Gail Sherron, associate director of scholarships for the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said the office was not sure of the exact impact of the reduced funding. Sherron found out about the reduced funding Friday morning. "Our strategy will be to take a look at what we have done so far," Sherron said. "We're not panicked because we're fairly confident in our awarding process." Sherron said current students who remained eligible would receive their scholarships with no changes. Incoming students who have already received notification of their award also will see no change in scholarships, Sherron said. "We are still in the process of awarding scholarships and don't know how it will affect those who have yet to receive awards because we're sitting on knowledge that is just six hours old," Sherron said Friday. Members of the University community, including school deans, received news Thursday that the Endowment Association would give 20 percent less from the association's permanent, endowed funds. The reduction in funding is due to a change in spending policy because of the declining stock market. Kim Wilcox, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said he was concerned about three areas: departmental student scholarships, named and distinguished faculty salaries and unrestricted funds, which are used for student travel and awards and lectures on campus. The permanent, endowed funds to be cut pay for part of some professors' salaries. As those funds are reduced, the University will find other ways to pay salaries. Wilcox said.

In addition to African dances, the event also included musical performances and a parade of flags. Annual celebration opens door to Africa Music, food, dancing help students learn about African culture By Henry C. Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In an effort to explain the nuances of African fashion, Kelly Barah used a simple analogy. While rapper Jay-Z's clothing line may not yet be marketing traditional African clothes, Barah and other members of the African Student Association did their best to demonstrate fashion and other aspects of African culture Saturday night at the group's annual Door to Africa celebration. "You see this?" Barah said, preening in traditional Cameroonian clothes. "This is like the best Rocca Wear in Africa. I look pretty good in it, don't I?" at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., with a buffet of traditional African food. The event kicked off at 5 p.m. Saturday About 300 people came to the ECM Saturday to eat food from countries like Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon and Kenya. Though there was plenty of food to go around, organizers of the event were surprised by the turnout. "There were much more people this year than came last year." "we Sira Konare, ASA's secretary." "we expected like 50 people. Fortunately we have cooked a lot of food." After dinner, which took nearly two hours to accommodate the large crowd, the Door to Africa moved to the Kansas Union ballroom where students demonstrated various aspects of African culture. Among the traditional African performances were African music, drumming, dancing and a fashion and flag showcase. Other acts showcased the spread of African culture throughout the world. Members of ASA performed jazz pieces, sang gospel songs like "Wade in the Water" and performed a hip-hop step dance to rap artist 50 Cent's "In Da Club." One of the highlights of the evening was an impromptu dance by freshman basketball player and Senegal native Moulaye Niang. Niang performed a dance to the beat of Senegalese dance music.

Bush announced this month that by the time a child today was old enough to drive, automakers should be selling pollution-free cars powered by hydrogen. By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer By Amy Potter The statement made by the president could be a positive move for professors at the University of Kansas who work on hydrogen car research. The new emphasis on the development of hydrogen cars could mean an increase in grant money for future research. "It's always nice to have the president say this is an area that's important to the nation," said Susan Williams, assistant professor in chemical and petroleum engineering. "Those ideas will then be funded." Williams is currently researching methane as a possible source of hydrogen for the hydrogen car. This new push to switch from petroleum to Trung Van Nguyen, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, is developing a fuel cell that would convert hydrogen to electricity that could be used to power electric vehicles. hydrogen would also mean changes for students who are entering the petroleum engineering field. For more on hydrogen-fueled cars, see "New fuel type" more safe" on page 84 Nguyen said petroleum engineers should not be worried. "There will always be a job." Nguyen said. "Just the application will be different." Nguyen said engineers could end up making plastics and polyester instead of jet fuel and gasoline. "There will still be a need in my lifetime for what-have-you." Esiert said. "I don't know Karl Eisert, Lawrence junior, is a petroleum engineer major. He said he was not concerned that the switch in fuel type for cars would affect his future occupation. Gasoline Engine: Burns fuel to generate heat. The heat is converted to drive the vehicle. Fuel cell: Converts hydrogen to electricity to run the engine. WHAT EACH FUEL TYPE DOES where exactly the whole fuel thing will be going, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a job somewhere the way it's going right now." Nguyen said he was the only professor working on fuel cell research at KU. To prepare students for the new technology, he is writing a proposal to develop a fuel cell course within the School of Engineering that would be offered in Spring 2004. "We need to educate our students and prepare them for this new technology." Nguyen said. "It will give our students and edge over students from other schools." 8 Edited by Ryan Wood V 2 1 --- MONDAY, MARCH 8, 2003 ZA • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN • 3A The Inside Front MONDAY, MARCH 3, 2003 News briefs CAMPUS Organization to sell tacos for fundraising effort The First Nations Student Association will host a fundraising taco sale tomorrow at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. The taco sale will raise funds for First Nations' annual powwow in April.

Jackson STATI Sunken space capsule returns to Cosmoshere HUTCHINSON — Liberty Bell 7, the Mercury space capsule that sunk in the Atlantic on July 21, 1961, has returned to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, where it was restored after its retrieval from the ocean in 1999. For the following 12 weeks, Liberty Bell 7 will be held at the Cosmosphere for the popular 6,000-square-foot interactive exhibit. "The Lost Spacecraft: Liberty Bell 7 Recovered." The exhibit opened Saturday, and after a national tour, the museum will be the permanent home of the space capsule piloted by Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom on the second manned flight in NASA's fledgling space program. Liberty Bell 7 remained in the Atlantic until a recovery expedition funded by the Discovery Channel located the Mercury spacecraft and recovered it 38 years to the date after its launch and following ocean loss. It was then taken to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center and restored. Visitors to "Lost Spacecraft" will be invited to experience the challenge and excitement known to early astronauts and modern-day explorers by touching, moving, pushing, operating climbing, maneuvering and controlling the interactive elements of the exhibit. Interactive experiences include flying a Mercury capsule simulate, riding a centrifuge and piloting a remotely operated vehicle. WORLD Sept. 11 attacks suspect captured in Pakistan ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks on America, was captured Saturday in a raid in Pakistan involving U.S. agents, officials told The Associated Press. The arrest could provide new clues in the search for Osama bin Laden. Mohammed, 37, is perhaps the most senior member of the al-Oaida terrorist network after bin Laden and Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri. Mohammed was arrested along with two other men in the city Rawalpindi, which is near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said. The raid was the work of both U.S. and Pakistani agents, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials who requested anonymity for their information. U. S. officials say Mohammed organized the Sept. 11, 2001, terror mission that sent hijacked passenger jets crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing more than 3,000 people. But even before then, Mohammed was wanted in connection with plots in the Philippines to bomb trans-Pacific airliners and crash a plane into CIA headquarters. Those were broken up in 1995. Mohammed narrowly escaped being captured in a raid about a week ago in the southwestern town of Quetta, a Pakistani government source said.

MONDAY.MARCH3.2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A Women in Law host Pub Night at Liberty Hall By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The crackle of an electric guitar filled Liberty Hall on Friday night but not for a rock concert. This band was made up of University of Kansas law school students, faculty and staff. The "Moody Blue Books" have been performing at the law school's annual Pub Night auction and variety show since the mid-1980s. "We have rehearsals once a week for about five weeks or so where we practice songs." said Richard Levy, law school professor and band member for 15 years. "There is always some nervous excitement but we were pretty relaxed about performing." The law students, professors and staff turned out in their leis and grass skirts for the lau-themed Pub Night sponsored by KU Women in Law. The event benefited Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen (L.I.N.K.). Women's Transitional Care Services, Rape Victim-Survivor Services and Douglas County Legal Aid. More than 500 people attended the event, said Megan Bray, president of KU Women in Law. "This event is good for camaraderie and people look forward to it all year." Bray said. "It's a chance to visit with our professors on a casual basis. We can hang out with them and not worry about grades." Local businesses donated gift certificates for a silent auction, and law school professors donated items, such as a dinner with Roy Williams, for the live auction with professional auctioneers. Bray estimated the event raised more than $3,000 after ticket sales and the auction. In addition to the Moody Blue Books, students created skits and performed songs for the talent show. The skits, including a choreographed routine to "Baby Got Back" and a Jeopardy sketch satirizing three law school professors by the Law School Ambassadors, drew laughs and cheers from the audience. After chants of "10! 10! 10!" from the audience, Josh Shuart, Topeka first-year law student, took home first place. Shuart sang "Take Me Home Tonight" dressed in black leather pants and a red nylon zip-up jacket. "Some of the members of Women in Law asked some first year guys to help them prepare an opening skit," said Phil Stein, Overland Park first-year law student. "We weren't very nervous. We were all looking forward to it. I thought Pub Night was a blast. It's awesome that everybody gets together for a social event that is for a good cause." Edited By Anne Mantey By Jessica Palimenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Local group gives family a home Shelby Samuel shed tears of happiness Saturday afternoon as her new house at 1813 Atherton Court was dedicated. Samuel's home is the 47th to be completed by Lawrence Habitat for Humanity. During the ceremony, Samuel thanked all of the volunteers and representatives from Habitat for Humanity who made her new home possible. "I wanted to thank everyone. I feel so blessed to have this home." Samuel said. The dedication ceremony was a celebration of the build, said Andre Bollaert, executive director of the organization. There is still some minor finishing work to be done, but Samuel and her three young children, Lamonte, Tyisha and Tyrin, will be able to move into their four bedroom home in a week or two. The homes built by the organization are sold to the families at a reduced cost with a no-interest loan. The average cost of a Habitat for Humanity home in the United States is about $46,500. A family is chosen by a board based on the family's need, willingness and ability to pay back the loan. The program also provides families with "family partners" who help them make the transition to homeowners. Family partner Doni Mooberry-Slough and her family have been in contact with the "I wanted to thank everyone.I feel so blessed to have this home" home" Shelby Samuel Owner of a Habitat for Humanity house Samuels since construction began in October. Moobery-Slough describes her role as a liaison between the family and the organization. "We will stay in contact with the family for a year and probably forever because our kids like to play together. So you don't just lose friends," Mooberry-Slough said. Another important branch that makes the program successful is the volunteers. Construction volunteers in Lawrence are currently working on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. No skills are necessary for volunteers, they just must be at least 16 years old. The University of Kansas chapter of Habitat for Humanity has had a hand in constructing many of the Habitat houses in the neighborhood, including Samuel's during the past two years. BETWEEN KIDS AND GIRLS Members said they got a lot out of helping with the program. One homeowner told members of the group that her new home was like a mansion to her. These words showed Shriti Masrani, Shawnee junior and group member, that shelter can't be taken for granted. Kelley Weiss/Kansan Shelby Samuel cries as she looks with two of her children Lamonte, left, and Tyisha, right, at the gifts members of Habitat for Humanity gave her family at the dedication of their new house. Samuel was touched by the dedication and said she couldn't wait to move into the home with her family in about two weeks. "It gives us a chance to meet people we usually wouldn't," Masrani said. The volunteers have a great sense of accomplishment when the homes are completed, said group president Mike Leighnor, Overland Park sophomore. People interested in volunteering can contact the Lawrence office at 832-0777 or the KU chapter by e-mail at info@kuhabitat.org.

X MONDAY MARCH 2, 2018 4A • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION MONDAY, MARCH 3.2003 EDITORIAL BOARD Protest overkill clouds issues Add the national campaign the "Taco Bell Truth Tour" to the list of causes of late: war with Iraq, the legalization of marijuana, the legalization of same-gender sexual acts, animal rights and sufficient pay for GTAs. It's important to protest for the right reasons. Think about whether the issue will be taken seriously. Will the protest be forgotten in a week or less? The idea behind the Taco Bell protests is a noble enough cause: Twenty colleges around the country are uniting with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, made up of farmers who pick the tomatoes for Taco Bell, through a campaign called "Boot the Bell." The farmers want the packing company that supplies Taco Bell to pay them a penny more per tomato picked to double their yearly salaries of $5,000 to $7,500. "Boot the Bell" and the Student Farm worker Alliance are trying to get Taco Bell products off of college campuses. So what happens in Lawrence? Protests were held Feb. 22 at the Taco Bell on 23rd Street and the Taco Bell on 6th Street. The protests here did not coincide with the "Boot the Bell" campaign, but they were inspired by it. If the goal was to scare a few people away from a Taco Bell on a Saturday and make them go to Jimmy John's, for example, then the protest was a success for the protesters and for Jimmy John's. So the next time a person wants a chalupa, will the message stick, or will hunger supersede everything? The hungry person could boycott Taco Bell and go to McDonald's for a Big Mac. Then he starts worrying if the people making the secret sauce are being mistreated or if the farmers picking the lettuce are getting paid enough. The farmers picking tomatoes may well have a cause that's worth fighting for. But is the public supposed to value one protest above another? Let's prioritize and concentrate on protests that aren't just a silly exercise of our right to freedom of speech. There are just too many things to worry about. Before you know it, he's retreated back to Taco Bell for a chalupa, forgetting why he boycotted it in the first place.

While the former groups protested the working conditions of Taco Bell's tomato supplier, the Republicans displayed their love for the restaurant and capitalism. When Lawrence Anti-Imperialists and Lawrence Industrial Workers of the World gath- Industrial Workers of the World and the Anti-Imperialists were protesting the poor working conditions of tomato pickers, specifically that they are only paid a handful of change per large box of tomatoes filled. The conditions were even likened to slave labor. The Republicans, ostensibly, like capitalism. In fact, Matt Flynn, vice chairman of the organization, said the group was present to support the idea. Capitalism is represented by any business, local or national. But there's no reason to single out Taco Bell. The members of the group are probably not so hooked on Mexican fast food that they felt compelled to gather on a weekend and hold up signs proclaiming their love for the business. I am only left to conclude that they were present to protest the protest. COMMENTARY So were they there to protest the groups or the message? If they were protesting the message, apparently they agree with the exploitation of low-end workers. "Capitalism Rulz," a T-shirt slogan, would then be an endorsement of the pure capitalist system, before ethics, where those on top stay there by any means necessary. M. But I'm willing to give them more moral credit than that. I must conclude that they were there to protest the groups. It's easy to see how self-proclaimed pro-capitalists would stand in opposition to groups such as 'International Workers of the World,' that are quite Marxist-influenced. But if that is their message, the Republicans need to find a better way to express it. Sam Lane readersrep@kansan.com An event aimed at human rights is not the place to attack the organizing groups it makes the disrupter appear to be anti-human rights. The juxtaposition of the protests really did give the appearance of the Republicans being pro-exploitation, and that makes all republicans look bad. If tomato pickers could have been there, I doubt they would have appreciated the Republicans attempting to undermine their advocates. This is not the first time such a thing has happened. Much worse transpired about a year ago, when KU Greens held a fast to raise awareness of the plight of Afghan civilians. The KU Objectivists, an antagonistic group I'm happy not to have heard from recently, attempted to crash the event by distributing free cake The Republicans need to learn from the Objectivists' mistake and express their views without attempting to trivialize others' reasonable grievances. decorated as the U.S. flag, at the same place and time as the fast. Words fail me to express the depth of its blatant rudeness and insensitivity. Suffice it to say it was immature. They celebrated gluttony literally in the face of those attempting a small act of compassionate asceticism. Not agreeing with the Greens is its choice. Not agreeing with the message is its choice. But the group should at least have enough respect for the choices of others to avoid holding events in such poor taste. It is true the Objectivists exercised their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and assembly. I have the right to stand in the middle of a snowy parking lot half naked on a cold night and hit myself on the head with a hammer until I pass out. That does not make it a good idea. A real protest happens when people see something, such as human exploitation, as such a problem that they are compelled to take to the streets and voice their discontent with signs and chants. Protests are serious. Their importance is the reason the rights to free speech and assembly are in the Constitution. They should be treated with maturity. Perhaps that the Objectivists failed to do so is the reason they no longer appear in the public eve. Lane is a Leavenworth senior in psychology. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Says here in the local newspaper that the University of Kansas is putting on a play about vaginas, The Vagina Monologues. Muddled monologues Says here the play raises questions, like what would a vagina say if it could talk. Well it can't talk. That's why the play is called Monologues. Not that a lot of people try that. The play also explores "where the vagina is." Well, folks where I come from have no trouble on that. Fact is, half the folks in town have one, everyone know where it is, and the other half of town is always trying to get its hands on it. But that was all back in the days when vaginas were reasonable. Now-a-days just to look at one you have to have it all in writing and notarized. Nor do the vaginas in my town seem to need much "empowerment." Seems to me they're already the most valuable things in town. That's why they keep them hidden, so no one can steal 'em. Says here the play also explores "why it is so seldom talked about." Now that is serious. I'm simply stunned at how women clam up when I ask, "And how is your vagina today?" Leonard Magruder, president, Vietnam Veterans for Academic Reform Opinion page needs balance My biggest complaint about The Unit The last thing a paper wants to be is biased. Every time the paper only prints the left side, it puts the Kansan that much closer to biased. The times that the Kansan does print both sides builds its credibility. versity 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 as well. As I said, I have no problem with antiwar articles (although I disagree), but they need to be balanced. Russell Warren, Lawrence senior American ethnocentrism In response to Nathan Clark's letter to the editor, "Ridiculous anti-Americanism"(The University Daily Kansan, Feb. 21), I would just like to say thank you. Thank you for strengthening my argument that America has become an even more ethnocentric, vile place to live. Clark responds to Dunavan's article with a suggestion to "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." Moral equivalence between "them" and "us?" This close minded, outright redneck ideal is going to determine the fate of this nation and whether we are viewed globally as a lynch mob with unthought out principles. The issue I'm addressing is not whether Saddam Hussein is an evil lunatic, but rather how gung-ho and quick ournation is to place blame on "the other countries" without even thinking. Perhaps Mr. Clark should review the definition of cultural relativism so he might know that it is unethical to judge a society that he is not a part of. In the future, please choose your words more carefully to get your point across without the ethnocentrism. Eric Schaumburg, Prairie Village sophomore Protests not just about war The recent guest commentary, "War opposition eliminates need for censorship" (The University Daily Kansan, Feb. 26), attacking the anti-war protesters is yet another weak apology for the unilateral imperialism of the U.S. administration. 2 Concerns that oil is this administration's cause for an attack on Iraq is dismissed by the author as a "conspiracy".

MONDAY, MARCH 3, 2003 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4A mately concerned with oil In the mean time, empty polemics are employed to abuse the rest of the newspaper column. He mentions a "loud but strange opposition" coming from Western Europe and the "rabidly Bush-hating British public," but in all this rhetoric the author never once questions why the democratic governments of Britain, Italy, and others are ignoring their own people. Despite all that, there is one point on which the author and I are in full agreement. The anti-war protests are clearly not just about war. First of all, the term itself is misleading, because when the administration finally does attack Iraq, it will be less war, more bombing exercise. But who among the protesters would actually mind the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime? What most of the protesters are concerned with is the sheer and unrelenting arrogance of the Bush-Rumsfeld administration. And although neither I nor the author like slogans, I've found one that suits our position well and I won't mind repeating it: Drop Bush, not bombs. Matt Brooks, Lawrence resident No tax dollars to prisons I agree with Steve Ducey's recent editorial stressing funding of education rather than incarceration. On April 1, voters will decide if they want to give $60 million to the DLR Group, a company profiting from incarceration. The people of Lawrence should know that the DLR Group is responsible for correctional institutions being scrutinized and investigated for human rights violations. As Ducey's editorial implied, incarceration is big business in the United States, where more than two million people are in prison. No other country has so many of its citizens jailed. The taxpayers of Lawrence should not support a company that makes money from incarceration. As Ducey asserted, education and rehabilitation are the more humane, socially responsible and economical options. Let's stop this cycle by voting NO! on the bond issue that would give our tax dollars to the DLR Group. Chantel C. Guidry, library assistant, Watson Library Not a tribal affair Did an editor review Wednesday's front page story, "Powwow Funds Questioned"? If so, it appears that both reporter and editor need to learn the difference between a student organization and a tribe. The story states "the association finds a head lady and head man from outside the tribe to dance at the powwow." Then it goes on to say "the group...had the talent within the tribe and decided to use its own members." What "tribe" are you referring to in the story? In the future, perhaps the reporter needs to ask enough questions to understand the story before attempting to report it to others. Tommee Sherwood, Custodial Crew Leader, University of Kansas Stop the name-calling I'm not sure what the reason is for the recent deluge of venom and name-calling at creationists in the Free for All, but here's a couple things for evolutionists to think about. The very word you use to describe your position, "believe," belies the fact that evolution is still merely a theory, just like creation. And believing equates to faith which is a step away from religion, something most (not all) evolutionists claim to abhor. Second, a creationist is not automatically stupid. They just have a different belief than you. This is the same sort of base ignorance that many of you left-learners accuse Americans of exhibiting with regards to other world religions and cultures, especially Middle Eastern Muslimls. Why not try a rational discourse on the topic based on a thorough examination of scientific fact as it stands? You might just find that despite the widely publicized "evidence" in support of evolution, there is a vast preponderance of evidentiary support for creation. Matt Terrill, Overland Park freshman Rivalry no excuse I saw the picture on page 3B on Feb. 21, 2003 entitled "Buffalo, one game closer to extinction." It's a good thing Coca-Cola wanted no part of this rivalry situation between Big 12 athletic schools. The buffalo, or yannash in the Choctaw language, was the giver of life and sustenance to many tribes and nations throughout the northern and southern plains. U.S. military leaders such as Phillip Sheridan advocated the slaughter of the buffalo as economic genocide against the Dakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche and Kiowa peoples by slaughtering the buffalo to the point of near extinction. Such acts of extinction still occur at Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park every time a buffalo leaves the park's boundaries. This equation by The University Daily Kansan of defeating the Colorado Buffalo basketball team with the extinction practices of the U.S. government and military forces against the Buffalo and Native People of Turtle Island is unexcusable. I commend Coca-Cola for its stance. However, where is the concept of reality and sensitivity in higher education? Mike Ford, Lawrence resident B's Glass Tobacco Smoking Accessories Huge Sale!

It's the reality of Student Senate. Scott McKenzie, CLAS senator, said a block of 12 angry men which includes men from both coalitions, Delta Force and KUnited, and a few angry women were running Student Senate by doing most of the bill writing and presenting. The subject of men was brought up at the first-ever women's caucus to discuss gender-related problems in Student Senate on Saturday at the Burge Union. Five senators attended. Despite the small turnout, Amy Cummins, graduate senator, said the women's caucus was the first step in troubleshooting the problems in Senate. "The problems are not all related to gender," she said. "It's the patriarchy itself and the establishment of the status quo enforcing privilege. Men are not to blame, not at all." Even though Senate's ratio of men to women is about equal, men do present more, make more questions and are more vocal in Senate, Cummins said. Student Body President Jonathan Ng said gender problems also could be related to bigger issues within in society. "I have never noticed glaring problems of gender inequity," Ng said. "The more pressing issue is the general lack of knowledge and productivity of senators as a whole." Loren Malone, student body vice president, said she didn't think gender was a problem in Senate. the finance committee and I don't know why that is," Malone said. "I don't know if the girls feel more intimidated. I hope that's not it." The group said Senate committees were telling of gender problems. Their perceptions were that the Finance and University Affairs committees were dominated by men, and the Student Rights and Multicultural Affairs committees were more women-friendly. Katie Dilks, CLAS senator, said she wasn't attracted to the Finance or University Affairs committee because they were male-dominated and also because she saw people being questioned and attacked for personal reasons. Dilks has been a Multicultural Affairs committee member for three semesters, which she says is a friendlier place. "It's difficult to be mean when you're fighting for diversity and cultural events," she said. Before the caucus, Chris Entwhistle said he didn't think gender problems existed in Senate. Women do have positions of power; Malone is student body vice president and Senate president; Catherine Bell is the student executive chairwoman; and Johanna Maska is the Student Legislative Awareness Board director. The group plans to discuss the issue at the next Senate meeting. One of the group's suggestions to improve gender relations was to have a picnic with all Senate members. After the caucus, Entwhistle said he planned to change his manner of presenting and questioning and to communicate with more Senate women. Edited by Anne Mantey RICO Lindsev Gold/Kansan Scott McKenzie, Salina senior, and Amy Cummins, Lawrence graduate student are two of the five student senators who attended a women's caucus to examine gender-related problems in Student Senate. The caucus was held Saturday in the Burge Union. The student senators discussed ways to better represent KU's female population by examining why certain Senate committees attracted more men than women. The group will bring up the issue in an open forum at the next Senate meeting. There are 38 women and 42 men in Student Senate, according to the Senate Web site. Professor named one of top ski instructors By Eddie Yang Kansan staff writer eyang@kansan.com The flat plains of Kansas aren't normally known for skiing, but one University of Kansas professor has been recognized for his ability on the slopes. Herb Tuttle, assistant professor of engineering management, said he didn't really know why he was named one of SKI Magazine's top 100 ski instructors. "It wasn't because I was the best looking." Tuttle said. For the past 10 years, Tuttle nas given ski lessons at Snow Creek in Weston, Mo. Currently, he gives ski lessons a couple nights a week and on the weekends. "I look at it as my physical workout," Tuttle said. "Where some people might go to Robinson and workout, I go and give ski lessons." Tuttle said being outdoors was also an incentive to give lessons. "I grew up in upstate New York and if you didn't ski or have a snowmobile, you didn't do anything." Tuttle said. Tuttle started giving ski lessons while he was a student at the University of New York at Alfred. He gave lessons for a physical education requirement and got certified later as a ski instructor. "One of the reasons I chose that school was because it had its own ski slope." Tuttle said. When Tuttle came to Kansas in the early '90s, he said he was afraid he would have to give up his hobby, but then found Snow Creek. Tuttle said after being honored as one of the top ski instructors, he has been receiving special attention from his colleagues. "Irib him every chance I get," said Tom Sanders, assistant director at Snow Creek. "When I put a group together for Herb, I'm sure to tell them that they should be honored to get one of the top 100." Sanders said. Sanders said that Tuttle had increased his involvement with the Adaptive Skiling program. The Adaptive Skiing program brings physically disabled people, as well as those who are deaf and blind, onto the slopes. "We have various devices that we use," Tuttle said. "For people in a wheelchair, we have a mono ski fitted with a seat. "That is one of the best things about my job. I can share skiing with people who would normally be unable to ski." Along with teaching at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, Tuttle has co-written two books and is earning his Ph.D in engineering management from the University of Alabama-Huntsville. "He is a very conscientious instructor who puts 100 percent in everything that he does," Sanders said. "He's an allaround good guy."

CENTRAL Some of this season's performances have already included orchestras, ballets, musicals and nationally recognized speakers and performers. Fred Pawlicki, the center's associate director, said this season was bringing acts that normally would only appear in big cities. David Finckel, cello and Wu Han, piano Upcoming shows include the Peking Opera at the end of the month, The Wynton Marsalis Septet, B.B. King and the Vagina Monologues. March events write some shows are sponsored by the center in conjunction with area merchants, outside promoters like Jade Presents of North Dakota bring high-profile performers such as Marsalis and King to the center. Pawlicki said this had been the most successful year in the center's history in attracting outside promoters. Sunday, March 9 The Wynton Marsalis Septet Thursday, March John Prine Thursday, March 13 Olga Kern, piano Thursday, March 27 Friday, March 28 The Peking Opera Trio Voronezh performs samples of Russian folk songs at the Kansas Union. The group played Friday night at the Lied Center. Upcoming shows at the Lied Center include the Peking Opera, B.B. King and the Vagina Monologues. Eric Braem/Kansan The Peking Opera Saturday, March 29 For more information call the Lied Center Ticket Office at 864-ARTS He said the hardest part of finding regional and national promoters was getting them interested in a small city like Lawrence. "I explain to the promoters that we have one of the finest performing arts center in the region," he said. Pawlicki said the center used the latest technical equipment on one of the largest stages in the area. But because University programs and functions have priority for scheduling dates, it is sometimes difficult to accommodate promoters' requests for, he said. "The Lied Center's highest priority is focused on an academic mission," Pawlickisaid. "Promoters are basically the sixth level of priority for available dates." The center presents its own series each season, which includes performances in six categories: The Broadway & Beyond Series, the Concert Series, the Lied Family Series, the New "These types of performances aren't available at many campuses," Pawlicki said. When Phillip Garlin, Houston senior, came to the University almost four years ago, he had no idea what the Lied Center offered. "My previous college didn't have anything like the Lied Ceni- ter," said Garlin, who attended Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas. "I think it's really great because you have the opportunity to see these great performances in Kansas." Garlin said he had taken advantage of Lied Center programming when he attended the University's opening convocation and listened to a lecture by Gloria Steinem, feminist author. Edited by Lindsay Hanson Lawrence.com gets facelift, adds entertainment By Erin Duffey editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan Lawrence.com has been tucked, tweaked and plucked. The end result is a heightened degree of interactive, edgy entertainment on the Web site. The new site delivers news, community events, services, movie showings, local music downloads and a restaurant guide through graffiti-style headlines and a clean, modern design. It features an MP3 database of local music in which users can select a random play list for an online radio-like experience. Users can also select songs from a vault of the music scene in Lawrence to create a customized play list. Phil Cauthn, the site's editor, said Lawrence.com had experienced 7,000 impressions, or viewings, per day before its renovation. The site was more or less a community bulletin board where users would gather information featuring a virtual Allen Fieldhouse and links to player pages. KUSports.com jumped to 3 million impressions per day from 1 million after the transition. about community happenings or leave feedback about local events. Adrian Holovaty, the site's lead developer, has transformed it into more of a database. The Lawrence com editors and technicians will closely monitor the feedback of its users and work out any kinks, Cauthon said. They will later begin print advertising and convergence cross-referring through partner media. Traffic is the end goal for the site. Cauthon said his team expected numbers to parallel the growth experienced by KUSports.com when it was redesigned last year. The World Company owns both KUSports.com and Lawrence.com. The new KUSports.com is a more stimulating, interactive stop for online users Caution said the greatest challenge of the project had been reaching a balance between edgi- ness and utility. It's the site's aim, he said, to represent the artistic culture that is Lawrence without alienating the loyal visitors who appreciate the site as a quick reference. "Every day you start from scratch," Cauthon said. "Trying to be innovative every step of the way." The site's frequent need for updates pose daily challenges to the site's creators. Edited by Lindsay Hanson Africa CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Although Niang said the event celebrating African culture was important to him, he said it could not compare to KU's defeat of Oklahoma State earlier in the day. "They're both good," Niang said. "But beating Oklahoma State makes us one step closer to getting a Big 12 ring." Vimbayi Kajese, Zimbabwe sophomore, who emceed part of Door to Africa, said the event offered an opportunity to dispel misconceptions about Africa. "People come up to me and assume that I speak Swahili or that I know there cousin in Kenya," she said. "People don't have a spatial awareness of how vast Africa is. Events like this help them learn." - Edited by Brandon Gay Cuts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A In a memo sent Thursday, Chancellor Robert Hemenway stated the need to deal with these cuts by using some of the same principles that guided the state budget cuts. The cuts will affect departments differently, he said. "We're still analyzing the exact nature of the impact," Wilcox said. "It may be wise for each department to review its KU Endowment Association account with an eye toward the future, making hard and careful choices about specific KU Endowment-funded activities that can be reduced in scope or eliminated altogether," Hemenway said in the memo. Wilcox said his biggest concern was the quality of a student's experience at the University because of cutting programs. "It's the small pieces that make it a richer experience for the student," Wilcox said. — Edited by Michelle Burhenn Join Us For A Grand Opening That's Guaranteed To Have Lots Of Style. NOW OPEN!

Kelley Weiss/Kansan Sam Polise, Overland Park junior, is an undergraduate research assistant working on developing the fuel cell. He said the hydrogen cars would pollute less and provide more efficiency. "It's environmentally a lot more safe," Polise said. "It's an improvement on the regular engine that's in place today. It's actually more efficient in not wasting as much fuel with this particular fuel cell." "It's environmentally a lot more safe. It's an improvement on the regular engine that's in place today. It's actually more efficient in not wasting as much fuel with this particular fuel cell." Trung Van Nguyen, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, is currently developing a new fuel cell. The cell would convert Sam Polise, Overland Park junior, makes sure everything works on the three-panel fuel cell he is monitoring.

Nguyen said the hydrogen replacement cell would help preserve petroleum fuel by using other sources. "The way we are using now." Nguyen said, "it will run out in about 100 years." If an alternative source is found, the life and future use of the petroleum fuel source could extend anywhere from 200 to 500 years, and maybe even much longer, Nguyen said. Even though the hydrogen car will change the work role of a petroleum engineer, Karl Eisert, Lawrence junior and petroleum engineering major, looks forward to the environmental benefits it has to offer consumers. "I personally feel very strongly about the environment and I'm very happy cars might not be petroleum based," Eisert said.

The study is the most significant in more than a decade on what the world should be doing about its diet. Although concerns about sugar intake are not new,very few experts have recommended a specific limit. The food industry immediately decried the document, insisting more exercise is the key to ending obesity. The report was commissioned by two U.N. agencies, the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization, and compiled by a panel of 30 international experts. The experts say heart disease, diabetes and other diseases that can be caused by poor diet and lack of exercise are no longer just the preserve of the Western world. The report underlines what doctors have been saying for years — that along with regular exercise, a diet low in fatty, sugary and salty food is key to staying healthy. The experts recommend one hour of daily exercise, double the amount recommended by the U.S. government but the same as that endorsed by other establishments. And their recommendations on how much fat, grains, protein, salt and fruits and vegetables people should eat also were in line with prevailing opinion. But when it came to sugar, their advice was the boldest yet. The experts said people should restrict their consumption of added sugar — meaning sugar not naturally present in honey, syrups and fruit juices — to below 10 percent of calories. In the United States, which leads the world in obesity, the government's Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise only that sugar should be used in moderation. The Institute of Medicine part of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, recommended in September that sugar could make up to 25 percent of calories. "There are very few international recommendations on sugar. There are countries that are trying to develop recommendations on sugar, but every time they introduce them, the pressure from industry-led groups is very high," said Derek Yach, chief of non-communicable diseases at the World Health Organization.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B Victory over Tech a must for title run By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Tonight's Big Monday match-up between Kansas and Texas Tech could be huge for the Jayhawks. Seventh-ranked Kansas (22-6 overall, 12-2 Big 12 Conference) could earn a share of the conference championship with a victory against Texas Tech (16-9, 6-8) in Lubbock, Texas. Kansas leads Oklahoma and Texas by one game with two more league games to play. If the Jayhawks beat Tech tonight and Missouri on Sunday, they will win sole possession of the Big 12 regular season title. Kansas sophomore guard Keith Langford was a part of last year's team that went 16-0 in the conference, setting a Big 12 record. The back-and-forth nature of this year's conference race has made a championship this season even more appealing. he said "I think it's going to be a lot more appreciated by the guys on the team," he said after Saturday's 79-61 victory against Oklahoma State. Before they make plans to cut down the nets, Langford and the Jayhawks will have to figure out a way to stop Tech junior guard Andre Emmett. Emmett averages a league-leading 22 points per game, including 20 against No. 5 Texas on Saturday. Emmett's performance along with Tech senior guard Will Chavis' 21 points and eight rebounds, was almost more than Texas could handle. Despite having four players reach double-digit scoring, Texas needed last-minute free throws to escape from Lubbock with a 76-71 victory. The Jayhawks can expect a similarly spirited effort when they walk into the Red Raiders' United Spirit Arena for Tech's Senior Night. Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich said Saturday. "We have to realize how tough it's going to be," he said. The game will also mark the first time Kansas has been to Tech's campus since coach Bob Knight took over for current Oklahoma State assistant coach James Dickey before the 2001-2002 season. Knight has 803 career victories, but only one of those has come against a team coached by Roy Williams. Williams has won seven of the eight meetings between the two.

Eric Braem/Kansan Women lose lead in opening minutes By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Defensively, Missouri (14-12 overall, 8-7 Big 12 Conference) forced 25 Jayhawk turnovers, including seven by freshman forward Tamara Ransburg. COLUMBIA, Mo. — It took the Kansas women's basketball team more than four minutes to score its first points Saturday at Missouri. But by the time Kansas was on the board, Missouri had already built a 10-0 lead that the Tigers would never relinquish on their way to a 73-52 victory. Offensively, senior guard Kerensa Barr, junior guard Tracy Lozier and junior center Stretch James scored 15 points each. Barr and Lozier combined for seven of Missouri's eight three-point field goals. Three-point shooting not only plagued Kansas (10-16,3-12) in the first Border War meeting Feb. 15 but Saturday night as well. "The thing is that they were really concentrating on Stretch inside, and she was still scoring," Missouri coach Cindy Stein said. "That's what's nice is having that inside presence."

Tenn. With the two victories, the Jayhawks improved their record to 13-4 on the young season. Kansas' first opponent of the weekend was tournament host, Middle Tennessee Kansas did not go quietly in the game. Junior outfielder Matt Tribble led off the seventh inning with a triple to right field. Senior Casey Spanish later singled to drive in Tribble, then catcher Sean Flynn continued his hot day at the plate when he singled in Spanish.

Langford had 12 points and eight rebounds in a 79-61 victory over No. 16 Oklahoma State on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. It was the final home game of the season for the No. 7 Jayhawks. Scott Reynolds/Kansan By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Never let it be said that Kansas can't play through distractions. The Jayhawks had to contend with Senior Day festivities, the loss of sophomore forward Wayne Simien for the season, and an Oklahoma State team bent on winning a share of the Big 12 Conference title. No problem. On paper, it wasn't the Jayhawks' prettiest performance. Kansas committed a season-high 23 turnovers versus 13 assists and spent all afternoon trying to shake a trio of pesky Oklahoma State guards. Seniors Victor Williams and Melvin Sanders and junior Tony Allen combined for seven steals and 52 points. The three were also a major factor in holding Kansas to 24-of-61 (39 percent) shooting. It marked just the fifth time Kansas has shot worse than 40 percent this season and the first time it had done so and won. "I don't think we've ever shot a good percentage against them," coach Roy Williams said. A low team percentage didn't keep Nick Collison from enjoying his last game at Allen Fieldhouse. SEE CRUSH ON PAGE 6B Historic play makes football gender-neutral sport Last Dec. 25, Katie Hnida broke down barriers. Hinida, a kicker on the University of New Mexico football team, became the first female to appear in a NCAA Division I-A game, attempting an extra point in the Lobos' 27-13 loss to UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl. Hnida's presence on the field made it official football is no longer a men's sport. As long as women are allowed to compete on the gridiron, football has a gender-neutral playing field. Hnida's extra-point attempt was blocked, but it will never be forgotten. Other women will certainly follow suit, citing Hnida as an inspiration. The ugly debate of Title IX is centered At many schools (including Kansas), there are more women's teams than men's teams because of football's 85 scholarships coupled with Title IX's requirement for equal opportunity in college athletics regardless of sex. Scholarship distribution is the way to assure it. around the mess created by "men's" football's 85 scholarships. Because of men's" football, other men's sports are cut right and left at big universities. But hypothetically, if a Title IX-compliant school were to give one or two football scholarships to females (and it could happen in the future), then, suddenly, it's not Title IX-compliant anymore. It's discriminating against men. SPORTS COMMENTARY Ryan Wood rwood@kansan.com SPORTS COMMENTARY So two solutions exist to the inevitable problem of women playing football: Don't count football scholarships in the Title IX equation or don't let women play football. Luckily, Hnida hasn't caused the law any problems. She is a walk-on for New Mexico and has never received a scholarship for her work. Three weeks before Hnida's historic play, CBS's 60 Minutes investigated the Title IX issue. But if she does earn a full ride for her powerful right leg next season, by rule of football being a "men's" sport, it would count as a male scholarship in the Title IX equation. Is that fair? "What, there are three genders?" she said. "Men, women and football?" Among those interviewed was Nancy Hogshead-Makar, a former Olympic swimmer and a proponent of Title IX. When asked of the idea to take football scholarships out of the equation, Hogshead-Makar laughed. Well, things changed on Dec. 25. Hnida, a female, made a once male-only sport no more. She wasn't the first woman on a Divison-I roster and she won't be the last. She simply proved that females are capable of taking the field. That being said, the 85 scholarships that go against males should be taken out of the Title IX equation, because football allows both genders the chance to compete and earn its scholarships. Otherwise, a fluctuation could exist, which would result in discrimination against males — a violation of Title IX. ■ Wood is a Lee's Summit, Mo. senior in journalism. "I was so worried about my speech that I thought I might not play well." Kirk Hinrich, on his last game in Allen Fieldhouse 28 - THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS COMMENTARY Jason Hwang jhwang@kansan.com Inside Sports Tennis team wins two, drops one For many fans, Saturday's victory over Oklahoma State was the last time they would set foot in Allen Fieldhouse until Late Night with Roy Williams in October or the first men's game of the 2003-2004 season. Women's basketball deserves recognition It would be a nice gesture of gratitude to come see the Kansas women's basketball squad in its final home game of the season. But the Fieldhouse has not shut down for the year — not yet. The team may be struggling with a 10-16 overall record, 3-12 in the Big 12, but on Wednesday, Kansas has a very good chance to notch another conference victory. The Jayhawks will face a Cyclone squad from Iowa State that is only one notch higher than them in the Big 12 standings. Kansas is also out to avenge a 72-70 defeat that Iowa State handed to it on Jan. 11 in Ames, Iowa. There are other reasons to see the Jayhawks play Wednesday, too. Not only is it an escape from studying, it's an another visit to historic Allen Fieldhouse, a place some of the fans might take for granted. It's Division I college basketball and here the best part: Come to Allen Fieldhouse with your KUID and you get in the game for free. Although it is the last home game the ladies will play this season, this team will not have senior speeches—there are no seniors on the team. There are two juniors, four sophomores, and six freshmen. Many of these freshmen were not used to losing a lot of games in high school, but this team has gone through this rebuilding year with a heavy dose of growing pains. In order to build a program, these players were forced to learn on the fly how to win as a team, even though they've been taking a beating from the Big 12 competition. Kansas has taken its bumps and bruises as a team, which is why we all should go to Allen Fieldhouse to applaud them for their hard work to bring back this program to the top, where it was in the past. Go see the Jayhawks and how they've progressed from an 0-16 conference season from a year ago. See these women play hard for their team and for the University of Kansas. See the Jayhawks leave every drop of effort on the floor for the letters in the front of the jersey: K-A-N-S-A-S. Hwang is an Overland Park junior in journalism. By Jonah Ballow jballow@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The No. 63-ranked Kansas tennis team came away with two victories in three matches over the weekend. "We came out fighting and remained positive," junior Emily Haylock said. All the hard work paid off and we came way with some good wins this weekend." Kansas's No. 1 doubles team of junior Courtney Steinbock and sophomore Paige Brown defeated Iowa's Steffi Hoch and Gloria Okino, 8-5. Junior Kristen Steinbock and Haylock secured the doubles point by beating Cassie Haas and Chelsea Glynn 8-3. The team started strong with a 4-3 victory Friday over the No. 54-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. 3, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6). Brown defeated Hoch in two sets, 7-5, 6-2, and freshman Christine Skoda batted back from being a set down to beat Dani Alexandrova, 6-7, 6-2, 6-0. Kansas and Iowa then split the singles matches. Kansas's No. 1 singles player Courtney Steinbock played a three-set thriller, only to lose to Haas, 6- Saturday, the Jayhawks came back to earn their first conference victory over the Iowa State Cyclones, 6-1. Kansas stayed with the same lineup that worked in the match against Iowa and again won the doubles point. The Jayhawks then cruised to win all but one singles match. Courtney Steinbock defeated Sabrina Evers, 6-2, 6-2. For the first time this season, Kristen Steinbock played singles at the No. 6 position and beat Suzanne Ruten, 6-2, 6-0. "Kristen competed very well this weekend and she deserves to be in the lineup now that she is healthy," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. Kristen Steinbock and Haylock were the lone Kansas victory yesterday after beating Erica Fisk and Jackie Leskovar, 8-4. Yesterday, Kansas returned home to face the No. 38-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and fell 4-3. In contrast to the previous matches of the weekend. Kansas could not get the doubles point against the Buckeyes. MONDAY,MARCH 3,2003 Brown fought to win a match with Fisk, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3. Haylock won in straight sets by defeating Leskovar, 6-2, 7-6(4). Kristen Steinbock notched her second straight singles victory of the season with a victory over Lindsey Adams, 6-2, 6-3. "Even though we didn't win today, it was a positive weekend." Waterman said. "We wanted to come away at least 2-1 over the weekend." Kansas is now 5-4 on the season and 1-1 in the Big 12 conference. The Jayhawks will host a Big 12 match-up Saturday against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Softball takes Crimson Classic title — Edited by Michelle Burhenn The hits keep coming for the Kansas softball team, and so do the victories. The Jayhawks went 4-1 in the Crimson Classic in Tuscaloosa, Ala., during the weekend, returning to Lawrence as tourney champs and keepers of a 14-4 record -the club's best start since 1992. "I am thrilled with the way the team is playing." Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said. "This team is finding a way to win close games." Noteworthy efforts from a list of familiar faces led to the impressive showing. Several Jayhawks picked up post-tourney accolades, including junior pitcher Kara Pierce who was named tournament MVP after going 3-1 while striking out 18 in 25 innings of work. Three other Jayhawks made the alltournament team. Junior outfielder Mel Wallach was one of the players. She went 5-for-16 with three homeruns and four RBIs, including the game-tying homer in the championship game against Texas-Arlington yesterday. Kansas went on to beat the Mavericks 2-1. Pierce improved her overall record to 10-3. "Mel Waliach's performance was huge this weekend, and Kara Pierce was steadier than anybody could expect," Bunge said. "It was just a great weekend for the team." Freshman catcher Melaney Torres (3-for-12, 2 runs) and freshman infielder Jessica Moppin (4-for-14, 3 runs) were also named to the squad. Kansas ended with a 1-1 split in the first day on Friday after defeating Penn State 4-2 only to lose to host No. 13 Alabama 2-1 in extra innings. Senior pitcher Kirsten Milhoan provided the Jayhawks with solid pitching support with a complete game. The victory brought Milhoan's record to 4-1. Moppin led the Jayhawks at the plate, going 2-for-2 with 2 runs. Against Alabama, Kansas let the victory go away via a wild pitch in the top of the eighth inning, allowing the game winning run for the Crimson Tide. Besides the mishap, Pierce held Alabama to just two hits. "Both Kirsten and Kara threw the ball extremely well for us today," Bunge said. "Offensively, we are not firing on all cylinders, but we're a young team and we're still growing as an offensive unit. Against Penn State, we found a way to win, but against a tough Alabama squad, we made too many mistakes and it cost us." On Saturday, Kansas showed why the previous loss was a fluke by defeating Texas-Arlington for a first time, 2-1, and then getting revenge on the Crimson Tide by beating Alabama 6-5. Pierce picked up both victories for the Jawhaws. Wallach smashed two homeruns against Alabama, including one that led to a four-run rally in the bottom of sixth, overcoming a 5-2 Crimson Tide lead. "I'm really proud of this team because these wins were a total team effort." Bunge said. "We continue to have different people step up in every game and that's what is so great about this team." The only place the team will travel to this week will be the classroom, as the squad gets ready for midterms. The softball team will resume play on March 15 in a doubleheader against New Mexico State at Stillwater, Okla. Steve Schmidt Missouri narrowly defeats Kansas State The Associated Press MANHATTAN — First came the roller-coaster ride, then the unexpected bus ride, then the star's crash to the floor. Even Missouri coach Quin Snyder expected the worst. But after the Tigers didn't fold in Saturday's 77-70 win over Kansas State — and after forward Rickey Paulding got up from a nasty spill with nothing more than a sore left wrist — Snyder looked relieved and sounded optimistic about his team's chances to continue its strong stretch run. "The whole thing lines up for us to get beat," he said. "We could have let down, but we didn't." First, an 89-68 blowout loss at Colorado knocked the Tigers out of the Top 25. Then, they turned around in Columbia on Wednesday and shocked No.3 Oklahoma 67-52. The Tigers' rare road win (they're 3-6 in opponents' gyms this season) capped a wild eight days for Missouri (18-7, 9-5 Big 12). the second half and four free throws in the closing seconds. Paulding scored 23 points, eight in the final two minutes, and Clemons' 17 points included two key 3-pointers in Fortunately, the Tigers had Paulding and point guard Rickey Clemons to pick them up. Paulding could have had even more points, but he wasn't allowed to take his own free throws after being knocked to the floor by Kansas State's Gilson DeJesus while taking a layup early in the second half. Dejesus led Kansas State with four 3-pointers and 17 points before fouling out. Clemons, playing with a broken left hand for the second straight game, didn't give up after going 0-for-4 from long range in the first half. But his two 3-pointers helped Missouri overcome a second-half run by the Wildcats, and he went 4-for-4 from the line in the final 26.8 seconds. Matt Siebrandt had 16 points for Kansas State, which led by five points as Dejesus hit two 3-pointers in a 10-0 run midway through the second half. But the Wildcats (12-15, 3-11) never led again after Clemons' 3-pointer broke a 62-all tie with just under four minutes left. "I thought today we all pretty much stepped up to the challenge," Kansas State guard Frank Richards said. "We played and played and fought and fought, but they were the ones that made the plays at the end."

This weekend, at the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships, the sophomore became the Big 12 Champion in the 600 yard run. In Friday's qualifying race, Clark set a school record with a time of 1:20.93. "I didn't know that the record was that attainable because I had never looked at it," Clark said. She said she was worried about topping her qualifying performance in the finals Saturday. However, she not only improved by running 1:20.38, but she won the race by holding off Baylor's Barbara Petrahn. "It felt really good," Clark said. "I ran really well and I didn't think that time was going to be as good, but I came out and ran my race instead of following Petrahn." By running her race, Clark became the Jayhawks' only Big 12 Indoor Champion this season. Her performance helped the women finish fourth behind Big 12 champion Texas. Clark had a busy day by also anchoring the 4x400-meter relay team that finished second. The relay team, which also included sophomore Brooklyn Hann, junior Stacy Keller and senior Shameika McField, set the school record in the race with a time of 3:41.17. The meet was held in Lincoln, Neb., and the Nebraska men's team won the Big 12 title. The Jayhawk men's team finished ninth. Junior sprinter Leo Bookman came in seventh in the 60-meter dash with a season-best time of 6.77 seconds. Bookman was disqualified from the 200-meter dash for a lane violation in his qualifying race. He was the Big 12 Indoor Champion in the 200 last year. "On the men's side, there's some things that happened that I thought we could have expected more points, and it didn't happen," Redwine said. "We just have to figure it out because those teams were better than us today." The team will compete in the Iowa State Invitational on Saturday, the last opportunity for athletes to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships March 14-15. — Edited by Ryan Wood Shane Mettlen smttenl@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter Defense key in Mizzou win Shane Mettlen COLUMBIA, Mo. — Tracey Lozier stole the ball on the first play of Saturday's Border War between the Kansas and Missouri's women's basketball teams and never looked back. The Missouri guard led the Tigers with 15 points. Lozier hit four three-pointers and was 3-of-4 from the foul line, guiding the Tigers to a 73-52 win. Lozier got it done on the defensive end as well. She recorded a game-high five steals and at times guarded high school teammate, Jayhawk Blair Waltz. Lozier and her teammates held Waltz to two "It's always fun to beat an old teammate," a grinning Lozier said after the game. "It's fun playing against Blair. She's a great player. Every game is a big game, but it's fun playing KU." points on 1-of-6 shooting in 33 minutes of play. Missouri forced Kansas into 25 turnovers and allowed only eight assists. The Tigers also held the Jayhawks to 35 percent shooting from the field while hitting 54 percent of their own shots. "I'm really proud of our team," Missouri coach Cindy Stein said. "We were really working for a complete game, and for the most part, I was really proud of the way our team handled the surges of KU." Kansas may get another shot for a Border War victory this season. If the Tigers win their last regular season game versus Texas A&M and the Jayhawks lose to Iowa State Wednesday, the two teams will meet in the first round of the Big 12 tournament in Dallas. If that scenario plays out, Kansas coach Marian Washington knows she will need a better effort from her team. "I didn't think we came ready to play." Washington said after the game. "We have to have a lot of players contribute and we just didn't have it. I'm very disappointed with the performance." - Edited by Ryan Wood Soccer team starts the season 0-1-1 The Kansas soccer team kicked off the spring season with a tie and a loss in Memphis, Tenn., on Saturday. Freshmen Caroline Smith and Kim Karfonta each scored a goal for Kansas in the opener against Kentucky that ended in a 2-2 draw. Sophomore goalkeeper Meghan Miller held the Wildcats scoreless in the first half, but Kentucky scored twice in the second with junior Sarah Gonzalez guarding the net for the Jayhawks. Kansas entered the second game of the day against Florida without forwards Rachel Gilfillan and Carmel Kaplinger, who were injured during the game with Kentucky. The Gators took advantage and easily defeated the shorthanded Jayhawks 3-0. "It was a good start for the team for the spring," assistant coach Donna Holyman said. "We just Kansas will try to make those improvements in its home opener March 12. The Jayhawks will take on the Kansas City Boys Legend Under-16 team. Kick off is set for 4 p.m. at SuperTarget Field. introduced a new system to our players this past week and they picked it up pretty well. We played two quality opponents today and we learned about some things we can improve upon." -Shane Mettlen Newton swim coach killed on way to meet SWIMMING NEWTON — The 31-year-old coach of the Newton swim team was killed in a car crash on his way to a meet in Lawrence. Most of the other swimmers had arrived in Lawrence for Saturday's meet. Jim Randall was eastbound on U.S. Highway 50 near Strong City Friday when he drove left of center and collided with an oncoming car. A 13-year-old swimmer who was with him suffered minor injuries. The group of about 15 Newton Swim Club members competed in the meet Saturday with the help of Wichita swim teams. The swim teams coached the swimmers until the afternoon, when Newton assistant coaches arrived. "The Wichita swim teams are just phenomenal," said Brett Barnhart, the father of one of the swimmers. "Whenever there's a problem, they take our kids under their wing." "He was humble," said Paul Clark, president of the Newton Swim Club. "You never saw him yell at a child. He always took the time with parents to explain things." The service for Randall likely will be in his native California, where his parents live. A memorial service is being planned in Newton.

Members of the Spirit Squad collected flowers from fans and coated James Naismith Court with them as part of the tradition before the final home game of the year Saturday. Seniors shine in home finale By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan.scripwriter Kansas' game against Oklahoma State on Saturday left Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Roy Williams wiping away tears. The misty eyes were not because of the 79-61 victory for the Jayhawks against the Cowboys. Their reaction was triggered by Collison's and Hinrich's final appearances in Jayhawk uniforms in Allen Fieldhouse. "People should appreciate Kirk and Nick for turning down the money and coming back to play college basketball," Williams said. "They should appreciate the kind of kids they are on and off the court." Like so many games in Collison's and Hinrich's Jayhawk careers, the senior duo carried the Jayhawks to victory. Collison led the Kansas attack on offense with 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting along with 16 rebounds. The senior forward also fell just one blocked shot short of a Kansas single game record with seven blocked shots during his 37 minutes of play. In 36 minutes on the court, Hinrich scored 19 points while being guarded by Cowboy Melvin Sanders. Sanders is regarded by many coaches and players as the best defender in the Big 12 Conference. With 55 seconds remaining in the game and the Jayhawks holding a secure advantage, Williams took Collison and Hinrich out of the game. The two seniors went to the bench to a standing ovation and got a surprise visitor as they sat down. Cowboy coach Eddie Sutton left his coaching box to congratulate and shake hands with Collison and Hinrich. "I haven't done that many times, but those two guys are the type of people we would like to recruit as coaches," Sutton said. "I wanted to tell them what they brought not just to Kansas, but to the whole conference." Williams said he was impressed by Sutton's gesture and relieved the officials did not take exception to Sutton leaving his bench. "If they had called a technical foul on him for being out of the box, our player would have shot it After the game Collison and Hinrich gave speeches to the crowd, which stayed glued in their seats to thank the two seniors one last time. backwards," Williams said. "When you get up there you basically want to get off the stage because there's so many people up there," Collison said. "I struggle in speech class in front of 20 people, much less 16,000 people." Hinrich, who got a haircut for the occasion at the insistence of his grandfather, had to end his speech when he thanked his family. "When I got to my family, I wasn't going to keep talking while I was up there crying, so that was it." Hinrich said. - Kansas retired the jersey of former player Howard Engleman during a halftime ceremony on Saturday. Engleman played on coach Phog Allen's teams from 1939-41. The senior forward gave the Jayhawk faithful a performance worth remembering with 24 points, on 9-of-17 shooting, and 16 rebounds. "He's one of my heroes because at least a couple of years ago he was playing golf walking and holding his bag," Williams said. Crush CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B True to his usual, unassuming demeanor, Collison downplayed his individual performance but said beating a league opponent was a good sendoff. "We got a win against a good team," he said. "It was kind of like a celebration." Along with sharing Senior Day honors with Collision before and after the game, Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich also shouldered a large share of the load against Oklahoma State. Despite making just 5-of-18 shots, Hinrich was second on the team with 19 points. Sophomore guard Keith Langford was the only other Jayhawk to score in double figures. Notes — Edited by Michelle Burhenn Langford had 12 points and eight rebounds, but said the Kansas defense sealed the victory. Junior forward Jeff Graves had 5 points and 10 rebounds, but his most important stat may have been the three fouls that he didn't get, allowing him to stay in the game and defend Oklahoma State's big men. Graves helped hold Cowboy junior forward Ivan McFarlin and senior forward Andre Williams to a combined 7 points. Both Williams and McFarlin eventually fouled out, while Graves was able to play 24 minutes without getting into foul trouble. "Since Wayne's out now," he said, "I'm just really trying to step up my game." "Everyone talks about how good Oklahoma's defense is and how good Oklahoma State's defense is," Langford said. "We take pride in our defense, too." - Edited by Ryan Wood Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Earlier in the day, Flynn hit a home run, his second on the season. The Blue Raiders, though, added a run in the bottom of the seventh off reliever Brandon Johnson, who suffered the loss for Kansas. Kansas bounced back from the defeat by downing David Lipscomb 10-4 on Saturday. Junior Ryan Baty and senior Kevin Wheeler hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning, and Kansas would add three more runs in the frame, taking a commanding 5-0 lead in the first and never looking back. Junior Jake Kauzlarich and Spanish each also hit a home run in the game. It was Kauzlarich's first of the season and Spanish's second. "Right now, I am just relaxing at the plate, and waiting for a good pitch to hit," Spanish said. "I'm trying to get on base and let my teammates behind me in the batting order do things offensively." Senior Pat Holmes picked up the win, allowing four runs on just three hits. "We played an SEC team on the road and played against a first round draft pick," Price said. "It was a big win for us." Vanderbilt pitcher Jeremy Sowers was the 20th pick in the 2002 Major League Baseball draft. He did collect a career-high 12 strikeouts but could not manage to pick up the victory. Yesterday, Kansas outlasted Vanderbilt 4-2, in a victory Price said was a big one. Wheeler had another solid day at the plate going 2-for-4 including two clutch base hits. Tribble added another hit in the third game of the series, extending his hitting streak to 17 games, just two shy of the school record held by Justin Headly, set in 1996. "Watching Matt Tribble over these first 17 games has been real special," Price said. "He is swinging the bat real well so far this season." Women CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B The Jayhawks trailed 18-4 going into a timeout with 11:51 left in the first half. After the timeout, Kansas went on an 11-2 run to pull within five, but Missouri answered with a 14-4 run of its own to head into the half with a 34-19 lead. Kansas was outscored 15-4 in the first six minutes of the second half, and despite a late surge, could not overcome a deficit that got as large as 27 points at 51-24. "I thought that they set the tempo and we got caught up with it instead of us taking our time and trying to do what we wanted to do," coach Marian Washington said. Kansas was led by Ransburg, whose 17 points and 13 rebounds amounted to her sixth double-double of the season. Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras scored 11 points, with nine of them coming in the second half. Freshman guard Erica Hallman came off the bench to finish with 11 points as well. The layhawks played in front of their biggest crowd of the year last Wednesday at Kansas State, with 10,702 fans in Bramlage Coliseum. Saturday's crowd of 3,451 in Missouri's Hearnes Center may not have been as large, but it was just as hostile. "You gotta keep your mind on the game," Burras said. "You can't worry about the crowd." The defeat at Missouri was the final regular-season road game for Kansas. The Jayhawks finished 2-6 in conference play away from home and 5-8 overall on the road. Kansas will finish its regular season at home Wednesday against Iowa State. "I can tell you this — at this time of the year, I had hoped that we'd be playing better, but we've been on the road for two games," Washington said. "We'll have a chance to be at home and see where we really are." — Edited by Lindsay Hanson MASS.

Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., will also feature drink specials and prize giveaways. "We will be having a DJ and will be giving away a trip to New Orleans," said Mike Logan, general manager. "We are going to have some crazy games and contests." Logan said tickets were $5 and were available at the door. Matt Sullivan, general manager at the Replay Lounge. 946 Massachusetts St.. said they would have three bands, including Esoteric, Weedeater, and Earth Ride, play at the club. "Our plans are top secret," Sullivan said. "We will have phat specials and a limited number of beads.

Traditionally, it is the last day for Christians to indulge or overindulge before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras has been a time of extravagant fun for European Christians. Some people believe Mardi Gras celebrations have their source in the wild springtime orgies of the ancient Romans. Edited by Melissa Hermreck BROADWAY MUSEUM Brandon Baker/Kansan Biographers of Zora Neale Hurston, Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Valerie Boyd, converse about the author. The lecture was held yesterday at the Malott room in the Kansas Union and kicked off Women's History Month at the University of Kansas. Hemenway and Boyd discussed the differences in writing a book about the same person from two different racial and gender perspectives. Chancellor talks of admired writer Chancellor Robert Hemenway shared one of his literary interests yesterday. By Jessica Hood jhood@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Hemenway participated in a "Conversation about Zora Neale Hurston" with Valerie Boyd. The lecture was a kick off for Women's History Month at the University of Kansas. Hemenway wrote a 1977 biography about Hurston for his doctoral dissertation. Boyd also authored a biography on Hurston, which was released in January. Boyd's biography on Hurston, Wrapped in Rainbows, is the first new biography on Hurston in 25 years. Boyd said it was Hemenway who encouraged her to research Hurston. "I felt my inner calling and was also scared," said Boyd. In 1994, Hemenway was critiquing his own work on Hurston at the annual Eatonville, Fla., festival, which celebrates Hurston's life and work, and Boyd was in attendance. Hemenway said in his speech that it was time for a black woman to research Hurston. Boyd said she felt sure that Hemenway was talking to her. During their conversation, Hemenway and Boyd discussed the different ways they researched their books and how the books were received by the public. "Biography is different now than in the '70s." Boyd said. "He set out to write an academic, scholarly book; I wanted to paint an intimate portrait of her." Hemenway was introduced to Hurston when he read Their Eyes Were Watching God in preparation for a class on black culture he was going to teach at the University of Kentucky. After reading the book, Hemenway said he wanted to know more about Hurston. He started his biography about Hurston in 1971. When Boyd, the arts editor for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, let Hemenway know she was writing a biography about Hurston, Hemenway was pleased. "I felt almost immediately here's a person that would do Zora justice," Hemenway said. "I traveled all around the country in a pickup camper," said Hemenway. "I covered 10,000 miles in a year doing research." PLAYING AROUND WITH WAR —Edited by Melissa Hermeck STO Brandon Baker/Kansan THE DANCE THEATER Top Right: Sean Tucker, Hutchinson senior, complains about the apparent results of lack of sex during the reading of Lysistrata at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries last night. Above: Penny Weiner, Topeka resident; Beth Allin, Shawnee senior; and Phil Vocasek, Dodge City senior, recite Lysistrata as part of a world-wide theater event for peace. Lysistrata was performed to give a humourous outlook on not going to war. Greek play uses comedy in hopes of opening discussion on possible war By Cal Creek ccreek@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A group of Greek women refused sex to their male counterparts last night in protest of the coming war. Granted, the sex strike was part of the Greek play Lysistrata and was performed last night by a group of KU students and Lawrence residents at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave. "I think the message of the play is very clear," said Katie Wolff, Shawnee junior and play director. "There are other ways to solve problems other than with just violence, especially in these times now." Wolff said the play had special significance because a friend called her Sunday night to tell her that he was being deployed.

For John Tibbetts, associate professor of theater and film at the University of Kansas, the storytelling in Robert Shumann's music has kept him intrigued for the majority of his life. "The World of Robert Shumann" kicked off last night on Kansas Public Radio. Tibbetts arranged the 13-week radio series, which will run at 8 p.m. every Monday. He has spent more than 15 years compiling the interviews, stories, and music that will make up the documentary series. "When I was a kid, I heard this wonderful music by a guy named Robert Shumann," he said. "I felt immediately impelled to investigate this. We all have interests in our life that we pursue beyond just the event. We go in search for it." "This music is saying the same things as today's music questioning authority, venting anger and love." John Tibbett associate professor of theater and film Robert Shumann was a 19th-century German composer who lived from 1810-1856. Late in life he became mentally ill and spent his last two years in a mental asylum. "Tragedy can be as significant and interesting as success in life," Tibbetts said. "There are lots of mysteries about him, and we're always in love with mystery." Tibbetts said Shumman's music had been on his mind since he first heard it. "I'm trying to answer the same questions I had, maybe subconsciously, as a kid," he said. "It has been a real learning experience for me, I just hope other people will find it as interesting." Tibbett's said students would enjoy Shumann's music as long as they kept an open mind.

His interest in the composer was sparked at the age of 16 when he heard Schumann's music for the first year. Tibbetts' project, which began 15 years ago, dissects Schumann's music from the Romantic period, or the first half of the 19th century. --- TUESDAY MARCH 4 2009 A = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Inside Front TUESDAY,MARCH4,2003 News briefs CAMPUS Pulitzer Prize winner speaks today on public policy Bestselling author and editor-at large of Smart Money Magazine will speak to University of Kansas students today, James B.

NATION Students join workers in five-day Yale strike NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Picket lines were set up across the Yale University campus yesterday as unions representing some 5,000 service workers kicked off a five-day strike to protest deadlocked contract talks. Some students joined the picket lines, including freshman Alan Kennedy-Shaffer, who worked parttime at a dining hall. He said he sympathized with those who relied on the food service work to feed their own families. All but one campus dining hall was closed because of the walkout. Some professors scheduled classes in churches and coffee shops so students would not have to cross picket lines. During the walkout managers will have to do work such as running the university's power plant and answering telephones. They were joined by several hundred graduate students, whose union was not recognized by the university.

Until last night the group had heard little opposition to its plan to operate a shelter that accepts homeless clients if they have been drinking. But during a meeting of Lawrence Open Shelter Inc., where members of the Oread neighborhood were invited to voice their concerns, that opposition became clear. "My concern is that with an open shelter you're opening the community to some pretty dangerous problems," said Jim Schneider, a social worker who owns and rents properties in the Oread neighborhood. "Once you operate this shelter for a year the homeless population will go up, and I have a concern for the community once these people leave in the morning," Schneider said. Board president Tom Wright opened the meeting by stating the board's intention to fit the shelter in the Oread neighborhood comfortably, without any problems. "We want to work together to make sure it's a smooth operation that doesn't detract from the neighborhood around the shet- ter." Wright said. Other agencies in the Oread neighborhood offer services to Lawrence's homeless population. It's the reputation of the people who use those services that has Oread residents worried about an increasing homeless population. The residents said loitering and leaving trash were some of the problems in the neighborhood. Representatives from Lawrence Open Shelter shared those concerns for the neighborhood around the shelter, said vice-president Liz Smith, a graduate student in social welfare. Last summer three clients had privileges revoked at the open shelter at St. John's Catholic School for their actions in the neighborhood around the shelter. Those punishments did little to quell the anxiety of the proposed shelter's Oread neighbors, whose goals were simple, said neighborhood association member and former mayor, Marci Francisco. "We want to figure out how we can offer services to the people who need them and still maintain the strength of the neighborhood." Francisco said. Residents and homeless advocates can voice their concerns tomorrow when Lawrence Open Shelter Inc. presents its site plan to the City-County Planning Commission. The planning commission proposals should be ready for the city commission's approval in a couple of weeks. Edited by Erin Chapman Workshop discusses ID theft prevention By Erin Ohm eohm@kansan.com Kansan staff writer To prevent identity theft, individuals must take responsibility for protecting their personal information. Lauren Reinhold, staff attorney at Legal Services for Students, recommended that students make a copy of the contents of their wallets to have a record of everything in their wallet if it were ever stolen. Legal services advised about 25 students and community members last night on how to prevent identity theft and what to do if they found suspicious activity in their accounts. "We don't want to scare everyone into thinking that every time your information is put into a computer, it might be hacked," said Michele Kessler, associate director of Legal Services for Students. "But it could happen." Kessler said identity theft was increasing in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission received about 380,000 reports of identity theft in 2002, compared to 220,000 reports in 2001. Reinhold said people whose driver's licenses listed their social security number should get a new license without the number. She said it was one less avenue for someone to access personal identification information. Presenters also addressed what steps should be taken by international students whose information was taken from a University of Kansas database in January. Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services for Students, said her office had received a number of calls and e-mails from concerned students since a hacker broke into the University database and took information on more than 1,500 international students. Kessler said legal services decided to sponsor the workshop to provide information from a student organization that students would trust. She said the University's identity theft Web site did not make it clear to international students that they did not have to pay to get a credit report. Anyone could receive a free credit report when he put a fraud alert on his account, Kessler said. She and the other attorneys from legal services advised international students to send letters to the three credit reporting agencies in the United States to report the theft of their information. Requesting a credit report without putting a fraud alert on an account or without having been denied credit can cost anywhere from $9 to $35 from the three agency Web sites listed at www.ku.edu/identity. Kessler said despite the cost of ordering a credit report, an annual or biannual credit history check was essential to insure the information was accurate. Masako Sato, a graduate student from Japan, attended the session because she accidentally deleted the e-mail sent by the University alerting international students of the database hacking. Sato said she had not taken action because she lost the e-mail but wanted to do something to protect her information before she graduated. Legal services staff handed out detailed packets of information outlining step-by-step instructions for international students as well as general guidelines to guard against identity theft. —Edited by Andrew Ward By Nicole Roche nroche@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Center offers survey on rental properties Renters now have the opportunity to offer fellow students recommendations or warnings about potential landlords. The off-campus living resource center is surveying students today and tomorrow to get feedback about local landlords and rental agencies. Students can fill out surveys at the Kansas Union, Wescoe Beach and the center's Web site, www.ku.edu/ -ocrcr. "He was just a great guy and a great landlord," Pierron said. "I want other students to be able to have a good experience like that." The resource center, which officially opened in November, is a place where students can find information about apartments and landlords and search for roommates. Sam Pierron, director of the center, said the survey's results would help point students toward the ideal living arrangement. He said his relationship with a former landlord was one reason he became involved with the center. Pierron said he would post the survey's preliminary results on the Web site Monday. The center was part of the Kansas Union's recent renovations and is located on the fourth floor in the Organizations and Leadership Office. Student Senate provided funding for the center from the Senate Reserve Account, including the initial construction cost of $17,000, said Aaron Jacobs, off-campus senator. Jacobs said the reserve account contained leftover money from previously allocated funds. Student Senate provided the center with $13,000 this year and $10,000 next year for operation costs, Jacobs said. Pierron said the center hadn't seen much traffic in previous months, but he expected more students to be apartment hunting in the near future. Travis Workman, Lecompton freshman, said he was thinking about renting his first apartment, but he hadn't begun the search. Workman said the resource center sounded like a good idea for students who were new to the off-campus experience. "I know a lot of people who have had horror stories," he said, "so I'd definitely use the resource center." Pierron said his job gave him the opportunity to work with students on a personal level. One afternoon, International Student Services called him with a problem. An international student had just flown in from Iran with his two children, and they needed a place to live—that day. Pierron said the student came in and they were able to find him an apartment at Eddingham Place, 1501 Eddingham Drive. "The University doesn't have the time and resources to find housing for everyone," Pierron said. "That's one of the reasons we exist."

One week ago, the Kansas Regents suggested raising the cost of a credit hour from $77.50 to $160.25 by 2006. Budget cuts continue with no end in sight. Chancellor Robert Hemenway warned last December: "If there is further erosion of our base budget, if no new state funds are provided, and if our faculty and staff don't see a salary increase, frankly, the results then will be much more dire." As the cuts begin to run together and sound the same, it becomes difficult to ignore the effects of a faltering economy on the University's bottom line. As Hemenway cautions, supporting not only the expansion of the University but fair wages for its employees are crucial to the University's success. The recent tuition increases have sparked a debate central to Hemenway's portent. Classified workers, whose pay is determined by the state's pay scale and not by the University's, are at the center of the debate. There are roughly 1,600 classified employees at the University performing jobs integral to its daily functioning. Unfortunately, nearly 160 classified employees' salaries fall below the federal poverty line for a family of four. Even during the economic boom of the '90s, classified workers' pay lagged behind many other University employees'. The question is not whether something should be done, but how it should be done. Recent proposals call for a departure from the state civil service system. The Classified System Alternative, as it's called, would not only allow for more flexibility in University hiring and salaries, but also shift more control from the state to the University. The problem with the system alternative is it simply places too much trust in the hands of an administration that's regularly forced to wrestle with budget cuts. There's a danger in placing all salary responsibility in the hands of the University. For instance, while there are nearly 1,600 KU classified workers, there are about 5,000 in the Board of Regents system. The pressure exerted by the Regents' 5,000 classified employees on the Legislature acts as a check on salaries for other less concentrated and less organized state employees. This pressure would all but disappear if Legislature no longer answered to nearly 5,000 employees. It suggests that state classified workers who are not employed by state universities are less deserving of compensation—a contention that undercuts the entire premise of fair wages. Likewise, as state budget cuts have demonstrated, the more disconnected the Legislature is from University decisions, the more blame can be placed in Lawrence rather than in Topeka. It's naive to assume that, despite current assurances of raises, another budget crisis won't result in more layoffs. In fact, during the past five years, during increases in administration salaries and positions, 24 classified positions were cut. This was without the prospect of salary increases. There is no reason to assume that classified jobs would become smaller targets among future cuts. But something must be done. The wage gap between the highest- and lowest-paid employees here is becoming unconscionable, particularly when the lower end of that scale dips below the poverty line. Instead of relying on the University to set salaries, the administration should be able to supplement classified employees' base salaries. A solution that allows for flexibility while maintaining job security should be the real goal. Greg Holmquist for the editorial board STINSON'S VIEW STINSON · UNIVERSITY DAILY HANCK © 2003 DON'T WORKY STUDENTS, BOB HEMENNAY IS LOBBYING THE LEGISLATURE! KU FIRST! 2001 2002 2003 2004 EDUCATION FUNDING Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan PERSPECTIVE Watch local film, 'C.S.A.,' to see parallels of racial intolerance After watching C.S.A. last weekend, I started wondering just how far America has come in being tolerant of cultural differences. If you haven't heard, C.S.A., which stands for Confederate States of America, is a faux-documentary directed by KU film professor Kevin Willmott about what America would be like if the South had won the Civil War. And let me tell you, that version of America is not pretty. At the question-and-answer session at the end of the film, one thing that struck me was when a man said that, despite the absurd changes in history and blatant examples of racism, the film was not that far from reality. We think we live in a tolerant world, but really we've just closed our eyes to want we don't want to see. There is still conflict between Jews and Palestinians, North Koreans and South Koreans, blacks and whites, Americans and everybody else, gays and straights, Northerners and Southerners, vegetarians and meat eaters, Greeks and nongreeks, Catholics and Protestants. East Coast and West Coast, pro-war supporters and anti-war supporters, pro-choice supporters and anti-abortionists, women versus Augusta National and the list goes on. These conflicts aren't just petty disagreements. These are conflicts that lead to severe animosity, protests, violence and even death every day. When you go to the South, the confederate flag is as prominent as the American flag. The people brandishing the flag will give you the line, "It represents the South." COMMENTARY --- Eric Borja opinion@kansan.com Yeah, and my middle finger directed at them means "hello." Society right now is like that old grandpa or crazy uncle whom a lot of people have who still thinks you should marry someone from your own race and that one race is better than the other. We brush it off by saying "he doesn't know any better" or "that's just the way he was raised." At fraternities and sororities every semester there are "gangsta" theme parties where the participants dress up like rappers and people from the "ghetto." They wear FUBU, do-rags, take gold chains and "wife beaters" and throw up "West side" and peace signs to the party pic photographers. I've seen it here at our University. I don't see minority-based fraternities having "white suburbia" parties where they pull up in SUVs listening to Eminem dressed in New Balances, a North Face fleece and a polo shirt. Intolerance is just more subdued and hidden these days. It is expressed in the mailing of anthrax, graffiti, affirmative action, racial profiling by the police, the lack of minorities in coaching, academic tacilities, movies, TV, and politics and the fact that homosexuals can't get married in most states. And because Black History Month has ended, I'm wondering if we really learned anything or took time to appreciate the numerous contributions locally and nationally that African Americans have made. I'd say I acknowledged most of the black history tributes, but I am betting most people around here really didn't learn that much. The many newspaper articles and special programming about the African-American culture and history abruptly came to an end Saturday and Americans went along their merry ways knowing that they recognized a race that they have slighted in the worst ways possible with the shortest month of the year. The problem with tolerance, though, is that it is impossible to attain. No matter how idealistic we become about looking past someone's appearance or beliefs and just seeing a person, someone's appearance and beliefs make up who that person is. Another aspect of tolerance is there is an inherent assumption that one's group, belief or lifestyle is superior to another. Like the people who believe they are 100 percent tolerant of everyone in the world believe they are better than those who hold prejudices. We all just need to realize that at the end of day, we are all equal pains in the ass. Borja is a Springfield, Mo., senior in journalism.

Female oppression not present in United States There are many places around the world where women are genuinely oppressed;the United States is not one of them. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, feminist groups persist in believing that sexism and the patriarchy are ever-present dark forces in American society and that we are in danger of "going back." As Dinesh D'Souza argues in Letters to a Young Conservative, advances in technology, not second-wave feminism and the railings of Betty, Gloria and their cohorts, went a lot further to enable women to be more than just wives and mothers. This technology, from the light bulb to the birth control pill, was, with few exceptions, invented by white males, e.g. "the patriarchy." How odd that the patriarchy, so intent on subjugating women, wound up giving them the tools to cast off the chains of their oppression. To be sure, there were negative attitudes toward women, and we are all glad to be rid of them. Women, however, have done just as much to perpetuate such negative stereotypes as "women hastered sorority girls have demonstrated more of a penchant for rational thought. I recently attended Gloria Steinem's lecture in the Lied Center to hear from one of the most prominent feminist voices of the 20th century. Steinem troted out the same tiresome musings on the patriarchy and the oft-repeated whopper that "women earn 70 cents to a man's dollar." This statistic is misleading because it compares all women to all men, ignoring the fact that women tend to enter professions such as nursing and elementary education, which have low starting salaries and little opportunity for advancement. Additionally, women are more likely to care for small children and the elderly, thus placing regular hours and flexibility over career advancement. My female physician in Wichita works only part time in order to free up time for family obligations. Well, great, but women don't get equal pay for less work. If it is really true that women are systematically paid less than women, why aren't corporations rushing out to hire women in order to cut their overheads? As a little experiment on Yahoo, I typed in the query "violence against women." It returned an impressive 352,000 queries. In contrast, "violence against men" returned a measly 3,010 queries. Another topic Steinem touched on was violence against women. This seems reasonable enough, as we can all agree that rape and domestic abuse are a real problem. Certainly no reasonable person is arguing in favor of violence against women. However, this obsessive focus on violence against women obscures the overwhelming majority of homicide, battery and suicide victims are male — not that the amount of writing or discussion on the subject reflects this. This is similar to the whole breast cancer-prostate cancer paradigm. Breast cancer receives infinitely more research dollars and attention (as well as chic pink ribbons), although the number of prostate cancer cases actually exceeds the number of breast cancer cases -- 198,100 versus 192,200. Despite this, a poll conducted by the Lifetime Television Network among its viewers cited "finding a cure for breast cancer" as one of the most important issues facing America. American women are blessed with an incredible range of opportunities and privileges. The greatest barrier to female achievement in this society is individual merit and reality. To persist in telling women they are oppressed is doing no one a favor, least of all women themselves. To blame one's failure or unhappiness on outside forces may be comforting psychologically, but just as the poor student who blames his lousy academic record on his instructors, it will do little in terms of encouraging behavior that will improve his station. Women would do well to see modern feminism for what it is: a bitter philosophy of victimology, which insists on viewing everything through a prism of gender.

TUESDAY,MARCH 4,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A Nationals next for mock trial team By Kelley Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas mock trial team is headed to nationals after taking second place at regionals in Topeka, its best showing ever. The American Mock Trial Association National Championship will be held April 4 to 6 in Des Moines, Iowa. Members of the mock trial team said they were eager to compete at the national level. Last year, the team competed in nationals and placed ninth out of 64 teams. During the team's sixyear existence, it has gone to nationals every year but one. The nine-member team received the case it would argue this season in August. The mock trial members used facts, evidence and witness arguments sent with the case to construct its arguments for competitions. Yesterday, the team received changes to the case more facts and witnesses which are given to add challenges for the teams before the competition. Branden Bell, mock trial team coach, said he was impressed with the team's abilities. Bell is a first-year law student from Broken Arrow, Okla., and participated on the mock trial team for three years during his undergraduate studies. "They are a really talented group of people." Bell said. "They are probably the most talented team I've seen." Bell attributed their success to their commitment and hard work. The team practices two to four hours, twice a week. Ryan Faulconer, Colorado Springs, Colo., junior, is the president of the mock trial team. The six different competitions the team has participated in gave the team great opportunities to practice and improve, Faulconer said. One of the best memories from this season was placing first in its division at the Loras College Invitational tournament in Dubuque, Iowa. "Out of all the tournaments that one was the most competitive and prestigious," Faulconer said. "We had never done that well." Participating in the mock trial team gave law students an edge, Bell said. Trial work was not allowed for first-year law students, and Bell said he was glad he was able to learn so much about the courtroom before going to law school. "It provides a valuable learning experience for undergraduate students and enhances their understanding of our legal system," McAllister said. Steve McAllister, dean of the law school, is the adviser for the mock trial team and said the law school was supportive of the mock trial team. Looking toward the national competition, Faulconer said the team would do well. "I think we're capable of winning the whole thing," Faulconer said.

Kansas Union voices out there," Wolff said. Lysistrata CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A According to a press release from Wolff, the students read the play to let the Bush Administration know that they oppose a possible war on Iraq, provide humorous introduction to community dialogue and to raise money for organizations that work for peace and human rights. The Rev Thad Holcombe, Ecumenical Christian Ministry minister, said he enjoyed the play. "There's a timeless quality to the issue of peace," Holcombe said. "If anything, peacemaking needs imagination." Holcombe appreciated the theatrical symbolism. Before the play began. Wolff told the audience that the reading paralleled 1,009 other readings yesterday, taking place in 59 countries and all 50 states. The project was founded by Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower, two New York actors. Wolff heard about the project about a month ago in a story on National Public Radio. She went online to the project's Web site and found that no one from Lawrence was involved. Woolf sent out e-mails and asked her friends for help, eventually forming a cast of eight members. She found an anonymous translation online and condensed it so that the audience would not become complacent or bored. The Greek playwright Aristophanes wrote the play in 411 B.C. It presents the tale of a group of women from opposing states who unite to end the Peloponnesian War. They take over the Acropolis, the building where the public keeps its fund, and refuse to sleep with any men until the men agree to stop fighting and work toward peace. Beth Allin, Shawnee senior, played the lead role of Lysistrata. She said she had a great time performing. Though she was not involved in theater she chose to do the play to help out Wolff, a personal friend. "I think it's fantastic to have people come together with a singular message and speak out on such a broad scale," Allin said. The eight-member cast and director presented the play in a simple format. All actors dressed only in black, and there were only a handful of props, one bucket, a bottle of water, a Marilyn Monroe cutout and four balloons that served as phallic symbols for the frustrated male characters. The set was also simple, there were four signs attached above the stage and to the walls surrounding it that read : "Democracy Stinks Bring Back the Tyrants"; "Booty Boycott"; "Stop the Peloponnesian War" and "Girl Power". The 29-member audience reacted to the play with laughs and cheers for the women pursuing peace. Before the play began, the audience was separated into two sides of the floor, women sat to the left and men to the right. Wolff said she did this to play off gender tensions that are in the play. "I thought it was a very comical way to get across a good cause for peace," said David Mitchell, Hays graduate student. Mitchell said he opposed unilateral war and that the United States government should do nothing regarding Iraq without the United Nation's support. He thought that a real-life application of a sex strike would have some effect if it was a full-scale effort by all the women of the globe. - Edited by Erin Chapman Tibbets CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A venting anger and love," he said.

"It's well thought-out and well-focused." said Tibbetts had spent long hours interviewing famous musicians. Hunter said Kansas Public Radio employees could be skeptical when people pitched show ideas because few of them had detailed plans. "But John spelled it out," he said.

SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B TUESDAY,MARCH 4,2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY P. R. HENRIQUE Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Fieldhouse experience rejuvenates love of game By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter In my nearly 21 years on this earth, sports have been my life. To get even more particular, basketball has been my life. Over the years, my love for the sport has grown, but yesterday may have provided me with my greatest experience with the game. I made my way down to Allen Fieldhouse yesterday in the late afternoon with the original intent of interviewing some of the women's basketball players about their upcoming game against Iowa State. Unfortunately, practice ended a little earlier than expected, and I made the trip for what I thought was nothing. With the Fieldhouse practically empty, I joined a couple of the guys from media relations to go shoot some hoops. After about 10 minutes, the other guys left to either go home or back to their offices, leaving me on my own with one ball, two baskets and the ghosts of basketball greatness. To understand where I'm coming from, you have to understand me a little bit. KANSAS 33 10 I grew up as a lifelong Michigan fan. When coming to Kansas, I never appreciated the tradition of Kansas basketball, and my status as a fan had all but dwindled to being a critic. My experience as a journalist and the rumors afloat over the past three years about those in the Kansas basketball program had changed my outlook on sports from being a spectator to a critical snob. Basically, I had been involuntarily stripped of my innocence as a fan. Kansas basketball, until yesterday, had never really meant much to me other than going to watch the Jayhawks play from the student section or covering games and not being allowed to be a fan. As I began to shoot, all of the reasons why I used to love basketball came rushing back to me. As I dribbled the ball through my legs and started to hit some shots, I was suddenly back to being an 11-year-old kid on the driveway pretending to be Michigan legend Jalen Rose. I could see in front of my old best friend, Adam Goldkind, who would always beat me at one-on-one. When I was left to myself in the house that Phog Allen built, I grabbed the ball at center court and just looked around. It was like the first time I saw Soldier Field or Wrigley Field with my dad. It makes you feel so insignificant in the world, but as though you are in the presence of greatness. I hit 3-pointers from the same spots where Paul Pierce did. I brought the ball up across the same half-court line as Jacque Vaughn. I hit hook shots in the same places on the floor as Wilt Chamberlain had. It was mv 45 minutes in heaven. Before I knew it, I could feel perspiration going through to my collared shirt. I looked at the clock and saw that my deadline at the Kansan was nearing, but none of that mattered. Kansas sophomore guard Aaron Miles and junior forward Bryant Nash put the defensive pressure on Texas Tech senior guard Will Chavis. Kansas defeated Texas Tech 65-56 last night at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas. Jayhawks raid Raiders There will be many high points of my life. Eventually I will be married and settle down with my family in a nice suburban home, hopefully with a job that doesn't make me dread heading to work everyday. No matter what joys lie in my future, nothing will bring the sensation as seeing one of my long jump shots hit nothing but the bottom of the net at Allen Fieldhouse. Jaime Tomás Aquilar/Texas Tech University Daily SEE GREENE ON PAGE 6B By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter LUBBOCK, Texas - It's official. Kansas is king of the Big 12 Conference once again. Whether the Jayhawks rule solo or bv committee remains to be seen. Kansas earned a share of the title yesterday, on the virtue of its 13th league victory, a 65-56 triumph against Texas Tech (16-10 overall, 6-9 conference). Entering the game, Oklahoma and Texas trailed No. 6 Kansas (23-6, 13-2) by one game and needed the Jayhawks to lose one of their final two league games — against the Red Raiders last night or in Missouri on Sunday — for a shot at the crown. But after a slump-busting performance by Kansas sophomore guard Keith Langford, that shot looks longer than ever. Heckled by fans from his home-state throughout the game, Langford was nearly perfect in the first half, draining seven of nine shots, leading all scorers with 14 points in the first 20 minutes. "Little do they know," Langford said of the crowd's taunting. "It gets me motivated." In the second half, he picked up where he left off, opening with two of the Jayhawks' first three baskets. His game-high 20 points were the most he's scored since he dropped 27 on Arizona. Despite Langford's efforts, the Jayhawks could not build a comfortable lead over the Red Raiders. Kansas demolished Tech 90-50 last year in the Big 12 Tournament, but the Red Raiders refused to let the Jayhawks embarrass them in their final home game. When the Red Raiders sliced the Jayhawks' lead to 7 points with eight minutes to play, Kansas coach Roy Williams knew just what his team needed. "I told Steve Robinson 'We need Kirk to make a three-pointer,'" he said. Seconds later, Hinrich nailed the long-range shot, giving Kansas a 10-point advantage and ending a 6-2 Tech run. The Red Raiders took one more shot at the Jayhawks, but Hinrich had taken the momentum from their charge. After the game, Hinrich said he would hold off on a championship celebration for a while longer. "We're going to wait until Sunday," he said. "We want the rings. We don't want to share them with anybody."

If there are any former Jayhawks who we haven't included, email requests to rgreene@kansan.com. Because of the amount of responses, we will run two updates per week. Paul Pierce — Boston Celtics In two of the Celtics'fourgames this week, Pierce was relegated to the bench because of injury. After struggling from the field early in the BOSTON CELTICS week, Pierce sat both of the Celtics' back-to-back games with Toronto. Pierce's condition is being reevaluated on a day-to-day basis. Drew Gooden — Orlando Magic Drew's name has resurfaced in discussions of who should be Rookie of the Year, especially since his trade to Orlando. In five Orlando MGSC games with the Magic. Gooden has recorded four double-doubles. The highlight of Gooden's rookie season came Friday night in a double-overtime loss to the Knicks. Gooden posted 20 points, 18 rebounds and three blocked shots. Those 20 points included a layup late in regulation to send the game to overtime. Jacque Vaughn — Orlando Magic The Magicare 4-1 since their deadline trade with Memphis. Vaughn is not scoring, but he's doing what coach Doc Rivers has asked of him — Orlando Magic dish the ball and don't turn it over. Vaughn averaged five assists per game in three games this week. Raef LaFrentz — Dallas Mavericks LaFrentz's turbulent week was a perfect example of the inconsistency that has plagued him all year. He went scoreless on Tuesday in a loss at Orlando but bounced back with 14 points and eight IMAGERACHS rebounds in Thursday's loss to Sacramento. LaFrentz then fouled out Saturday after only 15 minutes on the floor in a victory over Memphis. Greg Ostertag—Utah Jazz Ostertag had a solid week, but the Jazz limped to a 1-3 record. Ostertag posted back-to-back 10-rebound performances in road losses on Monday, Feb. 24, and Wednesday. He then had 7 points, six rebounds and seven blocked shots in Sunday's dramatic last-second win at New Jersey. Danny Manning — Detroit Pistons JAZZ Manning saw his only action of the Manning saw his only action on the week in Sunday's loss at Portland, scoring 4 points in eight minutes on the floor. The Pistons have lost a seasonhigh seven straight games as they head back home after a West-Coast road trip. PISTONS Scot Pollard — Sacramento Kings Did not play (broken right hand) Billy Thomas, guard, 1995-1998 Reader Requests Thomas graduated from Kansas as the school's most prolific three-point shooter of all-time. His records were eventually broken by Jeff Boschee, but Thomas is still a fan-favorite. Since college, Billy has seen playing stints just about everywhere. Thomas has played professionally in the Philippines and Scooter Barry, guard, 1985-1988 Argentina. He also played in Salina with the Kansas Cagerz. This past summer, Thomas played with the New Jersey Nets in the Shaw's Pro Summer League but failed to make the regular season roster. Thomas is still close to capturing his NBA dream, as he is playing in the National Basketball Developmental League with the Greenville Groove in South Carolina. Thomas is the Groove's leading scorer, averaging 14.5 points per game. Most recently, Thomas scored 13 points to lead the Groove to a 73-70 win against Fayetteville on Saturday. Barry was a member of the Jayhawks' 1988 national championship team, and his lineage is enough to make him notable. Barry is the son of former NBA great Rick Barry, and his three brothers: Brent, Drew and Jon, have all made the NBA. After averaging 6.3 points per game as a senior, Barry's shot at the NBA with the Boston Celtics never panned out. The desire for competition has kept Barry going, having played on multiple occasions with the Continental Basketball Association in the United States and overseas in France, Germany and Spain. Barry is in his second season with Pitch Cholet Basket in France. Barry was named a league all-star this season; he is averaging 12.8 points per game. His average is down from the 16.7 of last year. 13 TUESDAY, MARCH 4.20 There are 52 Mondays in a year.I imagine you're you're pretty used to Monday.It comes after Sunday every week." Texas Tech coach Bob Knight on whether Big Monday games are a big deal 2B = THEUNIVERSITYDAILYKANSAN Inside Sports SPORTS COMMENTARY Joey Berlin jberlin@kansan.com Simien pushed too hard to get back in game "I think he was thinking about the team when he made the decision to try to play," Williams said in a press conference last week. After Simien was first injured in a game against University of Missouri—Kansas City on Jan. 4, Williams, Simien and the Kansas staff seemed to be treating the injury with the care it deserved. Simien rested, took a few practice shots before each game and did some hard grimacing. On Feb. 3, Williams released a statement saying, "When Wayne feels comfortable and the doctors feel comfortable, Wayne will begin playing again." Considerate of him, but the team didn't need Simien's help yet. The Jayhawks had gone 9-2 in his absence, and one of those losses was against topranked Arizona. His first two games back, wins over Iowa State and Colorado, would have been wins without him. But in returning to action Feb. 16, Simien may have decided to feel comfortable a little earlier than he should have. You could try to blame Roy Williams for Wayne Simien's season-ending shoulder injury. Or you could try to blame Simien by claiming he must have been disguising how much his separated shoulder was bothering him. But most likely, theae both to But most likely, they're both to blame. Simien followed a gritty 22-point, 13-rebound performance against Colorado by telling reporters it felt like someone had stack a fork in his shoulder. That should have been Williams' cue to shut him down again for awhile; if not permanently. But he didn't, even though the regular season is almost over. They were getting through their Big 12 schedule just fine, without Simien, but having him back for the NCAA Tournament would have made a second-straight Final Four appearance a lot easier to achieve. Kansas' 79-61 thrashing of Oklahoma State on Saturday should have told Williams all he needed to know about what his team can do to Big 12 competition without Simien — and it should have told Simien that he didn't do his team any favors by coming back prematurely. With a healthy Simien, the Jayhawks are a beast to deal with, easily one of the top Five teams in the country. But there's no evidence that playing with an injured Simien made Kansas any better, and it sure made Simien a lot worse. Berlin is a Leawood senior in journalism Juniors Johnson, Paulding pledge to return as seniors despite NBA draft hype The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. Two of Missouri's top players say they plan to return to school for their senior seasons to play for the Tigers. Arthur Johnson has drawn attention after leading the Big 12 with 15 double-doubles this season, while Rickey Paulding has been projected as a first-round NBA draft pick. "I'm coming back," Paulding said Saturday after Missouri's 77-70 victory at Johnson said he also would stay in college. Kansas State. "I promise," he said. M Paulding leads Missouri in scoring with 16:9 points a game and has developed into a prime defender. Johnson, already Missouri's career leader in blocked shots, is averaging 16.2 points and 9.5 rebounds a game. "They're progressed," said former Atlanta Hawks coach Lon Kruger, who attended Saturday's game. "But they're going to make that same progression next year. Even more so, because they understand more clearly how important the work is in the offseason. They'll be better because of it. Missouri's program will be better." In recent years, Missouri has had other players leave early for the NBA with mixed results. Albert White left after his junior year in 1999; Keyon Dooling left after his sophomore year in 2000 and Kareem Rush left after his junior year last season. White was not drafted and is playing in the lower levels of the pro game. Dooling, the 10th pick of the 2000 draft by the Orlando Magic, is a reserve with the Los Angeles Clippers. Rush, the 20th pick of the 2002 draft by the Toronto Raptors, is a reserve with the Los Angeles Lakers. Kansas moves to No.6 from No.7 in AP poll The Associated Press Kansas moved up from seventh to sixth, and Arizona and Kentucky held the first two spots in The Associated Press college basketball poll for a third straight week yesterday. Arizona widened its lead over its fellow Wildcats from last week by one first-place vote. Arizona (23-2) won its 10th Pac-10 regular-season title in coach Lute Olson's 20 seasons after last week's sweep of a Bay area road trip. The Wildcats are the third team to go unbeaten on the road in the conference since the league expanded to 10 teams in 1978-79. The victories at California and Stanford extended Arizona's winning streak to eight games. Arizona received 59 first-place votes and 1,787 points from the national media panel. Kentucky had 13 first-place votes and 1,737 points. Kentucky (24-3) ran the nation's longest winning streak to 18 games with victories over Tennessee and Georgia. The Wildcats can wrap up an undefeated Southeastern Conference season by beating Vanderbilt and Florida. The Gators, who host Kentucky on Sunday, and Texas each moved up one place to third and fourth. Oklahoma, which lost at Missouri last week, dropped from third to fifth. Kansas moved from seventh to No. 6 — making it three Big 12 schools in a row in the rankings — and was followed by Pittsburgh, Marquette, Wake Forest and Duke. The Blue Devils' 72-71 loss at St. John's on Sunday dropped them from sixth to No. 10, their lowest ranking of the season. They remained one of five teams to be in the Top 10 all season along with Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas and Pittsburgh. Xavier, which has won 13 consecutive games, was No.11 and was followed by Syracuse, Maryland, Illinois Louisville, Notre Dame, Stanford Memphis, Creighton and Oklahoma State. The last five ranked teams were Dayton, California, Mississippi State, Wisconsin and Georgia. Wisconsin (21-6) moved into the poll for the first time since being ranked 23rd and 22nd for consecutive weeks in November. The Badgers have won three straight, including road victories over Michigan and Minnesota last week, and 11 of 13 overall. Wisconsin hosts Illinois on Wednesday and a victory would give the Badgers the Big Ten title. Utah (21-5) dropped out from 22nd after beating Brigham Young 71-64 last Monday in a matchup of the top two teams in the Mountain West Conference, then losing 76-69 at New Mexico on Sunday.

Instead, with the United States preparing for war, Hudson is worried about the March 25 to 26 games against Seattle. "We may as well have big targets on our backs saying, 'We're Americans, come bomb us,'" Hudson said yesterday. "I'm definitely going if the team goes, but I wouldn't want my family to come along. It's too dangerous." Signs of concern over a possible war with Iraq are spreading in the world of sports: Tiger Woods withdraws from a tournament in the Mideast, passing up a $2 million appearance fee; two college basketball players turn their backs on the U.S. flag during the national anthem; NFL Europe players worry about traveling. Teammate Scott Hatteberg understands Hudson's concern about their trip to Tokyo. "When your country is about to go to war, it could cause problems." Hattieberg said. "I'm still excited about going; it's just bad timing." Mariners pitcher Joel Paneiro, the team's player representative, has his own misgivings. "We just have to hope for the best," he said. "I've got to worry about throwing strikes. I can't let it affect me. None of us can let it affect us." Plenty of athletes have been thinking more about safety than wins or losses-or paydays. Woods gave up the big check from the Dubai Desert Classic because he knows the United Arab Emirates is 900 miles from Iraq. "It's just not a safe environment over there right now," the world's No. 1 golfer said. "I don't think it would be wise for me to go over there at this particular time." Wide receiver Eugene Baker, trying to establish himself in pro football, has fewer options. He is heading for Berlin, where the NFL Europe season starts April 5. "The danger is in the back of your mind," he said. "But Europe is supposed to be pretty safe if there's war. This is my first time going over. My mom's more nervous than me. But she doesn't want to scare me so she keeps it to herself." . The A's and Mariners are headed for Japan, but Kevin Millar is not. He pulled out of a $6.2 million, two-year deal with Japan's Chunichi Dragons, citing concerns about playing overseas if there is a war. It helped that the Boston Red Sox offered him a $5.3 million deal. The head of Japan's soccer federation said that two matches scheduled for late March in the United States would be canceled because of worry about a war. "Even if no war breaks out, there is no telling how things will turn out." Saburo Kawabuchi said. "It's not worth taking unnecessary risks." The next major event on America's sports calendar is the NCAA men's basketball tournament. CBS is in the first year of an 11-year, $6 billion deal with the NCAA — but the network also is preparing to shift coverage to cable networks in the event of war. Two female basketball players, Toni Smith of Manhattanville and Deidra Chatman of Virginia, protested U.S. foreign policy by turning their backs to the flag during the national anthem. Two weeks ago, Purdue coach Gene Keady was angry after his team lost to Ohio State and someone suggested the players were down. "Why would they be down on themselves?" he said. "Send them off to Afghanistan and they'll get fired up real quick. Terror jitters shook the America's Cup yacht races in New Zealand when a group calling itself "September 11" threatened the U.S., Australian and British embassies in New Zealand, warning it had 55 pounds of cyanide. In November, former East German soccer coach Bernd Stange signed a four-year contract to coach soccer in Iraq, with a clause allowing him to withdraw in case of war. On Thursday, he left the country after the German Foreign Ministry warned about 20 of its citizens about the danger of being there. Stange wrote a letter to each of his players, saying: "I pray to God that he guards you and your family." Six Big 12 teams could land in tournament The Associated Sports KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This time around, Colorado may not have to wait almost three decades between appearances in the NCAA tournament. The Buffs, who broke a 28-year drought when their 1996-97 team got a bid, may be on the verge of going back to what pundits call "the big dance." For one thing, they CU finally got a Big 12 road win — beating Baylor 72-59 Saturday in its last road game. But they also have their best point guard back in action. Senior Mookie Wright, who was placed on probation Jan. 24 in connection with an incident in another student's dorm room, was cleared to play a few hours before the team plane left for Waco. He came off the bench and had only 8 points and one assist. But Wright's experience and court presence could make a huge difference for the Buffs (17-10, 7-7 Big 12), who finish the regular season this week with home games against Oklahoma State and Nebraska. Their NCAA credentials are already bolstered with quality home victories over nationally ranked Missouri, Kansas and Texas. Beating Oklahoma State tomorrow night would give the Buffs a school-record four victories over nationally ranked foes while setting a Coors Events Center record with 11 straight victories. "There was a lot of talk about us not being able to win on the road, and certainly we hadn't played well on the road, other than the last game at Baylor," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said yesterday. "But I don't know if you were to take the point guard off any team in the Big 12 that they would have had a lot of road success. If you take T.J. Ford off Texas, you'd see a different team, particularly on the road." If Colorado gets in, it would almost surely mean the Big 12 would receive at least six NCAA bids. It would also be a big boost for Patton's up-and-coming program. "The fans have really been very supportive this year. We've had great crowds." Patton said. "It would be a great plus for our program. It helps you in recruiting and it just moves your program in the right direction. We've spent some time building toward this." A long shot possibility for an NCAA bid is Texas Tech, which lost to Kansas last night before it ending its season at Baylor on Saturday. After going 23-9 and tying for third in the Big 12 last season in Bob Knight's first year, the Red Raiders went into last night's game with a 16-9 record overall. 6-8 in conference. "I think we have played basketball better more often this year than we did last year." Knight said. The Red Raiders have also missed the departed Andy Ellis more than many people might expect, Knight said. "I think had Andy Ellis returned to this year's team, instead of playing well, for the most part, and playing teams closely, I think we would have beaten teams," Knight said. "Having Andy's presence would have made this a pretty good team." Missouri, which appeared to be a bubble team just a week ago, greatly strengthened its chance of being the Big 12's fifth NCAA队 with victories last week over then-No. 3 Oklahoma and Kansas State. Chiefs boost defense by signing linebacker The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs took the first step toward revamping their league-worst defense yesterday by signing free agent linebacker Shawn Barber to a seven-ear deal. Barber, who had 93 tackles and two interceptions with the Philadelphia Eagles last year, should help bolster the Chiefs' awful defense, which allowed more points and yardage last season than any other in franchise history. Barber said the deal — the terms of which were not disclosed — came together quickly because the Chiefs were the top team on his list and he was the top linebacker on the team's list. KC experience that should improve our defense immediately."Chiefs defensive coordinator Greg Peterson said in a statement. "He has played with one of the top defenses in the NFL in Philadelphia. We look for him to bring that experience with him to our defense." Barber, an athletic outside linebacker, will move from a defense ranked fourth in the league to the team ranked 32nd last season, one that allowed the league-high in both yardage and first downs. Barber said he was drawn to Kansas City by coach Dick Vermil.

Philadelphia loses two players The Associated Press The Philadelphia Eagles could find it a lot more difficult to defend the NFC East title next season. The team lost two players yesterday: linebacker Shawn Barber to Kansas City and Brian Mitchell to the New York Giants. The Eagles also stand to lose their top defensive end and pass rusher, Hugh Douglas, another unrestricted free agent, although they hope to re-sign him. Barber, one of several soughtafter linebackers available this year, signed with a team attempting to bolster a defense that was the NFLs worst statistically last season. The 34-year-old Mitchell, one of the best return men in NFL history, is expected to provide a major lift to the Giants' special teams, which have been dismal the past three seasons. Both Barber and Mitchell are ex-Redskins once removed. Both began their careers with Washington, which dominated the free-agent market in the first three days. The team signed eight players, primarily offensive and defensive linemen, and traded for running back Trung Candate. Washington's official additions yesterday were guards Lennie Friedman and Tre Johnson, who both signed free agent contracts. Barber signed a seven-year deal with the Chiefs, who finished 8-8, excelling on offense but allowing the most yards in the league last season. "He possesses the skills, abilities and experience that should improve our defense immediately," Chiefs president Carl Peterson said. Greene CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B More than anything,yesterday afternoon taught me that there is no reason not to be a fan while I still have the opportunity. At 5:00 p.m., I realized that I did not want to sour the experience, so I told myself that hitting one more shot would satisfy me. I pulled up from the wing, just as I had seen Jeff Boschee do hundreds of times, and hit the perfect 3-pointer. Grabbing the ball, I looked up at the banners and scoreboard, then down at the legendary floor and realized that this is what life is all about. For 45 minutes, I forgot about my busy life. For 45 minutes, I truly had a first-hand experience of the authenticity of Kansas basketball. But most importantly, for 45 minutes, I saw life and what is truly important to me in its purest form. Greene is a Vernon Hills, Ill., junior in journalism Creighton wins its final home game The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Larry House scored a career-high 28 points to lead No.19 Creighton past Wichita State 86-60 last night. Creighton (26-4, 15-3 Missouri Valley Conference) outscoed the Shockers 26-8 in the first eight minutes of the second half to put the game away. Paul Miller scored 18 to lead Wichita State (17-10, 12-6). House, who shot 11-of-16 from the floor, scored his final points on a short jumper with 6:24 left. His legs got tangled in traffic after the basket, and he left with a twisted ankle. He hobbled to the bench, to chants of "Lar-ry, Lar-ry" from the fans who showed up to honor House and fellow seniors Kyle Korver and DeAnthony Bowden. The Bluejays finished 17-0 in their last season at Civic Auditorium; next season they'll move nine blocks away to a new downtown arena that is under construction. This is the third time in the program's 85-year history that Creighton has gone unbeaten at home. The Shockers committed 25 turnovers in the game, compared with 10 for Creighton. Both teams struggled at the start, however, with each missing nine of its first 10 shots. Korver, who had 13 points, barely struck iron with his first 3-point attempt, and he put up an airball on his second. Korver made the third, though, and the Bluejays went on a 17-6 run to take a 21-10 lead. Paul Miller scored six straight points to pull the Shockers to 26-22 late in the first half. But Tyler McKinney hit a pull-up jumper from the free-throw line, Nathan Funk made a short shot and Grimes made a bank shot underneath to help the Bluejays stretch the lead to 34-24 at halftime.

Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, and Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school and international programs, left yesterday on a three-day trip to discuss renewing an exchange agreement with the University of Costa Rica. While they are in Costa Rica, they will hear a briefing on Martin's murder case at the request of the chancellor. Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said the University wanted the case to be brought to justice. "We've been doing everything we can to assist the family since the day of the murder," she said. "We felt that would be the very best thing to do." Chancellor Robert Hemenway wrote a letter to the president of Costa Rica in January asking that officials of the Costa Rican Organization of Judicial Investigation conduct a briefing to update University representatives on the progress of Martin's case. Hemenway asked that "all appropriate authorities pursue every available legal avenue to see that this horrible crime is solved." Hemenway received a response from Costa Rican President Abel Pacheco this week that said the Costa Rican government was dedicated to moving forward in Martin's case. Pacheco said in his letter that the government was "committed to seeing that the cruel murder of Shannon Martin, which has caused so much pain, be Martin was stabbed to death after leaving a Golfito, Costa Rica, nightclub in May 2001. She was in Golfito on a KU study abroad program and would have graduated with honors a week later. The University has since discontinued the program. solved as quickly as possible". Carlin and Weinberg will also deliver a letter from Martin's mother, Jeanette Stauffer, and her family to Costa Rican officials. "Mrs. Stauffer has really been encouraging us to use the clout that the University carries," Carlin said. NICARAGUA COSTA RICA San Jose Golfo PANAMA Weinberg and Carlin will meet with Donovan Atkinson/Kansan Jorge Rojas, the director of the Organization of Judicial Investigation, and Lineth Short-term lease options are available By Jessica Palimenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer From December graduation to study abroad, there are a number of reasons students seek short-term leases. Students needing shortened lease terms often have to look harder to find apartments to accommodate them. Kyle Cohlmia, Stillwater, Okla., sophomore, is planning to stay in Lawrence over the summer even though Pi Beta Phi sorority house where she lives will be closed. Cohlmia and her friends will subleasing while working and attending class over the summer, but there are a few other options available to students. Fox Run apartments, 4500 Overland Drive, offers three- to 12-month lease terms at no extra cost. Manager Mike Smith said it was important to accommodate people's different situations. "We have a lot of fraternity and sororities that, when their houses close for the summer, they decide they want to stay in Lawrence. We also offer just a summer term lease to help them out," Smith said. Smith said he had a high rate of retention from residents who wanted to stay after their short-term leases expired. The complex also offers an all-inclusive utility package, where the utilities are paid by the apartment during a shortened lease at a flat rate with no inflation and no utility deposit. Master Plan Management offers six, nine- and 12-month leases at no additional cost at two of its locations. "Some people like to have the shortterm lease option. They don't like being locked in for a full year," said Michelle Paterson, Master Plan leasing agent. There is sometimes an additional cost to the complex for offering this option. Park 25, 2401 W. 25th St., charges an additional fee of $50 per month to sign a short-term lease. There is also the possibility of subleasing for a short time. Mastercraft Management does not allow short-term leases, but it does have an option to sublease. Mastercraft keeps a list of residents interested in subleasing their apartments. Then the management puts apartment hunters in contact with those wanting to sublease "The corporation tells me it's for the paper work and trying to lease an apartment at mid-year can be more difficult," said Valerie Foos, Park 25 leasing agent. Mastercraft also advertises subleases, but it is a joint effort with the residents. "We encourage them to also put fliers up and advertise on their own," said Bobbie Wintel. Mastercraft leasing agent. There is a $100 fee for apartment residents to sublease their apartments with Mastercraft. Edited by Anne Mantey Ki WE COM Erich Buer, Lawrence resident and produce assistant, rotates organic produce at the Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Iowa St., which is seeking certification to be official organic handlers from the Midwest Organic Services Association. "I hope people embrace it," Buer said about the future of organic foods. "It is so much better than subsidizing chemical agriculture." Brandon Baker/Kansan Students pick organic foods Food industry growing; focus on environment, health By Nikki Overfelt noverfelt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Using Clairol Herbal Essences products isn't the only organic experience KU students are choosing these days. The organic food industry is growing nationwide, said Lisa Taylor, public information officer for the Kansas Department of Agriculture, and college students are also choosing to dig in. Organic agriculture is an ecological production system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity, and it is based on practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony, according to the National Organic Standards Board for the United States Department of Agriculture. A concern for the environment and for their health are the main reasons people are choosing to eat organic, Taylor said. With all of the processed food out there, she said, people are looking for something simpler. These are the two reasons why Aaron Paden, Lawrence senior, chooses to eat organic foods, he said. Organic foods are not genetically modified and are made without using pesticides, so they are safer and more environmentally sound, Paden said. Supporting local farmers by purchasing through a co-op is another reason he likes eating organic products, he said. Choosing organic foods is not just a trend that will fade with college students, Paden said, because of the world they have grown up in. "The younger generation is more aware of environmental issues," he said. Hadley Ruggles, Overland Park SEE ORGANIC FOODS ON PAGE 7A Ash Wednesday starts Lenten season By Cal Creek ccreek@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students looking to recover from Mardi Gras hangovers might want to include palm ashes along with water Tylenol Today marks the Christian holiday of Ash Wednesday, the first day of the Lenten season. According to Seasons of the Church Year by Jane Furlong, Ash Wednesday is the 40th day, not including Sundays, before Easter. It is named after the custom of burning the palms from Palm Sunday and placing the ashes on the foreheads of the faithful in the form of a cross, an outward symbol of inward repentance. “It's the beginning of the season of Lent, it symbolizes penance,” the Rev. Vince Krische of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, said. “There’s considered to be sacred power in ashes.” Ash Wednesday is not solely a Catholic holiday. It is also observed by some Protestants, and several services will be provided on campus today. Krische said many Catholics observe penance, increased prayer and charity during the 40 days of Lent in an attempt to become better people. And if everybody becomes a better person, the Church becomes better, too, he said. For many Christians, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of deprivation. Many give up vices or fast in some form. United Methodist Campus Pastor Phil Shull said a modern form of fasting occurred when Christians gave up a meal once a week or gave money to a charity. With the beginning of Lent, many churches direct those who want to become Christians into the final steps of their studies, culminating on Easter Sunday.

In the article, "Playing around with war," stated Katie Wolff's name was misspelled. In the photo caption accompanying the article, "KANU to air docudrama series," composer Robert Schumann's name was misspelled. CAMPUS Student walkout planned to protest war with Iraq A student walkout, "Books not Borbs: National Student Strike," will take place today at 11:00 a.m. at Wescoe Beach to protest a possible war with Iraq. The event will start with an open mid reading at 11 a.m. for students, faculty and Lawrence residents to express their concerns. Tables will be set up on Wescoe Beach with informational materials about a war in Iraq and what it would mean. Around noon, the demonstrators will march down Jayhawk Boulevard to Fraser Hall where a human peace sign will be formed on the lawn. Amanda Flott, Omaha junior, said the goal of the student strike was to get students and faculty to walk out of classes and drop their normal activities to demonstrate their opposition to a possible war. Professors were encouraged by e-mails and letters from Students for Peace members to cancel classes, walk out of classes with their students or have teach-ins educating students about the current events surrounding the threat of war. Flott is one of the national representative for the "Books not Borbs" student demonstration. She said she hoped students would come and voice their concerns about a war in Iraq. "I want students from all view points to attend," Flott said. "We want to get students on both ends revved up." —Kelley Weiss Mechanics to offer students free vehicle inspections Students driving out of town on spring break have a cheap and easy way to make sure their cars will make it out of Lawrence. The offices of Student Health Services and KU Peer Health are offering students free car inspections from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in the parking lot at 11th and Illinois streets, across from Memorial Stadium The mechanics from Midas Auto Service Experts, 2801 S. Iowa St., Slimmers Auto Service, 2030 E. 23rd St., and Bob's Import Service Inc., 714 W. Sixth St., will check tire pressure, fluids, belts, hoses and lights on students' cars. Melissa Smith, public health educator with the Office of Student Health, said that if the mechanics discover more serious problems, the student will be provided with a coupon to get the work done at one of the shops. "Our emphasis is on having a safe spring break and keeping students safe and healthy." Smith said, "Cars breaking down might not necessarily be a danger, but it can certainly be a nuisance." JJHensley In addition to the inspections, the first 500 drivers get packets that include 20-minute phone cards, first aid kits and condoms. NATION Women's groups seek help for anti-violence promotion The event, which will be held Oct. 4, will include music, information booths, poetry readings, personal stories of domestic abuse and a march to protest violence. The night will close with a Native American blessing. The University of Missouri-Kansas City Women's Center and the Eastern Jackson County chapter of the National Organization of Women need volunteers for a Take Back the Night rally to promote awareness about violence against women. Students can sign up for committees that fit their schedules to help pass out flyers, set up and take down tables, booking entertainment and speakers and fundraising.

Kansas Union --- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2003 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A NEWS Events to observe Women's History Month By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students on campus wearing T-shirts that read "Ask Me About The F-word," are not advocating the obvious. These students are members of the Commission on the Status of Women and they're hoping students will stop and ask about them about the f-word — feminism. "Media and society have cast feminism as such a negative term," Fouzia Haq, president of the commission, said. "We truly want to educate the campus about the term feminism. It's the only fight for equality that isn't accepted." In addition to their T-shirts, the commission will also be handing out more than 1,000 buttons that read "This Is What A Feminist Looks Like" during March to celebrate national Women's History Month. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is celebrating Women's History Month in a more subtle way by honoring women who have influenced the lives of University of Kansas students, faculty and staff with "The Women Who Shape Our Lives." Photographs and brief descriptions of these women were submitted during February and will be on display through the month of March at www.ku.edu/~etwrc. "Sometimes women who are in very public positions, like politicians and in the media, are the ones who get noticed," Kathy Rose-Mockry, director for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said. "This is a chance to think a bit about the place women have in our lives." The resource center and the University's women's studies department are working with other University organizations to sponsor speakers and events on women's topics including information technology careers, policy research on the status of women and the life of Jane Austen. Two speakers will make presentations on prospects for women in technology careers. Paula Stephan, an economist from Georgia State University, will discuss the retention of women and minorities in the information technology work force on March 13. Shirley Harkess, a KU associate professor of sociology, will discuss the grounds for optimism for women in high technology careers. Harkess' presentation on March 27 requires registration at pri@ku.edu. "Women are very under-represented in these fields," RoseMockry said. "Women have somehow gotten message that they are not equipped for these areas. It's important for women to say I can do that." A lecture on March 31 by Heidi Hartmann, founder and executive director of the Institute for Women's Policy Research, will replace the February Sisters Forum that was canceled in February because of travel complications, said Carey Scheerer, February Sisters Association co-chairwoman. The institute focuses on social and economic issues of women and publishes reports on the status of women in each state. Women's History Month began as a weeklong celebration during the week of March 8. In 1987, at the request of women's organizations, youth leaders and educators, the National Women's History Project successfully petitioned Congress to expand the weeklong celebrations of women's history to the entire month of March. Since 1992, a presidential proclamation has recognized the national celebration. "Women have made a lot of progress in a relatively short amount of time," Rose-Mockry said. "Somebody said once that we don't know where we're going unless we know where we've been. That is so on target for Women's History Month." Freshman broke timidness with help from break dancing Edited by Leah Shaffer By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer 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, Will Umphrey broke down social barriers with his break dancing skills. Umphrey, Shawnee freshman, entered Shawnee Mission Northwest High School as a quiet and introverted freshman. "I was the oddball that got laughed at in the lunchroom Faces in the Crowd when I was little," Umphrey said. Uphrey's timid days came to a halt when he began watching break dancing on MTV. "I recorded the shows and practiced the moves on trampolines and diving boards," Umphrey said. Umphey's self-taught skills progressed and before he knew it, his social life made a complete turnaround. His break-through performance was during a spirit assembly his sophomore year of high school. Umphey performed handsprings, windmills and back flips in front of 2,500 of his peers. "It gave people a reason to talk to me," Umphrey said. "I'd hear people say, 'Look, it's the break-dancing kid." Umphrey wasn't the only one who was surprised by the crowd's reaction. The student energy in the gym amazed John Dunlap, Umphrey's high-school friend. 10 "Everyone went crazy," Dunlap said. "They were the loudest cheers that I've ever heard during a spirit assembly. It was a huge transition for Will. It was his 15 minutes of fame." Umphey became notorious in the hallways and at parties for being the break-dancing guy. Although he admits that his skills may have helped him get girls' attention, the fame and popularity wasn't as fulfilling as he had hoped it would be. "Everywhere I went, people would ask me to do a back flip, I just got tired of it." Umphrey said. Umphrey no longer flips for fame — he said he was way too out of shape. "You really have to maintain your strength," Umphrey said. "My college lifestyle is killing me." Occasionally, he caters to break-dancing requests at his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi. Umphrey's shy days are long behind him. "He's anything but shy," roommate Peter Thornhill, Prairie Village freshman, said. "You can tell he's been break dancing for a while." - Edited by Jason Elliott Dan Nelson/Kansan Will Umphrey, Shawnee freshman, performs a break-dance move in the basement of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house. Umphrey said he had been involved in break dancing since high school. B's Glass Tobacco Smoking Accessories Huge Sale! Huge Sale!

LET'S DONATE MONEY FOR A STATUE OR SOMETHING WE CAN PUT OUR NAMES ON... WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS NEW SIGN WADE Jannifir Farad for The University of Dalkey Kansai Science doesn't have to weaken faith PERSPECTIVE COMMENTARY I was looking at a paramecium. That's a tiny, one-celled animal that lives in pond water. I had seen one before, through a standard light microscope. I remembered that paramecium as looking ghostly and indistinct. 100% But this one, magnified thousands of times, was not. It seemed tangible, solid and fuzzy as a Muppet. Each of its myriad luxuriant hairs was rooted intricately in its patterned skin. Rachel Robson opinion@hansan.com It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I wanted to weep. I witnessed the kind of heart-stopping natural beauty that others see as evidence for creationism. I see it as a prime example of evolution, for scientific reasons and as cause for gratitude, for personal religious ones. Because, while creationism and science conflict, religious faith and science do not. Female parasitic wasps lay their eggs in the living bodies of other insects. The wasps' prey are paralyzed, but not killed. Nature isn't all sublime beauty. It's also soulless cruelty. Parasitic wasps are just one example. by a mother wasp's sting. She lays an egg inside her incapacitated victim, which is then, over the span of several months, eaten alive by the developing baby wasp. A new wasp eventually emerges. Aliten-style, from the husk of its tortured prey. In a probably apocryphal story about the Anglican minister and famous naturalist, Charles Darwin was so troubled by this discovery that he lost his faith in a loving God. Perhaps it was these wasps Darwin was thinking of when he wrote to a friend in 1856, "What a book a Devil's Chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering low and horridly cruel works of nature." Unlike Darwin's, my faith was not shaken by a newfound understanding of the reproductive biology of a few species of wasps. But I grew up learning evolution and religion side-by-side, where Darwin was raised in a Noah's Ark world. I do not know how such cavalier cruelties of nature could fail to shake a creationist's faith. It's easy to believe that God could create an elegant microbe, like the one I saw last spring. But I cannot believe that my God would "intelligently design" wasps that must torture other creatures to death for their own species to survive. As an evolutionist, I can see nature's viciousness as a byproduct of natural laws and not as part of a malicious divine plan. My understanding of biology makes my religious faith stronger, not weaker, as evolution opponents argue it should. Understanding science hasn't weakened the faith of countless other scientists, either. In the past several decades, the percentage of Americans as a whole who describe themselves as religious believers has steadily decreased, many polls have shown. But the 40 percent of practicing scientists who describe themselves as religious has remained constant since the early 20th century, a study by James Leuba in 1916 that was replicated by Edward Larson and Larry Witham in 1997 found. During the same time, the number of scientists convinced of evolutionary theory grew dramatically, with no apparent increase in apostasy. For many of my peers, science and faith have a symbiotic relationship, each one bolstering the other. Renowned geneticist, evolutionist and confessed "serious Christian" Francis Collins once described his feelings about scientific discovery: "I experience a feeling of awe at the realization that humanity now knows something that only God knew before. It is a deeply moving sensation that helps me appreciate the spiritual side of life and also makes the practice of science more rewarding." PERSPECTIVEI Feeling the tug of its beauty on my soul, I did what many evolutionary scientists would do. I have believed that through science, we can better understand our world. A year ago, I used the technological miracle of electron microscopy to see the evolved beauty of a paramecium. Ethnocentrism forsakes morality I prayed. COMMENTARY --- Anthropology is not my cup of tea. I've taken one anthropology course in my time at the University of Kansas and I'm still enrolled in it, but my experience with the course tells me that the discipline is not suited for me. The instructor warned us in the first few days of class not to come into the course with notions of measuring the African nations that we would study against our own because comparisons were meaningless. Matthew Dunavan opinion@kansan.com I realized that Anthropology had moved away from its traditional status of chronicling the details of other cultures, to having some sort of ethical fervor behind it. Moral language was used to describe other cultures, and the phrase 'It's right for them,' was heard on occasion. It is now not only a standard of the field not to criticize other cultures, but a tenet that it is morally wrong to do so. This is a common view in contemporary American society. Traumatized by accusations that we are cultural imperialists, many academics have embraced the idea that all other cultures are immune to critique and put moral weight behind the idea that each social grouping was just as good as another. The Kansan was even accused of ethnocentrism in a "Tongue in Beak" article recently, for which it apologized. Underlying the claim that we should not criticize other belief structures is a fundamental world view that all systems If we accept that all cultures are equally valid, we are committed to positions that I'd be afraid to see people support. German anti-Semitism in the 1930s and 1940s, including Hitler's "Final Solution," are merely expressions of a different, and yet equally valid, moral code. Some African cultures whose reliance on spirits and witchcraft to heal disease, while rejecting the biological basis of health, result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, and that's OK. We could even posit a society that smiles on the practice of serial infant-raping, and we'd be unable to argue against it. of belief are equally valid. This is fallacious reasoning, and it must be rejected. We must reserve the right to use any means, even one as volatile as humor, to critique other cultures. This form of cultural relativism doesn't allow us to criticize others. It also denies us the ability to criticize ourselves. When we act as though all beliefs are of equal validity, then we lose the concept of progress. If we cannot compare two contemporaneous societies against each other, then why can we compare over time? The elimination of slavery on the basis of race becomes simply dry and dusty description, rather than moral progress. Ethnocentrism is a bad thing. We shouldn't assume that our own culture is somehow better than another. Argument will be required to show that certain aspects are better if, indeed, they are, and that's questionable. This position doesn't entail, though, that we are forbidden to examine the practices of others. Some people would accuse me of being a cultural imperialist, but note that there have been no claims that American culture is the best in all regards. We had N'Sync, The Bachelor television series and so much advertising that, according to National Geographic Magazine, young children can name more brands of beer than they can U.S. presidents. And that's not to mention the state-sponsored terrorism we carry out regularly. Just because we are all fallible doesn't mean we are all right. Robson is a Baldwin City graduate student in pathology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. At some point, people need to realize that no one's beliefs are 100 percent correct, and that everyone, including this author, are fair game for criticism.

A NEW MRC NEW MRC CHANGING THE FACE OF KU Last spring, we promised to lead the effort to build a new multicultural resource center. Since then, we have followed through, making significant progress on bringing a new MRC closer to reality. Obviously, this is a major undertaking that cannot just happen overnight. The Student Senate has laid the foundation with the goal of having a new MRC fully constructed by the time freshmen are seniors. The only major obstacle left is securing funding in which we have teamed up with KU Endowment.To date, here is a brief overview of the entire project. Timeline of Progress Summer 2002 - A committee of students and administrators met to discuss a new MRC proposal - Different campus locations researched as possible sites for a new MRC Fall 2002 - Meetings between students and administrators continue - Campus-wide town hall meeting convened to brainstorm ideas for the new MRC Winter 2002-03 - University completes a feasibility study and cost estimate on the Kansas Union site - University endorses Student Senate proposal for the new MRC Spring 2003 - Chancellor states the new MRC has become a "high priority" for the University due to the students' initiative - KU Endowment actively pursuing potential donors - University Governance and the Commission on Minorities endorses the plan for a new MRC - Provost agrees to set aside tuition enhancement funds to cover future programming, staffing and maintenance costs - Awareness campaign underway MRC Proposal At a Glance Proposed site: Northeast corner of the Kansas Union The Kansas Union serves as the ideal location since it is highly visible and accessible, creates a natural synergy between student groups and the new MRC and better integrates the MRC's programming and resources for the entire campus community. > Estimated cost: $2.75 million Private funds and a small student fee are possible sources of funding. Once funding is secured, an architect and contractor must be hired and then construction can begin. This process will take 2-3 years, fitting in line with our target goal. > Size: 7,000 gross square feet Our proposal includes a multi-purpose room for meetings and classes, a state-of-art computer lab,a small library, group work areas and individual study rooms.

Last year, the Commission voted to stop classroom speeches that promoted candidates or coalitions because the speeches would compromise the Commission's ability to enforce fairness. The Commission reinforced this statement at the first Senate meeting this semester after a proposed bill challenged the code. The bill would allow instructors to decide whether campaign speeches could be made in their classrooms. The bill failed. Student Body President Jonathan Ng was one of the bill sponsors. He said neither Senate nor the Commission should have jurisdiction over what happens in the classroom. STUDENT STUDENT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SENATE "It should be up to the discretion of the professor to decide what is and is not appropriate," he said. David Mitchell, graduate senator, was the election commissioner last year who interpreted the elections code and said that campaigning should not interfere with University classes. The bill had to be decided the night of the first Senate meeting because the election code was final as of Feb. 9. It was amended to include that campaign speeches wouldn't be allowed 10 minutes before and after classes. Diana Calkins, commission chair, said the code was in the best interest of the students and staff. Students paid for those classes and it is the faculty's area to say what happens in the class. In objection to this, Kyle Johnson, engineering senator, said hearing campaign speeches was a positive effect because more students would be reached. Mark Dupree, Nunemaker senator, said he was against the bill because the Senate had enough problems with soliciting votes. "I think since there is a possibility of professors being prejudiced, then we should not let them do that," he said. Even though campaign speeches won't be allowed, Calkins encourages other forms of campaigning. Candidates can campaign outside the door of the classroom or speak in the classroom as long as it is before the 10 minutes preceding the class. And Calkins strongly recommended the get-out-to-vote speeches so long as they don't favor a candidate or coalition. — Edited by Anne Mantey Calkins said violations to the elections code could be reported to Courtney Wachal, elections commissioner, at 864-2388. Complaint forms are available at room 133 in Strong Hall. Peace, conflict minor now available By Kellie Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students interested in peaceful solutions and conflict resolution can now get a minor in peace and conflict studies. The minor, announced Feb. 19, is a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary degree offered through the department of Humanities and Western Civilization. It examines the origins and nature of conflict within and between societies and the various ways in which humans address conflict, according to the peace and conflict studies minor information sheet. Diane Fourny, one faculty member involved in developing the minor, said the minor would be beneficial for students interested in a career in humanitarian aid, international relations diplomacy, law and mediation. One of the important missions at the University of Kansas is to give students a significant international experience and broaden international education, said Fourny, associate professor of French, Italian and Humanities and Western Civilization. The new minor would help fulfill that mission, Fourny said. To obtain the minor students must take 18 hours of 300 or above courses. Students are required to take three core courses for the minor, which are offered in the humanities and western civilization, religious studies, sociology, history and political science departments. Two elective courses are also required for the minor, which fall under the departments for the core courses and in the departments of English and anthropology. Students must also participate in a senior seminar in peace and conflict studies. Jes Steineger, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said the minor was a great option for students. Steineger is graduating in May and does not have enough time to complete the minor, but he said he wished he could get the minor. "It will be great for people who want to move into conflict resolution," Steineger said. "It will make a really rounded minor because students can take classes from so many departments." Steineger is in the Religious Perspectives on War and Peace class, which counts as a core course toward the minor. Eleven students in the class were interested in the minor but did not have enough time to complete the requirements. Sarah Burris, Lawrence junior, has time to complete the minor. She would like to complete it if it fits into her work schedule. Burris is majoring in English creative writing and said she hoped to go to law school. Burris is taking a class this semester that will count as an elective for the minor. The Literature of Human Rights. The minor can be applied to her studies and is a needed addition for minor options at the University. "It's the next step for higher education to generate minds that want to change the world," Burris said. University of Nebraska-Lincoln. University of Missouri-Columbia and University of Notre Dame offer similar peace and conflict programs.

Carlin said she and Weinberg had no specific expectations about what they would hear at the briefing. "They are holding three people in custody right now," she said. "And we are hopeful that those are the right three people." Carlin said KU officials had dealt with representatives at the U.S. and Costa Rican embassies, but this was the first time KU officials had talked to anyone from the Organization of Judicial Investigation. Police in Costa Rica have two men and one woman in custody. Katia Venessa Cruz Murillo was arrested six months after Martin's death and remains in custody. Rafael Zumbado and Luis Alberto Castro were arrested in July 2002. Zumbado was released on insufficient evidence in December but was booked into jail again Feb. 3 in connection with another death. Castro was also cleared but remains in custody for a drug-smuggling case.

The store sees many college students, said Nancy O'Connor, representative for the Community Mercantile. But she doesn't think the rise in popularity will decrease.

Reverend Joe Alford, Episcopal Chaplain at the Canterbury house, said Ash Wednesday and Lent should be used to reflect and remind Christians of their faiths. "If its part of their Christian tradition it marks a special time of study and reflection," he said. The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center will have Ash Wednesday masses at the St. Lawrence chapel at 7:30 a.m., 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. The church will also have masses at 12:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The Episcopal Canterbury House, Ecumenical Christian Ministries, Lutheran Campus Ministries, United Methodist Campus Ministry and St John's Catholic Apostolic Church have united to sponsor Ash Wednesday services that draw from the four contributing faiths today in Danforth Chapel.

Fort Riley officials said yesterday. Approximately 2,100 soldiers including the remainder of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division and additional troops from the 937th Engineer Group received orders to deploy in support of Central Command operations. Spokeswoman Christie Vanover said the soldiers were previously on alert. Pentagon officials gave orders over the weekend to more than 60,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen to deploy to the Persian Gulf, raising the number of U.S. forces in the region to 300,000. The latest Fort Riley deployment is in addition to 2,400 soldiers who were ordered to deploy in February, Vanover said.

THE ROYAL FAMILY CURTAIN TIME IS 7:30 P.M. CRAFTON-PREYER THEATRE/ MURPHY HALL 19 Vitamins supply vital nutrients By Nikki Overfelt noverfelt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer KU students may have outgrown Flintstones vitamins,but "the 10 million strong and growing" still need their nutrients. College students don't always eat a healthy, balanced diet, so taking vitamin supplements can help them get the nutrients they need, said Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "A one-a-day multivitamin isn't a bad idea for the typical college student at all," she said. "But it doesn't replace a good diet." If students do choose to take vitamins, Chapman said she recommended they take a one-a-day multivitamin because it contained 100 percent of the essential nutrients. Naomi Clock, Lawrence sophomore, said she had been taking a daily multivitamin plus doses of calcium, zinc, vitamin B, C and E for several years. "I don't feel like I get enough in my diet," she said. "I take them just to be on the safe side." Mohammad Haiden, Kuwait sophomore, however, said he didn't take vitamins and preferred to get them in his diet. Emily Kerr, Shawnee sophmore, said she took vitamin C occasionally, such as when she was getting sick. Students often think that taking vitamins will give them them a boost, Chapman said. "It's not going to make you feel a whole lot better or provide you with energy," she said. "It doesn't fuel you at all." Although it's hard to generalize that all college students need to be taking vitamins, Chapman said, there are certain nutrients students should make sure they are getting enough of. If women choose to take a multivitamin Chapman said she recommended they take a women's formula because they contain more calcium and iron. "Iron and calcium tend to be issues for women," she said. "Iron As for calcium, Chapman said, the recommended daily intake is one quart of milk, and college females don't make the effort to get that much calcium. because women lose blood each month and women don't tend to be big meat eaters and that's your best source of iron." But for men, it's the opposite extreme, she said. Men should take a men's formula because it doesn't have the added iron and calcium, Chapman said. "Iron and calcium tend to be issues for women. Iron because women lose blood each month and women don't tend to be big meat eaters and that's your best source of iron." Ann Chapman Dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center Too much iron can be harmful for men because it increases their risk for heart disease, she said. Excess amounts of iron in men aren't the only vitamins that can be harmful in high doses, Chapman said. Fat soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D and E can become toxic in high amounts, but it would take a lot, Chapman said. "Vitamins turn into drugs when they are taken in excess amounts," she said. Extreme amounts of these vitamins can harm the liver, Chapman said. Students should be cautious of the vitamin supplements they take because often the vitamins can have interactions and block the vitamins they need to be getting, said Cynthia Akagi, professor of health sport and exercise science. "College students often get hooked on the latest thing and take something they don't need," she said. Edited by Erin Chapman First Management Living Communities. Something for everyone.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2003 Kansas to avenge Iowa State Big 12 Conference play ends tonight for'Hawks By Ryan Greene rggreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Tonight, a bittersweet regular season will come to a close for the Kansas women's basketball team. The Jayhawks (10-16, 3-12) have improved this season on last year's 0-16 in the Big 12 Conference but still have not reached their full potential. Tonight, Kansas looks to end its conference schedule by getting revenge against Iowa State. On Jan. 11 in Ames, the Cyclones squeaked by the Jayhawks with a 72-70 victory. Kansas coach Marian Washington said she was relieved that her team would get to play at least one home game following an emotionally draining road stretch at Kansas State and Missouri. Washington said it was a good way to finish the Big 12. "We had a very good game against them in Ames, so I know they will go in with some confidence," she said. Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras liked the way the offense executed in the first game, and knowing what Iowa State will bring beforehand is helping Kansas prepare more efficiently. "I think they're going to stick with the 2-3 zone, and we're just trying to perfect our offense to try and abuse that," Burras said. KANSAS VS. IOWA STATE KANSAS (10-16) With a victory tonight, the team can finish as high as ninth, but with a loss, it could see an 11th place finish. Washington not only wants the team to win to build confidence but also because Iowa State could be Kansas' first round opponent in next week's Big 12 tournament. "I think it would be a real confidence booster for us going into that tournament," Washington said. "I think it would be a really important thing for us P No. Player Ht. Yt.

Iowa State tries to overcome road struggles against Kansas Cyclones to challenge Jayhawks tonight look to extend streak By Shane Mettlen smetten@kansan.com Kansas sports writer The Iowa State women's basketball team will be hoping that tonight's trip to Lawrence goes better than last year—off the court, that is. On Feb. 6, 2002, the Cyclones' team plane had to make an emergency landing en route to the match-up with the Jayhawks. The team eventually arrived at Allen Fieldhouse two hours before tipoff, but managed to shrug off the adversity and hand Kansas a 75-50 loss. When the two teams meet again in the Fieldhouse, at 7 tonight, the Cyclones may get more of a challenge from the Jayhawks. Iowa State trailed most of the way against Big 12 Conference bottom dweller Nebraska while shooting only 32 percent from the field but managed a late rally to defeat the Huskers Saturday. "The will of this team took over, and I think a lot of people wanted to win because it was the seniors' last home game, and they made it happen." "The will of this team took over, and I think a lot of people wanted to win because Lindsey Wilson Iowa State senior it was the seniors' last home game, and they made it happen," Iowa State senior Lindsey Wilson said. "I'm just glad my teammates came through, and the intensity out there was really amazing." The Cyclones have struggled on the road this season, winning only one game outside the Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State has had recent success against Kansas though. The Cyclones won the last four meetings with Kansas but have won only four times in Lawrence. For Kansas the game provides an opportunity to close out the regular season on a positive note. The Jayhawks have lost three straight including a 73-52 spanking at Missouri Saturday. The Jayhawks are optimistic going into tonight's game despite their recent struggles but will need a better effort defensively than in the first meeting with the Cyclones this season. "It was a game we could have won," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "We lost to the 3-point shooters, and we were just not there." Washington said Missouri was a difficult game. "I was very,very disappointed, especially on the defensive end," Washington said. "Hopefully, we will be able to rebound for this last game." — Edited by Erin Chapman Slow motion attack Dan Nelson/Kansan Instructor Owen Livingston (right) demonstrates a move with the help of Topeka junior Jason Ziegler at a meeting of the Ki-Aikido club in Robinson Center.

It's a big, silver, chunky thing. People comment on it often, and every time I love to tell this story. The watch belonged to my grandpa. During World War II, a Japanese fighter plane was shot down in front of him. He took a piece from the wing and made it into the watch that now adorns my left wrist. My grandpa died two years ago after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. He used to sputter stories of being scared and wanting to "get off the ship." Even safe in his own bed at 85 years old, he was transformed into a scared young man fearing for his life. If I had to talk about my grandpa at Allen Fieldhouse center court in front of 16,300 people. I don't think I could. Listening to Nick Collison mention his own grandpa on senior day on Saturday brought tears to more eyes than just mine. Kelly McNearney editor@kansan.com My best friend admitted to dabbing GUEST COMMENTARY away his own masculine tears at Collison's emotional display, and I was convinced of what I always suspected. Nick Collison is the finest athlete I'll ever see. I've had to interview a lot of people as a journalist. Each one has had the same answer to one question. Favorite Kansas basketball player? Nick Collison. The reasons vary from, "Did you see him against Texas?" to "He's not too showy like some players," and, my personal favorite, "He just seems like such a nice guy." That's the crazy thing about celebrity,1 guess. We fall in love with the guy because we've conjured up an image in our heads that he's the all-American boy from Iowa who probably helps old ladies cross the street and would ask permission before dating your daughter. Really, we don't even know him. But there's something more here. Roy Williams said Collison was one of the reasons he stayed in coaching. He said the Collison family was phenomenal. Dick Vitale said Collison embodied everything you could want in a college athlete. And there's something to be said for a guy who is his sister's wedding attendant of honor and teaches basketball to his kid brother. Then there is that 3.7 grade point average. In one conversation with Nick, he was genuinely excited at the possibility of becoming an Academic All-American.

Keith Langford on the Big 12 Championship Inside Sports SPORTS COMMENTARY Jessica Scott iscott@kansan.com Allow player to turn back on U.S. flag Fifty years ago, it would be surprising to see a female on a basketball court, that is, unless she was wearing a cheerleading skirt. But now, one female basketball player is creating quite a buzz in the sports world, and it isn't because of her crossover dribble. All season, Toni Smith of the Manhattanville College women's basketball team in Purchase, N.Y., has refused to face the American flag during the national anthem. Instead, she turns her back and lowers her head until the pregame ceremony is over. Because of the gesture, national media outlets such as ESPN and HBO are flocking to Manhattanville's games. They don't care about the Division III basketball program; they come to watch Smith and feel the emotions she evokes from her actions. She's been yelled at and taunted. A crowd of more than 300 people chanted "Leave Our Country" during a recent game. A student group handed out tiny flags for the crowd to wave in protest. She was even confronted by a flag-waving Vietnam veteran who rushed onto the court and shouted in her face. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2003 Everyone should just leave Smith alone. In no way am I anti-American, especially at a time when our country is teetering on the edge of war, but Smith is just doing what the flag allows her to do. As a citizen of the United States of America, she can voice her opinions — even if they are unpopular — without the fear of severe consequences. If a person can legally burn a flag, then Smith should be able to do something much less harmful by refusing to recognize it before a basketball game. It's amazing to me how little the flag means to a lot of people until something happens that forces them to care about it. Before the attack on our country in 2001, people used the flag more as a fashion statement than a real symbol of patriotism. But now suddenly everyone is digging in his attic, dusting off his flag. I don't agree with Smith's actions, but I can understand why she feels the way she does. Like so many other athletes, she is making a statement on the court. But this time, it's not about sports. I empathize with the furious spectators, some who have fought for my freedom and truly love the American flag. She is being an American. It's more important than that.

Below Bruce and Stock bring you their expectations for the game. Coming off a 21-point loss Saturday at Missouri, the Jayhawks' spirits are down and are desperately in need of a rejuvenating victory. There is a good chance that victory will come tonight against Iowa State. On Jan. 11, Kansas narrowly lost 72-70 at Ames in a game they simply let slip away. The Cyclones are not the national power they were last season, and Kansas is trying to fight Look for freshman forward Tamara Ransburg and sophomore guard Aquanita Burras to lead the charge and keep senior guard Lindsey Wilson and sophomore guard Anne O'Neil at bay. With a victory, Kansas would move to 11-16 on the year,4-12 in the Big 12 Conference, and more importantly, one step closer to a positive ending to the season. its way off the ropes. Tonight's game could be the culmination of the entire season for the Jayhawks Brian Bruce A victory against Iowa State would advance their record to 11-16 overall and 4-12 in Big 12 and boost their confidence as they gear up for next year.

This should take pressure off sophomore guard Blair Waltz and sophomore guard Stacey Becker on the outside to hit shots around the perimeter. The game proves to be one that definitely can be won by the Jayhawks. Iowa State fronts a record of 11-16 overall, which has been blemished losing 5 of their last seven games. The Cyclones also have only one victory on the road this year, so don't expect their best game of the season. Nathan Stock Mizzou football startspractice The Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. — Gary Pinkel has seen the progress in practice. He has seen his team improve in fundamentals and quickness. Now, the Missouri coach wants to see progress where it counts. When Pinkel came to Missouri from Toledo after the 2000 season, he inherited a team that had gone 3-8. Since, his Tigers have improved to 4-7 in 2001 and 5-7 in 2002. With the return of freshman standout quarterback Brad Smith, Pinkel hopes the Tigers will bring a new attitude into spring practices. This place is drastically different right "To be very blunt, I want to see the progress in wins and losses," Pinkel said Monday as he prepared for the start of spring practices on Thursday. "That's the way I want to see it, that's what Gary Pinkel wants to see. "You think my fans want to see it? You think my players want to see it? I want to see it. This has been a tough two years for me." M now than it was the day I walked in here, thank God." Pinkel said. "I think there's a little bit more enthusiasm around here in general. We've had to go through a process, and when I took this job I knew I was going to have to do this. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, I was not naive." One of the biggest fights of the spring will be for backup quarterback. Smith Players took physical exams Monday and Tuesday. They'll enter Thursday's first practice looking to analyze schemes on offense, defense and special teams. Pinkel and his staff will evaluate personnel, which they hope to sort out before the spring's 15 practices are complete. Some changes have already been made. Brandon Barnes, who shared time at free safety with Marcus King in 2002, will open the spring as a linebacker. Former tight end Earl Stephens has moved to defensive line. More changes could come before the spring ends, Pinkel said became only the second Division I-A player to run for 1,000 yards and throw for 2,000 last season, and he has three years of eligibility remaining. Scrambling for the No. 2 spot are sophomore Sonny Riccio and redshirt freshmen Brandon Coleman, Josh Hibbets and David Overstreet Jr. Smith said the improvement last season including several close losses to ranked opponents has raised expectations. "There's a great deal of excitement," Smith said. "The anticipation of us having a good year makes us want to come out and have a great year. The expectation is pushing us." The Tigers will also look to replace two lost starters on the defensive line, Keith Wright and Antwaun Bynum. Missouri lost two cornerbacks and an outside safety from a secondary that ranked 113th out of 117 Division I-A teams last season in pass defense. So, defensive personnel will be key for Pinkel. "Are there any specific concerns at any specific areas?" Pinkel said. "Yeah, all of them." Terry Allen to remain with Cyclones Bv Jeff Raasch iowa State Daily, Iowa State University via U-WIRE AMES, Iowa — One will stay, one will go. ISU football administrative assistant Mike Woodley has decided to take a job offer from Sam Rayburn High School in Pasadena, Texas. But associate head football coach Terry Allen will remain with the Cyclones after receiving interest from North Dakota State about its vacant head coaching position. Woodley was the first person head coach Dan McCarney hired to his staff when he took over at Iowa State in 1995. The Waterloo native spent three years as a linebackers coach and four years in charge of the tight ends before becoming an administrative assistant last season. In his most recent position, he had direct oversight of Iowa State's summer football camps. Woodley's position will not be replaced. His son, Joe Woodley, who pulled double duty for the Cyclones last season as a linebacker and fullback, will be a senior on the team this fall. "Mike wanted to be a head coach again," McCarney said. "The loyalty of the Woodley family to ISU goes beyond words. We will miss his contributions to our program but miss him even more as a friend." woodley was head coach at West Des Moines Valley High School before coming to Iowa State. Allen joined the Cyclones last March after spending four seasons at Kansas. Before that, Allen led Northern Iowa to seven conference titles and two semifinal berths in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. He said he would enjoy the challenge to build off the recent success ISU football has enjoyed. The Cyclones have been to three straight bowl games for the first time in their history. "North Dakota State was a great opportunity," Allen said. "It has great leadership from an outstanding president and athletic director. Ultimately, I enjoy being here with Dan McCarney as we build on the success of the last three seasons." McCarney, who knew Allen while both of them were growing up in Iowa City, said Allen was a valuable resource. Allen will continue to coach the tight ends. McCarney told the Daily Iowa earlier this year that he hoped each assistant would return to the team. "We're hoping to keep this staff intact and keep the continuity going," McCarney said on Jan. 11. But he realized the opportunity Woodley was faced with. Texas is known for the quality of its high school football. Pasadena is just minutes from downtown Houston. "He missed being a head coach and for him to get a position as the leader of a Texas Class 5A school is a great opportunity." McCarney said.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B Royals' Quinn optimistic about recovery Hamstring injury may sideline outfielder for a few games The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. — Mark Quinn is optimistic he will miss only a few Kansas City Royals' spring training games after hurting his hamstring. Quinn, who tore his left hamstring last June, aggravated the injury while running to first base in the Royals' 8-7 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Monday. "It's not feeling too bad," Quinn said Tuesday. "This is good news. I've kind of been through this before. There's a big knot of scar tissue on the back of my hamstring." "The thing is, the strength in the hamstring is 100 percent. That wouldn't be the case if it was a muscle or tendon problem," Quinn said. Quinn and trainer Nick Swartz said it was likely the aggravation was the result of scar tissue breaking down. Swartz said it was "very likely" "That's the goal." Swartz said. Quinn could return to the lineup by this weekend. Quinn was scheduled for an MRI Tuesday, but it might be a few days before the Royals have conclusive reports. "They just want to make sure it is scar tissue," Quinn said. "All the symptoms that I have heard from the doctor and trainers say that it is scar tissue." Quinn hit 294 with 20 home runs and 78 RBIs as a rookie in 2000, but played only 23 games last season because of injuries. He had "It is frustrating," Quinn said. "I've got to the point where I've got to deal with it. It was a pretty traumatic injury to that area." a setback with the hamstring while playing winter ball in Puerto Rico. Carlos Febles, who was hit in the left hand by a pitch to lead off the game Monday, did not play Tuesday against Oakland, but did take part in on-the-field activities, including batting practice. "He's got a little swelling in his right finger, but overall he's a lot better than it initially looked like," Swartz said. Wells won't waive no-trade clause TAMPA, Fla. — David Wells won't waive the no-trade clause in his contract if the New York Yankees attempt to trade him after embarrassing revelations in his new book. "I can say yes, but I'm not a fool. I'm not waiving it," he said yesterday at Yankees' spring training camp. Wells has a complete no-trade clause in the $7 million, two-year contract he agreed to with the Yankees before the 2002 season. The New York Post reported yesterday that Wells, after details of his book became known, had told the team he would waive the no-trade clause if the team wanted to get rid of him. The 39-year-old left-hander could be punished by the team for writing an autobiography that general manager Brian Cashman said "tarnishes the Yankees' image." Wells apologized to Cashman Saturday and addressed his teammates Sunday about the book, "Perfect I'm Not! Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches & Baseball." The Associated Press NBA players face pre-Olympic testing The Associated Press COPENHAGEN, Denmark NBA players on Olympic teams will face out-of-competition, random drug tests for the 2004 Athens Games starting July 1 as part of a global program that is expected to be approved today. Under the system, which applies to athletes in all Olympic sports, drug testers can show up unannounced at a player's house at any time to ask for a sample. This is the first time NBA stars will face such comprehensive, pre-Olympic testing, U.S. drug officials said. "There will be no differentiation between a team handball athlete and an NBA professional," said Terry Madden, chief executive officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The NBA and other U.S. professional leagues are not formally covered by the World Anti-Doping code being completed at a three-day drug summit here.The code set outs uniform drug-testing rules and sanctions across all sports and countries. Pro leagues are only "encouraged" to comply, because they aren't under the jurisdiction of international sports federations or national governments. But proathletes wishing to take part in the Olympics are subject to the same pre-games testing as other competitors. Players on the U.S. roster or contending for spots on the Athens team will be part of a pool of athletes subject to testing. The program is similar to what NHL players faced before the Salt Lake City Olympics. NBA players have been in the Olympics since the first Dream Team at the 1992 Barcelona Games. "We've been through it before with the NHL players, and it worked well," Madden said. "I think they can relate to the NBA and tell them that everything is done properly." The NBA players'union had no comment yesterday except to say it was reviewing the new policy. U. S. players had to take random drug tests at training sites in Hawaii and Australia before the 2000 Sydney Olympics. NBA players also were subject to out-of-competition controls before last year's world championships in Indianapolis, where the United States finished sixth. USA Basketball, the national governing body, said this is the first time players will be eligible for testing so far before the games and away from the playing venues. "It's something the USOC has encouraged and been pushing for," USA Basketball spokesman Craig Miller said. "It's a requirement." Last month, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Tracy McGrady and Tim Duncan were selected to the 12-man team. Kobe Bryant, Mike Bibby and Karl Malone are also expected to join, with the rest of the roster to be announced in the spring. The team will compete in a qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico in August. If the Americans finish among the top three, they earn a trip to Athens. The U.S. Olympic Committee, the White House Drug Control Policy Office and the U.S. AntiDoping Agency back the new code. Edward Jurith, general counsel of the White House office, called the code a "significant step forward" but said the U.S. government was not in a position to influence the pro leagues. 12:45pm & 5:15pm Woodruff Auditorium at The Union 8:00pm & 10:00pm, St. Lawrence Chapel + St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center 1631 Crescent Rd.

