plentiful. Lamb, goat, and chicken are specialties, hot peppers and tomato sauces dominate. Mozzarella cheese and the freshest of fresh greens are here. Most famously, pizza and calzones were born in the south. On the Italian Islands, couscous, saffron, eggplant, fish, lamb, and wheat pastas generate through Sicily and Sardinia.
With such a vast selection of foods, many of the best and most well-known Italian restaurants emphasize the provisions of such specific regions from Italy.
For one, Lidia's Loft at 101 West 22nd St. in Kansas City highlights flavors of the Northern region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Here, dishes like Frico, a crispy fried Montasio cheese filled with an assortment of vegetables and meats are on the menu as well as the Gnocchi con Anitra in Guazetto, rolled potato dumplings drooling with a rosemary tomato based sauce with hints of shredded duck meat. Such items emphasize its popular Veneto region.
Another up-rising KC favorite is Frondizi's Restaurant, 4558 Main St. near the Plaza, recipient of Wine Spectator's "Best of" award of excellence in 2002.In its food
are tastes of Northern and Central regions that captivate popular items like, the Osso Bucco,a veal shank braised in a rich stock of wine including hints of carrots, onions, celery, olives and a touch of lemon.
Jeff Akin, friend and writer for Tongue in Beak, is a chef at Frondizi's. He said the bronzini, a white sea bass, was one of the best items on the menu.
"Flown in fresh from Boston, this Mediterranean sea bass is encrusted in sea salt, grilled and prepared whole, accompanying lightly fried zucchini fritters, a lemon chutney and a yogurt mint sauce — quite possibly the most delectable item on the menu," said Akin.
Consenting in this and others like the steamed mussels or lobster risotto will surely encourage drooling when thinking of the array of Italy's favorites at Frondizis.
With such succulent dishes in mind, begin the journey today, by understanding the tastes and procuring in the regional flavors of Italy. Dine at a fine restaurant or follow a regional classic recipe. Consenting to the flavors will be a grateful notion to any palate.

Shasta replaces Coke in contract

The University of Kansas has dropped its exclusive contract with Coca-Coca and set up a partnership with Shasta Soda. At the same time, the University announced plans to replace its current vending contract with Treat America with an exclusive deal to market all foods under the Kroger brand.
"Don't think of it a move to generic, but rather, cost effectiveness in tough economic times," Shulenburger said. He then added, "Shasta made us a deal we couldn't refuse. I mean, come on dude, their cans are only like 25 cents."
Shasta Soda, which was founded in 1889, is known for its vast array of flavorful colas such as Moon Mist and Pineapple Orange. In exchange for exclusive rights to sell its products on campus, in spring 1998, the University signed a contract with Coca-Cola for $7 million up front and $450,000 a year afterward. Shulenburger said he could not at this time go into the specifies of the new contract with Shasta and Kroger but he did mention that students would feel the added benefits soon.
"Under the new deal, every National Merit Scholar will now be eligible for semester long supply of grape soda and Kroger brand frozen hash browns," Shulenburger said.
With the new contract, all Coke products will be burned in effigy and every student would be required to sign a lifetime pledge of "snack allegiance" to Shasta and Kroger. Tongue in Beak Staff has gotten a part of that pledge which includes the following stanza:
"I pledge my snack allegiance
To Shasta Soda and Sweet Kroger

To spite the corporate behemoths of
In a year's time, vending products will be replaced with Kroger snack foods, the majority of which will include generic circus peanuts and plain white packages labeled "Potato Chips."
The Pepsi/Coca-Cola Ogre"
"I call it affordable deliciousness," Shulenburger said. He said he hoped all students would cooperate with the cola regime change and embrace Shasta as their "cola" for life. But not all students have taken the news well.
"Coke would sponsor groups by donating money," said Kristen Dewar, Larned senior. "All Shasta does is guarantee a supply of grape soda at any event," then she added. "And what will my Ballroom Dance Club do with 10 pounds of frozen hash browns?"

KU to become 'Always Save' U

Springtime for Always Save: This projected image displays the future look of Strong Hall. To view the photo in color, visit www.kansan.com/satire.
Yellow and black have long represented rivalry and opposition to University of Kansas students. But thanks to a corporate sponsorship with Always Save Brand Corporation, the Lawrence campus is in the midst of a Mizzoz-like facelift.
In a corporate naming-rights deal announced this week, the University (soon to be called simply "School") will receive from Always Save $20 million and use of its budgetary consultants.
"School will still supply students with the same great education at the same low, low price. It's just going to be less differentiable and more ... yellow," All-Purpose Leader of University Things (formerly known as the Chancellor) said Tuesday in a press conference from Basketball Building (historically remembered as Allen Fieldhouse).
In addition to painting and renaming all buildings on campus, the new consultants are hoping to save millions with, among other things, changes to the transportation fleet.
"The school spends millions a year on buses, planes, trucks, and golf carts. All of those things can be replaced, respectively, with reconditioned amusement park trams, dirigibles, richshaws and walking golf carts," Always Save accountant Bill Smith said before boarding the Always Save Corporate hot air balloon.
Not all on campus are as excited and optimistic, and many students have already experienced problems with the changes.
"Yesterday I walked into Building Q-14-2 (formerly Wescoe) where my Western Civ. class was supposed to be, and the FDA had already recalled it. Something about botulism. Then I couldn't find my next class because every building looks like a giant freakin' box of corn flakes," said Todd Ramsmickle, Easter Island junior.
Regardless of student reaction, the new deal is already positively affecting the bottom line.
"We're already turning the corner," said Smith. "Are we always going to save, though? No, not always. That's impossible, regardless of what our name says. Nevertheless, we will save a lot. And those savings get passed onto you the consumer ... I mean student."
Future changes will reportedly include a student uniform consisting simply of a one-size fits all yellow jump suit with either black sash or red suspenders. In addition, all students will be required to live in one of the 25 new "communes" being constructed where Memorial Stadium used to be.
With all of these alterations coming so quickly, many are concerned that the tradition and history of the University of Kansas will disappear before anyone has a chance to save it. However, Always Save assures students, employees and alumni that the changes, though profound, will not destroy the University's history or future.
"All we want to do is paint everything yellow, plaster the 'Always Save' name across campus, and create such a shocking homogeny among the students' appearance, thoughts and actions that even they don't know who or what is cool," said Always Save Leader Guy yesterday in a regrettable drunken phone interview with the Tongue in Beak. "And then, everyone will be equal and Always Save will be the choice of a new generation. You know, like Pepsi, but yellow."
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ebert is dead
This letter concerns J.C. Hackmuth's "review" of the film "Good Will Hunting." I was both shocked and offended to see this review in the University paper. It also gave me the hiccups. The article contained many inaccuracies and stupid opinions that I feel hurt the paper's credibility.
For example, the line "ummmm..." implies a discomfort about your sexuality that I feel is inappropriate in a university setting. Also, your review stated that the film received a restricted rating for "bad words and people fighting on the playground." Preposterous! If you'd bothered to consult the Motion Picture Association Ratings Web site, you would have seen the film is rated R for adult situations including/but not limited to complicated math. If you can't take the time to write an unbiased review, maybe you aren't funny to begin with. And what's with that stupid hat in the photo? It looks like somebody's dog ate it. Please consider these things.

