2 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003 Campus Briefs THOMPSON HOUSE Picturing the future Rendering courtesy of University Relations University of Kansas officials unveiled a color rendering of the new Rieger Scholarship Hall for women on Friday. The $3 million limestone-and-brick building, to be built in the 1300 block of Ohio Street, was designed by Treanor Architects to match the character of the neighborhood. The building design will go before the Campus Historic Preservation Board June 6 and to the Lawrence Historic Resources Commission June 19. Bidding for the project and groundbreaking should take place in spring 2004, with construction completed in summer 2005 and the hall ready to open fall semester 2005. Student Senate president takes same path as father Andrew Knopp, the newly elected Student Senate president, has an unlikely mentor for his new job: his father. Thirty years ago, Joe Knopp was elected to the same position at Kansas State University. Among his accomplishments were setting up legal services for students and initiating semester faculty evaluations. The younger Knopp said his impression was that his father had a successful term. Despite those successes, Knopp said he ran for president independently of his father's past. "I ran because I saw the position as the best way for me to contribute to the University and make positive change," he said. Knopp said his father was always a great resource. "Most of the time his advice is to study more and spend less time on Student Senate," he said. Knopp named his executive staff last week: Kaelyn Fox and Kevin Hager, Center for Community Outreach co-directors; Lindsay Kokoruda, student body treasurer; Tim Akright, KU on Wheels transportation coordinator; J. Nicholas Sterner, community affairs director; Kyle Johnson, student executive committee chair; Bryan Young, student body assistant treasurer; Blake Shuart, SLAB director; Jana Szatkowski, student senate communications director; and Marynell Jones, student senate executive secretary. — Ehren Meditz Upward Bound receives grant to secure program The University's Upward Bound program will be financially secure for four more years thanks to a grant awarded last week by the U.S. Department of Education Upward Bound will receive $376,537 for each of the next four years, a 2 percent increase from the program's previous grant. Ngondi Kamatuka, director of educational opportunity programs for the school of education, said he was happy the grant was renewed, but disappointed the amount was less than the $407,255 budget requested. "It won't dilute the basic services, but we may have to cut a few corners," he said. Kamatuka said the summer program hosted by the University each year may have to be five weeks rather than six and the number of KU students helping with the program may decrease. The Upward Bound program helps 65 low-income high school students prepare for college through ACT preparation career counseling and campus visits. The students likely to be the first college graduates in their families enter the program in their freshman year of high school and receive assistance until college. The grant also included $222,267 for each of the next five years for the Veteran's Upward Bound program, which helps veterans get back into post secondary education. "Simply enrolling in classes can be a huge barrier for someone who's 45 and been out of school for 25 years," said manager Julia O'Dell. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said there was no truth to the rumor that he was a finalist for president of Indiana University. — Richard Gintowt Chancellor says Kansas still his home territory Hemenway has on more than one occasion said he would not consider leaving Kansas and that he was a "Jayhawk for life." "You should not believe everything you read in the newspaper," Hemenway said. "To my knowledge, I have not been contacted by anyone from Indiana University." Hemenway said he was very happy in Kansas and was not planning on leaving. Hemenway is said to have declined the invitation to become a candidate when he was contacted early in the year. An Associated Press story named him along with Nancy Zimpher, chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, as the two remaining candidates for the president's position at Indiana. Student claims sexual assault by co-worker in Templin Hall — Saju Ng'alla A 19-year-old female KU student told campus police Friday that she had been sexually assaulted by a co-worker at Templin Hall. According to a police report, the suspect allegedly grabbed the woman's breasts between 1:30 p.m. and 1:31 p.m Friday. "The suspect was contacted, interviewed and the case will be turned over to the DA's office," Sgt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said. Annie Bernethy ON THE RECORD An employee at the Natural History Museum, 1345 Jayhawk Blvd., told police that someone had stolen $500 from the museum between 5:00 p.m. on Friday and 8:45 p.m. Saturday.

WEDNESDAY,JUNE 4,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 3 ALCOHOL Sunday liquor sales still topic of debate By Brandon Baker bbaker@kansan.com kansan staff writer Following a string of other Kansas cities, the Leavenworth City Commission considered allowing Sunday liquor sales yesterday. Lenexa, Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe and Mission have all addressed the same issue. The city commissioners of Lawrence have focused on Sunday liquor sales, but they have put it on the back burner for now. Lawrence City Commissioner David Schauner said the issue of Sunday liquor sales was a bit like a line of dominoes when one city passed Sunday sales, neighboring cities thought they should do the same. Alvin Schmidtberger, owner of Alvin's Wine and Spirits, 901 Iowa St., said the city needed to start considering Sunday liquor sales. "Douglas County is going to have to take a stand or lose money," Schmidtberger said. "They can't allow the next counties to take their business." Kamme Kostner, Wichita junior, said traveling out of state for Sunday liquor was a common practice for her friends. "Even if we do buy enough for Sunday, we drink it Saturday," Kostner said. Jim Myers, owner of Myers Retail Liquor, 902 W.23rd St., said that eventually SUNDAY LIQUOR SALES: CITIES Lenexa — passed, in effect June 21 Overland Park — passed Kansas City, Kan. — passed Edwardsville — passed Prairie Village — voting in June Olathe — public hearing yesterday Leawood — considering the issue Mission — Sunday liquor sales vetoed Lawrence would allow sales of liquor on Sunday,but sales would remain the same. "It makes for a slower Saturday and Sunday," Myers said. David M. Dunfield, mayor of Lawrence said that the issue would eventually come before the city commissioners, but that it was not urgent. Dunfield added that individual employment would increase but that the city wouldn't earn any more revenue from Sunday liquor sales. Taxes from liquor sales go to the state of Kansas, not the individual city. Matt Rice, Kansas City, Mo., graduate and employee at Jensen Retail Liquor, 620 Ninth Street, said he wouldn't mind working a short shift on Sunday, but agreed that sales on Saturday would be affected. "It's a new trend but eventually it will come," Rice said. — Edited by Amy Kelly DAILEY: Provision may cut school budget which Sebelius vetoed on April 21.

Kay O'Connor said she supported Wagle's provision and that if Dailey's class included pornography, it's the Legislature's job to let taxpayers know where their money was going. Dailey was surprised Sebelius passed the second provision because the underlying principles were similar to the first amendment, he said. provision was a compromise of language. Lauren Debiak, Lenexa junior, took Dailey's class in the fall of 2002. She said she thought the law was unnecessary because viewing the videos was an optional part of the class. "Pornography demeans a part of human life-that should be elevated," O'Connor said. "I feel very strongly that we're moving in the right direction." Dailey said although the provision had little substance, passing it had a symbolic impact by lending credibility to the activities of the Legislature. "If someone was offended by it, they could leave," Debiak said. "No one was forced to do anything they didn't want to do." O'Connor said she thought the second The provision hasn't affected enrollment in the elective class, which currently has 437 students signed up for next fall.

The two roommates' apartment was struck by a tornado last month. They are moving back to their respective hometowns and then to Kansas City because of the damage the apartment received. Zach Straus/Kansan Aleaka Apt, Iola graduate student, walked to her kitchen after a weather man informed her that the tornado watch in Lawrence was not near her apartment at 4704 Ranch Court. As she passed a window and glanced out, she saw a dark cloud over her neighbor's house heading towards her. Apt dove for the bathroom as the tornado passed directly over her apartment. "It sounded like a train coming through," Apt said. She was home alone on May 8 when the tornado touched down. The tornado broke almost all the windows in her apartment and pushed the east-facing wall about four inches away from the structure. Apt called her dad immediately after. "I was like, 'What do I do now?'" she said. Pieces of insulation and shingles from other apartments were now in Apt's living room. Her garage door was bent and could not be opened. However, Apt was mostly concerned with getting in touch with her roommate Brooke Waldron, Ottawa graduate student and letting her family and friends know she was OK. She found her shoes within the rubble and headed outside. She had just experienced the first significantly damaging tornado to hit Lawrence since 1981. The tornado in 1981 killed one man in the K-Mart at 3106 Iowa. There were no deaths in the tornado storm that hit Lawrence in May. The National Weather Service classified the Lawrence tornado as an F-2 on the Fujita tornado damage scale. An F-2 tornado is classified by winds ranging from 113-157 mph, which usually damages roofs, destroys mobile homes and splits trees. The tornado damaged 192 dwelling units in 98 buildings in Lawrence. The tornado that struck Lawrence was one of 11 tornadoes in northeastern Kansas that night said Mike Akulow, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service. Raintree Montessori School, 4601 Clinton Parkway, sustained an estimated $6,393,276 worth of damage, said Paula Phillips, director of the Emergency Management Office of Douglas County. The Kansas Insurance Department said the storms and tornadoes that hit Lawrence caused about $5 million in insured losses in a report published by the Lawrence Journal World Saturday. The Salvation Army helped put people up at local hotels. Apt and her roommate stayed at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, which gave victims of the tornado discounted rates. Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, gave Apt and Waldron cameras to document the damage for insurance purposes. Apt said she was lucky the renters insurance her parents purchased covered all of her and A tormade touched down in southwest Lawrence on May 8,2003, damaging buildings and destroying many KU students' property. her roommate's possessions The American Red Cross aided victims by giving vouchers for household items, said Jane Blocher, executive director of the American Red Cross Douglas County Chapter. Apt and Waldron moved out of their Aberdeen apartment because it had significant water damage from rain storms after the tornado. Crews patched their roof, but the large amounts of rain Lawrence received in the days after the tornado leaked through the patches, further damaging their apartment. Apt is moving in with her parents in Neosho, Mo., for the summer, and plans to return to Lawrence in the fall to finish her graduate degree. But not all the tornado's damages were detrimental, Apt said. "Igot out of taking my final," she said. "I wished my car would have been outside so I could have gotten a new one." — Edited by Brandon Baker WEDNESDAY,JUNE4,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5 PEOPLE Brokaw to give speech for institute dedication NBC anchor to attend Dole ceremony in July with Giuliani, Carter By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Another American icon has confirmed he will attend the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics dedication ceremony. NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw will join Bob and Elizabeth Dole, former Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani at the dedication ceremony and World War II commoration held July 20 through 22. 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. The ceremony will coincide with Dole's 80th birthday on July 22. "It's going to be something," said Erik Nelson, associate director of the institute. PETER R. GROVE Brokaw "Any one of these events is great, but altogether people won't be able to resist." Brokaw will speak at the "Salute to the Heroes" and "Legacy of Leadership" dinner on July 21 and the formal dedication on July 22. Brokaw has written many books about World War II and the people who fought in it. His first book, The Greatest Generation, was published in 1998. He followed with The Greatest Generation Speaks in 1999, which included letters from people born in the 1920s. His third book, An Album of Memories, is a collection of photos and memorabilia from famous moments during the war. "It's fantastic on a number of levels," said Richard Norton Smith, director of the institute. "Senator Dole wants to honor Brokaw and incorporate a salute to him. It's very appropriate and overdue."

It looks a little different, but if you hold it at an angle and squint with your right eye closed, you can tell it's related to its siblings, the fall and spring publications of the same name. To make the most of our workforce, downsized for the summer, we're publishing weekly in tabloid format. GUEST COMMENTARY Lindsay Hanson lhanson@kansan.com The format is different, but the goal is the same: We work to bring campus news to you, the students. Because the paper is weekly, we're looking for news that you'll want to keep around for a while. And with less activity on campus, we'll be covering more stories that focus on student life. When a new bar opens, we're on it. When Justin Timberlake comes to town with the Blackeyed Peas in July — we're keeping our fingers crossed — we'll be there. And we'll bring heart-wrenching stories about the effects of the city's new anti-fireworks ordinance on students suffering from pyromania. That's not to say we're neglecting the newswier stories. Look for updates on the search for a new athletics director. Look for coverage on the opening of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. And look online at Kansan.com for daily updates on what's happening between the Wednesday publications. It's summer, but the Kansan is still your forum.

The 12th annual KAN Film Festival, Kansas' answer to Cannes, took place on Saturday, May 31 at the Lied Center. The KAN Film Festival drew 184 film entries that were then narrowed to 74 finalists. BRIAN RUSSELL Seven of the finalists were students or graduates from the University of Kansas. like if the Confederacy would have won the Civil War. Willmott said after Hollywood studios felt his film about slavery wouldn't be a financial success, CSA became a locally based project. "I think it fits well with the theme of KAN," Willmott said. "One of the things that CSA represents is community filmmaking." Perez-Tejada earned second place for Ellipses in the College Division's Original category. He based the film on the term ellipses, which is a term to describe fading in and out during a film. To raise money for KAN Film Festival, Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of the theater and film, showed his film CSA, which stands for Confederate States of America, at Crow Center in Kansas City, Mo. It explores what life might have been The judges consisted of individuals associated with filmmaking in the area. Winners received savings bonds or cash awards.

The program costs about $6,000, which a $2 increase in student fees is funding beginning next semester. The revenue allows Saferide to add three cars to the fall and spring programs and to better promote the service. After the $2 increase cleared the Student Senate in April, the Board of Regents approved the plan earlier last month. With the emergence of the new Saferide program could come uncertainty, said Tim Akright, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels. Eric Darnell, Saferide supervisor at the Lawrence Bus Company, said he had no idea how much use the summer program could expect. "We really don't have a firm grasp at all on what sort of demand is out there," Akright said. future," Darnell said. Darnell added that the fall and spring programs were consistently busy every night of the week, both with students needing designated drivers or just a ride home. For now, Akright said the program would have to rely on word of mouth. "There's not going to be a huge campaign for this summer," Akright said. He said that KU on Wheels would make the program known to bars across Lawrence this summer. A new promotional campaign will begin in the fall. Although the idea has been talked about for some time, an in-depth discussion began during last year's Student Senate sessions. The Office of Institutional Research and Planning estimated more than 9,000 students enrolled in summer courses last year, a steady increase over prior years. Beginning tomorrow, the service runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday,and it will continue through July 24. The service is available from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. by calling 864-SAFE.

The first of a six-phase construction plan is underway on Jayhawk Boulevard. Construction workers are replacing underground secondary water pipes dating back to the Teddy Roosevelt era. The construction interrupts southbound traffic, making the road one-way in places and forcing the two summer buses off their original routes. "No one is too happy about this construction," said Tim Akright, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels. He added that students should expect periodic route changes. The construction of phase one in front of the Kansas Union will temporarily eliminate the southbound Kansas Union and Lippincott Hall stops. The route will travel on Mississippi Street instead and return to the boulevard by Bailey Hall. As the construction moves further down Jayhawk Boulevard, those stops will return and the Bailey and Snow Hall southbound stops will be removed. Ernest Jenkins, Lancaster, S.C., graduate student, said the changes shouldn't be much of a problem for him. Akright said the construction, coupled with other off-campus road construction projects, could create a larger problem for students. Akright encouraged students to visit the KU on Wheels web site for the latest route information. The site will be updated one to three days before changes in the route occur. "I could easily be at another stop,"Jenkins said. "The more construction that happens, a larger problem it becomes," Akright said. Akright said the construction should be complete in mid-August. — Edited by Saju Ng'alla WEDNESDAY,JUNE4,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 9 COURT Deans vindicated; suit is thrown out By Jennifer Wellington jwellington@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A federal court judge dismissed a lawsuit May 9 against James Gentry, dean of journalism, and Myron "Michael" A. Kautsch, former journalism dean. The lawsuit, brought by former journalism faculty member Michael Cuenca, alleged discrimination of race and national origin when Cuenca was denied tenure in 2000. Cuenca worked for the University from 1994 to 2001. He is Filipino and Hispanic. LAUREN ALEXANDER Cuenca "I think the ruling showed how totally weak his case was," journalism professor Ted Frederickson said. U. S. District Judge Sam A. Crow found that Cuenca had failed to show any evidence that the University or the journalism deans "acted with a discriminatory motive." Crow also ordered Cuenca to pay the university's costs for defending the lawsuit. "We're pleased that the judge determined Cuenca's case is without merit," said Lynn Bretz, director of university relations. "The University felt from the beginning that the case had no merit and that the University and its administrators treated Mr. Cuenca in a fair and equitable manner without retaliation or regard to his race or national origin." Cuenca's lawsuit also alleged that an article published in The University Daily Kansan by Frederickson constituted racial harassment. At the time of Cuenca's employment, Frederickson was chairman of the news and information sequence in the School of Journalism. Fredrickson's article refuted Cuenca's racism claims and spoke to Cuenca missing classes he was supposed to be teaching. The article also called into question a decision by Cuenca to cancel class and send his newspaper design class to a trial involving a discrimination lawsuit against one of his friends. "None of the language used in the article is racially derogatory," Crow wrote in his ruling. Gentry said he was pleased with the court's decision. "It was obvious from the start that the EVENTS SURROUNDING CUENCA CASE August 1994 — Cuenca joined the University as an assistant professor of visual communications. May 1996 — Kautsch gave Cuenca his second evaluation, which was lowered to "poor to adequate." June 1995 Dean Kautsch gave Cuenca his first evaluation with a rating of "good." June 1996 — Cuenca sent Kautsch a letter objecting to his evaluation, asking for an explanation of it and stating his intent to appeal. Kautsch's evaluation was maintained July 1997 New journalism dean James Gentry notified the faculty of a New Media Leader position. Cuenca told Gentry he believed he had been hired to fill such a role. Gentry responded that he had not been informed of such, but Cuenca was welcome to apply for the position. Fall 1997 — Cuenca applied for the position and was found to be qualified but he did not receive an interview. Three other candidates, all white males, received interviews. None of those candidates were selected and the position was dropped. October 1998 --- Cuenca filed suit against Kautsch and Gentry, claiming race-based discrimination. December 1999 — The school's committee on promotion and tenure notified the plaintiff that they had "voted overwhelmingly to deny" his tenure. Feb. 25, 2000 The University Daily Kansan published a statement from Ted Fredrickson, chairman of the news and information sequence. September 2000 — Cuanca requested a second review for promotion and tenure and asked that his notice of terminal appointment be rescinded. He went through the process again and was denied. March 2000 - Cuenca received a letter stating that 2000-2001 would be his last year of employment. allegations were without merit," he said. "So I'm pleased the court has dismissed the suit in summary judgment." May 2003 — A U.S. district court judge dismissed all claims Cuenca filed. Cuenca plans to appeal the court's decision.

The Board of Regents will vote on the proposed tuition increase on June 25. According to the proposal, resident undergraduates taking 15 credit hours will pay $308.50 more each semester and nonresident undergraduates taking 15 credit hours will pay $445 more each semester. This totals $8.6 million more a year to the University. Provost David Shulenburger said the proposal was a five-year plan, meaning tuition would increase by the same amount each year for five years. At the end of five years, the tuition increase will total $43 million. Andy Knopp, student body president, worked on the tuition advisory committee last year and said student concerns were adequately represented regarding the increase. "We're appreciative of the administration's commitment to use the money for student programs," Knopp said. Knopp said one area that needed the money the most was technology. The University plans to use $4.8 million to improve classroom technology and the new student portal system, he said. The proposal also pays $8.4 million for new faculty positions and programs and $7.3 million to faculty salaries. "They said they wouldn't use the money to fill in the cracks in the budget, and they kept their word," Knopp said. PROPOSED FIVE-YEAR TUITION ENHANCEMENT PLAN* "Everything costs money," Cohlmia said.

Shulenburger said the proposal also fixed two problems. For one, he said the Lawrence campus lost money paying for programs at the Edwards Campus. In the proposal, Edwards Campus students would pay a $30 per credit hour surcharge to cover the loss. dents needed more funding for equipment. The University proposed a $15 per credit hour equipment fee for architecture students. All six of the state's public universities proposed tuition increases to the Board of Regents.

Campus libraries will be offering free copies until they find a vendor to take charge of campus copying. Students can thank the KU Card Center for the unexpected freebies. The center implemented a new campus card system over spring break and erased all smart chip accounts Friday, May 30, leaving the libraries without a functioning system to charge for copies. The new stripe system - awarded to ATM supplier Diebold in December marks a major effort of the KU card center to expand and streamline the functions of the KUID. "KU has lagged behind other schools in finding an effective card system," said David Johnston, marketing director for the KU Memorial Unions. "The smart chip just never caught on." Johnston attributed the ineffectiveness of the smart chip to inconvenience and a lack of promotion. Under the new system, students will be able to add "Beak Em Bucks" to their card online and use that money to do laundry, make copies and eat. Their purchases will be deducted from their accounts immediately via an online system that connects all Diebold card readers. Johnston said the biggest benefit of the new system will be a meal plan that allows students to eat at the Kansas Union as well as dining halls. Students may even be able to eat off campus within a year if local businesses agree to accept Beak 'Em Bucks. "We're trying to give the people who go off-campus for lunch a reason to stay on campus," Johnston said. One thing students may not be able to do with their Beak 'Em Bucks, however, is buy sodas. Coke has no plans at this time to install new card readers, said Patrick Rupe, Coke's sales manager to the University. "It'd be suicidal for Coke to do that," said Johnston, who said the card readers cost $2,000 apiece. "A lot of people may criticize Coke, but it was really KU's decision." Kent Miller, libraries facilities officer, said the change to Diebold was a factor in the libraries' decision to outsource copying services. Miller said handing over responsibility to a vendor will allow the library to invest in other things and should translate into better-functioning copy machines. "We know about running libraries but copying is a whole 'nother line," Miller said. "We think a vendor will be more efficient because it's their business." EMPLOYMENT — Edited by Kevin Wiggs Recent graduates face difficult job search By Jennifer Wellington jwellington@kansan.com Kansan staff writer As Megan Hogan walked down the hill last Sunday with more than 4,000 other KU graduates, her emotions were a mixture of excitement and fear. The Hutchinson journalism graduate was excited to finally be done with school, she said, but fearful because she didn't have a job lined up for after graduation. "I'm moving to Oregon in a couple of months, but I don't have a job or anything, so I'm really scared," Hogan said. "It's so hard right now to find a job, and I don't know what I want to do with my degree." Like Hogan, many 2003 graduates will have difficulty finding employment, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. The group predicts job prospects will be no worse than last year's. The class of 2003 is still contending with a market that is weaker than when its members left high school. U. S. companies reported that employers are expected to hire 42 percent fewer new college graduates this year than last year. Only 21 percent said they would supply the same number of new graduates, according to NACE's Job Outlook 2003 Spring Update, which included a survey of 353 American companies. "Employers are really looking at a variety of things from applicants this year," said Camille Luckenbaugh, Employment Information Manager for NACE. "Communication skills, interpersonal and teamwork skills, as well as relevant work experience, are vital in new graduates." Even though enrollment in graduate school increased by 5 percent in 2002 and is expected to rise even higher this fall, Andrad said students choosing to get their master's degree instead of joining the work force could end up hurting themselves in the long run. Luckenbaugh also said it was extremely important for graduates to research the company's background and the position they are applying for before accepting any interviews. Mary Andrad, assistant director for the University Career and Employment Services, said the job market was more difficult for students without experience in their field. "What we're seeing now is that because of layoffs, more and more people with experience are joining the job pool with these new graduates," she said. "They could end up being overqualified or not have enough work experience," Andrad said. "So during their summers while in grad school, they need to have work experience." - Edited by Ehren Meditz WILL LEARN FOR FOOD Photo illustration by Zach Straus/Kansan After graduation, students are facing a bare job market. The lack of opportunities for employment has left recent graduates wondering what the monetary future holds in store for them. 7 12 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PHOTO ESSAY WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003 Need for speed Jayhawk motor sports team records the best finish ever at engineers' formula car race photos by Brandon Baker Ben Brown, Haven senior and captain of the chassis team, drills holes into spacers for the mounts that connect the chassis and the frame. By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The many sleepless nights spent by the University of Kansas Jayhawk Motor sports Team resulted in its best finish ever at the Society of Automotive Engineers' formula car race. The team finished 17th overall out of more than 125 entries at the competition on May 14 through 18 in Pontiac, Mich. The group used up the spring 2003 semester building a formula-style race car from scratch for its senior project. The team exhausted many busy nights and $22,000 to complete the car. "We were well prepared and were about par with expectations," said Robert Sorem, associate dean for undergraduate studies at the School of Engineering and faculty advisor for the team. "It was well run without many hiccups." Ben Brown, Haven senior, files down a half inch from the back of the race car's body. Brown said the alternator cover was larger than planned and the carbon fiber body had to be filed down to fit the engine properly. The competition was divided into seven parts, with four dealing with car performance. The judges looked at the cost of the car, the design and a sales presentation. The presentation gave the Jayhawk team its best finish — 11th overall. The downfall of the competition for Kansas came on the skid pad, which measured cornering ability on a flat surface. It rained during two of the five days causing problems for the Jayhawk team. The first part that measured performance was an endurance race. Kansas was one of only 34 teams to complete the 22-lap race. Fuel economy was also measured during the endurance run. "The team was right where we expected, but the weather hurt." Sorem said. "We didn't have much experience."