By Vince Kuppig Daily Nebraskan, University of Nebraska via U-wire Bv Vince Kuppia Curves After the Cornhuskers, now ranked 14th, erupted for 28 runs while attaining a perfect 3-0 in Minneapolis over the weekend. NU coach Mike Anderson could find few holes in his team's play. LINCOLN, Neb. — Now that leadoff hitter Jeff Leise is starting to hit, Nebraska's baseball team needs someone to follow in his footsteps. www.curvesforwomen.com Hewould, however, like to see a consistent No. 2 hitter in the lineup.

Anderson said. "The auditions are still happening." Juniors Drew Anderson and Bubbs Merrill, and sophomore Daniel Bruce each batted behind Leise, NU's tourney MVP who went 7-for-15 with two homers and two triples at the Metropome. During the same span, NU's two-hole hitter went 4-for-13 with only one RBI. "That's got to be a guy that can Lately, Leise has had no problem getting on.

"If Leise doesn't get on, we need to get the two-hole hitter on." Even though Leise was batting 182 through NU's first five games, Anderson said the co-captain wasn't really in a slump. box score — a 4-for-5 performance against Louisiana Tech on Feb. 23 — came from his worst-looking at-bats, Anderson said. Leise's best day according to the "The first two weekends, I can count six line drives he hit that were caught," he said. "He was swung it well. He never panicked." Leise has gotten the Huskers off to great starts in the last few games. Leise started a game with Notre Dame (then No. 14) with a homer on Friday. On Sunday, Leise hit a triple immediately against Minnesota. It's up to the two-hole hitter to continue Leise's starts, Anderson said. FDA to require ephedra warning labels By Erin Saylor Michigan Daily, University of Michigan via U-WIRE ANN ARBOR, Mich — Labels indicating risks of heart attacks, seizures or death will now be required for all products containing the herbal supplement ephedra, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced last Friday. The decision follows the death of Baltimore Orioles prospective pitcher Steve Bechler on Feb. 17 that was linked to the use of a supplement containing ephedra. Major League Baseball decided this week to ban ephedra use in its minor league divisions. The National Football League, the International Olympic Committee and the National Collegiate Athletics Association already prohibit the use of ephedra. "We want to caution all Americans — particularly athletes and those who engage in strenuous activities — about using dietary supplements that contain ephedra," said Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson in a written statement. Ephedra as an herbal supplement is often found in many over the-counter products designed to help lose weight, enhance sports performance and increase energy. ephedra — indicating it could cause problems with first-time users. The FDA said there was increased risk for ephedra users under the age of 18 who exercise frequently or use caffeine or other stimulants. They added that health problems were not only limited to those who had extended use of A recent study released by RAND Corp., a governmentfunded think tank, shows ephedra can lead to higher risks of heart palpitations, tremors and insomnia. A study released last week reviewed more than 16,000 adverse events reports involving ephedra, including two deaths, four heart attacks, nine strokes, one seizure and five psychiatric cases, said American Medical Association Trustee Ron Davis.

Dummit Daily Texan, University of Texas via U-WIRE Serving KU Wearing a shoulder-brace that would make Robocop jealous, Erskin torched Seton Hall for 23 second-half points on 8-for-8 shooting on Nov. 30. Barnes After leading the Longhorns in scoring during last year's NCAA tournament, Erskin had high hopes for his second and final season in Austin. The soft-spoken swingman from Gonzales, Texas, began the season in the training room with a serious shoulder injury, but played through the pain to provide the Texas frontline with its quickest offensive threat and its best defensive post player. post-game comments summed up Erskin's worth: "Deg is the heart and soul of this team." AUSTIN, Texas — Deginald Erskin, Terrell Ross and Chris Ogden. While they're not the first three names that come to mind when people think of Texas basketball, they are the three men on the Longhorn roster who embody everything admirable about the program Rick Barnes has established in just five years. Two weeks later, Erskin's heart and soul would be violently jostled with the unexpected passing of his mother, Marie. Only months away from becoming the first Erskin to graduate from college, he was forced to deal with a loss unimaginable to those who haven't experienced it firsthand. "It's something you're never prepared for, but I'm just trying to deal with it still today," Erskin said. "It's been tough, but I can't say enough about my teammates and how they've helped me through the process." Making matters worse, Erskin injured his ankle in practice just days after his mother's death. To this day the ankle prohibits him from using the explosiveness and agility that made him a mainstay in the Texas starting lineup. Personally and physically, Erskin's year has been anything but easy. "I've never been around a tougher person. People throw that word around, but I mean it with the utmost respect. You've got to think that somewhere down the road through life things are going to work out for him," Barnes said. "His mother would be proud." Terrell Ross has encountered similar setbacks, although to a lesser degree, in his two years in Austin. In a pick-up game just before last season began, Ross came down awkwardly from a dunk, resulting in face lacerations, a concussion, an injured knee, an injured ankle and an injured foot. Ross was a junior college All-American playing in his home state of Maryland, but the lure of country music and cowboy boots was too strong to resist. Aside from the inevitable culture shock, the former All-American had to learn what it was like to come off the bench behind the nation's best point guard. "Coming off the bench is tough because you have to adjust to the crowd noise and the momentum of the game," Ross said. "But this program is at a different level, and I've learned a lot basketball-wise." The Associated Press Three of the top five seeded players were knocked out in the first round of the Match Play Championship, and everyone started trying to figure out how to bring stability to golf's most unpredictable event.

Today is a 6. Shortages only make the game more interesting. You can get by on less than most people. Congratulate yourself as you do it again. HOROSCOPES You should be able to express yourself pretty well this year. Words aren't your only form of communication, either. Music, film, color and form are all mediums you can use. And you might even find a way to draw a fat paycheck for your efforts. Today's Birthday (March 5) Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. What you lack in financial resources, you more than make up for in good looks and charm. You might get the financial resources, too, but not if you goof off on the job. Gemini (May21-June21). Today is a 7. You don't have to figure everything out by yourself. It's OK to ask for an expert's help. And let your team cover for you on a tough job. Save your energy for later. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is an 8. You may have to thread your way through a minefield to achieve your goal. Not a problem, right? You have a natural talent for locating hot spots and skirting around them. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 5. A demanding older person may be getting you down, but odds are good you don't let it show. You're earning your keep. It'll get easier soon. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 6. A little competitiveness is good. It gets you going. Try not to get angry. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 9. You're pretty gung-ho, and you're lucky. Your odds of winning are high, but you aren't the only one on the team. Make sure teammates get some applause. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5. If you're in the business of caring for other people's money, watch out. Have the facts straight. And stay cool even if others don't. 25c though. That dulls your edge and messes up your timing. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a7. This is another good evening for talking and not talking — preferably the latter, in the company of somebody you love, in the privacy of your own home. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8. State your position forcefully, and you'll get your message across. You don't have to be the loudest one. Your certainty is persuasive. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7. If you hit the books, you may find the puzzle piece you're after. A loved one with more experience can point you in the right direction. Pisces(Feb.19-March20), Today is a 7. Money is only a concept. It can be created and destroyed. If some of yours was destroyed recently, you have your motivation. Don't give up.

Olympic sponsors wary of Committee's turmoil The Associated Press DENVER — Corporate sponsors that give about $50 million annually to the U.S. Olympic Committee are keeping a close eye on its disarray. While few will comment publicly, many sponsors have expressed concern in private conversations with USOC officials. "We've made clear with them that we want them to get their house in order." Xerox representative Carl Langsenkamp said. "The Olympic focus needs to be on the athletes, and it shouldn't be on issues affecting the USOC." Sponsorships are the USOC's No.1 source of funding in non-Olympic years, and they rank second to TV rights fees when there are Olympics. They account for roughly 40 percent of the USOC's budget. And with many sponsorship contracts set to expire after the 2004 Athens Games, now is not the best time for turmoil. "I if we don't get this settled down, I think there's going to be a decrease in corporate sponsors," Colorado Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a 1964 Olympian in judo, told a gathering at USOC headquarters last week. "And you're all going to get hurt." Since the spiraling scandal started with a conflict-of-interest investigation of CEO Lloyd Ward late last year, eight USOC officials have resigned. The departed include Ward, president Marty Mankamyer and ethics compliance officer Pat Rodgers. Chief Operating Officer Fred Wohlschlaeger stepped down Monday night. The USOC has formed a task force that is to report reform recommendations to the full board "The Olympic focus needs to be on the athletes, and it shouldn't be on issues affecting the USOC" Carl Langsenkamp Xerox spokesman during an April meeting. Campbell is one of three U.S. senators who appointed an independent commission to recommend changes by the end of June. John Hancock Financial Services chief executive David D'Alessandro, who testified to Congress about the USOC, has said that he may activate a morals clause to negate his sponsorship contract,worth about $10 million a year. In a letter to USOC officials this year, he wrote, "It is no longer possible to overlook the seemingly nonstop turmoll and controversy that afflict your organization." The USOC does have at least one reason to take heart, though, according to Helen Jefferson Lenskyj, a sports sociology professor at the University of Toronto: Corporate officials love being able to use the fivering Olympics logo in marketing. "It's probably the most recognized logo in the world, so they wouldn't want to forfeit their right to the dance," Lenskyj said. In the four-year period ending Dec. 31, 2000, corporate sponsorships brought in about $173.7 million, a little less than 40 percent of the USOC's total quadrennial budget. The value of sponsorships was about $2 million in 2001 — the last year for which figures were available—including an unidentified portion from value-in-kind sponsorships, in which goods or services were provided rather than cash. At the height of the Salt Lake City bribery scandal, one sponsor, Blue Cross Blue Shield, commissioned polls that showed people were more concerned with the use of performance-enhancing drugs than scandals. The polls also showed a majority of respondents believed that sponsors had a positive effect on the Olympics, and 77 percent said they felt more positive about companies that paid to be Olympic sponsors. "Certainly these types of issues do come and they go." Blue Cross Blue Shield representative Iris Shaffer said. "And both the media and the American public have a short attention span."

The participants said they were excited and nervous about the upcoming performance. "I was getting nervous toward the beginning of the week, but I think we really pulled it together," said Kyle Monson, Leawood senior and Sigma Nu Rock Chalk director. Each of the group's directors have been preparing since August. Left: Shannon Bell, Albuquerque, N.M., junior and Alpha Gamma Delta member, puts makeup on Scotty Karin, Overland Park junior and Lambda Chi Alpha member, before their rehearsal. The two were preparing to perform in their show, "The Comeback Squid." "It's different being a director," said Matthew Allen, Overland Park junior and Pi Kappa Phi Rock Chalk director. "You're not just worried about yourself; you're worried about the entire show." About 250 participants have been working since January to complete 50 hours of required rehearsal time. Amy Lee, Topeka senior and executive director of Rock Chalk Revue, said groups were well prepared for the upcoming performances.

That was almost a year ago, and Pluth is still waiting for one of those on-campus centers to start caring for her child. As it turns out, so are a lot of other parents on campus. "I've had him on the list since July and they said I might get a spot next fall," Pluth said. "To have to wait more than a year for child care is ridiculous." Pluth is not alone in her plight to find child care at one of the two centers that "I've had him on the list since July and they said I might get a spot next fall. To have to wait more than a year for child care is ridiculous." Lisanne Pluth La Jolla, Calif., graduate student receive student funding on campus. The Hilltop Child Development Center was founded to offer child care to families of KU students, faculty and staff. The Sunnyside Infant-Toddler Center, in the Dole Human Development Center, was designed to offer child care to those families and the Lawrence community in general. Both are woefully short of space when it comes to caring for toddlers like Christopher. "One and 2-year-olds have the longest waiting list and it's the hardest list to get on," said Hilltop executive director Pat Pisani. "People get their children on that list when they're 3 months old." The Sunnyside Infant-Toddler Center starts accepting children into its program at 3 months old, said program assistant Wendy Swartz. The problem is only nine spots are available for those infants up to 15 months old. Though the demand for more child care was there, the center, staffed by students pursuing human development and family life degrees, couldn't expand if it wanted to, Swartz said. department and they have regulations that only allow three infants for every one teacher." Swartz said. "We're governed by the state health The lack of space to care for infants and toddlers plagued the Hilltop Center for years, said vice provost and former Hilltop board member Lindy Eakin. The situation reached a critical point a few years ago when there was demand to expand the building, leased from the University of Kansas for $1 per year since the early '70s. Until the expansion, Student Senate granted about $15,000 annually to the center to provide scholarships for children of KU students. With no more money available to help the center's expansion, Student Senate approved an SEE CHILDCARE ON PAGE 8A Institute's opener to focus on WW II vets By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kangan staff writer Graduation ceremony — small potatoes. Jersey retirement ceremony — virtually insignificant. The Dole Institute of Politics dedication ceremony in July could be the biggest thing anyone has seen in Lawrence. Ever. The event will encompass three days, from July 20 until the actual dedication on July 22. Richard Norton Smith, the director of the institute, said it would be a salute, not so much to former senator Bob Dole himself, but to the entire World War II generation. Dole made it clear that he does not want the ceremony to be focused on him, but instead on the 'greatest generation' — the entire World War II generation, Smith said. "We want to keep the focus on that group, and have a time to say thank you," he said. The ceremony will have 14 events during the three days, including an ongoing World War II veteran reunion, an air show above the institute, an evening of dancing with the Glenn Miller Orchestra at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Dr., and a "Salute to the Heroes," a United Service Organization-style show, and star-studded salute to the World War II generation. "It's going to be something," said Erik Nelson, assistant director of the institute. "Any one of these events is great, but altogether people won't be able to resist." The orchestral performance and "Salute to the Heroes" will be ticketed events, with tickets going on sale April 1. They will be $40 and $35, respectively. All other events will be free and open to the public. Smith said the first goal was to honor the veterans, but the second was to involve the public. "We want to make it as accessible, affordable and inviting as possible," he said. The actual dedication ceremony will be at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 22, which is also Dole's 80th birthday.

Few can say they've lived long enough, however, to be around for all four KU national championships. THE FILM RELEASES IN THEaters ONLY IN MEMORY OF JOHN R. KENNEDY A DONALD J. KENNEDY MEMORIAL HOME 1947-2015 "The number one thing they live for is KU basketball," said Misty Beck, Wilma's granddaughter and Opal's great niece. Wilma and Opal live in Pratt, a town of about 6,800 in south central Kansas. Sixteen years ago, the women, who are sisters and widowers, decided to move in together. It was then that their obsession with the sport began. Wilma Beck and Opal Hemphill didn't follow KU basketball back in 1922, 1923 and 1952 - they had school to attend and children to raise. But Wilma, 91, and Opal, 97, don't miss a game these days. "We have watched KU because they are a nice, clean-cut, sportsman-like team," Wilma said. "And we also like the coach." Opal said the two women played basketball in high school and one of their children played basketball for Pratt Community College, which may have sparked their interest in the sport. Family members are amused at how dedicated these women are to their KU basketball, Misty said. "You can't go to their house during a game unless you're going to sit down and watch it with them," Misty said. Wilma said the rumor was true. The two women recently purchased a 35-inch television, Wilma said, so they could clearly see the score and the players' jerseys. "We suggest to our relatives that they shouldn't call or stop by during a basketball game," she said. When asked what would be acceptable reasons for missing a game, Wilma said it would have to be "illness or something drastic." "Our eyesight isn't what it used to be," Wilma said. But last year, even illness didn't stop these women from watching their favorite team. Opal suffered a heart attack and had to be taken to the hospital. The women couldn't recall which game it was, but they do remember how adamant Opal was at the time. "Opal had to have a TV brought into ICU." Wilma said. Misty said the family was worried because Opal had been in intensive care for two days, and they were afraid she wouldn't pull through. "When she still had to watch the game, we knew she was going to make it," Misty said. "She wasn't sick enough to miss a game." The KU team members are like family for these women. Both said they were concerned about Wayne Simien and his injured shoulder.

Kansas triumphed 85-45 in the Feb. 26 game. "We look on Roy as our son and the players as our grandsons," Opal said. Opal and Wilma said they looked forward to the upcoming NCAA tournament. They said they wished the team the best of luck. Although these two women have never been to a KU game, they said it seemed like they were there each time they settled in for a night of basketball. "We feel that we have a front-row-center seat right here in our family room," Wilma said.

CAMPUS Student walkout postponed; to be held today at Wescoe Because of inclement weather, the student walkout planned at the University of Kansas was postponed until today. Professors were encouraged with emails and letters from Students for Peace members to cancel classes between 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and to walk out of classes with their students or have teach-ins educating students about the events surrounding the war. Thirty to 40 students still gathered in front of Wescoe Hall yesterday to be part of the national strike, said Amanda Flott, Omaha junior who helped organize the protest. Some of the students said they were affiliated with local peace organizations, others came because professors canceled classes and some came because they did not know about the change, Flott said. Many of the people who were going to participate in the strike yesterday told Flott they would be there today to send the anti-war message. -Kellev Weiss Senate withdraws proposal, plans to reintroduce bill later A bill that proposed that 80 students be chosen at random to be senators was withdrawn from last night's Senate committee meetings. The bill stated that the Office of Admissions would choose the senators.Those senators would elect the student body president and vice president.A $100 stipend would compensate the senators per semester. Sam Pierron, non-traditional senator and bill sponsor, said the bill was satirical, not mocking. "It was an attempt to get people to think why they are in Student Senate and do the things they do."Pierron said. Pierron said he wrote the bill to curb problems in Senate elections such as "shameless self-promotion." — Cate Batchelder Pierron withdrew the bill so other bills could receive more attention at the committee meetings, but he said he planned to bring the bill back in the next legislative cycle. LAWRENCE Charges filed in bar brawl others may be charged After nearly three months of investigation and review,charges were filed last week in the case of a fight outside Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., when a Lawrence man was knocked unconscious. John T. Simmons, a 30-year-old Lawrence resident, was charged with four counts of battery and one count of disorderly conduct for his involvement in the fight. Simmons is not accused of hitting Jeffrey Medis, a bystander who was knocked unconscious. It is unclear whether the four men Simmons is accused of striking are suspected of hitting Medis, a 28-year-old Lawrence resident. Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney said the cases of each person in the fight would be handled separately because of the number of people involved, but she declined to say whether others would be charged. Simmons was outside the Replay Lounge when he began speaking with a group of passersby. The exchange led to a brawl in which Medis suffered a concussion, a broken nose, a fractured eye socket and a jaw broken in two places. After the incident, Medis, who is gay, claimed he was the victim of a beating because of his sexual orientation. Lawrence police have since determined that his sexual orientation was not a factor in the attack.

That should be the student response after hearing Student Senate's proposal to name the new recreation center after the only noninterim University of Kansas chancellor not to have a building named after him. Chancellor Laurence Chalmers. Chalmers' tenure began after Clarke Wescoe's departure in the midst of campus unrest and continued through one of the most turbulent chapters of KU's history. Chalmers' governance of the campus in the midst of remarkable political opposition cost him an extended stay at KU but quite possibly saved the University from disaster. In 1970, less than three weeksafter the Kansas Union was set aflame, finals were suspended. Francis Heller, the vice chancellor of academic affairs, observed that "while KU had not closed, it certainly had not continued normal operations." The choice to continue with classes as normal or cancel them fell upon then Chancellor Chalmers. On the one hand, the radical KU Students for a Democratic Society. Black Student Union and a cross section of students supported an immediate conclusion of the semester. Opposition came from Board of Regents who stated that the "University would remain open." Similarly, Kansas Gov. Robert Docking declared that he would "not tolerate the closing of any campus institution." Chalmers compromised with the two extreme positions and satisfied neither of them. It was in the midst of this controversy and against the surreal backdrop of late '60s protests that Chalmers received recognition from more than 8,000 students for preventing the "University of Kansas from becoming another Berkeley." Nearly 200 faculty on campus applauded Chalmers' handling of the final situation. Unfortunately, the response of those in charge was less than congratulatory. Gov. Docking, whose previous struggles with Chancellor Franklin Murphy were well publicized 10 years earlier, publicly disapproved of Chalmers' decision to forego finals. The affair came only weeks after Chalmers was lambasted by the state media for criticizing the city wide curfew as "inimical to the purposes of a distinguished university." Months earlier he had stated to a group of Kansas City businessmen that "the war in Vietnam is perceived by our students as politically unjustifiable and morally indefensible, and I agree with them on both accounts." However, Chalmers was unafraid to stand up to students, as on May 8, 1970, when he denied campus radicals the opportunity to take control of convocation at Memorial Stadium. The fact that a chancellor, in Kansas no less, walked such a fine line is truly remarkable. Despite the accolades of the students and faculty, displaying courage that, as last semester's opinion editor Maggie Koerth wrote last fall, "saved this University from becoming another Kent State." Chalmers became despised by the regents and Gov. Docking. The regents almost impeached him twice. This is not to suggest that more recent administrations have rejected Chalmers' achievements or contribution to the University; however we should be leery of forgetting personal sacrifices made on KU's behalf. While the naming of a building is merely symbolic, it provides a vital spark of interest in the past. Naming the recreation center after "the forgotten Chancellor" is a small step toward instilling an appreciation that the Union is standing today. Many would agree that Chalmers has no small role in that fact. Greg Holmquist for the editorial board 1936: 2003: DON'T WURRY... HE'Z NOHT GOHNA DO EN•NEEZING... BON APPETIT! LOOK! THERE! J. Michael Nagle with William Lamborn for The University Daily Kannan Counter-protest misconstrued PERSPECTIVE Three articles, one editorial cartoon and many Free for All comments are getting wrong that the "procapitalism" rally held Feb. 22 at Taco Bell was sponsored by the University of Kansas College Republicans. The KU College Republicans never sponsored the rally. As a point of information, not all who attended were College Republicans or even Republics for that matter.I am a proud member of the organization,but I never invited the College Republicans to sponsor the event. As organizer of the pro-capitalism rally, I did, however, invite presidents of the KU College Republicans and the KU Objectivists to have a part in it. Many members of College Republicans expressed an interest in and support for the activity at meetings and via e-mail. Likewise, Rachel Bernard, president of KU Objectivists, told me that the interest was within her group as well. Lindsay Poe opinion@hansan.com Those who know me know I'm a warm and caring individual. Why, then, did I put together such an event? Checking my e-mail on Feb. 2, one subject heading grabbed my attention. It was titled, "We'd Rather Go Hungry Than Eat Sweatshop Tacos." Not recognizing the sender, I opened the e-mail expecting to find some amusing story inside. Instead, I found two local organizations, Lawrence Industrial Workers of the World and the Organization of Lawrence Anti-Imperialists, were coordinating the Lawrence part of the The e-mail included an article about the protests. GUEST COMMENTARY 图 An excerpt read, "The tomatoes Taco Bell buys for its tacos and chalupas are produced in what can only be described as sweatshop conditions," said Lucas Benitez of the Coalition of Immokalee, Fla. Workers, "Twenty years of picking a. sub-poverty wages, no right to overtime pay, no right to organize without fear of being fired, no health insurance, no sick leave, no paid holidays or paid vacation, and no pension is a national disgrace." national protest/boycott. Many people would find it appalling that such conditions exist in the United States. I might be counted among those who think this way. First of all, Taco Bell does not own the farms where the tomatoes are grown. Rather, the company purchases its tomatoes from Six-L. Packing Company. According to Six-L's Web site, it has "evolved into the largest single-company tomato grower/packer/shipper in the state of Florida, and one of the largest in the country." Taco Bell is not its only customer. In fact, many food companies buy these tomatoes. So why single out Taco Bell? Another interesting fact is that Six-L owns tomato farms in Florida, Georgia North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Yet only the Coalition of Immokalee, Fla. Workers is speaking out about this. Like the rest of the United States. Florida companies must pay workers minimum wage under federal law. The United States Department of Labor sets this wage at $5.15 per hour. If workers are not receiving minimum wage, they should organize and strike. If the workers can't organize for fear of losing their jobs, groups working on their behalf should find a lawyer and go to the courts. Take up a collection for the payment or find one who will do it pro-bono. The point behind this rally, which was separate from the protest, was not that anyone should work in "sweatshop" conditions for capitalism. Rather, it was to show the futility of the protest. By standing out there with our signs in favor of capitalism, we accomplished the same idea, and possibly more, than those who protested. Like the protesters, we raised awareness of our points of view but succeeded in changing nothing. And more importantly, we had a good lunch.

I just was wondering what the University of Kansas considers inclement weather? I am a pixie-stick whore. created by white males is undoubtedly true, but we must ask why this is. If you don't think like me, you're closed-minded and ignorant. Hey Kansan, what's with printing all this sexist crap on your opinion page? Do you really want everyone else in the world to think it's true, that Kansas really is totally backwards? 瞻 回 I've got 50 bucks on KU screwing up online enrollment. I find it ironic that despite the fact that the Kansan keeps printing editorials about how they think Taco Bell is pretty lame for underpaying their workers, they'll still accept their advertising dollars. Patriarchal idealism much alive in America GUEST COMMENTARY Inequitable pay is not as blatantly oppressive as female genital mutilation, which occurs in some countries, but oppression, no matter the severity, deserves attention. To proclaim that technology enabled women to leave their homes instead of the encouragement and consciousness-raising of feminists such as Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem is completely absurd. Laura Halstead opinion@kansan.com What held women back before the age of technology? If your answer is child care and lack of household time-saving convenience items, like the microwave, then you are misinformed. The assumption that household duties held women back only reinforces the notion that the private sphere is the domain of women and that once duties in the home are made easier by technology then women are better able to enter the public sphere of economics and politics. While women are venturing out, so to speak, home and child care are still considered women's duty. Why does this phenomenon occur? It is not because women are born better equipped to handle the domestic life but that men are simply unwilling to share the burden. Women with careers complete an overwhelming percentage of the household duties as compared with men who have careers, resulting in what is known as the "second shift." The comment that most inventions, like the light bulb and birth control are Women, as well as other minorities, have historically been denied access to the sciences. The birth control pill is in itself not oppressive; the harm derives from women's lack of reproductive education, perpetuated by politically funded abstinence-only education and the absence of coverage for birth control by health insurance companies. Without health care coverage, birth control is often unobtainable by the women who need it most and who, ironically enough, are the same women society criticizes for becoming welfare mothers. The notion that the United States is rid of negative attitudes towards women also is an incredibly alarming statement. Sexual stereotypes persist, despite studies that show the gender gap to be practically invisible, and the gap that does exist is highly suspect to the influence of socialization differences between the sexes. Women are not the perpetrators of stereotypes such as "Women are not capable of reason," or "Women's place is in the home." Women have the right to choose to stay at home and, yes, even to be an intoxicated sorority girl, but these same women should not be judged and devalued because of those decisions. The so-called oft-repeated whopper that "women earn 70 cents to a man's dollar" is not a tall tale perpetuated by angry feminists. This figure is taken from women's salaries in comparison to equitable work done by men. I will not argue that women are the dominant workers in fields such as nursing and elementary education and that indeed these positions are low-paying. All this information does is show that these positions are highly undervalued and unappreciated. As a society, we are sending the message that care for children, the sick, and the elderly are not valuable services when perhaps they should be. There are firm facts that as women move into positions that have been traditionally male-dominated, the pay scale decreases and vice versa. If this does not show inequality, then I don't know what does. The statements made about the unequal concern for women as victims of violence over men as victims of violence are misleading as well. It is absolutely true that more men than women fall prey to violence, but the type of violence is significantly different. It is one thing to be a victim of violence from someone you do not know in an environment that you cannot control. It is an entirely different issue to be a victim of violence from someone you have a relationship with in your own home, which occurs to an overwhelming majority of women who are victims of violence. The blame is not on individual men but on the patriarchal system that has enveloped this country. What is even more important to recognize is that women are oppressed to no fault of their own. No one would say that an African American is at fault if another person were to discriminate based on the color of their skin, so why are women not afforded that same credibility? Women should be informed about issues that affect their lives, and if this means that feminists must harp on the gender disadvantage in our society in order to get the information out to the public, then so be it. The most important thing to acknowledge is that feminism does not mean anti-men. It is 100 percent possible to demand equal opportunity and treatment for women without discriminating against men. Feminists insist on arguing about gender because society, even American society, enforces the gender dichotomy where value is placed on the male sex. 1 Halstead is a Omaha, Neb., senior in business administration and women's studies 7 THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 NEWS ... THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A The written word as a form of art Zen Master entertains during his 15th annual University visit By Lauren Bristow lbristow@kansan.com kansan staff writer While demonstrating ink and brush calligraphy, Zen Master Fukushima Keido Roshi entertained nearly 100 people at the Spencer Museum of Art with witty remarks and stories of past university visits. During yesterday's demonstration, the Roshi, with the help of a translator, described each calligraphy piece after its completion. He retold a story about a visit at another university while describing his work, "Hey, What is This." "When I said 'Hey, What is This', a student at a previous university said, 'A doughnut," the Roshi said. The piece features a large Zen circle at the top of a white piece of paper followed by characters and seals. With his eyes closed, the Roshi would meditate briefly before mimicking his brush strokes in the air. He would then methodically ink a brush and draw the characters and finish using red-inked seals. The Roshi completed 10 pieces of calf. ligraphy during the two hour demonstration and answered questions from audience members during two question and answer periods. The Roshi told audience members of his love of coffee and chocolate, about his life growing up in Japan, and how calligraphy is a part of his life as the head abbot of the Tofuku Temple in Kyoto, Japan. "It's fascinating to watch him and to speak with him," said Stan Haehl, a University of Kansas employee. "I've seen Roshi's demonstration for the past three years." This was the Roshi's 15th annual visit to the University of Kansas. His first visit was in 1989 in conjunction with the museum exhibit, Art of Zen. "He influenced everyone because most of us had very little knowledge of Zen," said Andrea Norris, director of the Spencer Museum of Art. "He talks about Zen Buddhism and Japanese life in a way that we didn't realize existed." Sam Knowlton. Lawrence freshman, heard about the demonstration during his Aikido class. "It just sounded really interesting," Knowlton said. "I've heard people in the past say that it was pretty incredible, "He influenced everyone because most of us had very little knowledge of Zen." Andrea Norris Andrea Norris director of the Spencer Museum of Art so I came." As head abbot of the Tofuku Temple, the Roshi is head of 370 temples and a powerful person in Japan, Norris said during the Roshi's introduction. Two examples of his work are part of the museum's permanent collection and one was displayed behind the work area where the demonstration was held. During this year's visit, the Roshi spoke to East Asian and religious studies classes, as well as conducting meditative Zen settings. He will conclude his visit with a lecture, "Zen and Bridge," at 7 tonight at the auditorium in Spencer Museum. His lecture will most likely be about Zen Buddhism which he will connect to his love of bridges, Norris said. The Roshi will visit 32 universities during his travels this year. 手間炎 上杉隆文 契出室人 Scott Reynolds/Kansan - Edited by Brandon Gay Calligraphy by Zen Master Fukushima Keido Roshi is displayed after a demonstration yesterday at the Spencer Museum of Art.

JIMMYJOHNS.COM Students view film festival finalists Winning film features Hemenway, Campanile graduation legend By Lauren Bristow ibristow@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The winner of the University of Kansas' first iMovie Film Festival was announced last night and the winner's cast included Chancellor Robert Hemenway. Hemenway's brief appearance was part of the film, The Campan-evil, centered on the KU legend that walking through the Campanile prior to graduation would keep a student from graduating. A SMASHED MAC PRODUCTION "We went up to his office and talked to his secretary," said John Nguyen. Wichita senior, to the crowd of almost 200 people. "It was the day before the movie was due and she said 'We have a spot for you three weeks from now.'" Last night's viewing of original short films by KU student filmmakers concluded the first Nguyen and fellow filmmakers, Hung Nguyen and Mark Nola, Wichita seniors, and Ngan Vuong. Lawrence graduate student, poked their heads into the chancellor's office and asked for 30 seconds of his time and quickly shot the scene they needed. Nguyen said. Jared Soares/Kansan "The quality of the movies was at such a high level we wanted to show what these students had worked really hard on." "He was a little nervous about it." Nguyen said. Aaron Grill Apple campus representative iMovie Film Festival sponsored by Apple Computers and Student Union Activities. Seven film finalists were viewed by audience members instead of the originally planned three. "We weren't expecting 28 entries," said Aaron Grill, Apple campus representative. "The quality of the movies was at such a high level we wanted to show what these students had worked really hard on." Five judges, including two from KU Filmworks, two from SUA Spectrum Films and Grill, judged the entries based on editing, technical quality and original storyline. Stan Ethington, the regional Apple account executive, gave away T-shirts and hats while judges tabulated the results after the viewing. Students watch the introduction of this years's iMovie Film Festival sponsored by Apple Computers at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Twenty-four films were entered and three winners were chosen, with the film The Campan evil taking first prize. "You never quite know what you're getting into when you do something like this." Ethington said, "I thought there was some great stuff." Apple Computers donated two iPod portable MP3 players that were given away after the festival, as well as the seven cameras, four computers and prize money for winners. Grill said. Second runner-up. Backseat, received $150 and third place, The Adventures of Super Dane- ing James Brown, received $50. The Campan-elvil received $250. "A lot of people helped us put this together, so maybe the prize money will help us celebrate a little," Nguyen said. "But the stuffed Jayhawk toy in the movie was $70, so it will definitely help cover part of that." Edited by Julie Jantzer JEFFERSON COMMONS unique student apartments Now Leasing for Fall 2003!

A. 18 THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7A Web site, center assist house-hunting students Both resources aid off-campus housing search It's hunting season again apartment hunting, that is. Crunch time always seems to kick in right before spring break, right when it's time to unwind from all that responsibility. Then it dawns on you: Where in the heck am I going to live next year? Whether you're a freshman ready to flee the dorms or an off-campus resident looking to flee from your landlord, it's about time you started some serious searching. Sam Pierron, director of the off-campus living resource center, helps students find housing to suit their needs. The center is located on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union in the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center and can be contacted at 864-4164. Pierron gives apartment hunters an off-campus search guide, which outlines some key issues. First, the guide asks to determine the number of people you want to live with. This seems like common sense, but the number of rooms you will need limits your search options. The off-campus center offers roommate and sublease searches on its Web site, www.ku.edu/~oclc. Preliminary considerations aside, Pierron also gives students a list of questions they should consider when considering various living situations, such as: Is there enough parking? Is there enough closet space? Are the doors thick enough to stop sound? Does the complex or area feel safe to you? COMMON CENTS Nicole Roche nroche@kansan.com Crunch time always seems to kick in right before spring break, right when it's time to unwind from responsibility. Whether you're a freshman or an off-campus resident,it's time you started searching. The Lawrence Apartment Directory, which can be found outside local grocery stores or accessed at www.apartmentdirectory.com, provides future renters with a comprehensive directory of Lawrence apartments. This guide outlines what types of units are available,what features the complex offers,what utilities are paid for and what the complex's pet policy is.The guide also provides contact information and a map pinpointing the complex's location. Unfortunately the guide doesn't provide apartment prices, but that's leg work you can do once you've narrowed your choices. I recommend picking up one of these guides and marking it as you view various apartments. Otherwise, after two or three tours, it will be difficult to remember which apartment had the teal, flowery shutters, the blood stains on the carpet or the ridiculous $700 rent for a two-bedroom unit. Make sure to visit the unit more than once, especially if you think you've made your decision. The resource center's search guide recommends meeting someone in the complex and asking to compare his unit to the one you've been shown. The show unit will be, of course, in immaculate condition and it's best to face the reality of the situation before signing the lease. Also, the guide mentions, apartment complexes have a variety of plans and they won't necessarily tell you the differences if you don't ask. Beware of the customary apartment complex bluff, "we're almost out of units, so you'll need to make your decision now." Pierron said there was an overabundance of housing in Lawrence. The reason he recommends selecting a housing option now, he said, was to broaden students' options. "By locking your choice in early," he said. "You're much more likely to get what you want in terms of price, location and convenience." Reporter Nicole Roché covers a consumer issue each week. She is a Wichita senior in journalism.

KU BOOKSTORES 15 A --- 8A = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 One for all and all for one, fencing club duels for fun By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A University of Kansas student took a powerful stab at rekindling the KU fencing club. Brian McDow. Des Moines, Iowa, senior, rebuilt the fencing club in October 2001. McDow fences with and coaches the club C. W. McDow said because fencing was a mental game and required minimal physical strength, almost anyone could participate. Brandon Baker/Kansan "I'm 5-6 and 120 pounds and I'm pretty good," McDow said. "So really, any body types are acceptable." McDow began fencing five and a half years ago in his hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. Because the former KU fencing club was defunct, McDow took matters into his own hands. He filled out the necessary paperwork with the Student Organizations & Leadership Development Center the summer before his junior year and he had the club running by October. Brian McDow, Des Moines, Iowa, senior, coaches the fencing team on Wednesday and Thursday nights in Robinson Center. McDow has been fencing for more than five years and said he has adapted a unique, loose style of fencing that works best for him. Because the club's dues are only $25 per year, McDow said the biggest problem was a lack of funding for additional equipment. Aside from the weapons used, members of the club wear fencing shoes, knee-socks and knickers — which are similar to capri pants. Fencers also wear a mask, underarm protectors and a glove on their weapon hand. The club uses three weapons. The beginner weapon is a foil, a lightweight weapon that is used in the torso area. The club also uses a bigger, heavier weapon called an epee that was used in ancient, noble duels. The club's third weapon is a saber — a touch from any point on its blade scores in a duel, not just the tip as with the others. Because all of the weapons have rubber tips and the saber blade is blunt, the club has little injuries to boast about. On top of practicing twice a week at Robinson, the club performs demonstrations for girl scouts and area elementary schools. The club hosted a competition in November. Traditionally, fencing was for men only, but not at the University. Deborah Dalton, Topeka sophomore and fencing club president, said the women club members were the dominating ones. "I think the girls on the team actually push the guys around," Dalton said. Dalton said all the members of the club are close friends. MeDow is more than good friends with member Jessica Elser, Atchison sophomore. She and McDow met through the club last year and are engaged to be married in May. bers are planning on forming a sword arch at the wedding," McDow said. "It will be amusing." "I think that the other mem- - Edited by Todd Rapp Rock Chalk CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Wichita senior, said participating organizations were also encouraged to preform community service activities. She said each group's total service hours were due tomorrow and awards will be presented tonight to the groups with the greatest average amount of hours per member. Michael Rodriguez. Chicago senior and executive producer of the show, said performance winners would be announced at the end of Saturday night's performance, but the real accomplishment was the money raised for the Douglas County United Way. In the past five years Rock Chalk Revue has raised more than $190,000 for the organization. "The one financial goal is to at least reach what we have before," Rodriguez said. "I feel that all of our goals are being met." The Rock Chalk Advisory Board prefers to keep the monetary goal secret so it is a surprise when the total revenue is announced on Saturday.

"There are 33 1-year-old spots available for this fall and we already have more than we can take on the list," Pisani said. "KU students are always a priority, then it goes to faculty and staff, and we accept members of the community only when there's no demand from KU families at all." increase in student fees that allowed bonds to be sold for Hilltop's expansion. In return, Hilltop guaranteed that 65 percent of enrollees would be children of students. Eakin said. Numbers indicate the demand from KU students for infant and toddler care is one these two centers could never meet in the centers' current facilities. For those who aren't lucky enough to make the cut, Pisani and Swartz both urge families to contact the Douglas County Child Development Agency for a list of approved child care centers and home-based providers. While that agency can provide the approved list, it can't provide any of Hilltop's need-based scholarships that many student-parents require. "I worked before I came back to get my degree, so I have some funding set aside, but if I were an undergrad there's no way I could have gone to school," said Fluth, who estimated she spent $700 per month on child care. "I would've had to drop out." Edited by Andrew Ward Do You Have HAWK NIGHTS UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Cash Prizes Awarded! Do You Have Cash Prizes Awarded! What it Takes?

"I feel safe about going to the dental clinic," he said. "It is here at our school." Alex's school, McCoy Elementary School, on Tuesday became the first school in Missouri to offeran in-house dental and medical clinic. The Panda Place Wellness Center — named after the school's mascot — was dedicated Tuesday in honor of the late Gov. Mel Carmanan and physician Samuel U. Rodgers for their efforts to improve the health and welfare of children. The dental clinic has three chairs and will be staffed full time by Dr. Pat Mason-Dozier or her staff, a full-time hygienist and two dental assistants. The school has had a medical clinic for more than seven years. They currently are taking oral dental health histories from each of McCoy's 310 kindergarten through fifth-graders. Every student will then be treated, with priority given to those with the most serious problems. Students will be treated without regard to the parents' or guardians' ability to pay, said principal Jo Nemeth. About 95 percent of the parents with students in the school have signed up to use the clinic, she said. Plans are to expand the clinic's services to family members in its second year and to adults in the community in the third year, she said. Eventually, the dental clinic could serve up to 1,000 people. The school is on the city's east side, where there are few dental clinics and many people have trouble getting to the ones that do exist,Nemeth said. "So many of our kids have never been to formal dentists," Nemeth said. "We just waited for the right partnership. We wanted to do it right and make sure kids would not be turned away. It had to be for everyone." To lessen children's normal fears of a trip to the doctor or the dentist, the waiting room features chairs designed to appear as aliens, complete with silver antennae. Children will be able to have appointments during the school day, and parents can come to school to accompany them. Toothpaste and toothbrushes have been donated.

It is projected to have used nearly $400,000 of its $500,000 subsidy before ending its contract tomorrow. The city will use $900,000 from its $20.3 million cash reserves to guarantee revenues for Frontier under the new contract. The city also subsidizes AirTran Airlines, which exhausted $3 million in subsidies last year.

"This points out how important citizen involvement is, whatever the issue," said Sally Hatcher, president of the Kansas Preservation Alliance and a member of the local group, Veterans Administration of Leavenworth Opportunities for Re-use. "One person or a small group of people can make a big difference." The Pioneer Group of Topeka will oversee the redevelopment of the 38 buildings at the Eisenhower VA campus. Ross Freeman, the group's president, estimated the project would cost about $65 million and "It has been a long process," said Robert M. Malone Jr., director of the VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System. "Government officials, historic preservation groups and businesses have come together to allow the VA to achieve its goals of using health care money for veterans, expanding the National Cemetery and saving the historic buildings using non-VA money." take three years to complete. Freeman said the 72 acres on the VA campus include four parcels of land, some of which can be developed relatively quickly and others that will take longer. The first parcel involves five residential buildings, once used as housing for doctors and nurses. The plan is for historic preservation of those homes with the goal of using them for private rental residences, Freeman said. The second parcel involves five larger buildings that Freeman said could be preserved and used for small businesses and offices. The other two parcels, south of the hospital, are larger buildings, such as the former mess hall. Freeman expects those to take longer and require more money to develop. "There are a series of proposed uses for those," he said. "One would be a transitional living program, which is presently on the campus now, which would be enlarged to help relieve the load on the hospital for veterans after they complete their in-hospitalization period." School districts and colleges could also use some of the larger buildings, he said, and the auditorium — although not a historic building — could be used by theater groups or for meetings. Elected official removal examined The measure, which passed the Senate last week on a 36-3 vote, would eliminate incompetence as grounds for a potential recall TOPEKA — A House committee might take up a bill next week making it harder to recall elected officials, the panel's chairman says. The Associated Press and clarify the definition of misconduct for purposes of trying to remove an official from office. Also, local and state officials who review recall petitions could consider whether facts in a case merit such action. Currently, the secretary of state or county attorneys and election officers verify that the petitions are completed correctly. The bill is now before the House Ethics and Elections Committee, which could review it next week. Under current law, elected officials can be recalled for incompetence, a felony conviction, misconduct in office and failing to perform a legal duty prescribed by law. Great Bend newspaper to alter print schedule GREAT BEND -The Great Bend Tribune, which has published for 127 years will become a morning newspaper, beginning March 29. the newspaper also announced it will publish Tuesday through Saturday, dropping its current Sunday and Monday editions. Tribune Publisher Judy Murphy said the Sunday edition will be replaced by a Weekend Edition, to be published Saturday. The changes follow a trend in Kansas journalism toward morning newspapers.The Kansas Press Association said only 18 of the 44 daily newspapers in the state are published in the afternoon. The Tribune is the oldest, continually operated business in Great Bend. The Associated Press Soldiers at Fort Riley given orders to deploy TOPEKA—An additional 2,100 active duty soldiers at Fort Riley have received orders to deploy as the United States readies for a possible war with Iraq. Fort Riley officials said Tuesday. Approximately 2,100 soldiers, including the remainder of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division and additional troops from the 937th Engineer Group received orders to deploy in support of Central Command operations. Spokeswoman Christie Vanover said the soldiers were previously on alert. The Associated Press Teacher from Liberal wins Pancake Race Pentagon officials gave orders over the weekend to more than 60,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen to deploy to the Persian Gulf, raising the number of U.S. forces in the region to 300,000. LIBERAL — Physical education teacher Cheri Bevis won Liberal's fifth-straight victory Tuesday in the annual International Pancake Race rivalry with Olney, England. Bevis, 26, ran the 415-yard course in 61.52 seconds, beating Juliet Minter's time of 63.0 seconds in Olney. The race is held in Liberal and Olney, England, on Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. It is the last day before the Lenten season, when Christians are encouraged to give up luxuries. Bevis, an assistant basketball coach at West Middle School in Liberal, took the lead after the first turn and held on to it to take the victory. Temperatures were in the 20s, with a strong wind and snow flurries, making it a frigid race for the 12 runners. The Associated Press The Princeton Review Classes Starting Soon!

Newly released investigative documents contradict the man's previous account about the purchase of the egg crate-style packaging foam that covered the walls at the club, which burned to the ground Feb. 20. The man, Barry Warner, said he approached the club shortly after brothers Jeffrey and Michael Derderian bought The Station in March 2000 to complain about noise. Warner lived behind the building and, at the time, worked at American Foam Corp. Once the Dderierians learned he worked for the foam company, they initiated the sale of the cheap, highly flammable polyurethane packaging material as soundproofing. Warner said Sunday. However, he told investigators Feb. 23 that he told the Derderians about the packaging foam sold by his company, according to a police search warrant affidavit. Warner, who no longer works for American Foam, said yesterday that the affidavit didn't accurately represent his conversation with state and federal investigators. "There's a lot of inaccuracies," Warner said, decling further comment. The soundproofing is considered a key part of the investigation into the fire, one of the deadliest nightclub blazes in U.S. history. State law bars highly flammable material from being used as soundproofing in clubs and bars. The fire was sparked by the pytrotechnics display of the band Great White. Flames raced up the soundproofing behind and above the stage and ripped through the club. In addition to the dead, nearly 190 people were injured; 46 remained hospitalized yesterday with injuries including severe burns and seared lungs. The band has insisted it had permission to use the special effects, a claim denied by the Derderians. But officials are also investigating whether the foam should have been on the walls in the first place. Michael Derdierian's attorney, Kathleen Hagerty, has said the brothers deferred to Warner as the expert on a foam they believed to be appropriate soundproofing. American Foam owner Amar DerManouelian has said the club bought $575 worth of the foam in mid-2000 after asking for the "cheapest" material. Experts say the light, porous polyurethane foam is 20 times more flammable than wood and burns like gasoline, emitting a dense, toxic smoke. Town building and fire inspectors visited the nightclub at least four times over the past three years but never reported seeing the foam inside. The search warrant affidavits also lay out details from the investigation of the West Warwick police and the Rhode Island Attorney General's office. They refer to the "egg crate foam" on the ceiling and walls. Suicide bomber injures 55 in Israel The Associated Press HAIFA, Israel — A bomber blew himself up aboard a bus filled with students in this northern Israeli city yesterday, killing at least 16 people and injuring 55. The blast spread blood-splattered debris throughout a prosperous hilltop neighborhood, ending a two-month lull in suicide bombings. Police identified the bomber as Mahmoud Hamdan Kawasme, 20, of the West Bank city of Hebron, and said he was carrying a letter praising the Sept. 11 attacks. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, and it was not known whether he was affiliated with a militant group. The attack followed the establishment of a new hardline government in Israel and a government pledge to step up military strikes against militant strongholds in the Gaza Strip. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in more than two weeks of raids, including at least 10 civilians. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called an emergency meeting of senior Cabinet ministers late yesterday to discuss the bombing. Bus No. 37 was packed with students from Haifa University when it stopped in the hilltop neighborhood of Carmelia at 2:17 p.m. to let off passengers. The explosion blew off the bus roof, shattered all its windows and toppled nearby palm trees. Floodlights cast an eerie glow on the scene, illuminating the charred skeleton of the vehicle. The bomb was laden with metal shrapnel for greater deadliness, according to Police Commissioner Shlomo Aharonishki. Crime lab technicians were investigating, but early reports said the blast was caused by 130 pounds of explosives. Rescue workers and police said they believed one of the 16 dead was the bomber. Dozens were seriously injured, among them passers-by. Ovadia Saar, who was driving a bus behind the one that was attacked, said he saw "the back of the bus fly into the air, and the windows blew out and a great cloud of dust covered the bus." "I got out and ran toward the bus. It was a horrible sight. There were a few bodies in the street," he said. "Those we saw breathing, we evacuated." "We will not stop our resistance," he said. "We are not going to give up in the face of the daily killing" of Palestinians. A spokesman for the Islamic militant group Hamas, Abdel Aziz Rantisi, praised the bombing but did not claim responsibility. Some Palestinians in Gaza called each other on cell phones, spreading news about the Haifa attack. Some were jubilant. "It's about time. They've kept on hitting us and killing us, and now we've struck back," said an ice cream vendor in Gaza, who refused to give his name. The Haifa blast was the first terror attack in Israel since Jan. 5, when a pair of suicide bombers killed 23 people in Tel Aviv. There have been 87 suicide attacks in Israel in 29 months of violence that has left2,160 people dead on the Palestinian side and 743 on the Israeli side. The violence ended talks on a final peace settlement and helped Sharon win re-election. Columbia hearing to commence today The Associated Press HOUSTON — After a month out of public view, NASA's space shuttle program manager will be back in the spotlight today as a witness at the first public hearing held by the Columbia accident investigation board. Ron Dittemore was the face and voice of NASA in the week following the shuttle's breakup over Texas, describing the tragic events and their aftermath at daily news conferences at Johnson Space Center. That role ended when the investigation board took over. Today, Dittemore will be back answering questions, this time from board members instead of reporters. It is the first in an onslaught of public hearings planned by the board's chairman, Harold Gehman Jr., a retired Navy admiral who led the investigation into the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. He said he would hold hearings twice a week, every two out of three weeks, for the foreseeable future. Even Gehman's own staff is surprised at the frequency. "He wants his process to be open to the public," explained the Federal Aviation Administration's Laura Brown, the board's spokeswoman. Astronaut Scott Altman, the commander of Columbia's next-to-last mission who is taking part in the investigation on NASA's behalf, reacted with a "wow" to the heavy schedule. He said he is all for making the hearings open to the public, especially in space towns like Houston, Cape Canaveral, Fla., and Huntsville, Ala. That is where most of the hearings will be held. The only risk, he said, is invit ing the public could make the board feel more rushed to come up with answers, which might turn out to be the wrong ones. "You don't want to be distracted by giving a public pitch and by doing PowerPoint charts when you want to be finding out what went wrong," he said. The board suspects Columbia's left wing was breached, possibly by foam, ice or other debris that broke off from the shuttle's big external fuel tank during liftoff Jan. 16, and the hot gases of re-entry seeped inside 16 days later. All seven astronauts were killed. Today's hearing will be held in a 500-seat theater at the University of Houston at Clear Lake, just a few miles from Johnson Space Center. During his last news conference on Feb. 7, Dittemore pledged "unwavener support" to the board. "If there's anything they need, we will provide it," he said. Gehman refused to say whether Dittemore was among the top-level shuttle managers that he requested be removed from the Columbia investigation because of a conflict of interest. NASA chief Sean O'Keefe has publicly contradicted Dittemore's contention that even if the space agency had known about the severity of damage to the thermal tiles on Columbia's wing, there is nothing anyone could have done about it. Besides Dittemore, who has headed the shuttle program since 1999, Gehman plans to call as witnesses today the Johnson Space Center director, the former director of NASA's Ames Research Center, and a Boeing engineer who is an expert on the foam that insulates the external fuel tank.

Yesterday, they were the biggest losers off it. Jake Plummer, the Cardinals' quarterback for the past six seasons, agreed to a seven-year, $40 million deal with the Denver Broncos, David Boston, his favorite target, agreed to a seven-year deal with San Diego. Plummer's departure from Arizona had been expected after a subpar 2002 season in which he had a 65.7 passer rating, near the bottom of the league among starters. And he had long seemed headed for Denver, which has given Brian Griese, the starter since John Elway retired after the 1998 season, permission to seek a trade. But at 28, with 82 NFL starts, Plummer still is considered talented and could blossom under offensive-minded coach Mike Shanahan. In 1998, he led the Cardinals to their first playoff victory since 1947, engineering several late-game comebacks to get Arizona into the postseason for the first time since 1982. They have not been back in the playoffs since '98. "He's played a number of years in the league, and from that experience he has gained some perspective on what his priorities are in life," said David Dunn, Plummer's agent. "It was a very difficult decision between Chicago, Arizona and Denver, but at the end of the day, the coaching staff, the history of winning and the offensive scheme really impressed him in Denver." The Broncos also added defensive tackle Daryl Gardener, who started 15 games last year for Washington and had 71 tackles and four sacks. Gardener is expected to replace Chester McGlockton, who was released by the Broncos. PENN STATE Boston gives the Chargers the top wide receiver available in free agency a n d arguably the best player overall. The 6-foot-2, 236-pound Boston, whose father, Byron, is an NFL official, caught 98 passes two years ago for Arizona, which drafted him in the first round in 1999. He led the league with 1,598 yards receiving and was voted to the All-Pro team. Last year, he was hampered by a knee injury and had 32 catches. He also pleaded no contest to driving under the influence of drugs. "We believe David Boston is one of the top receivers in the National Football League," Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "He has remarkable playmaking ability and we're delighted to have him be part of what were doing. He brings to our offense what we consider to be big-play potential that few guys in this league bring." Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers got what they hope is their quarterback of the future by signing former New Orleans backup Jake Delhomme. Delhomme, 28, threw just 86 passes during his five-year career in New Orleans. But in a year lacking attractive free-agent quarterbacks, he was considered worth signing to determine whether he could become another Trent Green or Kurt Warner. In other words, a quarterback who blossoms after a long apprenticeship. "He's a good young quarterback and he's very accurate," Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said. "He seems to bring some veteran leadership skills and some intangibles. He just hasn't had much of a chance yet. But when he's played, we've liked what we've seen." Lamar Smith started 11 games for the Panthers and led the team with 737 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. But he was arrested Nov.28 on charges of driving while impaired, speeding and reckless driving. The team placed him on paid leave the next day. Defensive tackle Cletidus Hunt signed a six-year, $25 million contract with the Packers, who were able to remove the transition designation they assigned to him Feb. 20. "I think that Cletidus Hunt is at just the tip of the iceberg in regard to what he's capable of doing," coach Mike Sherman said. "I think he can be a dominant player in this league." Tight end Jim Kleinsasser, designated the Vikings' franchise player, agreed to a one-year deal worth roughly $3 million. Coach Mike Tice said the team is still working on a long-term deal for Kleinsasser. BASKETBALL BASKETBALL Texas A&M runs away in victory over Baylor COLLEGE STATION, Texas Andy Slocum scored a season-high 18 points as Texas A&M ended a three-game conference losing streak with a 79-60 victory over Baylor on yesterday night. Forwards Antoine Wright and Keith Bean added 13 and 10 points ATM respectively for A&M (14-12, 6-9 Big 12). The Big 12's all-time leading scorer, Bernard King, scored just three points for A&M but posted 10 assists. Baylor (13-13, 4-11) scored just three field goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half. The Aggies went on a 12-1 run as they neid the Bears without a field goal for six minutes of play midway through the half. Baylor could get no closer than nine points in the second half and A&M led by as many as 31 points. Kentucky dominates Vanderbilt flounders LEXINGTON, Ky. — No. 2 Kentucky looks simply invincible as it closes in on a perfect run through the Southeastern Con- through the Southeastern Conference Erik Daniels scored a career high 20 points and freshman Kelenna Azubuike added a season-high 16 as the Wildcats rode to its 19th straight win, beating Vanderbilt 106-44 on yesterday night. Marquis Estill added 17 points and nine rebounds and Gerald Fitch had 15 points and five assists for Kentucky (25-3, 15-0), which held Vanderbilt to seven field goals and 15 points in the second half. Kentucky opened with a 15-2 run, scoring on eight of its first nine possessions. Seton Hall's streak ends after loss to Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh opened up a big early lead behind unusually strong outside shooting and got 16 points from Julius Page in ending Seton Hall's nine-game winning streak with an 86-54 victory yesterday night. Page had 13 points in the first half and Zavackas was 3-of-3 on 3-pointers as Pitt went 7-of-10 from beyond the arc; SH FIRMER Despite getting several standing ovations in his final home game, point guard Brandin Knight didn't score until 12:27 remaining but it hardly mattered as Pitt already led by 26 points. Knight finished with eight points, six rebounds and 10 assists. Seton Hall committed 12 turnovers in the first half and 21 overall, and couldn't get any closer than 16 even going on a 10-0 run midway through the second half. Andre Barrett and John Allen each had 11 points for the Pirates. Wake Forest victorious earns share of ACC title WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Josh Howard had 24 points and 11 nine rebounds to give No. 9 Wake Forest at least a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference title with a 75-60 victory over North Carolina yesterday night. Howard led the charge, scoring 17 points in the second half to Justin Gray added 16 points and Jamaal Levy scored 13 and had eight rebounds. close his senior season a perfect 17-0 at home. Jawad Williams led North Carolina with 17 points and Jackie Manuel added 12. Rashad McCants scored 10, but he fouled up 5:56 to play and the Tar Heels trailing 6-49. Howard opened the second half with a 3-pointer, giving Wake Forest a 40-36 lead. The Associated Press Iowa State CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16A with a 2-0 lead, Iowa State responded by hitting three straight shots from threepoint range. After taking the early advantage, Iowa State never looked back. The Jayhawks went into the locker room at halftime trailing 27-17, but 7 consecutive points by the Cyclones to start the second half buried any hopes of a comeback. Waltz, who was the team's only player in double figures with 10 points, led the Jayhawks. Freshman forwards Tamara Ransburg and Crystal Kemp each chipped in with 8 points. Off the bench, junior forward Keila Beachem tied her season-high with 6 points. The team's second leading scorer, sophomore guard Aquanita Burras, was held well below her average of 10.8 points per game with just 4. After losses that were draining both physically and mentally in the past week to Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State, and Kansas now has some time to regroup before the start of the conference tournament. Washington said that in order to hang with Iowa State the next time around, her big-time performers would have to do just that - perform. "I think a little bit of time will help them." Washington said. "Obviously, we just have to constantly work on our defense, but the bottom line is this — we have to have Blair, we have to have Crystal, we have to have Tay (Ransburg), and we have to have Aquanita play. They have to do what they do best for us, and if we can get those four doing what they do best, then we'll be in the ball game." — Edited by Andrew Ward Beauty Store Salon b Rusk eautybiz M JOICO NEXUS OP1 Located at 23rd & Louisiana 841-5855 REDKEN KMS PAUL MITCHELL Everyday Prices 20% off anything* TIGI BODY NRENCH BIOLAGE - Excludes sale items * No double coupons Open 7 days a week *Over 10,000 items --- Try the Iced Indonesian!

A C 10 "With Roy Williams...you let a general like that run his program." Kansas Athletics Director Al Bohl on his relationship with basketball coach Roy Williams THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 Inside Sports New charge added in player's case THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN=134 The Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. — A new indictment against former NBA star Jayson Williams adds a weapons offense to the seven charges he already faces in the shooting death of a limousine driver. The indictment handed up yesterday increases Williams' possible prison sentence by 10 years. He could face nearly 55 years in prison if convicted on all charges, the most serious of which is aggravated manslaughter. Williams' attorneys called the new indictment "an obvious attempt at damage control" intended to silence discussion on mistakes made by prosecutors the first time they went before a grand jury. "We believe we are vindicated that the way this indictment was originally obtained was improper," defense attorney Billy Martin said. The 35-year-old Williams is accused of recklessly handling the shotgun that killed Costus Christoffi, and then trying to make the shooting look self-inflicted. The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's and State Attorney General's offices hope a new indictment from a different grand jury will resolve a challenge to the original one handed up in May. The shooting occurred Feb.14, 2002, inside Williams' 40-room mansion in rural Alexandria Township. Williams' attorneys argued the first indictment was flawed due to mistakes in the grand jury presentation. They said prosecutors violated Williams' rights by telling grand jurors that he chose to remain silent and call a lawyer immediately after the shooting. A trial judge upheld the original indictment late last year, and a hearing before an appeals court is scheduled for March 12. Prosecutors plan to file the new indictment with the appeals court and expect the original charges will be dismissed. "We did not think it was in the interest of justice or the victims in this case to continue arguing the matter on procedural grounds in the appellate division and the (New Jersey) Supreme Court," Acting Attorney General Peter C. Harvey said. Williams' attorney's planned to make a statement on the new indictment yesterday afternoon. The 6-foot-10 Williams was among the NBA's best rebounders when leg injuries led to his retirement from the New Jersey Nets in 2000. After the shooting, he was suspended from his job as an NBA analyst for NBC. Georgia assistant coach fired The Associated Press ATHENS, Ga. — Jim Harrick's son was fired yesterday by Georgia, ridding the troubled program of the assistant coach accused of academic fraud and paving a player's bills. Now the question is: Can the father survive? Harrick is fighting to keep his job after former player Tony Cole accused the coach's son of paying his bills, doing schoolwork and teaching a sham class on coaching. Harrick Jr. was suspended with pay on Friday after the allegations came to light. Five days later, the school announced the 38-year-old assistant basketball coach would be let go when his contract expires June 30. "We will not tolerate any violations of NCAA rules," school president Michael Adams said. "If we have a problem, we'll fix it and move on to better days." The dismissal of Harrick Jr was a huge blow to his father, who vowed Tuesday that no major rules had been broken. On Tuesday night, the No.25 Bulldogs pulled off one of their biggest victories of the season, upsetting No. 3 Florida 82- 81. Harrick Jr. watched the game from a tunnel near the Georgia bench, unable to take his usual seat alongside his father. Afterward, the elder Harrick lingered on the court, denying Cole's allegations but also conceding his program might be guilty of some violations. "We don't do work for people, nor do we give them money," the coach said. Harrick wouldn't comment on his son's dismissal. Harrick Jr, has refused to talk since the allegations were made. Meanwhile, Georgia forward Chris Daniels gave credence to one of the most damaging accusations from Cole, who says he got an "A" for a class he never attended. Daniels, who took the same course, was pulled out of practice Monday to meet with NCAA and school investigators. Harrick Jr. taught the class, "Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball." While unsure if he was enrolled in the class at the same time as Cole, Daniels said, "I think it's the same one. I never saw him in there." In a related development, the head of Georgia's Physical Education and Sports Studies department, Paul G. Schempp, was reprimanded for assigning Harrick Jr. to the course. Adams said he was surprised to learn that Harrick Jr. had taught a class in which his players were students. The president vowed it wouldn't happen again. Cole also claims that Harrick Jr. did the work for correspondence courses that helped the player improve his grades before he was admitted to Georgia. In addition, Harrick Jr. is accused of paying Cole's hotel bills in Athens and wiring $300 to a woman in Baton Rouge, La., to pay a phone bill. The former player produced a Western Union receipt with the sender listed as "Jim Harrick." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that a Rhode Island booster, Charlie Tapalian, provided the money that was wired to Cole in August 2001. The elder Harrick coached at Rhode Island from 1997-99, with his son on the staff the second year. Harrick Jr. has also coached at San Diego State, Valparaiso, Marshall and Loyola-Chicago. Colorado upsets Oklahoma State The Associated Press BOULDER, Colo. — David Harrison had 16 points and 14 rebounds as Colorado beat No. 20 Oklahoma State 68-56 last night to set a school record with its 11th straight home victory. Colorado (18-10, 8-7 Big 12) played without leading scorer Michel Morandais because of a sprained ankle, but still improved its home record to 12-1. The Buffaloes are 7-0 in the conference at home, including victories over Texas Kansas and Missouri. Colorado has won six of nine overall to improve its chances of reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time in seven years. Stephane Pelle added 14 points. Oklahoma State (20-8, 9-6) continued its late-season struggles in its first trip to Boulder since 10 members of the program died in a plane crash two years ago. Two players and eight others were killed after a game against Colorado on Jan. 27, 2001, when one of three planes carrying the team's traveling party crashed in a storm about 40 miles outside Denver. Oklahoma State shot 32 percent — many were way off the mark — to lose three straight for the first time since 1998-99. Ivan McFarlin had 13 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Cowboys, who have lost 7-of-10 following a 17-1 start. Oklahoma State cut Colorado's 5point halftime lead to 31-30 on a vicious dunk by Tony Allen that left the backboard shaking for about 30 seconds. It would be as close as the Cowboys would get. Colorado answered with a 10-0 run, capped by Blair Wilson's three-point shot that hit the front of the rim and bounced in to take a 43-30 lead with 16 minutes left. The Cowboys kept trying to chip away at the lead, but couldn't shoot straight enough to mount any kind of run. Oklahoma State shot 9-of-29 in the second half, and it got so bad that McFarlin missed an open lapout midway through. The Cowboys had trouble with Colorado's aggressive man-to-man defense from the start. Oklahoma State opened the game 2-for-13 from the field and went more than 6 minutes without a field goal midway through the first half. The Cowboys missed eight straight shots and had three turnovers before Melvin Sanders banked in a 25-foot 3-pointer at the shot clock buzzer with 11:10 left.

He should never be allowed to talk about anything related to Kansas athletics ever again. The Associated Press Missouri (18-8, 9-6) never got back AMES, Iowa — Tim Barnes scored 24 points and Jackson Vroman added 14 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists as Iowa State, playing under difficult circumstances, rolled past Missouri 71-55 yesterday night. Iowa State (14-11, 5-10 Big 12) built a 16-point lead 10 minutes into the game and dominated a Missouri team that had won four of five and beat then-No. 3 Oklahoma a week ago. into the game after Iowa State's early surge. Rickey Paulding and Travon Bryant led the Tigers with 18 points each. The game was played just hours after the death of Pete Taylor, the longtime radio voice for Iowa State football and basketball and an associate athletic director at the school. Taylor, 57, died after undergoing brain surgery. On Monday, assistant coach Randy Brown resigned after being charged with possession of child pornography. And top reserve Marcus Jefferson missed the game to be with his ailing mother in East Chicago, Ind. But if the Cyclones were spent, it didn't show. They beat the Tigers down the floor in transition, outhustled them for offensive rebounds and never let up. Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy, who was good friends with Taylor, had tears streaming down his cheek as he went to shake hands with Missouri coach Quin Snyder after the game. Iowa State made seven of its first nine shots in jumping to a 15-2 lead. Vroman and Homan got inside for baskets, while Sullivan and Barnes connected from the perimeter. Barnes and Haluska each hit two 3-pointers as the lead grew to 45-23. Barnes got his second 3 after one of Vroman's five offensive rebounds. Iowa State went on to lead by as many as 23 and when Missouri managed to get within 14, only 3:20 remained and the Tigers got no closer. There was a moment of silence in Taylor's memory before the game. Iowa State staffers wore ribbons in the school colors of cardinal and gold and the players wore black strips on the left shoulder strap of their uniforms.

That's the first step. After that, draw up lists and work up your budget. Let others know what they can do to help. Let your inner vision lead you. You're on the right track. Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 10. Don't get impatient. You're still in a formative phase. It's natural for you to have a few worries or make a few mistakes. The more you practice, the stronger you'll become. Taurus (April 20-May 20), Today is a 6. You're the one who comes up with the great idea this time, maybe under pressure. It's a way to get something you want for your home at an affordable price. Gemini(May 21-June 21). Today is a7. You've learned a lot with books and tapes, but that's not the only way. You'll learn more now by watching and listening to the person in charge. Meanwhile, let someone else fight your battles. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 6. You'd like to get away, but obligations make it tough. Would a long phone call to a distant loved one help? It's cheaper than going there; and no luggage! Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 9.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 7. Don't stay up half the night talking. It's fun, and maybe even psychologically valuable, but many important things must be done without verbalization. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. You're getting more curious, and that's wonderful. It's how you'll manage to get the perfect new item for your home — within your budget. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is an 8. During the upcoming phase, you'll think in more businesslike terms. You can get into it. At first, it may just seem that you don't get to do what you want. Persevere. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 7. As a little more money comes in, your worries will begin to fade. You're getting more imaginative, too. Trust your creativity.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS 16A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY Ryan Malashock rmalashock@kansan.com KANSAS 21 12 Cyclones defeat women 'Hawks keep refs, rivals on their toes Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan If Roy Williams had his way, every scoreboard operator in the Big 12 Conference would despise his teams. In all actuality, they might already hate working Kansas games. If you're one of these workers, you just can't show up to work hoping to kick back and enjoy some basketball when Kansas comes to town because the scoreboard will get quite a workout. Kansas, the third-best scoring team in the nation, loves to score, loves to run, loves to turn any arena it plays into a track. That's Kansas basketball as Williams has defined it. Williams, discussing the pace he prefers, said before the season that he liked his teams to play games with point totals in the 80- or 90-point range. Games in the 50s and 60s, Williams said, he was not so sure about. Problem is, the rest of the country caught on to those statements. Topple Kansas? Not by running. The worst way to beat Kansas is to get into a sprint back and forth, full-court, fast-breaking contest. Texas, one of the nation's best at fast-pace action, huffed and puffed and lost. Keita Beachem, junior forward, struggles for the ball against Iowa State defender Anne O'Neil, sophomore guard. The Jayhawks lost their final home game to the Cyclones 69-44 last night in Allen Fieldhouse. But look back at losses to North Carolina, Oklahoma and Colorado. Those teams were determined to slow the games to a lull. Kansas' half-court offense tanked, no one looked for a shot and no one appeared in rhythm. The Buffaloes and Sooners out-rebounded the Jayhawks, muscling them all over the court. Texas Tech, a physical, half-court style, fundamental-based team coached by Bob Knight, seemed to possess all the necessary intangibles for success Monday against Kansas. What followed was just a W on Kansas' record, but the 65-56 victory was a confidence boost Kansas desperately needed as postseason play creeps up. By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter From the get-go, Texas Tech appeared determined to eat clock. It wanted Kansas to do the same. The Jayhawks did, but did not panic. Kansas exhibited extraordinary patience on offense, passing until an open shot became available. Even though the Kansas women's basketball team suffered a 69-44 loss to Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse last night, history gave the Jayhawks some hope heading into next week's Big 12 tournament. Sophomore guard Blair Waltz said Kansas had the potential to give Iowa State a run similar to the one it gave Texas a year ago. Last night's game was the regular season finale for the Jayhawks (10-17 overall, 3-13 Big 12 conference). The team will now have nearly a week until they square off again with Iowa State (12-15, 7-9) in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament on Tuesday. The situation Kansas faces is similar to last year's scenario. Kansas lost its final regular season game at home to Texas, 61-46, but then nearly upset the Longhorns in the conference tournament's opening round, losing 63-61. "We can do whatever we set our minds to, and that's what our attitude has to be," Waltz said. "I believe in every single girl on the team." As for last night's loss, the Jayhawks once again had problems defending beyond the three-point line. The Cyclones shot 11-for-25 from beyond the arc last night, including four from senior forward Mary Cofield. Cofield led the way for Iowa State with 16 points, while senior guard Lindsey Wilson added 14. Defending against the three-point shot has plagued Kansas down the stretch of its conference schedule. In the past 10 games, the Jayhawks allowed 75 three-point shots, while only connecting on 30 of their own. Despite her team's recent defensive struggles, Kansas coach Marian Washington said it was tough to play with a team that stayed hot from the floor. On one possession, senior forward Nick Collison got triple-teamed 5 feet from the basket. Collison calmly tossed the ball out to junior forward Bryant Nash, who swung the ball to senior guard Kirk Hinrich, who swung it to sophomore guard Aaron Miles, who swung it to sophomore guard Keith Langford for an open 8-foot shot that Langford knocked down. This four-pass clinic on teamwork took all of 4 seconds. "They just did a good job and they were on tonight," Washington said. "I thought they had the drive going, I thought they certainly had the three-point shot going, and when you have both of those things, it pulls your defense in and on the kickout, they've got an open look." Even though Kansas drew first blood SEE IOWA STATE ON PAGE 12A The Jayhawks clamped down on the boards, grabbing three more than the Red Raiders, and received exemplary hustle from junior forward Jeff Graves and Nash, the two in charge of picking up injured sophomore forward Wayne Simien's slack. The effort didn't shock Langford, the star of Monday's game. Langford scored a game-high 20 points and said the mark of this Kansas team was thrown onto center stage, a quality that should prove key once March Madness begins. Monday's win in Lubbock, Texas, shot off a message to the nation and, more importantly, within the Kansas program. Track meet or no track meet, scoring 90 points or 60 points, this Kansas team can win any style of game. "The mark of this team is we don't get rattled," Langford said. "We've been in these situations before. There's no panic, just stay in control and keep control of the game." - Malashock is an Omaha, Neb. senior in journalism. The NCAA tournament, dubbed March Madness, sets up nicely for a team that can claim a victory despite playing outside of its comfort zone. The Madness ensues often, usually when a team of lesser talent wins because it plays to a better team's weaknesses. 'It's crunch time' for women's team Next time women's team must apply game plan for victory against Iowa Kansas held the Big 12 Conference's leading scorer, Lindsey Wilson, to only 14 points in last night's 69-44 loss to Iowa State. The senior guard was averaging 21 points per game in conference play going in but shared the scoring duty with her less-heralded teammates against the Jayhawks. By Shane Mettlen smttenl@kansan.com Kansan sports writer The team stars haven't been shining against the Kansas women's basketball team lately. However, role players have provided bright spots for opponents of the Jayhawks the last two games. This came after Saturday's loss to Missouri in which Kansas held the Tigers' star forward Evan Unrau to 5 points, but allowed Tracy Lozier and Kerensa Barr to score 15 points each. Mary Cofield led all scorers with 16 points, 9 above her season average. Erica Junod chipped in with 11 points for the Cyclones despite averaging only 5 points a contest going into the game. "When you have a great player like Wilson, ifyou're going to try and stop her Kansas coach Marian Washington said Wilson, who dished out five assists did more for the Cyclones than just score. then she is going to find open players," Washington said. "Our effort to try and stop her opened up other players, who knocked them down. That's what a great player will do." Kansas forward Blair Waltz was also impressed with the Cyclone guard. "She's very headys." Waltz said. "What a great player to play with when she can make anyone on the team better. She's got a great first step and is quick off the dribble and she's a threat from the outside as well." The Jayhawks will have to figure out a way contain Wilson and her teammates. Kansas and Iowa State will face off again in Dallas in the first round of the Big 12 tournament Tuesday at noon. Waltz said a win next time around would help erase the disappointment of last night's loss. To do that though, the Jayhawks need to bring better focus to Dallas. "We've been struggling with taking what we do in practice, taking the game plan and putting into the game," Waltz said. "It's crunch time. You either do it or you go home." Waltz said facing Iowa State in the first round of the conference tournament could work in Kansas' favor, even though the Cyclones swept the regular season series. "It's hard to beat a team three times. It always has been," Waltz said. "I think we'll come very prepared for them in Dallas." Edited by Melissa Hermreck KANSAS 3 4 Courtney Kublen/Kansan Bleir Waltz, sophomore guard, positions herself in front of Tracy Paustian, sophomore guard. Waltz led Kansas' scoring with 10 points. The Jayhawks lost to the Cyclones 69-44 last night in their last home game of the season.

The band has a traditional sound and goes back to the roots of bluegrass, said Charlie Rose, Lawrence senior, who plays banjo and guitar for the band. TOMMY TOMMY TOMMY Its sound is similar to other popular string bands right now, such as the Yonder Mountain String Band, Rose said. Rose started playing with Cody Walters and Adrian Erlinger, who both played bass and guitar for the band, about four years ago. Then about a year ago, the band added Brad Maetas, mandolin and bass player, and Adam Galblum, Lawrence senior. TWO DOLLAR SHOE REVIVAL STORY Web site: www.peopleku.edu/~nutville Upcoming shows: 11 p.m. March 12 and March 26 at Abe & Jake's Landing. Jared Soares/Kansan Galblum, who plays fiddle the majority of the time and mandolin the rest, enjoys playing the classic tunes that never die, he said. The goal of the band is to become a progressive, acoustic-string band, Rose said. "Two Dollar Shoe is a way for me to just learn a bunch of great tunes and play it with my buddies." he said. Some of the band's inspirations include Bill Monroe, Dave Grismond, Bela Fleck and Charlie Parker, Rose said. The band plays mostly traditional tunes, Rose said, but members are working toward writing some more original material. The name of the band comes from the Woodie Guthrie song "The Lonesome Road Blues." The song states, "The $2 shoe hurts my foot. It takes a $10 shoe to fit my foot," Rose said. The Two Dollar Shoe Revival plays the song "Cold Winters Morn" on Tuesday March 4 at the Bottleneck. Charlie "Chuckwagon" Rose is on guitar; A. J. "Clamp" Erlinger is on mandolin; Brad Maestas upright is on bass; and Cody Walters on the fiddle make up the band. Two Dollar Shoe plays regularly at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., on Wednesday nights. The band also plays at other locations in Lawrence and has traveled as far as Boulder, Colo., and St. Louis. Rose said they also liked to play on Massachusetts Street when the weather was nice. Playing in the Lawrence music scene is something he enjoys, Rose said. "Everybody knows each other," he said. "You've got a high concentration of good musicians. And the music is thriving and growing." music scene, he said. "It's very accepting," he said. "Everyone likes music and supports musicians."

You'll decide who goes out with whom by logging on to Kansan.com 6 = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LIFESTYLE ARTS ARTS THE MONTH THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 TV show highlights local film scene By Neil Mulak nmulka@kansan.com Jayplay staff writer Two years ago the Lawrence film scene was not in the public's focus. People could see local bands rock out in bars, theater fans could choose from a variety of stages, and the work of local artists graced the walls of coffee shops. Filmmakers, meanwhile, had only a couple of film festivals to show off. Chris Martin, Prairie Village senior, decided to get some focus for local filmmakers with Out of Focus, a television show dedicated to local film events. "The title itself kind of describes the situation of local filmmakers," Martin said. "We're out of the public's focus, and I'm trying to change that." Martin, a film major, said he thought too many good films were going unnoticed. "As a film student, I have seen a lot of quality films that get no exposure," Martin said. "It's a real shame that no one gets to see them." During episodes of Out of Focus Martin, producer, director, writer and co-host interviews local filmmakers and runs short films. Works such as The Passion by Jeremy Osbern, Salt and Sanction by John Nowak (who is also a University Daily Kansan photographer) and The Walls by Patrick Rae, have ran in their entirety. Rae, Schuyler, Neb., senior, said he liked the exposure that Out of Focus brought to his films. "I have noticed a lot more recognition from people," Rae said, "They range from, 'Your movie is cool when I'm stoned,' to compliment on the lighting." There is also a segment entitled Word on the Street that Martin and co-host Kevin Beacom interview random people. "We go on campus and downtown and ask people what they know about local films," Beacon, Omaha, Neb., senior, said. "We try to throw in fun questions like what their favorite movie is." Out of Focus received a taste of Hollywood when Martin interviewed Barbara Lindstrom, a Hollywood screenwriter whose films have made the Sundance Film Festival. "I have noticed a lot more recognition from people. They range from, 'Your movie is cool when I'm stoned,' to compliments on the lighting." Patrick Rae Schuyler, Neb., senior "It was very cool to have a Kansas person with Hollywood experience on the show," Martin said. "We watched The Great Pancake Race, which is about a small town Kansas tradition. It's a great quirky film about a quirky tradition." Starting Monday, the Out of Focus Film and Video Showcase will be featuring local films by Tanner Loewenberg, Chirs Blunk, Tyler Alfrey and Jeremy Osbern on the silver screen in Liberty Hall. 642 Massachusetts St. There will also be a question and answer session with the filmmakers after the showing. Martin said the main goal of the showcase was to give burgeoning filmmakers an opportunity to show their work in a theatrical environment to a public audience. In addition to giving local filmmakers another venue to show off their work, Martin and Beacom hope that Out of Focus motivates others. Martin and Beacom are working on an episode featuring films from the Student Union Activities iMovie contest, which allows students to create their own movies using Apple iMac computers. "We're planning on showing the finalists' films." Martin said, "And a couple of others I think should get an honorable mention." With Martin and Beacom graduating soon the future of Out of Focus is cloudy. "I have some loose ends here in Lawrence I need to take care of after I graduate," Martin said. "I would like to see the show continue after I graduate. I might try to get Channel 6 or a station out in Topeka to pick it up and maybe get some sponsorship." - Edited by Julie Jantzer 'Harry Potter' to Hornby: students' tastes differ By Mindy Osborne mosborne@kansan.com Jayplay staff writer Just as the choice to read for entertainment is a reflection of style, so is the choice of book a person chooses to read. Doug Weaver, a manager at Borders Books, Music & Café, 700 New Hampshire St., said the college crowd had made new alternative fiction and science fiction popular. Haskell Springer, a professor of English who teaches recent popular literature, has heard many recommendations from students. "Harry Potter is definitely a favorite," Springer said. "Nick Hornyb, who wrote High Fidelity and About a Boy is also really popular." Despite students'suggestions, Springer said he got the impression that a lot of students were too busy during the semester to read. Andy Crouch, Peoria, Ill., junior, said he could relate. 2918011601041 "With school,it's not really possible to read as much as I would like. During the break I read three books,but I'm lucky to finish one during the semester." Andy Crouch Peoria, Ill., junior "With school, it's not really possible to read as much as I would like," Crouch said. "During break I read three books, but I'm lucky to finish one during the semester." Others like Sarah Blythe, Wichita senior, make reading a priority. Blythe said she tried to read at least an hour a day. "It's good entertainment," she said. "Reading gives the same fantasy elements as TV.I especially like fiction and the classics."

BOX 1057 718-426-3000 The Lawrence Art Collective will be hosting an art show 8 p.m.Saturday at the Pink House,1131 Tennessee St. Thirty local artists will be displaying their work,and the theme of the show is "Brave and Small." Artwork displayed will be no larger than 12 inches in any direction and will include printmaking,sculpture,metalworking fibers and photography. Contributed art "Habits" by Dominic Sova, Troy, Ill., senior, is one of many pieces of art at the "Brave and Small" art show. "Habits" is a sculpture that utilizes objects found by the artist instead of molding raw materials. The "Brave and Small" art show begins at 8 p.m. at the Pink House, 1131 Tennessee St. "Much of the time works such as these get passed over quickly in a more traditional gallery or studio setting in favor of larger works, which are more saleable." Sova said. "Small works of art require a more personal level of attention and detail." Show organizer, Dominic Sova, Troy. Fresh ill., senior, said smaller art is often over-looked in regular galleries. —Neil Mulka According to Sova the art will presented in a relaxed social setting.

THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 LIFESTYLE/ARTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7 Definitions of 'virgin' cause discrepancies SEX CITY According to Playboy magazine, about 15 percent of college students identify themselves as virgins. The Catholic Church regards abstinence as more holy than marriage. High school-aged teens are saying premarital sex is wrong in increasing numbers each year, while the pregnancy rates of high school girls is rising. Patrick Ross pross@kansan.com Those who identify as virgins may feel assaulted on all sides by media messages that include sex in movies, on television and in magazines and newspapers. Virginity is either denounced as a fear of sex or praised as a courageous effort. But what exactly is the big deal surrounding virginity? The Catholic Dictionary defines virginity the following way: "There are two elements in virginity: the material element, that is to say, the absence, in the past and in the present, of all complete and voluntary delectation, whether from lust or from the lawful use of marriage; and the formal element, that is the firm resolution to abstain forever from sexual pleasure." Basically, according to Catholic dogma, you can be a virgin physically by never having been involved in penetration sex, but still be lacking that certain virgin spirituality that one can only maintain by resolving never to engage in any form of sexual activity. Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines a virgin as "a person who has not had sexual intercourse." It goes on to define sexual intercourse as "heterosexual intercourse involving penetration of the vagina by the penis." This definition gives rise to some interesting questions regarding the virginity of gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgendered folks, as well as the virginity of those who engage in oral or manual sexual activity. Can bisexual men and women be virginal toward one sex and nonvirginal toward another? Mike Hardcastle, a columnist at teenadvice.about.com, wrote, "In theory, under the traditional definition of virginity, someone who is homosexual can have sex every day and still be a virgin. Someone who has oral sex regularly is also still a virgin. Does that really make sense? Something is amiss!” Luckily, there is a second definition of sexual intercourse in Merriam-Webster's: “intercourse involving genital contact between individuals other than penetration of the vagina by the penis.” Well thanks M-W, how ambiguous can you be? So we've got “penetration of the vagina by the penis” and sexual activity “other than penetration of the vagina by the penis,” both defining the same word. It's a bit confusing. There are two schools of thought surrounding the status of a person's virginity. One says a person is a virgin until he or she penetrates or is penetrated by a sexual partner. The second idea is that a person is a virgin until he or she engages in any sexual activity that results in an orgasm. Some people believe that giving a blow job leaves one a virgin; others would disagree. As if that weren't confusing enough enter the members of Students Proud of Virginity. The co-founders of the group said virginity is a mind-set that must be maintained. So, the Catholic Church says you can be a virgin only if you've never engaged in penis-vagina sex and only if you've resolved never to experience sexual pleasure, presumably until marriage occurs. The teen advice columnist says it's silly to think of yourself as a virgin if you've had oral sex or if you're homosexual and constantly have sexual relations with your partner. Merriam-Webster, usually a tried and true guide in these sorts of ambiguous definition situations is little to no help and Students Proud of Virginity members would say you can be a virgin for as long as you visualize virginity as a goal. Ultimately, I suppose it comes down to personal choice. Choose what you believe and go with it. If you're a virgin the Catholic way, I applaud your courage. If you're a virgin but engage in oral sex every night, I say more power to you as long as you're being safe. Either way, e-mail me and let me know how you do it.

'The Royal Family' portrayed by energetic actors Described by the director as a Valentine to the American theater, University Theatre's production of The Royal Family is exactly like a belated Valentine: The sentiment is there, but it's too little too late. First staged in 1927, The Royal Family, written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, was a tribute to the then-first family of American theater — the Barrymores. John, Lionel and Ethel Barrymore were known as the greatest actors of their time, becoming household names before the invention of the matinee idol. The Royal Family follows the lives of the Cavendish family. Headed by Fanny Cavendish, the greatest Lady Macbeth of her day, the family is entering a new era. Fanny's daughter Julie is the most successful actress on Broadway, while Julie's daughter Gwen is about to make her stage debut. Tony, Fanny's son, has left the stage in favor of exploring the innovation of film. The action of the play begins when Julie is forced to make a decision between meeting with the author of her new play or meeting with the love who got away. She chooses meeting with author. But a similar choice lies with Gwen, who will co-star with her mother. Gwen is set to go to a tea hosted by her boyfriend's mother, but Julie persuades Gwen to attend the meeting with the author. Ultimately Gwen decides to forgo the meeting as well as an onstage career. Meanwhile, Tony has returned from Hollywood amid a cloud of rumors and lawsuits resulting from a fight with the director. For the most part, the actors portraying the Cavendish clan steal the show. Maureen Perry, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior, plays Julie Cavendish with a well-balanced mix of elegance and comedy, creating a character that is relatable and sympathetic. The theatrics through which Julie expresses herself could lead any actress down the road of over-acting, but Perry avoids acting for acting's sake. Betty Laird, Lawrence actress and guest artist, was chosen to play the role of Cavendish matriarch Fanny by Jack Wright, director and professor of theater and film. Laird is an experienced actress, having appeared in numerous movies, including Sarah Plain and Tall, and stage plays. She said that there was a romance about theater that did not exist with film. Laird's love for the theater shines through in her portrayal of Fanny, as the aging star prepares to head out on a revival tour of one of her greatest hits. Matthew G. Simon, Overland Park senior, brings an incredible amount of energy to the role of Tony, the eccentric, swashbuckling member of the family. Rita DeLoach, Overland Park senior, gives Gwen a level of sympathy as the child REVIEW Donovan Atkinson datkinson@kansan.com THE ROYAL FAMILY ... B+ The University Theatre will present The Royal Family, by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, at 7:30 p.m. March 6-8 at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre. The production is directed by Jack Wright, professor of theater and film. thrust into the family business. Aaron Champion, Overland Park senior, and Kelly Mengelkoch, Wichita senior, portrait Herbert and Kitty Dean, Fanny's brother and sister-in-law. Champion and Mengelkoch are wonderful as the squabbling, less-talented Deans, clueless to their lack of show business appeal. Much of the supporting cast didn't offer much support. Nearly every cast member who uses an accent manages to lose that accent at various points during the show. Isadore, Alexander; Wolfson; Omaha, Neb., senior, plays the Cavendishes' manager, Oscar Wolfe. During comedic moments, Wolfe comes across as a bad character type. Wolfson is excellent in the more dramatic scenes, showing care and concern for Fanny, especially when Wolfe and Julie discuss her future. The poodle in the third act exemplifies the advice to avoid sharing a scene with a dog. Immediately after walking on stage, the dog turned around, displaying its haunches and other parts of its anatomy to the audience. The set for the show is befitting for a royal family of the American stage. Designed by Delores Ringer, associate professor of theater and film, the set brings elegance to the term "duplex" with its art deco design. The costumes by Beth Collins, Sanderstead, England, graduate student, capture the glamour of the late 1920s. Collins has given dazzling gowns to Julie and wonderfully tacky flapper dresses to Kitty Dean. Despite the excellent design and leading cast, numerous line flubs and accidents on stage gave the performance the feeling of a dress rehearsal during much of the first act. Things managed to fall together by the second act, and it was soon enough to save the performance.

In his book, How Wal-Mart is Destroying America, Texas-based journalist Bill Quinn argues that every dollar spent in a local business will be spent again one or more times before it leaves the area. Money spent at the local hardware store is spent again with the local delivery company and again at the local diner. The money spent in Wal-Mart is shipped to a bank in Arkansas the next "I like to have an understanding of where things come from and what I consume," said Raney, a KU student studying at Haskell University this semester. "I like to know where my money's going, and it's easier to have accountability for that with a local business." To Lawrence shoppers like Bret Raney, an evil behemoth exists on the southwest corner of Seventh and Massachusetts streets. There, in the form of Starbucks, the Gap, American Eagle Outfitters and Abercrombie and Fitch, a corporate conglomerate of international businesses co-exists. According to locally conscious consumers like Raney, those businesses, and their corporate cousins around town, should be avoided at all costs, even if shopping locally does cost a little more. SEE DOWNTOWN ON NEXT PAGE Co-Directors of Downtown Lawrence Inc., Melodie E. Christal and Maria S. Martin, work to preserve and promote downtown Lawrence through their involvement in the community end with Downtown Lawrence Inc. Martin, the owner of Southwest And More, 727 Massachusetts St., said, "Shopping local gives the customer real individual service." THURSDAY,MARCH 6,2003 COVER STORY THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 9 Downtown CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE morning, Quinn said. While those numbers may be accurate, it's hard to argue that the corporate retailers in downtown Lawrence have done much to thwart the goals of their locally owned counterparts. In some instances, the presence of those stores might actually bring more shoppers to the area, said Downtown Lawrence Inc. co-director Melodie E. Christal. "They're businesses people were going out of town for anyway, before they moved in," Christal said. She said she would rather have people shopping at the corporate retailers downtown than going somewhere else to shop. So far that seems to be the case. When Borders moved into downtown Lawrence on the corner of Seventh and New Hampshire streets more than six years ago, the retail giant's arrival was supposed to be the death knell for local bookstores like The Raven Book- ore. Similar predictions were made for the fate of "I wouldn't say it helped our business, but it could have made people more aware of us, and made them more conscious of shopping at a locally owned store." Jill Reese La Prima Tazza employee locally owned La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St., when Starbucks Coffee came to Lawrence a few years later. To date both businesses are alive and well. Jill Reese, La Prima Tazza employee for five years, said she had been interested in how the community would respond when Starbucks moved in, and so far the effects had been positive. Reese attributed most of those positive effects to increased local support since the grande coffee retailer "I like to have an understanding of where things come from and what I consume.I like to know where my money's going, and it's easier to have accountability for that with a local business." Brandon Baket/Kansan Bret Raney Pat Kehde, co-owner of The Raven Bookstore, continues to do business with local residents though Borders Books, Music & Cafe is a block around the corner. "The day Borders opened was our biggest day ever," Kehde said about the competition of corporations and the amount of support local shoppers have given The Raven. M. J. H. L. Brandon Baker/Kansan 10 Bret Raney, Lawrence senior, rides the bus to and home from Haskell Indian Nations University, where he attends classes. Raney has been trying to support only local business for three years because that gives him a sense of connection. "I like to have a closer impact on things," Raney said about why he preferred local to corporate products. "I think Lawrence is extremely fortunate because the downtown has retained this aura as an interesting, boutiquey sort of place." Pat Kehde Co-owner of The Raven Bookstore moved in across the street at 647 Massachusetts St. "I wouldn't say it helped our business, but it could have made people more aware of us, and made them more conscious of shopping at a locally owned store," Reese said. Pat Kehde, co-owner of the The Raven Bookstore, 8 E. Seventh St., agrees with Reese. A combination of increased awareness among shoppers about local businesses and a renewed commitment to customer service has helped her store stand out from the big box across the street, Kehde said. She estimates that The Raven does 50 to 100 special orders for customers every week. The store offers a discount card for repeat customers that gives them a $10 discount for every $75 spent. But Kehde knows it's more than just the service offered inside her store that brings shoppers downtown. "I think Lawrence is extremely fortunate because the downtown has retained this aura as an interesting, boutique sort of place," Kehde said. "The buildings are unique, they aren't these big, monolithic structures, and people come from out of town looking for that. If it wasn't here they'd be disappointed." When people aren't looking for that aura they can shop online, a prospect that has done more to hurt the The Raven's business than Borders ever did, Kehde said. Kehde said that the aura of downtown Lawrence helped businesses like hers survive and strive. When it comes to loyal, local customers like Bret Raney though, Kehde has nothing to fear from the Internet. Even though the World Wide Web offers the kind of variety Raney craves, the Springfield, Mo., native knows real success for local business starts at home. "I think variety is a pretty good reason not to have one company dominate a market because then there's less room for individuality and people become the same: one, huge, monolithic world where everyone dresses the same," Raney said. "And, as they say, variety is the spice of life." — Edited by Christy Dendurent 10 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FILM THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 'Cradle 2 the Grave'lacks excitement The problem with these movies today is you never get what you pay for. A martial arts-rap hybrid like Cradle 2 the Grave, with its shoestring plot and zombie lead actors, should have no other purpose than to bang out endless, operatic fight sequences. Because of tired genre conventions, though, the film opens with an elaborate heist followed by a full hour of virtually no action. REVIEW This time, the not-so-grand larceny is perpetrated by DMX as Fait, whose name is pronounced "faith" — appropriate enough because he has some. Fait breaks into a vault to rip off a loot of black diamonds. Lots of hardware and drilling through walls ensues. Luckily, Anthony Anderson (who previously ripped off an ATM machine in Barbershop) shows up as a decoy to seduce a gay security guard. His answer to hearing the guard has a boyfriend? "That bitch." Then the film cuts back to the routine heist. That's the trouble with Cradle 2 the Grave it keeps cutting away from the stuff you want to see. It's never more than serviceable. Every few minutes I got the urge to pull the filmmakers aside so I could give them some pointers. Stephen Shupe sshupe@kansan.com Because of tired genre conventions, the film opens with an elaborate heist followed by a full hour of virtually no action. One suggestion might be to just stand back and let Jet Li kick some ass. Playing a character named Su who's so underdeveloped it's less than one-dimensional (it's more like 1/2-dimensional), Li rarely gets a chance to showcase his poetic acrobatics. Except for a brief rumble in the ring, the 21st Century answer to Bruce Lee remains ponderously earthbound. This guy's a magician and the film robs him of his bag of tricks. Also out on the town with nowhere to go is DMX. Fait finds out the diamonds he stole have nuclear capabilities and teams up with Su to stop them from falling into the wrong hands. The man who fought Steven Seagal in the rain in Exit Wounds looks stolid and chivalrous — and also ready to go to sleep. It's clear that if he's not acting out, DMX prefers not to act at all. He has a tender scene when he prays with his 8-year-old daughter, but that's a set-up for a kidnapping, so let's not count that. At one point, DMX walks up a wall like a ninja. It's a cool idea to blend cultures and conventions like that, but this was the only time I felt the film tried to change some of the East-meets-West vocabulary created by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. Otherwise, Li and DMX are walking clichés, predictably spewing their respective Asian and African-American stereotypes. Speaking of those, Cradle 2 the Grave doesn't just exploit stereotypes; it seems built from the ground up by them. Gabrielle Union plays a Halle Berry-styled prostitute who gets beaten up after giving a guy a lap dance. Li is, well ... just name the last American movie that starred a regular CRADLE2 THE GRAVE ... C Starring: DMX, Jet Li and Gabrielle Union Rated R for violence, language and some sexual content. Playing at South Wind 12 Theatres, 3433 Iowa St. Asian guy minus a kung-fu connection and lunch is on me. Worst of all is the film's Raiders of the Lost Ark-inspired finale, with a collection of baddies smiling into the light just before their faces melt off. The light here belongs to a nuclear device, and the baddies are mostly made up of Middle Easterners. Barring how ludicrously insensitive it is to release a film with a nuclear subplot on the same day Eric Idle is joking about the "Nuclear Winter Olympics" on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, casting Arabs as potential buyers of a bomb borders on unforgivable.

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. Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson and Will Ferrell head back to college in Old School. — 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. Ben Affleck plays a blind Hell's Kitchen lawyer who sees audible objects in his head and haunts dreary New York rooftops to brutalize bad guys. Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrel look alternately smug and stranded as the rich babe Elektra and the evil Bullseye, respectively. 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. -ss 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 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. --ss 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. Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus The Life of David Gale has the courage of its own convictions. What it lacks is the grace to transmit them with subtlety. The Life of David Gale Grade: C+ 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? Overwrought and over-directed, The Life of David Gale has ideas worth considering, but its largest group of advocates will be the already converted. — KRT Campus 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. -ss Nicholas Nickleby Grade: B+ It sounds like a boring costume-drama for the Merchant-Ivory crowd, so don't let that title fool you: This is a major entertainment with a huge cast. Adapted from Dickens, Nickleby features more screen luminaries than a P.T. Anderson picture including Jim Broadbent, Alan Cumming. Nathan Lane and Christopher Plummer. With a beginning like Oliver Twist and an ending that's a logical alternative to A Christmas Carol, the film remains faithful to Dickensian misery while still giving you a lift and emanating a warm tonal glow. Nickleby's one Achilles heel is the actor cast in the title role, Charlie Hunnam. He's sincere, though, and he shouldn't keep you from striking a blow for good taste by going to see this wonderfully literate film. Old School -ss Grade: B+ 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. When Mitch (Luke Wilson) breaks up with his longtime girlfriend (Juliette Lewis), he and his buddies (Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell) move into a house near the local university, where they proceed to form their own fraternity. A movie that spoofs the greek experience has the artistic license to be rowdy, bawdy and completely lacking in moral fiber. The director, Todd Phillips, plays by those rules while also giving the film an exquisite sixth sense for the kitsch 1980s nostalgia most yuppies just can't escape. And as a newlywed streaking his way to a quick divorce, Ferrell goes Farley in a comedy that's savvy enough to give him free rein. -SS Grade: A- The Pianist 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. Adrien Brody, in a physically brilliant performance, stars as Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish pianist who survived virtually on his own for four years in the ghetto. If the film's isolationist storyline is a turn-off, be aware that director Roman Polanski keeps the canvas wide with multiple characters throughout. 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 12 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MUSIC THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 Get Rich or Die Tryin by 50 Cent Reviewed by Nate Harold nharold@kansan.com In recent memory, no other debut has been as hyped and anticipated as New York rapper 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Upon its release, the album scorched the Billboard charts and became the highest-selling debut album since Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle. In some ways the new release does live up to the hype; in others, it falls short. With executive producers Dr. Dre and Eminem masterminding the effort, 50 Cent comes off as menacing and oddly likable at the same time. 50 CENT PARENTAL ADVISION Contributed ar With a history of selling crack and having been shot nine times, 50 has more than enough credibility to back his rhymes. On the track, "Many Men," 50 raps, "I walk around / gun on my waist / chip on my shoulder / til I bust a clip in your face." Lyrics like these are nothing new to gangsta rap, but 50 delivers them in such an honest manner that he creates a sense of realism that is lacking in many rappers. On "Back Down," 50 confronts MTV darling Ja Rule, with whom he has had a long-running dispute. "You can buy cars but can't buy respect in the hood / Maybe I'm so disrespectful because to me you're a mystery," 50 spews about Ja's questionable past. In contrast with this, 50 can pull off the popular party tracks like "In Da Club" as effectively as his confrontational material. This transitional ability could be credited to the production team that includes Dr. Dre, Eminem, musician Mike Elizondo, among many others. The team has constructed memorable beats with an unbelievably fierce kick drum, unexpected use of steel drums, crystal clear synthesizer, guitar, bass and string passages and tasteful uses of multi-tracked vocals. 50 is one of the few rappers who can occasionally pull off singing his own chorus, rather than bringing in additional vocalists on every song. (Does anyone remember P. Diddy's "singing" on "Come With Me"?) The most evident weak point of this album is the lyrics. 50 tends to not stray from typical gangsta rap fare for a majority of the tracks. However, this can be overlooked because of his slow, relaxed drawl that separates him from the hip hop pack. Overall, Get Rich or Die Tryin' is a strong debut. It may not be ground breaking or completely new, but 50 nevertheless has created a record that is believable and appealing to a broad audience. Let's hope the ninth bullet was the last. Grade: B Electric Sweat by The Mooney Suzuki Reviewed by Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Look all around and seemingly everywhere in the pop culture world appears a reference to times gone by. Musicians, typically rappers, commonly wear retro-style sports uniforms, which also appear in every sporting goods store at bloated prices. The music scene itself went through an uncommonly long and unusually uncreative stretch of retro-copying music. Bands like The Hives and The Strokes shamelessly stole the image and sounds of 1970's era punk bands, and The Hives going so far as to pull an image cop-off of the Rolling Stones. With native New Yorkers punk/garage band The Mooney Suzuki's new album Electric Sweat,the band accomplishes much of the same as fellow rip-off artists, however it is not so bad. Any band can get together and copy a sound exactly like the one they intended, like The Strokes did. The Mooney Suzuki at least manages to bring in sounds and influences from bands unlike their sound and cultivating it to a sound a bit more original and refreshing. Sounding at times like a fast Elvis Presley cover band, The Mooney Suzuki energetically plows through its 35-minute album with songs largely about love with THE MODNEY SIEWKI ELECTRIC SWEAT lyrics and themes from the same vein of Presley and other R&B artists of the time. Contributed art Sammy James Jr.'s shaky, yet passionate vocals sufficiently compliments the harried, sloppy tone of music the artists and producer probably intended to make.

Little variations in style make the album difficult at times to get through. Along with the adamant, unchanging musical style comes an unyielding approach to lyrics that never strays away from the overused love theme, evidenced by songs like "Oh Sweet Susanna," "A Little Bit Of Love" and "The Broken Heart." 10. ERLEND OYE ... Unrest Grade: B- With the retro style alive and well, especially among the pop culture music scene, there surely lies an audience for The Mooney Suzuki. Pulling from a different style than most cop-off bands are willing to venture into, punk fans at least won't get this CD mixed up with their Sham 69 albums like they probably did with The Hives. These Are The Vistas by The Bad Plus Reviewed by Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com After developing somewhat of a cult following, the band jumped forth with its recent major-label album. The Minnesota band entered the underground jazz scene with its first self-titled album in 2001 and gained a reputation largely from its interesting live shows. Followers of the jazz scene, which is in a state of regeneration or decay depending on who you talk to these days, receive a decent kick start back to prominence and legitimacy with The Bad Plus' new release These Are The Vistas. These Are The Vistas features somewhat of an avante garde style of jazz, an area of jazz still mostly untouched. With a lineup of only a pianist (Ethan Iverson), bassist (Ried Anderson) and drums (David King), the album is to the jazz scene as Kenneth Anger films were to the movie scene, largely experimental. Nothing on the album seems more experimental and as successful as the cover of Nirvana's alternative uberhit "Smells Like Teen Spirit." A total deconstruction of = Contributed art the individual verse-chorus-verse elements of the original are reconstructed in an intentionally slipshod manner. The result is an unfocused, yet oddly balanced jazz rendition of the original, punctuated with offbeat drumming and seemingly random shifts among different elements of the song. Also covered on the album is Blondie's "Heart of Glass," which is similar to the previous two covers. Showing the band's versatility is its cover of rough techno artist Aphex Twin's song "Film." The band embarks upon a similar quest of stripping down an already original song and throwing it all back together to make a competent cover tune. The original tunes on the album are decent but not remarkable. The theme keeping the album interesting is the different approach to jazz, departing from the typically tight and structured composition of jazz and arriving to a vastly deconstructed and raw version of the age-old genre. The resulting product should satisfy newcomers as well as hardened jazz enthusiasts looking for something a bit different. Grade: B --- THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2003 VIDEO GAMES THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 13 'Duelist'difficult to play on first try I must say, I'm a big fan of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. And I tried out Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories for PlayStation. So I wanted to see what the sequel was going to be like. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelist of the Roses is a complex strategy-based game for the PlayStation 2. It's a hard game to understand at first but once you learn all the aspects, you'll soon be a fast paced duelist. REVIEW Chris Moore cmoore@kansan.com Duelist of the Roses carries some of the same merits from its predecessor and comes with a whole new gaming style. Most of the graphics from the first game are carried over, but there are a few differences. For one, the animation from the monsters fighting comes automatically this time, so you don't have to push different buttons to see them duke it out. You begin the game as whoever you want to be. You have been summoned from PlayStation 2 MARIO KRONIC II UNDERWATER BATTLE MARIO KRONIC II UNDERWATER BATTLE E Contributed art your time to take part in a great war. The Lancaster House (The Red Rose side) wants to save the world, while the York House (The White Rose side) wants to enslave it. The catch: You must decide which side to be on. However, the overall mission is the same for you. You travel up and down Europe, meeting duelists along the way, obtaining their Rose Cards and trying to get back to your own time. By possessing all 16 Rose Cards you can get back to your home. From the start, the game is difficult. You must choose from three decks to be your starter deck. Each deck has a deck leader. certain effects on the battle. I beat the game, butI never got an ability for my leader. The more tasks a monster card does, the more promotions it will receive. The deck leader, once powerful enough, will have The dueling system for this game has drastically changed. The person who summoned you at the beginning of the game tells you that the duelists use a thing called "Perfect Rule." This means that you must strategically place your cards and move them across a giant board. It's sort of like Yu-Gi-Oh! meets chess. The key to a successful duel is positioning your cards and looking for the right opportunity to attack. This wasn't my style for the game.I like the regular rules for the trading card game rather than the new one. One way to play could be to take a strong monster and slaughter your way through countless monsters, but once you get further in the game, that becomes more difficult to do. You must take everything into account. The terrain on the game board, the positioning of certain cards and the placing of your deck leader are all important factors. Once you become a certain ranked duelist, you'll be able to have destiny draw and try to draw a card that will tip the duel in your favor. I thought this was a great aspect YU-GI-OH!: THE DUELIST OF THE ROSES ... C Now available for Playstation 2 Sells for an average retail price of $50 Rated E for Everyone for the game to carry, but it's hard to achieve. One annoying aspect of the game is that to obtain a rose card from someone, your deck cost must be lower than your opponent's. The cards you possess have a certain cost to them that determines their effectiveness. This feature of the game is ridiculous. You may even have to resort to putting in cards you don't need to meet the deck requirements. But over time you'll be able to get around this part. My deck on the last boss was about 900 points less than his, but I still managed to win. I preferred the old way of dueling rather than moving my monsters around like chess pieces.

These favorite Mexican-American classics only scrape the surface of Mexican food. Some people are confused when scanning the menu at local eateries. Most Mexican foods found in American restaurants use Antojitos Mexicanos, which are the corn- and flour-based wrapped tortilla dishes. This includes all specialties mentioned above, plus items like taquitos, flautas, chimichangas, tostadas, chilaquiles and tamales. Yes, you've seen such names on menus, but what exactly are these specialties? Gorditas: Gorditas are made with tortilla dough, including ingredients of wheat and sometimes potato. They are cut into small circles then cooked and sometimes deep fried. As the dough expands when being cooked, the gordita can be peeled open and filled with meats, beans and cheeses. Chilaquiles: Chilaquiles are crisp fried tortilla chips. The fried chips are mixed with either a red, green or tomatillo-based chile sauce and heated, often with chicken and cheese. Here's a quick lesson in Spanish 101: Chimichangas: Chimichangas are simply deep-fried burritos, topped with green chili sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. Empanadas: This is a pastry filled with either fruits, cheeses or meats. Flautas: A Flauta consists of a large corn tortilla filled with meats and then rolled like a cigar around the filling. It is deepfried and served with salsa and guacamole. Tamales: These are made of tortilla dough filled with a variety of meats, seafood or vegetables and fruit, and usually wrapped in a corn husk and steamed. EAT THIS Taquitos: Taquitos are just like flautas but are made with smaller tortillas. Tostadas: This is a medium-sized corn tortilla, fried. Toppings include a layering of refried beans, meats, cheeses, lettuce and tomatoes and topped with sour cream. With a little more familiarity of Mexican cuisine, when ordering next time at your favorite Mexican hot spot, try a chimichanga or tamale. Tacos and burritos don't have to be the only options any more in your spicy diet, so go ahead and try the unusual. You just might adopt a new Mexican favorite.

I had just finished a killer mix tape consisting of Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative," Poison's "Every Rose Has its Thorn," NKOTB's "Hangin' Tough," and Milli Vanilli's "Blame it on the Rain," for my girlfriend Shauna. We had been through some rough times and I thought that nothing said, "I'm sorry for being so inadequate," quite like an expertly mixed and colorfully labeled hi-fi audio tape. Unfortunately, I found out later that day that Shauna and my best friend Skylar had been engaging in sexual relations for the better part of nine months. Apparently they had been hanging out with me solely for the use of my dad's '87 Bonneville and three Paula Abdul tickets I'd scored during a Lazer-Tag tournament. A young Thomas Collins was never the same. That night I watched "Tron," got drunk on Apple Pucker, thought about life, puked up the aforementioned Pucker, and then cried myself to sleep on what, at the time, was a very cool "HammerTime" bed set. Awaking the next day to a hangover, I was confused and jaded about love, sex and whether or not the digitally constructed gladiator world of "Tron" would ever come to be. But one thing was certain: I would resurrect my virginity and save it for someone truly special. 13 years, 3 months later. Still a virgin. I haven't yet found that special someone, and thus I remain true to the promise I made 13 years ago. Has it been tough staying true and upholding the virtues I so long ago subscribed to? No. Actually, it's been easy ... way too easy. I haven't even been tempted once to "give it up." In fact, I've been willing to compromise myself and "give it up" for quite some time to virtually anyone willing. Now, I haven't asked for an attractive lady, just someone with all the right parts. Or any parts. Anyone. Anything. Seriously, I bring a lot to the table, like $87, a futon in an 8 bedroom house on Ohio (within walking distance to campus) and a $25 gift certificate to Chili's (dessert, of course, will be on, and all over you). Screw virtues. It's time for me to come clean ... in a dirty way. The only reason I'm still a virgin is because I'm unsuccessful with women, not because I'm saving anything special for that "one lucky lady." I suppose nothing's changed for me in the past 13 years. Aside from acquiring 125 lbs., Hepatitis (both A & C), and a stray dog named Hack, I'm still the same lonely Tom I was when Shauna left me. In fact, last night I bought a mini-sampler of Pucker, watched my special edition DVD of Captain Ron for the ninth time in four days and wrote six very regrettable e-mails. Such is the life of a quasi-virgin bachelor. Nonetheless, it's not really as bad as it sounds. I've got some numbers I'm going to call (2 subletters and 3 foreign language tutors), and a couple of girls in my classes dress like they want it. So I've got that goin' for me. But really, don't have sex until you're ready and find that special someone. Or until you e-mail that special someone at beak@kansan.com to set up a time and location, or find that special someone sitting at Harbour Lights on Mass Street on virtually any afternoon wearing sweat pants and a short-sleeve Hawaiian shirt. $87. Futon. Awesome Blossom. Best deal in town, ladies. Collins is a Buffalo, N.Y. communications majorwho has studied at the University since 1992. Student stuck in tree By Lom Tehren beak@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A University of Kansas student was rescued yesterday from a tree where he had been stranded for three weeks following a freak sledding accident. Ryan Clinger, Dallas sophomore, was forced to live on nuts, berries and other scavenged food for most of February. "I thought I would be up there for the rest of my life." Clinger said. Clinger became lodged in the tree after his sled hit a large root that propelled him hundreds of feet in the air. The tree, not having any lower branches, left Ryan at a precarious height and in a horrible situation. Making do with the resources he had, Clinger used icicles for water and small storages of nuts left by squirrels for food. After a week, supplies ran low, forcing Clinger to nocturnally hunt the squirrels that had previously sustained him with their winter storages. Jack Patterson, Hoisington senior. heard Clinger shouting and came back soon after with a ladder for Ryan to climb down the 30 feet that separated him from the ground. In the process of living in the tree, Clinger developed a zest for peace and a guilt-driven concern for all forms of life. "I guess he figured while he was up there he might as well make peace with them critters," said Patterson. After descending, the two went to Yello Sub where Clinger consumed a foot-long Green Turkey in less than three minutes and notified his loved ones that he was okay. After dining, Clinger's state from ravenous to contemplative. "I think that I shall never see a prison as lovely as a tree," said Clinger. "The cold perfume of bark has raised the anticipation of sensational revolutions in my unsettled life. Violence has begotten peace, peace has fluttered away in agitation. A bewildered change has turned among the roots and the Prince's kiss is as far at sea as ever. But this act for me has come to an end. The world is new." 1. photo by Spencer Roberts/Kansan Ryan Clinger clutches tenaciously to his perch in a tree at Campanile Park.

For example, they could chat online with another person's characters without having to use the phone item or go over to their house. Also, it could boost the character's social bar, as well."

The store will be holding a candle-light vigil Friday evening, to be followed by a full-day "Owner Evisceration Blowout." According to promotional materials, "prices will be gouged, slashed, bitten, and crunched into small pieces, then the pieces will be ground into still smaller pieces, until the earth runs red with the blood of lowered prices, from noon until 6:00 pm." — Justin Ward Jacob Marley surprises Reggae fans Attendees of last Thursday's Bob Marley tribute were paid a surprise visit by an oft-forgotten member of the Marley family. Jacob Marley, business partner of Ebenezer Scrooge and self-proclaimed "Rasta Head," left the spirit world for Liberty Hall after repeatedly receiving the message, "Dude, I wish Marley were here." Jacob joined DJ Lionub for "Supernatural Mystic," on which he swung his chains to the backbeat.

Omaha, Neb., junior, said she was disappointed that the student protest was postponed, but was pleased with the turnout yesterday. Despite changing the date of the "Books not Bombs: Students Against the War with Iraq" student protest, approximately 150 people gathered on Wescoe Beach yesterday to debate a possible war with Iraq. The national day for the "Books not Bombs" student walkout was Wednesday, but was postponed until yesterday due to inclement weather. Amanda Flott. "I thought it was very constructive today with lots of differing view points," Flott said. Roksana Alavi, Oklahoma City graduate student in philosophy, got into heated debates about her stance on going to war. Alavi was born in Iran and lived there until she moved to the United States at age 15. Coming to America allowed her family to move away from the dictatorship of the government, limited options for women and the draft for boys as young as 13 years old, which included her little brother. Having lived through bombings and violent conditions, Alavi said she had different insight into war and could not support a preemptive strike. At some points Alavi raised her voice and pointed fingers at people who were supportive of war, but said she enjoyed having the opportunity to debate. Jegen McDermott/Kansan debatet. "I think this is excellent because there has been a lot of dialogue today," Alavi said. "I really admire the minority that came to learn and hear us. That took a lot of courage." The majority of participants were anti war activists, but a small group of students supportive of the war made sure that their voices were heard. "I wanted to make sure there was a range of political persuasions of the student body communicated at this protest," said Leo Khayet, Overland Park sophomore. Nathan Clark, Kingman sophomore, listens to Dujan Shermanwash, Kansas City, Kan, freshman argue his position on the possible war with Iraq. Many students with different stances took place in yesterday's protest on Wescoe Beach. The protest began with an open mic session for anyone to voice their concerns about a potential war in Iraq. Soon after anti-war students started speaking to the crowd, a few people with opposing opinions started questioning the propeace points. The structured atmosphere of the crowd intently listening to one speaker at a time quickly dissolved as students broke into small groups to debate each other.

Cornette of Excelsior Springs, Mo., and Allen of St. Joseph, Mo., won a free wedding contest sponsored by Mix 93.3, a Kansas City, Mo. radio station, and The Kansas City Star. Kansas City stores and organizations have donated more than $40,000 in merchandise. Listeners selected the couple after they submitted an essay and photograph. Jon Zellner, operations manager at Mix 95.3 helped narrow down the list of hundreds of applicants. Zellner said he thought listeners chose the couple because of their creative essay that describes how they met. "I think what really got listeners to vote for us was the whole KU/MU thing," Allen said. "Amber went to KU, but I am a Mizzou graduate." Allen and Cornette met on New Year's Eve in 2001. Cornette was stood up the night she met Allen at Velvet Dog, a bar in Kansas City, Mo.

Kelley Weiss/Kansan Moving past the rumors Bohl keeps faith amidst criticism By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In the early 1960s, when Al Bohl was young, he had a job at Kishman Fish Company in Vermillion, Ohio, shoveling fish from the boats into boxes. The Kansas athletics director said the job smelled horrific. "Probably the biggest promotion I've ever gotten was when I got moved into the barns, and I became one of the guys who made the boxes that the fish were put into." Bohl said. "There was such an improvement in the smell." Bohl said the moral of the story was that no man was better than any other man. A picture of Kishman on Bohl's office wall serves as the reminder of that idiom. want serves as the诫命," I "I've always believed that if you work hard, are honest, and have integrity and faith in the Lord, things will work out," Bohl said. bom said. But recently, questions about Bohl's honesty and integrity have come into play as rumors swirled about his possible firing. The questions surfaced about three weeks ago, after Fresno State was investigated for academic fraud, and continued when suspicions about Bohl's relationship with coaches had local media in a sandstorm. Bohl said he had no idea where the rumors came from. The Kansas City Star published an article Wednesday claiming that Bohl does not have a good relationship with C. R. WILSON Bohl either basketball coach Roy Williams or football coach Mark Mangino. In it, his dealings with Mangino are referred to as cordial, while at his press conference, Williams said their relationship was "professional." "We're all just members of a team," Bohl said. "And we work to try and maintain and build a successful athletics program." Bohl said Williams was one of the reasons he took the job at Kansas. "I took this job because of the prospects of being in the Big 12, and the strength of the basketball program," Bohl said. "Roy Williams is about so much more than just basketball, with the type of players he recruits and the way he develops character." The frenzy has since died down to a whisper in the dark, and the athletics director job is still his, at least for now. Fresno State has since cleared Bohl, saying that he had no fault in the violation, which will keep the Bulldogs basketball team from the Western Athletic Conference tournament and any post-season play afterwards. The Star also claimed that Bohl did not have much interaction with Williams and Mangino. Bohl said that the way the athletics department was structured, interaction with coaches was not necessarily what he does on a daily basis. SEE BOHL ON PAGE 8A Nursing school welcomes more male students By Nikki Overfelt noverfelt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer David Benson's friends always jokingly ask him when he's going to get his white hat and white hose. The reason for this joke: Benson, Overland Park senior, is one of 20 male students out of the 242 in the registered nurse program at the University of Kansas Nursing School. Although he is outnumbered by quite a bit in the school, he doesn't feel like the minority at all, Benson said. "We all get treated equally," he said Approximately 5.4 percent of registered nurses in the United States are men, according to the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses. "Once they figure out that the white hat and white hose are a myth and that you are doing a lot of patient care and a lot of other things, the stereotype fades away," he said. Survey of Registered Nurses The stereotype that nurses are female is apparent, Benson said, but it gets better once people hear about his job responsibilities. Benson, who originally got a degree in respiratory therapy at the University before going back to be a nurse, likes the patient care aspect of nursing. "It's a really rewarding profession." he said. "You don't get that kind of reward for task-oriented professions. You can actually see the results." The nursing profession is gaining respect nationwide, Benson said. The jobs of nurses are no longer just seen as running errands for the doctor. Today, especially through technology, nurses are able to work in more specialized areas, he said. For example, Benson eventually wants to be a nurse in anesthesiology. The nursing school is seeing an increase in male students interested in nursing, said Rita Clifford, associate dean of student affairs for the nursing David Benson Overland Park senior "Once they figure out that the white hat and white hose are a myth and that you are doing a lot of patient care and a lot of other things, the stereotype fades away." school. Although for the Fall 2003 semester, the school saw a decrease in the number of males admitted, she said. Enrolling more male students is a goal for Recruiting male students isn't easy for the school, Clifford said. "We would if we knew how," she said. It's hard to know where to target just males, she said. The school does try to send out a male student on recruiting visits. Clifford said, especially when the students go to grade schools, so students can see the opportunities available for males. "We try to be inclusive in every place." she said.

Cate Batchelder LAWRENCE City commission divided on homeless shelter issue It's been a tough week for supporters of a proposed homeless shelter that would be willing to accept clients who have been drinking. Members of the board were faced with a lack of unexpected opposition at a meeting Monday evening for concerned Oread residents. Around 2 a.m.yesterday,the Doug las County Planning Commission stopped short of recommending approval of a proposed open shelter for the homeless with a 4-to-4 vote. A tie-vote from the Planning Commission means the shelter is officially not recommended to the Lawrence City Commission. Sheila Stogsdill, assistant planning director, said that essentially equaled a recommendation for denial. JJ Hensley "I think for most of the commissioners it became an issue of whether or not the land-use is appropriate." Stogsdill said. "They saw the potential for a negative impact on the neighborhood with the concentration of social services providers already in that area." Proponents of the shelter, to be located at 944 Kentucky St., will need at least a 4-to-1 vote from the city commission to open. City officials expect the item to appear on the March 25 agenda. NATION Computer hacker steals data from UT students, employees AUSTIN, Texas — Hackers broke into a University of Texas database and stole the names, Social Security numbers and e-mail addresses of more than 55,000 students, former students and employees, officials said. A preliminary evaluation found no evidence the information was used to illegally obtain credit cards or withdraw money from bank accounts, said Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Pitman. School officials said they were notifying the victims. Travis County prosecutor Ronnie Earle said search warrants related to the case were served late Wednesday in Austin and Houston. No arrests had been made by yesterday afternoon The theft was discovered Sunday when employees found a computer malfunction, according to Dan Upddegrove, the university's vice president for information technology who described the incident on the school's Web site. Updegrove acknowledged the breach could have been prevented with basic precautions. The Associated Press KUJHTV NEWS AFFILIATES Tune into KUJH for the news tonight at 5:30,7,9,and 11.

WHEEEEEE. 9TH & MASS --- 11 2 FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 34 Guru does math for money Bob Kinsley Fred Galvin, professor of mathematics and pinball wizard, rocks the Kaspars Bar & Grill pinball machine once a week. Brandon Baker/Kansan By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer "There are many issues in the world that would make a good story, people won't care about me," said Fred Galvin, professor of mathematics. Galvin sits in his office chewing on a candy bar and pours the last drops of coffee from an insulated bottle into his cup. After five minutes, Galvin will open another candy bar and drink the remains of his coffee. Galvin is painfully shy and reluctant to talk about himself, until he begins talking about "Uncle Paul," who paid Galvin a total of $125 for solving his math problems. "Uncle Paul," also known as Paul Herdos, was a Hungarianborn mathematician who is considered to be the most prolific mathematician of all time. In an article for Life magazine, the writer said Herdos "felt about numbers the way some people feel about their children." During Herdos' life he could recite details of the 1,475 papers he had written or co-authored. Galvin co-authored six published papers with Herdos. For more than six decades, Herdos lived out of a single ratty suitcase while he crisscrossed four continents speaking at universities and collaborating with other mathematicians. In 1954, Herdos began giving away his money as prizes for mathematicians who could solve problems that he had come up with and couldn't solve. Galvin said that Uncle Paul spoke at Berkeley when he was an untuned professor right out of graduate school. Galvin answered one of Herdos' math problems in 1967 and received a $100 check in the mail. "I didn't know what the check was for," Galvin said, "so I went to the Blind Lemon, a beer and wine pub on San Pablo Avenue, and bought beer for everyone that was there." When Galvin realized it was the prize check for answering the problem,he called Herdos and asked for the canceled check as a souvenir. Unlike Herdos, who often used Ritalin and Benzedride to help him concentrate, Galvin used only coffee and nicotine to aid his concentration. In 1972, Galvin answered another problem and received a check for $25. Galvin is in his 28th year as a math professor at University of Kansas. He attended undergraduate school and graduate school at the University of Minnesota. Jeffrey Katz, Northbrook, Ill. senior, and student in Galvin's finite math class, said Galvin seemed like a mathematical genius. "He knows a lot of trivia and supposedly is one of the best chess players." he said. Galvin has competed in chess tournaments in Hungary and was once the Kansas state champion "I wasn't that good, but I got very lucky." Galvin said. In his free time, Galvin enjoys the trivia games at local bars, chess, and pinball. "If you see a high score with the initials PHD at any pinball machines, that is me," Galvin said. Symposium highlights studies By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer — Edited by Christy Dendurent Adam Miles didn't know much about adult literacy six months ago. Now he considers himself an expert on the topic. Miles will join almost 70 undergraduates in all disciplines for the sixth annual Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Symposium from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union. Miles, Ellinwood junior, worked with a small group of students and Kansas City Consensus, a nonprofit organization, to study adult literacy in the Kansas City metropolitan area as part of a requirement for his public service and civic leadership minor. "We were trying to see the scope of the problem that actually exists." Miles said. "This kind of research lets you take an issue that you know very little about and become an expert in that field or topic." The participating students will present the results of their research and creative activity with oral, poster and video presentations. Research projects include manufactured housing design in Native American communities, analysis and prediction of epileptic seizures and the flexural stiffness of a bee antennae. "I really think that, in a way, an undergraduate experience isn't complete without contributing to your major by discovering or making something new," Barbara Schowen, director of the Honors Program, said. Sarah Thimsen, Sioux Falls, S.D., senior, completed psychology research on voting trends to contribute to a chapter about Supreme Court justice voting practices in a forthcoming book by Larry Wrightsman, professor of psychology. She looked for consistency across cases in voting trends during the 2001-2002 Supreme Court session. "This Supreme Court decisions affect everyone's life, either indirectly or directly." Thimsen said. Oral presentations will be from 9:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium, video presentations will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parlor rooms of the Union, and poster presentations will be from noon to 2 p.m. in the Union ballroom. Many undergraduate projects are funded by the University's Undergraduate Research Award program with funding from the Center for Research, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the provost's office. Edited by Michelle Burhenn Senate to honor organizations By Cate Batcheler cbatcheler@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students, faculty and organizations who want a pat on the back will get that chance. Student Senate is taking notice of those feeling underappreciated and deserving of credit in its first achievement awards in leadership and service. Awards will be given in the areas of outstanding student organization, adviser, student organization member, organization project and new student organization. "Organizations are essential and crucial to life at KU," said Claire Zeigler, awards banquet co-organizer. Zeigler, Senate communications director, said one of the reasons Senate should include organizations into its end-of-the-year banquet was because Senate was responsible for funding them. After Senate funds organizations, it doesn't always get to see all the work they do with that money. The banquet would bring those organizations and students under radar again, she said. depts under radar again, the The Center for Community Outreach will apply and maybe win in all award categories for which they are eligible, said Margaret Perkins-McGuinness, CCO director. CCO initiated several programs that could be eligible for awards this year such as its Children's Holiday and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. She said the MLKJr.project was not only successful, but also new this year. "I think we do a lot of really good things," she said. "So I think we stand a good chance, but other organizations are doing good things, too." Even if CCO doesn't win any awards, Perkins-McGuinness said CCO's projects were worthy of the time and effort that members put into them.

Has anyone seen that studly class president, Jonathan Ng, walking around campus? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. EXQUISITE RELIEF To help clear his mind, President W decides to go out to the meadow to try determine the situation with Iraq. We will go to war. We won't go to war. We will go to war. We won't go to war. DANG! I'm starting to run out of flowers! COMMENTARY PERSPECTIVE Headlines forbode war with Iraq I will look for the text in the image. It looks like "I will look for the text in the image." There is no visible text present in the image. 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. 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. The U.S. government is certainly treating it as inevitable. Headline: Pentagon considering creat 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. Headline: Turkey allows U.S. full usage of their military bases for a possible war with Iraq. Cooper Wood opinion@kansan.com 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. Headline: U.S. connects Envoy killing to Iraqi based Al Qaeda cell. mation of bio-weapon casualties from Iraq war. 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. 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 assassination planned and coordinated by a well developed Al Qaeda cell operating out of Baghdad. Lance Meneley for The University Daily Kansan 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 dip lomatic 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. Can you hear the beating of the U.S. war drum? Boom. Wood is a Topeka sophomore in sociology. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I have just finished reading "Take Revenge on Recording Industry," published in The University Daily Kansan Jan. 31. I have a single word to sum up the average consumer of modern popular 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 No grounds for revenge 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. 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. 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. Contrary to popular belief, the recording industry is not anti-technology. The recording industry is simply anti-stealing. Just because music pervades our life as ubiquitous doesn't mean that it's in the public domain. 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. Recently, a court ruled on behalf of the 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. industry allowing it to pursue and prosecute anyone that it catches illegally distributing copyrighted works. So go ahead, "Take Revenge on Recording Industry." 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. Women: Protest, don't fight Jesse Atwell, Verdi senior 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. EDITORIAL BOARD 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." 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. "It doesn't matter how big or small." Bush said. "What matters is your love and your energy and your participation." TALK TO US Meghan Brune for the editorial board College is a time of learning and preparing for the future. Mentoring a child is a skill most students already possess. The center also has information about volunteer opportunities with the homeless, senior citizens and people with disabilities.

Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer James Owen says he often fields questions when he brings up the issue of diversity in graduate school. "People ask. 'Why is this white guy so interested in diversity?' said the Springfield, Mo., second-year law student. "But my experience is that you get a much better perspective when you have many cultures. Great ideas come from a diverse outlook on things." Because there are fewer minority graduate students than minority undergraduate students, minority graduate students and the issues they face can easily be forgotten. But Owen wants to change that. This weekend Owen, executive director of the Graduate and Professional Association, will attempt to address issues facing minority graduate students when the association hosts its first annual Diversity Issue Summit. The conference will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Multicultural Resource Center. "There's always the underlying issue that diversity is something you need to bring attention to," Owen said. "But it's always been geared to undergraduate students. This is going to focus on graduate issues." The limited number of scholarships available to minority graduate students, new federal guidelines for travel and health plans and better insurance for professional students who have families are among the issues that Owen said minority graduate students faced. Though Owen said he was eager to hear about minority issues, he was most looking forward to tomorrow's conference because several KU officials, including Provost David Shuilenburger, Richard Johnson, dean of students, and John Augusto, assistant dean in the graduate school, are attending. In addition to a large KU contingent. Owen said the top six finishers from recent city commission elections would be attending the diversity summit. Inviting KU and city officials to the conference offers the opportunity to make a bigger impact, Owen said. "We're not only talking about these problems, but we're going to do something about it," Owen said. "I think this is one of the first times we have had people from the University and the city coming to listen to students about diversity." Augusto said tomorrow's conference would help the University build toward Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goal of becoming a top-25 public university. "If you look at other universities in the top 25, they have large.

"But I want to hear if there's something new, something I haven't heard yet." - Edited by Michelle Burhenn Author's descendent to talk about writings Oxford professor visits University to lecture on Austen By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer in the Kansas Union. The great-great-great-great nephew of Jane Austen will give a lecture about his new book about Austen on Monday. Richard Jenkyns, professor of the Classical Tradition at Oxford University, will speak on "A Park with a View: Jane Austen's Mansfield" at 4 p.m. at the Centennial Room "This is going to be one of the most distinguished professors the English department has brought to this campus," said Marjorie Swann, associate professor of English. Swann said Jenkyns specialized in the English literature and the classics. The lecture, sponsored by the department of English, is free and open to the public. Swann said the department paid for his visit through anonymous donors. Jenkyns is a visiting professor at Boston University this year. He has been published in The New York Times, The New York Review of Books and The New Republic. His book, The Victorians and Ancient Greece, won the Arts Council National Book Award for Creative Non-Fiction. Swann said students would be able to interact with Jenkyns informally after the lecture. "We are having a reception after the lecture in the Centennial Room which will give students an opportunity to talk with him and enjoy punch and chocolate cake," Swann said. and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion. Austen lived from 1775 to 1817.Her novels include Sense "Some people call her the greatest writer of the 19th century," said Dorice Williams Elliott, English professor who teaches a Jane Austen class. Elliott recommended that KU students attend the lecture. "She has been one of the very few woman that has always been considered a great writer," Elliott said. "She didn't have to be resurrected like many female writers. She has always been great." - Edited by Michelle Burhenn Group practices Hebrew at dinner By Cal Creek ccreek@kansan.com Kansan staff writer "Timsor li et ha schnitzel!" While many on campus might not be able to understand this, a group of about five or six Jewish students, professors and community members did last night. They understood that it is the Hebrew equivalent of "Pass me the schnitzel." Once a month, the group meets at the University of Kansas Hillel house, 940 Mississippi St., to have a traditional Israeli dinner and hold Hebrew conversations. They call the dinner Shulchan Irvit, or Hebrew Table. Ally Tash, Jewish campus service corps fellow, organized the dinners last semester beginning in October. She wanted students from Israel to have the opportunity to speak their native language. "They really enjoy having the opportunity to speak in Hebrew," Tash said. For students who speak Hebrew as a second language, the dinners provide the opportunity to polish and practice it. "I haven't been around people who speak Hebrew in a while, so it's definitely beneficial," Yoel Malashock, West Orange, New Jersey, freshman said. The meal was prepared by Wichita senior Tony Jacobson. Jacobson prepared chicken schnitzel, hummus, pita bread and Israeli salad, which is made up of chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, vinegar and oil. Jacobson said that their kitchen was a kosher kitchen. Kosher food laws are a series of laws given in the book of Exodus that include not eating pork and shellfish, and not mixing meat and dairy within a dish or meal. "We observe the kosher laws," Jacobson said, "so the people who come and cook need to understand the kosher laws." Jacobson said he learned to cook Israeli food from Israeli friends and after living in Israel for one year. Hillel Director Jay Lewis said students appreciated the linguistic opportunity that the dinners provided for them to have conversations with other people in their mother language. The dinners also serve as social functions. "For the Israelis on campus, it's an opportunity to come meet other Israeli students," Lewis said. Tash said that all levels of Hebrew skill are welcomed and that the dinner was open to anyone in the community. The topics of conversation are very relaxed, she said, ranging from what's going on around campus to what classes people are taking, to where people are from and what dorms they live in. Hillel charges $3 per person to help cover the costs of the dinner. Students said they appreciated the dinners because it was a great way to meet people. "I met my best friend here, Emily Kravit," said Dalia Rosenstein, Tel Aviv, Israel, freshman. Malashock said it was the best way to meet other Jewish people.

"I don't make much at my job, and he'd probably starve if I didn't give plasma," Pruffit said. Proffitt is one of many students who donate plasma to earn quick cash. PLASMA FOR SALE Students can donate plasma at centers, such as ZLB Plasma Services. Proffitt said donating plasma was one of the easiest ways to earn money. It takes two hours on the first visit, and about 90 minutes for each successive visit. Now that spring break is approaching, students may need to find ways to earn some extra money for travel expenses. Alex Binci, Naples, Italy, senior, is financing his spring break trip to Breckenridge. Colo., in part with his biweekly trips to ZLB. "Giving plasma feels kind of awkward," he said. "But that 20 bucks makes it worth it." Michael Kanter, ZLB Plasma Services assistant manager, said there were a few facts to know before donating. " Donors should hydrate themselves the day before and avoid alcohol and caffeine." Kanter said. "They should eat a healthy diet, and we recommend they eat salty foods before they come in because salt helps retain water." Plasma donation also requires a photo ID and a Social Security card. Donors are given a physical, which includes drug testing, a blood pressure check and an online medical history questionnaire. During the first two visits, donors earn $25. After that, donors who are less than 150 pounds receive $15 per donation. Those who weigh more than 150 pounds get $20 for the first donation of the week and $25 for the second visit during the same week. Once the plasma is extracted from the blood, the blood is returned to the body and the plasma is replaced by a saline solution. Wes Wedman/Kansan Kanter says students play an important role in his business. "Permanent residents make up 75 to 80 percent of our donors," Kanter said. "Students make up the other 20 to 25 percent, and they are a significant part of our business because they need the money, so they come in more often." Giving plasma not only helps students earn money, but it also benefits those who receive the plasma and its related products, Kanter said. Some plasma is made into albumin, which helps burn and trauma victims. Albumin is a protein found in plasma. Plasma can also be made into clotting agents, which helps save hemophiliacs' lives. Certain vaccines can also be made from some plasma, depending on the antibodies present in the donor. Though most students give plasma to earn money,some give it to help others. "Giving plasma makes me feel good." Proffitt said. "It makes me feel like I'm helping other people, while helping myself at the same time." Students interested in giving plasma can call ZLB Plasma Services at 749-5750. Edited by Amber Byarlay Research institute affects University By JJ Hensley jhensley@kansan.com Kansan staff writer It might be located more than 40 miles away from Lawrence, but local officials still expect the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City, Mo., to have an impact on Lawrence and the University of Kansas by attracting top-notch graduate students and research scientists. Its impact has already been seen at KU. The institute has written commitments to conduct research with scientists like Paul Kelly, chairman of molecular biosciences. One of the most important aspects of the relationship was collaborating on the recruitment and training of graduate students, he said. Though the relationship was still in its early stages, Kelly said both KU and the institute have started to see the benefits. "There are a number of very fantastic scientists in the world who'll only be attracted to Stowers if they can have an academic appointment with a University," Kelly said. "They love interacting with students." Kelly said. "It's what they've done all their careers and they aren't going to just give that part up." The Stowers Institute was founded to research the roles of genes and proteins in disease in 1994, based on an initial gift of $50 million from Kansas City mutual fund executive and cancer survivor Jim Stowers, and his wife, Virginia. One such scientist, Scott Hawley, taught an undergraduate course last fall and is helping with a graduate course this semester. Today the endowment sits at almost $1.5 billion, and the Institute employs nearly 200 people, said Stowers Institute representative Laurie Wimberly. When the campus is completed in a few years, the Institute should employ 400 to 500 people. In addition to those jobs, Stowers and other area research institutions could expand the biotech industry in the Kansas City metro area, including Lawrence. In some respects, with companies like the Serologicals Corporation and Deciphera Pharmaceuticals deciding to locate plants in Lawrence, the impact has already begun, said Lynn Parman, economic development director for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Before Serologicals chose to build a site in the East Hills Business Park on Kansas Highway 10. Lawrence was not on the radar screen for biotech companies, Parman told city commissioners. Lawrence's proximity to materials the company needed, like bovine blood, and to Kansas City's burgeoning biotech industry attracted the company to Lawrence. "Serologicals is going to be tremendous for this community and hopefully it will be the beginning of many more of these companies," Parman said. Wimberly said breakthroughs in research don't benefit humanity unless business partners can commercialize new technology. The Stowers wanted the area economy to benefit from commercialization, she said. "They envision the Institute as a first step in a 25-year effort to transform Kansas City into Biomed Valley, the best place anywhere for biomedical research and for the commercialization of the results of that research," Wimberly said. Students have multiple medical options in addition to Watkins - Edited by Todd Rapp By Nikki Overfelt overfelt@kansan.com Kensan staff writer KU students with health insurance have plenty of options when it comes to health care in Lawrence. Other than Watkins Memorial Health Center, there are several family practice facilities in Lawrence that accept most major insurances. Mt. Oread Family Practice, 3510 Clinton Parkway Place, sees quite a few students who are too far from home to go to their doctor, said Courtney Fulk, receptionist at the office. It also continues to see students who already had an established doctor with Mt. Oread Family Practice before they came to the University, Fulk said. Myra Strother, director and chief of staff of Watkins, said if students already had an established doctor in Lawrence who was on their insurance plan, it was easier for them continue going there. ting tests done, Strother said. Some health maintenance organization insurance plans may require that students go to a doctor who is on their plan, especially when get- If a students needed to see a specialist, she said, Watkins was usually able to help them find the right specialist and get an appointment. But most of the time, Strother said, it was cheaper and quicker for students to come and see the doctors at Watkins. Katie Bean, Palm Beach, Fla., junior, said she hadn't had to go to the doctor in Lawrence yet but when she needed to, she would choose a doctor who was not at Watkins. "I would rather go to a regular doctor who can tell me what I have, what I need to do and what medications I need to take," she said. Family Medicine Associates, 3511 Clinton Place, also sees many students who are far from home and still on their parents' insurance plans, said Paula Reed, office manager of the facility. Ryan Stites, Buffalo Grove, Ill. senior, goes to the emergency room at Lawrence Memorial Hospital when he gets sick. His parents told him that it's easier for their health insurance to cover the cost when he goes to the hospital, he said. Rachel Trible, Russell junior chooses to go to Lawrence Internal Medicine, 3310 Clinton Parkway Court, because she feels more comfortable seeing a doctor who knew more about her condition, she said.

The civil action, filed Wednesday by Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison's office, claims prospective buyers were falsely told that a portion of the subscription price would benefit hospitals or youth sports teams. The civil lawsuit accuses Uti. mate Power Sales Inc. and United Family Circulations Inc., both based in Georgia, of lying to at least 32 customers in August, September and October. Prosecutors are asking a judge to order the companies to give refunds to customers, pay $10,000 to $20,000 for each alleged violation of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, and stop doing business in Johnson County. Attorney Donna Kemp of Norcross, Ga., who represents both companies, was not immediately available for comment. Kathleen Pauli, who is listed as a victim in the petition, said a young man told her he was raising money for a community soccer team when he knocked on her door in Shawnee. She wrote a check for about $30 for a subscription to Cycle World. She considered the subscription expensive, but the salesman said part of the money would pay for his team's trip. live in her neighborhood as he had claimed, she canceled the check. When she realized that he didn't "If it's falsely reported that they're supporting a team, that's not fair," she said. "It hurts the kids who are really supporting fund-raisers." Under Kansas law, door-to-door salespeople must give customers a form with their supplier's name and address. The form must tell customers that they can cancel the sale within three days, and the salesperson also must mention the cancellation period. American Taliban attacked in prison The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — John Walker Lindh, the American imprisoned for taking up arms for the Taliban in Afghanistan, was attacked by a fellow inmate, his lawyer said yesterday. Law enforcement authorities confirmed the 21-year-old Lindh was attacked but would not disclose a possible motive. The incident happened Mon day night at the medium-security federal prison in Victorville as Lindh was preparing to pray, said his lawyer Tony West. "Our understanding is that the inmate tackled John and began hitting him while screaming obscenities before running off," West said in a statement. Lindh suffered a bruise on his forehead, the lawyer said. the lawyer said, "John is fine," West said. "He's in very good spirits." A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "It was a minor incident, a prison fight. He got a little scraped up, but he's fine. One guy was picking on him." The official had no information on Lindh's attacker. The FBI said yesterday it was investigating. The investigation began after the San Bernardino County Sun received an anonymous tip Tuesday. newspaper that John Lindh Walker, who is incarcerated in Victorville, was assaulted this night by a white supremacist organization that is imprisoned there. Thank you," the male caller said in a voice message. "Yes, I'd like to inform your Lindh was sentenced in October to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to supplying services to Afghanistan's Taliban government and carrying explosives in commission of a felony. NASA official says he warned of disaster The Associated Press HOUSTON — A former NASA official who led a study three years ago that faulted the way the agency deals with safety risks told the Columbia investigation board yesterday that some of the very problems he warned about appear to have played a role in the shuttle disaster. Henry McDonald, an engineering professor, was a witness as the investigation board held its first public hearing on what caused the shuttle to break up over Texas on Feb. 1, killing all seven astronauts. McDonald said he was disappointed the space agency did not adopt more of his team's recommendations. He noted that the same type of communication breakdown he warned about seems to have hindered engineers who evaluated damage to Columbia's left wing by launch debris and concluded the shuttle and its astronauts were safe. "It's a replay." McDonald told reporters after addressing the board. McDonald said that the system used by NASA to assess shuttle flight risk was flawed and that there seemed to be a perception among workers that "if I've flown 20 times, the risk is less than if I've flown just once." He said he tried to convince engineers and managers that this was not true, unless actual steps were taken to reduce the risk. NASA depended on an archaic database system for logging shuttle problems, and so it was difficult if not impossible for top-level managers to quickly know the history of any particular issue. McDonald told the board at the sparsely attended hearing. Band says club owner allowed pyrotechnics The Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. — An attorney for Great White disputed claims yesterday that the band made a habit of using pyrotechnics without notice and said it had verbal permission to use the effects blamed for starting a nightclub fire that killed 98 people. Attorney Ed McPherson said tour manager Dan Biechele always made sure he spoke with each club to get permission because pyrotechnics were a new part of the heavy metal band's act and were not included in some of the contracts. Biechele got verbal permission from club co-owner Michael Derderian about a week before the Feb. 20 fire at The Station, the attorney said. Derderian owned the West Warwick club along with Jeffrey Derderian, his brother. Jeffrey Derdierian's lawyer, Jeff Pine, said Biechele and Michael Derderian did talk by phone about a week before Great White's show at The Station. But Pine said the subject of pyrotechnics was never broached by Biechele. "It absolutely wasn't discussed," he said. "They talked about what kind of food and other provisions and specialty items the band needed — towels, food and certain arrangements — and there was absolutely no mention of pyrotechnics." Biechele has not commented publicly since the disaster. His attorney, Thomas Briodv, declined to comment. A grand jury is investigating whether criminal charges should be filed in the fire, which also injured nearly 190 people. Authorities are investigating whether the club had illegal, highly flammable soundproofing on the walls as well as the circumstances surrounding the pyrotechnics. McPherson said pyrotechnics are not mentioned in either the band's contract with the club or in a "tour rider"—an addendum to the contract because those documents were signed in December. He said the band did not decide to use pyrotechnics on its tour until sometime in January "to spruce it up a little bit." "One of the big reasons why (Biechele) made certain he spoke to them orally is because it was not in the rider and he wanted to make sure he had permission from every single club," McPherson said. Biechele had considerable experience handling pyrotechnics as tour manager for WASP, another '80s heavy metal band, McPherson said. He said he didn't know if Biechele had any special training in pyrotechnics. According to court documents, Biechele told investigators the paperwork from the booking of Great White's concert at The Station burned in the fire. However, Biechele said he did have generic forms stating the band's terms and conditions, including the use of pyrotechnics. Verbatim. DISC 80MIN 700MB PATIENT PENDING. DIGITAL vinyl/CD-R DÉJÀ VINYL.

"Bohl said. "So when they have their needs for day-to-day operations, they would go to him. The coaches just go to their own associate athletes directors when they need something." The structure allows Bohl more time to focus on all of the different areas of the Kansas University Athletics Corporation, instead of getting tied into one specific area. The structure has worked very effectively and will continue to work effectively, Bohl said. Bohl said one of his main focuses was generating revenue to provide different opportunities for student-athletes. Kansas has an estimated $25 million budget for next year, and will need to raise between $500,000-$700,000 to fit the growing costs of maintaining the department, such as salary raises and increases in scholarship money to cover the tuition increase. Bohl also looks for more money to better the athletic facilities. Shortly after arriving, the KUAC received a $4 million gift from Dana and Sue Anderson to build the Anderson Family Strength Center, which is scheduled to open after spring break. John Matsko Jr., administrative assistant, said that Bohl brought energy to the workplace. "He brings tremendous enthusiasm and creativity to the athletics department," Matsko said. "His motor is always running, and he's always trying to bring about new ideas." Doug Vance, assistant athletics director, said that the enthusi "He's just a very warm person," Vance said. "He's someone who is very easy to know—easy to talk to." asm carried over into Bohl's life outside the department offices. Bohl also enjoys golfing and reading in his spare time. As athletics director, he plays golf at several functions per year. He loves to read with Sherry, and enjoys historical autobiographies, but the two have different reading styles, Bohl said. Outside of work, Bohl enjoys spending time with his wife, Sherry, and three children. Sherry is his best friend, Bohl said, and his family helped throughout the job speculation. "This has really been such a distraction," Bohl said. "But my family has been nothing but supportive." "I like to be able to take a book and just chew on 15 pages for a while." Bolt said. "Sherry, on the other hand, can just sit down and read a book all the way through. A midwesterner for almost his whole life, Bohl grew up in Ohio. After majoring in math at Bowling Green, Bohl gained his masters from Southern Mississippi while teaching electronics at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi. Miss While getting his doctorate at Ohio State, he became an intern at Ohio State, and eventually worked his way to associate athletics director. From 1987-1996, Bohl was athletics director at Toledo. Then he took the job at Fresno State from 1996-2001. As for now, Bohl goes about his job as if there was never any doubt about his job security, concentrating on finding fans to put in the seats and ways to raise the excitement around his Kansas athletics program. -Edited by Ryan Wood The student protests on college campuses against a war in Iraq do not seem very effective to Hammond. Marcus Hammond, Paola junior, said going to observe the protest was the lesser of two evils. Wedding the protest so they could witness confrontational rhetoric in action at KU. The students in Harris's class, introduction to rhetoric and social influence, watched the protesters. "I'm pretty much apathetic." Hammond said. "We can either listen to a lecture about it or see it." Approximately 230 colleges across the nation participated in the "Books not Bombs" student protest. More than 200,000 students nationwide expressed their opposition to a war in Iraq, Flott said. The KU organization Students for Peace helped coordinate the activities at the University of Kansas for "Books not Bombs." Flott, a member of Students for Peace, said the group wanted to have weekly rallies and marches on campus against a war. Students for Peace is also planning panel discussions with faculty to examine what war in Iraq would mean. ber.