Endowed funds cut after stock decline
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas will receive 20 percent less from the Kansas University Endowment Association permanent, endowed funds because of a change in spending policy after a consistent decline in the U.S. stock market.
Senior administrators of the University learned of the change Monday. Chancellor Robert Hemenway e-mailed a memo from the president of the Endowment Association outlining the
new procedure shortly after 5 p.m. yesterday
Dale Seuferling, president of the Endowment Association, said the association did not have an idea of an exact amount.
"We won't know until the year is finished next year because we're dealing with predictions," Seuferling said.
"This is another challenge we find ourselves confronting in a difficult budget situation," said Janet Murguia, executive vice chancellor for University Relations.
"We've got to tighten our belts further
and rely on the people who keep the University going."
The change makes the Endowment Association's funds more sensitive to the rise and fall of the stock market, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
The Endowment Association will also cut its operating budget by 20 percent from last year's amount.
A permanent, endowed fund is where the principle amount donated remains

Second McDonald's to open 24 hours
By JJHensley
jhensley@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Lawrence residents will have another late-night menu option to choose from next month. The McDonald's at 1309 W. 6th St., following the lead of the 23rd Street location, will begin staying open 24 hours a day in mid-March.
The changes mean hungry patrons can enjoy their fast-food favorites at all hours of the night and morning.
"You can have a Big Mac till 3:30," said Patrick Manning, marketing director for McDonald's of Lawrence. "Then it's whatever you want on the breakfast menu after that."
The McDonald's located at 901 W. 23rd St. began staying open 'round-the-clock last August and has led the region in sales ever since, Manning said.
While the expanded hours gave patrons more time to spend money at McDonald's, staying open all night hasn't cost McDonald's that much more.
"It's not really an extra expense to us since a lot of times we were open till two or three anyway and we open up at six, so we were only closed for a few hours as it was," Manning said
The lobby remains closed at both locations after 11:00 p.m., leaving only the drive-through open all night.
That doesn't keep customers from occasionally getting out of hand, said Dexter West, night shift manager at the 23rd Street location.
"Generally they're pretty cool, but it is late night, you know," West said. "All the customers are glad we're open 24 hours, but the people who come
from the bars definitely make it interesting."
Expanding hours of operation came as a directive from McDonald's headquarters in Oakbrook, Ill.
It was part of an incentive initiative for the franchise chain's heartland region, Manning said. The plan was put in place last summer, long before McDonald's well-publicized fourth-quarter loss—the first in the company's 47-year history.
Lawrence's other McDonald's locations will maintain their normal hours.

Former KU student accepts plea bargain
eohm@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Erin Ohm
He pleaded no contest in the Douglas County District Court yesterday to three counts of aggravated battery and one count of distribution of the drug diazenam.
In a plea agreement, the Douglas County District Attorney for Douglas County agreed to drop four of the eight charges in a case against former KU student Michael D. Carpenter.
Carpenter was charged in August with drugging three KU students and attempting to rape one of them.
Assistant District Attorney David Zabel said in court the state would drop a charge of attempted rape, a charge of possession of diazepam and two charges of distributing the drug as part of the plea bargain.
Zabel said both the prosecution and
Zabel also agreed to change the language in Carpenter's drug offense charge of distributing diazepam. He said the state would omit language stating Carpenter's actions were sexually motivated.
the defense recommended Carpenter serve the minimum sentence of 14 months in prison.
Kenney said in order to charge a person with attempted rape, the state had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was an obvious act toward the completion of the crime.
She said the plea agreement was fair to victims, the prosecution and the accused.
Carpenter could face a maximum penalty of 23 months in prison for each count of aggravated battery and 51
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney said the charges were dropped because of the mutual concessions involved in the plea bargain.
months for the drug offense.
Carpenter was originally charged with possession of the date-rape drug GHB, but Kenney said the charge was amended because further testing showed the drug was actually the sedative diazepam.
Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the drug would make someone feel sleepy and could make them act impaired. She said diazepam should not be combined with alcohol because it increased the depressive effect on the nervous system.
Zabel said the three victims had met Carpenter at Cadillac Ranch the night of Aug. 28 and accompanied him to his residence early that morning. Carpenter gave the women drinks that he said were alcoholic, but they contained the drug diazepam. All three women tested positive for the drug later that day at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Zabel said.
In the second period, weeks six through 10, a student would receive a "W." Before, the college and schools set their own policies for withdrawal.
While at Carpenter's residence, Zabel said the women became "extremely intoxicated," and they described their physical state as different from the usual feeling of intoxication.
The women were picked up by a friend in the morning on Aug. 29 and were involved in a traffic accident sometime that morning. Zabel said the state believed the woman driving the car was impaired because she had been given diazepam earlier that day.
The women contacted the Lawrence Police Department Aug. 29 at about 2:50 p.m. They said they overslept and felt poorly, in a condition inconsistent with the amount of alcohol they drank the night before.
Carpenter agreed the facts of the case presented by Zabel in court were correct. His sentencing is set for March 27.

Proposal to change way to withdraw from classes
By Jessica Hood
jhood@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University Council yesterday approved a proposal that will change the withdrawal procedures at the University of Kansas.
Students withdrawing from a class currently abides by the procedures of the school in which the class was offered. Under the plan approved by University Council yesterday, a student withdrawing from a class would abide by the procedures of the school in which the student is enrolled.
In the University Council meeting, Jim Carothers, associate vice provost for academic services, said the attempt was to streamline withdrawal procedures between schools.
The change in the withdrawal procedure comes in the second and third periods of withdrawing.
In the third period, week 11 through the last day of classes, students would be able to withdraw from a class after getting a drop card signed by the class instructor. The instructor then must decide to give the student either a "W" or "E".
Carothers said the proposal was an effort to protect the student.
"This policy will make sure that the student receives consultation from the proper school and will help keep students on track," Carothers said.
Johanna Maska, a Student Senate representative on University Council, said under the current policy, a student enrolled in the School of Journalism but taking a class offered within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences could drop the class without realizing the problems it could cause in the pursuit of a journalism degree.
Under the new policy, the student would receive consultation from the School of Journalism and fully know the implications of dropping the class, Maska said.
Andy Knopp, vice-president of University Council, said the proposal still needed to be signed off by the administration, including the Office of the Provost.

Last chance for students to opt for credit, no credit
today is the last day University of Kansas students can elect to take a class credit/no credit.
The option allows students to receive credit for a class without having a letter grade assigned. Students must have a C or higher to receive credit, said Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services in the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"The policy was created to provide an opportunity for students to try something different," Houston said. "I think it's turned into something else, but it was originally designed so that students could leave their comfort zone without affecting their GPA."
Students aren't allowed to take classes for credit/no credit in their major or minor according to CLAS policy, but different schools have their own policies, Houston said.

TV legend Mister Rogers dies after battle with cancer
PITTSBURGH — Day after day for more than three decades, Fred Rogers put on a zip-up cardigan and sneakers and gently invited millions of children to be his neighbor.
He never wavered in his mission using Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as a way to persuade young television viewers to love and feel more secure in their world.
Rogers died Thursday after battling stomach cancer at his Pittsburgh home. He was 74.
His low-key,low-tech public television show refused to follow its louder, more animated competition. It presented Rogers as one adult in an increasingly busy world who always had time to listen to children.