TORONTO LAWRENCE BAGHDAD DALLAS/FORT WORTH HYDERABAD SAN FRANCISCO The issue arose during Thursday's Shawnee County Commission meeting, when members noted that aircraft used by Westar executives had been exempt from property taxes since 1997, under a decision by the state Board of Tax Appeals. In an audit released two weeks ago, investigators working for the company's board of directors concluded that former chief executive David Wittig and other executives used the aircraft repeatedly for personal business. It also suggested that flight logs had been falsified. State law permits companies to receive an exemption on aircraft used for business purposes. However, Jim Ludwig, Westar's vice president of public affairs, said the company did not own the planes — or benefit from the tax exemption. Commissioners agreed to have their staff work toward recovering the $5.7 million. The county would make the claim for taxes with Westar, who could appeal to the Board of Tax Appeals. Ludwig said the company no longer condoned personal use of the aircraft but added that the tax exemption was based on the leasing company's use of the aircraft, not Westar's. Six-year highway debate ends with expansion of U.S.59 LAWRENCE — After six years of study and controversy, state and federal transportation officials have decided on a new route for U.S. 59 south of Lawrence. Nearly all the houses and outbuildings east of the highway must be removed to make way for the highway. Those relocations are expected to begin this fall. Secretary of Transportation Deb Miller said the expansion would make a dangerous highway considerably safer. On Friday, transportation officials released the chosen alignment of the expansion of the two-lane highway to a four-lane freeway extending 18 miles south of Lawrence to Ottawa. The project, which will move the highway about 300 feet to the east,will cost $214 million and force the removal of 36 homes. The expansion will reduce the number of access points to the highway from 185 to 16. Construction will begin in 2007. New DUI laws beginning July 1 get tough on drunken drivers ATCHISON — Kansans who drive drunk soon will feel the consequences of an Atchison couple's grief over their son's death. Beginning July 1, a new law will give state judges the authority to order cars in drunken driving cases immobilized or impounded for up to a year, even for a first offense — and even if the driver doesn't own the car. The law is the result of more than two years of work by Dennis and Linda Beaver of Atchison, who began campaigning for tougher laws after their 23-year-old son, Casey, died in a crash with a drunken driver. In Missouri, a state law lets Springfield authorities seize and sell cars from people caught driving with licenses that were suspended or revoked for drunken driving. Since 1993, when the law took effect, it has raised about $60,000 for schools. Under the new law, a driver seeking to recover a car after a yearlong stay in a Johnson County impound lot, for instance, could face a bill between $5,110 and $9,125, depending on which city seizes the vehicle. Lot owners can sell the cars to recover costs if owners do not pay the fee to get them released. The National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances offers a model law that calls for one- or two-month immobilizations of vehicles when someone convicted of drunken driving drives with a suspended or revoked license. NATION Missouri couple charged after 4-year-old son shoots himself INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — An Independence couple has been charged with endangering a child after their 4-year-old son shot himself in the neck, authorities said. The boy, Jeremy Knowles Jr., was in critical condition and on a ventilator Monday. The shooting occurred about 12:45 p.m. Sunday in an Independence hotel room. Jackson County prosecutors charged Jeremy Knowles Sr.,25, of Kansas City with endangering the welfare of a child. He was also charged with tampering with physical evidence for allegedly hiding the gun used in the shooting. His wife, Mollie Knowles, 27, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. They were being held Monday. According to court records, the couple was sleeping when Mollie Knowles said she was awakened by a gun shot and saw her son lying on the floor with a handgun beside him. She woke up her husband, and he drove them to a hospital. Jeremy Knowles Sr. dropped off his wife and son at the hospital and said he returned to the motel to care for their 6-year-old daughter. Knowles told police he gave the gun to a neighbor because he was scared. Police found the gun in the trash can of another hotel room. He told police he thought he had left the gun in his jacket pocket. Hemophiliacs suing Bayer Corp. for selling tainted medicine SAN FRANCISCO — Several hemophiliacs filed a lawsuit against Bayer Corp. and other companies, claiming they exposed patients to HIV and hepatitis C by selling medicine made with blood from sick, high-risk donors. The lawsuit alleged the companies continued distributing the blood-clotting product in Asia and Latin America in 1984 and 1985, even after they stopped selling it in the United States because of the known risk of HIV and hepatitis transmission. The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court, seeks class-action status on behalf of thousands of foreign hemophiliacs who received the product, said attorney Robert Nelson. The lawsuit was filed less than two weeks after an investigation by The New York Times accused the company of selling old stock of the medicine abroad, while marketing a newer, safer product in the United States. Bayer, based in Germany, declined to comment Tuesday, saying it had not yet received the relevant documents. Bayer told the Times it sold the old medicine because some customers doubted the effectiveness of a new version of the product, and because some countries were slow to approve its sale. While the company said it acted responsibly and in line with the best medical knowledge at the time, Bayer and three other companies that made the concentrate settled 15 years of U.S. lawsuits from people who took the drug, paying about $600 million,the newspaper said. As of 1992, the contaminated blood products had infected at least 5,000 hemophiliacs in Europe with HIV. More than 2,000 had already developed AIDS and 1,250 had died from the disease, the lawsuit said. In Latin America, at least 700 HIV cases are linked to use of contaminated blood products by hemophiliacs, the lawsuit said. El Paso student questions freedom of speech on campus DALLAS Time and again, Ruben Reyes asked the University of Texas at El Paso for permission to hold protests about environmental dangers,the administration and censorship. Reyes was turned down by officials who said the student union where the creative-writing student wanted to talk was not one of the two "free-speech zones" on the campus of 17,000 students. Reyes responded by joining a growing number of students around the country who have taken university officials to court, complaining that free speech is being stifled by institutions that in many cases promote themselves as pillars of democracy. Free-speech zones began appearing on campuses in the 1980s as a way to allow expression without interrupting learning. But in recent years, students and activists say that limiting speech to a few designated areas is unconstitutional because it effectively bans speech everywhere else. "What they have done is turn the First CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE WEDNESDAY, JUNE4, 2003 NEWS IN BRIEF THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 15 CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Amendment on its head," said Harvey Silverglate, a former Harvard law professor who co-founded the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. Instead of designating places where students can speak, schools should be designating only places where they cannot, Silverglate said. Some universities have agreed. Since November, West Virginia University has dropped its free speech zones after a legal challenge,and the University of Texas opened its entire Austin campus to demonstrations after a campus clash between abortion activists. Silverglate's group sued Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania this year over a diversity policy that warns against "unconscious attitudes toward individuals which surface through the use of discriminatory semantics" and conduct or "attitude" that "annoys" others. Reyes said administrators used intimidating tactics such as summoning campus police to supervise demonstrations and threatening administrative action against students who push the limits on speech. UTEP Dean of Students William Schafer did not return repeated requests for comment. He told the El Paso Times in March that the university supported "the free exchange of information and expression." lowa students arrested while protesting Phelps DES MOINES, Iowa — Four people were arrested during an anti-homosexual protest at a high school graduation where a gay student was given a scholarship. They were accused of throwing cream pies Saturday at the followers of a Kansas-based anti-gay pastor. The members of the Rev. Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, demonstrated at Des Moines Lincoln High School's graduation at Veterans Memorial Auditorium. The church members were protesting because senior class president Julius Carter was awarded a college scholarship in honor of Matthew Shepard, the gay Wyoming college student who was tortured and killed in 1998. The First Friday Breakfast Club, an Iowa association of gay men, conducted a counterprotest. Police Maj. Russell Underwood said officers were on hand for both groups' safety. Shortly before the graduation began, four people dressed in black approached Phelps' group and threw pies at them. Police charged Timothy Bossenberg, 22, no address available; Sean Glynn, 20, of Des Moines; Sean Chilcoat, 19, of Des Moines; and Lacey Hanson, 19, of Altoona, with disorderly conduct. Black classical ballet legend Janet Collins dies at age of 86 FORT WORTH, Texas — Janet Collins, the first black prima ballerina to appear at the Metropolitan Opera and one of a few black women to become prominent in American classical ballet, died May 28. She was 86. In 1951, Collins performed lead roles in Aida and Carmen, and danced in La Gioconda and Samson and Delilah at the Met in New York City. That was four years before Marian Anderson made her historic debut as the first black to sing a principal role at the Met. In a 2000 interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Collins recalled she was not allowed to tour with the company during the offseason because she could not perform onstage with white dancers in the South. Collins left the Met in 1954. During the 1950s, she toured with her own dance group throughout the United States and Canada and taught. Collins also danced in films, including the 1943 musical Stormy Weather and 1946's The Thrill of Brazil. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 1974 paid homage to Collins and Pearl Primus as pioneering black women in dance. WORLD Heat wave in India claims 160, raising death toll to nearly 800 HYDERABAD, India - Sunstroke and dehydration claimed another 160 lives in a southern Indian state, raising the death toll from a two-week heat wave to nearly 800, a relief official said. Temperatures rose as high as 118.2 degrees Fahrenheit and meteorologists promised no relief from the heat wave for another two days in Andhra Pradesh state, the state's chief relief official, D.C. Roshaiah, said Saturday. Hundreds of people were treated for dehydration and sunstroke, complaining of high fevers and vomiting at hospitals in 20 of 23 districts, Roshiaiah said. A total of 795 people have died in the heat wave so far, he said. Last year, a heat wave reached 122 degrees and killed more than 1,000 people in the state, most of them elderly. World Health Organization worried about Toronto SARS TORONTO — Increasing SARS cases in Canada's largest city is worrying the World Health Organization, which discussed the possibility of re-imposing a travel advisory on Toronto, a representative said Tuesday. Health officials have reported 62 proba MED CENTER University fires professor for espionage involvement The Associated Press LAWRENCE — A researcher involved in a conspiracy to steal research materials on Alzheimer's disease from the Cleveland Clinic has been fired by the University of Kansas. Hiroaki Serizawa, an assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, pleaded guilty last week to making false statements to the FBI regarding the storage of the stolen genetic materials in the summer of 1999. "He's off the payroll at the end of June," University of Kansas Medical Center spokesman Dennis McCulloch said. Serizawa was sentenced to three years probation, 150 hours of community service and a $500 fine. He pleaded guilty last year to avoid economic espionage charges. Serizawa admitted that he lied to FBI agents in Sept. 1999 about having recent contact with Takashi Okamoto, who was a researcher at the Cleveland Clinic at the time, and about the number of vials of genetic material he was storing at his lab for Okamoto. The government alleges that Okamoto removed research samples from the clinic, brought them to Serizawa's lab for storage, and left several hundred vials full of tap water in their place. Okamoto is charged with conspiracy, economic espionage and interstate shipment of stolen property. The Justice Department intends to seek his extradition from Japan. Serizawa has been under "increased supervision" since 2001 and spends little time on campus, McCulloch said. the time on camp he goes," he said. "He's basically doing little more than coming in and picking up his mail." McCulloch said Serizawa has completed a research project since he was notified of his dismissal earlier this year. "We have to emphasize there is no violation of research going on on this campus," McCulloch said. "There is no loss of integrity of our research. This was a personal situation between Mr. Serizawa and the other research in Cleveland. It has not and will not impact anything here." On their Web site, Zapol and Laird say the case is an "unprecedented assault" on the free exchange of ideas and research materials by scientists. David Zapol and Diana Laird, two professors at Stanford University, are seeking a pardon for Serizawa as well as raising funds to help the researcher pay his legal bills. ble cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome in a new cluster of cases that became known after the initial outbreak in March and April was believed under control. The second cluster of SARS cases landed Toronto back on a WHO list of SARS-affected cities or regions. The U.N. agency previously issued a travel advisory for Toronto, but rescinded it a week later after Canadian officials complained it was unwarranted and promised better screening of international travelers for SARS. The biggest outbreak of SARS outside of Asia has killed 32 people in the Toronto area, including a 60-year-old man who died May 20 and had his case reported Monday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reinstated a travel alert for Toronto, informing travelers of a health concern there. A new WHO travel advisory would devastate the city already reeling from the SARS outbreak, which has overwhelmed the health care system and hurt the vital convention and tourism industry. U.S soldier killed on patrol in central Iraq near Balad BAGHDAD, Iraq一A U.S. soldier was shot and killed while on patrol in central Iraq early Tuesday, a military spokesman said. The shooting took place near the town of Balad, 55 miles north of the capital, said Maj. William Thurmond, a spokesman for the U.S. Army's V Corps. Thurmond said he had no further details on the incident and that the soldier's name was being withheld pending notification of the family. The area around Balad is under control of the 4th Infantry Division. There has been a series of hit-and-run attacks on U.S. troops across the central region of the country since the end of ground combat almost two months ago. Several dozen soldiers have been killed or wounded.

The Environmental Protection Agency launched a program in May to increase public awareness of the possible dangers of vermiculite attic insulation. According to the EPA, vermiculite attic insulation could contain small traces of asbestos. Lung cancer is a side effect of asbestos inhalation. "People who have homes with vermiculite attic insulation should become informed, not alarmed," said Stephen L. Johnson, the EPA's assistant administrator for the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances. The EPA released the following recommendations to decrease the risk of exposure to asbestos in vermiculite insulation: Do not disturb vermiculite attic insulation. Disturbance of fibers could release asbestos into the air. Limit the number of trips and activity in attic areas where vermiculite insulation is present. Do not store boxes and other items in attics if retrieving them would disturb insulation. Children should not play in attics with open exposure to vermiculite. Do not move or remove vermiculite insulation. If removal is necessary call a certified professional to safely remove the insulation. Gary Marsh, owner of Marsh Insulation Service, 1706 E.800 Road, said vermiculite is not very common but may be in older homes. Marsh warned that even fiberbased insulations can be dangerous. "The only safe insulation is cellulose," he said. "It is made with 100 percent boric acid, which is one-sixth as dangerous as ordinary table salt." During renovations of the sixth floor of Dyche Hall, workers discovered vermiculite insulation in the walls. Marsh said he has rarely run into vermiculite but has insulated over it. Construction workers contacted the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and had the vermiculite tested, but the tests came back negative, said Johnell Fendley. Asbestos and Lead program manager at the University. According to the EPA, there are few dependable techniques to test vermiculite insulation for asbestos. Home testing is impractical, and it is safest to assume the insulation could contain asbestos. "It is easier to discover than to deal with vermiculite," Marsh said. Vermiculite is a pour-in product composed of glittery granular pebbles. Vermiculite can be gold, silver and pink in color but may turn black with dust collection in older homes. Landlords must comply with the requirement of all applicable building and housing codes affecting health and safety, according to the Kansas Landlord Tenant Act. - Edited by Richard Gintowt Cuenca CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 that, "Crow accepted the facts that I alleged, then colored all those facts in the light most favorable to the defense." The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver will handle Cuenca's appeal. Cuenca was hired at the University August 16, 1994, as an assistant professor of visual communications. He was employed as a tenure-track professor and was expected to teach two to three courses a semester. Throughout the next few years, Cuenca received performance evaluations ranging from "good" to "poor to adequate." In Dec. 1999, the school's committee on promotion and tenure notified Cuenca that they had "voted overwhelmingly to deny" his tenure. During the following spring semester, Cuenca missed 31 percent of his classes in one course and 37.5 percent of his classes in another course. On March 26, 2000, the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure notified Cuenca by letter that the 2000- 2001 school year would be his last as a journalism professor. — Edited by Richard Gintowt Course conflicts?

SPORTS 17 WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003 EMPLOYMENT NO SMOKING Robinson budget, hours decreasing An empty lifeguard's chair sits in the natatorium at Robinson Gym. University cutbacks scheduled for June 7th have student employees fearing for their jobs. "It's very sneaky the way they're doing it ... Everyone should call the provost and complain," Amber Jones, Joplin, Mo., senior and student worker, said. Zach Straus/Kansar By Saju Ng alla sngalla@ku.edu Kansan staff writer Allan Potts, Overland Park senior, fears he will not have money to pay for surgery on his shoulder if he loses his job at Robinson Center. He, along with other part-time student employees, worry their jobs may be in jeopardy. Robinson is scheduled to be open for only 11 days in June and July. The budget for Robinson will be depleted by June 7. The full-time staff at Robinson would not be affected because they were paid by the department of health, sport and exercise science, said Jerry Phillips, facility director at Robinson. Student campus fees financed Robinson's recreational services in the past. This money, however, has been set aside to finance the new center, which will replace Robinson as the main workout facility in the fall. Amber Jones, Joplin, Mo., senior, wonders if she will have job when she returns from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va. She leaves in four weeks and will return a week before the fall semester starts. "Whenever I ask questions management says they don't know," Jones said. "I don't think anybody really knows what is going on." Recreation Services will have to foot the bill to keep Robinson open until the new center is opened. Phillips said he would be happy to tell the students what was going on if he knew. "At this point no money has been committed to me," he said. "If I don't have money to pay them I can't work them." Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services, said it was unfortunate that student workers were caught in the middle. Her department has calculated how best to effectively and efficiently use student money to everyone's advantage, she said. After June 7, Recreation Services will be open every Tuesday and Thursday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. This will include the pool, gym and basketball facilities. Phillips said this would not be enough and he may have to layoff some of his student employees if he was unable to get the money to keep the gym open for more days and longer hours. "You need to understand that my department is more or less like a tenant," Chappell said. "We pay the Robinson Center to use their facilities so as far as I am concerned we have already done our part." Phillips said if he had to,he would manage with just his full-time employees. If he could get the money he needed, Phillips said he would have to take drastic action. "I will have no choice but to make it an academic building only and there will be no recreational services," Phillips said. "That is not fair," said Kara Kappelmann, Augusta junior. Kappelmann said she needed this job and would be lose money if she lost it. Jobs are hard to find right now in Lawrence, she said, and it is not right that she is kept in the dark about Robinson's future. Phillips questioned where that money would come from. Until that question was answered, uncertainty would continue to plague the facility, he said. "Recreation Services and myself are working very hard to make everything beneficial to everyone," Phillips said. - Edited by Richard Gintowt BASKETBALL New replaces old for women's fall basketball season By Saju Ng'alla sngalla@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Kansas women's basketball team signed four new players just as three players announced their intentions to transfer. For two of the players, Keila Beachem, Chicago junior, and Ebony Haliburton, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, decreased playing time influenced their decision to leave. Coach Marian Washington said she could not guarantee those two players the playing time they wanted. As for Brandi McGinest, Long Beach, Calif., sophomore, Washington would only say her reason for leaving was a personal matter. "In all my years of coaching I cannot recall that many players leaving," Washington said. "If people feel they are not getting enough playing time, they have the opportunity to choose whether they want to leave or stay. And I see nothing wrong with that." Beachem, 6-0 forward, averaged 2.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in her two seasons with the University after transferring to Kansas from Angelina Junior College.She started in nine games and led in rebounds twice Haliburton, 5-11 forward, played in 10 games last season and averaged 3.4 minutes per game. The former McDonald's High School All-American candidate McGinest, 5-11 guard/forward, played for the Jayhawks for two years. She averaged 1.6 points and 0.6 rebounds per game during 13 games last season. averaged 0.7 and 0.3 rebounds per game last year. In a media release, Washington said she enjoyed working with all three players and appreciated everything they had done for the program. "Keila, Brandi and Ebony each made a decision, which was best for their personal interest, and we certainly wish them the very best," Washington said. The Kansas signing class now stands at six with the signing of four players last week. Coach Washington said she thought the team had taken a strong step in establishing a proud women's basketball tradition at Kansas with the signing. This year's fall players are Kandis Bonner, Wabash Valley College; Kaylee Brown, Northern Oklahoma College at Enid; Syretta Coleman, Los Angeles Valley Community College, and LaRisha Graves, Southwest Tennessee Community College. "All four of these players are highly talented individuals and will impact our team at every position," Washington said. - Edited by Amy Kelly 18 = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS WEDNESDAY, JUNE4, 2003 www.pipelineproductions.com TUESDAY JUNE 10TH WITH PIMPADELIC ALL AGES COP MONDAY, JUNE 16TH BUZZCOCKS ALL AGES SHOW BOTTLENECK WITH BILLY TALMENT AND KILL HANNNAH ON SALE NOW EELS SATURDAY, JULY 19TH THE BOTTLENECK THE ROAD MUSEUM, 245 WEST 17TH ST.