Heath Scheibmeir, Piqua junior, is also in the nursing school. He got a degree in music education at Bethany College before returning to school to be a nurse. He said he chose to go back to school because of the promising future for nurses caused by nationwide demand. Like Benson, Scheibmeir said he liked how involved nurses were able to be with patients, even more so than doctors. Scheibmeir wants to start out being a nurse in the critical care unit and then eventually be a nurse in anesthesiology, he said. Even though he is in the minority at the nursing school, he doesn't see the stereotype of nurses being all female as much as he thought he would, Scheib-meir said. The reason for this, he said, is more males are choosing to go into nursing. But he also joked "not that we are planning on taking over." Some of the male nursing students like being the minority more than others, said Scheibmeir, who's married. "Most of the single guys think it's heaven," he said.

SPORTS 1B WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY JEFFREY Brad Zollars bzollars@kansan.com Student fans should get better seats Students at Missouri have already begun to camp out inside the Hearnes Center in anticipation of Sunday's match-up with hated rival Kansas. Both schools have a rich history of rabid fans and a staunch home court advantage. Both schools pride themselves on having top-tier basketball programs, and each strives for national prominence. But only one of these universities treats their student fans like second-class citizens, and unfortunately, it isn't Missouri. As a student, getting into Allen Fieldhouse is about as easy as scaling the walls of Fort Knox. KUIDs are checked with ridiculous scrutiny, and the ticket-takers are about as trusting as a weapons inspector in the middle of Iraq. Even if you are one of the lucky few who makes it through the gate without being hasled, your reward is the catacombs of Allen Fieldhouse that are deemed student seating. dent setting. The alumni would never arrive at the Fieldhouse two hours early to witness the Jayhawks take on UNC-Greensboro. Yet it is the alumni who receive seats on either side of the court. As a student fan, you feel cheated. You feel neglected. You feel like you should have brought your binoculars. You're right. Bettering student seating for men's basketball games isn't a new topic of conversation around campus. In fact, student groups as far back as 1989 have petitioned to at least move a small amount of student fans from behind the baskets to more effective courtside seats. The reasoning is simple: closer, visible student seats not only make the home court more attractive on television, but also makes Allen Fieldhouse an even more feared destination. The wine and cheese crowds who inhabit the good seats seem to be permanently glued to them during most home games, a problem easily seen during nationally televised games. When trying to do something right, one always looks to the best for guidance. And recently, many of college basketball's elite programs are taking Duke, and its courtside Cameron Crazies, as the example by giving their students better seats to liven their arenas. Missouri allows 4,500 student tickets, upping that number to 6,000 for the Kansas game, and allows 2,000 of those students to sit anywhere in the first three tiers of the Hearnes Center. Matt Doughtery, former Kansas assistant and current coach of North Carolina, took a step to liven up the Dean Dome last year by bringing in a few hundred students to the prime seats. Kentucky, also one of the nation's leading college basketball programs, will do the same next season as they plan to put 750 students close to the action as well. The Big 12 recognizes the problem too, as Oklahoma State, Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma and Texas each have students sitting on at least one sideline. Maryland, national powerhouse and heartbreaker to the Jayhawks last season, took perhaps the largest step towards improving their seating. Starting next year, students will receive the first ten rows of regular seating all the way around the university's new Comcast Center, where Maryland will play next season. The fear often heard around campus is that wealthy alumni would be more apt to cancel some large donations if seating were changed. This seems a little farfetched. Sure, some alumni would be upset, but at the same time, most I have talked to are all for closer student seats if it betters the atmosphere and reputation SEE ZOLLARS ON PAGE 3B 12 Jared Soares/Kansan Third basemen Travis Metcalf tags out Western Michigan baserunner Adam Rosales in the seventh inning.

Broncos bucked Hawks run home after clean up By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter His team gave him that effort. The After waking up yesterday morning, Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price knew by looking outside at the snow on the ground that it was going to take a total team effort not only to win the Jayhawks' game against Western Michigan University, but just to play. players started working on the field about 11 a.m. to get it ready for game time. Then, after all that work, the team defeated the Broncos 8-1 at Hoglund Ballpark. The victory improved the Jayhawks' record to 14-4, and dropped the Broncos to 0-6 on the season. Junior Ryan Knippschild, the team's starting pitcher, stole the show as he pitched a complete game allowing only six hits. one run that was unearned and striking out 12 batters. "My staff and players did a great job getting the field ready to play on," Price said. "We didn't get done working on the field until after three, so it was a long day for all of us."

Mengüç's journey to Kansas has not had many stops along the way, but has covered quite a distance. When she arrived at Kansas, Mengüç, a native of Stockholm, Sweden, became one of five foreign players to suit up in a Kansas uniform.

Kansas won the game, 76-70. The Jayhawks will play the Tigers at 1 p.m. Sunday in Columbia, Mo. If Kansas defeats Missouri, it will be the sole Big 12 Conference title-holder. Don't waste your time extolling the virtues of sharing to Kansas sophomore guard Keith Langford. He has no interest in it, at least when pertains to Big 12 Conference championships. "I'm greedy," Langford told reporters. "I want another ring." Kansan file photo Langford has already guaranteed his second championship ring by helping No. 6 Kansas (23-6 overall, 13-2 Big 12 Conference) defeat Texas Tech, 65-56, Monday, but with a victory on Sunday, he and the Jayhawks can ensure they will be the only conference team donning league jewelry at the end of the Big 12 season.

POLL ketball team be seeded in the NCAA tournament bracket? "We don't do work for people, nor do we give them money." Harrick said. "Do we make mistakes? Yeah. Will they find something minor? Maybe." Two seed Tony Cole, a former player, is accusing Jim Harrick Jr., son of coach Jim Harrick, of completing schoolwork, paying bills and giving Cole credit for a class he did not attend. Harrick Jr. was fired as an assistant, and Harrick Sr. was claiming that his innocence would be proven. Three seed According to ESPN.com, Harrick is now wavering his once defiant stance. However, a $300 Western Union receipt with Harrick's signature given to Cole to pay a phone bill is evidence that proves otherwise. March is usually the time when college basketball is full of tournaments, unsets and compelling story lines. However, this March. college basketball is dominated by misconduct and corruption. Now, to the Georgia Bulldogs, who are fresh off an upset of No. 3 Florida on Tuesday. Three seed corruption. The timeline of events started with the Fresno State Bulldogs, who banned their own men's basketball team from postseason play.

In the Atlantic 10 conference, the St. Bonaventure Bonnies have quit the rest of the regular season. The team decided not to play because the Bonnies were going to be dropped from the A-10 tournament. The Bonnies were in violation of playing with one ineligible player, junior Jamil Terrell.

Log on to www.kansan.com to cast your vote For a college team to quit under any circumstance is absolutely unacceptable, and Iagree with the A-10 consideration of kicking St. Bonaventure out of the conference. The spotlight has shifted to these troubled teams and away from Kansas, Kentucky, and Arizona, who are having great seasons with quality players. The wide-open field this year should make for a great tournament and that needs to be at the center of attention in college basketball. center of attention in college When looking at a program like Kansas and witnessing classy players such as seniors Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, one can appreciate the quality and pride that is instilled on the team Ballow is a Littleton, Colo., junior in journalism.

Fast tailback helps out at Texas By Natalie England Daily Texan via U-wire University of Texas AUSTIN, Texas — Anyone who grew up in the era when big hair and neon pink were cool knows about Top Gun. were cool knowl- Some can probably even quote one the films most marketable lines: "I feel the need ...the need for speed." Quite simply, some people feel a need for it. Very few actually have it. He proved that in his action as a backup tailback during Texas' 11-2 season, gaining 408 yards on 85 carries. Longhorn running back Selvin Young does. And he proved that as a kick returner against Tulane during the Longhorns' 49- 0 shutout over the Green Wave. Young hauled in a Tulane punt and motored 71 yards to pay dirt for the fifth-longest punt return for a touchdown in Texas history. Speed: It got him to the goal line. Speed, right for him to the speed. The sophomore proves he still has it. every day in the Longhorns' spring practice. Darting around the end and slipping through the defense like a knife through left-out Country Crock. Young lets his legs do the talking after that. Defenses are left to squint at the No. 3 on his jersey getting smaller has he wheels to the goal line. "Speed is one thing," the soon-to-be sophomore said. "You can have speed, but if you don't have eyes, and you don't have vision, you don't have anything." But even Young knows speed alone will not make him a running back defenses want to stack eight-man lines against. Despite having scored 24 touchdowns and amassing 2,346 rushing yards in his two years in the burnt-orange and white, some may even dare to say that Young is threatening to take Benson's starting job. "Not at all." Benson counters In fact, there is no controversy. In fact, there is not for the coaches or either tailback. Instead, the Longhorns just find themselves with two equally talented and equally different running backs, the equivalent of a buy-one-get-one-free burrito deal. burn to death. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, Benson is big and bruising; the 6-foot, 195 pound Young is slender and slippery. Young is skilled and supportive. After all, the talents of these two backs have prompted Davis and head coach Mack Brown to create some offensive sets The Longhorns have never used under Brown's direction. "We're doing different things," Davis said. "You need two good tailbacks in the Big 12 because the conference schedule is so tough week to week." Brown echoed that, citing the attributes of both backs. "We're working on a lot more situations this spring." Brown said. "We feel like putting Selvin and Cedric both in the backfield together is important because they can both catch the ball." NU pitcher expects to dominate Bv Vince Kuppig By Vince Kupling Daily Nebraskan via U-wire University of Nebraska Just look at sophomore Brian Duensing, Nebraska's No. 2 pitcher who was named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week Tuesday. LINCOLN, Neb. — It's amazing what a few miles per hour and a year of experience will do for a college pitcher. With an increased velocity on his fastball and a year under his belt, the lefthanded Duensing has been untouchable for the No. 14 N Tukers Cornhuskers (7-2) this season Every time Duensing steps on the mound, he demands the best out of himself. "You have to go out and expect to dominate the opposing team." Duensing said. "Everybody out there has talent and if you expect to do well, you will." The sophomore from Millard South In three games, Duensing is 3-0 with a team-leading 1.31 ERA. He has 20 strikeouts with just six walks. Opponents are hitting just .159 against Duensing. High School has lasted at least six innings in each of his three outings something Nebraska's other starters were struggling with during its first two weeks. "He's pitched like a guy that can pitch both Fridays or Sundays," Nebraska pitching coach Rob Childress said. "He has been our most consistent气人." As a freshman, Duensing was a solid No.4 starter for the Huskers. This season, he has pitched like he could be anybody's No.1 starter. It all goes back to an increase in his top speed and having a year under his belt. The increased velocity allows Duensing to make a few more mistakes. Childress said. Last season, Duensing's fastball, which he goes to about 70 percent of time, was in the 84-88 mph range. Now, it's 88-91. Those blunders have been rare, though. "When he does make a mistake, he just seems not to get hurt as bad," Childress said. "In the past, it seemed like he would make one or two mistakes that cost him a win or a no-decision." Personally, Duensing said he hadn't really noticed the increase in his speed. What's made the greatest difference for him is that year of experience As a freshman, Duensing went 6-2 with a 4.73 ERA on his way to being named to the Big 12 All-Freshman team. After starting the season 0-1. Duensing won six in a row before losing in the postseason to Richmond. When All-American ace Shane Komine went down with elbow tendinitis. Duensing moved into the weekend starting rotation and started four Big 12 games. He saw action in the regional and super regional play and started the Big 12 title game and Nebraska's final game of the season in the College World Series. "I don't think there's going to be anything thrown at him that he hasn't already experienced," Childress said. "He's ready to go." Duensing said he learned a lot in 2002. "I feel like a lot better pitcher." Duensing said. "I have more confidence on the mound. I have the maturity out there." Childress has noticed the increased intensity from Duensing. "He attacks people and says, 'Here it is, I'm coming at you. Hit it if you can,'" Childress said. "He makes the other team earn everything that they get."

Taylor, 57, had been an associate athletic director at Iowa State for the past seven years and also worked with the Cyclone Club. He joined the ISU athletic department in 1990 as the director of fundraising. University representative Tom Kroeschell said Taylor had been taken to the hospital Tuesday.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B innings the bullpen had to pitch. Price said Knippischild was on a role. "He had outstanding command of his pitches today." Price said. "Now we are going to go into the normal weekend rotation, and we haven't used our bullpen yet. Now Knippischild will be in great shape to pitch Tuesday also." Kansas made its first run of the game in the second inning after junior right fielder Matt Tribble was hit by a pitch, then junior third baseman Kyle Kilgo ripped a double into the outfield, which scored Tribble. Kilgo was not scheduled to start today's game, but filled in for sophomore Travis Metcalf, as he was finishing up a mid-term exam. Kilgo finished the day going 2-for-3 with 3 runs batted in and 1 run scored. "We all came out ready to play today, and battled the weather, so it's a good win for us," Kilgo said. "You just got to be ready when your time is there, and take advantage of it, and just do the best you can." After going scoreless in the third inning, Kansas added 4 runs in the fourth inning to break the game open. Junior first baseman Ryan Baty started the inning off with a double. After recording two outs, the Jayhawks responded, as hot-hiting left fielder Casey Spanish singled in Baty. Kilgo then hit another double, which scored Spanish, and senior catcher Sean Flynn hit his third home run of the season to score Kilgo and make the score 5-0, after four innings. After the Broncos put their first run on the board in the seventh inning, Kansas responded again in the eighth inning. Senior Kevin Wheeler and Tribble each had base hits to put runners on for Spanish. Spanish then connected for his third hit of the day, a double, which scored both Wheeler and Tribble. After adding another run in the inning, which would close out the scoring, Knippschild retired in the ninth to end the game. Price said he thought yesterday's performance was professional. "We were not able to take batting practice as a team, and other things we normally do before a game, but they responded well." — Edited by Christy Dendurent Mengüç CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1P America was not as big of a challenge as most would expect. "I was not a big deal at all," Mengüç said. "The only thing that was different was that I couldn't get to see my family that often. I feel living in the dorm wasn't even taking a step back." Coming in as a freshman, Menguc was as old as, if not older, than many of her teammates. Still, she had a lot to learn from the team's veterans like Jennifer Jackson and Selena Scott. "My freshman year, I didn't get a lot of minutes, but I got a lot of experience in practice," said Mengüq, now two weeks shy of her 23rd birthday. Despite the team struggling to an 0-16 conference mark her sophomore campaign, Mengüç used the season to learn leadership skills, both on and off the court, from the seniors Becoming a leader was something that came to Mengüç much earlier than expected, being the most experienced player on a roster with nine newcomers as a junior. She has stepped up to the challenge this season as a mentor to her young teammates and a leader by example. a reader by my name. "I'm pretty happy that it happened because that's who I am," Mengüç said. "It's been my role with every team I've played with, so I saw it as a great opportunity to show the coaches what I'm good at." The most valuable intangible Menguc brings to the table is her overall passion and love for the game of basketball. game of battle Whether she's on the floor or on the bench, Mengtiç is always the team's most vocal member. Not only do other players take notice, but on Feb. 26 at Kansas State, the Wildcat fans went as far as heckling Mengtiç for her tendency to scream on defense. Even though her tenacity drives opponents crazy, that's Mengü's job. She is the itch on the opponent's back that won't go away, no matter how much it gets scratched. Mengtic's leadership abilities will be put to the test over the next several days, as she helps the Jayhawks prepare for the Big 12 Conference tournament in Dallas. Kansas will once again face Iowa State, who handed the Jayhawks a 69-44 defeat Wednesday night. Even though this season is not yet finished, Menguiç said their first collective steps as one this year will pay its dividends in the future. "I don't see our team being even close to the same position next year." Mengüç said. "Right now we just have to take it from where we are right now and just do our best job in the Big 12 tournament and look forward to next season." Edited by Ryan Wood Zollars CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B at the University of Kansas. Alumni know what students go through to get seats at Allen Fieldhouse; they were once students themselves. The only way students at the University will be sitting closer to the action is by increased public and private pressure on the University to get it done. The athletics board, Student Senate and tickets officials need to work together in finding a reasonable solution to this problem. Are the students at Missouri more deserving of the sideline seats they receive? Are they recognized nationally as some of the most loyal and rowdy college basketball fans in the nation? I think not. Will the campers in Allen Fieldhouse continue to be bought off by the occasional pizza delivered by coach Roy Williams? Or will you, as students, as the lifeblood of Kansas basketball, demand more. The choice is yours. Zollars is a Chicago senior in communications. The Associated Press Kansas State loses opponent for 2003 season MANHATTAN — Kansas State is looking to fill a second hole in its 2003 football schedule after Miami of Ohio canceled a visit to Manhattan. The RedHawks had been scheduled to visit KSU Stadium on Sept. 20, but the state announced this week has the team going to Colorado State on that date. Kansas State senior associate athletics director Jim Epps said he was "shocked" at the news, which did not come until last week. Epps said there was a modest buy-out clause of less than $100,000. He said the matter had been turned over to the attorneys of both schools. Buy-outs are not unusual, but Epps said they usually are done by mutual agreement and rarely occur so close to the season. The contract with Miami also included a game at KSU Stadium in 2005 and a Kansas State road trip to Oxford, Ohio, in 2008. As to whether any of those games would be played, Epps said, "That's still up in the air. I would say the relationship (between schools) is strained." This despite the fact the Jayhawks swept the Tigers last season and won the first meeting this season, 76-70, in Lawrence. Bragging rights have been hard earned in Columbia, Mo. Kansas holds a sizable, 156-90 all-time advantage in games against Missouri, but 51 of those A sweep this season would be just the second time in eight years that Kansas has accomplished the feat. For Lee's Summit, Mo., native Jeff Graves, a 2-0 record against the border-state rivals would mean more than an unobstructed view from the top of the conference pile. "I think it's going to be very special for me," the junior forward said. "I think it's going to be my bragging rights." Big 12 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B 90 losses have come in the Tigers' hometown, and Kansas has won just 12 of 18 contests all time in the Hearnes Center. Adverse situations are nothing new for the Jayhawks, and Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich said the team was not afraid of a challenge. Hinrich cited the Jayhawks' success despite early season defeats in New York and Oregon, injuries and the loss of sophomore forward Wayne Simien to a dislocated shoulder as a testament to their mettle. "This is as mentally tough as a team as I've been on," Hinrich said after the Texas Tech game. If Kansas can continue its rugged play through one more battle, it can win yet another honor — No.1 seed in the Big 12 Conference Tournament, set to begin Thursday in Dallas. — Edited by Amber Byarlay Chiefs court Douglas to fix defensive woes KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Free agent defensive end Hugh Douglas ate Kansas City barbecue and met Kansas City people and pronounced both to his liking. After visiting Seattle earlier this week and Kansas City on Wednesday and Thursday, the three-time Pro Bowler for the Philadelphia Eagles left for New York to be wined and dined by the Giants. Then, after a possible detour to Jacksonville, he planned to go home to Atlanta and make a decision. In essence, every visit is the same,he said. "They want to get a feel for me and I want to get a feel for the organization, just try to move around and meet people I would have to interact with throughout the course of the year," he said. "That's what I was doing the last few days, just looking around the city and trying to learn my way around." He promises to make his decision soon. "I'm not going to hold the Kansas City Chiefs up, or anybody else," said Douglas, whose pass-rushing skills would fill a gaping need for a Kansas City defense that ranked 32nd in the NFL. "I know this is a process. They would like to get some other things done. I'm not going take long to make my decision." long to make my sign. The Chiefs already have signed free agent linebacker Shawn Barber, a teammate of Douglas' from the Eagles, and cornerback Dexter McCleon from St. Louis. Douglas, who led the Eagles with 121/2 sacks, would provide immediate improvement for the worst defense in franchise history. "We've identified our needs," coach Dick Vermeil said. "Now we're trying to address them. Hugh Douglas would be a tremendous addition to this defense." IMPERIAL GARDEN 2907 W.6th St. 841-1688 • 841-3370 BEST BUFFET IN LAWRENCE!

The Tigers will finally get the chance to seek vindication against rival Kansas at p.m. in Columbia, Mo. Kansas defeated the Tigers 76-70 in the teams' first match-up in Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 3. Missouri's play seemed to be coming together, as the Tigers had won four of their last five games before a trip to Ames, Iowa, on Wednesday night. One of those victories was a convincing 67-52 defeat of the Oklahoma Sooners at the Hearnes Center on Feb. 26. The Tigers followed the upset victory over the Sooners with a 77-70 road win at Kansas State on March1. If the Tigers could have gotten by the Iowa State Cyclones on the road, Missouri would be riding a wave of momentum heading into their Border War with the Jayhawks. The only problem is, the Tigers might have been too geared up for a visit from the Jayhawks. Missouri suffered a loss on Wednesday to the lowly Cyclones, who stand in ninth place in the Big 12 Conference. The Cyclones connected on 7-of-18 three-point attempts on their way to a 71-55 dismantling of the Tigers. Despite the cold shooting night for Clemons, Missouri coach Quin Snyder said he was proud of his junior point guard. In that game, Iowa State held Tiger center Arthur Johnson to two points and guard Ricky Clemons to five points. Johnson is averaging 15.6 points per game, and Clemons is third on the squad with 15.5 points per game. "The thing I've been impressed with during the last month is that his play has improved," Snyder said. Clemons' improved play has come in the face of recent allegations concerning the eligibility of the junior college transfer over summer credits. Road crowds have been quick to mock and taunt Clemons, who Snyder said has handled the situation with maturity. "I don't know if I've been around a kid that's faced more adversity. "Synder said. While Clemons has stepped up his play during the conference schedule, Missouri has also been receiving major contributions from junior forward Rickey Paulding. Paulding leads the Tigers averaging 16.9 points per game. With the void left by Clarence Gilbert and Kareem Rush from last year's team, Paulding has been thrust into the leadership role for the Tigers. Paulding's teammates and Snyder have pleaded with Paulding to be more selfish this season in looking for his shot. "I think he's very aware of the times he needs to make an impact," Snyder said. Missouri is also very aware of the importance of Sunday's game from more than just a rivalry aspect against the Jayhawks. A Tiger victory and an Oklahoma State defeat to Texas A&M would give Missouri a fourth place finish in the conference. The top four teams in the Big 12 get a bye in the first round of the Big 12 tournament next week in Dallas. Either way, Snyder said his team was not worried about rankings or seeds. "I think we've kind of discounted the rankings from the standpoint that we're really trying to focus that this late in the season we can actually get better," Snyder said. 88 Missouri's Travon Bryant (center) wrestles with Kansas forwards Bryant Nash (left) and Jeff Graves in the Kansas' 76-70 victory over Missouri on Feb. 3. The two teams will meet again Sunday in Columbia, Mo. Kansan file photos Tennis set to play Cornhuskers By Jonah Ballow jballow@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter The No. 59-ranked Kansas tennis team is coming off its first victory in the Big 12 Conference and will try to earn the second against the No. 54-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday. "In the Big 12 there are a lot of teams vying for the top position," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "We have to beat the teams we think we are capable of beating, which is Nebraska." The Cornhuskers (7-3 overall, 0-3 Big 12) were able to get a 4-3 victory against the No. 38 Ohio State Buckeyes last Saturday. The Jayhawks (5-4, 1-1) beat Iowa and Iowa State, but lost to the Buckeyes last weekend. Kansas owns the all-time series against Nebraska with a 20-9 advantage and a 5-2 victory in Lincoln, Neb., last season. Sophomore Paige Brown went undefeated in singles play last weekend and is 5-3 when playing at the No.2 singles position. Junior Emily Haylock has been the most consistent at No. 3 singles with a 7-2 record. Waterman has shifted the doubles lineup by moving Brown to No. 1 doubles with junior Courtney Steinbock. Courtney's twin sister, Kristen Steinbock, moved down to No. 2 doubles with Haylock and produced a 3-0 record last weekend. The match against Nebraska will mark the first of six consecutive Big 12 matches for Kansas Because they don't have permanent facilities, the Jayhawks will play for the first time at the Kansas City Racquet Club in Mission at 4 p.m. — Edited by Michelle Burhenn By Chris Wintering cwintering@kansan.com kansan sportswriter Track looks to add qualifiers Kansas track and field athletes are running out of time to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championship, which are March 14 and 15. The Jayhawks compete tomorrow in the Iowa State Invitational. That meet will be the last opportunity for any member to qualify for the NCAA competition. So far, junior Leo Bookman is the team's only automatic qualifier. He has qualified in the 200-meter dash The Jayhawks also have four provisional qualifiers for the meet as well, but provisional qualifiers are not necessarily in the meet. Sometime next week, the NCAA will rank the best provisional qualifiers and invite them to the championships. The team's provisional qualifiers include senior hurdler Anson Jackson in the 60-meter hurdles, senior Jeremy Hull in the pole vault and sophomore Sondra Rauterkus in the high jump. The women's distance medley relay team of junior Laura Lavoie, sophomore Kim Clark, freshman Angela Pichardo and sophomore Megan Manthe have also provisionally qualified. Qualifying for the NCAA competition was a great accomplishment for the team, Pichardo said. "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." The women's team finished the season 4-1 overall and 3-1 in the Big 12 Conference. Last weekend, the team came in fourth at the Big 12 Championships, the highest the team has placed in the history of the Big 12 Conference. The men's team finished the season 5-3 overall, 2-2 in conference, and ninth at the Big 12 Championships. — Edited by Michelle Burhenn Campus Coupons brought to you by campus coupons brought to you by THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN & kansan.com The student newspaper of the University of Kansas Dr. Kevin Lenahan Optometrist 935 Iowa 838-3200 $99 Eye Exam & Disposable Contacts Price includes: Eye exam, contact lens fitting, two follow up visits, & two 6-packs of two wk disposable contacts of doctor's choice.

Student Senate election coalitions have decided their issues and are getting them ready in flyer-form. Delta Force Drew Thomas, Hays senior, and Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence junior, will represent Delta Force on the presidential ballot. The candidates see problems at the University of Kansas and haven't seen them fixed. "People always talk good games about campus safety, but there needs to be some action," Thomas said. To Do List: Expanding the sexual assault awareness program in the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. Adding another part-time employee or hiring a full-time employee could inform more living organizations and student groups about sexual assault. "By expanding the program itself, you get to the root of the problem by talking to students about the issues behind it," Farokhi said. Having more blue emergency lights and phones placed in the gray areas where campus ends and off-campus begins. SEE COALITIONS ON PAGE 5A Delta Force P. S.

Rock Chalk raises $52,000 By Jessica Palimenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer When an oversized check for $52,000 was presented to United Way Saturday, cheers from the audience and cast members of the Rock Chalk Revue filled the nearly sold-out Lied Center. In their third performance, participants presented their skills for the last time Saturday night, and in the end, the cast of fraternity and sorority members raised $2,000 more for charity than last year. Twenty judges, made up of Rock Chalk and KU alumni and members of the theater and dance community, chose winners of the competition's 12 awards The big winners of the night, Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha, won the best overall show with their skit "The Comeback Squid," which chronicled the revival of a dilapidated Italian restaurant. The women of Alpha Gamma Delta captured the award for the second consecutive year The winning cast included winners in the Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories. After the announcements, participants flocked to the backstage area. Andrew Kroeker, Best Actor recipient "The only thing I can say is'elation," said Andrew Kroeker, Best Actor recipient and co-director of "The Comeback Squid." and director of the "The Comeback Squid," shouted in excitement. Sara Baumgartner, Best Supporting Actress and co-director, said she was proud that her cast had performed well and helped raise the money. "It makes me so proud of what we were here to do,"said Baumgartner, St. Louis senior. "Our two chapters came together so well." Revue ends, memories remain SEE ROCK CHAK ON PAGE 5A By Jessica Palmenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer With the close of another Rock Chalk Revue on Saturday, emotions were running high for both seniors experiencing their last revue and freshmen just starting the tradition. Sarah Morrison has participated in the revue for two years, and this year, she directed Delta Delta Delta and Beta Theta Pi's "Help Wanted." She said she got a lot out of her experience. "I've learned more about myself in the last 11 months than I have in four years of college," Morrison, Leawood senior, said. But Morrison's last experience was bittersweet, she said. "I'm kind of depressed. It seems like this year was the best being with such a great group," Millett said. "I'll miss them." "At first it was a lot of commitment, but it's definitely worth it," said Natalie Adams, Shawnee freshman and Pi Beta Phi member. After months of practice and hard work, the freshmen are ready to get involved again. "Tonight is terrible," Morrison said. "It's the best and worst night in one." John Millett, Overland Park senior and Sigma Nu member, has been participating since his sophomore year. Brian Relph, Wichita freshman and Pi Kappa Phi member, said he did not think he would be involved in a theater reve when he came to the University of Kansas. Many agreed that the relationships they made throughout the production were the best part of their experience. The groups were able to bond through rehearsals and outside activities and meetings. "It's definitely been the most enjoyable two months I've had," Relph said. Jordan Albert, Stillwater, Okla., senior and Sigma Nu member, was participating in his first and last Rock Chalk this year. "It was fun meeting a lot of people, making a lot of really good friendships." Albert said.

The event held Saturday evening in the Kansas Union included dancing, speeches and songs. By Henry C. Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer India club celebrates springtime On Saturday night the Cultural India Club celebrated the coming of spring with standard fare — traditional dancing, singing and native food — and, to start the second intermission, a cover of the classic rock hit "Born to be Wild." Though not exactly traditional, the cover of Steppenwolf's hit highlighted the joining of Indian culture with America, something Anand Madhavan, a volunteer at Saturday's Vasant Vtsav celebration, appreciated. Madhaven and about 350 others gathered at the at Woodruff Auditorium and The Market in the Kansas Union to celebrate the coming of spring. Madhavan said the coming together of Indians and those less familiar with Indian culture was important. "I think one thing we should work on is bringing more non-Indians here," said Madhavan, Coimbatore, India, graduate student. "It's exciting to see people who aren't Indian take a vested interest in our culture." Festivities included a salute to "Bollywood," the Indian equivalent of Hollywood. Members of the Cultural India Club celebrated "Bollywood through the Years," by re-enacting scenes from musical movies. In addition to music and dance, the event featured two comedy routines: an American learning Indian culture and an Indian learning American culture. Arun Agarwal, Bombay, India, graduate student and president of the Cultural India Club, said he was pleased that Saturday's event featured more student participation than past celebrations. "It's something we've worked on and this time we've succeeded," he said. Edited by Brandon Gay --- 2 2A = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Inside Front MONDAY,MARCH 10,2003 News briefs STATE Unassuming millionaire leaves estate to community SCOTT CITY — Few people in this small western Kansas town suspected that Loyal Hoffman was a millionaire. It's no secret now. It's no secret. Hoffman, a retired farmer, lived modestly and quietly. But when he died Feb. 1 at the age of 84, he left the bulk of his estate — more than $2.5 million — to the Scott Community Foundation. Part of the money will help graduates of Scott County High School who plan to attend college in Kansas. Each year, one boy and one girl will receive a $5,000 scholarship. Other funds would go to the VIPs, a local senior citizen group, said Greg Unruh, the community foundation's president and chief operating officer of Scott County Hospital. "This is a tremendous start to the foundation," Unruh said. "This is a truly wonderful opportunity for our community. One of the things Loyal had in mind was that this would be an example for others to follow." Hoffman had made anonymous donations to the foundation in the past, and wanted his life savings to go to help the community, as well as to young scholars, said Charlene Unruh, Hoffman's neighbor and the trustee of his estate. "He was just one of the most unselfish people we ever met," she said. "He was a true friend. He also was very quiet and unassuming." Hoffman's parents moved to Scott County in the 1930s. He was a veteran of World War II, and came home after the war to farm. His donation was established as an endowment in the names of both Hoffman and his brother, Woodrow, who died in 1988. He is survived by two sisters. NATION lowa fraternity loses charter after alleged harassment AMES, Iowa — An Iowa State University fraternity has been stripped of its charter because of pranks after a Kansas State football game last fall. Two Delta Sigma Phi fraternity members and a pledge of the fraternity harassed Kansas State sorority members on the telephone after the football game in Manhattan, students said. The telephone conversation included "a rude way of asking them to come over to their chapter house to party," said Andy Klobnock, an ISU senior and president of the Delta Sigma Phi chapter. "It wasn't anything sexual," Klobnock said. University officials described the incident as more serious. Klobnock and university officials would not elaborate or identify the fraternity members. The men also sprayed a fire extinguisher and stole several items from the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity's Kansas State chapter house. LINCOLN, Neb. --- General Motors and the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition are on a quest to get the 16,000 Nebraska vehicles capable of running on gasoline blend of 85 percent ethanol. Use of high-alcohol gasoline encouraged in Nebraska The problem is, only one gas station in the state offers the high-alcohol blend for consumers, commonly called E-85. In fact, the Cubby's convenience store in downtown Omaha has the state's only E-85 pump. "Our first step will be to get more stations," said Todd Sneller of the Nebraska Ethanol Board. E-85 vehicles appeared on the market in the early 1990s as the federal government enlisted automobile manufacturers to use a cleaner-burning, grain-based fuel to clean up the air and cut dependence on foreign oil. According to ethanol experts, there are now more than 3 million "flex fuel" cars, trucks and vans on the road that can use either E-85, a 10 percent ethanol blend fuel, offered at many gas stations, or regular unleaded. -The Associated Press NEWS AFFILIATES KUJHTV KUJH-TV News Lack of male volunteers can create a problem for children in Lawrence.

MONDAY, MARCH 10, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A Student to be on 'Fear Factor' By Lauren Bristow Ibristow@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Would you eat cow, sheep and fish eyeballs? What if you could win $50,000 for doing it? Eating eyeballs is just one of four outrageous stunts that challenged Tom Fahrbach, Haven graduate student, in his quest for $50,000. He will appear on the reality television game show, *Fear Factor*, tonight at 7 on NBC. "All these people have to do is do this stupid stuff and you win $50,000," Fahrbach said. "When people would quit because they were too scared to perform the stunt, I'd be yelling at the screen, 'You idiots!'" Because Fahrbach is still under contract with NBC, he can't say whether he won the prize money or say which stunts he completed. But he can describe the four stunts that he and five other contestants faced. Fahrbach said the show was taped in February 2002 and included stunts ranging from swinging Tarzan-style across a busy street, eating the various Fahrbach's family and friends weren't surprised when he told them he was going to be on the show. NBC representatives interviewed 30,000 applicants during the interview process and six where chosen to compete on the show, Fahrbach said. eyeballs and sliding down the outside of the 350-foot-tall Luxor Hotel pyramid while trying to grab flags. The winner had to bet half of the prize money on one hand of blackjack, Fahrbach said. "I got an e-mail while Tom was in Brazil and all it said was 'Fear Factor baby, Fear Factor,'" said Bryce Gahagan, Fahrbach's roommate. "I thought to myself, Fahrbach sent his five-minute audition tape almost two years ago and had forgotten about it when he got a call from NBC. "I went with some friends to Brazil for about five months while I was waiting to see if I had gotten into medical school," he said. "When I got the call, I cut my trip a couple of weeks shorts so I could fly to Chicago for the interview." Fahrbach's mom, Patti Fahrbach, said she was thrilled her son was going to be on the show. But Fahrbach's dad, Mike, felt differently. 'Of course Tom would get on the show.' If anyone's going to win, he'd be the one." "I think my dad is a little embarrassed by it because his son is selling himself out on TV by eating eyeballs for $50,000," Fahrbach said. "But he still thinks it's funny and gets a kick out of how stupid V'll be." To watch the show, Tom's mom is having family and friends over while Tom and nearly 200 of his closest friends will be watching the show from a bar on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo. As for the $50,000 prize money, Fahrbach said if he had won he'd probably spend a little on something frivolous like a motorcycle and save the rest. But his mom thinks differently. "I think he'd end up using it foolishly by buying a fancy car or taking a trip," she said. — Edited by Anne Mantey By Lauren Bristow lbristow@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Alumna shoots for star status From playing Mammy Yokum in Buhler High School's production of Li'l Abner to singing country music on the stage of the Acuff Theater in Nashville, Tenn., KU alumna Amy Chappell is pursuing her dream of becoming a country music star. The 27-year-old Hutchinson native appeared Saturday night on the debut of Nashville Star, the USA Network's country cousin of American Idol. Emmerich and her husband, Kip, gathered with nearly 75 family members and friends at Chappell's aunt's restaurant in Hutchinson to watch the first show. "We're just so extremely proud of her," said Pam Emmerich, Chappell's mom. "I'm elated, and it all seems a bit surreal." said. "Just to realize that she was one of the final 12 and to see how many wannabes auditioned was amazing." We sat there, so totally excited whenever her face would come on," Kip Emmerich Chappell was one of 12 finalists chosen from more than 8,000 auditions nationwide. The pre-taped show that aired on Saturday showed local audition contests, semi-final performances and interviews as three judges made their way across America selecting finalists. Starting this Saturday, all shows will be live performances, said Karen Byrd, a publicist for the show. To add a more reality-television touch to the show, contestants live together in a house on Music Row in Nashville, Byrd said. Cameras will record the daily lives of contestants for footage that will be aired on the show. "What makes Nashville Star different is that it has the reality aspect of the contestants living together." Byrd said. "But a second thing that sets Nashville Star apart from other shows is that contestants also have to perform original music at times throughout the show." Chappell, reached by e-mail, said she wouldn't be available for an interview because of the hectic show schedule. According to Chappell's mom, Chappell studied music therapy at the University of Kansas. After graduating in 2000, Chappell moved to Nashville. "It was an opportunity for her to work with her music therapy degree," said Kip Emmerich. "But she was also talking about the aspect of being a singer and songwriter in Nashville." Nearly 40 members of Chappell's family are leaving on Friday for Nashville to see the first live show. Judges and the viewing audience will eliminate finalists during the next nine weeks and the winner will receive a recording contract from Sony Music Nashville produced by country music star Clint Black. - Edited by Anne Mantey conflicts?

One important aspect of the plan was missing: parking accommodations. Parking must be provided for the 50 new residents in an already overcrowded parking area. Otherwise, it will create a major inconvenience for three important groups - the scholarship hall community, the University community as a whole and the residents of the surrounding neighborhood. Many scholarship hall residents complain that they don't have adequate parking space as it is. This is consistently a concern for the All-Scholarship Hall Council, which has taken steps toward securing parking spots for Alumni Place permit holders in the last year. Because the issue of parking is already so sensitive, the addition of 50 more AP permits per year will only increase the gravity of the problem. The Kansas Union parking garage may become accessible to AP permit holders. In that case, current students, faculty and staff who park in the garage will face fewer available parking spaces, inconveniencing the University community and making the Union less accessible. Residents of the new scholarship hall would only forgo the long walk from the garage to the hall and park on Ohio Street or a nearby street. But residents of the Oread neighborhood already have enough trouble finding places to park on the street because it's so close to the University. The new scholarship hall may mean longer walks and fewer parking spaces for Ohio Street residents. The planning committee must make parking a priority. It could create new parking spaces in the alley behind the Amini Scholarship Halls on Louisiana Street or add a few spaces in the proposed courtyard for the new scholarship hall. The University and the surrounding community should work together to find a solution. The parking situation affects everyone on campus and in the neighborhood.

SO MANY CHOICES. THE BUSH PLAN ALL ALONG... ... AND WE GOT STRUGG ALONG. Bryan Mosley for The University Daily Kansan PERSPECTIVE DJ banter turns away listeners I am beginning to think that maybe I can live in a world where Avril Lavigne exists. After all, I was born into a world where Belinda Carlisle exists. Avril's fate should be the same as Belinda's, who is forever stuck in syndicated light rock hell. Even though the radio plays "I'm with You" instead of "Heaven is a Place on Earth," it never fails that ignorant disc jockeys will be rambling with their so-called witty repartee that targets "hip, young college students." Listening to the radio shouldn't have to include listening to a radio DJ's input on every song. Tell me who sings the song and cut the personal commentary. Eighty-seven percent of listeners tune out when commercials come on the radio, according to Ian MacRae of The Radio Wave. Why is it that, with this many people zoning out when music isn't playing, disc jockeys are still gainfully employed? Meagan Kelleher opinion@kansan.com COMMENTARY The Princeton Review describes a radio disc jockey's duties as making connections with the news or the songs they play. I beg to differ. I did not tune in to hear DJ Fluff 'n' Stuff's take on the new Coldplay song; I tuned in to hear the song. Austin Michael, a radio DJ for 105.9 The Lazer, said he thought commentary could add something a little extra to a listener's experience. said. "It's great if you can come up with a good joke, or try to make something local." "Good jockeys have something compelling to say to the audience," Michael The quality of music radio has deteriorated to the level of trash where DJs have conversations with callers more than they play music. It's as though the radio industry is pushing listeners toward Internet radio, where songs are played in a disc jockey-free abyss. James Poniewozik, Salon.com writer, said he recognized that radio stations had realized "they've turned jocks into liabilities." Although the formula for pop music hasn't changed, radio stations with asinine DJs who think they've discovered the next big thing will still exist. Every song aired sounds like every other song from the last five years, and it's always preempted by the DJ's proclamation that the song is his favorite new record. According to statistics from the Bureau of Labor, good DJs should have a "pleasing personality." Never has a DJ's personality been so intriguing that I would want to meet him. If obnoxious banter fit for 12-year-olds constitutes a pleasing personality, I'd rather listen to static. Michael of the Lazer said he liked to think that his "offbeat personality" and his "shock element" would keep listeners tuned in. In reality, all it makes me want to do is put in a CD. To make matters worse, radio DJs tempt bored listeners to call in with responses to whatever "wild or crazy" question of the day they've devised. Ranging from "What's the worst pick-up line you've ever heard" to "Name your worst Valentine's Day present," 12-year-old girls clog the phone lines so they can share their dramas with DJ Porpoise, DJ Sandbox or DJ Paper Cutter. Michael said that if we didn't have DJs, we wouldn't know what songs we were listening to. Exactly my point. Radio stations should cut the chatter and have DJs simply play music and tell only the vital statistics of the songs. But DJs will still flood the airways with their uninteresting banter. If only the music DJs played between their ramblings were worth listening to maybe then I could stand to tune in. Kelleher is an Omaha, Neb., sophomore in journalism.

Chivalry not so stately Kara Warner's "Dating defeated by casual sex" (Kansan, Feb. 28) chastised men not for disrespecting women, but for failing to execute certain "chivalrous" deeds that were expected in some vague era of lords and ladies. Never mind the fact that women at this time were seen solely as property, and that such "respectful" practices were actually for the benefit of the property owners. Women are still often considered less deserving than men (marital rape, for instance, is legal in 33 states). Ashley Smith would have us believe that every woman at the University of Kansas seeks identity through interaction with male basketball players. Her description of women could have come from one of the fabled lords: They need to define themselves in terms of men's status, and therefore naturally compete for men with potential for wealth and fame. Many spend their lives trying to eradicate such stereotypes, as they are detrimental to everyone. If people choose to Monoloques misunderstood Jana Mackey, Hays junior in women's studies To Mr. Magruder: If you would have actually come to see The Vagina Monologues instead of immediately forming opinions based on a newspaper article, you would have noticed that the monologues were more than just quoting a woman who said her vagina smelled like peaches or a monologue complaining about tampons. Monologues such as "Crooked Braid" were about rape and assault among American Indian women; "My Vagina Was My Village" talked about women who were raped in the middle of Europe as a systematic tactic of war; and "My Short Skirt" proclaimed that article of At first I wanted to be in The Vagina Monologues' cast just for fun, though I did not know what it was about. But after the last performance, it felt exhilarating to present Eve Ensler's creation to so many people. clothing "is not a legal reason to rape me." Although most of the monologues were amusing, possibly to take light of a taboo topic, they also raised the issue of violence toward women and girls. Before auditioning, the director asked me what I hoped to get out of this play and my answer was "everything is a learning experience." I can proudly say that was accomplished successfully. Lynzee Ford, Otethe freshman Classified conundrum Your Feb. 26 story about the classified staff at the University of Kansas focused on pay. In the existing system, state money for salaries is in employee specific "lock-boxes." It can't be used for other purposes. Peter's money can't be used to pay Paul. Do block grants have the same safeguards ? Only classified staff are part of the Kansas Civil Service system. The civil service was created to prevent arbitrary actions in hiring, firing, layoff and pay, and to prevent cronyism and nepotism. KU classified employees are being asked to consider leaving the civil service system. Layoff notices went to about 22 classified and 22 unclassified employees last year. The Chancellor's Oct. 2 message said in part that "if you are a classified employee with sufficient seniority, you are guaranteed continued employment through the 'bumping' mechanism of the classified employee system. Of the 22 classified employees whose positions have been announced to be eliminated, 15 have already accepted other positions at KU, in state government, or elsewhere.

Josh Meyers' project gave him the opportunity to travel to that unique place. Meyers, Wichita junior, shared his research from Antarctica at the Undergraduate Research Symposium last Saturday in the Kansas Union. Seventy students from several majors at KU presented their research through oral presentations, poster displays and videos. About 150 people attended. Meyers took a break from his research one day during winter break to watch an annual ceremony where the South Pole was realigned. He touched the four-foot pole that signifies the bottom of the Earth while there. Barbara Schowen, director of the University Honors Program, said the best part of the symposium was the variety, from departments such as sociology, history, English and science. "The symposium, as it has progressed, has greater sophistication of presentation." Schowen said. "Nobody did PowerPoint six years ago." Research experience gives students a better understanding of the nature of their discipline, Schowen said. Graduate schools look favorably upon students who have done research. "It shows they can go beyond passing a test," Schowen said. "They can do something independent and creative." For Katie Mitchell, Wichita senior, the symposium gave her a practice round for when she will present her research on hydrogen bonding at the American Chemical Society Convention at the end of March. "I get a chance to see what people understand and what areas I can communicate better," Mitchell said. Patrick Landazuri, Milwaukee junior, said entering the svm- posium broke down the stereotype that all research was science. "I've always had a nerdy conception of scientists," Landazuri said. "When you do these things, you realize everyone is cramming just as much and everyone hates specific parts of what they do." Jill Tisdale, Lawrence senior presented her landscape painting, inspired from her study of light using a old-fashioned view camera. "I would advise people to put themselves out there and apply for these things," Tisdale said. "You learn so much more than you think you are going to." - Edited by Ryan Wood Coalitions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Guarding against the influx of tuition increases. They want to lobby at Topeka so that tuition cannot increase more than 10 percent each year. Changing city ordinances 7323 and 7326. The ordinances limit city residential zones by allowing only three unrelated people to live together. The other ordinance allows dwelling searches. Thomas and Farokhi want to work with the Lawrence Progressive Campaign to address these ordinances. Allowing students to view comments and evaluations online of teachers before they enroll. "We're a coalition that believes in the individual and empowering the individual." Thomas said. "That's why we're out here is to give students a voice, specifically, any student who wants a voice." KUnited KUnited elected Andy Knopp, Manhattan junior, and Catherine Bell, Coffeyville junior, for its student body presidential bid. Relevant, realistic issues and their own confidence top their campaign goals. "We can accomplish this. We've done the research," Bell said. "We're not searching for far-fetched ideas that we know can't be enacted at a university." To Do List: Giving free campus bus rides to students with a KUID. The route would travel to the new recreation center and create a park and ride system at Memorial Stadium, opening up 300 parking spots for students. Continuing efforts to build a new Multicultural Resource Center. KUnited wants the new MRC running by the time freshmen become seniors. A paid executive position in Student Senate would ensure long-term commitment to cultural awareness. Off-setting tuition increases. "It's still a priority and it's still important," Knopp said. "If we stop working on it now, it could easily be dropped." - Letting students vote online on whether to increase student fees. - Making sure tuition enhancement money is used for student benefit. Expanding the book exchange and incorporating it into online enrollment. Advising and tutoring online. Students can look up school and graduation requirements online and e-mail questions to advisers. "It's definitely going to be a year's worth of work," Knopp said. "I don't think we've set up easy, low hurdles to step over." Lord Wad and the 12 Knights of the Crusade Lord Wad and his 12 Crusaders aren't a coalition. Brett Wadsworth, "Lord Wad," said they were a vision. Wadsworth, Overland Park junior, and Andy Foertsch, Lenexa senior, will campaign to the Camelot theme because of their infatuation with knights, honor and truth. Wadsworth's vision to be king of KU came to him in a dream. And he's trying to fulfill that dream. "I'm not saying that my word will live on, but I will bring a new light to someone trapped in a major they don't want to be in," he said. - Getting better student seats at basketball games. "KU needs To Do List: to respect students and not listen to alumni with fat pockets," Wadsworth said. Making classrooms for smokers and non-smokers. Encouraging instructors to share their passions, not just textbooks, with their students. Expanding funds for Safe Ride and a new bus route to stop drinking students from driving. Allowing beer at football and basketball games. Wadsworth wants to get his point across but also slide fun into the Senate elections. "I publicly challenge Delta Force and KUnited to a grand game of Trivial Pursuit," he said.

Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer After what both parties said was a much-needed meeting Thursday, Student Senate's Finance Committee and the First Nations Student Association appeared to have settled their differences. Student Senate and FNSA had been at odds over the potential funding of two student dancers for the group's annual Powwow on April 5 at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The funding request filed by FNSA asked for $200 to be paid to two student dancers appointed to positions in the powwow. At that meeting, Senate was reluctant to award FNSA the requested money. Members of FNSA thought they were not shown respect. Following the meeting, Kyle Johnson, Senate finance chairman, said he would oppose a forthcoming Senate bill which would outlaw Senate money being used to pay for student talent, a bill he had previously championed. Johnson. Wichita junior said that most of the time, he didn't think students should be funded for talent fees. The funding of the dancers was an exception. "I don't think we've set an unfair precedent in this case because their culture is different," Johnson said. Johnson's decision came after he and Blake Shuart, Senate assistant treasurer, attended FNSA's meeting intending to apologize for the way FNSA was treated at the Feb. 26 Senate meeting. Johnson and Shuart wanted to explain why they were advocating a change in Student Senate's 'policy that would ban using Senate money to pay students for talent fees. could explain to them what our point of view was of the incident and apologize for how they were treated," Shuart said. But the meeting did not go as Johnson and Shuart planned. "The members of FNSA were a lot more emotional and really were more interested in sharing than I thought they would be," said Shuart, Topeka junior. Members of FNSA responded emotionally when asked by Johnson and Shuart how they were treated by Senate and how they felt about the pending Senate legislation that would outlaw allocating Senate funds for talent fees Several FNSA members verged on tears as they explained the problems they saw in Senate's policies and how they were treated by the University. After the meeting, Ryan RedCorn, Lenexa senior and FNSA's copresident, said the group's response was triggered not by financial worries, but by emotional and spiritual concerns. "It's not a matter of money. It's possible to raise the money by ourselves," RedCorn said. "It's just a matter of where it comes from. It's just the fact that we want the University to support us." Olivia StandingBear, Pawhuska, Okla., junior and FNSA's co-president, said the conflict between her group and Student Senate was mostly due to miscommunication. "I don't think they knew what a powwow was and I don't think that our members had enough time to explain it," StandingBear said. "I can understand why they were skeptical, but I still also think they should have known what it was before they opposed it."

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B MONDAY, MARCH 10, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY THE COMMENTARY Ryan Wood rwood@kansan.com KU football now claims city's best backfield Today, the Kansas football program begins preparation for another dismal season with the start of spring practices. For 14 days this month and trickling into next month, about 80 football players will look to improve about 1 million percent to compete in the Big 12 next fall. But before practices even begin, the Jayhawks can take comfort in knowing they no longer have fierce competition within city limits. Fric Braem/Kansan Yeah, that's right. The city limits. short too many times. The Jayhawks went 2-10, producing their worst record in 14 years. They won zero Big 12 games. They'll go down this school year as the most terrible sports team at the University of Kansas — by far. The 2002 Kansas football team fell short too many times. But covering the play of both Kansas and Lawrence's two high school football teams last fall —Lawrence High and Free State High—led me to observe the most glaring, humiliating and hilarious truth pertaining to football in Lawrence. Kansas had Clark Green (average), Dan Coke (below average) and Reggie Duncan for a few plays last fall. Lawrence High School, meanwhile, had super speedster Chris Fulton and big, bruising Brandon McAnderson behind its quarterback — who, ironically, was Tommy Mangino, Kansas coach Mark Mangino's son. McAnderson rushed for 1,789 yards and 25 touchdowns for Lawrence High last fall. Fulton racked up 1,340 yards and 17 touchdowns. The Lawrence High School running back tandem was better than the University of Kansas'. Really, the only thing stopping either of them from even more ridiculous statistics was one another. Without Fulton, McAnderson would have carried the ball more and probably gotten 2,000 yards. Without McAnderson, Fulton could have flirted with two thousand. It's true. I couldn't make this up. It's pretty embarrassing when an NCAA Division I-A university is outdone by the local high school. Fortunately for Kansas fans, Mangino knows that if you can't beat them, you'd better join them. Late threes wrap up title Mangino watched his son hand off to the LHS backfield every Friday night in the fall. He liked what he saw. So he grabbed McAnderson, a 6-foot, 220-pound horse, and gave him one of the 3 million scholarships the football program is allowed to give out. Their styles of play were strikingly contrasting, yet equally effective. And both were superior to any running back on Kansas' roster. Mangino may have implied that he saw more running back talent on Friday nights than Saturdays when he announced that McAnderson had signed his letter-of-intent. Sure, today marks the first of Kansas football's 14 spring practices. But they've already made remarkable strides. Thanks to the graduation of McAnderson and Fulton from Lawrence High, Kansas can finally lay claim to the best running back corps in the city of Lawrence. Fulton, meanwhile, is headed to Butler County Community College and could very well end up in the Division I A ranks in a couple of years. "I thought Brandon McAnderson was a no-brainer for us," Mangino said. "Aaron's shot was pure luck," Kansas coach Roy Williams said after the game. "I've never seen a shot go in the basket harder in my entire life." Wood is a Lee's Summit, Mo., senior in journalism. Congratulations, Jayhawks. Although Kansas' players and coaches couldn't stop talking about Miles' improbable basket, the shot left the hostile Tiger crowd speechless. common with a shot put than a jump shot, but that didn't stop it from finding the bottom of the net. To Kansas sophomore guard Michael Lee, the shot was an indication of divine intervention. "When it went in," Lee said, "I said 'Somebody else wants us to win.'"

COLUMBIA, Mo. - For a Jayhawk fan, it doesn't get much better than this. Sixth-ranked Kansas (24-6 overall, 14-2 Big 12 Conference) clinched its second consecutive league title and stole a thriller.79-74, from rival Missouri (18-9, 9-7), spoiling the Tigers' final home game of the season.

Miles knocked down an off-balance three-pointer with 1:21 left in the game and as the shot clock expired. The bucket tied the score at 74. A three-pointer from Kirk Hinrich gave Kansas a 77-74 lead. Eric Braem/Kansan Late heroics give victory to Kansas By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter COLUMBIA, Mo.—Aaron Miles said he was lucky, Kirk Hinrich said he was confident. Either way both Kansas guards hit key three-pointers with under a minute and a half remaining in yesterday's 79-74 Kansas victory over rival Missouri. Coming into yesterday's regular season finale at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo., Kansas was eighth in three-point field goal percentage in the Big 12 Conference. But the Jayhawks overcame a 38-28 advantage in points in the paint with 6-of-14 shooting beyond the are including two three-pointers that put the finishing touches on the Big 12 title. With Kansas trailing Missouri 74-71 with 1:21 to go on the game clock, Miles caught a pass with the shot clock running down and Missouri guard Ricky Clemons in his face. Miles let go a line drive three-point attempt that barely skipped over the front rim and slipped through the net to knot the score at 74-74. Kansas coach Roy Williams described the shot as a "two-hand sinkerball." Miles told reporters after the game that he would be lying if he called the shot anything other than lucky. "I was trying to throw it on the rim so somebody could get a rebound," Miles said. After Tiger forward Rickey Paulding misfired on a jump shot, Hinrich grabbed the rebound and Kansas called a timeout to diagram a shot for the lead. Hinrich told Williams in the huddle that he would hit the next shot he would attempt. It looked as if Hinirch would not get the chance to take that shot after Nick Collison air balled a shot from the corner, but Michael Lee grabbed the rebound with the shot clock near expiration and found Hinrich. Hinrich responded with a 25-foot three-pointer, giving Kansas a 77-74 lead. "As soon as I caught it, I saw I had the room and when I shot it, I knew it was going in," Hinrich said. The Tigers never recovered from Kansas' clutch shots. "It's the first time since I've been here that we've caught a break like that," said Hinrich of the two late three-three pointers. While the three-point shot won the game for Kansas in the end, shots from beyond the arc got Missouri back in the game after the Tigers trailed 38-31 at halftime. During a four-minute stretch in the second half. Clemons scored nine of the Tigers' 11 points to erase the Kansas lead. Clemons led the Tiger attack with 16 second-half points on the heels of a 4-of-4 three-point barrage that gave Missouri a 74-71 lead at the 1:56 mark in the second half. Hireme to make the mark of our team," guard Keith Langford said. "We kept our poise." The three-pointers by Miles and Hinrich made the difference in the end. — Edited by Brandon Gay No.17 Kansas keeps rolling with sweep By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter a long time. The No. 17 Jayhawks won two more games this weekend against Western Michigan, 7-2 and 16-7, to complete a series sweep and improve their record to 16-4. The Kansas baseball team knows that people are waiting for them to return to earth and start losing a few games. But it seems intent on making skeptics wait for a long time. The team continued to be led by a quartet of upperclassmen in seniors Casey Spanish and Kevin Wheeler and juniors Ryan Baty and Matt Tribble. Spanish, Tribble and Wheeler are all batting better than .400, while Baty is hitting .363. Tribble extended his hitting streak to 19 games in Friday's victory with a double in the bottom of the eighth. He then set the school record of 20 during Saturday's victory, by crushing a home run in the bottom of the first inning that cleared the scoreboard in right field. Wheeler started Friday's game and pitched six innings, allowing only two runs and six hits. He earned the win and improved to 3-0 on the season. "I was down in the count, and he gave me a curveball, and luckily it got out of here," Tribble said. "I have been waiting the past two or three games to get a hit in my last at-bat." Spanish and senior catcher Sean Flynn each went 3-for-4 on the day and each tallied an RBI. Coach Ritch Price said he's been happy with the way Spanish has been playing. playing. "He has been real fun to watch," Price said. "If you look at his numbers for before this season, he has basically underachieved. He is a very bright and articulate young man and his confidence just continues to grow, and I think right now he is playing as good as he can play." In Friday's game the team also continued to get solid contributions from its top two relief pitchers, junior Brandon Johnson and Chris Smart. The duo combined for three scoreless innings and allowed only two hits between the two of them. only when wrestlers Saturday's game saw the Jayhawks score early and often as they routed the Broncos 16-7 in 30-degree weather. Junior Josh Duran started the game for Kansas and pitched six innings allowing three hits and four runs. The win improved Duran's record to 2-1. Kansas manufactured four runs in the first inning, two coming off of Trible's record setting home run. The Jayhawks then added one run in each inning until the fifth, when they managed to score six while sending 11 guys to the plate. Price was happy with both the team's hitting and pitching on the series. Spanish later added a home run in the seventh inning for two more runs and the Jayhawks would tag on one more run in the eighth to close out the scoring. "I thought we did an unbelievable job today," Price said. "To swing the bats this good in the weather is real nice."

In the midst of academic misconduct and NCAA ineligibility at schools like Georgia and St. Bonaventure this season, the recognition of great college basketball players has been overshadowed. It's time to focus on NCAA's greats, so here are my picks for first-team All-Americans. T.J.Ford, point guard, Texas Forget that he's a freshman, he averages 22.5 points per game (third in the Big East) and 9.8 rebounds per game. He has led the Orangemen to a much improved season after they did not make the NCAA tournament last year. He has scored 20 points or more in 10 consecutive contests. He's been held to under 10 points in only six games out of 27. Carmelo Anthony, guard/forward, Syracuse Ford is one of the quickest players in the NCAA with unbelievable court vision. After becoming the first freshman ever to lead the NCAA in assists per game, his 7.2 assists per game average leads the Big 12. He also excels as a gamebreaker. Ford led Texas to come back from 15 points down and hit the winning shot to defeat Oklahoma Saturday. He is the only Conference USA player to average more than 20 points per game. He is in the top 10 in assists, blocks, steals and field goal percentage in the conference. He has paced Marquette to big wins over Louisville, Cincinnati and Wake Forest. He's led Marquette to win its first conference title ever. David West, power forward, Xavier Upsets highlight wild weekend West is one of the most versatile players in the country. He is the two-time Atlantic 10 Conference player of the year. He leads the league in rebounding (12.0 per game), second in scoring (20.3 ppg), third in blocks (1.7 pg) and fifth in field goal shooting (51 percent). He is in the top 15 in many categories, including assists and steals. Collison will try to fight off T.J. Ford of Texas for the Big 12 Player of the Year award. Collison has been great in stepping up his play after Wayne Simien was out for the season with a dislocated shoulder. His 18.6 scoring average is third in the league and he places fifth in rebounding and sixth in field goal shooting. Nick Collison, power forward, Kansas Hwang is an Overland Park junior in journalism. The Associated Press North Carolina 82, Duke 79 CHAPEL HILL, N.C.—North Carolina salvaged its up-and-down year by beating No. 10 Duke 82-79 yesterday in a wild ending to the regular season. Rashad McCants scored 26 points and Raymond Felton added 18 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists as the Tar Heels snapped a six-game losing streak to their arch rival. A 30-footer by Dahntay Jones, wholed Duke with 22 points, that would have tied the game came just after the buzzer sounded. The officials watched TV replays to confirm the late shot as thousands of fans stormed the floor. There were 21 lead changes before a layup by McCants and a long 3-pointer by Felton gave the Tar Heels a 68-64 lead with 7:03 left. North Carolina sealed it from the free throw line, going 5-of-6 in the final 24 seconds. Pittsburgh 56. Villanova 54 MONDAY,MARCH 10,2003 PHILADELPHIA — Brandin Knight scored 15 points, despite missing his last five free throws, and No. 7 Pittsburgh struggled to the end before beating undermanned Villanova 56-54 yesterday. The Wildcats had just seven players available for the game after 12 players But Villanova had the ball and a chance to take the lead on a 3-pointer in the final seconds. However, after an errant inbounds pass by Randy Foye, Villanova couldn't get a shot before the buzzer. were suspended Saturday for allegedly making unauthorized telephone calls. Leading scorers Gary Buchanan and Ricky Wright, along with Andreas Bloch, Chris Charles, Jason Fraser, Lou Ruskey and Andrew Sullivan watched in street clothes from the bench. They stood with their teammates during the singing of the national anthem and joined in during huddles. Because the suspensions were staggered, Foye, Marcus Austin, Allan Ray, Derrick Snowden and Curtis Sumpter suited up despite being among the 12 players affected. Fogle and Ray each had 15 points and Sumpter added 14 for Villanova (15-14, 8-8 Big East), which has lost four in a row. Jaron Brown had 14 points for Pitt (23-4, 13-3), which enters this week's Big East tournament on six-game winning streak. NORMAN, Okla. — T.J. Ford scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half, including a fallaway jumper with 20 seconds left, as No. 4 Texas overcame a 15-point deficit to beat fifth-ranked Oklahoma 76-71 Saturday. Texas 76, Oklahoma 71 Royal Ivey had 16 points for the Longhorns (22-5, 13-3 Big 12), who ended Oklahoma's 37-game home winning streak. The victory means Texas is the No.2 seed in next week's Big 12 tournament. The Sooners (21-6, 12-4) will be the third seed. Hollis Price had 22 points for Oklahoma but didn't score in the final six minutes. Quannas White's 3-pointer with 4:19 to play gave Oklahoma a 71-65 lead. After Ford's gave Texas a 74-71 lead, Oklahoma missed three shots — a jumper by Price, an alley-oop by Kevin Bookout and a 3-pointer by De'Angelo Alexander. Wake Forest 78, N.C. State 72 RALEIGH, N.C. — Josh Howard scored 27 points, including six free throws in the final 1.7 seconds, as No.9 Wake Forest held off North Carolina State 78-72 Saturday to win its first outright Atlantic Coast Conference title since 1962. Howard's tie-breaking free throws didn't come without controversy, as he grabbed a missed shot and went back up as the shot clock buzzer went off. After reviewing television replays, officials awarded Howard the free throws. Howard made both, then intercepted the inbounds pass and was fouled again. The senior made two free throws after a technical foul and added two more to end the game.

But the changes did not hamper the Jayhawks Saturday, and they defeated the No. 54 ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers 5-2. "We knew they were going to be very tough," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "To win the close matches really helps our confidence." While still changing the doubles lineups, Kansas won all three matches and earned the doubles point. At No.1 doubles, sophomore Paige Brown and junior Courtney Steinbock defeated Leslie Harvey and Jen Baccarani 8-4. The victory improved the tandem's record to 6-1 when playing together at the No.1 position. Fighting an array of injuries junior Kristen Steinbock teamed with junior Emily Haylock to defeat Gitte Ostermann and Pamela Castillejos 8-3. Kristen Steinbock and Haylock are now undefeated at 4-0 this season. Freshman Christine Skoda and senior Kim Lorenz defeated Rose Ketmayura and Anna Oehme 8-5 at the No.3 doubles spot. In singles play, the matches were a battle at three of the positions. The match came down to Courtney Steinbock with Kansas leading 3-2 and needing only one more win to clinch the victory over Nebraska. In three sets, Courtney Steinbock defeated Ostermann 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 at the No.1 position. "I have not played well lately, so I was trying to just stay consistent by keeping the ball in play." Courtney Steinbock said. At No. 4 singles, Skoda won a close match against Ketmayura 6-2, 6-7, 6-4. Brown is on a four-match winning streak with the victory over Baccarani, 6-1, 6-1 and extends her No. 2 singles record to 6-3. Kansas improves to 6-4 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12 Conference while Nebraska drops to 7-4 and 0-4 in the Big 12. The Jayhawks have a border rival match-up Wednesday against the Missouri Tigers, who are undefeated in the conference. — Edited by Lindsay Hanson Track qualifiers announced today By Chris Wintering cwintering@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Kansas women's track and field distance medley relay had one last opportunity coming into Saturday's Cyclone National Track Qualifier to run in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. The team was coming off a great performance at last week's Big 12 Indoor Championships and was preparing to set an automatic qualifying time for next week's championship. "I think we really came together at the conference meet," sophomore Megan Manthe said. The team, made up of junior Laura Lavoie, sophomore Kim Clark, freshman Angela Pichardo and Manthe, finished fourth on Saturday. Although it did manage to set a provisional time by running 11:32.30, it failed to hit the automatic qualify time of 11:19.00. "I think we all did our best we could've done at the meet, but it is disappointing to know we were right there," Pichardo said. Earlier in the season, the NCAA set both provisional and automatic times for every event. It then ranks those athletes who beat those times and enters them into the national meet. Today the NCAA will announce the athletes who will make the field. The NCAA does this by first entering all the automatic qualifiers. Then they rank all the provisional qualifiers and enter the best times or marks into the meet. Because not enough provisional spots exist, a large number of athletes will not make the cut. "The distance medley has been real competitive this year around the country, and I don't think our time is going to make it," Manthe said. Even if the team does not make it, the women were happy with the team's performance. "All the runners and the field events had a great indoor season," Pichardo said. "I think it shocked me and a lot of other people, and I am proud to be a member of this team." The Cyclone National Track Qualifier was what is called a last-chance meet. It is an individual's final opportunity to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Kansas sent a select number of athletes to the meet to compete. The women's 4x400 relay team of sophomore Brooklyn Hann, junior Stacy Keller, senior Shameika McField and Clark finished second. The team's time of 5.39.12 hit a provisional qualifying mark and set a school record. This increased the team's number of provisional qualifiers to five. The two relay teams along with senior Anson Jackson in the 60-meter hurdles, sophomore high jumper Sondra Rauterkus, senior pole vaulter Jeremy Hull all provisionally qualified. Junior sprinter Leo Bookman in the 200-meter dash was the only member of the team to run an automatic qualifying time. Edited by Michelle Burhenn THREES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B But Miles' shot and a fallaway 25-footer by Kansas senior Kirk Hinrich a minute later, had the crowd turning victory banners into projectiles to be hurled along with colorful insults at the Jayhawks as they left the court. Hinrich and Miles have grown accustomed to frustrating opposing teams and fans throughout the season, but they were joined by a couple of With Kansas junior forwards Jeff Graves and Bryant Nash confined to the bench, Graves with foul trouble and Nash with a cut above his right eye, seldomused freshman forward Moulaye Niang found himself an important part of the Jayhawks' closing run. Niang played solid defense and dropped in a turnaround jumper from the middle of the lane, giving Kansas a 65-62 advantage during a crucial back-and-forth exchange between the border rivals. After the game, Niang said he was unlikely heroes yesterday. ready for the challenge. "I like to play," he said. "I'm not afraid of anybody." Niang's second-team partner, Lee, took another step for the reserves when he made clutch plays at the end of each half. In the closing minutes of the first half, Lee drained a three-pointer from the top of the key despite being run into by Missouri junior guard Josh Kroenke. Kroenke left the game after the collision, but Lee drained the ensuing free throw, stretching a4-point lead to 8. When Kansas senior forward Nick Collision fired an errant jump shot with 29 seconds left in the game, once again it was Lee making the big play. Lee leaped over Missouri junior guard Ricky Clemons, grabbed the rebound and tossed it to Hinrich for his tiebreaking three-pointer. The rebound and assist likely saved the day for Kansas, but Lee, who finished with 11 points, said he still has a lot of work to do. "Going into the Big 12 Tour nament," he said, "I know I've got to play a lot better than this." —Edited by Michelle Burhenn Lawrence.com and Sunflower Broadband are bringing KU students the coolest Spring Break contest ever!

He urged legislators yesterday to free the University from tedious state regulations so the University could operate more efficiently. "In a year when you can't give us much money, you could give us the ability to manage the taxpayer's money better and leverage it further." Hemenway said. Hemenway and other state and University education officials testified before the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee on Higher Education. He acknowledged the current state financial crisis but said budget cuts were not the only way to curb spending. After he was asked for more specific suggestions, Hemenway told the subcommittee members that the Board of Regents was preparing legislation in three or four areas, including surplus property and state printing. Hemenway cited Wichita State University as an example. Officials from Wichita State found if they weren't required to use a state printer, they could save a considerable amount of money. Hemenway said if such reforms were enacted, the University would remain a state agency, subject to open records and meeting laws and other forms of accountability. "The biggest difference would be a marked increase in our efficiency and effectiveness, despite the staff and funding reductions mentioned earlier," he said. Hemenway gave the subcommittee a partial list of the programs eliminated at the University to illustrate the effects of the state's budget cuts. His list of strategic reductions included a prenatal nursing program at the Medical Center, the mathematical geology section at the Kansas Geological Survey and public access to the Museum of Anthropology. He also said the University had laid off 44 people and eliminated 159 positions. Sen. Paul Feleciano, D-Wichita asked Hemenway to explain why those programs were picked to be cut. Hemenway said each decision was not done whimsically and capriciously. "You can cut across the board and have all elements decline, or you can cut strategically," he said. Hemenway's statements echoed those of Kansas State University President Ion Wefald. "Remember that movie, The Perfect Storm?" he asked. "We're in the perfect storm, aren't we?" According to Hemenway's testimony, the University received $242 million in state funds in the fiscal year 2002 but the University's total revenue for the year was $708 million with tuition, room and board, private gifts and research grants. "No other arm of state government generates this kind of immediate return on investment," Hemenway said. Student joins world's best martial arts competitors By Megan Hickerson meganhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Although most people have to pay for items when they break them, Jason Coleman has the opportunity to get paid for breaking things. Coleman, Bonner Springs junior, has been involved in Tae Kwon Do for ten years. Coleman's interest in martial arts stemmed from childhood memories of watching The Karate Kid. "I always enjoyed the movie, but I really got involved when a friend took me along to his Tae Kwan Do class," Coleman said. Coleman began training at White Tiger Tae Kwon Do in his hometown of Bonner Springs. His practice paid off. After international competition, Coleman is now ranked second in the world in sparring, and he's ranked third in the world for team demonstrations. The first-place winner took home $2,000. Coleman said that he's gained more than just strength training from Tae Kwon Do. "It's all about respect and self-confidence," Coleman said. "It's really a mental game." Coleman can muster up the concentration to break wooden boards with his head, and he can also break concrete with his bare hands. Aside from these traditional breaking materials, he has also broken a brick with a Tae Kwan Do belt during a creative breaking competition. "It only hurts when you chicken out," SEE BEST ON PAGE 6A Keeping Score Keep Sco By Sarah Warren www.kansan.com author staff writer At the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony last fall, Kwaita women's basketball coach Marian Washington was greeted with a warm smile. It was former Kansas men's coach and current NBA coach Larry Brown. He leaned over, and with a knowing look, assured her. "We've all had one of those years." A year that tries the soul like none other—a nightmare that won't end until the season's final buzzer sounds. When a coach looks upon the kids that work on hard every day and wonders but frustration and hopelessness. When whispers of firing permeates the dead air. When no matter how much you fight the tide, you just slip farther and further out to sea. For Washington, last year was that year. Her worst season ever in the three decades she's coached at Kansas. The team went 5-25 and 0- 16 in the Big 12 Conference. It was the first team ever to go winless in the short history of the Big 12. Kansas became the first school ever in NCAA history to have one team go winless for 16 conference games, while its male counterpart went undefeated. The team also set a Jayhawk record for the fewest points scored in a game — 35 against Colorado's 70. Those are not Marian Washington's types of records. Those are not the kind of things she will accept. Championship trophies line her office furniture. Awards and plaques cover the walls. Going 5-25 isn't Kansas women's basketball, and therefore, it's not Marian Washington either. "I'm very grateful to the good Lord because I felt like I'd been in a fire furnace and the good Lord brought me out unscathed," she said. "You learn a lot from those times." Unscathed, but with another below .500 season under her belt with this season's Jayhawks, the question now is will time be good to Marian Washington? More than half of her life has been spent nurturing the Kansas women's basketball program. But in today's cut-throat atmosphere of Division I women's basketball, Washington is somewhat of a relic. She was a pioneer of her sport, but it Can Marian Washington's 30 years at KU be upset by one dismal season? seems that the sport has gone out on its own, challenging her to keep stride or lose her career. Last season, A Bohl, Kansas athletics director, announced at the Big 12 Tournament that Washington would stay on as head coach, but just a few months earlier he had threatened that he wanted all Kansas athletics teams in the Top 25. That was somewhere Washington's team hadn't been since the '99-00 season. "The teams that are not at that level we have to evaluate and make some changes so that they can compete at that high level," Bohl said. "Basketball is at that level, as is baseball, and I just heard that softball won, so they could also be ranked in the Top 25 soon." Richard Konzem, associate athletics director, explained the the athletics' department's goal of having all of its teams in the Top 25 was just that—a goal, not a threat. "That's the standard and goal we have for each of our other sports," Konzem said. "It's easier in some sports than others. This is a very strong league in basketball, both the men's and the women's teams." And, at the regular season finale of this season, Washington, with one year left on her contract and a SEE WASHINGTON ON PAGE 5A Costa Rica plans indictments in KU student murder case NICARAGUA COSTA RICA San Jose Gulfto PANAMA By Erin Ohm eohm@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Costa Rican officials will seek indictments in the murder of KU student Shannon Martin on March 20, the deadline for prosecution to seek indictment in the case. The officials assured University of Kansas representatives Jeff Weinberg and Diana Carlin last week they would pursue indictments against three suspects and continue to search for new evidence in the case at a briefing in San Jose, Costa Rica. March 20 is also the final holding date for a female suspect who has been in the custody of Costa Rican authorities since October 2001, six months after Martin's violent murder in Golfito, Costa Rica. Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, and Carlin, dean of international programs, traveled to San Jose last week for a briefing on the status of Martin's case. They met with Costa Rican First Vice President Lineth Saborio and Jorge Rojas, director of the Organization of Judicial Investigation. "The vice president said, and director Rojas said, if this was a shut and closed case, they would have been for an indictment months ago, but this is not an easy case," Weinberg said. Jeanette Stauffer, Martin's mother, said she was grateful for the assistance the University has offered her family during the nearly two-year investigation. "It's been a marathon, an absolute marathon," Stauffers said. Weinberg said he and Carlin had detailed questions from the Martin family and the University. After an initial meeting with Rojas Wednesday, the director arranged to fly in other officials for an additional meeting Friday. At the meetings, Weinberg and Carlin discussed the following topics with the officials: Rojas said the organization was still searching for a possible witness in the case, a taxi driver who may have picked up the suspects near the nightclub where Martin was killed on the night of the murder, Weinberg said. He also said the organization showed him and Carlin a photograph of the possible witness, but that the man had left Golfito and officials believed he was somewhere in San Jose. Officials are still trying to locate the man.

CAMPUS University to participate in statewide tornado drill The University of Kansas will participate in the statewide tornado drill that will be conducted by the National Weather Service today. Douglas County will activate its warning sirens in both the early afternoon and early evening. The University will participate in the afternoon by testing its severe weather warning and "all clear" announcement systems in buildings that are equipped. The buildings that will be affected are Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, Hilltop Child Development Center, the Stewart Wing of Haworth Hall, JRP Hall, Lewis Hall, Mrs. E's, Lied Center, the Networking and Telecommunications Services section of McCollum Hall, Murphy Hall, Strong Hall, Twente Hall and Watkins Memorial Health Center. The Public Safety Office will post notices on the doors of buildings that will be affected by the test. No action will have to be taken by students and faculty in the buildings at the time because it is just to test the system, said John Mullens, assistant director of security and emergency planning for the Public Safety Office. "We would ask that they consider what they would have done if they found themselves in this situation," he said.

Liu said packages for spring break were still available. Travel options available By Nicole Roché nroche@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Last-minute travel options are still available for those with dreams of sun-streaked beaches. Kevin Liu, travel adviser for STA Travel in the Kansas Union, said packages were still available for students with bags packed and nowhere to go. Liu said students wanting last-minute packages should expect to pay at least $70 more than they would have in November. The extra cost was usually due to late fees, processing charges and overnight delivery for tickets, Liu said. Destinations that are still available include Las Vegas, Orlando and Miami. A Monday through Thursday package for a Miami trip purchased this week would cost $800 or more for airfare and three nights' accommodation, Liu said. Ginger Boring, travel consultant for Adventure Travel, 544 Columbia Drive, said students could still purchase a Jamaica package. She said Student Travel Services, the company she books trips with, wasn't charging extra for the last-minute purchase. People can make reservations until Saturday, which is the day before the Jamaica flight leaves. Boring said. Two-person packages are available from $804 for hotel and air to $1,384 for the all-inclusive package, which also provides meals and drinks. Kyle De Haven, St. Louis senior, thought he had his spring break travel plans in order. De Haven and eight of his friends decided six months ago to go skiing in Vancouver. The group had everything ready, including hotel reservations, but they put off one enu cial detail — how they were going to get there. "We're under 25, so only one place would let us rent a van," De Haven said. By the time De Haven and his friends contacted the rental company two weeks ago, all the vans were already reserved. Nicole Dreesen, branch manager at STA, said the best advice she could give students was to book by late fall or people end up with fewer options. De Haven said he and three of his friends have settled on a road trip to Chicago instead. They have a parent's mini van and a friend's apartment to stay in. "It won't be as fun as hanging out in Vancouver," De Haven said. "But we have a free place to stay and it's not Lawrence." — Edited by Erin Chapman Author discusses famed works of distant relative Jane Austen By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer His book may have been dull, but that was fine with him, said Richard Jenkyns. "Dullness is the essence of the book. The book is full of dull," said Jenkyns, the great-great-great great nephew of 19th century author Jane Austen. Jenkyns spoke yesterday in the Kansas Union, giving a sneak preview of his new book, A Park with a View; Jane Austen's Mansfield. Approximately 110 people were on hand to hear Jenkyns talk at 4 p.m.yesterday at the Centennial Room of the Kansas Union. Jenkyns said he wrote the book because he found himself disagreeing with works written about Austen. "I wanted to get something off my chest," he said. Jenkyns said the recent adaptations of Austen's novels into movies also factored in writing the book. "I think the movie Clueless; although it was a modern story, captured the true spirit of Jane Austen, than any other adaptation that has all the costumes," he said. After the lecture, Jenkyns talked with the audience over punch and chocolate cake. Jenkyns recited passages from Mansfield Park and offered interpretations of characters, plot developments and style. "Mansfield Park included the only person in six novels that had a psychological disturbed character," Jenkyns said. "It is Austen's problem novel." Jenkyns is a visiting professor at Boston University this year. He has written The Victorians and Ancient Greece, Three Classical Poets: Sappho, Catullus and "I think the movie 'Clueless,' although it was a modern story, captured the true spirit of Jane Austen, more than any other adaptation that has all the costumes." Richard Jenkyns Author and great-great-great-great nephew of Jane Austen Juvenal and Classical Epic: Homer and Virgil. Marjorie Swann, associate professor of English, said they were fortunate to have Jenkyns come speak. "He is very knowledgeable about classical literature and how English literature responds to the classics," Swann said. Stolen motors hinder crew teams Edited by Jason Elliott By Erin Ohm The Kansas rowing team and KU crew club may have a harder time practicing because of missing horsepower. Five outboard motors, which were valued at $9,940 and were taken from the teams' coaching boats, were stolen sometime between Feb. 3 and Thursday from an area in Burcham Park, 200 Indiana St. Two of the motors that were stolen belonged to the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation, and three more were owned by KU crew. Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said someone forced entry into the area in Burcham Park, which was surrounded by a locked chain-link fence. Patrick said police had no suspects at this time. The KU crew club is a sports club organized by KU Recreation Services, and the Kansas rowing team is under the direction of KUAC. Jeremy Struemph, president of KU crew and St. Mary's senior, said the club crew team did not have any extra equipment it could use for the coaching boats. Struemph said he planned to order new motors today and the team should have replacements after spring break. "We'll get back on the water just a couple days late," he said. Rob Catloth, Kansas rowing coach, said the theft would not affect practice for the rowing teams because he had spare motors he could use until the others were replaced. Catloth said coaches used the boats to be on the water with team members for instruction and safety. Catloth said the theft seemed to be fairly professional because the motors were cut directly from the boats. "They had to work for a couple hours to get them off, I would guess," he said. Catloth said he wouldn't be able to do much else to protect equipment from theft in the future. "Locks keep the honest people out," he said.

CARL ZAHN Y MARCH 11, 2009 4A = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OPINION TUESDAY,MARCH 11,2003 EDITORIAL BOARD 'Under God should stay in pledge Senate passed a resolution 99-0 in support of the Pledge of Allegiance in the wake of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision to prohibit the recitation of the Pledge in nine western states. The Court decided that the phrase "One nation, under God" represented a government endorsement of religion. The decision can be solidly based on a certain interpretation of the Constitution (so could prohibition for awhile). But this is a case of political correctness gone haywire. If you don't want to say "under God," just don't say it. It is not necessary to have the pledge banned. Michael Newdow, a California atheist with a daughter in public school, objected to the words "under God," according to the official ruling. He said the phrase coerced his young daughter and violated the First Amendment. News Flash: The United States Senate is in almost total agreement on something. He is right to some degree. The first phrase of the amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." But the very next phrase is "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Well, inasmuch as the Court has stuck to the first, it has denied the second. School children in the nine states will be barred from saying the pledge altogether unless the Supreme Court sees it fit to overturn the ruling. This is not a matter for the courts. The indignation of one man has led to the banishment of an American tradition for almost 10 million school children. This violates the principles of democracy. Newdow should simply have instructed his daughter to omit the words "under God." If this singles her out, she'll have to learn to accept it. The high Court isn't designed to protect the feelings of a schoolgirl. What's more, the words "under God" fall far from the "establishment of religion." Quite the contrary. The phrase, "under God," means a thousand things to a million different people. It certainly does not bring to mind the narrow, limited case of a state religion. If you don't like saying "under God," don't say it. First Amendment litigation is getting out of hand. Because we hold the amendment in the highest regard in its present form, the only possible remedy is using common sense. In the future, we need to take more time for consideration before bringing things like the Pledge of Allegiance under legal attack. We need to admit that the outrage of one is not a solid basis for massive, sociopolitical changes.

Newsroom needs diversity to avoid racial insensitivity READERS' REPRESENTATIVE During any given semester at The University Daily Kansan, it's inevitable that mistakes will slip into the paper. But within the month of February, two mistakes were particularly damning because they were culturally insensitive. READERS' REPRESENTATIVE Leah Shaffer readersrep@hansan.com A. The first one involved a Feb. 6 Tongue in Beak article that played up the cultural stereotype that Asians eat dog. The second mistake involved a Feb. 25 Black History Month blurb that highlighted what had occurred in Black History during that day. The Kansan had been running the blurb every day that month, and it usually included short biographical information of whoever the blurb featured. On that particular day, the section highlighted information about Mike Tyson winning his first heavyweight title and R. Kelly receiving a Grammy. Unfortunately, this blurb also included biographical information on Tyson's rape conviction and mentioned allegations that R. Kelly was involved in statutory rape. This information should not have been included in a box that was supposed to highlight positive aspects of Black History. How did this and the Tongue in Beak article slip into the paper? The quick answer is that both pieces got into the paper, not because of bad intentions, but because of insensitive mistakes. Henry C. Jackson, the reporter who had been writing the daily Black History blurs, who is also white, said the Tyson and R. It's understandable that reporters can make mistakes, especially when they're stressed out and still learning. The problem is that these mistakes slipped past every editor who proofed those pages. The Kansan cannot afford to roll around in a daze of obliviousness when it comes to culturally and racially insensitive remarks. When that gets into the paper, it only heightens the sense of isolation that minorities might feel on a predominantly white campus. Kelly facts were included because he had wanted to put more recent events in it. It did not occur to him until later that biographical information should not have been included because it was not a positive aspect of Black History. At the heart of the problem is that every semester, the Kansan gets a batch of editors who will likely make new mistakes. The other part of the problem is that there are few, if any, minorities on Kansan staff who would be more likely to catch something insensitive before it makes it into the paper. First, the staff needs more diversity training. Justin Henning, managing editor for the Kansan, said reporters and editors had been going through diversity training since 2001. This training lasts about two hours and takes place at the beginning of the semester at the Multicultural Resource Center. This is a good start, but classroom training should happen throughout the semester. This training should teach new editors and reporters to spot subtle, cultural, ethnic or racial stereotypes that can creep into writing. Simply apologizing every time something slips in is not the solution to these problems. Instead, two main things need to happen. The second part of the solution is something that all newsrooms struggle with. Newsrooms need more minorities. You don't have to be a journalism major to participate at the Kansan. Past campus editors have not been journalism majors, as have correspondents, columnists and designers. Anyone can apply for positions. If the Kansan can get more minorities in those positions, it will be better off. Mistakes will always slip through; it's simply human nature. But with more training and more participation from minorities, those types of mistakes will happen less frequently. Shaffer is a Hays senior in journalism and environmental studies.

Increased tuition enhances education According to a recent article in The University Daily Kansas, "Many students may not realize that the last tuition increase was not a one-time event." That surprised me, because there was so much public discussion last year and into the fall about the tuition increase proposal, both how the money would be used and the fact that this was an ongoing effort. GUEST COMMENTARY I am pleased to introduce you to the esteemed Sir John W. Clarke, a distinguished British economist and historian. He is renowned for his comprehensive works on economic history and has been a key figure in the development of modern economic theory. His publications have significantly contributed to our understanding of economic behavior and decision-making. At the request of the Board of Regents, the University proposed a five-year plan that would raise resident undergraduate tuition to the average of all public Big 12 universities. The Board approved this plan last year, but the actual increases are decided on a year-to-year basis. The five-year plan calls for an tuition increase of $16.50 per credit hour — the same as in 2002-03 — and a base increase tied to the Higher Education Price Index. Robert Hemenway opinion@kansan.com All of the Regents universities are involved in this process. We had our first opportunity to discuss our tuition proposals at the Feb. 20 Board meeting. There will be additional discussion at other meetings this spring. The Board will vote on the changes in June. Once that happens, we'll communicate the information to all students. Our tuition strategy is not a direct result of the state's recent budget cuts. We do not intend to replace budget cuts with tuition dollars. As we did this year, the bulk of the new tuition revenue is targeted at enhancing academic programs and student life at the University. We believe that if students pay more, they should get more. As we did this year, 20 percent of the projected new tuition revenue will be used for KU Tuition Grants, essentially not harming the neediest KU students. This year, nearly 4,000 students received KU tuition grants, which total $2.2 million. The outcome of this concern for cost and access? The University had its largest enrollment increase in 16 years. At Lawrence, the tuition increase funded $8.7 million worth of technology improvements, graduate teaching assistant salary increases, higher student hourly wages, classroom improvements, library support, new faculty startups, support for schools and departments, and other benefits to students. At the Medical Center, the figure was $1.1 million for a similar list. We plan similar outcomes with the new funding, in keeping with a plan developed last year by students and faculty. Even at the end of this five-year plan, the University will remain modestly priced compared with other Big 12 universities and peer universities nationwide. For this strategy to work, the University needs a four-way partnership of faculty, students, donors and state government. Faculty compete and win research grants — $245 million worth last year. Students are doing their part, through a tuition increase of about $600 per year Donors are also doing their part; through KU First Invest in Excellence, which has raised $404 million so far for a variety of projects. Recent reverses in the stock markets have reduced the amount of private funding the KU Endowment Association can provide, but its commitment to supporting the University and our students is undiminished. The other partner is the Legislature and the Governor. They must try to do their part, too. It's ironic that faculty, students and donors have increased their support for KU while state funding has declined significantly. That Kansan article concluded with a student saying. "Well at least now I know (a tuition increase is) coming and can start preparing for it." That preparation should include taking full advantage of student financial aid programs, including any tax credits and savings programs that apply to your situation. Friday, I testified at a U.S. Department of Education hearing on ways to improve these programs. I spoke from personal experience, because I know how Pell Grants, Stafford Loans and other forms of financial aid spell access to higher education for many students. I say it to donors all the time and I'll say it to our students as well: Thank you, Jayhawks, for your investment in KU. The increased tuition you pay enhances the University and enhances your own education. It also underscores the growing need for this state to once again become a full partner in the funding of its universities.

Scott Reynolds/Kansan Marian Washington has coached the KU women's basketball team for 30 straight seasons, the second longest record in the NCAA. Recently, she has come under fire from fans and media due to the dismal performance of her teams, who haven't enjoyed a winning season since 2000. "I can't really say that I have any definite feelings," Washington said about her future. "But I don't think I had any feelings from the very beginning (of the season) in terms of where anyone stood — everyone's got their own agenda. Mine is to be here and to do the best job I can." Many, though, have questioned her ability to run a Division I program in this century. Bohl is being officially supportive, even though Washington's team isn't ready for the Top 25. "What you're looking at with the women's basketball team is improvement," Bohl said. "Marian Washington is getting some talented players in here and they are really starting to show signs of improvement. They have a very young team, and in a few years time, they could also be ranked in that top 25. I really feel that they are moving in the right direction." Yet others don't agree. They call her office and leave nasty remarks with no name, they write spiteful letters and don't put a return address and they thought she shouldn't have returned after going 5-25. Sports fans seem to have short and fickle memories. Thirty years is a chunk of time that, for many, is difficult to understand. And for sports fans in general, 30 years can seem like an eternity. The validity of sports rests in the here and now. Records are broken and names are forgotten. Darling athletes plastered on the front of sports magazines lose their place in public conscience the minute that they have graduated, gotten injured or had their name scratched out of the record books. Forgotten History PETER J. KING Coach Washington doesn't ever seem to forget a player. Covering Washington's office bookshelves are the smiling faces of many of the players who have donned a Kansas jersey in the past 30 seasons. Players with national recognition mingle alongside players whose names have long been forgotten by those outside of the program. There too are the awards that Washington and those women have garnered over the last few decades. Not all of the seven conference or six conference tournament trophies line the room, but just the overflow, it seems. Most of the time it's easy to think the history of this program "We were at a point so long people took us for granted. No one knew our accomplishments, but all of a sudden one year, everyone knew about that one year." Marian Washington Women's basketball coach on '01-'02 season has been forgotten and it must just reside on these walls. Left in the faces of Angela Aycock, Tamecka Dixon, Lynette Woodard and Lynn Pride. In the heat of last season, it must have seemed to Washington as if that nightmare of a season had discredited her entire three-decade career — blotting out those names, faces and accomplishments. Her eyes seem to glint back and forth through the memories as she talks. Washington's face has barely aged since she arrived on this campus in her mid-twenties. But her voice is mature and reminiscent, as if she longs for those happier stages in Jayhawk history. A time when Aycock and Dixon were Kodak All-Americans. When Pride was named All-Big 12 three seasons in a row. And when Woodard was racking up accolades such as 1980s Big Eight Player of the Decade, fourtime Kodak All-American honors, becoming the first woman to join the Harlem Globetrotters and scoring each of her 3,649 points, the best career total for a female collegiate player. "We were at a point so long people took us for granted," Washington said, furrowing her brow. "No one knew our accomplishments, but all of a sudden, one year, everyone knew about that one year." Indeed, for 10 years straight from the 1989-1990 season to the '99-'00 season. Washington's Jayhawks had won at least 20 games per season and had appeared in the NCAA Tournament nine times and the Women's National Invitational Tournament once. They were regulars in the Associated Press Top 25 poll during the 1990s. Things were consistently good. But Washington rang in the new century headed for troubled waters and it seemed that everyone outside of the program could see the iceberg ahead, if they were looking. In the slippery season of '00-01, Washington's stern eyes watched as her team fell from a 20-10 record to a 12-17 record, finishing ninth in the Big 12. It wasn't bad, but it was a below-average season. She hadn't had a season like that since '83-'84, when her team went 11-16. Women's basketball expert Mechelle Vopel said it was obvious that 12-17 wasn't going to be the worst of it. She knew what was going to happen. She knew that scoring power wasn't coming in and that going into '01-'02 it was going to be a long season for the Jayhawks. "Everybody who covers the team, they knew that that was going to happen, it was very,very obvious that that was going to happen," said Vopel, a Kansas City Star sportswriter and regular ESPN.com contributor. "Marian had a track record of a 'star player' program. When Lynn Pride graduated, you didn't have that go-to player. That system wasn't set up to operate without that star player. The bottom line is that recruiting failed them." The Jayhawks were left with good seniors that had no chemistry and no one that could be the team's standout performer. Washington's recruiting system it seemed hadn't progressed to the pace of other Division I teams. During the season when she made the base for the seniors of '01-'02, there was a recruiting shuffle as assistant coach Pam Decosta left for two seasons to Oklahoma and assistant coach Tim Eatman came in for two years to fill in for the position in In that coaching shuffle — both coaches currently work for Kansas — it seemed that something didn't click, and the team was left with a gaggle of role players — not stars — to run the program last season. "Recruiting is like a hurricane," Vopel said. "You miss one year, and the talent doesn't come in. Two bad years and you're in trouble." Not that those years were awful, as the 1997 and 1998 recruiting classes were both ranked among the nation's top 10. The Glow of the Spotlight With that trouble came more media attention than Washington had gotten in her three decades at Kansas. She hadn't received more when her team was ranked No. 6 or when she coached the Olympic team. games, we never heard anything. But the minute that she has a couple bad years, everybody that wants to say something but couldn't because we were winning, now they get a chance to say something." And in the glare of the spotlight Washington had felt that her 30 years of successes had some how slipped under the radar. The program she had once kept afloat by walking Mt. Oread posting tryout fliers had become the target of a hailstorm of negativity. What's worse, is with Kansas' paltry attendance figures — a generous 1,808 fans per game, as opposed to its opponents' average of 5,364 — Washington believed that her criticizers had never even seen her team play. It came from all directions fans, colleagues and the media. "I would challenge that most of those people probably did not come out to our games and probably never gave us much credit for all of the success we've had," Washington said. "All people want are W's, that's just the way it is," DeCosta said. "The thing is, as long as coach is winning 20-some Amid the media atmosphere after last season, the team's media guide, which was supposed to celebrate Washington's 30th anniversary with the school, seemed more to be a cut-and-dry reminder of Washington's winning past. A reminder to those who cover the team that she's been with the team longer than some of the regular reporters have been alive. The cover is emblazoned with Washington surrounded by the Kansas players with recognizable faces — Woodard, Dixon, Pride—and the five of the team's seven conference championship trophies. It runs down her accomplishments in list fashion, seemingly demanding respect for Washington's long career. Other Relics Washington isn't the only active coach that has managed to run a program at the same institution for a considerable amount of time. There are three other current Division I coaches that have been at their institution for 27 years or longer — Mike Granelli of St. Peter's, Kay Yow of North Carolina State and Pat Summitt at Tennessee. Also Chris Weller, who retired from coaching after last season, spent 27 years at Maryland. All of the coaches have had their share of successes over the years, but only Summitt's career has been truly extraordinary. She has an 816-162 record (.806) and has six NCAA titles, 16 All-Americans and has never had a losing season. But Washington measures her success in other categories than team victories. Washington believes that she and her players are winners in life outside of basketball. She prides herself on not only being a coach but a mother figure to her players. She checks up on them, keeps in touch and lets them know that as long as they still get their degrees, they are winners, even if they have a losing record. "I think that we have a Coaches with more than 37 seasons at one school Coaches with more than 27 seasons at one school: 1. Mike Granolli, St. Peter's (31st season) ■ Record 592-234 ■ Three losing seasons ■ Six NCAA Tournaments ■ No available information for All-Americans 2. Marian Washington, Kansas (30th season) ■ Record 550-346 ■ Eight losing seasons ■ 11 NCAA Tournaments ■ Four All-Americans 3. Pat Summitt, Tennessee (29th season) ■ Record 816-162 ■ Zero losing seasons ■ 20 NCAA Tournaments (six-time champion) ■ 16 All-Americans 4. Kay Yow, North Carolina State (28th season) ■ Record 579-266 ■ Two losing seasons ■ 16 NCAA Tournaments ■ 12 All-Americans 5. Chris Weller, Maryland (27 seasons – retired after last season) ■ Record 499-286 ■ Five losing seasons ■ 12 NCAA Tournaments ■ Four All-Americans greater responsibility as college coaches," Washington said. "I think, sure, we're all wanting to win, we're paid because of whatever success we achieve, but part of that success is not just the number of wins you have. Part of it is to help this university in developing future contributing citizens. And I don't feel that I have any less of a role in that. I can impact in a different way, maybe. I really believe that it's also part of my responsibility." Woodard, Kansas' most famous and awarded player, said that above all of Washington's accomplishments it's her ability to inspire that has kept her going so long. "She had a vision of things that I dream about, she was a visionary." Woodard said. "And at the time she was doing it too, at that time I think she was still playing internationally — things I had never heard of, playing in the Championships. She had done it—she was my inspiration." Now, going into what could be the team's final game of the season — a duel against Iowa State at the Big 12 Tournament at noon today in Dallas — Washington only hopes that her tenure at Kansas won't expire before she gets to inspire even more. — Kevin Flaherty contributed to this story.

Larry Martin, paleontologist and curator for the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center at the University of Kansas, will speak about the fossil at Sigma Xi Day at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. Sigma Xi is an international, invitation-only scientific institution. His lecture, "The four-winged wonder and other feathered dinosaurs," is free and open to the public. public. The fossil, discovered in China last year but not announced publicly until January 2003, are from a bird with two sets of wings — one set in the front and another in the back. the back. "This is probably the most significant discovery made in fossil bird evolution in the last 100 years," Martin said. "It's the greatest thing since sliced bread." The new animal, Cryptovolans, differs from other birds because its hind legs functioned as a second set of wings. "Ive only had a glance," said Wakefield Dorr Jn., president of the KU chapter of Sigma Xi. "But it's world-shaking information." Martin said that this discovery was the best evidence to support a radical theory made by Gregory Paul, a Maryland paleontologist and author. His theory says that maniraptorians, a group of "supposed" dinosaurs long thought to be ancestors of birds, are instead flightless birds derived from an animal similar to the oldest bird. "This absolutely lays to rest the theory that flight evolved from the ground up," Martin said. "It also supports the idea that they went through a stage of evolution we never thought of." Martin said interested students should attend because it will be an opportunity to hear about the hottest controversy in the bird evolution world from the people most involved. The evening will include a reception for 18 new Sigma Xi members and an awards ceremony for scientific research presentations. Three students will divide $1,500 in prizes for oral presentations in a students only research competition.

Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Jayhawks show class win or lose As many strides as the Kansas women's basketball team has taken this season following last year's winless conference record, the team has still shown growing pains on the court. Today, the Jayhawks head into the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament as an underdog, facing the Iowa State Cyclones. Iowa State has defeated Kansas twice this season, most recently Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse. Whether the Jayhawks' season ends today or lives to see another game, the team has still left a huge impression off the court that can do nothing but make the University of Kansas proud. You can say it starts at the top, with coach Marian Washington and her staff. Washington always makes sure that her athletes emphasize the most important part of the term "student- athlete." "Academics is number one, that's just the bottom line." Washington said. "If they're not doing what they need to do in the classroom, they don't travel, they don't practice, and we've lost some players because of that. It's always been first and foremost and that will never change as long as I'm here." The importance of academics showed its dividends last week, when four members of the team were named to academic all-conference teams. Junior guard Leila Menüc, sophomore forward Valerie Migicovsky and sophomore guard Blair Waltz were named to the All-Big 12 first team. while sophomore guard Brandi McGinest was named to the second team. Even that number of players is misleading, since freshman and transfer student-athletes are not eligible in their first year. That rule meant that nine team members could not be recognized for their academic achievements. Washington said that had they been eligible, the team would have had six or seven members to the all-conference teams. The best part of the team's off-court contributions is that academic success is just the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, Washington's teams have made a yearly trip to Lawrence Memorial Hospital during Christmas time to visit children who are not able to spend their holidays at home with family. Also, in August, members of the team took part in a project called "Women Build," working with the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity. The project involved helping build a home for a local family. "It's important that when they leave out of here that they're good people and that they have a purpose in this life and that is not a selfish one," Washington said. "We should be all out there trying to support each other, and any time that I can give them that experience, I think it's very important." While their 10-17 record did not draw 16,000 fans to Allen Fieldhouse every game, the players' interactions with the fans who do come, even after a tough loss, keep their loyal following coming back for more. A perfect example of this welcoming attitude came in the form of an e-mail delivered to coach Washington and her staff last week from a family in Fort Scott. SEE GREENE ON PAGE 6A 'Hawks take on Cyclones By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswinter For nine members of the Kansas women's basketball team, today's date with Iowa State will mark another first Big 12 postseason play. - Big 12 postseason play. The Jayhawks (10-17 overall, 3-13 Big 12 Conference) will head into this year's Big 12 Tournament in Dallas as an underdog against the Cyclones (12-15, 7-9). Iowa State swept the regular season series and looks to pull off one of college basketball's toughest feats at noon today - beating one team three times in a season. On a team with so much youth, leadership has been a constant concern. Junior guard Leila Menguc and sophomore guard Blair Waltz have stepped up as leaders on the floor, but coach Marian Washington still wants more. "Who do we have right now as a leader? We really don't have anyone, with the exception of maybe Leila," Washington said. "They have to work through all of this themselves." In the first meeting this season, the Cyclones pulled out a 72-70 victory at home on Jan.11 in Ames, Iowa. The regular season sweep was completed last Wednesday, 69-44 in Allen Fieldhouse. Defending and preventing the threepoint shot has been the thorn in Kansas' side all season, and the two meetings with Iowa State have been no exception. In each of the two games, the Cyclones hit 11 three-point shots. The biggest positive for Kansas down the stretch of the regular season was freshman forward Tamara Ransburg staying out of foul trouble. Rans- KANSAS VS.IOWA STATE KANSAS(10-17) PNo. Player Ht. Yr.

The Jayhawks look to get their young players some valuable postseason experience today and snap a fourgame losing streak. The team's last victory came at Nebraska on Feb. 19. Waltz said that it was tough to beat a team three times in one season, but Kansas could have a definite mental advantage by today's opening tip because of its familiarity with Iowa State. "It is a good thing," Waltz said. "If there isn't fire in our blood already, then it will definitely be there by game time."

File Photo/Kansan Player works through injury By Shane Mettlen smettlen@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter Life was good for Erica Hallman when she arrived at the University of Kansas in the fall. The Covington, Ky., native was where she wanted to be and was eager to begin her freshman season as a Kansas women's basketball player. Leaving the Blue Grass State for the golden plains of Kansas wasn't an easy decision for Hallman. The Louisville Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcats worked hard to persuade the Commonwealth's 2002 Miss Basketball to stay closer to home, but for Hallman the opportunity to help rebuild the Jayhawk program was impossible to pass up. "I always told myself that I wanted to go somewhere that, if the first day I Hallman managed to stay healthy her first day at Kansas, but it wasn't long before the 5-foot-8 guard was sidelined with an injured right knee. went I got hurt, those were still the type of people I wanted to be around," Hallman said. "That's how coach Washington is." Hallman missed more than a month of practice and both the Jayhawks' preseason exhibitions. She managed to return to action in the regular season opener, scoring 9 points in 21 minutes while wearing a heavy knee brace. Despite the recovery, Hallman found herself in an unfamiliar position coming off the bench. That proved to be a somewhat difficult assignment for the former high school star to adjust to.

The University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky both tried to recruit Hallman, but the opportunity at Kansas was impossible to pass. Jayhawks face ranked Razorbacks today 8 Junior outfieldier Matt Trible will try to extend his 20-game hitting streak against Arkansas at 4p.m. today in Fayetteville, Ark. Jared Soarea/Kansan By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter After a three game sweep of the Western Michigan Broncos, the Kansas baseball team is looking to continue its hot play when it faces the University of Arkansas at 4 p.m. today in Fayetteville, Ark. Arkansas is 13-1 and won two of three games against Kansas State. Last year, they fell one game short of the College World Series. The Razorbacks are coached by Dave Van Horn who left the University of Nebraska last year after leading the Huskers to two straight College World Series. "This game is a really good opportunity for our team," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "Arkansas is a solid team, who will present a challenge for us. They also have one of the top facilities in the country." Junior Ryan Knippschild is scheduled to start for the Jayhawks after pitching a complete game against Western Michigan. Knippschild is 4-0 on the season with an ERA of 2.67. Arkansas is led by Brady Toops, batting .421 with 14 RBI. Pitcher Charley Boyce has a 1.25 ERA. Junior Matt Tribble will try to extend his current hit streak of 20 games, a new Kansas record. Tribble is batting .427 and has started all of the Jayhawks' 20 games Hayes, who patrols centerfield for the Jayhawks, is batting, 333 and leads the team with eight stolen bases. The Jayhawks have solid outfield contributions from Tribble, senior Casey Spanish and senior Lance Hayes. Spanish is batting .452 and leads the team in RBIs with 21 and runs scored with 22. "Lance is as good as a centerfielder as I have coached," Price said. "He does a great job using his small game skills to get on base and he is solid defensively." Price also said that Tribble was a special player and that all his hits had been solid base hits. "If you watched all 20 of our games, there was not one when he got a cheap hit." Another reason Price said his team had been so successful is the outfield's consistency and maturity. "On every successful team you need junior and senior leaders," Price said. "All three of those guys are in my lineup every day and are so hungry to win. Their maturity and desire has allowed us to change this program a little bit and be more successful."

Kansas coach Roy Williams on possible locations the Jayhawks will play opening round games in the NCAA tournament Inside Sports 2B • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS COMMENTARY TUESDAY,MARCH 11,2003 Joey Berlin jberlin@kansan.com 'Miracle'shot against Tigers will linger in memories So now we all know what it takes for Aaron Miles to become a dominant long-range shooter. He has to be off-balance, 25 feet from the basket and with no other options than heaving the ball at the rim over one shoulder. over one shoulder. Miles' ridiculous three-pointer that pulled the Kansas men's basketball team even with Missouri late in Sunday's game was more than just a lucky shot from a 27 percent three-point shooter. Even though it was Kirk Hinrich's three-point shot one minute later that clinched a 79-74 victory and sole possession of the Big 12 title for Kansas, Miles' shot was the play to remember. Not just this week, but forever. Sure, Jayhawk fans have seen a few minor miracles here and there. Some of them have even happened this year. For example, on Dec. 14, Moulaye Niang hit a free throw. But in terms of major miracles, the cupboard is pretty bare. I'm not a religious person, but Miles' shot was a miracle. In fact, it ranks among the biggest miracles in Kansas basketball history. Kansas basketball hasn't had many miracles, or improbable, unforgettable events that have changed the history of the program. The 1986 Midwest regional semifinal game against Michigan State — when the clock froze late in the game just long enough for the Jayhawks to tie it in regulation — probably qualifies. Kansas won the game in overtime and later advanced to the Final Four. The 1987-88 team's run to the NCAA title with Danny Manning and a cast of future gym teachers qualifies. That team still owns the record for the most losses during the season — 11 — by an NCAA Tournament winner. Even if you dig deep into the record books, you won't find many others. There haven't been many buzzer-beating shots, controversial calls or obscure rules invoked at crucial points that swing a game or a season. Watching your favorite team regularly blowing out opposing teams is good fun. But the occasional heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, pants-wetting miracle gives you another level of enjoyment and a reminder that anything can happen. On Sunday, Aaron Miles, or possibly some other force we can't see, gave us one of those. I'll never forget it. Berlin is a Leawood senior in journalism. JAYHAWKS IN THE PROS By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter With the NBA regular season in full swing, each week the Kansan will bring updates on all of your favorite former Jayhawks. If there are any former Jayhawks whom we haven't included, email requests to rgreene@kansan.com. Because of the amount of responses, we will run two updates per week. Paul Pierce - Boston Celtics Boston College After slipping on some ice and hurting his back in a New England winter storm, Pierce sat for two games. He returned March 3 to post 31 points and 11 rebounds in a 111-110 victory against Memphis. Pierce scored 24 points in a victory against the Knicks two nights later but sat out of Friday's contest against the Lakers because his back was hurting again. Pierce returned again in Sunday's loss to San Antonio, scoring only 10 points. Drew Gooden - Orlando Magic Orlando Mets Another week goes by and Gooden continues to resurrect his rookie season following the trade from Memphis. Gooden had his best game with Orlando in Wednesday's victory against Milwaukee, with 26 points and 16 rebounds. Gooden's 9 points Sunday marked the first game he has played with Orlando in which he did not score in double figures. The Magic are 7-2 since trading Mike Miller and Ryan Humphrey to Memphis for Gordan Giricek and Gooden. Ozende MUSIC Jacque Vaughn - Orlando Magic Vaughn had his same old steady week as he remains Orlando's starting point guard. His biggest highlight this week was scoring 10 points in Friday's 111-102 loss to the Knicks. It marked the 12th time Vaughn has scored in double figures this season. MONTREALS RaefLaFrentz - Dallas Mavericks LaFrentz is not seeing the minutes that Dallas envisioned for him this season and his production has taken a dive. In three games this week, LaFrentz scored in double figures only once. That once was his 10 points in Friday's 91-89 victory at Miami. KINGS JAZZ Ostertag is still having trouble consistently contributing on offense, but back-to-back 8 point games this week were well above average for Greq Ostertag - Utah Jazz him. Ostertag's big game this week happened when he scored 8 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in Friday's 108-105 loss to Sacramento. Pollard is working his way back from numerous injuries this year. Pollard scored 2 points in his first game back Scot Pollard - Sacramento Kings March 3 in a victory against Philadelphia Then Pollard sat two games, and returned to go scoreless Sunday against Indianapolis. Danny Manning - Detroit Pistons - Did not play (Coach's Decision) READER REQUESTS Rex Walters - Kansas Guard 1991-1993 After helping lead the Jayhawks to the Final Four in 1993, Rex was a first-round pick by the New Jersey Nets. In seven NBA seasons, Walters amassed 1,547 points and 569 assists while playing with New Jersey, Miami and Philadelphia. He recorded a career-high 27 points in 1997 in a game against Boston. In his NBA career, Walters started 67 games. He has played with the Kansas City Knights of the American Basketball Association, where he averaged 14.5 points per game last season. Walters is now pursuing a new career, either in radio or in coaching. He is an assistant coach at Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park. Ryan Robertson, Kansas Guard, 1996-1999 Robertson ranks 37th on the Kansas all-time scoring list with 1,055 points in his four seasons as a Jayhawk. After graduation, the Sacramento Kings selected Robertson in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft. In his rookie season, Robertson played a total of only 25 minutes for the Kings and in 2000 landed with the Kansas City Knights of the ABA. After only one season, Robertson went overseas and is now playing basketball professionally in Holland. against Nebraska's defense or K-State's defense. They'd get their ass kicked.

Arizona and Kentucky were one and two in The Associated Press men's rankings for the fourth straight week yesterday, but the gap narrowed with one more poll remaining this season. Arizona (25-2), the regular season champions of the Pac-10 Conference, received 51 firstplace votes and 1,779 points from the national media panel. Kentucky (26-3), which finished unbeaten in winning the Southeastern Conference, was No. 1 on 21 ballots and had 1,749 points. Last week, Arizona led the first-place vote count 59-13. Duke dropped from No. 10 to No. 12; the first time the Blue Devils have been out of the Top 10 since Dec. 13, 1999. They were in the Top 10 for 68 consecutive polls and were No. 1 in 22 of those, including two this season. Texas, which ended Oklahoma's 37-game home winning streak Saturday, moved up one place to third. Kansas and Pittsburgh improved two places to fourth and fifth, respectively. Oklahoma dropped from fifth to sixth and was followed by Florida, which fell from third to No. 7 after losses to Georgia and Kentucky last week. The loss to Kentucky snapped the Gators' 19-game home winning streak and extended the Wildcats' national-best winning streak to 20 games. Marquette, Wake Forest and Xavier rounded out the Top 10. Syracuse was No.11 followed by Duke, Illinois, Maryland, Stanford, Memphis, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Creighton and Louisville. Completing the Top 25 were Georgia, Dayton, Oklahoma State, California and Saint Joseph's. These are the highest rankings for Wake Forest and Syracuse this season. Wake Forest won the Atlantic Coast Conference outright for the first time since 1962, and Syracuse ended a perfect home season with a win Sunday over Rutgers.

Mississippi State (19-8) fell out of the poll from 23rd, the first time this season the Bulldogs have not been ranked. They have lost three of their last five games but beat Auburn 67-45 Saturday to clinch the SEC West Division. The final poll of the season will be released next Monday. Coach suspended for possible fraud The Associated Press ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia suspended coach Jim Harrick with pay and withdrew from the SEC and NCAA tournaments yesterday after an internal investigation showed three players took a phony class taught by an assistant. Harrick's future is unclear while the school and NCAA look into allegations brought two weeks ago by a former player. "The evidence and the findings presented to us indicated there was academic fraud," athletic director Vince Dooley said. "There's no evidence at all that Coach Harrick knew about what took place." Georgia, ranked 21st in yesterday's AP Top 25, was a lock to receive a third straight invitation to the NCAA tourney, which would have been the longest such streak in school history. The Bulldogs (19-8, 11-5 Southeastern Conference) were to play Arkansas on Thursday in the league tournament in New Orleans. The news caps a recent spate of scandals in men's college basketball, including: suspensions of 12 players for using a school access code to make phone calls at Villamova, forfeits of six wins and boycotts of two other games at St. Bonaventure and claims by a former student that he wrote papers for players for payment at Fresno State. At Georgia, Tony Cole kicked off the team last year accused Harrick and his son, an assistant coach. of breaking NCAA rules. Cole said Jim Harrick Jr. paid his bills, did schoolwork and taught a sham class on coaching, Harrick Jr. was fired Wednesday. Cole said he neverattended the class, but received an A. Two other players - starters Chris G Daniels and Rashad Wright were also in the class. Dooley said Daniels and Wright were declared ineligible. Dooley said he and school president Michael Adams decided to drop out of the postseason because of the academic fraud. Even if the team played, it would have been difficult to win any games without Wright and Daniels, since the team usually uses only seven players. Harrick Sr. has three seasons left on a $700,000 per year contract at Georgia. His career has been one of success on the court and trouble off it. He is one of only three coaches — Eddie Sutton and Lefty Driesell are the others — to take four schools to the NCAA tournament. Hurrick has a 470-235 record in 23 seasons as a college head coach, and led UCLA to the 1995 national championship. But this is the second time Harrick has been disciplined because of ethical lapses. He was fired by UCLA in 1996 for lying about an expense report. Harrick then went to Rhode Island and took that school to the regional finals of the 1998 NCAA tournament. And he also has been accused of improprieties during his two years there. A former secretary there says Harrick had grades changed for players, had student managers write papers for players and arranged for players to receive lodging, cars and money from boosters. Last week, Harrick defiantly defended himself against those who would portray him as a rule-breaker. "I've never had a violation," Harrisck said then. "Go ask the NCAA."

Knight gives up salary not happy with team The Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas — Bob Knight won't accept his $250,000 salary for coaching Texas Tech this year because neither he nor his team met his expectations. "He has standards," Texas Tech men's basketball representative Randy Farley said yesterday. "He just didn't meet his standards, and so he said. I don't think I should be paid for that." Texas Tech (16-10, 6-10 Big 12) is the No. 7 seed in the Big 12 Conference tournament in Dallas and plays Baylor on Thursday night. Knight was not available for comment late yesterday,but he told the Dallas Morning News that he was taking the blame. "I'm just not at all satisfied with what transpired with our team in terms of our fundamental execution. I don't think it's anybody's fault but mine," Knight told the newspaper for its online edition. "You heard me talk after games all season long about missed opportunities and how we didn't see things (on the court). Those are things that have got to be taught. Learning those things is just as much a responsibility of the teacher as the ones learning those things," he was quoted as saying. This year could be Knight's first without 20 victories since 1995, when Indiana went 19-12. Texas Tech will probably need to win the conference tournament to make the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. Knight has said his team would accept an NIT Tournament bid if offered. His five-year contract is worth $4.5 million. He makes $250,000 in base pay, $150,000 in deferred annual income and $500,000 in guaranteed outside income each year through May 2006.

Want to be heard? kansan.com/forum = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY SPORTS TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2002 Big 12 women's basketball tourney analysis The Big 12 Conference women's basketball tournament gets under way today in Dallas The University Daily Kansan gives you a look at each team and its chance to win the tourney title. Kansas (10-17,3-13) Who to watch: Freshman posts pl ayer Tamara Ransburg is then KU team's leading scorer and rebounder at 10.9 points per game and 7.9 rebounds a contest. Odds of a Jayhawk championship: Slim. Kansas improved on lastyear's winless conference campaign but struggled to close out the regular season with three straight blowout losses. Texas (22-5, 15-1) Who to watch: Stacy Stephens and Heather Schreiber were both named first team All-Big 12. Odds of a Longhorn championship: Great, Texas won the conference's regular season crown and are led by the Big 12's Coach of the Year Jody Conradt. Kansas State (27-3,14-2) Who to watch: Nicole Ohlde C leads the Wildcats and the Big 12 in scoring at 19.3 points per game. Odds of a Wildcat championship: Good. Sophomore sharpshooter, Laurie Koehn, has recovered from an injury and adds an outside threat to go along with players Ohlde Texas Tech (24-4, 13-3) Who to w a t e h : Plenette Pierson is a versatile inside- F outside threat who averages 17.7 points per game. Odds of a Lady Raider championship: Good. Texas Tech boasts the conference's second most potent offense and third stingiest defense. The Lady Raiders will also enjoy plenty of fan support in Dallas. Colorado (21-6, 11-5) Who to watch: Center Tera gJj Bjorklund averages 17 points per game and causes match up problems for team onponents underneath Odds of a Buffalo championship: Fair. Colorado is deadly behind the arc. Kate Fagan has hit more three pointers than anyone else in the conference and Sabrina Scott is tops in three-point percentage.

Greene CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B The family came out to their first Kansas women's basketball game and was amazed by players' attitude toward fans. Even after a tough 61-55 loss to Missouri, the players still had conversations and signed autographs for the kids waiting outside the locker room. Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg even put the family's 8-year old son on her back and ran up and down the hallway with him. It is responses like these, among other things, that give Kansas athletics the great reputation it has, and the women's basketball program is a shining example. After a gut-wrenching loss to a bitter rival, the players could have very easily walked into the locker rooms hanging their heads, but they realized they have a reputation to uphold. Even if the Jayhawks lose today against Iowa State, the pain of a loss will subside rather quickly. Marian Washington's players will never go on to have multi-million dollar contracts or big shoe endorsement deals after college. They will leave the University with something more valuable—an understanding of what life is all about.

"I got to earn everything — nothing's going to be handed to me." Washington said that despite the tribulations Hallman has seen this season, her attitude had remained a positive influence for the rest of the girls on the team. I've never seen her or heard her complain at all." Washington said. "It think she understands that everyone has a role." 113 The role Hallman plays for the Jayhawks has been crucial to their success this season. KANSAS 23 CourtneyKuhlen/Kansan She has emerged as the team's fourth-leading scorer this season at 8.3 points per game and has logged more than 30 minutes in six contests this season. At times, Hallman has shown flashes of brilliance on the court. Dazzling fans with no-look passes and surprising them with long range jump shots. Freshman guard Erica Hallman said she was happy to play at KU since she arrived last fall. "I always told myself that I wanted to be somewhere that, if the first day I went I got hurt, those were still the type of people I wanted to be around," said Hallman. "That's how coach Washington is." Washington said Hallman's ability to play both guard positions made her a valuable asset to the rest of the team off the bench. She's a good shooter for us, and so she can play the two position. and she can help us at the point guard spot,"Washington said. Despite overcoming obstacles and managing a productive freshman season, Hallman, who will have knee surgery after spring break, said she wouldn't be satisfied unless she could help the basketball team improve on this year's 10-17 regular season record. She said there have been a lot of games she thought the team should have won. "This off season I'm going to have to work hard to get healthy," Hallman said. "As a team, we need to build some chemistry over the summer." — Edited by Melissa Hermreck The Richmond native, who starred at Virginia during the Ralph Sampson era and spent 13 seasons as an assistant before taking over in Blacksburg in 1999, lasted through only four seasons of a five-year contract. In that time, the Hokies showed too many signs of inconsistency and lack of focus on the court, and too few signs of turning the corner. Weaver said Stokes was being released from his contract and that the final year of the deal would be bought out. To qualify for the tournament at Madison Square Garden, the Hokies needed only to avoid finishing last in the Big East's East Division. The season forced Weaver to make the move, even after pledging before it began that Stokes would be back for the final year of his contract. By midseason, Weaver was showing signs the end was coming as he pledged only to "honor" the final year. "This is a very difficult decision for me, personally, as I have the highest regard for Ricky as a person," athletic director Jim Weaver said. Then, with one last chance to qualify by beating rival West Virginia in Morgantown in the regular season finale three days later, the Hokies scored only four of the final 23 points and were beaten 71-67. "We appreciate all the hard work Ricky has put into his position and wish him the best in the future."

Now he's trying to raise awareness in order to fund that new MRC. Ng spent $738 of the senate advertising budget on a full-page ad in The University Daily Kansan last Wednesday to show the student body "what the hell has Student Senate done for me?" The ad answered with a new Multicultural Resource Center. Ng is trying to get the rest of Student Senate officially behind him at tonight's Senate meeting by passing a resolution stating that Senate would supplement private donations with student fees for the immediate construction of the $2.75 million MRC. In January, university administrators and officials approved Ng's MRC proposal. All that's needed now is a donor. "The MRC is something that contributes directly to the mission of the University," Ng said. "It's a facility to help all graduates become more culturally versatile, so that they can become more competitive in the job market." The original MRC resolution was revised in committee last week so that Senate would not have to match a donor's funds halfway. Instead, the resolution states that Senate will supplement, not match, funds. Karen Keith, Multicultural Affairs committee co-chairwoman, said she was worried that if the Senate and the student body offered to match funds halfway, then a donor might not have the motivation to pay the full $2.75 million. Keith wants the donors to give as much and students to pay as little as possible. With the new changes, Keith said she supported the resolution. "It's much better to have everyone excited and happy about it, so it can have that much more momentum," she said. The resolution shows that students are behind it, which tells a donor that it's not a controversial topic, said Kevin Corbett, senior vice president of development at the Kansas University Endowment Association. "I think the attention and obvious interest is just outstanding," Corbett said. more effective if it clearly stated that Senate would match funds halfway. But the new, vague wording shows commitment without being binding. Keith said. Corbett said the resolution would be —Edited by Leah Shaffer With or without the MRC resolution, the Endowment Association is compiling a list of potential donors to identify who might be interested in the project. Corbett said the Endowment Association was in its eighth year of a 10-year campaign to hit donors for $1 million or more. With two years left, the donor list is getting smaller. Students prepare for spring break By Nikki Overfelt overfelt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The spring break clock is ticking, and students are racing to prepare for trips. Whether they're migrating to some place warmer, going on a road trip or traveling to a big city, students are preparing to insure their trips are enjoyable and successful. Three to four weeks before spring break, the lifeguards at the pool in Robinson Center saw an increased number of students, said Dianna Waller, Topeka junior and lifeguard at Robinson. "They come in and get themselves in shape so then they'll look good in their swimsuits," she said. Maggie Groner, Chicago freshman, is going to the Florida Keys with friends for spring break. She said she had been working out more in preparation for the trip. The lifeguards see the biggest increase after the first of the year when people set New Year's resolutions. Then the numbers drop off and rise again a few weeks before spring break, Waller said. Students going someplace warmer also have to think about time in the sun. For the past three weeks, Lindsy Alleman, Leawood senior, has been going tanning to get ready for her trip to Miami and then a cruise. "I have to go tanning or otherwise I'm going to fry," she said. Road trips are another popular option for students wanting to get away for spring break. Kristin Ashby, Leawood freshman, is driving to Virginia with friends for the break. Her friend, whose car they are taking, is getting it tuned up before they leave, she said. They are also packing other items to make the ride more enjoyable. "We bought road food and burned a bunch of CDs," she said. Matt McGuire, Lawrence senior, is flying to New York with friends during the break. In order to get ready, he's been researching the different methods of transportation. Traveling in New York is not a concern for him, he said. "A couple of us have traveled in Europe, so we are aware of the safety issues of traveling in big cities," he said. Watkins Memorial Health Center is helping students prepare for these trips. Since last Thursday, Student Health Services has been sponsoring events to give students travel tips. "We want to give students some information to keep them safe while they are away from KU,"said Melissa Smith, public health educator for Student Health Services. Safe alcohol consumption, sexually transmitted diseases, international travel and skin care while in the sun are some of the topics addressed by Watkins, Smith said. Giving students tips on how to keep both their bodies and personal belongings safe while traveling is the goal, she said. SEE SPRING ON PAGE 7A Bike 'em'Hawks Senate to debate yellow bike bill Todd Hippestoe/Kansas By Cate Batchelder cbatchelder@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Your Elected Leaders Lending Out Wheels is a new club trying to live up to its name. Y. E.L.L.O.W., a group made mostly of senators, will present a bill to fund a $6.945 trial yellow bike program at tonight's Student Senate meeting. Past elected leaders tried to get the bicycle-sharing program off the ground in 1984 and 1997 but failed. "The problem is there are so many logistics, especially when dealing with a campus like KU." said Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator from 1999 to 2001. Bicycles left at the bottom of hills, liability issues, theft and maintenance were concerns Krebs remembers when she was an undergraduate student during the 1997 trial. Senators addressed the same concerns and cited new ones such as set-up fees, helmet safety and nonexistent bike lanes. After the bill's run-around in committees and full Senate, Y.E.L.L.O.W. will bring its bill back with those questions answered, said Tim Akright, club member and transportation coordinator. "I think that Student Senate needs to open its eyes and take a chance on a remodeled, revamped yellow bike program," Akright said. In the trial program, 90 randomly chosen student applicants would pay $10 and sign a waiver to participate. They would have the freedom to ride the 30 yellow 12-speed bikes bought for $59.99 by Y.E.L.L.O.W., around campus but not beyond. Sunflower Bike Shop would maintain the bikes. Each student would have a universal key to unlock and re-lock the $49.99 Kryptonite locks. The locks are a new feature from 1997's version. Using locks, fees and a waiver will deter theft, said Jeff Dunlap, Y.E.L.L.O.W. club member and Nunemaker senator.

The museum has approximately 600 type specimens, which ranks with the collections at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Kelley Weiss/Kansan By Kolley Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas boasts worldrenowned collections in its museums all of which could be lost if the United States goes to war with Iraq. Linda Trueb, senior curator of the University's Natural History Museum and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said the museum had a collection of 600 herpetological, or amphibian and reptile type specimens that rivaled the Smithsonian Institution and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Type specimens are new additions to the species. They have not been defined and are the first specimen to be found, which makes them rare and valuable. For example, while doing fieldwork in South America, Trueb found a frog that had never been identified. She then named it and published the information and this made it a type specimen. Trueb said the Spencer Research Library had one of the world's best collections of rare natural history documents. The bee collection in Snow Hall is one of the most comprehensive in the world, Truth said. All of these rare collections could be lost without people having realized they were even here, Trueb said. Joseph Lampo, assistant to the director of the Spencer Museum of Art, said the possibility of terrorist attacks destroving Trueb said a similar situation happened during World War II, when the Munich Natural History Museum moved its entire herpetological collection to a farmhouse outside of Munich to protect it from bombings. Unfortunately the basement of the farm house was not enough to preserve the one-of-a-kind type specimens when a pilot leaving Munich decided to drop a bomb on the outskirts of the city. "People here need to realize that there are resources here that are irreplaceable," she said. "We just have to recognize that we have something that valuable in our backyard." or damaging works on loan was unlikely, but, if a war were to start, the museum would be selective in where its works were loaned internationally. For example, a Manet painting from the museum that is on loan in Treviso, Italy, is not in danger. Lampo said. The oil-sketch, "Portrait of Lise Campineanu," has been on exhibit since early November 2002, and Lampo said the exhibit had not experienced any problems. So far the collections are safe, but the University could reconsider how often it lends and receives art, specimens and other rare collections, Lampo said. Susan Earle, assistant professor of art history and curator of European and American art at the museum, said it did not usually loan large collections to international museums. "Clearly there will be terrorist attacks if we go to war." Earle said, "It is quite possible that museums and universities will be hit. If Bush forces us to go to war we might reconsider lending our exhibits." -Edited by Christy Dendurent 19 2A = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Inside Front WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 2003 News briefs STATE Men arrested in beating case transported to Douglas Countrv After being arrested in Greenwood County, two men were transported to Douglas County yesterday evening in connection with the beating of a man found in north Lawrence early Monday morning, according to a press release issued by the Lawrence Police Department. Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said the available information concerning the investigation would be used to determine booking charges for the two men. The victim of the beating was 21 year-old Josh Greemore of Mayetta. Greemore was found lying on the outskirts of Riverfront Park at about 6:30 a.m. Monday. He suffered both sharp and blunt trauma injuries to his upper torso and head. He is now listed in serious condition at a Kansas City-area hospital. Investigation of the beating led Lawrence police officers to the Jayhawk Motel, 1004 N. Third St., where Greemore was last seen. At the motel, Lawrence police officers discovered a vehicle had been stolen from the motel and initiated a search for a blue 1991 Geo Storm. Officers from the Greenwood County sheriff's office found the car later Monday afternoon with two men inside and pursued it. The vehicle stopped in Elk County and its occupants fled on foot into a wooded area. Greenwood County officers searched for the men for several hours but could not find them. Sheriff's deputies found the men walking back into Greenwood County yesterday morning at about 8 a.m. They were taken into custody for crimes related to the vehicle pursuit. Erin Ohm Legislator support uncertain for gambling provision TOPEKA — Despite a push from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, legislative leaders say chances are slim that any measures to expand gambling will be debated this session. Sebelius is expected to include a provision for additional gambling at Kansas racetracks in her proposals for covering a projected budget shortfall of nearly $1 billion. But Senate President Dave Kerr is uncertain there is much legislative support for legalizing more gambling, which he said would take revenue away from the Kansas Lottery and other types of entertainment. "I've never seen a state gamble its way to wealth," said Kerr, R-Hutchinson. "There's no real case to be made that this solves the state's problems. Certainly not on a timely basis." Testimony was scheduled Tuesday before the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee on bills allowing slot machines and other gambling devices at pari-mutuel tracks and lottery retail outlets, such as convenience stores. NATION Judge rules to release Sept.11 death certificates NEW YORK - Some long-sealed documents used in issuing death certificates for people missing in the World Trade Center attack should be released to the public, a Manhattan judge ruled Tuesday. Judge Eve Preminger of Manhattan Surrogate Court said that personal information and affidavits filed by victims' relatives should remain sealed. Preminger said she still was weighing whether to unseal the court files in about 50 cases where death certificates were rejected. Fraud is suspected in many of those cases. The eight-page ruling was the result of a motion filed by The Associated Press to release the documents. The AP argued that there was a compelling public interest in unsealing the documents to establish a historical record and to document cases of fraud. Because so many victims could not be identified, the state and city set up a special process shortly after the attack that allowed family members to obtain death certificates without their loved ones' remains. All court records related to proceedings had been sealed.

But "Candy Cane," as Hardaway is known to his music fans, is making his debut. Hardaway, Dallas sophomore began writing rap lyrics over winter break. Since then, he has completed seven tracks and has begun to market himself as a rapper in Lawrence. Hardaway said he had always been interested in the music scene. "I used to want to go to Nashville and become the next Kenny Chesney," Hardaway said. Country music obviously wasn't the right route for Hardaway to take. After he returned from winter break, Hardaway began spending time in the studio working on his first album. Hardaway's true passion is performing in front of a live audience. He occasionally performs at his fraternity house. One of Hardaway's fraternity brothers, Mike Yimer, sees the talent in Hardaway. "David's really outgoing and he's a good motivator," said Yimer, Lawrence sophomore. Although Hardaway's lyrics occasionally include swear words and drug references, he told his mom not to worry — the words just rhyme. Hardaway's mom, Laurie Evans, isn't too bothered by the swear words. "I try to look past it and look at what's being said, rather than how it's said," Evans said. Although Hardaway is a psychology major, he's not planning on obtaining a job in the psychology field. "In ten years, I want to be the front man for the largest-growing entertainment company," Hardaway said.

Community prepares to face severe weather ByErin Ohm eohm@kansan.com Kansan staff writer At noon yesterday, wailing tornado sirens announced the beginning of the severe weather season in the Midwest. To prepare for severe weather, Douglas County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service of Topeka will sponsor two free severe weather sessions that are open to the public. The first program will be held in Lawrence from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Building 21. A second program will be offered April 9 in Baldwin City. Paula Phillips, director of Emergency Management, said the greatest probability of severe weather for northeast Kansas occurred between April and June, but was more frequent in April and May. Phillips said both programs would be conducted by meteorologists from the National Weather Service. Meteorologists will present slides and videos and discuss severe weather safety. They will provide information on how severe weather develops,how a storm can turn into a tornado and what elements of a storm classify it as severe. Teri Guenther, associate director of Emergency Management, said the program was an annual event that attracted about 200 people. "We sponsor it so that people know what can happen and what actions to take," she said. "So people can plan and prepare." Phillips said the National Weather Service sometimes used the programs to recruit stationary storm spotters who would call in to the service with information from their location. Lawrence commission approves plans for new Wal-Mart Edited by Julie Jantzer Students, city react to proposed store By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A new Wal-Mart could be coming to Lawrence and students have mixed reactions to the idea of a new supercenter. On March 5. the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission approved the rezoning and plans for a Wal-Mart Super- center on Sixth and Wakarusa streets. But that doesn't guarantee a spot for the discount retail chain in Lawrence. The planning commission is merely advisory — it does not have the final word. The commission's recommendation will be under consideration at the City Commission meeting March 26, said Linda Finger, director of planning for Lawrence. The advisory body recommends approval or disapproval for proposed layout and buildings, Fingersaid. The planning commission recommended that Wal-Mart wait until the state and city widen and improve Sixth Street between Champion Lane and Congressional Drive. Those improvements aren't expected until 2006, and Wal-Mart officials said they could be ready to open by October 2004. Heidi Fischer, Hutchinson senior, said she didn't like the idea of having another chain store in Lawrence. "It will take business away from downtown," she said. Fischer said the new WalMart would be more convenient for people who lived in that area, but she would only go there if necessary. "It's a genuine need," she said. "But I try to avoid Wal-Mart. I don't like the atmosphere of their stores." Not all students agree with Fischer. Ashley Robinson, Kansas City Kan., junior, said building a new Wal-Mart would not have an effect on the downtown businesses. "People go to Wal-Mart for different stuff than the downtown shops," she said. Robinson said that, although she doesn't like Wal-Mart, she would go there for some needs. "If I want clothes I'll go downtown, but if I want toothpaste I'll go to Wal-Mart," she said. Laurie Palchrr, Overland Park senior, also said the Wal-Mart would be more beneficial than harmful. "It's nice to have one closer to that side of town, it's such a pain to drive to the Iowa stores," she said. "Wal-Mart is different than the stores on Mass - those are more boutique and original stores." The approved plans are for a 150,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenter with a grocery store. It is a smaller version of a plan that was denied by the planning commission last October. That plan was for a 200,000 square foot building with a grocery store and car service center.

Smith, a woman's basketball player for Division III Manhattanville College, turns away from the American flag during the "Star-Spangled Banner" before each of her team's games. Critics think it's disrespectful not only to America, but to everyone who has died for the flag that represents our country. What Smith is doing is not stupid or treasonous. If anything, it's ironic that she turns her back on the symbol that represents her ability to turn her back at all. It certainly isn't wrong. We should be more supportive of people like Smith who have the guts to stand up for what they believe, especially if it's through peaceful protest. Smith said she could not, "in good conscience, salute the flag" because she believed the government was out to expand its own power rather than better the quality of life for its people. "It is my right as an American to stand for my beliefs the way others have done against me" she said. "Being patriotic cannot simply be an empty slogan." She said those who disagreed with her should recognize her right to act patriotically by making individual decisions. What's impressive is the way her school responded. Richard A. Berman, Manhattanville president, said that the college requested that views such as Smith's be expressed and received respectfully. "It is irrelevant whether I, or anyone else, agrees or disagrees with Ms. Smith's position," he said. "Her right of expression is fundamental and we support her." It's courageous that Smith still turns her back on the flag after enduring an entire basketball season of hecklers in the crowd and people protesting her. It's courageous that she still does it after getting into fights with her teammates and having people run onto the court waving flags in her face. Which is worse: a person who exercises the right to protest or a person who thinks that anyone who disagrees is a dirty anti-American? It's interesting that she plays for the Valiants, a word associated with courage. Smith's views and actions may be controversial, but even those who disagree need to recognize that she has the right to do it.

Sometimes, understanding and negotiating prevents countries from the atrocities of war. Once we try to be open-minded about a different culture,we will be able to understand why and how things should work. Joining international clubs is one useful tools to help understanding communities with different background. What are international clubs for? Actually, I am an officer of the Japanese Student Association. Through the club, I have made friends with whom I can share the same troubles and complaints about classes. More than that, these people could be good company to correspond with for a long time. While I was having a good time at the club's last event, one question hit me. Do only international students benefit from international clubs? Can Americans benefit as well? According to the University's Web site, more than just the Japanese Student Association exists. In addition, there are the International Student Association, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and others. Some unofficial or unregistered international clubs might exist. By looking at the names, these clubs seem to be exclusive. Students could easily assume that only students from the named countries are welcome. But for anyone, attending these club meetings could be a good opportunity to make friends who have diverse backgrounds. In addition to being a good opportunity, international clubs could be fine substitutes for studying a foreign language. Most KU students study or have studied a foreign language, and native speakers can help in the understanding of their languages. You do not have to be ashamed if you make grammatical mistakes. If I say to female teacher, "You are so hot chicks," she might hate me, even though I am trying to give her a compliment. For getting to know different cultures, including their languages, international clubs are worth reconsidering for all students, especially American students. This is because the majority of KU students are American. In fact, not many American students are participating in international clubs. I interviewed American students in Anschutz Library and asked if they had participated in international clubs. All of them were interested in those clubs. Their interest toward international clubs was to understand the other culture, to learn diversity at the University and to improve their foreign language skills. And most of them were used to or were taking foreign language classes. They also think international clubs could benefit them. Unfortunately, they have participated little in international clubs, even though they understand it could be a fine opportunity. Students thought no one pushed them to join different communities and did not give them enough information. Ben Doerr, a Swaziland, South Africa, sophomore in business, is a lucky person who got the opportunity. "I used to live in Africa and speak French," he said, "and my French class teacher introduced me to the French Table, where we can talk with native French people in French." His personal experience surely affected his attitude toward different cultures. Actually, it is quite hard for people to keep motivation to be concerned about different cultures if no one strongly encourages them to get involved in different communities. On the other hand students I interviewed have already discovered the necessity of different cultures. And they think that they care more about international matters than their parents' generation. Lack of information is a practical problem. Some of the American students I talked to said they did not even know whether American students were welcomed at international club meetings. I also interviewed international club officers about what they think about American students joining their clubs and how they do public relations toward American students. Gaston Araoz, Bolivia sophomore, is the social chairman of ISA. "All students are welcomed." he said. "To participate there, students inform different issues and spread awareness." He is trying to make all students aware. He said the group set up a table during orientation and hung filers in buildings, but only five American students were registered in ISA out of its 150 members. Finally, international clubs will have to keep thinking about good ways to encourage American students to participate. On the other hand, American students should pay more attention to participating in a different community. Likewise, love without a partner is not true love. Understanding differences requires interaction between American students and international students.

B It is the soldier, not the reporter, who granted freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the post, who granted freedom of speech. It is the soldier who salutes, serves beneath, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, that allows the protesters to burn the flag. If not me, then who? Protesting represents contempt Toni Smith's behavior is an embarrassment. The Manhattanville senior has decided to turn her senior has decided to turn her back on the American flag during the national anthem before her basketball games. She has every right to make her stand, but the way she is choosing to do so is both insulting and contradictory. What's more, Smith should realize that the American flag is bigger than any one federal administration. Francis Scott Key did not see Colin Powell waving above the walls of Fort McHenry. A neatly folded poster of Donald Rumsfeld is not presented to the spouse of a deceased serviceman or woman. The United States Marines did not raise a picture of President Bush on Iwo Jima. The flag transcends any one government that struts and frets its few years in Washington. It is apparent that Smith is showing her opposition to the actions and decisions of the current administration. Her actions instead represent, if inadvertently, contempt for her country. ESPN.com lists a story about Manhattanville's game against the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. As one might expect, the midshipmen were less than receptive to Smith. The real irony of Smith's actions is that she is turning her back on her right to turn her back. Citizens of Nazi Germany did not have the luxury of making such a seditious statement without fear of the harshest reprisal. They have every right to be indignant. Smith's actions constitute an ongoing slap in the face to those men and women who have put their lives on the line, and often lost them, for that flag. Try telling an infantryman in combat about Smith's "courageous protest." simply put, Smith is using her right of free speech to protest the symbol of that free speech. It sounds funny when you think of it that way. Similarly, I would guess that an Iraqi citizen today could not show such contempt for the symbol of his or her country without being swiftly shot or imprisoned. It is unfortunate that it is becoming increasingly popular to exhibit blatant anti-Americanism. Peace can indeed be patriotic, rejecting your flag cannot. Smith and her ilk should seriously reconsider their actions. Those who are not willing to respect Old Glory are demonstrating the most flagrant sort of hypocrisy by living under its protection.

The Student Senate has created a student Tuition Advisory Committee to provide the University administration with input on the tuition increases. Through this committee, it was established that any increases in tuition should be based on the principle that if students pay more for their education, they should expect to get more out of their education. Tuition at KU is expected to double by 2007 from the 2001-02 rates. These increases are designed to be a long-term investment in the overall quality of the University and not as a means to replace decreasing state funding. By publicizing the proposed five-year tuition enhancement plan, the Student Senate will work to establish TUITION ACCOUNTABILITY. Your tuition will be increasing on average by $600 again for the next four years.

KU students, alumni and current or retired faculty and staff are eligible to participate in the second annual "Picture the World" contest sponsored by Phi Beta Delta, an honor society for international students. "The contest gives us a chance through photography for people to talk about their overseas experiences," said Margaret Coffey, Phi Beta Delta president-elect. "There are some wonderful stories and messages in the experiences we all have overseas and these come through in photography in ways they can't in a story." The photos, which must have been taken outside of the United States, will be judged by divisions under the three categories of people, places and cultural traces. Image Works will donate a Nikon camera, valued at $199.95, and accessory kit to be awarded to the Best of Show winner. Best of Division winners will receive gift certificates to local businesses. Photographers from the Lawrence community will judge the contest, and winners will be announced at a reception on April 8. "There some wonderful stories and messages in the experiences we all have overseas and these come through in photography in ways they can't in a story." Margaret Coffey Phi Beta Delta president-elect Winning entries will be displayed at the Lawrence Public Library during the University's International Awareness Week April 7-25. Top winners will also appear in an oncampus exhibit in the Art and Design Building next fall. "We hope that there will be a lot of people who are interested in seeing the different places that people from KU have had a chance to visit around the world," Coffey said. Last year's contest attracted 84 color and black-and-white prints from 41 students, faculty, staff and alumni. Anne Merydith-Wolff, Phi Beta Delta chapter coordinator, expects more participation this year. "We created the contest because I saw it done at another university and I thought of all the places KU students and faculty go," Merydith-Wolff said. Deadlines for entries is 5 p.m. on March 24, at 300 Strong Hall. Entries must be an original work submitted as an 8-by-10 inch print and all prints must be unmounted, unaltered and produced from film. Digital photographs will not be accepted this year but will be in the future. A contestant may submit up to three prints under different classifications and categories. Non-members of the Phi Beta Delta will be charged a $3 entry fee. Edited by Anne Mantey Reduced sentences may ease budget woes TOPEKA — Faced with budget problems and a growing prison population, the state should reduce sentences and release inmates early, a law school professor told legislators Monday. Bill Rich, who teaches at Washburn University, offered suggestions as the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee discussed crowded prisons. "One of the things you need to think about continually is, are we sending people to prison for right amount of time?" Rich said. Kansas's prisons have grown from 8,344 inmates in 2000 to 8,893 currently, and could reach 9,016 by June, according to the Kansas Sentencing Commission. A bill awaiting Senate debate would mandate treatment rather than prison for some drug offenders, but it is likely to be stripped of a section that could mean early release for about 300 current inmates.

Testifying before the Senate Education Committee yesterday, Wichita school counselor Kim Voth held back tears as she said the bill was the only way some of her students would be able to attend college. "Many of the high school students that I work with have been in the United States ever since Her students could not afford to pay the higher out-of-state tuition, and did not even know they were illegal immigrants. Voth said. they can remember. They consider Kansas to be their home," Voth said. The legislation would apply to Kansas' public universities, community colleges and vocational technical schools. The committee took no action on the proposal, which passed the House in late February. Under the bill, illegal immigrants would pay in-state tuition if they had attended at least three years at an accredited Kansas high school or earned a General Educational Development certificate in Kansas. In either case, such students would have to meet regular college acceptance requirements. Also yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony on a House-passed bill allowing illegal immigrants to obtain temporary-resident driver's licenses. Currently, immigrants seeking driver's licenses must prove they are in the United States legally. The committee took no action. The tuition and driver's license bills are both intended to grant the same rights to citizens as to immigrants in the process of becoming citizens, said Elias Garcia, chairman of the Kansas Hispanic Caucus. Two citizens appeared before the committees to testify against the bills, which they said would reward illegal activity. "We are inviting every criminal and terrorist to migrate to the great state of Kansas," said Paul Degener of Topeka, who identified himself as a veteran and concerned citizen and testified against both bills.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 9A WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 2003 Surpassing expectations 3 Jayhawks upset Cyclones in third try this season with three-point defense Kansas center Tamara Ransburg is mobbed by her team after the ninth-seeded Jayhawks defeated Iowa State 63-60 in the first round of the Wagner Pick 12 tournament at Reunion Arena in Dallas. Ransburg finished with 12 points in the contest. By Ryan Greene rggreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter If any players on the Kansas women's basketball team were thinking of leaving Friday for spring break, those plans may have to be put on hold. The Jayhawks (11-17 overall, 4-13 Big 12 Conference) pulled off an upset victory yesterday in the opening round of the women's Big 12 tournament in Dallas with a 63-60 victory against Iowa State (12-16, 7-10). For the first time in their three meetings this season, Kansas was able to keep Iowa State from firing away at will behind the three-point line. In the first two contests, the Cyclones hit 11 three-pointers in each game but were only able to produce four yesterday. "They normally score a lot more from the three-point arc," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "They had a lot of fun out there with each other, and when you start talking to them now, and they can respond, then you know they've grown." The Jayhawks led early and often, taking a 28-25 lead into halftime. After holding off the Cyclones throughout the second half, freshman forward Crystal Kemp's late free throws helped to seal the three-point victory. Kemp led the way for Kansas with 21 points. Her 11 rebounds were also a team-high, giving her, her fourth double-double of the season. Kemp struggled during the stretch run of the conference season, but her performance in the season's biggest victory was nothing but satisfying. "It felt good to know that I can contribute to a win like that," Kemp said. Kemp was one of four Jayhawks to score in double figures. Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg chipped in with 12 points, eight rebounds and two blocks late in the game. Sophomore guard Aquanita Burras scored 11 points, but her biggest presence was on the defensive end. Burras kept Iowa State from dominating beyond the arc. She also had four steals. Sophomore guard Blair Waltz added 11 points. Waltz hit three three-point shots and dished out a team-high seven assists. For Iowa State, senior guard Lindsey Wilson helped the Cyclones keep pace with 25 points. Unfortunately for her she could not get free for a single three point attempt. "You saw everything come together and you saw the potential," Washington said. "I'm so proud of them. They worked hard and they worked together. It's such a confidence booster for them."