Area firefighters increase number of nightclub inspections
By Lauren Bristow
lbristow@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students waiting in line to get into their favorite crowded bars and nightclubs will continue to wait as area firefighters crack down on fire safety violations after two national nightclub tragedies.
Busy nightclubs that are popular to students in areas like downtown Lawrence and Westport have seen the numbers of inspections rise during the past week after 21 people died as they tried to exit a Chicago nightclub Feb. 17. A week later, 97 people died after a fire broke out in a West Warwick, R.I., nightclub.
"I've seen firemen inspecting crowded bars before," said Ross
Schraeder, Dodge City senior. "It's for my own safety. If it's going to protect people then I don't mind waiting to get into a crowded place."
Last weekend, Kansas City, Mo., firefighters inspected 60 commercial properties and issued 11 notices of hazards, which are minor infractions, said Greg Vincent, chief fire marshal of the Kansas City, Mo., Fire Department.
Vincent said minor infractions include exit signs that aren't illuminated and minor door blockages.
"They are things that can be fixed while we are there." Vincent said.
Random spot inspections are new for the Kansas City, Mo., Fire Department. Previously, commercial buildings, like bars and nightclubs, were inspected annually during daytime hours and at
night after complaints from either patrons or from police in the area, Vincent said.
Firefighters visited America's Pub, 510 Westport Road in Kansas City, Mo., on Friday and Saturday nights, said Chris Pearson, the club's manager.
"Quite simply, as long as your fire exits are unlocked and unblocked, you have fire extinguishers and working emergency lights, there isn't much else to do." Pearson said. "It's pretty much about just being responsible."
Although Vincent would not comment on how often the city planned to do random inspections, he said the city planned to continue them.
"If we want the inspections to be effective, we don't want the word to get out how often we are
going to be out doing those inspections," Vincent said.
Nearly 400 patrons at the Granada were surprised Saturday night by a planned visit from a Lawrence firefighter. Club coowner James Radina, asked Rich Barr, the Lawrence fire marshal, to send someone in to speak about fire safety. A firefighter spoke on stage to the crowd that had gathered to watch the band No Lessons.
Barr spoke with patrons about what do in case of a fire and how to protect themselves.
"It was about being proactive and the fireman received a good response from the crowd," Radina said.
The Lawrence Fire Department has inspected clubs, restaurants and theaters randomly
though a night consultant program since the early 1980s, Barr said. The department has six personnel with two working each three-day rotation.
"They are required to go out at least one night for every three-day rotation," Barr said. "Typically, they are on the street three to five nights a week."
Barr said inspectors go out after 10 p.m. and inspect for three to four hours at a time. The inspectors are checking that all exits are unlocked and unblocked, exit signs and emergency lights are illuminated and working properly and counting the number of occupants at the establishment.
Depending on the severity of a violation, Barr said the establishment owner could receive a fine up to $2,500 or six months in jail.
He also said that he had never seen an establishment receive the most severe fines.
"If we determine that an establishment has had three violations during a 12-month period, we take that information to the city commission," Barr said. "The city commission has the authority to suspend or revoke an establishment's liquor license."
Barr offered club patrons two pieces of advice if they thought an environment was unsafe.
"The first thing is to make sure that the owner or manager is aware of the situation, not a bartender or doorman." Barr said. "The next thing to do is call the fire department directly and we'll send someone out immediately."

Religious panel discusses war
Bv Cal Creek
By Cal Creek
ccreek@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Six religious leaders discussed the nature of war and what it means to their specific faiths last night.
The members represented the Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish and Protestant faiths for a crowd of about 55 students and Lawrence residents.
To make their points throughout the evening, the panelists quoted scriptures and teachings, told stories and spoke of current events.
"We thought it was essential with the war on Iraq to approach the issue through a faith perspective," said Jennifer Donnally, Lawrence sophomore and event coordinator. Donnally and Erin Larive, Lawrence sophomore, organized the event.
Titled, "What Does Religion Have to Say About War?" the panel met last night at the Walnut Room in the Kansas Union.
Each panelist discussed what his faith thought was necessary to justify a war.
The Protestant representative, Caleb Stegall, said Protestants must look at war with hopeful realism to recognize the sin in all humans, even themselves. People must temper their self-righteousness and not assume that God is always on their side, he said.
Other members of the panel said that the pursuit of peace came before any thoughts of war.
"Any Jewish discussion of war must begin with peace," said Ken Katz, the Jewish representative. "The Torah demands that one must seek for peace."
Audience members wanted to know if an attack on Iraq would
be perceived by the rest of the world as an attack on Islam, and what wars in the past have been justified.
The Rev. Vince Krische, Catholic representative, said the Catholic Church had seven principles that must be attained if a war was to be justified.
Some cited historical figures who best represented their views.
"The most illustrious apostle of nonviolence was Gandhi," said Surendra Bhana, the Hindu representative and professor of history.
Dan Breslauer, the representative for Islam and professor of religious studies said that, to a Muslim, war should never be out of aggression or for the conquest for property, but only if Islam or a person's way of life was threatened.

'Taboo' topic aids women's issues
By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com lairey staff writer
The February Sisters Association brought The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler to the Kansas Union last night as part of a V-Day College Campaign to raise money and awareness to stop violence against women and girls.
About 400 people attended the third annual performance, a celebration of all things "down there."
Carey Sherrer, February Sisters Associations co-chairwoman, said it was amazing to see people's reactions. "It's so taboo in our culture," she said. "This event is eye-opening for everyone."
Performances will continue tonight and tomorrow night at 8 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. An informational fair is open across the hall before and during each show, including vagina trivia.
"This kind of event takes the stigma off the word vagina," said Shelagh Jessop, Grayslake, Ill. sophomore. "It gets the stories of women out there."
Because the play is performed by a local volunteer cast and led by a local volunteer director, all proceeds from ticket sales and ruffle tickets benefit Women's Transitional Care Services, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, Rape Victim Survivor Service, the Sacred Hoop Project and the V-Day Initiative.
Jerilyn Smith, director of survivor services for the Rape Victim-Survivor Service, said the event created awareness. "People can make a connection to the importance of awareness about violence," she said.
Stephen Moles, Lawrence
freshman, said it was crazy to be a guy in the The Vagina Monologues. "I was trying to find the rhythm and the voice of the piece."
The monologues are based on more than 200 interviews with women around the world.
Gail Krotty, February Sisters Association co-chairwoman and Lisbon, Ohio, graduate student, said there was positive energy. "It's a play that makes you feel things instead of just watching."
In 2002, more than 800 productions of The Vagina Monologues took place on college campuses and in communities to raise funding and awareness for V-Day. A monologue on the struggles of Native-American women was also added to the monologues.

Dating defeated by casual sex
COMMENTARY
In the aftermath of the most over hyped holiday of the year, Valen- tine's Day
I stayed holiday of the year, Valentine's Day — what I refer to as Been-your-best-behavior-so you-can-get-some Day — it is time to face the reality of college relationships and our behaviors toward one other.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2003
Today's interactions among couples aren't about cute cards, flowers or poems. They are about hook-ups, makeouts and, to put it crassly, hittin' it, Valentine's Day is just a frilly way for us to disguise our true intentions. Whatever happened to casual conversation? Innocent flirting? How about dating?
Back in the day, if a man was interested in a woman he would have to jump through a number of hoops to ask a woman on a date. It was a time for ladies, lords, gentlemen and gentlewomen. Society was based on respect and being "proper." The standards for gentleman-like behavior were summarized in a word — chivalry. (No groans please.)
Kara Warner opinion@kansan.com
According to the Knighthood, Chivalry and Tournament Glossary of Terms, the word comes from the French word chevalier and describes the virtuous behaviors expected by knights of the
court. The meaning of the word evolved over time but eventually merged with the concept of the gentleman.
Sadly, much of that formal behavior would be laughed at today (as would the idea of true gentlemen and true ladies), but it doesn't mean we can't modify it a bit, right?
I'll start with a few tips for the gentlemen. We ladies — at least most of us — are not asking for much. Start with little things like holding doors open for us (that means on campus and off), helping us with our coats and pulling out our chairs. It's not as if we aren't capable of doing these by ourselves, (and many women prefer to do so) but the gestures would be appreciated.
While I'm on a roll, when dancing at a club, instead of gyrating your way up behind us, how about asking us to dance? You think you've got the whole mystery-man aura in your favor. But come on, think of how you'd feel if some dude was bumpin' his business all over your back.
Here's another club/bar-related request: When you and your friends decide on some stupid line for a "group representative" to try on some innocent girl, it never works — period. Besides the fact that the snickering guys in the background usually give it away before the chosen one can even deliver the line, the fact that it took all of you to come up with it in the first place is not only lame, it is unimpressive.
Before you guys get defensive and write me nasty letters, I must admit that we ladies have some work to do as well. More often than not, we are half the problem. Yes, it's true. If we weren't responding to your shenanigans, you probably wouldn't continue to do them.