Collison, coach to meet again "I'm excited for Nick," Williams said. "I know he has loved his association with USA basketball in the past." Collison has played on eight USA basketball squads. "His loyalty to USA basketball and his successful play has earned him this opportunity," said Williams, who is one of the assistant coaches for the USA squad. Former Kansas coach Larry Brown will coach the USA team. His other assistants will be San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich and recently hired Clemson University head coach, Oliver Purnell. Nick Collison said it was a great honor for him as a college athlete to play and practice with the best players in the NBA. Collison was an alternate on the 2002 USA World Championship Team. He was also part of the 2000 USA Basketball Select Team that practiced against the USA. "I personally will enjoy working with him again," Williams said. — Saju Ng'alla Marian Washington receives Lifetime Achievement Award Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington will be one of three coaches to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Black Coaches Association this year. Washington Washington, who is 551-347 in 30 seasons as the Jayhawks' coach, has said she will return for her 31st year at Kansas next season. "This is a wonderful honor and it will be a very exciting and emotional evening," Washington said. "I am thankful for the support and encouragement of my family and friends, those who have worked with me, the many great players I have been privileged to coach and, of course, the University of Kansas." Washington has won seven conference titles and six conference tournaments at Kansas, and has twice been the Black Coaches Association's coach of the year. But her teams have struggled the past three seasons, finishing below.500 each year and winning only eight of 48 Big 12 Conference games. Former Winston-Salem State coach Clarence "Big House" Gaines and former Grambling football coach Eddie Robinson will also receive the award at a ceremony Saturday. The Associated Press TRACK 'Hawks advance to nationals Eleven is the largest number of national competitors that Kansas coach Stanley Redwine has taken to the championships in his three years at Kansas. Eleven Jayhawks advanced to the 2003 NCAA Track and Field Championships based on their performances in the Midwest Regional Championships, held Friday and Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. The top five finishers in each individual event and the top three relay teams per event automatically advanced to the championships. Ten of the 11 athletes qualified on the final day of competition Only senior Mark Menefee qualified on Friday. The Kansas men had four qualifiers. Menefee qualified Friday by placing third in the 5000m run. Jeremy Mims, sophomore, finished second in the 800m, the fourth best finish in Kansas history. Benaud Shirley, senior, finished fifth in the triple jump. Leo Bookman, junior, placed third in the 200m. "I'm happy because I have an opportunity to win again," said Bookman, who won the indoor competition in February. "I had a good indoor season, and now I have a chance to redeem my outdoor." Seven women qualified for the championships. Laura Lavoie, junior, finished fourth in the 1500m. Abby Emsick, freshman, finished second in the discus. Emsick's throw was a school record and qualified her for the 2003 USA Outdoor Championships and the 2004 Olympic trials. Sondra Rauterkus, sophomore, took third in the high jump and tied the third-best mark in outdoor school history. The women's 4x400m team — Robbie Harriford, senior; Stacy Keller, junior; Shameika McField, senior, and Kim Clark, sophomore — clocked a school-record time of 3:34.81 to place third overall and earned the trip to nationals. The championships will be held June 11-14 in Sacramento, Calif. — Kevin Wiggs WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 19 Jayhawks unsuccessful in Big 12 tourney By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansas staff writer It took 11 innings to eliminate the Kansas baseball team from its first-ever Big 12 Tournament experience. The game against the rival Missouri Tigers came down to the last batter in the bottom of the 11th inning. The Jayhawks (35-28) trailed by a run with men on second and third and two outs to their credit. Senior catcher Sean Flynn sailed a fly to center field, ending the potential upset with a 4-3 Tiger victory. Missouri 4, Kansas 3 The May 22 game against Missouri in the loser's bracket was close through the gamut. Missouri's 1-0 lead lasted two innings before Kansas put up two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth, taking a 3-1 lead. The Tigers clawed back with one run in the seventh inning and one in the eighth, tying the game and forcing extra innings. In the top of the 11th, Missouri shortstop Ian Kinsler reached base on a fielding error by Metcalf. Kinsler moved to second on a balk. Johnson doubled into right field, scoring Kinsler and giving Missouri a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the 11th. The error that put Kinsler on base was the only error during the game. Starting off the inning, Wheeler singled and Tribble bunted him to second. Spanish walked and Brandon Shepherd then came in to pinch run for Wheeler. Travis Metcalf struck out swinging with just one out left. A wild pitch advanced both runners, and with runners on second and third, Flynn flied out. Missouri pitcher Andy Shipman (9-2) claimed the victory, while Knippschild (8-5) was credited with the loss. Ryan Baty set the Kansas single-season record for hits with his 97th of the year, a single to center field in the bottom of the eighth. Nebraska 9, Kansas 4 Freshman second baseman Matt Baty singled with one out, and freshman shortstop Ritchie Price struck out swinging. Junior first baseman Ryan Baty walked with two outs, bringing senior pitcher Kevin Wheeler to bat. Wheeler singled, scoring Matt Baty and advancing Ryan Baty to second base. huskers, the No.1 seed in the Big 12 Tournament. Nebraska sprung for five runs in the first three innings, scoring three times in the second inning. The Jayhawks were off to a grim start in their first-round game against the Corn- Senior left fielder Casey Spanish homered down the right field line in the top of the fourth, bumping the score to 5-1 into the fifth inning. Junior right fielder Matt Tribble stepped up and singled to center field, scoring Ryan Baty. Nebraska ace Aaron Marsden then threw a wild pitch, moving Wheeler to third and Tribble to second. Spanish then walked to load the bases for Travis Metcalf. The sophomore third baseman grounded to Nebraska shortstop Joe Simokaitis, who threw out Spanish at second to end the inning. Nebraska led 5-3. Nebraska exploded with three runs in the sixth inning, going on to win the game 9-4. Wheeler was shelled for 14 hits and eight earned runs in five innings. He was replaced by junior Ryan Knippschild after failing to tally any outs in the sixth inning. Knippschild allowed one run in the remaining three innings. Wheeler's record moved to 6-6 on the season. For Nebraska, Marsden struck out six and allowed four earned runs in eight innings. His record is now 8-2. Though the team probably won't be making history in the NCAA Tournament this year, Kansas accomplished its preseason goal of 35 victories. This year marked Kansas' first appearance in the Big 12 Tournament, which accepts the top eight teams of the ten-team baseball league for the tournament. Neither Colorado nor Iowa State have baseball teams. — Edited by Lindsay Hanson Brown introduced as Pistons coach The Associated Press AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Detroit hired Hall of Famer Larry Brown to make a good team better. Brown was introduced as the Pistons' coach Monday, two days after Rick Carlisle was fired and one year after Carlisle was the NBA's Coach of the Year. Brown, 62, inherits a 50-win team that has a talented, young nucleus and holds the No.2 pick in the June 26 draft. "He is the pre-eminent coach in the league to me," said Joe Dumars, team president of basketball operations. Brown, who resigned as 76ers coach on May 26 after six seasons, will be paid $25 million over five years, according to a source within the NBA who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Brown was released from a contractual clause that prohibited him from coaching another NBA team if he left Philadelphia prematurely. "This is a team I admired from afar," Brown said Monday. "I promise you this: Every time we step out on the court, we'll represent this franchise the way it's supposed to be represented," he said. "You won't be embarrassed by the effort." Dumars first contacted Brown's agent Joe Glass on Friday night, and the deal was done by Saturday around 6 p.m. Carlisle was fired Saturday after leading Detroit to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1991. He was fired with one year and $2 million left on his contract despite winning two straight division titles and 100 regular-season games. He said Monday that he plans to pursue coaching jobs this week during the NBA's predraft camp. "I'm going to talk to two teams in Chicago about potential opportunities, and I'm excited about that," Carlisle said less than an hour before Brown was announced as his successor. Brown also coached Denver (five years) Indiana (four years), San Antonio (3 1/2 years), New Jersey (two years), Carolina of the ABA (two years) and the Los Angeles Clippers (18 months). Brown had two years left in his contract that paid him $6 million per season in Philadelphia. "We want to be successful for every year for a long, long time," Brown said. "Every year, come playoff time, we want to have an honest chance to win a championship." Brown's tenure with the Sixers was the longest in his 31-year coaching career. He led the Sixers to the playoffs for five straight seasons, including the 2001 NBA Finals, and will coach the U.S. men's team this summer at an Olympic qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico. He has an 879-685 record in the NBA, and is 1,285-853 overall, including ABA and college. Brown won an NCAA championship with Kansas in 1988, and became the first coach to take six NBA teams to the playoffs when the Sixers made it in 1999. Detroit, with the second pick in the draft, likely will select a scorer — Darko Milicic of Serbia and Montenegro or Syracuse's Carmelo Anthony — to complement a young nucleus of Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Mehmet Okur and Tayshaun Prince. Carlisle, in his first head coaching job, helped turn Detroit from a lottery team into one of the top teams in the East. He was voted the top coach for the 2001-02 season. He led the Pistons to a 100-64 regularseason record and a 12-15 postseason mark over two years. Their season ended May 24 when they were swept by New Jersey in the conference finals. Texas A&M sued by parents of dead football player The lawsuit, filed May 19 in Brazos County, seeks unspecified damages for Charles and Valerie Fails and states that Fails' physicians and trainers were negligent in identifying the clot that formed after the surgery and eventually lead to his death. By Justin Smith The Battalion via U-Wire Texas A&M University University spokeswoman Cynthia Lawson said A&M did not comment on pending lawsuits. Fails, an 18-year-old 6-foot-3-inch, 275-pound lineman from Euless, Texas, injured his right knee in football practice on Oct. 15, and later underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair his knee. COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A lawsuit has been filed against Texas A&M by the family of Brandon Fails, the A&M football player who died last November from complications of a blood clot after a knee surgery. On the morning of Nov. 25, Fails said he was having difficulty breathing and collapsed in his Cain Hall dorm room. He was pronounced dead at St. Joseph Regional Health Center later that day. 20 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2003 WHAT'S HAPPENING GRAYSTONE Apartments that fit your lifestyle - Designed with the KU Student in Mind.

MEAT MARKET: Market competes on Mass CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 space for a sports bar in Lawrence," said Davis, who added that he would not disrupt the original construction on the front of the restaurant. "We're part of this building," he said. "It's just one of the classic buildings in Lawrence." The interior holds an abundance of eye candy for customers, who will find anything from kitschy old photos of a woman doing calisthenic exercises, to A Mighty Wind star Fred Willard's golf glove. Davis and Sprengelmeyer wanted to gear Meat Market's food to a college town that thrives on its pizza, burger and hot wings businesses. The menu is prone to making customers chuckle while their mouths water. Hamburgers are $3.99, but the more toppings you add, the less it costs. Placed beside this pricing oddity, RibMan appears to be working out the mathematical reason behind a cheeseburger costing less than a hamburger. The superhero's creator admits the brawny character does not have the mightiest brain in the galaxy. "He has a few mental issues he's trying to work through," Sprengelmeyer said. The prices are low for someone on a tight budget, unless you order the vegetable of the day, which runs $24.97. Yes, health nuts pay mightily at Meat Market the desserts stray far from the run-of-the- mill cheesecake. The owners want customers to indulge themselves in rarer delicacies like Fried Twinkies or the plate-sized, innuendo-seeped chocolate "Bite-Me Bar." Free State Brewery manager Chuck Magerl does not feel threatened by the novelty of Meat Market despite its relatively close location to his own establishment. "Anytime there are new restaurants they have an impact," Magerl said. "We've been in business for enough years that we our known for our continuity, service and quality." The Playmates used in the comic strip actually were the reason Meat Market got its name. In one strip, a group of girls ask Captain RibMan to open up a meat market in town, but the superhero had ribs on the mind when he came through with the request. "He was a bit off the mark," Davis said. "It still worked out, but Lawrence could have had a really excising dance club." Davis said customers could expect little surprises now and then like a Playboy Playmate sitting at the next table. "It really probably wouldn't be unusual before too many months go by that some of our celebrities we've worked with will fly in and spend some time here, too," Davis said. — Edited by Ehren Meditz INSIDE LEGALWOES The University filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by KU junior Heather Fuqua ...page 3 MISS KANSAS COMPETITION KU student Angelea Busby wins the Miss Kansas pageant and prepares for the Miss America competition page4 MISS BETTY JACKSON ELLSWORTH CONSTRUCTION Ellsworth Hall's renovations are ahead of schedule.

Perkins,previously employed at the University of Connecticut, will replace Drue Jennings,interim athletics director. By Saju Ng'alla sngalla@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Kansas yesterday. He said he planned to bring the winning "swagga" back to Kansas athletics. The former athletics director at the University of Connecticut said his top priority would be to restore stability at the Kansas Lew Perkins was announced as the new athletics director at the University of For more on the University of Kansas and the Athletics Director, see page 21 University Athletic Corporation. Yesterday Perkins met with athletics staff and laid out his goals and expectations. "If you don't think we can win, then you are the type of people I don't want around me." Perkins said. Perkins said he did not plan on making any major changes to the staff. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said Perkins was highly regarded in college athletics. Hemenway also said that Perkins was hired because of his support of women's athletics and his ability to help build champions. "All those qualities are valued at KU, so he stood out for me as an ideal candidate," Hemenway said. Street & Smith's Sport Business Jour- SEE DIRECTOR ON PAGE 20 BUSINESS New bar gambles on non-smoking rule By Amy Kelly akelly@kansan.com Kansan staff writer For those who enjoy sipping a martini as Old Blue Eyes croons in the distance, start spreading the news: The Bella Lounge has arrived. The bar at 925 Iowa exudes the essence of the 1960s Rat Pack, from the dim lighting to the photographs of Dean Martin. But one key prop of the cocktail kings is missing: the cigarette. The Bella Lounge is the only non-smoking establishment in Lawrence. Owner Rob Farhar — who also owns The Wheel, 14th and Ohio Streets — said that when he decided to take over the former Fifi's site, he had not planned on making it smoke-free. "When we were remodeling in February, people would come up on the street to me and ask, 'Have you even considered making a non-smoking place?' " Farha said. When community support increased Farha said he decided to take the chance The move seems to have paid off with the bar's patrons. "We love, love, love that it's non-smoking," said Lawrence resident Trish Simons, who was accompanied by her husband - a smoker. "I smoke, but I love it here," Tom Simons said. "I don't go home and have clothes full of smoke." Whether or not the younger crowd would feel the same remained to be seen, Farha said.

Thompson graduated in May with a bachelor's degree in business administration and communication studies. The University of Kansas class of 2000 established the Campanile Award to honor a senior who displayed remarkable leadership, strength of character and respect for the University. Thompson said someone nominated her, but she still didn't know who it was. Once she was nominated, Thompson had to write an essay and complete an interview with the senior class officers and advisory board. During her four years at the University, Thompson served as Student Senate assistant treasurer and was involved with Hawk Nights, the Center for Community Outreach and Alternative Breaks. She also volunteered at local elementary schools. Thompson said she planned to return to her home state and get her master's degree in business administration at the University of South Dakota in the fall.

The Associated Press percent of the residents live below the poverty level, free medical care is more than welcome. And in Wyandotte County, where 17 The county's six other clinics "had waiting lists for patients to get in," said Jennifer Scott Koontz, clinic organizer. "And they definitely do as much as they can, but there are still people who need care." Koontz, a third-year student at the Med Center, dove into the project after discussing the idea last September with one of her advisers. After getting about 100 responses to an e-mail asking fellow students for help, Koontz and her colleagues created the clinic.

WEDNESDAY,JUNE11,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COURT University moves to dismiss suit By Annie Bernethy aberneth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas filed a motion on May 27 to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Heather Fuqua, Olathe junior. The motion to dismiss said Fuqua's lawyer, James Stanley, served the wrong person, Chancellor Robert Hemenway. Fuqua filed a lawsuit on May 1 against the University, the Board of Regents and two entertainment companies for injuries she sustained during an on-campus activity. The Board of Regents also filed a response on May 27 denying the allegations. According to its response, Fuqua had an assumption of risk, the Regents had a lack of jurisdiction over her and she "failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted." Fuqua's suit claims she sustained serious permanent injuries including "disability, disfigurement and early onset of dementia" during a sumo wrestling activity May 6, 2001, at Ellsworth Hall. According to her suit, the University and the Board of Regents "negligently failed to exercise reasonable care and diligence" when selecting its contractors and suppliers for the activity. Although it filed a motion to dismiss, the University has not yet filed a formal response to the allegations. "It would be inappropriate for me to talk about anything in any way on the case at this time," said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. According to the suit, the entertainment companies Vinyard Entertainment Group and Kevmar Ventures Inc. "negligently supplied, furnished and equipped the sumo wrestling activity with dangerous, improper and unsafe equipment." Ryan Malkmus, attorney for Vinyard Entertainment Group, said the company was in no way using dangerous materials and was very careful in the operation of its business. Kevmar Ventures has not yet filed a response. Fuqua was flown by helicopter to the University of Kansas Medical Center facilities in Kansas City, Kan., after sustaining injuries from falling back onto the concrete and hitting her head during a sumo wrestling match. She was not wearing a helmet at the time. According to Stanley, Fuqua was hospitalized for almost two weeks with skull fractures. - Fuqua's suit asks each defendant to pay $75,000 in damages to compensate for her injuries, attorney fees and other costs associated with the lawsuit. Stanley said according to witnesses, operators of the activity attempted to place a helmet on Fuqua that did not fit and a man from Vinyard Entertainment, the group running the activity, told Fuqua she looked funny in the helmet and did not need to wear it. "In light of the injuries, I am surprised they continue to have these activities on campus," Stanley said. "This is a serious situation." After all defendants have filed formal responses, a trial date will be set. Edited by Amy Kelly WORLD Two Canadian men marry for first time since ruling TORONTO — Two Canadian men were married yesterday in the country's first same-sex wedding just hours after an Ontario appeals court ruled that Canada's ban on homosexual marriage was unconstitutional. The appeals panel declared the current legal definition of marriage invalid and ordered Toronto's city clerk to issue marriage licenses to the homosexual couples involved in the case. Shortly afterward, Michael Leshner and Michael Stark wed in a civil ceremony observed by Leshner's 90 year-old mother and about 50 friends and observers, most of them from the news media. "We're blissfully happy," said Leshner, a Toronto lawyer, after exchanging rings with his partner of 22 years and offering a champagne toast outside the courthouse. It was the latest in a series of court rulings against the federal ban, increasing pressure on Prime Minister Jean Chretien's government to change the law or let the ruling stand.

Busby will drive over 35,000 miles to fulfill her year of service as Miss Kansas 2003. She earned the crown Saturday after qualifying as Miss Cheney Lake, a preliminary pageant that took place last August. Cheney Lake is located 30 miles east of Wichita. Driving long distances is nothing new for the Lenexa senior, who drove nearly 3,000 miles to nine Kansas towns last year trying to qualify for the Miss Kansas pageant. This year, she qualified in her first attempt. "If you want to be Miss Kansas badly enough you'll do what it takes," Busby said. She will live in Pratt for the next year to "If you want to be Miss Kansas badly enough, you'll do what it takes."

Busby said she wanted to use her crown to raise awareness of depression, a disease that nearly killed one of her close family members. MISS UNION "No one wants to be the poster child for depression but if need be (my family) will," she said. Busby, a journalism major in strategic communications, will take a year off from school to devote herself to a busy public speaking schedule. She will return to school in 2004 with a $5,000 scholarship and wants to attend law school after graduation. Lisa Perez Miller, co-executive director of Miss Kansas, said Busby would speak to all grade levels on depression and drug and alcohol abuse. "It's a full-time job," Miller said. "She could be in four schools in one day." Busby will spend the next three months preparing for the Miss America pageant Sept. 20 in Atlantic City, N.I. "I've wanted to be Miss America ever since I can remember," Busby said. "I dressed up as Miss America at least three times for Halloween." Busby won the talent portion of the competition with a baton twirling routine set to Barbara Streisand's "Don't Rain On My Parade." She was also a finalist in the interview portion of the event. Miller said the judges of the Miss Kansas Pageant look for someone who is passionate, independent, flexible and a good role model. No first-time contestant had won the crown since 1980. - Edited by Kevin Wiggs WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN -5 RESIDENCE HALLS Ellsworth construction nearing completion 1. A study room with a large window on the left and a door on the right. The room is well-lit with natural light from the window. There are cabinets and shelves in the middle of the room, along with a sink and countertop. The floor is covered with a smooth, light-colored surface. A newly renovated room sits on the 10th floor of Ellsworth Hall. The residence hall, shut down for remodeling last year, is scheduled to reopen this fall. Zach Straus/Kansan By Brandon Baker bbaker@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Construction crews working ahead of schedule have Ellsworth Hall nearly completed. Murray and Sons Inc. has finished most of the10th floor, leaving minor construction on the remaining nine floors. A "Ellsworth has 40 percent more floor space than Lewis or Templin and we were concerned that it wouldn't be done on time," said Michelle Moore, complex director of the housing office administration. For now, those concerns were gone, Moore said. The interior design of Ellsworth Hall no longer appears as it did when Jimmy Ingraham, Lenexa senior, lived there in the fall of 1999 and spring of 2000. Ellsworth's doors will reopen Aug.17, 2003, after being closed since May 17, 2002, greeting a new batch of freshmen and returning students, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. "It was pretty filthy there," Ingraham said. "It needed to be remodeled a year before I got there." The new design cost of $12.5 million departed from the original design in mostly aesthetic ways, Stoner said. The cost is higher than the total project costs for the $5 million Templin Hall and $6.2 million Lewis Hall. In the old Ellsworth Hall, students shared two communal bathrooms on each floor. Ingraham said only two of the four showers on his floor worked. "It sucked pretty bad," Ingraham said of the living conditions in the residence hall. Most floors now offer eight suites, each with a private bath, and room for four students. Moore said the spacious rooms followed design recommendations from students living in other residence hall's suites. The bathroom and closet space did shrink,but the communal living space expands with counter tops,a sink,room for a microwave and a residence hall refrigerator Ellsworth has three types of rooms other than the suites: two-person rooms with a private bath, traditional two-person rooms with communal bathroom and two-person studios. The two-person studios are on the first and second floors "Ellsworth has 40 percent more floor space than Lewis or Templin and we were concerned that it wouldn't be done on time." Michelle Moore Ellsworth and Hashinger halls complex director below the main entrance of the residence hall. All rooms contain "loftable," or stackable, beds and furniture made of maple, a departure from traditional oak furniture in other residence halls at the University of Kansas, said Carol von Tersch, assistant director of housing maintenance. The walls of each room resound with hospital-clean white walls and vinyl floors. Freshmen could not occupy these larger studio apartments, Moore said. "There are no closet doors because we found them to be virtually impossible to maintain." von Tersch said. Floor-to-ceiling windows in each lobby above the fourth floor offer students a picturesque view of campus. Other design changes were not purely aesthetic. Message boards on each floor break up the 340-foot hallway, extending from the east corridor through the lobby and into the west corridor. "We removed the fire doors to comply with fire codes." von Tersch said. The need for fire doors dissipated when a sprinkler system was added to the design plan. Other compliances with fire codes include additional outdoor exits from all external staircases. Along with housing for students Ellsworth will be the first residence hall with a faculty apartment and office in the building. The inception of the faculty in residence accompanies the new Experiencing Excellence in Ellsworth program or 3E. Moore said 3E focused on academics and increased student involvement on each floor. The University plans to remodel Hashinger Hall after the completion of Ellsworth.

It's not simply a battle of good vs. evil, but more a decision of what is right or wrong for you, the end user. The first question you must ask yourself is, "How much do I really want to monkey around with my computer?" If the answer is, "I don't want to monkey at all with constant operating system upgrades, patches and maintenance; I just want to use the dang thing!", then the computer for you, my friend, is an Apple Macintosh running OS X. Staci Wolfe and Tim Sears geekspeak@kansan.com Who enjoys getting nasty viruses that corrupt your documents, lock up your computer and threaten world peace? Anyone? Anyone? I didn't think so. If you're running the Macintosh OS you can breathe a sigh of relief because chances are you won't get infected with the latest Nimda-Melissa-Loving virus that's going around the Internet. There simply aren't enough Macs to infect to make it worthwhile writing a virus that targets them. It can also be argued that it's harder to write a virus to damage the Mac OS (I'm not throwing down the gauntlet or soliciting a challenge, so please don't get any funny ideas about writing a virus targeting Macs. I'm sure it can be done.). Since 1984, Apple has led the way in innovative, user-friendly computer design. With its latest operating system Mac OS X — and new desktop, laptop and server technology, Apple is looking to the future and thinking light years ahead of the PC dictators who seek to rule the world. Apple has merged the power of the Linux open-source architecture with a truly user-friendly interface. I have to admit, I am drawn to the stability and power of the Linux operating system. However, for the average 'point and click' user, the Mac OS is your best option, Bottom line: If you're running the Mac OS you aren't going to face the headaches that your PC friends have to deal with.

Simon and Garfunkel sang it, but the Lawrence Police Department means it. A newly created unit within the Lawrence Police Department began cracking down on the city's drivers late last November. The Traffic Safety Unit, headed by Sgt. Randy Roberts and including five other police officers, specializes in traffic violations. It does not respond to any calls or emergencies, other than traffic emergencies, said Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department. Lawrence Police implemented the new unit to place an emphasis on the enforcement of traffic laws. There has been plenty to enforce, according to statistics kept by the department. From the unit's creation to May 16, 2003, the unit issued 579 speeding tickets and 211 DUIs. Before the unit was created, Lawrence Police issued 500 DUIs from October 2001 to October 2002, according to the department's Web site. The number of speeding tickets for all of 2002 could not be tabulated because the new unit is the first to keep records of all the offenses, Pattrick said. He said he wanted the new unit to make an impact, but he thought it was too early to tell. The new unit wasn't developed because of problems with traffic enforcement, but merely because of an opportunity to get the grant, Pattrick said. The money to fund this unit came from a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation. It gives the city more than $1.7 million over the next three years to pay for expenses associated with the new unit, including the salaries of the officers. The city is also responsible for almost $450,000 in additional funding to pay for the unit. Students like Anna Holcombe, Lawrence senior, understand the consequences of speeding. She received a $235 speeding ticket last December. "I had to work a week to make that," she said. Although she paid a small fortune for speeding, Holcombe said she really hadn't noticed the increased patrolling.