Texas TV: Fox Sports Net Radio: 1320 KLWN 'Hawks try to keep confidence flowing By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The only downside to Kansas' 63-60 upset victory yesterday against Iowa State to start the Big 12 tournament is that there's not much time to celebrate. The Jayhawks had their best performance of the conference season in the tournament's opening round, including shooting a scorching 51.9 percent from the field. Even with the overflow of confidence from yesterday's victory, today's game against the top-seeded Texas Longhorns will be a true match-up of David vs. Goliath. "We're not just going to face one of the top teams in the conference, but one of the top teams in the country," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "They have such quickness on their bench so that they don't lose a step, so defending them one-on-one will not be easy." Kansas found that out the hard way on Feb. 8, when the Jayhawks were thumped in Austin, Texas, 89-47. In the first meeting, Kansas shot 30.4 percent from the floor, while Texas shot 53.8 percent. percent. One advantage the Jayhawks have going into this game compared to the first meeting is the services of sophomore guard Blair Waltz. Waltz's 11 points and seven assists were key in the victory over Iowa State, but her presence was not even noticed in the first meeting with Texas. Waltz played just 17 minutes and went scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting while suffering from back pain. Two Jayhawks who need to step up in particular are freshman forwards Crystal Kemp and Tamara Ransburg. On the season, the duo is averaging nearly 22 points and 14 rebounds per game, but on Feb. 8 only accounted for 8 and 11. The two need to step up on defense to combat one of the nation's top front-court combinations in sophomore forward Heather Schreiber and junior center Stacy Stephens. "I think we're just gonna be different overall," Kemp said. "We're just going to have to want it more and go out there and work harder than they will." - Edited by Jason Elliott COMMENTARY COMMENTARY Andy Samuelson asamuelson@kansan.com Oh, Mizzou this Hawk thanks you Everyone saw the score, but no one said thanks. So on behalf of University of Kansas fans, I would like to write a Jayhawk thank you poem to Missouri's No. 1 fans — the Antlers. Dear Antlers, Thanks again for those late-night calls, who knew those late threes would fall? Travon said Miles couldn't hit from 10-feet, but after the bomb it was crow he would eat. Most of the game we didn't need luck, we weren't playing great yet still were un- Ricky Clemons had the half of his life, but for the first 20 minutes it looked as if someone was beating his xxxx. (Whoops! Sorry, that one slipped.) Anyway the victory makes five in a row, Kansas fans hope the dominance won't go. The talent doesn't seem too far apart, we thought you were Mizzou's extra spark. After all, this is what Tiger fans live for but the equivalent to us is the Final Four. MU's coach is the fourth-richest in the land, but still no Big 12 rings grace his hand. Before the game MU fans were ready to riot, for most of the day Columbia seemed quiet. You had the hair and a plethora of dresses. Kansas again blew town leaving messes. You've won the Border War in most sports, not the one that counts — on the court. No matter how many times we saw the finger, those two daggers make your pain linger. Get ready for January, we'll do it again, making you long for the Haley twins. Jayhawk fans heard all your lame taunts, doesn't matter who's gay, we can flaunt. You say Rock Chalk Chickenhawk, F—KU. We'll say another win for Crimson & Blue. Love, Jay Hawk Balk in bottom of eighth dooms Jayhawks in loss By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan swwriter Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price knew that his team was in for a challenge when they left last night for Fayetteville, Ark., to take on the University of Arkansas Razorbacks. He was right, and the Jayhawks lost 2-1 to drop their record to 16-5. Junior Ryan Knippschild started for Kansas and pitched seven and two thirds innings allowing six hits and two runs, one earned. Knippschild was credited with the loss and his record dropped to 4-1; the same day he was named Big 12 pitcher of the week. He was honored for his performance last week, in which he pitched a complete game against Western Michigan.

The Jayhawks could muster only five hits, while the Razorbacks managed six.

The match-up would allow the Jayhawks an escape from the usual contests with other universities, an experience that Kansas coach Mark Francis said would be good for his team. "We wanted to play against a boys team," Francis said. "It's a team that will challenge us and help us work on "We want to do a better job defensively," Francis said. "Giving up five goals in our first two games isn't good. We did a good job of keeping possession of the ball, but we are working to improve." Francis said that controlling possession of the ball and defense were two aspects of the game that the Jayhawks were focusing on during the spring season. "It was a good start for the team," assistant coach Donna Hollyman said The game will mark the home opener for Kansas' spring season after opening with a double-header in Memphis, Tenn., earlier on March 1. The Jayhawks battled Kentucky to a 2-2 tie and fell 3-0 to Florida. Freshmen Caroline Smith and Kim Karfonta each scored a goal against the Wildcats. what we need to work on."

MARCH 12. 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 11A Athlete qualifies for NCAA meet By Chris Wintering cwintering@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Junior sprinter Leo Bookman will be the only Jayhawk to compete in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship this weekend in Fayetteville, Ark. The NCAA announced Monday evening that Bookman was the team's only athlete who had a good enough time or mark to make the national meet. Bookman hit an automatic qualifying time earlier in the season at the Tyson Invitational on Feb. 14. The NCAA decides who will run in the meet by setting both provisional and automatic times for every event. It then ranks those athletes who beat those times and enters them into the national meet. This is done by first entering all the automatic qualifiers and then ranking all the provisional qualifiers. No provisional time is guaranteed to be in the meet. Because not enough provisional spots exist, a large number of athletes did not make the cut. Kansas had five provisional qualifiers whose times or marks were not good enough to make the meet. Those qualifiers were senior Anson Jackson in the 60-meter hurdles, sophomore high jumper Sondra Rauterkus, senior pole vaulter Jeremy Hull, the women's distance medley relay team of junior Laura Lavoie, sophomore Kim Clark, freshman Angela Pichardo and sophomore Megan Manthe, and the women's 4x400-meter relay team of sophomore Brooklyn Hann, junior Stacy Keller, senior Shameika McField and Clark. The distance medley relay team did not expect that its time would be good enough to make the meet. Because of the competition around the country, the team felt it needed to beat the automatic qualifying mark to get in, said team members Manthe and Pichardo. "We all ran as hard as we could, but it's disappointing to know we "The good news is that we are all young and going to be back next year, and hopefully this will make us that much stronger." Angela Pichardo Women's distance madley relay team were so close," Pichardo said. "The good news is that we are all young and going to be back next year, and hopefully this will make us that much stronger." - Edited by Anne Mantey Tennis team hopes to defeat Missouri By Jonah Ballow jballow@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter In the midst of a six-match stretch in the Big 12 Conference, the No. 59 ranked Kansas tennis team takes on the No. 43 ranked Missouri Tigers in Columbia, Mo. The Jayhawks are 6-4 overall and 2-1 in the conference with a victory over Nebraska Saturday. Kansas hopes to hand the Tigers their third straight defeat in conference play. "I feel we gained a lot of confidence with the Nebraska match," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "Missouri does get better every year so we know that it will be a tough match." Missouri is 8-3 overall and 3-2 in the conference after starting the season 3-0, when the Tigers suffered losses to the Baylor Bears and Texas Tech Raiders last weekend. Missouri was only able to gain one victory in doubles play and it came from the No. 1 doubles team of Urska Juric and Katka Sevcikova against Baylor. Juric and Sevcikova are ranked fourth in the nation at their doubles position. Kansas has won three of its last four matches with two crucial victories against Big 12 opponents such as Nebraska and Iowa State. The Jayhawks received solid play in doubles with a sweep over the Nebraska doubles teams. In singles, sophomore Paige Brown and junior Emily Haylock are on four match-winning streaks at the No.2 and No.3 singles positions. Kansas leads Missouri with a 26-2 advantage, including 21 straight victories over the Tigers "It's a big rivalry so we will all be fired up," Brown said. "We need to focus and stay within ourselves."

ANSA Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9A Kansas' 3 through 8 batters only hit the ball once throughout the game, which came on a double by junior Ryan Baty. The only player with more than one hit was freshman second baseman Ritchie Price who went 2-5 on the day. The only other offensive bright spot for Kansas came from senior shortstop Brandon Runpard who hit his first home run of the season. "The atmosphere in the locker room after the game shows that we expect to win every game we play." Price said. "Sometimes you lose 2-1, and sometimes you win 2-1. We will bounce back from this though, and keep playing hard." The game entered the bottom of the eighth still tied at 1-1, but Knippschild was called for a balk with runners on first and second base. After each runner advanced a base, the next batter squeezed a ball through the right side of the infield, as the winning run scored. Kansas tried to respond in the top of the ninth when junior Matt Tribble got on base by an error on Arkansas first baseman Haas Pratt. Tribble reached second base with no one out, but Kansas failed to get him home. Tribble, who went 0-4 on the day, saw his record hit-streak stop at 20 games. Kansas will return to action Friday at Hoglund Ballpark as it faces Oral Roberts University at 4 p.m. — Edited by Jason Elliott Royals release outfielder The Associated Press SURPRISE. Ariz. — Outfielder Mark Quinn was placed on unconditional release waivers yesterday by the Kansas City Royals following a slow spring training start. "We said coming into spring training there were going to be no gimmes," manager Tony Pena said. Quinn, 28, is a former Texas League and Pacific Coast League batting champion. Pena said everybody believed Quinn was not going to help the balclub. Quinn had a $500,000, one-year contract and will receive 30 days' termination pay, $81,967. After today, players who are placed on release waivers get 45 days' termination pay. but Quinn was limited to 23 games last year after he broke a rib and tore his left hamstring. He reinjured the hamstring on March 3 and played in only one 'B' game. He was unavailable to play Monday and was 1-for-8 in spring training games. After hitting .294 with 20 home runs and 78 RBI as a rookie in 2000, Quinn dropped to.269 with 17 homers and 60 RBI in 2001. - How would YOU like to be an internationally known photographer, have your photos exhibited and win some great prizes too?

Residents of Stouffer Place, 19th and Iowa streets, said the community was located close enough to the University to seem like a part of campus, yet far enough away to seem like the apartments are part of its own community. Rosina Kalusha, El Salvador graduate student and resident of Stouffer Place, said she liked the location because it was close to her child's daycare center. "It's very convenient to be able to drop my child off at the Hilltop Childcare Center on my way to class and then pick him up again on my way home," Kalusha said. Sandra Cone, Little Rock, Ark., graduate student, said the price was the other bonus of living in the apartments. "I'm sure there's not a lot of houses or apartments around campus that offer a rent of less than $300 a month," Cone said. Stouffer Place Apartments, 19th and Iowa streets, accommodate the University's married students and students with children. Students with children viewed the family-oriented community as most important to their living situation. Camisha McDaniel, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said she decided to move to the apartments because she knew the community would be filled with other families with children. For some families, the family-oriented community turned out to be the deciding factor in choosing to live in Stouffer Place. "I knew the apartments offered after-school activities through its community center, and I knew this involvement would allow my children to meet, communicate and play with other kids their same age," McDaniel said. "The family housing option was one of the big reasons why we chose to attend KU," said Mark Kalusha, Rosina Kalusha's husband. "Facilities made specifically for families is not an easy option to find on all campuses." Andy Samuelson/Kansan Residents also said they felt the community atmosphere made them safer. Sandra Cone said she never hears or worries about crime around her apartment and always felt safe even when she walked alone to her car at night because the environment was well lit. "My neighbors make me feel safe because we always keep an eye out for each other," Cone said. "I always feel like my home is safe even when I go out of town for the holidays because many of the international students stay here and act like a permanent security system." The environment is more than just a place to feel safe and secure, it's also an environment filled with international students and diverse cultures. Debby Ogden, Council Grove junior, said the apartment's community center always had some type of activity planned for the children and adults to increase their awareness of different cultures. Students who are interested in living in Stouffer Place should complete an application and send it with a $35 non-refundable application fee to the KU Department of Student Housing. Although one-bedroom apartments are generally available throughout the year, two-bedroom and renovated two and three-bedroom apartments usually have a waiting list that can extend from six months to more than a year. The Department of Housing encourages students to apply early to guarantee an apartment. - Edited by Brandon Gay and Christy Dendurent By Maggie Newcomer correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Maggie Mason, Ontario Canada, junior, and her six roommates rearranged their three-story house this summer to make the city inspector believe only three people lived there. They moved beds, rearranged closets and desks because of a city ordinance stating that no more than three unrelated people can live together in neighborhoods zoned single-family. "Our landlord told us two days before that our house would be inspected," Mason said. "We didn't know what they were looking for exactly, so we changed everything." Andy Samuelson/Kansan Mason's home is one of hundreds that has been inspected. Mason said she was "not surprised" people were taking action against the ordinance. Miller said that typically inspections occurred because of new construction or remodeling, or at the request of the tenant or landlord for code compliance. Mason and her roommates gave consent for their home to be searched. However Chris Miller, attorney for the Citizens Rights Committee, said under the city's ordinance 7326, they don't need permission. Miller said the inspectors would get search warrants and force their way in if tenants refuse entry. The Citizens Rights Committee, made up of local landlords and tenants, has filed a lawsuit against the city because it disagreed with the way the inspections were being carried out, member Aaron Kirby, Los Angeles senior, said. Kirby rents a house alone in East Lawrence. Victor Torres, the city's director of neighborhood resources, said inspectors looked for health and sanitation-related items in homes. Items such as smoke detectors, ventilation and the proper number of exits are also on the code compliance list. Sarah Lafferty, Lawrence senior, moved into an off-campus apartment with her cat Buckee after living in the Sunflower House Cooperative with 30 other people for two and a half years. Kirby said he thought the real motivation behind the inspections was to get people to move out south and west to new, empty apartment complexes. Torres said that was not the case. "We are conducting the inspections to check for proper livability and safety of rental and single-family units," Torres said. While Mason's landlord informed her of an impending inspection, Miller said landlords were not required to tell their tenants anything. Kirby said the lines of communication among inspectors, landlords and tenants sometimes get crossed. Living alone has perks, concerns "Some people are waking up to an inspection like. What the hell are you doing in my house?" Kirby said. — Edited by Erin Chapman By Jason Shaad correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent By Jason Shaad No fights about bills, no explaining late-night visitors, no parties keeping you awake when you have a test in the morning—these are some of the perks of living alone, according to the Off-Campus Living Resource Center. But many people would have reservations about living alone in an apartment or residence hall. Eva Szafranski, Chicago freshman, did not find out she would not have a roommate until a week before she moved into Oliver Hall. "When I got here and found out that I didn't have one and was going to be living alone, I was a little disappointed," Szafranski said. Szafranski has gained a new respect for living alone. "It is convenient to have somewhere to study and not have to worry about being interrupted by anybody. I get to live on my own terms and be as messy as I want," she said. Kelly Wilder, Austin, Texas, freshman and GSP Hall resident chose to live alone. "I like my own personal space and I am kind of anal about my living conditions," Wilder said. But living alone does have its down sides. "Sometimes it gets scary at night," she said. "After the rape incident earlier this year, things were kind of awkward, but I feel safe with the front door security." Security is often an issue for those who live alone, but Sarah Lafferty, Lawrence senior, moved into an apartment by herself after living in the Sunflower House Cooperative with 30 other people for two and a half years. "I was kind of hesitant to be by myself, but nothing really creeps me out," Lafferty said. Loneliness was a bigger problem for Lafferty. "After sharing a kitchen and a bathroom with 30 people, I was ready to see what it would be like by myself," Lafferty said. "The downside is I get lonely pretty fast, but I go to Café Luna a lot to study and be with my friends." Single-person living units tend to be more expensive than multiple occupancy residences. According to the Off-Campus Living Resource Center, single-bedroom or studio apartments start at about $250 a month and go for as much as $500 depending on location, amenities and newness. — Edited by Lindsay Hanson Sans house, chapter members bond By Sadie Martin By Sade Martin correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Fraternity and sorority chapters without a house to call home still maintain strong bonds among their members. Unlike members of the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association,members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council live separately and have meetings on campus, like a club. The difference in living situa tions offered by these different chapters can be a deciding factor for those who want to join a fraternity or sorority. “Part of the reason I chose to join Mu Sigma Upsilon was because I wouldn't have to live in a sorority house,” said Vivian Volante, Overland Park junior. “One of the benefits of being in a non-traditional sorority is that costs less. Plus, I enjoy the independence it offers.” Even though they don't live together, communicating with her sorority sisters is not a problem for Zeta Phi Beta member Jennifer Leong. "We are able to communicate easier than traditional chapters because we have smaller numbers. We usually conduct chapter meetings at one of the unions or a member's residence," said Leong, St. Louis senior. Communication is also not a problem for Sigma Lambda Beta member, Jose Interiano. "I've never felt that our chapter is at a disadvantage just because we don't all live together," said Interiano, Wichita sophomore. "I see the brothers from my house frequently, at least once a day. I didn't join because of the living situation. I joined because of the work we do in the community." Leong said it was the bond between the members that make being in a sorority most enjoyable. "Regardless of sorority members living together," Leong said, "if there isn't a bond between the members or a sense of sisterhood, then you miss the experience of being in a sorority." - Edited by Leah Shaffer STUDY ABROAD DEADLINE: MARCH 14, 2003 The deadline for many summer and fall study abroad programs has been extended to March 14.

Although RAs receive free room and board as well as a small stipend, most RAs said the experience was the best benefit. But the work of an RA is not perfect. It takes a lot of time and sacrifice. Heather Young, Abilene senior and former Hashinger Hall RA, said she felt a huge gap between herself and her off-campus friends during her time as an RA. Jesse Atwell, Verdi senior and former Oliver Hall RA, said he had to deal with obnoxious and disgusting behavior from residents. "For some bizarre reason, freshmen students have this extreme fetish with human feces," Atwell said. "They are all closet fecalphiliacs." Atwell said fire alarms were also a problem in Oliver. Another challenge of being a RA is being an authority figure. "I loved waking up at five in the morning because some drunk moron pulled the switch or burnt their rubber chicken in the microwave," Atwell said. Mike Lemon, Bonner Springs junior and Templin Hall RA, said it was hard to keep from being the bad guy. "RAs are looked at as enforcers, but they are really just students who are there to help." Lemon said. Some students appreciate the thin line their RAs tread between enforcer and buddy. Brandon Heinz. Lakewood, Colo., freshman, said his RA was like a really cool uncle. "They will slap you around when you screw up and will be your best friend when you don't." Heinz said. By far, the biggest complaint RAs had was dealing with the bureaucracy of the residence halls. Young said it was almost impossible to get big issues taken care of because there were so many people who had to discuss a change before it could be made. To become a RA, you must complete an application process that involves filling out forms, meeting GPA requirements and going to several interviews. Diana Robertson, the Associate Director of Student Housing, said interviewers looked for people who had good leadership, communication and organization skills. About 100 RAs are selected each year. "In spite of being surrounded by fecalphiliacs, it is just entertaining." Atwell said. Despite its drawbacks, most RAs agreed that the job was rewarding. — Edited by Anne Mantey By Melissa Frankel correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Coffeehouse work fun despite smells A coffeehouse can be more than a place to hang out and drink coffee at; it can be a place to work. Levi Reznicek, Baldwin senior, said he enjoyed his job at Z's Divine Espresso, 10 E. Ninth St. .Suite A. Reznicek said the hours were flexible and the environment was clean and he usually had time to read or study or talk to customers. Reznicek also said it paid better than any job he had had. Natalie Patrick, Lenexa junior, works at Borders Books, Music and Café, 700 New Hampshire St. She said she also liked her job, and she especially liked getting book discounts. The employee discount is not the only reason Patrick likes her job. She said that by learning how to make coffee she had learned to truly appreciate the drink. There is one aspect of her job, however, that she does not like. "I spill milk on my clothes and go home smelling like steamed, sour milk," she said. Jeff Otte, Topeka senior, works at Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St. He also mentioned the smells associated with his job. Andy Samuelson/Kansan "I come out of here smelling like coffee and cigarettes. It's pretty terrible," Otte said. Patrick said students came to Borders to get fast food and coffee and to study, although it does offer gourmet drinks. Patrick said she appreciated it when she had time to concentrate and make a beautiful drink. When she goes out to drink coffee, though, she prefers to go to the local places over large chains like Borders. Otte said there were definitely differences between working at a chain store and a local shop. "We take punches with the economy instead of driving out the local economy like some chains," Otte said. "We don't have to wear uniforms or follow behavior codes or feel like we have a manager sitting over the top of us all of the time." Starbucks' employees declined to be interviewed for this article. When he was first learning to make coffee Otte said it was hard. "It it takes about three years to really get up on par to it. To learn the ins and outs of everything. To memorize the types of coffees and their different origins and to kind of perfect your skills." Otte said. BEST BAR COFFEE SHOP Reznicek said when he first started learning to make coffee drinks he was working at the Z's location at 1800 E. 23rd St. He said actually making the drinks was not too difficult, but dealing with the early-morning rush of commuters at the drive-through was a challenge. "It's really important in the mornings that you are really quick." Reznick said. Spending time conversing with customers is something Reznicek, Patrick and Otte all said they do at work. Patrick said about 50 percent of her customers are regulars, and people tell her a lot about their lives. "It's like being a lesser-paid bartender I suppose. You don't have to deal with drunks, but you do have to deal with pseudo-intellectuals which is sort of the same thing sometimes," Otte said. Natalie Patrick, Lenexa junior, mixes a latte at Borders Books, Music and Café, 700 New Hampshire St. Patrick enjoys her job but said she could live without the coffeehouse smell. "I spill milk on my clothes and go home smelling like steamed sour milk," she said. Finding a job at a coffeehouse is not always easy. Otte said Henry's received about five applications every day. He said students who wanted to work at a coffeehouse should apply to the places they enjoy going to during their free time, should get to know the owners and should be enthusiastic about the job. "The last thing you're going to need is a lot of luck because generally they seem to be some of the first student jobs to fill up in this town." Otte said. "If you're lucky enough to find one where you get along with the patrons and the staff then the gamble can be worth it." - Edited by Amber Byarlay Tandem Sky dive: $153 DON'T GO AND SEE. GO AND DO.

She is sorting all of her personal affairs to prepare to leave the country and may be forced to drop her spring semester courses. On Feb. 20, Daniels was notified that she would be on red alert because of the "War on Terrorism." This means that Daniels cannot leave the city of Lawrence and must be prepared to be shipped out at a moment's notice. Daniels joined the Army Reserve when she was a freshman at Southwest Texas State University to help cover expensive college costs. She was previously commissioned as a pharmacy technician and now is a Medical Service Corps officer. She has served in the Army Reserve for 11 years and plans to stay for nine more years in order to receive retirement benefits. The Army Reserve has not affected her college education until now. The University Registrar's office will take care of all of Daniel's educational affairs if she is called to duty. Judy Gilland, senior administrative assistant at the registrar's office, said under the "One Stop Exit" plan that was instated this past January, the University will issue students a full refund for all of their expenses when they supply their papers calling them to duty. Gilliland in charge of dropping the students' classes and getting refunds for all other educational necessities, such as parking passes, athletic passes and bus passes. Gillandi said that Richard Morrell, KU Registrar, and Mary Lee Hummert, Vice Provost, made a joint effort to make the exit process fast and easy for students being activated. "Students' last days need to be spent with their families and not on campus dropping their classes." Gilliland said. Gilliland said that about 30 students have withdrawn from the University since the beginning of the school year because they had been called to duty. Christina Daniels is striving to "I'm hoping for the shortest leave period as possible. It could be possible that I'll be gone for three months to two years." Christina Daniels Lawrence graduate student finish her graduate program. To graduate the University with a doctorate degree, the University requires that students complete a research project. She chose to conduct research on the regulation of viral gene expression. She is working under Sandra Quackenbush in her lab research of walleye fish. She has been working on this research in Quackenbush's lab for two years. Daniels said she would finish the lab research in three more years. She doesn't know how long she will be gone on her mission overseas or how much of a distraction it will be from her research. "Unfortunately the Army Reserves has put me behind," Daniels said. "I'm hoping for the shortest leave period as possible. It could be possible that I'll be gone for three months to two years." Anthony Daniels, Christina's husband, plans to continue a routine schedule if Christina is called to duty. He explains that this is essential for their 3-year-old son, Antonio. He said that he would continue to take his son to Hilltop Child Development Center on the University campus. Christina said it's difficult to explain leaving to a 3-year-old child. "It's hard to explain to him because he's not old enough to understand the situation, but he is old enough to understand that I will not be there." Christina said. Anthony Daniels is praying that his wife will not be deployed to war. Christina Daniels is keeping her options open and continuing her research in Sandra Quackenbush's lab. Christina said she is sorting out her personal affairs so she will be prepared if she is called to duty.

TWO-WAY RADIO When Garmin set out to create a one-of-a-kind product, they gave Hank and Wai, engineering project leaders, a clean slate. No rigid specifications, no constraints on product design and capabilities. From this "blue sky" blueprint was born Rin io, the world's first two-way radio and GPS that can send and receive locations. Thanks to its unique design and innovative features, Rino had thousands of advance orders before it even hit store shelves. According to Hank and Wai, it's all about engineers with the freedom to dream and leaders willing to listen. Want to work for a company where your ideas are heard instead of being part of the herd?

As sales manager for Student Travel Services, Mennen can travel to Acapulco, Mexico, on spring break for free. Mennen oversees approximately 22 sales representatives. These representatives promote and sell Student Travel Services spring break trips at the University of Kansas. As a freshman, Mennen sold more than 100 trips. After his freshman year, he was promoted to sales manager. To organize a spring break trip to Acapulco, for his friends last year, Ryan Higgins, Wichita senior, became a sales representative for Bianchi-Rossi Tours. Because he had the trip details planned, it was easy for Higgins to sell the trip to his friends. He sold approximately 40 trips and received his trip free. Selling to friends was not always easy. "Some of them do not think that you deserve to go for free." Hiiegas said. According to the Student Travel Services Web site, if a representative sells at least 15 trips, then he qualifies not only for a free trip, but also commission off the trips sold. Bianchi-Rossi also offers a free trip and commission after 15 trips are sold. Lindsay Demarais, Apple Valley, Minn., senior, bought a spring break package from Mennen. For Demarais, this spring break package was inexpensive compared to purchasing her own ticket and hotel. Yet, not all students can afford the packages that the campus representatives sell.A spring break package to Acapulco from both Student Travel Services and Bianchi-Rossi Spring Break tours can cost more than $700. However, this doesn't deter students from selling. Because many representatives live in sororities or fraternities, Mennen said creating interest and finding people for the trips is simple. — Edited by Ryan Wood Student pays for college through exotic dancing By Bob Johnson correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent By Bob Johnson "Tori" was kicked out of her house when she turned 18. She was not yet a stripper — that came a year and a half later — it was just that Tori told her parents that she no longer prescribed to many of their strict Mormon beliefs. Tori, which is a stage name, had been involved in her church and was a straight-A student through high school, but her parents though she might be a bad influence on her siblings and cut her off financially. With no financial backing of any kind, Tori's hopes of one day attending medical school were dwindling fast. Then she found out she had been named a National Merit Scholar, and that the University of Kansas was willing to offer her a four-year scholarship that covered tuition and room and board expenses. In the fall of 2000, Tori came to the University of Kansas to major in human biology with a minor in chemistry. Tori needed to find a new job, one where she could make a lot of money in very few hours so she could concentrate on her studies. Tori and a friend tossed around job ideas and the option of stripping. The job had the hours and pay Tori was looking for. She was sold. Tori has worked for Bada Bing for about two years, and pays for all of her extraneous expenses besides tuition and rent, with the money she makes as a dancer. She is a junior teaching assistant at the University, is taking an MCAT preparatory class and has a grade point average of 3.86. "She is a hard worker, punctual and absolutely one of the most intelligent dancers I have ever worked with," said Mike Henderson, bar manager at Bada Bing. Tori said this was the case with most of her co-workers. "There is this stereotype that strippers are all drug addicts, coke heads, hookers," Tori said. "In actuality, most of the women I dance with are just working to financially support themselves and their goals." Tori said that her relationship with her family had improved since she left home,but she still had not told them what line of work she was in. Tori does not plan to continue dancing beyond her college years. I will not answer any questions about the image content. It is not clearly visible or readable. Some college students help pay for tuition and other expenses by working at strip clubs. Many strippers don't think that they fit the stripper stereotype.

"I love Mass — it's the atmosphere. It is so different from any mall you'll walk into even though Mass does have chain stores," said Estelle Montgomery, Eudora freshman. Brandon Longren, Virginia Beach, Va., freshman, said Massachusetts Street had every kind of store you would ever want to wander into. "There's so much diversity on campus, there seems to be a shop for every person's taste." Longren said. Natalie Bonebrake, Topeka freshman, recommended Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., Hobbs Inc., 700 Massachusetts St., and Britches Clothing Co., 843 Massachusetts St., for fun clothing and accessory shopping "We're different, we're a specialty store, and we fill the gap. We're not Abercrombie, and we're not trying to be," said Drew Farse, Britches owner, Farse said Britches gained student attention because of its young, trendy clothes and because it had little stock of each item. "We have only about six of each kind of shirt, and we get new stuff in every two days. That way you don't go to the bars and see three of your shirt," Farse said. An Arizona Trading Co. employees said its fashion and prices kept students coming back for more. "We offer a lot of fashionable and cheap clothes, we have a fun and energetic atmosphere, and we're not corporate so we appeal to the individual," Jennifer Sievers, Arizona Trading Co. manager said. Right now its spring tank tops and handmade items are already starting to sell. KU merchandise stores battle for sales, but Jayhawk Spirit manager, Willy Wilkerson, said its store, 935 Massachusetts St., attracted various kinds of students. "We carry unique items," he said. While some students enjoy the Massachusetts Street atmosphere, others such as Jon Pierre, St. Louis freshman, and Lindsay Laurila, Edina, Minn., freshman, would rather shop elsewhere. JUAN "I'll go to Mass for KU merchandise, but for the rest of my shopping I'd rather go to the mall." Pierre said. "They have more stores, and it's more convenient for me to find everything I need faster." Lindsey Gold/Kansan Laurila hates battling the weather outside when she is trying to shop. "I enjoy the stores on Mass, but I hate walking around all day in the heat or snow." Laurila said, "The mall is built for the elements." Topeka freshmen Stephanie Meador and Natalie Bonebrake try on hats Saturday at Arizona Trading Company, 734 Massachusetts St. The two said they shopped at Arizona Trading Company occasionally, but they usually go to Urban Outfitters or drive to Overland Park to shop in Oak Park Mall, 11461 W, 95th St. Whether looking for a specific item or just wanting to window shop, Massachusetts Street may or may not be the best shopping experience. "I love it. Mass has got everything I need on one street," Longren said, "and gosh darn, the people are just nice." Delivering offers freedom, flexibility Edited by Julie Jantzer By Maggie Newcomer correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Almost anything can be delivered nowadays. With life becoming more and more convenient, it's easy to take the people who make all these deliveries for granted. While some may consider being a delivery person an easy job, Pete Skakal, Lawrence senior, said it took a special kind of person to make deliveries. "I'm definitely a people person," he said. "You have to be fast and organized but stay calm at the same time. Plus you have to be able to handle traffic. A lot of people get serious road rage." Skakal has delivered for Mr. Goodcents, 1410 Kasold Driver, for three years. Skakal said his job fit him because he enjoys driving around and listening to music. Nate Roberts, Overland Park senior, also enjoys his job delivering for Pizza Hut, 934 Massachusetts St. "It's really laid back, I like the people I work with and they have flexible hours." Roberts said. Skakal said another perk of being a delivery driver was the pay. Skakal receives a normal wage, plus tips and $1 per delivery. He said he usually got tipped well, but he gets stiffed about three times a night. Wrong addresses and confusing neighborhoods are other common delivery problems, Skakal said. Skakal said Mr. Goodcents had about five customers who ordered every day. Skakal said that knowing the customers could almost become a job hazard. "There's also some people who have smelly houses," he said. "We know their names too, and no one ever wants to make those deliveries." Delivery drivers have more than a few bizarre on-the-job stories, Roberts said. "One time a drunk guy called and ordered a pizza that we don't make," Roberts said. "He demanded that I make it, so I said I would if he gave me a good tip." When Roberts arrived at the man's house, he came away with a $10 tip. The best part of the job was its freedom, Roberts said. USMA Aaron Showalter/Kansan Jeffrey Kling, Leawood sophomore, delivers pizza for Papa John's Pizza. Delivery jobs offer students scheduling flexibility. "It's like it's not even work," Roberts said.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 2003 STUDENTLIFE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7B Demonstrations increase KU students protest to express themselves By Danielle Hillix correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Tibetan monks and picket signs bring back fond memories for Hallie Bennett. Just like babysitters and stuffed animals, they were a part of her childhood. Bennett, Marion junior, grew up attending protests with her parents. As a college student, Bennett continues to participate in protests and rallies, using them as a medium to express her opinions. The threat of war increased protests in Lawrence and around the country, yet active protesters like Bennett remain in the minority. Ron Francisco, professor of political science, said research showed that, at most, 5 percent of people in a given area would participate in even the most successful of protests. Allan Hanson knows the statistics about protest participation all too well. Hanson would love for everyone to be opposed to war, or in favor of war, to participate in a protest, but he knew that wouldn't happen. For every person actively protesting, there were many more who supported the cause, he said. "After every protest, I get a million calls from people saying, 'Gee, I The coordinator of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, Hanson organizes protests throughout the year. Mobilizing participants is a big part of his job. He said often people did not take part in protests because they were afraid or didn't know what a protest was like. wish I could've been there.' But other things come up," Hanson said. Scheduling conflicts often present problems for would-be protesters. Alexis Reed, Great Bend freshman, said she wanted to attend an anti-war protest in Kansas City, but a homework assignment stopped her from making the trip. ARE YOU REPUBLICRATS OR DEMOBILIANS? Shana Hurst, Overland Park freshman, said laziness kept her from protesting. She describes herself as a "free rider" — profiting from the work of others. Changes made because of protests will benefit everyone, she said, not just those who protested. Bennett said that mentality limited the number of active protesters, but she said she knew that many people who supported a cause did not join in protests. Supporters not protesting John Nowak/Kansan Student protesters and Lawrence residents circle a Lawrence Police vehicle as they engulf Massachusetts Street on January 15. Anti-war protests and rallies have become more frequent in Lawrence since last fall. honked their horns or flashed peace signs to the demonstrators, Bennett said. "Protesters are often a minority, expressing the opinion of the majority." Bennett said. "Protesters just want that opinion to be heard." Edited by Andrew Ward Nintendo Students wile away hours playing computer, video games Bv Laura Clark correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent There are so many things a student can do each week in the hours of free time between classes, work and, of course, those two hours of study time per hour in class.

Jackie Golon, Shawnee junior, plays Dynasty Warriors III on PlayStation 2, with Craig Brase, Shawnee senior. "We don't play all the time, but when we start playing this one," Gallon said of the game, "we usually play for six hours." Steve Boman, Kansas City, Mo. junior, plays video games like NCAA Football 2003, EverQuest and Civilization III for about four hours a day Boman said he liked video games, whether it was one or multiple-player because it was something to do without the hassle of having to organize large groups of friends for activities. Although these activities are impossible, or at the very least, unadvisable in Lawrence, but for students who play video games in their free time, these activities come to life on their television "My roommates make fun of me occasionally but they'd do that anyway," Boman said. "It's all in fun. I wouldn't say it affects my relationship with people." For Jackie Golon, Shawnee junior, playing video games is a challenge and a social activity. She plays up to fifteen hours of video games per week, usually in her leisure time with her boyfriend and groups of friends. "I'm the only girl, so they're' all pretty amazed that I can play video games," Golon said. "I can pretty much kick their asses." Golon prefers fighting games like Rival Schools and Marvel vs. Capcom because they allow her to release stress without being physically violent. She calls herself a button jammer, someone who hits the buttons really hard when playing intensely. If Golon has a new game, she admits to spending more hours with Dreamcast, Playstation, and Playstation 2, but she maintains her dedication to other obligations, including working one day per week and doing schoolwork. "I've been pretty lazy about homework my whole life, so it doesn't get in the way of school," Golon said. Video gamers vary from students who play every day to those who play only on occasions. Ben Hall, Topeka junior, enjoys video games, but it is important to him that he balance all of his extracurricular activities. Hall plays NCAA Football 2003 with a group of eight friends who formed a league to play a season of football. He doesn't spend a lot of time playing video games, so he doesn't own a gaming system. "I play maybe four hours a week, but I just play whatever people have." Hall said. Feeling a bit of a release from the daily grind is what makes video games fun for Hall. "Video games are a good diversion from academia," he said, "but you can't let it run your life." — Edited by Ryan Wood JEFFERSON COMMONS unique student apartments Home is where your FRIENDS are.

Registering a new club at the University involves finding a University staff member who will advise the club and filling out the registration form at the Organization and Leadership Development Center located on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Here are some examples of clubs that have been founded to meet personal and unique interests. Activist Craft Circle Going into its third semester of existence, the members of the club do exactly as the name states. Members from various activist groups including Amnesty International, Delta Force, KU Greens and Young Democrats sit around doing crafts (mostly knitting) while discussing events. "It's a way of keeping groups in touch with each other while doing something fun," said Karen Keith, Tulsa, Okla., senior and club founder. with the highest turnout 15 people. Keith does not get frustrated because she knows that this club is made for busy, involved people. The Activist Craft Circle meets in the Kansas Union lobby from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. the first and third Monday of every month. Founder Chris Burket, Kingman sophomore, said this club had been around for nearly a year, but had not had a lot of time to promote itself. Burket said he wanted to get tables and fliers out on Parachute Club Wescoe Beach as the weather became warmer. Dan Nelson/Kansan So far, the club has only three experienced divers, but Burket said that many students have experienced their first jump with the club. No club dues are required, but students are required to pay for individual jumps. A first time jump costs $120 for training and equipment. Jumps after that cost $45 and certified jumpers pay $18 per jump. The club jumps every weekend at Skydive Kansas City in Butler, Mo. Burket's purpose behind starting the club at the University was to get the word out about the sport of skydiving and spark an interest in many first-time divers. "I think the sport and the people involved are a great group and it's a unique experience to be out in the drop zone," Burket said. Rod and Gun Club Marshall Murphy, Andover, Kan. sophomore recognized the inability to find KU students with similar interests in the great outdoors. "Mainly our whole focus is to find a hunting buddy and a fishing buddy."Murphy said. Officially starting in January, the club has 20 enlisted members. There are no dues required for the club, but, like the Parachute Club, members pay $20 for shells and targets. Owning a gun is also recommended. The club shoots at Cedar Hill Gun Club, about 10 miles south of Lawrence, and fishes at Clinton, Perry and Lone Star lakes. Murphy has visions of the Rod and Gun Club benefiting the University by sponsoring speakers from wildlife preserves to talk to KU students. He also wants to sponsor a hunter safety course that would be open to the entire campus. Jubilee Café — Edited by Anne Mantey Overland Park sophomore Ashley Stallbaumer prepares cups of orange juice for guests at the Jubilee Cafe yesterday morning. The cafe is operated by the Episcopalian ministry at the University and is located in the basement of the First United Methodist Church at 10th and Vermont streets. Volunteer opportunities abound By Erica Brittain correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent It isn't rare to see a University of Kansas student lend a hand in the Lawrence community. Volunteers can be found all over the area doing activities from cooking food for the homeless, to picking up trash in local parks and volunteering with children. Ashley Stallbaumer, Overland Park sophomore, is one of these students. She volunteers twice a week at Jubilee Café, a program that serves food to homeless people in a restaurant-style manner. "This experience forces people out of their comfort zone," Stallbaumer said. "It teaches them things that they may have not learned otherwise." The volunteer's responsibilities range from cooking the food to serving the guests. What started out as a way to earn community service hours for her sorority turned into a routine for Stallbaumer, as well as an eye-opening experience. "I take so much away from my time there," Stallbaumer said. "The guests are just like you and I. Anyone could be in their situation, and that is something that people don't think about." A less-publicized volunteer opportunity in the area is the Adopt-A-Park program. It is run by the city of Lawrence and matches volunteers with park and recreation areas to keep the facilities well-maintained and free of trash. "I got involved in the program because it is something that my fraternity has done every year." Byron Watkins, Linwood senior, said. "It is nice for parents because they can take their children to an area that is clean, and they don't have to worry about doing it themselves." The opportunities to volunteer with children are endless. From programs like Mentors in the Lives of Kids to Big Brothers Big Sisters, many students make an impact in the lives of children in Lawrence. Shannon Cline, Wichita sophomore, participates in the Mentors in the Lives of Kids program. The organization works with nine elementary schools and functions as an after-school program for the students. Volunteers working with the students give the children someone closer to their age with whom to interact. "KU is such a large part of the Lawrence community, and with this program, the kids have a strong connection to the campus." Cline said. "I know that I have a bond with the kids because I will see them around town, and they will remember me, which means a lot." These programs are always in need of new volunteers. The Big "I take so much away from my time there." Ashley Stallbaumer Overland Park sophomore and Jubilee Cafe volunteer. Brothers Big Sisters organization currently has 50 children waiting to be matched with adult mentors. The organization has a special program for KU students that commits them to volunteering only one hour per week with a child in a local school.Not only do the children reap the benefits of the relationship, but the volunteers get something out of it as well. "Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is a very satisfying relationship." said Sarah Randolph, Resource Development Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County. "It is amazing the difference a person can make focusing on a child.Many times,the hour that they are with their mentor is more than they get at home." Students who are interested in volunteering have several ways they can get involved. Sororities and fraternities usually have planned volunteer opportunities their members can take advantage of. Non-Greek students can get involved through The Center for Community Outreach, a campus organization that matches volunteers with a wide variety of programs. CCO organizers can be reached at their office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union or at cce@ku.edu. Also, for students interested in working with children, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County will be in the Union today from noon to 3 p.m. — Edited by Anne Mantey Canada Lion Tail Red Lyon Tavern b murad Rusk naturalguests beautybiz Beauty Store Salon Located at 23rd & Louisiana 841-5855 JOICO NEXUS OPI REDKEN KMS GRAHAM WEBB NIOXIN TIGI BODY PROFESSIONAL PAUL MITCHELL BIOLAGE 51464208 944 Mass. 832-8228 Everyday Prices 20% off anything* Everyday Prices 20% off anything* * Excludes sale items No double coupons Open 7 days a week • Over 10,000 items LYRIC OPERA OF KANSAS CITY PRESENTS THE ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO Updated to 1920, on the Orient Express.

The members of Electric Lettuce, Big Metal Rooster and Two Ta Tango all try to balance their time and focus where needed to make the music sound good. It's not easy when you're a full-time student and being in a band is a substantial time commitment. Some students are able to make the time commitment that comes with playing in a band work better with their schedule, while others find it a bit more challenging. Ben Archer, Topeka junior, plays drums for Big Metal Rooster, a jam-band he assembled two years ago with other KU students. Archer balances an economics major with band practices and semi-monthly gigs around Lawrence and Topeka. "Sometimes we go out-of-town on the weekdays and there are school deadlines to work around," he said. On the other hand, Connor Moore, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore who plays rhythm guitar in Electric Lettuce, a funk/soul/afro-beat band Moore formed five months ago with other students and an older Lawrence jazz drummer, said he doesn't find that playing in a band substantially affects his schedule.

The guys in Electric Lettuce play an average of six shows a month and have a regular gig at Bambino's Italian Café, 1801 Massachusetts St., every Friday night. Luis Narñio, McPherson junior, who plays guitar in the Latin-funk-jazz band Two Ta Tango admits that the time-commitment with playing in a band is hard, and being a student at the same time makes schedules more challenging, but it has its perks. "We confine our practices to once a week because we're all really busy," he said. "It fits right in because we're all music majors and we get a lot of good opportunities through school." Capitalizing on opportunities gained through school, Narnio and Two Ta Tango play two to three gigs a weekend at places like The Paradise Café, 728 Massachusetts St., The Jazzhaus, 926-1/2 Massachusettse St., and Henry T's Bar and Grill. 3250 W. Sixth St., where they make sure to play at least once a month. As for the future of Big Metal Rooster, Electric Lettuce and Two Ta Tango, Archer, Moore and Narhio are all open to any possibilities playing in their bands might create for them. Narnio said that focusing his time and efforts more seriously on his band is a definite consideration after graduation from the University. "We're all pretty much classically trained and if that's a part of our future,we'd be open to it," he said. The members of Electric Lettuce and Big Metal Rooster also see their bands blooming into more professional in the future. "We're really trying to push it a lot," said Moore. "We know we have potential and we just want to travel; ideally, we'd really like to hit the road and play places around the region in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma in addition to Kansas." Archer and Big Metal Rooster have ambitious goals for the band in the near future, but in the meantime, Archer concurs that the band is just taking it one step at a time and having a good time playing for appreciative, bouncy crowds every time they play. "We're looking at going on a small tour over the summer," he said. "Right now, though, we're just having fun playing around Lawrence because it's a good scene." Edited by Jason Elliott YOTA Coca-Cola NG The KU Dance Team performs during a game at Allen Fieldhouse. Seniors on the team danced at their last home game on March 1. Kansan file photo Dance team keeps spirit alive Seniors perform at last home game By Bob Johnson correspondent@kansan.com Kansan correspondent It was just before 10 a.m. on a blustery Saturday morning when Allison Mezger sat foot in the entryway of Allen Fieldhouse. This is it, she thought, the culmination of all the hard work and all the long hours. Mezger, Overland Park senior is a second-year member of the KU Dance Team. On March 1, she and other members stepped on to the court at Allen Fieldhouse for the last time this season, capping off the 2003 home basketball season. It was a special day; an emotional day full of exciting basketball and tear-jerking farewells, and Mezger As Mezger put it: "We create an image of school spirit. That's our job." KU basketball fans have come to expect that certain things will never change including the dance team leading the Rock Chalk Chant. "You can't find tradition like this anywhere else in the country." said Deanna Doyle, four-year member and current captain of the KU Dance Team. "When everybody yells 'woohoo!' during the alma mater it That day, like every other home game day, the KU Dance Team arrived at Allen Fieldhouse two hours early and made their rounds through the crowd in uniform, passing out crimson and blue flowers and acting out their role as liaisons for the school and the team. sends chills all through my body. Gets me every single time." ATTENTION KU STUDENTS "I had been thinking about it all game, you know, looking back on the last four years. At that point it all finally hit me — this was it," said Doyle. For Doyle, Prairie Village senior, and her fellow senior KU DanceTeammembers, Senior Day was bittersweet. Doyle said that the fact that it was their last game at Allen Fieldhouse didn't sink in until one minute was left to play and the Rock Chalk chant started. saw it all from the best seat in the house. SAFE CAR That Rock Chalk chant took on another meaning for Doyle and her companions on March 1. It served as a farewell, a final and figurative wave goodbye to the senior women of the KU Dance Team who have carved their own niche in University history and tradition. safe car Make sure you get home safely Call 864-SAFE!

However, Lillieh, Kansas City, Kan., senior, had actually just flown back from Boston, where he interviewed Adam Sandler for Maxim magazine. Lillich is one of many University of Kansas students who has spent summers and school years working at highprofile internships. Lillich has been a freelance writer for Maxim since he was 18. "An English teacher in high school turned me on to writing," Lillich said, "She had a nephew who used to work for the magazine and that kind of fast-tracked me into the job." Networking also proved influential in landing a job for Janie Gist, Omaha, Neb., senior, at Bragman Nyman Cafarelli Public Relations and Marketing, one of the largest public relations firms on the West Coast. Gist acquired the internship through a friend of a friend who worked for the company. She was one of six unpaid interns that Bragman picks each year to learn about public relations. For two months last summer, Gist lived in Los Angeles, coordinating celebrities' event schedules for the company. Both Lillich and Gist enjoyed the perks of working with celebrities in their jobs. "I had to open fan mail and gifts from designers." Gist said. "I got so many celebrity gifts it was unreal." Lillich flew to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to interview Sammy Hagar and to Colorado during winter break to shadow the Colorado Rescue Ski Team, part of a profile piece on one of the toughest jobs in the world. Molly McMurray, St. Joseph, Mo., junior, hoped her connections would help her land a White House internship. McMurray's best friend was a White House intern last "I had to open fan mail and gifts from designers.I got so many celebrity gifts it was unreal." Janie Gist Omaha, Neb., senior, and former intern for Braggman Nynnam Cafarelli Public Relations and Marketing summer and gave her the idea of applying. After filling out a lengthy application and getting three recommendations, McMurray, a political science major, interviewed with a representative by phone. The interviewer asked McMurray whether she voted for the president and why she wanted to work in the office of a public liaison. "My heart was pounding a little," McMurray said. "Especially when I got the message on my phone saying the White House had called." McMurray felt her work with the Student Legislative Awareness Board and her previous internship at a law firm would help her get the job. She said the glamour of working at the White House wasn't what made her apply "It's not about being in a high profile job, but for me it's more about going out there and working as hard as I can," she said. Gist and McMurray agreed that an internship was helpful for a successful career in their fields. Gist said she learned the most by being in a professional environment where she listened and watched her bosses work. She said connections. confidence and a little knowledge of the company were helpful tools to land a job or internship. "People in human resources get so many applications," Gist said. "Call the person in the company whose position you want to do because they have such a stronger voice than you ever will." Edited by Christy Den durent Risky underage drinking persists Krager DL Virginia By Mindy Osborne correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Bv.Mindv Osborne A mosaic of confiscated driver's licenses, both real and fake, covers a wall at Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St. Drinking alcohol remains a popular activity for students, including those younger than 21. Aaron Showalter/Kansan The battle lines have been drawn for quite sometime in the perpetually heated issue of underage drinking. While those who oppose it have the law on theirside, some thirsty minors are still determined to drink. The issue is even more prevalent in Lawrence, considering much less than half the students here are 21 and every block seems to have a liquor store or bar. So why do these young adults cling so dearly to their Jack Daniels and Jose Cuervos? And who exactly composes this body of law breakers? From hippies to sorority girls, it's a broad range of students who have one common goal: to have fun. In a survey distributed at Corbin Residence Hall for this story, the 50 students who responded each said they drank and had been doing so since at least high school. The results also showed that most respondents went out three to four nights a week, drank all of those nights and either went to bars, friends' houses or fraternities. An overwhelming majority possessed a fake ID. There were many different answers as to why underaged When asked how they obtained one, the response was either from a friend, an ID store or a relative. the group "Drinking is part of the college experience," Jesse White, Winfield freshman said. "I don't have a fake ID but it's bad because that's what the social scene revolves around at KU." One respondent said they obtained one when finding it on the ground at a bar. "Drinking is part of the college experience." Jesse White Winfield freshman people drank. From, "to be social" to "it's fun and I like how it feels" to "hang out and chill" and even "to keep up with my boyfriend." But not everyone feels that drinking is necessary to have fun. Megan Fox, Woodlands, Texas, freshman, said alcohol was not for her. "My family has a history of alcoholism." Fox said. "I've seen what it can do to people and how it can destroy their lives and I don't want to be a part of that." Despite the fact that those who don't drink are more of a minority on campus, there are still many organizations on campus to persuade students otherwise, such as Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol (GAMMA) and Hawk Nights. Another project in the works is the Alcohol Education Work Group, headed by Diana Robertson, assistant director of student housing. Formed last fall at the request of the interim vice provost of student affairs, the group meets weekly and is gathering information to start a comprehensive alcohol education program for residential areas at KU. While still in the planning stages, Robertson said the group was realistic about issues related to alcohol and wanted to promote moderation and group safety. The biggest opponent of underage drinking is the police force. Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Police Department said they fought underage' drinking through both education and enforcement. "We begin early at New Student Orientation, where we outline the ramifications and information concerning underage drinking." Bailey said. "We also provide literature on the Boulevard during Hawk Nights and are available for any group presentation." As for the enforcement side, the University of Kansas Drug and Alcohol policy outlines,"It is illegal for anyone under 21 years of age to possess, purchase attempt to purchase or consume alcoholic liquor anywhere within the state." If the law is broken, the offender risks a fine between $300 to $600, a court date, probation and diversion. Edited by Ryan Wood Bar jobs offer flexibility and spare cash Bartenders trade partying for tips By Melissa Catron correspondence@kansan.com Kansan correspondent Not all college students out at the bars are on the party wagon. Some students inhale the smoke as they serve other students the nightly special. Bartending offers flexible hours and good pay making it an ideal job for college students. Chris Sams, McPherson senior, is a bartender at its Brothers Bar & Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St. He said bartending was a great job although it does mean giving up a night or two of partying Although Sams works two different jobs, his flexible schedule allows him to juggle his schedule well. Many bartenders get their jobs by seniority. Eli Augustine, Shawnee senior, works at The Library, 729 Massachusetts St. He said he had to work two and a half years at the bar before he was offered the bartender position. Augustine began working the door as a bouncer and slowly moved his way up. He said the job he had now was his favorite. "It is the best college job," Augustine said. Not all bartenders have to start at the bottom, however. Tracy Portnoy, Chicago senior is also a bartender at The Library. She said she was hired without much training to man the bar but said her situation was rare. "I was hired as a bartender. There wasn't really any training, but most bars you work your way up," she said. Even though it's difficult for most people to become bartenders, starting at the bottom is worth it for the money. Bartenders can make any where between $30 to $200 a night, depending on how busy the bar is. Sams is graduating in May and plans on saving his money for a trip to Europe. Portnoy uses her money on food, clothes and alcohol. Both bartenders said that the job was great, but what makes it better was when people remember that most of the money they earn doesn't come from their paychecks. As the jar on the bar counter reads, "Don't forget to tip you bartenders." — Edited by Michelle Burhenn CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES Part-time, day shifts available Are you looking for an opportunity where you can make a difference?

Laurence "Larry" Chalmers. As chancellor from 1969 to 1972, Chalmers dealt with the Vietnam War protests, the civil rights movement and the women's feminist movement. Because of his actions to each, he is remembered in different lights. Last night and 30 years after his term, it was the undertaking of Student Senate to decide where it stood in remembering the former chancellor. In a majority vote, Senate failed a recommendation for a petition to name the new student recreation center after Chalmers, one of the only chancellors who doesn't have a building named after them. Chalmers, who lives in Durango, Colo., said before the meeting that even if the bill didn't pass, he was still honored by the students' efforts. Senate's reasons for failing the recommendation had been heard before. Loren Malone, student body vice president, went to get firsthand information from Emily Taylor, dean of women from 1956 to 1975 and name-sake of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. After hearing what Taylor said about Chalmers, Malone opposed the recommendation. Taylor, 87, served as chairwoman of the panel presentation, titled "The Chalmers Years," at the Watkins Community Museum of History Tuesday morning. She wore a pin that said, "This is what a feminist looks like." The presentation gathered firsthand sources who were present during Chalmers' years. Some of them were inside the rooms where Chalmers had to make some big decisions. Taylor said she wasn't allowed in. In fact, Taylor sat outside the chancellor's suite with other February Sisters to pressure Chalmers to grant the feminist group their requests: a female vice chancellor, affirmative action enforcement, a day care center, a civil rights commission, a women's studies department and better women's health care at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Those demands were met with Taylor's help but not fast enough, she said. Taylor criticized Chalmers' inaction. SEE CHALMERS ON PAGE 5A Senate approves program to start after spring break By Nikki Overfelt overfelt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer More KU students will have the option of biking on campus after springbreak. A bill passed last night to fund a $6,945 trial yellow bike program. The bill was sponsored by Your Elected Leaders Lending Out Wheels. The yellow bike program would allow 90 randomly chosen student applicants to pay $10 and sign a waiver to participate in the program for the rest of the semester. They would be allowed to ride the 30 yellow 12-speed bikes around campus. The same kind of program has been successful implemented at other universities and should be a success at the University as well, said Kyle Johnson, Y.E.L.L.O.W. president and engineering senator. Johnson said applications for the trial program were not available yet but would be soon either online or in the Student Senate office. "I think lots of students are going to benefit from it," he said. "I definitely see this as something that will continue far into the future." Lab assistants maintain order SEE YELLOW ON PAGE 5A By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students masked in safety goggles ask him whether he has a mop for a small chemical spill in a laboratory. But he is not the professor. Matt Seger, Newton junior, works in the chemistry stockroom. Though it's a job that often goes unnoticed, the stockroom ensures that chemistry labs run smoothly for 1,000 students. "It's kind of a thankless job," Seger said. "Some students take it for granted." "It's very hard for one instructor to get all the labs set up and teach the class," Teague said. Susan Teague, department of chemistry business manager, said there were usually 1,000 students for general chemistry, with most labs having 20 students. The employees' tasks include laboratory set-up, chemical preparation for experiments and handing back graded exams, Teague said. Bruce Johnston is one of two full-time laboratory education technicians who manages the three stockrooms for the chemistry department. He also supervises Seger. Johnston's workday begins at 6:30 a.m. to prepare for the 7:30 a.m. labs. In his 31 years as an employee of the chemistry department, Johnston doesn't recall anything that has gone too terribly wrong in the stockroom "I want uneventful experiences," Johnston said. "We try not to have anything eventful happen here." Richard Givens, professor of chemistry, said the stockroom was a crucial aid to him as a teacher. "They give faculty members time to spend on things they really need to spend time on, like planning experiments, planning for lectures and getting organized," Givens said. Seger admits that a downside to the job can often be the smell coming from the labs across the hall or even the chemicals in the stockroom. "Sometimes I take a break and walk up and down the hallway to clear my head." Seger said. The end of the semester can also be tricky for the stockroom. That's when the stockroom collects bills from students for broken equipment throughout the semester. "Students are really nice when they ask for things," Seger said. "They can get mean when we tell them their lab bill is due at the end of the semester." Seger is majoring in journalism and has had only a couple chemistry classes. "Luckily I didn't need that much science background," Seger said. "I learned on the job all the things I needed to know." "They are key people in the department for sure," Teague said. "Without them the lab classes could not run smoothly." The image shows a person standing in front of a large storage cabinet filled with numerous labeled drawers. The person is smiling and appears to be in a well-lit room, possibly an office or library setting. There are no other discernible elements in the foreground that provide additional context. Although they remain behind the scenes, stockroom workers are essential for the operation of the department. Edited by Julie Jantzer Matt Seger, Newton junior, sits in his office, the chemistry lab stockroom. He has worked at his position of lab aide in Mallott Hall since his freshman year. Courtney Kuhlen/Kanser Rain, hail hits campus inhn Nowak/Kansan Nathan Bushue, Overland Park junior, watches rain and hail smother the campus last night from the safety of the Wescoe Hall overhang. Power was momentarily knocked out on campus around 7p.m. because of the sudden storm. Protesting the War on Drugs By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer As students have been gathering in front of Wescoe Beach to protest the probable war with Iraq, another KU organization is now protesting a different war. "Water pipes on Wescoe!" said Chase Cookson, president of KU Students for a Sensible Drug Policy. "You can smoke your tobacco in there!" According to its mission statement, the organization is dedicated to the eradication of human rights violations and encroachment of civil liberties caused by current drug enforcement techniques and policies in the war on drugs. Cookson, Wichita junior, started the University's organization last year, which has 200 chapters nationwide. He said it was strongly opposed to the Higher Education Act, which denies federal funding to those with prior drug arrests. "You can murder someone and get a Pell Grant, but you can't smoke a joint and get a Pell Grant." Cookson said. A Pell Grant is a federal loan from the government generally given to undergraduate students. "You can murder someone and get a Pell grant, but you can't smoke a joint and get a Pell grant." Chase Cookson President of KU Students for a Sensible Drug Policy Cookson said the organization was sponsoring a free showing of the 1999 documentary Grass, narrated by Woody Harrelson, at 7:00 p.m. today at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. "This movie does a good job of showing how the drug laws are based on non-factual information," Cookson said. Blake Thomas, KU graduate and Lawrence resident, said the movie opened his eyes. Cookson and members from the organization have been selling $1 raffle tickets for a 1-foot colored glass water "Whenever I see these new marijuana commercials on TV, I want to cringe," Thomas said about the anti-drug campaigns. "It's scary that some people might believe the message in them." "We are hoping to buy a vinyl sign with money from the raffle and to just promote the organization," Cookson said. Cookson said approximately 15 people were involved with the organization so far. pipe this week in front of Wescoe Hall. "You know how it goes, sometimes people come, and sometimes they don't." he said. The organization plans on having a rally as part of the Million Marijuana March in early May and hosting a medical marijuana user forum later in the year. "We are bringing a guy that can actually bring his government-issued weed on campus, and it would be legal," he said. Cookson said George McCann, the speaker, was one of the few remaining medical marijuana users left after the government shut down the program in 1992 "It would be good to show people a person who is dying and his only medication is marijuana," he said.

The family of Whitley Austin, former editor and publisher of the Salina Journal, donated the money to the University to establish the Whitley and Mary Frances Austin Graduate Fellowship. Whitey's son, Danforth Austin, his wife, Mary Frances Austin, and his daughter, Catherine Austin Roberts, supplied the donation. Jen Humphrey, development editor for KU Endowment, said the donation would benefit the University. "Graduate fellowships are among our goals for the KU First campaign," Humphrey said. The money will likely be used to aid in the recruitment of graduate students who can improve the school in roles such as teaching, aiding a faculty member in research or managing a computer lab, James Gentry, dean of journalism said. —Henry C.Jackson LAWRENCE One woman and four men, all from Emporia, were arrested and charged yesterday afternoon in the beating of Josh Greemore of Mayetta. Five people arrested in Lawrence beating Greemore, 21, was found unconscious on a road on the outskirts of Riverfront Park early Monday morning. Three of the men, Jeremy Harris James Keezer and Scott Staggs were charged with attempted first degree murder. All five were charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. Bail for Harris, Keezer and Staggs was set at $500,000. The remaining two suspects, Leslie Howe and Sara Bruce, have a bond of $300,000. Lawrence Police Department detectives arrested Howe and Harris after they were detained by Sheriff's deputies in Greenwood County, south of Emporia. Detectives found the other three people in a home in rural Leavenworth County. Detectives concluded Greemore was the victim of a robbery, and was then "beaten, bound and left for dead" according to a Lawrence police press release. Sgt. Mike Pattrick said Greemore was discovered by a passing motorist, and evidence and weapons consistent with Greemore's injuries had been recovered by police. — Erin Ohm STATE Wichita State eliminates programs it can't afford WICHITA — Wichita State University said state budget problems had forced it to eliminate two programs and suspend a third, with the possibility that more cuts may occur. The cuts are in addition to other measures already announced after a 3.9 percent decrease in state funding in 2002. And department heads are preparing for as much as a 7 percent decrease this year. "We're going to be in a situation where we probably won't be able to meet students' needs," said Robert Kindrick, vice president for academic affairs, when asked about the effects of a possible 7 percent decrease in state funding. "All I can say right now is, we're waiting for the final figures, and then we'll see where we go." Changes made so far include the suspension of a paramedic training program and the dropping of a bachelor of arts degree with a major in ethnic studies, although students will still be able to earn a minor in the field. Six students currently pursuing the major will be able to get their degrees. The W. Frank Barton School of Business will end a program that trained students to be legal assistants. Dean John Beehler said the decision was the best use of the school's resources.

Applicants' fates will be decided by, among others, their future roommates. Scholarship hall residents have the opportunity to attend meetings and give input into the selection of future residents. Students meet once a week for an hour to read and score submitted scholarship hall applications. Students are given this opportunity because the scholarship halls' living arrangements are based on cooperation and communal living, said Dan Suitor, scholarship hall complex director. sense." Suitor said. "In the spirit of the scholarship halls themselves it just makes Jennifer Overstreet, orientation and selections chair for the All Scholarship Hall Council and Maize junior, said it was important for residents to have this opportunity. "In the scholarship hall community we have a very close environment," she said. "It is important to make sure future residents have the right qualities for communal living." When scoring the applications, the residents look for wellrounded students who will work well with others and preform their required shifts responsibly. Evan Stange, Wichita sophomore, participates in the meetings, and he said it was a privilege and his responsibility. Stange said there were good and bad applications, but it was fun to read them all. "Sometimes you get really funny ones and you can read them out loud with everyone else that's there," Stange said. During the meetings, the group tries to read through 40 application files. Each application file includes three essays and two letters of recommendation. Suitor said more weight was put on letters from teachers or employers than on the essays because the letters could accurately describe the students' work ethic and responsibility. Each application must be read and scored by three students before it is returned to the housing department to be scored by Suitor and Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director of student housing. Suitor said administrators' scores were no more important than the students' decisions. Edited by Amber Byarlay Film festival promotes Brazilian culture By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com kansan staff writer The Center of Latin American Studies and the department of Spanish and Portuguese are sponsoring the first annual Brazilian Film Festival beginning today. They will show the Brazilian film Orfeu at 3 p.m. today at 318 Bailey Hall. "I felt it was a good time to show this movie," said Dovis Pollock, director of the film festival and Portuguese graduate teaching assistant. "It has to do with Carnaval, which just happened in Brazil on the 4th." Pollock said Carnaval was similar to Mardi Gras in the United States. Orfeu is the contemporary retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The film celebrates the culture of Rio de Janeiro with spectacular scenes of Carnaval. It is based on the play by Brazilian writer Vinicius de Moraes and also inspired Marcel Camus's 1959 film Black Orpheus. Pollock said the movie was in Portuguese but had English subtitles. "The people that usually come out to these movies are usually people taking a Portuguese class, people in Latin American studies and people interested in filmmaking." Pollock said. Ryan Zorad, KU graduate in film, said he tried to watch as many good foreign films as possible. "Those foreign directors are coming from a different angle, different background," Zorad said. "You can learn something in those movies that you may be able to use." Pollock said the organizations would show a different movie the second Thursday of each month. They plan on showing the comedy Bossa Nova and Auto de Compadecicl a in April and May. "This is the first time that we have done this," Pollock said. "If there is a good response, we plan on continuing it."

With the institution of a new minor in peace and conflict studies last month, KU students can start locally and move on to the international scene with this promise of a significantly broadened international experience and educational opportunities. This minor is applicable in today's world. The peace and conflict studies minor will both educate and empower students, not only by expanding their views of the world, but also by enabling them to take meaningful action in it. By studying the various ways conflict has originated and then has been addressed and resolved, students will be more able to understand conflict on a wider scope and will gain valuable insight into international and domestic relations. The department of Humanities and Western Civilization is offering this multi-disciplinary minor, which begs to be combined with many current courses of study, from anthropology to English to religious studies to sociology. Students can easily and beneficially expand their majors and their minds at the same time. With similar programs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University of Missouri-Columbia and the University of Notre Dame, the Midwest is becoming the powerhouse of peace and conflict studies We can make a difference, and the University has given students more opportunities to do so. And we can start today.

Yes, that is the social definition of our F-word -feminism, of course! Unfortunately, that is at least how society has wrongfully and maliciously labeled the term. One would assume though, that at an educational institution such as the University of Kansas, such a closed-minded and uninformed view would not be prevalent. Yet it is. The KU Female Student Needs Survey was conducted in the spring of 2002 to report on what female students thought about their needs and safeties and to ensure that women's voices were heard on campus. Surprisingly, in response to the question of this survey, "Do you consider yourself a feminist?" only 36 percent responded with yes. But the majority agreed that gender issues such as lack of equity in pay existed and were unfair Dictionaries define feminism as the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes. Individual definitions of feminism are as diverse as feminists themselves. Fouzia Haq opinion@kansan.com Whether you are anti-abortion or for abortion rights, male or female, conservative or liberal - it is undeniable that injustices regarding gender exist. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every-where." GUEST COMMENTARY Feminists have relentlessly fought not only for gender inequalities but many other social injustices such as, abolishing slavery,the right to vote, child-labor and child-abuse legislation,birth control, civil rights of minorities and women, welfare reform, conservation of natural resources, workplace safety and fair labor standards. The diversity of these issues is quite indicative of the diversity among feminism, whether it is in demographics or ideology. To clarify, feminists are male or female, from any socioeconomic status, age, religion, culture, sexual preference, etc. Ideologically, feminism is stratified Different feminists take different routes to learning about and actively advocating issues. I cannot tell you which approach is right. If you are opposed to social inequalities, I challenge you to educate yourself and then — and only then — define what feminism means to you. The Commission on the Status of Women will be distributing buttons that say, "This is what a feminist looks like," on Wescoe Beach and in the Kansas Union for the rest of the month, Women's History Month. I challenge you to wear the button proudly throughout the month As concerned citizens in a society dedicated to equality, together we must revive the true and progressive meaning of feminism. Only through unity can we fight for equality. Dale Spender, a prolific author of feminist works, said, "Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions ... for safety on the streets ... for child care, for social welfare ... for rape crisis centers, women's refuges, reforms in the law. (If someone says) 'Oh, I'm not a feminist,' (I ask) 'Why not?'" Haq is a Kansas City, Mo., senior in psychology and communication studies. She is president of the Commission on the Status of Women.

I would like to make note of a national news broadcast which announced that the House — yes, our government's House — has decided to change the name of French fries and French toast to "freedom fries" and "freedom toast." Yet another example of how Americans are the belligerent teenagers of the world. PERSPECTIVE Gender differences prevent true equality One hundred and fifty years ago, such eminent first wave feminists as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott (among many others) lobbied for basic rights such as university admission, the right to own property, and the right to vote. First Wave feminists had realistic, achievable goals. Their vision was not absolute equal gender parity in every profession and aspect of life. They simply wanted fair treatment. "We ask no better laws than those you have made for yourselves," Cady Stanton said while addressing the New York State legislature in 1864. "We need no other protection than that which your present laws secure to you." GUEST COMMENTARY Arrah Nielsen opinion@kansan.com Were Cady Stanton and Mott alive today, they would surely be astounded at the progress women have made since the 19th century. Their goals of suffrage and property rights seem quaint when you consider that women are running Fortune 500 companies and states. Females in America can do any job they are qualified to do and even some they are not, such as being firemen. I am not a lawyer. I cannot answer any questions about the case. I will use the provided text to generate a response as much as possible, but I will not add any content that is not clearly visible or legible. The objectives of First Wavers have been met and even exceeded. But if society is so fair and equitable today, why The obvious fact is that women give birth and lactate and men do not. Women more so than men take time out from their careers to raise children and they express a willingness to do so. Thus feminists and liberals alike make the case for greater flexibility in the workforce, government sponsored childcare and mandatory paid maternity leave. This seems reasonable enough, as it would allow women to pursue their careers without being penalized for having children. Europe has much more generous benefits for working parents, such as a shortened work week, government sponsored childcare and mandatory paid leave. There are all sorts of neat programs the government could offer if money and productivity were not an issue, but money and productivity are an issue. Children are not the only reason we see fewer women than men in high-ranking positions. In you accept that men and women are different, these differences extend beyond mere sexual plumbing, but are rooted in the brain and in evolution. It would follow that women, on average, have different natures and make different choices when presented with the same opportunities. The problem is that these policies are so expensive; employers cannot afford to hire anybody. That is why Western European unemployment rates are so much higher than the United States. Additionally, their birthrate is below replacement level. Government sponsored childcare frees parents to work to pay taxes to pay for government sponsored childcare. Certainly social conditioning is influential, but it is hardly the full story. Women, on average are more nurturing and less ambitious and aggressive than men. Aggressiveness and ambition are the sorts of characteristics it takes to rise in a patriarchy. Because fewer women than men possess these characteristics, we see fewer women at the highest rungs of the ladder. Disparity does not always mean discrimination. Sex discrimination in this society is like syphilis. It exists and it is nasty, but it is not pandemic or a tremendous problem. Those who hold a sort of transgendered vision for society in which men and women are as interchangeable as Lincoln Logs are destined to be disappointed, not because of the pervasiveness of sexism in society but because of the pervasiveness of sexual differences. This is not necessarily a bad thing. As biologist and author Matt Ridley aptly put it in The Red Queen "Difference is not inequality." 14. Nielsen is a Wichita junior in biological anthropology. 市 THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5A Chalmers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A "People have talked about the effectiveness of doing nothing, of sitting in a closed room and doing nothing," she said. "That in my opinion was the biggest problem." When Taylor was sitting outside the closed room, the fellow February Sisters took over the old East Asian Studies building to demand a day care center. Their overnight sit-in proved successful even though Chalmers and the senate executive committee turned off the building's water and electricity during the Febru- arv cold, Chalmers said. Marilyn Stokstad, February Sister and distinguished professor, isn't a Chalmers fan. But she said Chalmers did a great job in calming students during the Vietnam protests. As far as women were concerned, he was a very bad chancellor, she said. Capt. Joe Marzluff was in charge of the ROTC program during the Chalmers years. He was also at the presentation. "I'm one of the few people who think Larry Chalmers was the right person at the right time to be here in Lawrence in charge of the University of Kansas," he said. "He would sit there, hold hands, talk about things for hours on end, and by that time the crisis was over," he said. Tommy Bobo, Fine Arts senator, attended the presentation and sponsored the recommendation at Senate. Marzluff said Chalmers' inde- cisiveness regarding the Vietnam War protests was good because more people would have been killed if the University had a stronger, more decisive leader. "Any comment that you would make about him — about his best of times and his worst of times — are due to his indecisiveness." Bobo said. When at the University of Florida, Chalmers appointed the first female assistant dean of faculty. He said he did this not because she was a woman but because she was qualified. "The criticism that I was not as proactive as I could have been is probably a valid observation," Chalmers said. Yellow CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A In regards to the February Sisters demands, Chalmers said he probably would have gotten around to them. "I was only here for three years," he said jokingly. A turbulent three they were. The members of Y.E.L.L.O.W. addressed questions and concerns about the bike program at the meeting, which caused at least two senators, David Mitchell, graduate student senator, and Adam Obley, holdover senator, to change their votes in favor of program. Kit Brauer, holdover senator, is still opposed to the program. Edited by Julie Jantzer "The KU student body has never shown a commitment to cycling because of the topography of the campus," Brauer said. In other news: Previously, once a senator had deferred speaking privileges to a nonsenator, senate Student Senate passed a bill that would allow students who are not in Senate to be able to speak without opposition. members could object to the student speaking. But now the Senate will not have that option. Scott McKenzie, CLAS senator, said this would decrease the barriers for student voices to be heard.

Student Senate passed a resolution to support the immediate construction of a new Multicultural Resource Center.

Of course, one of those publications was Good Housekeeping, which no doubt had to take time out from its intense coverage of diet tips and PMS remedies Nonetheless, the University does offer its students a quality education. It's just hard to remember that when we're faced with yet another tuition increase this fall. But what have we always learned to do when our pockets turn up penniless? That's right —borrow it. Students who can no longer afford their Ramen noodles take note: The financial aid office, located at 150 Strong, will be accepting federal financial aid applications through June 30. COMMON CENTS 1890 1900 1920 1940 1960 Although the priority date of March 1 has passed, Stephanie Covington, associate director of the financial aid office, said students should still apply. The priority date for the State of Kansas Student Aid Application is April 1. Nicole Roche nnicole@kansan.com "Get them in as soon as possible," Covington said. "Of course the earlier you can apply the better." The financial aid office presented students with more than $1 million for the 2001-2002 year. Covington said. Whether a grant, loan or scholarship, 53 percent of students received some form of financial aid through the University. The first step toward receiving financial aid is filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, in the financial aid office or at fasfa.ed.gov. Students will have to obtain a PIN at www.pin.ed.gov to file the application. The application is a 99-question form that can help determine what financial assistance, if any, the student can receive. The student's parents complete 25 of the questions, which mainly concern income and tax information. If students qualify, they will be sent a Student Aid Report which should be reviewed and corrected if need be. Once this is taken care of, the financial aid office will send the students a financial award letter. Covington said a major factor that determined a student's eligibility was the expected family contribution. Federal processors take a student's estimated cost of attendance and subtract the expected family contribution to determine financial need. If a student's dad is Bill Gates, for example, he won't see a dime. Covington also encouraged wealthy students to apply just in case. She said she had seen several times when a parent had withdrawn support for the student. "Sometimes there's an argument or grades didn't come back as expected," she said. The financial aid office can process a student's aid application much quicker if it's already on file, Covington said. Students can decline the aid if they end up not needing it, Covington said. But who's going to turn away money? Each week reporter Nicole Roché covers a different consumer issue. She is a Wichita senior in journalism. Graphic design student sculpts, draws handy works By Megan Hickerson hickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer 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. Give Michelle Agustin a hand for her art achievements, and she will draw it. Faces in the Crowd Agustin, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, helped sculpt a 7- foot-tall sculpture of hands last summer. Agustin worked alongside 15 other art students to complete the masterpiece. groups; sculpture, silk painting, music and mural. Because she had never sculpted before, she worked under the direction of art teachers at Studio 150 - a student/community art organization based in Kansas City, Mo. The students split into four Agustin questioned her $7 per hour pay as she began sculpting in the sun. "We worked in tents in downtown Kansas City." Agustin said. "It sucked working in the heat. I almost passed out a couple of times." The completed statue now stands in Bartle Hall, 301 W. 13th St., Kansas City, Mo. Just because her work at Studio 150 is over doesn't mean that her work with hands is done. Agustin is a graphic design major but is considering taking some sculpture classes at the University of Kansas. "I have a thing for hands," Agustin said. "Hands are so beautiful. Lots of people have hand infatuations." She said hands were the most difficult body part to draw — that's why she began working with them. Getting skin to look real and drawing knuckles challenges her. Agustin notices hands everywhere she goes. She often looks at a person's hand before she looks at his face. "I always look underneath people's nails," she said. Agustin said her boyfriend, Lance Bower, had perfect hands. Although she has drawn his portrait, she has never drawn just his hands. "She's always been interested in hands and gestures," said Bower of Kansas City, Mo. "It's really not some crazy fetish." Agustin can finish a hand sketch in only 10 minutes. However, a detailed drawing can take her up to three hours to complete. Although Agustin attributes her flawless fingers to moisturizers and nail files, she isn't a fan of manicures and treatments. "That stuff isn't for me," Agustin said. "I'm an 'au naturel' girl." Edited by Andrew Ward Dan Nelson/Kansan Michelle Agustin, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, shows off one or her drawings in her residence hall room. Agustin worked on a group sculpture last summer in Kansas City, Mo., that sold for $1,500. IT’S YOUR APARTMENT. YOU CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE IN IT.

From people assuming he's polygamous to overhearing people comment that Mormons don't believe in the Bible, Kittle can't believe his ears when he hears claims and questions like these. "We believe in Christ," Kittle said. The main difference between his faith and other Christian faiths is the Mormon belief in three additional scriptures, The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, Kittle said. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints consider these books complementary to the Bible. The Book of Mormon is another account of Christ and a collection of prophets' writings. It includes the stories of ancient prophets, including Lehi, who lived in Jerusalem about 600 B.C. God told Lehi to take a small group of people to the American continent, according to the Website www.mormons.org, a site dedicated to answering questions regarding the Mormon faith. Because these books present information about Christ that goes beyond the Bible, many practices and beliefs vary from individual to individual. "Basically, we all have a freedom of choice," said Emily Fotheringham, a Lawrence resident and member of the Lawrence University Ward. Fotheringham said she didn't drink alcohol, tea or coffee because of a passage in The Doctrine and Covenants. Mormons views of marriage and the afterlife are slightly different than most main stream forms of Christianity, which traditionally state vows such as "til death do us part." "We believe if you're married in the temple," Fotheringham said, "then you are married for all eternity." One of the most popular misconceptions of Mormons centers on the issue of polygamy. The church officially rejected polygamy in 1890 because of pressure from the government and a revelation given to then-President of the church, Wilford Woodruff, but until then many Mormons practiced it openly. While the Mormons believe in heaven and hell, they also believe in various levels of heaven that people can achieve according to how they lead their lives. And just because someone didn't hear about Christ during his lifetime doesn't mean he will go to hell. "We believe everyone will have an equal opportunity to accept Christ after death," Fotheringham said. Mormons also believe in living prophets and apostles who receive revelations from God today. Kittle cited Gordon B. Hinckley, current head of the Church, as a living prophet. There are four wards or churches in Lawrence that practice the teaching of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, including the Lawrence University Ward at the Lawrence Institute of Religion, 1629 W. 19th St. The service at the Lawrence Institute of Religion breaks down into three one-hour sections, including an hour for Elder's Quorum and Relief Society, in which the men and women split up to discuss servicing the community and helping out the church. Elder's Quorum President Ezra Hallam, Ames, Iowa senior, said the members of the Quorum try to visit every member of their Church at least once a month. As a chemistry major, Hallam has seen conflict between his beliefs and what he is taught in some science classes. "I've learned how to separate secular and clerical things," Hallam said. "When I'm in class I'll give the right answer but that doesn't mean they can make me believe." Both Hallam and Kittle have worked as missionaries for their faith locally and abroad. Hallam did missionary work in Uruguay, and Kittle worked in Brazil. Both men were gone for two years. In Lawrence, they will sometimes go out with the missionaries assigned to work in Lawrence. "It can be very difficult," Hallam said. "It can also be very rewarded." - Edited by Ryan Wood (1) Photo courtesy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Kansas House gives first approval to abortion standards bill The Associated Press TOPEKA — The House gave first-round approval to a bill regulating abortion clinics after rejecting attempts by abortion rights supporters to rewrite the measure. The 77-44 vote put the bill in position for a final vote today. which could send the measure to the Senate. The bill would require the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to set minimum health and safety standards for the seven Kansas clinics performing abortions. Proponents said the standards would protect women. But critics remained skeptical because backers of the bill opposed abortion, and the measure's passage is the main legislative goal this year of Kansans for Life, the state's largest anti-abortion group. Abortion rights supporters contended that the bill was designed to make operating a clinic too expensive. Abortion rights supporters offered proposed changes they said would prevent the state from targeting abortion providers. Rep. Judy Loganbill (D-Wichita) attempted to change the bill so violations of KDHE's regulation would subject clinics and individuals to fines, rather than to prosecution for a misdemeanor. Under the bill, KDHE would 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.

Judge denies players participation The Associated Press ATHENS, Ga. — Two Georgia basketball players sued yesterday for the right to play in the conference and NCAA tournaments, but a judge quickly denied their request for a temporary restraining order. The university pulled out of the tournaments Monday after an investigation showed evidence of Starters Ezra Williams and Steven Thomas asked that the school be compelled to try to play in the tournaments. The suit names the school, the board of regents and the university athletics association. Tooten. That would be too late for Georgia, since the Southeastern Conference tournament will be finished Sunday and the NCAA tournament field will be announced later that day. Judge David Sweat denied the temporary restraining order but scheduled a hearing for Monday, according to his clerk, Sophia The Bulldogs were supposed to meet Arkansas on Thursday in the SEC tournament at New Orleans. Instead, the conference rearranged its brackets, giving Tennessee a first-round bye and scheduling only three games instead of four on the opening day. School president Michael Adams and athletic director Vince Dooley announced Monday that the No.21 Bulldogs' season was over because two players committed academic fraud in a class taught by coach Jim Harrick's son. Dooley said the school had found no evidence that Harrick was directly involved.

THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 9A Malashock CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A started one junior, two sophomores and two freshmen all year. She has no seniors, so everyone will return. They have endless potential. Hallman needs to become more vocal, but her ball-handling and passing skills impress. Ransburg is a future All-American if she curbs her foul troubles and learns to play more under control. Kemp could eventually average a double-double. Waltz has leadership qualities to build on, and sophomore guard Aquanita Burras is as fast off the dribble as any Big 12 guard. Also, don't forget about recruit Lauren Ervin, a 6-foot-2 high school All-American who chose Kansas over tradition-rich Tennessee. Point is, the Jayhawks were never comfortable this season, barring stretches like yesterday's opening minutes. The season was an ongoing teaching lesson During the season, she simplified schemes to get by. One year of tutelage will do this team wonders. for Washington. If it doesn't, and Kansas improves only a few games or so in the Big 12, Bohl won't have to think twice to take action. But she at least merits the opportunity to earn herself a permanent future a Kansas. Malashock is a Omaha, Neb., senior in journalism. Big 12 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A son averaging 21.7 points per game. Emmett is deceptively strong and possesses an excellent midrange game. Odds of Red Raider championship: Coach Bobby Knight has announced he will not accept his salary this season because of the disappointing play of his team. The Red Raiders probably need to get to at least the championship game to have a shot at the NCAA tournament. That means Texas Tech must defeat Texas on Friday if the Red Raiders can get by Baylor today. Iowa State (15-12, 5-11) Who to watch: Senior gunner Jake Sullivan is the top offensive weapon for coach Larry Eustachy. Sullivan can get hot in the tournament, and he would love an opportunity to upset Kansas tomorrow. Odds of a Cyclone championship: The Cyclones struggled all season long, and losing at Kansas State to close out the season provides little hope for this team. Even with the loss to the Wildcats, Iowa State proved it was capable with a 16-point victory over Missouri in the last week of Texas A&M (14-13,6-10) Who to watch: Senior guard Bernard King is the do-everything man for the Aggies. King is averaging 16.9 points per game this season, and he is the Big 12's all-time leading scorer. Odds of an Aggie championship: The Aggies will be playing in their home state, and Melvin Watkins' team was tough at home all year long including a victory in College Station, Texas, against Missouri. Baylor(14-13,5-11) who to watch: Lawrence Roberts is the Bears' top offensive performer. Roberts, a sophomore, was named to the Big 12 third team on the merits of his explosive inside-out game. Odds of a Bear championship: Baylor is one of the youngest teams in the conference, and coach Dave Bliss' squad has shown its youth after many predicted the team would finish in the middle of the conference. The bears finished below these expectations. They have a rematch with Texas Tech today after Baylor defeated the Red Raiders 74-68 to end the regular season. Kansas State (13-16,4-12) Nebraska (11-18,3-13) Who to watch: Wildcat forward Gilson Deus.js can light it up from three-point range in his first year under coach Jim Woolridge's leadership of coach Jim Woolridge. Deus.js was honored for his season by being named to the conference's all-underrated team earlier this week. Odds of a Wildcat championship: The Wildcats are matched up with Colorado today in the tournament's first round. If Kansas State can get by the Buffaloes, it will play Oklahoma on Friday. Oklahoma escaped Manhattan in February with a 91-89 overtime victory. Who to watch: Junior forward Andrew Drevo leads the Huskers averaging 13.6 points per game. Despite playing on a last-place team, Drevo was named to the all-newcomer team of the Big 12. Odds of a Husker championship: Nebraska must play a Missouri team today that is fuming after two losses to end the regular season. It has been a long season in Lincoln after team leader Jake Mulheisen was lost for the season to a pelvis injury in January.

Men take 13th place prepare for tournament GOLF Southern Methodist University won the 15-team tournament shooting 858 and were followed by Tulsa, 861 and Texas A&M, 868. Coach Ross Randall said the team was just eager to get home and practice the rest of the week for the Jayhawk's next tournament. Freshman Pete Krsich's 222 made him the team's highest finisher in 32nd place. Junior Tyler Hall, freshman Ryan Ranier and sophomore Andrew Price all finished in the top 50. The team will head to Aiken, S.C., next week to compete in the Cleveland Golf Collegiate Championships at the Palmetto Golf Club. —Paul Kramer Women finish eighth at Anteater tournament Led by strong final rounds from seniors Tiffany Krugel and Kristy Straub, the women's golf team was able to finish in eighth place after Tuesday's final round of the Anteater Invitational in Coto De Caza, Calif. University of California- Irvine shot a 925, two strokes better than runner-up California State Northridge and four strokes better than third-place Michigan. Despite shooting back-to-back 82s, senior Heather Rose finished in 14th place because of a 2- under 70, in the tournament's first round. The women head to Austin, Texas, on March 24 for the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Classic. BASKETBALL Williams earns award second year in a row —Paul Kramer Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams was named the big 12 Coach of the Year by the Associated Press yesterday. This is the second year in a row that Williams has been awarded the honor. He is now a seventime conference coach of the year winner. "It was a great year for our league. My team being able to handle the adversity and the slow start has given me more credit than I deserve," Williams said in a statement. "Several coaches in the league could have gotten this award and every coach in this league is an outstanding coach." Williams is the fourth-fastest coach in NCAA Division I history to reach 400 career victories. He boasts a record of 412-99 for his career, for a winning percentage of .806 — the highest winning percentage among all active Division I men's coaches. Williams has lead the Jayhawks to 14 straight 20-victory seasons,13 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances,nine conference championships,four conference tournament crowns and three Final Fours in 15 years at Kansas. Kansan staff report SOCCER KC Legends boys team overruns Kansas women The Kansas soccer team scored early, but not often, yesterday in a 4-1 loss to the Kansas City Legends Boys under-16 team. The game was barely underway when Caroline Smith scored for the Jayhawks to take a 1-0 lead. The Legends answered with a goal 33 minutes into the first period and the teams went into halftime knotted at 1-1. The Legends took the lead with a goal 3 minutes into the second period and added two more late in the game to secure the victory. Kansas coach Mark Francis said knew the team would be facing a quicker team that would make Kansas play quicker. That quickness allowed the Legends to put defensive pressure on the Jayhawks and take them out of their game plan. Shane Mettlen Kansas travels to Iowa City, Iowa, for a double header with Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Iowa on March 29.

HTTP://LANGUAGE=HTML CAN I ANSWER MY PHONE NOW? NOT WHILE THERE'S STILL MORE DANCING TO BE HAD! HEY, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PIK 'BED THE 'DANCE MANIA! HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (March 13) You're lucky this year with love, games and children. It doesn't get much better than that. There's plenty of work, too, but the money stays about the same. The work is most likely the kind you've done before, with a few new complications. Nothing you can't handle. Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 10. If plans haven't gone quite as well as you'd hoped, get a transfusion of love. It's OK to let somebody know you have a soft side. Ask for a hug if you need one. Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is an 8. Stick to the rules you've set, regardless of temptations. You're favored to make a big score in a game you delight in winning. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 5. You can be a healer as well as an analyst. Shift your focus to nurturing instead of being critical. You'll be more effective. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is an 10. There is something in between you and your objective, but it might not be anything more than time. You're good at deferring gratification, and you're getting better with practice. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 5. Today is about taking care of loose odds and ends, and putting your things back in order. You might also want to balance the checkbook and find out exactly what you have. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is an 8. If someone you love is being withdrawn and analytical, don't despair. It's a temporary condition. If you stay busy, it won't even bother you. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Today is a 6. Don't complain if you get a new assignment. It could turn into a good thing, although it's a real challenge initially. It'll make you stronger. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 10. If you manage your resources care fully, you can try something new. Don't let yourself be rushed or stressed. The delicate nuances must be savored. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is a 6. Pinching pennies is a chore, but it can lead to a wonderful bonus. Do without something you don't really need, and get something you lust for. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is an 8. A kind and gentle person can teach you a thing or two. Be willing to admit that you could use some help with something that hurts. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6. The job may be quite demanding, but the money should be good. Stick with it a little while longer, and acquire many benefits. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 9. Schedule some personal time for tonight with somebody you love. If you don't want to clean up your place, here's an excuse to go out.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 12A THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY 100 Ryan Malashock rmalashock@kansan.com Washington deserving of last shot The look was frighteningly genuine, the serious scowl that consumed Jody Conradt's face yesterday. Conradt, No. 5 Texas' women's basketball coach, likely didn't anticipate even removing her backside from the bench seats at Reunion Arena in Dallas. But here she was, arms crossed and nerves racing, as Kansas led her Texas squad, 15-12, just minutes into its Big 12 tournament quarterfinals game. OK, so what if the Longhorns woke from their nightmare, ran off a 17-0 scoring flurry and blew out the Jayhawks into their season with an 87-56 romp? Let's get back to Conradt's early worries because they hold the key to why Kansas coach Marian Washington deserves one more shot at making Kansas a women's basketball winner. Freshman Erica Hallman stole a pass and darted three-fourths of the court for a layup. Sophomore Blair Waltz popped an 18-footer with ease. Freshman Crystal Kemp tugged away loose balls and rebounds while fellow freshman Tamara Ransburg converted on two post moves. The confidence was staggering, giving Kansas a swagger more suited for the team with the word "State" accompanying Kansas on its jerseys. Because of Washington's track record 27 years of success and three years, the last three, of disappointment — Kansas athletics director Al Bohl owes her the opportunity to show whether she can still lead Kansas into the NCAA Tournament. Short of that next year, Kansas would be intelligent to make a change. All year, Washington's young team showed brief flashes of what could be like yesterday's opening 6 minutes. But no matter the opponent or site of the game, the Jayhawks became unglued. It was understandable. Washington But as quickly as the dominance appeared, it vanished. The Jayhawks got lazy on defense. Texas spotted open shooters. Kansas fired putrid shots. Scoreless possessions became repetitive, and Kansas went more than 9 minutes without scoring. Relief replaced Conradt's dismay, but the fact it surfaced was a testament to Kansas' Washington-led future. Whether or not that future lasts longer than next year, which is the last on Washington's current $210,000-per-year contract, rests upon the extent of the Jayhawks' improvement. It was understandable. Washington see MALASHOCK on page 9A Kansas' magic runs out Women fall to Texas 87-56, end year with 11-18 mark By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Even with yesterday's 87-56 loss to Texas in the second round of the Big 12 Conference tournament, the Kansas women's basketball team returns to Lawrence on a good note. Lawrence on good news After Tuesday's upset victory in the opening round against Iowa State, not many people expected the Jayhawks (11-18) to stand a chance against the Longhorns (23-5). Kansas held on early, leading by as many as 3 in the first half, but the combination of inexperience and Texas' depth off the bench summed up to a loss. "What I really appreciated was that they've always had some chemistry, but they came together as a unit, especially in that first game," coach Marian Washington said. "They can't wait to get started again, and that kind of attitude is what we've been working towards." We've been working Freshman forward Tamara Ransburg led the Jayhawks with 12 points. The only other Jayhawks to score in double figures were sophomore guard Blair Waltz, with 11, and sophomore guard Stacey Becker with 10. Kansas was consistent on offense, going 23-of-54 from the field and 7-of-8 at the free throw line. The difference for the Longhorns was their forward combination of junior Stacy Stephens and sophomore Heather Rechiber. KANSAS 56 - #7 TEXAS 87 KANSAS(11-18) and sophomore Stephens recorded team-highs with her 27 points and 14 rebounds.

"She's just an awesome player allaround," Ransburg said. "It's very competitive to go in there and play defense on her. It's a really good experience." The players and coaches were still upbeat about their experience in Dallas following yesterday's game. Waltz emphasized the excitement that now surrounded the team for next season. Kansas' Leila Mengue tries to steal the ball from Texas' Jamie Carey during the Jayhawks' 87-56 loss at the Big 12 Conference tournament in Dallas. Mengue later injured her knee in the loss that closed the season for the Kansas women. "This year, I just thought that we were aggressive all the time and worked together as a team." Waltz said. "It gives us just great confidence going into next year. It's just such a positive experience for the young club that we have." Edited by Ryan Wood Kansas leads teams in Big 12 tournament Kansas (24-6,14-2 Big 12 Conference) By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan sportswinter Who to watch: Most of the attention for the Jayhawks is heaped on seniors Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich. However, it is sophomore point guard Aaron Miles whose play often dictates the team's success. Coach Roy Williams does not need Miles to carry the scoring load; Williams and the Jayhawks need a solid floor game from Miles. Odds of a Jayhawk championship: Obviously any team carrying the No.1 seed is a favorite to leave Dallas with championship hardware. The question for Kansas is whether a lack of depth will limit the Jayhawks' chances of winning three games in three days. Texas (22-5, 13-3) the Longhorns a solid third scoring option. Odds of a Longhorn championship: Not many teams in the Big 12 Conference can match the depth of Texas, and nobody has a better point guard than Ford. The Longhorns carry the momentum of ending Oklahoma's home court winning streak to end the season. American Airlines Center is sure to be full of fans clad in burnt orange. Who to watch: T.J. Ford and James Thomas gets the headlines, but Brandon Mouton provides the spark averaging 14.2 points per game. Mouton is a streaky shooting swingman who gives Oklahoma (21-6, 12-4) Who to watch: Senior Hollis Price garnered Big 12 player of the year honors earlier this week, but fellow senior guard Quannas White makes the Sooners one of the top teams in the country. In the Sooner's 77-70 victory over Kansas in February, White hit for 19 points on 7 of 9 shooting. Odds of a Sooner championship: Oklahoma has won the last two Big 12 tournaments, and Kelvin Sampson preaches the type of rugged defense that can carry a team a long way in a tournament setting. Who to watch: Senior guard Melvin Sanders is an opposing coaches nightmare. Sanders provides senior leadership for coach Eddie Sutton, and Sanders has the ability to shut down an opposing team's best scorer with suffocating defense. Odds of a Cowboy championship: Sutton will never be out coached by any other coach in the Big 12 The key to the Cowboy's chances will rest on offensive production for a team that thrives on its defense. Oklahoma State (21-8, 10-6) Missouri (18-9, 9-7) Who to watch: Arthur Johnson can be a dominant force in the paint for the Tigers with unrelenting energy on the offensive boards. In an upset victory over Oklahoma, Johnson scored 20 points and neutralized the Sooner bigmen. The problem is that Johnson's teammates do not always get him the ball. He took only 11 shots against Kansas in the season finale. Odds of a Tiger championship: The Tigers proved they could be a dangerous tournament team with their run to the Elite Eight in last year's NCAA tournament. The Tigers wasted an opportunity to get a first-round bye with losses to Iowa State and Kansas to end the season. Colorado (19-10, 9-7) Who to watch: David Harrison and Stephane Pelle draw a lot of defensive attention in the post, but junior guard Blair Wilson is the Buffaloes' sharpshooter who can spread the floor. Wilson proved he can produce in a big-game atmosphere when he scored 21 points against Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. Odds of a Buffalo championship: Colorado has shown no ability to win away from home this season with a 1-7 road record in the conference. Coach Ricardo Patton might need to nab a victory against Kansas State today to solidify his team's spot in the NCAA tournament. Texas Tech (16-11, 6-10) Who to watch: Junior guard Andre Emmett led the Big 12 in scoring this sea SEE BIG 12 ON PAGE 9A S Watch any game form any region at Henry T's Bar & Grill WATCH ANY GAME FROM ANY REGION @ HENRY T'S MARCH 20TH THROUGH APRIL 7TH ON OUR March Madness Full Court Package FOOD AND DRINK SPECIALS EVERYDAY 749-2999 Regents Court Apartments Large 3&4 BR,2 full bath apartments for rent with Washer & Dryer Modern Decor Large fully Applianced Kitchen including Microwave & Dishwasher Gas Heat & Hot Water Central Heat & Air Off street parking On KU bus route 24 hr.

Osbourne to play locally By Lauren Bristow Ibristow@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Kelly Osbourne — although many love her music, she's an 18-year-old that some people love to hate. "She's leaching off her dad's fame and the Osbourne show's fame — she sucks," said Betsy Gaydess, Basehor junior. "I'm not going to be going to the show." Osbourne is appearing Friday night at The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., which will be the second performance of her first U.S. tour. The 21-city tour began last night. She released her first full-length compact disc, Shut Up!, in November 2002 and has since become a teenage icon. The station, based in Kansas City, Mo.. KELLY OSBOURNE What: in concert What: in contact When: doors open at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow Where: The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. is presenting the show. About 450 tickets have already been sold, said James Radina co-owner of the Granada. "I think it's pretty sweet that she's coming," Radina said. "With all the hype about the Osbournes and their show, it's definitely cool." Osbourne is the daughter of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. She rose to fame after the 2001 premiere of her family's reality television show, The Osbournes, on MTV. Osbourne later debuted her vocal talent when the family released The Osbourne Family Album, which featured Kelly's remake of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach." "She appeals to the 15-to-24-year-old, rebellious teenage group," Tadda said. Mike Brown, St. Louis sophomore thinks people will go to the show because of the popularity of the family's TV show. "I think a bunch of people will be there because they love the television show," Brown said. "They'll be there to say, 'I saw Kelly Osbourne.'" Brown won't be attending the show because he doesn't think Osbourne is talented,he said. Amy Henry, Sterling junior, wants to go to the show out of curiosity, she said. "Ever since I started watching the TV show, I kind of got into it," she said. "I really want to go and I think a lot of people will be there out of sheer curiosity." Doors open to the all-ages show at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, and tickets are still available for $13.

That's because The Wind Waker, the newest game in the Legend of Zelda series arrives in stores March 24. A common LINK "Right now I honestly don't think the GameCube has much to offer," Pope, a Wichita junior, said. "But every single Zelda game that's come from Nintendo has been great." Here's a look at the major U.S. Zelda releases in the last 16 years. MALVEDA DE SANTAMARÍA EN EL TEMPORAL PASIÓN DE LA NACIÓN DE MADRID Y A LOS AÑOS 1840-50 The Legend of Zelda (1987) The Wind Waker is the eighth original release for the series in the United States. Although fans said they were excited about the upcoming release, some had mixed feelings about the game's appearance. in the series, this game drew fans for life with its innovative gameplay and story concept. Zelda II: Link's Adventure (1988) This game switched to a side-scrolling screen that was less popular with fans. or A Link to the Past (1992) 100 A favorite among fans this game featured complex dungeons and puzzles that would become a Zelda mainstay. Link traveled between the Light and Dark worlds. Ocarina of Time (1998) Kevin Augspurger, Wichita junior, preordered his copy of The Wind Waker in January. Despite being a fan, Augspurger said the cel-shaded graphics made the game look juvenile. Link made the transition to 3D in this game, which was released for the N64. Gamers could transform from young Link to adult the Guinness Book of World Record's title for most preorders — 350,000 — according to the zeeldafan.com. using the Temple of Time. This game held A truly bizarre take on the Zelda theme: Link transformed into different creatures by donning masks. This game was similar to Ocarina of Time in style and handling. Majora's Mask (2000) The Wind Waker [May 24, 2003] Cel-shading is when designers draw each polygon with a black outline, Augspurger said, which gives it a hand-drawn appearance. Shadows are depicted in a blocky, exaggerated manner like a cartoon. That hasn't stopped fans from heading Some love it, some hate it. Link may look like a pansy, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to put Ganon in his place... with his wand, anyway. Regardless of fan sentiment, this game promises to push bound-aries yet again with its cel-shaded graphics. "People have started calling it Cel-da," Augspurger said. "It makes casual gamers over the age of 12 think twice about buying it." to Target to play The Wind Waker demo, which has been available at the store for the past three weeks. Nicole Roché/Kansan Mike Dixon, Target employee, said there was always someone playing the demo, which was a preview of one of the game's dungeons. Dixon said as of Sunday the store had 41 preorders for the game. He said he had heard a lot of buzz about the cel-shading. "Some people like it; some people hate it," Dixon said. "Some are like, 'It's Zelda, I'll buy it no matter what." Dixon said he was one who would buy the game no matter what. A fan since the original Legend of Zelda was released in 1987, Dixon said it was interesting to see younger fans play the demo. "They didn't start off with the regular Nintendo, so they didn't get that two-dimensional experience," he said. "They didn't get to see the evolution of the game." Matt Nyquist, Lindsborg freshman, said he had played the dungeon demo and was impressed with the cel-shading. "I actually think it gives it a more artistic feel," Nyquist said. "It's a good example of how a video game can be art." Nyquist said the dungeon demo was reminiscent of the 1992 Zelda game A Link to the Past. That's good news for Pope, the Zelda fan who said he'd purchase a GameCube as soon as its $150 price lowered. "A Link to the Past" is his favorite Zelda game. "The music's great, the puzzles are great and the Tri-Force kicks ass," Pope said. The complexity of the Zelda games has always kept players perplexed, Pope said, and he expects The Wind Waker to continue the tradition. "As long as it has the puzzles," he said, "I don't really care what it looks like." — Edited by Melissa Hermreck Zelda games that Nintendo wants to forget By Nicole Roché nroche@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Sometimes the past comes back to haunt us - even for Nintendo. When Nintendo's official Zelda source, zelda.com, listed the Legend of Zelda games, it conveniently left out three 1993 releases: Link: Faces of Evil, The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure. Kevin Augspurger, Wichita junior and Zelda fan, called these three games "Nintendo's dirty secrets." That's because, as ign.com states, these are the games that Nintendo doesn't want you to know about. These games, which were released for Philips' CD-i system, are laughable at best Augspurger said. According to ign.com, the subpar quality of these games had its roots in a scandal that began in 1988. With CD-ROM possibilities on the horizon, Nintendo strategically signed with Sony and created a new system code-named Play Station Experimental. This enhanced CD player would be compatible with CD-ROMs as well as Nintendo's soon-to-be-released Super NES console. However, in 1990, with CD-ROM technology taking hold, Nintendo Co. president Hiroshi Yamauchi realized an agreement with Sony would mean giving up absolute control over license and manufacturing. Yamauchi decided to develop a new plan without telling Sony — Nintendo would sign with Philips, Europe's major electronics manufacturer, to make games for Philips' new CD-i system. On the first day of the International Consumer Electronics Show in 1991, Sony announced its partnership with Nintendo, unaware of the Nintendo and Philips alliance. On the second day of the show, when everyone expected Nintendo to discuss details of the Sony partnership, Nintendo instead announced the new Philips partnership. The rest is history. After being shafted by Nintendo, Sony went on to release the PlayStation in 1994, and it has been a blow to Nintendo's backside ever since. The three Zelda games may be the most pathetic evidence of the botched Nintendo/Sony ordeal. According to ign.com, the games employed sloppy graphics, poor voice-overs and terrible handling. Released just after A Link to the Past, still a fan favorite, the games seemed even more tragic. Philips' CD-i, or "Imagination Machine," Nintendo gave Philips the license to create games using the Zelda namesake. Augspurger said he wouldn't let fellow Zelda fans forget the blight on Nintendo's history. "People say there's never been a bad Zelda game yet," Augspurger said, "but there's been three." Clips from the second of the three games, The Wand of Gamelon, can be viewed at insider.ign.com/articles/316625p1.html. Instead of creating the games for the — Edited by Melissa Hermreck THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 OUTDOORS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5 Students propose river endeavors By Marissa Stephenson mstephenson@kansan.com Jayplay staff writer The month of March brings warm weather, light breezes and a week away from classes - all of which are perfect reasons to get out on a river. Whether your pleasure is canoeing or kayaking, there are plenty of public rivers in and around Kansas to explore. Jess Vahsholtz, Herington junior, is looking forward to the seven-day canoeing trip he is taking with his family this spring break. He said they were starting in Missouri and were working their way to Arkansas. "We'll need to rent the boats when we get there, but we've got most of our own stuff," he said. "We used to go a lot when I was younger, so it's a reunion of sorts." Vahsholtz suggested the Ozarks as a good place to canoe for beginning or experienced paddlers. "The Ozarks is as close and good as it is, and definitely the cheapest place you can get," Vahsholtz said. "Plus it's easy to find outfitters to rent your boats from." Andrea Jones, Topeka senior agreed. "There are plenty of canoe friendly places around the Ozarks. I went to the Buffalo River in Missouri a year ago. It's a beautiful drive out there and a great canoe trip," Jones said. Jones also recommended The Complete Book of Canoeing by Herbert Gordon as an essential tool in locating local and national rivers to paddle on. It has river listings for every state and the associations to contact for information, plus added tips on basic strokes and rescue information. TJ Hittle, veteran kayaker for 24 years and web master of the Web site The Kansas Paddler, www.kansas.net/~tjhittle, said one of the best multi-day river runs was right here in Kansas. "If you're looking for a local river float, the Kansas River is the best," he said. "It's a 170-mile stretch that starts out in Junction City and flows into Missouri. You could take-out in Lawrence if you wanted a solid four-to-five-day trip." means you don't have to be an expert to navigate them. Hittle also suggested Missouri rivers for multi-days trips. "The Current, Eleven Point, and Jacks Fork are all part of the Ozark National Waterways and great picks for multi-day trips," Hittle said. "There are accesses all along the river and plenty of outfitters to get your gear and run shuttles for you." If you were still looking for the ultimate Spring Break trip, Hittle suggested looking into a kayaking trip in the Everglades National Park in Florida. There, you could paddle through exotic marshes during the day and camp out on raised platforms at night. Boats could be rented through Hittle said rivers like the Kansas River, affectionately known as "The Kaw", were ideal because they were public domain – meaning you didn't have to have a permit to paddle on them. Rivers in and around Kansas are also mostly flat-water, which Gretchen Snethen, Topeka junior and employee for Robinson's Recreation Services department, said that next year Robinson's Outdoor Pursuits program hoped to offer two-person and single kayaks for rent. "It will be a great opportunity for students to get kayaking experience, plus it's convenient," Snethen said. With the return of warm weather, paddlers can think of many reasons to get back out on a river. "I love being out on the water, it's peaceful, it's calm, it's my escape," Vahsholtz said. Jones recommended paddling as an enjoyable means of relaxation for anyone. "It's the easy life when you're floating downstream,"she said.

Here's a sample of outdoor activities in Lawrence: Batting cages The batting cages at Clinton Lake Softball Complex, 5101 Speicher Road, are now open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. The cages feature four slow-pitch softball stations and two fast-pitch softball stations. Tokens are available on-site at a cost of $1 for 1 token or $5 for7 tokens. One token buys 20 pitches. The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department has developed a BMX track in partnership with the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club. The track is located in Edgewood Park, 1245 E. 15th St., near the East Lawrence Recreation Center. BMXtrack The dirt track, shaped like a figure eight, is designed for bicycles. Motorized vehicles are not allowed, and the track is without supervision. Designed as a street course, the 12,306 square-foot facility features eight courses including a half-pipe, a quarter-pipe, a plaza, pyramids, a fun box and a grind rail. The area is not supervised. Skaters should wear safety equipment. The Centennial Skate Park, 600 Rockledge Road, was designed with input from area youth in 1998. Centennial Skate Park Centennial Park Frisbee Golf Course One stroke is counted each time a player throws a disc or incurs a penalty. Maps and scorecards for the course are available at Bucky's Drive-In, 2120 W. Ninth St. Centennial Park's 18-hole course, 600 Rockledge Road, has no green fees or expensive equipment. Frisbee golf, whose rules are similar to those of golf, uses discs instead of balls. "Frisbee golf is a good way to be outside with your friends," said Chris Osgood, 2002 KU graduate." — Edited by Lindsay Hanson 6 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN OSCARS THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 Film critics pick Oscar winners With the Academy Awards right around the corner, Jayplay film critics Aaron Passman and Stephen Shupe face-off about which films and actors they think deserve to take home the little gold man on Oscar night. Best Picture Nominees: Chicago; Gangs of New York; The Hours; The Pianist; The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Passman: Will win: Chicago. Should win: Chicago Breathtaking in so many ways and a return to the traditional style of movie musicals, Chicago is hard to dislike. Rob Marshall's direction should be commended for so successfully bringing a stage musical to the screen, and the choreography, costumes, music and acting are all spectacular. My guess is that this one's in the bag, and while my heart's with Lord of the Rings, my head's with Chicago. Shupe: Will win: Chicago Should win: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers An enlightened professor told me the other day that Chicago has 10 minutes of plot. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, on the other hand, has enough plot to fill 308 pages of a book (which it does, by the way) and an epic sweep that arguably tops 1997's Oscar champ, Titanic. Best Director Nominees: Rob Marshall, Chicago; Martin Scorsese, Gangs of New York; Pedro Almodovar, Talk To Her; Stephen Daldry, The Hours; Roman Polanski, The Pianist Passman: FILM Will win: Martin Scorsese Should win: Martin Scorsese If there's one sure thing on Oscar night, this will be it. Scorsese's been making films for decades and, despite crafting some of the seminal pictures of the last three decades the man has never won an Oscar. So, in typical Academy fashion, he'll win it this year for a film that finds him anywhere but close to the top of his game. Shupe: Will win: Martin Scorsese Should win: Martin Scorsese Let's get serious here: Martin Scorsese has never won an Academy Award. With Gangs of New York, he's directed a ferociously ambitious American saga. As President Truman once put it, "It's like writing history with lightning." Best Actor Nominees: Adrien Brody, The Pianist, Nicolas Cage, Adaptation; Michael Laine, The Quiet American; Daniel Day-Lewis Gangs Of New York; Jack Nicholson About Schmidt PENNY HOFFMAN Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com Passman: Will win; Daniel Day-Lewis Should win: Nicolas Cage Should win: Nicolas Cage Day-Lewis came out of a self-imposed career hiatus to make Gangs of New York. Day-Lewis has been nominated for Oscars before, and odds are that he'll get the Oscar both for career recognition and for a deserving performance. Cage won an Oscar in 1995 for his leading role in Leaving Las Vegas, but Adaptation is the best work he's done to date. Playing twins, Cage gets to show off several different sides of himself and there's the feeling that he's branching out more as an actor, rather than just sticking with the norm. Shupe: Will Win: Jack Nicholson Should Win: Daniel Day-Lewis As Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York, Daniel Day-Lewis burned every venomous word and gesture into the id. But on the big night, the camera loves Jack with his big smile and cool shades. Best Actress Nominees: Salma Hayek, Frida; Nicole Kidman, The Hours; Diane Lane, Unfaithful, Julianne Moore, Far From Heaven, Renee Zellweger, Chicago Passman: Will win; Nicole Kidman. Should win: Salma Hayek. Everybody loves it when somebody beautiful uglies herself up, and Nicole Kidman certainly did so in playing Virginia Woolf in The Hours. Kidman's performance in The Hours wasn't half as compelling as Salma Hayek's in Frida, but I'm guessing the Academy will want to reward Kidman. Hayek spent years trying to get a Frida Kahlo biopic made, and her performance was stunning. Will Win: Nicole Kidman Shupe: Should Win: Salma Hayek Salma Hayek, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore were all equally brilliant. The Academy prefers real people personified, though, so that gives the edge to Hayek as Frida Kahlo and Kidman as Virginia Woolf. My vote's with Hayek, but her film has far less fanfare than Kidman's does. Best Supporting Actor Nominees: Chris Cooper, Adaptation, Ed Harris, The Hours, Paul Newman, Road To Perdition. Stephen Shupe sshue@kansan.com John C. Reilly, Chicago, Christopher Walken, Catch Me If You Can Passman: Will win: Paul Newman. Should win: Christopher Walken Newman's a hell of an actor, and his work in Road To Perdition was some of his best work in years (though, admittedly, he's working much less frequently as he ages). His role as leader of an Irish-American crime family in the 1930s and father figure to Tom Hanks was sinister and grim, yet still somehow likable. But if there's one actor who has his own stereotype, it's Christopher Walken. But what's often overlooked is Walken's talent as an actor, and that's something that comes across in Catch Me If You Can. Shupe: Will win: Christopher Walken Should win: Ed Harris Ed Harris gave Meryl Streep a verbal smackdown and died beautifully in The Hours and I want him to win because he's been snubbed four times in a row. Representing snubs of a different kind are sentimental favorites Christopher Walken and Paul Newman, whose films, Catch Me if You Can and Road to Perdition, deserved a lot more Academy attention in the acting categories than they got. Best Supporting Actress Nominees: Kathy Bates, About Schnidt; Nominees: Kathy Bates, About Schmid; Julianne Moore, The Hours; Queen Latifah, Chicago; Meryl Streep, Adaptation; Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chicago Passman: Will win: Catherine Zeta-Jones. Should win: Queen Latifah. If Zeta-Jones takes home the Oscar, she'll certainly deserve it. But, hands down the best thing about Chicago, is the Queen. Just like Zeta-Jones, she was smart, businesslike and had attitude to spare, but whether the Academy is going to honor a black actress two years in a row remains to be seen. Shupe: Will win: Julianne Moore Should win: Julianne Moore Julianne Moore provided The Hours with its emotional peak. She won't win for Far From hates empty Heaven, and since the Academy hates empty hands, I think she'll end up with one win for two nods. Best Adapted Screenplay Nominees: About A Boy Screenplay by Peter Hedges and Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz; Adaptation Screenplay by Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman; Chicago Screenplay by Bill Condon; The Hours Screenplay by David Hare; The Pianist Screenplay by Ronald Harwood Passman: Will win: Chicago Should win: Adaptation Bill Condon won an Oscar in 1999 for adapting the screenplay for the outstanding film Gods & Monsters, and if he wins again for Chicago it'll certainly be deserved. Director Rob Marshall's vision would be nothing without Condon's screenplay, which smoothly and perfectly translates the musical from stage to screen. Adaptation sets a record in Academy history—it's the first time a fictional character has ever been nominated for an Oscar. Shupe: Should win: About a Boy Will win: The Hours About a Boywas an overlooked gem. I think some Academy members will vote for Adaptation just to see how Charlie Kaufman might handle the issue of his fictional "cowriter," Donald Kaufman, in his acceptance speech. But The Hours is going to lose in all the technical categories, and this award will look great listed after Kidman and Moore on the DVD cover. Best Original Screenplay Nominees: Far From Heaven, by Todd Haynes; Gangs of New York, Screenplay by Jay Cocks and Steve Zaillian and Kenneth Lonergan Story by Jay Cocks; My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Written by Nia Vardalos; Talk To Her, Written by Pedro Almodóvar; Y Tu Mama También, Written by Carlos Cuarón and Alfonso Cuaron Passman: Will win: Gangs of New York. Should win: Y Tú Mama También. Gangs of New York is directed by an extremely gifted filmmaker and it took Scorcese decades to get the film made. Never mind that it wasn't that great of a script; the Academy will probably still want to acknowledge a film that tried to do so much and accomplished so little. But, Y Tu Mama nominated is riginal, funny and surprisingly moving, this was one of the best, most thoroughly modern coming-of-age stories I've seen. Shupe: Will win; Far from Heaven Should win: Far from Heaven Todd Haynes' script for Far From Heaven is a masterful update of Douglas Sirk's socially conscious 1950s melodramas. His film was the hit of the year as far as the critics are concerned. Shutting it out just looks silly THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 SEX THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7 Talk with roommates to gain privacy You've been there before: You and your partner are rockin' and rollin', when suddenly you hear the familiar sound of keys rattling in the door. Your roommate is home early from a party, and you and your partner are half naked and just getting started. What do you do? On the one hand, you don't want to make your roommate feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, you and your partner both have roommates and little personal time. Anyone who chooses to live with others needs to forewarm roommates when planning to entertain guests, said Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare who teaches the popular class, Human Sexuality in Everyday Life. "Kicking out your roommate is unacceptable." Dailey said. Sometimes, underlying problems exist between roommates that need to be addressed first when trying in conflict resolution, Dailey said. COMMENTARY A. "In roommate situations when one has a partner and the other does not, one roommate may envy what the other one has and become bitter and hostile," he said. Lindsey Hodel lhodel@kansan.com Anyone who chooses to live with others needs to forewarm roommates when planning to entertain guests, said Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare. Another situation arises when one roommate is not considerate and neglects to consider the needs of the other roommate, Dailey said. Forewarning roommates when sexual relations might occur is necessary to remedy this problem. Encounters can be especially awkward if you live with a member of the opposite sex. Even having your partner over to spend the night can sometimes cause your roommate of the opposite sex to become uncomfortable. So, make sure to keep an open line of communication. In a few cases, especially when you and your roommate have separate bedrooms, it's possible to continue your lovemaking even after you and your partner are no longer completely alone. For instance, simply moving to the floor can drastically reduce the sound of noisy bedsprings. Playing music can create a more romantic atmosphere while shielding moans and groans from your roommate's ears. If you're still too worried about noises escaping, you and your partner could also switch to oral or manual sex, which both tend to make less noise than penetration. But if you're the type who likes to be loud and wild, moving outside could offer lots of possibilities for freedom. Find a private camping spot, a secluded space near the lake or a field out in the country. As long as you find a secluded spot where no farmers will come and point a gun at your head for trespassing, finding a place in nature could allow you and your partner to screw until the cows come home without having to worry about the roommates interrupting. If you must stay indoors, putting a sock or a rubber band on the doorknob can signal to your roommate that you're getting it on. But I don't recommend relying upon this method if you want to keep a working relationship with a roommate. I know from personal experience that coming home at 2 a.m. and finding the "sex band" on the doorknob is no fun. The real key to maintaining a healthy sexual relationship with your partner and a healthy friendship with your roommate is open communication. If you want exclusive sex rights to your dorm room or apartment, plan those times based on your when your roommate will likely be gone. In dire situations, try setting up a couple of hours a week when you and your roommate have exclusive rights to the space. Model is a a St. Louis, Mo., senior in journalism.

Kolley Weiss/Kansan Kenley Welts/Kanshan Waechter and Arnett chat on a couch in the back of The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St. They took a break from shopping around in Flush, which is attached to Java Break, Tuesday afternoon. Kelley Weiss/Kansan Arnett and Waechter walk down Massachusetts Street in each others' clothes. Arnett said walking around in Waechter's clothes, completely opposite of the usual Abercrombie & Fitch apparel, was a different experience, and he thought people were staring at him. Trading places Students exchange clothes, images for a day By Lauren Airey & Kelley Weiss lairey@kansan.com and kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writers Adam Waechter generally wears durable Wranglers or Levis. He hates to shop and usually picks up his shirts at concerts. Sigma Chi fraternity member Justin Arnett buys his clothes almost exclusively from Abercrombie & Fitch, somewhere Waechter would never shop. The two switched clothes and, in the process, saw what it was like to live on the other side for a while. They were receptive but uncomfortable with the results. Swapping garbs After five minutes in a'dressing room, Waechter, Roeland Park sophomore, stood in the middle of The Gap, 643 Massachusetts St., dressed in khaki pants, a white collared shirt and a loose-fitting blue sweater. He danced around the men's section of the store while a Britney Spears song played in the background. He said the clothes were baggier than his usual choice of clothing and the new shoes had more support. Although Arnett brought an extra set of clothes to trade, Waechter took the clothes off his back. Waechter told Arnett that the shirt he was temporarily giving up was one of his favorites. "Nobody would recognize me," Waechter said. "I could walk into a party full of my friends and no one would recognize me." While Waechter danced around in the newline of Gap khakis, Arnett, Dallas freshman, emerged from his dressing room in tight black jeans and a black concert T-shirt. Doning their new duds, Arnett and Waechter started to walk out of the store. Before they reached the door, a saleslady stopped Waechter and offered him a chance to get $10 off a new pair of khakis. He stared "I just couldn't stop laughing," Arnett said. "The pants are kind of tight. I swore I would never wear Vans, but here we are."

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE at her blankly and accepted the $10 coupon, sticking it in his back pocket. Shopping around Kelley Weiss/Kansan Down Massachusetts Street, the two men separately ventured into Abercrombie & Fitch, 647 Massachusetts St. Waechter wandered through the men's section quickly and arrived at the back of the store with nothing in hand. Waechter looks through clothes at Flush with Arnett. Although Waecchter said some of the clothes caught his eye, he thought the prices were a little high. "These clothes are made in sweatshops," Waechter said. "If I bought these clothes, I would be supporting something I've been preaching against. Plus it's outrageously expensive." Once Waechter was back out on the street, Arnett went in. He walked through the store, pointing out the T-shirts and khaki shorts he liked. The salespeople continued folding clothes and didn't appear to have any unusual reactions. But Arnett said they looked real fast and then looked away. Before leaving the second clothing store of the afternoon, Arnett asked the saleslady for a size 28 in a pair of rugged khaki shorts. She immediately told him they didn't have those, and he shrugged it off. "Yeah, that's really small," he said. Further down Massachusetts Street, Arnett and Waechter veered off the main road to head into The Java Break, a local coffee shop, and Flush, a thrift store attached to The Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St. Retro Madonna replaced Brittany Spears in the background, and the two looked through racks of thrift store T-shirts and jeans. Waechter's cohort excitedly tried on two nylon vests, but the men didn't find any clothes calling their names. They compared multi-patterned polo shirts and laughed. They took a seat at a table in Java Break, but after shooting the breeze for a few minutes, they decided play time was over. Both were eager to get back in their own JUSTIN ARNETT Favorite band: Dave Matthews Band Favorite clothing store: Abercrombie & Fitch What did you do last weekend?: We went out to the bars. What is your favorite place to grab a bite?: Papa Kenos Extra-curricular activities: Sports basketball, football, baseball, hockey. What did you expect: I didn't know what to expect. I thought Adam would be like Marilyn Manson, hair all black and freaky-looking. But he wasn't. He was just a normal guy that wears different clothes. I've never been around anyone who wears clothes like that, and I'll probably never experience anything like that again. Next time I see people in those clothes, I won't think they suck.

We were at the dopest lake house I've ever seen.

What did you expect: I had no idea what to expect. I didn't feel any different because they're just clothes.I probably would have gone to some places I usually don't go to --- like places with really nice clothing where anyone who looks like they don't have $100 shouldn't be there.The clothes I gave Justin were tame. People are people.I look past facades.I had fun.I like to play dress up. clothes and back to their own images. "I've never dressed in anything like that before," Arnett said. "To be walking around and have people looking at me was funny. They were afraid to look at me, like I was going to kill them or something." Back on the corporate end of Massachusetts Street, the men changed clothes in Eddie Bauer, 643 Massachusetts St. Standing out on the street, comfortably in their own styles again, the boys said goodbye. After handing the patchwork khakis back to Arnett, Waechter gave him the $10 coupon from The Gap. "Here, I won't use this," he said. 7 27 — Edited by Julie Jantzer C 10 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MUSIC THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 Crowd lacks passion,show goes on REVIEW --- Sunday night's rock 'n' roll show at the Bottleneck saw the return to Lawrence of Canada's Hot Hot Heat. But despite three great bands, what could have been one of Lawrence's best shows of the season didn't live up to its potential, thanks to a lackluster crowd. Ad Astra Per Aspera First on the bill was Lawrence quartet Ad Astra Per Aspera. The band had no discernable style, rather playing a sort of concentrated noise combining elements of indie rock, hardcore and even a bit of jazz. Bassist Scott Edwards spent nearly the entire show with his back turned to the crowd. Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com Vocalist/guitarist Mike Tuley and keyboardist Julie Noyce each spoke briefly to the crowd during their set. Tuley showed off an impressive vocal range, alternating between melodic singing and high pitched shouting, and the songs all frequently changed styles and sounds, giving the band's performance an exciting, spastic feel. After a short break Conner took to the Conner stage and played a brief set of catchy oldschool garage rock. The Lawrence foursome are "your local slacker rock band," as vocalist/guitarist James Duft put it. But, slackers or not, their brand of rock is a damn good one — fast, loud and rawer than a pound of frozen ground beef. Opening up with "Start It Up Right," Conner played a short, tight set, doing its best to get the subdued crowd going. Finally, after a 30-minute set, the band closed with "She Tells No Lies" and then promptly walked off stage. Hot Hot Heat By the time headliner Hot Hot Heat came on the venue was nearly full, and most of the crowd seemed ready to rock. Hot Hot Heat's brand of new-wave tinged garage rock is catchy and hella-danceable and vocalist/guitarist Steve Bays tried hard to get the crowd into it and get people dancing. "We're a dance band," Bays joked. "That's our gimmick." While a small contingent of the nearcapacity crowd was more than happy to oblige Bays by dancing, most of the crowd acted in typical Lawrence fashion: occasionally bobbing heads or singing along, but for the most part standing stone-faced and starring stoically forward, seemingly ambivalent about the band on stage. But Hot Hot Heat didn't seem to notice, and the band attacked their instruments and tore through their 45-minute set as though someone had lit a fire under their collective ass. Band members played a mix of songs both new and old, including tracks from their "Knock Knock Knock" EP and their recent Sub Pop records debut album "Make Up The Breakdown." Bays is an animal on stage, frequently leaving his keyboard to strut around stage with the mic and stand on the edge of the stage singing directly to audience members. On songs like "Bandages," "This Town" and "Five Times" both Bays and the crowd seemed to be in sync, as the crowd's singing often times almost drowned out Bays' voice, but far too often it seemed that the crowd was a too reserved for such a danceable night. HOT HOT HEAT ... A Last Sunday at the Bottleneck with Ad Astra Per Aspera and Conner Regardless, the band had nothing but good things to say about Lawrence, and Bays said the band's show at the Replay last fall was one of the highlights of that tour. He commented that the crowd seemed in especially high spirits and thanked them for "raising the bar a bit higher." It's great that band was so pleased with the crowd, but I've seen better crowds in Lawrence. It's too bad such a great show had to be performed before such a seemingly apathetic crowd.

Now, I'm no English major, but is stonking even a real word? Reviewed by Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com To a point, Mullets Rock! is just like a CD of any classic rock radio station you've ever heard. Songs by Deep Purple, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Foreigner, Journey, The Doobie Brothers and more are all included, but there's also an element of '80s hair metal at work here. I've never really considered Twisted Sister, Alice Cooper or even Toto to be "mullet bands," but apparently the folks at Epic/Legacy records felt differently. But even if not all the bands live up to the full-on mulletude of Ted Nugent or Molly Hatchet, at least you'll get your money's worth—both CDs are well over 75 minutes each, reaching nearly the full capacity available today for CD production. "Two discs worth of all yer favorites—all louder and sweeter than ever," the CD declares. MULLETS ROCK! Contributed art And if the cover illustration of Mullets Rock! wasn't funny enough to begin with (it also folds out into a massive illustration of mullets, monster trucks and other white trash goodness), the liner notes are definitely worth a read. Inside you'll find a definition of what makes a mullet, a list of mullet nicknames (ape drape, squirrel cut, the duck and cover, etc.), and a brief essay from Barney Hoskyns (co-author of) on the cultural significance of the mullet. "Short in the front, long in the back," Hoskyns writes, "this bi-level phenomenon is now a beloved phenomenon of trailer park tastelessness." Mullets Rock! is the kind of collection perfect for summer days of rolling down the windows, turning up the car stereo and speeding down the highway. But it ain't summer yet, so there's no need to hurry out and pick up your own copy. Besides, when summer does come, you can probably get nearly all of these songs by just choosing any random classic rock station on your stereo and recording a few hours of their play list. Grade: C Give Up by The Postal Service Reviewed by Nate Harold nharold@kansan.com Give Up, the debut full length by The Postal Service, is like setting up two of your friends with little in common on a blind date. At first, you might be wary that they are too dissimilar for sparks. But, soon you see that their differences complement one another perfectly and you wonder why you didn't introduce them sooner. On Give Up, the unlikely pairing consists of electronic pop artist Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel and Death Cab for Cutie vocalist Ben Gibbard. The duo create a near-perfect blend of manic electronic beats and subdued indie rock lyrics and melodies. Standout tracks like "Such Great Heights" and "Clark Gable" utilize Tamborello's surprisingly effective hyper dance beats and new wave synth and Gibbard's understated vocal melodies. The lyrics tend to determine the overall feel of each song. In "Clark Gable," Gibbard sings about his disillusionment with a former love and his seemingly hopeless search to find what he's Contributed art THE POSTAL SERVICE 01.28.2019 On "We Will Become Silhouettes," Gibbard treats the end of a relationship like trying to beat an addiction, singing over a flawless Tamborello soundtrack complete with an oddly effective accordion sample. "I've got it covered with cans of food / filtered water and pictures of you / and I'm not coming out until this is all over." Although the lyrics are usually wellcrafted and unique, they also are occasionally the weakest point of the record. "Nothing Better," a conversational duet between Gibbard and solo artist Jen Wood contains lines such as, "Will someone please call a surgeon / who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart." The sporadic use of questionable lyrics are the only negative aspects of this recording and are easily overlooked. been looking for.

Reviewed by Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com If Tooth & Nail Records has yet to put out a band that's truly worth a damn then I certainly haven't heard them. Even poppunkers MxPx (arguably Tooth & Nail's biggest band) and emo boys Further Seems Forever make records that are consistently inconsistent, with a few great songs scattered among an album of mostly filler. But these are all the reasons that Mae will probably fit in perfectly with most of the other bands at Tooth & Nail. Mae's debut album, Destination: Beautiful is filled with what you'd expect to hear from just about any of Tooth & Nail bands a few decent songs, a lot of filler, a primarily emo sound and some Christian overtones. The Norfolk, Va., quintet's lyrics are vague at best and, for the most part, are without a specific sense of rhythm. Vocalist/guitarist Dave Gimenez sings in a high, whispery, nasal tone and seems to be doing a terrific impression of nearly every wussy emo singer you've ever heard. Aside from lyrics, the musical element to Mae is relatively strong, with the standard two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards. Even though their album is far from perfect, the Mae boys get some credit for playing something different than just the same four chords over and over again. Rather than stick with that more traditional formula, most of the songs are built around lead guitar riffs, as opposed to being all centered on the rhythm. male Contributed art But Mae is at its best when keeping it simple. The album's standout track, "Runaway" succeeds above all the others because both the lyrics and the music are relatively straightforward and rhythmic-not to mention catchy. With more of this and less of everything else, maybe Mae's next record will be a more worthwhile effort. Grade: D Playing a show? Releasing a CD?

When I am actually awake for the acceptable time for breakfast, I want my one secret food indulgence: a sausage egg McMuffin from McDonald's. According to the company's Web site, this morning delight has 450 calories and 28 grams of fat. With appealing breakfast sandwiches, sometimes items like cereal don't seem alluring. Although a growing number of studies show that breakfast — especially a cereal breakfast — is associated with skinnier waistlines and better weight control, it doesn't mean that Corn Flakes and Grape-Nuts are the only options to the morning diet. Nutritionist Elizabeth Somer, special guest on NBC's Today Show, said morning meals should have significant amounts of carbohydrates and proteins. "That could be scrambled eggs or an egg substitute," she said. "It could be low-fat milk or cheese or yogurt. And then at least one to three high-quality carbs, which would be the whole-grain waffle or the whole-grain toast." These morning rudiments provide essential energy throughout the day and help keep off the weight. The National Weight Control Registry at the University of Pittsburgh found that people maintain weight loss by following basic habits, such as eating breakfast. The next time you're up early, eat a cup of strawberry yogurt with granola and a glass of skim milk. In a hurry for class? Grab an apple or orange and bring it to school. Whatever the decision is for breakfast, perhaps the 800-calorie sub you crave at 2 a.m. will shrink to a 300-calorie bagel with light cream cheese at sunrise. Whatever your secret morning indulgence, go for it in a healthier manner. Healthy Bacon & Egg McMuffin Sandwich Serve with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice! Ingredients: 1. 1/2 cups fat-free, cholesterol-free egg product 1/4 cup skim milk 1/4 teaspoon pepper 4 turkey bacon slices 4 English muffins, whole-wheat, split and toasted 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (2 ounces) 1 teaspoon Paprika, if desired Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. 2. Mix egg product, milk and pepper. Set aside. 3. Spray 10-inch non-stick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat.

With a beginning like Oliver Twist and an ending that's a logical alternative to A Christmas Carol, the film remains faithful to Dickensian misery while still giving you a lift and emanating a warm tonal glow. (Ends today) THE MUSICAL THE GUNMAN — Stephen Shupe Contributed photo 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. (Endstoday) -SS Grade: A- The Quiet American Thomas Fowler (Oscar nominee Michael Caine), a British journalist chasing the dragon and other interests in 1952 Saigon, meets Alden Pyle (should-have-been-nominated Brendan Fraser), an American charmer who falls in love with Powler's Vietnamese girlfriend. When Fowler investigates a violent political faction, one that's fighting both the Communists and the rebels, he finds Pyle waiting for him around every corner. Phillip Noyce's incredibly suspenseful rendering of Graham Greene's novel is the most politically inflammatory American movie in years, one that should provide plenty of fuel to the fire for today's anti-war movement. SOUTHWIND 12 -SS Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck star in the Marvel Comics-inspired Daredevil. Affleck plays Matt Murdock, a blind man who becomes a lawyer by day and vigilante by night. Garner plays Elektra, an assassin and Affleck's love interest.

Little do they know that he's really an agent working for a secret teen CIA program. For his first assignment, Cody must enroll in a prep school to infiltrate a scientist who's developing a fleet of deadly nanobots. -SS Chicago Grade: B- Everybody sings and dances just swell in this Academy Award-nominated take on the Bob Fosse Broadway hit, but after Chicago is over you may wonder what all the fuss was about. Director Rob 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. -SS Cradle 2 the Grave Grade: C A bungled thriller about a booty of black diamonds with nuclear capabilities, Cradle 2 the Grave opens with an elaborate heist followed by a full hour of zero excitement. The filmmakers rarely find the time to showcase Jet Li's poetic acrobatics. At one point, DMX walks up a wall like a ninja. It's a cool idea to blend cultures and conventions like that, but this is the only time Cradle 2 the Grave tries to reinvent some of the East-meets-West vocabulary created by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in Rush Hour Daredevil Grade: D+ -ss Art and commerce collide in Daredevil, easily the worst comic-book fiasco since Dolph Lundgren played The Punisher. Ben Affleck stars as a blind Hell's Kitchen lawyer who sees audible objects in his head and haunts dreary New York rooftops to brutalize bad guys. 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. - SS Gods and Generals Grade: D+ Good as Gettysburg was, that's how godawful Ronald F. Maxwell's prequel is. The film dramatizing the first two years of the war between the states plays less like a drama about the Civil War than a high-school pageant re-enacting Notable Moments. With Robert Duvall, Jeff Daniels and Stephen Lang. PG-13. (Ends today) 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.

Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus The Hunted(not reviewed) (Opens Friday) William Friedkin directed two classics back in the '70s (The French Connection and The Exorcist) and then faded fast.

Tommy Lee Jones plays the Special Forces trainer hired to track down the killer. -ss The Life of David Gale Grade: C+ The Life of David Gale has the courage of its own convictions. What it lacks is the grace to transmit them with subtlety. 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. Overwrought and over-directed. —KRT Campus Old School Grade: B+ 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. A movie that spoofs the greek experience has the artistic license to be rowdy, bawdy and completely lacking in moral fiber. The director, Todd Phillips, plays by those rules while also giving the film an exquisite sixth sense for the kitsch 1980s nostalgia most yuppies just can't escape. And as a newlywed streaking his way to a quick divorce, Ferrell goes Farley in a comedy that's savvy enough to give him free rein. —ss Taut, enjoyable thriller with Al Pacino as a CIA scout who taps Colin Powell as an agent-in-training.

SS 14 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VIDEO GAMES THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 'Mega Man X6' provides more options The Blue Bomber is back and better than ever. Mega Man X6 is the latest episode in the Mega Man X series for the Playstation. Although this game might have been sitting on the shelves for a little more than a year, it hasn't been gathering much dust. And those who love the Mega Man and the Mega Man X games won't be disappointed. This game picks right up from where X5 left off. Three weeks have passed since the Eurasia Space Colony disaster. The Eurasia space colony became infected with the deadly Sigma Virus and was headed on a crash course straight to Earth. Zero—who in fact was not only immune to the virus but became stronger from it—took it upon himself to destroy the colony REVIEW by crashing into it. In the battle with S ig m a after Mega Man X beat him. S ig m a gave one last shot straight --- Chris Moore cmore@kansan.com PLAYSTATION MEGA MAN X6 CAPCOM Contributed art through X (Mega Man X) and Zero. Zero then countered with a shot from him right back at Sigma. The end effect left the colony in ruins and no sign of Zero. Three weeks later, a Reploid named Gate wanted to make an ideal world for Reploids by getting rid of all humans. It's up to X, known as the Blue Bomber, to stop Gate from completing his plans and also to find out what happen to his fallen comrade. The game play is still the same as all of the others. You pick a robot you want to fight, go through his massive stage fighting off other bots to get to the boss and try to blow him to bits. It may seem repetitive to some, but I never get tired of it. Ever since the days of Nintendo, I always kept up with the Mega Man X series. Mega Man X6 still has the same two-dimensional graphics as all the others (However, with the previews I've seen for X7, that may change). The greatest aspect of this game is the armor you collect. Unlike some of the previous Mega Man X games, you start with an initial suit of armor, but can pick up two new complete sets. Also unlike the other games, you can't use any parts of the armor until you find all the necessary pieces. The new Blade Armor pulls off new dash functions that are needed to pass certain parts of levels. The Shadow Armor is mainly used for close-range combat and lets you shoot in three different directions. And because X now can use Zero's Z-Saber (Zero's laser sword), the Shadow Armor gives it a faster and more powerful swing doing phenomenal damage. The Nightmare System is one new feature of this game. This randomly puts together some of the stages and changes the landscape and game play. So now, you can't expect everything to be in the same place as all the other Mega Man X games. One example of the Nightmare System is that sometimes some levels will have a weird shadow effect in certain parts of the level. This is a compelling new element to add to the game that creates more of a challenge by clouding X's visibility. MEGAMAN X6 ... A Now available for Playstation Rated E for Everyone - Sells for an average retail price of $30 Another new aspect of the game is the optional parts you can put on X and Zero. During the course of the game you must rescue some of your Reploid comrades and in exchange, some of them will give you optional parts to equip. The ranking you get from a level gives you more parts to equip. So, the better player you are, the more parts you can equip at a time. The parts system is an exceptional element to add in the game. These parts can give you certain power-ups that turn the course of battle in your favor. I always spent some time deciding which parts would better suit certain levels. Moore is a Tulsa, Okla., freshman in journalism. The Mega Man series never gets old. This game is definitely a must-own. It captures the old school play of Mega Man and adds on an exciting storyline for the game.

"What light from yonder penthouse breaks?" inquired Slovakiato as he rapidly pushed scratch noise buttons on the One-man Jam. Serenade deemed a disaster Editor's Note: In a recent Kansan column, Kara Warner proclaimed that "dating is defeated by casual sex." These lines saddened us here at the Tongue in Beak. And we feel partially responsible. In response, we sent staff writer Maka Slovakiato to take back the night, serenade style. As night let fall its veil on Saturday, Maka Slovakiato made his way to the window of his lady fair. With Valentines Day but a memory and all heart-covered decorations confined to a single cart of discounted items at Dillon's, Slovakiato, Olathe junior, was out to prove that chivalry is a year-round affair. His tools: A $5.99 haircut from Great Clips, the falsetto of a cherub, and a preprogrammed guitar-shaped beat machine called a "One-man Jam." The temperature was 42 degrees, skies partially cloudy. Gap bags fluttered cheerfully in the breeze, and the horns of pick-up trucks lifted Slovakiato's spirits. It was a perfect night for love. Upon ascending the fire-escape of Lawrence resident Ellie Becker's apartment, Slovakiato launched into a stirring medley of CeCe Peniston's "I like your smile," Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping," and Van Morrison's "Sweet Thing." After only a few bars, Becker opened the window and crossed her arms in apparent agitation. Once Slovakiato sang the last note, he exhaled passionately, and the following conversation ensued: E: Who are you? M: My name is Maka. I came to serenade you. E: How did you find this apartment? E: How did you find this apartment? M: I followed you home from the anti- war rally. E: Then let me hear a protest song. M: Those were protest songs. E: Please! You think you're the first guy to try and win me over with some fancy plastic beat-making toy? Think again! E: Tin-can troubador. M: (sniff) Pyrite princess. M: But why do we not cultivate affection between us in this time of war? E: Hello! We're not technically at war! M: But what about the war of looks that is now between us. E: Wait ... are you an English major? M: (pause) No. E: You're lying. M: I know. But I also work for Tongue in Beak. E: I heard you guys practice carelessness, sloth, cannibalism, ethnocentrism and witchcraft. M: Only Witchcraft. I have "Hocus Pocus" on VHS and DVD. I absolutely adore Bette Midler. E: No way. M: Sure (softly sings "From a Distance" over slow hip-hop beat. All is mellow). E: Wow. That was something. I almost want to (hears knock from inside) ... Oh no. It's my boyfriend. You have to leave. M: Boyfriend? But will I ever see you again? E: I don't know. Send smoke signals M: What about e-mail? E: Try carrier pigeons. M: But ... I think I love you E: Don't say that. Don't ever ever say that (slams window shut). Despondently, Slovakiato climbed down the stairs and wandered off into the night. He stopped in South Park to drink malt liquor with some Insane Clown Posse fans, and then walked through the student ghetto, where high schoolers in matching leather jackets made fun of his scarf. Intoxicated but unfazed, Slovakiato decided to try his luck at the Greek community, finally deciding on a nice-looking sorority house with green anwings just southwest of Fraser Hall. He cleared his throat and dove into the night's swan song. "Why are there so many songs about rainbows," he crooned in a cracked voice. A light came on in the house, and soon after a round-headed gentleman in a bathrobe walked on the lawn, a volume of Zora Neale Hurston tucked under one arm. "There, there, my son," the man said kindly to Slovakiato. "One day you'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers, and you." Squirrel's poorly selected lines: You know how a lot of times "no" actually means "no"? So I shat myself,but she didn't know until the potato sack race... Did you know that those candy machines in the ladies room are filled with paper sticks? I'm personally not gay, but... I was like, this video game is so much fun it's almost addictive. Wait, this isn't a video game, this is HEROIN. Robots to replace instructors By Lom Tehren beak@kansan.com Kansan satire writer After being years behind other state universities in enrollment technology, University of Kansas officials have announced a technological breakthrough that will likely have them at the top of next year's "Most Wired" list. A special committee unanimously approved the decision to replace the entire teaching staff with robots at a University budget meeting late Tuesday evening. "Most universities seem to like the idea, but KU is the first one that has gone through with the transition," said Tom Brood, Robot salesperson. The robots are manufactured by IBM using a new technology that puts the brain of an animal, such as a dog or lemur, into the mainframe of a robot. "Each robot acts differently," said Robert Lasher, a technician at IBM. "The type of animal brain in the machine determines how it behaves. For instance, the machines with dog brains should not be let outside because they keep getting hit by cars. Whereas the machines with chimp brains just tend to throw spare parts at glass windows." Broody said the animal brains enable them to answer questions on the spot and keep the curriculum interesting and challenging depending on the ability of the class. "At first I thought it was a bit strange to have a robot as an athletics coach," said Tammy Surego. "It's program involved it throwing a ball, and me chasing after it, then bringing it back. Then the robot would chuckle and repeat the process until the end of the hour." by Spencer Roberts/Kansan I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. A careworn copy of "The Te of Piglet," in hand, Paul Woodson discusses "The Tigger Tendency" with K9-69B, his Eastern Civilizations discussion leader. "His comment about America becoming Eyeore country was provocative, but most of his interpretations seemed programmed," said Woodson. When asked how she enjoyed teaching at the university robot VL-YN6's response was enthusiastic but cryptic. She rocked from side to side, spitting out her answer on a sheet of receipt paper. "Does not compute," it said. "Meow." The robots will start teaching in the fall semester and continue teaching through forever. 4 16 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ADVERTISEMENT THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2003 ABE&JAKE'S BUFFALO WILD WINGS GRILL & BAP CINOTES FRANCE WALLS granada JACKFRANGANS Jet tag lounge Root Room VELVET ROOM JACKKS ABE JAKE'S BUFFALO WILD WINGS CHILI & BAG Ultra Violet Electronic Dance Night $2.50 Any Bottle 1/2 Price Appetizers 8pm-10pm $1.50 Captain Morgan & Smirnoff $3.23 oz Domestics 1/2 Price Appetizers 8pm-10pm $2.25 Corona's $2.75-23 oz Microbrews $2 Bloody Marys $2.23oz Domestics $2.23 oz Domestics 1/2 Price Appetizers 8pm-10pm $0z Wings $2.75 any 23 oz Drift 0z tabs to choose from 1/2 price Appetizers 8pm-10pm $2.20 oz Domestics 2 Ball Drikes, 50s Wings College Night 1/2 Price Appetizers 8pm-10pm $1.50 Wells $1.50 Domestic Beers 3 Pitchers $2 You Call It 3 Pitchers $1 Shots $1.50 Big Beers Largest Dance Party in the Midwest Kelly Osbourne 6:30 pm DJ Brandon Morgan 10 pm Happy Spring Break www.thegranada.com Happy Spring Break www.thegranada.com St. Patty's Day No Cover & Live Music Happy Spring Break www.thegranada.com Happy Spring Break www.thegranada.com $1.50 You Call It Lance Night $1 Respair & Vodka Drib 1 aover 21 dumming $3 Unlimited Miracles $2.75 Long Island Ice Tea Free Pool All Day $2 Coors Light Bottles 60s Tacos 1/2 Pitte Big Rumbers 2 Doubled Prints 216 Wings $2 Big Beers Family Night larger than 10pm $2 Domestic Bottles $2 Wells $4.48 oz.

At Wednesday's Student Senate meeting, Ng wanted to veto a nonbinding resolution, passed on Feb. 26, that wished Mike Appleby well. Appleby was the transportation coordinator who ran KU on Wheels for the last two years but was called away for military service in January. "No doubt he was a great guy, and he has been a great service to the University," Ng said. "But that's not what a resolution should be for." The veto needed a two-thirds majority vote to override the veto. Senate overruled it 31-14, which was just more than two-thirds. A resolution is a statement from Student Senate that expresses opinion on behalf of the student body, Ng said in citing Senate rules and regulations. Instead of writing the resolution, Ng said a more appropriate means of honoring an individual student was in the form of personal letters. Ben Walker in 2000 was the last student body president to veto a bill. A student senator proposed a bill that wouldn't allow the president to veto nonbinding resolutions, which don't call for action. Senate's discussion made the issue personal versus procedural. Ng took the procedural stance. His opponents took the veto personally. Sam Pierron, non-traditional senator, said resolutions came and went. They may not stop a war, but they can at least voice disapproval. "In this case, it voices approval of a friend of mine who served on executive staff and as a student senator and has now been called to serve his country," he said. "I really don't see anything damaging about that." Crash sends 3 to hospital By Nicole Roché nroche@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Ng and Loren Malone, student body vice president, said such a personal resolution wasn't Senate business and that it could start a precedent that Senate didn't want to start. Chris Entwhistle, Queers & Allies Students returning home from Massachusetts Street bars early yesterday morning witnessed a sobering scene. At approximately 1:20 a.m. Sarah McWilliams, 25, of Grand View Plaza, drove north on the southbound lanes of the Kansas River Bridge and collided head-on with Emmanuel Gauna Jr., 51, of Lawrence. Gauna, McWilliams and a passenger in McWilliams' car were all taken on stretches to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. the accident occur as he was walking to work. Grame's friends, who were walking home after a night of barbopping on Massachusetts Street, also watched as rescue workers pried open the doors of the vehicles. John Grame, Lawrence senior, saw "They were saying the woman's name over and over again to keep her conscious," Grame said. "It took them 20 minutes to get her out." About 10 police cars and ambulances lined the bridge by 1:30 a.m. and traffic was blocked off. People driving home from Massachusetts Street slowed to gape at the scene. One bystander said at first it looked like the bridge had caved in because there were so many rescue Ray Urbanek, Lawrence Police Department lieutenant who was at the scene, did not say why the vehicle was driving the wrong way down a one-way street. "The cars are really smashed up," Grame said as the last ambulance left the scene. "I think one guy's legs are busted in several places." He said it was unclear how severe the injuries were at the time, but that rescue workers decided they still needed medical attention. Both cars had been smashed to two-thirds of their original sizes, and shattered glass was scattered on the bridge. Sgt.

The sophomore from Shippensberg University in Pennsylvania is part of a group that traveled to Lawrence during its spring break to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity. Jegen McDermott/Kansan Helpers visit to aid Habitat By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansans staff writer Lawrence, Kansas. Home of Yellow Sub, Free State Brewery and ... KU baseball? College students from Pennsylvania are in Lawrence this week to help build houses for Habitat for Humanity. During its free time, the group requested to attend a KU baseball—not basketball—game. Students from Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, Pa.. are representing their university's Christian Fellowship. All 20 will attend today's baseball game against Oral Roberts University at Hoglund Parkball. "We wanted to attend a Jayhawks baseball game because when I think about habitat, it seems building a house for other people is as American as apple pie and baseball," said Tim Bergner, Shippensburg senior and senior special activities supervisor for the group. The baseball team received quite a few requests for groups to attend games, coach Ritch Price said. Today is the best day to come to a game because each team's No. 1 pitchers go head to head, he said. "We're pleased to have them. Hopefully they play well so they can enjoy the experience," Price said. The group arrived in Lawrence Saturday and will leave tomorrow. They worked on three houses on Atherton Court, near 15th and Harper streets. The group worked on multiple assignments for each house including painting, sheet rocking, door fitting and roof work, said Linda Klinker, program manager for Lawrence Habitat for Humanitv. The group chose Kansas over a site in Georgia and Missouri. "We chose Kansas because it was a state many of us had not been to before," Bergner said. "We were curious to know what it was like out here." So far they have enjoyed Lawrence. It's quite a change from Shippensburg where the university has only 8,000 students, said Colby Windholz, Shippensburg freshman. "Shippensburg is actually a very small town. Not much going on. I've enjoyed going downtown to some of the coffee shops." Windholz said. Though Windholz is not the biggest baseball fan, he is looking forward to watching the game that will top off the week spent in Lawrence. "I think it will be a good time," Windholz said. "I'll eat some peanuts. I hear that's pretty baseball-ish." -Edited by Todd Rapp War may cause civil disobedience Local groups suggest they would act out if force begins in Iraq By Kelley Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Allan Hanson, Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice coordinator and professor of anthropology and humanities and western civilization, said that on the day war was declared peace activists would meet at the Douglas County Courthouse at 6 p.m. for a candlelight vigil. Lawrence protesters say they will step up anti-war demonstrations — even going as far as civil disobedience—if war breaks out in Iraq. The weekly peace vigils held Saturdays at the courthouse will continue. Hanson said the coalition would carry on its normal activities and might start teach-ins to educate people about what a war in Iraq could mean. Ryan Williams, Lawrence resident and member of the Black Cat Collective said he knew people who would be taking a more aggressive approach. Direct "Things have come to a boiling point, and I am sure there will be sit-ins and walkouts in Lawrence." action and civil disobedience is when people act in a disorderly manner that will call attention to authorities. This will happen in Lawrence, Williams said. "I think it will be pretty nuts," Williams said, "Things have come to a boiling point, and I am sure there will be sit-ins and walkouts in Lawrence." Ryan Williams Lawrence resident A more forceful way of protesting is needed to show the administration that anti-war activists are serious, Williams said. Participating in direct action and civil disobedience carries the possibility of being arrested, but Williams said that would not deter him. "There's always a chance of being arrested," Williams said. "We've come to expect it." "If efforts were made to silence us, it seems to be entirely appropriate to get our voices across," Hanson said. Using forms of protesting that breaks civil laws is not normal procedure for the coalition, but Hanson said he did not rule it out. Lawrence Police Department Sgt. Mike Pattrick said he didn't think protests would be disruptive. "I don't anticipate any violence in the city," Pattrick said. "But if it were to happen we would handle it like we handle any large event that happens." He also said Lawrence police had a plan in place if any disruptive protesting broke out. The number of officers on duty would increase as part of the plan, he said. Patrick said he had been pleased with the nonviolent peace demonstrations in Lawrence so far.