Women like potential for fame
PERSPECTIVE
It's the evening before Valentine's Day and the Granada is packed. But unlike most nights when there is a good balance of girls and guys, the ladies are far more prominent this evening.
Why? One reason: Members of the KU men's basketball team are present to play a game resembling Love Connection with a grand prize of spending a few hours with them in an alcohol-packed limo that evening.
Just in time for the big day for the dozen hopeful ladies participating. Many more — including many of my friends and myself — have turned out just for the opportunity to watch the action and brush shoulders with the boys.
Willing to do most anything for their attention, the women of the University of Kansas have a full-blown obsession with the male basketball players. A variety of reasons explains this phenomenon, but none is more prevalent than the desire to have the great status these men reflect among students mirrored onto them.
COMMENTARY
PINGYAN
But talents aside, these men are students just like you and me.
Step into the world of players like sophomore Michael Lee. A simple act such as walking to class is a different experience. While he doesn't receive as much attention as the five starters, he said, sometimes he caught stares, whispers or giggles from bubbly girls as he walked to class. Sitting in class, he's being watched.
Ashley Smith opinion@kansan.com
Should he share a comment, his opinion seems to matter more than anyone else's. Among a campus of nearly 30,000 people, he's a celebrity.
"While it's flattering most of the time, it can sometimes escalate to irritating depending on my mood," Lee said. "I have come to understand that it comes with the territory, and that puts it all into perspective."
Going out for the night is a much different experience than it is for most students. Simply trying to spend time with friends becomes an ordeal as they attract a crowd wherever they go. Drinks are free and lines are a foreign concept. They know if they ask any girl in the room to dance, the answer will be yes.
The girls have a basis for their behavior; we'll give them that. If nothing else, their adoration stems from the fact that a handful of these men have potential to play the sport professionally. Translation: They will make big bucks. A chance at making an impression on one of them before he
hits the big time is quite worth their time.
Furthermore, among ladies there is always competition for men. There is no finer catch at this University than a basketball player. Because girls are aware these athletes could have nearly any girl they desire, this creates a craving to become a player's one and only. "Taming the beast" is the ultimate accomplishment in this dating game.
It boils down to this: Girls want a piece of the fame. If you are dancing, conversing or even sitting next to one of these gentlemen in a public setting, you're instantly popular among your friends. The moment you return to them, they hound you with questions about every detail.
If one of the players gives you the smallest hello, your friends idolize you and ask to share in your cherished connection. The goal of "fame reflection" may seem shallow, but many unintentionally seek it.
The next time you're out and the entrance of one of these men resembles that of Justin Timberlake or Brad Pitt, keep in mind that if you strip away his on-court talent, he is simply your peer.
Remember, the players aren't living the life of the rich and famous quite yet only practicing.

Protests far from wasteful
EDITORIAL BOARD
Protest is not a dirty word, and KU students and other community members have proved that this week.
Most visibly, more than 1,000 people participated in a Lawrence anti-war protest Feb. 15, joining millions of peace advocates worldwide who took to their streets with their cause.
Repeatedly exercising their right to protest, they have proven protesting is not a waste of time, effort and money, as some allege. In fact, the recent protests — all of them — have influenced our community.
These protesters, and their fellow citizens, have made a crystal clear statement to the community about their beliefs and the rationale behind them. Unafraid to take a stand, protesters are actively working toward a goal, a goal made that much more attainable by their actions and the visibility of their actions.
As college students are frequently lambasted for apathy and lack of civic literacy, the sizable number of KU students who participated in and coordinated these protests deserve to be applauded for their efforts.
Mahatma Gandhi once said that we must be the change we wish to see in the world. By feeling courageous and passionate enough to boldly express their beliefs, these protesters are affecting change not only in the world but in themselves as well. They are thinking globally but acting locally, which is the best way to realize their goals of change and of education.
It matters to them, and it makes a difference for us all.
Even if the immediate effects of protests aren't apparent, they are far from being in vain.

Campus Christians clean up Allen Fieldhouse for funding
Bv Cal Creek
By Cal Creek
ccreek@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
While hordes of little kids played basketball on the empty Allen Fieldhouse court and coach Roy Williams provided postgame commentary. Hutchinson senior Sarah Schraeder walked around the bleachers of the Fieldhouse emptying all of the soft drinks, lemonades and other beverages into a large blue bucket of half-drank slop.
Schraeder cleaned the Fieldhouse as a member of Campus Christians. The group aims to raise money for its missionary trips this summer to Haiti, China and Kenya.
"For me, being able to earn this money is using something God has given me," said Sheila Black, Campus Christian student intern, event organizer and Lawrence senior. "There's nothing spiritual about cleaning the Fieldhouse. It's an ability God has given us."
The group of 45 began cleaning immediately after the game ended Wednesday night around 8:30
p.m. and stayed until 4:15 a.m.,
picking up trash, emptying cups
and using leaf blowers to push
trash into easily swept areas.
"The worst thing is when someone uses those cups to spit their chaw into." Black said.
The sweepers came next, collecting all the torn newspapers and smaller trash. They then turned in their brooms for mops, gleaming and polishing the hard wood floor and bleachers. Finally the Christians got on their hands and knees, not to pray, but to scrub every seat, banister and bench in the house. They followed the cleaning by putting away all the equipment and sneaking in a quick pick-up game of basketball.
This is the second time the organization cleaned the Fieldhouse this year. For each cleaning, the Campus Christians received $2,000 for their three trips and the students participating, said Trisha DeShon, campus minister.
Some students saw Wednesday night as a beginning for their work as missionaries.
"As a Christian, I'm called to serve. Doing this is just a little bit of what we're going to do in Haiti," said Beth Mattson, Tulsa, Okla., junior.
With only about 10 of the cleaning students going on the missions, a large majority of the students will never see the money they helped earn.
"I feel that I can't dedicate time to the missions. The way I can spread the gospel is by being here," said Andy Pull, Colfax, N.D., junior.
The Fieldhouse has been cleaned by an organization or club after every men's basketball game, George Barnes, field supervisor, said.
Other organizations that want to clean the field house after next season's games need to contact Ron Penry, facilities supervisor at 864-7987 at the beginning of September. Penry said the group must be willing to bring at least 30-40 people to clean, and it must be willing to clean after at least three games.

and the income of the principle is spent, Scarffe said. The other type of fund used by the Endowment Association is an expendable fund, in which the money is spent almost immediately instead of being invested, Scarffe said.
Scholarships,fellowships and faculty awards are among the
expenses paid for by permanent,
endowed funds.
"The faculty and staff and students will still receive 5 percent of endowed funds but we're changing how it's going to be available to them," Scarffe said.
The new spending policy will affect scholarships beginning in the summer, Scarfe said. The Office of Admissions and Scholarships will have 20 percent less money from the Endowment

Association to spend on scholarships. The office will decide how it handles the reduction in endowed funds.
The Endowment Association
has given $52 million to the University this year. This amount has increased 38 percent from this time last year, Scarffe said. But from this point, it will be decreasing.
The Endowment Association plans to lessen the impact by asking donors to donate more money to make up the difference, Seuferling said.
"When all is said and done, there will be a real dollar impact," Seuferling said.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said all questions were being referred to Scarffe.
The Kansas State University Foundation is also facing similar economic troubles. The Kansas State Collegian reported yesterday that the Foundation might reduce its funding to the university by $4.2 million this fiscal year.