Source: Lawrence City Commission The Lawrence City Commission approved a motion June 3 for traffic calming devices to be installed throughout University Place, which is roughly bordered by campus on one side and 19th Street on the other. The University has come up with a temporary solution if the traffic problem on Naismith Drive grows — installing a fourway stop at Naismith and Allen Fieldhouse drives. Donovan Atkinson/Kansan The traffic calming devices include a permanent roundabout, a pedestrian refuge island, temporary traffic calming circles and partial traffic diverters. University Place residents began planning their proposal in 1999. John Mullens, assistant director of KU Public Safety, said the diverter at 18th and Missouri streets would force 1,000 cars to turn left onto Naismith Drive daily to get to 19th Street. Naismith Drive already has traffic problems, with around 14,000 cars traveling there every day, he said. "We'll conduct a traffic study in the fall when everybody gets back to find alternate solutions," Mullens said. Mullens said he was also concerned about how the changes would affect traffic around the Student Recreation Fitness Center, scheduled to open September 4. Leslie Tuttle, a member of University Place Neighborhood Association, said the recreation center concerned residents because of the traffic increase it will likely bring. Tuttle said traffic in her neighborhood was predictable, peaking around 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The recreation center could extend the traffic to all day, she said Mullens said there was also a concern "Large trucks can't make the turn from Sunnyside Avenue onto Sunflower Drive," he said. "It's almost a U-turn." Delivery trucks need to use Sunflower Drive in the winter to make deliveries to the University's Facilities Operations, he said. that the roundabout at 17th and Indiana streets would impede truck traffic on what was now a legal delivery route. "If they can't make those deliveries, we can't heat the buildings," Mullens said. Tuttle said the motivation behind installing the calming devices was not to keep cars out of the neighborhood, but to make certain drivers obey the speed limit. The traffic calming program also includes improved lighting and additional sidewalks that will benefit people who walk, bicycle or drive through University Place, said James Long, vice provost of facilities planning and management. David Woosley, Lawrence's traffic engineer, said the temporary calming circles and partial diverters would be installed by the end of June. The permanent roundabout would cost the city about $70,000 and would be constructed after the city commission allocates funds. All the devices should be in place by the end of the summer. Residents could file a request for the temporary devices to be made permanent if they work, Tuttle said. "If they don't work,it's back to the drawing board,"she said. --- - Edited Kevin Wiggs WEDNESDAY, JUNE11,2003 NEWS D8 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 9 POLITICS KU could host 2004 presidential debate University among 14 sites considered for prestigious honor By Ehren Meditz emeditz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A movement to bring a presidential debate to Lawrence — and to the University of Kansas — could bear fruit later this year. Two members of the Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonprofit organization that sponsors and produces presidential debates, visited with community and University leaders on June 2 and viewed the Lied Center and Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Clenece Hills, chairwoman of the Lawrence Presidential Debate Committee, said the commission could schedule another visit, but that more information was scarce. "We don't have a whole lot of feedback," Hills said. "They play it pretty close to the vest." The University is one of 14 potential sites that stretch from Arizona to New York. Applicants must fulfill a list of stringent criteria by providing both a debate hall and a press hall of adequate size with suitable office equipment for political consultants and journalists. In addition, the city must raise $750,000 for the debate's production costs, which could be raised through private donations, Hills said. The commission plans to announce its final decision in November. Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school and CPD advisory board member, said the meeting with the visitors was productive. "They were very impressed with the beauty of the campus and the quality of facilities we have," Carlin said. "The expertise and commitment also impressed them." Hills said the Horejsi Center may not be large enough to seat the expected 2,000 journalists, but a tent could be erected complete with the necessary electrical wiring, similar to those used by the Super Bowl press. "The result would be a higher level of knowledge about the presidential election process and involvement in it for the entire campus than any other mechanism would likely produce." David Shulenburger Provost Provost David Shulenburger said the event would be a wonderful educational experience for students. "The result would be a higher level of knowledge about the presidential election process and involvement in it for the entire campus than any other mechanism would likely produce," Shulenburger said. Curtis Sloan, KU law student and member of the Lawrence Presidential Debate Committee, presented the student perspective to the visitors during their meeting on June 2. He said that the debate would have a tremendous effect on students. "Not only would they benefit from the increased attention paid to the University, but they would benefit from the programming surrounding the debates," Sloan said. That year marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of Lawrence and the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Topeka Board of Education decision that provided a legal basis for school desegregation. Such potential activities could include teach-ins, lectures and conferences as well as guest speaking engagements by campaign staffers, journalists and pundits, he said. The 2004 debate would occur at an important historical time for both Lawrence and Kansas, Carlin said. Sloan said he was encouraged by the visit and the committee was devoted to doing all it could to bring the debate to campus. "I think the commission was looking for commitment and flexibility from us, and they found it," Sloan said. — Edited by Richard Gintowt Try the Iced Grasshopper!

For the second summer in a row, the Spencer Museum of Art is holding art appreciation classes for elementary and junior high school children. The classes, which run every Saturday through July 26, combine art study with hands-on activities. Each week, art students will investigate and discuss selected artwork from the art museum's collection and create art of their own based on the techniques, media and traditions they see, said Kristina Mitchell, educational coordinator for the museum. Karen Gerety, graduate student in art museum education, is an intern for the summer program. "Art is a way for me to express myself in some form," she said. "Kids will get a greater knowledge of the history of art and the world from this program and be able to express themselves too." Since elementary school, Gerety has had a passion for art, museums, and teaching. She decided to get her graduate degree in art museum education because it combined her loves. Larry Peeno, deputy executive director of the National Art Education Association, said the arts were for children of all ages. "They also allow a person to look at a large body of knowledge and synthesize that," he said. Peeno was a secondary school art teacher for 20 years. He said children came to school with a mental makeup that resembled art, music and physical education activities more than reading, writing and mathematics. "Arts allow for new ways of doing things. If they think like an artist, they're better off in all activities," he said.

"He wants to promote knowledge of current interest, not historic stuff," said Alisa Lange, director of special events for the Med Center. The Med Center hosted the first annual Colonel Wallace Weber Lectureship on Military and Disaster Medicine on Friday. The series, sponsored by Weber, gives experts in the military and medical field a chance to speak about military and worldwide threat issues. Weber, who graduated from the KU School of Medicine in 1969, said there was no better place to hold the series than his alma mater. "There's a time for learning; a time for earning and a time for giving back," he Weber's lecture addressed the six major bioterrorism agents most likely to be used in a terrorist attack, including anthrax, smallpox and the plague. said. "Medicine has been good to me and it's payback time." Representatives from Lawrence Memorial Hospital did not attend. Belinda Rehmer, communications specialist at the hospital, said they had been planning for an emergency terrorist response long before Sept. 11. Weber's long-time colleague Col. Thomas Clements discussed federal and local response to smallpox. Weber spent 31 years in the military, including service in the first Gulf War where the threat of a terrorist attack loomed large. He is a director and dermatologist at Heartland Dermatology Center P.A. in Hays. "We're very up to date with what would be going on in the case of an attack," she said. - Edited by Amy Kelly 'Humble Enthusiasts' Saju Ng'alla/Kansan Gaming enthusiasts young and old enjoy a video game tournament at Holcomb Park Community Center. The tournament, held on Saturday, was staffed by members of the Lawrence-Douglas County Promise organization. RECREATION Students volunteer time; aid Lawrence community By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staffwriter As the summer rolls along in Lawrence, a few University of Kansas students are doing more than taking summer classes or slacking off. Students like Monaica Vineyard, Wichita senior, use the free time in the summer to volunteer to help the community. Vineyard and other KU students help out the Lawrence-Douglas County Promise, located in the United Way building, 2518 Ridge Court. The group brings volunteers together and matches their interests with a need in the community. "Volunteering gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling," said Vineyard, a project assistant and youth advisor with Promise. "And then it gets addictive," Vineyard said. The Lawrence-Douglas County Promise is a chapter of America's Promise, which was founded after the Presidents' Summit for America's Future, April 27 to 28,1997, in Philadelphia. Tomorrow the Lawrence-Douglas County Promise will be supplying volunteers to the Big Pig Roast, an annual fundraising event held by the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence. The Roast is an all-you-can-eat barbecue held on the lawn of Meadowbrook Volunteers are still needed and will gain free entry for working a two-hour shift. Apartments near 15th Street and Crestline Drive. The barbecue will be from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. and costs $20 to enter. The Lawrence-Douglas County Promise sent volunteers, including Vineyard, to a video game tournament hosted by Nathan Loukeges, an employee of the Yellow House, 1904 Massachusetts St. The tournament, held on Saturday, had children and adults, ages 6 to 26, playing Super Smash Bros. Melee to win a Nintendo GameCube. "Next year I'll have to be more organized. It relies on the help of the volunteers and they've been great," Loukeges said. "But even if it's a mess, the kids still have fun." Although the kids are enjoying the event,some parents are not. "It's a living hell," said Erica Bessy, mother of two contestants. "If it was up to me we wouldn't have a TV, but I cut them some slack. I'd rather be at home having a beer." Despite the parents' misery, the tournament raised nearly $300 for Promise. Zach Parr, Topeka senior, won the tournament and entertained offers for the prize within minutes. — Edited by Amy Kelly ( ) WEDNESDAY, JUNE11, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN =11 BUSINESS KU grads build pro bono 'Humble Empire' PETER BAKER Zach Straus/Kansan Peter Heffner, St. Louis graduate, is the cofounder of Humble Empire, a graphic design studio "without a front door." Humble Empire is a group of recent college graduates who are offering their artistic talents to clients with little or no budgets. By Richard Gintowt rgintowt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In their last year as graphic design students at the University of Kansas, Peter Heffner and Matt Cassity worried that taking comfy corporate jobs would squelch their passion for design. A year later, Heffner and Cassity have those jobs, but their passion remains. It's just slightly misplaced. Heffner and Cassity are the ringleaders of Humble Empire, a collection of six KU graduates who do free work for bands and other clients with limited or zero budgets. "We work day jobs to facilitate what we do at night," Heffner said. "We wanted to be like Robin Hood; to rob from the rich and give to the poor." Cassity and Heffner created Humble Empire while working for The Arts Group, a design team based in the KU School of Fine Arts that works for University clients. They were inspired by Tiber Kalman, a successful designer who did pro bono work for bands like the Talking Heads. Unlike Robin Hood, the only commodity Humble Empire members rob is their own free time. Heffner said he had often worked 20 hours a week for Humble Empire on top of his 40 hours a week at Indicia Design in Kansas City, Mo. "When you have a design job you don't get to pick your clients," said Cassity, who works for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, Mass. "You need something to keep yourself sane after 5 o'clock." For Cassity, Humble Empire presents an opportunity to work with more creative clients. Heffner designs all of the flyers and album covers for Archer Avenue, a Lawrence-based record label that includes the bands Getaway Driver and Kelpie. He also designed and screenprinted 3-by-5 foot posters for Out of Focus: Local Film and Video Showcase that took place May 12. Jeff Ruggles, Out of Focus co-producer, said he was blown away by the posters, which were printed backwards on transparent plastic so that the text was truly out of focus. For more information about Humble Empire, visit www.humbleempire.com "I really wanted to pay him," Ruggles said. "It helped spark interest in the event." Humble Empire also includes Sam Spratlin and Kate E. Burke, KU graphic design graduates who work in Chicago. Lawrence filmmaker Matt Blume and Chicago writer Mark Hansen round out the Empire. All of the Humble Empire members contribute their talents to Kallide, a collaborative music and film project that gave its first performance in April at The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Heffner and Cassity said their first priority was designing for bands, but they wanted to work with writers in the near future. — Edited by Kevin Wiggs "We want people to think like us," Heffner said.

But renters might want to take a few simple steps to avoid their summer electric bill starving them, before they invest their savings in futons and Ramen noodles. High air conditioning usage caused electric bills to be at their highest in the hottest months of the year, said Karla Olsen, senior manager of media relations for Westar Energy. One of easiest ways to keep electric bills low was to replace filters for air conditioners every two or three months, said Loren Dolezal, director of plumbing at Westlake Ace Hardware, 711 W.23rd St. "Most people forget about the filters and let the air conditioner run all summer and wonder why there's not as much air coming out as when it was new." Dolezal said. Washable foam air filters for window units cost $1.49 at Westlake Ace Hardware. Filters for central air systems cost between $5 and 10, and reusable models are available for $25. Another technique to improve the efficiency of window units is to wash out the grill with a garden hose, said Dave Cobler, president of Ace Plumbing, Heating, Air and Appliance. This gets rid of leaves and cottonwood that force the unit to work harder, use more electricity and to cool less efficiently. Students often forgot that the simple things turning off air conditioning and appliances when not in use and using fans instead of air conditioning could save the most money, said Margaret Perkins-McGuinness, director of the Off-Campus Living Resource Center. McGuinness said students could also ask their utility companies if they offer payment plans to spread out the costs more evenly. Other techniques that can help keep a house cool include shading sunny windows and stuffing door cracks. - Edited by Saju Ng'alla Drowning in debt? HELP! HELP! We can save you.

By Jennifer Wellington The store started its liquidation process May 23 and is expected to close within the next few months, Lisa Erickson, Eddie Bauer representative, said. As part of the liquidation process, Eddie Bauer is currently offering 30 to 50 percent off all its merchandise. KU graduate Mary Lawhon said she was taking advantage of the store's liquidation sale. "I usually can't afford a lot of things in the store, but the discount's good so I thought I would take a look," she said. The Spiegel Group announced its plans to file for Chapter 11 and close its underperforming Eddie Bauer stores April 28. In addition to Eddie Bauer, Spiegel's businesses include Newport News and Spiegel Catalog. Chapter 11 gives U.S. companies an opportunity to negotiate with creditors, reorganize the company and emerge from bankruptcy. Erickson said the company had no plans to add any additional stores to the Chapter 11 proceedings at this time. Bill Kosturos, Spiegel's interim chief executive officer and chief restructuring officer, said in a press release, "The decision to close stores is never easy, yet we are confident that this move will result in a healthier, more productive store base for Eddie Bauer." Eddie Bauer's headquarters in Redmond, Wash., also reduced its work force by approximately 180 associates May 9. Lawrence's Eddie Bauer, which opened in 2000, is the only store in Kansas and Missouri going though liquidation proceedings. — Edited by Maggie Newcomer WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN =13 CONSTRUCTION Campus improvements ideal during summer By Ehren Meditz emeditz@kansan.com Kansan staff reporter Closed-off areas, dumpsters packed with garbage and bright orange construction signs greeted this year's summer class. Summer construction projects range from installing blue carpeting on the third floor of Watson Library, to updating the University of Kansas' tunnel and pipe systems for $2 million. Mike Miller, assistant director of facilities operations, said that he needed to consult a clipboard when recalling the large number of projects. "I've got so many, I don't even know without looking at it anymore," he said. "We're pretty loaded on the facilities side." Miller said he expected that between 20 and 25 projects would be completed during the summer semester. He added that many projects began the day after commencement on May 19. With the lower number of students on campus, reduced traffic and sunny weather, summer is the ideal time for campus construction and repairs, said Jim Long, vice provost of facilities planning and management. "It's a time at which we can cause the least amount of inconvenience to the members of the campus community," Long said. Miller said projects such as construction on the Malott Hall library stacks area and the sixth floor of Dyche Hall Summer construction projects range from installing blue carpeting on the third floor of Watson Library to updating the University of Kansas' tunnel and pipe systems for $2 million. that began in the spring should also be completed before the fall. Students can also look forward to remodeled classrooms in Wescoe, Blake, Flint and Snow Halls, as well as completion of changes at the bookstore in the Kansas Union. Despite its benefits, the construction creates an inconvenience for some students. Victor Vaca, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, sophomore, said last month's Watson Library construction was problematic. "It was weird; everything was weird," Vaca said. "So I left." However, as the construction nears completion, he approves of the changes. "The carpet is nice. I think it looks a lot cooler," Vaca said. Luke Middleton, a researcher at the Policy Research Institute on the sixth floor of Blake Hall, was not as enthused with his newly tinted windows. "We had a great view," he said. "But then they went and made it darker." - Edited by Amy Kelly UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Zach Straus/Kansan Maia Lee, Lawrence junior, pauses in the midst of a construction zone in front of the Kansas Union.

CONSTRUCTION Natural history museum upgrading, expanding By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Natural History Museum is getting a facelift. With exterior powerwashing, fire safety code upgrades and an informatics lab expansion, full-body make-over might be a better term. In honor of the museum's 100th anniversary, exterior stones and windows will be repaired and powerwashed. The KU Biodiversity Informatics Lab is being expanded, thanks to a $250,000 pledge from the Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum Charitable Foundation. The museum is also required by law to upgrade its fire safety equipment. Jordan Yochim, assistant director of the museum, said Dyche Hall, where the museum is located, had been undergoing different renovations for more than eight years. "They'll probably go on for another million years," Yochim said. Yochim said because of the building's size and age, projects like these took a long time. Brad Kemp, assistant director of public affairs at the museum, said all the projects had different schedules and he was unsure when they would be complete. Kemp said the most dramatic change that visitors would notice will be the remodeling of the gift shop and the entrance to the panorama on the main floor. "The gift shop used to be a country store theme," Kemp said. "It will be slicker and more modern." Kemp said the gift shop would connect to the visitor services office. A plasma In compliance with fire safety codes, a second fire escape,fire protected corridors and more sprinklers will also be added.The state funded the fire safety improvements. screen will be added at the panorama's entrance to explain the exhibit.

From the exterior, the house at 1144 Louisiana St. doesn't look much different. "It looked like it was waiting to be torn down. Most of the windows were boarded up. There was no lock on the front door from where the police or whoever kicked it in. The stairs were ready to collapse," Norton narrates as he describes his home on Paper Street in the movie. At the house on the northeast corner of 12th and Louisiana streets, paint peels from the old wood. Bricks are faded and well-worn. Windows are open from lack of air-conditioning and have few blinds. The porch is dilapidated but sturdy and houses typical well-worn college furniture and stale wet cigarette butts. However, the inside is a different story. The lock is not broken on the front door, though an ashtray props it open. The spiral staircase isn't collapsing. The walls are freshly painted white and the floors are well kept. The apartments are cozy with character. The history of the house is also intact. The house has been a home for many different people since it was bought from Cecilia O. Towne in June 1920. On April 25, 1923 the house was home to members of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority. The sorority kept ownership of the house until passing the deed to Beta Tau fraternity March 15, 1966. Wahid Qandil bought the house from Beta Tau October 30, 1975. Students have rented the apartments from current owner and landlord Joann Qandil, Lawrence resident, and wife of Wahid, since the eighties. She isn't exactly sure when she became landlord of the house because she owns several properties in Lawrence and can't keep them all straight. Kurt Blithe, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, said she was a good landlord. "She fixes things she's a slumlord but she fixes things," Blithe said. The 12 apartments within the house hold 18 tenants or so according to Qandil, although she couldn't be sure. A count of names on the mailboxes confirmed the resident number was 18. That number grows larger when you count the transients that pass by the property. Sarah Blithe, Witchita graduate student, said the homeless populations frequenting the area didn't worry her. Ashlee Marshall, Topeka junior, said she wasn't bothered by their presence either. "Nothing has happened so far," she said Most transients passing through were just looking for cans said Marshall and her roommate Libby Erickson, Overland Park junior. "I have seen some of the students collecting their cans for them," Qandil said. Erickson and Marshall have subleased their apartment since May 31 and have been satisfied so far. "The rent is worth it for the location to campus," Erickson said. "It's pretty wild here at night." Wild nights and a variety of faces have passed through this Louisiana Street house, beating and bruising the exterior to a Fight Club mirage, but not destroying it. It stands firm for student housing now and into the future. How long though, only time can tell. — Edited by Annie Bernethy NATION Putlitzer Board reviews award given to Times reporter in 1932 NEWYORK—A Pulitzer Prize awarded in 1932 to a New York Times correspondent is under review and could be revoked because of complaints that he deliberately ignored the forced famine in the Ukraine that killed millions. The review of Walter Duranty's work was launched in April by a Pulitzer subcommittee. No Pulitzer has ever been revoked in the 86 years that the prize has been awarded. "Exactly like Jayson Blair, the heart of all this is journalistic integrity and ethics," said Michael Sawkiw Jr., president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, referring to the Times reporter who was found to have falsified and plagiarized dozens of stories. Duranty covered the Soviet Union for the Times from 1922 to 1941, earning acclaim for an exclusive 1929 interview with Stalin. This was not the first time that the Pulitzer Board has reconsidered its award to Duranty. A similar probe in 1990 ended with a decision to let the Pulitzer stand.