Terri Dieker, who is white, didn't give white students a similar talk, said Linda Aldridge, an assistant superintendent for the Leavenworth school district. Parents of the fourth- and fifthgraders at Nettie Hartnett Elementary say their children were singled out based solely on the color of their skin. "I thought it was appalling that they would even consider doing this without the consent of the parents," said George Hildebrandt, whose 10-year-old son Spencer was among the students. "They actually assumed those kids are dumb to start with when they haven't even taken the test." School district officials have apologized for the Feb. 28 incident and conceded the situation should have been handled differently. Aldridge said Dieker had good intentions and had decided to pull the students aside after a meeting in which principals discussed an article in an education journal. The author of the article had surveyed black high school students at a north Philadelphia high school about why they didn't do well on the tests. Aldridge said she had no plans to discipline Dieker. Horseback riding accident kills Fort Riley soldier FORT RILEY — A member of the Fort Riley honor guard died yesterday following a horseback riding accident. Deb Skidmore, representative for the post, said the soldier was not identified pending notification of family. The accident is under investigation. No further details of the accident were released by the post yesterday afternoon. The 17-member Commanding General's Mounted Color Guard is the historic post's mounted cavalry and considered ambassadors for Fort Riley and the Army. The soldiers wear 1860s cavalry-era uniforms and perform on horseback in parades and for demonstrations. Fort Riley was the Army's primary location for training cavalry soldiers until 1946 when the cavalry school was discontinued. WORLD German customs examining documents of KU alumnus BERLIN—German investigators are examining documents found in KU alumnus Don Johnson's car that list transactions totaling $8 billion, a customs official said Wednesday. Johnson's car was stopped for a routine check as he entered Germany from Switzerland in November with two other men, said Wolfgang Schmitz, a representative for German customs. Officials photocopied the documents,but they did not seize them and allowed the former Nash Bridges star to continue without formally questioning him, Schmitz said. "There is currently no indication of illegal transactions," Schmitz said. German customs officials are still evaluating the copies. U.S. authorities also were informed of the listed transactions in view of the sums involved, Schmitz said. Johnson, 53, also starred in the 1980s Miami Vice television series.

FRIDAY, MARCH 14,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 3A Despite nationwide debate, students still take ephedra Weight-loss drug causes reactions, sparks controversy By Nikki Overfelt noverfelt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Feb. 17 death of a Major League Baseball player linked to ephedra has sparked a nationwide debate over the legal herbal supplement. Based on a report by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Janet Rehquist, it is estimated that 100,000 Americans have experienced adverse reactions to ephedra in the past several years. In addition, more than 1,000 people have voluntarily submitted Adverse Event Reports associated with ephedra to the FDA. Ephedra, which comes from the Chinese herb Ma Huang, is an adrenaline-like stimulant mainly used for weight loss and performance enhancement. Ephedra is in the same class of drugs as amphetamines, said Lawrence Magee, director of the Sports Medicine Clinic at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Some of the possible side effects of ephedra are increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, increased body temperature, anxiety, paranoia, strokes and seizures, he said. There has been a mixed jury on whether ephedra is effective. Magee said. "In the studies I've seen it doesn't have much of an affect on performance," he said. "From my standpoint it's not a good performance-enhancing drug." If the dosage is pushed high enough it can have an effect, he said, but then the risk of side effects is high. As far as weight loss is concerned, it may be effective in some people because it does suppress a person's appetite. Magee said. "It doesn't give you a permanent type of weight loss," he said. Even if taken in the recommended dosages, ephedra can still cause problems, Magee said. "I don't know if I would necessarily quantify it as safe," he said. "I wouldn't be surprised if it gets taken off the market. I think the benefit to risk ratio is not very good." Using products with ephedra is popular with students, Magee said, because students tend to want a quick fix when it comes to losing weight and improving performance. Plus they aren't always concerned about their long-term health, he said. Zach Williams, Prairie Village sophomore, isn't too concerned about the recent warnings about ephedra, he said. He drinks Red Bull, a drink containing the stimulant, to boost his energy. "I have a good heart," Williams said. "I don't think the amount in Red Bull is going to knock me out." ephedra supplement for an energy boost before he started having tremors and heard about the health problems it could cause,he said. Although the small amount in Red Bull does not worry him, Williams used to take an Aaron Boos, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center, said he had seen the sales of products with ephedra decrease with the recent publicity. Almost everyone that has seen a negative affect from ephedra. Boos said, had health problems before taking it. "It's the best legal stimulant you can buy for dieting," he said. "It's about as good as you can get, but it does come with side effects." Before selling the products to customers, he checks to make sure they don't have any health problems, especially high blood pressure, that can escalated when ephedra is taken. Although herbal supplements do not have to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, at the beginning of this month the FDA started requiring warning labels on ephedra products. General Nutrition Centers nationwide do comply with the required labeling of ephedra products and do not sell them to anyone under 18, said Stephanie Mangigi, representative for GNC. "When used as directed," she said, "ephedra is a safe and effective part of a comprehensive weight management program that is helping millions of Americans every year."

Neil Mulka and Emily Elmore for The University Daily Kansan PERSPECTIVE Means of looming war meets no ends We're only a few days away from war now. Is it a war that will end a serious threat to us and the world? COMMENTARY PETER SCHNEIDER No. It will be one that will likely do more harm than good. Those opposing war have no sympathy for Saddam Hussein. He is known to have used chemical and biological weapons and, for that, deserves to be dethroned. Rather, we are concerned about the deaths this action will cause. Americans tend to have faith in smart bomb technology to surgically remove threatening structures and leave nearby buildings unharmed. But numerous examples of failures can be found in the past few years. During the NATO bombing campaign in former Yugoslavia, in early May 1999, a cluster bomb aimed for an airfield hit a hospital and killed 10 in the city of Nis. To be fair, this was not a smart weapon. But how much life was lost in this town because of the loss of a hospital cannot be known. Sam Lane opinion@kansan.com Even if the bomb is flawless, it can only be as good as the intelligence on the target. This point was hammered home on May 7, 1999, in Belgrade, the same time as the Nis fiasco. A B-2 launched three satellite-guided bombs, the latest smart weapons, which use global-positioning systems to find their targets in 3-D space. Two of the three bombs scored direct hits on what they thought — because of a CIA blunder — was the Serbian Federal Directorate of Supply and Procurement. It was actually the Chinese Embassy. This is especially relevant in Iraq because Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. We know he has anthrax, for example, because Uncle Sam sent him some from a lab in Maryland back when the United States was more worried about Iran. And any bomb, no matter how smart, that detonates over an armory with a hundred pounds of anthrax spores will only spread a hundred pounds of anthrax spores to the wind. The difficulty of identifying targets in Iraq is further compounded by Hussein's intermingled civil and military facilities. Bombing and other destructive acts cannot avoid civilian damage, and military intervention exposes our troops to the possibility of being hit with these weapons. The chaos of war introduces the possibility that such facilities could get lost in the confusion. To ferret them out, we need tough, thorough U.N. inspections with military backing. Inspections cannot be effective in the heart of a war zone. Hussein cannot use unconventional weapons against inspectors in a city, an Iraqi city, the way he can against troops on a battlefield. Sending troops to Iraq is the only way Hussein can seriously harm our country. It is true he has chemical and biological weapons and is probably close to having nuclear weapons. But he has no delivery mechanisms to hit a country half a world away. The Al Samoud missile, capable of hitting targets as far away as Israel, is the edge of his attack range and has no chance of hitting the United States. Even he can't be insane enough to smuggle such weapons into this country using suicide bombers because the United States could nuke his whole country. But the threat of war looming over his shoulder could push Hussein to do something desperate he otherwise would have sense enough to avoid. If dethroning Hussein was our intent, we would have done so in the Gulf War. We cannot guarantee his successor to be any more U.S.-friendly. In any case, war is not the best means to any of our ends. PERSPECTIVE Lane is a Leavenworth senior in psychology. Government preparing nation for horrors of nuclear scenario GUEST COMMENTARY Your government is telling you to prepare for nuclear war. That's right,you read correctly: nuclear In this 21st century post-Cold-War world, Americans are being told to prepare for the unthinkable horrors of a past age. 1 In the highest levels of government, both here and in the United Kingdom, policy-makers are pondering the most terrible destructive weapons ever produced. Jonathan Sternberg opinion@hansan.com What, you ask, is the reason for such discussion? The prospective war in Iraq. During the past few months, many signs of impending nuclear danger have arisen. On Jan. 26, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card Jr. articulated the Bush administration's position that, should Iraq use chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction, the United States would respond in with our weapons of mass destruction, which are only nuclear even though Iraq does not possess nuclear capability. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on Feb. 5 said, according to CNN.com, that "no sane person would wish to see that happen," but the Bush administration had nonetheless drawn up scenarios for just such a contingency. This was the first major threat of this sort from the United States, barring several gaffes between Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin in 1998, since the Reagan administration. I first became aware of the impending danger when I was perusing the CNN Web site a few weeks back. I followed a link to a Federal Emergency Management Agency document entitled "Are You Ready?", which was available from the agency at This document, which instructs Americans on how to prepare for everything from tornadoes to radiological dispersal devices, spends five long pages discussing the horrors of nuclear war and contains instructions on how to build and/or locate a fallout shelter in or near your home. Moreover, much like the "manuals" published by the government during the Cold War, the information contained in the manuals is, at best, misleadingly hopeful. www.fema.gov/areyouready. The U.S. government has not published a document like this since the height of the Cold War in 1987. As President Kennedy said in 1962, "The survivors ... would inherit a world so devastated by explosions and poison and fire that today we cannot conceive of its horrors." The most likely way the war would start an international nuclear chain of events would be for Iraq either to use chemical or biological weapons on either American and/or British troops, which the Department of Defense considers "highly likely," or to fire a weapons-of-mass-destruction-laden Scud missile at Israel. As early as Oct. 11, the National Journal published the Bush administration's nuclear war scenarios for Iraq. In either case, Iraq would receive a nuclear blow, as the United States, Britain and Israel have all promised to retaliate as Card previously warned. Should this occur, the Arab world would be in immediate and uncontrollable chaos. According to the National Journal, the Bush administration thinks the first and most likely Middle-Eastern government to fall would be Pakistan, which is a fledgling nuclear power. The new Muslim-fundamentalist government, now armed with nuclear muscle and incapable of attacking coalition or Israeli forces with its ultrashort-range ballistic missiles, would instead hit its most hated neighbor, India, as it continually threatens. Even if the nuclear chain ends there, the fallout from the thousand megatons of destruction on the subcontinent alone would likely kill most Americans and millions of others around the world after wafting across the Pacific, according to a Department of Defense study in 1999. Such a war, however, would be unlikely to stop there. India is a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, Britain is a member of NATO with the United States, and Pakistan is allied with North Korea and China, a whole other caboodle of problems. Unthinkable world war would ensue and, as Premier Nikita Khrushchev said in 1963, "The survivors would envy the dead." In the meantime, then, I suggest you party as hard as you possibly can.

The Topeka senior wants to find a career with an organization outside of government but for now is happy to be living the student life. "I'll probably have to get a pud job, and I'll still be broke," she said. "But I'm not too worried." It'll work out." With the economy down and the nation on the brink of war, seniors graduating soon may find it difficult to find the job they've dreamed of — or any job, for that matter. Gail Rooney, director of University Career and Employment Services, said employers were cautious. "The job market is tight right now," she said. "Employers aren't sure about the economy and with the global tensions we are experiencing no one is going to make a lot of hires." But there is hope for graduating seniors. Rooney said that didn't mean there weren't any jobs available, there just isn't an abundance. She said students could expect a three- to six-month search. "We tell job seekers that those who are best prepared for the job search will get the jobs," she said. Students who want to be prepared should have good résumés, be able to articulate their skills and desires and do research on their anticipated employers. Rooney also said the best sources of jobs could come from nearby. "The best contacts are the friends of your parents and parents of friends," she said. If someone is having difficulty finding something in their field, Rooney suggests looking in an industry that will hire no matter what the economy is like. "The food industry is somewhat recession-proof — people have got to eat," she said. "Jobs in accounting, sales, education and medical are all consistent suppliers." Rooney warns against selecting a major depending on what jobs will be available. She said people should choose majors based on what they care about and get a varied background. For those who need help, the University Career and Employment Center offers free assistance with résumés, mock interviews, targeting employers and other search strategies. They also offer the KU Career Connections for $40. After the fee is paid, the student's résumé is entered into the system and he gains access to online job postings and offers for campus interviews. For sophomores and juniors, Rooney said starting early with internships was a must. "Sixty percent of students looking for jobs have had internships," she said. "So if you haven't had one, you are at a disadvantage." For more information about University Career and Employment Services call 864-3624 or visit www.ukans.edu/~uces.

Mark Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., junior and Black Student Union president, says one of his goals as the group's leader is to recruit more African Americans to the University of Kansas. Dupree grew up in Wyandotte County, the poorest county in Kansas, and he said he hoped his story of overcoming economic and social barriers could help others. AndvSamuelson/Kansan BSU president says upbringing made him prove himself Edited by Brandon Gay By Henry C. Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer On the radio this week, listeners might have heard the voice of Mark Dupree promoting a trip by University of Kansas recruiters to Wvandotte County. Lending his voice to an advertisement for the trip has a special meaning for Dupree: He grew up in Wyandotte County. A junior at KU, Dupree's story is one of overcoming economic and social barriers on his path to leadership roles in the University and the Big 12. In addition to being KU's Black Student Union president, Dupree is also the president of the Big 12's Council on Black Student Government. "One view these ads are putting out there is that if I can do it, you can, too." Dupree said. Dupree said he hoped his story could help others in Wyandotte. Hometown Kid Wyandotte County, where Dupree grew up, is about 40 miles away from Lawrence. It may as well be on another planet. Wyandotte is Kansas' poorest county. "It's a well-rounded place." Dupree said about his hometown. "But it's a totally different place than Lawrence." Though there are pockets of wealth, the majority of the population falls into either lower-middle class or lower class income levels. share of struggles while he was growing up. "My family has been through some rocky roads in life, from being middle class to lower class, to being below," Dupree said. "But not once did I ever go without a meal; not once did I ever have to sleep outside." Dupree's father, Alvin Dupree, a pastor at a local church, provided an example to Mark growing up. "He would always tell me "Take care of your family," Mark Dupree said. "I don't care if you have to go without." There were times, Mark Dupree said, when his father would ride his bicycle to work to ensure his family was provided for. Dupree still goes home every weekend to attend church and spend time with his family. And he takes a special pride in his hometown of Kansas City, Kan., in Wyandotte County. "Wyandotte is the realization of life," Dupree said. 'Urban, Hard and Psychologically Challenging' Inner-city high schools can be a far cry from their suburban and rural counterparts. At Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kan., where Dupree attended, a "prove yourself" culture prevailed. That mentality provided an atmosphere Dupree described as "urban, hard and psychologically challenging." At Wyandotte, Dupree's fellow students did not always look kindly upon success. "I was a smart guy, but you've got to prove yourself," Dupree said. "Sometimes I had to get into a fight, and sometimes you had to let people know you're not a doormat." Though Dupree was involved in sports and other student organizations, he said his faith in God was the biggest aid through high school. "Mark saw the Lord when he was real young," his father said. "He's an old man in a young man's body." School was not always easy for Dupree. "He started out having hard time with school," said Linda Dupree, Mark's mother. "He struggled especially with reading and grammar, but he never quit." Though a few of his seven brothers and sisters have attended college, Mark was the first Dupree child to leave high school straight for a four-year university when he left Wyandotte High School for the University. "It was a big deal,it sure was," Linda Dupree said."Mark started out having such a hard time with school. "For him to graduate and go straight to college was tremendous." 'Shocking' Coming to the University Dupree said his first thought was that the entire atmosphere had changed. Dupree's interaction with white people, which had been limited before coming to the University, had increased exponentially. "For the first time I was living with white people," Dupree said. "Going to sleep seeing about 100 of them and then waking up and seeing about 24,000, it can be shocked." In an effort to quell some of the shock, Dupree became involved in the Black Student Union shortly after his arrival in Lawrence. After increasing his activity in the club during his first two years at the University, Dupree was voted president of the club at the end of last year. In his role as a leader, Dupree said he set high standards for himself and fellow African Americans Often times being successful takes more than one person's efforts, he said. "You've got to pull and push." Dupree said. "Push those that are above me and the ones that I can pull behind me or aside me, pull them on up." Along with his role in BSU, Dupree said becoming familiar with the Office of Multicultural Affairs had helped him succeed at the University. "I think the most important thing I've learned since coming to KU is that Robert Page is the most dedicated man on this campus for helping students," Dupree said of the Office of Multicultural Affairs' director. "You've got to pull and push. Push those that are above me and the ones that I can pull behind me or aside me, pull them on up." Mark Dupree Black Student Union president and Kansas City, Kan., junior Page and the Office of Multicultural Affairs offered Dupree an opportunity to get involved and, Dupree said, teach him a valuable lesson. "It shows the importance of passion in advocacy," he said. "Quite honestly if people didn't have care in the ones they help, I wouldn't be here." Though Dupree cites his father as his biggest influence, he said, Page was not far behind. Dupree said the influences of Page and his parents, along with the grace of God, have allowed him to become a successful leader on campus. Recently Dupree was named as the president of the Big 12 Council on Black Student Government, a role he said was both exciting and humbling. He will serve in his new role until February of next year. Dupree said though he would recommend the University to his brothers and sisters, the University could do more to increase enrollment of African-Americans. "We need to go out and get them," he said. "Go out and snatch every last one of them." — Edited by Michelle Burhenn Red Lion Tavern Red Lyon Tavern Red Lyon Tavern A touch of Irish in downtown Lawrence 944 Mass. 832-8228 Walk to Campus Campus Place APARTMENTS 1145 Louisiana • 841-1429 Apartments Available for Summer 2003 4 bedroom/2 bath with loft 4 bedroom/2 bath 2 bedroom/2 bath Fully Equipped Kitchens Furnished & Unfurnished Apt. available Gas, Heat and Water Private Balconies & Patios Off Street Parking 24 hr.

Dobson, a research professor for the Kansas Biological Survey, has studied the dangers of personal tracking devices being used to control the wearer's movements. Think back to high school English class and remember life in George Orwell's classic novel 1984. It was a world where Big Brother was always watching and people felt controlled. Flash forward to 2003 when a real form of control could take place, a form of control called geoslvery. "This technology makes Orwell's vision look amateurish," said Jerome Dobson, research professor for Kansas Applied Remote Sensing. A form of technology Dobson helped pioneer, known as geographic information systems, could assist a person in coercively monitoring and controlling the physical location of another individual—also known as geoslavery. GIS can be used by governments to predict populations at risk for terrorism and natural disasters through satellites and other technologies. When GIS technology is combined with a global positioning system, a radio transmitter and receiver, it becomes easy for someone to monitor a person's movements. Transponders can be added, in the form of a chip or a bracelet, to control an individual's movements through burns or electric shocks. Dobson said. Geoslavery can pose serious threats to the safety of children and women in abusive relationships, Dobson said. Some forms of the technology are commercially available. Dobson said parents had already purchased devices in the form of bracelets to deter kidnapping, and some parents in Great Britain have had chips implanted in their children. Parents have good intentions when purchasing the device, but it could prove harmful for the child. "Think about a kidnapper," Dobson said. "They're going to keep cutting until they find it." Dobson also posed the scenario of the woman in an abusive relationship and unable to make arrangements to escape because her every move is monitored. Sarah Terwelp, executive director of Women's Transitional Care Services, said her center had dealt with various forms of control of women for a long time. Women can already be tracked through social security numbers and credit information, she said "Obviously our biggest concern would be there are already so many barriers to a woman who wants to leave an abusive relationship. This would actually put those in physical terms," Terwelp said. Geoslavery also threatens people in countries with limited personal freedoms, Dobson said. He is not as concerned with countries like the United States, which has a strong stance on freedom; more so, he wonders about other countries. "Iimagine what's going to happen in countries where there is not tradition of personal freedom," Dobson said. "It will become a tool of repression like we've never seen before." Xingong Li, assistant professor of geography, teaches principles of GIS. He said he had not really addressed the idea of geoslavery but will in his last lecture of the year. "The only thing I can do is let them know about this technology and tell them the technology is used for both good and bad," Li said. "I can show them their responsibility as to how to use this technology." Michael Bellmyer, Olathe junior, is a student in the field of GIS. He said in the future, as an expert in the field, he would hold greater responsibility especially with a technology that could potentially be dangerous. "With any kind of knowledge and field you'll have certain responsibilities to take on," Bellmyer said. "I think that's kind of universal that the things you are responsible for are the things you have to safeguard." Revision of current laws and regulations are needed to protect individuals, Dobson said, but stalking laws offer some means of protection. Terwelp said legislative representatives must be more informed of the problem so they could start to make decisions to protect individual freedoms. "If the technology is available and out there we can't necessarily take it away. It's just how we can mold the use of it," Terwelp said. With this new technology, geography is becoming a discipline that is essential to understand, Dobson said. "Geography through GIS has the greatest potential for good of any discipline today," Dobson said. "It's also become the most dangerous of disciplines in terms of needing responsible, thoughtful development." Shulenburger: Credit funding to research center Edited by Todd Rapp By JJ Hensley jhensley@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Since 1996, research expenditures at the University of Kansas have increased by more than $120 million, essentially doubling the University's commitment to research. Even as other programs, such as the Kansas University Endowment Association, have experienced diminished returns in recent years because of the sour economy, the University's research expenditures have increased by at least $20 million in each of the last three years. Provost David Shulenburger said much of the credit for those ever-increasing coffers should go to the KU Center for Research. First it allowed the University to free itself from the state restrictions on spending research money that were in place on top of the federal restrictions. The KU Center for Research was created in 1996, shortly after the arrival of Chancellor Robert Hemenway, and reflects the chancellor's commitment to making the University one of the country's top-25 research universities, Shulenburger said. The creation of the center encouraged the University to make three key improvements in research, he said. Second, such federally funded research generates overhead, Shulenburger said. Before 1996 that money generated by research was used to cover costs in any number of programs outside research. "In '96 we decided to use all of that research overhead money to reinvest in research," Shulen-burger said. "We were able to buy new equipment and provide matching funds for research, and that really made a big difference." Finally, the creation of the center gave faculty members an increased incentive to work through one of the on-campus research centers. Before 1996 faculty members could do research for one of the campus centers, like the Institute for Lifespan Studies, but their schools would receive no compensation for the overhead their research generated. Now the center ensures the appropriate colleges get their fare share of that money. "All three of those things taken together really make the difference," Shulenburger said. "That's the story: we've got a great faculty to whom we've given even greater incentives." The bulk of those increasing incentives have come from the U.S. government. The University has been increasing federal funding by about $20 million per year, Shulenburger said. Typically those funds come through organizations like the National Institute of Health or the National Endowment for the Humanities. TOTAL RESEARCH EXPENDITURES Research funding at the University has almost doubled since 1996. Fiscal Year Dollars* 1995 $124 1996 $124 1997 $134 1998 $147 1999 $168 2000 $193 2001 $224 2002 $243 *in millions Source: KU Center for Research As director and founding father of the center, it's part of Robert E. Barnhill's job to maintain lines of communication with such organizations. When Barnhill got his job in 1996, the chancellor and the provost charged him with expanding external funding. His first task was to look at the University's research efforts to find pockets of excellence. At KU, those are life sciences and information technology. "Once we found what we were good at, we focused on those," Barnhill said. "Since then we've encouraged our faculty to work bigger, not harder. And to collaborate on projects that involve many students." The state's other research universities, Kansas State and Wichita State, each concentrate their research on agriculture and aviation, respectively. "Life sciences and information technology, those are sort of our mega-themes," Barnhill said. "We have a thousand other flowers blooming though, and we want them all to get attention, too." Life sciences receives almost $60 million a year in federal funding, Shulenburger said. But within that field there are a number of subheadings, including work done at University of Kansas Medical Center, the pharmacy program, the biodiversity research center, and the Institute for Lifespan Studies. Even though the Institute for Lifespan Studies is a social sciences program, it receives money from the National Institute of Health and is the largest externally funded program, Barnhill said. Among those blooming flowers are a handful of programs that have little to do with the life sciences at first glance, including the Hall Center for the Humanities, which receives most of its funding from the National Endowment of the Humanities. In addition to hosting interdisciplinary seminars throughout the semester, the Hall Center provides Humanities and other liberal arts students an avenue to funding. The main mission of the Hall Center has always been to help faculty develop in terms of research publication, said Hall Center Director and Professor of History Victor Bailey. "We don't see ourselves as a teaching institute," Bailey said. "We see ourselves as a research institute." But with that statement Bailey typifies the most predominate argument against the University's transition into a top-25 research University: The increased focus on research produces professors who don't have time to focus their energies on teaching. Such arguments don't make much sense to people like the provost though. In the last 10 years the proportion of classroom teaching done by teaching assistants has dropped by more than 10 percent, Shulenburger said. "It's the people who are really skilled at research who can prepare our students to step into jobs or graduate school," he said. "We are a research university and we aren't simply teaching in the classroom using other people's work," Bailey said. "We're teaching using our own work, and it's very important that we have faculty who are teaching and publishing at the same time." —Edited by Christy Dendurent Court dismisses suit challenging Bush BOSTON — A federal appeals court yesterday upheld a judge's decision to throw out a lawsuit challenging President Bush's authority to attack Iraq, dismissing arguments that Congress has unconstitutionally left the decision to Bush. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it had no business intervening without clear conflict between the legislative and executive branches. The court did not address the plaintiffs' argument that a congressional resolution authorized war with Iraq only with United Nations approval, saying the claim could not be evaluated because war has not started Last month, six Democratic congressmen, three unnamed servicemen and their families filed suit alleging that although Congress authorized a war with Iraq in an October resolution, it has not specifically declared war as required by the Constitution. The lawsuit contends Congress improperly gave Bush the authority to declare war.

We are committed to employing a diverse workforce FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 7A Collection contest reflects book appeal By Erin Ohm eohm@kansan.com kansan writer Oread Books and the University of Kansas Libraries are trying to encourage students who have a love for books by sponsoring the 47th Snyder Book Collecting Contest. "It's a good indicator that says people are still collecting books, and it's still a valuable thing in an age when everything is going electronic," said Angie Rathmel, a library assistant in Watson Library. Rathmil is one member of a three-member committee directing the contest. She said the contest was directed to help students gain awareness of the value of book collecting. KU Libraries is accepting entries for the contest until 5 p.m. March 31, and all KU students are eligible to enter. Last year the contest attracted 26 entrants, the most since the mid-1960s. Bill Myers, director of library development, said students could compile books on any area of interest, from sports literature to feminist writers to science fiction magazines. "Like collecting anything, it's got that special quality about it," Rathmel said. Myers said judges would consist of former contest winners, University faculty, local business owners and book collectors. Judges look primarily at the entrant's essay explaining how he tied all the works together and what led them to be interested in the subject, Rathmel said. Last year's first place graduate winner was Resha Cardone, who will be judging the contest this year. Cardone, Covelo, Calif. graduate student in Spanish and Portuguese, entered a collection on Chilean women writers. Part of her collection consisted of book objects, books that were disguised to not look like physical novels to evade military censorship during the dictatorship in Chile in 1973. "It's wonderful in that it's intellectual, but it's also very personal," Cardone said. "You have to demonstrate why it is you decided to collect these books and what it is that fascinates you about this topic." Cardone said some of the book objects she acquired included tarot cards and a shoebox full of paper scraps, both of which were created to avoid censorship. The contest has graduate and undergraduate divisions. Awards of $600 for first place, $400 for second place and $100 for honorable mention will be given to contest winners. Each winner will also receive a gift certificate to Oread Books. Prizes will be awarded and a reception held at 3 p.m. on April 22 at Oread Books. Winning collections will be displayed at the second floor in the Kansas Union. Prize money is awarded from a KU Endowment Association fund created by Elizabeth Snyder of Kansas City, Mo., who made the gift to reward contest winners. Snyder is a book collector who has donated several collections, including collections of A.A. Milne and H.L. Mencken, to KU Libraries. Veto CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A - Edited by Brandon Gay senator, agreed with Ng and Malone. Passing the Appleby, resolution would start a precedent that Senate is just a group of friends just wanting to thank its own, he said. Entwhistle said the Appleby resolution could discredit Senate because of this. So when Senate passes resolutions of weightier issues, such as lobbying state legislators about tuition increases, legislators could see the Appleby resolution and not take Senate seriously. "Senate was doing this for themselves and not their constituencies," he said. Senators supporting the veto also questioned the resolution's phrasing, which said that "Mike has been an excellent bartender, providing alcohol to many KU students of legal drinking age over the years," and "Mike has spun many hours of great tunes as a DI on KIHK." Entwhistle was one of 26 senators to sponsor the original resolution. He has since removed his name. John Paden, graduate senator, tried to offer up the compromise by asking why not wish Appleby well and also write a resolution to wish all students well who were deployed? Ng and Malone said this wouldn't solve their problem with the resolution. But Malone and Brian Thomas, resolution sponsor, said they would work on a writing a resolution to honor all deployed KU students. Film details history of drug prohibition in the United States By Nicole Roché nroche@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Edited by Christy Dendurent Chase Cookson wants everyone to know how much the war on drugs is costing America. "It's always billions of dollars, and it's getting bigger and bigger," said Cookson, who is president of KU Students for a Sensible Drug Policy. The drug war costs, which totaled $214.7 billion from 1980 to 1998, are broken down in the documentary Grass, shown at the Kansas Union last night to about 90 students. Students for a Sensible Drug Policy sponsored the event. Grass, narrated by Woody Harrelson, is an 80-minute history of drug prohibition in the United States. The film focused on legislation that has kept marijuana use illegal in the United States, from the El Paso Ordinance of 1914 to the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. "Anyone who is a pothead and wants to know why they're a criminal should watch it," Cookson said. Courtney Smith, Topeka junior, said the film did a good job of showing where marijuana use got its stigma. "I never thought about where the negative thoughts about marijuana came from," she said. "It kind of makes me angry." Another early marijuanacampaign promised users would The documentary chronicled early ad campaigns targeted at the "evil weed." One campaign told the story of a teenager named Marty who, after smoking marijuana, decided the fun way to open soda bottles was by smashing them against a wall. Marty's downfall occurred when he cut the inside of his mouth from the broken bottle. endure "physical and moral ruin — and death." Other campaigns claimed users would become insane, violent, addicted to heroin and be "in the grip of Satan." Chad Simmons, Lee Summit, Mo., freshman, said he initially heard about the film when researching for a project on marijuana last year. The film sheds light on drug use myths, he said. "I find myself interested in finding out more about stereotypes and where they come from," Simmons said. "This film seems like it does a good job of showing that." Simmons said that he supported decriminalization of marijuana. He said most of the time it seemed people were either completely for or against the drug. "There is a midway opinion there," he said, "but it isn't really expressed." — Edited by Brandon Gay NATION Protesters remain perched in trees EUREKA, Calif. — Eighteen tree sitters trying to save California redwoods from loggers stood firm yesterday against a court-ordered deadline to come down from their perches. The environmentalists spent a wet and windy morning shrouded in plastic tarps on their platforms, some at least 100 feet above ground. Pacific Lumber Co. served the tree sitters with a temporary restraining order Wednesday giving them 24 hours to come down, company spokeswoman Mary Bullwinkel said. Bullwinkel said there were no immediate plans to remove the protesters if they refuse, but added that contracted climbers have been hired in the past to remove similarly defiant activists The trees are part of a more than 200,000-acre redwood forest owned by Pacific Lumber. Court rules in favor of flag ban on highways SAN FRANCISCO — California cannot tear down political signs posted along highways without also barring the U.S. flag, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday. The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stems from a lawsuit brought by two women whose war protest signs were removed from over passes after the United States invaded Afghanistan. The court agreed with the women's argument that muffling their freedom of expression while allowing expression in the form of the flag was unconstitutional. To comply with the ruling, the state transportation department said it would bar all banners, including the American flag, from being posted on highway overpasses and along road-sides. The department began removing political banners in response to a rash of messages posted along highways following the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Trujillo said the department had been leaving American flags and taking down other banners because a California highway code allowed the flag to be posted along roadways. NASA spacecraft finds travel to Mars risky PASADENA, Calif. — NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft has confirmed suspicions that the radiation on Mars is so intense that it could endanger astronauts sent to explore the Red Planet, scientists said yesterday. The high radiation levels measured by the unmanned probe also suggest that any extraterrestrial life that might call Mars home would have little chance of surviving unless it were shielded beneath the planet's dusty, cold surface, said Cary Zeitlin of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute in Houston. The conclusions stemmed from new data released by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory from the first year of scientific results from the $300 million mission. NASA talks vaguely of future manned missions to Mars, where astronauts could use that ice for drinking water, fuel and oxygen to breathe. The new radiation findings suggest such a mission would be risky. One memorial to honor victims of Sept. 11 NEW YORK — Members of the agency overseeing the rebuilding of ground zero said yesterday they will erect a single memorial recognizing all of the World Trade Center victims equally — a move that is all but certain to lead to hurt feelings. That position puts the agency at odds with those who are demanding special recognition for the hundreds of firefighters, police and rescue workers killed on Sept.11,2001. During a meeting yesterday of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., board member Tom Johnson, who lost a son in the attacks, said, "What is called for is one memorial with no hierarchy of victims." Several other board members agreed, and said they would vote on a written resolution next month. Man sentenced to sleep in doghouse for 30 days ORANGE, Texas — A man accused of mistreating his 11-year-old stepson was ordered Thursday to spend 30 nights in a doghouse. Prosecutors said Curtis Lee Robin whipped Zachary Weiger with a car antenna, made him sleep in a doghouse and chop wood as punishment. The boy later recanted the doghouse allegation, and Robin denied making him sleep outdoors. But Robin did not dispute the other claims. He accepted a plea bargain that gave him a choice of 30 days in jail or 30 nights in a doghouse. He chose the doghouse so that he could continue to work as a foreman at a demolition company. Robin was to spend his first night in the 2-by-3-foot state-supplied doghouse in his front yard on yesterday. Rain was forecast. His lawyers argued he needed a bigger doghouse, a sleeping bag and mosquito netting. Judge Buddle Hahn said the state would provide a doghouse about the same size as the one the boy once claimed to have slept in. Robin is allowed to sleep with either his head or feet outside, since he cannot fit all the way into the doghouse. A police officer will patrol his home periodically each night to ensure he serves his sentence. The deal also called for Robin to serve eight years' probation and pay a $1,000 fine.

The Jayhawks began practicing this week without pads in preparation for the upcoming season. One of the first tackles of the 2003 season came early in the seven-on-seven passing drill Wednesday. 40 Mark Simmons, sophomore wide receiver, caught a short pass near the sideline and turned up field. Simmons broke away from a defender and was wrapped up by Nick Reid. The sophomore safety attempted to strip the ball away from Simmons. When the ball didn't come out, Reid slammed Simmons to the practice field grass. Some chest-bumping and trash-talking later, play resumed as before. It was the football team's first practice of the year, the players were not wearing pads, and the drill was supposed to be non-contact. In just a few short seconds, Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach, was proven a prophet. "Our players are tired of getting up at 5 in the morning to work out," Mangino said in last Friday's press conference. "They are very anxious to hit somebody." For the most part, the dummies were hit harder than the players. The first practice in full pads is March 24. Mangino said the goal of the practice was to learn assignments. "We had a very good first practice." Mangino said. "This is the most business-like practice I've seen in a couple of seasons—we worked hard to execute." Execution may be key for a team that finished the 2002 season with a record of 2-10 including an 0-8 record in Big 12 Conference play. The first practice featured several players in new positions. Reid was the team's leading returning tackler and sacker after a stellar freshman campaign at linebacker, but problems at safety led to a position switch. Dan Coke, a former bruising running back is now at safety as well. Former tight end Adrian Jones now plays at left tackle. Mangino said that Jones was a good fit at left tackle. "Adrian has excellent feet and is very strong," Mangino said. "He needs to get his weight up a little bit, but he bench presses 400 pounds and could be good for us at that spot." Quarterback Bill Whittemore and linebacker Banks Floodman, participated in limited drills. Both are recovering from knee injuries experienced last season. the medical staff at the end of the week, they would fully participate after spring break, Mangino said. If the players were cleared by Two players, linebacker Glenn Robinson and defensive tackle Tony Strickland, did not participate in practice because of injuries. The team's next practice is today, but is closed to the public. Edited by Christy Dendurent Basketball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A The Cyclones beat the Aggies 97-70 to get to the second round for the first time since 2000 when the Cyclones won the Big 12 regular season title and the tournament championship. Eustachy said he was proud of his team, but he cautioned it after yesterday's game about playing Kansas. "It was a great win and we'll get some pats on the back in the hotel lobby from some boosters, and that's fine," Eustachy said. "But we got possibly the best team in the country that we're playing tomorrow and they're a runaway freight train under control." In two previous match-ups this season Kansas had little trouble defeating Iowa State. The Jayhawks opened up conference play with an 83-54 victory over the Cyclones in Ames, Iowa, on Jan. 6. In the Feb. 16 rematch in Lawrence, Larry Eustachy was kicked out of the game after two technical fouls, and Kansas methodically won 70-51. Kansas closed the season out after its second victory over the Cyclones winning five of six games putting the Jayhawks in position for a number one seed in the NCAA tournament. continued from page 12A Rankings factors when making decisions and are the consummate bracketologists. Perhaps the most well-known part of the decision making is the Ratings Percentage Index, or RPI. A complex formula, this is the mathematics portion of deciding who gets to go to the NCAA tournament. The RPI gauges Division I winning percentage (25 percent), schedule strength (50 percent) and opponent's schedule NCAA Selection Shows Men's Hoops: NCAA Selection Show at 5 p.m. Sunday on KCTV Channel 5 Sunflower Broadband, and 6 p.m. Sunday on ESPN Women's Hoops: NCAA Selection Show at 4 p.m. Sunday on ESPN strength (25 percent). These factors are combined to create a decimal that is used throughout the selection process. The Big 12 has three teams in the top five in the RPI, with Kansas at No. 5. As a conference, the Big 12 has the second- best RPI to the Southeastern Conference. The RPI is used mostly for deciding between teams with similar records, it has been used since 1981. Joe Lunardi, ESPN.com's resident bracketologist, said the RPI is not the most important part of the decision-making process. "Three factors rise above all others—who did you beat, when did you beat 'em, and where," Linardi said. There are 31 automatically qualifying teams who make the tournament by winning either the conference title, or if the conference has one, the conference tournament. After that, 34 at-large teams are invited to complete the 65-team tournament. The 64th and 65th best teams play each other for the right to play the best team in the tournament. After picking the field of 65, the committee must then seed the teams, and several more factors arise. Sienna College, Texas San-Antonio, Minnesota, Boston College, South Florida, Vanderbilt University, Butler University, Utah State and Washington State all cannot play in certain regions because The Final Four is on a three-year rotating cycle that decides which regional champions compete. This year's edition, located in New Orleans, features the East versus South and West versus Midwest. The winners meet in the NCAA championship game. their home courts are hosting tournament games and the teams would have a home-court advantage. Although the NCAA doesn't allow the home-court advantage for the tournament, other high-seeded schools compete close to home to give fans less travel time time. kansan.com the student perspective "You don't need as much time preparation for the conference tournament because you already know a lot about the teams," Williams said. The only difference in this season's tournament is the change of venues from Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., to the American Airlines Center in Dallas. — Edited by Amber Byarlay Kansas coach Roy Williams said in his press conference on Tuesday that it is not difficult to prepare his team to play in the conference tournament. The NCAA tournament selection show will be Sunday evening after the tournament games have been played. NCAA tournament play commences with the play-in game on Wednesday. Bo Carter, Big 12 assistant commissioner, said this would be a good year for the Big 12 because there have been three teams in the top-10 for nine weeks. He said the conference should have six or seven teams in the tournament with possibly two No.1 seeds. - Edited by Amber Byarlay Speak Your Mind Online poll weekly at kansan.com Senior forward Nick Collison said he thought the Jayhawks needed to focus on their play but could be considered with a lot of other teams as possibly getting the No.1 seed.

Recently, college basketball has been marred by seemingly unending and wholly embarrassing academic and misconduct scandals. Just a month ago, students and senior citizens alike were foaming at the mouth, stockpiling snack food in preparation for a two-week stint on the sofa for what could be the most upset-ridden college basketball tournament in recent memory. But now, on the verge of Selection Sunday, it doesn't feet quite the same. The aura of sanctity and purity that exists in college basketball has been shaken as of late, and the list of the guilty seems to be growing longer every day. Georgia coach Jim Harrick was suspended and the school withdrew itself from any NCAA or Southeastern Conference tournament play after an investigation showed sign of possible academic fraud within its program. The suspension comes less than a week after Harrick's son and Georgia assistant coach Jim Harrick Jr. was relieved of his duties with the team because of allegations of academic fraud. Following in your father's footsteps isn't always best. Villinova was forced to play in the Big East Conference tournament with only seven player after 12 were suspended for making unauthorized calls using a university code. Fresno State also joined in the fun as a former student said he wrote papers for FSU basketball players. Fresno State has since been banned from post-season play, and the players will be forced to rely on study aids to write their papers. But all of these moves don't even come close to the debacle of St. Bonaventure After the Bonnies were told they must forfeit six Atlantic-10 Conference victories, the team refused — that's right refused — to play its remaining two games, one of which was an opponent's Senior Day. Not only that, but St. Bonaventure's president has since been fired, and it is predicted that the coach is not far behind. The A-10 is thinking of kicking the school out of the conference Even the impending NCAA tournament can't quell the bad luck college basketball is enduring. If the United States goes to war with Iraq during post season play, CBS has conceded it might move some games over to Viacom-owned MTV, VH1 or TNN in order to accommodate coverage from the Middle Eaet Don't worry students, I'm sure TRL won't be pre-empted. The NCAA tournament will still be special, but this March will have a little less Madness. Zollar is a Chicago junior in communications. Confidence crucial for softball By Steve Schmidt sschmidt@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter While most students will head off on spring break, the Kansas softball team will head off to Stillwater, Okla. on Saturday to get back to work after a 12-day break of its own. When Kansas takes on New Mexico State in Stillwater on Saturday they will take to the field with a No.25 ranking. The Jayhawks were crowned the No.25 team in all the land in the latest USA Today/National Fast pitch Coaches Association poll. It is the team's first national ranking since finishing the 2001 season with a No.25 ranking after going 32-27. Kansas (14-4) will play the Texas A&M in a doubleheader on Saturday, beginning at 1 p.m. On Sunday, Kansas will take on No. 23 Oklahoma State at 2 p.m. and again on Monday at 5 p.m. New Mexico State (3-26) comes into Stillwater after finally snapping a 16-game losing streak, by defeating Utah State 6-4 in its last game. Oklahoma State (18-6) makes up just one highly ranked Big 12 Conference foe sitting on the Kansas schedule. Currently, six Big 12 teams are ranked in the top 25. The Cowgirls recently won the Speedline Invitational in Tampa, Fla. after upending then No.13 Stanford 3-1 in the championship game. The team is lead in the pitching by senior Lauren Bay who was named last week's Big 12 Pitcher of the Week after going 5-1 with 92 strikeouts in the Tampa tournament. Kansas has had some pristine pitching as well. Despite having only a two player rotation, the team has been anchored by the steady arms of junior Kara Pierce and senior Kirsten Milhoan. Pierce is 10-3 on the year. Milhoan is 4-1. "We talked at the beginning of the season that the pitching staff was going to have to lead us," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. "They have been everything we've asked of and a little bit more." the Jayhawks return to action after winning the Crimson Classic in Tuscaloosa, Ala., two weeks ago with timely clutch hitting and solid pitching. Bunge said she was pleasantly surprised with her squad thus far. "We're not always winning pretty, but in close ball games we're finding ways to win, "that's the bottom line." Bunge said. "With a young group you expect them to get better and get confidence." "This is going to be great week to see where we're at," Bunge said, "but this is not going to be an easy week. We're exited about it because it's a challenge to us and we can see where we stand nationally." "I definitely don't think people think we would be where we are right now, but as a team we're not surprised at all," junior catcher Dani May. "As a team we're playing with a lot of confidence and we think we can play with anybody." Junior catcher Dani May said her team's success didn't come as quite of a shock to the rest of her teammates. She said all their off season work began to show dividends. After returning home Stillwater, the team's confidence will surely be put to the test. The team will be on the road to meet up with Southwest Missouri State and Missouri before returning to Lawrence for a home opener with No. 6 Oklahoma on March 22. Bunge said her team was about to head into "the meat of the schedule." KANSAS BASEBALL Former player chosen to advance in tryouts More than 60 big league wannabes tried out yesterday for the official Spring Tryouts of the Kansas City T-Bones minor league baseball team. Former Kansas outfielder Jesse Gremminger was chosen as one of nine players to advance to the next round of the process. In 2001, his final season as Jayhawk, Gremminger started 52 out of 53 games and batted. 286. He also registered a team high 42 RBI. Kansan staff report Edited by Todd Rapp BASKETBALL UCLA pulls upset against No.1-ranked Arizona LOS ANGELES—Its storied reputation sullied for most of the season. UCLA pulled off another surprise under beela- guered coach Steve Lavin. The Bruins stunned No. 1 Arizona 96-89 in overtime Thursday in the opening round of the Pac-10 Conference tournament. Jason Kapono led five Bruins in double figures with 26 points. T.J. Cummings added 18 points before fouling out, while Ray Young had 17, Dijon Thompson 15 and Andre Patterson 13 and 12 rebounds. Rick Anderson had a career-high 23 points and 11 rebounds for Arizona. Channing Frye also had 23 and Salim Stoudamire added 17. The Associated Press In overtime, the Bruins outscored the Wildcats 14-7. Arizona senior Jason Gardner, usually so reliable, was 0-for-12 from 3-point range and finished with six points. UCLA took an 87-82 lead to start the extra five-minute session. Stoudamire had five points and Frye added a basket for Arizona's only points in overtime. Texas Tech defeats Baylor The Associated Press DALLAS — Texas Tech still hasn't given up on making the NCAA tournament. Andre Emmett rebounded his own miss and made the go-ahead basket with 12.4 seconds left and the Red Raiders beat Baylor 68-65 in the Big 12 tournament Thursday night. The Red Raiders (17-11) scored the game's last 10 points as Baylor — after making 13 3-pointers — didn't manage a point in the final 4:53 of the game. Baylor (14-14) trailed just 66-65 after Emmett's basket and had one more chance. R.T. Guinn, who had 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting, passed up an open shot and instead gave the ball to John Lucas, who missed badly on an 8-foot shot. Texas Tech moves on to play third-ranked Texas (22-5) in a quarterfinal game Friday night. The Red Raiders will likely have to win two more Big 12 games and get into Sunday's final for an NCAA berth, but seem guaranteed at least an NIT bid. The Red Raiders ended a three-game losing streak, their longest under Knight, who said this week that he wouldn't accept his $250,000 base salary for this season because he hadn't lived up to his own expectations. Emmett finished with 23 points, and as the final flurry was ending shouted in celebration as the Tech-heavy crowd continued in a frenzy in the junior's hometown. Offense CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A Anderson played both wide receiver and tight end at Alfred State College in New York. Anderson will play inside or split out in the slot to take advantage of potential mismatches. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 9A The other receivers are a year older, and there is a potential for several wide receivers to make an impact this year. Brandon Rideau gained some weight and became quicker this spring. At 6-4, the junior wide receiver is a tall target, but last fall, he weighed just 180 pounds. He had 27 catches last season. At 5-7,165 pounds,senior Derick Mills is certainly not one of the larger players on the football team,but he is one of the fastest.The senior is one of the big play receivers on the team and caught 22 balls last year. Mark Simmons returns for the Jayhawks after a stellar freshman season when he caught 23 passes, including two for touchdowns. Some other receivers who could make an impact are Leo Bookman and Greg Heaggans. Heaggans returned kicks for the Jayhawks last season, including a 100-yard return for a touchdown against Southwest Missouri State on Sep. 14. Bookman, meanwhile, is a world-class sprinter who, right now, is busy preparing for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend. Also, freshman running back Clark Green has proven to be a steady passing option out of the backfield, leading the receivers last season with 37 catches for 408 yards.

HOLY MONTH OF THE WEEK HOROSCOPES Today's Birthday (March 14) Relax as much as possible from now through July. Your workload may increase noticeably after then. Schedule special time with family and friends ASAP. This year, you get to eat dessert first. Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 7. Continue to rest and recuperate. You don't have to be Mr. or Ms. Macho all the time. You have permission to avoid a potential conflict. Schedule it for the 23rd or 24th. Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7. You're opening yourself up to all sorts of new ideas, from people you might not have heard before. Explore different perspectives, and the world becomes a safer place. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Today is a 6. You already have several uses for the money you recently made. It seems like a lot, but it could be gone fast. Don't spend it all in one place. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Today is a 7. A problem you've encountered is more like a challenge. How much is too much? When it comes to money or food, there's no such thing. Store it carefully. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 7. The more you complete the things on your lists, the more energetic you'll get. You may have more enthusiasm when the day's through than you did when it started. Go dancing! Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7. Meet with your team and work out your plan so that everyone knows what to do. Later, you can go your separate ways. You'll make sure it all gets done. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22), Today is a 7. Recent career advances move you into a new social circle. New friends can help you solve new problems. Let them know what you need. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).

The adventure you seek is possible, but will take a little work. You'll have to be frugal and study not necessarily in that order. Dapricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7. Consult your financial advisor to get your expected costs. The trick is to get the very best thing without going far into debt. You can do it. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today is a 7. Your recent accomplishments could put old fears to rest. You're almost ready for bigger challenges. But first, relax with a friend. Pisces (Fab, 19-March 20). Today is an 8.

With that said, the Big 12 Conference is arguably the best conference this year. Wonder why? Look no further than to the men in the suits. The coaches in the Big 12 are a major factor to the overall success of the conference. For instance, coach Dave Bliss of the Eaylor Bears has helped turn that program around in three seasons along with achieving a milestone as the 92nd coach in NCAA history with 500 victories. Bobby Knight from the Texas Tech Red Raiders came from Indiana two years ago and helped ignite the team in Lubbock. While this season has not been as successful, last year Texas Tech showed its worth with 23-9 record and an NCAA tournament berth. By the way, Knight gets my coach of the year vote by turning down his $250,000 salary because he thought the team did not accomplish goals he set for it. Knight said it was nobody's fault but his own, and that was a mark of a great coach. What is even more impressive are the coaches at schools considered mainly for their football dominance. Basketball coach Rick Barnes has catapulted the Texas Longhorns this season as a national powerhouse and one game shy of the regular season Big 12 title. Texas has long been considered a football juggernaut, but now the Longhorns are hunting for a national championship. The Oklahoma Sooners are also considered main for football. Basketball's Kelvin Sampson coaches this team and his Sooners are considered the toughest team in the Big 12. Two years ago, the team made it to the Sweet 16 and Oklahoma marched all the way to the Final Four last season. Oklahoma now has the best athletics program in the nation. In eight seasons, Sampson has compiled an impressive 187-74 record and become one of the best coaches in the nation. Even at border rival Missouri. Quin Snyder has kept the Tigers in the upper echelon of the Big 12 in each of his coaching seasons. Missouri also went deep into the tournament last season by earning a spot in the elite eight. Like him or not, Snyder is winning 20 games a season and has a record of 62-58 in three seasons. been called to duty Don't forget the Oklahoma State Cowboys with coach Eddie Sutton, who's high respected in the coaching commu- highly respected in the coexisting community. With more than 700 victories and an overall record of 272-114 at Oklahoma State; this man deserves the high praise from every coach in the country. Last but not least is our own Roy Williams and the most popular person Lawrence. Williams won the lads over further when he decided to stay at Kansas instead of coach at North Carolina. Last season was a historic season for Williams and the Jayhawks when they won the regular season Big 12 crown by going undefeated in confer- ence play and then made it all the way to the Final Four only to lose to last year's champions, the Maryland Ternpins. After taking over for Larry Brown 100 players from 84 teams in Williams has not even won 100 games in 15 seasons of work. He is 40-16 in Big 12 play and has led Kansas to 13 straight 20-victory seasons, and he has an overall record of 412-99. useful information While watching the Big 12 tournament, consider not only the great players on the court but also the men who coach them.

Each fan has a different way of deciding who he thinks will make the NCAA tournament, where the team will be seeded and who will win it. We all know a fan who crunches the numbers, knows the statistics by heart and predicts the game outcomes by how many victories the team has on rainy nights against yellow-uniformed teams with left-handed shooting guards after playing on consecutive Thursdays. Then there is that person in the office pool who always wins by picking, teams with the cutest mascot and prettiest colors. It is March Madness' random nature that drives fans to cheer for breakaway dunks and cry at missed free throws in the warning minutes of tournament games. But how do the teams get there, and who chooses the teams that go dancing? From the prom queen beauties such as the Arizona to the cinderellas such as Troy State, a 10-person NCAA tournament selection committee meets throughout the weekend to make bracket choices. The committee consists of university athletics directors, conference commissioners and associate commissioners. Kevin Weiberg, Big 12 Conference commissioner, is a committee member.

The Jayhawks, who with the loss dropped to 16-5 on the season will host Oral Roberts (4-5) at 4 p.m. today to kick off the series. After the game, the teams will travel to Tulsa, Okla. to finish the series. Junior outfielder Josh Lex leads Oral Roberts in batting with a .353 average and is second on the team with eight RBI. Senior Kevin Wheeler is expected to start on the mound for the jayhawks today. He is 3-0 on the season with an earned run average of 3.51. Junior losh Duran will follow Wheeler and start tomorrow's game. Duran is 2-1 with a 4.13 earned run average. Senior Pat Holmes or sophomore Kenny Falconer will start Sunday. The team will also rely on its bullpen this weekend, which is led by juniors Brandon Johnson and Chris Smart. Johnson has an ERA of 1.08 and Smart has a 4.00 ERA, while Johnson is 4-1 on the season. Head coach Ritch Price said assistant coach Abney have done a wonderful job with the pitches. "Johnson and Smart have been rock solid out of the bullpen this season, and Ryan Knippschild had been pitching well also before he began starting games." Price said. Offensively, the Jayhawks have three guys batting more than .380 in Wheeler, senior Casey Spanish and junior Matt Tribble. Spanish leads the bunch with a .434 average. Spanish also leads the team in runs scored, hits, triples and RBI. While Spanish and Tribble both patrol the outfield along with senior Lance Hayes, Price has been pleased with the emergence of the team's middle infield which consists of senior Brandon Shepard and freshman Ritchie Price. Price has been solid defensively for the Jayhawks so far this season and has not committed an error while batting 328. Shepard, who struggled early this season, hit his first home run of the season Tuesday against Arkansas and provides leadership for an infield in which he is the only senior. "Brandon is a very good player defensively, who is struggling at the plate a little bit." Price said. "Ritchie is playing as well as a second baseman can play right now. We also feel like we have two other plus defenders in the infield with Travis Metcalf and Ryan Baty." Edited by Amber Byarlay Football to find its strength in the air Experience is key in Jayhawk offense By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer When watching the Kansas football team this fall, fans should expect to see passes spiraling through the air when the Jayhawks are on offense. With a proven quarterback in junior Bill Whittemore and a more experienced wide receiving corps, the passing game should be a major source of improvement on the team. 4 Coach Mark Mangino said Whittemore was still recovering from his knee injury suffered against Missouri last season. "As far as his knee, he is in pretty good shape," Mangino said. "The first three practices we have with him, we are going to go slow with him." best passing day of the season against Missouri, with 242 yards passing, when he was injured in the third quarter.

"He is going to be huge for us when it is all said and done," Mangino said. "He's very athletic, makes tough plays, and I think that he has the chance to play at the next level." Anderson said Mangino had recruited him by saying he would get chances to catch the ball. "He said how they will try to incorporate the tight end in the offense," Anderson said. "He talked about how they used Trent Smith at Oklahoma." In Mangino's last season as Oklahoma's offensive coordinator, Smith had 61 catches for 564 yards and six touchdowns. Anderson, at 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, has size that poses problems for opposing defensive bucks. He also has great speed, with a 4.65 second 40-yard dash time, and has a speed advantage over manny linebackers. SEE OFFENSE ON PAGE SA H Monday March 24, 2003 Vol.113.

By JJ Hensley jhensley@kansan.com kansan staff writer Five of the University employees work at the Med Center, and the 14 remaining staff members and all of the students are from the Lawrence campus, said Kevin Boatright, associate executive vice chancellor for university relations. "We got the staff information from human resources and that was updated as of the end of January." Boatright said. Kellev Weiss/Kansan Boatright acknowledged that there may have been more staff members called to duty since then. The student numbers were provided by the registrar's office and reflected students who reported leaving school to serve in the military as of last week, Boatright said. "The registrar had even more recent numbers, At the University of Kansas, 27 students and 19 staff members have been called to serve as active reserves.213,000 reserve and guard troops have been called to duty nationwide. but there may be more students who have left school and didn't bother to tell us why." he said. The students and staff are actively serving in the military and could be stationed anywhere from Fort Riley to Umm Qasar. The University is not at liberty to release the names of these servicemen and women, or where they might be engaged, Boatright said. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, these 46 students and staff members are among 2,494 Kansas members of national guard and reserve units mobilized as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Nationwide, 213,000 reserve and guard troops have been called to duty. On Thursday, following the United States-led invasion of Iraq, Chancellor Robert Hemenway released a statement that reiterated the University's commitment to academic freedom and offered support for the troops. "With the outbreak of war in Iraq, our thoughts are with the coalition military forces—some of whom are KU students, staff or alumni—as well as the innocent civilians affected by this conflict," the statement read. "Compared with their sacrifices at this time, any inconveniences we may suffer due to heightened security precautions are insignificant." Boatright said vacant staff positions would likely be considered a temporary absence with co-workers doing extra work to fill in for colleagues in the military. To help students, staff and family members stay current on the status of KU during the war, the University created a Web site (http://www.ku.edu/emergency/) containing useful information about the nation's emergency alert status, campus emergency procedures and related news releases.

Reactions to war Long-awaited conflict brings mixed opinions from students, faculty By Henry C. Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In basketball-crazy Lawrence, even March Madness played a small role last week, as the University of Kansas community reacted to the news that the United States' long-awaited war with Iraq had begun. As a CBS News alert briefly interrupted coverage of Kansas' first round NCAA tournament game against Utah State on Thursday night, Dan Rather's presence was initially greeted with boos at Buffalo Wild Wings. The crowd of approximately 150 people gathered to watch the game quieted quickly, however, when they realized Rather was on screen announcing some of the first U.S. casualties of the war. "This is a preemptive attack against another country who has not aggressed against us." Hanson said. "This is a country who does not even pose a threat to us." "Initially I don't think they knew what the interruption was for," said Zarif Hague, Manhattan senior, who bartended at Buffalo Wild Wings on Thursday. "Once they realized what was going on, the crowd was pretty respectful." Allan Hanson, professor in anthropology, who has been coordinating antiwar protests in Lawrence, said protesting the war was a patriotic duty. Elsewhere in Lawrence, a predictable war was met with predictable responses. Mimicking larger protests in New York and Washington, D.C., anti-war demonstrators gathered in front of the Lawrence court house Thursday night. The protest plan had been in place since the war with Iraq became imminent. Pro-war groups also rallied in front of the Lawrence court house on Wednesday night as word of the war's start became widespread. Their demonstration was marked by an anti-war counter protest across the street. Though he did not attend any of the pro-war rallies held over spring break, Chris Cullinan, Olathe junior, said he was relieved the war had finally started. "Everybody's been waiting for so long, you go through resolution after resolution," he said. "I think in a short period of time, we can do so much to rid the region of a lot of conflict." Despite massive media coverage, some students, such as Chris Cooper, Goodland junior, still haven't formed an opinion on the war. "I don't think it's right that America has its nose in everybody's business," he SEE REACTIONS ON PAGE 12A Delivering a deadly message War journalists risk lives to bring the news of conflict Editor's note: The following story originally appeared in Jayhawk Journalist, the University of Kansas' journalism alumni magazine. INFORMATION CENTER By Todd Rapp trapp@kansan.com kansan senior staff writer He didn't smoke, but Douglas Farah carried cigarettes whenever he was on assignment overseas. Farah, a 1985 University of Kansas graduate and a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post, always carried cigarettes and candy with him to serve as a peace offering in case a situation became hostile. Illustration by Amanda Johnson/Jayhawk Journalist In the spring and summer of 2000, he was covering the civil war in Sierra Leone. One rainy July day, Farah and his guide had stopped to photograph workers in the diamond fields of Eastern Sierra Leone. Control of the fields was vital to the Revolutionary United Front; with the diamonds, the RUF could barter for and purchase weapons. As a Caucasian, western journalist, Farah was noticed and quickly surrounded by members of the RUF. The rebels escorted Farah and his companion to their local commander, Major Nikols. As they approached Nikols, Farah offered a local, filterless brand of cigarettes to everyone present to help ease the situation. After all, Farah said, the guerrillas all smoked. The 35-year-old Nikols was sitting under a tree while one of his men held a large, blue and red plaid umbrella over him. Nikols explained that he normally had foreigners taken away and their throats slit; the RUF was fighting United Nations forces at that point. However, holding one of Farah's cigarettes in his large hand, he smiled and laughed. "Not today." he said: Farah explained his intentions, and Major Nikols offered him a deal: four pictures for two packs of cigarettes. Farah explained he would like more than four.

Doty, who was a professor of English at the University, died Thursday at her home. Lawrence police do not suspect foul play. "Carolyn had a spark and insight I have never seen before or since," said Fowler, who graduated from the University in 1990 and has published five books and produced one screenplay. "I don't think her spirit, joy, grace and intelligence will be easily replaced." Doty, 61, joined the University faculty in 1986 and had an active role in the University community. She served on the tenure and calendar committees. Doty published four books, including Fly Away Home, and Whisper. Doty had been teaching two sections of fiction writing. James Hartman, department chairman, said a professor had been assigned to take over the classes.

I am a female. I live in a city. Martin If convicted, Kattia Cruz, Rafael Zumbado and Luis Carrillo face between 20 and 35 years in jail. "We have great confidence in the Costa Rican legal system," Irigonegaray said. "We believe that the most important thing now is a fair trial. It is our sincere hope that the brutal murder of Shannon Martin will be solved with the conviction of those that took her life." Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, and Diana Carlin, dean of international programs, traveled to Costa Rica about three weeks ago for a briefing on the case. Weinberg said the purpose for their trip was fulfilled with the charges. Martin was killed May 13,2001. Her body was found stabbed near a road in Golfito, Costa Rica, where she was completing biology research. Edited by Michelle Burhenn . 4 2A • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Inside Front 1.

Three Topeka men arrested after murder of local man LAWRENCE A 22-year-old Lawrence resident died of gunshot wounds at a south Lawrence residence on March 14. Lawrence police officers have arrested three men from Topeka in connection with the shooting of Quincy M. Sanders, according to a statement from the Lawrence Police Department. Lawrence police responded to reports of a shooting at about 3:30 a.m. March 14 at a duplex on Ridge Court. Officers from the KU Public Safety Office pursued a white Dodge Intrepid that witnesses had said was associated with the shooting. During the chase, two of the three suspects jumped out of the car and fled on foot. The car was later found abandoned in the 400 block of Indiana Street. Police arrested Randy R. Owens, 27, of Topeka on March 14 at Kansas City International Airport. Tremain Scott, 21, of Topeka, was arrested later in Kansas City, Kan. Scott was charged with second-degree murder. Owens was charged with aiding a felon, obstruction of justice and fleeing a law enforcement officer. Lawrence and Topeka detectives worked together Friday to arrest a third suspect, a 22-year-old Topeka man. He will be formally charged today. It is The University Daily Kansan's policy to publish only the names of suspects who have been charged. — Erin Ohm STATE Hutchinson benefits from rise in tourism HUTCHINSON — Spring break, the return of the Liberty Bell 7 and the National Junior College Athletic Association tournament have combined to make the first few weeks of March prosperous for the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center. "This week is always a busy week for us, because of the tournament and spring break, but this month has surpassed last March by quite a bit," said Cosmosphere President Jeff Ollenburger. Between March 1 and March 20, just more than 17,000 people attended the museum, a 30 percent increase over the same period last year, he said. Liberty Bell 7, the Mercury space capsule that sunk in the Atlantic on July 21, 1961, was restored at the Cosmosphere after its retrieval from the ocean in 1999.

Sale of Bill of Rights may bring charges PHILADELPHIA — Federal authorities are weighing the possibility of criminal charges over an attempt to sell a copy of the Bill of Rights, missing since the Civil War, that was seized during an undercover sting. But proving criminality in the sale of government documents isn't always easy, especially if they were taken during wartime. "The problem for the government is to figure out whether the person had criminal intent, whether they knew they were stolen," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Goldman, a history buff who has prosecuted museum theft cases. Historians believe the handwritten Bill of Rights that surfaced this past week was stolen from the North Carolina statehouse by a Union soldier on April 14, 1865, as Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's army stormed through Raleigh. The soldier took it home to Ohio and sold it a year later, the document's last known transfer until Tuesday, when a broker acting for the anonymous seller sought $4 million from an undercover FBI agent. Archivists have estimated the value of the North Carolina copy at $20 million to $30 million. North Carolina officials twice refused to negotiate with the person who held the document, most recently in 1958, because they considered it ransom money, the FBI said. That could have been a dangerous decision, one expert said. "They might have been acting on principle, but that wasn't necessarily the best thing to do for the document," said New York document dealer Seth Kaller. The seller had threatened in 1995 to harm the document if his name became public, the FBI said. A lawyer for the current owner could argue that the document was a spoil of war. "It gets to be a very interesting and complex field, to sort all these competing interests," Goldman said.

The demonstrators marched from City Hall to the Douglas County Courthouse. Some protesters then went to the Lawrence Free State tent camp area at South Park. The tent camp was formed for people to show their opposition to a war in Iraq. Camp protests war in Iraq By Kelley Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer After marching down Massachusetts Street yesterday afternoon without permission from the police, Nicole Burton returned to the tent camp she stayed at last night in downtown Lawrence. Approximately 25 tents went up around South Park on Saturday to form a community called Lawrence Free State in protest to the war in Iraq. Members of the community, who have agreed to live in the commune-like arrangement, said they formed the tent camp as a symbolic succession from the American government. Dave, who would not give his last name, is living in the tent community. The Black Cat Collective member said that about 50 to 75 people had moved in as of yesterday. People living in the Lawrence Free State tent camp said they did not want to be associated with the American administration and decision to wage war with Iraq. Some members marched from Sixth Street to 11th Street yesterday before returning to the camp. The demonstrators, who chanted "No war! More peace! Bring your voices to the street!" were met with pro-war responses and angry gestures from downtown pedestrians. Burton, a senior at Lawrence High School, said the tent camp was a strong way to show their opposition to the war. "This is a visually outright condemnation to the war," Burton said. "It's a symbolic way to show how we are distancing ourselves from the war." The members of the Lawrence Free State meet twice daily to make decisions about how the tent camp will operate. The activities the community will organize include having forums to discuss the war and alternatives for peace, hosting dance parties and showing movies for educational purposes. freshman, said the camp was a great community environment. He also said being at the camp gave him an outlet to express his frustration with the United States led war in Iraq. By having a permanent camping site to show his opposition to the war, Ivanov said he was able to get his opinion across. Ruslan Ivanov, Lawrence "I absolutely despise the culture of domination that is responsible for the war," Ivanov said. Camping at the site every night is a goal for Ivanov, and he said he would camp there as much as opportunity permits. Burton and Ivanov both said the police had not approached them yet about camping there without a permit, and a police dispatcher said the department had not formed an official statement as of last night on whether the Lawrence Free State community would be permitted to keep its camp in the park. - Edited by Brandon Gay WARBOR POLITICS Candidate wants kingship By date Butcheries cbatchelder@kansan.com Kansan staff writer By Cate Batchelder Eric Braem/Kansan Brett Wadsworth, Overland Park senior, said that Student Senate would accomplish more under a monarchy, in which one person made all decisions with the help of advisers. Wadsworth is running for student body president under the Lord Wads and the 12 Knights of the Crusade campaign. It was in a dream when Brett Wadsworth saw his vision to be king of the University of Kansas. "I was sleeping and a voice told me to wake up," Wadsworth, Overland Park senior, said. "So I woke up and saw an elliptical eye with white around the sides, just like in the movies." In the middle of the eye, a king was riding a horse down Jayhawk Boulevard, which was flanked with people cheering him on and throwing white flowers. "It was more of a symbol of change than me actually being king," he said. Wadsworth will try to shake things up as Lord Wads, student body presidential candidate of Lord Wads and the 12 Knights of the Crusade. Wadsworth was that ornery boy growing up, his mom said. "Wads is a good ball," said Andy Foertsch, Lenexa senior and Wadsworth's vice presidential running mate. "This is his whole deal. We're just happy to see Wadsworth doing something." "He could never be in trouble though because he'd make me His Camelot theme took root long before the dream. Growing up, his mom, Becky, a preschool teacher, would read him countless stories that he and his two brothers would re-enact in the backyard. His favorite story, though, was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. It's about an ornery boy sent to his room without supper but escapes to a fantasy world full monsters where he becomes the King of All Wild Things. laugh the next minute," she said. When Brett was 4, Becky would take him grocery shopping. They would get to the checkout line and underneath the bread and eggs would be hidden packs of beer and Gold's chewing tobacco. She looked at him and asked what he thought he was doing, to which he replied, "Please Mom, just let me try it once." Or there was the time in fourth grade when Brett and a couple of his friends, all current KU students, coded a sentence in hieroglyphics for a mummy art exhibit that read "I'm King Tut. Kiss my butt." And just last year, Brett prank called his mom as "Officer Johnson" saying that her son wouldn't make it home for Thanksgiving because he was arrested for streaking on campus. Becky asked "Officer Johnson" if her son was completely nude. He said. "No, he had a cape and a hat on." Completely upset, she was getting ready to drive up to Lawrence from the family's home in Overland Park to get him out of jail when "Officer Johnson's" voice cracked, and she realized it was her son. "I could have driven up there just to slap him," she said. Although Wadsworth hasn't graduated from being that ornery boy in Where the Wild Things Are, he has moved on to books such as Sun Tezu's The Art of War and Machiavelli's The Prince. The English and philosophy major keeps his beloved books stacked safe by his bed. He said he would take advice from his books in the elections. "It's all set up for you, like 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer,'" he said. "It's not like KUnited or Delta Force are my enemies or anything, but I'm going to be hand-in-hand with what they're doing. I mean, that's why we went to their coalition parties."

Public Safety WATER PIPE DRAWINGS THU STUDENTS FOR A SENSIBLE DRUG POLICY Neil Mulka and Emily Elmore for The University Daily Kansan READERS' REPRESENTATIVE 'Sloppy reporting' can cast bias on coverage of combat issues With the war coverage up and running, now is a particularly touchy time for news organizations to be accused of bias toward either side of the political spectrum. COMMENTARY Last week, the Media Research Center, a conservative group, released a report that criticized ABC News as the worst offender among the networks for liberal bias. The report said ABC News "routinely channeled propaganda from the Iraqi regime" and ABC "has touted the size and broadly 'mainstream' nature of anti-war protest movements, without skeptical coverage of their radical organizers." Meanwhile a liberal group, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, also released a study last week saying that the views of Americans who are skeptical of or opposed to an invasion of Iraq have been under-represented by the network newscasts. If a reader runs into a story that seems biased, this isn't out of some liberal or conservative conspiracy. It's just sloppy reporting. Writing a balanced story, especially revolving around an issue that has no clear-cut sides, is tough for any reporter. Just as ABC will have to struggle with its supposed "liberal bias," reporters for campus newspapers must go out of their way to try to get all views into a story. So who's right? Is the image of the liberal media an accurate one, or are news organizations more corporate and conservative, swayed by the status quo? The quick answer is both. The problem is generalizing the news organizations as being either wholly liberal or conservative is the wrong perspective to take. The truth of the matter is if you are looking for Leah Shaffer readersrep@kansan.com Here's an example. Suppose, a Kansan reporter wants to get 20 random quotes from people on the street about the war. What if those 20 people all happen to share the same view? Should reporters go out of their way to seek out the opposite side? If the reporters are doing a good job, they will go out of their way to seek out people with contrary, sometimes unpopular views. However, it is in how they present that variety of views that the most pernicious biases slip through. People's views of the war can be greatly altered by what the media decide to first pipe into their television sets. If ABC decides to show film of cheering U.S. soldiers, should they try to balance that out with footage of injured Iraqis? When trying to make the call about what to expose readers and viewers to, reporters' personal biases slip through without them even noticing. It's simply human nature. The best thing a person can do is take what they read with a grain of salt. To get the bigger picture of what's going on in the world, it may take a variety of sources. Watch Fox News and ABC. Read The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Good news organizations will always try to get the facts. It's how they arrange those facts that can greatly alter your perspectives. Shaffer is a Hays senior in journalism and environmental studies. PERSPECTIVE War protesters need to reevaluate view of human conditions in Iraq George Orwell once wrote, "Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help out that of the other." Applying this quote to the current war in Iraq, one could say that those anti-war protesters who actively try to undermine the U.S.-led effort are aiding the tyrannical Iraqi regime. Assuredly, if the antiwar movement achieved its goals, Saddam and his cronies would remain in power. GUEST COMMENTARY In opposition to the war, thousands of protesters have signed their names to petitions proudly stating that it would not be fought in their names. It has long been my wish that the people of Iraq could somehow know every single name on those petitions and the names of every person who marches in the streets and every "human shield," along with the names of every member of every anti-war organization and the names of every government official in France, Germany, Russia and China. I am sorry, the image does not contain any text. If you need more information about the image content, please provide it. I wish all 25 million Iraqis would know these people, these "enlightened" members of the anti-war movement who proclaim themselves as defenders of the people of Iraq but who fall over themselves to prevent their freedom. The Iraqis should realize who is trying to secure their oppression. Nathan Clark opinion@kansan.com What these protesters may not understand is that the people of Iraq are fully aware of the movement and its intentions and what will happen if it succeeds. There will be no more hope of liberty or democracy, no more hope of freedom. The people of Iraq will continue to live in a society in which dissenters are murdered, family members disappear for no reason, and thousands of children die each year because their leader refuses to feed them. This is hardly a vision of peace. Surely, the people of Iraq are praying that the protesters, some of whom risk their lives to ensure that the innocent will continue to suffer, will fail. For as these protesters step up their efforts in the name of defending Iraq, the people of Iraq are responding differently. According to an Associated Press report, allied forces in the newly liberated city of Safwan in southern Iraq were greeted warmly and enthusiastically by Iraqi civilians, some crying tears of joy. Chanting in Arabic, cries of "Amerikit! Amerikit!" rose up among them. Soon a Major in the U.S. Army led a chant of "Iraqis! Iraqis!" with his troops and the townspeople. What a scene that must have been! Iraqi cheering for the United States. Americans cheering for Iraq. These demonstrations convey the soul of a people horribly oppressed for far too long, revealing something infinitely more powerful and meaningful than the empty cries of "No blood for oil" or "Bush is a terrorist" from the herds of protesters. Tasting freedom for the first time, the people of Iraq know who to thank. Across the country, our troops are being greeted not with "Die, infidel" but instead with "What took you so long?" Clearly, most Iraqis do not see the United States and its allies as imperialists or oil whores, but as liberators who helped save them from a mass murderer. As we now see pictures on television of the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack flying next to the flag of Iraq, and as we see our soldiers side by side with jubilant Iraqi civilians tearing down statues and posters of Saddam, it is obvious how the people of Iraq feel about our country's actions. They know who is really on their side. Nathan Clark is a Kingman sophomore in journalism. EDITORIAL BOARD Protests influence decisions worldwide On any given day in the Free for All, there are the inevitable comments. "I'm sick of all the protesters," "Mizzou sucks." Granted, Mizzou does suck. But condemning protesters is rude, lazy and unpatriotic. Americans' right and desire to protest is one of the true strengths of our democracy. This could not be further from the truth. One common sentiment is that protests in Lawrence are futile because we are in a small town in the Midwest. It was in small towns that Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth caught attention for appearing at polling places, demanding ballots. The civil rights movement gained its strength from small-town protests and sit-ins 80 years later. And let's not forget our Midwest neighbor of Topeka and Brown v. the Board of Education, which was a landmark in equality for all Americans. Indeed, a town like Lawrence is a perfect place to make a difference. Instead of sitting at home complaining about protesters, we should all be getting involved in voicing our opinions, whatever those opinions may be. During the current debate over war, there have been a number of demonstrations, both in support and in protest of the war. The Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice hosts a weekly anti-war rally, at noon every Saturday in front of the Douglas County Courthouse. The recent Taco Bell protest is another example of conscientious protesting. Demonstrations such as these are vital to our democracy. As citizens of this country, we have the invaluable responsibility of influencing public policy and making sure that the needs of all the people are represented. We are a vital part of this nation's checks and balances system. Thomas Jefferson once said, "Lethargy is the forerunner of death to the public liberty." We have the opportunity to stop being lethargic and start making a difference — not just in Lawrence, but throughout the world. Mark Lyda for the editorial board MONDAY,MARCH 24,2003 THEUNIVERSITYDAILYKANSAN = 5A LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sexism not from nature In her latest column on gender difference, Arrah Nielson asks the very important question of why we have not yet had a female president. Her answer? It's really much simpler than discrimination or any of its harmful manifestations — women are just biologically unfit to rule the country. Why? Ms. Neilson boldly asserts that women are naturally less aggressive and less ambitious than men, fully accounting for their low status. Besides being offended by this statement, I'm also curious as to where she found women untouched by gender-role socialization on which to base her argument. I expected a little evidence from a biological anthropology major, but there is none. Such women do not exist, and it is impossible to distinguish between natural tendencies and learned ones. There are undeniable differences between the sexes (and even more within them). The goal of feminism is not to eliminate these and make people "as interchangeable as Lincoln Logs." Quite to the contrary, feminism celebrates diversity and strives to create a society where such distinctions are not used as justification for oppression. I suggest that this particular science student inform herself on feminism before making such uneducated claims in the future. Jana Mackey, Hays junior Pledging neutrality My letter is in response to Matt Pirotte's article "Under God should stay in pledge" which appeared in the Kansan on Tuesday, March 11. Pirotte claims that, because the pledge has been banned for millions of school children, the court's decision violates the principles of democracy (majority rule). I believe Pirotte misunderstands a crucial component of democracy — the protection of minority rights. It is immoral and illegal for public schools to require all students to pledge allegiance to a god. It is a violation of the minority rights of individuals who wish not to pledge such allegiance. Furthermore, Pirotte asserts that the words "under God" represent an American tradition. To the contrary, the original pledge did not include the words "under God." Those words were inserted in 1954 after much religious and anti-communist lobbying. If anything, the American tradition should be a religiously neutral pledge — one that all Americans, regardless of their religious beliefs, can recite with pride. "Under God" has made a divisive prayer of what should be a unifying oath. One nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Keiv Spare, Parsons senior 'Hot or Not' harmful Jayplay entitled "Hot or Not?" and asked students to rate 13 of their peers based on three aspects: major, height, and weight. February 27, The University Daily Kansan ran a section in This is supposed to be an imitation of the television show and Web sites in which young people parade themselves in front of judges and are pronounced "Hot or Not" on a one to 10 scale. Our question is, how do you cram all that glam? Each of these 13 individuals encompasses much more value than can possibly be packed into a head shot and a few facts. We can all agree on that. But do we really understand what that means? Every time a catcall is made, every time a person is accepted or rejected based on his or her appearance, and every time a vote is cast in "hot or not" contests, we deny the fact that humans are more than just bodies. The effects of this kind of media are more than tangible, they are tragic. Consider these facts from the National Eating Disorders Association: Most fashion models are thinner than 98 percent of American women. Ninety percent of American women are dissatisfied with their appearances. Forty-two percent of girls in first through third grades want to be thinner. Eighty-one percent of 10-year-olds are afraid of being fat. If you think the connection between "hot or not" and eating disorders is a stretch, think again. Where else do people get the idea that they must fit into a certain body type if not from the media? In a perfect world, that 90 percent would look at the Kansan, see the "Hot or Not" section and laugh it off. But we do not live in a perfect world, and the scary fact is that people look at that section and wonder if they are "hot or not." This type of thinking is unhealthy because it creates standards that can never be met. While we realize it is a difficult task to ask the world to stop the arbitrary judgment of individuals, it is not too much to ask that the Kansan not subject KU students to the idea that we are only worth our major, height, and weight. Anne Iverson, Le Mars, Iowa, freshman for Men Can Stop Rape War is the answer Marching for peace probably doesn't hurt anybody. Might even help, as it means exercise, sunshine and fresh air. But these people are utterly clueless as to what is happening. What's happening is a race between taking Iraq or losing Washington to a nuclear bomb. There is very good reason to believe Osama bin Laden has such a bomb. But can he use it before we take Iraq? If he does, we lose. If he doesn't, we win. We are going to take Iraq, put armies on the border with both Iran and Saudi Arabia and tell Osama we will take them also if he tries anything. Not only take them, but any more trouble and we close the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. We put a huge hole in his plan to unify the Middle East and reintroduce the strategy of mutually assured destruction as deterrence. There is no other way with any hope of keeping suicide terrorists with nuclear weapons from coming to your hometown. A monster has arisen from the depths of Islam. We are witnessing what may be the self-destruction of one of the world's great religions because it cannot adjust to the modern world. And majority of moderate Muslim clerics don't have the courage to tell the world what Osama is, a heretic and a cowardly murderer of women and children. No one wants to talk about it yet, but this is civilizational war. Osama's goal is to radicalize and unify all Muslim nations to attack and convert the world of us infidels. Our goal is to impose a Pax Americana on the world and to do that, we must first stop Osama by taking over the Muslim world. He will have no cause left to die for. If anyone thinks there is another way to save Washington, they are sleepwalking. just like the peace marchers. History has laid an empire at outfeet. We must either pick it up or be destroyed. The combination of suicide terrorism and nuclear weapons is fatal. "I'm outraged"—Oh,please.

Donald Van Horn, the first finalist, will be in Lawrence until tomorrow to tour the Lied Center and the Spencer Museum of Art and meet with the search committee and senior administrators from the University and the School of Fine Arts. He will give a public presentation during an open forum at 4 p.m. today at Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall. Van Horn has been the dean and professor of art for the College of Fine Arts at Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va., since 1995. He earned his bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Nebraska and his master of fine arts from the University of Florida with a concentration in sculpture. He has also held positions at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, including associate dean for academic affairs and chair and associate professor for the Department of Art. "He's a very nice fellow," said Michael Cornfield, professor of art at Marshall University. "He's extremely thoughtful and thorough. He's done a very fine job here at Marshall." Information on the other candidates will be released within days of their interviews. The search committee looked at about 40 candidates for the position before narrowing the field to five, said John Gaunt, chairman of the search committee. The four remaining finalists in the nationwide search will be named in the next four to five weeks. "We will be releasing information as we go along so we can give them the benefit of anonymity at their home institutions," Gaunt said. "We have worked rather intensively to identify these five candidates." The current dean of the School of Fine Arts, Toni-Marie Montgomery, will leave the University at the end of this semester to become the dean of the School of Music at Northwestern University. Gaunt said the committee would finish interviewing the five candidates by mid-April. Escaped orb — Edited by Leah Shaffer Eric Braem/Kansan An architecture project serves as a road block on Jayhawk Boulevard on Saturday, March 15. Students in professor Dan Rockhill's graduate design class created the sphere, which usually sits on the lawn of Marvin Hall. A concrete base now holds the sculpture in place, replacing the previous temporary anchors. Rockhill said he thought the sphere was likely set loose by fans reacting negatively to the men's basketball team losing to Missouri earlier that day. During production of the lead and plywood orb, one of the students sanded the lead, which caused some concern from the administration, resulting in blood tests for the entire class, Rockhill said. Students spend spring break doing religious, charity work By Cal Creek ccreek@kansan.com Kansan staff writer While many students sipped margaritas poolside or skied down Colorado slopes, several groups of students from the University of Kansas worked through their religious organizations to do community service and missionary work. Ten KU students joined six Kansas State University students during spring break as a part of missionary work for Victory Campus Ministries. The group visited St. Louis University, Washington University, St. Louis Community College at Meramec and Harris-Stowe State College. Erik Fish, Lawrence resident Fish said he wanted to see other people who have had their lives changed by God. "When I was a student my life was dramatically affected by realizing who Jesus Christ is," Fish said. The group left for St. Louis on Monday and returned Friday. While there, they traveled from campus to campus talking to students, asking questions and establishing the contacts within the community that would be necessary to start new chapters. like on these campuses," said Daniel Coke, Moorehaven senior, Victory Campus Ministries member and president of Champions for Christ. "We were there trying to see what the religious climate was Coke said his favorite part about the trip was meeting new people and sharing Christ with them. He said everyone they talked to was friendly, even if they didn't believe in Jesus Christ. "As a devout Christian it's my duty to preach Christ and be his witness out of love not out of spite," Coke said. The KU chapter of Campus Crusade for Christ sent six students to join 60 students from other schools in New York to do community service and missionary work. "We just wanted an opportunity for students to do something together," Dawn Miller, Campus Crusade staff worker said, "It kind of broadened my view of what God's doing in our country." The group worked in a soup kitchen called the Soul Saving Station in Harlem, where they served food to the needy. They also visited City College where they surveyed students in an attempt to start a branch of Campus Crusade for Christ on that campus. The next day the students opened a prayer table in the subway. Pedestrians approached them asking for prayers in regards to financial needs, the war and their families. The group also helped out at an after school program in the Bronx called Ever Lasting Hope. While there, the group played with children, helped with a Bible lesson and provided children with a place where they wouldn't be on the street. Danielle Firsching, Wichita freshman, especially enjoyed working at Ever Lasting Hope. She said she liked playing with the kids and hearing them repeat Bible verses they had memorized. "It was just awesome," Foreshowing said. The American Baptist Student Fellowship had a slightly different experience during spring break. The group had planned to send seven students to Loveland, Colo., to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity. The day after the group arrived a blizzard hit Colorado preventing the group from assisting with the landscaping work they thought they would do. Instead the group helped clean and organize the Habitat for Humanity thrift store in addition to shoveling snow for the organization. The group helped dig out one woman's car which was stuck in the snow. "The working in the thrift store and shoveling snow might not be the most glamorous jobs but they really needed it done so we we're happy to do it," said Megan Mercer, Topeka senior and American Baptist Student Fellowship president.

"There is a long list of requirements we are looking for in the candidate," said Larry Maxey, professor of music and dance and committee member. Maxey said the university had been conducting a nationwide search. The director of admission and scholarships provides direction and leadership for the office's programs and operations, including student recruitment activities and publications, applications processing, undergraduate admissions and new student scholarships, according to the KU Web site. The position has been open since Alan Cerveny, the former director, left the University in April 2002 for a similar job at the University of Nebraska. "Cerveny had an opportunity to return to his alma mater," said Lisa Beck, associate director of admission and scholarships and committee member. "I'm sure he will do great things there like he did here." The University interviewed five candidates last year but did not hire a new director. "We are looking for someone who can lead and guide with vision and improve services," Beck said. "Someone who can grow the university at the rate it wants to grow." Lisa Pinamonti, former associate director of admissions and scholarships at KU, is filling the position on an interim basis after Cerveny's departure. She is also one of the candidates for the position. MEET THE CANDIDATES The candidates for the director of admissions and scholarships will give public presentations at the KU Visitor Center Auditorium on the following dates: Lisa Pinamonti, 2 p.m. today and tomorrow Roger Bilow, 2 p.m. March 27-28 Paul Buskirk, 2 p.m. April 2-3 Patrick O'Neill, 2 p.m. April 17-18 The other candidates are Roger Bilow, the director of admissions at Stephen F. Austin State University; Paul Buskirk, associate athletics director for student support services at KU and Patrick O'Neill, associate director of admissions at the University of Nebraska. "We will complete the first interviews by the end of April," said Beck. "Hopefully we will have someone shortly after that." - Edited by Leah Shaffer Filmmaker to visit KU this week to show work British filmmaker Tony Palmer will visit the University of Kansas this week to show and discuss many of his documentaries and theatrical features. Palmer's work has captured on film the lives, works and politics of numerous musicians and composers, including the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones and Frank Zappa. Palmer has won more than 50 international prizes for his work. "Tony Palmer is one of the most astonishing, versatile, and eclectic artists of our time," said John Tibbetts, associate professor of Theatre and Film at KU. Palmer's visit will begin with a public reception from 5 to 6 p.m. tonight at Oldfather Studios, 9th and Avalon. His visit will include a presentation of "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'N Roll," tonight at 8 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. Admission is $2 at the door. At 3:30 p.m. toorrow Palmer will be in Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union for "Biography on Film: Constructing a Public History," where he will screen his composer biographies. Admission is free and open to the public. Palmer will conduct a question-and-answer session for students at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, at Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall. This event will also be free and open to public.

Sihka, who would not give her last name, said she would not come down from the tree until the developer of the lot agreed to turn the land into a park, instead of the proposed condominiums. Sihka has been in the tree since last Tuesday night. Despite rain and cold weather SihKA said she had not had second thoughts about living in the tree. Approximately 20 people yesterday afternoon were scattered around the lot playing drums, dancing and talking with each other. SihKA said people stayed with her during the night and sent food and water up in a bucket. TO DRINK OR GO TO CLASS? THAT'S UP TO ME TO DECIDE!

But until then, he said, the war will hurt Wichita by further depressing international tourism and air travel. "There are some times you wish your predictions didn't come true," said Ross DeVol, director of regional and demographic studies for the Milken Institute. "This is one of those times." General aviation, the focus of three of Wichita's four aircraft manufacturing plants, has also taken a downturn. Last week, Cessna Aircraft announced the latest bad news: 1,200 permanent layoffs and a summer plant shutdown that will idle 6,000 of its remaining 8,000 Wichita workers for seven weeks. The job losses bring the number of announced layoffs to about 12,000 for Wichita's four major aircraft companies, which also include Boeing, Raytheon and Bombardier. The Milken Institute said in August that Wichita's job losses place it seventh on the study's list of 315 local economies damaged by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The economic think tank, based in Santa Monica, Calif., projected that by the end of this year Wichita's economy would be the nation's hardest hit. Late last week, most of the major airlines announced that war jitters were forcing cuts in flights and jobs. Northwest Airlines lopped off 7 percent of its air routes, laying off 4,900 employees and taking 20 aircraft out of service. United Airlines reduced its flights by 8 percent, and American Airlines announced a 6 percent cutback in international service. DeVol said there will be little need for airlines to buy new planes until passenger confidence and routes are restored. A quick end to war would help, DeVol said, showing that the United States is committed to and capable of dealing with international terrorism. DeVol also said it is important to have a rapid reconciliation with European allies who don't support the war against Iraq, because tourists from those nations won't come to the United States if they don't feel welcome. Boycotts of French goods have sprung up across the nation. Congress renamed the french fries in its cafeteria "freedom fries." But DeVol said boycotting France might give French corporate executives second thoughts about buying business aircraft made in the USA. A double-edged boycott, he said, "would be good for California wine but bad for Wichita airplanes." Fort Riley assists deployed soldiers, families The Associated Press FORT RILEY — With more than 2,200 Fort Riley soldiers deployed in the Middle East, one office on the base provides support for spouses and children who await their return. Fort Riley's Soldier and Family Support Center is there to help women like Jenny, a 19-year-old wife of a soldier in the war against Iraq. For her, the crisis came as she watched the news on CNN. Jenny, whose last name and those of other family members were withheld for security reasons, was sure she heard that her husband's armored combat unit had tangled with Iraqi troops in a firefight in southern Iraq. Married just eight months and frantic with worry, she turned to the center for help. If they're not worried about their families, they're going to execute their mission more effectively." Lt. Col. Todd Livick Army's spokesman at Fort Riley Inquiries were made, and the reassuring news came back: Her husband was fine. Part of the center's job is to respond to such concerns. With the start of the war in Iraq, calls from worried relatives are increasing, said Lt. Col. Curt Higdon. The center also is there for the daily concerns of military families. If there is a problem with a soldier's pay, the center helps clear it up. If the family car develops a strange noise, the center helps find a repair shop And officers from the adjutant general's department help soldiers and their spouses draw up wills. Besides helping those at home, the center also helps ease the minds of those in the field. Lt. Col. Todd Livick, the Army's spokesman at Fort Riley, said soldiers at the front need to know their spouses and children are being taken care of. They want to know that family problems are being handled. "It's a proven fact," Livick said. "If they're not worried about their families, they're going to execute their mission more effectively." Higdon said family support services at the post have been centralized since the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and the post now provides a one-stop shop for any family need. The Internet and e-mail have become major tools in helping families to stay in touch, Higdon said. Some units, he added, receive video calls from family members in the United States, like the 4-year-old who got a soldier outfit from his father overseas. "The boy couldn't wait to show his dad how good he looked in it," Higdon said. As relief from news coverage of the war, family assistance groups go on trips to the zoo, shopping in Kansas City or to sports events, Higdon said. The center organizes bowling and skating parties for the children. "Anything to take their minds off of what's going on," he said. Rallies across country show support for war The Associated Press NEW YORK — A day after massive anti-war rallies attracted thousands across the nation — including more than 100,000 people in a march down Broadway — hundreds of people gathered in Times Square and other cities yesterday to show support for the war in Iraq. About 600 people waved American flags and chanted "U-S-A! U-S-A!" at the Times Square demonstration. "Thank God we have a president who is a real global leader, protecting our liberty and security, relentless in his pursuit of justice and not bending to the appeasers," said Republican activist Michael Benjamin, who is considering a run for U.S. Senate against Charles Schumer in 2004. "The entire world community has said time and again that Saddam Hussein is a danger and that he must be disarmed," said former Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler. "But it is the United States and the coalition of the willing which has finally been willing to stand up and say, 'What must be done, let it be done now.'" On Saturday, a throng 30 city blocks long had marched down Broadway to oppose the war. Organizers put the crowd at 250,000; police said it was 125,000 strong. Police said 91 people were arrested, and 16 officers were hospitalized after they were sprayed with an unknown substance. Near Richmond, Va., yesterday, police said more than 5,000 people showed up to show their support for the war — something veterans Terry Steer said they could have used during Vietnam. troops because I know what it was like when people didn't," said Steer, 55, who fought during the 1968 Tet Offensive with the 1st Air Calvary Division of the Army. "That can't happen again." "I'm here to support the Forrest Winks, a 14-year-old corporal in his high school's Junior Army ROTC program, said he sees the soldiers on television and hears duty calling. "I really wish I could be out there with them taking part, but it's very scary, too. I know that," Forrest said, in his dark green dress uniform and black beret. "I'm stuck here, at home." Onstage at the outdoor pavilion, a historical reenactor recited Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. Supporters sang the national anthem, removed their hats and bowed their heads in prayer. In Washington, about 300 activists turned out for a pro-military rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, waving signs saying "God bless our troops" and "Freedom is not free." Republican Congressman Steve King of Iowa said all Americans — even the ones opposing the war — need to stand behind the troops now that the war is underway, and that some protesters have been displaying "un-American values." On a day when pro-war supporters made the most noise, anti-war demonstrators still made themselves heard. In Providence, R.I., about 200 people gathered on the Statehouse lawn, holding snapshots of Iraqi families to symbolize the suffering of those impacted by the war. "This is the face of collateral damage," Karina Wood of Rhode Island Peace Action said of the pictures. TRADITION KEEPERS Check it out Check it off You're not sleeping. Why should we?

The footage also showed at least four bodies. U. S. officials confirmed that 12 soldiers were missing after Iraqi forces ambushed an army supply convoy around An Nasiriyah, a major crossing point over the Euphrates northwest of Basra. The scenes of interrogators questioning four men and a woman were broadcast by the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera with footage from state-controlled Iraqi television. Each was interviewed individually. They spoke into a microphone labeled "Iraqi Television." A senior defense official said the Pentagon did not know precisely how many captives there might be, and declined to identify the unit involved so as not to panic soldiers' families. Al-Jazeera quoted unidentified Iraqi officials as saying the Iraqis are using a defensive tactic of falling back, allowing their enemy to overextend itself and become vulnerable to attack behind the lines. President Bush, returning to the White House from Camp David, said he did not have all the details of what he called a potential capture but added: "We expect them to be treated humanely, just like we'll treat any prisoners of theirs that we capture humanely. i not, the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals." Speaking on CBS, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld charged that if those seen on television were indeed coalition soldiers, "those pictures are a violation of the Geneva Conventions." International Committee of the Red Cross spokeswoman Nada Doumani said the showing of the prisoners on TV violates Article 13 of the Geneva Conventions, which says prisoners should be protected from public curiosity. But she stressed that the priority at the moment is to get access to them. "It does contradict the conventions because it's public curiosity," she said. "But our priority is not to put blame on any side but to check that the prisoners are safe." 'Friendly fire' incident kills two The Associated Press CAMP AS SAYLIYAH, Qatar Coalition forces suffered their first confirmed "friendly fire" deaths of the Iraq war yesterday, when a U.S. Patriot missile battery downed a British fighter jet near the Iraqi-Kuwait border, killing the two flyers on board. Military analysts said the downing was rare, since the Royal Air Force Tornado GR4 would have been outfitted with a transponder — an electronic signal device identifying itself as a coalition military aircraft. The shootdown was a blow for Britain, which already suffered 14 dead in accidents: the crash Friday of a CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter that killed eight and a collision Saturday of two British Royal Navy helicopters that killed six. Five American servicemen were killed in those incidents as well. The Tornado was returning from operations in Iraq when it was targeted by a U.S. Patriot missile battery, the British military said. The Royal Air Force base at Marham, in Britain, confirmed the two crewmembers were dead. Over Iraq, the fighter had been taking part in strikes that destroyed Republican Guard forces outside Baghdad, U.S. Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks said in Qatar. "I have to say it is not the beginning that we would have preferred," Group Capt. Al Lockwood, spokesman for British forces in the Persian Gulf, said. But, he said, "this is not training, this is war. And we expect tragically, occasionally that there are accidents." In military parlance the phenomenon also is known as "blue on blue," or "fratricide"—the mistake that sends missiles, bullets, bombs or artillery shells hurtling in the wrong direction, inflicting casualties or damage on noncombatants or one's own forces. Every modern war has recorded its share of such incidents. In the 1991 Gulf War, the last time U. S. troops fought the Iraqis, 35 Americans were killed by friendly fire—nearly one quarter of the total of 148 combat deaths. In that war, too, several British troops were killed by errant U.S. fire. As warfare has become more reliant on precision-guided weapons, the likelihood of such incidents diminishes. But even if the technology were foolproof which it is not — the humans who use it remain vulnerable to mistakes. www.ku.edu/~slab THE truth SHALL SET YOU FREE The City Commission CANDIDATE FORUM wednesday noon-2pm union plaza LUNCH PROVIDED sponsored by SLAB student legislative awareness board STUDENT UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SENATE FREE Cheesesticks “now that’s March Madness.” –John Schnatter, Founder with the purchase of a Large One Topping Pizza FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY $999 FINAL FOUR!

Illustration by Lance Menelle/Jayhawk Journalist Foreign correspondence has always been a dangerous job, but the environment of the combat journalist has changed drastically over the last decade. Gone are the days of two sides with clearly defined battle lines and rules of engagement that identify correspondents as non-combatants. The availability of weapons has transformed the battlefields. Today's warriors are not uniformed soldiers of the state military, but what Farah describes as "coked-out 12-year-olds with an AK-(47)." Not the same During World War II, many correspondents served as a sort of surrogate parent. They were in the field with and reported on the boys. When correspondents were injured, it was most likely because of their proximity to soldiers, legitimate military targets, said Bob Dotson, NBC News correspondent and 1968 University of Kansas graduate. Dotson opened NBC's first bureau in Dallas in 1977. He said from 1977 to 1979 he covered "all the little wars in Central America." "Ernie Pyle-type war correspondents faced the same risk as the people they covered," Dotson said. "But that's not the case today. The whole game has changed a lot." "In Afghanistan, it was an area of anarchy. A lot of people were killed by people without a political agenda — bandits, the people who wanted to steal your equipment. Those journalists killed in the convoy were not wartime casualties; it was murder," he said, referring to the five correspondents killed traveling from Kabul to Jalalabad in Afghanistan in November 2001. The murderers emptied their pockets and took their equipment. From 1992 to 2001,389 correspondents were killed in hostile environments, according to a report from the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. Cross-fires have killed 62 of those correspondents. Murder has claimed 298 of them. The Associated Press has lost 26 combat correspondents in its 126 years of operation. Nine of them were killed during the last nine years, which is more than AP lost during either World War I, World War II, Korea or Vietnam. Humbleness is the key when dealing with insecure and hostile people in that kind of setting, professional correspondents and experts say. Training correspondents to be humble is one of the many lessons taught by hostile environment training companies like Centurion Risk Assessment Services Ltd. Other companies include the AKE Group Ltd. and Bruhn "It was a young kid, 16 or 17, with an AK who wanted us to pay him to let us pass," Leford said. "My driver didn't want to pay, so he began to move the vehicle forward. The kid locks and loads, puts the gun to my head and tells us to stop. I'm yelling 'Stop! Stop!' From there, I smiled a lot, acted real humble, and made that kid feel dominant. Let him feel he is the tough guy and you are the weakling." Joe Ledford, a photographer with The Kansas City Star, was on assignment in Sierra Leone in the summer of 2000. As he and his driver approached a check point, an RUF rebel forced them to stop. Learning to stay humble NewTech, which specializes in chemical and biological weapons awareness. These companies teach their students how to deal with kidnappers, interrogators, or any other hostile people. They teach students to be aware of their surroundings and their potential dangers. These companies give participants confidence in their ability to recognize the risks and the instincts on how to deal with them. "You have to assess the risk each time," Dotson said. "Young people think they are bullet-proof. Peter Arnett grew to be a 67-year-old combat correspondent because he could assess the risk." specializes in training its participants to handle a range of threats: from those to personal health and safety in conflict areas to combat first aid. Centurion is the leader in hostile environment training. Located in Andover, England, 71 miles southwest of London, Centurion has trained more than 8,000 correspondents since its creation in 1995. The company "Risks cannot be eliminated. They can be minimized," said Paul Rees, Centurion's founder and a 21-year-veteran of Her Majesty's Royal Marine Commandos. The British Broadcasting Corporation hired Rees after his retirement from the military along with other retired commandos to train BBC correspondents to survive in a combat environment after it lost a film crew in Serbia. Before the war on terror, Centurion offered its courses once a week in the United Kingdom and once a month in the United States. However, the company has seen an increase in corporations requiring their correspondents to take the course over the last five months. Rees and his instructors now teach two courses every week in the UK, with 23 participants per class. Forty students are taught twice a month in the U.S. The company has trained more than 1,040 participants in the UK, 364 in the U.S. and 320 in other courses located around the world. Centurion doesn't limit its programs to media corporations. Humanitarian and charity agencies, such as Catholic Relief Services, Christian Aid, and Amnesty International have sent personnel through the training. Freelance correspondents, who can't afford the $400- to $600-a-day courses, often get funding from the Rory Peck Trust, a charitable organization established in honor of its namesake, a freelance journalist killed in combat. Centurion also occasionally teaches freelance correspondents free of charge. "We make the training as realistic as possible. We put so much time into everything we do," Rees said. "Everytime there is a new incident, we'll reenact what we know with the media types. We feed them back the information about what they should and should not do." The use of correspondents Companies such as the BBC, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, AP and Reuters have begun sending their combat correspondents to Centurion courses before they get to the field. Their goal is to expose correspondents to gunfire, land mines, kidnapping and hostile people in a controlled environment where they can learn from their mistakes. This prevents them from learning mistakes the hard—and perhaps fatal—way. In January of 1987, Gerald Seib was a Cairo-based Wall Street Journal correspondent. The Iranian government invited Seib, a 1978 University of Kansas graduate, and 55 other correspondents to visit the Iran-Iraq war. Their visas all required extension before they could leave the country. On Thursday, Jan. 29, the correspondents all renewed their visas and passports at an immigration police station, but Seib's was never returned. His name was similar to a wanted man's, and the Iranians said they had to work out the problem. On Saturday, Jan. 31, Seib was still trying to extend his visa. That evening, four men in camouflage abducted him in the hotel parking lot. They blindfolded him and drove wildly through the streets of Tehran, screaming at Seib in Farsi. When the abductors removed Seib's blindfold, he found himself in prison in northern Tehran, where the shah's secret police had once tortured political prisoners. For four days, Iranian officials interrogated Seib in English and accused him of being a spy for Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad. As the time progressed, Seib's interrogators slowly scaled back their accusations, recognizing him as an American but a resident of Israel, then an American who had spent long amounts of time in Israel. "The interrogations were the same thing. 'You're a spy, you're a spy for Israel, etc.'" Seib said. Seib believed his best strategy was to tell the truth: He was a reporte, based in Cairo and had covered Israel along with Libya and Syria, allies of Iran, and Iraq, Iran's enemy. Just as quickly as they captured him, the Iranians freed Seib to a Swiss Diplomat who specialized in American interests. Seib believes that he was the victim of factionalism between two different leaders in Iran — the parliament speaker, who was identified with secret arms dealing with the U.S., and the Ayatollah, a religious leader of a faction that opposed the arms deals with SEE MESSAGE ON PAGE 11A COLLEGE IS TOUGH.

The Iranian Prime Minister, who appeared to be aligned with the anti-west faction, said the police arrested Seib because he had asked unusual questions while visiting the war front. Seib, now the Wall Street Journal Bureau chief in Washington D.C., said correspondents had become a tool for political means. Extremist groups and political factions are interested in correspondents because of the amount of coverage their capture provides. "They wanted to grab an American to make a point, to both the interior and exterior, that they weren't going to let American spies run around in Tehran," Seib said. "There is the tendency today to wonder if this journalist is really a journalist, or an agent of the government." Daniel Pearl's abduction and murder is more evidence of using correspondents to further political means. The National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty, a Muslim extremist group, kidnapped The Wall Street Journal reporter in late January 2002. In their first email to recipients at major news corporations and government agencies, the kidnappers accused Pearl of being an agent in the CIA. They also gave their conditions of his release, notably the release of Pakistanis held at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the handing over of F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft that Pakistan purchased from the U.S. in the 1980s. The U.S. never delivered the aircraft because of sanctions placed on Pakistan in response to its nuclear weapons program. The kidnappers murdered Pearl sometime in February 2002. "In many places, they believe that you are a member of the CIA," said Barbara Rosewisz, Types of information not allowed for release Photography showing level of security. Rules of engagement. Information on effectiveness of enemy camouflage, cover, deception, targeting, direct and indirect fire, intelligence collection, or security measures.

She is a 1978 University of Kansas graduate and a Wall Street Journal correspondent, and was stationed with Seib in Cairo from 1985 to 1987. Rosewisz said being a female foreign correspondent could be more difficult than being a male correspondent because women received much more attention in many countries. "Some countries, you can't just be a 'fly on the wall,'" she said. "You're always the center of attention. Gerry would walk down the streets of Tripoli, Libya, unnoticed, but the young men would walk up and flirt with me." Despite the unpredictability of combat and the increasing dangers correspondents face, they are willing to cover hot spots wherever and whenever they arise. "We don't do this job to be paid the best salaries; we do this job because it is a mission for us, to go to other countries around the world where events are happening and to make the world aware," Rosewisz said. "If I don't Within certain limits, embedded media may confirm unit casualties they have witnessed. Report of casualties must wait 72 hours or until notification of next of kin.

Source: Department of Defense live overseas again, I would be disappointed. And to write about war and peace, life and death the risk is worth making the world aware." The war in Iraq The war in Iraq has already seen correspondents as casualties. Approximately 600 correspondents are located in Iraq, covering the U.S. led war against Saddam Hussein and his regime. Two correspondents have died in the war. Paul Moran, a freelance cameraman with the Australian Broadcasting Corp., was killed at a checkpoint in the mountainous Kurdish territory in northeast Iraq when a supposed Islamic extremist detonated himself in a suicide car bomb. More notably, British ITN correspondent Terry Lloyd was killed on Saturday. He and his crew of three disappeared during a fire fight on the road to Basra, Iraq's second-largest city southeast of Baghdad. Cameraman Daniel Demoustier was injured but was recovered. He said they were in marked press vehicles traveling from the city of Iman Anas when they came under fire. They were pursued by Iraqi troops who may have been attempting to surrender to the journalists when they were caught in a fire fight between Iraqi and coalition forces. Lloyd's body and identification were found in Basra. The other two crew members remain missing in action. Lloyd was the first reporter to go into the town of Halabje in Iraq after Saddam Hussein dropped a chemical bomb on his own Kurdish people in 1988. Terry got the first exclusive pictures and report out with bodies still lying where they fell. The 50-year-old, married with two children, had just celebrated his 20th anniversary with ITN, making him ITN News' longest serving reporter. He was also the first correspondent killed on assignment in ITN's 48-year history. The Department of Defense has requested freelance correspondents to exercise extreme caution. The department has approximately 600 journalists "embedded" in Army, Marine, Navy and Air Force units. This is the first time since World War II that journalists have been involved in the day to day actions of military units. The reporters must have agreed to a set of ground rules, issued by the department, that outline 14 "releasable" categories of information, and 19 "not releasable." That's because their publication or broadcast could jeopardize operations and endanger lives. Similarly, the reporters must have the permission from the unit commander before filing a story. However, "in the event of commercial communications difficulties, media are authorized to file stories via expeditious military signal/communications capabilities. No communications equipment for use by media in the conduct of their duties will be specifically prohibited." - Edited by Ryan Wood Heard on the Hill Compiled by Nikki Overfelt I am a graduate of the University of New York at Buffalo.

David Andrews, associate professor of computer science and electrical engineering, said writeable CDs, wireless cards, zip disks and memory sticks were slowly phasing out the floppy disk. The higher storage capacity that newer technologies offer and the transfer and storage of information through wireless networking are two reasons why the floppy will become obsolete, Andrews said. Even though the floppy will eventually disappear, Andrews said it wouldn't be difficult for students and other computer consumers to adjust. "The floppy disk is not just going to be canceled," Andrews said. "I don't think it will be that much of an issue because people always end up adapting to change." The phasing out of the floppy disks and the use of more efficient technology will make computer use easier for students, Andrews said. He said the compact size of the floppy disk was a helpful feature, but floppy drives were often unreliable. Each time a floppy disk is read, the drive magnetizes the disk in order to in order to read it. After repeated use, the floppy drive eventually will wear out. At unsuspecting times, pertinent information on a disk may be lost, Andrews said. A portable, compatible alternative for students is the memory stick, said Staci Wolfe, Lawrence resident. Wolfe, who is waiting to enter graduate school at the University of Kansas in knowledge information management, said memory sticks were a great way to transfer and store information. The memory stick, which is about the size of a Post-it Note, can be used with several types of computers and even be put on a key chain, Wolfe said. R.I.P. Illustration by Wes Wedman/Kansan Angela Rubel, Great Bend senior and computer lab assistant in Budig Hall and the Kansas Union, said students should not rely on floppy disks for saving and transferring information. "A floppy disk is the worst information on." Amaton on Rubel said: "They are completely unreliable. If you saved something and walked from one lab to another." another, it's never guaranteed that your information won't be damaged when you try to open it." The floppy disk is vulnerable to damage by hot and cold weather, humidity and mistreatment in transporting it, Rubel said. She said campus labs warned students of the floppy's potential for malfunction. "We are sick and tired of people whining at us because they lost information on their floppy," Rubel said. "When they come to us and say their lives were on that disk, we laugh at them." The computer labs in the unions are also phasing out disk recovery services to encourage students to discard their floppies, Rubel said. But other options for backing up work are often more pricey than students would like. Memory sticks, which cost about $70 each, are not practical for the average student who uses a disk for a four-page paper, Rubel said. Students working on a large doctoral thesis or storing pictures or music would be the most likely to splurge for a memory stick, Rubel said. The easiest and most affordable alternative Rubel offered to replace the floppy disk was e-mail. Sending a word attachment with an e-mail is reliable and free for students, she said. In addition, people can open the information they need wherever there is Internet access. Although computer experts are saying the floppy disk will fall, Rubel said the next batch of computers in the Budig computer lab would have floppy drives. "People are attached to the floppy because it's what they have grown up using." Rubel said. "It is hard for people to change, and floppy disks are a cheap and familiar thing for students." - Edited by Lindsay Hanson Doty CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A memorable traits was her "irreverent" sense of humor. "She could speak humorously and plainly at the same time, and not many people can do that," he said. Tom Lorenz, associate chairman of the department of English, came to the University at the same time as Doty and also teaches creative writing. "She was a very flamboyant character in department, and she made a lot of people laugh," Lorenz said. Fowler said she saw Doty about once a year after graduating. Doty had become an important part of the KU community and will be missed, Fowler said. Fowler is now teaching creative writing and said she thought of Doty each time she entered the classroom. She said one lasting memory she had of Doty was her happy demeanor. "I have an image of Carolyn in my mind just throwing her head back and laughing," Fowler said. "That's the image I want to hold in my heart of her." Amy Brady, Topeka senior, had Doty as an adviser this semester for her directed studies in creative short fiction. Brady said she appreciated Doty's honesty in her critiques of students' work. "What made her such a great mentor was that she had a real knack for telling you how it is," Brady said. "If what you handed in to her was crap, she had no qualms in telling you, but if you were doing something really well, she would always make it a point to tell you." Brady said Doty's candor helped her treat her students as peers. Hartman said Doty was passionate about what was going on around her. "To be in the same room with her was to have your own sense of life heightened, I think," he said. A memorial service for Doty will be at 2 p.m. March 31 at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Edited by Lindsay Hanson Reactions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A said. "But at the same time, Saddam is a cruel dictator and he needs to be stopped." In an effort to break the tedium of repetitive war coverage, some students got creative. As Sarah Fennel, St. Louis junior, watched the war unfold Wednesday night, friends of hers made a game out of television news broadcasts. "After we watched the war foraboutthreehours,agroup of my friends each picked a word," she said. "Every time one of the words — somebody was Saddam, somebody was Baghdad and some other words — came up, the person whose word it was had to drink." Fennel said the game wasn't a sign of disrespect to the government or U.S troops, it was just a spontaneous response to continuous war coverage. "It was just the war had been on non-stop, it was boredom," she said. "It wasn't meant to make light of it, it was the same news over and over."

No matter. The Jayhawks are just happy to be heading to Anaheim, Calif., and the Sweet 16. "I wish we could go to Anaheim this weekend," sophomore guard Keith Langford said after the game. The Jayhawks will get there soon enough, but first they had to stop Arizona State freshman phenom Ike Diogu. The 6-foot-9-inch, 250-pound man-child averaged 19 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season and had been mentioned as a candidate for the nation's top freshman. And Diogu was not going to be intimidated by the Jayhawks. He told reporters on Friday that although he was impressed with the Kansas big men, he had never been schooled by anybody in his short career. He might want to rethink that statement.

The junior already had the school record in the 200-meter dash with a time of 20.77 seconds, but he broke his own record twice during the championship meet. In the preliminaries, Bookman won his heat by running the top preliminary time of 20.64. His performance earned him All-America honors for the second consecutive year. He said he was confident going into the race despite the difficult opposition. "The competition was tough because there were guys here that were running fast times all season," Bookman said. "But I knew that if I ran a clean race, that there was no one here that could beat me." Bookman was the 2002 Big 12 indoor and outdoor 200-meter dash champion. He earned All-America honors in the 200-meter dash at the last year's NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships with a seventh-place national finish. He was the favorite to win the 200-meter dash entering this year's Big 12 Championships, but he was disqualified in his preliminary race for a lane violation. That mistake earlier in the season did not bother Bookman at the NCAA meet, he said. "Iwasn't worried about making a mistake again. I just took my time and was patient and made sure that I got out of the blocks correctly." Bookman said. for the Indoor Championships. Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said Bookman earned it. Bookman was Kansas's only qualifier "He really deserved to win," Redwine said. "We're really excited for him and glad we have him on our side." Bookman is the 18th Jayhawk to become a national indoor track and field champion. The last Jayhawk to become a national champion was in 1996 when Kristi Kloster won the 800-meter run. 30 The outdoor season begins for the team Thursday at the Emporia State Twilight meet in Emporia.

Kansas went on to lose to Oklahoma 10-0. By Steve Schmidt schmidt@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Dan Nelson/Kansan Going into a doubleheader against New Mexico State on March 15 in Stillwater, Okla., it was good to be a member of the Kansas softball team. The team had a record of 14-4 and a national ranking of No.25 as it headed into what coach Tracy Bunge called the beginning of the "meat of the schedule." Unfortunately for Kansas, the meat so far has been tough to chew. A 4-4 record during spring break play made the Jayhawks record 18-8. Kansas started the eight-game stretch with two victories over New Mexico The team has yet to get a Big 12 Conference victory, going 0-4 in the span with two losses apiece against No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 23 Oklahoma State.

SEE SOFTBALL ON PAGE 3B WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Washington will continue to lead women's basketball Kansas athletics director Al Bohl announced Tuesday that women's bas ketball coach Marian Washington would be back for her 31st season as coach of the Jayhawks. "It's important that we recognize what coach Washington has accomplished over her 30-year coaching career at KU," he said in a statement. "I have talked with coach Washington and we have the same goals of wanting to see our program be a top level Big 12 Conference team." Washington guided Kansas to an 11-18 overall record last season including a 3-13 mark in the Big 12 Conference. Overall, she has a 551-347 record in 30 seasons at Kansas. "I have a great deal of respect for what coach Washington has meant to women's basketball and at the same time I have an obligation to make decisions that are in the best interest of the University of Kansas," Bohl said. "I think we are at the point that we will make an evaluation on a year-by-year basis." SPORTS COMMENTARY Kansan staff report SPEAKING COMMITTEE Ryan Wood rwood@kansan.com Washington could teach Williams foul lessons Williams has relied on junior forward Jeff Graves to carry a big load while Wayne Simien nurses a dislocated shoulder. Graves is a big body, a big rebounder and a heck of an instinctive player at times. Coach Roy Williams needs to learn a lesson, and women's coach Marian Washington could be the teacher. Graves, though, can't keep his hands to himself. Too many times, Graves has been in serious foul trouble. It's been 22 games since Simien's freak injury on Jan. 4. Graves has registered four or more fouls in 15 of those contests. Ridiculous? Yes. Preventable? Absolutely — just ask Marian Washington. Washington was faced with a far too similar task. Freshman Tamara Ransburg, the best player on the women's basketball team, is another hack-happy Jayhawk. She was the team leader in points and rebounds, and she could be the top player in the Big 12 before her career is done. But for a while, Ransburg wouldn't stop fouling. Silly ones, questionable ones, maybe even necessary ones — a Tamara Ransburg foul was no surprise to anybody watching. Fortunately for everybody involved, Washington figured out what to do and Ransburg stopped getting into foul trouble. Meanwhile, Graves keeps wearing the dunce hat, getting four fouls on Thursday against Utah State and four more Saturday against Arizona State. In Kansas's first Big 12 loss at Colorado on Jan. 22, Graves had four fouls with 18 minutes to play in the game. He was useless after that — when the team needed him the most. Kansas's next game — against Arizona on Jan. 25 — Graves had three fouls in a 40-second span early in the second half. Inexcusable on Graves's part, but also inexcusable that Williams let it get out of control. The Jayhawks are heading to the Sweet 16 after two victories this weekend. A date with Duke, and a possible showdown with Arizona, is looming for Kansas. It could be a brutal stretch of games. Has Williams not figured it out? Washington's plan was simple: Save Ransburg for when she might really need her. Kansas needs all the punches it can get, especially with Simien wearing a suit on the sidelines. Jeff Graves may be the most critical piece of the puzzle — but I wonder if he'll even see more than six or seven second-half minutes on Thursday. Washington knows that foul-prone players just can't help themselves. Does Williams? Against Kansas State on Jan. 8, Ransburg collided with K-State's Kendra Wecker just one minute into the game. She was whistled for a foul — and Washington sat her on the bench immediately. There's an unwritten basketball rule to bench a player until halftime if they have three fouls, but Washington ignores it if someone's out of control. Ransburg never had three first-half fouls. Her coach sat her down after two. In fact, Ransburg played just five minutes in the first half of that game. She still ended up with 13 points and 10 rebounds, playing the entire second half against Nicole Ohlde, the nation's best center. 1 Marian Washington has been a head coach twice as long as Roy Williams. When it comes dealing with foul-prone players,it sure does show. 1 Wood is a Lee's Summit, Mo., senior in journalism. MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2003 SPORTS "I like Bugs Bunny." Keith Langford when asked his favorite Disney character 2B • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Inside Sports later scoring system criticized Wow, this is going to be a great Final Four. West games should be in Final Four you've got perennial powerhouse Arizona playing an up-and-coming Notre Dame squad. On the other side, a match-up between Duke and Kansas, the cornerstones of college basketball, is sure to be worth at least 10 replays per year on ESPN Classic. Surely, you're joking. There's no way the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee could have put four legitimate contenders in the same bracket. Simply amazing. What great games. What great story lines. What great ... Wait a minute. What? That's not the Final Four field? Those four teams are just trying to make it out of the West regional? Three of those teams finished the season ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press Top 25 — No. 2 Arizona, No. 6 Kansas and No. 7 Duke — and Notre Dame was No. 22. They had 105 victories between them and only 25 losses. Kansas coach Roy Williams seems to know a lot about basketball. Maybe he can make sense of all this. This really is March Madness. And what's that? Notre Dame is a fifth seed and knocked off Illinois? Man, I bet that ruined a few brackets. Weren't the Illini everyone's dark-horse pick for the championship? "The whole West Region is just mind-boggling." Williams said on Selection Sunday. "Duke won their conference tournament, Illinois won their conference tournament and they're seeded lower and Florida got a two seed. I'm confused." All right, maybe not. Well, maybe all of the regions are just as strong as the West. Nope. The East's top four have won only 98 games between them, and the South recorded a whopping 86 triumphs, 19 fewer than the West. Aw, but then there is the Midwest regional. The four survivors totaled 107 victories. Selection committee vindication except that a disproportionate number of those games —31— comes from one team, Kentucky, and most of Butler's victories came in the Horizon League—a respectable mid-major conference but not exactly on par with the ACC, Big 12 or Pac-10. Still, it'll be a great Final Four, even if it is being played in the Sweet 16. Murphy is a Baldwin City senior in journalism. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Figure skating thought its judging woes were behind it. Not even close. Though officials have tried to move beyond the scandals and improprieties, judging will be in the spotlight at the World Figure Skating Championships starting today. starting today. Critics are bashing the interim scoring system, saying its anonymity creates more credibility problems. They're not sure about the radical, computer-based system that's being developed, either, wondering if it's being rushed into use. And the referee who blew the whistle on the Salt Lake City pairs scandal left a powerful committee because he doesn't like what's happening to the judging process. A year after the biggest judging scandal in Olympic history, skating is still trying to clean up the mess. "We don't have the time to keep playing around," said Robin Wagner, coach of Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes. "Our sport is at an important turning point." The International Skating Union tried at its June congress to find ways to prevent cheating and make the sport more accountable. The first step was approving development of a high-tech points system that would do away with the century-old 6.0 scoring scale. For use in the interim, delegates approved a Canadian proposal that uses the 6.0 scoring system but keeps marks anonymous. A computer randomly decides before the event which scores to count; at worlds, nine of the 14 judges' marks will be used. All of the marks are posted, but no one — not skaters, fans or even the judges themselves — know which counted or who gave them. Even the Canadians have said there should be a more public display of marks. And they came up with the idea. But the U.S. Figure Skating Association opposes the interim system, saying it has led to "an environment of mistrust." "I don't believe anyone is happy with this interim system," said Ron Pfenning, the referee of the pairs event in Salt Lake City. "There is no accountability, the athletes and public have no idea what the marks mean. It's very confusing. Pfenning is so concerned the judging process has been circumvented that he resigned from the ISU's powerful technical committee. In December, the ISU unilaterally issued a communique prohibiting the release of individual judges' marks at the post-event meeting. But Pfenning said that prevents the referees from accurately evaluating the judgments and the job they did. It was, after all, during a post-event discussion of marks at the 2002 Games that Marie-Reine Le Gougne said she'd been pressured to vote for the Russians over the Canadians. Pfenning filed a formal protest this month, and ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta responded by removing him as referee of the women's event at worlds. Pfenning then resigned from the technical committee The ISU council is supposed to vote at worlds whether to use the new points system in the Grand Prix events next season. It's been tested this year but never actually determined results. This project is Cinquanta's baby, and he made sure the entire congress voted on it while other reform proposals were left to the figure skating delegates. Delegates assumed the congress would have to vote again in 2004 before the new system could be used at a world championships or Olympics, but now they're not so sure. The vote "explicitly authorizes the council to decide when the new system can be implemented at the major ISU events," the ISU said in a statement. There are still plenty of people who don't like the idea of an X Games-like points system for a sport that combines art and athleticism. Under the proposal, every element has a set points value. Skaters would be graded on their execution of the elements, and would also get additional marks for things such as performance and choreography. All of the marks would be added together for one final score. "One of the unique things about figure skating is there is the artistic factor," Hughes said. That's why the new system needs more testing. "This is all in such a state of flux. The change has just been tremendous," USFSA president Phyllis Howard said. "I think people have to step back a little bit, and give it all a chance to work." Royals beat Arizona in close game The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. — Mike Sweeney hit his sixth home run in 15 at-bats and Mike Tucker homered twice as the Kansas City Royals took an 11-run lead and held on to beat an Arizona Diamondbacks' split squad 12-11 yesterday. Arizona's Elmer Dessens gave up five homers in the first two innings, with Mendy Lopez, Mike DiFelice and Tucker hitting consecutive home runs in the second. Tucker and Sweeney both had four RBIs, each doubling in a five-run third inning. Since going hitless in his first five atbats, Sweeney is batting.563 (27-for-48) with seven homers, four doubles and 20 RBIs. He has hit safely in 17 of his past 18 games.

Paradise Café MONDAY,MARCH 24,2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3B 'Hawks lose series against Tigers By Daniel Berk berk@kansan.com Kansan writers writer The Kansas baseball team had a minor backset this weekend, losing three games to rival Missouri in Columbia, Mo. The losses dropped the Jayhawks' record to 20-9 overall and 0-3 in the Big 12 conference. Despite the losses, coach Ritch Price was still happy with how his team played. "Missouri played very well this weekend," Price said. "If you take away four or five pitches, we could have won the series. I give them credit though, because they had the clutch hits." Kansas dropped the first game of the series 11-7 with its No.1 pitcher, senior Kevin Wheeler, on the mound. After four innings of shutout baseball, Kansas added two runs in the fourth inning with RBI singles by senior Lance Hayes and junior Matt Tribble. The Tigers responded with seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning including three homeruns, driving Wheeler out of the game. The Jayhawks had an answer as they rallied in the top of the seventh by scoring five runs. The inning was highlighted by senior Casey Spanish's fifth homerun of the season, which drove in three runs. Missouri responded again, hitting its fourth homerun off junior reliever Brandon Johnson. Johnson left the game with an elbow injury and did not pitch the remainder of the series. He will be evaluated this week. KANSAS 4 - MISSOURI 7 Team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Kansas 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 4 11 Missouri 0 0 1 0 2 1 1 2 6 1 In the second game of the series.

Junior starter Josh Duran got off to a rocky start, allowing a 7-1 lead. Kansas tried to claw itself back but could not get closer than one run. Duran was credited with the loss. "Brandon Johnson getting hurt this weekend was a big setback to our team," Price said. "Especially because we try to make our bullpen the strength of our staff." To cap the series, the Jayhawks dropped the final game of the three-game set, 7.4. Junior Ryan Knippschild got the start for Kansas and lasted six and two-thirds innings with seven runs on nine hits and three strikeouts. The Jayhawks were led by Baty, who went 3-4 with one RBI and one run scored. "Coming in here, we had a lot of confidence, and I still think we played pretty well," Spanish said. "You got to tip your hats to Missouri though because they got the hits when they needed them. It is a long season though, and I think we will respond well." Kansas will attempt to rebound at 6 p.m. tomorrow when it faces Baker University at Hoglund Ballpark.

As they have done all season, the Jayhawks followed his example and then some. Two days after criticizing himself for passing up open shots Sophomore guards Langford, 19 points, Aaron Miles, 18 points, and Michael Lee, 10 points, all joined Collison in double-figures, while shooting 67.8 percent from the field.

Kirk Hinrich senior guard and playing passively in Kansas' 64-61 victory against Utah State, Kirk Hinrich appeared with a vengeance. He took 14 shots, making nine, and was 3-for-4 from three-point range. He finished the contest with a game-high 24 points. "I knew going in that I had to be more aggressive on offense," Hinrich said. "We made things happen, and that's a key to our offense." The Jayhawks (27-7 overall) will face the No. 3 Duke Blue Devils (26-6) in the West Regional semifinals on Thursday. Edited by Michelle Burhenn Food poisoning doesn't stop Tiger The Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — Not even a nasty bout of food poisoning could stop Tiger Woods from winning the Bay Hill Invitational for the fourth straight year So sick that he frequently ducked into the bushes and dropped to his knees. Woods still looked as dominant as ever yesterday with a 4-under 68 to win by 11 strokes, the fourth time in his career he has won by double digits. Woods became the first player in 73 years to win the same tournament four years in a row, and the final margin indicates this one was the easiest of all. That was hardly the case. Woods, whose girlfriend collapsed Friday outside the clubhouse with food poisoning, came down with it himself after eating spaghetti on the eve of the final round. He threw up three times during the first five holes and often stopped in his tracks and doubled over, wincing in pain. When he tapped in for par on the final hole, he had just enough strength left on a rainy afternoon to raise his right arm and salute the crowd. Woods finished at 19-under 269 and became the first player since Gene Sarazen in the Miami Open (1926-30) to win the same event four straight times. Brad Faxon missed a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole that cost him $189,000. He had a 74 and dropped into a four-way tie for second with Kirk Triplett (70), Kenny Perry (71) and Stewart Cink (72). An anticipated showdown between Woods and Ernie Els never materialized, with the South African finishing 19 strokes back after a 77 Sunday. Arnold Palmer owns the Bay Hill Club & Lodge. Woods owns the tournament. The 11-stroke victory was the largest margin in the 25-year history of Bay Hill, breaking by two the previous mark, set by Fred Couples in 1992. It matched the third-largest margin in Woods' career, behind his 15-stroke victory in the 2000 U.S. Open and his 12-stroke win in the 1997 Masters. Woods also won at Firestone by 11 shots in 2000, when he could barely see the 18th green because of darkness. Steady rain that fell throughout the day almost kept Woods from finishing this one. Large pools of water covered every fairway, but there was no point in stopping everyone knew how this was going to turn out. It was the 12th time Woods has won a PGA Tour event by at least four shots. The most unseemly sight was Woods on his knees behind the tee boxes, in the bushes or between a couple of courtesy vans, seeking some privacy while about 10,000 people watched his every move. Softball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B The first game turned into a pitcher's' duel of Pierce and Oklahoma State's Lauren Bay. The Cowgirls rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the fourth inning of game two and went on to score four unanswered runs for the victory. On Wednesday, the Jayhawks bounced back by taking both contests in a road doubleheader against Southwest Missouri State, 7-6 and 3-0 with methodical hitting. Milhoan picked up both victories for Kansas, improving her record to 7-2 on the year. Kansas' scheduled border war game against Missouri on Thursday was canceled The Jayhawks were up 6-0 in the first game but still managed to hold off a late offensive SMS attack. because of rain and rescheduled as part of a doubleheader at 3 p.m. on April 21 in Lawrence. Oklahoma gave the Jayhawks a rude homecoming this weekend by winning two. Kansas was up 1-0 on the Sooners in the third inning when Erin Evans hit a two-run homer for Oklahoma after a one-hour rain delay to start the contest. The Sooners went on take the game, 5-1. Yesterday, Oklahoma scored nine runs in the third inning in a 10-0 shellacking of the Jayhawks. Pierce took both losses for Kansas, dropping her overall record to 11-6. Kansas will attempt to rebound at 2 p.m. tomorrow as the team hosts Oklahoma City University for a doubleheader home game.

Kansas (25-7 overall before the tournament, 14-2 Big 12 Conference) instead faced Utah State (24-8 before the tournament, 12-6 Big West Conference) on Thursday in Oldahoma City as the second seed in the West Regional "I'm confused, folks," Williams said at a press conference. Two other Big 12 teams were selected as top seeds — Oklahoma in the East Regional and Texas in the South. Kentuckywas designated the best team in the Midwest Regional and Arizona was the No. 1 in the West. Williams said he thought the selection committee had overlooked the Jayhawks' regular season accomplishments and had put undue weight on the Big 12 Conference Tournament. Kansas won the Big 12 regular season title, but lost to Missouri, 68-63, in the tournament's semifinals. Oklahoma defeated Missouri in the championship, 49-47. Williams had said he expected Oklahoma to receive a No.1 seed but thought his team should have been selected in lieu of Texas, who Kansas beat 90-87 in Lawrence and in the conference race. Williams said Texas had played well enough but thought the Jayhawks would get the nod because they had won the regular season title, defeated the Longhorns head-to-head and advanced a game beyond them in the Big 12 tournament. "I'm not against Texas," Williams said. "But again, that's what it boils down to." But Kansas sophomore forward Keith Langford said he didn't know what all the fuss was about. Langford said he wouldn't worry about what the selection committee might have done differently. "I'm not going to sit around and say they should have done this,this and this;" Langford said. "That's childish. We've got to worry about Kansas." It was a message Williams ultimately agreed with. "I'm confused, I'm mystified," he said. "It makes no freakin' difference. You goa go out and play." — Edited by Lindsay Hanson 'Hawks eliminate 'Clones in Big 12 tournament game By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswinter DALLAS — Iowa State has got to be getting tired of playing Kansas. As if it wasn't enough that the No. 4 Jayhawks (25-6 overall, 15-2 Big 12 Conference) swept the Cyclones (15-13, 5-12) in two regular season meetings, on March 14, Kansas knocked them out of the Big 12 Tournament, 89-74. Led by junior forward Jeff Graves, the Jayhawks got off to a quick start, hitting 63.3 percent of their shots in the first half and opening a 15-point lead by halftime. Graves scored two of the Jayhawks' first three baskets and hit all four of his shots in the first 20 minutes. But it was more than a just a few early buckets. Graves avoided foul trouble — committing just three in his 26 minutes of play — and dominated Iowa State's physical front line all game. He finished the day with a career-high 16 points and a game-high 12 rebounds, his fourth double-double of the season. For Graves, the game plan was simple. "Play well," he said after the game. "Play smart.Make everyone swallow their words about me fouling." While critics were busy digesting their vocabulary, Graves and his teammates made sure the Jayhawks didn't choke in their first game of the post season. All five Kansas starters scored 14 or more points in what may have been the Jayhawks' most balanced attack this season. The quality of Kansas' team performance made a believer of Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy. VROMAN 4 "I think we just met a team that has a chance to win a national championship," Eustachy said. "I'm really proud of our team. They tried really hard. They just overpowered us throughout the game." The victory moves Kansas into the tournament quarterfinals, setting up a rematch with Missouri, who beat Oklahoma State 60-58 in the following game. The Jayhawks beat the Tigers 79-74 on March 9 in Columbia, Mo., when Kansas sophomore guard Aaron Miles and senior guard Kirk Hinrich drilled two late three pointers, sealing the victory. Miles called his two-handed, line drive shot lucky, but Missouri junior forward Travon Bryant disagreed. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan Jeff Graves, junior forward, goes for a layup against Iowa State defender Jackson Vroman. In the game against Iowa State, Graves racked up 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Jayhawks beat the Cyclones 89-74. "It was a horrible shot," Bryant said. "He is a better shooter like that than he is with his feet set. He can't shoot the ball a lick, and he throws that up." Miles said he had heard about Bryant's statements but refused to say whether that would motivate him if the two teams met again. Kansas sophomore guard Keith Langford said the Jayhawks weren't listening to any talk about a fortunate victory. "Luck, luck," Langford said. "We won, five straight. Go home and cry." Edited by Lindsay Hanson period to be historical and educational. He I feel like prove, because himself is face of revenge place of onship match. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansar Kansas coach Roy Williams hangs his head in the final minutes of the game against Missouri. The Tigers' 68-63 upset against the Jayhawks ended their losing streak, "I think Missouri had just a little extra want-to," Williams said after the game. Team fizzles in Big 12 semifinal match By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter DALLAS — There weren't any last-second threes to save the Jayhawks this time. Kansas had simply run out of magic, losing to Missouri 68-63 on March 15 in the semifinals of the Big 12 Conference Tournament. The 5-point loss came just six days after the No.4 Jayhawks (25-7 overall, 14-2 Big 12) escaped with a 79-74 victory against the Tigers (21-9, 9-7) when sophomore guard Aaron Miles and senior guard Kirk Hinrich buried two late threes. In the third meeting between the teams, Miles and Hinrich didn't hit any game-winners. In fact, the pair made only one three-pointer between them. Miles was 0-4 from behind the arc and Hinrich was 1-4. "We didn't make shots," Miles said after the game. "We didn't make plays. I give them credit for making plays." Miles was referring to the shooting woes of the entire team, and it's fair to say he and Hinrich weren't the only Jayhawks to struggle. Junior forward Jeff Graves recorded a career-best 16 points to go along with 12 rebounds while leading Kansas to a 89-74 victory against Iowa State the day before, but foul trouble kept him from a repeat performance against Missouri. After scoring a couple quick buckets, including a violent rebound dunk in the first half, Graves picked up his third foul less than a minute and a half into the second stanza. When he earned his fourth foul with just less than 12 minutes to play, Kansas coach Roy Williams confined him to the bench for the next eight minutes, and Graves never recovered. After the game, Graves said he was a different player in the second half. player "I felt like it was there in the first half," he said. "In the second half, I don't know what happened." What happened to the Jayhawks in the second 20 minutes was a 14-5 Tiger run that left Kansas trailing 55-56 with seven minutes to play. The Jayhawks battled back but could never take more than a 3-point advantage. When Missouri junior forward Arthur Johnson put the Tigers ahead 65-63 at the 2:08 mark with his 11th and 12th points, Kansas would never lead again. The Jayhawks had another opportunity to tie the game or take the lead when sophomore guard Keith Langford drove the lane with 38 seconds left, but Langford fired a pass to sophomore guard Michael Lee that caromed off Lee's hands and out of bounds. Missouri made three of four free throws in the final seconds, avoiding a third loss to Kansas this season. "We're very discouraged, disappointed, upset, you can describe it any way you want to." Williams said at a postgame press conference. — Edited by Lindsay Hanson $5 off any service over $20 Hair Experts Design Team 2100 - B West 25th Street • 841.6886 • 800.246.6886 Bring this ad in to receive your discount --- Keep your eye on the ball.

MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B Cowboy wrestlers claim NCAA title; Sooners earn third The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Johnny Thompson ended his college wrestling career with a meager 2-2 career record against Minnesota's Ryan Lewis. In NCAA title matches, however, Thompson owns the rivalry, and his latest victory helped Oklahoma State win its 31st national team championship Saturday. Thompson beat Lewis in the 133-pound final for the second straight year, and teammate Jake Rosholt won the 184-pound title as the Cowboys won their first championship since 1994 and extended their NCAA record for overall titles. Iowa is a distant second with 20. Minnesota, the two-time defending champion, finished second, 39 points behind the Cowboys. Oklahoma was third and Lehigh finished fourth. "This is great for our program." Cowboys coach John Smith said. "The kids really needed this." "You're disappointed. You don't come here to place second," Minnesota coach J Robinson said. "You start accepting second, there's something wrong. At one time, I would look at second as great. After you've won a couple of times, it's different." Thompson, a junior who had been 0-2 against Lewis in regular-season matches, scored a third-period takedown against his senior rival and held on for a 5-3 decision. "I feel like I had a little more to prove, because he beat me last," Thompson said. "I wanted a little bit of revenge, and what better place than the national championship match?" Rosholt scored five takedowns in a 13-5 decision over Missouri's Scott Barker to win the 184-pound title. Oklahoma State clinched its championship even before the finals began, padding its lead over the Gophers to 331/2 points with a strong showing in Saturday morning's consolation rounds. "You win 10 out of 12 matches on Saturday, you win national titles," Smith said. "That's the day to make it count." The Cowboys got third-place finishes from 197-pound Muhammed Lawal and 174-pound Chris Pendelton. "It was a big relief knowing we had already captured the team title," Thompson said. "It wasn't resting on my shoulders. That took the pressure off." Of the six 2002 champions at this year's meet, Thompson was the only one to repeat. Minnesota's Jared Lawrence, the defending champ at 149 pounds, lost 10-8 in his championship rematch with Arizona State's Eric Larkin. The other four returning champions were eliminated earlier. Damion Hahn was the only one of Minnesota's three finalists to win, scoring a 2-point take-down with 3 seconds left for a 5-4 decision over top-seeded Jon Trenge of Lehigh. "When there's time on the board, there's still time to wrestle," said Hahn, who went down 4-3 when he gave up an uncontested escape midway through the third period. "I guess I wanted to make it dramatic." Two wrestlers won titles for Oklahoma: Top-seeded freshman Teyon Ware and Robbie Waller. Kansas nearly exits NCAA Tournament in Utah State match By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter Tight victory shakes up Jayhawks OKLAHOMA CITY — Kansas junior forward Jeff Graves sports a mass of black hair right now, but a few more close calls — like Thursday's 64-61 victory against Utah State — could leave him looking more like his silver-haired coach, Roy Williams. "I was starting to get gray hair right there," Graves said after the game. "We can't do that anymore. We gotta keep teams down." The West Regional, which contains names like Arizona, Duke and Illinois, was bound to cause a few sleepless nights for any team playing in it, but the 15th-seeded Aggies (24-9, 12-6 Big West Conference) proved the No. 2 Jayhawks (26-7 overall, 14-2 Big 12 Conference) aren't likely to get any easy victories. In the first half, Utah State executed a two-three match-up zone defense to perfection, holding Kansas to just five offensive rebounds and 9 second-chance points. The Utah State defense, paired with the inside presence of senior forward Desmond Penigar, led the Aggies on a 13-4 run, slicing a one-time 13-point lead to 4 by halftime. It was more of the same from Utah State after the intermission, and the results were equally impressive. After burning the Jayhawks for 10 points in the first 10 min. "Somebody's got to shoot. I'm not going to just sit there and watch the game slip out of our hands." Keith Langford sophomore guard 1 STATE utes, Penigar continued to mystify Kansas in the second half. Deceptively nimble for a 6-foot-7 245-pounder, Penigar hurt the Jayhawks inside and out. He grabbed nine rebounds and scored 25 points, including two of five three-pointers. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan "He didn't surprise me," Kansas senior forward Nick Collison told reporters. "I knew he was good from watching the tape. He's as good as anybody in our league." Collison wasn't too bad, either. He scored his 2,000th career point and passed Texas Tech's Bernard King for the all-time leading scorer in the Big 12 on his way to 18 points and seven rebounds. Kansas needed almost every one of them. Collison was part of a collective effort that saved Kansas from a first-round exit from the NCAA Tournament. Keith Langford, sophomore guard, negotiates his way to the basket against the defense of Ronnie Ross, Utah State senior guard. The Jayhawks beat the Utah State Aggies 64-61 Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Lanford led the team's scoring with 22 points. Sophomore guard Keith Langford made sure the Jayhawks never lost the lead, scoring a team-high 22 points, 12 in the second half. His layup and ensuing free throw with 3:28 to play stretched a two-point Kansas lead to 58-53, ending a 7-4 Utah State run. Despite Langford's efforts, the Aggies weren't through yet. With less than a minute to play. "Somebody's got to shoot," Langford said. "I'm not going to just sit there and watch the game slip out of our hands." Penigar drilled a three-pointer, pulling Utah State to within 3 points. When Aggie junior forward Cardell Butler picked off a pass from Kansas sophomore guard Aaron Miles and raced the length of the floor, it seemed Utah State would cut the lead to one point. Miles, however, followed Butler and poked the ball out of bounds at the 12-second mark. An Aggie timeout, two missed three-pointers and 12 long seconds later, the Jayhawks finally could relax. "If anything else," Graves said, "it was a long couple of seconds." Kansas moved on to play No. 10 Arizona State, an 84-71 winner against 7th-seeded Memphis, in the second round at 7:10 Saturday night. — Edited by Lindsay Hanson LTC March Madness Sale Lawrence Athletic Club will reduce its enrollment fee by $1 for every point KU scored in its last tournament game. *Some Restrictions Apply* Offer Expires April 9,2003 LAC North 3201 Mesa Way 785.842.4966 LAC South 2108W.27th St. 785.331.2288 Go 'Hawks!

A A DOGGIE Gonzaga 96-95 Saturday. S a l i m Stoudamire, quiet most of the intense evening, scored 5 points in the second overtime as the Wildcats, the West's No.1 seed, held off ninth-seeded Stoudamire's floater in the lane with 2:03 left in the second overtime were the game's final points. Gonzaga had numerous chances to take the lead but failed. Tony Skinner, whose career-high 25 points included 5-of-11 shooting on three-pointers, missed an open three with four seconds to play for the Zags. Blake Stepp, who scored 19 of his 25 points after halftime, missed a 5-foot follow-up bank shot just before the buzzer sounded. Gonzaga (24-9) nearly pulled off an upset that would have dwarfed anything the Bulldogs did during their exhilarating tournament runs in 1999, 2000 and 2001. They collapsed to the floor in disappointment and Arizona (27-3) advanced to a regional semifinal against Notre Dame. Jason Gardner scored 22 for the Wildcats, Channing Frye had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and Rick Anderson added 17 points and 11 rebounds. Luke Walton 16 points, nine assists, two blocked shots and three steals. His basket with 4.1 seconds to go forced the second overtime. Duke 86, Central Michigan 60 SALT LAKE CITY — Dahntay Jones scored a career-high 28 points and J.J. Redick added 26 as the third-seeded Devils ran past the No. 11 Chippewas Saturday. C Duke (26-6) gave coach Mike Krzyzewski his 60th NCAA tournament victory, second only to Dean Smith's 65. The Blue Devils advanced to the regional semifinals for the sixth year in a row and the 20th time in their 28 NCAA appearances. After struggling to beat No. 14 seed Colorado State 67-57 on Thursday, Duke came out strong and never let up against the outmanned, slower champions of the Mid-American Conference. The only lead Central Michigan (25-7) had was 2-0. Chris Kaman scored 25 points and added 10 rebounds for the Chippewas, but teammate Mike Manciel managed just 5 points on 1-for-9 shooting. Notre Dame 68. Illinois 60 INDIANAPOLIS — Dan Miller matched a career high with 23 points as Notre Dame advanced to the regional semifinals for the first time in 16 years yesterday. N Chris Thomas added 17 points for the Fighting Irish (24-9), who had not advanced this far in the NCAAs since 1987 under coach Digger Phelps. That year, they were eliminated in the regional semifinals by North Carolina. It was a disappointing secondround exit for Illinois (25-7), the Big Ten tournament champions. Conference player of the year Brian Cook had 19 points and 16 rebounds. Notre Dame shot 13-for-24 from three-point range, including 11-of-16 in the first half. Miller sank his first five threes and finished 5-for-7. Thomas and Matt Carroll each hit three from beyond the arc. MIDWEST championship. Marquette 101, Missouri 92, OT INDIANAPOLIS — Fresh man Steve Novak made three three-pointers and the Golden Eagles made all of their shots in overtime to pull away from Mis souri and into the regional semifinals on Saturday. Travis Diener led the third-seeded Golden Eagles (25-5) with 26 points, while Dwyane Wade added 24 points and eight rebounds. It is Marquette's first trip to the round of 16 since 1994 and only its second since coach Al McGuire and the 1977 team won the national M Marquette made six straight baskets and all six free throws in overtime, advancing to play Pittsburgh on Thursday in Minneapolis. Rickey Paulding scored 36 points and made nine three-pointers, both career highs, for the sixth-seeded Tigers (22-11) who had reached the regional semifinals the last two years. Arthur Johnson added 28 points and 18 rebounds. Wisconsin 61, Tulsa 60 SPOKANE, Wash. — Freddie Owens, playing on a sprained right ankle, hit a 3-pointer with one second left to cap a late rally W Tilsa and lift fifth-seeded Wisconsin over No. 13 Tulsa. The Badgers (23-7), making a school-record fifth straight NCAA appearance, advanced to the regional semifinals and will play Kentucky. Owens was injured in Wisconsin's opening-round victory over Weber State and his status was unclear until tipoff. Mike Wilkinson had 18 points and eight rebounds for Wisconsin, while Devin Harris scored 12 and Alando Tucker 10. The Badgers survived despite a 6-point effort by their best player, Kirk Penney. Kevin Johnson scored 23 points and Jason Parker had 17 for Tulsa (23-10), the lowest-seeded team to advance past the first round. The Golden Hurricane were in control, leading 58-45 with 4:08 to play before the Badgers rallied with an 11-0 run. Pittsburgh 74, Indiana 52 BOSTON — Pittsburgh's defense put the Panthers in the round of 16 for the second consecutive year and ended Indiana's hopes of back-to-back trips to the NCAA title game. Jaron Brown scored 20 points, and Brandin Knight added 17 points, seven assists and five steals for second-seeded Pittsburgh (28-4), which has won 11 straight. The Panthers will play No. 3 Marquette in Minneapolis PITTSBURGH U George Leach scored 15 points for the seventh-seeded Hoosiers (21-13), who lost to Maryland in the championship game last year. Ψ on Thursday Kentucky 74, Utah 54 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Keith Bogans and Marquis Estill scored 18 points apiece and top-seeded Kentucky cruised into the round of 16 for the ninth time in 11 TEMPEHAN years. U U Kentucky (31-3) stretched its winning streak to 25 games, a run sparked by an 18-point loss to rival Louisville on Dec. 28. U No. 9 Utah (25-8) had its season end at the hands of Kentucky. The teams were meeting in the tournament for the fifth time in 11 years — the Wildcats have won each time, including a victory in the 1998 championship game. It wasn't a shock at all that Kentucky advanced to meet Wisconsin in the regional semifinals at Minneapolis on Thursday. The Wildcats were knocked out in the round of 16 the last two years, but it will take a major upset by the Badgers to make it three in a row. Marc Jackson led Utah with 19 points. SOUTH Connecticut 85, Stanford 74 SPOKANE, Wash. — Ben Gordon scored 29 points, and Emeka Okafor added 18 points and 15 rebounds to lead fifth-seeded Connecticut (23-9) into WALKING DEPOT the round of 16. Gordon, held to 14 points in an opening win over BYU, shot 8-for-14 and made all nine of his free-throw attempts. S Julius Barnes had 23 points, and Justin Davis bounced back from a scoreless opener to score 21 for Stanford (24-9). Texas 77, Purdue 67 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Triple-threat T.J. Ford and his Texas teammates are going home to keep playing in the NCAA tournament, that is. PURDU Considered by some to be the best guard in college basketball, Ford scored 21 points and added nine rebounds and eight assists Now, he and the top-seeded Longhorns (24-6) can take their traveling party back to Texas. They're headed to San Antonio, where they'll take on fifth-seeded Connecticut on Friday at the Alamodome. James Thomas contributed 11 points and 12 rebounds and Royal Ivey had 14 points as Texas reached the round of 16 for the second straight year, a first for the program. Willie Deane scored 13 points for ninth-seeded Purdue (19-11), which fell short of the round of 16 for the fourth time in six seasons. MARYLAND NASHVILLE, Tenn. — No need to beat the bounce this time. Maryland 77, Xavier 64 Maryland jumped ahead of Xavier right from the start. Drew Nicholas in the most exciting finish of the first round, shut down David West early and beat the Musketeers to reach the round of 16 for the third straight year. The defending national champion Terrapins, who got a game-winning three-pointer from Nicholas and Ryan Randle scored 17 points apiece for sixth-seeded Maryland (21-9). West, the three-time Atlantic 10 player of the year, finished with 22 points and nine rebounds for No.3 seed Xavier (26-6), but most of it came way too late. Michigan State 68, Florida 46 Getting playing time that might have otherwise gone to Roberson, freshman guard Mau TAMPA, Fla. — Michigan State, stung and shocked when Anthony Roberson chose Florida over the home-state Spartans, held the freshman guard scoreless as part of a stunningly easy victory over the Gators. S rice Ager scored 16 points to help the seventh-seeded Spartans (22-11) victory in a rematch of the 2000 title game, also a Michigan State victory. Tom Izzo's team advanced to play defending champion Maryland in the South Regional semifinals next week in San Antonio. The second-seeded Gators (25-8) failed to get past the first weekend of the tournament for the third straight year and failed to break 50 points for the first time in coach Billy Donovan's seven years. David Lee finished with 16 points and four rebounds. EAST Oklahoma 74, California 65 OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Bookout scored a career-high 22 points and fellow freshman De'Angelo Alexander added 15 as the angeloid Sooners (26-6) cruised into Cal the regional semifinals. Brian Wethers matched his career high with 27 points and Joe Shipp scored 20 for the eighth-seeded Golden Bears (22-9), but they didn't get much help. Oklahoma star Hollis Price the Big 12 player of the year, was still bothered by a left groin injury. He played 30 minutes but scored just five points. Butler 79, Louisville 71 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A team of blue-collar kids with crew cuts from a tiny Indiana school beat a powerhouse in the big tournament. BULLDOG HARDING Sound vaguely familiar? Darnell Archey's brilliant shooting and Brandon Miller's deft ball-handling Sunday swept 12th-seeded Butler into the round of 16 for the first time with a 79-71 stunner over Rick Pitino and Louisville in the East Regional.