Seniors to bid farewell
By Doyle Murphy
dmurphy@kansan.com
kansan sportswriter
Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison have rarely felt out of place in front of the 16,300 fans who regularly pack Allen Fieldhouse to see them play. Both, however, admitted they'll be more than a little uneasy when No.7 Jayhawks (21-6 overall, 11-2 Big 12 Conference play) take on No.16 Oklahoma State (20-6, 9-4) at noon tomorrow.
The two Kansas seniors will be playing their final home game as Jayhawks, but what really makes them nervous are the the speeches they'll be expected to give after the game as part of Senior Dav
"I'm not going to be comfortable at all," Hinrich said after Wednesday's 85-45 victory over Texas A&M. "I don't like speaking in front of that many people."
While Hinrich and Collision may not like standing behind a microphone, the two have had little trouble performing on the court. The Jayhawks' record is 104-27 during the duo's four seasons at Kansas. That's more than a quarter of the 409 victories Roy Williams has amassed in 15 seasons as Kansas' coach.
Hinrich and Collison's importance to the Jayhawks goes beyond wins and losses. Williams said that interacting with them as high school seniors renewed his faith in coaching at a time when 17-year-old egos and demeaning recruiting practices nearly drove him from the profession.
"If it wasn't for those guys and their families" he said. "This would probably be a lot livelier press conference, because it'd be someone else besides me here."
With the distractions of Senior Day activities, the responsibility for delivering a victory against the Cowboys falls to the underclassmen, sophomore guard Keith Langford said.

"It's up to us," he said. "We don't want to have them give their speeches after a loss."
Along with a proper farewell for its seniors, a victory on Saturday would further Kansas' quest for the Big 12 title. With three conference games to play, the Jayhawks lead Oklahoma and Texas by game, while the Cowboys trail by two.
Even with a conference title on the line, Williams seemed more interested in the fans' performance than his teams'.
"I don't care what happens on the court on Saturday," Williams said. "Those fans better never sit down."
Kirk Hinrich leads a drive down the court during the second half of Wednesday's 85-45 pounding of Texas A&M. Hinrich and Nick Collison will play their final home games as Jayhawks when Kansas plays No. 16 Oklahoma State tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse.

By Doyle Murphy

Kansan sportswriter
There won't be any more gasps when Wayne Simien bangs into another
player or talks of "tweaked" shoulders.
Simien was attempting to finish the season, despite playing with shoulder pain that he once likened to having a fork shoved into his shoulder.
"He tried." Kansas coach Roy Williams said at yesterday's press conference. "He really tried."
The sophomore forward is done for the season.
"Wavne never felt better than he did
in the Colorado game," Williams said of Simien's emotional state.
He injured the shoulder Jan. 4 when he jammed his hand into the basket
while trying to block a shot, forcing the shoulder back and down away from the socket. After sitting on the bench for 11 games, he returned to the floor against Iowa State with only an occasional wince to indicate anything was wrong. When he scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds in 20 minutes against Colorado, it seemed Simien would not only be able to contribute, but dominate.
But while Simien was thrilled to be on the floor again, struggling with a shoulder that would not stay together was beginning to wear him out.
Simien never denied feeling the excruciating pain — he simply said, "It's just something I'll have to get used to."
What he couldn't get used to was see-

Jayhawks to tangle with the Tigers
By Ryan Greene rggreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
After losing 80-57 in a hostile environment at No. 5 Kansas State on Wednesday, the road will stay bumpy as the Kansas women's basketball team nears the end of the regular season.
KANSAS VS. MISSOURI
KANSAS(10-15)
The first of Kansas' two remaining regular season contests will be at 6 p.m. tomorrow at Missouri. On Feb. 15, Missouri (13-12 overall, 7-7 Big 12 Conference) won the front end of the season series in Allen Fieldhouse, 61-55. One area that Kansas (10-15, 3-11) will be addressing from the first meeting is not only defending the perimeter, but scoring from the perimeter as well. In the first meeting, the Tigers went 7-for-16 from beyond the three-point line, while Kansas was only 1-for-5.

team will know what to expect in another unfriendly setting tomorrow.
"I think it's all about us," Washington said. "When you have a particularly hostile crowd, for young players to experience that, I knew that they grew up a lot."
Kansas comes in with confidence in their inside offense, Freshmen forwards Tamara Ransburg and Crystal Kemp are combining for an average of 21.7 points and 13.6 rebounds per game, but more
importantly have found consistency in their production.
The Jayhawks not only need offense on the perimeter but will need a repeat performance from Ransburg and Kemp, who combined for 27 points and 17 rebounds in the first Missouri game.
But Ransburg may have to go alone, as Kemp is questionable for tomorrow's game. Kemp suffered a mild concussion against Kansas State and was held out from practice yesterday.

New coach responsible for success in baseball
One might ask, what is the big deal they upset a better team?
Coach Ritch Price has created exciting baseball in Lawrence.
The real story line of the season is that Kansas swept the No. 6 ranked Louisiana State Tigers in Baton Rouge, La.
The Jayhawks are 11-3 on the season and Collegiate Baseball ranks the team No. 17 in the nation. Kansas is coming off a sweep over Eastern Michigan last weekend.
The difference is that, in baseball, the good college teams are always good and might drop one game in a series but not three consecutive games.
It has been nine years since the Jayhawks have had a solid baseball team, and to not only beat, but also sweep, a perennial powerhouse like LSU is an accomplishment in itself.
What is the cause of this quick turn-around?
Coaching.
Al Bohl, athletics director, said Price was committed to building a Top 25 baseball team.
Well Al, the team is accomplishing more than anybody expected in Price's first season.
A coach who was known on the West Coast built a quality program at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo in eight seasons.
The team experienced three straight 30-victory seasons before Price left for Kansas.
He also compiled nine Coach of the Year awards en route to a 501-403-1 career record.
"Ritch is one of the top young coaches in the country," said Stanford coach Mark Marquess. "He'll do a great job out there at Kansas. Not only is he great baseball person, but he is also wonderful at all the other duties that go along with coaching. You guys got a good one."
Junior first basemen Ryan Baty, sophomore third basemen Travis Metcalf, and most recently senior pitcher Kevin Wheeler have all won either Big 12 Pitcher or Player of the Week this season.
How does one coaching change translate to solid play on the diamond? Price brings a polished baseball résumé and has his players believing in themselves.
In 21 innings, Wheeler is 2-0 with a 2.49 ERA, which means Kansas has found its ace.
While talent is just one part of the game. Price gives the Jayhawks confidence.
The University needs another team to follow besides the men's basketball team.
A big component of Kansas winning baseball games is finding quality pitching to back up the offense.
The women's basketball team is two years away from success and the football team had a dismal season.
1
This weekend the Jayhawks will again have to prove themselves in the Music City Challenge.
Price can help Kansas continue this streak and provide fans with some optimism about baseball.
Kansas needs to keep the momentum rolling with the confidence that Price has instilled in this team.
If the victories keep piling up for the layhawks, fans will realize that the Price is right for Kansas baseball.