As he entered, he said he was greeted by two hungry couples sitting on a beat-up couch watching ESPN's Sunday Night Football. An attractive woman in her late 20s handed him a $20 bill. McFarland turned to make change and said he was surprised when he felt her hand snaking between his legs and groping his testicles. "I went to get the change and she just grabbed my balls. We looked at each other and laughed a little bit, they gave me a big tip and I left with a smile on my face," McFarland said. McFarland said he and the small army of delivery men in Lawrence never knew what they would find when they headed into the darkness to deliver hot pizzas. From hungry inebriates to icy roads, students who offer beer and marijuana as tips and women who offer a strip-tease in place of cash, McFarland said his job could serve up a spicy slice of life in Lawrence. Nicole Becker, shift manager at Pizza Hut, 934 Massachusetts St., said the most interesting delivery stories typically involved drunken customers and people out of control. "Most drivers have a story about some drunk person trying to compensate them with something other then money," Becker, Olathe junior, said. "You can use your imagination as to what that compensation may be." McFarland, Lawrence senior, said he had been flashed by girls trying to get pizza for free. "I didn't give it to them because then I would have had to buy it and that's money out of my pocket," he said. Justin Shrack, Lawrence senior, is a former Papa Keno's delivery driver. He said he was offered beer for tips when he delivered to parties. Domino's Pizza driver Adam Reese, Manhattan freshman, said he was once offered marijuana as a tip. "I delivered a pizza to a couple of guys and after they had paid they invited me to come in and smoke with them," Reese said. Money is still the preferred form of payment for pizza delivery drivers. While the price of pizza stays the same, the size of tips varies. Reese said $1 is an average tip. Depending on the size of the order, Reese said delivery drivers consider $2 a good tip. Reese said he was happy if he was handed a $10 bill and got to keep the change on an $8.75 order. McFarland said students don't deserve their bad-tipping reputation. "Students are better tippers than your average public because of the amount of students in the service industry. They're sympathetic," McFarland said. Drunks and strange payment methods aren't the only challenges drivers face. Nature makes life difficult for many drivers. "Most drivers have a story about some drunk person trying to compensate them with something other then money," Becker, Olathe junior, said. "You can use your imagination as to what that compensation may be." Nicole Becker Olathe junior Jared Greene, Gumby's Pizza delivery driver, said snow and ice made delivering to a hilly campus difficult. "Last winter we had a really good snow pack," Greene said. "I couldn't get up the hill over by GSP and Corbin. I had to park and walk up the hill to deliver the pizza." McFarland described an ice storm that made delivering dangerous. "You couldn't go more than five miles an hour. One of our drivers actually was involved in a five-car pileup on Iowa Street. Thankfully he wasn't hurt," he said. Becker said parades and other special events cause more problems for deliveries than weather at the Pizza Hut she manages. "When KU won the Final Four game against Marquette we almost had to close down deliveries completely," she said about the number of celebrating motorists. Becker estimated that her store sent out approximately 150 delivery orders on a typical Friday night, one of those weekend nights when pizza drivers could expect strange encounters. Greene said he had one such encounter with several drunks outside McCollum Hall. As he carried a pizza, Greene said he was rushed by an inebriated student who attempted to wrestle the pizza away from him. "I grabbed the pizza with one hand and shoved him with the other," Greene said. "After midnight you're dealing with just about all drunks. For about three hours there you've got to exercise extreme patience and expect the unexpected." Greene described another encounter with a pair of dogs. "I had just delivered a pizza and as I opened the gate to leave the yard I had a dog on each leg," he said. For Reese, the pay made things worthwhile. Reese said he made $5.15 an hour and $.70 per delivery to cover gas and mileage, plus tips. He said his pay averages out to between $10 and $12 an hour. In addition to the money, delivery drivers have the opportunity to see into the lives and homes of the people of Lawrence. Shrack described one occasion when the people were gone but the money was there. "I went to one house where the customers had to go to the store to get something," Shrack said. "They had left a note on the door saying where money was in the house and how much to take for a tip. So I went in and made the delivery." —Edited by Maggie Newcomer Fetal Alcohol Syndrome clinic battles disease The Associated Press EMPORIA — It's his first full day of summer vacation and Lance Sutton has to be coaxed to skip down the hallway of the Flint Hills Community Health Center. Even the sight of his hosts for the day, staff members of the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Clinic, skipping in unison isn't enough to inspire the 6-year-old. Nancy Devenport, a speech therapist with the FAS clinic says Lance isn't refusing to skip. And it's not that he can't do it. Lance and other children who Lance has static encephalophathy with alcohol exposed, meaning alcohol affected his brain's development, said psychologist Wes Jones. have been exposed to alcohol while in their mother's womb just don't think, move or behave like other children, she said. Once a child is diagnosed with FAS, all clinicians can do is offer suggestions to the child's guardians and school on how to cope with what one of the clinic's founders, Dr. James Barnett, calls an "invisible handicap." One morning a month the half dozen team members of the FAS clinic try to make people understand the dangers of consuming alcohol while pregnant. A pilot program sponsored with $15,000 each from the state Legislature and the community, the clinic is the only one of its kind in the state. About seven states in the nation have such clinics, said Barnett, who's also a Republican state senator from Emporia. Team members, including psychologists, physicians, and therapists, traveled to the University of Washington in November 2001 to learn about FAS and how to operate a clinic. 000 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 012 013 014 015 016 017 018 019 020 021 022 023 024 025 026 027 028 029 030 031 032 033 034 035 036 037 038 039 040 041 042 043 044 045 046 047 048 049 050 051 052 053 054 055 056 057 058 059 060 061 062 063 064 065 066 067 068 069 070 071 072 073 074 075 076 077 078 079 080 081 082 083 084 085 086 087 088 089 090 091 092 093 094 095 096 097 098 099 100 TABLE 1 Their work time, about eight hours a month, is donated by their employers. Barnett said the clinic's primary goal is to prevent the syndrome, which can lower IQs, impede growth, cause facial abnormalities, and create behavioral problems. In some cases, fetuses can die. The syndrome is entirely preventable with education, he said. The National Institute of Health reports 39 percent of women of childbearing age know about fetal alcohol syndrome. "If you're pregnant you shouldn't drink. And if you drink, you shouldn't be pregnant," he said. --- 16 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN JAYHAWKS ON PARADE WEDNESDAY,JUNE11,2003 一 1) A HAWK WITH A VIEW by Mike Savage located at Hereford House, Sixth Street and Wakaraus Drive.

They set out from one of three start points west of Tribune, Syracuse and Johnson City Kansas depending the routes they follow across south-central Kansas. Riders end their ride In LaCygne at the Missouri line on June 14, after crossing 470 to 501 miles. Out-of-state purchases subject to additional Kansas taxes HUTCHINSON—Many Kansans are breaking the state's tax law, and they don't even know it. A 1937 Kansas state law requires any Kansas resident who buys merchandise from another state to pay the difference between the two states' sales taxes. Someone buying an item in Wyoming is required, under state law, to pay Kansas the difference between what he or she paid in sales tax to the other state and what Kansas would charge. "It's pretty well on the honor system or personal purchases," said Steve Brunkan, a policy analyst for the Kansas Department of Revenue. Individuals are rarely audited for sales tax compliance, he said. Kansas businesses pay $35 million to $50 million each year in additional sales tax to state, Brunkan said. After July 1, consumers will combine local sales tax rates with the state sales tax rate when calculating out-of-state sales taxes due to Kansas. Brunkan said the Department of Revenue won't make any new push to make people pay the tax. New professional baseball team debuts in Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Kan. — It was standing room only at the debut of the Kansas City T-Bones, the first professional baseball team to begin calling Kansas City home since the Royals put down roots in 1969. Friday 7,014 people packed every seat at the Community America Ballpark and spread out blankets on the grassy knoll in the picnic area behind right field to watch the game. However, the T-Bones lost the game to the Sioux City Explorers 1-0. T-Bones general manager Adam Ehlert, son of owner John Ehlert, insists the team is not in competition with their bigger, richer neighbor. "The Royals are major league baseball. We have a vastly different product at a vastly different price range." Ehlert said. The most expensive seat in Kauffman Stadium costs $140. At CommunityAmerica Ballpark, the "Prime T-Bone" seats cost $13.50. The cheapest seats at Kauffman Stadium, box seats are $22, compared to the T-Bones are $9.50. The players are mostly college and low minor league veterans, playing in an independent league without affiliation to a bigleague club. Traces of dangerous algae found in Marion Reservoir HILLSBORO—The discovery of a potentially dangerous algae has prompted officials to stop pumping from the Marion Reservoir and start hauling water from nearby districts. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers discovered the fairly aggressive strain of the Anabeana algae in the reservoir Thursday, said Morgan Marler, senior water treatment technician for the city of Hillsboro. Marler said the city began bringing water in on trucks from McPherson and from the Kansas Rural Water Association on Friday. She said the district's 7,000 customers in Hillsboro and nearby Peabody have also been asked to conserve water. She said the algae, which occurs naturally in the proper conditions, could be harmful to humans. The water is coming into Hillsboro 24 hours a day, on three trucks at a time each loaded with about 6,200 gallons of water, Marler said. She said it was unclear how long the city would continue hauling water. Hillsboro is located about 50 miles north of Wichita in east-central Kansas. Kansas residents ticketed for out-of-state licensed cars WICHITA — Driving a vehicle registered out of the state of Kansas while a resident here could earn you a ticket. Sedgwick County Treasurer Jan Kennedy said the county's Tag Enforcement Unit, created in 1990 was formed to find people who illegally register their vehicles in another state. Kansas has one of the highest registry taxes in the nation. Last year, the county collected $441,283 from people replacing out-of-state tags with Kansas plates. It costs the county $175,000 a year to run the unit, which relies heavily on public input to nab would-be tax dodgers. If deputies conclude that someone probably has an illegal tag, that person will get a warning letter. Some have a reasonable excuse, such as being in the military or in college, which are exceptions to the law. Deputy Elton Bowman said to avoid a ticket a vehicle in Kansas for more than three months must be registered in the state. NATION Mother arrested after partying with her daughter and minors DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — A school bus driver rented a motel room, stocked it with beer, then drank with her eighth- grade daughter and classmates has been charged with corrupting minors, authorities said. Jacqueline Allerton, 40, was arrested Friday and was also charged with furnishing alcohol to minors. She was released on $75,000 bail. "Mrs. Allerton wanted a treat for these kids," said David Zellis, Bucks County's first assistant district attorney. Allerton and six youths, including her 14-year-old daughter, allegedly drank three cases of beer and a case of Bacardi Silver malt beverage after a May 17 dance at Keith Valley Middle School in Horsham, a suburb of Philadelphia, authorities said. Allerton is a bus driver for the Hatboro-Horsham School District, which operates Keith Valley Middle School. Judge decreases sentence of sailor convicted of murder PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — A sailor was sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison for fatally beating his wife with an iron skillet and stabbing his mother-in-law to death last year. Monday a military jury shortened the usual 30-year sentencing of Petty Officer 2nd Class David A. DeArmond DeArmond, a native of Fresno, Calif., pleaded guilty last month to charges of unpremeditated murder and manslaughter in exchange for prosecutors dropping charges of premeditated murder. DeArmond also pleaded guilty to a charge of abusing his wife's corpse. He received credit for one year served in the Navy and was dishonorably discharged. His Singapore-born wife, Zaleha DeArmond, 31, and her mother, Saniah Binte Abdul Ghani, 66, were found dead June 10, 2002, in the couple's home in a Navy housing complex near Pearl Harbor. Lt. Commander James Lucci, the prosecuting attorney, called for the maximum penalty of life in prison without parole, citing the vicious nature of the crime and DeArmond's lack of remorse. Man pleads guilty to five counts of kidnapping in sex-slave case SYRACUSE, N.Y. - A retired handyman pleaded guilty Tuesday to holding five women captive as sex slaves in an underground bunker over a 15-year period. John Jamelske, 68, pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree kidnapping. Under a plea deal, Jamelske could serve 18 years to life.

Monkey pox ailments linked to prairie dogs kept as pets MADISON, Wis. — A virus similar to smallpox jumped from pet prairie dogs to at least four people in the disease's first appearance in the Western Hemisphere. Four Wisconsin residents have confirmed cases of the monkey pox virus and 14 others have suspected cases, said Milwaukee health commissioner Dr. Seth Foldy. At least 13 cases are suspected in Indiana and Illinois officials confirmed Monday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a giant Gambian rat, which is indigenous to Africa, infected the prairie dogs at a Chicago-area pet distributor. The four people confirmed with the virus contracted it by close contact with prairie dogs, Wisconsin officials said. The 13 people suspected of having the virus in Wisconsin were around prairie dogs and another contracted it while handling a sick rabbit that was near a prairie dog. Monkey pox in humans is not usually fatal, but causes rashes, fevers and chills. Doctors initially feared they might be facing smallpox, which causes similar symptoms as monkey pox. Writer fired for plagiarizing movie reviews, sports columns KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Sedalia Democrat fired Michael Kinney,a sportswriter for the paper, last Thursday for plagiarizing sports columns and parts of a movie review. A reader of the Democrat called the paper last month to report similarities between a movie review by Kinney and one written by columnist Roger Ebert. Oliver Wiest, editor for the Democrat said a search of the Internet "found several similar instances of plagiarism from online sources in Mr. Kinney's movie reviews dating back to late last year." Wiest said he found "more extensive plagiarism" in two of Kinney's sports columns. Most of Kinney's lifted material consisted of descriptive phrases, sentences and "occasionally a paragraph," Wiest said. Nothing in Kinney's sports coverage was found to be questionable, he said. The Democrat is a daily newspaper with a circulation of about 11,800 in Sedalia. Kansas City to crack down on local child pornographers KANSAS CITY, Mo. Federal and state officials in the Kansas City area are embarking on the large scale investigation into local child pornography. U. S. Attorney Todd Graves, the top federal prosecutor for the western half of Missouri, said aggressive pursuit of people who traffic in child pornography is his top local priority. Graves has hired a computer investigator and created the Computer Crimes and Child Exploitation Unit in his office. Helping with the effort is Kevin Stafford, special agent in charge of the FBI field office. Working in Maryland a decade ago, Stafford established a nationwide sting operation that seeks to identify child pornographers as well as people who contact children on the Internet and travel to meet them. The FBI will soon begin a similar sting in the Kansas City area. Graves office has prosecuted about 20 child exploitation cases; and those were filed before his office began gearing up for the latest push. In Kansas,26 such cases were prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's office over the last year. WORLD North Korea threatens to build nukes to counter U.S. hostility SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea threatened on Monday to build nuclear weapons as a deterrent to what it calls a "hostile" U.S. policy. The statement marked a sharpening of the North's tone in its standoff with Washington. U.S. officials said the North Koreans told them the country already has nuclear bombs and plans to build more. North Korea linked its nuclear efforts to rebuilding its moribund economy. The North Korean government claims their nuclear weapons are not intended to be used as black mail but to rebuild the economy and reduce conventional weapons. President Bush said he prefers a diplomatic solution, but has not ruled out military options. It remains unclear when U.S. and North Korean officials will meet again to discuss ending the nuclear crisis. North Three suspected of SARS in Jasper County, Missouri The Associated Press JOPLIN, Mo. — Health officials are investigating three new suspected cases of SARS in southwest Missouri, the first in the state in more than two months. The three individuals in Jasper County have voluntarily isolated themselves in their homes while follow-up tests are performed to confirm or deny that their illnesses are SARS. Two of the cases emerged early last week, with the third appearing Friday. One of the individuals in the initial case, which was reported May 30, spent about two days in the hospital, Jasper County Health Department director Tony Moehr said. Moehr said the initial two cases were individuals living in the same house. The third person had close contact with one of the original two. Moehr would not reveal any other identifying information, other than to say the people were not from Joplin, a city of about 45,000 people and home to about 39 percent of the county's population. The three individuals bring Missouri's suspected case total to four.A St. Louis area resident is also awaiting test results. The blood tests, which are sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Ga., require at least 22 days before they can be determined as positive or negative. However, results can take longer because of the volume of testing at the CDC. To be characterized as a suspected case, an individual must have a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher and a mild to severe respiratory illness - symptoms Moehr said are common with many diseases, including the common cold. But the individual must also have traveled or had close contact with a person who had traveled within the last 10 days to one of five areas where SARS has been found: Toronto, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan or mainland China. The initial suspected case in Jasper County came into contact with an individual who was ill and who had been in Toronto, Moehr said. It was uncertain whether the individual in Toronto had SARS or another illness, Moehr said. Officials have treated the cases as though they were SARS,he said. "Even if it turns out to be SARS, I don't think it's something that should have a tremendous impact on the community," Moehr said. Missouri has had a total of five suspected SARS cases. A southwest Missouri resident had been a suspected case, but blood tests revealed no signs of a coronavirus experts have associated with SARS, Quinn said. The state has had no cases classified as "probable" and no confirmed cases. At least 8,300 people worldwide have been sickened by the disease since November and 785 have died. Moehr said the disease is spread through close contact and is not airborne. As with any disease, Moehr said proper hygiene — particularly regular hand-washing — can help stop the spread of SARS. Korea has said it might consider U.S. demands for talks involving several nations, if it can first meet one-on-one with the United States. Rumsfeld admits resistance against U.S.-led peacekeeping TIRANA, Albania — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday it will take time to locate die-hard remnants of Saddam Hussein's deposed regime in Iraq. The United States is talking to approximately three-dozen countries about assembling an international peacekeeping force for postwar Iraq, Rumsfeld said. He also said that even after the force begins arriving in September there will be resistance from elements of Saddam's Baathist Party and other loyalists. "It will take time to root out the remnants of the Saddam Hussein regime and we intend to do it." Rumsfeld said. Rumsfeld said the failure of the U.S. led coalition to prove that Saddam is dead may be fueling continued violence and resistance in the country. Rumsfeld said he did not doubt that intelligence on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction will prove correct, despite the failure after two months to find the weapons the Bush administration said were the rationale for the war. The Associated Press 20 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY,JUNE11,2003 Events leading to Perkins' hiring April 26, 2001 Athletic director Bob Frederick resigns after 14 years. June 28, 2001 June 28, 2001 Allen Bohl is officially announced as Kansas' 12th athletic director. "The appointment of Al Bohl signals the start of a new and exciting era in KU athletics," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said. Nov.5, 2001 Former Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams said he was "disappointed and sad" after Bohl fired football coach Terry Allen. Allen had three games remaining in the season when he was fired. April 11,2002 Bohl linked to improper transfer of funds ranging from $200,000 to $400,000 at Fresno State University. May 9, 2002 Bohl reportedly tells the KU Athletics Corporation Board he "did nothing inappropriately" while at Fresno State. December 2002 NCAA letter of inquiry prompts Fresno State to announce self-imposed sanctions due to rule violations during Al Bohl's tenure as athletics director. February 2003 The Fresno Bee publishes a story linking Bohl to detailed allegations of academic misconduct involving three student athletes. Williams addresses the issue that he and Feb.14,2003 Bohl are not getting along: "My relationship with my athletic director is a very professional relationship. He's the athletic director and I know that. If I need something, I go talk to him about it." March 28,2003 Lawrence-Journal World publishes a story in which Dana Anderson, a prominent KU benefactor, said "if there are irreconcilable differences between coach and Al Bohl and I don't have animosity toward Al Bohl but if a choice needs to be made, it's not really much of a choice. Coach feels like he's being micromanaged, and if that's the case we need to eliminate the micromanagement. I don't want to negotiate or debate it. Let's just make the change." April 9, 2003 Hemenway fires Bohl and names Drue Jennings as interim athletics director. "I believe the Kansas basketball coach had the power to hold his athletic director in his hand like a dove," Bohl said at a news conference held in his driveway. "He had a choice to either crush me with his power of influence or let me fly with my vision for a better, total program. He chose to crush me." April 14,2003 Williams leaves Kansas to become the head coach at North Carolina. June 10,2003 Lew Perkins officially announced as the University's 13th athletic director. PERKINS: Kansas' new athletics director will strive to restore stability CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 nal selected Perkins as the National Athletic Director of the Year in 2000. The Connecticut Division of Athletics recognized him for his overall leadership skills during the 1990s. But Perkins is not coming to Kansas quietly. He was criticized for leaving UConn just three months before the $90 million football stadium he fought for is scheduled to open. He is also leaving behind a Big East that is in turmoil with three major schools Miami, Syracuse and Boston College threatening to leave. Perkins said his decision to come to Kansas was not influenced by problems in the Big East it had everything to do with Kansas. "You know how you have a feeling about something," Perkins said. "Well, KU had a great feeling to me." After 13 years at UConn, Perkins said he was ready for a change. He said throughout his athletic career there were two or three schools where he would consider working. Perkins particularly appreciated the tradition and history Kansas had to offer. Hemenway was Perkins' other reason for leaving UConn. Perkins said he admired Hemenway's commitment to athletics at Kansas. Details of Perkins' contract and salary were not available at the press conference. According to the Associated Press, UConn paid Perkins a base salary of $273,870 along with $105,108 for the purchase of qualified annuity. Perkins also had a $200,000 buy-out clause in contract. Former Kansas athletics director Al Bohl was earning $255,000 when he was fired. —Edited by Maggie Newcomer CIGARS & RITTLERS JB.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS 21 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11,2003 ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Director of Athletics Lew Perkins The University of Kansas New Perkins on campus Zach Straus/Kansan Lew Perkins fields questions at a press conference to announce his hiring by the University of Kansas. At the conference, held yesterday, Perkins expressed his firm commitment to the University and to its student athletes. Athletics director decision pleases University officials, eases departmental woes By Kevin Flaherty kflaherty@kansan.com Kansan writer Attendees of the press conference yesterday were all smiles as Chancellor Robert Hemenway named Lew Perkins as the 13th athletics director in the University of Kansas' history. Perkins, 58, the former athletics director at the University of Connecticut, kept everyone at ease with constant joking, even venturing to kiss the hand of Lawrence Journal-World sports editor Chuck Woodling because Woodling was older than he was. Perkins' personality and comedy are some of the things Bill Self, Kansas basketball coach, liked about the hire. "I think what you see is what you get. I think he's a guy who has a sense of humor, who will joke with you, who wants to have fun," Self said. "But at the same time, I think there is a serious message behind what he's saying: We won't tolerate anything but everybody's best." Self said Kansas now had a director that the alumni base could look at and say, "we hit a home run." One of Perkins' accolades before coming to Kansas was his success in the area of women's sports. At Connecticut, he added three women's sports: lacrosse, rowing and ice hockey. The Huskies basketball team also thrived under his tenure, winning four national championships in his 13 years there. His commitment to women's basketball was a positive in Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington's mind. "He has done a great job of elevating women's athletics at the University of Connecticut," Washington said. "I've thought for a long time that women's basketball and women's volleyball were two sports that could generate revenue, but you need to have someone in your leadership who believes in that too." The Connecticut women's basketball team served as another revenue sport besides men's basketball and football, eventually generating television contract money. The football team will play in a new $90 million stadium because of Perkins' persuasiveness. Despite the fact that most people opposed the deal, the Connecticut legislature approved the new stadium plans. "Chancellor Hemenway said he was going to get the best athletics director in America to come here, and I think he achieved that goal." Mangino said. "Our entire athletic department needs a lot of Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach, said Perkins' success of elevating the Huskies football team to Division I-A and building the stadium made him a good hire. attention, but I'm pleased with his approach on football and its role in a Big 12 institution." Drue Jennings, former interim athletics director, said Perkins would give the department stability. "This department has not had a plan in at least three to four years maybe longer, and if they do they are buried someplace where no one can find them," Jennings said. We could raise more money from donors if we could lay a vision in front of the public of where we were going, what we were going to do and where we wanted to be, he said. Perkins can do that. "Lew Perkins can say 'We want to be champions,'" he said. — Edited by Annie Bernethy ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Jennings leaves KU, returns to family, quiet By Saju Ng'alla sngalla@kansan.com Kansan staff reporter The University of Kansas' announcement of Lew Perkins as the new athletics director yesterday gave Drue Jennings a sigh of relief. As interim athletics director, Jennings was responsible for hiring a new head basketball coach. In addition, Jennings helped raise enough money to cover the athletics department's expenses during the past few months' transitions. Looking back, Jennings said he would have never taken the job if he knew he would have had to hire a head basketball coach. "I would have thought it was not fair to the University and to myself to throw me, as a brand new greenhorn, into the business of hiring a new basketball coach to a school with a 105-year basketball tradition," Jennings said. Jennings was a significant player in the hiring of Bill Self, the new head basketball coach for Kansas. He, along with Chancellor Robert Hemenway, was also responsible for hiring Perkins as the new athletics director. Having done that much in as little as three months has prompted many to wonder why Jennings should not have been offered the job permanently. Jennings said he would have never considered such a proposal. "I want more control of my life and my calendar," he said. Now retired from Kansas City Power & Light, where he served as CEO for 14 years, Jennings said he did not want to go back to working 70-hour weeks. However, since taking on the duties of being an athletics director, Jennings found himself going home at 10 p.m. and waking up at SEE JENNINGS ON PAGE 23 22 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS WEDNESDAY,JUNE11,2003 BASEBALL Clemens seeks 300th victory despite respiratory infection NEW YORK — Roger Clemens plans to pitch Friday night against St. Louis, trying for the fourth time to earn his 300th career victory despite an upper respiratory infection he can't completely shake. "My day is still Friday," Clemens said before the New York Yankees played Houston yesterday night. "I know I'm going to be better by then." His wife and youngest son remain ill with the same problem, and Clemens' cough has not gone away. A heavy scent of medication hovered around his locker as he spoke. Clemens is trying to become the 21st pitcher to win 300 games. The only other pitcher to reach the milestone while playing for the Yankees was Phil Niekro, who did it on the final day of the 1985 season on his fifth try. College coach accuses Royals of ignoring player's interests RENO, Nev. University of Nevada's baseball coach is criticizing the Kansas City Royals for signing one of his pitchers claiming the team ignored the player's best interests. The Royals signed free agent J.T. Sherman, a junior right-hander not selected in last week's 50-round major league amateur draft. Gary Powers, in his 20th year at Nevada, said he was angry and disappointed when he found out about the signing. The Royals defended the signing. "He is a 22-year-old who obviously made a decision that this is the direction he wants to go," said Deric Ladnier, senior director of scouting for the Royals. "Under no circumstances did we pressure him to sign a contract and he'll always be entitled to go back to school. The 6-foot-4 Sherman was 8-5 last season with a 5.11 earned run average in 17 starts. He led the team with 111 innings pitched and three complete games, and tied for the lead with 79 strikeouts. Sosa appeals suspension, won't speak about matter BALTIMORE — Sammy Sosa is done talking. All he can do now is wait. Yesterday, Sosa appealed his eight-game suspension for using a corked bat. After speaking for about an hour with Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, Sosa could only hope for the best. "I'm waiting for the decision they're going to make. Whatever punishment A decision from major league baseball could come as soon as today. they're going to do, I accept it," he said. Cubs officials said Sosa would not speak with reporters again during a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles that concludes tomorrow. Sosa started in right field against the Orioles, but the Cubs were unsure how much longer he would be with the team. "You'd like to get it over with so we can put it behind us and move forward," Cubs second baseman Mark Grudzielanek said. "Obviously he's a vital part of our offense and our team, and we kind of want to know what's going to happen." Bob Watson, baseball's vice president in charge of discipline, suspended Sosa for eight games Friday, but the appeal allows him to play until a ruling is made. SOCCER Soccer star Beckham may veto trade deal with Barcelona LONDON — David Beckham will determine where he plays, and he seems ready to veto a deal that would send the Manchester United star to Barcelona. Yesterday the two European powers agreed on a sale for the world's most famous soccer player. Beckham first must give approval, and there is little indication he will do so. The deal is contingent on Beckham agreeing to contract terms and Joan Laporta winning Sunday's election as president of the Barcelona club. As is customary in transfers, no fee was disclosed by Manchester United. Newspaper reports have said any bid for Beckham would have to be at least $48 million. Beckham said he has no plans to meet with Laporta. Sidelined with a broken wrist, Beckham and wife Victoria, a former Spice Girl, are in Los Angeles. "If I am not elected president, I would turn over the transfer to the man who does win," Laporta said at a news conference at Barcelona.