The Horizon League team that plays in the gym where the ultimate underdog movie, Hoosiers, was filmed is writing a poignant script of its own with upsets of No. 5 Mississippi State and the fourth-seeded Cardinals (26-6). Next, the Bulldogs (27-5) meet top-seeded Oklahoma on Friday in Albany, N.Y. Archey shot 8-of-9 on three-pointers — hitting all six in the second half — and tied his career high with 26 points to end Pitino's return to the NCAA tournament. Butler, with an enrollment of about 4,000 — less than a fifth of Louisville's — made 14-of-22 three-pointers, including 9-of-13 in the second half, to erase an early 15-point deficit. Reece Gaines scored 22 of his 26 points in the second half for Louisville. Syracuse 68, Oklahoma State 56 BOSTON — Never count out oSu Carmelo Anthony and Syracuse's other freshmen. 1234567890 And don't write off the Big East, either. The conference remained unbeaten in the NCAA tournament when Syracuse overcame an awful start to advance to the East Regional semifinals. Third-seeded Syracuse (26-5) will be joined in the round of 16 by three other teams from the Big East, 8-0 in the tournament. The conference received only four bids to the NCAA, which excluded one of its division winners, Boston College. No. 6 Oklahoma State (22-10) rushed to a 14-2 lead, running after nearly every miss by the Orangemen. But Anthony, Gerry McNamara and Billy Edelin, all freshmen, brought Syracuse back. Auburn 68, Wake Forest 62 Edelin scored 20 points, and McNamara finished with 14 despite missing nearly six minutes to have a wound bandaged above his nose. Anthony, perhaps the nation's top freshman, had 13. TAMPA, Fla. — Cliff Ellis can sing it proud. His Auburn Tigers really do belong in the NCAA tournament. Feeding off their underdog star THE GHOST tus one more time, the team that many felt shouldn't have been invited to the tourney stunned second-seeded Wake Forest yesterday. Marquis Daniels led the way, returning from a five-minute spell on the bench in foul trouble to score seven of his 18 points in the final four minutes. Reserve Lewis Monroe scored Auburn's last four points from the foul line to finish with 12. The 10th-seeded Tigers (22- 11) advanced to the round of 16 for the second time in five seasons under Ellis, a musician who's recorded several CDs that the coach likes to play in the locker room and on the team bus. Auburn will face third-seeded Syracuse in the regional semifinals. Freshman Justin Gray led Wake Forest (25-6) with a career-high 26 points. But the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season champions were unable to overcome another subpar performance by Josh Howard, the ACC player of the year. He had 14 points and a team-high seven turnovers. Cincinnati selects pitching rotation The Associated Press Jimmy Anderson is in the Cincinnati Reds' rotation, Kent Mercker is in the bullpen and Barry Larkin could wind up in the outfield. The Reds firmed up their pitching staff yesterday by awarding Anderson a spot in the rotation and giving bullpen jobs to Mercker, Felix Heredia and Josias Manzanillo. Manager Bob Boone planned to play Larkin, his 38-year-old shortstop, in left field yesterday against Cleveland in his original lineup, but rain prompted Boone to shift Larkin back to the infield. Boone is leaning toward starting Larkin in center field today. In his 16 seasons, Larkin has played three games at second base and the other 1,940 at shortstop. He's never played outfield — not even in a spring training game. "I'll try to get him out there so it's not completely foreign if some catastrophe hits us," Boone said. the April 1 opener at Houston instead of injured Denny Neagle Boone is considering carrying 12 pitchers to start the season, leaving him short a position player. Larkin didn't mind his expanded job description, even though it meant learning on the job and taking a lot of grief from Ken Griffey Jr. Colorado, meanwhile, set its rotation by moving NL Rookie of the Year Jason Jennings up to pitch "I think I'm the emergency sixth or seventh outfielder." Larkin said, grinning. "But I think there's a reason. I've always played infield." Neagle, bothered by a sore left elbow, will be pushed back to the fifth spot. "It's something to be proud of," Jennings said. "It's just one game, but it's got a little more meaning to it." Kansas City set its rotation, picking left-handers Chris George and Darrell May to join Runelvys Hernandez, Jeremy Affeldt and Miguel Asencio. Expos 3, Orioles 0 At Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Zach Day virtually assured himself a spot in Montreal's starting rotation, pitching six innings of two-hit ball in a game shortened to seven innings by rain. Rick Helling, competing against Pat Hentgen for the final spot in Baltimore's rotation, allowed three runs, two earned, in six innings. Astros 2, Dodgers 1 At Vero Beach, Fla., Wade Miller gave up three hits in six shutout innings to beat Kevin Brown, who struck out seven in five innings, allowing two runs one earned — and three hits. Kazuhisa Ishii followed with four scoreless innings of two-hit ball. Indians 2, Reds 0 At Sarasota, Fla., Ricardo Rodriguez allowed four hits in six innings, and David Riske struck out the side in the ninth. Cleveland manager Eric Wedge told Riske and infielder Casey Blake before the game that they'd made the club. Twins 4, Devil Rays 3 At Fort Myers, Fla., Jacque Jones hit a three-run homer, and Rick Reed allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings. Ben Grieve went 3-for-4 for Tampa Bay, and Brent Abernathy hit a two-run double. Mets 11, Braves 10 At Port St. Lucie, Fla., Al Leiter allowed six runs and 10 hits in 3 1-3 innings, giving up a homer to Atlanta pitcher Russ Ortiz. Ortiz pitched shutout ball until the fifth, when Jeromy Burnitz hit a solo homer and Tony Clark hit a two-run drive. White Sox 4, Rangers 0 At Tucson, Ariz., Jon Garland gave up six hits and five walks in six innings but pitched out of trouble. Texas starter John Thomson gave up all four runs — two earned — and eight hits in five innings with five strikeouts. Athletics 13. Mariners 6 At Peoria, Ariz. Barry Zito allowed five runs, six hits and five walks in 4 2-3 innings. Oakland scored eight runs in the ninth off minor leaguers Scott Atchison and Emiliano Fruto. Giants 6, Cubs 0 At Scottsdale, Ariz., Damian Moss pitched six innings of three-hit ball. Ray Durham hit his first homer of the spring and Yorvit Torrealba drove in three runs. Barrie Bonds and Trey Lunsford also drive in runs for the Giants. Rockies 5. Brewers 4 At Tucson, Todd Helton had three hits and Chris Richard's first homer of the spring provided the go-ahead run. Milwaukee's Glendon Rusch allowed one run and four hits in four innings with four strikeouts. Diamondbacks (ss)11 At Surprise, Ariz., Mike Sweeney hit his sixth homer in 15 at-bats, his seventh overall, and Mike Tucker homered twice as Kansas City built an 11-10 lead. Arizona's Elmer Dessens gave up five homers in the first two innings, with Mendy Lopez, Mike DIFelice and Tucker hitting consecutive homers in the second. Diamondbacks (ss) 7, Padres (ss) 7, tie At Yuma, Ariz., a split-squad game that featured several Padres stars of the future and former major league pitchers trying to stick with the Diamondbacks was called after 10 innings. Doug Henry, David Cortes, Jerry Spradlin and Scott Service pitched for Arizona in the game, played in San Diego's former spring-training home. Padres (ss)5, Angels 1 At Tempe, Ariz., Oliver Perez pitched six scoreless innings. Gary Bennett went 2-for-3 and hit his first homer of the spring, a solo shot off starter Ramon Ortiz. Frankie Rodriguez and Troy Percival combined to strike out five of the final six Padres' hitters. The Associated Press Future uncertain for Mizzou stars INDIANAPOLIS — Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding had said they would be back for their senior seasons at Missouri. But after the Tigers were eliminated by Marquette in the second round of the NCAA tournament, they didn't sound so sure. "We're going to address that when we get back to Columbia," Paulding said after scoring a career-high 36 points in Missouri's 101-92 overtime loss. "Right now, I'm just thinking about the game, not thinking about that." On March 1, after a game against Kansas State in Manhattan, Paulding and Johnson both said they planned on coming back. “(It’s) just something I have to talk about with my family and the coaching staff,” Paulding said Saturday. “Right now, it's the furthest thing from my mind.” Johnson, whose projected NBA stock had not been as high as Paulding's, also said after the Kansas State game that he was coming back for his senior season. "I've already answered that But when pressed, Johnson said. "I'm just thinking about this loss right now. I haven't really thought about anything like that." question." Johnson said Saturday, after scoring 28 points in Missouri's loss. Missouri coach Quin Snyder didn't clear up the matter. "We want them to do the best thing for them," Snyder said. "It changes week to week. It changes month to month, year to year. "I want what they and their families want. They have to sit down and talk about it." Both Paulding and Johnson, however, did look a bit toward next season, when Missouri could have five seniors. "I think we showed toward the end of the season that we're a really, really good team." Pauldingsaid. "We'll be a pretty good group next year. We've got some good recruits coming in and we get (transfer) Jason Conley." Added Johnson: "I had a good year this year, just coming from the hard (work) I put into it in the off-season. That's only going to get better with this off-season coming and next year."

Mayforth presented slides of his work last night and spoke about working as an illustrator. Mayforth is a nationally know illustrator and cartoonist who has worked for many national newspapers and magazines. By Lauren Bristow Ibristow@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Illustrator Hal Mayforth describes his illustrations as funny little guys with big noses and big eyes. Mayforth, a cartoonist, presented his work to a group of students and Lawrence residents last night at the Spencer Museum of Art in coordination with the Hallmark Symposium Series. "I was into dinosaurs, Cadillaacs and women with big breasts," Mayforth told audience members while showing a slide of one of his sketchbooks from 1987. Mayforth said he drew in sketchbooks for about an hour each morning. He said he picked up the habit while he was a student at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York in the 1970s. "I was required to complete a sketchbook over the course of a semester for a class requirement," he said. "Basically, I've been doing it ever since." During his hour-long lecture, May. forth told audience members that artistic ideas could come from many aspects of one's life. Slides of his work included material about his three sons, family vacations and daily household life. "You can see his thought processes and who he is in each of his drawings," said Brian Hinel, Wichita senior. "It's just great work." Besides humorous illustrations, Mayforth also produces work in water color and oil paints. He has received numerous awards including Cartoonist of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 1993. His clients have included publications such as Time, Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal, as well as companies such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Mayforth's appearance was part of the Hallmark Symposium Series which features artists, photographers, writers and other creative professionals each semester. "The Symposium Series enables students to see creative professionals in various aspects of design," said Tom "I was into dinosaurse. Cadillacs and women with big breasts." Hal Mayforth Cartoonist Beisecker, chairman of the design department. The School of Fine Art's design department sponsors the series which is also a required course for some majors in the department. "The Symposium gives students a chance to see what other people are doing and how they got there," Hinel said. "It shows students a behind-the-scenes look at professional's work." The Symposium is in its 20th year and is annually funded by a grant from the Hallmark Corporation. Each semester seven design professionals are featured biweekly. Housing fair helps renters to find deals, availabilities Edited by Erin Chapman — Edited by Anne Mantey By Jessica Palimenio jalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Students searching for off-campus living may not have to travel much farther than the Kansas Union today. The Off-Campus Living Resource Center is sponsoring the fair to make students' search for next year's homes a little easier. Students will be able to receive information from a variety of different rental properties at the Off-Campus Living Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the lobby on the fourth floor of the Union. "People can check out a number of options at one time, instead of searching through the papers," said Sam Pierron, director of off-campus living. Participating complexes will have pamphlets, floor plans and other information on hand for prospective residents. Aberdeen Apartments, 2300 Wakarusa Drive, will use a laptop computer to show virtual tours of its apartments. The complex is taking advantage of the opportunity to reach students on campus, said Jeannie Morrison, manager at Aberdeen Apartments. Mastercraft Apartments will also be participating in the fair. Most of the six Mastercraft properties are near campus and rent to students, said Bobbie Wencel, Mastercraft manager. Wencel said she would use the fair to talk to prospective renters. The Legends will offer application fee waivers and give away prizes each hour to students at the fair. Aberdeen apartment will offer coupons that can save students more than $700 on a 12-month lease. Morrison said. Prizes include items such as gift baskets and yoga accessories. The apartment complex The Legends, 4101 W.24th Place, is using the fair as an opportunity the get its name out and showcase its amenities, said Martha Cusik, manager of the Legends apartments. "The opportunity to actually speak to someone is rare," she said. "We can get in touch with them before they begin the leg work." Participating complexes will also be offering special deals and giving away prizes. Basketball fan is off-the-wall By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Stephanie Grissom surrounds herself day and night with University of Kansas men's basketball players. Grissom, Wichita junior, created a wall-covering collage with newspaper clippings of the Jayhawks. She began cutting and pasting at the beginning of this season. Her collage now covers her entire hallway. Although she favors Wayne Simien and Jeff Hawkins, she pays tribute to all team members — even Roy Williams. Grissom said visitors to her jawhawk Towers apartment were often stunned. "Nobody has ever said that it's weird," she said. "They probably just don't mention it because it would hurt my feelings." Grissom's love for college basketball was evident. It was hard to draw her attention away from the Kentucky vs. Utah game on Sunday night. In addition to Grissom's Jayhawk collage, she has waited patiently in the hallways of Allen Fieldhouse during all hours of the day for prime seats at home basketball games. Grissom's roommates aren't bothered by her basketball infatuation. Tincy Mathew, Grissom's roommate, camps out in Allen Fieldhouse alongside her. "While camping out earlier this season, Roy gave all the campers a tour of his office and the team locker room," Mathew. Olathe senior, said. "Everyone was so organized except for Keith Langford — he has 10 pairs of shoes." Andy Coleman, Grissom'sboyfriend, said he doesn't feel threatened even though his girlfriend has pictures of other guys in her apartment. "I'm not jealous at all." Coleman, Wichita freshman, said. "Although I do wish that I could be Jeff Hawkins." The couple jokingly refers to Hawkins as Grissom's husband. Grissom has no superstitions that she must adhere to when watching games, but she admits that she sometimes has to leave the room when things are looking dim for the Jayhawks. Kay Grissom, Stephanie's mother, is a bit surprised with her daughter's school spirit. "I knew she was pretty fanatical, but I didn't realize to what extent," Kay Grissom said. Although Stephanie Grissom predicts the Jayhawks will not win this year's tournament, she will cheer them on anyway. — Edited by Anne Mantey KU screams past NU KU blocks Texas' bid A KU ORIGINAL Jayhawks bounce back KU Next KU puts on exhibition Washburn washed out Lindford wild camp THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS BASKETBALL Miles from home Oxford burles Bears Kansas holds off Tigers Jayhawks road full of fans Jared Soares/Kansan Stephanie Grissom, Wichita junior, is a men's basketball fanatic.

Students foster U.S.-Israeli relations By Kelley Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer By Kelley Weiss In its first official field trip, a new University of Kansas organization will meet with top political figures to discuss relations between the United States and Israel Colin Powell, Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, Assistant to the president for National Security Affairs, and U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California), among other academic personalities will attend the conference, said Sam Hopkins, Prairie Village sophomore. The conference will have many learning Three KU Israel Alliance members will travel to Washington, D.C., for a national policy conference sponsored by the American Israel Public Action Committee. opportunities for the KU Israel Alliance. The KU students who will attend the conference are Hopkins, Leo Khayet, Overland Park sophomore, and Benjy Simon, Overland Park sophomore. Sixty other universities considered "politically influential" by the AIPAC will participate in the conference, Khayet said. AIPAC officials estimate that between 5,000 and 6,000 people will attend. The month-old group will present a petition at the AIPAC conference. The petition has more than 1,000 signatures from the University and the Lawrence community in support of better United States and Israel relations. Adam Goldman, the deputy director of the office of public liaison for the White House, will receive the petition from the KU students. A copy of the petition will also be given to U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore, (D-Kansas.) The mission of the KU Israel Alliance is to gain community support for the legitimacy of the state of Israel and to raise awareness among the University and Lawrence residents about the ensuing conflict between the Israeliis and Palestinians, Khayet said. The media's bias towards the Palestinian and inaccurate information about Israel is one example Khayet gave of misrepresentation of Israel. "People might get information from a two paragraph story or a five second blip on TV." Khayet said. "We want to give people a better perspective." Khayet and Hopkins have attended two previous AIPAC conferences in July of 2002 and over winter break. One of the goals AIPAC asked universities to meet was to raise awareness among students about United States and Israel relations. Hopkins said he was looking forward to interacting with other universities and discussing the progress students have made in raising awareness on campuses around the nation. "To see all these universities coming together will be encouraging and we can see what we have accomplished," Hopkins said. Gathering signatures from the University and Lawrence community was an immediate method of raising awareness at the University about the United States and national AIPAC press secretary, said the University of Kansas students actions in the KU Israel Alliance were used as a model SEE ISRAELI ON PAGE 10A 4x 2A • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY,MARCH 25,2003 The Inside Front News briefs CORRECTION The March 12 edition of The University Daily Kansan contained an error.

CITY Some Kansans to get natural gas turned off LAWRENCE — Thousands of poor and low-income Kansans have fallen behind on their natural gas bills and many are being disconnected this month as temperatures rise. "Basically, their gas bills have built up over the winter and now—if they don't pay it—they're about to be cut off," said Chip Blaser, development director at Ballard Community Center in Lawrence. "They want to pay it, but a lot of them are at the point where they're having to choose between buying food or paying the gas bill." Most of those seeking aid, Blaser said, are employed. The state's Cold Weather Rule allows utility companies to begin disconnecting customers when spring temperatures, according to National Weather Service forecasts, will be above 35 degrees for 48 hours. Administered by the Kansas Corporation Commission since 1980, the rule is designed to protect people most of them poor, frail or elderly from freezing to death. Under the rule, delinquent customers can be reconnected between now and March 31 by paying one twelfth of what's owed, plus connection fees. For the next 11 months, they won't be cut off as long as they pay their monthly bill and one-twelfth of the money owed. But between April 1 and Oct. 31, those who've been disconnected must pay their past-due bills in full before being reconnected.

Palmer, who has traveled with and filmed bands such as the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, visited the University of Kansas this week to present his work. By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Music fans can only dream of hanging out with rock stars such as John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger. Tony Palmer got to know them all while making a slew of documentaries and films about the 1960s and 1970s rock scenes. The British filmmaker is visiting the University of Kansas this week. He began with a presentation titled "Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll" last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. His lecture series continues today with "Biography on Film: Constructing a Public History" at 3:30 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium at the union. He will spend tomorrow making appearances in various film classes at the University and the University of Missouri—Kansas City. During the 1960s and 70s, Palmer, at the request of his friend John Lennon, began touring with bands such as Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and almost every other popular group or artist of the time, to get insight on their lives and record it on film. "It was an amazing moment," Palmer said about the years from1965 to 1973. "Then commercialization took over and made it bland, sanitized and packaged for us. They had something to say about the world — which is long gone from today's music." Palmer has won more than 50 international prizes for his films about musical genres. He said the trait that ties musicians together and makes them interesting was their moral and social courage. "They're all people with the ability to translate their feelings into something with personal appeal — something most of us are incapable of," he said. Palmer said one problem with today's musicians is the lack of social awareness, or at least the desire to show it in public — something not missing from the Vietnam era. "Today's artists do not protest," he said. "There is no 'singing in the streets," which is shameful." John Tibbetts, professor of theater and film at the University, said he enjoyed Palmer because of pure range of interests and that he never sold out to Hollywood. For now, Palmer said he hoped students would admire the courage of yesterday's musicians. "we need people that will stand up and say 'it's not good enough' instead of brow-beaten by presidents who think they know better," he said. - Edited by Erin Chapman By Jessica Palimenio jalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Fraternity earns awards, plaque After a semester of hard work, the men of Theta Chifraternity received recognition and compensation for their scholastic efforts. Chancellor Robert Hemenway was also in attendance to honor the men's achievements. At an awards ceremony during its chapter meeting last night, the group received a plaque for the highest fraternity grade point average for Fall 2002 and individual scholarships from its Alumni Corporation/ Housing Board. He also noted the importance of setting and achieving goals as a group. Before the awards were given, Hemenway said the fraternity community was a great environment for learning, where people were dedicated to helping each other and living together, and Theta Chi represented what fraternity and sorority life was about. The organization had an overall GPA of 3.2. The group has received this award for two consecutive semesters. Joe Aaker, Theta Chi president and Spearfish, S.D., junior, said the group accomplished this goal by making sure older members continued to do well and helping younger members make the transition to college. "We really try to help out our younger members by pairing them up with older members in their major, and making sure they are doing well," he said. "We really try to help out our younger members by pairing them up with older members in their major, and making sure they are doing well." Joe Aaker Theta Chi president and Spearfish, S.D. junior Fifty of the 86 members also received scholarships for their personal GPAs. The men needed to be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours and have a 3.0 or higher GPA to qualify for the scholarships. The scholarships totaling $5,500 were divided into five tiers based on GPAs from 4.0 to 3.0. The scholarship amounts were decided on a graduated scale set up by the Theta Chi Alumni Corporation/ Housing Board. The board consists of seven alumni who oversee the operation of the chapter. Last semester, board member Bruce Weldon said they would double the scholarships if they received the overall award again because of its difficulty. "We just figured it was a one-time thing," said Weldon. The members said they appreciated the effort their alumni had put forth to help them. - Edited by Andrew Ward 54th Annual Principal-Counselor-Student Conference Wednesday, March 26, 2003 Kansas Union Room Schedule for Student Conferences 1:30-2:30 p.m. Room Guide Rooms in the Kansas Union B = Ballroom - Level 5 12 = Big 12 Room - Level 5 Jayhawk Room - Level 5 Kansas Room - Level 5 Parlors - Level 5 Pine Room - Level 6 University of Kansas KU Jay hawks IS YOUR SCHOOL LISTED BELOW?

Student Senate is in an unenviable position. Students at the University of Kansas are remarkable for their apathy to their own legislature. In return, the candidates should be content to allow us to listen to our sociology lectures in their entire uninterrupted splendor. Student Senate is important—it does in fact control a vast pool of funds and makes decisions that affect all of us. Get out there and learn about the coalitions on your own. business Matt Pirotte for the editorial board A bill was defeated that would have allowed professors to make the decision on an individual basis. This is a good thing—we need to keep campaigns out of the classroom. It was also suggested that candidates campaign "outside the door of the classroom." Refer to previous statement about the annoyance factor. When those Godless commies drop the bomb, hide under your desk! It'll save you from the radiation! 2003 When those terrorists attack us, Duck tape the doors! It'll keep the radiation out of your house. The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same RERUNS OF OUR LIVES No better evidence can be found than the recent full-page ads in The University Daily Kansas by the Senate administration extolling its own utility. True, but they would probably be more destructive to the cause of the parties than beneficial. Senators' speeches should stay out of class Let's not forget the annoyance issue here. Who wants to drag themselves into an 8:30 class after a long night and listen to a chipper Senate candidate talk about the Multicultural Resource Center? Some in the Senate object to the classroom ban. They say in class speeches will help them reach a greater number of people. Education is the essential function of the University. For most people on campus, student government is peripheral to that. Bringing the Senate campaigns into classrooms is an encroachment upon this basic educational role. Campaigning wastes students' time and therefore their money. However, the classroom is not the place to try to drum up support. $ \textcircled{c} $ Mulka+Elmore, 2003 PERSPECTIVE Hard travel, lessons learned during adventures in Europe Editor's note: Stauffer writes a biweekly column about her experiences studying abroad. She is participating in the Humanities and Western Civilization program in Florence, Italy, and Paris. COMMENTARY 10 As spring break in Barcelona with my mom wound to a close, we boarded an overnight sleeper train that would take us to Paris, where my classes would resume. Louise Stauffer opinion@kansan.com After four days of nonstop sightseeing like only a mom knows how to stand, I creaked open the door to our second class cabin and found it to be the size of a sleeper sofa, folded up. We were to be sharing it with two other women, and then I saw something that made my skin crawl: a baby bottle (enter Beethoven's Fifth). So, there were five of us. Highlight one: After eight hours on a train, Mom and I arrive in Nice, and lug After we had exchanged as much small talk as we could between French, Spanish and English speakers, we folded out our beds and turned out the lights. As we hurdled toward Paris in the wee hours, I felt a smile creep across my face, despite the baby's cries. I remembered some highlights and lessons learned from spring break with Mom. Highlight two: Once in Barcelona, we have a nice dinner with actual tablecloths and flatware. I order prawns and get four banana-sized ones, with the little legs and eyes still there. This would be ok, except my friend Lindsay told me the other day that "Shrimp are the rats of the our diva-sized luggage out to a taxi stand, drooling over the thought of our hotel. After staring blankly at the 20 empty cabs for a half hour, some nice girl tells us they are on strike for the whole weekend. It is Carnavale, and we join the parade accidentally while searching for the place. It is raining, our faces are covered in silly string, and everyone wants to kill me because my suitcase is running over their toes. Lesson learned: Don't pack anything more than underwear, socks and a toothbrush if you want to travel in Europe. sea, Louise." I can't break the little legs off and end up turning green. The lady at the next table chastises me for my hesitation, and I want to throw the shrimps' eyeballs at her. Lesson learned: Ask if eyeballs come with the meal. Highlight three: As Mom and I search all morning for a travel agency to buy train tickets, we finally spot an office with pictures of exotic islands and forests in the window. Overjoyed, we burst in and explain exactly what ticket package we want, and I am so proud to be using my Spanish. The man just stares. When he can get a word in edgewise he says, "Ladies, we move things, not people." He then points to the model moving trucks around the room. Oops. Neil Mutka and Emily Elmore for The University Daily Kansai. The smile stayed with me as I thought how lucky this baby girl inches away from me would be if, when she is my age, she gets to experience traveling with her mom too. Lesson learned: Don't be blind out of desperation. As she quieted down in her mom's arms, I whispered to my mom, "Thanks." It wasn't for the hotel rooms or the nice meals, but for the adventures.

PERSPECTIVE 'Freedom fries' trend represents American patriotism gone awry Editor's note: Ali Cullerton writes a bi-weekly column about her experiences while studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. Instead of excluding the artery-clogging munchies from the menu, however, their name has been cleverly changed to "freedom fries." A shiny sign sits in the window of Cubbies Restaurant reassuring its customers that the reason they serve these "freedom fries" is to show support for our troops. A few restaurants on the east coast that have stopped selling French fries. Apparently, this move is a grand leap regarding the patriotism of our country. With every greasy bite of nutritiously lacking snacks, we too can support our country. Forget voting, educating ourselves, or independent media. It's as easy as eating, and we all know Americans are good at doing that. Perhaps this decision was influenced by the renaming of foods such as sauerkraut and frankfurters after World War I because of anti-German feelings at the time. Because France is choosing to The difference between these two countries and our relationship with them, whether it be present or decades old, is tremendous. It's a difference between opting to remain a peaceful nation and dominating countries for power. In short, the comparison is obscure. remain neutral in this war, anti-French sentiment is now polluting our country instead. The trend of "freedom fries" is spreading as quickly as J-Lo jumpsuits. After Neal Rowland started serving freedom fries at Cubbies Restaurant in Beaufort, N.C., many owners across the nation have done the same. country making vital steps in becoming whole. Being the outstanding citizens that we are, next time a visit to McDonald's is made and our No.3 comes with large "freedom fries," we can leave feeling good about ourselves. So that's it kids, we can pat ourselves on the back and return to our reality television shows, because we are a strong One man from West Palm Beach, Fla., Burt Aaronson, has made the change despite his anti-war stance. This idea of patriotism has even caused county commissioner Bob Weisman to bring up the resolution to officially change the name of all French fries to "freedom fries." The final tolls will be out this month. It is easy to forget that McDonald's is a terrible corporation with too much control for a fast food chain, when even they are supporting our troops. Supporting our troops and supporting the war are two different sentiments. While I am wholeheartedly anti-war, I cannot claim that I don't support our troops. The distinguishing line, however, is presently non-existent. It is important to recognize the pathetic attempts our country is making to reassure us that we are one nation under President Bush and are happy and whole. So, be a good American and eat up. Now, aside from having to live up to being the most obese nation, we have to dislike the French as well. Long live "freedom fries!" ■ Cullerton is a Naperville, Ill., junior in creative writing.

TUESDAY,MARCH 25,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A Roberts predicts war victory The Associated Press TOPEKA — Coalition military forces will find weapons of mass destruction and win the war in Iraq, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee predicted yesterday. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said that as troops continued their advance toward Baghdad they would find chemical and biological weapons that Saddam Hussein had long denied he possessed. Roberts said it served no purpose to use the discovery to show up French and German opposition to the war. "We're not going to rub their noses in it," Roberts said. "You just hope over time the problems will pass." He was in Kansas for a series of meetings and to present the bronze star to Thomas Martin of Tecumseh, a World War II veteran who served in Europe. Roberts said many of Saddam's chemical and biological weapons have been placed underground and are "highly mobile labs" that were developed following the end of weapons inspections that lapsed for five years in the late 1990s. As the war moves closer to Baghdad, Roberts said the nation should be prepared for casualties and prisoners, a consequence of being at war. "I don't want war. I don't think anyone wants war," he said. "But we are already at war." He warned Iraq to comply with international treaties in taking care of coalition prisoners, including Pfc. Patrick Miller of Park City. "The news involving his treatment at the hands of the Iraqi government is very disturbing," Roberts said. "It is a clear violation of the Geneva Convention." Roberts said the war against terrorist organizations and Iraq were part of the larger effort to make the nation and the world safe. He added the United States had the authority to remove the Iraqi regime following a 1998 Senate resolution given to President Clinton. Further, he said, countless U.N. resolutions following the end of the 1991 war have been ignored. When the war is over, French, German and United Nations support for the reconstruction will be necessary and expected, Roberts said. However, despite success in humanitarian and peacekeeping, the world body is facing a critical time. He did not think that Americans would lose their resolve to wage war based on the television coverage from the hundreds of journalists embedded with coalition forces. He said despite the 28 million leaflets dropped over Iraq telling soldiers how to surrender, it is evident that Saddam's troops will resort to ambush tactics. Roberts said coalition forces will adjust accordingly. Roberts said intelligence agencies monitoring terrorist cells have reported conversations have taken a tone of "despair and lament because they know we are gaining the upper hand." He based that assessment on the efforts in Iraq and coalition raids in Afghanistan and Pakistan in recent days. The Associated Press VALLEY CENTER — Folks here were making yellow ribbons yesterday as news that one of their own has been captured by the Iraqis spread in this small south-central town of 5.000 people nine miles north of Wichita. POW's hometown prays, grieves Friends and neighbors of 23 year-old Pfc. Patrick Miller also came together for prayer. Miller graduated from Valley Center High School in 1998. His wife, Jessa, and their two children — 4-year-old Tyler and 7-month-old Makenzie — moved from Texas, where he was based, to nearby Park City to be closer to family when he was sent overseas in December. Rev. Ron Pracht, minister of Olivet Southern Baptist Church in Wichita, married the couple shortly before his deployment. Jessa Miller has been in seclusion since news arrived of her husband's capture, he said. "They were really committed to making the marriage work and were hoping his career in the military would provide some stability" Pracht said. At the First United Methodist Church in Valley Center, the site of a planned community-wide prayer service, people volunteered to make yellow ribbons. "Regardless of where you stand on all this — we have to support our troops," said Michele Ellington, church secretary. The soldier's half brother, Thomas Hershberger, 27, of Derby, said he wants the United States to finish the war "as fast as possible" so his brother can come home. "She is not doing the best right now," Hershberger said of his mother, Mary Pickering, who now lives in New Mexico. "I haven't had a conversation with her without her crying." The video footage aired on Iraqi TV showed Miller answering questions in a shaky voice, his eyes darting back and forth between an interviewer and "Regardless of where you stand on all this — we have to support our troops." Michele Ellington Olivet Southern Baptist Church secretary another person who couldn't be seen on camera. Asked why he came to Iraq, he replied, "I come to fix broke stuff." Asked if he came to shoot Iraqis, he answered, "No, I come to shoot only if I am shot at. They don't bother me, I don't bother them." That sounded like something his brother would say, Hershberger said. "He is kind of cocky — he didn't act scared at all," Hershberger said.

An early look at the magnetic tape from the space shuttle Columbia's salvaged data recorder offered hope that it was in good enough shape to yield some information about the doomed flight, NASA said yesterday. Discovered in east Texas on Wednesday, the recorder and its 9,400 feet of tape is stretched and broken in one spot but otherwise in good condition, said NASA spokesman James Hartside. "Right now, the potential for The recorder—potentially the most significant piece of debris found yet—is in the laboratory of a Minnesota company that specializes in magnetic data storage, and its tape is being painstakingly cleaned. there to be data available to us looks promising," he said. NASA believes the tape stopped recording about the time the shuttle broke apart above Texas on Feb. 1, killing all seven astronauts. It had recorded Columbia's launch 16 days earlier and was activated again for the start of descent. The recorder was collecting data from about 800 sensors on the fuselage, wings, tall and engines, and measuring temperature, pressure, strain, vibration, acoustics and acceleration. Harrisfield said. The accident investigation board suspects Columbia's left wing was breached, possibly by flyaway foam insulation or other fuel-tank debris during liftoff, and that the scorching gases of atmospheric en-entry burned through wiring in the wing and penetrated the left landing gear compartment. Late Friday night, NASA shipped the recorder to Innaion Corp. in Oakdale, Minn., a leading manufacturer of data storage tape with 50 years of experience/ "The majority of tape on the take-up reel appears in very good shape" he said. "They're just starting to work with it now, but I can tell you that there's optimism from the visible appearance." Once the tape is cleaned and stabilized by Inimation, it will be sent to Kennedy Space Center where the playback and dubbing equipment is located. The dubbed tapes subsequently will be sent to Johnson Space Center in Houston for analysis. So far, about 45,000 pieces of shuttle wreckage have been found and shipped to Kennedy. That represents about 54,000 pounds, or 24 percent of the weight of the descending shuttle. The investigation board will be in Cape Canaveral this week for its third round of public hearings. Kennedy officials will discuss the collection and layout of Columbia debris at the space center. 'Chicago' spurs musical trend The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Now that Chicago has been crowned with the best picture Oscar and continues to draw drowses to theaters, Hollywood stars and producers say they are eager to revive the long-dormant musical. Many argued, however, that new projects should be chosen carefully, lest movegoers grow fatigued of the genre again. The path to victory for Chicago was cleared last year by Baz Luhrmann's frenetic popsong romance Moulin Rouge, which brought the musical back into style with critics and became the first live-action musical to earn a best-picture Oscar nomination in 22 years. The last musical to win was 1968's Oliver! Martin Richards, who co-produced the original Broadway version of Chicago and spent more than 28 years trying to bring it to the screen, said his Oscar gives new momentum to other film musical aspirations. Among his dream projects is Sweeney Todd, the Stephen Sondheim musical thriller about the murderous "demon barber of Fleet Street," a Victorian era barber who slits the throats of his London customers while his partner in crime disposes of the bodies by baking them into her meat pies. But Richards warned that Hollywood shouldn't dilute the public's newfound enthusiasm for musicals by flooding cineplexes with hackneyed song and dance. Richards' other interest is an adaptation of the stage show *The Life*, about gritty happenings in New York's Times Square. "I just hope that they don't do one musical after another just because it's the flavor of the week," he said. Besides its six Oscars Chicago is likely to motivate studios with its box-office success, having collected about $134 million. Catherine Zeta-Jones, who won a supporting actress Oscar for her role in Chicago as a jazz star who fears losing her lame more than facing a murder charge, said she'd love to do it again but echecd Richards' plea for restraint. "Let's not have one every other month, but I would love to do another one just to have the ball I did on this movie," she said. Clint Eastwood's *Unglforgiven* revived the Western in 1992 and went on to win the best picture Academy Award. It was followed by Gerionto "An American Legend," and Tombstone (both 1993) until low-grade follow-ups such as *Bad Girls* (1994) and *Pusse* (1993) turned audiences off the genre again. Elliot Goldenthal, who won best score on Sunday for his work on Frida, said the entertainment industry should focus on developing original projects instead of reviving old stage musicals or having stars sing pop tunes in films. Miramax Pictures, which produced Chicago, is now close to a deal to make a movie out of the gangster song-and-dance play Guys and Dolls and the company also owns the rights to Broadway's Rent, spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said. "Basically, Moulin Rouge played a critical role reacquaint audiences with the movie musical," he said. "Chicago built on that success and the best-picture Oscar will serve as a seal of approval for even more younger audiences to see the films." Civil disobedience leads to arrests From San Francisco to Hartford, Conn., people balk at Bush The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Anti-war activists returned to federal buildings and campuses across the nation yesterday, resulting in more arrests but no reports of violence. At the same time, there were reports of grass-roots groups forming in small towns to show support for the troops, and counter-demonstrators made sure they were heard during anti-war events. transmetrica rymanic building and at the federal building for refusal to disburse, police said. In the fifth day of protests for San Francisco, 123 people were arrested at the city's famed At least 50 people were arrested in Hartford, Conn., after blocking the entrances to the William R. Cotter Federal Building while calling for an end to the war in Iraq. About 100 people attended the rally, saying they chose the building because it houses offices of the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration. "We're demonstrating to show the connection between money for taxes and Social Security vs. money for war," said Derek Wright, 23. Hartford after they staged a "dien" in the lobby, slumping to the floor and pouring buckets of red dye on themselves. Another 14 people were arrested at the headquarters of defense contractor United Technologies Corp. in downtown At the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, a few hundred people rallied against the war, saying they would continue although some accused them of being unpatriotic. One carried a sign that read, "Stop mad cowboy disease." "I look out here today, and I see all of America out here," said Erika Zurawski, a sophomore. "I see every class, race and gender . . . so, Mr Bush, welcome to America." About 50 counter-protesters make to their own chant heard: "One, two, three, four, we don't want Saddam no more!" One of them said it was important for troops to hear support. Women,men equal in status,not salary The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Women hold nearly half the executive and managerial jobs in the United States, but they fall short of men at the top rungs of the salary ladder. Nearly 46 percent of management positions were filled by women in 2002, the Census Bureau reported yesterday, up from only about a third in 1983 but virtually unchanged from the record high set in 2001. Almost 16 percent of men working full-time earned at least $75,000 a year, compared with 6 percent of women. And 20 percent of men made between $50,000 and $75,000, compared to 12 percent of women, according to a bureau survey taken in March 2002. "In my lifetime, there will still be a wage gap," said Betty Spence, president of the National Association of Female Executives. "It's up to women in senior positions to bring other women up, or else it's not going to happen." Some women have scaled back careers to raise children, but discrimination also is partly to blame for the salary disparities, said Amy Cainzza of the Institute for Women's Policy Research. It may also be because of the kind of management positions women hold that has led to the gap at the highest income brackets. Men still dominate the corporate boardrooms and the jobs that earn a six-figure salary, while the inroads women are making in supervisory posts may be concentrated more in lesser-paying lower- and mid-management positions, Cauzza said. Caliazza said the government could do more to encourage gender equity. "There's a point at which we have to be more serious about enforcing equal opportunity and anti-discrimination laws," she said. Overall, there are slightly more women than men in the United States _ women made up 51 percent of the country's 282.2 million people in March 2002. Men outnumber women in the work force 53-47 percent. Nearly one-quarter of the 63.6 million employed women age 16 and older in 2002 worked in administrative or clerical positions, larger than any other field. Another 19 percent of women worked in professional specialty fields, which includes engineering, doctors and teachers. The next two most popular areas for women were service-related jobs and management and executive positions. When the economy was booming in the late 1990s, more companies sought to entice women by offering flexible schedules that would allow them to spend more time at home with children. But with the economy slipping and unemployment rising, employers aren't being as flexible. That may be hindering many women from advancing in the workplace, said Kirsten Ross, founder of Womans-Work LLC, which helps women find alternative arrangements to balance job responsibilities with family. "The women of the generation before us, their fight was to get in the boardroom. Now for this generation of women, their fight is to gain more flexibility." Ross said. A separate Census Bureau report last week showed that earning levels for women are at record highs, with those holding college diplomas especially benefiting. The number of women with at least a bachelor's degree is also at a record high. Last September, the bureau also reported that median earnings for women who worked full-time rose 3.5 percent to $29.215, compared with $38.275 for men.

LAWRENCE TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7A Bush to ask Congress for $75 billion The Associated Press WASHINGTON - President Bush is expected to ask Congress for $74.7 billion to pay for the war with Iraq, assuming a month of combat, and for strengthening counterterrorism efforts at home, lawmakers and aides said yesterday. The money measure, which the president planned to describe to congressional leaders he invited to the White House, was dominated by $62.6 billion for the Department of Defense. It presumed the military effort to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein would take 50 days, aides said. The request was also expected to include $4.2 billion for domestic security, chiefly for police and other so-called first responders. And it was to contain $7.8 billion for aid to Israel, Afghanistan and other U.S. allies, a down payment on humanitarian aid for Iraq and for rebuilding the country, and money to increase security for American diplomats. At yesterday's meeting, Bush was expected to ask congressional leaders to send him a completed version of the bill by April 11, when lawmakers are to begin their Easter recess. He is expected to send his recommendations to Capitol Hill today. Though lawmakers are eager to demonstrate their support for U.S. troops, Democrats and many Republicans are expected to have problems with parts of the proposal. Of the $62.6 billion for the Defense Department, the administration is proposing setting aside $39.9 billion in an emergency reserve fund that the Pentagon could largely spend with limited input from Congress, said Democrats who said they were familiar with a preliminary version of the proposal. "We need to provide every single dime the troops need, but I do think we need to know where it's going and for what purpose," said Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin, top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee. Obey said that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld "wasn't appointed to be the U.S. Congress with the power of the purse. ... We're supposed to know what we're doing before we open the purse strings." Democrats were also expected to complain that Bush's request had only $543 million in humanitarian aid for Iraq, $1.7 billion to rebuild the country and nothing for a peacekeeping effort after the war. Prior congressional and private estimates suggested the longrange expenses for those efforts would be many billions of dollars, though administration officials are hoping allied nations will help with the financing. Democrats said they were also unhappy that the measure lacked additional money for other domestic programs such as tightening security at U.S. ports, borders, dams and facilities that generate radioactive materials. Bush was preparing to send the Republican-controlled Congress his request just as lawmakers write a $2.2 trillion budget for 2004. The House and Senate ver "We need to provide every single dime the troops need, but I do think we need to know where it's going and for what purpose." David Obey Wisconsin rep. and top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee David Obey sions both excluded any funds for a war, though Senate Democrats last week — with support from three Republicans — added $100 billion for the war in their chamber's version, taking the money from Bush's tax cut. Democrats have complained repeatedly that the fiscal framework — which controls new tax cuts proposed by Bush — cannot be written without knowing what the war will cost. Some Democrats believe that information might undercut support for Bush's proposed tax reductions. The administration had refused to provide its war estimate until now, arguing that there were too many uncertainties on the battlefield. The requested defense funds will include $10.4 billion for the call-up of Reserves and National Guard troops and extra salary paid to troops in combat. It will include money for troops searching for terrorists in Afghanistan, the Philippines and elsewhere, one congressional aide speaking on condition of anonymity. tions and maintenance, and $6.5 billion for new munitions and for research and development. Also included for the Pentagon will be $44.6 billion for opera- Foreign aid will include $1 billion for grants and for federal backing of up to $9 billion in guaranteed loans for Israel; $1.1 billion for Jordan; less than $1 billion for Egypt and other funds for countries including Oman and Bahrain. Afghanistan would get $400 million for humanitarian aid and economic development. The measure will also contain $1 billion for Turkey. That country has balked at letting the United States base troops there for an invasion of Iraq from the north, but has allowed some U.S. use of its air space. The request will also include $500 million to improve the FBI's domestic counterterrorism efforts, and about the same amount for the Coast Guard, which has some ships in the Persian Gulf region. There is also $250 million for a fund the president can use to prevent and respond to terrorist activities, and $125 million for Congress to continue its operations in an emergency affecting the Capitol. So far, the administration has decided to exclude aid for U.S. airlines, which have been lobbying Congress for assistance to help make up for business lost because of terrorism and the war with Iraq. Among the chief proponents of such assistance has been House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III., whose state is home to financially troubled United Airlines. Anti-war voices decry America The Associated Press FRANKFURT, Germany Anti-war demonstrators clashed with police outside the U.S. consulate in Hamburg and peace rallies emptied schools across Italy yesterday in a fresh swell of protests against the war in Iraq. Protesters found varying ways of making themselves heard. In Bahrain, a propane gas tank exploded outside a U.S. Navy base and a senior U.S. military official said it was ignited by protesters. The blast shattered windows but injured no one. In Australia, Prime Minister John Howard was heckled in parliament by activists opposed to his support for the war. Hamburg police turned water cannons on protesters, including middle and high school students, outside the U.S. consulate in the northern German port city. Police said a group of Palestinians and Kurds armed with wooden sticks, stones and bottles joined about 8,000 students who had been protesting peacefully outside the building and began attacking officers. Police arrested 21 protesters; several protesters and three officers were injured. An estimated 40,000 demonstrators shouting "Death to Bush, Victory for Saddam," marched to the U.S. Embassy in the West African nation of Mauritania. Some demonstrators carried photos of Saddam Hussein, while others wrapped themselves in Iraq's flag. In Italy, thousands of teachers and students took the day off to march peacefully through Rome, Milan, Turin, Venice, Bologna, Naples and Palermo. An estimated 25,000 protesters joined in a peace march last night through the streets of Leipzig, Germany, following the route used by demonstrators who helped cause the collapse of the former East Germany in 1989. A similar demonstration in Berlin attracted hundreds of protesters who marched peacefully from the Brandenburg gate to the U.S. Embassy. Demonstrations in Australia, Thailand, Indonesia and Bangladesh were smaller and less intense than previous protests, but activists across Asia said a new wave of rallies was being planned. "Hatred against America is increasing," said Shahid Shamsi, spokesman for the United Action Forum, a hardline Islamic group in Pakistan, where an estimated 100,000 people marched through the city of Lahore on Sunday. U.S. troops close in on Baghdad, resistance halts key captures The Associated Press Five days into Operation Iraqi Freedom, fierce resistance prevented American and British forces from securing the southern cities of Basra and An Nasiriyah U. S.-led warplanes and helicopters attacked Republican Guard units defending Baghdad yesterday while ground troops advanced to within 50 miles of the Iraqi capital. White House aides said a down payment on war-related costs would come to $75 billion. and thwarted efforts to extinguish burning oil wells. "These things are never easy," British Prime Minister Tony Blair conceded yesterday, the day his country suffered its first combat casualty of the war. Iraq claimed custody, as well, of two American pilots after a helicopter went down, in addition to a handful of POWs taken over the weekend. Saddam sought to rally his own country in a televised appearance. Despite Saddam's defiant pose, a military barracks in the northern part of the country was bombed, and Baghdad fell under renewed air attack by day and by night. Iraqis set up mortar positions south of the city and piled sandbags around government buildings and other strategic locations, in evident anticipation of a battle to come. "Coalition forces are closing in on Baghdad," Maj. Gen. Stanley McChrystal told reporters at the Pentagon. He said U.S. Apache helicopters attacked Saddam's Republican Guard forces arrayed around Baghdad, while another official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a "large portion" of the day's bombing runs were dedicated to hitting the same units. Asked about ground forces, McChrystal said, "We have not gotten into direct firefights with Republican Guard forces." That seemed a matter of not much time, though. The Army's 3rd Infantry Division was within 50 miles of the capital, battling sandstorms more than Iraqi fire as it neared the approaches to Baghdad. Some Iraqis waved or gave a thumbs-up as the convoy passed on its dash through southern Iraq, while others stood stoically. The advance of long columns of thousands of vehicles was aided by heavy air protection that wiped out a column of Iraqi armor at one point and sent some of Saddam's outer defenses withdrawing toward the capital. The convoy passed bombed anti-aircraft guns, empty foxholes and berms dug for tanks that had been abandoned. Bush also talked with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone. Spokesman Ari Fleischer said the president expressed concern about reports that Russia was selling anti-tank guided missiles, jamming devices and nightvision goggles to Baghdad. In the world's first war to be covered live on television, the news and images of American and British setbacks competed with pictures of battlefield successes. Saddam Hussein address Iraqis, rallies troops to strike enemy fighters The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq - With U.S.-led forces closing in on Baghdad, a composed Saddam Hussein tried to rally his people and his troops with a stirring address yesterday in which he vowed that allied forces would be crushed and "victory will be ours soon." In Washington, a senior U.S. "Those who are believers will be victorious." Saddam Hussein President of Iraq official speaking on condition of anonymity said U.S. intelligence had determined that Saddam's speech was recorded. However, it is unclear when it was taped — hours or weeks before the strikes The Iraqi president appeared in full military uniform and seemed more robust and relaxed than during his last nationally televised address on Thursday, which followed the first round of cruise missile attacks on his capital. There had been unconfirmed reports that he was killed or injured in those attacks. "Iraq will strike the necks (of each enemy fighter)," he said. Taunting the allies, he asked. "Have you found what the devil that besetts your soul promised you in Iraq?" Saddam urged loyal Iraqis to cut the throats of the invaders and insisted that Iraqi troops would prevail in the fight against a more technologically advanced enemy. He also made specific reference to U.S. tactics and the fighting around Umm Qasr, in an obvious attempt to show that the address was relatively current. "Those who are believers will be victorious. In these decisive days, the enemy tried not using missiles and fighter jets as they did before. This time, they sent their infantry troops. This time, they have come to invade and occupy your land," he said. American officials said nothing in yesterday's speech proved it had been made since the beginning of hostilities. The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, described a growing suspicion within U.S. intelligence agencies that Saddam had prerecorded several messages to air during the fighting. They said Saddam would have to make a specific reference to a recent event to prove he's alive. MARCH 25th... LIBERTY HALL LAWRENCE, KANSAS THE INFAMOUS DJ BATTLE. JJHX WAX CLASH Breakdancers.

KU is truly a leadership campus in terms of demonstrating support for U.S. / Israel relationship." Block said. "AIPAC is pleased to have such a distinguished delegation of KU students joining us for this important conference in Washington." New art supply store to offer a 'green paradise' Block said Khayet was a national point of contact for students who have questions or need guidance in advocacy, political activism and building relationships with other student political leaders. "By the speakers, workshops and seminars we will be able to learn about a lot of different perspectives." Hopkins said. "Obviously it will be a little biased because it is a pro-Israel conference but we will be able to bring back helpful information to KU." The three KU Israel Alliance members will pay their way to the conference. The conference will begin Sunday and end Tuesday. Students interested in participating in the KU Israel Alliance organization can e-mail Khayet at ruskyleo@ku.edu. Edited by Jason Elliott By Nicole Roche nroche@kansan.com Kansan staff writer. The vacancy at 15 E.8th St. has housed countless businesses from clothing shops to photo galleries, many lasting for mere months. But Bailey Kivett and Jill Kleinhans plan to maintain this downtown location for quite some time. Kivett and Kleinhans will premiere The Olive, a gallery and art supply store, in a grand opening ceremony from 5 to 10 p.m. April 5. Kleinhans, an Emporia senior, said both women envisioned a contemporary art gallery that would cut through the elitism of most galleries. "We want your average Joe to walk in and discover the world of art," Kleinhans said. The Olive will also sell art supplies and functional art, such as jewelry and purses, designed by local artists. Kivett, a Halstead senior, said being an art student was frustrating because art supply stores in Lawrence were pricey and understocked. "I've spent plenty of hours driving to K.C. so I wouldn't have to spend as much," Kivett said. Kivett and Kleinhans discussed opening the store in 1999 when Kivett was Kleinhans' resident assistant in McCollum Hall The dream became reality when Kivett's high school painting teacher, Gene Marsh of Halstead, agreed to be the women's "angel" investor who would fund the business, Kleinhans said. Marsh, a self-proclaimed feminist, said women often faced adversity. Funding this project was his way of helping Kivett and Kleinhans realize their dreams he said. Although he's technically a third partner, Marsh said he allowed the younger partners to have creative control. "They ask me for advice," he said, "But basically I told them this is their baby, and they need to make the day-to-day decisions." Marsh once opened a gallery in New Mexico. He said he was eager to be involved in another art-based business, but would not disclose how much money he had given to The Olive. Kivett and Kleinhans have talked to art professors at the University of Kansas about obtaining a supply list for introductory art classes. Many professors agreed that prepared supply kits would be a good idea, Kleinhans said. "It will be one-stop shopping for freshmen," Kleinhans said. "Something to get your art box going." Emily Homer, Overland Park Junior, said she typically spent $400 a semester on art supplies for classes and projects. "At the beginning of the semester, people buy books," she said. "I buy art supplies." Homer said that Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St., was one of the only places students could get certain art supplies in town. Hobby Lobby is not open on Sundays, which often leads to snags with last-minute projects, she said. Kleinhans said The Olive would be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day of the week Providing accessible and affordable art supplies is one of The Olive's goals, Kivett said. "We can charge cheaper prices because our goal is not to bring in all kinds of money." Kivett said. "We're going to continue to eat Ramen noodles — we're still going to live as students." Intense preparation is being put into the business as the opening date approaches. Kivett said she and Kleinhans were painting, revamping furniture and accenting the building with artwork. The walls are illuminated with a light olive-green finish. "It's like a green paradise," Kivett said. "It's definitely going to be something to see." QUARING SHOW... OLIVE GALLERY & A SUPPEN Edited by Lindsay Hanson Five illegal immigrants die near Mexico border RAYMONDVILLE. Texas Five illegal immigrants sleeping in a sugar cane field near the U.S.-Mexico border were killed yesterday when a fire swept through, authorities said. One person was in critical condition. The field was set on fire about 10:30 a.m.yesterday as part of the harvesting process, Willacy County Sheriff Larry Spence said. Minutes after the field had been lit,a man ran out yelling The fields are burned every spring to clear away weeds and undergrowth so the cane stalks can be harvested. that he was on fire and that there were five more people in the field, Spence said. Three bodies were found burned. Autopsies will be ordered, but it appeared the men died of asphyxiation, said Justice of the Peace Sabas Garza. A man and woman were taken by ambulance to a hospital, where they died. Spence said a sixth man was taken by medical helicopter to a burn center in Dallas; a hospital spokesman said the patient was in critical condition, but he had no further details. Spence said it was believed the group was sleeping in the field when the fire was set. The Associated Press Miss Massachusetts crowned Miss USA The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — Miss Massachusetts Susie Castillo was crowned Miss USA 2003 in the 52nd annual staging of the pageant yesterday night. Castillo, 25, of Lawrence, Mass., replaces Shauntay Hinton, who represented the District of Columbia in last year's event. Castillo, an office manager and model, will be America's candidate in the Miss Universe pageant in June in Panama City. Panama Affluent Spanish speaker with Puerto Rican roots, Castillo said she would use her crown to try to raise the stature of the nation's Hispanic population. "Hopefully I can erase some stereotypes about Latinos — that they're not all housekeepers, drug dealers or hoodlums in the ghetto," she said. "Maybe there are some roles out there for a queen." Michelle Arnette, Miss Alabama, was first runner-up and home state favorite Nicole O'Brian of Texas was second runner-up. The 51 contestants were trimmed down in advance to 10 semifinalists for Monday's evening gown and swimsuit competitions, but the results were not made public until the national broadcast on NBC. The five finalists were asked questions written earlier by their fellow finalists. O'Brian's question was whether celebrities should use their status to speak out against the Iraq war. "I don't think it's good for them to go against the president and the war," she replied. This was the first year that the Miss USA was seen on NBC after the end of a long association with CBS. The pageant is now co-owned by NBC and Donald J. Trump, who was in San Antonio for the ceremony. The winner's package includes extensive travel opportunities, a $20,000 wardrobe, a soap opera appearance and $45,000 scholarship to the School for Film and Television in New York.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Duke, Kansas share sparse similarities this season Last season, the dream matchup nearly every college basketball fan yearned for in the national championship game was Kansas and Duke. Both teams were shining examples of what an elite college basketball team should look like. Both teams boasted a triumvirate of juniors destined to cash in at the next level along with youth and consistency in their supporting casts. However, both teams fell short of their potential when push came to shove. Now, a year later, the teams could not be more opposite. Kansas is led by two seniors on a mission to finish where they left off last season, and at the same time had to continue to help bring along one of the nation's top sophomore classes. Duke has seen all three of its big-time juniors from a year ago opt for NBA signing bonus and is left in the hands of an inexperienced, yet potentially top-notch core of McDonald's High School All-Americans. When you think of Duke basketball, the mystique is always present. You think of great senior leaders like Christian Laetner, Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill, Shane Battier and Steve Wojciechowski The way Duke draws the nation's top recruits every year always seems almost unfair. They have basically become the New York Yankees of college basketball. This year's Duke team, however, has not been the media darlings that former teams have been. The big-name stars are not there, and they are for the most part a collaborative bunch of youngsters learning from each other how to play as a team. Usually, you know what you will get from Duke, but that is not the case this year. For those of you not familiar with this year's installment of Duke Basketball, here are five things to know about the Blue Devils before tuning in Thursday night. 1) Don't think Nick Collison can easily have a field day in the paint. The road to Oklahoma 100 Carlos Boozer may be gone, but Duke can still bang in the paint with the best of them. The biggest challenge will come from 6-foot-11 senior Casey Sanders, who is mainly a defensive menace. Sanders had two blocked shots in just 11 minutes of play in Saturday's second round win against Central Michigan. Freshman forward Shelden Williams has also risen from obscurity to a starting role. At 6-foot-8, Williams is a thick bruiser, whose offensive game is still developing. Kansas ultimately has the inside edge, because after Sanders and Williams, there isn't much. Coach Mike Krzzyzewski's only other options are untested freshmen Shavlik Randolph and Michael Thompson. Even though Kansas has a deeper bench, Duke's physical inside play could cause Collison and Graves fits. Kristina Boehm, Olathe senior, practices rolling a ball at the Jaybowl. She has been on the KU bowling team for four years. Boehm started bowling when she was four years old. Anton Bubnovskiy/Kansan Bowling teams qualify for national championships By Chris Wintering cwintering@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Freshman gunner J.J. Redick's first year in a Duke uniform has certainly been a memorable one. Redick is the ultimate system player in Duke's offense. Not only is he quick, but his height (6-foot-4) makes it easier for him to fire away from anywhere on the floor against usually smaller defenders. The bulk of his 14.8 points per game comes from behind the arc, where he shoots an insane 41 percent — Boschee's career best was 41.5 percent his sophomore season. Keith Langford will most likely draw the matchup with Redick, and if Langford gets caught up in the multiple screens the Dukies set for their sharpshooter, it could be a long night. 2) Jeff Boschee's clone resides in Durham, SC For the first time in team history, both the men's and women's bowling teams qualified for the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships. The men's team finished second and the women's team finished third in last weekend Midwestern Sectional in Chesterfield, Mo., which was one of four sectionals held around the country. The sectionals had a total of 64 men's and women's teams from around the country. The top four teams on both the men's and women's side qualified for nationals on April 24 in Tulsa, Okla. The Kansas men's team was seeded 2nd in the sectional and 4th nationally. The women's team was seeded 5th in the sectional and 9th nationally. Kansas coach Mike Fine said this was the step the team needed to become a top tier program. "We've talked for years that we wanted to be one of the elite programs in the country," Fine said. "To do that you have to be able to get both the men's and women's team into nationals. It's something we've worked awfully hard for, for an awfully long time, and we are awfully proud." "We've talked for years that we wanted to be one of the elite programs in the country.It's something we've worked awfully hard for, for an awfully long time, and we are awfully proud." This is the third straight year the men's team has qualified for nationals, and only the second time the women SEE GREENE ON PAGE 3B Mike Fine Bowling coach have qualified, the previous time in 1995. The Kansas men's team, along with Wichita State University, ran away with the competition and easily qualified. "In both the men's and women's competition there were two teams that were way ahead of the field. The real drama came to see was going to be third and fourth." Fine said. Wichita State and Nebraska dominated the women's competition and Kansas, McKendree College and Lindenwood University were all in contention for the final two qualifying positions. "The women have been working so hard," Marc D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y., junior, said. "It is my third year going to nationals and I am happy that the women will get a chance to participate." excited that the women's team also qualified. "After 11,000 pins, 63 games and nine frames, it came down to the 10th frame and the last bowler on each team," Fine said. "When the smoke settled our women finished four pins ahead of Lindenwood and six pins ahead of McKendree." Members of the men's team were "The men are a little more knowledgeable about the lanes and help us. There is little separation between the Kristina Boehm, Olathe senior, said that the men's team often helped the women in practice and tournaments.

If there are any former Jayhawks who we haven't included, email requests to rgreene@kansan.com. Reader requests will continue next Tuesday. Paul Pierce - Boston Celtics Pierce is still struggling to relocate his consistency after some back pain forced him out of action earlier this month. Not only has Pierce's individual performance been up-and-down, but his team's has also. The Celtics ended the week on a four-game losing streak, capped with an embarrassing loss to the lowly Denver Nuggets Saturday night. In BOSTON CELTICS Orlando MVC the 90-80 defeat, Pierce had a season high with nine turnovers, for which his 31 points were not enough to compensate. Boston has now fallen to sixth place in the Eastern conference, and they are just one game ahead of Orlando. the Magic have tailed off as of late, but the team is hotter than ever. Riding a fourgame winning streak, the Magic are moving up in the Gooden's big numbers since joining Drew Gooden - Orlando Magic Eastern conference standings heading towards the postseason. Gooden's only action this week came on Wednesday in a win against Miami, where he only scored seven points. Since then, Gooden has sat two games with a sprained right big toe and his condition is listed as day-to-day. Jacque Vaughn - Orlando Magic Until Sunday, Vaughn had not played much of a role WILDCATS in Orlando's current winning streak. After limited minutes in three straight games, Vaughn had 13 points in 32 minutes in Sunday's win against Miami. Even bigger on Vaughn's stat sheet Sunday were his zero turnovers. Raef LaFrentz - Dallas Mavericks MARBRIECS LaFrentz had a tough week, scoring a total of 20 points in three contests. His highlight was a 10-point performance on Wednesday against Cleveland; his third consecutive double-digit effort. The cure for LaFrentz's woes comes this week against Denver, against whom he has averaged 11.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in three meetings this year. Greg Ostertag - Utah Jazz The Jazz ended the week on a good note with three straight wins. Ostertag played a considerable role in the streak, especially in Wednesday's 99-86 JAZZ win at Phoenix, with 13 points, 14 rebounds and four blocked shots. Scot Pollard - Sacramento Kings For a guy who has missed nearly the entire season due to injuries to his back and hand, Pollard is showing little rust upon his return. In KINGS Tuesday's 117-91 win against Golden State, Pollard had 15 points and 12 rebounds in just 23 minutes off the bench. Danny Manning - Detroit Pistons Manning only saw action in two of the Pistons' four contests this week. His only notable ticks on the stat sheet were three PISTONS points and two rebounds in Sunday's win against Chicago. The Pistons are still in the top spot in the Eastern conference standings going into the season's final few weeks. 9 Noah Graham/NBAE/Getty Images Drew Gooden failed to impress the Memphis Grizzlies who traded him to the Orlando Magic in midseason. Since then he's performed up and down even though the Magic are currently enjoying a four-game winning streak. Note: Former Kansas Guard Billy Thomas, who was a reader's request three weeks ago, had his best week as a professional. Thomas, who plays for the Greenville Groove of the National Basketball Developmental League, was presented with the NBDL Sportsmanship Award before the team's regular season finale against Asheville. Even though the Groove finished at the bottom of the league standings, Thomas' finale was memorable. Thomas scored an NBDL single-game record 49 points, but that was just one of five single-game records he set in the effort. Thomas set records for field goals made with 19, field goals attempted with 29, three-pointers made with 10, and three-pointers attempted with 17. To boot, Thomas' 10 rebounds gave him his first double-double of the season. Swimmer competes nationally By Jason Hwang jhwang@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Amy Gruber competed in the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships on March 20 to 22 in Auburn, Ala. The Kansas sophomore finished in the top 40 in all three of her events: the 50-yard freestyle; 100 freestyle and the 200 freestyle. Gruber "Once I got there, it was really exciting," Gruber said. "I felt really honored to compete against others in the meet, representing my school and team." Gruber Gruber finished 37th in the 50 freestyle. Her time of 23.26 was .30 seconds off her career best. In the 200 freestyle event, the Bigelow, Ark., native captured 29th place after claiming her career best time of 1:48:93. The time is second best in Kansas school history, behind Jennifer Peltier's 1996 mark. Gruber said the atmosphere in the championships was different not because of the magnitude of the event, but because no teammates were present to cheer her on—she was the lone Jayhawk. "My performance was acceptable, but I didn't get the times that I wanted," she said. "It's still a big shock that I am in the top 40." In her final event, Gruber finished the 100 freestyle race in 33rd place at 50.36 seconds, which was .10 seconds off of her career best. "Amy's swim closed out our season of swimming," swimming coach Clark Campbell said. "As a coach, I couldn't be more impressed by the progress this team took over the course of the year." Edited by Erin Chapman X "I knew he had been in the business a long time and he wasn't hurting for players." Kansas forward Nick Collison on his rationale for declining to play for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski 2B = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Inside Sports SPORTS COMMENTARY Joey Berlin jberlin@kansan.com Don't look for patterns in tourney performance For the second straight year, the Kansas men's basketball team scared the living crap out of its fans in the first round of the NCAA tournament, nearly suffering one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. And for the second year in a row, the Jayhawks rebounded in the second round with an astounding victory that reestablished them as a national title contender. So there has to be a pattern here, one that says something about Roy Williams' Jayhawks, right? No. There's no pattern. It's just sports, where the inexplicable can happen, and does on a regular basis. People want everything to happen for a reason, and when their favorite sports team succeeds or fails, they look for an apparent cause. TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2003 If they can't find one, they come up with something spiritual. Like last year, when one of my teachers shrugged off Kansas' near-de defeat to Holy Cross in the first round of the tournament by saying that playing in a tough game "builds character." Uh-huh — just like nearly losing to Notre Dame in the second round last year built character for Duke. The Blue Devils, who were defending national champions at the time, then showed off their newfound toughness by getting eliminated in the next round by heavy underdog Indiana. Sure, Kansas rebounded off the Holy Cross debacle by blasting Stanford 86-63 last year. This year, the Jayhawks put the Utah State game in their rearview mirror by smashing Arizona State 108-76 Saturday. Does this mean our Jayhawkes are a team that actually needs to play poorly, and come close to getting sent home, to play their best later? I doubt it. Early this season, Kansas suffered an embarrassing loss to North Carolina in the Preseason NIT, then "regained their focus" by losing decisively to Florida the next night. Same team, different result. Where's the correlation? That Kansas again played one of its worst games of the season in the first round of the tournament, then played one of its best in the second round, is definitely interesting. A certain bad Canadian pop singer might label it "irician." But does it give us any predictive power about these Jayhawks? Nope, none at all. Berlin is a Leawood senior in journalism. Duke exceeds Kansas in post-season history The Associated Press LAWRENCE — When Kansans are asked to compare their proud basketball program with Duke's, the truth hurts. At least it does for anyone willing to see the truth The Blue Devils, who meet the Jayhawks Thursday night in the NCAA tournament's West regional semifinals, stand taller by almost every measure. Kansas takes a backseat to no one in the their own stomping grounds in the Midwest. The Jayhawks have gone 30-2 the past two seasons in the tough Big 12, which has three teams in the round of 16. They've won the conference championship four times in seven years. But over the years against Duke, they're a paltry 1-6. Kansas coach Roy Williams is flush with success in 15 years, winning more than four of every five games. He won more games in his first 14 years than any other coach in NCAA Division I history. Yet, time after time, he finds himself out-cruised by Duke coach Mike Krzyezewski. Kansas fans are busting their buttons over the fact they've made the NCAA's round of 16 now for the third time in a row. But Duke is there for the sixth straight year. If the second-seeded Jayhawks should beat No. 3 seed Duke Thursday night, it will only be Williams' first victory in four games against the Blue Devils. "I have great respect for Mike and what he's done with his program, and the "They're awfully difficult to recruit against. I can tell you that because we haven't had much success recruiting against them. "Nick Collison is the only player we ever got that they wanted. They've got a lot of the other ones that we wanted." way they've done it, with true student-athletes," said Williams. The 6-foot-9 Collison, voted by Big 12 coaches as the conference player of the year, narrowed his list to Kansas and Duke when he was a highly sought high school senior four years ago. "Recruiting-wise, they do better than anybody else. And they get the most players. I think people see Kansas (as being) close. But (Duke) is probably on top right now in terms of what they've done in the past. What is it? Six straight Sweet 16s? That's pretty impressive." He admits the team he chose is not as highly regarded around the nation as the team he turned down. One reason Collison picked Kansas was geography. It's a lot closer to his Iowa home than North Carolina. "I think it was one of the few times our location was very helpful," Williams said. But another big factor was Williams. "They really presented themselves well," said Collison, who is averaging almost 19 points and 10 rebounds. "I can see why a lot of kids would want to go there. They make it seem like it's the obvious choice, all the things they tell you. The bottom line was I trusted coach Williams a little more." Cincinnati field opens; Pete Rose won't attend The Associated Press CINCINNATI — Pete Rose turned down an invitation to be Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken's guest when the Reds open their new stadium next week. Luken said yesterday that Rose's agent contacted him to say the former Reds star would not be at the March 31 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the new Great American Ball Park. Rose agreed to a permanent ban from baseball in August 1989 following an investigation of his gambling. He applied for reinstatement in September 1997 and has been in discussions with baseball officials the past year about being reinstated. "I'm not surprised. It was clear Pete wanted to be here, but it was clear he wouldn't do anything that would interfere with his attempt to be reinstated into major league baseball," Luken said. "He'll be here in spirit. I'm sure he'll be here sooner or later." Rose's agent, Warren Greene of Plantation, Fla., did not return messages left yesterday. The Reds declined to comment on the exchange between Rose and Luken. "This was between Mayor Luken and Pete Rose," Reds spokesman Rob Butcher said. "We were not involved in any way, shape or form." Pitcher aims to make Royals staff The Associated Press PHOENIX — D.J. Carrasco is still waiting to hear the word from manager Tony Peña that he will be on the Kansas City Royals pitching staff when the season opens. "I would have to say yes." Peña said yesterday after Carrasco worked a scoreless inning in the Royals' 5-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Carrasco, a rookie right-hander who is a Rule 5 draft pick from the Pittsburgh Pirates, has done everything in spring training to assure that he deserves a bullpen job. "I have a good feeling," Carrasco said about his chance of making the opening day roster. " Hopefully, things will go well If the Royals do not keep Carrasco on the 25-man roster all year, they have to offer him back to the Pirates for $25,000, half the drafting price. for everybody. I'm trying to leave it all out on the field. I'm trying to make it hard for them (to cut me)." He worked a perfect eighth inning against the Athletics. In eight appearances, covering 11 innings, Carrasco has a 2.45 ERA while allowing just eight hits, walking two and striking out eight. "I'm very impressed every time he goes out." Peña said. The Royals, who have won five of their past six games, had 13 hits in beating the A's. Mike Sweeney went 2-for-3 to raise his Cactus League-leading average to .518 and drove in his 21st run with a fifth- "I'm trying to leave it all out on the field.

Dana and Sue Anderson pledged the $8 million necessary to build the 42,000 square-foot center. Gary Kempf, assistant athletics director, said the new conference rooms would give more room for meetings that otherwise struggled with space constraints. It includes $560,000 of weight equipment on the ground floor and plyometric stairs designed to build muscles at one end. Upstairs includes a cardiovascular area and several conference rooms. HOK Sport of Kansas City, Mo. designed the center. Turner Construction contracted the facility. Algen Williams, former Kansas wide receiver, was the site representative for HOK. Williams said the center was one of the biggest in the nation by square footage. Chris Dawson, strength coach, said the new center was a major step up from Kansas's former training center. "This weight room is up there with Notre Dame and Alabama's," Dawson said. The center was a major factor in Dawson's decision to come to Kansas. He formerly held a similar position at Minnesota. Kempf said the new center would aid Kansas athletes. "If you can't get strong in here, you can't get strong period," Kempf said. —Kevin Flaherty Free forAll I'm driving through Iowa.

A few are listed above, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Blue Devils rely on senior swingman Dahnty Jones as an emotional rock. Jones leads the team in scoring and is second in rebounding, but is not nearly as vocal as past Duke leaders. The same goes for junior guard Chris Duhon, who was made out to be the next Jason Williams before the season began. For a pointguard, Duhon's numbers are solid; especially his 6.6 assists per game. Duhon avoids turning the ball over, but needs to step up as an experienced leader with national championship experience. Kansas' senior leaders are not necessarily known as vocal leaders either, but the Jayhawks have the edge in leadership, as its underclassmen are playing with more confidence. 4) Ewing is the ultimate x-factor Ewing is in and out of the Duke starting lineup, but consistently has an impact on the game's outcome. Ewing is third on the team in scoring, and is a good complement to Rediek from three-point range, shooting 40 percent from downtown. The biggest problem is matching up on him. Ewing, at 6-foot-3, 170 pounds, can play multiple positions, and his quickness on the offensive end mixed with advanced ball-handling skills could cause Roy's boys some fits. Duke is 19-3 this season when Ewing scores in double figures. 5) Don't buy into the hype The hype surrounding Duke is that this is a down year for the prestigious program. The biggest hurdle for Kansas to clear in order to win is not looking past the Blue Devils. Duke has all of the raw talent in store to be one of college basketball's most feared squads in the next two years. The thing is that young teams build confidence in early postseason tests. Right now, Duke is a snowball collecting size and speed as it heads down the hill, so expect a young group of hungry players to show up Thursday with nothing to lose. Duke will leave everything on the floor. This Duke team may not be what we are accustomed to seeing, but just because they are not a title-favorite this season, just remember that this is still Duke we're dealing with. Greene is a Vernon Hills, Ill., junior in journalism Bowling CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B two teams," Boehm said. "We are really more like a big family than a team. D'Errico agreed that it helped that the team was close. "Iam from Rochester, N.Y., and when you are that far away from home, it is important to have a team that is more like a family." D'Errico said. "It helps both on the lanes and off the lanes." The team now has nearly a month to prepare for nationals. The team has plenty of work to do before nationals, Fine said. "I figured I would give them a day off and then it is back to the practice schedule." Fine said. After getting yesterday off, the team will spend the next month re-examining equipment and skills set.

Kansas lost to Oklahoma 10-0. Notre Dame to battle Kansas State in quest for second-straight upset The Associated Press MANHATTAN — The opponent will be better and the setting more hostile when Notre Dame seeks its second straight upset in the NCAA women's basketball tournament. And then there's all that purple. At No. 11, Notre Dame is the lowest-seeded team left in a tournament that went almost strictly to form in the first round. The Irish will try to take the next step Tuesday night in a second-round East Regional game at third-seeded Kansas State (29-4), which will have the home court and 10,000-plus purple-clad fans on its side. "I like purple," said Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw, who quickly added, "Green would be number one." Blue would describe how Notre Dame (20-10) left sixth-seeded Arizona feeling in the first round Sunday night. The Irish overcame shooting just 19 percent in the first half with sticky defense and beat the Wildcats 59-47 on Kansas State's court. They'll need a similar effort on the defensive end to contain a Kansas State team that has the Big 12's player of the year, 6-foot-4 Nicole Ohide at center, and surrounds her with outstanding 3-point shooters in Laurie Koehn, Kendra Wecker and Megan Mahoney. C "We have to get out on every shooter and we're going to have N to shut down all five players because they can all score," Notre Dame guard Megan Duffy said. "G o o d defense is definitely going to be the key It also will be important for TCU, the No. 9 seed in the East. again." TCU (20-13) was the only other lower-seeded team to win in the first round, beating No. 8 Michigan State 50-47. The Horned Frogs will be looking for a much bigger upset Tuesday night when they play top-seeded Connecticut (32-1), the defending national champion, in front of the Huskies' usual sellout crowd in Storrs. Connecticut overwhelmed Boston University 91-44 in the first round, showing no sign of a hangover from the loss to Villanova that broke the Huskies' 70-game winning streak. "We'll have to play better, we know that," TCU coach Jeff Mitte said. "They are the best passing team in the country that I have seen." Tuesday night's games will conclude the second round of the tournament, which moves to the regional semifinal level next Saturday and Sunday. One of the more entertaining matchups could be at State College, Pa., where fourth-seeded Penn State (25-8) hosts fifth-seeded South Carolina (23-7). Penn State's Kelly Mazzante is fourth nationally in scoring with a 24.2 average and had 27 in a first-round win over Holy Cross. South Carolina's Jocelyn Penn is right behind at 24.0. "That's what brings fans out," South Carolina coach Susan Walvius said. "Fans want to identify with players and personalities and the people that are on basketball teams. They're very, very different players, but they both are great at what they do for their teams." In the other Mideast game Tuesday, second-seeded Villanova (26-5) plays seventh-seeded George Washington (25-6) in Norman, Okla. In the Midwest, top-seeded Duke (32-1) plays eighth-seeded Utah (24-6) in Raleigh, N.C., and second-seeded Texas Tech (27-5) hosts seventh-seeded UC Santa Barbara (27-4). And in the West, it's second-seeded Texas (26-5) against seventh-seeded Arkansas (22-10) in Cincinnati and fourth-seeded Ohio State (22-9) at fifth-seeded Louisiana Tech (30-2). The Texas-Arkansas game renews a rivalry that goes back to their days in the old Southwest Conference. "Arkansas and Texas, that's something very special," Arkansas coach Gary Blair said. "You out-of-state writers might not understand." Kansas State's challenge will include finding room for Ohlde to operate against Notre Dame's zone defense, which frustrated Arizona's freshman star, 6-5 Shawntinice Polk. Ohlde scored 20 points on 8-for-9 shooting in a 79-69 victory over Harvard on Sunday night but had only five points in the second half. "I think they are very athletic," Ohlde said of the Irish. "They have a really tall lineup. They bring in a lot of height from the bench. I think they are a blue-collar, hardworking team. They are going to be very tough." Notre Dame is just two years removed from winning the national championship and has a history of beating teams on the road in the NCAA tournament. The Irish won at third-seeded Texas in the second round of the 1997 tournament en route to a Final Four berth. The next year, a Notre Dame team that was seeded ninth pulled off a second-round upset at top-seeded Texas Tech. "We like being in the underdog role," McGraw said. "I think it's an easier role for them to be in than the championship year when we were the No. 1 seed. This is much easier for this team. Hopefully it will make us a little more relaxed and maybe we'll even make some of those lay-ups tomorrow." The Associated Press Injuries plague baseball teams as season's start approaches With the start of the season less than a week away, many of baseball's top players are nursing nagging injuries. Injured All-Star shortstops Alex Rodriguez and Miguel Tejada sat out yesterday but hope to be ready for the start of the season. Also, World Series MVP Troy Glaus was sent back to California to have his injured right hand examined, and pitchers Jarrod Washburn, Kazuhiro Sasaki and Orlando Hernandez all might miss the openers. Rodriguez will play today for the first time in two weeks in a minor league game but won't play any more games for the Rangers this spring in case his sore neck acts up. Tejada will sit out at least two games for Oakland after getting hit on the left knee with a pitch. He was bothered by the knee for the past couple of weeks and then was hit by a pitch Sunday. Washburn, an 18-game winner for the World Series champion Angels last year, probably won't start until the team's fifth game this season because of a sprained left shoulder. Manager Mike Scioscia said Washburn will pitch in a minor league game Sunday when the Angels face the Rangers to begin the season. John Lackey, the first rookie to win Game 7 of the Series in 93 years, will start in Washburn's place. Glaus was sent back to Anaheim yesterday to be examined by hand specialist Dr. Norman Zemel. Glaus injured his hand before Sunday's game with San Diego and was scratched from the lineup minutes before the game. Sasaki, the Mariners' closer, has a sore right shoulder and hasn't pitched in a game since March 15. If Sasaki is not available for the start of the season, right-hander Jeff Nelson and left-hander Arthur Rhodes would close for Seattle. Hernandez will miss at least one regular season start because of tendinitis in his right shoulder. Hernandez, who has sat out the past 10 days, could begin throwing again in another week. In yesterday's games: Red Sox 10, Reds 5 At Sarasota, Fla., shortstop Barry Larkin played the outfield for the first time in his career and spent most of the time retrieving run-scoring hits as Boston beat Cincinnati. Cardinals 6, Dodgers1 At Jupiter, Fla., Garrett Stephenson pitched six innings in his best start of the spring and Tino Martinez had two hits. Astros 4, Marlins 3 At Kissimmee, Fla., Mark Redman pitched five scoreless innings for Florida, but the Marlins lost on Colin Porter's game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth. Pirates 9, Blue Jays 6 At Dunedin, Fla., Aramis Ramirez hit a tiebreaking three- Orioles 4, Twins 3 At Fort Myers, Fla., Pat Hentgen struck out five in six innings for his first victory of the spring and Eddie Garabito went 3-for-4 with a two-run triple. Angels 5, Mariners 4 At Tempe, Ariz., Kevin Appier pitched five innings and Adam Riggs hit an RBI triple to cap a two-run rally with two outs in the ninth inning for Anaheim. Rangers 8, Padres 5 At Surprise, Ariz., Doug Glanville's two-run single highlighted a six-run seventh inning for Texas.

If Holmes plays for the Chiefs next season, it will be under his current contract, Chiefs' president and general manager Carl Peterson told The Kansas City Star while in Phoenix for the NFL meetings that started Sunday. Three years are left on Holmes contract, which he signed two years ago. He is scheduled to be paid, with bonuses, $2.25 million this year, $2.5 million in 2004 and $2.75 million in 2005. Peterson indicated his earlier statements regarding Holmes' contract were misinterpreted, and he never said he would give Holmes a new deal. "I've talked about extending his contract," Peterson said. "I'm not offering a new contract, and I'm not interested in tearing up his current contract and throwing that away. He signed a five-year deal. We both agreed on it." Holmes' agent, Todd France, said he would not comment until he talked more with Peterson. Although he missed the final two games of last season with a hip injury, Holmes still had the finest season by a running back in team history and was named an All-Pro for the second year in a row. In just 14 games, he rushed for 1,615 yards and scored 24 touchdowns. The highest-paid runningback last year, according to figures provided by the NFL Players Association, was Emmitt Smith KC of Dallas, who m a d e $10.3 million, including bonuse At $2.25 million, Holmes wouldn't even make last season's list of the 10 highest-paid running backs. But Peterson said that was months away, if it happens at all. In a contract extension, a player typically receives a signing bonus, so Holmes could make more money this year even if the Chiefs don't raise his salary. "The first order of business is to make sure he's 100 percent recovered from that injury such that he's still hopefully the same player he was when he got injured," Peterson said. "That's a process that's going to take some time, into minicamp (in May) and probably into training camp. I've discussed this with him and his representative. "The other thing I've discussed with him is until I get through at least the draft ... I need to get that far through this fiscal year to determine where we are cashwise and capwise. Then, I'll have a better sense of what I may be able to do with Priest on an extension. And that's what it would be — an extension." The Chiefs have the space under the NFL's $75 million salary cap to make a deal with Holmes. But, for now at least, they have other plans for it. They have made contract offers to St. Louis defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina and Buffalo running back Shawn Bryson. Peterson was hopeful both would sign shortly. Missouri seeks improvement next season The Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. — It's become something of a March tradition in Columbia under Quin Snyder: As soon as his Missouri Tigers are bounced out of the NCAA tournament, the wait-until-next-year talk begins. This time, there may really be something to look forward to—if the Tigers' top two stars decide against testing their luck in the NBA draft. On Saturday, Missouri capped a 22-11 season with a 101-92 overtime loss to Marquette in the second round of the NCAA tournament in Indianapolis. Junior standouts Ricky Paulding and Arthur Johnson combined for 64 points against the Golden Eagles. Now, if they'll only stick around. "I'm just thinking about this loss right now," Johnson said after his 28-point,18-rebound performance. "I haven't really thought about anything like that. I already answered that question." Last month, both said they planned to be back for their senior seasons. Then again, who could fault Paulding if, after his 36-point showing against Marquette, he decided to go pro. "That's just something I'll have to address later on," Paulding said "I'm not an NBA scout, so I don't know what's going to happen. I'm going to sit down with coach and evaluate things over the next few weeks." With Paulding (17.4 points, 5.5 rebounds per game) and Johnson (16.1 points, 9.6 rebounds) back, the Tigers would appear to be a Final Four contender in 2003-04. Also coming back are forwards Travon Bryant (8.9 points, 5.8 rebounds) and Kevin Young (2.3 points, 3.2 rebounds) and guards Ricky Clemons (14.2 points, 3.8 assists) and Jimmy McKinney (8.6 M points, 3.4 assists). They'll be joined by Jason Conley, a transfer f Institute. transfer from Virginia Military Institute. In 2001-02, Conley became the first freshman to lead the nation in scoring, averaging 29.3 points per game. He'll be eligible to join the Tigers in the second semester. Add another strong recruiting class and Snyder's fifth season at Missouri could shape up to be his best. In his first four, the Tigers have gotten progressively better, going 18-13 in 1999-00, followed by campaigns of 20-13, 24-12 and 22-11. "We've got a great group of guys coming back, and some good recruits coming in," Paulding said. There's certainly room for improved consistency. The same Missouri team that beat Oklahoma and Kansas, both top 10 teams, also lost to Iowa State and Texas A&M. Clemons, a junior college transfer in his first season with the Tigers, was supposed to be the point guard Missouri sorely lacked, and was impressive at times. But he struggled down the stretch with turnovers and shot just 10-of-47 (21.3 percent) from the floor in his last five games, including a 2-of-15 showing against Marquette. He wasn't alone in his slump. McKinney, a freshman, went 4-of-12 and scored just 11 points in the two tournament games. Bryant was held scoreless with two rebounds before fouling out against Marquette, though he showed signs of reaching his potential during Missouri's impressive run to the Big 12 tournament finals, where the Tigers lost to Oklahoma 49-47. Football players chosen for honors The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Barry Sanders, Joe Theismann and Ricky Bell were among 11 players selected to the College Football Hall of Fame yesterday. Sanders won the 1988 Heisman Trophy while playing for Oklahoma State, and became one of the NFL's best running backs with the Detroit Lions before his abrupt retirement prior to the 1999 season. The 5-foot-8, 175-pound Sanders, who ran for a record 2,628 yards in 1988, set or tied 24 NCAA marks at Oklahoma State. In three years with the Cowboys, Sanders had 3,797 yards and 55 touchdowns. Theismann quarterbacked Notre Dame to a 25-4-3 record in three seasons, and was second to Jim Plunkett in the 1970 Heisman voting. Theismann threw for 4,411 yards and 31 touchdowns and ranked second in school history in passing when he was done. He set 19 school records and ranks seventh on Notre Dame's all-time passing list. Theismann attended a news conference yesterday announcing the new inductees. He said he cried when he learned he had been selected. "I was very surprised. It was very unexpected. I never really had thought about it," he said. "When you sit in the gallery and look at all the great college football players and all the men who have played college football, that's the thing that boggles my mind. It's a tremendous honor." Bell, who starred at Southern California in the mid 1970s, was a two-time All American. He led the nation in rushing in 1975 with 1,957 yards, and finished second in the '76 Heisman balloting behind Tony Dorsett. Bell died in 1984 at 29 of cardiac arrest brought on by rare skin and muscle disease. Former coaches Hayden Fry and Doug Dickey were also selected to the hall yesterday. Fry was a head coach for 37 years, the last 20 at Iowa before retiring in 1998. He also coached 11 seasons at SMU and six at North Texas State, posting a record of 232-188-10 at the three schools. Dickey, who coached at Tennessee from 1964-69 and Florida from 1970-78, had a combined record of 104-58-6. Jimbo Covert, an offensive tackle at Pittsburgh from 1980-83, also was named to the hall "When I saw the classes coming up year after year and my name wasn't up there, I was hoping one day I would get in because it is such a special honor," he said. The other players chosen yesterday were Murry Bowden, a defensive back at Dartmouth from 1967-70; Tom Brown, a guard at Minnesota, from 1958-60; Jerry LeVias, an end at SMU from 1965-68 and the first black to receive an athletic scholarship at the school; Billy Neighbors, a tackle at Alabama, 1959-61; Ron Pritchard, a linebacker at Arizona State, 1966-88; John Rauch, a quarterback at Georgia, 1945-48; and Roger Wehrli, a defensive back at Missouri, 1966-68. The new class will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Dec. 9 in New York. The new hall members will be enshrined in August 2004. Sexual assault trial of Twins star underway MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Kirby Puckett's sexual assault trial began yesterday, with the Hall of Famer accused of dragging a woman into a restaurant men's room and groping her. Prosecutors contend the former Minnesota Twins star grabbed the woman's breast before she escaped from the bathroom at the Redstone American Grill in suburban Eden Prairie on Sept. 6. Puckett is charged with false imprisonment, criminal sexual conduct and assault. As proceedings began, he pleaded innocent to the misdemeanor assault charge, which prosecutors added last week. If the jury finds Puckett guilty on all charges, prosecu tors have said they will seek probation, fines, community service and no more than a year in jail. The 42-year-old Puckett, once one of baseball's most beloved players, sat between his lawyers and showed little emotion as jury selection began. Opening statements and testimony could begin late this week. Judge Stephen Swanson ruled the defense can present testimony that the woman bared her breasts in the restaurant. The woman denies doing it. As he left the courthouse for lunch, a well-wisher said, "Kirby, I hope you can get some peace." He replied, "Thank you" and kept walking with his lawyers to a car. He did not appear for the afternoon session. The Associated Press NFL Europe to go as scheduled in spite of war The Associated Press PHOENIX — NFL Europe is starting as planned, despite the war in Iraq. The developmental league's players and coaches will leave for Germany, Spain, Netherlands and Scotland this week after the 32 NFL owners decided overwhelmingly yesterday to proceed as usual. "We're an American business in Europe," commissioner Paul Tagliabue said. "Like other American businesses, we have to continue on." The decision came on the first day of the NFL's annual meeting, which is expected to focus on proposals to change the overtime system and expand the playoffs from 12 teams to 14. While there's expected to be plenty of debate on those issues, there wasn't much on NFL Europe, which starts play April 4. Its season ends in June. The NFL had already discussed the situation with the six teams, which have been practicing in Florida and were told that neither players nor coaches were too apprehensive about playing. Three of the teams are based in Germany: the Frankfurt Galaxy, Rhein Fire and Berlin Thunder. The other three are the Barcelona Dragons, Amsterdam Admirals and Scottish Claymores. Tagliabue said there was relatively little concern about the safety of Americans playing in those four countries. "We've had the same security procedures in effect as we had for the NFL after Sept. 11," he said. "We're an American business in Europe. Like other American businesses, we have to continue on." Paul Tagliabue NFLcommissioner referring to searches of fans entering stadiums and increased police presence. "There was a strong consensus that we play the season." The decision was not about money — the league has lost money, not made it, in an effort to develop players. Many who have made it from NFL Europe to the big league are fringe or special teams players, although that league also produced two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner. The meetings began with Tagliabue's state of the league speech to the owners. He emphasized the importance of racial diversity in the league's hirings, including a new policy requiring every team to interview at least one minority candidate before hiring a head coach. He said later that it was unlikely that there would be a decision at these meetings on what action to take against the Detroit Lions. They hired Steve Mariucci after saying that five black candidates declined interviews because they believed the team already had decided to hire the former San Francisco coach. Pittsburgh owner Dan Rooney chairman of the diversity committee, also said there was no consensus on what to recommend to the commissioner, who will make the final decision.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN free for all TUESDAY, MARCH 25. 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B Oakland loses despite stellar play The Associated Press PHOENIX — Pinch-hitter Adam Melhuse hit a three-run homer on the first pitch after Eric Chavez was ejected but the Oakland Athletics lost 5-3 to the Kansas City Royals on yesterday. Chavez was ejected by plate ampire Bill Welke in the sixth inning after questioning a pitch that made it 1-2. "I told him I thought the pitch was outside and he said 'Oh course you did, a lefty threw it,'" Chavez said. "Then I said a few things and got run. I've never been thrown out before. I don't argue balls and strikes but he just pinched a nerve." Melhuse replaced Chavez and hit the first pitch he saw from Scott Mullen over the left field fence. "That was awesome," A's starter Mark Mulder said. "Just when you think you've seen it all. To come up in that situation and hit a three-run homer? Come on. But it worked out." Angel Berroa hit a two-run double in the eighth inning to lead Kansas City. Miguel Asencio continued to establish himself this spring with five shutout innings to lower his ERA to 1.23 as the Royals won for the fifth time in six games. "Guys just hit the ball at somebody," said Asencio, who allowed four hits, struck out three and didn't walk a batter. "I threw a lot of first pitch strikes." Jason Grimsley got the win after pitching a scoreless seventh. Mike MacDougal pitched the ninth for his second save. Mulder took the loss after going 7 1-3 innings and giving up four runs on 11 hits. He struck out three and didn't walk a batter. "I don't care about the runs, that was by far the best I've felt this spring," said Mulder, who threw four shutout innings before giving up three runs in the fifth. "Every start I've felt better and I'm ready to go." In the eighth, Juan Brito singled with one out to end Mulder's day. Rontrez Johnson singled off Jeremy Fikac and Berroa followed with his double. Joe Randa, Mike Sweeney and Ken Harvey also drove in runs for the Rovals. Scott Hatteberg had three hits for the As. Notes: A'S OF Eric Byrnes left the game with a cut on the top of the nose in the seventh inning after his glasses broke while he tried to make a diving catch on Michael Tucker's fly ball, which turned into a triple. "I wish I would have made the play," said Byrnes. "I just missed it. I wanted to stay out there but my glasses broke into 15 pieces." ... Royals DH Mike Sweeney went 2-for-3 and now has 29 hits in his last 51 at bats (.569) with 16 runs scored, seven homers and 21 RBIs. He's hit safely in 18 of his last 19 games. Study shows 10 tournament schools graduate less than half of their players The Associated Press For all the profits and fun of the men's NCAA basketball tournament, too many players wind up with nothing more than memories. A study by Richard Lapchick of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida released yesterday showed that 10 of the schools in this week's round of 16 have failed to graduate even half of their players in recent years. Black players are less likely than whites to finish their careers with degrees, according to the study of NCAA graduation rates. Butler posted the best numbers and Oklahoma had the worst. They play each other Friday in the East Regional semifinals. Butler, a small private school in Indianapolis, graduated 86 percent of its basketball players and all of its black players over a six year period starting with the 1995-96 season. Oklahoma had a zero graduation rate, although the school challenged the criteria as misleading. "They can stereotype us all they want,but the bottom line is our kids are graduating." Kelvin Sampson Oklahoma coach A school is credited with graduating students within six years of their freshman year, and is not credited for transfers or junior college players who may get their degrees. "Our graduation rate is 100 percent," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said. "That freshman class (1995-96) was Bobby Joe Evans and Michael Cotton, and they both graduated — Bobby Joe from here and Michael from Boston College. "They can stereotype us all they want, but the bottom line is our kids are graduating." Men's basketball, where 57 percent of the players are black, has the worst graduation rates of all college sports. Lapchick said, with 58 of the 328 Division I teams failing to graduate a single black player in six years. "It is a nightmare waiting to be fixed," said Lapchick, one of the nation's leading sports sociologists. The study lends support to NCAA president Myles Brand's drive to reward or punish schools by tying the number of scholarships to graduation rates. Lapchick said schools would benefit if they used the type of system Brand favors. Lapchick said that under Brand's plan those players who did go to college would be more likely to graduate. Lapchick also favored making freshmen ineligible to play, saying they often fall behind in the classroom and have trouble catching up. Low graduation rates reflect poorly not only on the colleges and coaches, Lapchick said, but on the whole education system. Black students from urban schools, in general, are less prepared for college level work, he said. STUDY RESULTS Five of the 16 teams had graduation rates a third to a half lower than the school's overall athletic graduation rates. Six schools had graduation rates for black basketball players a third to three-quarters lower than overall athletic rates. Only three schools — Butler, Duke and Kansas — graduated at least two-thirds of their black basketball players, while just those and two others — Marquette and Notre Dame — graduated at least two-thirds of all basketball players. Only six schools graduated at least 50 percent of all basketball players, and seven graduated at least half of their black players By Richard Leachick of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida Randy Johnson agrees to contract extension SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—Randy Johnson and Arizona agreed yesterday to a $33 million, two-year contract extension that will keep him with the Diamondbacks through the 2005 season. Johnson won four NL Cy Young Awards and one World Series title in the first four seasons The Associated Press of his current contract. The left-hander will be 42 when the deal ends. Johnson's $16.5 million average annual salary will be the highest ever for a pitcher, topping the $15.45 million Roger Clemens averaged with the New York Yankees in 2001 and 2002. Johnson is 81-27 since joining the Diamondbacks, raising his career record to 224-106. Last year, Johnson became the first major leaguer since Boston's Pedro Martinez in 1999 and the first NL player since the New York Mets' Dwight Gooden in 1985 to win a "We're talking about one of the greatest pitchers of all-time," owner Jerry Colangelo said. pitching triple crown. Johnson was 24-5 with a 2.37 ERA and 334 strikeouts, leading the major leagues in strikeouts for the ninth time. Johnson's extension will pay him $16 million in each of the 2004 and 2005 seasons, and contains a $1 million personal-services contract at the end of the deal. Duke coach fears team may be tired The Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. — As Duke prepares to make its second trip West in this NCAA tournament, coach Mike Krzyzewski has one worry. Is his team too worn out to advance to a 14th Final Four? The Blue Devils (26-6) have been going hard since a mid-October trip to Europe as Krzyzewski has tried to get his young team ready for a deep run into the NCAA tournament. "We really haven't been able to pace this team as I would a more veteran squad," Krzyzewski said yesterday. "We've taken it week-after-week and at times that's why there have been some dips. We've always been going at a hard speed. "It wears your team out some, but we don't have an alternative because if you relax they're not going to pick up the habits that they need to." The Blue Devils also will be making two trips from the East Coast out West. After winning two games in the West Regional in Salt Lake City to advance, Duke returned to North Carolina for classes before heading back on a plane late today for a trip to California and a game against Kansas in Anaheim on Thursday. "We just can't miss that much school," Krzyzewski said when asked why the team didn't stay on the West Coast: "And for us, we love being here. It rejuvenated us getting back into Raleigh-Durham Airport and coming back to our campus." Krzyzewski, who has won a remarkable 60 of 75 NCAA tourney games, will watch his club closely for any signs of fatigue before Thursday's game. "The biggest loss would be the loss of our enthusiasm to play," the Hall of Fame coach said. "If someone beats you, you hope it's because somebody just beats you, not because you weren't excited to play." Duke's thin bench may also come into play against the Jayhawks (27-7). The Blue Devils received a combined nine points from reserves in wins over Colorado State and Central Michigan. "This has been a very fragile and young team," Krzyzewski said. "We've had amazingly versatile teams here in the past. This is not a deep team. A deep team has reference points that have been proven. You have a deep team when you call on somebody and you know what they're going to do. That's the kind of depth you want." Krzyzewski knows Kansas will try to run his team ragged and bang the boards, where the Blue Devils also have been vulnerable this season. "We still have some young guys we're depending on for defensive habits and they break down a lot easier than a veteran team," he said. "But in Salt Lake City we played well. "We'll be tested with an entirely different challenge with Kansas. They are the best fast-breaking team in the country. You have a tendency to have your defense always falling back instead of attacking. That's why their secondary break is so successful. They run off the bus and they keep running." One difficult matchup for the Blue Devils will be Nick Collison, a player Krzyzewski tried to recruit to Duke. While Duke was able to limit the two 7-footers it saw last week, the 6-foot-9 Collison not only can post up inside, but he's also a top outside shooter. "Ilove that kid," Krzyzewski said. "He's capable of scoring 30 and getting 20 rebounds. I think he's the best player in the country. I felt that way when the year started. And he's such a good teammate." "They're awfully difficult to recruit against, I can tell you that," Kansas coach Roy Williams said of the Blue Devils. "Nick Collison's the only player we've ever gotten that they wanted. They've gotten a lot of other ones we wanted." Some didn't expect Duke, which has won three national titles under Coach K, to win two games in the NCAAs this season. And Krzyzewski believes his team will still be an underdog this week. That's fine with him after being one of the favorites for the last few seasons. "We haven't drawn much attention this year so we were kind of in our own little world out there." Krzyzewski said of the trip to Utah. 3,600 TOTAL MINUTES $35.99 PER MONTH Here’s a plan that is as big as your aspirations.

The five votes against the proposal came from faculty and staff, and the three votes in favor came from students. Lot 35 is between the Military Science Building and the Multicultural Resource Center; lot 37 is between Malott and Haworth halls. As it stands, students are not allowed in the lots until 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Only those with blue permits can park from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., anyone with a faculty or staff permit is allowed to park. At 7:30 p.m., the lots are free for all. The parking proposal, passed by Student Senate, would have opened 48 spaces in the lots at 5 p.m. for all, leaving 20 clearly designated spots for faculty in each lot, totaling 40 for both. Kyle Johnson, parking commission student representative, submitted the proposal. "My purpose isn't to take away spaces from faculty," he said. "It's simply to free up unused spaces." Johnson surveyed the lots in early December to see who was using the lots. His results showed that students were parking illegally in unused spaces, which were restricted to faculty. The Parking Department conducted a lot survey in early March. In its results, 15 was the maximum number of faculty using the lots at 7 p.m. The number of people parking illegally always outnumbered those parking legally except on one day. The commission e-mailed faculty and staff who worked in buildings near the lots. From received e-mails, 18 were for the proposal, 14 opposed it and 12 wanted a compromise. Johnson said. Lynn George, parking commission member, questioned the e-mails that OK'd the proposal because some of the answering faculty left at 5 p.m. or used the parking garage. She said a lot of faculty left for dinner and came back to full lots, probably because of students parking illegally. John Augusto, parking commission member, opposed the proposal because of the confusion with current restrictions. Current signs will be updated by the next commission meeting April 8, said Donna Hultine, Parking Department director. The Parking Department will continue to monitor lots 35 and 37 and will also monitor lot 17 behind Summerfield Hall. The commission will discuss the issue again April 8. KPR delays fundraising for events of Iraqi war Promotion of donations pushed back a month for coverage of conflict By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Kansas Public Radio announced yesterday that it would postpone its fundraising efforts for one month because of continued coverage of the war in Iraq. KPR, the National Public Radio affiliate at the University of Kansas, will have fundraising from April 25 to May 2 instead of starting this week, as originally planned, said Janet Campbell, Kansas Public Radio general manager. Campbell said the effect would be hard to determine, but they were not comfortable asking for money at this time. "People depend on us to provide information," she said. "The effects will not be seen overnight, but we can see the writing on the wall." While it's hard to say how this delay will impact donations during the fundraising week, judging from the mailing campaign, donations are lacking so far this year, Campbell said. "We are about $25,000 behind what we normally have at this time." Campbell said. Phil Wilke, KPR's media manager, said new people listening to war coverage might be able to help with donations. "We have lots of new listeners tuning in for national war coverage," he said. "We just don't know what to expect; there is no precedent. But we'll still be able to pay our bills. The money will just come later." George Norton, a volunteer at KPR, said he agreed with the decision and thought fundraising would be better if it was pushed back. "It's the smart thing to do." he said. "Right now people's focus is elsewhere. If we did it now, there would be divided interest, but the people who have given in the past will continue to do so." Campbell sets the budget in June with expected income, so the majority of the effect will be seen in two months when the next budget is established. "There will absolutely be an effect in two months," she said. "There won't be the money to do what we've always done." "I met with staff and looked at what others were doing," she said. "National Public Radio did away with their fundraising, so, in a way, the decision was made for me." Despite the possible effects, Campbell stands by her decision. Edited by Jason Elliott Testing the pressure Mike LaBonte, physical plant supervisor, tests a fire hydrant near Budig Hall yesterday afternoon. According to Bob Rombach, University fire marshal coordinator, the government regulates that all hydrants be tested once every four years to make sure adequate water pressure is available. Rombach said that, to measure pressure, the water was put through an orifice containing a gauge that gave it a reading. The reading was then applied to a chart to determine the flow. A good flow is 1,200 gallons per second with 60 pounds per square inch. Lindsey Gold/Kansan Ceremony honors whistle By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In its early years, it was known as the punctuality enforcer, keeping professors within the time restraints of their classes and students on time. "I think you can make a case that the steam whistle is as much apart of the oral tradition of KU history as crimson and blue and the Rock Chalk cheer." Henry Fortunato, KU historian said. "It's a sound that links generations of Jayhawks." Ninety-one years later, the whistle at the University of Kansas still plays the same role as time keeper. Fortunato gave a brief history of the whistle. He said there was often conflict To celebrate 91 years of Tooty Toot's presence at the University, a ceremony was held yesterday in the Kansas Union, where the whistle is on display. between faculty and students over the accuracy of the whistle. Among 45 people present at the ceremony were 91-year-old Clarence Knapp, who operated the whistle for more than 20 years. Knapp pushed the button to start a 91-Toot Salute. "Chancellor Strong once instructed the entire student body when the whistle blows get up and go," Fortunato said. "I hope it blows 91 more years. I won't be here to hear it though." Knapp said. Bob Sieber, physical plant supervisor, said he enjoyed the ceremony. He did admit that he hated the whistle at times. "I hated it because I had to work on it," Sieber said. "In the winter time it always went bonkers. I had to be up there on the roof several times during the winter." Casey Connealy, Leawood graduate student, attended yesterday's ceremony. He SEE WHISTLE ON PAGE 10A Lindsev Gold/Kansan David Mucci, KU Memorial Unions director, presents the whistle in a dedication ceremony yesterday in the Kansas Union. The 91-year-old whistle, known as the "Tooty Toot" originated as a ship's whistle before it became the sound heard around campus.

Foertsch said he was in favor of on-campus drinking and wants to incorporate drinking with KU sporting events. By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Although Andy Poorsch admits he has no leadership experience, he is running for student body vice president as part of the Lord Wad and the 12 Knights of the Crusade coalition. Foertsch said he wanted to incorporate drinking within University of Kansas sporting events. "You can't watch a ball game without beer." Foerstch said. Not only does Foertsch support on-campus drinking, he also supports smoker-friendly classrooms. Brett Gilmore. Overland park senior, said he also supported smoker-friendly classrooms. "It would accommodate everyone." Gilmore said. "There could be an entirely different line number for smoking classes." Gilmore said because of Foertsch's good looks, he had a shot at winning the election. "He's attractive." Gilmore said. "That counts in America." Foertsch is running alongside presidential candidate, Brett Wadsworth, also known as Lord Wad. Foertsch said his running mate possessed all the good qualities a leader should have. "He's book-smart and clever, although I've never taken him too seriously," he said. "He's such a clown." Anita Faortsch, Andy's mom, said the campaign fitted him. "He's been pretty hilarious ever since he was a kid," she said. Like most kids, Andy Foertsch had to help with washing dishes when he was younger. Foertsch even found washing dishes amusing. "He'd wear my rubber gloves and pretend they were numchucks," Anita Foertsch said. "Sometimes he'd break into tap dancing in the kitchen." Because Foortsch isn't planning on winning the election, he said he was enjoying the election process. The Lord Wad and the 12 Knights of the Crusade coalition kicked off the campaign with a party at the Crossing. "We're really just a bunch of drunk guys who aren't taking the campaign too seriously," Boertsch said. Win or lose, Foortsch and the rest of the Lord Wad and the 12 Knights of the Crusade coalition are having a ball, he said.

What is left of the tree stands near the city's downtown on a dirt lot that is going to be developed into a mix of shops, offices and At about 75 feet, the tree was once "agreat tree," said Bo Harris of Harris Construction, a coowner of the property. But the tree died last summer, he said. Workers removed most of the branches last Tuesday, and Silhka was perched in the tree when they returned the next day. She remained late Monday afternoon, according to an employee at the nearby Borders Books Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire. Harris said Monday that he was still talking with the co-owners of the property and his attorney about how to address Sihka's demands. Sihka has said she will come down only if she receives written assurance that the tree will remain standing until at least July 4. Harris said she apparently To learn more about Sihka, go to page 7 of tomorrow's Jayplay. thinks the extension will give her time to rally support.

Radio station seeks international voices By Cal Creek By Cal Creek ccreek@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Students seeking an alternative radio station can now tune into a Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese speaking Christian station online. Danny Li, Lawrence resident and director for the station founded Foot Print Radio Broadcasting Ministry, www-footprintradio.org, two and a half years ago when a pastor at his church suggested the idea. "Our goal is to reach the international students on campus and help them to understand the Christian entity,"Li said. The radio station, 255 N. Michigan St., broadcasts Christian radio 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most of the time the station broadcasts entirely in Mandarin Chinese. Loletta Wong, Hong Kong graduate student, and Stephen Pun, May 2002 graduate from Macau, broadcast for an hour in Cantonese every Wednesday from 8 p.m.to 9 p.m. Wong said on the air the disc jockeys made fun of each other and talked about the news and other topics. In between the conversations, the station played gospel music. The DJs try to relate it all to Christianity, Wong said. Wong said her favorite part about the job was talking openly on the air. She said it was like therapy for her. "If I can find support and happiness from God, hopefully they can find support and happiness in the same way." Wong said. Pun said he became a DJ to improve his presentation and speaking skills, and it wasn't until he became a DJ that he took an introspective look at his life. Li said the DJs brought different aspects to their shows that reflected their personalities. Another DJ on the station, Ming Chiang, Taipei, Taiwan, graduate student, presents the life of a different Christian scientist for his weekly show, Mondays from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. He said he wanted to show a side of scientists and people of note that textbooks did not usually show. Chiang gets the sources for the stories he tells from the book The Life, Love and Philosophy of the Scientist by Wenleng Chang, a professor who attended Chiang's church in Taipei. In the time that Chiang has been broadcasting, he has profiled 30 or 40 scientists. Chiang said he wanted to profile doctors, politicians and other Christians who played some role in society. A different DJ broadcasts every night from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. When DJs aren't on the air the station broadcasts audio tapes of preachers speaking in Mandarin Chinese and Christian music in Mandarin Chinese. Cantonese and occasionally English. Li has several hopes for the future. "We'd love to enrich our program and put in more life programs." Li said. He said he also wanted to expand the radio station to other campuses, bring more Christian bands to the Midwest and get more student DJs on the air. The current six DJs are unpaid volunteers, Wong said. Although they are not paid, Wong said Li and his wife, Fiona Lai, gave them plenty of free food.

I know there's spooning and forking, but is there such a thing as sporking and kriving? War protests are about as effective as masturbating with both hands tied behind your back. So, I hooked up with one of the K-State men's basketball players over spring break, and let's just say that basketball isn't the only thing they suck at. I'm kinda sad right now. I just came from the bathroom, and my pee looked green Do we really want a president who mixes religion and war? Yesterday I saw an NBC sticker on a military tank. Is this advertising? I just saw a guy today with stain-resistant khaki shorts, and I just want to say that I want his pants. Very bad. You know you live in McColum when they have the place on lockdown because of high terrorist alert, but leave the maintenance door wide open at 11 at night.

I don't know if I'm really tired or my computer is really Saddam Hussein backwards is Insane Badass. Okay, not exactly, but close enough. Michael Moore is a smart, funny, compassionate filmmaker. Charlton Heston is an old, crusty racist. If you can't respect Michael Moore for having the balls to exercise his freedom of speech by voicing his opinion, then you're an idiot. --finds itself in. You can argue over whether Moore chose an appropriate forum for his debate, but this man — a rabble-rouser, a true American controversialist — given tens of millions of viewers at his disposal, has to ask himself, "If not you, then who?"

GUEST COMMENTARY Prince sharpshooters could be seen popping out of windows high above Hollywood Boulevard. Anti-war protesters lined up for two blocks outside the Kodak Theatre, chanting "Occupation is not liberation!" Stephen Shupe opinion@kansan.com After the awards were under way, winners kept the protesting to a minimum, politely nudging support for peace and a swift resolution to the conflict. But just as President Bush has said he "doesn't do nuance," Michael Moore doesn't do polite. Waving his fellow nominees to the podium, Moore uttered a quick thank you to the Academy and then proceeded to lambaste the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. Before the music swelled to cut him off, Moore called President Bush the beneficiary of "fictitious election results" who is "sending us to war for fictitious reasons." There's little interest to be glommed from how Bush was elected, but Moore was dead-on in his description of the fabricated conflict the United States now As with his Oscar-winning film about the American gun culture, Moore again asked us to think outside the box. Inside the box lie fictitious endeavors such as the liberation of the Iraqi people and the disarmament of weapons of mass destruction. But outside the box lies the truth. As reported in The American Prospect, a biweekly magazine of the alternative press, the Bush administration plans to redraw the map of the oil-rich Middle East. Ahmed Chalabi, the leader of the Iraqi National Congress, is the likely U.S.-backed successor to Saddam Hussein. The congress and its neo-conservative bankers plan to dismantle Saudi Arabia, seize its oil and collapse the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. For more fiction, consider the spectacular juggling it's taken the administration to gain public support for the conflict. Time and again, the administration has cited Iraq's violation of U.N. Resolution 1441, choosing to ignore the dozens of violations of U.N. resolutions Israel has made since the early 1990s. Incentives for war have jumped from disarmament to liberation to regime change like stepping-stones. Moore had given a longer version of this speech the night before in Santa Monica at the Independent Spirit Awards. He railed against the television news media, with its endless array of generals as consultants, saying, "I would like the U.S. military to withdraw from the American media." This brings up another issue of what is and what isn't inside the box. Of course, a certain amount of military analysis is required for an understanding of events throughout the war, but that's virtually the only analysis we're given. The overwhelming majority of news about the conflict has come from the very individuals who are perpetrating it; the White House and the Pentagon. Few interviews with the Iraqi people are televised, even though there's a U.S. reporter in every nook and cranny in the Middle East. Few pictures of the Iraqi wounded are shown, even though protesters are parading blown-up pictures of mangled Iraqi children all over Bangladesh. What kind of message are we sending to the rest of the world with our international policies and the skewed lens through which we film them? Michael Moore understands that history will judge what we've done. Namely, that we've invaded another country that's done nothing to us. In his speech at the Independent Spirit Awards, Moore made a sobering connection between his film and the present conflict. "The lesson for the children of Columbine this week is that violence is an accepted means by which to resolve a conflict," he said. "That's a sad, sick and immoral lesson." Shupe is an Augusta graduate student in journalism. PERSPECTIVE Celebrity protests irrelevant to public; Idealistic student protests worthless The public cares when a celebrity wears a certain brand of clothes, listens to a certain type of music or watches a certain kind of movie. Yet there is one glaringly obvious thing that celebrities flaunt that the majority of Americans don't care about. COMMENTARY ALEXANDRA DAVIS According to a recent Gallup poll, eight of 10 American's couldn't care less about what celebrities have to say about the war in Iraq. In fact, those eight out of 10 said no celebrity would ever have an effect on their political stances. Meagan Kelleher opinion@kansan.com Celebrities are never shy of a camera or microphone, and more and more personalities have been putting their opinions out there. This was more than evident with this year's Academy Awards, when Michael Moore and Adrien Brody used their acceptance speeches to state their opinions. With that in mind, I wonder what ordinary people's motivations are when they publicly air their opinions, even when it is obvious that no one gives them a second glance. Maybe it's time for those of the celebrity persuasion to shut their yaps and focus on their next mockery of pop culture. If that can happen, maybe the rest of America can realize that their opinions hold no value toward anyone but themselves. A prime example of a star whose celebrity clout has gone over their head is Jessica Lange. While at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, Lange made her opinions on George W. Bush and the then possible war loud and clear. Lange said point-blank that she "hates Bush" and was "ashamed to come from the United States." This comment that was made overseas, that was printed in hundreds of newspapers, online, in magazines only caught the attentions of a mere fraction of the entire American population. So, what makes students think that there are people out there pining for a student's take on war? If Jessica Lange can't garner interest from anyone, what makes a group of college students protesting in front of Wescoe think holding "Impeach Bush" signs will make anyone re-think their opinions? It's an optimistic view, one that holds fantasies of Bush declaring that he had pulled all Coalition Forces out of Iraq. There are the idealists — the people who maintain that, despite the war's arrival, their opinions of protest still hold clout. Protests such as those held at the County Club Plaza in Kansas City last week, where protesters were asked whether they thought their opinions were still important. Many said their opinions had gained importance. Well, Bush did not take into account the anti-war sentiment of France, and he will not take into account the anti-war sentiments of revelers at the Plaza. As much as we long to be part of a country where our opinions truly matter, those with issues on their minds could focus on educating those who wander the same campus and the same city. Try to stay as realistic as possible when you share your thoughts, because being stuck in the middle of America means that our tiny voices as students get lost in the shuffle. I am forced to take the position of devil's advocate here in suggesting that maybe, just maybe, all the protests focused toward government officials are actually not effective at all. The motivations of protestors need to be refocused on realistic issues, because this war is in full swing, whether you like it or not. Doing this won't put you on the same level as celebrities, but maybe you will get your point across to people who want to listen. Kelleher is an Omaha, Neb., sophomore in journalism. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A University to offer new summer programs in Costa Rica By Erin Ohm eohm@kansan.com Kansas staff writer After canceling a study abroad program in Golfito, Costa Rica the University of Kansas will offer three new programs in this Central American country this summer. The programs will be offered in the areas of journalism, anthropology and social welfare. Last year the Office of Study Abroad discontinued its 2003 summer program in Golfito because of safety concerns after the murder of KU student Shannon Martin. Study abroad director Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco said the University of Kansas canceled the program because the office determined there was a change in the environment in Golfitio. The study abroad office is working with the University of Costa Rica to develop alternative to the Golfito program, but in the meantime students can participate in the other programs in Costa Rica. All three new programs are in locations other than Golfito, and Gronbeck-Tedesco said the distance was one reason the office thought the programs would be safe. She said San Jose, the location of the journalism and social welfare programs, was eight hours from Golfito, and the anthropology program in Puerto Viejo was on the opposite coast. Gronbeck-Tedesco said the office used many indicators to determine the safety of study abroad programs. The office monitors the news and gets feedback from students, KU staff members in San Jose and other institutions with programs in Costa Rica. "We've been running the program in San Jose since 1958, so it's a highly established program," she said. "I don't think students on summer programs that KU offers are under any greater threat than they would be in any large American city." Gronbeck-Tedesco said the office followed recommendations of the U.S. State Department and did not offer programs in areas where it issued travel warnings. She said the office had added sections on violence to student study abroad orientations and strengthened the handling of emergency procedures. "It's not that Costa Rica in particular is unsafe. Wherever people have access to guns and there is violence, we're all unsafe." Debra Ortega assistant professor,social welfare Megan McKenzie, Olathe junior participating in the journalism study abroad program, said she was looking forward to visiting the newspapers in Latin America. McKenzie said she was slightly deterred by Martin's murder in Golfito, but she had a friend studying in Costa Rica now who assured her it was safe there. McKenzie said she still wanted to go on the program this summer. Debora Ortega, assistant professor of social welfare, said the relationship between the University of Costa Rica and the University of Kansas had a long history. She said she felt good about the safety of the social welfare program in San Jose and wasn't overly concerned because she had been to Costa Rica before. "I feel really confident in study abroad," Ortega said. "It's not that Costa Rica in particular is unsafe. Wherever people have access to guns and there is violence. we're all unsafe." The third program on field work in applied cultural anthropology is in the coastal city of Puerto Viejo. Golfito is also a town on the coast, but Gronbeck-Tedesco said both a KU faculty and a staff member would be with students in Puerto Viejo. In Golfito the University has just one hired staff member. Gronbeck-Tedesco said seven people were enrolled in the anthropology program, 12 in journalism and 13 in social welfare. She said the office was still finalizing the journalism program to determine whether it had enough students to operate. 3:26 RM WANNA GET AWAY? — Edited by Anne Mantey $39 to $99 Fares will be up to $40 more each way when you travel Sunday, Monday, Thursday, or Friday.

Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Though the Black History Month officially ended in February, the men of Kappa Alpha Psi wanted a way to remind people of their African-American heritage. In an effort to reach that goal, members of the fraternity presented "A Walk Through History" yesterday at the Kansas Union. The display featured exhibits charting the development of African-American culture from 3000 B.C. until the present and a showing of the Denzel Washington and Spike Lee film Malcolm X. About 100 people attended. Gabe Roland, Kansas City Kan., senior and a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, said "A Walk Through History" was important because it reminded people that African-American culture didn't start and stop with the month of February. "Black History shouldn't just be an annual thing." Roland said. "It's something that I, and others, should celebrate all year round." Roland said Kappa Alpha Psi considered the timing of its presentation when it planned "A Walk Through History." "If this happened in February, we thought it would have been overlooked," Roland said. "Usually you hear about X and King, but there were a lot people you don't read about," said Jennifer Morrow, Kansas City, Kan., senior. Yesterday's event featured displays on familiar personalities, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malecolx X, in addition to other, less-heralded portions of African history. One such display detailed the life of Nefertiti, an Egyptian queen in the 14th century. Much of the information Kappa Alpha Psi highlighted in its displays is typically overlooked during Black History Month and in the classrooms, Roland said. Roland said it was nice that people could come and get information they didn't know. Honey Hallock, Lawrence junior, said the display gave her a new perspective. Lanard Paden, Kansas City, Kan., senior, who also attended the event yesterday, said the display highlighted the importance of history. He said the display was of great benefit to students because it offered a different perspective. "It's a great thing to run into in the middle of the school day," Hallock said. "I look to these stories for a better sense of American culture." "History should be shared," Paden said. "And this gives students the opportunity to look at history as a whole." Dariel M.

Yesterday's event, which was sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, displayed works produced by fraternity members highlighting historical topics such as famous Kappas and the civil rights era Students opposing war still patriotic, supportive of troops By Kalley Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Just because protesters in Lawrence are anti-war, it doesn't mean they are anti-troop. Matt Conley, Overland Park junior, said he supported the troops but was against the war. He used an analogy to describe how people against the war thought about the American policy with the war and troops who were fighting. were fighting. "America is like an alcoholic uncle that you love very much but is doing something very destructive to themselves." Conley said. "You're concerned about that person and still love them but want to change what they are doing because you do care about them." Allan Hanson, professor of anthropology and coordinator for the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, said there was a misconception that people who were against the war were not being patriotic and not supporting troops in Iraq. "Protesters are trying to make a distinction in supporting the troops and keeping them at heart, but we still oppose the war." Hanson said. Rick Musser, professor of journalism, said the media coverage of wars reflected what the public "I think you should support the troops over there who are risking their lives. It is disrespectful to the people over there." Kristen Luehrs St. Louis freshman thought and said. The public's reaction to war in the past had demonstrated that once war had begun the public would usually support it, he said. "Historically once American troops become engaged in a war, those who still demonstrate for peace are seen by the general public as unpatriotic, at first," he said. The longer a war goes on, the higher the casualties and the less clear the goal of the war becomes. the more the public comes around to supporting the peace movement, Musser said. A good example of this is how the press and public reacted to anti-war demonstrations during the Vietnam war, Musser said. At the beginning of Vietnam the general public opinion and press coverage showed support for the war on and troops but as the war went on and more people died, the public and press reconsidered their positions and moved more toward the anti-war protester's position, Musser said. Kristen Luehrs, St. Louis freshman, said she did not agree with the war protesters. "I think you should support the troops over there who are risking their lives," Luehrs said. "It is disrespectful to the people over there." Col. Michael Lee, commander of the air force ROTC detachment, said that some troops who were fighting in Iraq could see the protests as offensive. "It's difficult for someone who is in the theater to see that as anything but a lack of support." Lee said. Ryan Dittmer, Tribune freshman and army ROTC cadet, said people in the United States should unite and support the war. He said if he were fighting in Iraq he might be upset if he saw the anti-war protests going on at home. "I would be a little disappointed that those Americans aren't unifying in supporting the fact that we do have troops over there fighting." Dittmer said. "We should pray and hope that our leaders do the right thing for our country." Ankur Rughani, Topeka sophomore, is also an army ROTC cadet. He said people against the war could still support the war. "I would venture to say that everyone is in support of the troops, even if they are against the war," Rughani said. — Edited by Julie Jantzer IS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL LISTED BELOW?

The Graduate School sponsored the workshop, "Employment with the Federal Government with an Academic Degree." The brown-bag workshop was part of the Graduate School's "Preparing Future Professionals" program. About 30 students attended. Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school, said the program was part of an effort to give graduate students more employment opportunities outside of academia. Danny Sudler, a human resources specialist for the Office of Personnel Management, pro vided graduate students with tips on applying for a variety of jobs in the federal government. The most important step in applying was to read the vacancy announcement carefully and follow the directions, Sadler said. "If you follow the directions and include all the necessary information, they technically have to accept your application on a party napkin," Sadler said. To keep students interested in the presentation, Sadler asked questions about the covered material and awarded flying discs to students with the correct answers. Sadler said advantages of possessing a degree included the outstanding scholar program, under which a 3.5 grade point average can qualify a graduate for noncompetitive eligibility for certain government jobs. Another advantage is the federal student loan repayment program. Under the program, students can have up to $40,000 paid on their federally insured student loans for certain jobs in some federal agencies. Sadler recommended that students interested in obtaining federal jobs should visit the Web site at www.usajobs.opm.gov to find vacancies. The résumé builder tool on USA Jobs is a good resource, and has all the information needed for a job. Sadler said. Karen Willey, a graduate student in geography, learned of the presentation through the Graduate Student listserv and found it helpful. "It did a good job of giving an indication of where to start looking for those who haven't started looking," Willey said. — Edited by Anne Mantey By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Russian pianist to play today A Russian pianist from an extensive musical family will be visiting the University of Kansas today. Olga Kern, 2001 Van Cliburn Gold award winner, will give a presentation today at 4:30 at the central court in the Spencer Museum of Art entitled "Rachmaninoff and Me." Kern will speak about Sergei Rachmaninoff, his music and their families' associations. Kern's great-grandmother sang with Rachmaninoff, a Russian composer. Kern's great-great grandmother also played with Russian composer Pytor Tchalkovsky. Kerns will play for about 15 minutes, said Barbara Bosché, director of education at the Lied Center, but she may play longer. "We're leaving it up to her on how she wants to handle it," Bosché said. Bosché said the presentation was free and open to the public. "She is going to speak in Russian, and it will be translated into English," Bosché said. "The plan is trying to bring together different cultures." Alice Downs, associate professor of music and dance, said that in the morning Kern would be giving master classes. Kern began studying piano at five years old. She is a laureate of several international competitions including the Hamamatsu, Ciani and China piano competitions. On June 10, 2001, Kern was the first woman to receive the Van Cliburn Gold award since 1969. In the summer of 2001, Kern made her Boston Pops debut and performed at the Kennedy Center. She was featured in a documentary on the 11th Van Cliburn Competition, which premiered on PBS stations on Oct. 17, 2001, and was directed by Emmy Award-winner Peter Rosen. Kern will give a concert in the Lied Center at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. Tickets are still available. Kern's 90-minute Lied Center performance will include "Impromptu in F.minor," "D.935, No.1" and "Impromptu in B-flat major" and "D.935, No.3" by Schubert, "Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 35" by Brahms, "Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op. 42" by Rachmaninoff, "Prelude and Fugue in G-sharp minor, Op. 29" by Sergey Taneyev and "Islamey" by Mily Balakirev. "Anybody who enjoys music should enjoy the event," Bosché said. Governor proposes to balance budget through bonds, taxes Edited by Anne Mantey The Associated Press TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius proposed yesterday that the state issue bonds, speed up collection of local property taxes and take other steps to balance the budget through mid-2004. Sebelius said her package, which included a gambling provision she had already endorsed, would allow the state to avoid a tax increase and protect education from further funding cuts. additional $5 million would be captured through a tax amnesty program. For the current fiscal year which ends June 30, Sebelius proposes issuing $175 million in bonds backed by money from Kansas' $1.7 billion share of a 1998 settlement between states and big tobacco companies. An Her proposals would raise $224.6 million in the fiscal year that starts July 1, mostly by having Kansans pay half of their property taxes next year in May rather than June. The Democratic governor said the state must continue a "tight-fisted, sharp-penciled" approach to its budget problems because too many Kansans are suffering in a slow economy. "I cannot tell the people of Kansas that when it comes to changing its ways, their government has already done all that it can," she said at a news conference. Some Republicans criticized the proposals, which generally would need legislative approval. "It's a plan based on debt, gambling and asking people to pay their taxes a month early," said House Speaker Doug Mays, R-Topeka. "It doesn't fix anything long-term." Taken as a whole, Sebelius' proposals would give the state cash reserves of $75.4 million at the end of the 2003 fiscal year and $175.1 million on June 30, 2004. Such reserves — also called the ending balance or rainy-day fund — are required by a state law which governors and legislators have sometimes worked around. But Sebelius and lawmakers say the reserve is helpful when revenues fall short of expectations. Sebelius said her revenue package would provide the money needed to fund a $10.2 billion budget she presented in January for the 2004 fiscal year. Debate on the budget plan opened yesterday in the House, with members quickly rejecting two efforts to spend more for public schools than the $3,863 per pupil the governor had sought. A proposal by Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, to give all state employees a 2.5 percent raise effective July 1 was defeated on a 77-20 vote yesterday evening. No raises are included in the House budget bill, but the Senate's bill—to be debated starting today—proposes a 1.5 percent raise. The gambling proposal that Sebelius supports would allow slot machines and other electronic gambling devices at the state's five dog and horse tracks and in Dodge City if local voters approved. Developers agreed to pay the state a total of $30 million for gambling licenses. Selling bonds against the state's eventual revenue from the tobacco settlement had been suggested by some legislators, but others said the timing posed problems. Mays, who is a securities broker, questioned whether there is much demand for tobacco bonds because several states have already issued them. Also troubling to Mays was Sebelius' proposal to use the bond proceeds for highway projects — and use funds originally dedicated to highway projects for other government programs. Such a plan amounts to using debt to cover the state's operations, Mays said, "Who's fooling whom?" Sebelius' plan also calls for Kansans to pay the second half of their 2003 property taxes in May 2004 instead of June 2004. The change would provide an additional $162 million in the 2004 fiscal year. But the proposal still could cause some heartburn, because banks and mortgage companies that collect money to cover taxes from property owners would have to recalculate monthly payments. 21 to Enter NO COVER!

But it could have been worse if a fellow Marine hadn't pulled him out of the way. ATCHISON - Martin and Kim Eichelberger have a Marine to thank for their son's life. They just don't know the hero's name yet. Eichelberger, from Atchison, Kan., suffered a broken pelvis, broken right femur and internal damage to his intestines in the incident, which occurred while he slept. Eichlberger and the other soldier were taking turns keeping watch from a foxhole when the incident occurred. The other soldier was able to pull Travis partially out of the foxhole before the tank rolled over it, saving Travis' life. Eichelberger was immediately transported to a hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. "We're going to find out," Kim said. "We have a lot of thank yous to say to this young man." But Eichelberger's parents have not been told the name of their son's hero. The Enchelbergers were notfied about the incident Saturday morning and have spoken to their son twice since. "He seems to gaining more and more strength as every day goes by." Kim said. The Marines told the family Travis will eventually be moved to nethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland, perhaps as early as this weekend. Although Travis' condition remains serious, Kim said she and her family are confident he'll recover. "I did a lot of my crying over the weekend," she said. "I'm at work today and some people might think that's weird, but it's keeping my mind busy." Martin said he has felt nearly every emotion since the accident because he knows just how close his son came to death. Martin Eichelberger started to get an emergency passport to fly to Germany, but may wait if Travis is moved to Maryland soon. "I'm dealing with it," he said. "I've got to say that I praise the Lord that he's alive." Sebelius proposes bond plan The Associated Press TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius proposed Tuesday that the state issue bonds backed by revenue from its settlement with tobacco companies and speed up the collection of local property taxes to balance the next budget. Those proposals, combined with a plan she previously outlined to allow more gambling in Kansas, would raise $224.6 million during the fiscal year beginning July 1 without increasing taxes, the governor said. "The plan I am announcing today does not ask the people of Kansas to bear the burden of higher taxes this year," Sebellus said. "I cannot tell the people of Kansas that when it comes to changing its ways, their government has already done all it can." ing June 50, Sebelius proposed $175 million in tobacco bonds, backed by annual payments from a 1998 legal settlement among states and large tobacco companies. In addition, the state would collect $5 million through a tax amnesty program. For the current fiscal year end- By issuing the bonds in the current year, the state would have an ending balance of $75.4 million to begin fiscal 2004. If the proposal is adopted, the state would have an ending balance — the so-called "rainy day" account — of $175.1 million on June 30, 2004. The governor outlined her proposals after the House began debating a proposed $10.2 billion budget for fiscal 2004. House members rejected two proposals to increase spending on public schools beyond the $5,863 per pupil Sebelius proposed and were to continue their debate into Sebellius' revenue package would provide the money necessary to fund budget recommendations she made in January. Tuesday evening. Her gambling proposal would allow slot machines and other electronicgambling devices at the state's five dog and horse tracks and in Dodge City if local voters approved. Developers would pay a total of $30 million up front for gambling licenses. Some legislators already had proposed issuing tobacco bonds, but others were skeptical about the timing. Sebelius' plans also would require property owners to make payments in May 2004 instead of June 2004, when the second half of their 2003 taxes are now due. The change would provide an additional $162 million in the next fiscal year. Judge gets suspended for actions The Associated Press TOPEKA — A judge convicted of intimidating a witness has been prohibited from performing any judicial duties. Chief Justice Kay McFarland issued an order Tuesday restricting Judge Tamera Zimbelman of St. Francis to performing administrative assignments as directed by the chief judge of the 15th Judicial District. Zimbelman had accused Christopher Merklin, then 21, of stealing her purse Dec. 22, 2001, from Cheyenne Bowl. The judge said she had "circumstantial evidence" that Merklin, of St. Francis, took the purse. A police search of Merklin's pickup the day of the alleged theft turned up nothing. A few days later, Zimbelman's estranged husband, Rell Dean Zimbelman, of St. Francis, and Scott Allen Baumfalk, of Kanorado, showed up at a house where Merkel lived with his parents and sister. They allegedly demanded the purse be returned. During Zimbelman's trial, Assistant Attorney General Athena E. Andaya said the magistrate judge had acted "unprofessionally" and was not able to separate her personal life from her professional life. Zimbelman's defense attorney Roger Falk, of Wichita, told jurors she had acted with "stupid or inappropriate behavior" but that it was not criminal behavior. You're not sleeping. Why should we?

Three Palestinians were sentenced to life in prison by an Israeli military court. Israeli forceslooking for suspected Hamas militants in Bethlehem shot three Palestinian gunmen dead after they opened fire on the soldiers from a car, Israel Radio said. The report said soldiers then opened fire on another car they thought was trying to run them over, killing a 10-year-old girl. The Israeli military had no immediate comment. A spokeswoman at Hadas-sah Hospital in Jerusalem said three wounded had been brought there from Bethlehem — a father, mother and 15-year-old girl. In the West Bank town of Jenin, a 14-year-old boy was killed and a 12-year-old boy was seriously wounded by fire from an Israeli tank, doctors said. The Israeli military said they had been shot while climbing on an armored vehicle and trying to steal a machine gun. In the Gaza Strip, soldiers opened fire on two suspicious figures near the Jewish settlement of Morag, hitting one. military sources said. They said the area was off-limits to Palestinians. The court sentenced the three Palestinians to consecutive life terms in prison after convicting them of involvement in fatal attacks against Israelis, the military said, including a mob killing that horrified Israelis at the beginning of the Palestinian uprising more than two years ago. In a statement from the military court near the West Bank Jewish settlement of Beit El, the military said the three were members of an Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade cell in Jenin. The group is affiliated with Fatah, the movement headed by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The military said the three had carried out many shooting attacks on West Bank roads and Jerusalem. The commander of the cell, Mohammed Mazlah, was sentenced to nine consecutive life terms. Among the incidents, the military said he had been involved in the attack on two unarmed Israeli reserve soldiers who lost their way and entered the West Bank Palestinian town of Ramallah in October 2000. A mob stormed the police station where they were taken, beat them to death and threw their bodies out a second-story window. Hour by hour, Iraq TV broadcasts the fierce propaganda of Saddam Hussein and his inner circle. "Slit their throats," is the greeting Iraqi citizens should give advancing allied troops, the leaders advise on the air. Iraq TV still on despite bombings The Associated Press Despite bombs, missiles and thousands of ground troops rumbling toward Baghdad, the government-controlled station operates with only intermittent outages. But threatened death and mayhem are not the most disturbing words coming over the Iraqi airwaves. The halting responses of captured Americans, their faces etched in fear, are also broadcast. And ultimately, after being picked up by Qatar-based satellite network Al-Jazeera and bounced around the world, they have made their way onto U.S. television. And into the homes of prisoners' families, who can only watch helplessly. On Monday, Iraqi television showed farmers stomping on the helmets of two downed Apache helicopter pilots in central Iraq. "A small number of peasants shot down two Apaches," Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahhaf said. "Perhaps we will show pictures of the pilots." They did. Chief Warrant Officers Ronald D Young Jr., 26, o Lithia Springs, Ga., and David S Williams, 30, of Orlando, Fla. appeared on camera but didn't speak. They looked confused, turning their heads and looking in different directions. "He looked stubborn, mad," said Young's mother, Kaye, standing outside her Atlanta home Monday night. "He probably was frightened though." At first, the mother said, she was hysterical. "Now I'm numb." American military officials have long promised a war that would take great care to avoid civilian casualties and infrastructures such as power and communications grids. Increasingly, however, U.S. leaders are being asked why allied troops—with their precision weap- omy don'tsimplyknock Inqi television off the air for good. The answers have been vague. The answers have been right. Yesterday, during the daily military briefing at the coalition's $1.5 million desert press center in Qatar, a reporter asked Air Force Maj. Gen. Victor Renault: "Why haven't you attacked those facilities and taken them out?" "I'm not going to talk about what we target and when," Renuart replied. Besides, he added, he doesn't think such propaganda hurts the allied cause. "I don't believe it affects us in a negative way," he said. "I think people around the world understand that it is, in fact ... not necessarily reality." Troops nab terror suspects, weapons The Associated Press BAGRAM, Afghanistan U.S.-led forces intensified a sweep of southeastern Afghanistan for terror suspects yesterday, capturing four suspected rebels and seizing a major weapons cache. Hundreds of soldiers participated in Operation Valiant Strike, now in its fifth day, Lt. Col. Michael Shields said. The cache, extracted from two walled compounds, included electronic detonators, timers, dozens of mortar and rocket-propelled grenade rounds and land mines. It was the fourth cache seized during the operation. "We're looking at a potential facility where they were preparing ordnance perhaps to use against coalition forces or the government of Afghanistan," Shields, an operations officer, told The Associated Press. "This is a pretty significant find." Four suspects were detained in connection with the cache, he said, but he declined to identify the groups they might be affiliated with. Earlier yesterday, Army spokesman Col. Roger King said another weapons cache found Monday included more than 170 rocket-propelled grenades and scores of land mines and mortar rounds. About 600 U.S.-led soldiers are on the ground and hundreds more are providing support in the region as part of the offensive to hunt for suspected al-Qaida or Taliban fighters and their allies. Eight people have been taken into U.S. custody since the operation began. There have been no clashes with rebel fighters and no soldiers have been injured, King said. Regional Afghan official Gul Mohammed Khan said he understood that U.S. forces had moved to the Ataghar district from Maruf, where Taliban spiritual leader Mullah Mohammed Omar has tribal links. Ataghar is 95 miles east of the southern city of Kandahar. Khan, district chief of Maruf, said the Americans had destroyed a large weapons cache yesterday morning before leaving. Just after midnight Monday, a patrol of U.S. forces from the Shkin base in the eastern Paktika province near the Pakistani border came under gunfire and grenade attack by as many as five militants, the Army officials said. No soldiers were hurt, Shields said. student union activities The University of Kansas 785-864-SHOW www.suaevents.com MPCOMING EVENTS MENDEANDAY kansas union gallery Lisa Thalhammer a solo exhibition 9:00 am-4:00 pm March 26 - April 15 kansas union, Level 4 FEATURE FILM Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones 7:00 & 10:00pm Woodruff Auditorium kansas union, level 5 FRIDAY E1B FEATURE FILM Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones 7:00 & 10:00 pm Woodchrift Auditorium kansas union, level 5 88 SUNDAY 3PM THE ADVANCE warning tour presented by SUA, CMJ, and MTV2 7:30 pm Kansas Ballroom kansas union, level s admission $5.00 SUA COMMITTEE MEETINGS 5:00,6:00,7:00 pm Kansas Union CHECK THE SUA OFFICE FOR specific meeting rooms.

"It was nice to see people from the past who worked in Facilities. Operations monitoring the whistle and know how it has affected the University over the years," Connally said. The whistle on display was installed in 1940. It came from a German freighter from World War II. The Kansas Union obtained the whistle in January when irreparable cracks forced its retirement. "We're happy and thrilled its here. We'll have some fun with this great tradition," said David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions. The ceremony at the union marked the beginning of 10 additional panels that will make up the KU history gallery which will open the end of April. The panels will feature items such as the history of KU basketball, football and the Rock Chalk cheer. the newest KU whistle should arrive on campus the second week of April, said George Cone, assistant director of facilities operations. Edited by Jason Elliott India criticizes U.S., Pakistan after attack The Associated Press NADIMARG, India — India lashed out at Pakistan and the United States on Tuesday for doing little to contain terrorism after an attack in Kashmir killed 24 Hindus — mostly elderly villagers dragged from their homes and shot. India's deputy prime minister blamed violence in Kashmir on "our neighbor," but did not directly accuse Pakistan of the latest attack in India's portion of the strife-torn region claimed by both countries. "This is a cold-blooded massacre. Violence in Jammu and Kashmir is continuing because of our neighbor," Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani said. "These incidents are... ethnic cleansing." Police also said Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged fire along the frontier Monday, killing one Indian soldier. Such incidents are routine. In one of the worst-ever attacks on Hindus in Muslimmajority Kashmir, about 10 men dragged villagers out of their homes in Nadimarg town Monday and shot them, police and witnesses said. The dead included 11 women and two children. Most of the adults were between 50 and 80 years old. Indian police said they believed the gunmen were Islamic militants who have been fighting for Kashmir's independence from mainly Hindu India, or merger with Islamic Pakistan, since 1989. Police say the area is a stronghold of the Pakistan-based Hezb-ul Mujahedeen rebel group. India accuses Pakistan of training and arming the Islamic groups, a charge Islamabad denies. A cease-fire line divides Kashmir between the two countries. Pakistan Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri on Tuesday repeated Pakistan's condemnation of the massacre and offered condolences. But he also blasted the Indian government for blaming his country. "The Pakistan government deplores the ... baseless allegations," he said. Kasuri also called for a joint Pakistan-India probe into the incident. Advani had said an earlier Pakistan condemnation of the attack meant little. "In the case of Islamabad all that has happened is that the words have changed ... not the actions. On the ground their approach to cross-border terrorism continues as before," he said. On Tuesday, suspected Islamic militants attacked an Indian army patrol elsewhere in Jammu-Kashmir state, killing a captain and a soldier, police said. After India-Pakistan tensions worsened following a December 2001 attack on India's Parliament by suspected Islamic militants, Washington said it received assurances from Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf that he would not allow Pakistan territory to be used for terrorist activity in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Musharraflater denied making such a promise. Advani, when asked whether he thought Washington's attention was diverted by the war in Iraq, said, "Even before Iraq ... I do not think that insofar as cross-border terrorism is concerned Washington has imposed any great pressure on Islamabad." Monday's incident was expected to further strain India-Pakistan relations. The nuclear-armed neighbors came to the brink of a fourth war after the Indian government blamed Pakistan for similar attacks a year ago. He added, "We are disappointed with the United States' attitude toward cross-border terrorism in India." North Korea claims to be next U.S. military target The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea claimed again Tuesday the United States may attack the communist state after the war in Iraq and spark a "second Iraqi crisis." North Korea accuses Washington of inciting a dispute over the North's suspected nuclear weapons programs to create an excuse for invasion. "No one can vouch that the U.S. will not spark the second Iraqi crisis on the Korean Peninsula," North Korea's state-run Minju Joson newspaper said. North Korea will "increase its national defense power on its own without the slightest vacillation no matter what others may say," the paper said. On Monday, Pyongyang said Washington was using the war against Iraq as a test for military action against the North, labeled by President Bush part of an "axis of evil" with Iran and Iraq. South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun dismissed the allegation as "inaccurate and groundless" and said U.S. officials repeatedly have pledged to resolve the issue peacefully. Early this month, President Bush said he believed the standoff could be resolved diplomatically, but noted it could be resolved militarily if diplomacy fails. The standoff flared in October when U.S. officials said Pyongyang admitted having a secret nuclear program in violation of a 1994 pact. Washington and its allies suspended oil shipments promised under that agreement and Pyongyang retaliated by taking steps to reactivate a nuclear facility capable of producing several bombs within months and by withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Tensions between the two Koreas are mounting over the nuclear crisis. South Korea is a strong ally of the United States, which has 37,000 troops based in the South. South Korean Foreign Minister Yoon Young-kwan will head to Washington on Wednesday to discuss the situation. North Korea suspended a meeting with the South this week after Seoul put its military on heightened alert, fearing the North might use the distraction of the Iraqi war to attempt provocations. Pyongyang said South Korea's move pushed the situation to "the brink of war." First Management Living Communities. Live with the best.

Bryn Anderson Tulsa,Okla.,freshman Tough road to Final Four By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Illustration by Donovan Atkinson/Kans Kansas faces stiff competition The atmosphere in Anaheim, Calif., tomorrow will closely resemble that of Final Four games. Indeed, there are four teams left ... in the West region of the NCAA tournament. Regardless of who analyzes the tournament seedings, they all agree on one thing — the west side of the bracket is loaded. Arizona was the number one team in the nation for most of the year. Notre Dame rained 13 three-pointers in its victory against a strong Illinois team that won its conference tournament. Duke won its conference tournament, and Kansas won the Big 12 Conference title. Looking for the reason there are fewer upsets in the tournament this year? Several of the talented midmajor or minor conference teams were also sent to the West. Creighton, Gonzaga, Central Michigan and Wisconsin-Milwaukee all had no scheduling favors, with Creighton and Central Michigan playing each other in the first round. Kevin Weiberg, NCAA tournament selection committee member, said the committee tried to create equality. "Naturally, every year there are going to be some fans who think their region is harder." Weiberg said. "But we work to make sure that the top four teams in every region are balanced across the lines." "I think that the general sense was that we had three very good teams here," Weiberg said. "Everyone knew that there would probably be two number ones." Weiberg's other job is commissioner of the Big 12. For fairness, he must leave the room when his conference teams are discussed and is not allowed to vote on Big 12 teams. This can become tricky when three teams are ranked as closely as Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas did get the two SEE FINALFOUR ON PAGE 7B Softball team comes back strong after weekend loss By Steve Schmidt sschmidt@kansan.com Kansan sportswinter After a less than flattering performance against the No. 4 team over the weekend, the No. 24 Kansas softball team got right back into the swing of things — literally — in a doubleheader against Oklahoma City University yesterday. More precisely, they got back into swinging for the fences. The Jayhawks walloped six home runs on the day, three of them courtesy of freshman second baseman Jessica Moppin. The blasts, coupled with an assortment of other base hits, allowed Kansas to topple the Stars, winning both games, 9-3 and 6-1. Kansas coach Tracy Bunge called her team's play "solid," after a not-so-solid series against the Sooners. "I look at Sunday's game as king of an aberration." Bunge said of the 10-0 loss to Oklahoma. "We were God-awful. We played ugly. After a game like that you can do two things: You can beat yourself up or say we had a bad game and move on, and we chose to do that." One place where Kansas moved on was at the plate. Kansas bats, which were silenced by precise Oklahoma pitching, came alive.

Czyz, who pitched two innings and struck out five batters, was one of six pitchers used by Kansas in last night's game against Baker University. By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan writers sport Courtnev Kuhlen/Kansai The Kansas baseball team gave new definition to the term, "pitching by committee" last night as it easily defeated Baker University 11-2, as six Kansas pitchers combined to strike out 17 batters. Senior Pat Holmes started for the Jayhawks (21-9) and pitched two innings, allowing no runs and no hits while striking out three batters. Freshman Don Czyz followed Holmes. He also pitched two innings and struck out five batters. Josh Duran was next on the mound. The junior struck out six batters in only two innings of work. "I love this pitching staff," senior Kevin Wheeler said. "We did this same thing against Southwest Missouri, and it worked out." Wheeler said pitching by committee worked better because it gave the other team a different look with every pitcher. The team also received a large contribution from freshman Matt Baty, who started the game in center field and finished at second base. Baty, who is not a normal starter for the team, went 4-5 with two runs batted in, three runs scored and three stolen bases. Wheeler also saw time on the mound. He pitched the ninth inning. As the team's designated hitter, Wheeler went 3-5 on the day with two runs batted in. "Matt Baty is a good player," coach Ritch Price said. "Before his career here is done, he will be a pretty solid player for us. This weekend, you will see him in the starting lineup for the first time against a quality opponent, and he will start playing one game over the weekend series." The Jayhawks managed to score in six of the eight innings they batted in, highlighted by a three-run second inning. The team followed that with a two-run hit in the third inning from the bat of junior catcher Jake Kauzlarich, who hit a two run home run, his second of the season. After scoring only one run in the fifth inning and not scoring in the sixth, the team responded with two more runs in the seventh.

Price is excited about the conference home opener this weekend and stressed the importance of taking advantage of playing at home. "We have been on the road six of the last eight weeks," Price said.