University shouldn't pay athletes
There is a bill going through the Nebraska legislature that would mandate payment for college football players. College athletes' other major money-making sport, basketball, is speculated to be on deck. Three other Big 12 Conference states would need to agree in order for this bill to take affect. Let's hope Kansas isn't one of them.
OK, let's not kid ourselves. Major revenue sports like basketball and football bring a lot of money to the school and people involved in each sport, none of whom are the players themselves. This is obviously not fair. There are a lot of coaches in the Big 12 and around the country who feel it is time to stop kidding ourselves about the sanctity of college athletics and compensate players for the time they put in and the money they generate. Colorado men's basketball coach Ricardo Patton is one of them. He has said "it's unrealistic to think these kids only need their education paid for and nothing else."
But all of these truths overlook one simple fact. If we are going to pay athletes, we need to pay them all. Title IX, the federal law ensuring equal treatment of male and female athletes, would become obsolete if football players were compensated but not female athletes. No doubt, lawsuits would be drawn up, if the law should pass. But the problem doesn't end with gender. All non-revenue male sports would be left in the dark as well. This would be the worst thing to happen to the state of Kansas since the education board outlawed the teaching of evolution.
A member of the Kansas rugby team puts just as much time and energy into his sport as a Kansas basketball player, so how could you only pay one of them? Isn't instant stardom, paid tuition, books, room and board enough? The quality of these scholarships and the inability to pay all college athletes is the slippery slope this new legislation will ultimately fail on.
Kansas forward Nick Collison pointed to the business side of college athletics, when he said people sell basketballs with his and Kirk Hinrich's picture on them. People were making money off of them.
This scenario is an inevitability. People are making money off high school basketball phenomena Lebron James, but he isn't compensated. This kind of exploitation will always be there, no matter what athletes are paid.
In the past few years, the Kansas Athletics Department has lost two of its competitive sports because of money. Let's hope it won't lose its fairness as well.
Recruits on All-American teams
Playing in the women's game for the West will be Lauren Ervin, 6-foot-4 power forward from Inglewood High School in Lakewood, Calif. Ervin averaged a double-double this season as a senior, and many recruiting analysts listed her as the No.2 recruit in America.
Three Kansas basketball recruits were named to this year's McDonald's High School All-American teams yesterday.
Future teammates on the Kansas men's basketball team J.R. Giddens and David Padgett will both play for the West in the men's game.
Giddens, a 6-foot-6 guard out of John Marshall High School in Oklahoma City is the top prep player in Oklahoma. His team is also ranked No. 1 in the state. Giddens has been compared to former Kansas swingman Kenny Gregory with
his explosive play.
Padgett, out of Reno High School in Reno, Nev., will be the apparent replacement for Nick Collison under the basket. A 6-foot-11 center, Padgett earned MVP honors at the prestigious Slam Dunk to the Beach Tournament and is also a three-time Northern Nevada class 4A Basketball MVP.

Chiefs, Green sign seven-year deal
The Associated Press
"I think it worked out well with both sides," said Green, who passed for 3,690 yards and 26 touchdowns last season. "I do think from that salary cap-wise, it is very friendly in terms that we can go after
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Trent Green signed a seven-year, $50 million contract with Kansas City yesterday that will enable the Chiefs to save salary cap money and shore up their league-worst defense.
Green's agent, Jim Steiner, said the signing bonus will be $11.25 million. Green had been due an $8 million roster bonus by 3 p.m. Friday, a bonus would have caused the Chiefs salary cap trouble next season. That's not the case with the signing bonus.
some free agents now."
His original contract was for four more years.
"It was our hope and desire to change the roster bonus to a signing bonus, but we've done a little more than that,"
extending it to seven years," said Carl Peterson, the Chiefs' president.
"I appreciate Trent's cooperation in doing this. Obviously, it means some security for himself and his family. But it also gives us a great deal of flexibility in the cap."
The Chiefs turn their attention to restructuring the contract of running back Priest Holmes. Although he missed the final two games of last season with a hip injury, Holmes was named an All-Pro for the second year in a row.

This is in response to the recent trend of Kansan sportswriters calling the Kansas fans fair weather. My roommate and I drove down to the KU-OU game on Saturday through a blizzard, and several OU fans told me that there were more KU fans at the game than OSU fans when they played them a couple of weeks ago. I'm a Kansas fan, and the weather was anything but fair that week.
technically, no. Mizzou fans are cute.
I was just reading the story about the baseball player, Kevin Wheeler, winning that award, and I was just wondering, how can you pitch 8.2 innings? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thoughtinningswere measured in thirds.
Hey Wayne Simien, baby, only 11 days till our birthday!
--technically, no. Mizzou fans are cute.
I would just like to say that Nick Collison is an absolute soldier. He just circled the parking lot in front of Tower C for 10 minutes waiting for someone to leave.
technically, no. Mizzou fans are cute.
Hey Roy, when you're up by 40, you should take your starters out and put in the scrubs. Simien shouldn't have even played against A&M, and he got hurt. Way to go.
Does anyone else agree that Jeff Hawkins looks like the little toad from Super Mario Kart?
technically, no. Mizzou fans are cute.
Zollars is a Chicago senior in communications.
I'm watching the Mizzou-OU game right now and I was looking in the crowd of Missouri fans thinking that maybe I'd find someone cute that goes to Mizzou, and then I found someone and I was like, "Wow, they actually have a cute guy," but then I realized I know him. I went to high school with him. So technically he's from Kansas, so technically he's a Jayhawk, so

Hey Phog Phanatics, it's really not cool to make the players' brothers cry.

I just wanted to say congratulations to the bowling teams at KU. You guys are awesome.
I like how the Mizzou fans were chanting "Overrated" when they were beating Oklahoma. Those idiots don't even realize they're making fun of themselves when they're saying that.
图
This is the only time that I ever want to call in and say that Mizzou doesn't suck.
I really appreciate Jeff Graves' new pigtail hairdo, but I'm wondering if anyone else misses the corn row mullet.

Play-by-play announcers for the University of Kansas radio station JKHK 90.7 FM, Brian Bruce and Mike Alzamora, invite you to listen in as they call tomorrow's men's basketball game against Oklahoma State live from Allen Fieldhouse. Below, Expects and Alzamora bring you their expectations for the game.
The 20-6 Cowboys invade Lawrence this Saturday to take on the 21-6 Jayhawks. The teams' records would lead you to believe that they are pretty equal. But is that the case? Let's look at a few interesting match-ups to break the game down into more detail.
Between Victor Williams, 5'10", 187-pound senior point guard, and Aaron Miles, 6'1", 175-pound sophomore point guard, the edge in this battle goes to Williams. The Oklahoma State senior was named honorable mention All Big 12 as a junior, is averaging 15.5 points
per game and is a threat from the outside. Meanwhile, Miles is only averaging 8.8 points a game. He is averaging 7.2 assists per game, but his lack of effectiveness from the outside gives Williams the overall advantage.
Between Tony Allen, the 6"4", 205-pound junior shooting guard and Kirk Hinrich, 6'3", 190-pound senior shooting guard, Kansas' preseason All-America can candidate takes this battle. While Allen is averaging 14.8 points per game and hitting 43 percent of his three-point attempts. Hinrich's quickness, shooting, ball-handling and experience will just be too much. Hinrich is averaging 18.1 points per game and is hitting threes at a 44 percent clip. His intelligence and leadership on the court are unmatched in the Big 12.
Brian Bruce, KJHK
Oklahoma State comes into Allen Fieldhouse looking to rid itself of the sour taste in its mouth after its last game. The Cowboys' 62-57 defeat to Texas Tech this past Monday—their fourth in their last six games—practically destroyed their chances of winning the conference.
But the Jayhawks have some emotional demons of their own. The loss of Wayne Simien for the remainder of the season leaves Kansas' postseason chances in limbo. The Hawks must not let their intensity be effected. Aside from Simien, tomorrow's Senior Day festivities could also effect their focus. Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison will play in front of the Fieldhouse faithful for the last time as Jayhawks.
Like Oklahoma University, The Cowboys could pose problems for Kansas offensively. Oklahoma State is the best team in the conference in field goal percentage defense as its opponents are

shooting a measly 39.2 percent while only allowing 62.1 points per game, which is good for second in the league. Kansas will have to establish its transition game early and not allow the Cowboys to dictate the tempo. Otherwise, the Cowboys could spoil Senior Day and the Hawks' chances of another conference crown.