The NCAA championships in Sacramento, Calif., begin today and run until Texas beats Florida State advances to World Series By Clint Hale Daily Texan via U-Wire University of Texas-Austin TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — If chicks dig the long ball, then Texas baseball players Taylor Teagarden and Curtis Thigpen are going to be real popular with the ladies in Austin, Texas. Teagarden, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, and Thigpen launched back-toback home runs in Texas' 6-5 win over Florida State Monday night. With the win, the Longhorns advance to the College World Series for the second straight year. With the score tied at 2-2 in the third, Teagarden pounded a ball to left field that landed in the parking lot and also brought in Eric Sultemeier. Thigpen then got hold of a Matt Lynch pitch, barely sending the ball over the left field wall, but good enough for a three-run advantage. "I knew I was going to get a pitch to hit since I have so much talent batting around me," Teagarden said. "My teammates put me in good situations and make my job a lot easier." The Seminoles got to Texas' starting pitcher Justin Simmons early in the first, when Blake Balkcom hit a scorcher down the third base line that caused problems for Sultemeier. By the time the left fielder corralled the ball, Balkcom was already at third. Catcher Tony Richie grounded to Omar Quintanilla on the next at-bat, but Texas' shortstop misplayed the ball and Balkcom scored easily. Simmons soon regained himself, retiring Danny Wardell and Jerrod Brown to keep the Longhorns' deficit at one after the top half of the first. In the second, Chris Hart launched a home run to left on a 2-2 pitch that stretched Florida State's lead to 2-0. Hart's bomb was the first homer given up by a Texas hurler since regional play began. Then it was time for Texas (48-18) to get on the board. With two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the second, nine-hitter Huston Street was walked by Lynch on four pitches, which brought in Teagarden from third. Tim Moss then got plunked on a 2-2 count, bringing in Joe Ferin for the tying run. Florida State went yard again in the fifth when Richie hit a blast to left field off reliever J. Brent Cox that pulled the Seminoles within two at 6-4. The showdown of the game came in the seventh when Richie came to the plate with two outs and a man on third. Florida State's catcher got the best of Cox, singling to center and pulling the Seminoles within one. Closer Street nailed the door shut for Texas, keeping the Florida State lineup at bay over the final two frames and getting Richie to ground out to end the game. "Huston Street should have a street named after him," Florida State head coach Mike Martin said of Texas' ace closer. "What a warrior he is, the way he played today." The Seminoles (54-13-1) were without starting shortstop Stephen Drew, who strained his right hamstring in a collision during Sunday's game. "My hamstring is at a point where I can't play. I was hoping it would feel better when I woke up this morning, but it didn't," Drew said before the game. Texas faces Miami Saturday at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., in the first round of the 2003 College World Series. Saturday. UF goes into the meet as a heavy favorite among other national powerhouses, such as Auburn and Louisiana State. "We have a good chance to run for a trophy," Tom Jones UF women's coach said. The women's team goes into the championship ranked by various track and field experts as No.1, while the men's team is ranked No.11. Jones said he sees his team going far in the NCAAs after winning the Southeastern Conference Outdoor and the NCAA East Regional titles. Despite stiff competition, coaches and players expect to see history-making results that will add to an already successful season, but remain aware of the magnitude of the situation. "I'm really proud of this group," Mike Holloway, UF men's coach said. "As long as we stay positive and focus it should all come together." Combined, the men and women's teams are taking 26 athletes, who will compete in about 22 different events. The Associated Press 10. (5分) . WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11,2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 23 JENNINGS: Returning to his family CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 4:30 a.m. to go work. Jennings said the job was exhausting and draining the life out of him. The demand of the job caused him to cancel appointments nearly everyday. At this point in his life he would rather spend most of his time with his family, he said. Jennings has two grandchildren and before he became interim athletics director he saw them everyday. After taking the job, he saw them once every week to ten days. "I say that not to complain," Jennings said. "It is just an observation of the reality of it. That is what it takes to do the job." When Hemenway first offered him the temporary position, Jennings said he made two stipulations. First, the chancellor himself must take on the main responsibility of choosing the new athletic director and not leaving it up to a committee. "The ultimate trigger was his to pull, because if we stumble, he is the one who is going to take the heat," Jennings said. Second, the chancellor had to set a clear deadline as to when the new athletic director would be hired. Jennings was not about to give up control of his life for a long period of time.

PEOPLE Student athletes juggle academics, competitions Breaking stereotypes key to academic success future personal objectives By Saju Ng'alla sngalla@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University of Kansas has more than 500 student athletes and $99.5\%$ of them plan on being professionals in areas other than sports, according to the athletic department. Throughout the 2002-03 basketball season, the NCAA carried out a campaign to explain how student athletes balance the requirements of their academics with the pressure of athletic competitions. Paul Buskirk, associate athletics director of student support services, said such stereotypes were not based on enough facts. The message was simple. Student athletes across the nation can successfully balance both the pressure of sports and the rigors of academic studies. In a 30-second television spot, a swimmer said, "I swim the 200. I study sociology. I grind out laps. I cram for tests. I race nationals. I take finals. And when I finish, I'll be ready to start." It has often been the notion that students with athletic scholarships do not perform well because of the demands of their athletic obligations. If they do extremely well in their sport, it's thought their studies suffer. "Certainly there are some students who are so focused on trying to achieve their athletic goals that they leave the rest of life's goals to slide," he said. Former Jayhawks, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich are prime examples. Besides excelling in college basketball, both players graduated in four years. Buskirk said student athletes were often more than capable of succeeding in both academics and sports. "A lot of non-student athletes don't even graduate in four straight years," Buskirk said. When students are busy,they don't have extra time to waste,they have to learn to use their time and get the job done, Buskirk said. Kim Clark Elkhorn, Neb., junior, is a biochemistry major and middle distance runner. She will compete in the NCAA track and field nationals this summer. This year she was awarded the Verizon Academic Big 12 Regional Award for outstanding work in the classroom as well as in track. Maggie Mason, Elmira, Canada, senior, is a member of the Kansas soccer team and during the spring semester was involved with five organizations. Mason said it was all about being disciplined and organized. After practice Mason is supposed to have down time to relax and do homework, she doesn't. Mason plays active role in number of organizations — the Big Brother, Big Sister program, American Cancer Society and the Big 12 Student Athletic Advisory Committee, among them. She said it was important for her to balance athletics, academics and community work. "It just makes me a stronger athlete and prepares me for the future," Mason said. Student athletes can be found in a variety of majors that require grueling hours of studies. Lindsey Morris, Overland park junior, is a powerful right-side hitter for the Kansas volleyball team and majors in mechanical engineering. Like the other athletes on the team, Morris practices everyday during the season. She grinds out hours at the gym, jogs and sprints to ensure her conditioning is at peak level. And somehow, Morris is able to maintain a 4.0 grade point average. "It is all about staying focused," Morris said, "If I did not have volleyball then I would probably leave my homework 'til the last minute." On the court, Morris is extremely aggressive. She said she had to be in order to block or spike the ball effectively. She carries that same aggressive nature with her into the classroom and enjoys the challenge of problem solving in her math classes. When Morris graduates, she plans to pursue a profession in engineering. The NCAA said it hoped people would understand that student athletes were not one-sided. Just like any other student, most of them are preparing for life after sports. — Edited by Annie Bernethy WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2003 SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN =25 MEN'S BASKETBALL KU fans asked to pay more for good seats The Associated Press Some lifelong University of Kansas basketball fans believe they're being squeezed out of their prime seats because the University can get more money if they sell the seats to someone else. University officials say it's common for schools to give the best seats to bigger donors, and if people like 77-year-old Beverly Black want to come watch Jayhawks games, they still can. They just have to come up with several thousand more dollars a year or pick a different seat. Black, who has had season tickets since 1968, pays about $1,000 apiece for her two seats. That's a big chunk of the $25,000 a year she and her husband live on. On Thursday, she received a letter from the Williams Fund, the fund-raising arm of the athletic department, asking her to call the office about her tickets. "They said to keep the seats, I'd have to pay $5,000 extra in donations to the fund," Black said. "I don't have that kind of money," she said. "I can't pay that much. I won't pay that much. I guess I'll just watch the games on television. But I have to say, it's going to hurt when I see somebody else sitting in those seats." Lloyd Cole, 80, has had four season tickets since 1965. His son-in-law, Frank Stuckey of Hutchinson, said Cole also received a letter. "When we called, they said he hadn't made his contribution, and to hold on to the seats, he'd need to come up with $10,000." Stuckey said. Williams Fund director Jay Hinrichs said about 120 season-ticket holders have either let their Williams Fund membership expire or have fallen behind in their payments. Basic membership is $100 a year. Those are the people who are being asked to increase their donations, he said. "When you're sitting in the premium seating section at Allen Fieldhouse, you want to know that the person sitting next to you is helping support KU athletics," Hinrichs said. About one-third of the fieldhouse's "When you're sitting in the premium seating section at Allen Fieldhouse, you want to know that the person sitting next to you is helping support KU athletics." Jay Hinrichs Williams Fund director roughly 16,300 seats are considered premium by the fund. Black said she let her Williams Fund membership expire in 1998 because she couldn't afford the donation on top of the ticket fees. She had been paying a donation at the $150-a-year level. "In my mind, we hadn't signed a contract or anything with the Williams Fund, so in the years when we had the money, sure, we paid it," Black said. "But later on when we didn't have the money, we decided we wouldn't. Really, it's not that we wouldn't, we couldn't. We're retired. We're on fixed income." Black's daughter, the oldest of five children — four of whom graduated from KU is furious. "What's really going on here is they know they can get more money for my mother's seat," Kate Rogge said. "They want her out of the way, and this is their way of making it happen. These old people just aren't dying fast enough for the KU athletic department." Hinrichs said the department needs the money to remain competitive. He estimates that Black's tickets could easily be sold for twice what the school is asking her to pay. He said Black and other longtime Jayhawks fans can contribute less than what they've been asked to pay, but they'll have to change seats. Stuckey said his father-in-law cannot accept less convenient seats. "He has trouble getting around," Stuckey said. "There's no way he could take the three-hour drive up there and then walk all that way. It doesn't matter because he can't afford $10,000."

But wait, it's not just any ole' barbecue blitz, it's Kansas City barbecue, baby! So how is it possible to copy the taste of that smooth robust Kansas City barbecue zing? It's all about adding wood chips, blocks and planks to the grill, plus a key sauce that creates fantastic barbecued food. One place to find smoky barbecue is at a favorite Kansas City restaurant, Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ. Being America's best-rated barbecue restaurant in the Zagat Survey, this place prides itself on creating that campfire-grilled taste. What makes Fiorella's so damn good is that all its meats are seared over a large hickory wood fire and are consistently slathered with a sweet, tangy sauce. This award-winning barbecue can literally make a grown man cry. Another deserving Kansas City barbecue classic is Gates and Sons Bar-B-Q restaurant. As Gates began in 1946, people went gaga over the finger likin' barbecue taste. Just like Jack Stack, all of Gates' meats are cooked over hickory chips and wood blocks in a large pit, adding that delectable flavor that is undoubtedly loved by all. Kansas City residents are so spoiled by such blissful barbecue places like Gates and Fiorella's that I'm surprised barbecue sauce isn't being pumped throughout the veins of the entire Kansas City populace. Luckily though for Lawrence and other residents, it's a godsend that Gates and Fiorella's barbecue sauces can be found in all major grocery stores. Now with the yearned-for sauce at hand, great tasting Kansas City barbecue can be created at home. With the tangy sauce already taken care of, all you need now is to find wood chips or planks to create that mesquite flavor in your own backyard barbecue. Wood chips and chunks are widely available at stores like Sears or at webergrill.com. Wood chips and chunks can be used on any grill to smoke or barbecue your favorite ribs or other tender meats. Each comes in a variety of woods such as mesquite, maple, hickory and other flavors to enhance grilled food. Wood planks (otherwise known as a board) are another way to smoke foods and can be found at places like Home Depot. Wood planks are perfect to cook whole fishes for a nice indirect smoky flavor, plus clean up will be a breeze as this block just sits on top of the grill. So, now you know where to find the lumber, but how are these smoky enhancers actually used? Three simple rules: 1. Always soak planks, chips, and chunks in water or a favorite beer until thoroughly soaked and drained. 2. Wood chips and chunks can be placed over coals where as again, the plank rests on top. 3. Smoke should release and grill is ready when temperature reaches 230 to 250 degrees. To learn more about using wood chips, blocks and planks, read your grill's owner's manual or take a look at Weber's Big Book of Grilling by Jamie Purviance and Sandra S. McRae. So next time, forget the barbecue takeout, dust off your grill and acquaint yourself to cooking outdoors with these new grilling tactics. You'll start creating deliciously smoky Kansas City barbecue in no time.

HEALTH Iowa Applebee's recovers from lizard in salad By Seung Min Kim The Daily lowan via U-wire University of Iowa IOWA CITY, Iowa — Although business at Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar in Coralville, Iowa, dwindled after a customer found a severed lizard head in a salad last month, business has picked up again, restaurant managers said. "It was a total turnaround at the beginning, a few weeks after the incident," Lindsey Clark, manager, said. "But now it is back to normal, like it was before." She said that while business may have An investigation proved that the lizard head found in a Santa Fe chicken salad was an isolated incident, said Ralph Wilmoth, the director of the Johnson County Department of Public Health. "Quite a few people have come in and praised us," she said. "They told us they understand that it was an accident and that they still enjoy Applebee's." declined for a while, public support increased in the weeks following the May 2 incident. After reviewing the company's history and finding no previous violations, and after thorough inspections of the restau rant's facilities and finding nothing "unusual," health-department officials concluded that Applebee's had not committed any infractions that may have caused the incident. "It has been pretty much thoroughly reported that it was a fluke," Wilmoth said. Applebee's general manager Mike Rose declined to comment, saying the matter is "a done issue." The lizard head found in the salad is undergoing tests at the UI Hygienic Laboratory for salmonella, a bacterium that causes food poisoning, and other infectious diseases. Final results have yet to be released. Wilmoth said that in his year-and-a-half tenure as the public-health director, there have been no other incidents such as this, nor does he believe any other incidents like Applebee's have occurred recently at other restaurants in the Iowa City area. Clark said that since the incident -- which was linked to a small fence lizard becoming embedded in a head of lettuce that was cut up for salads — Applebee's has started using pre-cut and pre-cleaned lettuce to prevent further occurrences of this nature, although Wilmoth said he doesn't know if cooking practices have changed at other area restaurants. | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | | :---: | :---: WEDNESDAY,JUNE11,2003 HOROSCOPES THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN =27 If your birthday is this week ...

With proof of KUID 32 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY,JUNE11,2003 LOUNGE: Bella Lounge hopes word of mouth will attract customers, good reputation Zach Straus/Kansan Patrons order drinks from the bar at The Bella Lounge, 925 Iowa St. The recently opened establishment is the only bar in Lawrence that does not allow smoking. JIM BEAM "It's a risk," Farha said. "I have a stack of ashtrays in the back just in case." "It takes a lot of patience," Farha said. "I've been pleasantly surprised." Since opening almost one month ago, Farha has relied on word of mouth to spread the word about the bar. The only advertising the Lounge had was an article in the Journal-World and a story on Channel 27 News. On weekends, the Lounge fills with a crowd that is older than the traditional KU student. Waitress Jessica Wachter, a Lawrence resident, said opening in the summer made it hard to tell whether the lounge would lure college students. Lawrence Mayor David Dunfield said he encouraged restaurants and bars to become smoke-free. Dunfield appointed a six-member task force in April to propose alternatives based on other cities' models. Task force member Peach Madl, owner of the Sandbar, said the committee was compiling information on the pros and cons of smoking bans. Farha said bar owners should be able to choose whether to allow smoking. "I don't want any federal government, state government or municipality to put out a law that says I have to be smoke-free," Farha said. In January, Salina officials banned smoking in restaurants from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Farha is cautiously gauging how the public responds to the non-smoking rule. "In the winter, will people still want to go outside or are we going to lose a lot of business?" Farha questioned. "It's definitely a risk." The Lounge's ethereal interior contrasts with Farha's wood-clad Wheel. Chairs are padded with thick cushions, and the ceiling has wavy artistic touches. "I don't want any federal government, state government or municipality to put out a law that says I have to be smoke-free." Rob Farha Bella Lounge owner Customers are expected to abide by a dress code of no t-shirts or hats. An exception for hats is made on Wednesdays - a day that golfers come out in droves. "We've had people come up who weren't properly dressed in our opinion," Farha said. "They've said, 'No problem.' They turn around and come back 30 minutes later." At 10 p.m. on Friday nights, a deejay and dance floor replaces Sammy Davis Jr.'s golden oldies. Jazz bands perform Saturdays from 9 p.m. to midnight, and Farha said he may schedule solo folk acts in the future. "We're winging it," Farha said. The Bella Lounge is open Monday through Saturday from 4:30 p.m. until 2 a.m. — Edited by Richard Gintowt GRAYSTONE Apartments that fit your lifestyle • Designed with the KU Student in Mind.

Zach Straus/Kansan COURT New prosecutor in Martin case By Annie Bernethy aberneth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Martin's family hired another private attorney to represent the family because the family said the prosecutor was less than forthcoming. The family of slain University of Kansas student Shannon Martin hired a new attorney to assist in the prosecution of her suspected killers. "The prosecutor for the case, Erick Martinas, had misinformed my attorney about the progress of the investigation and the amount of evidence in the case," Jeanette Stauffer, Martin's mother, said. Stauffer said Martínas had promised to keep her and her lawyer informed about the case, but failed to keep that promise. "We were not informed of all the hearings,"she said. Martin Juan Carlos Arce-Charvarría joins American lawyer Pedro Irigonegaray in representing the family. Costa Rican law prevents foreign lawyers from arguing cases before their courts. Hiring a new lawyer means starting almost from scratch. Arce-Charvarrifa, who is located in Costa Rica, must go through all the case evidence and conduct his own interviews. He has until June 24 to further investigate the case. On that day, he must file a new accusation against the suspects. The court will then schedule a preliminary hearing approximately 20 days after it is filed. A trial will likely be set 30 days after the hearing. Although the process adds time to an ending verdict, Staci Wolfe, Martin's sister SEE MARTIN ON PAGE 32 4 2 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2003 Campus Briefs Organization offices move to strengthen accessibility The results of a report on the accessibility of student services have prompted changes in four organizations' office locations. The Student Task Force on Women Students' Needs and the Office of the Provost's Task Force on the Structure and Delivery of Student Services' study suggested that students would benefit more if campus groups were more centralized. The Emily Taylor's Women's Resource Center, the Men's Outreach Program, Nontraditional Student Services and the Lesbian/Bisexual/Gay/Transgender Services will be relocating from Strong Hall to the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. In addition to office relocation, the Student Organizations and the Leadership Development Center will be renamed as the Center for Campus Life starting July 1. The transfer will affect the University Information Center, which will move to the front desk area of the Anschutz Library. Danny Kaiser, director of the Center for Campus Life, said the groups moving to the Kansas Union would be able to contact his office easier because his office is at the same location. "How much better it will be for the Queers and Allies," Kaiser said. "Now their office will be only a few doors down if they need anything." New black-box stage gears up for first musical performance Amy Kelly For the first time in more than 10 years, The University Theatre is producing a fullscale musical for performance in a blackbox theater. A Grand Night for Singing, a review of musical numbers by Rogers and Hammerstein, is slated to open in Murphy Hall's William Inge Memorial Theatre. "It's a series of songs, creating ideas and emotions that string together stages of life," said Caitlin McDonald, assistant director and stage manager. The black-box venue of the Inge Theatre is a thrust stage that allows seats to surround three sides of the stage. Instead of performing the intricate musical routines for one viewing angle, the actors must perform for three different planes of vision. The theater seats 120 people for the musical, while approximately 1,100 seats would be available in the larger Crafton-Preyer Theatre. However, McDonald said the large theater did not usually fill, and any loss from the decreased number of seats would probably be balanced by the smaller set production and orchestra ensemble in the blackbox theater. "The intense musical experience in the black box is much more impressive than a big flashy stage and more seats." McDonald said. A Grand Night for Singing opens at 7:30 p.m. on June 20. — Samia Khan, special to the Kansan Associate professor named as interim dean for one year Thomas Heilke, associate professor of political science, has been named the interim associate dean of international programs at the University of Kansas. Heilke will serve as dean during the 2003- 04 academic year. "This is an exciting opportunity to do positive things at the University and in the department," Heilke said. Heilke replaces Paul D'Anieri, who has accepted the position of director of Russian and East European studies at the University. Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school and international programs offered the position to Heilke. During his interim year, Heilke will help prepare a review of the best practices in international education at the University. The report will provide direction for the associate dean to expand international activities throughout the University and capitalize on the University's international resources. Heilke holds a doctoral degree from Duke University and studied in Berlin. His research areas include political theory, international relations and Canadian studies. He served as director of graduate studies in political science at the University from 1997 to 2001. The June 11 University Daily Kansan contained errors.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 3 TRANSPORTATION Commission approves student bus program By Ehren Meditz emeditz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Lawrence City Commission approved a proposal 4-0 yesterday to allow KU bus riders access to the Lawrence Transit System, or T, bus routes for a one-time fee. The proposal aims to increase student ridership on the T through the selling of "T-Passes." The fifth commissioner, Sue Hack, was out of town and did not vote. A T-Pass is a sticker that can be purchased and placed on the KU on Wheels bus pass for unlimited access to the public bus route beginning this fall. "It works for the greater good of both organizations," said Tim Akright, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels. He said that increasing ridership on existing T bus routes would improve the efficiency of future KU bus routes by changing the routes that overlapped. Now that the proposal has been approved, its proponents hope to have a program in place for the fall semester. The T-Pass sticker would cost $20 and be valid for the entire school year. Unlimited access T bus passes cost $17 a month, so the University is only charging a very small fee Akright said. "I'm having a hard time seeing any downside to this," Mayor David Dunfield said at yesterday's meeting. "I think this looks like a win-win situation," Commissioner David Schauner said. For more information, call KU on Wheels at 864-4644. — Edited by Annie Bernethy TRANSPORTATION New electric bus heading to Kansas City for testing By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Kansas City, Mo., will be one of the first homes for an experimental electric transit bus that could reduce fuels consumption by 80 percent. The Kansas City Area Transit Authority will begin test driving the first 30-foot, hybrid bus, with passengers, in 14 to 18 months, said Karl Birns, project director and KU professor of environmental studies A University of Kansas research team, headed by Glen Marotz and Dennis Lane. environmental engineering professors, will test the bus' fuel economy and emissions. "Our motivation is to produce a vehicle that is a commercial success, with fuel and emissions as low as possible," Marotz said. "It must be commercially viable or there's no reason to build it." The bus in Kansas City will be one of two in the On-Grid Hybrid Electric Bus Project. The other project will be in New York. The bus will run primarily on electricity powered by batteries plugged into the Kansas City Power and Light Co. power grid. It can run for 20 to 30 miles, and will include a backup diesel engine in case the bus must travel further, climb hills or use the air conditioner. The KU research team will test the bus's fuel economy using a dynamometer, a stationary highway that runs the bus like a treadmill. They will also use a remote sensing device with an infrared beam to test tail-pipe emissions. This type of bus differs from hybrid vehicles that use gas engines to recharge the battery. The on-grid bus is plugged in overnight to keep the battery charged. The goal of the project is to prove this idea works so the bus can be mass-produced, said Andra Michel, a project manager for the Electronic Power Research Institute in California. The EPRI first proposed the bus in New York City more than three years ago. With successful testing, the on-grid hybrid buses could reach full-scale production in four years.