CORRECTION Surprising all Colorado makes the cut for Sweet 16 "I think a lot of people on the outside doubted we could get back here, but everybody on our team knew we could it." Buffers guard Kate Fagan said at the post game press conference. BOULDER, Colo. — The Colorado women's basketball team was picked to finish sixth in their conference in the preseason. They were nowhere to be found in a preseason Top 50 poll by womencollegehoops.com. They had a one-week stay in the national Top 25 polls in January and never returned after a bad loss at Kansas State. And once again, the team that gets no respect is going to the Sweet 16. Colorado, (24-7) seeded sixth in the Mid East regional, defeated third seed and 11th ranked North Carolina 86-67 in front of 4,645 boisterous and appreciative fans at the Coors Events Center Monday night. By Katie Zemko Colorado Daily via U-wire University of Colorado Both teams came out shooting cold, combining to miss their first seven field goal attempts before Coretta Brown opened up the scoring with a three pointer. UNC led 5-1 and 7-6 early, but when Tera Bjorklund hit her first field goal en route to her dominating 34-point performance, she put the Buffs ahead 8-7. North Carolina would stay within striking distance for most of the game, but never led again. Colorado launched 15 3-point field goal attempts in the first half, hitting only five. Reserve guard Veronica Johns Richardson went two for two from deep in the half. But it was Bjorklund's strong inside presence and ability to draw contact to get to the charity stripe that allowed her to score 17 of the Buffs 36 first half points. CU led at the half, 36-27, due largely in part to hitting 11 of 13 free throw attempts compared to UNC's 0-1 from the line. "A lot of teams look at her stature and think she's going to be susceptible to physical play. I think she responded to that." "I think part of North Carolina's strategy was to rough her up a little bit or to be a little bit physical on the inside," Buffs head coach Ceal Barry said of her star center. Bjorklund simply wasn't fazed at all in this game in spite of some extra curricular roughhousing by an obviously frustrated Tar Heels squad. For the game Bjorklund shot 11 of 14 from the floor and 12 of 17 from the free throw line. She added eight rebounds to her performance. We offer Michigan player pleads guilty By Maria Srow Michigan Daily via U-wire University of Michigan ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Choosing a plea agreement over chancing an unfavorable jury verdict, University of Michigan basketball player and kinesiology junior Bernard Robinson pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and battery in an incident that occurred in April. According to Department of Public Safety reports, Robinson was accused April 20 of fondling a female student in the stairwell of West Quad Residence Hall. The woman escaped and contacted DPS, who arrested and released Robinson that morning. Robinson is a forward from Washington who averaged 11.7 points per game this past season. His attorney, Nicholas Roumel, who works for Student Legal Services, said Robinson had originally been facing three counts of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. Had he been found guilty of those charges, he would have been listed in the Sex Offender Registry for the next 25 years. He also could have faced up to two years in jail plus fines and fees, Roumel said. "He admitted to putting his arm around the waist of the complainant without her consent on two counts," Rounel said. "It affirms what we have said all along, that he is not guilty of a criminal sexual offense." Those charges have been replaced with two counts of simple assault and battery, a misdemeanor. Roumel said the plea agreement had come unexpectedly and at the advice of Washtenaw County Circuit Court Judge Donald Shelton, who presided over the He added that although the plea agreement was a "significant reduction" to the original charges, the agreement still holds consequences for Robinson due to the guilty plea. "I think there is always mixed feelings when you do that," Roumel said. "He could have been facing a guilty charge on a sexual offense, which would have almost certainly ended his basketball career. This keeps him in school and on the team." Joseph Burke, the chief assistant prosecuting attorney, said the plea agreement was beneficial and supported by all parties involved, including the victim. case. Robinson is now scheduled to be sentenced on April 29 at 1:30 p.m. He could face up to 93 days in jail or receive a penalty of community service, counseling and fines. Nebraska's lineup begins to settle By Vince Kupig Daily Nebraskan via U-wire University of Nebraska LINCOLN, Neb. — It may have taken a while, but Mike Anderson is finally starting to get comfortable with an everyday lineup for his Nebraska baseball team Well, sort of. Heading into yesterday's 4 p.m. contest against Cal Poly (14-11-1) at Haymarket Park, the Cornhusker coach has never filled in Husker the same lineup card for more than one game. With only so many combinations left, Anderson is starting to narrow down the nine spots. "It's getting a lot better with [the lineup]," said Anderson, whose No. 16 Huskers (14-6, 4-2 Big 12) also play the Mustangs today at 4 p.m. "I would have liked to settle the lineup earlier. But the kids settle the lineup." Through 20 games, the Huskers have had 20 different lineups. Make that 21 after yesterdays game. Center fielder and leadoff hitter Jeff Leise, the only player to start every game for the Huskers, likely won't play in either game against the Mustangs because he had seven stitches put in above his right eye Sunday evening. Leise suffered the injury while wrestling around with outfielder Brandon Fusilier following Sunday's victory against Kansas State. Anderson, who said neither would be disciplined for their horseplay, put a ban on wrestling. Leise, who has started 104 of Nebraska's past 105 games, should be ready to go for Friday's first game of a three-game series against Oklahoma, Anderson said. "I felt really good about [the lineup] before this," Anderson said. Before that incident, Nebraska's top half of the lineup appeared pretty stable. The first five hitters -- Leise, Joe Simokaitis, Matt Hopper, Fusiller and John Grosse -- were the same in all three games against Kansas State. Each of those five hitters have the five highest individual averages for the Huskers. Combined, the five are hitting .371 while the rest of NU's team has a .250 batting average. "One through five have been our offense." Anderson said. The newest addition to the group of five has been Simokaitis,NU's sophomore shortstop. Simokaitis batted last in the order for NU's first 15 games, before being moved to the No.2 spot. After hitting .256 with only 16 RBIs in 51 games last season, Simokaitis has hit .308 with 18 RBIs in 19 games this season. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2003 T.J. Ford receives Naismith Award By Darren W. Dummit Daily Texan via U-wire University of Texas AUSTIN, Texas — A middle-aged man with a strong likeness to Tyrone Willingham sat in a plane getting ready to leave Birmingham, Ala., Monday morning when a male flight attendant noticed he was wearing a Texas Longhorns shooting shirt. With his dainty shorts and blow-dried hair, the flight attendant shot out a somewhat snake remark about how good Texas would be if only T.J. Ford had a jump shot. The passenger simply replied with a knowing glance, which led to a nervous chuckle from the surrounding rows. father of the 2003 Naismith National Player of the Year. "This honor means a lot to me. When I took a look at the list of names who have won the award in the past, I was humbled," the sophomore said. "It does show that hard work pays off." Just hours after his father's flight home, it was announced that T.J. Ford had become the first Texas male basketball player to win the Naismith Award in its prestigious 35-year history. It wasn't long before the flight attendant found out exactly who the burnt-orange clad passenger was: Leo Ford, Ford's latest honor shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone, even the flustered flight attendant quickly backtracked by saying Ford was still, in his view, the best point guard in the country. T. J. leads his Longhorns in points (15.0 ppg), assists (7.4 apg), steals (1.96 spg), free throw percentage (81 percent) and minutes (33.5 mpg). Coincidentally, he also led the Horns to back-to-back sweet 16 appearances for the first time in school history. The Naismith Award, founded by the Atlanta Tipoff Club, are determined by a select group of leading basketball coaches, journalists and administrators which comprise the Naismith Board of Selectors. Ford was also named the Sporting News Player of the Year March 17. "My teammates should share in this honor, as none of our program's success would be possible without them," TJ. said. Despite all the accolades, Ford has made it clear that he intends to return to Austin for at least one more year. While he was "110 percent" sure he was coming back three weeks ago, there's no telling what impact a potential run to the Final Four might have on his ultimate decision. kansan.com What are you more concerned with?

Hew was smiling—all four of his league's teams in the NCAA tournament had advanced to the round of 16—and honest. "Our kids are playing with a chip on their shoulders without anyone saying anything to them because they felt our league was slighted," he said. "And what these teams have done doesn't change the fact we only got four in." Big East people spent the days leading up to the tournament maintaining that definitely a fifth team, Boston College, and maybe a sixth, Seton Hall, deserved to be in the field of 65. They will just have to settle for having one-fourth of the Sweet 16, with one team in each region. "We think we're one of the best conferences in the country," Pittsburgh's Ontario Lett said. "We want the Final Four to be like the Big East tournament." It almost was in 1985 when three Big East teams reached the national semifinals after four had been in the round of 16. The only other conference to go 4-for-4 in teams reaching the regional semifinals was the Big Ten in 1980 and two of them reached the Final Four. Syracuse beat Oklahoma State 68-56 on Sunday and Pittsburgh beat Indiana 74-52 to complete the Big East sweep. Connecticut and Notre Dame advanced on Saturday with wins over Stanford "Our kids are playing with a chip on their shoulders without anyone saying anything to them because they felt our league was slighted." Mike Tranghese Big East commissioner and Illinois. The Big 12 had three of its six teams reach the third round, while the Southeastern Conference. Atlantic Coast Conference and Big Ten will have two each. All but one of the 16 seeded teams reached the second round — fourth-seeded Dayton lost to Tulsa in the first round. Only nine of the 15 made it through to the second weekend with the No.4 seeds all gone. The Midwest and West will have Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5 in the regional semifinals, while the East will have Nos. 1 and 3 joined by Nos. 10 (Auburn) and 12 (Butler). The South has only top-seeded Texas left along with Nos. 5 (Connecticut), 6 (Maryland) and 7 (Michigan State). That means three of the last four national champions are in that regional semifinal. Sunday's biggest upset was No. 13 Butler knocking off fourth-seeded Louisville 79-71, while not far behind was No. 10 Auburn beating No. 2 Wake Forest 68-62. Michigan State also dispatched a No. 2 seed, beating Florida 68-46, the Gators' fourth loss in five games. Butler and Auburn were two of the five double-digit seeds to reach the second round. Their chances to move along in the tournament now drop decidedly as only four of the 21 that reached the round of 16 over the last five years went to the regional final, including Kent State and Missouri last year. Butler, which was left out of last year's NCAA field despite a 25-5 record, was 14-of-22 from 3-point range, including 9-of-13 in the second half. Darnell Archey, the man known for his free throw shooting, was 8-of-9 on 3-pointers and made all six he took in the second half. He matched his career high with 26 points. "I was in the zone. I felt like Michael Jordan in '92 against the Blazers," said Archey, who set the NCAA record this season by making 85 consecutive free throws. "My teammates just kept getting the ball to me with wide-open looks." The loss ended a season that saw Louisville climb to No.2 in the country under second-year coach Rick Pitino. "Obviously, if you don't win a championship, you're going to end on a low note," said Pitino, who had won 12 of his last 13 NCAA tournament games. "To me, this is not a low note because of what our team has accomplished this year. And I'm not too disappointed, because Butler is a great team." In other games Sunday, Maryland beat Xavier 77-64, Texas downed Purdue 77-67 and Kentucky defeated Utah 74-54. Sooner freshman emerges, helps team in tournament The Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma freshman De'Angelo Alexander is making his coach look good. When Kelvin Sampson decided to make senior Jason Detrick a redshirt this season, he did so with the expectation that Alexander would emerge as a solid player for the Sooners. Now, Alexander is a starter who played a major role in top-seeded Oklahoma winning its first two games in the East Regional. "There's a lot of people who ask me questions about why did we redshirt Jason Detrick? And that's a fair question," Sampson said. "But now you know why. De'Angelo Alexander is a very good basketball player." With Hollis Price bothered by a groin injury, Alexander scored a career-high 16 points in a first-round victory over South Carolina State and added 15 points and seven rebounds in the second round against California. The Sooners (26-6) will play 12th-seeded Butler (27-5) next in the regional semifinals Friday at Albany, N.Y. "Jason, in five NCAA tournament games last year, I think he averaged 4 points per game. I had a good feeling De'Angelo could do that." Sampson also had faith in Alexander a year ago when Alexander and four teammates were kicked off their Midwest City High School team. They were accused of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman "There's a lot of people who ask me questions about why did we redshirt Jason Detrick? And that's a fair question." tion." Kelvin Sampson Oklahoma basketball coach while at a tournament in Columbus, Ohio. The woman eventually chose not to file charges, but Alexander's high school career was abruptly ended and his reputation was tarnished. "I knew the kid, and that really helped me," Sampson said Monday. "I knew the kid, knew his mother, his father. I just brought him into my office even as it happened and sat down and talked to him. I think what he went through was a severe punishment, not getting to play his senior year." Alexander said it was a difficult time. "I was used to being in every state championship of my high school years, and for me to sit and have to watch the playoffs over something that didn't really happen, it hurt," he said. "But I know the people who really know me, they really know De'Angelo, so I really don't care what people think about me." It hasn't always been easy on the court this year, either. Like any freshman, Alexander had to adjust to the rigors of the college game and get used to not being a starter. But he has been steady all year long, and that steadiness helped move him into the starting lineup. Ebi Ere, who was expected to be Oklahoma's leading scorer this season, shot just 29 percent in Big 12 Conference play. Sampson eventually chose to bring Ere off the bench and replaced him in the lineup with Detrick, who has started seven of the past eight games. "I think it really helped De'Angelo's confidence when we started him," Sampson said. "I think he felt that he belonged more." Alexander scored in double figures in the final three games of the regular season, then totaled just 14 points in the three games at the Big 12 tournament. But then he played well in the opening rounds of the NCAA tournament. "He's played well the last 10 or 12 games," Sampson said. "Since we've moved him into the starting lineup, he's had a lot of good games. We've played a lot of good teams this year and he's played well." At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Alexander has the strength to score inside and is a good rebounder. He also has worked to improve his perimeter scoring. Sampson said this time of the year boiled down to mental toughness and confidence, and Alexander had both. "He went through the typical freshman ups and downs," Sampson said. "But late in the season, he's been tremendous." You're organized. You communicate well. Congratulations Jayhawks! You made it to the Dance.

And this one goes to the very heart of the sport, a power play by some of skating's most prominent names to replace the International Skating Union. "We cannot be silent any longer and let our sport careen into the abyss," Olympic silver medalist Paul Wylie said yesterday, announcing the creation of the World Skating Federation. "We have watched and waited for the ISU to take the necessary steps to cleanse the sport, and we have seen nothing but cosmetics," he said. "There is no other way than to simply start from scratch." Disgusted by what it says is a loss of the sport's integrity and credibility under the leadership of ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta, the WSF's ultimate goal is to become the sport's governing body. "A coup? We definitely want to shine a light on what people in figure skating think is wrong," said Scott Hamilton, the 1984 Olympic champion and a leading voice in the sport. "If you want to go the high road, it's an alternative, a platform where we can really do this right." The group already has a leadership structure and a constitution, and it has pledges for almost $200,000 in funding, said Jon Jackson, an international judge and a WSF founder. But there's more to creating a new federation than a star-studded list of supporters and a glitzy video presentation. The biggest hurdle will be convincing the International Olympic Committee that the WSF, not the ISU, is best suited to be skating's governing body. The WSF faxed IOC president Jacques Rogge a letter early Tuesday, and also sent him a package outlining its criticisms of ISU leadership, Cinquanta in particular. The IOC didn't exactly greet news of a splinter group with a rousing reception. "The IOC recognizes one international federation for each sport and, as far as skating is concerned, it is the ISU," IOC spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau said. "There is no plan to change anything. It's not on the agenda at all to change things." Cinquanta would not comment. ISU special events coordinator Peter Krick said Tuesday no comment would be made until after the world championships. The WSF might have better luck with the IOC if it can show O O O O OLYMPIC GAMES support from a wide-ranging list of national federations; organizers said theyll begin trying to line up endorsements immediately. "I will not ask any member to join the WSF because they could potentially put their athletes in jeopardy," said Ron Pfenning, a top judge who is acting president of WSF. "I would hope they could endorse this organization on the principles on which it was founded." The WSF's announcement caught ISU member nations by surprise, and most refused to comment before reviewing the information. Though WSF officials initially said they had gotten an endorsement from the USFSA, the USFSA quickly said that wasn't true. "(The USFSA) has had neither the time nor the opportunity to review the proposals offered by those seeking to create a new world figure skating body," the USFSA said in a release. "We will follow the well-established representative process we have in place to determine what is truly in the best interest of our membership." Skating has been buffeted by criticism and international scorn in the aftermath of the Salt Lake City scandal, and the interim judging system hasn't helped. The WSF says it will give control of the sport back to skaters. The ISU oversees both figure skating and speedskating, and many figure skaters say that compromises their influence. It doesn't help that Cinquanta is a former speedskater, and has almost wholesale support from the speedskating side of the ISU. "You don't have hockey players running basketball," six-time U.S. champion Todd Eldredge said. The WSF said it would involve athletes and coaches at every level, giving them a voice in major decisions. It also would mete out real punishment for those found guilty of misconduct, the breeding ground for recent scandals. The ISU has no official code of conduct. Judges or officials found guilty of wrongdoing can be reinstated once they've served their punishment. Even judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne, who touched off the biggest scandal in Olympic history with her admission that she was pressured to vote for the Russian pair, is suspended for only three years. A's demolish Mariners; Rogers, Rodriguez return to teams The Associated Press The Japanese fans missed quite a show when the Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners played yesterday. Instead of opening the season in Tokyo, the two teams slugged it out in an exhibition game in Arizona, with the A's beating the Mariners 25-10. Eric Chavez hit one of Oakland's seven home runs and the Athletics had 31 hits. The teams originally were scheduled to play their season opener at the Tokyo Dome yesterday, but the trip was called off because of the war in Iraq. The result would likely have been very different if this game had counted. Instead of a matchup of aces, the A's sent Ted Lilly out to face Gil Meche. "I think the lineups would have been a little different," As manager Ken Macha said. Frank Menechino, Mark Ellis, Ramon Hernandez, Billy McMillon, Adam Piatt and David McCarty homered for the A's, who had their highest-scoring game in spring training since at least 1986 — as far back as the team's records go. . "We hit some balls hard," Macha said. "It was just one of those days. That's baseball. We've got Randy Johnson pitching tomorrow. That's baseball, too." Elsewhere, Kenny Rogers held Cincinnati's slumping offense to two hits in five innings in his debut for Minnesota, leading the Twins to a 2-1 victory over the Reds. Rogers signed a $2 million one-year contract on March 13 and had a spot in the rotation reserved. The left-hander pitched in two minor league games before appearing with the Twins for the first time yesterday. "I know that was something that was needed," he said. "Not that the other work is not quality, but it's not the same. When you get into a 'A' game, you get the extra adrenaline and nervousness." Rogers held Cincinnati to a pair of singles and two walks in five innings, striking out two. "We were real excited to see what we did today," pitching coach Rick Anderson said. Also yesterday, the New York Yankees said they expected closer Mariano Rivera to start the season on the disabled list while Texas' Alex Rodriguez took a big step to returning to the Rangers' lineup. Rodriguez has a small disc herniation in his neck, but reported no pain after playing seven innings at shortstop in a minor league game. He batted each inning, going 2-for-8 with a two-run homer, single and three RBL. "I'm right on schedule," Rodriguez said. "My timing was a little off, but it was really good to get out there. I got in eight solid at-bats. It was good to be able to see some live pitching." Rivera felt discomfort while making his final pitch in the ninth inning Monday against Detroit. "Unfortunately I think he'll have to be disabled," Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said. "If we play this thing wrong, we have more than a short period of time that we can damage here. We could jeopardize a much longer period of time, so we'll take the safe approach." Rivera went on the disabled list last June with a groin strain in the same area. "I've been treating it," Rivera said. "That's all they're going to do. It's a little sore. It's better than last night." Juan Acevedo, the Tigers' closer last season, will get the majority of the save situations. The Fun is a Click Away. The Fun is a Click Away.

Bud & Bud Light NOW INTERVIEWING for waitresses and cheerleaders all shifts T WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26. 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5B Sooners need to have Hollis Price back to full strength The Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. — Without a healthy Hollis Price, the Oklahoma Sooners have little chance to make the Final Four. Just ask coach Kelvin Sampson. "We have to have Hollis," the coach said yesterday. "You can't lose a guy like Hollis and expect to be as good, especially when you're playing the teams you are now." The top player for the top seed in the East Regional has an injured left groin that limited him to 41 minutes in Oklahoma's first two NCAA tournament games. Price is getting treatment each day, and hopes to be close to full speed for Friday's game against 12th-seeded Butler in Albany, N.Y. Price, the Big 12 player of the year who averages 18.5 points, was hurt in the closing seconds of the conference tournament title game March 16. He scored in double figures in all but one game before the injury. But Price took just one shot, a 3-pointer that he made, in 11 minutes against South Carolina State in the first round of the NCAA tournament. He followed that with five points in 30 minutes against California. Price moved better against California than he had in the first game, but he struggled to move laterally on defense and was used mostly as a decoy on offense. "That's only going to take you so far." Sampson said. Price said his injury is getting better every day. "I don't think I will be 100 percent, but hopefully I'll be about 95," he said. "I don't think I will be 100 percent until after the season." Sampson said Price must be able to use his legs effectively to get his shots. A groin injury hampers that. The best cure is plenty of rest, but Oklahoma doesn't have that luxury. Price hasn't practiced since getting hurt, other than to shoot on his own and do some light running. Sampson said he would like to have Price back on the practice floor Wednesday. "Butler requires a lot of preparation because of their personnel, so we're hoping we get him to practice Wednesday and Thursday," he said. The coach said that in addition to preparing for Butler, Price needs the practice time to keep sharp. "Basketball is a game, if you don't use it, you lose it," he said. "I'm not talking about conditioning, I'm talking about skills." Point guard Quannas White said the Sooners gained confidence by playing well last weekend with Price limited and forward Kevin Bookout missing most of the first game with strep throat. He said Price will be important this weekend, even if the team's shooting guard isn't at his best. "If he's 85 percent, 75 percent, 100 percent, it doesn't matter," White said. "As long as he's on the court it's going to give our team tremendous confidence." Player 'biting nails' about making roster The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. — Infielder Jarrod Patterson has endured 10 years in the minor leagues to play in 13 major league games. But after a successful spring, Patterson could make his way onto the Kansas City Royals' opening day roster. Patterson entered yesterday hitting .458 with two home runs and seven RBI in 15 spring exhibition games. "I'm biting my nails right now," Patterson said. "In my opinion, I've had one of the best spring trainings I could possibly have." In 912 minor league games, Patterson has a career average of .300 and has 101 home runs. "There's no question about it, the guy can hit," said Royals manager Tony Peña. "He has a chance just to be a left-handed hitter off the bench. He's been working very hard on his defense. He needs work at third base, but he's a bat." Said general manager Allard Baird. "We think he can hit major league pitching." While Patterson's bat is an asset, his glove might be a liability. He is competing with Mendy Lopez, who is better defensively and can play all the infield positions plus the outfield, and Brandon Berger, who is a right-handed hitting outfielder, for the final roster spot for a position player. K-State out of NCAA tourney The Associated Press MANHATTAN, Kan. — Notre Dame pulled off another NCAA tournament upset on another opponent's home court. La Tania Severe scored 17 points and 11th-seeded Notre Dame made six straight free throws in the final 1:01 to beat No.3 seed Kansas State 59-53 last night in the second round of the East Regional. Notre Dame (21-10) frustrated a team that had been averaging 75 points a game with an active zone defense and patient offense and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the fifth time in seven years. The Irish will play second-seeded Purdue in the regional semifinals Sunday in Dayton, Ohio. Even with its potent offense, Kansas State (29-5) couldn't recover after going 12:44 without a field goal and had a 22-game home winning streak broken. Notre Dame took advantage of the Wildcats' struggles to open a 45-38 lead on Megan Duffy's 3-pointer with 7:45 left, just enough of a cushion to hold on down the stretch. Duffy, who had been 5-for-30 from behind the arc coming in, had put Notre Dame ahead to stay at 35-32 with a 3-pointer and made four of the late free throws. Her reward will be a trip to her hometown for the next round. Kansas State, cheered on by a purple-clad crowd of 11,534 managed a late run, but Notre Dame kept making free throws every time the Wildcats got to within two points. Nicole Ohlde's layup with 28.2 seconds remaining left K-State trailing 55-53, but Duffy made two free throws to take the lead back to four. Kansas State's last hopes ended when Chelsea Domenico missed a 3-point shot and Jacqueline Batteat rebounded for Notre Dame. Severe then made two final throws. Courtney LaVere added 14 points for Notre Dame, Alicia Ratay scored 12 and Duffy 10. Laurie Koehn hit seven 3-pointers and led Kansas State with 23 points. Ohlde scored 15. Notre Dame, the 2001 national champion, had pulled off upsets on the home courts of higher seeded teams in 1997 and 1998. Thanks to their defense, the Irish did it again. Kansas State recovered from a miserable start to take a 31-26 lead on Koehn's 3-pointer with 1:40 left in the first half. But the Wildcats did not make another basket until Koehn hit a three with 8:56 left in the game. By that time, Notre Dame had built a 40-32 lead. Kansas State missed its first 11 shots of the second half and committed six turnovers in that stretch. The Wildcats shot 25 percent in the second half and 33.3 percent for the game. Chiefs player faces recovery KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes had arthroscopic surgery yesterday as part of his rehabilitation from a hip injury that caused him to miss the last two games of the 2002 season. Holmes was to return last night to Kansas City from Miami, where he had gone to see a specialist about his hip, The Kansas City Star reported on its Web site. Coach Dick Vermeil told The Star the surgery was expected to push Holmes' rehabilitation schedule back at least four to six weeks. Holmes suffered the season-ending injury in a mid- December game against Denver.

Not that he's worried. Besides, the Texas coach has beaten Gary Williams, Tom Izzo and Jim Calhoun at various stops in his career. Only now the stakes are a lot higher. "We're on center stage," he said. Of the 16 teams still playing in the NCAA tournament, several have coaches whose names are synonymous with success: Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Arizona's Lute Olson and Kansas' Roy Williams, to name a few. But with four victories in the next two weeks, several other coaches could build reputations that would last a lifetime — Barnes, Notre Dame's Mike Brey and Butler's Todd Lickliter are among them. Barnes is a veteran of 16 seasons with successful stops at Providence, Clemson and now at Texas, where the Longhorns earned a berth in the round of 16 in consecutive seasons for the first time in school history. The Longhorns are the No. 1 seed in the South Regional. Texas plays Connecticut on Friday night at San Antonio, followed by Maryland against Michigan State. Connecticut's Calhoun (1999), Michigan State's Izzo (2000) and Maryland's Williams (2002) have won three of the last four titles. In an atmosphere where the coaches often dominate the scene, Barnes said he would try to keep the attention focused on his players more than himself. "I want the identity of the program to be about the players," Barnes said. "It will be like that as long as I'm at Texas." During the regular season, top teams can count on a number of victories against less-talented opponents. The tournament can be a coach's time to shine. He can't make the shots or grab the rebounds, but he can make the substitutions, call the defenses and draw up the plays that make the difference between a one-point win or a loss. Krzyzewski, who has won three national titles, said tournament experience can give a coach an edge, whether it's in the nuances of the game or just keeping a team emotionally in check. "I've coached in 75 games in the NCAAs," Krzyzewski said. "That's a lot of games to learn, and you try to use that experience to see if it helps. "That's not being arrogant because anybody can beat anybody in this tournament — anybody," he said. "That fear, that sense of urgency, if you can get that across to your team along with enthusiasm and competitiveness you've got a chance. That's how we prepare." Izzo said he was overwhelmed by his first tournament in 1998 when the Spartans lost to North Carolina in the round of 16. "Since then, I've at least had a clue of what to expect," he said. Logistical experience, such as "There's some Hollywood coaches and there's ball coaches. Ball coaches aren't going to get distracted." Kelvin Sampson Oklahoma coach just knowing where to sleep and how to get to the games, also is important, Izzo said. Among active coaches with at least 10 NCAA tournament games, his winning percentage of .818 (18-4) is the best. Teams should get ticket requests done early and make sure the hotel is near the arena, he said. At Izzo's first Final Four, in 1999 at St. Petersburg, Fla., the Spartans' hotel was a 90-minute drive from the arena. Oklahoma coach Kelvin "I found out the other three teams were staying much closer," Izzo said. "I felt like a sucker after that experience." Sampson took the Sooners to the Final Four last season and they're the top seed this year in the Midwest. Sampson said that while some juggling may be required, a coach must focus on the game." "There's some Hollywood coaches and there's ball coaches. Ball coaches aren't going to get distracted," Sampson said. "It doesn't matter if you're Mike Brey or Lute Olson. He's coaching his team, he's taking them to an arena, he's going to play a game. Notre Dame is the fifth seed in the West Regional in Anaheim, Calif., where the Fighting Irish will play top-seeded Arizona. Brey went to the Final Four six times as an assistant at Duke but this is his first regional semifinal as a head coach. "I think as long as you've been there in some way, shape or form, you're OK. I've been part of the NCAA tournament so much and some deep runs, so that helps me prepare," Brey said. "If you never were part of it as assistant or player, you probably would be a little wide-eyed and distracted," Brey said. "I've done this dance a few times." Izzo said experienced players ultimately make the biggest difference. Nine of this year's final 16 teams made it to this round in last season's tournament. Williams is back with a Maryland team that won the national title last year. Well, sort of. The Terps won it all, but guard Steve Blake is the only returning starter. Kansas got to the Final Four last year and heads to the round of 16 with a lineup built around two savvy seniors, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, that any coach would love to have. "I've never won it before. I want to, but I never have," Barnes said. "I'll tell you this, they've won it, but they want to win it again." Barnes also said a national title shouldn't define greatness in a coach. "There are guys who will never get a chance but are great coaches," Barnes said. "I hope I'm going to have a lot of chances." golf tips fore free Learn how to drive something other than a cart to the green Learn how to drive something other than a cart to the green Register for a free evaluation and video swing analysis on Friday, March 28 from 1-4p.m. Limited space Call 864-9592 to Register Sponsored by the Watkins Memorial Health Center Physical Therapy Dept.

Moppin finished 2-for-4 for the game with two runs and two RBI. Junior pitcher Kara Pierce picked up the victory, allowing only two earned runs and striking out six. Her overall record improved to 12-6. In the second game, it was second verse same as the first for the 'Hawks. The hits kept coming. And the long balls did, too. Kansas smacked four home runs in the game—two by Moppin, one by freshman Melaney Torres and one by junior Sandy Smith. The homers were plenty of support for pitcher Kirsten Milhoan. The senior allowed only one run with five strikeouts to raise her record to 8-2. Moppin made Kansas history in the bottom of the sixth inning when she rocketed the ball over the right center wall. The home run gave her eight on the year, tying the freshman home run record of Keli May set in 1980. In addition, the blast gave Kansas 28 home runs on the season. That's just four away from the school record of most home runs in a season — a record set by last year's squad. "Everything we're doing in practice is paying off," Moppin said. "It's kind of a domino effect. Once one player gets a hit, every one starts getting them." Bunge credits a large part of her team's home run hitting and success at the plate in general to the team's hitting coach, Julie Wright. She points out that compared to last year's team, the makeup of the lineup has been completely changed. Last year, her lineup was mostly filled with left-handed, speedy hitters. This year, Kansas features seven right-handers that can hit for power. Bunge said. The Jayhawks will need to continue swinging a hot bat if they wish to get to capture their first conference victory at Iowa State on Saturday, part of a two-game series in Ames. Despite all of Kansas's success and national rankings, the 'Hawks are still 0-4 in Big 12 Conference play after being swept by No. 18 Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. "We know and we understand that we started out with two of the toughest teams in the league," Bunge said. "But we also know there are no easy wins in the Big 12. We need those two wins." - Edited by Christy Dendurent number one seeds. Kansas got the two seed and was shipped off to the west. Final Four CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Digger Phelps, ESPN basketball analyst said during the ESPN tournament selection show that Kansas should have been a No.1 seed. Phelps claimed that because Kansas won the conference and defeated Texas head-tohead, Kansas and Oklahoma should have been the No.1 seeds from the Big 12. Phelps could not be reached for comment. "The number one seeds all deserved them, and we were left out of that group." Collison said. "But get beat at any seed and you're done, so we've got to be ready to play." Several factors influence the committee's decisions, and the Ratings Percentage Index is only a small part of that, Weiberg said. The RPI is a combination of schedule strength. The committee also looks at head-to-head play and passed victories or losses against certain teams. For Nick Collison, Kansas basketball player, said that the seeding process was difficult. instance, Colorado was helped by victories over Kansas and Texas, but hurt by losses to Kansas State, Iowa State and Nebraska. When decisions become close with bubble teams—teams that have a slim chance of making the cut—the committee will often look at the team's past 8 to 10 games as an indicator of its play down the stretch. The committee votes for the 34 at-large bids through a few ballots, and they put up a list on a board of potential teams. Slowly teams are added and subtracted until all of the slots are filled. After that, the seeding begins and the bracket is filled out. In a typical Dick Vitale moment during the selection show, he screamed second guesses into the cameras, "Auburn shouldn't even be in the tournament, baby." After two victories, including an upset over No.2 Wake Forest, Auburn is one of 16 teams left standing and just two short victories from the Final Four. As Collison said, once the bracket is filled out, it is up to the players to play the games. Edited by Leah Shaffer Sporting events provide distraction from war By Matthew Muench University Daily via U-wire Texas Tech LUBBOCK, Texas — Eight-year old Miles Hancock waved a small American flag Saturday at Dan Law Field minutes before Texas Tech Red was to play baseball against A&M. "I love baseball," he said. "I wanted to see baseball today." The youngster was one of many. His mother, Sara Hancock, a Lubbock, Texas, resident, said she wanted to get away from the television, the radio and the Internet that were flowing with news about the war in Iraq. Her son had the same idea. "He asked me why cartoons were not on (Saturday)," she said. "I told him, and I don't think he really understands. But coming to a sporting event helps you forget about what is going on. It eases your mind a little bit." Texas Tech junior Ryan Ross said, "I am in support of the war, and I really feel for the soldiers and families. But Tom Brokaw's voice was starting to get in my dreams, and all I wanted to do was watch what was happening. "Watching basketball is getting my mind away from Iraq," he said. "Even if I had to come by myself. I thought about going to see a movie, but I think basketball will do the trick a little bit better." During the three baseball games and two basketball games, fans stood up for a moment of silence. During March 19's basketball game,the first bomb was dropped in Iraq, and at halftime, President George W. Bush's address to the nation was aired on Raider Vision. It has been a difficult time to play, coach Bob Knight said, but he thinks playing is good for the public. "There is not a person in America that has access to a television set at anytime whether at work or at home or wherever that hasn't been glued to the television set with what goes on," he said. "Every time there is an American causality, your heart stops a little bit. I think people have watched that all day, and they come see some recreational enjoyment to see us play." Knight said he was glad sporting events were not canceled. "Next to staying alive, our service people over there are paying attention to the NCAA tournament," he said. "A lot of them are watching the NIT, and a hell of a lot of them will be glued to the opening of Major League Baseball. These [sporting events] need to be going on for everybody's sake." "Right here," Lubbock resident William Baled said at the baseball game. "This is America. Baseball is the pastime of this country. And I tip my hat to all those soldiers fighting for us. Although watching this helps me get away from the tube, I still have my mind on them." His son, Ryan Baled, a high school student, said he felt badly for coming to the games. "I kind of feel selfish," he said. "I get to do this while they are dropping bombs and firing weapons." Course conflicts? Need one last course? Enroll anytime!

The ratio is too much of a disparity, said Scott McKenzie, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator. Two Student Senate committees passed a petition with no objections to abolish University Senate, a governing body of more than 1,000 faculty and students. University Senate has met quorum only twice in its history, according to student senators. Lisa Roberts, Lawrence Alternative High School student, finishes her mythology homework in South Park, where she has been living for four nights in a tent with other supporters of Lawrence Freestate Against the War. The group members have been camping out at South Park and have declared themselves symbolically ceded from the Union since Saturday and plan on staying there for an indefinite period. "University Senate is broken, and this is one way to fix it," said Amy Cummins, graduate senator. The petition abolishes the body and hands over its functions and responsibilities to University Council, a governing body comprised of about 50 faculty, staff and students. Andy Knopp, University Council vice president and business senator; said the council represented the University better than University Senate because it included better ratios of faculty to students as well as incorporating classified and unclassified staff. Knopp said he supported the petition. He said University Senate had a ceremonial function, but the council should be STUDENT SENATE COMMITTEE VOTING A bill passed to raise campus transportation fees to $18 from $16 for Saferide expansion.

Logan. Logan was student body president from 1951 to 1952 and was dean of the School of Law at age 32.

The bill also said the name recommendation must have Student Senate approval. For more Student Senate coverage, see page 8A. the top governing body.

Edited by Julie Jantzer Camp in violation Protesters in South Park defy ordinances concern causes city to ask group to leave By Jessica Hood jhood@kansan.com Kansas staff writer A tent encampment in South Park protesting the war in Iraq is violating city ordinances and causing city concern. Lawrence officials were unsure of what to do initially, but the city will be asking the tent encampment to leave, said Mike Wildgen, city manager. "We'll be asking them to leave the area because it is an active park." Wilden said. "They had a chance to make their point, but it can't continue to be made in the city park. The camp part will have to stop." Recreation Department. The second prohibits individuals from occupying or being present in any park during the hours of 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. The tent encampment is violating two city ordinances. The first prohibits the promotion of events designed for profit or to attract the public unless a permit is granted by the Lawrence Parks and Fred Devictor, director of parks and recreation, said the group had not filed for the permits, and for this kind of event, the department would not have allowed the permits. "We're trying to work through it diplomatically." Devictor said. "We're trying to work through the process to have them vacate the park peacefully." Devictor said the campers had not been asked to leave as of yesterday afternoon. Holly Charleton, Lawrence resident, said some campers probably would leave with continued pressure. "But some will probably fight to the end." she said. The department has received a lot of calls about the camp in the park. Devictor said. It is denying the use of space in the park to the public. Devictor said. "I would prefer they wouldn't be there now." Devictor said. "We definitely don't want to see them there two or three weeks from now." Wildgen said the department was trying to be tactful. "We're not anxious to confront people in a situation that will cause a big ruckus." Wildgen said. "But they need to respect the law." Wildgen said future protesters should communicate their plans with the city and stay in touch with public safety to let it help with the plan and deal with traffic issues. "We can deal with potential problems if we know ahead of time," he said. WHY FOOD FALLS LOVE WHITE MAN'S BURGER WAG THE DOG Video rental new release from war - Edited by Julie Jantzer By Lauren Bristow Ibristow@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Photo illustration by Brandon Baker/Kanse Imagine just shutting off a graphic war movie only to see casualties of a real war on CNN. Video rentals create a distraction from current events for students and residents in Lawrence. Liberty Hall manager David Nickol said rentals were a bit slower than usual, but those who were renting picked up four or five movies at a time. This scene was reality for Janele Huelat, Pittsburg sophomore, after she finished Black Hawk Down this weekend. Huelat chose to watch a movie — even a graphic war movie — this weekend because she had gotten to the point when the war coverage on television was just too much, she said. "I just needed some entertainment," she said. "I didn't pick a war movie because it was a war movie. I had heard mixed reviews about it, and I didn't want a chick flick." "I thought to myself, 'My God, is that what it really like over there?' she said. Other students have also turned to movies as a way to escape from the constant coverage of the war with Iraq. "There's only so much you can watch," Pat Bramlett, Kansas City sophomore, said. "My girlfriend and I have watched three or four movies in the past week just to turn the coverage off." Video rental stores in Lawrence have reported divided results in sales. David Nickol the manager of Liberty Hall Video, 642 Massachusetts St., said rentals were a bit slower than usual but attributes that to the recent nice weather. But those who are renting seem to stock up. "The people that are renting movies are renting four or five at a time," Nickol said. "The renters have mentioned that they are trying to escape the war coverage." Customers are also steering away from By Kelley Weiss By Kelley Weiss kweiss@kansan.com Kansan staff writer As the war in Iraq continues, the University of Kansas community is finding ways to cope with the stresses of war. Counselors at the University are offering their services and teachers are encouraging discussion of the war in class. But students find that simply getting back to the school routine or talking with friends and family to be the most helpful in dealing with war. "We pray for them together and talk about if we've heard from them," Coots said. "I'm more comfortable talking to people I know, but I think Melissa Coots, Lansing freshman, has two friends in Iraq. Coots said she often worried about her friends but had found ways to cope by talking with her sister, who also knows people fighting in Iraq now. it's a good idea for CAPS to be offering services because some people don't have support systems here." Pam Botts, associate director of Counseling and Psychological Service, said there were several ways for people to deal with the war, including eating regularly, getting enough sleep, and avoiding the constant news coverage. She said the news can cause more tension, and students should busy themselves doing activities they enjoy. Going on with daily life and having fun is something students should not feel guilty about, Botts said. "It's not being disloyal to do the jobs we are supposed to be doing — being students," she said. Botts said even if the United States is not attacked in retaliation, the duration of the war could intensify stress. Wyatt Cobb, Prairie Village senior.

Participants compete in two areas: a written test and a case study. There are three categories in which they can compete: international business, business finance and e-commerce, Kristopher Kennedy, director of public relations for KU Marketing Club, said. The competition is open to all students, not just business majors, Kennedy said. "The thing about marketing is everything in the world has to deal with business," he said. "Having some base knowledge of what marketing is about is pretty important." The judges, all of whom are from major companies, will return to campus later in the semester to hire or recruit interns, Kennedy said. "If the participant can actually impress that judge, they have a good chance of getting an internship or job," he said. Tomorrow is the deadline to register online at www.ku.edu/~ama. The cost is $20. Amy Potter Sorority seeks baby items to donate to local center Zeta Phi Beta sorority will be holding its third annual Operation Baby Blue diaper and formula drive. Members will be collecting baby products through April 28 and donating them to the Elizabeth Ballard Community Center to help local families. "I called different organizations to see what they needed, and they were always out of diapers and baby products," said Enjoli Dixon, Lawrence senior and drive organizer. Products such as baby food, clothing, linens, diapers and baby formula can be dropped off in the fourth floor lobby of the Kansas Union, the Office of Multicultural Affairs or the National Pan-Hellenic Council office. The group will also have a table set up in the fourth floor lobby in the Kansas Union next week to collect the items. Jessica Palimenio LARWENCE Firing of local police officer upheld by city manager The decision to fire a Lawrence police officer accused of misleading a judge has been upheld again, this time by the city manager. Stuart "Mike" Peck, 38, was fired Feb. 10 after a Douglas County judge decided that Peck had withheld information about a confidential source on a search warrant application. Lawrence City Manager Mike Wildgen said Monday that he upheld a grievance committee's unanimous backing of Police Chief Ron Olin's decision to fire Peck. Peck said he planned to appeal the decision to the Lawrence City Commission. Since Peck's dismissal, at least 24 criminal cases in which he was a key witness have been dismissed. Representatives applaud rejection of French investing TOPEKA—Responding to France's opposition to the war in Iraq, the Kansas House approved a proposal Tuesday night to lessen economic ties with the European nation. The proposal prohibits the state pension fund for teachers and government workers from investing its funds in any French company or any firm with a subsidiary or affiliate operating in France. The House added the measure to a proposed state budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The amendment was sponsored by Rep. Larry Powell, (R-Kalvesta), and passed on a voice vote. "This amendment sends a message to the troops overseas that we're not going to put up with France's games," Powell said. There was no debate on Powell's amendment, and House members applauded, cheered and hooted in agreement when a clerk read it out loud.

Brandon Baker/Kansar Drew Thomas, Hays senior, is running for student body president with the Delta Force coalition. Thomas started his lifelong history of leadership in the fourth grade as president of a neighborhood Nintendo club. SOCIAL CHALLENGES Running for student body president with Delta Force stems from a long interest in politics, which began when his step-grandfather, Dan Johnson, (R-Hays), was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives in 1996. "I think everybody should be interested in the government," Johnson said. "Whatever I did that got him involved, and I don't have a clue what it was, must have been a good thing." In high school, Thomas, Hays senior, was voted "Most Likely to Become the Next U.S. President." The title was a contest between Thomas and classmate Steve Elliott. Elliott ended up winning "Most Likely to Become a Millionaire." "We decided he was going to fund my campaign if I ever did run, or at least help." Thomas said. Thomas isn't running for national presidency any time soon, but he has been dubbed as a "little Bill Clinton." As he sat on his front porch earlier this week, Thomas' roommates described him in three words: William Jefferson Clinton. Thomas Meet the Candidates Editor's note: To prepare students for Student Senate elections, The University Daily Kansan will profile each coalition's presidential and vice-presidential candidates still remembers the Clinton-Gore theme song of 1992, Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop," and can sing it on cue. When Thomas came to the University of Kansas, he knew that he'd be involved with politics. The political science and international studies major interned at the Kansas Senate as a sophomore and helped the Kansas Democratic Party in Topeka during the 2002 elections. He tried Student Senate his freshman year and was hooked when the fifth Delta Force coalition won the presidency with Justin Mills and Kyle Browning in 2001. The day after they won, Thomas woke up at 6 a.m. to grab piles of The University Daily Kansan. The issue read "Delta Force Wins" in a banner headline with a beaming Mills gesturing No. 1. A framed copy hangs in Thomas' living room. Now Thomas is running his own campaign with running mate Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence junior. He's recruited his little sister, Dina, to come to Wescoe Beach and help campaign during the last leg of the elections. She began the campaign at the Delta Force kick-off party where her brother surprised her by singing her "Happy Birthday," on her 18th. Because of his lack of ability, singing has since been banned from the campaign. Dina Thomas said her brother has always been the leader of the group, dating back to the neighborhood Nintendo club. About 10 or 12 kids from the block voted Thomas Nintendo club president. The club had meetings in Thomas' basement — even keeping minutes — to discuss what were the best games. "I was a big fan of Ghosts and Goblins, but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 was my favorite," he said. — Edited by Michelle Burhenn The Princeton Review Amazon Science Books, Scholars ClassSize - 8 GRE Classes at KU Starting Soon! - Maximum of eight students in a class - Expert, enthusiastic instructors - Guaranteed satisfaction - Free extra help with your instructor Space is limited.

A state university is just that. The cost of educating its students is heavily subsidized by the state government. Those same governments exist for the benefit and protection of its citizens. Noncitizens should not necessarily be treated with open hostility, but at the same time they should not be given an overly generous cornucopia of privileges. In this sweeping form, the bill is unacceptable only those immigrants in the immediate process of naturalization should be allowed the tuition break. The United States is a wonderful land of opportunity and we can scarcely blame those in other countries for coming here by any means they can. In fact, we should do everything we can to welcome immigrants as productive members of our society. They, in return, should do something for us. Become citizens. That is to say that immigrants who wish to get a cheap education and have a safe, prosperous life should return the favor by being willing to serve and defend the country that will give them these things. Naturalization can be an arduous process. The INS helpsheet says it can take as long as two years. Because of the time frame, any illegal alien who is in the immediate process of becoming a citizen should be considered for in-state tuition. The wall over which aliens must climb to get in-state tuition should not be one of bureaucracy,only loyalty.

See beyond the mere appearances conveyed in today's rhetorical landscape. Watching Star Wars could even be a start. These kinds of phrases make me believe that the current war of words between the two dominant political parties stands for nothing more than a perpetual divorce-settlement case over the country itself. Business and reason in politics have been replaced by pure emotion. And what better function of language than to play on the basest emotions of the American voter: fear and hatred of the unknown. Pauzauskie is a Topeka junior in biology and English. Politicians play to base emotion "uh, not sure yet, probably some more democracy and probably an extended membership to the Middle East oil-puddle club"). The list could go on.

For those of you still caught in the fmire of political self-definition, take head of the rhetorical means by which politicians seek your allegiance. Media and administration catch phrases have gone too far and have become too popular today. These catch phrases stand in for what should be at least attempts at rational explanations of current policies. GUEST COMMENTARY Politicians have always needed a considerable amount of performance. Don't be mistaken. Today, political parties — most notably the right-wing Republican sect — have inundated the public with both sound bytes and visual manipulation of which students must take heed before beginning to lean toward either party. For example, today Americans are expected to understand that we fight the omnipresent threat of the "Axis of Evil." This phrase, perhaps the most irresponsible noise ever uttered by a self-respecting president, stands as the rhetorical flagship for a manipulative war being waged on the American voter. Put simply, even George Lucas could do better. He did do better. He imagined his villains with more humanity and subtlety than our president's speech writers.

PERSPECTIVE Third parties need voices heard in campaigns As the race for next year's presidential election has already begun, Indecision 2000 is still fresh in the minds of many. It will likely go down as an historic election, but, sadly, for all the wrong reasons. Before the dwindling few take to the voting booths in 2004, it behooves our democracy to better understand the elections system, correct its failings and maybe, just maybe, actually get out there and vote. So, for your edification and entertainment, I have devised a crash-course on what's wrong with the elections process and what we can do to make it better. Here's how a typical campaign runs. Step 1: Run opinion polls to determine what people want you to say on the campaign. Step 2: Prove to big donors that you are a contender; gain massive funding from large corporations and other special interests for transportation and television time. Step 3: Limit all of your speeches and commercials to what the public wants to hear. Step 4: Get elected by any means necessary. Step 5: Pay back Steve Ducey opinion@hansan.com I am not sure who I am. I'm a man of many colors and stories. My life is full of experiences, adventures, and challenges. I'm a person who is always ready to learn and grow. I am also a person who is passionate about the world around me. I am a person who is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of others. COMMENTARY Now, if we remember correctly, both George W. Bush and Al Gore received millions of dollars from corporate special interests and led middle-of-the-road campaigns with the occasional disparity of policy for the sake of maintaining a separate identity. This drive toward the center made for one of the closest elections in U.S. history, so close that, after being called three times, we still did not have a winner until weeks after the polls closed. Until then, the media were awash with reports of shady activities in the Florida elections process including tales Those tired of choosing a lesser of two Homogenization of parties and corporate back-scratching are hardly the kinds of things that we as voters should stand for, and can hardly be called democratic. No wonder voter turnouts are reaching all-time lows. Now that we know why the system stinks, it remains for us to clean it up. of black voters deterred from voting in key areas of the state and the dreaded hanging chads. Once Bush finally took office, he rewarded his buddies at Enron and Arthur Anderson by including them in his staff (funny that no one seems to care that those responsible for one of the biggest corporate scandals in history still hold seats of power within our government). Furthermore, Bush, as I am sure his "liberal" counterpart would have done, implemented policy reforms to the benefit of his corporate donors, most notably his reversal of environmental standards in the Clean Air and Water Acts, all in direct opposition to his campaign promises. evils are dying for more choice. Therefore, steps must be taken to ensure more variety in U.S. politics. First, third parties must be integrated into the debates to decrease domination of the center and framing of issues. Another key step would be proportional representation in the electoral college, whereby if a third party candidate gets 20 percent of the vote, that candidate gets 20 percent of the available electors. This is already in place in many European countries and allows for a much more democratic system wherein parties have principles that define them from their counterparts, not animal mascots. If we want to avoid the appalling spectacle of the 2000 election, we must reestablish the legitimacy of our democracy by taking power away from the corporate-friendly, moderate superparty. The best way to do that is to empower third parties and thereby give the voters a choice. --- Ducey is an Overland Park sophomore in philosophy. Y THURSDAY,MARCH 27,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 5A Stock market losses affect Endowment Association By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Although the stock market has been dropping for the past three years, the Kansas University Endowment Association hasn't felt the pinch until now. Its effort to curb the effects of the slumping stock market will mean less spending money, which could affect faculty salaries and assistance that deans have come to count on. Losses Every February, the University's Endowment Association recalculates the spending amount that invested funds provide to the University for the next school year. These funds help pay for scholarships, fellowships and faculty awards. In a memo from Dale Seuferling, association president, to fund account representatives, Seuferling said "current spending must be reduced." The result of last month's recalculation was a 20 percent loss in money available to spend from the permanent, endowed funds. The cut was announced in late February. In a response memo to the University community, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said, "I believe this change is a prudent course of action, but it will mean a significant reduction in spending." With endowed funds, the entire amount is invested and only the income produced through investment returns is used for the purpose specified by the donor, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association. The Endowment Association's policy has been a payout of about 6 percent, with 1percent covering administrative costs and 5 percent towards professors and participants. This spending rate will not change. The Endowment Association is also affected by the spending cuts. Scarffe said the Endowment Association had two staff layoffs, and several positions would go unfilled. The Endowment Association is also in the process of figuring out a budget for next year that incorporates the 20 percent cut. Investment strategy Of the Endowment Association's total assets, more than 70 percent represent major investment programs. Endowed funds and other long-term funds are collectively invested in the Endowment's Long-term Investments Program. It consists of nine investments managed by fund managers that each specialize in one of the nine. "Most of our funds are invested in equities, or stocks, and not as much in bonds," Scarffe said. "Over the long term, our investments in equities do well." By the end of January, the Endowment Association had spent 58 percent more than the same time during the previous year "When our financial committee sat down to calculate how much funding would be available for next year, it became really obvious that if we continued to spend at that rate, we would cut into the principle amount and the principle would start to go away," Scarfe said. The Endowment Association's long-term investments in fiscal year 2002 experienced a loss of 7.9 percent. Over a 10-year period, however, its average investment performance was up 10.1 percent annually. Therefore, the investments are still performing better than expected. "We could sell our stock, but then you just lose what you have when you do that," Scarfe said. "Our philosophy is to ride out the stock market, so in the long term, we come out better." The Endowment Association's assets totaled $887.8 million for fiscal year 2002, a decrease in value of 7 percent. This decline was caused by the poor condition of the stock market, which resulted in lower contribution revenue and high investment losses. according the Endowment Association's Annual Report 2002. The Endowment Association's funds are not completely tied to the stock market, though. The ongoing construction projects, such as the new engineering building, will not be affected by the cut in available endowed funds. The money for these projects comes from expendable funds that are not invested in the stock market. "A significant amount is not tied into endowed funds," Scarfe said. "There is cash we manage and real estate that is not affected by endowed funds." Reactions and solutions Of 153 University employees making $100,000 or more yearly. 55 are faculty whose salaries are supplemented by the Endowment Association. These faculty members are often distinguished professors and endowed chairs. The supplemental money came from the permanent, endowed funds that were cut. Although Scarfe said he empathized with the deans and faculty members affected, the money just wasn't available. William Barnett, distinguished professor of economics, is partially paid by Endowment Association private funds. Barnett said the dean of liberal arts and sciences, Kim Wilcox, would meet with all distinguished professors May 2. The meeting will be an update on the college and include budget planning. "We're meeting with the dean in a couple of weeks, but until then I just don't know what's going on," Barnett said. The Endowment Association will increase its efforts to raise expendable funds, funds that won't be affected by the stock market. Scarfe said the Endowment Association would approach donors and ask them to step up and cover the shortfalls in funding. Edited by Melissa Hermrech Wartime may be good time to get into stock market Recently someone told me, "Next time we're getting ready to go to war, remind me to put all my money in the stock market." Of course that was last week, when Wall Street saw its best week in more than 20 years. But stocks plummeted Monday after news from Iraq indicated the war would be longer and bloodier than expected. Despite wavering stocks, wartime may not be a bad time to start investing. Dan Gaumer, investment adviser with Gaumer Financial Services, said the market shifted with the public's perception. But the reality of the stock market situation is surprisingly optimistic, he said. Oil, gas and banking industries are currently undervalued, giving investors the opportunity to buy low and later sell high. COMMON CENTS COMMON CENTS Although opportunities in single-stock investments are promising, Gaumer said first-time investors like students should start with mutual funds. Mutual funds are a collection of stocks that an investment company, such as a bank or brokerage, manages on behalf of investors. The advantage of mutual funds, Gaumer said, is that individuals don't have to pick and choose individual Nicole Roché nroche@kansan.com stocks. Your mother's advice holds true with investing: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversification is key when selecting stocks. Because mutual funds include 100 to 150 different stocks, your entire portfolio won't be dragged down if one or two stocks perform poorly. Roger Schenewerk, a financial adviser with David M. King & Associates Ltd., said that during wartime people generally made investment decisions based on fear or greed. Taking advantage of fluctuations in the market is dangerous for the short term, he said. Also, constant fluctuations in the market can mean stressful times for "If either of these emotions is driving your decision, you're more likely to buy when things are high and sell when things are low," Schenewerk said. "Which is the opposite of what you should be doing." people temporarily investing large amounts of money. Schenewerk also suggested a diversified, global mutual fund for students who wanted to invest for the long term. Bonds are also a less risky option for students. Now is an ideal time to purchase stocks and mutual funds because the market tends to have its most growth in April, May and November, Gaumer said. Gaumer said students should ask their brokers about the beta, or risk factor, of a stock. After buying the stock, students should re-evaluate the companies each quarter to make sure its management or philosophy hasn't changed. "You have to do your homework," he said.

Residents started keeping perishable foods, such as potatoes and onions, in plastic bins to protect them from the creatures. "It's not really gross, but it's not sanitary." Students also saw ants coming in through the sinks in the kitchen and in their rooms. The problem has prompted Anna Gregory, Independence junior, Emily Davenport Atwood sophmore to come up with her own solution. Tape now covered the sinks so ants can't get in, she said. Residents reported the infestation problem to the housing maintenance department. "We did get rid of one type of ant and now we have another type, but steps are being taken to fix it,"Kristen Baranek, Overland Park senior and hall president, said. Exterminators from the housing maintenance department have been treating common areas such as the laundry room and kitchen on a monthly basis. Vince Avila, associate director of housing maintenance, said it was not uncommon to see insects in warm damp areas such as the laundry room or in areas where food was kept. Avila said that when the bugs were found in the bathrooms and in each room, the scholarship hall director and custodial and maintenance staff members inspected the areas. They discovered the ants were entering through gaps and cracks around the bathroom fixtures. During spring break, maintenance workers patched the cracks around the toilets and bathtubs to keep the insects from entering. The housing department is expecting this step to solve the problem. "We haven't had any complaints, but students have only been back a few days," Avila said. Mom's flight attendant job helps student fly for free - Edited by Brandon Gay By Megan Hickerson mhickerson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer 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. Because of expenses, most college students can't afford to travel the globe. But this isn't a problem for Casey Meek, a sophomore from Baxter Springs. Faces in the Crowd Meek's mother has been a flight attendant since he was born. Meek's entire family flies free, and their family friends get 75 percent off airline tickets. Although her job demanded time, Meek said it didn't pose any problems when he was growing up. "By the time I was old enough, she had so much seniority that everything worked out," Meek said. Meek's first international flight was when he went to Norway when he was 10 years old. He said he had been too young then to have much appreciation for international travel, but the trip had sparked his curiosity. Because Meek has visited more than 10 countries, he has been exposed to a wide range of foreign cultures. His favorite trip was to Egypt, where he purchased two gold necklaces, which he never takes off. One has his name written in Arabic, the other in hieroglyphics. "It was cool being in a Third World country," Meek said. "It was so fast paced, and the people in Cairo were so friendly." "Casey did bring me back a cigar from Amsterdam," Sturgeon said. "I haven't smoked it yet. I'm saving it for graduation." Tim Sturgeon, Olathe senior and Meek's roommate, said he also benefited from Meek's mom's job. Joe Corcoran, a family friend, said Meek had become a more intellectual person because of his travel experiences. "He gives more insight on things because he's so well-traveled," Corcoran, Dallas sophomore, said. 3 Meek's travel opportunities are running out. The 20-year-old can use American Airlines benefits until he turns 25 although he doesn't seem too concerned. "I guess I'll just have to marry a flight attendant." he said.

Summerfield distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, is a researcher in the department of pharmaceutical chemistry. Borchardt received a $254,625 grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to continue his research on developing pain medications with little or no risk of addiction. By Amy Potter aporter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The National Institute on Drug Abuse has awarded the University of Kansas a grant of $254,625. The research funds will assist Ronald Borchardt, Solon E. Summerfield distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, in examining cyclic prodrugs of opioid peptides for the next seven years. Prodrugs are chemical derivatives of a drug, which are designed to improve a specific property of the drug. Opioid peptides are naturally-occurring molecules that are produced in the brain. They bind to brain receptors to produce effects such as pain relief. Borchardt said he didn't think about his involvement in the discovery of a drug. "I feel very good about what I have contributed in my career to thinking about how to better design drugs," he said. "Even if these molecules are administered directly into the blood stream, they do not enter the brain because of their inability to cross the so-called blood- For decades, chemists have tried to make a similar version of opioid peptides as potential drugs that could be used for pain relief, Borchardt said. Their structural features will not allow them to be absorbed in the blood after being administered orally. brain barrier," he said. Borchardt and his team of researchers are using prodrugs to disguise the opioid peptides so the body will allow access across the blood-brain barrier. "We've really contributed to the general understanding of why these molecules are so poorly absorbed," said Borchardt. "Hopefully we're designing a better strategy for the future." Bianca Liederer, Neumarkt, Germany graduate student, assists Borchardt in his research. She said opioid peptides had a broad range of potential clinical benefits. "If you can get peptides that can be given in a tablet form instead of having an injection, it would be the safest and easiest route of delivery," she said. Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said this kind of research could be beneficial in treating any kind of brain disease. Current drugs face difficulties with the blood-brain barrier. "If what he does develops, we can use it for treatment," Thrasher said. "Some diseases all we can do is treat a symptom." Thrasher said she looked forward to the end result of Borchardt's research but understood it would take time. "It may be several years down the road before I see it in prescription form." Thrasher said. - Edited by Andrew Ward THIS PHOTO IS NOT FOR SALE. Now Leasing for Fall 20031 JEFFERSON COMMONS unique student apartments Home is where your FRIENDS are.

Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Opinions on the war may differ among University of Kansas students, but members of Student Senate think they all can agree on one resolution. A resolution thanking and supporting KU students and faculty deployed in military service will likely pass Student Senate next week, after clearing committee meetings last night. The resolution, written by Brian Thomas, University affairs committee secretary, thanks "all KU students, past, present and future for their service to their country," and wishes them a safe return home. Thomas, Plano, Texas, junior, said he thought the resolution would comfort members of the KU community called into military service. "Any time you're in the military and you get well wishes from STUDENT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SENATE home it's really appreciated," he said. "That sentiment has been echoed to me by my Dad and other relatives who have served in the military." Kevin McKenzie, Association of University Residence Halls senator and one of the resolution's sponsors, said one of Senate's roles was functioning as a voice of the student body. This resolution was an example of functioning in that role, McKenzie said. "I think that the student body, even if it's not in support of the war, is supporting faculty and students who are serving in the military at the moment, McKenzie, Salina freshman, said. Earlier this month, Senate passed a resolution proclaiming support for former KU On Wheels head Mike Appleby. Appleby was called into military service in February. The resolution was initially vetoed by Student Body President Jonathan Ng but passed later on appeal. This broader proclamation of support for KU servicemen came from debate of the resolution proclaiming support for Appleby, Thomas said. During debate of the Appleby resolution, senators suggested a broader resolution proclaiming support for all KU affiliates involved in the war. Edited by Julie Jantzer CAPS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A said that after only a week of war, the stress hadn't gotten to him and he was not afraid of retaliation attacks. "When I'm watching the news with those embedded reporters, I think what I'm doing doesn't matter half as much as the life-or-death situation people in Iraq are in," Cobb said. "Making it to Coms class at 8:30 just isn't as important comparatively." Professors at the University are also dealing with the war. An e-mail was sent out from CAPS advising faculty members with advice on how to deal with the war. Tips for coping with stressful and traumatic events: Expect unusual feelings in response to such an unusual event. There is a wide range of normal reactions to abnormal events, including headaches, irritability, anger, denial, change in appetite and unusual dreams. Some of CAPS' suggestions include: avoiding debate-style arguments and domination of the discussion by one or two students; focusing classroom comments and discussion on concerns and encouraging appreciation of different points of view; focusing on how the situation personally impacts each student; and ending the discussion with a summary emphasizing common concerns and reactions you observe — such as worry or frustration. Call parents and those who are important to you. Let them know how you're doing and ask about them. Spend time with your friends. Offer support to them and accept support from them. Treat one another with respect and dignity, regardless of political perspectives or cultural background. Maintain your regular schedule as much as possible. Set aside time to think and talk about your feelings, and limit the media coverage you watch. Counseling and Psychological Services is open Monday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Source: Counseling and Psychological Services Philip Schrodt, professor of political science, teaches an introductory class in international relations in which, he said, he had not encountered any severe reactions from students. Schrodt said he used the war in Iraq as an example if it related to class discussion, but he was not focusing on the war in his teaching. The war in Iraq has caused different reactions in students than the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Schrodt said. "Everyone has been anticipating war and there have been relatively limited casualties," Schrodt said. "I don't get the shock reaction of 9/11." — Edited by Anne Mantey Sebelius' budget not liked by all The Associated Press TOPEKA — Republican leaders are unimpressed with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' plan to balance the state budget through mid-2004 by issuing bonds and speeding up collection of local property taxes. Sebelius outlined a package Tuesday designed to sustain a $10.2 billion budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Without her proposals — or some other mix of spending cuts and new revenues — the state would end its 2004 fiscal year with a constitutionally prohibited deficit of $229 million. The Democratic governor announced her plan the same day House members debated a proposed budget. Representatives approved their spending plan, 83-42, yesterday, when the Senate also was to debate its own proposed budget. Sebelius' package, which includes a gambling provision she had already endorsed, would allow the state to avoid a tax increase and protect education spending from further cuts. But Republican leaders said her proposals, which need legislative approval, would not solve the state's financial problems, only push them into the future. "It's a plan based on debt, gambling and asking people to pay their taxes a month early," said House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka). "It doesn't fix anything long-term." Senate President Dave Kerr opened an impromptu news conference by displaying a sweat shirt he once received as a gift, emblazoned with, "A politician thinks about the next election," and below it, "A statesman thinks about the next generation." "It would appear we have a governor who can't stop campaigning and has not yet begun to govern," said Kerr (R-Hutchinson). For the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, Sebelius proposes issuing $175 million in bonds backed by money from Kansas' $1.7 billion share of a 1998 settlement between states and tobacco companies. An additional $5 million would be captured through a tax amnesty program. Her proposals would also raise $224.6 million in the fiscal year that starts July 1, mostly by having Kansans pay half of their property taxes next year in May rather than June. The Democratic governor said the state must continue a "fight-fisted, sharp-pencilled" approach to its budget problems because too many Kansans were suffering in a slow economy. Sebelius' proposals would leave the state cash reserves of $75.4 million at the end of the 2003 fiscal year and $175.1 million on June 30, 2004. Such reserves are helpful when revenues fall short of expectations. The gambling proposal that Sebelius supports would allow slot machines and other electronic gambling devices at the state's five dog and horse tracks and in Dodge City if local voters approved. Developers have already agreed to pay the state a total of $30 million upfront for gambling licenses. BROTHERS Est. 1967 BAR & GRILL rence, KS 1105 Mass. Lawrence POTTERY BOX 21 to Enter NO COVER!

The 20-bed shelter will operate at 944 Kentucky St. In approving the shelter, the city commission went against the City-County planning commission's two-week-old recommendation that a use permit, a permit granted to legally occupy a building, not be granted for the shelter at that location. The commission also overrode a protest petition filed by residents in the Oread neighborhood, both of which required a majority vote of 4-1. Outgoing commissioner Marty Kennedy was the lone dissenting vote. "The planning commission didn't approve this because according to the planning commission, it doesn't meet zoning codes," Kennedy said, explaining his vote against the shelter. "This is a land-use issue, not a compassion issue." Many of the Lawrence resi. dents who addressed the city commission shared split opinions. The shelter's supporters are focused on caring for the homeless. "I think there's a real lack of services available to the homeless in this community and the open shelter really opens the door for more services," said Samantha Finke, a senior in social welfare who lives in Oread. Finke spoke at Tuesday's meeting in support of the shelter. The shelter's opponents wanted to find a way to care for the homeless without damaging the Oread neighborhood. Neighborhood association treasurer Janet Gerstner works with the city's homeless as a volunteer. Both positions give her a good perspective of the argument's two sides, she said. "I care about services for the homeless, but I care just as passionately about the neighborhood," Gerstner said. As homeless services in Oread, such as the Community Drop In Center, 214 W. 10th St., and the kitchen at First Christian Church, 1000 Kentucky St., have increased, it has become increasingly difficult for the neighborhood to support, she said. "We need to find an appropriate location for a shelter that offers adequate services, and this really isn't the place and doesn't offer enough services." Gerstner said. The open shelter is near two preschools, a busy street, businesses and homes, all of which concerned the shelter's opponents. In addition, landlords such as Peter Zacharias and Phillip Hemphill voiced concerns about damage to their rental properties and the safety of their tenants. Members of Lawrence Open Shelter Inc. understood those concerns and worked with the planning commission to reduce the length of its use permit from five years to one, said Liz Smith, biological sciences graduate student, who worked with the shelter. "We're confident that it won't bring more problems to the community but will ultimately do the opposite," said Smith. Smith said the shelter was planning to open by mid-April. The city commissioners agreed to review the shelter's use permit again in a year. Edited by Julie Jantzer Lord Wads CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A Overland Park senior, and Foertsch, Lenexa senior, from running in the student body presidential and vice presidential elections. The two came up short on signatures for their petition to put their names on the ballot. With already sunburnt faces from a long day of jousting, the two reddened a few more shades in frustration. "I come in here and try to do some good for KU, and then they try to strike me down," Wadsworth said. Presidential and vice presidential candidates must have 500 student signatures on their petition to be on the election ballot. Wadsworth and Foertsch collected 502 signatures with minutes to spare upon the deadline to turn in the petition. The commission reported that 128 of their signatures were invalid, meaning either those students weren't enrolled, some signatures were duplicates or the KUIDs didn't exist. Brandon Baker/Kansan "None of the commission wants to discourage anyone from running, but there are still rules to follow," Courtney Wachal, elections commissioner, said. Bike Tournament When the commission delivered the blow to the candidates, Foertsch could see his running mate's ears turn red. Foertsch came to his friend and said, "Don't blow your top. I found the loophole." Foertsch found in the elections code that a coalition may have four days to resubmit a petition for new candidates if the presidential or vice presidential candidate is disqualified. Wadsworth and Foertsch will swap positions with Foertsch running as a presidential candidate, which satisfies the code's wording of finding new candidates. Foertsch will now have to get 500 student signatures on his petition to be put on the ballot. Brett Wadsworth, Overland Park junior, jousts on the lawn of Strong Hall with Peter Thornhill, Mission Hills freshman. Wadsworth said yesterday that he and his running mate, Andy Foortsch, Lenexa senior, would be switching positions for candidacy for student body president and vice president under the Lord Wads and the 12 Knights of the Crusade coalition. Wachal interpreted that the code allows the swap because she said the roles of president and vice president were different. "I really want this third party in the elections because they're bringing diversity, getting a lot of press coverage and attention from campus," Wachal said. "I'm pleased that Lord Wads has the opportunity to get the signatures." The running mates said they thought this was the first victory in their crusade. "This minor setback will only strengthen our resolve," Wadsworth said. — Edited by Melissa Hermreck Video CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A war films, said Doug Redding. Liberty Hall Video assistant manager.

Slinkard and Cobb are a self-proclaimed "news junkies." "I stayed up until 4 or 5 in morning the night the war started." Cobb said. Only once since the war has started has Cobb gotten tired of coverage and turned on entertainment such as MTV for a couple of hours, he said. "This is our reality right now," Slinkard said. "It's far more interesting than watching any movie." Bill to ban Sunday liquor sales endorsed TOPEKA—AHouse committee has endorsed a bill to ban Sunday sales of packaged liquor statewide, a move intended to close what a court said is a loophole in the state's existing prohibition. The House Federal and State Affairs Committee voted 12-9 tuesday to send the bill to the full House, after rejecting a proposal to let local governments legalize Sunday sales if voters approved. The bill would also make sales of packaged alcohol legal in cities and counties unless their governing bodies prohibit such sales.

The United States may be focused on the war in Iraq, but the dual missile tests served as a reminder that the world's other conflicts continue. India yesterday also accused Pakistan of having a hand in this week's murder of 24 Hindus in disputed Kashmir, and the two countries exchanged heavy artillery across the cease-fire line dividing the Himalayan province between them. Pakistan condemned the massacre by suspected Islamic separatists and called for an independent inquiry. Analysts in Pakistan said they feared New Delhi might be trying to take advantage of the U.S.war in Iraq to ratchet up tensions over Kashmir. "There is always the danger that India will try something while the United States' attention is on Iraq. We would be foolish not to be wary," Shireen Mazari, head of Pakistan's Institute of Strategic Study, said after yesterday's tests. "If the international community does not come down hard on India, tension could rise." Ironically, one of the only things Pakistan and India have agreed on recently is their opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq. Leaders of both countries have called for a quick end to the conflict while avoiding outright criticism of Washington. The South Asian rivals have fought three wars since gaining independence from Britain in 1947 — two of them over the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir. Tension spiked following a December 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament that New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-backed Islamic militants and Pakistan's spy agency. Pakistan denied the charge. Both sides rushed hundreds of thousands of troops to the border, raising fear of a nuclear exchange, before the conflict was averted amid intense international diplomacy. Most of the troops have withdrawn, but missile tests, charged rhetoric and diplomatic expulsions continue. Yesterday, India fired first — announcing it shot off a Prithvi missile from its Chandipur testing range in the eastern state of Orissa. The missile has a range of 95 miles and can carry a nuclear payload. Pakistan followed hours later with an announcement that it tested its Abdali surface-to-surface missile, which has a range of 132 miles with similar nuclear capabilities. Officials would not give details about where or when the test was conducted. Pakistani officials complained that India had fired the Prithvi without prior warning—a breach of the normal etiquette in South Asia's complex game of nuclear bravado. Khan said India was informed Tuesday of Pakistan's plans to conduct its missile test Monday's massacre in Nadiimarg, a village in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, was one of the worst attacks on Hindus in the long Kashmir conflict. Planes attack vehicles leaving Basra The Associated Press Warplanes attacked a convoy of Iraqi armored vehicles leaving Basra under cover of sandstorms yesterday, raising hopes that British ground troops could soon enter a city feared on the verge of a humanitarian crisis. Iraq claimed American missiles killed 14 civilians in Baghdad. The possibility of a major battle loomed south of the capital as a second, far larger, Iraqi column of vehicles moved in the direction of American forces aiming for Saddam Hussein's seat of power. One week into the war, the first substantial delivery of humanitarian supplies rolled into southern Iraq, greeted at the border by hungry children. "This war is far from over," President Bush said in a quick trip to the Florida headquarters of U.S. Central Command, which is overseeing the war. Still, he said victory was only a matter of time. The Iraqis countered with a military communique of their own — nothing like Bush's assessment — reporting an unbroken string of successes. adding, "There will be a day of reckoning for the Iraqi regime, and that day is drawing near." For the second straight day, swirling sandstorms hampered American units. The bombing campaign was crimped, as well, but Baghdad television was knocked off the air for several hours, and explosions were heard, as well, near the oil-rich city of Kirkuk in the north. Harriers and Tornado jets flying out of Kuwait attacked the Iraqi convoy leaving Basra, a city of more than 1 million people in southern Iraq, according to a British military source. The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the column included as many as 120 vehicles, tanks and other armored vehicles. Irregular Iraqi troops have prevented British troops from entering Basra, Iraq's second-largest city and site of a reported uprising by local civilians against Saddam's defenders. International aid officials have repeatedly expressed fears of an outbreak of disease, given the interruption of power and water supplies. The British hit Iraqi positions in the city overnight, and said they had silenced the mortar fire being directed their way and possibly at civilians in the city. Details were sketchy, as well about Iraqi troop movements to the north. Some officials said a huge convoy of perhaps 1,000 vehicles and members of Saddam's elite Republican Guard had been moving south, in the direction of Marines making their way toward the capital of Baghdad. But Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks, briefing reporters in Qatar, said, "We've not seen any significant movements of the type of force" described. He added, though, there were "local positionings and survival positionings" of various units. Intelligence officials offered a different possibility, that paramilitary fighters, so-called Fedayeen, had been moving in recent days, traveling in pickup trucks, SUVs and other civilian vehicles. U. S. officials blame the Fedayeen units for much of the resistance that has hampered the American-led advance through Iraq, accusing them of faking surrender only to shoot Americans, using human shields or enforcing discipline among regular Iraqi army troops who may be less willing to fight. One Defense Department official said commanders were surprised by the Fedayeen's capability and that, as a result, military commanders were changing their tactics, making a great effort to defeat the Fedayeen, rather than bypass them on the way to Baghdad. Peru's ex-president on most-wanted list The Associated Press PARIS — Interpol put Peru's disgraced former president, Alberto Fujimori, on its most-wanted list yesterday, issuing a "red notice" calling for the exiled leader's arrest and extradition on murder and kidnapping charges in Peru. The move by the international police agency does not carry the force of an arrest warrant. But it could put further pressure on Japan, where Fujimori fled to escape a corruption scandal in 2000 and is protected from extradition by his Japanese citizenship. Fujimori, who as president closed down Congress and gave the army sweeping powers in a successful campaign against Maoist guerrillas, faces murder charges for allegedly authorizing death squads who massacred suspected rebel sympathizers in the 1990s. "Because Interpol was familiar with the underlying charges brought against Mr. Fujimori, the organization was able to satisfy itself quickly that all the relevant legal requirements for a 'red notice' request had been satisfied by Peru," the Lyon-based police agency said in a statement. The notice, which was requested by Peru, means Fujimori's appearance, identity and details of the charges against him will be posted on Interpol's Web site. The "red notice" status puts Fujimori on Interpol's equivalent of a most-wanted list. Fujimori took office in 1990 and launched a harsh but victorious military crackdown against the leftist Shining Path guerrilla group. But he was criticized for anti-democratic moves, alleged human rights abuses and rampant corruption. Fujimori, who was born in Peru to Japanese immigrants, fled to Japan in November 2000 as scandal toppled his decade-long regime. Peru has pushed for Fujimori's extradition, but Japanese officials originally argued that his Japanese citizenship — established after his arrival — protected him. Since then, however, Tokyo has requested a Japanese translation of the Peruvian criminal charges and other documents from Lima as a condition for considering the request. Peru has not yet provided the paperwork. The Japanese government had no official reaction to the Interpol notice late yesterday, but a Foreign Ministry official said on condition of anonymity the measure was not legally binding. Since arriving in Tokyo, Fujimori has become something of a celebrity, with his love life detailed in the tabloids. The local media have speculated Fujimori, who formed close ties with Tokyo during his 1990-2000 presidency, could even seek political office in Japan. Fujimori has used his "From Tokyo" Web site to claim he is the target of political persecution and to argue that the accusations lack proof and credible witnesses.

The new numbers raised the worldwide death total from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, to 51, with 1,325 cases since mid-November. Until now, Chinese authorities said only five people had died from a pneumonia-like illness that struck southern Guangdong province. The new count of 34 includes three deaths in Beijing. "Everything we've seen so far indicates it's the same disease," said Dr. Meirion Evans, member of a World Health Organization team that has studied the cases in southern China. "We're getting a more complete picture. It's certainly been one of the objectives of the mission to clarify whether the outbreak in China was the same disease as what's been seen outside of China." For weeks, Chinese officials said only 305 people were sickened in an outbreak that started in November. But a spokeswoman for the Guangzhou city government, who identified herself only by the surname Ye, said yesterday that 792 cases of atypical pneumonia were reported in the province by the end of February, putting the worldwide case number at more than 1,300. Health authorities in Hong Kong have said the disease spread when a sick Beijing professor stayed at the Metropole Hotel in late February, infecting six other guests, who then carried it to Singapore, Vietnam and Canada. WHO scientists say the disease spreads when victims cough or sneeze in close contact with oth- ers.Most SARS victims have been family members of those who have the disease or health workers treating them. But the spread among strangers in the Hong Kong hotel and among nine tourists on a March 15 China Air flight from Hong Kong to Beijing has heightened fears. Numerous schools in Hong Kong and Singapore have closed and hospitals are straining to treat their own doctors and nurses. Hong Kong media reports say about 60 schools are closed although government officials have not confirmed that. Singapore's school closings, from daycare centers to junior colleges, will keep a half-million students temporarily out of class. "On purely medical grounds, there are currently no strong reasons for closing all schools," said Teo Chee Hean, Singapore's education minister. But he said parents are fearful. Singapore also has imposed a 10-week quarantine on 740 people exposed to the disease. The U.S.State Department is discouraging travel to Vietnam. Officials in the Philippines urged travelers from countries hit by the disease to stay home for a week. Tens of thousands of Filipinos work in Hong Kong and Singapore, many as domestic helpers. WHO officials say signs continue pointing to a virus causing the common cold as the most likely bug behind the illness. Labs for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Hong Kong University said they had found the corona virus in specimens from SARS patients. The corona virus can be blamed for about 10 percent to 20 percent of common colds. Yesterday, virus experts at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg, Germany, backed up that evidence with their own research. Wal-Mart stores thrive internationally The Associated Press MEXICO CITY — A Wal-Mart store bustles as customers roam the aisles in search of bargains and snap up free samples of tequila before bundling their purchases into waiting taxis. The activity is proof that WalMart Stores Inc. has learned how to achieve the same kind of success in its international ventures as it has in thousands of stores across the United States. Wal-Mart, which grew up in small-town America, is increasingly dependent on foreign expansion as it faces slowing growth at home. "The U.S. market is pretty saturated," said Ken Perkins, retail analyst for Thomson First Call. "Clearly, they need to expand into foreign markets to generate the ongoing growth they've had." Wal-Mart, which opened its first store in Rogers, Ark., in 1962, grew into the world's largest retailer by concentrating first on small, rural towns where it had little competition. Its trademark yellow smiley face, low prices and focus on customer service were later introduced to larger U.S. cities and then abroad, to Mexico Canada, Puerto Rico, Argentina Brazil, Britain, Germany, South Korea, Japan and China. "The majority of what I look for is here. They have specials, and the prices in general are more accessible. This is where I save money," said Enrique Flores, a government worker shopping at the Mexico City store. Although Wal-Mart built its business from scratch in the United States, in overseas markets it starts out by purchasing already successful local chains. It also differentiates its foreign stores from its U.S. outlets, buying at least 80 percent of its merchandise from nearby vendors to keep costs down and cater to customers. In Mexico, where 90 percent of merchandise is bought locally, bakery staples include freshly made tortillas and, around the Day of the Dead holiday in November, "bread of the dead." In Argentina, the clothing department stocks school uniforms. "By going global, we have an opportunity to understand who the local manufacturers are," said Ray Bracy, vice president of international corporate affairs for the Bentonville, Ark.-based WalMart. "And we can explore whether they can support us globally." Forty percent of Wal-Mart's 1,270 foreign stores are in Mexico. Inside the United States. Wal-Mart has more than 3,400 stores. Overseas growth has not been trouble-free. In Germany, Walmart lost a long court battle with regulators over selling staple foods below wholesale prices. In Puerto Rico, the government tried to block its purchase of a local supermarket chain, arguing that it violated antitrust laws. Even in Mexico — where real estate billboards brag: "Houses in front of Wal-Mart!" — the federal antitrust agency ordered the retailer to subscribe to a code of conduct for its dealings with suppliers. But the company's international operations grew 11.4 percent during the fiscal year that ended in January, and generated $41 billion in sales, or 17 percent of the company's total income. In South Korea alone, the chain reported $340 million in sales in 2001,up 40 percent from the year before. Asia is a big focus for the company. In December, Wal-Mart announced it was raising its stake in the Japanese supermarket chain Seiyu to 34 percent to become the top shareholder. Two months earlier, it said it planned to open an unspecified number of stores in Shanghai, adding to the 22 stores already in China that draw huge crowds of customers. The plan is part of Wal-Mart's desire to not only export from China, but set up shop there. It says it imports $12 billion a year in goods from China, and now wants to sell those products in the country's developing consumer market. In Mexico, there is little resentment that a U.S.-owned company is the largest retailer, competing with stores like Costco and French supermarket giant Carrefour. On weekends, the complexes fill with shoppers attracted by low prices and promotions that include everything from clowns to small amusement-park rides. The Associated Press Ijaw militant group calls for cease-fire in electoral conflict LAGOS, Nigeria — Ijaw militants battling soldiers and tribal enemies in Nigeria's oil-rich delta region called for a cease-fire yesterday after they said state officials agreed to support their political demands. Bello Oboko, president of the militant Federated Niger Delta Ijaw Communities, whose fighters have spent two weeks battling government troops and rival Itsekiris, said Delta State governor James Ibori agreed Tuesday to help renegotiate electoral boundaries the Ijaws say favor their enemies. At least 100 people, including 10 soldiers, have been killed in the fighting. Many witnesses say the actual death toll is far higher. Twenty-five villages — 15 Itsekiri and 10 Ijaw have either been partially or completely destroyed since fighting began March 12. Ibori "promised to meet our political demands and prevail on the military not to launch reprisal attacks against Ijaw communities;" Oboko told The Associated Press. The Ijaws were prepared to stop fighting "in order to help Ibori intervene" on their behalf, Oboko said. "Our people are in the area talking to the people involved," Rilwanu Lukman, President Olusegun Obasanjo's energy adviser, told reporters in Nigeria's capital, Abuja. A top Nigerian official confirmed the government is speaking with the militants but did not comment on the talks' specifics. "We're doing everything possible to normalize the situation as soon as possible." Itsekiri activist leader Austin Ogboroegbeyi accused the governor of taking sides with the liaws. "We don't think anything good will come out of this," Ogboroogebyi said without elaborating. The Ijaws, whose 8 million people are the largest ethnic group in the Niger Delta, long have accused Obasanjo of colluding with minority Itsekiris to draw up unfavorable electoral boundaries ahead of April elections. Two weeks of violence in the region, where nearly all of Nigeria's oil is drilled, has forced oil multinationals to evacuate their staff and cut oil exports by more than 800,000 barrels a day — or 40 percent of the country's normal daily output of 2 million barrels. Oil giant ChevronTexaco closed nearly all of its operations while Shell and TotalFinaElf severely curtailed production. Nigeria, a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is the world's sixth-largest exporter and fifth-largest source of U.S. oil imports. Thousands of army, navy and police reinforcements have rushed into the delta's maze of creeks. Three navy frigates full of troops arrived Monday in the port city of Warri. Witnesses accuse the military of carrying out near-daily raids, with boatloads of soldiers firing light and heavy weapons on their villages in the marshes of the delta. Ijaw activists have threatened to blow up 11 oil facilities they claim to have seized from ChevronTexaco, Royal/Dutch Shell and TotalFinaElf if the raids continue. Villagers fleeing by the thousands fear a repeat of army massacres as in 2001 and 1999 that killed hundreds. In both cases, Nigerian soldiers were retaliating for killings of security force members. Army spokesman Col. Chukwuemeka Onwuamaegbu denied Tuesday that the military was targeting civilians and blamed the fighting between Ijaws and Itssekiris. Troop reinforcements had been deployed to protect oil facilities, he added. Try Chai Latte La Prima Tazza "Sweet and spicy chai tea with milk" Serving Lawrence since 199 Experience Counts!

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY COMMENTARY Ryan Malashock rmalashock@kansan.com Hinrich to avenge loss with Duke ANAHEIM, Calif. — Deep down in the bowels of the Arrowhead Pond yesterday, Kansas senior point guard Kirk Hinrich and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski crossed paths, exchanged brief pleasanties and went on their ways. Little did Hinrich know, Krzyzewski had just left his session with the media,a question-and-answer period that concluded with the longtime-head Dukie exuding his admiration for Kansas' scrappy leader. "I love Hinrich," Krzyzewski said. "He has tremendous competitive courage. He revels in moments that other people would shy away." Krzyzewski knows best after all. He saw first-hand the birth of Hinrich into Kansas lore. Three years ago, as a railthin freshman, the 6-foot-10an threw the lavihawks onto his back. The date was March 28, 2000. The site, Winston-Salem, N.C. The challenge, a top-seeded Duke team in the second round of the NCAA Tournament that had lost only four games all season. And not much was going to plan, except for the shaggy-haired, no-name newcomer. Kenny Gregory, shooting guard, and guard Jeff Boschee were missing shots left and right, shooting guard Nick Bradford was throwing the ball into the stands, power forward Nick Collison was getting tossed around like a rag doll, Drew Gooden, power forward, was making his oh-so intelligent freshman decisions and center Eric Chenowith was being, well, Eric Chenowith. But there was Hinrich, the constant, the hope for Kansas' future, willing the Jayhawks into the final minutes. He tied a career-high with 12 points. He converted 3-of-5 three-pointers and dished six assists. Oh, and in his spare time, he hounded Jason Williams, Duke's stud freshman, into a pathetic 2-for-15 shooting, eightturnover, six-point debacle. Kansas led 64-63 with less than 2 minutes to go, but Duke rallied behind its experience, stole the lead back and watched as Hinrich's potential gametying three-pointer in the final seconds glanced off the rim. That day brought the first of three years of postseason disarray for Hinrich and Kansas. But three years later, on the country's opposite coast, Hinrich can atone for the loss in his only previous battle with the Blue Devils. Glancing back, the names of the two institutions on the fronts of each team's SEE MALASHOCK ON PAGE 3B Kansas to face pesky Duke By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter Kansas needs to exorcise some demons. Technically, they're Blue Devils, but whatever you want to call Duke's basketball players, they have been nightmarish figures to Jayhawk fans. Duke has beaten Kansas in six out seven meetings between the teams, and coach Roy Williams has never triumphed in a game against the Blue Devils in his 15 seasons at Kansas, a note he will try to erase when his No.2 Kansas squares off against No.3 Duke in the Sweet Sixteen at 9 tonight. But Williams knows all too well that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is an imposing opponent. Not only has Coach K dominated Williams in game competition, he has won nearly every recruiting battle between the two, an edge that Williams attributed to a variety of factors. "I guess the two big things are the academic side of it is really difficult," Williams said at a press conference. "And then the people, particularly in the East Coast, still think we go to class in covered wagons and stuff like that. The perception of Kansas is not as good as it should be out there." While Krzyzewski enjoys a definite advantage in recruiting, Williams hasn't been totally defeated. Kansas All-American forward Nick Collison chose the blue uniform with the crimson trim, marking the first time Williams beat Krzyzewski head-to-head. Duke was not easy to turn down, Collison said. "They make it seem like it's the obvious choice with all the things that they tell you. I think bottom line was I just trusted coach Williams a little more, got to know him a little more," Collison said. It wasn't long before Kansas' senior forward got a first-hand look at what might have been. The Jayhawks and Blue Devils met in the East Regional of the NCAA Tournament in 2000; Collison and senior teammate Kirk Hinrich's freshman season. Hinrich led the Jayhawkes with 12 points and Collison added 8 in the 69-64 loss. The game still doesn't sit well with Collison. "They were the No. 1 seed, and we played pretty well, but in the end they were too experienced and we made too many mistakes," Collison said. "It was a game where we were happy we played well, but it was probably one of the most disappointing losses because we didn't get it done in the end." While disappointed in his first meeting with Duke, Collison said he knew he made the right decision. KANSAS 10 "I probably would have been happy there," he said. "They would have got a national title, so I think it would have been great to have two, but you know we'll try to get that done this year." Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich and the Jayhawks play the Duke Blue Devils at 9tonight. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski praised Hinrich's "competitive courage" at a media conference yesterday in Anaheim, Calif. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan - Edited by Andrew Ward Bars provide fun for Jayhawk fans By Jesse Newell jnewell@kansan.com Kansas省 writer After the Kansas basketball team defeated Arizona State Saturday, student Joe Staton came to the same realization as many Jayhawk fans. He was not going to Disneyland. "I've got some friends going to Anaheim to watch the 'Hawks," Staton said. "I'd love to be there, but I have some other stuff to do." So the Salina junior will do what he feels is the next best thing: watch the game at a local restaurant. "We have fun here. We do the Rock Chalk chant and other Jayhawk cheers. It's kind of like being at the game. People really get into it." Many Jayhawk fans will flock to the Shannon Norwood Molly McGee's general manager bars tonight, enjoying the atmosphere and specials that go along with the NCAA tournament as Kansas takes on Duke in the Sweet Sixteen. As for Staton, a few key factors separate Jefferson's Restaurant at 743 Massachusetts St. from the rest. "They have a flat-screen wall TV and also have pretty big shots there," Staton said. Jefferson's owner, Jeff Webb, said despite limited seating, the restaurant enjoyed heightened business during games. "We have people lining up for seating an hour and a half before game time," Webb said. "We bought the highest-definition TV, and it worked out well for us. Any game day is busy for us." Webb said Jefferson's would run its normal game specials, including 30-cent wings and $1 draws. The Granada, located at 1020 Massa- chussetts St, will try to draw in students with no cover charge. It also boasts a 25-foot projection television, which co-owner James Radina thinks will bring a good turnout. "I think we have the biggest TV in town, and there will also be other TVs around the building." Radina said. "We can hold more people than any other bar, so we'll probably have the biggest crowd." Molly McGee's, located at 2429 Iowa St., provides an Allen Fieldhouse-like atmosphere for fans during game nights.

He was the only Jayhawk to qualify for nationals. The rest of the team has not competed since March 8. The Kansas track and field team will start the outdoor season at the Vortex ESU Spring Twilight meet today at Emporia State University. Freshman Angela Pichardo put her name in the Kansas record book by running the third-best-thousand-meter run in school history. She said her strong performance in the indoor season should translate into success outdoors. "I think I shocked myself and a lot of other people with my performance this season," Pichardo said. "The indoor season should give me the confidence I need in outdoor." "All the runners and the field events had a great indoor season, and that should help in the outdoor season." she said. "We have a lot of depth and a number of very strong girls." Pichardo helped the women's team finish fourth at the Big 12 Championship its highest showing since 1996. The men's team, on the heels of Bookman's All-American indoor season, also looks to improve during the outdoor season. It finished the season 5-3 overall, 2-2 in conference, and ninth at the Big 12 Championships. The men's and women's teams prepared for the new season by cross-training for almost a month between seasons. "All the runners and the field events had a great indoor season,and that should help in the outdoor season." Pichardo said. "We have a lot of depth and a number of very strong girls."

If you ask Jayhawk fans if they hate Duke, more often than not, you will hear "yes." To some Kansas fans, being a Duke supporter is like being at the bottom of the totem pole. That's how much hate and envy there is against Duke. Kansas coach Roy Williams is 0-3 lifetime against coach Mike Krzyzewski's Blue Devils. That record includes a 69-64 loss to Duke in the second round of the 1999 NCAA Tournament. The two coaches have an intense rivalry, which stems back to William's days as an assistant at North Carolina. North Carolina also shares a strong rivalry with Duke. Tonight is the golden opportunity for the Jayhawks to get the monkey off coach Williams' back and finally beat the Dukies. Should Kansas get past Duke, it might get another shot at Arizona in the Elite Eight. The only obstacle in Arizona's way is its Sweet Sixteen matchup against Notre Dame. A Kansas game against Arizona would be the Jayhawks' opportunity at revenge for a 91-74 loss on Jan. 25 in Lawrence. In that meeting Kansas was outscored by 37 points after leading the Wildcats 44-24 in the first half. That game gave Kansas a hard lesson on the importance of having the killer instinct to put teams away with a lead. Many fans have complained that Kansas should not be a number two seed in the toughest region in the tournament, despite winning the Big 12 regular season title outright. But there should be no complaints. If the road to the final four becomes that much tougher, so be it. Great teams see their upcoming opponents, welcome the challenges and deliver. The old saying goes, "In order to be the best, you must beat the best." Combining the Jayhawks' mentality and hunger for revenge against Duke could make getting to the Final Four even more satisfying for players and fans alike.

Notre Dame ready to meet Arizona By Maxx Wolfson Arizona Daily Wildcat via U-wire University of Arizona TUCSON. Ariz. — Mike Brey must feel a little out of place. The third-year Notre Dame coach is taking his Fighting Irish team into unfamiliar territory, making its first appearance in the Sweet 16 since 1987. Meeting him there are three coaches — Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Kansas' Roy Williams and Arizona's Lute Olson — whose seasons are considered disappointments if they don't make it past the first weekend of tournament play. But does the 44-year-old feel out of place against the coaching legends' teams? Absolutely not. "I think that we do belong," said Brey, who reached a gaudy six Final Fours in eight years, while winning two titles, as a Duke assistant under Krzyzewski. "We are thought of in that mix now with these three years and the step that we took in Indianapolis." Even after all the talk came out about how tough the West bracket was, Brey wasn't concerned. He actually was hoping it would turn out like it did, considering the physical nature of the teams "When the bracket came out, everybody went off about the West bracket: 'Oh, my God, it's loaded,' or whatever," Brey said. "Before we even played a game, I looked at it and said, 'I do like the builds on the teams. It was a lot of basketball players. There was not the Pittsburgh/Kentucky bulk in our bracket." Notre Dame would ultimately be up against. Olson, on the other hand, has said from the start that the West's bracket was the toughest, but his stance shifted slightly Monday when he looked around at the other regions and said there weren't any cakewalks. "I don't see many soft touches anywhere," Olson said. "It's obvious to begin with that there were a lot of big name schools in the West, but then you look at the other regions and you're seeing outstanding teams at each of those sites as well." But Olson is still surprised at who the two teams are that are scheduled to play after the Wildcats and Irish face off on Thursday. "to have Roy and 'Coach K' meeting in a Sweet Sixteen game, that's one that you could look at as a national championship game in any other year," Olson said. Arizona senior Rick Anderson agreed. "That would be a good Final Four right there," he said about the four teams playing in Anaheim, Calif. "But it's going to be a big challenge for us." Brey's Notre Dame team seems to be ready for the challenge ahead, or at least prepared for it. The Irish have five wins over top-10 opponents (Texas, Maryland, Marquette, Pittsburgh and Illinois). "Playing those teams helped us," Notre Dame senior Matt Carroll said. "We had a very tough schedule, and we realized we can beat any team in the country any given day. And I think that's why we are playing with so much confidence now." Notre Dame is not the only team with confidence. The 15 other teams still left standing after a wild opening weekend have all won at least two games in a row, and all believe they have a chance to push that streak toward the magic number of six. So if Arizona's streak gets pushed to three, which team does UA senior and floor-leader Jason Gardner want to see? He said he doesn't care, but did say, "I'm sure a lot of people in Tucson want to see Duke." Longhorns seek first national title Only time will tell. By Patrick Daniel Daily Texan via U-wire University of Texas AUSTIN, Texas — In Texas' opening-ground game against the University of North Carolina-Ashville a sign in the stands read. "There's a first time for everything." Of course, Bulldog fans were referring to the fact that a No. 16 seed had never beaten a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, but the same sentiment can be applied to Texas coach Rick Barnes who has yet to add a national championship title to his resume. But this could be the year that Barnes breaks through to win his first national title. With T.J. Ford dazzling at the point, James Thomas crashing the boards and the team's all-around depth, Texas has a legitimate shot at winning its first national championship in basketball "I hope I'm going to have a lot of chances," Barnes said when asked if this was his chance to win it all. "I'm not that old. I might look it, but, right now, I'm not that old. This time of year does make you feel a little bit older." "I've said this all along. I will never ever take for granted getting to the NCAA tournament. Once you're in it, then you are really and truly one of 65 teams that can lay claim that you got a chance to play for the big trophy. I hope every year that we have a chance." Of course, the Longhorns will have to win two games against teams that boast coaches who have each won a national championship. Each of the other three teams that will play in tomorrow's South region semifinal games have garnered at least one championship with their current coach. "I have a great respect for all of them," Barnes said of the three other coaches remaining in the South region. Connecticut, Texas' first opponent in San Antonio, is coached by Jim Calhoun, who cut down the nets in 1999's national title game. The Huskies defeated the Duke Blue Devils. 77-74, in St. Petersburg, Fla., in that year's title game. "Jim Calhoun's been around a long time," Barnes said. "I remember when Jim was at Northeastern. People knew then that he could coach. He knew what he had to do and what he needed to do, and he did it." This season, Calhoun's squad finished with a 23-9 record and finished first in the Big East's East Conference, and the team lost two of those nine games when Calhoun missed five games because of prostate cancer surgery. "Well-coached," James Thomas said when asked to comment on this year's Huskie squad. "They are a good team. They went through a lot of adversity with their coach, and they were able to maintain." If the Longhorns survive Connecticut, they will go on to face either Michigan State or Maryland, both of whom square off in Friday's late game. Spartan coach Tom Izzo led his team to the championship in 2000, while Gary Williams led the Terrapins to a title last year against the Indiana Hoosiers in Atlanta. Before Williams and the Terrapins brought the trophy back to College Park, Md., there was a lot of talk about how Williams would need a title win before becoming a great coach. Barnes disagreed, however. Free forAll Duke propaganda stuff out of our newspaper? We don't want to read that stuff.

Mo. — Chiefs star Priest Holmes had hip surgery and is expected to be running at full speed in June. Holmes, the NFL's offensive player of the year, underwent arthroscopic surgery in Miami on Tuesday. The 29-year-old running back missed the last two games of the season. Coach Dick Vermeil, speaking yesterday from the NFL meetings in Phoenix, said Holmes would be on crutches for about four weeks and miss minicamp. "But I am told he'll be able to run full speed by June, and that's what we're counting on," he said. Holmes was having one of the best seasons by a running back when he was injured after being caught from behind in a game at Denver in December. Still, he finished with 1,615 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns. While questions linger about Holmes' health, the Chiefs have decided to hold off on his demand to renegotiate his contract. General manager Carl Peterson has indicated he might be willing to discuss an extension. The Chiefs sent Holmes to a specialist before the operation. Vermeil said Holmes had a fourth MRI and it was decided this procedure would hasten the healing process.

The Arizona Cardinals sure hope so. Released by Dallas last month, Emmitt Smith agreed to terms with the Cardinals yesterday, moving from one of the league's most storied franchises to one of its most downtrodden. "Emmitt will start," coach Dave McGinnis said, adding that he will also help break in Marcel Shipp, who led the Cardinals in rushing last season in his second year. Smith will wear the same No.22 he wore with the Cowboys. The Cardinals said Smith got a two-year contract, but did not disclose terms. It was believed to be worth about $4 million a year. A starting job was one of the things Smith had sought and one of the things the Cowboys couldn't guarantee when they released him Feb. 27 after 13 seasons and 17,162 yards. But Smith's other desire — winning again after three Super Bowl victories in Dallas — may not be so easy. Arizona finished 5-11 last season and has been one of the NFL's consistently losing franchises — it has one playoff victory since 1947. Smith contributed to the Cardinals' woes over the years. He scored 25 career touchdowns against them, his highest total versus an opponent. Overall, Smith ranks No.1 in NFL history with 153 rushing TDs. Smith, who will turn 34 on May 15, failed to reach 1,000 yards this season for the first time since his rookie year in 1990, gaining 975 yards. Smith rushed for over 100 yards in only two games, including the one with Seattle on Oct. 27 in which he broke Walter Payton's career rushing record of 16,726. The Cardinals plan to formally introduce Smith today at their practice complex in Tempe. "I've always been very confident in my abilities," Smith said right after being released by Dallas. "I think I'm a 1,300-yard back, and I will be out to prove that." "I am not a guy that is afraid of competition," he said. "I walk up and face it full throttle. I will help someone's organization get to the Super Bowl, get back to the Super Bowl or win the Super Bowl." Rod Graves, the Cardinals' vice president, said he did not know if any other team was interested in Smith. "It'll be strange when they come into Texas Stadium, and they say, 'Emmitt Smith on the carry' and it's not for the Dallas Cowboys," former Cowboys star Tony Dorsett said. Dorsett played 11 seasons for Dallas, then left to play one year for the Denver Broncos. He later called the move a mistake. NBA great wants to coach Columbia By Josh Fay-Hurvitz & Phil Wallace Columbia Daily Spectator via U-wire University of Columbia NEW YORK — Several nationally recognized basketball figures have expressed interest in succeeding Armond Hill as Columbia's head coach, including NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In a letter to Athletic Director John Reeves obtained by the Columbia Daily Spectator, Abdul-Jabbar expressed a "sincere interest" in filling the vacancy, and the NBA legend was seen on campus Tuesday evening. Additionally, former Duke star Bobby Hurley is known to be a candidate, along with Iona assistant Tony Chiles, Northwestern assistant Paul Lee and Columbia assistant Bill Johnson. Reeves declined to comment on the search until the position is filled. A knowledgeable source, however, indicated that the search process will accelerate over the next two weeks. The source also indicated that Chiles, Lee, Hurley and Johnson are all candidates and that interviews have been scheduled or conducted with Chiles, Hurley and Johnson as of Monday. The source also said that Columbia contacted former New York Knicks head coach Jeff Van Gundy about the position, but he declined consideration. Abdul-Jabbar's only experience as a head coach came with the Oklahoma Storm of the USBL in 2002. The Storm went 17-13 in Abdul-Jabbar's only season, but went on to win the USBL championship. He also served as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers in the latter half of the 1999-2000 season, worked in a Seattle Supersonics training camp, run a training session for the Indiana Pacers, and has worked individually with numerous NBA and NCAA players. In the 1999-2000 season, Abdul-Jabbar was an assistant coach at Alchesay High School in Whitiver, Ariz., on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. He is currently employed as an analyst for CBS Sports. Abdul-Jabbar is from New York City originally and attended the now defunct Power Memorial Academy on West 61st Street. He was a star center at UCLA from 1967 to 1969, winning three national championships under legendary head coach John Wooden, whom Abdul-Jabbar has called his coaching mentor, before being selected first overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1969 draft. He led the Bucks to the 1971 NBA championship and won five more titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s. The 7-2 center won six NBA MVP Awards and is the all-time NBA leader in points scored. Hurley's interest in the Columbia job was first reported by Dan Wetzel on cbs.sportsline.com. Hurley won two national championships with Duke in 1991 and 1992 and was selected seventh overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 1993 NBA draft. jerseys mark the only resemblance between the two Duke and two Kansas squads from three years ago and today. Back then, Duke was the experience-laden group—the Blue Devils started three seniors—that had been through troubled times together, and Kansas was the new kid on the block. Kansas coach Roy Williams had thrown Hinrich, Collison and Gooden on the court immediately, encouraging a policy of learning on the go. Now, the roles are reversed. Hinrich and Collison are the savvy, confident veterans. Hinrich seems to be more important to Kansas than any other player is to his team in the nation. He represents Kansas' emotional and on-court rock. The Jayhawks start with him, end with him and appear lost without him. His absence in the second half in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals, because of foul trouble, sparked a Missouri run that essentially gave the Tigers the game. Duke, on the other hand, relies on youth, as the Blue Devils play only one senior, and freshman J.J. Redick pops shots from all over the court, presenting a hot手 that could burn the Jayhawks. So as Hinrich embarks on what possibly could be his final collegiate game tonight, he hopes that the same experience that reigned for Duke three years back will prove to be the difference tonight. "I have unfinished business," Hinrich said yesterday. "Winning would mean so much, not just because it would keep my career going, but because it would get them back." Either way, expect Krzyzewski to embrace Hinrich with a smile and a hug tonight after the game. Whether Hinrich will also be grinning will determine if Kansas' leader can live to lead another day. *Malahock is an Omaha, Neb., senior in journalism* Bars CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B "We have fun here," general manager Shannon Norwood said. "We do the Rock Chalk chant and other Jayhawk cheers. It's kind of like being at the game. People really get into it." Norwood said that the bat would run its regular game-day specials, including 25-cent wings, but that there was a good reason for not changing the specials during tournament time. "We're very superstitious," Norwood said. "We don't want to rock the boat." It's Brothers, at 11th and Massachusetts streets, will run its normal specials on beer during the game.

Sixth St., will hold its normal Thursday specials during the contest. For student Greg Lang, viewing the game at a certain bar has become routine. The Wakeeney junior will attend Jefferson's to watch the match-up, not wanting to risk the possible outcome of breaking tradition. "It's a personal favorite place," Lang said. "I've always gone there on game nights since my freshman year. Now, I'm a little bit superstitious." "The other games weren't — Edited by Andrew Ward formerly Bada Bing!

The Associated Press Michigan women's coach resigns By Jim Weber Michigan Daily via U-wire University of Michigan ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan women's basketball coach Sue Guevara resigned Monday after a season which the Wolverines finished tied for last in the conference (3-13 Big Ten, 13-16 Overall) this past season. Last season was Guevara's first losing season, as Michigan finished tied for last in the Big Ten (3-13 Big Ten, 13-16 Overall). She is the winningest coach in Michigan women's basketball history, with a career record of 125-82. "We have had two consecutive rough Big Ten seasons and I think the program needs a change," Guevara said in a written statement. "I believe we have accomplished many positive goals for this program and I think we have put the program in a position that it can be nationally competitive." Guevara could not be reached for further comment from her home. In 2001-02, Michigan started the season 10-1 and was ranked as high as 12th in the nation before going 6-10 in the conference. This past season, the Wolverines started off 9-2 and again cracked the top 25 before going 3-13 in Big Ten play. Last week, several players anonymously voiced concerns they had about Guevara being too negative during practices and a lack of communication between Guevara and her players. Guevara met with each player individually last week and, according to team MVP Jennifer Smith, the meetings effectively cleared the air between the players and their coach. "I think everyone was open with one another," Smith said. "[Guevara] understood our concerns. Any problems the team had were settled during the meetings." Smith added. Other players either declined comment or could not be reached. Last week, assistant coach Ron Mott also resigned, and one player anonymously said it was "clearly seen" that Mott was not respected by the rest of the coaching staff. how long it would take him to recover. Tuesday, from his home in Okemos, Mich., he again insisted that is why he left the program and declined any further comment. Mott said he left the program because he is having eye surgery in the near future and wasn't sure According to Athletic Director Bill Martin, Guevara's resignation came during a meeting the two had on Monday night, adding in a written statement that Guevara "stated her last two seasons didn't live up to Michigan's or her own personal standards." "Sue is a wonderful person and a real professional, understanding that our program needs a change," Martin said. Martin could not be reached for further comment and Associate Athletic Director and Senior Women's Administrator Megan McCallister declined comment on the story. Royals cut pitchers as roster is finalized The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. — Left-handed pitchers Rick DeHart and Scott Mullen were among four players cut yesterday as the Kansas City Royals finalized their 25-man opening day roster. With DeHart reassigned to the club's minor-league camp and Mullen optioned to Triple-A Omaha, the Royals will start the season with an 11-man pitching staff and no left-handers in the bullpen. Not on the roster for Monday's opening day is Carlos Beltran, who has not played since March 10 because of a right oblique strain. Although the club has yet to officially place him on the disabled list, that's where he will open the season. "I don't see Beltran on opening day," Pena said. "He hasn't swung a bat in a while." The Royals said Beltran would be with the team for the opener in Kansas City and will then return to Arizona to continue his rehabilitation. The Royals also reassigned infielder Jarrod Patterson, who hit.458 in 16 exhibition games, and right-handed reliever Sean Lowe, who has pitched in the majors with the Chicago White Sox, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Colorado Rockies, to their minor league camp. "We've got three left-handers in the rotation," Royals manager Tony Peña, referring to Jeremy Affeldt, Chris George and Darrell May. "I would love to have a lefty in the bullpen I feel comfortable with, but I didn't feel comfortable with what I saw [of DeHart and Mullen] in spring training, "Pena said. DeHart was 1-0 with a 1.04 ERA in eight relief appearances, while Mullen had a 7.00 ERA. Opponents hit .325 against Mullen. "DeHart had good numbers, but his stuff was inconsistent," Pena said. "DeHart threw the ball well, but I just didn't see sharpness in his breaking ball, and the same way with Mullen." Peña said Patterson, a career .300 hitter in 10 minor league seasons who had a .533 on-base percentage in 16 exhibition games, was the most difficult cut. "It was very, very tough this morning letting this kid know he's going to go down after a great spring," Peña said. "He's a purer hitter. I know what he can do. We'll see him again sometime this season." Lowe had an 11.57 ERA in seven exhibition outings. The Royals decided to keep right-handed outfielders Brandon Berger, who hit .288 in 20 spring games and Rontrez Johnson, claimed off waivers from Oakland, and utility player Mendy Lopez. Pena said Berger, who hit .201 with six home runs and 17 RBIs in 51 games as a rookie last year, would start in right field against the Chicago White Sox in Monday's opener. Pena said he would platoon Berger and Dee Brown in right field to start the season. Lopez hit only .234 in 24 games, but Peña values his versatility of being able to play all the infield positions, plus the outfield. "Mendy can play everywhere." Penna said.

Rodriguez doubled twice and drove in a run yesterday in Texas' 6-5, 10-inning loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Surprise, Ariz. Rodriguez, who played a minor league game Tuesday, appeared in a major league exhibition game for the first time since March 12 because of a herniated disk in his neck. He fouled out in the first inning against Ben Sheets and hit into a double play in the third. "We talked before the fifth inning and he said he wanted to get a couple more at-bats because he was grinding," Rangers manager Buck Showalter said. "He was impressive." In his third at-bat, Rodriguez lined a double into the left-center gap to score Michael Young and make the score 2-1. Rodriguez added a double off the right-field wall in the seventh before being lifted for a pinch runner. "It was like old times," Young said. "He looked like his old self out there." Rodriguez cleanly handled all four grounders hit his way. The 27-year-old shortstop has played in all 324 games the past two seasons in Texas since signing his record $252 million, 10-year contract in December 2000. In Clearwater, Fl., Roy Halladay allowed seven runs to snap his 16-inning scoreless streak and hit Jim Thome with a pitch, nearly setting off a scrum with Phillies manager Larry Bowa. Bowa was enraged that Halladay hit Thome in the third inning and charged out of the dugout to argue with plate umpire Eric Cooper in the fourth. The umpire had warned, both teams after Phillies reliever Rheal Cormier threw two inside pitches to Halladay. As Bowa was walking back to the dugout, he shouted and walked toward Halladay. Blue "I hit their best player. If you are in the other situation you want to do something to protect that guy." Roy Haltaday Texas Rangers pitcher Jays manager Carlos Tosca ran onto the field, and both teams came out of their dugouts. No punches were thrown, and Bowa had to be restrained by several people. "I said. I don't think your control is that bad." Bowa said. "I shouldn't have said that. Nobody was throwing at anybody." Halladay said he understood why Cormier threw at him. "I hit their best player. If you are in the other situation you want to do something to protect that guy," Halladay said. "It's part of the game, but guys running all over the field, that's not part of the game." Cornier denied throwing at Halladay and blamed it on pitching out of the windup for the first time in at least six years. Thome left the game after he was hit above the right elbow. He said his elbow was numb and he couldn't swing a bat, but doesn't expect to miss the season opener at Florida on Monday. "My gut feeling is it's nothing serious." Thome said. Pat Burrell, Todd Pratt and McKay Christensen homered for the Phillies. A number of players were released yesterday the last day teams were allowed to put players with non-guaranteed contracts on waivers to avoid paying their full salary. Among those released were RHP Frank Castillo (Boston), RHP Danny Kolb (Texas), LHP Mike Venafro (Atlanta), RHP Giovanni Carrarea (Los Angeles), RHP Matt Herges (Montreal), RHP Francisco Cordova (San Diego) and RHPs Al Levine and Joey Hamilton (Texas). Sooners player just happy to contribute The Associated Press NORMAN, Okla. — One year after helping lead Oklahoma to the Final Four, Ebi Ere is just happy to help the Sooners when he can. Ere was expected to be Oklahoma's leading scorer this season, and he was early in the year. But he lost his shooting touch during the Bjg 12 season and eventually lost his starting job. Now he's bothered by a broken bone in his left wrist, an injury that occurred just before the conference tournament. He enters Friday's East Regional semifinal game against Butler having scored in single digits in four of the past five games. "It's just something that happens in basketball." Ere said. "You've got to deal with it, you've got to go ahead and do other things to help your team win." Ere, a 6-foot-5 swingman, averaged 14.6 points last season after transferring from a junior college, where he had averaged 25 the previous year. He scored 24 points in the season opener against Alabama, and led the Sooners in scoring in eight of the first 12 games. The last of those was the Big 12 opener against Colorado, when he had 20 points. But a 2-for-10 performance at Oklahoma State on Jan. 13 started Ere's slide, and he wound up shooting below 30 percent in conference games. As his slump continued, he finally went to coach Kelvin Sampson and suggested that Sampson start freshman De'Angelo Alexander in his place. "We can jump out a lot faster with him hitting open shots, and he's a really good defender, too, and he rebounds. If I can come off the bench, I can give those guys a spark, give them a rest." hard to get it going,and he got it going. "De' Angelo, he came around," Ere said. "Early in the season, he was struggling. He just worked Sampson said Ere's decision was telling. "How many seniors would do that," Sampson said. "Ebi puts a lot of emphasis on winning. His team is a No. 1 seed and 26-6 and in the Sweet 16. If he's frustrated, it hasn't shown to me. Ebi, he's a winner." He had 25 points on 6-of-12 shooting in an overtime victory at Kansas State, but dipped to 5-of-13 in the next game against Baylor. Ere showed some flashes during the Big 12 season where it appeared he might be coming around. His best game in the past 13 was a 17-point effort in the Big 12 tournament semifinals against Texas Tech. In the three games since, he is just 5-for-27 and has scored a total of 18 points. Although he is right-handed, the wrist injury affects his ability to use his left-hand dribble. That hinders his ability drive to the basket, one of his strengths. Ere, who averaged nearly 29 points as a senior in high school, said he has never gone through the kind of slump he has this year. "But it happens," he said. "I feel things happen for a reason. It's going to be a good reason. "And it showed the team something, too - we can win without me scoring and hitting shots. That's a good thing. Now our team has more confidence in themselves when I'm not playing well." Royals beat Giants lead AL this spring The Associated Press SCOTTSALE, Ariz. — Joe Randa homered twice and drove in four runs, and Raul Ibanez had four of the Kansas City Royals' 21 hits in a 13-5 victory over a split squad of San Francisco Giants yesterday. Michael Tucker and Randa hit back-to-back homers in the second inning. Randa added a three-run shot in a five-run fourth for a 9-2 lead. The Royals lead the AL with an 18-8 spring training record and top the majors with a 321 batting average and 7.7 runs per game. Mike Sweeney singled in three at-bats and is hitting .389 this spring. Rich Aurilia hit his fourth homer in the first inning, and Pedro Feliz added a two-run shot in the eighth for the Giants, who leave Arizona with a 14-14-2 record. Right-hander Jim Brower, acquired from Montreal in a trade Monday, made his Giants debut and worked two scoreless innings. He walked pitcher Albie Lopez with the bases loaded in the fifth. Giants first baseman Damon Minor, not claimed on waivers, was sent outright to Triple-A Fresno with no options remaining. That virtually ensures that veteran Andres Galarraga, in camp as a non-roster player, will be the backun first baseman. "How can you be disappointed if you hit.200 in spring training?" Minor said.

Joe Paterno was congratulated. TIAA CREF PSI THURSDAY, MARCH 27. 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7B NFL votes down overtime proposal The Associated Press PHOENIX—NFL owners changed nothing. The league closed its annual spring meeting yesterday by voting down a proposal to give both teams a shot at the ball in overtime. And it tabled a proposal to expand the playoffs from 12 teams to 14. The plan to change the overtime rule got 17 votes, seven short of the 24 required for passage. "They made the decision because the current system presents a tremendous reward or risk. That's something that adds a lot of excitement to the game," said Indianapolis general manager Bill Polian, who helped convince the other teams by citing the Colts' 23-20 overtime victory over the Broncos in the Denver snow. The expansion of the playoffs got more support than either commissioner Paul Tagliabue or competition committee chairman Rich McKay expected. But it was tabled until the league's May meeting in Philadelphia because, Tagliabue said, the league had to study the ramifications for both competition and television coverage involved in adding two wild-card teams. NFL Some teams also are concerned that only one team would have a bye under the proposed system. And both Tagliabue and McKay noted it was a change in an agreement to wait two years with the new eight-division alignment before tinkering with the playoffs. "We had no problems last year with the alignment," said McKay, Tampa Bay's general manager. "The teams that made the playoffs were the teams with the best records." The change in overtime was proposed after a record 25 games went into an extra session last year. Ten of those were won by a team on its first possession and 58 percent were won by the team that won the coin toss at the start of the OT. One of those was the game in Denver, which seemed to sway many teams. In that contest, which was televised nationally, the Colts' Mike Vanderjaagt tied the game with a "We had no problems last year with the alignment. The teams that made the playoffs were the teams with the best records." Rich McKay Tampa Bay general manager 54-yard field goal in regulation. Indianapolis then won the coin toss in overtime and moved the ball far enough for Vanderjagt to try a 51-yarder into the wind, which he made. Polian said that if it wasn't sudden death, coach Tony Dungy certainly would have chosen to punt; he sent the punting team on the field until Vanderjagt convinced him to try the field goal. "That game made our season," Polian said. "It's probably the main reason we made the playoffs. If there had been two possessions, a defensive-minded coach like Tony certainly would have tried to pin them back. That would have been the right call. But the reward for kicking was much greater—we won the game on the spot." In another move, the league changed the rules involving onside kicks in the final five minutes of games. In the past, if a ball did not go 10 yards, went out of bounds or was touched illegally, the kicking team was penalized, but had a chance to kick again from five yards back. McKay said that while that was rewarding a team for an illegal play, coaches wanted it retained; the coaches feared teams would stop trying surprise onside kicks. It finally passed when it was amended to cover only the final five minutes, when a trailing team often tries to get back in the game by getting another possession through an onside kick. The owners also spent considerable time discussing racial diversity in hiring practices. There was no agreement, however, on what discipline to take against the Detroit Lions, who hired coach Steve Mariucci without meeting the new guidelines to interview at least one minority candidate. The Lions said that five prospective black candidates turned them down because it was clear that Mariucci was the first choice for the job. Rockies Ozuna hurt; Belliard new starter The Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. — Ronnie Belliard spent the offseason wondering if anyone would call. Now the free agent that nobody wanted will start at second base for the Colorado Rockies. Belliard was named Colorado's starter on Tuesday after Pablo Ozuna was taken out of the running with an injured right knee. "It's unbelievable," Belliard said. "I feel better than the first time I was called up. I always work hard, but sometimes you don't know if you're going to make it." Ozuna was injured on a play at second base late in Colorado's 5-5 tie with Anaheim on Tuesday. Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said initial results from an MRI on Wednesday showed a second-degree sprain. Ozuna was headed back to Denver on Wednesday to see a specialist and will not travel with the Rockies on their final three exhibition games. "Depending on how his situation works out physically, we really believe that he's a kid that, if he continues to work as hard as he has and he has to go to Triple A. He will be a factor on our big-league club before the season is COLORADO ROCKIES appeared to have the inside track at the starting job anyway. The Rockies signed Belliard to a minor-league deal on Jan. 17 with the hopes that he could regain his form from 1999; when he hit .295 in 124 games with Milwaukee. He has been just what the Rockies had hoped for, hitting 300 with six doubles while playing steady defense this spring. him," Hurdle said. "I told him he needs to get on phone and call some people because from where he was in the winter, when nobody really called, and now he's going to be starting for our ballclub." "It should be a happy day for Ozuna is out for now, but he won't be forgotten. "Every time he runs somewhere it looks like he stole something," Hurdle said. "He improved as much as any player here from the start of spring training to the end of it." Although he hit 234 and has just 48 career starts in the majors, the Rockies like his aggressive approach. NCAA tourney teams feel out Metrodome BASKETBALL MINNEAPOLIS - The Metrodome brings back sweet memories for Kentucky. The Wildcats passed through the dome in 1996 on their way to the national championship. They beat Utah 101-70 and earned a trip to the Final Four by defeating Tim Duncan and Wake Forest 83-63. Kentucky is 30-6 in domes. Yet the caverrous, 21-year-old building remains one of the least popular venues in all of sports. The NFL's Minnesota Vikings, baseball's Minnesota Twins and the University of Minnesota football team are all looking for new stadiums. To accommodate seating for the basketball court, which takes up only about half of the artificial turf surface, crews have installed bleachers across from the benches and closed off some of the stadium seats behind them. Wisconsin guard Kirk Penney was asked if it was tough to get his bearings in the Metrodome. "Yeah, it's a dome," he said. "It's just getting the feel for it. You've just got to go out there. There is a little difference, but once you get a feel for it, it's fine. "If you're put here, you've just got to make do." Marquette star Dwyane Wade said his team had already tried to get accustomed to the unusual setting. "We try to get used to the rims and the atmosphere. We don't worry about what's in the background, though, only the orange rim and the ball." Notre Dame coach among elite coaches ANAHEIM, Calif. — Notre Dame's Mike Brey is keeping some impressive company at the West Regional. His fellow coaches in Anaheim are Arizona's Lute Olson, a basketball Hall of Fame member. Duke's Mike Krzyezewski and Roy Williams of Kansas. "Mike just knows people, he's just really a good guy," Krzyzewski said. Brey spent eight years as a Duke assistant under Krzyzewski before getting his first head coaching job at Delaware. Brey came to Notre Dame three years ago. "You use all three of them as models. Certainly, my eight years in Durham with Mike had a huge influence on me," Brev said yesterday. What did he learn? "The first thing would be get a lot of good players," he said. "The daily competition and intensity that you need to run a program at this level, Mike was a great example of that. One of the things he made very clear when he hired me back in '87 was he didn't want anybody coming down there who didn't want to be a head coach." Cougars consider hire of former Badger coach MINNEAPOLIS — A published report yesterday said former Wisconsin coach Dick Bennett was being considered for the head coaching job at Washington State. According to the Spokane Spokesman Review, sources in Washington State's athletic department said Bennett, whose son Tony is an assistant coach with the Badgers, was a strong candidate for the job. The elder Bennett left coaching in 2000 and still resides in Madison, Wis. Badgers guard and New Zealand native Kirk Penney was one of the players Dick Bennett lured to Wisconsin. "He's a great coach and if he feels the urge again, that's wonderful. He's one of the best." Penney said. "I support him, absolutely. I love playing with him, if he feels he wants to get back into the game, that's great." Kansas State Athletics Hall of Fame member dies Monday at 92 The Associated Press The Associated Press MANHATTAN- Oren Stoner, a member of the Kansas State Athletics Hall of Fame, has died at the age of 92. Stoner, who earned letters in basketball, football and track and field between 1932 and 1935 died Monday in Tulsa, Okla. Stoner was inducted into the Kansas State Athletics Hall of Fame in January. Stoner played four positions for the 1934 Kansas State football team, which won the Big Six C Also in 1934, Stoner set a world record in the shuttle hurdle relay at the Kansas Relays as a hurdler on the Wildcats' track and field team. Stoner was also an honorable mention All-Big Six selection in basketball. After college, Stoner coached high school track, football and basketball and spent time in the U.S. Army Air Corps and the Army Reserves. Stoner is survived by two daughters, one brother, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. His wife, Gladys, died earlier. Stoner's memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Ford-Wulf-Bruns Edgewood Chapel in Coffeyville, with a private burial. Memorials may be given to the donor's choice of charities.

The 54-year-old coach broke the news to his players yesterday in an emotional team meeting. The Rockets are vying for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. "At this critical part of the season, this team, any team, needs a coach who has got to give 100 percent of his thoughts to helping the team," Tomjanovich said. "As much as I love this team, I know my thoughts would be on some other things." Tomjanovich missed the team's recent five-game road trip and had been expected to rejoin the team for last night's home game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Assistant Larry Smith will continue to coach the Rockets during Tomjanovich's absence. When Tomjanovich was asked whether he saw any possibility of not returning next season, he said "not in my mind." Tomjanovich, in his 12th season as coach, led the Rockets to consecutive NBA titles in 1994 and 1995. He's acrobatic on the sidelines, and he said that would be hard to contain. "When I coach, I put everything I have into it," Tomjanovich said. "I come out of games and need ice packs. With all the Adrenalin flowing, that can't be good for a healing situation. It just doesn't make sense." Guard Steve Francis said the team meeting was difficult. "I didn't look at him in the face," he said. "It was hard. Then again, it wasn't like he was on his sick bed. Coach is really an emotional guy whether he's telling you you did something wrong or explaining that he's not feeling well." Tomjanovich was diagnosed on March 18 with the transitional cell cancer on his bladder that doctors said would be treatable with medication. "The only change in his condition is he's calm, he's optimistic." Muntz said. "One of the issues that came up was that treatment should start next week. It became obvious that his treatments should come on time and not juggling something at 10 at night that should have been done at 3 p.m." Smith says the Rockets can do Tomjanovich a favor by winning. "I love the guy," he said. "I'm just happy that he's going to be OK. Now, this is our job to go and get wins and we'll do everything in our power to do so. He wouldn't want it any other way." The team initially said Tomjanovich would rejoin the team during the West Coast road swing, then announced he would miss the entire trip. The Rockets went 2-3 under Smith. SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Kansas City Royals purchased the contract of right-handed outfielder Benny Agbayani from the Cincinnati Reds for an undisclosed sum Tuesday. Royals purchase outfielder contract Agbayani has played nearly four years in the majors with the New York Mets, the Colorado Rockies and the Boston Red Sox. A Royals spokesman said Agbayani had been assigned to the Royals' Triple-A club in Omaha. Agbayani appeared in 48 games last season with the Rockies, where he hit .205 with four home runs and 19 RBI. He appeared in 13 games with Boston, hitting .297 with no home runs and eight RBI. Agbayani, 30, also played with two Triple-A teams in 2002, hitting .272 with 11 home runs in 43 games with Colorado Springs and hitting .176 with five games with Pawtucket. In 383 games in the majors, mostly with the Mets, Agbayani has a .274 batting average and a .445 slugging percentage with 39 home runs, 58 doubles and 156 RBI. Former Iowa State quarterback shows talent to NFL The Associated Press By Josh Madden Iowa State Daily via U-wire Iowa State University AMES, Iowa — Former Iowa State quarterback Seneca Wallace showcased his talents for NFL scouts Tuesday at Iowa State's annual Pro Timing Day workouts. Wallace has garnered the attention of many NFL scouts since becoming Iowa State's all-time leader in such categories as total offense and passing in a season. The workouts, held at Lied Recreation Center, bring together scouts from around the country to observe outgoing and incoming Iowa State football seniors. Other participants included linebacker Matt Word and lineman Zach Butler, along with incoming senior wide receiver Lane Danielsen. Wallace, although confident, is still unsure of his draft status and where he'll end up. "My workouts went really good," Wallace said. "But you really don't know what (the scouts) think, you just hope good things come out of it." Wallace's workouts consisted of various passing drills, including pocket passing and throwing on the run. "I've just got to hope that I did well and they were impressed by the things that I did," Wallace said. Scouts Scott Linehan of the Minnesota Vikings and Greg Olson of the Chicago Bears were in attendance and watched to see what Wallace has to offer. "Seneca is no surprise. We all know about him," Linehan said. Both Linehan and Olson agreed that Wallace is more than just a quarterback with a strong arm. "He showed great accuracy, arm strength and athleticism and proved that he can throw well on the move," Olson said. "He has a lot of creativity to his game, and that gives him another dimension" Linehan said. "We were really impressed with his ability to make all kinds of throws." Linehan agreed. "He's a solid quarterback," Olson said. "No question about it." This was not the first time that Olson and Linehan had seen Wallace work out. They also observed him at the Senior Bowl and last month's combine but still wanted another look. "We're here more or less to confirm that what we see on film is the same person that we see live." Olson said. "We get to see a lot more things when we get to work him out individually." Linehan said. Earlier this month, Wallace met with the Washington Redskins. "It went really well." Wallace said. "We didn't do too much stuff on the field. We just mainly watched film and talked about how their offense works." Wallace is also slated to meet with the Kansas City Chiefs this Saturday. He plans to watch the draft, which takes place April 26 to 27, back home in Sacramento, Calif. Until then, he is uncertain of what teams may be knocking on his door. "You just never know. Some team may just call up and want you to work out at any time," Wallace said. "Right know all I can do is wait."

THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 9B Defeat from Notre Dame disappoints Kansas State The Associated Press MANHATTAN — It wasn't supposed to end like this. Cutting down the nets and winning a regional or national championship would have been a proper ending. Even getting beat in a hard-fought game in the Elite Eight or Final Four would have been well received. But getting upset by unranked and 11-seeded Notre Dame in the second round of the NCAA tournament in front of Kansas State's packed home court was a bitter ending to the Wildcats' other record-breaking season. "I'm extremely disappointed," sophomore guard Laurie Koehn said. "It's devastating and not a good feeling. It's not a way you want to feel." Koehn wasn't alone. Coach Deb Patterson and a purple-clad crowd of more than 11,000 were shocked Tuesday after Notre Dame snapped Kansas State's 22-game home winning streak with a 59-53 victory. It wasn't Notre Dame beating Kansas State that was the hardest to comprehend for the No. 3 seed Wildcats. It's how the Irish did it. Notre Dame's stingy match-up zone baffled a Kansas State offense that featured two All Big 12 Conference selections — Nicole Ohlle, 18.4 points per game, and Kendra Wecker, 19.2 points, — and Koehn, the best 3-point shooter in the nation last season. After leading 31-28 at halftime, Kansas State began the second half 0-of-11 from the field and committed six turnovers in the first eight minutes. At one point, the Wildcats went almost 13 minutes without a field goal. "A lot of it was not getting to our spots and not doing the things we are capable of." Ohlide said. "But you have to give a lot of credit to Notre Dame. They came out and were fired up." Koehn, who had 23 points, broke the drought with two straight 3-pointers to cut Notre Dame's lead to 40-35 with 8:17 remaining, but the damage was done. "For some reason, in the second half we just mentally froze," Patterson said. "We were our own worst enemies on a lot of possessions. I have not seen our team perform at that level at all this year, but it snuck up and got us." It was a shocking ending to a season that broke school records in wins (29), winning percentage (29-4., 878) and best Big 12 finish (second). Kansas State also had its first perfect regular season at Bramlage Coliseum (18-0). Ranked in the top-five almost the entire season, Kansas State began the year by winning the preseason WNIT. After losing at then-No. 7 Stanford on Nov. 30, the Wildcats won 13 straight and began the Big 12 season with fivestraight victories, including a 71- 69 victory over eventual Big 12 champion Texas. Despite losing Koehn, whose 122 3-pointers in 2002 were the second-most in NCAA history, to a foot injury for 10 games, the Wildcats won nine straight conference games. They had the chance to win the regular season title on the final game of the season, but lost 71-65 at Texas Tech, the first of three losses in five games to end the season. The Wildcats lost to the Red Raiders again in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament. "You look at the 29 games and you hope it will prepare for this moment and you realize that these young people achieved a great deal," Patterson said. "They have a lot to be proud of. At the same time, the disappointment of how you compete like this in the final game is very extreme, particularly at home." The future, though, still looks promising for the young Wildcats. Kansas State loses no players to graduation. Next year, Ohlde, the Big 12 player of the year, will be the only senior of the starters; Koehn and Wecker will be juniors. "We didn't want it to end like this." Ohlde said. "We're looking forward to next year. We have everybody coming back and we have lots of good people coming in. We're just going to go get back on the hardwood and keep working." Virginia Tech hit with injuries From Staff Reports The Collegiate Times via U-Wire Virginia Tech (U-WIRE) BLACKSBURG, Va.-Jim Davis will likely miss all of the upcoming season, and Vegas Robinson has been hampered by an ankle injury The injury bug has once again struck the Virginia Tech football team during spring practice, this time befalling linebacker Vegas Robinson and defensive end Jim Davis, two key members of the Tech defense. Robinson, hampered by an ankle injury during a critical stretch of the 2002 season, continues to suffer from soreness in the same ankle, despite repeated treatment during the three-month off-season. The only good news -- if Robinson, a redshirt senior, undergoes surgery on his ankle, he should be able to return in time for practice in August. The outlook on Davis' season does not look as good. He will almost certainly have to undergo season-ending surgery to fix his torn pectoral muscle. If he decides surgery is his best option after meeting with his family, he will most likely be given a medical redshirt, enabling him to have one more year of eligibility for Tech since he played as a true freshman. Last year, two key starters suffered injuries during the spring as well. Quarterback Grant Noel and cornerback Eric Green both suffered torn ligaments in their knees. Noel managed to return in time to start in the first game, while Green was out for the season. Both, however, had very capable replacements in Bryan Randall and DeAngelo Hall, respectively. This year there should be a very similar situation for replacing the injured defensive starters. Robinson projects he will return to start the season opener. CART driver Jourdain Jr. ready to drive at next level The Associated Press Michel Jourdain Jr. figures it's time to win. The Mexican driver, in his eighth year in the CART Champ Car World Series, hasn't found his way to Victory Circle in 122 starts. "While I am very proud of everything that I have accomplished to this point in my career, to me it has just been preparation for what lies ahead," jourdain said. "I know I have the team and the support I need to win, and we have proved we can run at the front and be competitive." In his second year with Team Rahal, Jourdain started the season with consecutive careerbest, second-place finishes, trailing only Paul Tracy in St. Petersburg, Fla., and Monterrev, Mexico. Now, it's time to take the next step, and that could come as soon as the race in Long Beach, Calif., on April 13, where he goes in second in the standings, trailing Tracy by 11 points. Even if the first win doesn't come in that event, Jourdain is confident it will happen this year. "I can almost taste a win," Jourdain said. Principal team owner Bobby Rahal, who won 24 races and three CART championships before retiring in 1998, saw the raw ability in Jourdain. The 26-year-old driver spent six seasons learning his craft while driving for the underfunded Team Scandia, Payton-Coyne and Herdez-Bettenhaus teams. With a last-minute sponsorship deal from Gigante, a leading retailer in Mexico, Rahal was able to hire Jourdain just weeks before the 2002 season. "I knew there was talent there," Rahal said. "I've had my eye on Michel for a long time." Jourdain immediately paid dividends to Team Rahal by becoming the most consistent driver in the series, finishing in the points—the top 12—in 17 of 19 races and winding up a career-best 10th in the season points. "Michel continues to show a great deal of patience on the track, and his ability to avoid costly mistakes shows the maturity he has gained as a driver," Rahal said. "It is so easy to forget how young he is because he has been around this series so long. But he is getting better all the time. "Michel has a great deal of experience and he is using that experience to his advantage." If there was a weakness for Jourdain in his first year driving for Rahal and team co-owner David Letterman, it has been his qualifying. His average starting position in 2002 was 14th, and starting that far back can be a real handicap at some of the CART tracks, particularly the tight street courses that make passing difficult. "Qualifying is a key for us this year," Jourdain said. "We have put a lot of effort into improving our qualifying position." That would also help Jourdain's chances of finally winning and of running for a championship. "So far this year, we've started both races fifth and we've finished second," Jourdain said. "Our goal is to start in the top five every race. If we can do that, it's going to be a great season." Racing manager a multitasker The Associated Press He's also the team's "environmentalist," a guy who tries to keep the peace and lends an ear when needed. CHARLOTTE, N.C.— As team manager for Chip Ganassi Racing, Andy Graves must do it all, from building race cars to balancing the budget. "It's my job to keep everyone's environment right," Graves said. "I kind of think of it as a part-time baby sitter, part-time bartender. I have to listen to everyone's problems and make sure everyone gets along." A crew chief used to be able to fill that role. But in the rapidly expanding world of NASCAR, more and more car owners are looking for a detail-oriented expert to lighten the crew chief's load. With Ganassi based in Pittsburgh, Graves and Tony Glover run his entire three-car operation. Jimmy Makar moved up to team manager at Joe Gibbs Racing Todd Parrott is now team manager at Robert Yates Racing, overseeing Dale Jarrett and Elliott Sadler's team instead of just being the crew chief for Jarrett. after 11 seasons as a crew chief and one Winston Cup championship with Bobby Labonte. Makar now focuses on improving technology and long-term goals. Just last week, Gil Martin became team manager of Kevin Harvick's No. 29 Chevrolet at Richard Childress Racing after being the crew chief. "This is a position that you will see a lot more of as the years go on," Makar said. "Right now there's only a handful of us, but that will change because the business is just too big for one person to do it all." Childress recognized that last week when he moved Martin out of the day-to-day operations and made Todd Berrier Harwick's crew chief, responsible for readying the car for each race weekend. "We all have the resources and the equipment to succeed, but it boils down to the people," Childress said. "There's just not enough time for one guy to be in the fab shop, to be working with the crew, to be hiring the right people. So Gil, who is excellent with people and details, is now free to focus just on that and Todd can work on the car." Everyone's idea of a team manager is different. Brian Whitesell, longtime manager at Hendrick Motorsports, supports Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson's crews. He briefly tried being a crew chief when Ray Evernham left late in 1999, winning his first two races in that role. But he was getting lost in the day-to-day details and moved up to manager at the end of that season. "It was a neat deal. I won a couple of races and proved to myself that I could do it," Whitesell said. "But that's all I needed to do. The greater good of the team was for me to move on." $5 off any service over $20 Hair Experts Design Team 2100 - B West 25th Street • 841.6886 • 800.246.6886 Bring this ad in to receive your discount (coupon #8) $5 off any service over $20 Hair Experts Design Team 2100 - B West 25th Street • 841.6886 • 800.246.6886 Bring this ad in to receive your discount (coupon #8) Support the Hawks Now Available Quantities are limited S-XXL only $15.95 100% cotton pre-shrunk Jayhawk Bookstore 1420 Crescent Rd. • Lawrence, Ks. 66044 kinko's 911 Mass 843-8019 Bring this coupon in & we’ll LAMINATE IT!

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Chauncey Billups' three- pointer with one-tenth of a second left in overtime gave the Detroit Pistons a come-from-behind, 102-99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks last night. Amare Stoudemire added 22 points for Phoenix, while Marion had 21 points and 18 rebounds. Penny Hardaway scored 18, and Marbury added eight assists. After Shareef Abdur Rahim's putback dunk tied the game at 99 with 29 seconds left in overtime, the shot clock was turned off when Jason Terry committed a foul. Billups took Jon Barry's inbounds pass and drained a jumper over Terry from the top of the key. The Hawks blew two large fourth-quarter leads and allowed Detroit to tie the game in the last minute of regulation. They had an opportunity to win in regulation, but Terry's jumper over Robinson was well short. Jason Williams, who gave Memphis a 99-96 lead on a three-pointer with 57 seconds left, led Memphis with 22 points, while Pau Gasol added 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Shane Battier scored 15 off the bench Richard Hamilton led the Pistons with 27 points while Billups had 23 and rookie Mehmet Okur scored 16 — all in the fourth quarter. Ben Wallace added 23 rebounds. Marbury shines; Suns beat Grizzlies Shawn Marion missed a 15-footer with about 5 seconds left, but got his own rebound and hit Marbury on the right wing for the winning three-point play. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Kerry Kittles 'go-ahead three-pointer with 5:43 to go carried the New Jersey Nets to a 101-95 victory over the New York Knicks last night. Kenyon Martin had 24 points, Kitties 23 and Jason Kidd added 17 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. in fourth quarter rally Knicks lose to Nets Latrell Sprewell had 24 points and nine assists and Allan Houston added 19 — only nine in the final three quarters — for the Knicks, who fell apart after Kittles gave New Jersey an 87-85 lead. New York hit only two baskets the rest of the way including a gimme in the final seconds and Sprewell turned the ball over twice and Houston once. Sprewell also threw up an airball on another shot, Richard Jefferson, who added 18 points, stretched the Nets' lead to 89-85 with a reverse layup on a fast break led by Kidd. Martin then stole the ball from Sprewell, dribbled downcourt and scored on a layup. Raptors win game against Cavaliers TORONTO — Morris Peterson scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half as the Toronto Raptors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 89-83 last night. Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 25 points and nine rebounds for the Cavaliers, who recorded consecutive victories for the first time this season. Vince Carter added 18 points for the lottery-bound Raptors. Ilgauskas' ainth point of the third quarter cut Toronto's lead to two, but Peterson made two three-pointers and a layup during an 18-6 run as the Raptors entered the fourth with a 14-point lead. Peterson's short jumper and Voshon Lenard's 18-foot jumper gave Toronto an 18-point early in the fourth. 76ers win with strong fourth-quarter finish INDIANAPOLIS — Allen Iverson had 22 points and 10 assists and the Philadelphia 76ers missed only four shots in the fourth quarter in defeating the Indiana Pacers 91-85 last night. The Sixers received strong fourth quarters from Iverson, Keith Van Horn and Eric Snow to come back from a five-point deficit at the end of the third. Philadelphia was only 23-for-64 from the floor through the first three quarters before making 11 of its first 13 in the fourth. The Sixers never led until Iverson swished a 19-footer from the left wing to put them ahead 68-67. The Pacers regained a 1 point lead after two free throws by Al Harrington with 4 minutes left. It would be their last lead of the game. Van Horn, who scored 6 of his 10 points in the fourth, gave Philadelphia a 78-76 lead on a baseline dunk. He appeared to hurt his right hand on the play, shaking it as he returned down-court. Warriors win game over Celtics,107-95 BOSTON—Jason Richardson scored 31 points and the Golden State Warriors broke open a close game early in the fourth quarter to hand the Boston Celtics their sixth straight loss, 107-95 last night. Three other Warriors had at least 18 points - Antawn Jamison with 29, Gilbert Arenas with 23 and Troy Murphy with 18 as Golden State shot 52 percent from the field. Murphy added 11 rebounds. Paul Pierce had 25 points and Eric Williams 15 for the Celtics, whose losing streak is their longest of the season. The Warriors took an 81-74 lead on a driving layup by Arenas — who then slammed the ball off the floor. Antoine Walker protested that Arenas should get a technical foul, and referee Dan Crawford assessed one to both Arenas and Walker. By Brian Stensaas Minnesota Daily via U-wire University of Minnesota Gophers kick off season MINNEAPOLIS - March Madness is usually a term reserved for basketball teams caught up in postseason action. Just don't tell that to Minnesota football coach Glen Mason. Though both Minnesota's men's and women's basketball teams are alive in postseason action, the Gophers football team kicked off its spring practice Tuesday at the Bierman athletic complex. Thanks to a large number of returning players from last year's squad, Mason said his latest spring practice was making him the most excited. "I feel a lot better about this spring practice than any other since I've been here," said Mason, who is beginning his seventh season as head coach for Minnesota. "We've got most of the ingredients already here that are going to be the making of our ballclub." Other than Mason and his revamped coaching staff — including new assistant head coach Moe Ankney and new defensive coordinator Greg Hudson — the spotlight will no doubt be on junior wide receiver Paris Hamilton. The junior college transfer from Tyler, Texas, was rated as the top junior-college receiver available by JCFootball.com and will look to fill a large hole at the position left by Antoine Burns (teamhigh 526 receiving yards). Mason said one of his goals for this season was to score more touchdowns from outside the red zone. Of Minnesota's 65 touchdowns last season, 44 were from inside the 20-yard line. Hamilton, who averaged 24 yards per catch last year for the Apache, admitted he had a few butterflies prior to Tuesday's practice but was aiming to make the big plays. "One of the things the coaches stressed to me before I got here was that we need to score more points," Hamilton said. "But I'm not going to be thinking about it. I just have to go out there and do what I came here to do, and that's play football." Women's expert protests club Associated Press Writer NEW YORK — Martha Burk believes it is "appalling" that women who fight for the United States in Iraq face discrimination at home at private golf clubs like Augusta National. "Broadcasting the Masters now and showcasing a club that discriminates against women is an insult to the nearly quarter million women in the U.S. armed forces," she said at a news conference yesterday. Burk, chairwoman of the National Council of Women's Organizations, was invited by a half-dozen City Council members and representatives of civil rights groups denouncing CBS and the club for its all-male membership. Several council members planned to introduce a resolution yesterday condemning Augusta National and asking CBS not to broadcast the tournament. The Masters, the year's first major tournament, will be held April 10 to 13, and Burk has said she planned to protest in Augusta, Ga. The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit or, her behalf to hold a protest at the club's front gates. "It's appalling that the Burk said the club's all-male membership was an affront to women in the U.S. armed forces, particularly those in Iraq. women who are willing to lay down their lives for democratic ideals should be shut out of this club. ... Democratic ideals do not include discrimination," she said. Club spokesman Glenn Greenspan characterized Burk's remarks as "grandstanding." "Ms. Burk will say anything to get publicity," Greenspan said. "But if she is invoking the troops to draw more attention to herself, only three words apply — shame on you." Burk said her message would be strengthened, not lost, because of the attention on Iraq. "Women in the military know what it's like to fight for equal opportunity," she said. 1 Jayplay The University Daily Kansas KJHK Then & Now p.8 2 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN INSIDE THURSDAY,MARCH 27,2003 Jayplay The University Daily Kansan 3 Music Dance!

JACK FLAMGANS 18 TO ENTER, 22 TO DRINK LOCATED ON 23RD STREET SENDID MCDONALD'S THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 MUSIC THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3 DJs unite for communism revolution By Cate Batcheler cbatchelder@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Join the revolution! Come and dance, they say, but just wear red and black. Dance! Dance! Revolution!, a dance party with communist overtones, will uprise at 10 p.m. Saturday night at The Pool Room. Friends Mark Hurst (code name X9), Philadelphia sophomore, Meredith Vacek (R9), Lawrence junior, and Justin Riley (C8), Fayetteville. Ark., sophomore, are joining forces to get Lawrence dancing. Their means of promoting the event include using propaganda fliers and videos, emblematic logos and recruited danceparty patrollers that demand you dance. "It gives everyone the feel of a political party meeting in a way, but yet it's kind of silly and absurd because we're just all there to dance," Vacek said. The disc jockeys united for the first Dance! Dance! Revolution! in December, but unofficial dance parties have taken form in Hurst's living room for a year. Hurst thought of the idea of combining a dance party and communism for a performance art class, taking the dance party's title from a video game. The three organizers are regulars at La Tasca's, 943 Massachusetts St., '80s and '90s Neon dance nights but still saw a void in the Lawrence dance scene. "I have this need for dancing and realized I couldn't be the only person in town," Hurst said. The December dance party attracted 200 people. With word on the street and their propaganda campaign, they think the crowd could be much bigger. Fliers distributed all over campus and even in Kansas City show the three friends looking stern and intimidating. At the show, postcards will be distributed of each DJ. They modeled this after communist China where each family had its own picture of the Mao, the communist leader. Hurst and Riley used the photographs and multimedia projects from the first dance party for class projects. "We've milked that, and now we get to do it on our own," Riley said. The organizers have spent the whole semester building on the last dance party's projects. The last video was shot from sites in three states: downtown Lawrence, corners of The Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., and at an abandoned building in Fayetteville, Ark. The video is synchronized with the music DJ'ed by the trio. Each DJ specializes in genres of music so a wide spectrum of music will be played such as breakbeat, '80s synth pop, hip-hop, rock, industrial and gothic. "I think we all expose people to music they've never heard before," Vacek said. "There's a desire out there to hear the music, and there's no one playing it." Saturday night's party for the Party has been dubbed Lawrence's cultural event of the year, Vacek said she heard. — Edited by Jason Elliott Contributed art "It's as altruistic as it can be," Hurst said. "It's just about getting people to dance."

Everybody knows what the pizza chains — like Papa John's — taste like, but what about the local favorites? Here's how the local pizzerias stack up: Papa Keno's, 1035 Massachusetts St. Papa Keno's is located downtown on Massachusetts Street. The sweet smell of spices fill your nose as soon as you walk in. A walk in. A photo illustration by Dan Nelson slice of pepperoni costs $3.27, which may seen a bit steep, but the slices are as big as your face. Tom Fleming, assistant manager, said that most of their business was slice business. "Just one slice is big enough to feed just about anybody," Fleming said. My slice was served straight out of the oven and had a perfect blend of sauce, cheese and pepperoni. It was so big that they sliced it into bite-size rectangles.The crust was a bit burnt, but I ate so much that I was too full to consume anymore anyway. The friendly employees were a plus. Rudy's Pizzeria, 704 Massachusetts St. As I descended to Rudy's As I descended to today's Pizzeria I felt as if I was on a pizza date with the Hobbit. The underground pizzeria was complete with a fountain and jazz music. The employees were as cold as the stone walls that surrounded me. My slice of pepperoni pizza was lukewarm and bland. Mike Walker, Denver senior, agreed. "They taste like frozen pizzas that you put in the oven," Walker said. "It has too much cheese and not enough sauce." Although the employees were less than friendly, Chad Glazer, owner of Rudy's Pizzeria was surprisingly pleasant. He said that the fresh ingredients were appealing to pizza lovers. "We even grind three separate cheeses and blend them together every day," Glazer said. "Most other places use frozen cheese." Maybe Glazer should spread the love to his staff. Lawrence Pizza Company, 601 Kasold Dr. Two words describe my experience at the Lawrence Pizza Company: family reunion. The dreary dark colored carpeting and stain-free booths are ideal for families with small children, but I just don't see college students spending much time here. My small pizza was served fresh from the oven. The equally spaced pepperoni looked as if each one was placed there for a reason. The crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside crust was my favorite part. Despite the malfunctioning credit-card machine, the service here was personal and delightful. Mary Coldsnow, St. Johns Elementary School fourth grader, patiently awaited her personal-pan cheese pizza. "It's my favorite place," Coldsnow said. "My pizza is always served hot, but not too hot." The Wheel Pizza Company, 507 W. 14th St. I knew that I was home as I entered The Wheel Pizza Company. The tiny room was much quieter than I'd seen it before. On Friday and Saturday nights, people occasionally have to wait outside for a slice. Served by the slice in the evenings — I can relieve my pizza cravings for only $2. The Wheel pizza isn't too thick, nor is it too thin. The sweet sauce lingers in my mouth until I return home. Sometimes I live on the edge and eat the crust first. Rob "Knobby" Farha, owner of The Wheel Cafe and The Wheel Pizza Company said that the convenience of The Wheel Pizza Company appealed to customers. This pizza is more than a hangover cure; it's dinner. — Edited by Andrew Ward WEEKLY SPECIALS AVOID THE CROWD DOWNTOWN AND DRINK UP WITH US.