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK - GO KU "Treat Yourself Healthy"

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2003
SPORTS
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7B
Tennis set to play three
Three matches in three days await the No. 63 Kansas tennis team.
"Right now we are going to take one match at a time," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "I do hope by Sunday we will beat the best team we face this weekend."
Kansas faces the No. 54 Iowa Hawkeyes at 2 p.m. today in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes hold a 2-4 mark on the season. The Jayhawks then take on Iowa State (1-4) at noon tomorrow in Ames, Iowa, before returning home Sunday for a match
against the No. 38-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (6-1). Sunday's match will start at noon at the Wood Valley Racquet Club in Topeka.
Last season Kansas defeated the Hawkeyes 5-2 and hold a 6-3 all-time series lead on Iowa. The Jayhawks own the series against Iowa State with a 28-1 advantage. Last season in Lawrence, the Cyclones lost 7-0.
Kansas, though, has struggled in matches against Ohio State. The Jayhawks have never defeated the Buckeyes
and lost last season 6-1 in Columbus, Ohio.
After a 3-1 start to the season, Kansas dropped two consecutive matches last weekend. Kansas struggled with altitude problems and could not muster a win against the New Mexico Lobos and the Denver Pioneers last weekend in Denver.
"We started slow last year and we used that as motivation to get better," Waterman said. "This team has a lot of character and it will show in a positive way."

Smith says adios to Cowboys
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas - Emmitt Smith, the leading rusher in NFL history, was released yesterday after 13 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
Smith said he's not ready to retire.
"In my mind, I think I'm a 1,300-yard back, and I will be out to prove that," Smith said at a news conference with team owner Jerry Jones.
He was released to make way for a younger, cheaper running back for the Cowboys, who have been 5-11 for the last three seasons. It's the first major roster shakeup since Bill Parcells took over as coach, although Jones has made it clear it was his decision.
"It is with great emotion that I announce that Emmitt Smith will not be a part of the 2003 Dallas Cowboys football team," Jones said. "As an organization we have got to start thinking about life without Emmitt at running back."
The timing gets Smith on the market for the start of free agency; teams can begin signing players Friday.
Smith's status has been in doubt for months because of his contract and age. He turns 34 in May and was due a base salary of $7 million next season, with a salary-cap figure of $9.8 million.
He'll still count $4.9 million against next season's cap. Had Dallas waited until June 1, Smith would've counted $2.8 million against the 2003 cap, with the remaining $2.1 million hitting in 2004.
"In my mind, the best thing would be for me to move myself out of the equation, to do what it takes to move this organization back in the right direction," Smith said.
Smith would love to go to a team that can provide a good line and a chance to earn a fourth Super Bowl ring, such as Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay, in his home state, or the Oakland Raiders, who often provide jobs for aging superstars.
Whether those teams want him or could offer enough playing time to satisfy him remains to be seen. Smith may have to choose between a small role on a good team or a big role on a bad one.
Smith said he believes he can still be a featured back, despite failing to gain 1,000 yards last season for the first time since he was a rookie. He had 975, with only two 100-yard games and a paltry average of 3.8 yards per carry.
"There is no doubt in my mind that Emmitt Smith can make a significant contribution to winning in the NFL today," Jones said.
games because of injury in his career and remains in good shape. He's said he wants to keep running until he passes 20,000 yards;his career total is 17,162.
Smith has missed only four
Smith hasn't cracked 1,300 yards the past three seasons. He's been hampered, though, by a tattered line and a passing game that's been among the league's worst.
The Cowboys tried phasing Smith out last season after he passed Walter Payton on the career rushing list. Realizing his Dallas days might be ending, Smith pried the nameplate off his locker at team headquarters before leaving for the season finale.
Troy Hambrick moves up to No. 1 on the Cowboys' depth chart, but certainly won't be handed the job. Dallas has the fifth pick in the upcoming draft and could sign a proven veteran in free agency, such as Stephen Davis, released Wednesday by Washington.
While Smith was cut with an eye on the future, his departure severs the final link to a celebrated part of the team's past.
Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin were stars of an offense that led Dallas to three Super Bowl championships in the 1990s. Known as "The Triplets," they began breaking up when Irvin retired in 1999 because of a neck injury. Aikman was cut after the 2000 season.
Kansas to strike teams at tourney
After spending the last two weekends on the West Coast, the Kansas softball team has shifted its scene to the east where it hopes to establish a "sweet home" in the Crimson Classic in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and continue its best start since the 1996 season.
The Jayhawks (10-3) will start tournament play today by facing Penn State at 11 a.m. Kansas finishes today against the journey host, No. 14 Alabama at 4 p.m. On Saturday, the 'Hawks will take on Texas-Arlington at 11 a.m. The team will play a second game on Saturday in bracket play and another game on Sunday in either the consolation game at 11 a.m. or the tourney championship at 1:30 p.m.
Penn State (1-4) has struggled out of the gate after five games at the Stanford Invitational. Three of the Nittany Lions' losses were by two runs or less.
The hosting Crimson Tide (13-
5) will put its No. 14 ranking on the line later today. So far, Alabama has been smoking in both the hitting and pitching departments. First baseman Jackie McClain, and her 404 batting average and 23 hits, is a prime example of the team's success at the plate. The Crimson Tide's pitching staff has an overall team ERA of 1.22. Even though the Mavericks of TexasArlington (8-7) have a mediocre record so far, the team has won four games in a row. Like Alabama, the team's pitching staff has been sensational, with an overall team ERA of 1.70.
Next up for the Jayhawks is some time off to study for midterms.
The 'Hawks will resume play after a 13 day hiatus when they take on New Mexico State in a doubleheader on March 15 in Stillwater, Okla.

Baseball looks to add to winning streak
The Kansas baseball team is playing three games this weekend against three schools in two cities.
Kansas will face Middle Tennessee State at 3 p.m. today in Murfreesboro, Tenn., then head northwest to face Lipscomb at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Nashville, Tenn. The team will face Vanderbilt at 1 p.m. on Sunday in Nashville, Tenn. All three games are part of the Music City Challenge.
For Kansas, the probable starters on the mound are all southpaws. Senior Kevin Wheeler leads the Jayhawks in wins and ERA, and struck out 12 batters in Kansas' 3-1 victory against Eastern Michigan
on Feb. 21. Matt Trible leads the Jayhawks offensively, batting .481 and scoring 15 runs. First baseman Ryan Baty is close to the .400 mark and has batted in 13 runs.
Kansas' first opponent on the road, Middle Tennessee State, has begun the season with a 1-2 record. Vanderbilt is 4-3 with two games having been canceled.
Lipscomb started the season by defeating Birmingham Southern 9-1, but the Bisons lost their following three games.
After the Music City Challenge, Kansas will play one game against Creighton University at 2:30 p.m. on March 4 in Omaha, Neb.

'Hawks make run for Big 12 crown
The Kansas men's and women's track and field team competes this weekend at the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships in Lincoln, Neb.
The Jayhawks finished seventh in the men's competition last year and the women's squad finished sixth. Kansas returns two Big 12 indoor champions from last year's competition. Junior sprinter Leo Bookman won last year's 200-meter dash title in a school-record of 21.03 seconds. The women bring back senior long jumper Monique Peters, who won the 2002 long jump title with a jump of 19-10 3/4.
The men, who finished the regular season 5-3 and 2-2 in Big 12 competition, also return senior pole vaulter Vadim Gvozdetskily and senior triple jumper Benaud Shirley, who finished as runners-up last year. The women (4-1, 3-1) return a runner-up in sophomore triple jumper Brooklyn Hann.
Nebraska won last year's men's indoor competition and will host the event today and tomorrow at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Texas will defend last year's women's title.
Today's competitions will begin with multi-events at 10 a.m., followed by running events at 2 p.m. and field events at 2:45 p.m. The competition then resumes tomorrow with multi-events at 10 a.m., field events at 1:30 p.m. and running events at 3 p.m. The meet concludes at 6:45 p.m. tomorrow with the 4x400-meter relay.