I write about life and travel. With the summer beginning Saturday and many of the more than 26,000 students from the University of Kansas gone from Lawrence for the season, entertaining activities can be elusive. Drew Baranowski, Overland Park senior, is taking nine hours this summer but still finds time to head to Lake Perry on the weekends with his girlfriend and buddies. "We have American Gladiator-esque battles on inner tubes," Baranowski said. Jill MacDonald, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, senior, lounges by the pool as she reads from her managerial accounting textbook. MacDonald said school was difficult to concentrate on during the summer. Baranowski also enjoys going out to the bars in Lawrence during the summer. This summer is his third in Lawrence and he prefers bars now more than any other season, he said. Brandon Baker/Kansan "There are no 18-year-olds trying to get into the bars," he said. "It's more laid back." Bonnie Besserer, Dallas senior, said she was busy with nine hours of school but she SEE ACTIVITIES ON PAGE 5 O La Prima Tazza Serving Lawrence since 1990 Experience Counts!

JBS 1 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 5 ACTIVITIES: Students find summer fun CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 did not miss out on much during the day. "My friends mostly lie around the pool doing nothing productive," Besserer said. When she does get a chance to head out for the weekend the Hawk or Jet Lag Lounge tend to be the destination she ends up at, although she always hopes for something new. "I'm sick of doing the same thing," she said. Besserer said she went out about twice a week, more than during the rest of the year, and that the Hawk was "the place to be and be seen" in the summer. Jennifer Baldo, Chicago senior, said there was not as much going on in the summer and that affected her motivation to get summer school work done. "If my classes were in the fall, I'd do a lot better," Baldo said. Baldo and Besserer do not have jobs to occupy their free time like Jason Gray, Kansas City, Mo., junior. Gray spends his time out of his summer class working full time for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. When he isn't there, he works on his flower farm until dark. Gray is positive about the possibilities of finding entertainment in Lawrence. "Lawrence is the only place in Kansas I "My friends mostly lie around the pool doing nothing productive." Bonnie Besserer Dallas senior would live," Gray said. The college town atmosphere gives Lawrence a different caliber of people than the rest of Kansas, he said. Caitlin Schutz, Overland Park freshman, doesn't have a job, but said she studies all the time. "We don't party much," Schutz said. She takes an English course as part of the Freshman Summer Institute at the University and looks forward to unwinding in Lewis Hall with movies, pizza and a board game or two. So whether the pool, work, a rented movie or the lake beckons this summer, residents like Baranowski said the song remained the same no matter what the season. "Summer school's kind of a pain in the ass," he said. —Edited by Ehren Meditz No cigarettes in bars means crowds of smokers outside The Associated Press NEW YORK — Eleven weeks after the city snuffed out smoking in bars and restaurants, few people are lighting up inside. At night, Jen Davis is forced to walk her two dogs down the middle of Ludlow Street, where apartments are sandwiched above and between dance clubs and other nightspots. Instead, many smokers have taken the party to the street, annoying neighbors with noise, litter and clouds of smoke. On Manhattan's Lower East Side, the sidewalks that years ago were lined with sleeping drunks are now clogged with packs of smokers who flock to the trendy neighborhood bars that popped up after the area got a facelift. Nearby along Essex Street, frustrated neighbors have been known to dump water on noisy smokers outside bars below. “It's annoying because there's just tons of people out and you can't get through the sidewalks, and it's loud," Davis said. "There's like cigarette butts everywhere — it's a mess." Bar owners say smokers rarely light up inside now and are generally agreeable when told to take it outdoors. One nightclub bouncer was stabbed to death when he tried to enforce the ban two weeks after it began, police said. City health department officials said they issued 57 smoking ban violations from May 1, when they began issuing citations, until May 23, the latest date figures are available. The ban went into effect March 30 but allowed a grace period for businesses to learn the law. Most citations related to a lack of nosmoking signs. The penalties range from $200 to more than $1,000 for multiple offenses. MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE 42.9 OZ., ORIGINAL ONLY 3 99 EA. PRICES GOOD JUNE 18 THRU JUNE 24, 2003 THURSDAY SPECIAL BANANAS 19¢ LB.

It's one of many subtle differences between the United States and this country, which is located in the middle of Europe and bordered by France, Germany, Luxembourg and Holland. COMMENTARY Henry C. Jackson editor@hansan.com The waffle, aside from being a utilitarian confection that people here munch on for breakfast, lunch, dessert and occasionally dinner, also is a subtle illustration of the chasm between the United States and Belgium. Americans take pride in many things - their flag, their athletics, their particular breed of democracy and, for some (though not this columnist), their regime changing and nation building. But, alas, nothing as simple and pleasurable as a waffle. See, Belgium might be small, but it's a prideful nation too. And waffles, love them or leave them, are one of this nation's great successes. Want a quick test? Ask the next person you see what the first that pops into their mind is when you say "Belgium" or "Belgian." There's a lot more that Americans should know about Belgium than waffles. Belgium, for instance, is the center of the increasingly united and powerful European Union and the home of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's central command, of which the United States is one of the its most important members. Culturally, Belgium is, though often overshadowed by its neighbors France and Germany, among the best destinations in Europe for cuisine, art, ambiance and beer. Belgian chocolate is, debatably, the best in Europe - though the Swiss might argue. And, well, Belgians swear French fries were born there, too. Belgians maintain that frites, as fries are referred to in French-speaking countries, were not invented by the French. Though the potato was popularized by, among others, the Irish and Antoine August Parmentier—a confirmed Frenchman—the story goes that it was, in fact, a Belgian who first made the fateful drop of potato into boiling a vat of fat. It's Belgium and Europe's stance on another high cholesterol issue, the role of the Western nations in the rebuilding of Iraq, which gives pause, however. Much has been made of the so-called lack of loyalty to the United States shown by European countries such as Germany and France. Some Belgians even used an obscure Belgian law to file a war crimes complaint against U.S. General Tommy Franks. Living in Belgium, you can tell it takes a lot to rile up the masses. This country's passivity and lack of action are the stuff of legend and the butt of many a joke. So, however frivolous, the war crimes charges brought against Franks, they are an important reminder that the United States has severely damaged its relations in Europe. But why care about Europe? For starters, because the United States needs all the help it can get. The United States seems to have only two types of friends these days: Those who agree with everything they say (Britain being the biggest) and those who it fears not having --- CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE WEDNESDAY,JUNE 18,2003 OPINION THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7 Get smashed squirrels off Lawrence streets Guts are gross. Earlier this year, I got the pleasure of passing by a squished squirrel every day on my way home from class. I watched for weeks as hundreds of tires mercilessly mashed the parts of his body. I repeatedly told myself to take a different route tomorrow, but 24 hours later I'd undoubtedly forget. The image of squirrel and pavement uniting as one had long subsided. The trauma continued. COMMENTARY Megan Schwerdt editor@kansan.com Whv are squirrels' run-over bodies left behind in the streets for us, the community, to enjoy? Does the city, for some ungodly reason, think that we are amused by these fresh-to-flattened carcasses? I realize that birds, bees and enough road kill to feed two starving countries come with good weather, but spare us the daily gore. Why are squirrels' runover bodies left behind for us, the community, to enjoy? Does the city, for some ungodly reason, think that we are amused by these fresh-to-flattened carcasses? According to Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department, the Lawrence Sanitation Department responds to calls dispatched by police who come across road kill as a traffic hazard. So unless it's Godzilla's guts that are blocking the road, no one is really too concerned. As for dog and cat victims, there seems to be no priority pick-up for pets. However, we don't see their lifeless bodies hanging out on the side of the road for weeks at a time. Hmm. Maybe I'm being over-sensitive. I guess it is possible that some folks don't even think twice when innocent intestines are strewn over two lanes of traffic, but I'm offended. If someone is trying to teach a lesson of 'life is short' or 'look both ways', it's not working. Guts are not profound and do not in any way make me feel good about myself.

BELGIUM: Columnist wades in waffles CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE (adamantly antiwar Russia). What makes this selectivity troubling is that the United States is being picky about its allies as it builds toward an impossibly difficult task: building the first Arab democracy. There are also other political issues at stake. The United States sets a dangerous precedent by not valuing the opinion of other countries - especially countries with established social order and free democracies like France, Germany and Belgium. In the game of foreign policy, the United States is essentially saying it doesn't need checks and balances. If the United States persists with this attitude it will eventually run out of the goodwill it has built in Europe. As the world's leading military power and the most recognizable democracy, the United States should be the first nation to acknowledge that expressing opinions is tantamount to making the right call. Even if those opinions come from nations that are hung up on waffles and the origin of French fries. It's too bad. Jackson is a Long Valley, M.J., junior in journalism.

Contributed photo Ryan Jones, left, and Patrick Rea, both University of Kansas film graduates, are the primary writers editors and filmmakers behind SenoReality Pictures. The duo posted more than 20 of their films on their Web site, www.senoreality.com, launched last year. By Amy Kelly akelly@kansan.com Kansan staff writer For Patrick Rea and Ryan Jones, KU film graduates, making movies does not require a backdrop of the Hollywood Hills — the Granada Theatre will do just fine. While some film graduates buy plane tickets to Los Angeles, the duo has decided to cultivate their craft in Lawrence. "I think that the Midwest has become fertile ground now," Rea said. "People are sick of L.A. For all we know, maybe we're starting something new out here and we don't even realize it." Last Saturday, Topeka's television station KTWU featured many of Rea and Jones' films on the show Studio One. Getting recognized by a station like KTWU had been a product of Rea and Jones' non-stop filmmaking since 2000. Since meeting at the University, the duo has rarely taken a break from filmmaking. Rather than making films for themselves, Rea and Jones decided to expose the public to the 20-plus films they have made over the years. In March 2002, the team created SenoReality Pictures, a venture that includes a Web site featuring many of the filmmakers' downloadable films. Rea and Jones said although they learned essential filmmaking techniques at the University, their projects have been more the result of independent learning. "We got a lot of support from the teachers, but we had some of our own equipment," said Rea, who said that he was not disappointed by the University's film program. "What you'll learn at KU is the theory, the history and the aesthetics behind filmmaking," Jacobson said. "On a set in Los Angeles or New York they'll teach you how to load a camera, but they won't teach you about montage or Alfred Hitchcock." Matt Jacobson, asistant professor of film, said the University offered information that would not be readily available working for a major studio. For one of the duo's recent films, Cellular, the team looked to KU Filmworks for access to film equipment that they would not have been able to use otherwise. KU Filmworks is a university organization dedicated to helping students become more acquainted with the filmmaking process. When it comes to most of SenoReality productions, however, Rea and Jones create everything from the script to the sound effects of rustling leaves. Those differences come together when the two toss around ideas for plots, which are often on the unusual side. Jones said audiences may not like the odder SenoReality films, but that was not the goal anyway. The two excel in specific areas: Rea is primarily the writer and editor, while Jones is the special effects and sound man. "You'll always remember how weird and twisted they are," Jones said. The titles give some insight into the uniqueness of the team's films. In Search of Inflata Boy takes viewers on a hunt for a dangerous beast wearing waterwings, while Mime Away advertises a product that disposes of, well, pesky mimes. Jones said a huge bank account was not necesity. "In Search of Inflata Boy" cost them less than $7 - the cost of the digital video tape. The biggest challenge was devoting plenty of time, Rea said. "We had no social life," Rea said. "We just kept making films like an assembly line and we're still doing it." — Edited by Jennifer Wellington BUDGET SHORTAGE Humane society donations slow, strays increase By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Lawrence Humane Society is filled with cats and dogs desperate to find a new home. However, workers at the shelter are feeling a sense of desperation of their own. Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said that because other shelters in the region had been closing, its shelter had been getting more animals. Grinstead also said that donations, which make up more than half of the shelter's $600,000 annual budget, were decreasing because of economic trouble. Last year, donations dropped by $64,000. "We're still doing everything,but it's wearing the staff down," Grinstead said. "We're scrimping on the things we can and the staff has been purchasing stuff on their own. We're lucky. They donate overtime. They're really going above and beyond." The shelter, covered with paw prints at 1805 E. 19th St., began adding on a second building two years ago, just before the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. After the tragedy, people stopped donating as much to the shelter. The second building was supposed to cost $400,000, but the building process encountered numerous problems, such as a fire and pipe damage, and needed an additional $50,000 to complete it, Grinstead said. Grinstead is unable to hire any more full-time positions. The 10 full-time workers that ran the original building now have "We all have to eat, sleep, and drink the shelter," Grinstead said. "None of us have a life. We can't call in sick, we're here every day of the year." to run the additional building as well. To make matters worse, summer vacation has come for KU students, and with it comes another wave of forgotten pets. "When the students leave town, a lot of them leave their pets because they can't take them home with them," said Erica Hegeman, an employee at the shelter. A large percentage of school-year volunteers were students leaving town for the summer, Grinstead said. The shelter has several fundraisers planned during the summer that make up the bulk of its donations. The Humane Society will host the Picnic at 11 a.m. July 26 outside PETCO,3115 Iowa St. It will include a barbecue and dog washes. The Pawsible Dream, the shelter's annual auction, will start at 6 p.m. on Sept. 26. It will be held at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., and will include both a silent and a live auction, plus food and entertainment. The Dog Days Carnival will be on Aug. 9, but time and location have not been determined. The shelter always accepts volunteers. It also needs supplies, such as dog and cat food, paper towels and bleach.

There were no reports of injuries or property damage in the fire near Carson City. The Nevada Division of Forestry reported yesterday evening the fire was 85 percent contained and expected to be fully contained by this morning. The fire in central Arizona was within a half-mile of homes in an 4,500-acre area about three miles north of Cherry, officials said. In the eastern part of the state, a 10,618-acre fire about 15 miles from Alpine controlled on yesterday. In Alaska, a 10,000-acre fire burned through the Goodpaster Valley southeast of Fairbanks, threatening a handful of recreational cabins. The Associated Press Warmemorial receives funding KOREAN WAR University accepts donation for memorial, looks back at war heroes with ties to campus By Ehren Meditz emeditz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Chancellor Robert Hemenway will accept a $30,000 donation today to help fund the creation of a Korean War memorial. The gift from Yong L. Kim, a native of South Korea and Kansas City, Mo., businessman, is the first major donation to the fund since the idea's inception several years ago. The University has memorials for both World Wars and the Vietnam War, but not the Korean War. "It is the missing link," said Jeff Weinberg, special assistant to the chancellor. Weinberg said 60 people affiliated with the University died in the war. He said the University wanted a Korean memorial for several years, but a variety of efforts used to raise money were unsuccessful Weinberg said the University raised about $5,000 for the memorial before "As a Korean, I would like to help and appreciate those who served, not necessarily just KU students." Yong L. Kim Kansas City, Mo., businessman Kim's gift. Portions of last year's KU football ticket sales,totaling $1,700,went to the fund.The cost of the memorial is estimated to be between $100,000 and $300,000. "We're still a long way from $300,000, but we could build one for $100,000," he said. "We're just hoping we can have it completed within the next year or two." Kim said he wanted to help when he first heard about the project. "I read in a newspaper that they couldn't raise the money," Kim said. "Then I talked with my son, Jay, to find out what was going on." Although Yong is not an alumnus of the University, his son, Jay, is a KU graduate. He said his gratitude extended beyond the names on the proposed memorial. "As a Korean, I would like to help and appreciate those who served, not necessarily just KU students." Yong said. Provost David Shulenburger will meet with the KU Korean Association in Seoul tomorrow, as part of a week-long trip in Eastern Asia. John Scarffe of Kansas University Endowment Association said he hoped a donation would be made there as well. The University plans to erect the memorial along Memorial Drive by Potter Lake along with a tablet that provides information on the Korean War. The last memorial built on campus, the Vietnam Memorial, was a student initiative, Weinberg said. - Edited by Annie Bernethy For more information on donating to the memorial fund, call Jerome Davies vice president for development at the Endowment Association, at 832-7460.

World War II sculptures and an air parade are just some of the activities planned for the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics dedication next month. Bill Howell, assistant dedication coordinator, said 50,000 to 100,000 people were expected to attend the three-day dedication and planners had created an abundance of events for all tastes and interests. "The events give people choices and alternatives with what they want to see during the dedication," Howell said. More than 50 World War II veterans will speak in an air-conditioned "Memory Tent" in front of the Lied Center throughout the weekend in July. "It was important to Senator Dole to invite veterans to the dedication at the expense of the Dole Institute," Howell said. Four Medal of Honor recipients will recount their experiences during the war in the tent. Twelve other medal holders will be in attendance. Marine veterans who helped develop a secret code based on the Navajo language will speak along with members of the Doolittle Raiders, Tuskegee Airmen, and the Women Air Force Service Pilots. On the other side of campus, more than 20 World War II planes will fly over Memorial Stadium and the Campanile on July 21. “It's important to note that the stadium honors veterans from the first World War," Howell said. "And the Campanile recognizes World War II veterans." Howell said the air parade was a way to recognize the men and women who flew during the wars and the importance of air combat. The planes will be available for viewing at the Lawrence Municipal Airport as early as July 20. Inside the Dole Institute, miniature replicas of sculptures crafted by Lawrence artist Jim Brothers will feature five-star general Oar Bradley, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and soldiers on the beaches in Normandy, France. Events for the dedication also include a fashion show featuring the 1940s clothing style of both men and women, an evening of dancing to the Glenn Miller Orchestra and an outdoor band concert by the 312th Army Band. While the dedication committee expects a large number of veterans in attendance during the weekend, it wants people of all ages to take part in the activities as well, Howell said. "Our message is simple: Don't forget. This generation, as Tom Brokaw put it in his book, is the greatest generation," Howell said. "We want the youth to know about the sacrifices they made." Dedication events will start at 7 p.m., July 19, in the Memory Tent. — Edited by Saju Ng'alla NATION All women's college to change 132-year-old constitutional tradition NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — Students at Smith College, a 132-year-old women's college, are lowering the gender barrier ever so slightly. The student body voted at the end of the semester to replace the pronouns "she" and "her" with "the student" in the student constitution to cover people who are transgendered — a term that refers to cross-dressers, hermaphrodites and transsexuals, or those who have surgically changed their sex. Smith does not keep track of the number of transgendered students that are on campus. But as far as the administration knows, the gender barrier at the college has not been broken yet by a woman changed into a man. Half of Smith's 2,600 students voted, and the measure passed by 50 votes. The Associated Press BROTHERS Est. 1967 BAR & GRILL 1105 Mass. Lawrence, KS Calculate This!