They talk about the days of cheap beer, protests and Larry Brown. They also might mention the crazy time they had when they saw Nirvana play at the Kansas Union Ballroom. That's right, before the Lied Center was erected in 1993, the ballroom hosted concerts. This Sunday, it will once again play host to new faces in music, and it will mark a new start of ballroom shows. It will give the opportunity for students of today to experience what went on in the ballroom 20 years ago. The Advanced Warning Tour starts at 7 p.m. Sunday. Bands playing are Mooney Suzuki, The Raveonettes, Longwave and Whitelight Motorcade. Sponsors include Student Union Activities, CMJ and MTV-2. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in the SUA office on the fourth floor in the Kansas Union. At the University, the shows were put on with help from SUA. Meghan McClain, St. Louis junior, is the live music coordinator for SUA. McClain said a majority of the past ballroom shows were in the 1980s. "The bands performing were touring to get noticed and promote themselves," McClaim said. With help from McClain, here's a review of some shows that made it to the ballroom. Before his death in 1981, Rasta man Bob Marley made his way to the ballroom. And when the punk rock group Black Flag came to town, its new style of music made for pushing back the stage and mosh pits. One man McClain talked to said Fishbone and Primus were the best live shows the University had ever seen. Both shows took place in the late 1980s. Even the L.A. Guns show (band right before Guns N' Roses) rocked the ballroom. A young teen girl was said to have gotten on the tour bus, for what sounded like a finish to a crazy and wild night. The groups Nirvana and Elastica played at the ballroom in the '90s. About the same time as Elastica, the Violent Femmes stopped by for a show. Not every ballroom show was a hit. McClain said when Public Enemy came through, group members supposedly were rude and insulting, which made the University decide to never ask the band back. McClain said Public Enemy was here about the time when President Bush senior was elected. Public Enemy told the crowd not to vote in the upcoming election, which caused some mild chaos.

THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 LAWRENCE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7 NORTHWEST NATIONAL PARK Perched upon the stump 30 feet high in the air, Sihka reads an article about homeland security. At the base of the tree a half-dozen people played bongo drums and circulated a petition requesting a park instead of commercial development. Sikha was replaced Monday Sihka speaks about week in tree Kelley Weiss/Kansan night. On March 18, a young woman named Sihka climbed up an elm tree at Eighth and New Hampshire streets near the Borders Books Music & Cafe parking lot. The tree, which had its limbs removed earlier that evening, became a campsite and rallying point for a group of activists who dubbed themselves the "Kaya Preservation Society." Members of the society concede that it may be too late to save the tree, which sits on the property of the Harris Construction Company and is owned by Bo Harris. But they pledge to try to preserve natural beauty in the midst of the concrete jungle. University Daily Kansan senior staff writer Lucas Wetzel sought an audience with Sihka on her sixth and final night in the tree. This is what she had to say. Wetzel: How did you get up there? Sihka: I have this rope that's around one of the taller branches, and I made a harness. Then I just kind of wormed my way up. W: Has anyone tried to climb up there with you? S: Yeah. We had a drunk guy one night, but he went away. His friend told him the fairies put me up here and that the fairies didn't want him to be up there with me. So what do you do all day? S: I make little wire sculptures. Right now I'm working on fairy wings that I wear on my back. S: I people watch a lot. I read and I do some artwork. S: When I get something signed saying they're not going to cut it, that they're going to leave an area for a park to celebrate life instead of death. W: Is there a time you plan to come down? W: Do you draw, or what do you do? S: Yeah, everything's kind of distorted perception-wise. W: That's awesome. Do people look funny from up there? W: Have you lived in Lawrence for a while? S: No, I'm nomadic W: How did this all happen? S: We were just planning on having a candlelight vigil and a drum circle here, and an hour before that happened we decided to have a tree-sit, too. Then we decided to put me up in the tree. When I told everyone at the vigil what was going on, people just showed up with their camping gear and decided to camp out. W: Have you considered a compromise? S:Not really. He hasn't even come out to talk to me. W: What if they built an Ewok Village? S: A tree condominium? I don't think it works like that. W: What kind of interesting things have happened since you've been up there? S: We have a lot of stupid people drive by, yelling things that we don't think they've thought about, like, "We love war and oil," or "Cut the tree, you dirty hippie." Someone said 'Burn the tree.' That was sad. That came from a little kid. We've gotten tons of support, though. There's so many people in the community who have seen this tree and really love it. We have hundreds upon hundreds of signatures on our petition already from people coming by. W: What's the worst thing you have to deal with up there? S: Rain. I have a tarp, though. It gives me a little bit of shelter. S: If people want to know this, they have to come plant a tree to find out. W: How do you, um, go to the bathroom? W: Is there anything you want to say to those of us on the ground? S: There's a good quote that actually appeared on the sidewalk one night: Once the last tree has been cut, and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught, only then, will we realize you can't eat money. W: That just showed up on the sidewalk? S. Yeah. Magic, huh? TICKETS AS LOW AS $20 ON SALE NOW W: Definitely. PRESENTED BY Starla Benford Erin Moran From TV's Happy Days Amy J.

Radio station features mix of music, talk 1954 KUOK, an AM station run by the School of Journalism came into existence. October 15. 1975 KJHK was launched. By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Every Sunday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Miss Fortune and Lady Luck, KJHK disc jockeys, give the Lawrence community something that can't be found on other radio stations. Their show, Hip House, features hip hop from all over the world including Africa and including Africa and Korea. "With college radio, you are able to hear music other than Top 40. You get innovative experienced sound," said Melanie Naasz, Wichita senior and KJHK's Miss Fortune. From its first broadcast on Oct.15, 1975, KJHK has always been on the alternative side, said Meredith Vacek, KJHK station manager. "It's a place where people can voice their opinion coming from many perspectives whether it be the multicultural perspective or multi-political." "It's a place where people can voice their opinion coming from many perspectives whether it be the multicultural perspective or multi-political," Vacek said. Vacek said some professors in the 1980s thought the station was too radical and dangerous The unique music played during Hip House is typical of KJHK's variety. Meredith Vacek KJHK station manager ___ The station has always tried to play music not found on other stations, said Peter Berard, KJHK music director. "We are not a Top 40 station. That music doesn't get sent to our station and we probably wouldn't play it even if it was," Berard said. "They fought to take out student control," Vacek said. "Eventually the people realized it was a bad idea and the whole reason the station existed was for the students." In the summer of 1988 the station was changed to a Top40 outlet. "The students didn't like it, and it was changed back to the alternative voice," Vacek said. KJHK has a strong reputation in college radio. Vacek said the station ranks in the top 50 around the country. At times it's ranked in the top 10. RIDE THE DOWN Eric Braem/Kansan KJHK's home, known as The Shack, serves as an outlet for a wide range of music. The student-run station spent a brief period as a Top 40.

KJHK CONTINUED FRIN PREVIOUS PAGE The purpose of KJHK is to promote and support independent artists so people get to know them, Berard said. Besides local music, KJHK plays everything from jazz to heavy metal. "Everyone at KU can find some portion of KJHK they would enjoy," Berard said. Berard said many listeners seemed to feel more comfortable with Top 40 stations that play the same six songs anywhere in the country. "People are getting a very small window of what music is by listening to Top 40 and MTV." Berard said. "We don't try to present just one view." — Edited by Anne Mantey "Everyone at KU can find some portion of KJHK they would enjoy." Peter Berard KJHK music director KU radio station faces uncertainty By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The future of KJHK radio still remains in the hands of Chancellor Robert Hemenway. The School of Journalism currently funds KJHK but has asked the chancellor to find a new home for the station. The budget crunch and a curriculum that has shifted away from radio are two reasons why the school wanted to relinquish control of the station, said Janet Murguia, executive vice chancellor. Murguia also said a majority of student who worked for KJHK were not journalism majors. Gary Hawke, general manager of KJHK and student adviser said about 35 of 150 students who worked for KJHK were journalism majors. He said it was hard to say how the change would affect journalism students. "Our hope is that even if it does go to a different entity we'll still be able to provide student opportunities for news and sports reports on the station," Hawke said. Hawke said students interested in radio could still gain experience through KUJH television. "If you can report on television, you can ON AIR certainly do it on radio. However, the reverse is not true," Hawke said. "We'll probably not reach a decision for some months. We've got to look at the legal situation." Robert Hemenway Chancellor Hemenway said he was exploring a couple options for the station. They include associating the station with the student unions or Kansas Public Radio. We've got to look at the legal situation," Hemenway said. Protecting the FCC license and maintaining the student feel of the station are top priorities for Hemenway. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS KJHXC FM the Sound Alternative 90.7 "We'll probably not reach a decision for some months. "I would want to make sure it stays a student-oriented station," said Hemenway. Worrying about the situation won't help matters, said Meredith Vacek, station manager. "As long as it's still around and I'm a student I'm going to stick around to keep its original intent of being open to everyone," Vacek said. A KJHK disc jockey hosts a show on the student-run station. Chancellor Robert Hemenway is exploring options to keep the station in student's hands. "I can't imagine KU without KJHK," Naasz said. "It's been the most important part of my experience here." The possibility of losing KJHK breaks the heart of disc jockey Melanie Naasz, Wichita senior. Naasz has worked at the station for two and a half years and will find a job in the music industry after graduation. —Edited by Leah Shaffer WALTZ Eric Breem/Kansan 10 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FOOD THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 Gourmetfood shouldn't be intimidating Discovering challenging recipes in cookbooks or magazines like herbed crepes julienne and salmon horseradish mousse with caviar are atypical dishes that many tend to steer away from. The bewilderment of the names alone not only discourages many to skip over to the next recipe, but the scanty ingredients and odd food preparation included in these gourmet-type dishes limits the possibilities of actually wanting to create such deliciously exceptional recipes. Becoming acquainted with the unfamiliarity of the gourmet flair can promote more culinary successes, it can also help to shape a better palate. Nominated StarChef Rocco DiSpirito for a 1999 James Beard Foundation award emphasizes on FoodTv.com that in his own work, by distinguishing different tastes and textures of diverse ingredients, study and personality can generate superb food preparation. "I work to create visual and gustatory complexity and depth in my dishes," he said. "It's important to me that a dish is a balanced interplay of interesting textures and bright flavors." Creating in-depth, complex dishes that burst with distinct combinational flavors are foods that master chefs alone strive for. With their range of knowledge of knowing and understanding an assortment of epicure-type ingredients and profound cooking abilities, chefs are constantly pushing the envelope to create even more exclusive dishes. This confidence that is generated in cooks like, Julia Child and Emeril Lagasse inspires all chefs and non-chefs alike to create spectacular dishes.

Steve Vockrodt svockrodt@kansan.com Scott Reynolds/Kansan The mild-mannered Osbourne said people attended her shows for her music, not her reality-show fame. While the Denver crowd may have been receptive to Osbourne, the newest pop musician, the less-than-capacity Lawrence crowd at the Granada seemed more fixated on Osbourne, the daughter of Ozzy Osbourne. Kelly Osbourne performs on Friday, March 14 at the Granada at 11th and Massachusetts Street. The visit was a part of a six week tour to promote her debut album 'shut up.' At no point was such an attitude more obvious than during the last song when Osbourne invited several crowd members onstage to sing along. The mostly young audience members feverishly tried to pass off the microphone to others onstage to avoid the embarrassment of not knowing any of the song's lyrics. Once the Har Mar segment ended, Osbourne's backing band took the stage and began playing energetically, which signaled a welcome change of pace. A yellow-haired Osbourne appeared shortly after and sang to low vocal levels, which were not corrected until about three songs into The evening began with Har Mar Superstar, a solitary man singing along to prerecorded music who slowly stripped down to his underwear. Har Mar effused a sheer sense of confidence as he made several references to his sexual conquests. KELLY OSBOURNE ... C+ Where: Granada, 1020 Mass St. When: March 14 her forty-five minute set. Osbourne seemed somewhat comatose onstage, barely moving around and seeming unimpressed by the equally comatose crowd near the front of the stage. As the show continued, Osbourne warmed up to the performance and showed signs of delivering rather well. The set included nearly all the songs from her debut album Shut Up, including the title track as well as "Come Dig Me Out" and "Papa Don't Preach." Osbourne's nascent music career and relative inexperience as a front person was made obvious by several vocal gaffes and kinks, as evidenced by her singing with the microphone nowhere near her mouth in a performance that took several songs to stabilize. If she can shed the image her television show projects and she widens her scope as a legitimate music performer, her music career might hold future promise. Osbourne was effective in engaging the audience between songs, demonstrating her affability and growing comfort in performing. By the end of the tour, it should be conceivable that she enter the mold of a musician rather than an object on display. Vockrodt is a junior in journalism from Denver. So Long, Astoria by The Ataris Reviewed by Nate Harold nharold@kansan.com On its major label debut, the Southern California band The Ataris delivers a middle-of-the-road recording.

That's not to say the record is bad, but it is too safe and polished to truly stick out in a market flooded with similar-sounding bands. Contributed art Vocalist Kris Roe's singing ability has evolved into a more dramatic and varied style. On the title track, Roe starts off with a breathy, hushed vocal melody which develops into his signature higher pitched rasp in the chorus. The lyrics on So Long, Astoria seem fixated with calendar dates and seasons, as Roe describes the trials he confronts in life. In the song, "Summer of '79," he sings, "Our last day of summer, 1979." On the track, "In This Diary," Roe sings, "Here in this diary I write you visions of my summer."

Grade: C 1. 12 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FILM THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 'Willard' not deserving of remake REVIEW 10 THE SCOOPER Dear aspiring filmmaker: Crispin Glover's character communicates with rats in the movie Willard. The movie is a remake of the 1971 movie of the same name. Contributed art As a guy who's seen more than a few movies in his time, let me offer you this piece of advice: If, at some point in your career, you feel it absolutely necessary to remake an older movie, at least remake a bad movie. Aaron Passman apassman@kansan.com Case in point: Willard, the recent remake of the 1971 movie of same name. In the current remake, directed by Glen Morgan (Final Destination), the titular character is portrayed by Crispin Glover (best known as Back To The Future's George McFly). Willard is a troubled, friendless man who discovers he has a mysterious connection with rats. Thus, Willard uses his ability to communicate with rats, commanding them like a rodent army and exacting revenge upon his tormenters and all those who pushed him around — in particular his boss Mr. Martin (R. Lee Ermey, best known as the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket). WILLARD ... C A colleague of mine made the comment that Willard is a 90-minute movie with only about 10 minutes of story. That's a pretty accurate description. One of the problems early on is that we never see Willard build his connection with the rats. After a few futile attempts to clear out his rat-infested basement, he befriends a small white rat whom he names Socrates. And shortly afterward, lo and behold, he finds he can communicate with the rats! But that's about as far as it goes. We never get to see Willard bond with the rats — one minute they're just the basement pests and the next they're his best friends. If anyone was ever meant to play as bizarre a role as Willard Stiles though, it surely has to be Crispin Glover. And while his pale skin, dark hair and seemingly shy, Starring: Crispin Glover, R. Lee Ermey, Laura Elena Harring and Jackie Burroughs. Rated PG-13 for terror, violence, some sexual content and language. Playing at South Wind 12 Theatres, 3433 Iowa St. sensitive nature seem perfect for the role, sometimes it's too much. An actor should never show his or her top, because there's not much more they can give. Sometimes Glover goes too far, as in the scene where Willard meets with the insurance investigator at his mother's funeral. In this scene, he freaks out, and his performance is so over the top that it's hard to even consider taking it seriously. But despite moments like these, there are moments when Glover is simply perfect for the role and, considering the lack of hardly any supporting roles (aside from the rats, that is), it's good that Glover can basically carry the film on his own. But the real stars of the show are the rats. Socrates' and Willard's nemesis Ben, a monstrous, nearly foot-long rat who acts as the general of the rats to Willard's commander-in-chief, the rats are exactly what they should be — slithery, dirty, and squirm-inducing. Plus, the fact that it's damn hard to tell what was computer-generated and what was simply a real, honest-to-God rodent only help the movie overcome its massive limitations. But when Willard is good it's great, such as the shot of Willard standing amidst literally a sea of rats streaming out from an elevator shaft. But hands down the movie's best aspect is the Stiles mansion. Willard's home is simply perfect — large, old, foreboding, ominous and downright creepy — exactly what it should be. His home seems to fit perfectly with his character, and in a movie as touch-and-go as Willard, you have to take what you can get. I'll be honest: For as much as I was anticipating Willard, I wasn't expecting much from it, and I got what I was expecting. But the lessons contained therein are valuable lessons for the future filmmakers of the world, and despite its hindrances (of which there are many), Willard has much to offer the future filmmakers of the world. Sincerely, Your faithful film critic Passman is a Towanda junior in journalism and film. Auto Focus Movie:A DVD: A- Bob Crane was the Pee Wee Herman of the '60s and '70s, a beloved television personality whose dirty-sex personal life eventually grounded his star to dust. Paul Schrader's sexually explicit exposé of Crane's seedy night life and mysterious murder is catapulted by two brilliantences, one a given (Willem her a huge surprise (Greg features a documen- times and an — Stephen Shupe who reveals the secret to casting parts that call for minimal dialogue and even less wardrobe: Playboy Bunnies. 8 Mile Movie: B+ DVD: C- Centering on the underground free-style scene of Detroit, Eminem's gritty and accomplished film debut is a rare bright spot as far as pop crossovers go. As Rabbit (Eminem) and his soft-edged circle of black cronies cruise through the ghetto, 8 Mile occasionally resembles a Waynesbrothers parody of itself. The world the film inhabits, though, feels lived-in and racially harmonious in a way that explores common threads where other movies exploit petty differences. The disc is pretty thin on special features, and I'm guessing a film this acclaimed has a more deluxe version on the way. One advantage now is that you can skip to Eminem's and Brittany Murphy's sex scene via chapter stops. -SS Rodger Dodger Movie: A- DVD:A- Easily the best comedy about machodriven sexual politics since Swingers, Roger Dodger is a small film that deserves a big audience. Campbell Scott, who starred in another roles-of-the-sexes landmark, Cameron Crowe's Singles, plays the title character, a would-be lady's-man offering questionable advice about girls to his eager teen nephew, Nick (a winning Jessie Eisenberg). Roger and Nick's wild night out in Manhattan unfolds like an episode of Sex and the City as directed by Wes Anderson - funny and eccentric, but overwhelmingly focused on unearthing buried truths. A highlight on the disc, which is loaded for a movie of this size, has Eisenberg giving a stoner-guided tour of the film's New York locales. SS THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 MOVIES AROUND TOWN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 13 a LIBERTY HALL Adaptation Grade: A- (Opens Friday) Charlie Kaufman's Mad Hatter idea to write himself into his own screenplay pays off in spades in Spike Jonze's latest comedic stunner. Nicholas Cage gives a blistering performance as the screenwriter hired to adapt Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief, a decidedly non-cinematic book about flowers. Meryl Streep plays Orlean in some of the best sequences in the film, which feature an Oscar-winning Chris Cooper as a greasy horticulturist who journeys through the swamplands to lift endangered orchids. Charlie's descent from artistic integrity to derivative hell is one of the movies' most memorable unraveling acts in years, and 'Adaptation's restless originality all but guarantees it cult status. The Quiet American Grade: A- Thomas Fowler (Oscar nominee Michael Caine), a British journalist chasing the dragon and other interests in 1952 Saigon, meets Alden Pyle (should-havebeen-nominated Brendan Fraser), an American charmer who falls in love with Fowler's Vietnamese girlfriend. When Fowler investigates a violent political faction, one that's fighting both the Communists and the rebels, he finds Pyle waiting for him around every corner. Phillip Noyce's incredibly suspenseful rendering of Graham Greene's novel is the most politically inflammatory American movie in years, one that should provide plenty of fuel to the fire for today's anti-war movement. -SS SOUTHWIND12 Agent Cody Banks Grade:C Malcom in the Middle's Frankie Muniz makes the leap to the big screen with this unexceptional kid adventure. Muniz plays a typical Seattle teen with girl issues who's secretly a CIA super-agent. I loved this movie the first time when it was called Spy Kids and directed by Robert Rodriguez, who makes movies with eye-popping visuals and plenty of conceptual wit. Apart from a few laughs and some snappy casting, Agent Cody Banks is dull to look at with a silly robot plot that's way too complicated for kids to follow. There's enough bikini-wear on display here that it prompted one tyke at my screening to call out, "Oh, my gosh!" When I was his age we were treated to such family-friendly classics as Home Alone and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. But today, kid flicks have fully embraced the overly violent world of monster-mayhem cartoon television. -SS Basic(not reviewed) (Opens Friday) A promising thriller with a silly title, Basic reunites John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson for the first time since Pulp Fiction. Jackson plays a colonel both feared and loathed who disappears along with several of his elite Special Forces trainees during a hurricane in the jungles of Panama. Travolta is the DEA agent who's drawn into the mystery. John McTiernan (Die Hard and The Hunt for Red October - but also Rollerball) directs. Chicago Grade:B- -SS Everybody sings and dances just swell in this Academy Award-nominated take on the Bob Fosse Broadway hit, but after Chicago is over you may wonder what all the fuss was about. Director Rob 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. The Core (not reviewed) Opens Friday) The earth's inner core has stopped rotating, and pretty soon hundreds of people are sliding off the Golden Gate Bridge to their deaths. Delayed for nearly two years and released now in a time when the masses aren't exactly craving the escapism of a disaster epic, 'The Core' stars Aaron Eckhart and Hillary Swank as scientists who travel to the center of the earth to detonate a nuclear device. Sounds cheery. -ss Cradle 2 the Grave Grade: C A bungled thriller about a booty of black diamonds with nuclear capabilities, Cradle 2 the Grave opens with an elaborate heist followed by a full hour of zero excitement. The filmmakers rarely find the time to showcase Jet Li's poetic acrobatics. At one point, DMX walks up a wall like a ninja. It's a cool idea to blend cultures and conventions like that, but this is the only time Cradle 2 the Grave tries to reinvent some of the East-meets-West vocabulary created by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in Rush Hour Daredevil Grade: D+ -SS Art and commerce collide in Daredevil, easily the worst comic-book fiasco since Dolph Lundgren played The Punisher. Ben Affleck stars as a blind Hell's Kitchen lawyer who sees audible objects in his head and haunts dreary New York rooftops to brutalize bad guys. 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. Dreamcatcher Grade: B- -ss Four telepathic friends enter the snowy New England woods for a weekend hunting expedition, only to be hunted themselves by little green men. At the heart of this Stephen King story is one of the more intriguing ideas about alien invasions ever where interplanetary monsters draw upon dreams and hide behind the friendly-neighbors imaginings of such movies as Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In King's book, this concept was overwhelmed by a seemingly endless race against time, and Dreamcatcher's director, Lawrence Kasdan, possesses no other ambition than to film it faithfully. Some of the acting — especially by Damian Lewis as a shape-shifting alien with a James Bond accent — is fun. But the demands of big budget sci-fi creatures and special effects quickly take over the picture. -ss Head of State (not reviewed) Opens Friday Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) is on a bad streak and about to lose his job when his political party, the neighborhood Aldermen, calls him up to run for president. Rock's last comedy, Down to Earth, made worst-of-the-year lists, so this time he's producing and directing himself. Bernie Mac co-stars as Gilliam's older brother and take-no-prisoners running mate. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Grade:D - SS 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. (Ends today) — Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus The Hunted William Friedkin directed two classics back in the '70s (The French Connection and The Exorcist) and then faded fast. He has another shot at a comeback with this thriller about an AWOL assassin (Benicio Del Toro) who murders four deer hunters in the Oregon wilderness. Tommy Lee Jones plays the Special Forces trainer hired to track down the killer. -SS The Life of David Gale Grade: C+ The Life of David Gale has the courage of its own convictions. What it lacks is the grace to transmit them with subtlety. 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. Overwrought and over-directed. Carrie Rickey/KRT Campus Old School Grade: B+ 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. A movie that spoofs the greek experience has the artistic license to be rowdy, bawdy and completely lacking in moral fiber. The director, Todd Phillips, plays by those rules while also giving the film an exquisite sixth sense for the kitsch 1980s nostalgia most yuppies just can't escape. And as a newlywed streaking his way to a quick divorce, Ferrell goes Farley in a comedy that's savvy enough to give him free rein. -SS Tears of the Sun Grade: C- A Nigerian war film about genocide and American intervention, Tears of the Sun plays like 'Black Hawk Down' minus the wall-to-wall slam-bang action of that previous film, leaving only the sketched-in human relationships to fill up a two-hour running time. Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) strives for a more contemplative war film a la The Thin Red Line, but the script has so much ground to cover that familiar faces like Isaiah Washington and Donnie Wahlberg barely register. Only the cinematographer, Mauro Fiore, seems to realize this is a movie designed to engage an audience, and he enthralls with striking tropical landscapes. Bruce Willis leads this solemn enterprise, a movie that undercuts his back-to-back M. Night Shyamalan triumphs, 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Unbreakable'. -ss Willard(Reviewed on pg.12) --- 14 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VIDEO GAME Ada Flatt • Troy Frank • Chris Geyler • Kelly Geyler • Marissa Godina • Steven Gormley • Brian Goody • Michael Graham • Robin Greene • Kevin Junger • Mark Hammond • Amy Hammonzize • David Harnes • Becky Harpette • Erin Harmett • Amanda Harper • Travis Naveer • Lindsay Blindts • Hidden Thickness • Hank Hyde • Emilia McKinnon • Danielle Hincar • Rob Hobert Emily Hillier • Jenny Miller • David Woolfe • Rachel McIlroy • Richard McIlroy • Michael Montgomery • Arlene Moore • Lis Tieger • Richard O'Connor • Kate McKennell • Shawn Williams • Christine Moose • Kevin Muscaly • Eric Meeker • Aaron Porter • Matthew Miller • Gena Wallace • Mattie McGilligan • Michael Mitchell •俊彦 Machic • Leif Machtlie • Robert Woods • Doggie Devine • Bode Jonker • Carlie Walker • Trainee Bob • Benaler Phillips • Danielle Wilson • Jeff Wilson • John Wade • Young Clare Ziegel • Mary Zane • John Zybko • Mike Yakao • Ewan Miller • Glen Miller • Allen Filler • David Woolfe • Michel Unedward •俊彦 Machic • Leif Machtlie • Robert Woods • Doggie Devine • Bode Jonker • Carlie Walker • Trainee Bob • Benaler Phillips • Danielle Wilson • Jeff Wilson • John Wade • Young Clare Zelig • Mary Zane • John Zybko • Mike Yakao THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 **STUDENT SUPPORTERS** - Rich Adam *Leah Adams* *Laura Adams* *Alexam Akram* *Rakeleah Alma* *Allen Allan* *Beth Allen* *Kathryn Ashley* *Emily Ashley* *Carne Hill* *Cindy扎姆* *Patten Patton* *John Patton* *William D.

The devil hunter has gone through hell and back, and now he must return to stop another evil force that has surfaced. Devil May Cry 2 is the sequel to Devil May Cry, now a "greatest hits" game. It comes back with better graphics and a new character. When Devil May Cry came out, it was a cross between Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the movie Desperado. You could slash at the demons with your powerful sword or blast them to bits with your array of guns. Devil May Cry 2 combines a fast-paced, third-person shooter game with up-close, sword slashing-style combat. REVIEW D ante returns this time to hunt the demons that plague a city. A mysterious woman, Lucia, has summoned him to hunt and destroy a demon, Arius, before he becomes a king Devil May Cry 2 has superb game play and graphics. The only downside is that the game doesn't have a solid story. of all demons. Arius is trying to obtain four sacred objects and intends to rule both the demon and the human worlds. Most of the abilities Dante learned in Devil May Cry follow him to the sequel. However, the abilities are watered-down versions of the originals. For example, the "Stinger" technique that launches Dante forward while stabbing his opponent, doesn't doas much damage and is a lot slower in DMC2. The moves lack some of the power and finesse that they had in the first game. Chris Moore cmoore@kansan.com PlayStation.2 DREAMCRAZY 2 CAPCOM DEVIL MAY CRY2 ... B ■ Now available for Playstation 2 ■ Rated M for Mature ■ Sells for an average retail price of $50 Contributed art In DMC2, the graphics have improved. The city landscapes capture the game's players in their essence. Regarding the game's scenery, the detail of the interior of the skyscraper is nearly perfect. The design of the floors, walls and the rest of the building is a sight to see. 6.14 The game has definite replay value. DMC 2 is composed of two discs, "Dante" and "Lucia." Both characters follow a storyline. To conquer the full version of the DMC2, you must complete it with both characters. The only downside is that the characters have similar missions. One of the main features of the original game and its sequel is the "Devil Trigger" mode. Both characters can transform into powerful fighting demons with increased speed and power to perform moves at lightning speed. DMC2's Devil Trigger has an added feature: the amulet. This amulet allows you to use "devil hearts" that you acquire on your journey to add extra abilities to your Devil Trigger mode. Devil hearts can get your characters support abilities and new attacks. All in all, Devil May Cry 2 has superb game play and graphics. The only downside is that the game doesn't have a solid story. As an example of the game's tendency to divert from the story, the instruction manual goes into a two-page explanation of some ancient religion, but the religion never comes up in the game.

Contact Lucas Wetzel at 864-4810 or beak@kansan.com TONGUEINBEAK 1 WWW.KANSAN.COM/SATIRE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2003 Babysquirrels make for fine dining The following column has been reprinted from the February issue of "Martha Stewart's Post-Apocalyptic Living: Entertaining for the New World." Today, we're going to learn some easy and elegant ways of preparing fetal Sciurus Carolinensis, or, baby squirrels (brown or black). This recipe can be adapted for various flying squirrels and fox squirrels, but ground squirrels being the easiest of the genus to find at one's local grocery, the specifics refer to that particular variety of squirrel. --- By Shena Wolf beak@kansan.com Attaining the squirrels: Now, if your corner store is out of baby squirrels, I'd suggest first talking to the manager, and if that fails, attempt to run him over with your car. A good average speed is 30, maybe 35 mph. You can easily achieve this within the space of a parking lot, even with even the oldest of cars, provided you've taken care of the vehicle. Remember, transportation is important. Regular oil changes are vital to the survival of your car. When you have the offending manager in your sights, keep him/her in the middle of the windshield, which will cut down the risk of missing your target entirely. Even a glancing hit from a mid-sized sedan will be enough to imbed the experience in his or her memory for the rest of their natural life. I DARE YOU TO EAT THIS If reasoning and vehicular manslaughter fail to provide you with fetal squirrels, you can always go back to nature and catch your own. I use this mahogany squirrel-call, made with techniques learned from the roving bands of indigenous adolescent South Carolinans that I encountered during my safari across the United States a few years ago. The key thing is to ensure that the wood has been properly seasoned with the smoke of fresh willow branches and var- The key thing is to ensure that the wood has been properly seasoned with the smoke of fresh willow branches and varnished with the blood of virgins nished with the blood of virgins. Of course, if you don't have the time to make your own, you can always special-order one from a wholesaler. Try www.squirrel-calls.com or www.allvirginproducts.net. Be warned, articles bought from these sites will do the job, but don't expect miracles. Nothing beats handcrafted workmanship. After you've acquired a squirrel-call, find a large burlap sack to put your catch in. I wove mine from horsehair hand-collected from my stable of Morgan-Arabian stallions. You can do similar work by carding and spinning wool collected from your lappdog or cat. Go into a heavily wooded area, burlap sack in hand, and use the squirrel-call. You should immediately be swarmed by baby squirrels. Pick only the healthiest and most alert-looking squirrels: mad-squirrel disease is no longer a concern only to the English; it has invaded our shores and it is our responsibility as Americans to do our part to combat this. This means no catching and eating of mad baby squirrels. They can be angry, of course. That's perfectly all right. Cooking: Once you get your bag of squirrels home, it's time to prepare the sauce. Use two cups of a dark merlot. This batch was made from grapes grown on my vineyard in Italy. You can use commercial wine, but it just won't be as good. Simmer with vodka and butter for about twenty minutes on low heat, then put aside for now. You'll want it to be slightly cooled before you top the baby squirrels. Now for the squirrels: Skin each baby squirrel to the tail, leaving it on the body for decorative purposes. Then spoon on enough sauce to completely cover each baby squirrel. Arrange the squirrels in a large broiling pan and broil for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. After the 45 minutes is up, check to make sure that each skinned-baby-squirrel face shows an appropriate amount of shock. Appearance is everything with a dish like this one. Presentation: Place each broiled baby squirrel in the middle of a cream, floral-patterned plate. Matching china is a must for every host or hostess, and if you have unmatched dishes, run to K-Mart immediately or the meal will be a complete disaster. I suggest my fall line. Arrange the squirrel in whatever posture you prefer, and cover with grilled walnuts, pecans, and other assorted nuts. Serve lightly chilled, and accompany with a light Zinfandel.

Scientists skeptical of crop circle containing the word 'Buttface' A close-up of the letter "B" is shown in an aerial photo over a farm in Gloucester, England, where crop designs called Farmer Evans an unkind name. photo courtesy of Farmer Evans By Terry Pliwick beak@kansan.com Kansan Jayplay writer Exobiologists and UFOlogists from around the world have doubts about the authenticity of a recently discovered crop circle near Gloucester, England. Other researchers state that further testing, including electromagnetic field measurements at the site, observation of bend-angle at stem bases and a check for interweaving of stems, is required before the validity of the design can be confirmed conclusively. Circle researcher Dr. Ian Lyssing explained why this circle falls within an unusual subset of cases. "Most crop circles do not contain actual English words in them, or for that matter, recognizable words of any language," he said. "At least not a language familiar to us, of course." The recently created design contains the phrase "Farmer Evans is a Buttface," and also features an image of what appears to be a rough caricature of a man's face. This circle is one of hundreds that appear in wheat and other crop fields around the world every year. SO YOUR OFFICIAL STORY IS THAT THIS ISN'T A STOLEN FORD RENTAL CAR, BUT INSTEAD, YOUR "NICE NEW DODGE CARAVAN?" squirrel Dear Onion, why didn't anyone tell me you were my dad? Dear The Onion, I had a rude awakening last weekend. The kind of rude awakening no child should have. Even a naughty, frequently unfunny child like me. But now I know the truth. The truth about who my father is. And let me tell you, the truth hurts. I went to Chicago last weekend. The Windy City. I used to think they named it that because of the wind, but really its because of an old political campaign. Did you know that, *The Onion*? I bet you did. I bet you know a lot of things. But you never told me, *The Onion*. You never said a word. Anyway, when I was there, I saw something I'd never seen before. A free newspaper with satirical stories, with columns written about people who don't actually exist. I was shocked. Yes, The Onion, that something I saw was you. And after asking around town, the truth came out. Apparently my philandering mother, The Kansan, had a little too much fun one New Year's Eve in Midway park and less than a few weeks later in a newsroom closet, I was born. When Mommy told me my papa was a rolling stone, I thought she meant my father was Rolling Stone magazine. But now I know that it was you. Your clever headlines and doctored photos all but screamed "Tongue in Beak, I am your father." You know the ending of *Empire Strikes Back* when Darth Vader says "I am your daddy" and Luke Skywalker yells back, "That's not true! That's impossible!"? Luke Skywalker looks awful in that scene. Part of that is because Mark Hamill got in a motorcycle accident before it was filmed, but another part is because he had just learned that his life was a lie. I know how he feels. But I'm trying to be at peace with my role as a lyrical little leaguer, a Swedish turnip on a satirical peasant farm. Sometimes people demand I act more like you and cover serious issues like war, famine and Student Senate elections. And in the future, I will try to do this. In the meantime, please tell me you care. And for mom's sake, please quit swinging your steamin' renob around with those loose moralled college publications. Fondly.

Daney, professor of social welfare, has been giving lectures about sexual expression for more than 20 years, but an amendment to the state budget is threatening to ban his teaching material. The Kansas Senate voted Wednesday 24-13 to prohibit public universities, like the University of Kansas, from purchasing obscene videos for classes like the one taught by Dailey or risk losing money for the offending department. The amendment could mean the loss of the $3.1 million budget for the School of Social Welfare, which offers the class. Dalley said he wasn't in a position to discuss the amendment at this time. Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, proposed the amendment to the state budget bill for next year that would terminate funds to any university department that purchased or displayed any videos deemed obscene, specifically citing human sexuality classes in her proposal. Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood, said the proposal was made based on investigations Wagle had done and reports from constituents about Dailey's human sexuality class. Vratil said he opposed the amendment because it was not fitting for an appropriations bill. "My initial reaction was that the Senate floor was not the best place to resolve a problem of that sort, if it is a problem," Vratil said. "We've only heard one side of the story and I'm sure there are least two more versions of the story." The appropriations bill passed Wednesday by the Senate is different than the bill passed Tuesday by the state House of Representatives. The two bills will be considered by a conference committee and the amendment may be removed from the compromised bill, Vratil said. "It's trying to target KU but it's going to everyone," Vratil said. "It's not over, not by a long shot." The amendment states material is obscene if the average person applying contemporary community standards would find it obscene, if it lacks serious educational or artistic value or if it contains normal or perverted sexual acts. masturbation or lewd acts. Leah Schmitz, Benton junior, is enrolled in the class but said she didn't find the material to be obscene or offensive. "It is completely professional, the way Professor returns after visa expired By Maggie Newcomer editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan A University of Kansas professor found it difficult to follow the advice of friends while she was stranded in Hong Kong for more than three months. SEE FUNDS ON PAGE 8A "Everyone told me to relax, to do whatever I wanted to do and just enjoy my life," said Yi Jin, assistant professor of economics who has taught at the University for two years. "But it was impossible for me to relax." 1 Jin Jin's original nine-day research trip turned into more than three months when her visa expired. Her first day back in class was March 13. Jin said it took a long time to obtain a visa because of the complicated screening process. Jin, a Chinese citizen, said she was worried and frustrated. "I kept having to go to the Consulate and sometimes I didn't even get in the door," she said. "They had to fax my fingerprints to Washington, D.C., to compare them with suspects and criminal records," Jin said. "They only take fingerprints on Wednesday afternoons for one hour." Jin said that, because of the time constraint, she had to return to the U.S. Consulate five times before her fingerprints were actually taken. Once the employees had taken her prints, it took six weeks for her visa to be approved. While Jin was in Hong Kong, Economics Chairman Joe Sicilian took over the lecturing for her two macroeconomics classes. Sicilian said he was discouraged because he thought Jin might be gone for the whole semester. He didn't know until one week beforehand that Jin was returning. Sicilian said the teacher transition went smoothly for the students. Students could contact Jin through email, and the economics department mailed to her the tests and assignments to grade. "If anyone had any problems, they didn't tell me about them," Sicilian said. "It will be difficult both ways, but the students have all been cooperative given the situation." Genevieve Gordon, Wichita junior and one of Jin's students, said she was relieved the situation was finally resolved. "We didn't know if she would be coming back at all," Gordon said. "I'm just glad everything worked out for her and she can get back to her life." — Edited by Christy Dendurent New Labs on Back Burner State budget cuts have put plans for the Undergraduate Natural Sciences Laboratory Learning Center on hold. The new building is part of a plan to update facilities in Malott Hall. Conceptual illustration from GLPM architects Plans for science building pushed back because of budget cuts By Amy Potter apotter@kansan.com Kansan staff writer "Time has changed modern science." Givens said. "Things are done a Last year was supposed to mark the first year of construction for the Undergraduate Natural Sciences Laboratory Learning Center, a new building that would ease overcrowding and update laboratories that exist now in Malott Hall. However, state budget cuts and an overall lack of funding put the new building on the back burner. But problems with older equipment and concerns about safety still remain in Malott. Many of Malott's laboratories are outdated, said Richard Givens, professor of chemistry. lot differently than they were 50 years ago when Malott was constructed." Other concerns range from overcrowded stock rooms, lack of air conditioning in some of the labs and too few hoods that remove fumes. Each lab has two hoods for 20 students. In 1997, departments in Malott pulled together private funds to create a plan for the new building. The two major benefits to the new building include improved laboratory facilities and multidisciplinary interaction, said Jack Landgrebe, professor emeritus of chemistry. The building, which would be constructed in the parking lot between Malott and Haworth halls, would benefit the departments of chemistry, biology, geology and physics. "There would be a whole group of people with knowledge across different disciplines," Givens said. "Students need to have that." Extensive remodeling is not an option because Malott labs are still overcrowded, and the building doesn't allow for a number of new improvements to be made. The cost of center was estimated at $61 million in 1997. "Every year that passes when it's not under construction will add a couple million to the price," Landgrebe said. "Now that five years have passed the question remains: 'Is this still what we need?'" Givens said. Givens also expressed concern that they would have to revisit the current plans. SEE LABS ON PAGE 8A Ex-student sentenced in drugging By Erin Ohm eohm@kansan.com Kansas staff writer In an emotional statement yesterday morning in Douglas County District Court, Lindsey Bergman told Judge Robert Fairchild she could not imagine what would have happened to her and two friends if she had not realized they had been drugged. "I just remember the fear I had when I figured out what was happening," Bergman said in court. Bergman, Lansing junior, was one of three women to whom former University of Kansas student Michael D. Carpenter gave the drug diazepam, commonly called Valium, in August. Carpenter will spend 14 months in prison, the judge decided yesterday, following the recommendation of the prosecution based on a plea agreement. Fairchild ordered the sentence to be carried out immediately. In the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped a charge of drug possession, two charges of drug distribution and a charge of attempted rape. The agreement also omitted language saying the crimes were sexually motivated. Several friends and members of Carpenter's family attended the sentencing. As he was leaving the courtroom, Carpenter asked court security officers if he could change clothes and say goodbye to his family before he was taken to prison. Feelings were strong on both sides. When Bergman and Kristen Prosser, Great Bend junior and one of the three SEE SENTENCED ON PAGE 8A High alert causes housing lockdown By Jessica Palimeno jalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer During spring break, a decision was made by housing officials to modify security procedures within residence and scholarship halls. Some of the changes include the locking of any doors other than the main front doors and the variation of security hours and staffing. With the nation on high terrorist alert, the Department of Student Housing is locking most of the doors of its residence and scholarship halls. "Things are not the same as they used to be," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. "Things are changing and we are trying to stay current." Stoner said the changes were made in response to confusion regarding procedures during the different levels of terrorist alert. He said he did not believe there was a perceived threat or imminent danger of terrorism, but he wanted people to think more about security issues. All side and additional doors in the residence halls are now required to be locked, and staff members must complete additional tasks. Now all residents must enter through the main doors at all times. At the scholarship halls, all the doors are locked 24 hours a day, and residents use a door code to enter, said Dan Suitor, assistant director of scholarship halls. Desk attendants in the residence halls are testing the security alarms at the bottom of every hour to ensure that none of the doors are open, said Jessica Christenberry, De Soto freshman and Hashinger Hall desk attendant. Some students say the lockdown has caused inconveniences. SEE LOCKDOWN ON PAGE 8A Because of the nation's alert status, only the front doors of Lewis Hall may stay unlocked. Courtney Kublen/Kansan Allison Fine, Leawood junior, and Brendan Donnelly, Manchester, Mo., freshman, discuss the lockdown situation at the front desk of Lewis Hall. Donnelly said that almost everyone recognized one another in the residence halls and that he felt safe there. 1 . --- 27 2A • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Inside Front FRIDAY,MARCH 28,2003 News briefs CORRECTION Thursday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error.

Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Fallon Farokhi speaks fluent Farsi, has competency in French and Italian and she'd like to learn Spanish. Her formidable language skills have allowed Farokhi to feel comfortable in a variety of exotic locales, including Iran and Italy. Now she has her sights set on someplace closer to home: the student body vice presidency. She is Drew Thomas' running mate for the Delta Force coalition. "Fallon's a multitasker. She can have so many things to do,but she always has time." Lauren Salvini Lawrence sophomore "I just thought this was the next natural attempt for me to do something on campus," said F a r o k h i , Lawrence junior. "I figured I'm still on campus and I'm not done yet. I wanted to do something more." Though she's Though she's lived in Lawrence since she was 3 years old, Farokhi was born in Switzerland. Her family is of Iranian descent, which is how she learned Farsi, the most common language in the Middle Eastern country. Her parents make trips back to Iran at least once a year. Being involved has been a part of Meet the Candidates Editor's note: To prepare students for Student Senate elections, The University Daily Kansan will profile each coalition's presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Farokhi's life since coming to the University of Kansas in the Fall 2000. As a freshman, she served on the Multicultural Affairs committee and was appointed as an associate senator. Since then, Farokhi has served in various posts in Student Union Activities, including the organization's presidency this year. Farakhi's father, Saeed Farokhi, who is a professor of aerospace engineering at the University, said his daughter had been a leader throughout her life. "She's always been a go-getter," he said. "We've sensed her leadership skills since she was a child. She's truly a people person." Noticeably absent from Farokhi's résumé is long-term experience as a student senator. Though she's served as cochair of Senate's Multicultural Affairs committee for the last two yeas, she said the negative image Senate had with much of the student body pushed her away from more work in the organization. Making Senate a more welcoming place will be one of Farokhi's top goals if she is elected. 'When people come to committee meetings or they come around the office, people don't talk to them," she said. "I feel like with the vice presidency I can have relationships with people and change that." Farokhi said her experience in SUA as well as a good understanding of Senate rules and procedures made her prepared for the responsibilities of being student body vice president. "Fallon's a multitasker," said Lauren Salvini, Lawrence sophomore and friend of Farokhi since they were in eighth grade. "She can have so many things to do, but she always has time." Being busy doesn't stop Farokhi from finding time for herself. Farokhi frequents coffee shops, listens to international music and plays the piano, trumpet, drums and percussion. She also has a secret vice. "Looking at books for kids is always guaranteed to bring a smile to my face," Farokhi, who's an elementary education major, said. "I spend up to three hours in Borders, just looking at books for kids." Farokhi said she planned to pursue a master's degree at the University when she graduated next spring. As for her long-term future, Farokhi remains ambivalent. Though an elementary education major doesn't suggest a future in politics, she's keeping her options open. "I haven't ruled anything out yet," she said. Edited by Michelle Burhenn SLA Anton Bubnovskiy/Kansan Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence junior, is running for student body vice president with Drew Thomas.

Like it or not, you will be ejected from South Park. Find a new spot for your city and stay there until the termination of this so-called unjust war. The Lawrence Free State Community will be broken up. City officials will remove them from South Park shortly. This is a moment of truth for this protest movement. Is this a publicity stunt or is there real passion here? Hit the streets and the surrounding areas; find a new ground. Once there, reestablish your tent city and dig in your heels. President Bush and the administration are warning America to prepare for a long conflict, so prepare yourselves for a long camping trip. Prove to the city and everyone else who will listen that you are willing to continue your demonstration indefinitely. Prove that you are willing to continue, even if the novelty of tent life wears off, reporters and photographers stop coming and the weather deviates from the sunny 70s we have been enjoying of late. If you cannot sustain the protest until the bitter end of the war, we suggest that you recognize the worth of promoting hot showers and air conditioning.

THE U.S. ECONOMY TAX CUTS MORE TAX CUTS BUSH'S OTHER WAR PERSPECTIVE Ninth Circuit Court decision makes U.S. seem hypocritical There has been much misunderstanding about a controversial There has been much misunderstanding about a controversial ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court ruled that recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, when led by teachers, was an unconstitutional act. Since that day, the ruling has been misconstrued by the lay public to mean that anytime anyone said the pledge, it was somehow an unconstitutional act. This is not the case. The United States enjoys freedom of religion because of a small phrase in the Constitution that says, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion." This phrase does not mean that Congress is only to avoid establishing a national church. It says that Congress shall do nothing that could be seen as a national endorsement of a particular religious creed. COMMENTARY PETER HILBERTS Does the United States seem to any casual observer to endorse religion? Yes. We may give lip service to the idea that we have freedom of religion, but how free are we? Many courthouses across the United States, including the Supreme Court, are fighting to keep up large displays of the Ten Commandments, citing them as the basis of our laws. As if we would never have figured out that it was a bad idea to kill one other. But consider Hinduism, a polytheistic religion. When the local government tells you that the laws you live under are based in an ancient document that commands you to have no other God before the God of the Bible, what Matthew Dunavan opinion@kansan.com There is no way around it. "Under God" is a religious statement that establishes the existence of a deity and says that said deity is the sole god that watches over us. As a person of a minority religious viewpoint whose people have been persecuted for centuries, including one of the worst cases of religious intolerance in all of Western history, I know what it is like to be looked down on for being different. The pressure to conform, at least in thought, is enormous. does that say about your beliefs? Congress opens with a prayer. "In God we Trust" is printed on our national money. Students were formerly forced to recite the Lord's Prayer and study scripture in public schools. There is nothing wrong with statements of religious belief, but to insert them by legislation into the public sphere is to give the government's stamp of approval, or endorsement, to a particular type of religion. Ruling the phrase "Under God" in the pledge unconstitutional does not diminish the free exercise of anyone's political rights. All people, including me, are free to recite the pledge, the Lord's Prayer or scriptural passages, whenever and wherever they like. That includes public school buildings. The Constitution only prohibits that the government appears to be endorsing what I say while reciting one of those. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that, when a teacher leads the class in saying the Pledge, you are free not to say it with no mandated school punishment. But you are still not free. Psychological coercion plays a role in what we say and do, from the way we dress to the things we do on Friday nights. Children with minority religious viewpoints who are faced with a school full of peers and choose to refuse saying the pledge open themselves up for ostracization and isolation. Most young children will choose to compromise their beliefs rather than face teasing and ridicule. To have a government free from endorsement of religion is the only way to preserve the beautiful religious traditions of our country. It is not political correctness run amok; it is the necessity that allows all religious persuasions, from Jew to Muslim to Buddhist to Religious Humanist, to practice their religion with the dignity that befits all religious practices. By taking this unpopular position, I, at least, will support "Liberty and justice for all." Matthew Dunavan is a Topeka Senior in political science and philosophy.

Exercise caution when using credit cards Once long ago, credit cards were offered as a service for emergencies, when a person was unexpectedly dumped into a situation that demanded a large expenditure of money. Now they pay for everything from airplane tickets to a hot dog at Wescoe Tarrace, and credit card companies are eager to shove applications down the throats of anyone they can. M. S. COMMENTARY Credit card companies make their profits primarily by charging interest and late fees, so responsible people who pay their bills on time and in full are unprofitable given the cost of keeping track of the account. Conversely, people who go through life with a $1,000 balance and make only minimum payments, like many college students, are gold mines. Sam Lane opinion@hansan.com In the dark ages before credit cards, people used to pay for their purchases with money. There was the clear understanding that part of purchasing things was giving up the money for them. Now the predatory credit card industry encourages people to use cards for their convenience. Using a card breaks the mental link I don't know any sure-fire way to avoid credit card debt, short of becoming unrealistically responsible or avoiding cards completely. But the following might help. First, pay off as much current debt as humanly possible. Setaside part of a pay-check for just that. The less left unpaid, the less interest credit companies charge, and the less you pay them money that you didn't spend. Also, it might help to reform that buypay association if you make your credit card purchases toward the end of the month, closer to the time you get your bill. When you're about to use your card to pay for something, ask yourself whether you can pay in cash or write a check instead. If not, ask the obvious question: "If I can't pay for this now, can I pay for it when the bill comes?" If you are absolutely addicted to the convenience of using credit cards, put them some place unusual such as your shoe. You'll think twice about how convenient credit cards are if you have to take off your shoe in the checkout line to use them and explain the smell to the cashier. Reform the psychological association between buying and paying by writing down all the credit card purchases you make as soon as you leave the checkout line. Write the purchases on a card that you keep in the same sleeve as your credit card and add the amount to your total on the spot. That way you know exactly how much you need to set aside for this month's bill. 16 And be careful when you apply for a card. Obviously, ask whether you need another card before applying. And before you apply, look for two things First, is there an annual fee (a fee just for having the card, regardless whether you use it)? A lot of cards don't have one, so don't settle for a card that does. Second, what is the permanent annual percentage rate? All cards push low introductory annual percentage rates to look good, so you get used to not worrying about interest when you leave a balance. It will be your surprise and the company's profit when the introductory period ends and they start charging normal interest. APR offers are as low as 15.9 percent, so don't settle for 20 percent or more with this slow economy driving rates down. Credit cards are lures to snare people into debt. Not falling for the trap ultimately requires personal responsibility, but nobody's perfect. Until that changes, keep putting the card in your shoe.

Most of those arrested at the "die-in" face charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration, police said. Anti-war groups had called for civil disobedience, hoping to draw more attention than the largely lawful protests held daily in the city since hostilities began in Iraq. "Nothing else gets attention," Fordham University student Johannah Westmacott said as she jotted down officers' badge numbers. The "die-in" was intended to symbolize Iraqi war victims, said organizers of M27, the ad-hoc coalition behind the event. It was one of a number of scattered demonstrations yesterday in New York as part of a "no business as usual" protest theme. A dozen people demonstrated outside Tiffany & Co., and five were arrested after a scuffle with police near CNN's offices. At the Fifth Avenue protest, officers arrested those who refused to rise. They cuffed many with plastic restraints before half-carrying them into waiting police trucks. As helicopters hovered overhead, the protesters some beating drums chanted "Hey-hey, ho-ho, Bush's war has to go" and "Peace now!" They were sporadically heckled by passing businessmen and construction workers. Student-produced shows to fill airtime By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com Kansan staff writer KUJH-TV is developing new programming after the station lost the All News Channel in October 2002. Gary Hawke, KUJH general manager, said the station was calling its new programming "The Legends of KU." In addition to its current news and sports broadcasts, KUJH is launching new shows with formats similar to shows on ESPN Classic, A&E, the History Channel and C-SPAN, he said. New programs on the station include a sketch comedy show entitled Off the Wall, a film show called Out of Focus, a talk show and a MTV-style Cribs show. Out of Focus has premiered, and Hawke said he expected the other three to air within a few weeks. The station has also been replaying past Kansas men's basketball games. KUJH14 "We receive a lot of help from INTERNET·TV AT VIRTUAL LAN Peter Cropper, KU graduate and Lawrence resident, said he enjoyed watching the old basketball games on the station. "They cut out all of the commercials, so watching an entire game doesn't take that long," Cropper said. "It's also nice to see Drew in the blue again." After the station lost the All News Channel, the station decided to try to come up with the programming to fill the time Hawke said. "The station technically is a commercial station. Hopefully we will receive some revenue down the line." Gary Hawke KUJH-TV general manager "We are always looking for student-produced stuff to air," Hawke said. "We won't have any music video shows, and comedy is very hard to do." Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of theater and film, said the show Out of Focus, started by Chris Martin, Prairie Village senior, gave film students new opportunities. "Now students can produce a film that can be seen by a large community where as before many students didn't see the work of these student filmmakers."Jacobson said. The students are thrilled to get a response, he said. "Before the show, the student films were screened at the end of semester screening and some went to the KAN film festival," Jacobson said. Hawke said students interested in developing a show would have to contact the station, write a proposal and make a pilot. He said the station had been working with film majors to broadcast their work. "The station technically is a commercial station," Hawke said. "Hopefully we will receive some revenue down the line." KUJH airs on channel 14 in Lawrence and channel 68 in Overland Park, and on channel 66 on Sunflower Cablevision in Lawrence and Eudora. Edited by Michelle Burhenn MARK WALKER Puzzled pig shares spotlight with students Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan Zach Lee, Highland Park, III., senior, stands with Megan Sinclair, Wichita senior, in front of the video segment they produced for one of their journalism classes. The segment, about a pig that was raised by a dog, was picked up to air on the Animal Planet channel April 17. Sinclair said it was rewarding to have something that she had originally just worked on for a class air nationally. By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Occasionally, an assignment can get a student more than just a grade. For University of Kansas journalism students Zach Lee and Megan Sinclair, an ordinary assignment got them on national television. "You turn something in, you get it graded, and you think that's it." Sinclair said. Last semester Lee, Highland Park, Ill., senior, and Sinclair, Wichita senior, taped a television package in their TV News I class about a pig that acted like a dog. The package will be shown on the Animal Planet channel on the show Amazing Animal Videos. It will air at 9 p.m. Thursday, April 17, on Sunflower Broadband channel 40. "I'll make my friends watch it and maybe pop some bubbly." "It's a little strange because it was the first package we made on the second day of lab," Lee said. "I didn't know how big a deal it is." The pair got the idea from a blurb in the Lawrence Journal World and drove for 45 minutes Megan Sinclair Wichita state about her assignment that will be aired on Animal Planet to Rantoul in east central Kansas. The pig, named Wiggles, grew up on a farm owned by Don and Nellie Davis. It was put into the same holding pen as the dogs, and the mother dog, named Clementine, began nursing it. Before long, the pig acted exactly like one of the puppies. "The pig is now a dog," Lee said. "He even fetches and plays with the other dogs." Soon after making the package, Termite Art Productions, a company that finds and produces packages for television networks, contacted Dick Nelson, KUJH-TV newsroom supervisor and teacher of Lee and Sinclair's class, about putting the pig story on Animal Planet. "It's certainly unexpected," Nelson said. "It was a little early in their career to be doing a package like that, but they had such good material that they did the project." Nelson said the production company paid $150 for the package. The check was enough to cover Lee and Sinclair's production costs. Both students have made plans to watch their piece on national television next month. "I'm going to tape it because it'll be good for my résumé," Sinclair said. "I'll make my friends watch it and maybe pop some bubbly." — Edited by Ryan Wood lookin' for the best place to watch the game?

"I did sit through quite a long part of what he had to say but I'd heard enough," said U.S. Ambassador John Ngropone. Iraq's U.N. envoy Mohammed Al-Douri charged that the United States had arranged for contracts to rebuild Iraq in 1997, six years before the U.S.-led war began last week. Negroponte walked out as Al-Douri continued speaking, accusing the U.S. of a military campaign to wipe out the Iraqi people. Al-Douri was the last of more than 80 speakers at the first open Security Council debate on Iraq since the war began last week. About a dozen countries that not on the council supported the U.S. position, but the majority expressed regret that Iraq's disarmament could not be achieved peacefully. The Associated Press Design professor's works on display in Kansas City Artwork influenced by heritage, nature By Lauren Bristow lbristow@kansan.com Kansan staff writer While rummaging though the attic of his newly purchased home in 1979, David Vertacnik, associate professor of design, found an old garden ruler. The ruler, a promotional tool from a hardware store, helps gardeners space the placement of their plants. A dusty athletic. A previous owner's forgotten trinket. Inspiration. "On the ruler it said, 'Soil will feed you,'" he said. "I thought, 'Far out.'" Vertacnik was taken by the message because it helped explain the inspiration behind his artwork, he said. Vertacnik is a second-generation Slovenian-American and his artwork partly draws on that heritage, as well as his upbringing on a small farm outside of Indianapolis. "I was taught to have respect for the land," Vertacnik said. "When I saw that ruler, it was an affirmation." Vertacnik is currently displaying about 26 pieces of his work at the Dennis Morgan Gallery,114 Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City,Mo. His exhibit, "Kinetic Bouquet" features pieces composed of materials such as clay, cast bronze and iron and other mixed media, such as apple wood from his orchard at home, he said. A floral theme is represented in many of the pieces. "When you see the exhibit, you have to realize that you're not going to see flowers," he said. "At least not in the literal sense." Vertacnik also likes to use items that he has picked up or found throughout his life in his artwork. "I love found objects just for what they are," he said. "The mechanic in me appreciates a tool for what it did. The artist in me appreciates what the tool represents." In his piece "Pink Cobbler," Vertacnik used a cobbler's shoe form as a model to create ceramic reproductions and then grouped those together in the shape of a blossom, he said. "I like to taking mechanical "When you see the exhibit,you have to realize that you're not going to see flowers. At least not in the literal sense."

Dennis Morgan, director of the gallery showing Vertacnik's work, described the pieces as whimsical and humorous. "The titles of his work all elude to his connection to nature and his heritage," Morgan said. "His humor shows through in the use of found objects in the creation of a new piece." Vertaenik's show will be on display at the gallery until April 26. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A Edited by Ryan Wood David Vertacnik, associate professor of design, has approximately 26 pieces of art on display at the Dennis Morgan Gallery in Kansas City, Mo., through April 26.

Buddhists follow the teachings of Buddha. They follow four noble truths: all of life is suffering, suffering is caused by craving, to end suffering and craving and to follow the middle path. Chanting and meditation is an integral part of the faith. "By chanting we can calm down," said Feilun Chen, Central Taiwan graduate student. "This is like praying in Christian." The KU Buddhist Association meets at 7:30 every Friday night at room 4007 in Wescoe Hall to practice chanting for two hours. At 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays, they meet to chant and read the Sutra, or the teachings of Buddha, for three and half hours. "There's a simple procedure, we mainly chant. We chant the name of Buddha, followed by reading the Sutra," said Cheng-Shan Liu, Buddhist Association president and Taipei, Taiwan graduate student. "There's a simple procedure, we mainly chant. We chant the name of Buddha, followed by reading the Sutra." Cheng-Shan Liu Buddhist Association president After chanting, members discuss what they read in the Sutra. "Every time you read it, it has new meanings." Liu said. Later on Saturday, the group meets again to listen to a lecture from Buddhist master, Chin Kung, collected on a series of compact discs. Liu said regular members go to the practices to show others that they are practicing and to encourage others to continue their practices. When the group meets to chant, members place a picture of Buddha at the front of the room. Each member of the association bows to Buddha as if to say hello to the teacher. Men then sit to the right of the picture while women sit to the left. Both sides face each other with a path in the middle. They then chant a name for Buddha, "Amitofo." After about an hour the group takes a break, then continues with the practice. When the practice is over, all members bow to the picture of Buddha again. Members of the association say they have benefited from the chant practices in different ways. "I feel I've become smarter, I can calm down easy," Chen said. Tao Hong, Shandong, China, graduate student, said she could learn two things from the practices: Who she is and what the relation is between her and the environment. As the weather gets warmer, the Buddhist Association will add another practice to its weekly regiment. On Saturday mornings, the group will buy fish and crickets from local pet stores to set free into lakes and fields, respectively. "They don't know human language," Liu said. "Their thankfulness will be detected by the heavens. Good luck will go back, sent to the people who do this." When members set the animals free, they chant to open their minds and wish the animals well. Liu said those interested in Buddhism could attend the practices or visit the association's Web site at www.ku.edu/-amtb. "We are an open society," Liu said. "We meet together to give everybody a chance to join." — Edited by Amber Byarlay BEGIN YOGA The person in the foreground is sitting on a yoga mat, facing away from the camera.

National Video Game League located in Olathe Bv Nicole Roché By Nicole Roche nroche@kansan.com Kansan staff writer It might be the newest team sport, but players don't necessarily have to be in the same room. Guns and grenades are involved, too, but no one gets injured. bandwair That's because the game is Halo, a firstperson shooting game released for Microsoft's Xbox in 2001. “It’s kind of like a sport,” said Thomas Cooper, Bonner Springs sophomore and Halo junkie. “But it’s not like, 'I lost a game — I'm going to lose the season.'” Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan Cooper and other students travel to a gaming center in Olathe, known as the National Video Gaming League, to play repeated rounds of the popular game. Inside, the gaming center resembles a cross between an arcade and your parents' living room. Black high-backed bean bag chairs, facing eight 50 inch high definition televisions, line the room. It's fitting that most gamers refer to the center as NVGL - Cooper said most gamers didn't use each others' real names at the center, but rather code names. Cooper's code name is Dragon. Wichita junior Kevin Augspurger and Andale junior Cody Gorges play Halo to hone their skills for an upcoming video game tournament. The tournaments,which are at least once a month, offer winning teams cash prizes. "I guess I've always liked mythology. Cooper said to explain the origins of his code name. ing guy," although he would patiently correct those who are new to the code name system Cooper said he wasn't "that obsessive gam- "By the way, it's not 'The Dragon,' just 'Dragon,'" he said. Cooper is teaming up with Special K, a Manhattan gamer he met at NVGL, for a Halo tournament tomorrow. The winning team will advance to a regional tournament. An upcoming national tournament in Atlanta pays $50,000 to the winner. NVGL, located at 12013 S. Strangline Road., is a place for gamers to meet and compete, said Tim Bourassa of Olathe, who started the center 10 months ago. "Playing your computer is no longer fun, because eventually you start picking up on patterns." Bourassa said. "But people are completely unpredictable." Gamers pay $7 an hour or $21 a night and can play more than 200 Xbox games the center owns. The center is open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and until midnight on weekends. NVGL is closed on Mondays. xBox is the only console available for play at NVGL. Bourassa said, because he thought it was hands-down the best system on the market. NVGL can accommodate 32 Halo players simultaneously using Xbox Live, a program that links Xboxes through the Internet. Cody Gorges, Andale junior, first made the trek to NVGL in August. Despite limited success in tournament play, Gorges said he traveled to the center for the close player interaction. Bourassa said he had no immediate plans to open a satellite store in Lawrence, although frequent gamers from the Lawrence area had prompted discussion of the idea. Meanwhile, loyal gamers continue to make the forty-minute drive to Olathe. Kevin Augspurger, Wichita junior, may be Dragon's greatest rival. The two will have the opportunity to play each other in tomorrow's competition. Augspurger is practicing with his team member, his brother Derrick from Wichita, for tomorrow's tournament. "His code name is Heavy D because everyone calls him D," Augspurger said. "And he's a big guy." Augspurger said he was confident his team would perform well, and he wasn't intimidated by Dragon. "He's not the person to beat, but he's one of them," he said. "And he's not 'The Dragon'—it's just 'Dragon.'" Edited by Todd Rapp START YOUR MASS STREET EVENING AT MISS. STREET DELI INC.

"We were a little offended by the comment." Bergman said. Carpenter received a sentence of eight month for the three charges of aggravated battery against the women and 14 months for distributing the Valium. He will spend a total of 14 months in prison because Fairchild said the penalties could be served at the same time. Carpenter will be supervised for 24 months after he is released, and Fairchild also ordered Carpenter to pay $400 to repay the state for lab fees in the case. Carpenter had no previous criminal record, defense attorney Thomas Bath Jr. said, and he was now convicted of four felonies. Bath also noted that his client had taken full responsibility for his actions. Carpenter apologized for his actions in court, saying he was sincerely sorry for any harm he had caused. "You will never see me back here again," he told Fairchild. Carpenter was a paraprofessional for Lawrence Public Schools at the time of the drugging. William Ricketts, a former employer at Southwest Junior High School, spoke on Carpenter's behalf at the sentencing. He said Carpenter was dependable and faithful to the students, staff and himself. "Today we still miss him and our program is showing him being absent," he said. Prosser said she did not know how Carpenter could serve as a role model based on his actions. "Something that really impressed me and still really concerns me is that he worked around children," she said. Prosser said after she was drugged Aug.29, she had to start the semester over and make up a lot of her schoolwork. She said the distress of that night would probably continue. Bergman said she was glad she attended the sentencing because she couldn't remember what Carpenter looked like. Both women thought the sentencing helped bring closure to the experience. Fairchild said the defense had 10 days from yesterday to appeal the ruling and scheduled a restitution hearing on May 2 at 11 a.m. At the restitution hearing, a judge will hear evidence and decide on an amount of money owed to the victims.

It was difficult to accommodate the needs of everyone with three major departments in one building, said Bruce Johnston, lab education technician. The departments are looking to several options to raise support for the new building. KU First and federal money could both be answers to their problems. The only way to secure federal money would be to combine the undergraduate labs with some graduate-level research labs. Landgrebe said securing large amounts of money from the state for the project was not currently an option.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B SPORTS COMMENTARY FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY Brad Zollars bzollars@kansan.com Nick delivers heavenly game against Devils Back when the Jayhawks played Texas in a key Big Monday match-up, I thought I had seen the best Nick Collison had to offer. Boy, was I wrong. The Kansas forward all but willed his team to victory last night in a gutwrenching and amazing 69-65 Jayhawk victory. Not to be denied, Collison poured in 33 points and 19 rebounds, all of which were desperately needed, as the Jayhawks pulled away down the stretch. The stats, however, weren't the most impressive thing; it was how he got them. Collison dove for loose balls, blocked each Duke defender with zeal and got nearly half of the Jayhawks' offensive rebounds. This is why having experienced players during tournament time is so crucial. John Nowak/Kansan The game was back and forth nearly the whole way, with each team regularly trading runs and the lead. But in the crunch, when nerves get frayed, defense tightens its noose, and each loose ball can determine the season, experience is invaluable. Just ask every Kansas fan who watched the game. J. J. Redick, arguably Duke's best player and definitely its best shooter, was hot early on, burying two jump shots while leading the Blue Devils to a 9-point first half lead. But when the game got close in the late moments, Redick all but disappeared. But it wasn't for the lack of open looks. The Kansas defense, with frightening regularity, left Redick all alone to rain down three-pointers and wash away any Kansas championship hopes. But as the game continued, Redick missed and missed often. He finished the game shooting 2-16 from the floor and 1-11 from behind the arc, while scoring only 5 points. Oh, and by the way, Redick is only a freshman. Unfortunately for him, it showed on the court. It didn't look good for the Jayhawks early on. Kansas got into a sizable hole early, as the offense was crippled by foul trouble. Jeff Graves, a valuable inside presence for the 'Hawks and thought to be a big key to a Kansas victory, showed his inexperience as well. He committed silly and frustrating fouls and spent crucial minutes cheering from the bench. Kirk Hinrich, apparently playing with a hurt wrist after a collision under the basket, was nearly pulled out of the offense as shot after shot refused to fall. Aaron Miles, although contributing with a three-pointer at the end of the first half, was taken out of his game offensively and clearly lacked the confidence to take the open shot. But Collison was not ready to make excuses. He saw the huge offensive challenge that was laid before him and tacked it with the calm resolve of a man twice his age. Staring at what could have been the last 10 minutes of his college career, Collison took this beleaguered and razor-thin Jayhawk team on his shoulders. He made every big shot, grabbed every loose rebound and gingerly shuffled around fallen Duke players to deliver his best performance to date. As Kansas fans inched closer to an early grave with each new foul, things got even worse for the Jayhawks. This is the type of game that defines a player, cements him into greatness and makes his teammates believe. This is the type of game that energizes a community and gives newfound respect to a storied basketball program. This is the type of game that makes March the best month of the year. Regardless of what Kansas does from here on out in the tournament, Collison will always have this game, this performance. But maybe, just maybe, the best is yet to come.

Collison netted 33 points and 18 rebounds in yesterday's Jayhawks' 69-65 victory. No more demons Kansas dances past Duke into Elite Eight By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter ANAHEIM, Calif. — Every good story needs a hero, and Nick Collison fit the role perfectly. The senior forward met every challenge, fought every battle and simply would not let his team lose in Kansas' 69-65 victory last night against Duke. The Jayhawks needed him to score. Collison made 14-of-22 shots for 33 points. They needed him to rebound. He wrapped up seemingly every errant shot that came his way, gathering a game-high 19 boards. They needed his defense. He blocked three shots and manned an interior that allowed just 7 second-chance points. Need something else? He tossed four assists and had a steal to boot. And it wasn't just the numbers. Collison made plays seemingly on demand. During one crucial stretch, he scored 12 consecutive points, and if that wasn't enough, he even took a charge. When his rampage finally ended, Kansas owned a 67-61 advantage and control of the game. Collison's teammates weren't surprised. "He's outstanding," said Kansas junior forward Jeff Graves after the game. "That's why he's Nick Collison. He's an All-American." What's even more impressive is that Collison led his team to victory in a night when his senior teammate, guard Kirk Hinrich, was never an offensive factor. Hinrich made just 1-of-9 shots and finished the day with 2 points. "I had trouble getting the ball in my hands," Hinrich told reporters. "When I did get it, I struggled, as well." Hinrich told reporters that a hurt right hand was not to blame for his shooting woes. "It's not an issue," he said. "I just stuck my hand out. It's banged up. It' s not an issue." Hinrich's reluctance to acknowledge the effect of an injury should come as no surprise. His teammates nicknamed him Superman for his toughness and ability to do the seemingly impossible. If those are the qualifications for the man-of-steel nickname, Williams said Collison should share the title. "The kids have called Kirk 'Superman" before," Williams said. "He was Superman II."

With 24 seconds to play and Kansas riding a 68-61 lead, Duke senior forward Dahntay Jones scored, cutting the lead to 5. The Blue Devils then stole the inbound pass, senior forward Casey Sanders hit another basket, and junior guard Chris Duhon promptly fouled Kansas' Aaron Miles. The sophomore guard made 1-of-2 free throws and Duke trailed by 4 with the ball and 16 seconds to take another shot at Kansas. Once again, it was Collison who came to the rescue. He grabbed a final rebound with two seconds to play, ending Duke's rally. "I'll be proud of this for a long time." Collison said after the game. The victory moves Kansas into the Elite Eight, where it will face top-seeded Arizona at 6:05 p.m. tomorrow. — Edited by Christy Dendurent T-shirt sales increase as Big Dance marches on By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan staff writer As Kansas advances further in the NCAA tournament and the hype around the team grows, so will the number of T-shirts sold. The Kansas Sweet Sixteen T-shirts have not sold as well as the Big 12 Conference championship shirts printed weeks earlier, said Steve Rhodes, operations manager of the KU Bookstores. Rhodes said the conference championship shirts sold roughly three times as well as the Sweet Sixteen shirts. He said if last year was any indication, Final Four shirts will be snatched up quickly if the basketball team makes it that far. "We sold a mountain of them," Rhodes said. "I think most people are waiting to see how far Kansas advances before they start to buy the shirts." If Kansas goes to the Final Four, most fans would not want to waste money on Sweet Sixteen shirts. KU Bookstores already have this season's Final Four shirts ordered on an if-win basis. If Kansas wins the game, the shirts will be shipped to the bookstores. Paul Vander Tuig, Kansas trademark and licensing director, said Gear For Sports was making the official T-shirt for the Final Four, and New Era Cap was responsible for producing the hats the athletes wear while celebrating their trip to New Orleans. Ever notice how quickly the shirts and hats make their way to players? That's because the companies print up shirts for both teams and hand out the shirts to the winners, Vander Tuig said. But what happens if Kansas loses that Elite Eight game? A rumor that the erroneous shirts is shipped off to Third World countries is probably not true, said Brian Hoffman, owner of The Sports Dome, 942 Massachusetts St. "Especially in these days, they would run the risk that the wrong championship shirts would somehow show up on eBay." Hoffman said. "The NCAA would not allow that to happen." Vander Tuig said the losing teams' shirts and hats were destroyed — most likely by incinerator.

Kansas' 14 hits overpowered Baker's five in last night's game at Hoglund Ballpark. By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter In one of the most important series it will face all year, the Kansas baseball team (21-9) will host the Oklahoma State Cowboys (15-8) this weekend and Monday for three games at Hoglund Ballpark. Courtney Kuhlen/Kansan The Cowboys enter the weekend coming off a series victory against defending national champion Texas. Oklahoma won two out of three games at home last weekend. Oklahoma State is led by sophomore catcher Jason Jaramillo and junior pitcher Scott Baker. Jaramillo was last week's Big 12 Conference player of the week after he smashed four home runs against Texas. Baker, a preseason All-American, is 4-3 thus far this season and has an earned run average of 2.86. Kansas, which dropped its first three conference games to rival Missouri, is looking for a solid weekend in front of a home crowd. "This is a huge series for us, there is no doubt about that," coach Ritch Price said. "Oklahoma State is coming off a big weekend and they are a very formidable opponent. Without question, though, it is a big advantage for us when we play at home, because the fans have been great, so hopefully we can continue our strong play at home this weekend." So far this season, Kansas has yet to drop a game at Hoglund Ballpark. The Hawks are 9-0 on their home field. The Jayhawks will send their No. 1 pitcher to the mound tomorrow afternoon for the first game of the series. Senior Kevin Wheeler is 4-0 on the season with an earned run average of 3.94. Wheeler also serves as the team's designated hitter. He is batting .375. Junior Ryan Baty, who came into the Kansas program with Wheeler, says his tenacious play and leadership is very important to the team's success this season. "What he has done for us this year is special," Baty said. "He is the guy we go to when we need a win, and he is large reason we are doing so well this season. He is a guy though, that leads by what he does not by what he says. He is a quiet guy, who knows how to compete." pitcher out of the bullpen and has an earned run average of 2.01. The Jayhawks are unsure whether they will be with key reliever, junior Brandon Johnson, this weekend. Johnson, who is currently suffering from an elbow injury, is the team's number one "We are a completely different team with Brandon Johnson healthy," Price said. "Not knowing whether or not he will be able to go, is a big difference for this club. If he does not pitch, it will enable someone else to emerge for us." On Tuesday, when Johnson was unavailable to pitch, the team pitched six pitchers. Price said the team might have to go back to that, if Johnson weas unavailable. The pitchers PriceREFereed to are senior Pat Holmes, sophomore Kenny Falconer and freshman Don Czyz. Other pitchers that Price said would have to continue giving solid contributions were junior Chris Smart and freshman Eric Peterson. The series has been moved back one day because of threatening weather and the series will start tomorrow instead of today as originally planned. First pitch for tomorrow's game is scheduled for 2 p.m. -Edited by Amber Byarlay "Collison we recruited, and I love that kid. I think he's the best player in the country."

With the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments and the war almost occurring simultaneously, decisions about how to televise both events became crucial to stations like CBS. The conflict is that CBS traditionally covers the men's tournament, but the station is responsible for news as well. Thankfully, CBS, besides switching some early games to ESPN, decided to keep its hold of the coveted tournament that produces extremely high ratings for the station. Possible solutions included delaying the tournament or switching basketball coverage from CBS to ESPN or even MTV. The modern media provides 24 hour coverage on stations like CNN, FOX, MSNBC and other outlets. CBS also provides updates during the games, which informs and keeps tabs on any important new events occurring in Iraq. The war is the most crucial and important issue in America. However, the role of sports is important in giving Americans a diversion to escape the daily thoughts of war. John Allen, chief operating officer of the Cincinnati Reds, has an interesting viewpoint to the debate. Allen was quoted in a March 23 article by Patrick Crowley in The Cincinnati Enquirer. "Sports does not overshadow the drama or importance of anything going on in Iraq," Allen said. "Fans take refuge from war in sports." Sports is a large part of the American culture. After the Sept. 11 attacks, people joined together at stadiums across the country and watched police officers and firefighters display the American flag. Historically, during times of war, sports have been urged to continue. Obviously, the war with Iraq and World War II are completely different, but President Franklin D. Roosevelt provided an example of the importance of sports. He wanted football and baseball to continue so that the nation would have a distraction from World War II. In 1991, George H. Bush pushed for the Super Bowl to continue as an act of defiance to Saddam Hussein. The war with Iraq is no different today sports must continue and Americans should watch and enjoy the events including the men's and women's NCAA tournaments.

Sweet16teamsfeelconfident By Maxx Wolfson Arizona Daily Wildcat via U-wire University of Arizona The third-year Notre Dame coach is taking his Fighting Irish team into unfamiliar territory, making its first appearance in the Sweet 16 since 1987. TUCSON, Ariz. — Mike Brey must feel a little out of place. Meeting him there are three coaches moving him there are three coaches — Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Kansas' Roy Williams and Arizona's Lute Olson — whose seasons are considered disappointments if they don't make it past the first weekend of tournament play. But does the 44-year-old feel out of place against the coaching legends' teams? Absolutely not Absolutely not. "I think that we do belong," said Brey, who reached a gaudy six Final Fours in eight years, while winning two titles, as a Duke assistant under Krzyzewski. "We are thought of in that mix now with these three years and the step that we took in Indianapolis." Even after all the talk came out about how tough the West bracket was, Brey wasn't concerned. He actually was hoping it would turn out like it did, considering the physical nature of the "When the bracket came out, everybody went off about the West bracket; 'Oh, my God, it's loaded,' or whatever," Brey said. "Before we even played a game, I looked at it and said, 'I do like the builds on the teams. It was a lot of basketball players. There was not the Pittsburgh/Kentucky bulk in our bracket.'" teams Notre Dame would ultimately be up against. "I don't see many soft touches anywhere," Olson said. "It's obvious to begin with that there were a lot of big name schools in the West, but then you look at the other regions and you're seeing outstanding teams at each of those sites as well." Olson, on the other hand, has said from the start that the West's bracket was the toughest, but his stance shifted slightly Monday when he looked around at the other regions and said there weren't any cakewalks. But Olson was still surprised at who the two teams are that are scheduled to play after the Wildcats and Irish face off on Thursday. "To have Roy and 'Coach K' meeting in a Sweet Sixteen game, that's one that you could look at as a national championship game in any other year," Olson said. Arizona senior Rick Anderson agreed "That would be a good Final Four right there," he said about the four teams playing in Anaheim, Calif. "But it's going to be a big challenge for us." Brey's Notre Dame team seems to be ready for the challenge ahead, or at least prepared for it. The Irish have five wins over top-10 opponents (Texas, Maryland, Marquette, Pittsburgh and Illinois). "Playing those teams helped us," Notre Dame senior Matt Carroll said. "We had a very tough schedule, and we realized we can beat any team in the country any given day.And I think that's why we are playing with so much confidence now." Notre Dame is not the only team with confidence. The 15 other teams still left standing after a wild opening weekend have all won at least two games in a row, and all believe they have a chance to push that streak toward the magic number of six. So if Arizona's streak gets pushed to three, which team does Arizona senior and floor-leader Jason Gardner want to see? He said he didn't care, but did say, "I'm sure a lot of people in Tucson want to see Duke." 'Cinderella' Butler faces Oklahoma Only time will tell. The Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. — Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson has seen enough to know Butler is no underdog. Although the Bulldogs are the lowest-seeded team remaining in the NCAA tournament — No. 12 in the East — and are in the round of 16 for the first time in 41 years, Sampson only had to glance at the brackets Thursday to make his point. "I can see where Cinderella would beat Mississippi State, but Cinderella doesn't come back 24 hours later and beat Louisville," Sampson said, pointing to Butler's victories over fifth- and fourth-seeded teams in the first two rounds. "They beat Mississippi State in Birmingham, and that's in the SEC's back yard. And they beat Louisville in Birmingham, which is a next-door neighbor. Cinderella doesn't do those things." The Bulldogs, a bunch of kids from an Indianapolis school with an enrollment of 4.200, know that, too. "I like that we're here," Butler coach Todd Lickliter said. "If people want to label us, that's fine. You won't get very far unless you think you can. I would never want the players to sell themselves short." Nobody does that anymore. Butler has become one of the nation's model midmajor programs, winning at least 20 games in each of the last seven seasons. Its 27 victories this season, against just five losses, broke last year's school record of 25. came from 15 points behind to beat Louisville 79-71, making 14 of 22 3-pointers. And in the first round, they defeated Mississippi State 47-46 on Brandon Miller's runner in the lane with 6.2 seconds left. Snubbed last year by the tournament selection committee, the Bulldogs have more than left their mark this year. They Top-seeded Oklahoma (26-6) is two steps from its second straight Final Four appearance. The winner meets either Syracuse or Auburn on Sunday at Pepsi Arena for a berth in New Orleans. If the Sooners have a worry for this game, it's Price, who is recovering from a tear in his left groin he sustained in the Big 12 Conference championship game. They made it through the first two rounds without much production from him. Price had a wide smile yesterday and said he was 99.9 percent healthy. That's what Butler was expecting.

It's too bad Nick Collison wasn't the third-best player in the Big 12, because maybe then he could have been National Player of the Year. Coaching caliber challenges Texas Longhorns By Patrick Daniel Daily Texan via U-wire University of Texas AUSTIN, Texas — In Texas' opening-round game against the University of North Carolina-Asheville a sign in the stands read, "There's a first time for everything." Of course, Bulldog fans were referring to the fact that a No. 16 seed had never beaten a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, but the same sentiment can be applied to Texas coach Rick Barnes who has yet to add a national championship title to his resume. But this could be the year that Barnes breaks through to win his first national title. With T.J. Ford dazzling at the point, James Thomas crashing the boards and the team's all-around depth, Texas has a legitimate shot at winning its first "I hope I'm going to have a lot of chances," Barnes said when asked if this was his chance to win it all. "I'm not that old. I might look it, but, right now, I'm not that old. This time of year does make you feel a little bit older." "I've said this all along. I will never ever take for granted getting to the NCAA tournament. Once you're in it, then you are really and truly one of 65 teams that can lay claim that you got a chance to play for the big trophy. I hope every year that we have a chance." Of course, the Longhorns will have to win two games against teams that boast coaches who have each won a national championship. The other three teams that will play in tomorrow's South region semi-final games have garnered at least one championship with their coaches. "I have a great respect for all of them," Barnes said of the three other coaches remaining in the South region. Connecticut, Texas' first opponent in San Antonio, is coached by Jim Calhoun, who cut down the nets in 1999's national title game. The Huskies defeated the Duke Blue Devils, 77-74, in St. Petersburg, Fla., in that year's title game. "Jim Calhoun's been around a long time," Barnes said. "I remember when Jim was at Northeastern. People knew then that he could coach. He knew what he had to do and what he needed to do, and he did it." This season, Calhoun's squad finished with a 23-9 record and finished first in the Big East's East Conference, and the team lost two of those nine games when Calhoun missed five games because of prostate cancer surgery. "Well-coached," James Thomas said when asked to comment on this year's Huskie squad. "They are a good team. They went through a lot of adversity with their coach, and they were able to maintain." If the Longhorns survive Connecticut, they will go on to face either Michigan State or Maryland, both of whom square off in Friday's late game. Spartan coach Tom Izzo led his team to the championship in 2000, while Gary Williams led the Terrapins to a title last year against the Indiana Hoosiers in Atlanta. Before Williams and the Terrapins brought the trophy back to College Park, Md., there was a lot of talk about how Williams would need a title win before becoming a great coach.

If Kansas goes to the Final Four, The Sports Dome will have the shirts in stock roughly one to two hours after the game results are made official. He would then have opened the store following a victory to sell the sure-to-be-hot merchandise. Hoffman said that if the team had won the championship last season, he would have gotten the shirts delivered before the championship game was over. If Kansas had made it to last season's championship game and lost, the shirts would have been shipped back to the distributor, who would then recycle the shirts by reprinting over Vander Tuig said that the other shirts were not printed until the results were in. the old ink. The shirts would have then likely be sold at a sidewalk store for reduced prices, Hoffman said. Last season, in the business quarter after Kansas went to the Final Four, royalties for the Kansas trademark went up $170,000, Vander Tuigsaid. The designs and graphics are made and approved before the games, but the actual shirts are printed afterward, Vander Tuig said. If Kansas wins the championship, expect the Jayhawks to be decked out with Nike products. And expect the other team's shirts and hats to be on the way to the incinerator. "The shirt companies could not afford to print all those shirts beforehand," Vander Tuig said. "Only the items that appear on the court are printed." Edited by Todd Rapp Royals prepare for game against White Sox KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Most major league teams select their opening day starter based on arms.The Kansas City Royals made their call because of heads—and tails- It would be one thing to hit an impasse over making Pedro Martinez or Randy Johnson the ace. Collectively, the five-man rotation of Hernandez, Affeldt, Darrell May, Miguel Asencio and Chris George has 21 major league victories and 35 losses. Runelvys Hernandez, having won this spring's toss will start the opener at home against the Chicago White Sox and Jeremy Affeldt will pitch the second game. The Royals have two proven everyday players-first baseman Mike Sweeney and center fielder Carlos Beltran—and a couple of decent major leaguers in third baseman Joe Randa and left fielder Raul Ibanez. But switch-hitting Beltran probably shouldn't be counted. He's a good bet to be traded. The Associated Press The mission is clear for the Kansas softball team's weekend trip to Iowa State: win a Big 12 Conference game --- maybe even two. sweeping Oklahoma City on Tuesday, 9-3 and 6-1 while smacking six home runs on the day. Adding to the hopes of lifting the conference win monkey off the team's back is that the Cyclones have been down right bad. The No. 24 Jayhawks have accumulated a record of 20-8 but not one of those 20 victories has come against a conference opponent. The squad currently is 0-4 in Big 12 play. Kansas should travel to Ames, Iowa, in pretty good spirits, after 'Hawks aim for first conference victory Iowa State (12-17) had been riding an eight-game losing streak in which it was outscored 45-17, held scoreless in six of those eight games. The team managed to finally get in the victory by beating Western Illinois 5-4 on Tuesday and following that with another victory by taking down Drake 5-0 yesterday. Like Kansas, Iowa State has yet to win a Big 12 game. The Cyclones are 0-2 in conference play after losing at then.No. 7 Texas last weekend, 7-0 and 2-0. The 'Clones are lead defensively by junior Julia Lindsey, who had 31 hits and .352 batting average going into yesterday's game against Drake. As a team Iowa State has struggled at the plate, batting only .215 overall. Senior pitcher Erica Martinez anchors the Cyclones with her 2.17 ERA and 115 strikeouts on the year. After battling Iowa State, the Hawks will be in action next at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Wichita for a doubleheader against the Wichita State Shockers. Steve Schmidt Tennis team preparing for Texas meets By Jonah Ballow jballow@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter With two Big 12 Conference matches tomorrow and Saturday, the No.68 Kansas tennis team will look to bounce back after dropping the last three conference matches. The Jayhawks travel to Lubbock, Texas, to take on the No. 66 Texas Tech Lady Raiders tomorrow. Texas Tech is 2-7 overall and 2-4 in the Big 12 with a recent defeat to the Texas Longhorns on Monday. "We hopefully will go to Texas and be fresh. We are staying positive," junior Kristen Steinbock said Kansas will try to increase its 7-3 advantage over Texas Tech, including seven straight victories. including Saturday, the Jayhawks will head to Waco, Texas, for a match-up with the No. 44-ranked Baylor Bears. the Big 12 and fresh off an upset against the No. 28 Texas A&M Aggies on Wednesday. The Bears are 7-9 overall,5-1 in Aggers on Kansas will try to duplicate a 5-2 victory it had last season against Baylor in Lawrence. Baylor has a slim 5-4 all-time series lead over the Jayhawks. For Kansas, junior Emily Haylock is on a hot streak—she's won six of her last seven singles matches and has seven straight doubles victories. The Jayhawks are 6-7 overall and 2-4 in conference play while in ninth place in the Big 12. The team has mustered only one point in two matches and has struggled on the road with a 2-4 record "We are ready to go." Steinbock said. "After a week-long break, practices have been up beat and everybody is ready to get back on the court." Edited by Amber Byarlay Jayhawks travel to Iowa for doubleheader By Shane Mettlen smettlen@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter The Kansas soccer team will try to get back on track when it travels to Iowa City, Iowa, for a double-header tomorrow. The Jayhawks will take on Iowa in the opener at 9 a.m. followed by a game with Wisconsin-Milwaukee at noon. The contests will allow Kansas, which is 0-2-1 during the spring Kansas coach Mark Francis said that he did not know much about either of tomorrow's opponents, but that the 4-1 loss to the KC Legends Boys under-16 team should provide an advantage for the Jayhawks as they return to action. season, an opportunity to notch its first victory and return to action against other universities after losing to a boys' all-star team on March 12. "The game against the boys was a lot faster," Francis said. "Hopefully that will help us when we play women again." The speed of the game should return to normal for Kansas, but Iowa and Wisconsin-Milwaukee should provide a formidable challenge for the Jayhawkes. "Wisconsin-Milwaukee made the NCAA tournament last year and Iowa is a Big 10 school," Francis said. "I think they should both be good for us to play." Kansas freshman Caroline Smith, who leads the Jayhawks with two goals this season, will be challenged by Iowa freshman Katelyn Quinn, who was named honorable mention freshman All-American during the fall season and is the Hawkeyes' leading goal scorer. keyes. The double-header will provide the Jayhawks with their final test before hosting the KU Spring Tournament April 6 at SuperTarget Field. Kansas will face Creighton at 11 a.m. and Oral Roberts at 3 p.m. Edited by Todd Rapp ayhau's 8 Junior Matt Tribble Wheaton, Ill. 2003 KANSAS JAYHAWK BASEBALL Junior Matt Tribble Wheaton, Ill.

This time it must repair its reputation as well. Jim Harrick ended his coaching career yesterday, resigning from Georgia before he was forced out. He left behind a program marred by allegations of illegal payments and academic fraud. "A lot of people have been hurt by this." Athletic Director Vince Dooley said. "A lot of fans have been hurt, but especially the players. In so many ways my heart goes out to them." University officials said that under a resignation agreement, Harrick would receive his remaining base pay, broadcast payments and a Nike payment, which total $254,166. Harrick was suspended with pay March 10 pending a joint investigation by the university, the NCAA and the Southeastern Conference. In his fourth season, Harrick coached the Bulldogs (19-8) to a No.25 ranking, boosting attendance, energizing student support and promising a long run in the NCAA tournament. the season unraveled quickly after ESPN aired an interview with former player Tony Cole. Cole, kicked off the team last year, accused assistant coach Jim Harrick Jr. of teaching a bogus class on basketball coaching. Cole said he never attended the class but received an A. Two other players — starters Chris Daniels and Rashad Wright — also got top grades without going to class. They were declared ineligible March 10 for academic fraud and unethical conduct. Harrick Jr. was suspended and ultimately dismissed.Earlier this week, Dooley said he planned to make a decision on the elder Harrick's future before the start of the NCAA Men's Final Four on April 5 in New Orleans. The Final Four is a common place for job interviews because nearly all college basketball coaches attend the National Basketball Coaches Association convention, held concurrently. Harrick was due another $2.1 million on his contract that he will not receive. In exchange, a retirement agreement was signed by Dooley and Harrick in which the university promises to keep confidential any information about NCAA violations or wrongdoing and not to "disparage Mr. Harrick." Dooley said the term "negotiated settlement" was not the proper label for the agreement, but he could not explain why Harrick resigned. "I don't know all his reasons," Dooley said. "But there are no findings that I know of that directly associate him with any violations." Dooley said the settlement arrangement should not be interpreted as an indication that there was "a smoking gun" uncovered in the ongoing investigation. "It simply says that we paid him what we were obligated to up to the time he resigned," Dooley said. Harrick arrived at Georgia in the spring of 1999 with baggage. He coached UCLA to the 1995 national championship but was fired a year later for lying on an expense account. He coached two years at Rhode Island before succeeding Ron Jirsa at Georgia. Harrick was a surprise hire, coming in largely on university president Michael Adams' recommendation. The two had been friends while they were both at Pepperdine. Adams said he and Dooley had placed a lot of confidence in Harrick, "a man of considerable coaching talent." "We were greatly disappointed to lose that confidence due to coach Harrick's failure to appropriately manage the basketball program," Adams said. "Based upon the facts discovered in the investigation to date, his resignation is appropriate and we accept it." Since the troubles at Georgia broke out, allegations have surfaced at Rhode Island. A former secretary at Rhode Island said Harrick had grades changed for players, had student managers write papers for players and arranged for players to receive lodging, cars and money from boosters. In addition, Harrick Jr. was accused of falsifying hotel and meal reports for recruits when he worked for his father at Rhode Island. 'Hungry' hitters boost Royals' spring stats The Associated Press SURPRISE, Ariz. — It's spring training — so the conventional baseball wisdom says all the statistics recorded so far are meaningless. But it's tough to ignore the work of Jeff Pentland, Kansas City's hitting instructor. The Royals have a spring training best .321 batting average, .387 onbase percentage and 200 runs. "Obviously, it means something," Pentland said. "I don't even look at statistics in spring training. What I'm looking for is the approach we're taking: how we do our work, the upbeat attitude of the players just doing what they need to do. "The main thing is we're prepared to go into ball games, keeping it simple. I think what's important about this ball club is there's some experience, but not a great deal of experience. What we have on this ball club is a lot of hungry people, willing to listen." The Royals hired Pentland last October to replace Lamar Johnson. Pentland, who had been the hitting coach for the Chicago Cubs since 1997, seems to have had an immediate impact in his first spring training with the Royals. Eleven players have hit at least .300 in spring training. During last year's regular season, the Royals hit .256 — the teams lowest average since 1992. Several of the Royals are having the best springs of their careers. Mike Sweeney is leading the Cactus League with a.484 average and a.562 on-base percentage, and is second behind teammate Michael Tucker with an .887 slugging percentage. Tucker has a 900 slugging percentage. Sweeney also leads the Cactus League with 21 RBIs, two more than teammate Dee Brown. "Sweeney's fun to watch," Pentland said. "He's obviously in a class by himself." Pentland compares Sweeney to a couple of other sluggers he worked with - Sammy Sosa with the Cubs and Barry Bonds at Arizona State. Tucker, who hit 420 with six home runs in spring training, has secured a starting spot in the outfield and will bat leadoff. Though Joe Randa batted fifth most of last season, manager Tony Pena moved him to second this spring and he responded by hitting.389. "I told Tony that may be the smartest thing he's done in spring training." Pentland said. "Joe's an on-base type of guy. He can hit behind guys and also drive in runs." Brown made the team as a reserve outfielder after a strong spring. He hit .362 with five home runs in 21 games. "Dee has been the biggest surprise in camp without question, not because he doesn't have talent," Pentland said. "He's taken it on himself to prove to the coaching staff and management that he belongs in the majors. He's hitting off-speed pitches as well as fastballs." Pentland is also expecting better things from second baseman Carlos Febles, who has hit .396 in spring training after batting only .245 last season and .236 in 2001. Tiger struggles; Haas early leader The Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Believe it or not, there's more than one player in The Players Championship. Tiger Woods and his dominant game took a detour yesterday by spraying the ball around the TPC at Sawgrass. That cleared the way for 49-year-old Jay Haas and an older generation to take the early lead in golf's first big event of the year. One year away from the Champions Tour, Haas pieced together a 4-under 68 in swirling winds and under the threat of rain to share the clubhouse lead with Rocco Mediate, Bob Tway and Skip Kendall. All of the leaders are in their 40s, except for Kendall—he's a spry 38. Woods, coming off an 11-stroke victory at Bay Hill for his third victory in four tournaments this year, spent most of his morning playing from ankle-deep grass and rallied over the final few holes for an even-par 72. "Just trying to get to even par would have been a heck of an accomplishment considering the way I was hitting it today," Woods said. "I'm very happy to end up where I was." Overnight showers drenched the TPC at Sawgrass, and a batch of afternoon thunderstorms finally suspended the first round with 68 players still on the course. They will return at 7:30 a.m. today. Kevin Sutherland was at 4 under par through 16 holes. Others who didn't finish include Fred Couples, a two-time winner at The Players Championship. He was the only player to get to 5 under par, but back-to-back bogeys dropped him to 3 under with four holes to play. Stewart Cink, who played in the final group with Woods last week at Bay Hill, had a 69, while John Daly was in the group at 70. All eyes were on Woods coming into The Players Championship, not just because of his victories, but how easily he was winning. From his opening tee shot that sailed toward the trees, it was clear Woods was not going to breeze through the round. After going 47 straight holes without a bogey, Woods made two in a row. He was never under par at any point in his round. The rain made Sawgrass play a little easier, but not much. Even in the early hours of the tournament, the grass on the greens was starting to turn brown and the scores stayed relatively high. Only 21 of the 76 players who finished the first round broke par. "I've seen it a lot harder, but it wasn't a pushover by any means." Haas said. Haas has never finished higher than eighth in The Players Championship, although he seems to be defying the odds wherever he goes. He nearly won at the Bob Hope Classic, and reached the quarterfinals of the Match Play Championship. That has put him on the cusp of earning an invitation to the Masters, but he probably needs a top-five finish this week. "It was one of my goals at the start of the year to be playing again in the Masters," Haas said. "I don't think it would ruin my year if I don't." Michael Campbell of New Zealand wasn't about to let one round ruin his career. He hit an 8-iron to 6 feet on the 18th and holed the putt for his only birdie of the day and an 89. Campbell injured his left shoulder while toting his suitcase a few weeks ago, and he still hasn't recovered. "I was feeling comfortable on the range." Campbell said. "As soon as I hit a few bad shots, my confidence went to pieces." Arizona advances to West final; Wisconsin, Pittsburgh lose heartbreakers The Associated Press Arizona 88, Notre Dame 71 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Arizona took all the drama out of this one early. After beating Gonzaga by one point in a double-overtime classic, the top-seeded Wildcats rolled right over Notre Dame 88-71 last night to advance to the West Regional final. Arizona will face Kansas in the regional final. Luke Walton, last seen sprawled in exhaustion on the floor in Salt Lake City after grabbing the final rebound in the second round, had 16 points, seven boards and eight assists for Arizona. Fellow senior Jason Gardner added 19 points in his school record 134th career start. Channing Frye had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Hassan Adams added 14 points. The Wildcats (28-3) are in the round of eight for the first time since 2001, when they lost to Duke in the national championship game. Torin Francis had 25 points on 10-of-11 shooting — more than double his average — and 10 rebounds to lead the Irish (24-10). Chris Thomas added 20 points. Neither team led by more than five points before Arizona took command with a 22-3 run that gave the Wildcats a 47-29 lead with 5:56 remaining in the first half. There were eight lead changes and seven ties by halftime, which ended with Arizona ahead 53-40. Kentuckv 63. Wisconsin 57 MINNEAPOLIS — With Keith Bogans watching helplessly from the bench in the second half, Kentucky turned to the power of Marquis Estill to ward off Wisconsin. Estill scored a career-high 28 points and the Wildcats ran their winning streak to 26 games, holding off the scrappy Badgers to advance to the regional final, where they will meet Marquette. Bogans, the Wildcats' top scorer and floor leader, sprained his left ankle with 3:32 left in the first half when Wisconsin's Kirk Penney committed a turnover, turned around to run back down the floor and fell over the Kentucky star. Mike Wilkinson had a layup and Devin Harris made two spectacular driving baskets to pull the Badgers within 52-50 with just under seven minutes to go. The Wildcats went inside to the 6-foot-9, 240-pound Estill, who made 12-of-18 shots. He muscel in for another basket and then hit two free throws as the Wildcats regained a six-point lead. Wisconsin rallied to within one when Harris hit a 3-pointer and Wilkinson drove for a basket with 1:33 remaining. But Erik Daniels tipped in a After Wilkinson missed twice from the line with 23 seconds remaining, Kentucky hit four free throws in the closing seconds. Marquette 77, Pittsburgh 74 miss by Estill with 1:03 left to give Kentucky a 58-55 lead, And after a traveling call on Wilkinson with 49 seconds remaining, Estill made one of two foul shots with 32 seconds left, pushing the lead back to four. MINNEAPOLIS — Not since the days of Al McGuire has Marquette made it this far. Dwyane Wade scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half to lead the third-seeded Golden Eagles to a victory over No.2 seed Pittsburgh. Marquette (26-5) will play top-seeded Kentucky tomorrow, with the winner advancing to the Final Four in New Orleans. Brandin Knight led Pittsburgh (28-5) with 16 points. His 3-point attempt with about four seconds to go could have tied it, but he came up short The lovable McGuire retired after coaching Marquette to the 1977 national title, and the Golden Eagles hadn't been to a regional final since.

Saturday's 78-75 victory over Arizona marked the second consecutive Final Four appearance. John Nowak/Kansan By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansas senior sportswriter ANAHEIM, Calif. — Dust off your Mardi Gras beads, the Jayhawks are headed to New Orleans. No. 2 Kansas upset top-seeded Arizona, 78-75, to earn its second consecutive trip to the N For more coverage of the 'Hawks' trip to the Final Four, see page 1B. e trip to the NCAA Final Four. "It's the stuff that you dream about but never really expect to happen," Kansas sophomore guard Michael Lee told reporters. "When it happens, it's almost unreal." Unreal might be a good way to describe the game. Each team threw haymaker-scoring drives, but neither of the West Regional's heavyweights would bow out before the final bell. To Kansas fans, the scene was all too familiar — a commanding Kansas lead would dwindle to a sliver, flashes of brilliance were followed by futile attempts to deliver the knockout punch. Kansas staggered Arizona with a 10-5 run to start the game, and a subsequent 12-5 run pushed the lead to 16 points with 9:16 left to play in the half. But just as the Jayhawks seemed to settle in, they went ice cold. They missed open shots, muffed rebounds and threw passes to the crowd. It conjured memories of a game Kansas would rather forget — a 91-74 loss to Arizona in Lawrence. The Jayhawks blew a 20-point first half lead and eventually lost the game by 17. Kansas had lost the poise that allowed it to hold off Duke two days earlier, 69-65. Even Jayhawk coach Roy Williams lost his cool, throwing his jacket behind the bench after a late whistle on a traveling call. But in the second half, Williams regained his coat and Kansas regained control. After limping to a 38-55 halftime lead, the Jayhawks exploded out of the intermission with a 15-5 run for 53-40 advantage. Although wounded, the Wildcats wouldn't wither. Arizona senior guard Jason Gardner scored 10 points and freshman guard Hassan Adams added 5 in a four minute stretch to put Arizona ahead 58-56 at the 10:32 mark. That's when the real fight began. The teams traded baskets throughout the rest of the game. Neither squad took more than a 4-point lead, and Arizona trailed by just 3 with 7.1 seconds to play. After two Wildeat timeouts, Gardner readied for what would have been his fourth three-pointer of the game and a tie, but it was not to be for Arizona. Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich blocked the ball to Arizona senior forward Luke Walton, who shoved it to Gardner for one more attempt. Gardner had a clear look, but the ball bounced harmlessly off the rim into the hands of Kansas junior forward Jeff Graves. Graves, who scored 13 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, hurled the ball into the rafters, and the celebration began "I watched everybody else do that growing up," Graves said. "I just wanted to see what it felt like." Apparently, it felt like a reason to dance. Graves and the rest of the team broke into a hopping, foot-shuffling frenzy that drew everyone from Williams to team managers into the hoopla. "To be able to stand there and watch those kids cut down the net and act silly with them is the greatest reward in coaching," Williams said.

Jackson cjackson@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Sporting a Kansas hat and sweatshirt, a hoarse voice and a big smile, Robert Dotson squeezed his bicycle horn and yelled at the top of his lungs, proudly celebrating Kansas' victory over Arizona. Standing by himself on the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets. Dotson's contributions to the noise level Saturday night were minimal, but he wanted to be out with the masses. "I don't have a car," the Lawrence resident said. "But I had this horn on here and I thought, 'Let's celebrate.'" It seemed like celebration was on the mind of everyone — old and young, male and female, human and canine — Saturday night. ] camline - Saturday, August 17 Lori Wardlow, a 1997 University of Kansas graduate, went onto Wescoe Beach, along with her dog, Moses, to see the celebrations. "I wasn't expecting the game to be the way it was," she said, explaining why she came onto campus. Moses, for his part, stood next to Wardlow, shaking. Fireworks set off by students celebrating Kansas' pending trip to New Orleans frightened him.

City commission hopefuls decry rumors By JJ Hensley Kansan staff writer jhsenley@kansan.com Progressive Lawrence Campaign candidates for city commission say they are not threatening to close Oread Neighborhood bars early. But this contradicts claims made in a filer distributed to fraternity and sorority houses in the last few weeks. The source of the filer is unknown. The Oread Neighborhood bars are Bullwinkle's, 1344 Tennessee St., The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St. and the Wheel Cafe, 507 W. 14th St. "The following candidates are threatening to have all campus bar establishments close every night at 11 p.m. or midnight," the flier read, "The candidates who are involved in the coalition threatening to do this are: Mike Rundle, David Schauner and Dennis "Boog" Highberger." The Student Senate endorsed the three Progressive Lawrence candidates in a resolution earlier this year. "I've never said that, it's a complete lie," Highberger said. "No one associated with this campaign has ever said that either. It's a total fabrication." During the past few weeks DiVilbiss has been campaigning at fraternity and Members of PLC candidate Mike Rundle's campaign and representatives of the Student Legislative Awareness Board had pointed to opposition candidate Greg DiVilbiss as the source of this misinformation. sorority houses and leaving the impression that the future of the Oread neighborhood bars are in jeopardy if certain candidates are elected, Rundle's campaign manager, Greg Douros, said. "People were coming up to me saying that Greg DiVibiss was the candidate who could save the bars," Douros said. "It doesn't matter who started it though, the important thing is that people know it's false." SEE RUMORS ON PAGE 5A Enrollment begins with online setup near-perfect By Lauren Airey lairey@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Signs all over campus have reminded students to get online instead of in line to enroll for fall classes, and students obliged by using the new Web-based enrollment system for the first time Friday. "It was something of a surprise for us and frustration for people who are enrolling," Turvey said. "We expect some problems and a lot of learning to be taking place right by students and faculty and staff." The system only had one visible glitch, said Bob Turvey, online enrollment project manager for the Lawrence campus. Students were unable to see holds during the enrollment process that were available on the administrative side of the system. This caused error messages when students tried to submit their enrollment information for verification. The problem was fixed by noon, though. To prepare for the new enrollment process, University officials sent e-mails to students and faculty with instructions on how to use the new system, which can be accessed from the Kyou student portal at www.ku.edu/kyou. A help section of the Web site is also available for students with questions, and the enrollment center in Strong Hall has an area for walk-up assistance. The e-mail address for feedback has received about 130 messages since it was launched two weeks ago and only about six were major frustrations, Turvey said. "I've been checking with the help desk and they've not received any huge number of complaints or questions." Turvey said. "We know 15,000 students have been in the system to look at it and to receive that few a number of frustrations is actually pretty good." Faculty members received new system training in one of three training workshops. Faculty members have access to class rosters, grade rosters, the University Catalog and the schedule of classes. Grades will be recorded online for the first time this fall. Students can check for enrollment holds, such as unpaid library fines or health center fees, at the Enroll and Pay Web site under the personal portfolio section. These financial holds must still be paid in person or through the mail. Instructor permission, departmental permission and closed class openers are all grouped into one group. Students can request these permissions like they have in the past but will receive a number instead of a card. Students will be prompted to give the number if required during the enrollment process. Enrollment appointments will continue through April. The last day to enroll will be the fifth day of classes in the fall. Undergraduate students will not be able to access the enrollment system between June 1 and Aug.1 because new students will be enrolling. As in past years, students have an assigned enrollment time, with graduate students and upperclassmen first. The new system can accommodate up to 600 students enrolling in the same minute, which is the total number of new enrollment appointments scheduled each day. "I think online enrollment is a great idea because you don't need to wait in line forever," Chris Goode, Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore said. "You don't have to deal with the staff at Strong Hall and it'll be a lot more convenient even though there might be a lot of kinks to work out since it's the first year." - Edited by Ryan Wood V I h 富 2.

Jessica Palimenio Nuns argue 'free speech' after bloodying missile silo NATION DENVER — The nuns say they were exercising their right to free speech when they cut through a fence around a Minuteman III missile silo, used their own blood to paint a cross on the military structure and began swinging at it with hammers. Prosecutors say those actions interfered with the national defense — a crime, that if a jury finds the women guilty, could put them behind bars for 20 years. Dominican sisters Ardeth Platte, 66, Carol Gilbert, 55, and Jackie Hudson, 68, head to court today for a trial supporters say is ill-timed in the midst of war. "If it had been Iraq and these nuns had found these weapons everyone would have praised them as heroes. And that's exactly the right response," said Anabel Dwyer, a legal adviser to Platte. The nuns, jailed since their Oct. 6 protest near Greeley, maintain they were a "Citizens Weapons Inspections Team" that was symbolically disarming the United States They had argued their actions fell under principles established by the war crimes tribunal at Nuremberg after World War II. The United States endorsed the principle that people are obligated to disobey laws that lead to crimes against humanity. But U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn ruled the defense may not be used at the trial. The women will now argue they were exercising symbolic free speech, according to Walter Gerash, who represents Hudson. Each faces one count of willful injury, interference or obstruction of national defense, which carries up to 20 years in prison, and a count of causing more than $1,000 in damage, which carries a maximum 10-year term. Despite fears by supporters that the trials' timing would work against the nuns, Gerash said the sisters didn't want a delay. They are heartened by anti-war protests, he said. WORLD Iraq rewards family of 'martyr for killing four U.S. soldiers BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq gave $34,000 to the family of an Iraqi army officer who killed four U.S. soldiers in a suicide attack, and the leader of the militant group Islamic Jihad said yesterday its volunteers had gone to Baghdad for several bombing missions against the "American invasion." "Ali Jaafar al-Noamani, a noncommissioned officer with several children, was posthumously promoted to colonel and awarded two medals for the attack in Najaf that killed the unidentified Americans, Iraqi state television reported. His family reportedly was given a fortune by Iraqi standards: 100 million dinars, the equivalent of $34,000. In the Israeli coastal town of Netanya yesterday, an Islamic militant blew himself up in a crowded pedestrian mall, wounding 30 bystanders in what Islamic Jihad called "a gift to the heroic Iraqi people." Ramadan Shailah, Islamic Jihad's leader in Damascus, Syria, also said the group already had "martyrdom seekers" in Iraq. "This is fulfillment of the call of sacred duty ... an opportunity for Jihad and martyrdom is available now for the Islamic nation," he said. Shallah urged "the entire (Islamic) nation, including the Jihad and resistance in Palestine, if they were able to get there, to fight side by side with the Iraqi people against this butcher Bush."

HARRIS . - MONDAY,MARCH 31,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3A KUnited candidate thrives on sporty competition By Cate Batchelder cbatchelder@kansan.com Kansas staff writer Boasting a dunk over a KU basketball player is usually limited to opposing teams. The bragging right normally doesn't extend to the student body—even potential student body presidents. KU TATRAWKA But with a little talent and help in the height department, Andy Knopp, a 6'7" Manhattan junior, got those rights. His freshman year, he dunked the ball over then senior guard Nick Bradford at a fundraising game in Allen Fieldhouse. Knopp's Campus All-Starteam eventually lost by more than 20 points to former varsity players Bradford, Eric Chenowith, Kenny Gregory, Terry Nooner and Jerod Haase. "He's going to love that for the rest of his life," said Nancy Knopp, Andy's mom. Lindsey Gold/Kansan Scott Silverman, Overland Park junior, coached the Campus All-Stars. He remembers Knopp's dunk well, and also his thoughtfulness on the court. Knopp was one of the best players on the team but made sure everyone had equal playing time, he said. "He's just like that — and not just in basketball,"Silverman said. Knopp's history of sporting and gaming has helped him hone his leadership skills. And by making impressions along the way like Silverman's ago, he might garner a few votes in his race for student body president. At a marathon Senate meeting earlier this semester, Knopp, business senator, snuck out to play at the Greek league's championship intramural basketball game. Knopp helped his fraternity, Theta Chi, to win by 1 point. The next night, Knopp went on to win the championship Co-Rec, or Coed Recreational, basketball game and, by default, another championship T-shirt. Andy Knopp, KUUnited presidential candidate and Manhattan junior, links his competitive nature to his history with sports. Athletic credits include a dunk over a former KU basketball player and pingpong victories against his mother. "That's all I really play for," he said jokingly. "I get a lot of really cool T-shirts." Meet the Candidates Editor's note: To prepare students for Student Senate elections, The University Daily Kansas will profile each coalition's presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Knopp's campus involvement also has included writing for the editorial board at The University Daily Kansan during the fall of his sophomore year. He once wrote about pingpong, which may have been inspired by a rivalry in the game with his mother. While growing up, they played on the pingpong table in their basement. It wasn't until high school that he finally beat her, which he said was one of the biggest accomplishments of his life, a real milestone. "We looked at each other and said, 'Did that just happen?'' Knopp said. Nancy Knopp said she used to give her son a pretty good run for his money until he overtook her. There's still a little tension. "Just tell him, he thinks he can beat mom," she said jokingly. Nancy said her son had always loved to compete, especially when playing board games such as Monopoly and Risk. He would often frustrate her with his business savvy by cutting deals and making alliances. "It's a characteristic that serves him well," she said. "Nothing's black and white with Andy." — Edited by Lindsay Hanson Workshop stresses togetherness to greek leaders By Jessica Palmenio jpalimenio@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Members of the fraternity and sorority system joined together to increase their cultural awareness with Seek Alliance Through Leadership and Diversity this weekend. The Organizations and Leadership office organized an all-day leadership workshop Saturday at the Kansas Union to recognize the similarities and differences among the groups on campus and to create a better understanding of them. "Most people work under the perception of a greek system, but we want them to think more as a greek community," said Bryant Smith, retreat facilitator. The two facilitators were from CAMPUSPEAK, an agency that provides educational speakers for college campuses and groups. Participants were required to apply for the retreat and were selected to ensure diversity in the group, said Angie Carr, coordinator of fraternity and sorority life. Approximately 70 members and leaders of Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Associia tion and the National Pan-Hellenic Council participated in the retreat. Courtney Bates, Chicago senior and president of Alpha Kappa Alpha, said she thought it was important to make a connection among the three councils, but it would take a while to do. "For the future of all of our organizations we need to work together," she said. Some members participated in the program in order to improve their own chapters as well as the community as a whole. "I wanted to try and gain some insight out of the program and apply it to my chapter," said Steven Meyer, Liberty, Mo., junior and president of Delta Chi. The group began the day with an exercise to discuss the stereotypes associated with the different organizations and chapters. Participants had to share a negative and a positive perception of each group, such as traditionally Caucasian, African American, Latin and Asian greek-letter organizations on campus. The participants were divided into smaller groups and worked on exercises throughout the day. At the end of the day, the group brainstormed action plans to improve the communication and understanding of the groups. The plans included ways to improve socially and administratively, and to improve the overall communication among the groups. Some ideas included coinciding office hours and a system-wide dinner. Laura Dakhil, vice president for public relations of the Panhellenic Association said she thought the event was a success. - Edited by Ryan Wood Group distributes feminism buttons It's a simple button: black with white writing stating "This is what a feminist looks like." The buttons are being distributed on Wescoe Beach by the Commission on the Status of Women as part of Women's History month. But the saying isn't limited to the University of Kansas campus. The "This What a Feminist Looks Like" T-shirts are featured on the cover of the March edition of Ms. magazine, Celebrities Ashley Judd, Margaret Cho, Camryn Manheim and Whoopi Goldberg are featured on the cover wearing the shirts. The commission created the campaign in response to a survey done of University female students, said Katherine Rose-Mockry, program director for the Emily Taylor Resource Center and adviser to the Commission on the Status of Women. A large number of respondents didn't identify themselves as feminists but still thought there wasn't equality for women, Rose-Mockry said. "The idea was to dispel the myths that feminists are of a particular political orientation, don't like men, radical in their beliefs," said Rose-Mockry. "Really, anyone who believes in equality for women can be a feminist." The majority of buttons have been distributed, but a few buttons remain, Rose-Mockry said. Many students have been sporting the buttons on their backpacks. — Jessica Hood TIRED OF SPENDING AN ETERNITY WALKING ACROSS CAMPUS? Bicycle JOIN THE YELLOW BIKE PROGRAM WHAT IS IT?

As students and members of the general public, we serve as receptacles of this coverage and shouldn't allow our lives to become dominated by the increasing presence of televised media, which depend on us for viewership. Of course, citizens of the United States have the responsibility to remain updated on the progress of this war, which endangers the lives of our servicemen and women in the Middle East. The overabundance of media coverage, however, in particular cable news stations such as Constant exposure to media pundits and military experts (seemingly any retired officer) most likely will have a detrimental effect on the war time lives of U.S. citizens. MSNEC, Fox News and CNN, has an effect on how the public perceives the war at home. Part of the blame can be placed on the fact that some reporters expressed that they felt barred from covering the Taliban conflict in Afghanistan. Some think, consequently, access has been granted on an exorbitant scale to the news media, now hiding behind every desert tank in every infantry everywhere forces light in Iraq. On some level this is true. Digital images of military forces constitute the bulk of the coverage seen on all news networks including the major ones. Seemingly every time explosions occur in Baghdad or a helicopter goes down, however, another image breaks into programming, another reporter wearing a gas mask suddenly dominates the room. As students and citizens, we should ask ourselves critical questions about how much war coverage to watch and the effect that coverage has on our lives. It is psychologically unhealthy to see too many effects of war, as we will inevitably become desensitized to the true gravity of violence or start to think of the war as we might a video game. A deeper atrocity of the conflict could be it becoming just another form of entertainment. The lives of men and women should never serve such purposes. Though completely avoiding war coverage may prove difficult and excessive — like avoiding the television itself — if approached with the right mindset, our perceptions of this conflict will remain in safe standing. Ignore the military expert drawing for you on a Telegrapher, but pay attention to large-scale events. Checking up on the action online may serve as an alternative, as well, with more to-the-point information than 24-hour-per-day news networks must, at times, contrive. Although we probably don't always think of the situation this way right now small victories, such as sensible response to media coverage, can be worrisome home. Don't truth or your well being become another casualty of this war. Sean Pauzauskle for the editorial board U.S. WAR FORCES ARMY NAVY AIR FORCE EMBEDS STINSON THE UNIVERSITY DARY KANICAN © 2003 STINSON'S VIEW Zach Stinson for The University Daily Kansan Tough to fit in abroad during war PERSPECTIVE Editor's note: Stauffer writes a biweekly column about her experiences studying abroad. She is participating in the humanities and western civilization program in Florence, Italy, and Paris. COMMENTARY R right now, being an American in Paris is a lot like being the new kid at school. You know the one. The kid is always wearing the wrong thing, talking funny, looking in the wrong places for the bathroom and most importantly—being shunned from the lunch table. Louise Stauffer opinion@kansan.com I speak French with a horrendous accent and, no matter how hard I try, I can't get the hang of leaving the last three letters off of every word. My experience in Paris is much the same. My clothes, which are pretty basic, are all wrong. This is partly because they are usually unwashed and most are more than five minutes old. I really am always lost and have come close to paying 100 euros for a bathroom out of desperation. And I definitely never have a cool seat in any restaurant. All the loud Americans seem to be placed as far away from the public as possible, usually in the basement or in a corner of the kitchen. This is so business is not destroyed. In war time, however, I not only feel like the new kid, but I feel like one fresh from the rival high school. I'm the visiting team who gets attacked with rotten vegetables from the bleachers at football games. The cool crowd hates me. Why? It's nothing personal, but I represent things that bother them deeply. Everything between our two "schools" clashes. Instead of getting offended, I remind myself that they don't know me personally; they just know a few bullies from my school who took their lunch money or something. Besides, I have a few grudges of my own, if I think about it. So, just like the new kid. I have a few choices. I could transfer back into my comfort zone. Or I could become the shy kid who never talks and therefore never gets made fun of but misses out on a lot. Or I could muster up some guts and grow a thick skin. I could try to make nice while still teaching them a few truths about where I come from. And I could still be friends with kids from my old school. Guess what I'm going to do. Stauffer is a Holland, Mich., junior in English and journalism. PERSPECTIVE Protest puts perspective on war I heard the news in Italian. In the lobby of a small Florence hotel on a 1950s television set, an Italian newscaster revealed Bush's ultimatum leave Iraq, Saddam, or the United States will attack. At least I was pretty sure this was the news, seeing as I don't speak Italian. GUEST COMMENTARY The imminence and reality of the news faded, though, as Florence swept me away. The clock was ticking while I was lost in the magnificence of the Renaissance city, surrounded by sights such as Michelangelo's David, the Centro Ponte Vecchio Italian Language, Art and Cooking school, the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo, or Cathedral, of Florence. Just as I began to settle into the city, though, I was off to Barcelona, Spain. The images from the television had entirely dissipated, replaced with the excitement of heading to one of Europe's most vibrant cities. I'd hit tapa bars, drink Sangria, take in amazing architecture and dance until sunrise in the clubs. Both the United States and Iraq were worlds away from me, even though reminders of the conflict permeated my surroundings. In Italy, peace flags hung from the windows of most buildings; in Barcelona, I would see dramatic posters covering the city showing the nozzle of a gas pump placed against a frightened young boy's temple. "No a la guerra" (no to war) the bold letters read below. The next morning, though, after catching a few hours of sleep, the news from two days earlier jolted me out of bed. Forty-eight hours had passed. I headed out of the hotel and was greeted with a human chain stretching the length of Las Ramblas, a nearly mile-long pedestrian district in the heart of the city. Hundreds of people stood silently hand-in-hand, dressed in anti-war apparel, in demonstration. A group of young school children passed and, spurred by their teacher, began chanting "No a la guerra." The hundreds of hands Jacob Roddy opinion@kansan.com The news I received from an Internet cafe confirmed my suspicion; we had attacked Iraq. Bush called it a decapitation strike, Saddam vowed the United States would be defeated, China said the attack was illegal, cities across Europe were planning for massive protests, and support for Bush and the war was increasing at home. I was an American abroad as the conflict gripped the world. I headed back to the hotel to let my friends know what had happened. One said everything seemed so insignificant in the face of this news. The fun I had been having certainly did. I tuned into a television at a café and saw images of the U.S. bombings. Apparently Saddam had survived. I saw thousands of Iraqi troops organizing and marching in Baghdad, news I was sure the U.S. stations were not broadcasting. Later that day, a demonstration of a couple thousand people took over one of Barcelona's main plazas. Anti-war and peace signs hovered above the crowds, "No a la guerra" and calls to dismiss Spanish President Jose Maria Aznar echoed through the streets; as did vulgarities directed at Bush and the United States. unlocked as the silent human chain erupted into cheers of support. The kids smiled, I stood overwhelmed. The next two days were filled with incredible sights — homes and the La Sagrada Familia designed by architect Antoni Gaudi, the Picasso museum, beautiful plazas — good food and drink and incredible night life. And once again the reality of the war seemed to fade. This would change. On my last full day in Barcelona, as late afternoon fell on the city, people began to take to the streets again. As I headed toward the heart of the demonstration, it was apparent this would be much larger than the one two days earlier. The crowd was heading down one of Barcelona's main streets. I walked to get in to the middle of it. The street was packed. Drums were beating, whistles were blowing, Chants, signs and flags filled the air. The mass of people would jump at times, lie down on the ground and scream as a news helicopter passed above. A group of people had covered itself in fake blood. A man with a can of spray paint tagged a McDonald's window with a crossed out bomb and was confronted by an employee as he tried to spray the door. The two exchanged words, and he went on his way, undoubtedly targeting the Pizza Huts. Burger Kings and KFCs that followed. The crowd was massive, as far as I could see in both directions, confined only by the buildings that lined the sides of the street. I was taken by the resolve and cohesion of so many people who dedicated their afternoon to this unified statement. I walked for almost two hours, awestruck by my surroundings. I didn't for a moment worry about my nationality or my safety because the tone of the demonstration was overwhelmingly peaceful. The next morning. I found out more than 500,000 people had taken part in the march, and that I had experienced one of the largest protests in the world that day. Eight hours later, though, the news that surrounded me was not of protests, but of support for Bush and the war. With a single plane ride, my reality had changed.

Wardlow said of her pet. A few blocks down, some women, perhaps swept away in thrill of victory, flashed passing cars. Complete strangers embraced and horn honks and fireworks made communicating impossible without shouting. Massachusetts Street offered scenes of delirium, typifying the mood in Lawrence. In front of the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., police officers high-fived passably. Moments after Kansas' 78- 75 victory over Arizona, hundreds of revelers flooded Jayhawk Boulevard and Massachusetts Street. Long lines of traffic clogged roads near campus as a steady stream of cars, most filled with screaming fans, lingered around campus. Though Saturday's victory came as a surprise for many, Arizona's No.1 seed and convincing victory earlier in the year did not bode well for the Jayhawks. Officials were prepared for Saturday's celebrations: Two portable toilets were set up on campus, and a large police contingent was present along Jayhawk Boulevard.

"It's been pretty steady," Danny Madrid, Olathe sophomore, said. "We've sold about 200 and we expect to sell hundreds of them." Most local eateries were deserted, with people either taking to the streets or heading for bars. Pizza delivery drivers also struggled with the gridlock. Local bars also benefited from the Jayhawks' victory Saturday. The line at It's Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St., stretched around the block. "It's so difficult," said Ryan Phelps, Clarendon Hills, III., sophomore and delivery driver for Pizza Hut. "I can't deliver pizza tonight at all. The roads are crazy, the people are insane. It's a mad house." "I'm soaking up the honks anyway," Trower said. "I'm guessing they won a basketball game, or whatever it was."

"I am familiar with the proposal made three to four years ago by the city commission, but I'm not familiar with those fliers," Hicks said. "I'm sure he's been asked about it by one of the bar owners he's talked to because it's a business concern for them." Divilbiss said he thought his positive relationship with those bar owners might have them supporting his campaign. "I haven't talked about that period," he said. According to all the city commission candidates, those concerns are unfounded. For now, bars are not a part of their platforms.

Jackson cjackson@kansan.com kansan staff writer Decorated in colorful green and yellow balloons, the signature colors of Brazil, Abe and Jake's Landing hosted about 1,000 people who gathered to celebrate Carnaval Saturday night. The event, which was put or by the Brazilian Student Association, was the culmination of a week's worth of activities by the club, including free samba dance lessons, martial arts demonstrations and other fundraising events. Saturday's gathering featured a live musical performance by the Chicago Samba Band, which had traditional dancers and played Brazilian samba music. Brandon Becker, Harper senior, said the music helped set the mood. "You can really get into the atmosphere," Becker said. "I don't know a lot about the culture, but I'm learning more about it tonight." Thais Brandao, the association's president and Boa Viagem, Brazil, senior, said her club emphasized introducing non-Brazilians to Brazilian culture. She said Saturday's event had impressed her because in addition to a large number of Brazilians, many unfamiliar with her culture attended the event. "Most of the mission of BSA is to get Americans aware of Brazilian culture," she said. "It's impressive to see people coming and saying 'I don't understand the lyrics, I don't understand the songs, but man isn't this culture wonderful?" Saturday's Carnaval celebration allowed some, such as Chris Shaw, Lawrence junior, to experience Brazilian culture outside of Brazil for the first time. "This is the first time I've been around a lot of Brazilians since I was in Brazil," he said. "I love the culture. Brazilian peo ple are very happy, social people." Shaw said the mood at Abe & Jake's, 8 E. Sixth St., made it easy to have a good time. "In this kind of climate, you can't imagine anyone not going out and having a good time," he said. Edited by Amber Byarlay Jayhawks featured as art with Jayhawks on Parade JEANINE HARRIS ByJJ Hensley Kansan staff writer jhensley@kansan.com Kelley Weiss/Kansan Alison and George Carter look at the "Chip off the old 'Hawk' fiberglass Jayhawk mold Thursday night at the Jayhawks on Parade reception. George Carter designed the bases for the jayhawks, which weigh 800 pounds each. Carter's company, Precast Engineering, designed the pedestals. For more about Jayhawks on Parade, see tomorrow's Kansan. Even if the Jayhawks' march through New Orleans stops prematurely, there will still be 20 good reasons for Jayhawk fans to flock to Lawrence in the coming months. This week marks the beginning of Jayhawks on Parade, a public art display of distinctly decorated Jayhawks constructed by local artists. Lawrence's latest attempt at public art is modeled after the popular Cows on Parade in Chicago and the Bears on Parade in Kansas City, among others. But the glut of other communities committed to parading fiberglass animals as art didn't dissuade planners at the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau from duplicating the idea here. That was because the projects had been an effective boost to tourism in other communities, said Susan Henderson of the bureau. Henderson said one goal of the project was to generate visitor traffic to Lawrence, particularly from KU alumni. "They always seem willing to come back to Lawrence for a visit, and we wanted to give them a nice excuse," she said. "I can usually tell where that story been picked up by where I'm Henderson said another goal was to raise money for non-profit groups. So far, so good, she said. The bureau has done a lot to generate advance publicity and it seems to be paying off. An Associated Press story on the parade has run in papers around the country, generating traffic at the Web site, www.jayhawksonparade.com, and e-mails to Henderson each week about the pending display. getting e-mails from," Henderson said. "The response so far has been great. We're pleased with the interest they've already generated and they aren't even up yet." Interest in the unique Jayhawks has been high from the start among local artists and the businesses who sponsor the project, she said. Individuals and 28 businesses paid $4,500 to sponsor each bird. The artists received $1,000 for each Jayhawk, which went to cover materials and other expenses. The remaining $3,500 costs associated with the event, from licensing the Jayhawk to getting the birds set up on pedestals around town — including on campus, in front of businesses and on Massachusetts Street, Henderson said. Megan McNellis, Lawrence sophomore, found out she was chosen to decorate a Jayhawk on her birthday. As the only KU student working on the project, the art major felt a certain obligation to capture the spirit of downtown. When changes had to be made to her original design, McNellis decided to focus on the two most visible arts in Lawrence: music and painting. The Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau liked her design so much it chose "The Hawk of the Arts" to display in front of its downtown building. "I don't feel like I was the one who did it," McNellis said. "But it will be a big relief to see it on display." When the birds come down in October, they will go to a non-profit group of the sponsor's choice or be kept on permanent display. The non-profit groups, such as Habitat for Humanity and Tenants to Homeowners, can then auction the statues to individuals or businesses or keep the birds to themselves. "We tried to pick one non-profit group to benefit from this when we started, but we couldn't agree on one even among ourselves, so ultimately, the sponsors got to pick their own charities to benefit from this." Henderson said. —Edited by Brandon Gay MASTERCRAFT APARTMENTS IT'S YOUR APARTMENT. YOU CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE IN IT.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1B MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2003 SPORTS COMMENTARY SERVICE COMMUNITY Ryan Wood rwood@kansan.com Toughest leg of journey already over Improbable. Bob Ferguson Eric Braem/Kansan that's the only way to describe the Kansas men's basketball team's trip to southern California this weekend. Facing battles with two of college basketball's most successful programs in the last decade, the Jayhawks sent both Duke and Arizona home — and sent themselves to the Final Four for the second straight year. Even more encouraging for Kansas fans, the rockiest road on the journey is now behind them. Sophomore guard Keith Langford and coach Roy Williams are all smiles following their victory in Anaheim. Articles have speculated that North Carolina head coach Matt Doherty could be fired this year, prompting rumors that coach Williams may be asked to replace Doherty as Tar Heels' coach. Not to say that the trip to New Orleans is a cinch. But going 2-0 in Anaheim, Calif., was a lot tougher than 2-0 in New Orleans will be. But, then again, who am I to make predictions? "That's the beauty of this," coach Roy Williams said. "This tournament is so unpredictable." Kansas' star-studded lineup came through once again. But who's been the most valuable? There's no definite answer — and that's why the Jayhawks are playing beyond their No.2 seed. Sure, forward Nick Collison comes to mind. His 33-point, 19-rebound game against Duke was simply legendary. When Kansas fans flock to Allen Fieldhouse in the coming years and see Collison's jersey in the rafters, his epic domination of the Dookies will be the freshest memory. Few will forget Collison's performance — especially teammate Kirk Hinrich, who was lucky Collison was so good on a night when he was shut down offensively. Then again, Hinrich returned the favor on Saturday. When Arizona's 1-3-1 zone defense smothered Collision inside. Hinrich was fantastic, scoring 28 points and giving the Kansas student body a reason to get smashed and act crazy — like we really need one. Keith Langford was sensational in the opening rounds in Oklahoma City, scoring 41 points in two games there. Michael Lee and Bryant Nash were big off the bench when Duke brought a quicker lineup to the table. Nash looked unfazed where he oftentimes is timid. Lee, like all season long, was a warrior. But what about Jeff Graves? He wasn't needed with an athletic, smaller Duke lineup, but Graves clutched up against Arizona on Saturday, tallying 13 big points and 15 even bigger rebounds. Even more impressive, Graves stayed out of foul trouble — and, not coincidentally, Kansas beat the best team in the country, 78-75. There's also unsung hero Aaron Miles. Solid as ever, Miles dished out a total of 14 assists to just four turnovers in Anaheim, registering seven steals in the process. Point is, Kansas has an outstanding chance at cutting down the nets a week from today, because there's nobody that Marquette, Syracuse and Texas can key on. The Dookies shut down Hinrich, and Collison killed them. The Wildcats shut down Collison, and Hinrich killed them. All along, the seniors' supporting cast delivered blow after blow to claim the title of "champion" in the tournament's toughest region. A 2-0 record in New Orleans is certainly feasible. Nobody in the Final Four field is better than Arizona. Any of the four teams would have more than a handful if they squared off with Duke. Kansas, though, beat them both. And with Hinrich and Collison leading the way, you know the Jayhawks aren't done yet. Wood is a Lee's Summit, Mo., senior in journalism Old rumors revived By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com kansan staff writer As Kansas rolls into its second consecutive Final Four appearance, Roy Williams is close to capturing his first national championship. But, rumors have speculated this might also be his last season at Kansas. The Charlotte Observer and the New York Daily News have published articles speculating that North Carolina men's basketball coach, Matt Doherty, will be fired, and that Williams could be a likely replacement. "Matt Doherty is our head coach, period," said Steve Kirshner, Director of Athletics Communication at UNC. Kirshner noted that under Doherty's reins, the Tar Heels improved their 2001- 2002 season record of 8-20 to 19-16 this season. The team also reached the quarterfinals of the NIT tournament. "We are happy with Matt as our coach," he said. "We had the youngest team in school history and beat four teams in the Sweet 16." However, the papers claim that Doherty's future at North Carolina is not reliant on his coaching ability, but his relationships with his players. The articles reported that North Carolina players and parents aired complaints about the Tar Heels' coach to UNC officials on Thursday. Kirshner said the players and parents had meetings with UNC athletic director Dick Baddour, but said that they were private conversations and that no one said they voiced concerns. John Dougherty, reporter for the UNC campus newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel said he had heard reports of struggles between the coach and players during the season. "Basically there was a lot of tension for about a month during the season," he said. "The kids had attitude problems and I think they were just sick of losing." Dougherty said many of the players had threatened to transfer during the season but would probably stay at North Carolina. "You will not see the number of transfers that we had last year," Dougherty said. "We know this because of comments by the players and sometimes their mothers." Last season, three Tar Heels transferred from UNC. Kirshner said it was not because of their relationships with Doherty. were some very talented guards coming in. I've talked to them about this, but they maintain that they aren't afraid of competition." "Neil Singleton wanted to be in an area with a strong British population," Kirshner said. "He is now at Holy Cross in Boston. Neither Adam Boone or Brian Morrison has said what led them to transfer, but they understood that there Freshman point guard Raymond Felton, sophomore forward Jawad Williams, freshman forwards David Noel and Sean May have all publicly said they would return for another season. Edited by Brandon Gay Reid, Dyer make move to defense By Shane Mettlen smettlen@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter Nick Reid was enthusiastic during the Jayhawks first week of full-contact drills. Of course, the enthusiastic sophomore safety has been on the other side of the line of scrimmage, too. Reid and senior Zach Dyer are both former quarterbacks vying for starting roles on defense. The road to the defensive back field has been a winding trail for both players. Reid entered the Kansas program as the top high school quarterback prospect in the state of Kansas, but quickly moved to safety after arriving in Lawrence. Injuries and a lack of depth led to Reid making the move again, this time to linebacker. Dyer, on the other hand, actually took snaps as a Jajhawk, splitting time with Mario Kinsey at quarterback his sophomore season. Kinsey eventually won the job outright mid-way through the season. Dyer then jumped to wide receiver for the remainder of the year. "I don't like sitting on the sidelines," Dyer said after making the switch in 2001. "That's the bottom line really. I just want to be out there." The Olathe native was back on the field as quarterback at the start of the 2002 season, but soon Bill Whitmorem replaced Dyer as the starter. Kansas coach Mark Mangino then looked for a way to get Dyer, one of his most athletic players, back on the field. That meant a move to defense. Now it's a new season for Dyer and Reid, who can devote their whole focus to developing skill at the safety position Mangino said that adjustment has gone well for the pair. "It's a learning process," Mangino said, noting the experience of playing quarterback can make the adjustment easier. "They're working at it. They're diligent. The safeties get a lot thrown at them in our defense and we have a great portion of our defensive package in. You really got to be sharp to be a safety in our defense." - Edited by Brandon Gay Hinrich still modest despite heroic effort By Doyle Murphy dmurphy@kansan.com Kansan senior sportswriter It was the same as it was after every game Kansas' senior guard played. The only indications that he had just led his team to a second-straight Final Four berth was the net hanging around his neck and a T-shirt proclaiming the Jayhawks as West Regional champions. ANAHEIM, Calif. — Kirk Hinrich sat in front of his locker at Arrowhead Pond, occasionally grinning but mostly staring straight ahead answering one question after another from a mob of reporters surrounding him. When reporters asked him about blocking a potentially game-tying three-pointer with three seconds to play, Hinrich shrugged his shoulders and said things like, "I knew they needed a three," and, "My height helped me." Hinrich's staid manner didn't reveal that he had just scored 28 points, made six three-pointers, tallied his 1,700th career point and 600th career field goal and blocked two shots — including the crucial three-pointer. He said little about all that. He didn't have to; his teammates did it for him. ESPN "Ever since I've played with him, I knew he had more heart and guts than anyone I've ever played with or seen," Kansas forward Nick Collison said of his classmate. Collison's statement came two nights after he poured in a career-high 33 points and grabbed 19 rebounds while John Nowak/Kansan Senior guard Kirk Hinrich casually talks to the media after the defeat of Arizona and his game-saving three-point block. "I knew they needed a three," Hinrich said. "My height helped me." Hinrich also added 28 points, 18 of those coming from three-pointers. dragging No. 2 Kansas past No. 3 Duke. But Arizona's 1-3-1 zone limited Collison to just seven shots and 8 points Saturday night. With Collison held in check, Kansas' title hopes could have been in serious trouble, but Hinrich picked up where his teammate had left off. SEE HINRICH ON PAGE 8A Baseball drops two, continues Big 12 stumble By Daniel Berk dberk@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter After two games with Oklahoma State, the Kansas baseball team (21-11 overall, 0-5 Big 12 Conference play) is still searching for its first conference victory of the season. The Jayhawks dropped the first game of the series on Saturday 8-7, then lost yesterday 16-6 as the Cowboys improved their record to 17-8 and 4-1 in conference play. Preseason All-American pitcher Scott Baker got the nod for Oklahoma State on Saturday and pitched seven innings, allowing four runs and striking out nine batters. The Jayhawks took a 4-1 lead early in the game, scoring all four runs in the third inning. Senior centerfielder Lance Hayes started the inning by reaching base after getting hit by a pitch. Then, freshman Ritchie Price, junior Ryan Baty, senior Kevin Wheeler and junior Matt Tribble all followed with singles to give Kansas its four runs in the inning. "The guys that bat in the one-two hole need to set the table for our three-six batters," coach Ritch Price said. "I was pleased with how they got on base, and I think the middle of our lineup is as good as any team in the Big 12. Obviously, we are not getting the type of production we need from the bottom of our lineup, so that is one thing we will continue to work on." The Cowboys regained the lead by scoring one run in the fifth and three more in the sixth inning. The score would remain 5-4 until Oklahoma State added three runs in the top of the ninth to make the score 8-4. Kansas would not die though, and Hayes and Ritchie Price managed to get on base again. Baty then followed with a three-run home run to centerfield. The score was 8-7, with no outs, but the Jayhawks could not manage to score again. "I was pleased with how we battled back late," Ritch Price said. "We have gone from not being very competitive to a competitive team, and now we have to get over the hump and not be satisfied with ourselves and get some wins." Wheeler suffered with the loss, pitching eight and two-thirds innings, allowing five earned runs and striking out eight batters.

Next stop for the Orangemen: New Orleans. Anthony scored 20 points and added 10 rebounds to lead coach Jim Boeheim and Syracuse back to the Final Four for the first time in seven years with a 63-47 victory over top-seeded Oklahoma in the East Regional final yesterday. After slow starts in the first three games of the NCAA tournament Anthony came out strong. The 6-foot-8 freshman star scored 10 points in the opening 12 minutes. The third-seeded Orangemen (28-5) will face the winner of the South Regional final between Texas and Michigan State next weekend. Syracuse's 2-3 zone took over from there, causing the Sooners (27-7) fits inside and outside. The Sooners managed just three points over the final 81/2 minutes of the first half as Syracuse took a 30-20 lead. Things got worse for Oklahoma. Syracuse scored the first eight points of the second half to take its biggest lead on a 3-pointer by freshman Gerry McNamara with 15:35 to play that capped a 22-3 run. The last time Syracuse was in the Final Four was 1996 when it lost to Kentucky in the national championship game. The last time the Orangemen were in New Orleans for a Final Four they lost to Indiana in the 1987 championship. Now, Boeheim gets another chance at that elusive national title. As the final seconds ticked off, Anthony finally looked like a freshman as he stood near midcourt jumping up and down before flensing the ball high toward the roof of Pepsi Arena. When he was announced as the regional MVP, the partisan sellout crowd of 15,207 started chanting "One more year," hoping that this wouldn't be his first and last NCAA tournament. Hakim Warrick had 13 points and nine rebounds for Syracuse, which was playing just 21/2 hours from its campus. After the Kansas softball team finished a doubleheader at Iowa State yesterday, the Jayhawks found themselves in a good news-bad news situation. The good news was that the they had finally earned their first Big 12 conference win by beating the Cyclones 7-0 in the first game. The bad news was that Kansas fell to the ISU in the next game,3-1. With the home run, Moppin made it into the school record book by breaking. In the first game, familiar faces got the hits for Kansas (21-9 overall, 1-5 Big 12 conference). Freshman second baseman Jessica Moppin continued to be red-hot at the plate, crushing a two-run home run in the first inning, her ninth of the year. The blast was part of a three-run first inning, as the 'Hawks jumped out of the gates early. the current freshman home run record of eight set by Keli May in 1980. Moppin tied the record in the second game of a doubleheader with Oklahoma City University on Tuesday. Junior outfielder Sylvia Pfeiffer also homered later in the game, part of a three-run fifth inning for Kansas. On the pitching side, junior Kara Pierce recorded her fifth shutout on the season by striking out six batters and only allowing two hits. The win improved her record to 13-7. The Cyclones (13-18, 1-3) were able to switch roles with the Jayhawks and grab an early 2-0 lead in the first inning of the second game. Kansas managed to get the game to 2-1, after Moppin scored from a sacrifice fly from freshman third baseman Nettie Fierros. But that was it for the 'Hawks as far as scoring. Iowa State freshman pitcher Kristen Karanzias was able to hold the high-scoring Kansas offense at bay, only allowing three runs off while striking out six. The two squads were originally scheduled to play one game on Saturday and another yesterday, but inclement weather on Saturday forced yesterday's doubleheader. Senior pitcher Kirsten Milhoan suffered the loss for Kansas, dropping her record to 8-3. Kansas will next head down Interstate 35 to take on the Shockers of Wichita State in a doubleheader at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. — Steve Schmidt Track team marks nine top finishes MONDAY,MARCH 31,2003 For Kansas track and field high jumper Sondra Rauterkus, there is something about the first meet of the season. The sophomore began the indoor season by provisionally qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Championship at the KSU Invitational on Jan. 10. On Thursday she started the outdoor season by winning the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 7 inches at the Vortex ESU Spring Twlight in Emporia. "I was just ready to go." Rauterkus said. "I hadn't competed in a while, and I was excited to jump." Rauterkus said vertical jumps coach Brian Ferry changed her approach and that might have contributed to her success. She said she wanted to build on this performance for the rest of the season. "I think sometimes I peak too early in the season, but hopefully this year will be different," she said. Rauterkus' performance was one of the team's nine first-place finishes in the meet. The winners included junior Monique Peters in the long jump (19'2.75"), sophomore Lauren Brown-rigg in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (12.07.9), freshman Abby Emsick in the shot put (45'6.25") and the discus (159'4"), freshman Jenna Bimbi in the 1,500-meter run (45:1.8), junior Laura Lavoie (10:02.9) in the 3,000-meter run, sophomore Brandon Hodges in the 1,500-meter run (40:3.5) and freshman Cameron Schwehr in the 5000-meter run (15;11,3). Rauterkus, Emsick, and senior pole vaulter Vadim Gvozdetskiy all regionally qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. This is the first year that the outdoor track season will have regional championships. Athletes must qualify for the regional meet where they will then compete to qualify for the NCAA Championships. "The mark to get in was not that high, so I knew I could do it," Rauterkus said. "It is nice to get it out of the way in case I get injured or something." Kansas will travel to Austin, Texas this weekend to compete at the Texas Relays. Chris Wintering Royals confident after good spring The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With 1999 still fresh on their minds, nobody knows better than Kansas City fans how cruelly deceptive spring training records can be. A young Royals team that appeared to offer great potential came out of Florida four years ago with a major league-best 22-9 exhibition record and said it was brimming with newfound confidence. Kansas City then went out and lost 97 games. Chicago White Soxwith, well, confidence. This year the Royals went 19-10 during their first spring training in Arizona and head into today's opener against the "For us to put up that record in spring training, we had to do a lot of things right," new manager Tony Pena said. "And we did things right. It was not only about winning. It was about playing the game the right way. We did that. And good things will come from that." good things Coming off the first 100-loss season in franchise history, the Royals will start right-hander Runvelys Hernandez, 4-4 as a rookie last year, against Chicago left-hander Mark Buhrle (19-12). Hernandez is part of a five-man rotation that has just 21 career major league victories. "These guys are just puppies, but it's very, very exciting to see how much potential there is in those young arms," said Pena. While the Royals would consider a 500 record a major breakthrough, the White Sox acquired veteran right-hander Bartolo Colon and reliever Billy Koch in hopes of improving last year's 81-81 finish. Colon was 20-8 with Cleveland and Montreal last year, while Koch had 44 saves and 11 wins with Oakland. The White Sox are also hoping for a comeback season from Frank Thomas, who hit .221 in 2001 and .252 last year. kansan.com Where would you rather be for Kansas's Final Four game?

The 4-3 victory over Texas Tech came down to the crucial doubles point and key victories in singles. In doubles, the Jayhawks won two of three matches.

In singles, Lorenz came away with the lone victory against Izabela Mijic 6-3, 6-3. Kansas drops to 7-8 overall and 3-5 in the Big 12 Conference.

Wild-geri nior "Every time they needed a bucket, he was there." Jason Gardner Arizona senior guard, about Kirk Hinrich 65 2:39 KANSAS guard Jason Gardner knows first hand. It was Gardner who shot the late three-pointer into Hinrich's palm, and it was Gardner again who was chased down by Hinrich as he fired Arizona's last unanswered prayer at the buzzer. It was also Gardner, along with the rest of the Wildcats, who watched as Hinrich put Kansas ahead twice late in the game with deep three-pointers. "That is why he is one of the best players in the country," Gardner said. "Every time they needed a bucket, he was there." Now Hinrich plans to be there for his team in New Orleans, but even if he leads Kansas to its first title since 1988, don't expect to know it by the tone of his voice. The accomplishment might be obvious by what he wears around his neck. —Edited by Ryan Wood Kansas senior guard Kirk Hinrich flashes a smile as Duke's J.J. Redick guards him Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B seven runs up in the first four innings. The Jayhawks tried to fight back as they scored once in both the third and fourth inning, but could not get any closer. A highlight from yesterday's game came from senior Casey Spanish, who went 4-for 4 on the day with two singles, a triple and a home run "We just have to forget about this loss and continue to play hard," Spanish said. "Coach did not have much to say, and we know that we have to get the win tomorrow and avoid the sweep." The Jayhawks and Cowboys will finish their threegame series today at 3 p.m. at Hogglund Ballpark. Edited by Ryan Wood KANSAS 25 John Nowak/Kansan Sophomore guard Michael Lee maneuvers his way into the Duke zone during the second half. Lee played 25 minutes and scored 5 points. KANSAS 11 John Nowak/Kensan Sophomore guard Aaron Miles laughs as he moves up the court against Duke on Thursday.