Forwards Nichelle Roberts and Blair Waltz double-team Missouri's Tracy Lozier during Kansas' 61-54 defeat on Feb. 15. The Jayhawks will try to even the border war when they travel to Columbia tomorrow.
Missouri and Kansas to duel in border war
By Shane Mettlen
smettlen@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team will visit Missouri for the second game of this year's border war at 6 p.m. tomorrow.Both teams are coming off disappointing losses and looking to get back on track.
Kansas will try to forget about Wednesday night's 80-57 drubbing at the hands of Kansas State with a victory over its other archrival, Missouri.
The Tigers, meanwhile, will try to rebound from a 74-69 heartbreaker against Oklahoma on Wednesday.
With the loss, the Tigers slipped into sixth place in the Big 12 Conference, one game behind the Sooners.
Foul shots made the difference for Oklahoma.
The Sooners went to the line 36 times compared to eight free throw attempts for the Tigers. Despite the wide margin, Missouri stayed close the entire game.
"I give credit to our kids for hanging in there and battling, because it's horrible that they had to fight against that kind of disparity from the free-throw line," Missouri coach Cindy Stein said after the game. "It's unfortunate because we really needed this game, and it definitely shows what the kids had to go through. There were times we lost our poise, but I was so proud of the way this team battled."
Evan Unrau and Tracy Lozier led the Tigers with 17 points each. Unrau also led Missouri in scoring in the season's first meeting with Kansas with 18 points. The Tigers won 61-55 in Lawrence.
If the Jayhawks are to be successful this time around they will need to continue to get the ball into the post. Kansas outscored Missouri 32-24 in the paint during the game in Lawrence.

Pitcher: Many baseball players 'juiced'
NEW YORK — David Wells claims up to 40 percent of major-leaguers use steroids and says amphetamines are readily available in baseball clubhouses.
The Associated Press
"As of right now, I'd estimate 25 to 40 percent of all major-leaguers are juiced. But that number's fast rising." Wells wrote in "Perfect I'm Not! Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches and Baseball," an autobiography scheduled for release next month.
Wells also admits he was "halfdrunk" and had a "raging, skullrattling hangover" when he
pitched his perfect game against Minnesota in May 1998, having stayed at the "Saturday Night Live" season-ending party until 5 a.m., eight hours before game time.
A copy of the galleys of the book, written by Chris Kreski, was obtained by The Associated Press from publisher William Morrow.
"Down in the minors, where virtually every flat-broke, baloney-sandwich-eating Double-A prospect is chasing after the same, elusive, multimillion-dollar payday, the use of anabolic homer-helpers is flat-out booming." Wells wrote. "At just about
12 bucks per shot, those steroid vials must be seen as a really solid investment."
He writes that amphetamines are so commonplace that "stand in the middle of your clubhouse and walk 10 feet in any direction, chances are you'll find what you need."
"As a pitcher, I won't ever object to a sleepy-eyed middle infielder bearing up to help me win," Wells said. "That may not be the politically correct spin on the practice, but I really couldn't care less."
Rob Manfred, executive vice president of labor relations in the commissioner's office.
declined comment on Wells' claims. Major-leaguers are being tested for the first time this year for certain illegal steroids and drugs of abuse, but the testing has been criticized by some as not extensive enough to be effective.
The 39-year-old left-hander was not available for comment yesterday.
In the book, Wells alternately criticizes and praises Roger Clemens, admits he's not friendly with teammate Mike Mussina, says Andy Pettitt was angered by Hideki Irabu's large salary and calls former teammate Kenny Rogers a "cuckoo-bird."

Sophomore forward Wayne Simien is escorted off the court after reinjuring his shoulder during Wednesday night's game against Texas A&M. Coach Roy Williams announced Simien was done for the season during a press conference yesterday.

CONTINUED FROM PGE 1B
ing his mother, Margaret, worry in the stands, Williams said.
"When a kid sits there and says 'Coach, it's hard for Mom to sit there and watch me wince all the time,' it's difficult," Williams said.
Sinien's comeback reached the end of the road during Wednesday's game against Texas A&M. He played less than a minute before a collision with an Aggie player sent him to the sideline and then the locker room. His shoulder had come out of place again. Sinien was able to pop it into the socket himself, but he did
not return to the floor.
An X-ray yesterday morning revealed that his condition hadn't changed, but Simien's outlook on the rest of the season had.
He and Williams met at 10:15 yesterday morning and agreed to make plans for a surgery within the next month. The surgery will tighten the ligaments that hold the joint together.
After the surgery and four to six months of rehabilitation Simien should return full force, said Kansas basketball trainer Mark Cairns.
"He'll come back stronger," he said. "The shoulder's stable. The bone looks good."

Celtics player Baker faces suspension
WALTHAM, Mass. — Vin Baker was suspended indefinitely by the Boston Celtics on Thursday after meeting with team officials, reportedly to discuss problems with alcohol.
The Celtics issued a statement on their Web site saying Baker had left the team "to address personal issues. It is unknown when Baker will rejoin the team." General manager Chris Wallace later confirmed Baker had been suspended.
Baker did not attend practice
yesterday after The Boston Globe, citing unidentified sources, reported he would be suspended for two weeks for alcohol-related problems. The brief statement from the team did not refer to a suspension, but Wallace said on his weekly radio show that the Celtics suspended Baker.
"Our first and foremost concern is Vin Baker the person, and we believe that taking time off is the best thing for him to do at this time." Wallace said in the statement. "We look forward to his successful return to the team."
Baseball works toward banning ephedra
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Baseball took its first move toward banning ephedra by prohibiting players with minor league contracts from taking the substance, which was linked to the death of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler.
The commissioner's office is powerless to extend the ban to major leaguers, who are covered by the collective bargaining agreement with the players' association.
But commissioner Bud Selig made the decision Monday to ban the use of ephedra in the minors, and notice was transmitted to the teams in a memorandum by Jennifer Gefsky, a lawyer in the labor
relations department of the commissioner's office.
"The minor leagues have always been the testing ground," said Brian Falkenberg, a pitcher at spring training with the Seattle Mariners on a minor league contract.
Players on 40-man major league rosters, including those on option to minor league teams, are not covered by the decision because they are members of the Major League Baseball Players Association. The players with major league contracts are covered by the drug-testing rules of the new collective bargaining agreement, which bans only drugs of abuse and certain illegal steroids.
The decision to ban ephedra among players with minor league contracts was first reported yesterday by The Baltimore Sun and was confirmed to The Associated Press by a baseball official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Minor league players, who are not unionized, were tested on a sporadic basis for several years. Starting in 2002, the commissioner's office instituted centralized random testing for minor leaguers from spring training through the end of the season.
That program covers drugs of abuse, steroids and supplements such as androstenedione, and now, ephedra.
Ephedra is banned by the NFL.
NCAA and the International Olympic Committee. Baseball negotiators intended to propose last summer that it be banned in the major leagues, but after the players' association voiced opposition, management didn't include ephedra on its proposed list of banned substances, according to lawyers for both owners and the union.
Bechler, a 23-year-old pitcher who was overweight, died Feb. 17, a day after collapsing at spring training with heatstroke. A Florida medical examiner, Dr. Joshua Perper, said an ephedrabased diet pill, Xenadrine RFA-1, probably contributed to the player's death.