Their reunion show is June 21 at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. By Amy Kelly akelle@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Danger Bob may have enjoyed its pinnacle of success in the mid-'90s, but younger music fans have a chance this weekend to hear the band croon about eternal truths such as the dangers of flashing your lights at passing cars and the melodrama of MTV's The Real World. Two years have passed since the poppunk band with a taste for sarcasm played together, but Danger Bob will reunite this Saturday at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire. Despite charming crowds over its seven-year run with songs like "The Hook," "Real World Me" and "Jesus Christo," Danger Bob was snubbed by major labels like Maverick, now home to Madonna. "They said that they were afraid of our songs' subjects and that the catchiest ones were probably too offensive for radio," guitarist Andy Morton said. "I thought that was funny coming out of the mouth of someone from Madonna's label." With the hopes of signing a record deal decreasing, bassist Jason Lovell said the band knew the 1999 record Girls of the Big 12 would be its last. "We were playing the same songs over and over again," Lovell said. "We weren't conquering new territory." The band members now work day jobs in insurance accounting and freelance photography, but fans haven't forgotten them. "There's just something strange about our fan base," Morton said. "They were intense. I know someone who is flying up from Illinois to see this show." Lovell said he had not heard any bands in Lawrence recently that ventured into the strange dimensions Danger Bob dwelled in. "I wouldn't think there's anybody around that did something stupid like we did," Lovell said. "We put out double cassettes, a Christmas album and books." Jessica Julich, Raytown, Mo., senior said her first concert in Lawrence was a "When I think back to Danger Bob shows, I chuckle," Julich said. "Those guys were just a lot of fun. I even bought a pink Danger Bob lighter." Danger Bob show. Audiences revisited the wackiness two years ago with Danger Bob at the band's first reunion. The performance went so well that Morton had a hard time convincing vocalist Karl Michelbach to participate in the upcoming gigs. "I said to Karl, I'm coming down to Kansas City, I'm taking you out, I'm getting you drunk and at the end of the night you will give in," Morton said. "I think he was already drunk when I got there, so it wasn't the best tactic for him to use — I had him within a half hour." Although drummer Kenny Gall lives in Austin, Texas, he accepted the musical proposition. But in order for him to rejoin the band full-time, Gall said Lawrence needed to resuscitate the local music show from the old days of 105.9 The Lazer. "We had an audience anywhere in the Lazer listening area — Topeka, Emporia Kansas City," Gall said. "It wouldn't be like that anymore. The infrastructure for supporting our band and a lot of other bands is gone." Danger Bob will spill out some old classics along with new tunes. Crowds can expect a mystery special guest on the bill along with a range of memorabilia on sale at the concert. The band's memoir, Increididumb: From Wannabes to Has Beens The Danger Bob Story, will also be sold the night of the show. The band will also play a show on Friday at Kansas City, Mo.'s, Hurricane located in Westport at 4048 Broadway. Tickets will be available at the door for both events. Even though Danger Bob is no more, Morton said that the fans' unrelenting enthusiasm still awed him. "It's kind of humbling," Morton said. "It's amazing that people are that dedicated to local bands. I hope that other local bands have a fan base like that." —Edited by Richard Gintowt BUSINESS Best Buy opening draws crowd, local attention By Richard Gintowt rgintowt@ku.edu Kansan staff writer Best Buy's opening on Friday the 13th brought no bad luck to the electronics superstore, but local retailers are waiting to see if they can say the same. More than 12,000 customers shuffled through the doors of the new 30,000 square-foot store at 31st and Iowa Streets during its grand opening weekend. Meanwhile, local retailers hope consumers don't forget about them. "We're hoping they don't put too big of a dent in us," said Torry Crass, service manager of Hometown Service and Upgrades. located just a few blocks from Best Buy at 2540 Iowa St. in the Tower Plaza. Crass said the store, which specializes in custom-built computers and repairs, would probably take its biggest hit in computer parts sales, but would remain competitive by offering personalized customer service. John Kiefer, owner of Kief's Audio/Video at 2429 Iowa St., said he welcomed the addition of a Best Buy to Lawrence because it would give his customers an opportunity to comparison shop. "We have a lot of repeat customers who come to us because we're a small local business," Crass said. "A lot of people shop at chain stores because they think buying bulk equates to discounts, but it's not true," Keifer said. "Our challenge is to make sure they get a look at us to compare instead of blindly buying from Best Buy." Keifer said the businesses most likely to lose sales were ones that carried similar products, such as Radio Shack, Target and Wal-Mart. Ed Mullins, city finance director, said it would be difficult to tell whether Best Buy would bring Lawrence more tax dollars. "Some of those dollars would have come from other stores in the community." Mullins said. Erin MacMillan, Best Buy spokeswoman, said Lawrence was a good location because it was a high traffic area with a limited number of electronics retailers. One shopper that didn't make it to Best Buy's grand opening is Mike Russell, assistant manager of the IHOP restaurant across the street. Russell had to work all weekend. "I've been dying to get over there and check it out," he said. "I'm a big electronics fan and that's going to be my favorite spot now." The newly opened Best Buy will employ 130 full- and part-time workers. Best Buy has 550 stores in 48 states and plans to open 60 new locations this year. —Edited by Ehren Meditz WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 13 Eddie Vedder, lead singer for Pearl Jam, opens the Kansas City show with "Release." Pearl Jam played through the rain Thursday night to 7,853 soaked fans. Brandon Baker/Kansan CONCERTS Rain-soaked fans rock to Pearl Jam repertoire By Brandon Baker bbaker@kansan.com Kansan staff writer As the clouds burst over Pearl Jam's performance at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, rain-soaked tickets shoved deep into fans' pockets still clearly read, "Rain or Shine." Four hours of near-torrential downpour could not keep the flood of fans away. Pearl Jam stopped in Kansas last Thursday while touring to promote its seventh release on Epic Records, Riot Act. Water-logged fans welcomed Pearl Jam back for its fourth concert in Kansas City, but only 7,853 people came to the18,000 capacity venue. The band began touring in 1991 with the Red Hot Chili Peppers shortly after the release of its debut album, Ten. Sheets of rain could not make decadelong fan Gavon Laessig, University of Kansas graduate, leave his tenth-row seat. "The rain added a dramatic element to the show with lightning streaking across the sky," said Laessig, who is member of the band's "Ten Club." "It forced a camaraderie with the band." Laessig said he thought Pearl Jam was impressed with the crowd's tenacity and preformed exceptionally well. The 22-song set was short in comparison to the 30-song sets listed on the band's Web site. Wichita resident John Martin said he had been a fan since he first saw the Alive video when he was 17. Martin said the rain put a damper on the evening, but did not affect the band's performance. "It wasn't the best show, given the elements, but they were in touch with the crowd," Martin said. The Kansas City show, like all the others from its current tour, is available at www.pearljambootlegs.com. —Edited by Richard Gintowt Academic Computing Services free computing workshops All workshops are FREE for KU students, staff and faculty, but REQUIRE registration for everyone.

Steven K. Hedden, who earned a bachelor's, master's and doctorate degree in music education at the University, will begin his position as dean July 1. Hedden comes from Wichita State University, where he had served as dean of fine arts since 2002. Though Hedden said his friendly faculty at Wichita State made it hard to leave, he was excited for the opportunity at the University's fine arts department. "There were many reasons I chose to come back to KU," he said. "Not only is it my alma mater, but I have the opportunity to return to a fine arts program that is nationally regarded." He is a strong supporter of the University's music education program. He said when he was a student, the program provided him with "outstanding career choices." But students on the visual communications side of the school are concerned that their programs will be ignored. Jennifer Knight, Hutchinson senior and graphic design student, said many design students were concerned with the lack of funding their program received. In October 2001, a group of students petitioned for more full-time staff, classes that didn't overlap in students' schedules and more working computer equipment. "Just last semester we got new desks," she said. "The desks we had before were so old and had cracks on the top. We couldn't even draw straight lines." "I've seen some improvements over the last semester," Knight said. "But I don't know where the money came from." Former dean of fine arts, Toni-Marie Montgomery, had a strong background in music, like Hedden. She left her position at the end of the spring semester to become dean of music at Northwestern University. Hedden's similar emphasis in music doesn't worry Knight, though. "A lot of my teachers were on the search committee and they all thought he was a A. M. M. A. Hedden good candidate," she said. "They said he had a liking for all the arts." education. Hedden said he saw strength in the dance, art and design programs and was looking forward to balancing those programs with his background in music "I've worked at universities for the last 10 years that combined music programs with art and design and theater," he said. "I enjoy working with all the arts." After receiving his bachelor's degree in 1964, Hedden became an elementary and secondary school music teacher in DeSoto public schools from 1964 to 1969. He was a University instructor from 1970-71 and at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1971-72. Hedden served as an instructor and as chair of the music education department at the University of Iowa and served as of vice dean of fine arts at the University of Arizona before accepting the dean position at Wichita State. Hedden said he would approach his new position by first taking ideas from the faculty and leaders of the department. "They know the strengths of the department and the areas needing attention," he said. "It's important not to come in with a vision to impose." Hedden was one of five candidates that traveled to the University last semester as part of the search for a new fine arts dean. The search committee, which consisted of 14 members, looked for a combination of academic credentials, administrative experience, communication skills and high leadership skills, said John Gaunt, committee chairman and dean of architecture. "Hedden measured up to what we were looking for," Guant said. "His enthusiasm and high credentials made him an excellent candidate." Hedden's areas of interest include psychology of music, behavioral research in music, foundations of music education and curriculum development in music. — Edited by Saju Ng'alla WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN - 15 M. W. Baldwin House Zach Straus/Kansan The Pink House, once a local music venue, no longer hosts any shows. Property owners disallowed any bands from playing in the residence after learning about the situation in an article run about the house in the Lawrence Journal-World. MUSIC Pink House shut down as live concert venue By Annie Bernethy aberneth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Pink House concerts are no more. A group of friends who worked to promote local bands, the Pink House usually held concerts once or twice a month in their house for more than a year. However, when the property owners saw an article in the Lawrence Journal-World on venues last month,the promptly put the Pink House out of the concert business. The tenants at 1131 Tennessee St. were not evicted, but Property Management Services asked them not to hold shows at the house, said Peter Berard, a Pink House resident. "Somehow, the city got involved because we can't have a commercial venture in a residential area," Berard said. Luke Wetzel, Westwood senior and Lawrence.com writer, wrote the article that caused the shutdown and said he regretted the outcome. "I wouldn't have written it," he said. "I think there was a false assumption that everyone already knew about it." "I'm sure those guys will continue to be involved," he said. "They have a lot of talent and a lot of enthusiasm for what they do and we would all like to see them continue." If they do continue, they will need a new place to do so. Wetzel's article was not the first to recognize the Pink House. References to the house were made in both Spin magazine and in The Pitch Weekly, which published its article last June. Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal, said the concerts held at the house were a public safety concern. "The use of the house goes beyond residential," he said. "It becomes a true public assembly use." The fire department can shut down events at the house if the exits are found to be inadequate. Because it is a residence, the Pink House does not have an official capacity load, but events can be stopped if the exits are blocked, Barr said. City codes can also be problematic for residents of the house. When the building is used as a place of public assembly, noise, trash, parking, zoning, environmental and building codes could all be potential problems said Barry Walthall, manager of the code enforcement division of Lawrence. For now, local music fans will have to find other venues where they can hear their favorite bands. People interested in the local music scene can visit lawrencerock.com for a list of venues and local bands. —Edited by Ehren Meditz CORK BARREL WINE AND SPIRITS Summer Specials! 2000 W 23rd 331-4242 3514 Clinton Pkwy. 841-8778 6-01-03 thru 7-30-03 LIQUOR SPECIALS Jose Cuervo Liters $18.99 Knobb Creek Burbon 750 ml $16.99 Scoresby Scotch 1.75 L $17.99 Bacardi Rum Silver & Gold 1.75 L $19.99 Beefeater Gin 1.75 L $25.99 Smirnoff 80 Proof 1.75 L $15.99 Crown Royal 750 ml $19.99 Captain Morgan ORIGINAL SPICEDRUM 1.75 L $17.99 BEER SPECIALS Pabst Blue Ribbon 12 pk. cans $5.49 Miller Light 30 pk. cans $15.99 Odell Brewery 6pk. $4.99 Smirnoff Ice 12pk. $10.99 Boulevard Pale Ale & Unfiltered Wheat 12pk. $9.99 Bass Ale 12pk. $9.99 WINE SPECIALS SUTTER HOME WINERY 750ml All Flavors $3.99 Kendall Jackson Chardonnay KENDALL JACKSON $9.99 WOODBRIDGE 15L All Flavors $9.99 CORK & BARREL WINE AND SPIRITS S Summer Specials! ummer Specials!

JOBS Students head outside for work Many look for ways to escape dull, sunless jobs By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Many students have to work year-round to cover expenses, but, with summer's lighter class load and nicer weather, outdoor jobs are available to those with a fear of fluorescent lighting. Lauren Mosimann, Topeka graduate, is employed full time as a lifeguard at Lawrence Country Club. She said she had always worked outside in the summer because she loved the sun. "I hate working inside," Mosimann said. "It's depressing to be inside when it's so nice out." Cheryl White, representative of the "I hate working inside. It's depressing to be inside when it's so nice out." Lauren Mosimann Topeka graduate Lawrence Workforce Center, which offers free job search services, said students came to her office as early as March and as late as last week looking for summer employment. White said the sluggish economy was the reason more students were staying in Lawrence for the summer. When students are unable to find work in their hometowns, they stay in student-friendly Lawrence, she said. White said there were usually more employment opportunities in the summer because many businesses hired seasonal help. She said KU students competed against high-school students and students from Haskell Indian Nations University for summer jobs. She said the keys to finding a good job were to look early, be flexible and always leave a resume. The city offers students numerous possibilities to enjoy the pleasant climate while making a living.

She said she and the other counselors supervised about 20 children and educated them about animals and nature. "We bring in live animals and teach the kids about them," Knudson said. "We take walks on the nature trails every day." Birrell said students studying science often had the perfect background to be counselors at the science camp. She said she looked for students who had been campers themselves to be counselors at the more fun-oriented adventure camp where outdoor skills were important. "I'm astounded at the number of applications we get from KU students every year," Birrell said. —Edited by Ehren Meditz 18 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS IN BRIEF WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2003 STATE Proposed ice cap trip may have saved professor's life LAWRENCE — A planned trip to the polar ice cap may have saved one University of Kansas professor's life. But after a bypass surgery, Prasad Gogineni, electrical engineering and computer science professor, will have his students take the trip without him. LAWRENCE LONDON WASHINGTON ACCRA KUALA LUMPUR A blockage was found in one of Gogineni's arteries during a physical exam the National Science Foundation required him to take before a planned trip to Greenland. He had bypass surgery last month and will miss the trip to test a set of icemeasuring radar he pioneered. Gogineni's group is studying whether the melting of polar ice caps is part of long-term global warming or part of natural fluctuations in climate over time. About 30 students and staff members and seven faculty members will take the trip without Gogineni. The trip, which runs from June 23 to July 19, will be the first of several planned in Greenland and Antarctica over the next three years. School librarian receives approval to purchase comics STERLING — Spider-Man and Star Wars aren't the usual titles schools try to get kids to read. But after deciding that she would do anything to get more kids to read, school district librarian Amy Brownlee decided to pursue the books. Brownlee's unique application to the Kansas Library Network Board was approved, granting her $825 to buy about 50 "graphic novels" - in essence, thick comic books with lots of narration - in an attempt to appease students who are visual learners. Eric Hansen, executive director of the Kansas Library Network Board, said he thought the graphic novels would draw more young readers into libraries. There's some precedent to suggest the plan will work. Massachusetts librarian Stephen Weiner saw a 42 percent increase in circulation after placing graphic novels on his shelves. Westar asks former executives to return salaries and bonuses TOPEKA—Westar Energy Inc. wants two former top executives to repay their salaries and bonuses since 1998, and is seeking a freeze on their assets. Total money involved in the dispute between Westar and former executives David Wittig and Douglas Lake is about $100 million. In documents filed Friday, the Topekabased energy company also wants payment for actual and punitive damages, personal use of corporate aircraft and the cost of an internal investigation. "Throughout their employment, Wittig and Lake engaged in self-dealing, schemes and transactions focused on their personal enrichment over the best interests of the company, engaged in and permitted waste of corporate assets and defrauded the company and the board," the company said in papers filed with the American Arbitration Association. Westar is trying to prove that contracts with the former executives that grant them severance pay and other benefits should not be honored. Wittig and Lake, Westar said, breached their fiduciary responsibilities as documented in an internal investigation released in May. Marion County a disaster area due to dangerous algae TOPEKA — The state has declared Marion County a disaster area after potentially dangerous algae prompted officials to stop pumping from Marion County Lake Reservoir. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers first discovered the fairly aggressive strain of the Anabeana algae in the reservoir on June 5. The algae, which occurs naturally in the proper conditions, could be harmful to humans. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius issued the declaration Thursday to allow emergency response assistance to communities in Marion County that need help getting water, the Adjutant General's Department said. The reservoir provides water for the cities of Marion, Hillsboro and Peabody. The bloom had disappeared, but was again visible, this time closer to the intake used by the water treatment plants of Hillsboro, which supplied water to Peabody, the Adjutant General's Department said. Defense Department investigates non-combat death of marine DERBY—A 19-year-old Marine from Derby has died of non-combat wounds in Iraq, the Department of Defense said. Pfc. Ryan R. Cox, who was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division out of the California-based Air-Ground Combat Center, died Sunday near Najaf, Iraq. Cox's family told a Wichita television station they learned about Cox's death Monday morning, but received few details from the military. The Defense Department said it was investigating what it called a "non-combat weapon discharge." Derby residents told the station Cox had been a hurdler on the high-school track team and signed up for the Marines wanting to go to Iraq. Hospital worker pleads guilty to tampering with painkillers WICHITA - A Derby man has pleaded guilty to one count of tampering with the drug Demerol at a medical center, U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren said yesterday. Dennis M. Pray, 33, admitted in his plea that while employed as a licensed practical nurse at the Derby Family Medical Center he obtained Demerol for his personal use. Pray, manager of the center's Ambulatory Surgical Center, told District Judge Monti L. Belot he siphoned the drug from containers in the center's drug safe and replaced it with saline solution. He also said he submitted fraudulent orders on behalf of his employer to obtain the drug. Pray admitted he knew the drug was intended for use as an anesthetic for surgical procedures at the center's ambulatory surgical unit, Melgren said. The theft was first reported to police in February. The center installed a surveillance camera and recorded numerous instances where Pray got into the center's drug safe at irregular hours. Pray faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison without parole. NATION American Medical Association endorses cloning for research CHICAGO — The American Medical Association yesterday endorsed cloning for research purposes, saying it is medically ethical but allowing doctors who oppose the practice to refuse to perform it. Policymaking delegates adopted the measure without debate after discussing the issue Sunday. Scientists believe stem cells could potentially be used to treat a wide range of human diseases. The AMA's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs submitted the proposal with hopes that it would become official AMA policy. The proposal received wide support from doctors and medical groups including the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Some adamantly opposed it with arguments reminiscent of the nationwide abortion debate. The U.S. House earlier this year passed a Bush administration-backed measure that would ban both types of cloning. The measure hasn't been acted on in the Senate.

Mother pleads guilty to using twins to commit bank robbery TOMS RIVER, N.J. — The mother of two teenage girls accused of robbing a bank last year has admitted her role in the crime, saying she drove the twin sisters to the bank and knew they had a toy gun. Kathleen Wortman Jones pleaded guilty Monday to armed robbery and using a juvenile to commit a criminal offense. Prosecutors said the family staged the Oct. 29 robbery at the Sun National Bank branch so they could make a mortgage payment on their home. Jones, 36, faces up to 30 years in prison when she is sentenced Aug. 15. Jones said she drove her oldest daughter and one of the then 14-year-old twins to the bank, but the older girl backed out and Jones returned later that day with both twins. The girls then allegedly stole about $3,050. The twins, now 15, are charged with armed robbery, theft and weapons offenses and are being held in a youth detention center. Their now 17-year-old sister received probation. EPA decontaminates offices after 2001 anthrax attack WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency spent $27 million over three months to decontaminate Capitol Hill offices after the anthrax attack of October, 2001, examining 10,000 samples from 26 buildings, according to a congressional report released Tuesday. On Oct. 15, 2001, just a month after the Sept. 11 attacks, an anthrax-bearing letter was opened in the office of then-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D.S.D.). Traces of the toxin were found in other areas of the Capitol, apparently the result of the exposure of other letters in the mail system, and thousands of workers were treated with antibiotics as a precaution. Five people around the country, including two postal workers, died from the attacks, but no Capitol Hill employees were harmed. Seven of the 26 buildings from which samples were taken were found to have traces of anthrax. WORLD World Health Organization says SARS stopped in tracks KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — The chief of the World Health Organization declared Tuesday that SARS has been "stopped dead in its tracks," but experts said China held the key to whether it resurfaces. Gro Harlem Brundtland, the WHO director-general, told a conference that the world has stopped the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome in the nearly 100 days since international health authorities sounded the first global alert. David Heymann, WHO executive director on communicable diseases, said the question of a big SARS reappearance depended largely on China, where it originated. Chinese officials acknowledge at least 5,327 probable cases and 346 deaths as of Monday. "China certainly is the key to this outbreak in many respects," Heymann said. "Particularly because China has been able to contain this outbreak." SARS has killed about 800 people and sickened more than 8,400 since first being detected in southern China in November. New cases spiked in March and April, but have plunged in recent weeks. Thief disappears after stealing 7,680 new Harry potter books LONDON—A thief stole a truck with thousands of copies of the new Harry Potter book from outside a warehouse just days before the international release of the next installment in the popular series, police said yesterday. The thief stole the tractor-trailer and the copies of the much-anticipated Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Sunday night from the Deacon Trading Estate in northern England, where the books awaited distribution. Merseyside police found the truck, without the books,the next morning about 20 miles from the warehouse. Authorities have made no arrests and have no suspects. The truck contained 7,680 books, with an estimated retail value $220,000. The novel is scheduled for release Saturday. Internet retailer Amazon.com said it had received more than 1 million advance orders for the book. Rowling's four previous Potter novels have sold more than 190 million copies in 55 languages and 200 countries. IRAQ New courts adopted to purge Iraqi loyalists The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. authorities announced creation of a new criminal court yesterday and a panel to purge judges loyal to Saddam Hussein. The U.S. military said a sweep of loyalist strongholds resulted in 400 arrests and an American soldier was killed in Baghdad. The reforms announced by L. Paul Bremer, the top U.S. official in Iraq, are designed to upgrade a judicial system that catered to Saddam's desires rather than the rule of law. The two new authorities — the Judicial Review Committee and the Central Criminal Court — are important steps in giving the Iraqi people a justice system they can trust and respect, Bremer said. "The Review Committee's task is to clean up Iraq's judiciary," he said. "If the Committee finds any judge or prosecutor who violates these standards, the committee will dismiss him or her from office." The committee will consist of three Iraqis and three members of the occupying coalition and will finish its initial work in three or four months, Bremer said. The criminal court will help the judiciary crack down on criminals undermining Iraq's security and reconstruction. They "will be brought to justice without delay," said Bremer. Some judges and lawyers scoffed at what they called U.S. interference in their courts. "The Americans are an occupation force and we are the source of one of the oldest codes of law — Hammurabi's Code," judge Qassem Ayyah said. "It's like teaching a driver how to drive." Iraq's judiciary has not recovered from the war. Most courts have been looted or destroyed and remain closed. Bremer made his announcement at the reopening of the Iraqi Judicial College, which was looted during the war. It was renovated with U.S. money. Despite attempts to stop loyalists, an Army soldier riding in a Humvee with the 1st Armored Division's 1st Brigade was shot and killed by a sniper in Baghdad late Monday. The U.S. military said raids began Sunday on Iraqi homes and businesses in Baghdad and northern Iraq were meant to "isolate and defeat remaining pockets of resistance." Liberian government signs cease-fire with rebel forces ACCRA, Ghana一Liberia's government and rebels signed a cease-fire pact yesterday in the country's three-year civil war, which escalated in recent weeks with insurgents fighting up to the edge of the West African nation's capital. All sides said just before the signing that the deal included a provision that President Charles Taylor resign within 30 days. Authorities did not immediately release a copy of the signed accord, however, and with the ceremony still under way it was impossible to immediately confirm that the key provision remained. As the Ghana talks opened early this month, a U.N.-backed tribunal indicted him for alleged war crimes in neighboring Sierra Leone. The past three years of rebellion have uprooted more than 1.3 million Liberians, sending hundreds of thousands of them fleeing into neighboring countries.Rights groups said both sides in the war had killed, raped, robbed and kidnapped civilians. The government has lost control of all but 40 percent of the country to the rebels over the past year. Sniper kills American soldier in Humvee while patrolling Iraq KHALDIYAH,Iraq — A sniper killed a U.S. soldier on patrol in Baghdad with a single shot, the military said Tuesday. The sniper shot the soldier from the 1st Armored Division's 1st Brigade in the back as he rode in a Humvee about 11:30 p.m. Monday, said bridegale spokesman Lt. Alex Kasarda. The gunman escaped. Military officials said it was likely the bullet penetrated the soldier's flak vest, possibly by entering at an angle that missed an armored ceramic plate. The soldier's name was withheld until his family could be notified. About 50 American soldiers have died from hostile fire or in accidents in Iraq since the United States declared major combat operations over on May1. The Associated Press 20 = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2003 COMMUNITY University professor combats homelessness By Ehren Meditz emeditz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer A University of Kansas professor is helping the Lawrence City Commission develop the city's first comprehensive plan to combat homelessness. Helen Hartnett, assistant professor of social welfare, met the city's Task Force on Homeless Services last Wednesday to discuss objectives. Hartnett said she would bring 14 years worth of experience to the task force, which would offer its proposal to the city commission within a year. "I'm excited to be part of this," Hartnett said. "This is something that actually has some political will behind it." Hartnett is one of 17 members of the task force, created by Mayor David Dunfield last month. The group includes representatives from the Salvation Army and Community Drop-In Center as well as psychologists and neighborhood groups. "We all come from different perspectives," she said. "I don't think we'll be clashing, but there will be times where we're just going to have to agree to disagree." Hartnett said she wanted to bring a sense of objectivity to the meetings. Commissioner Mike Rundle will chair the task force, which is divided into three subcommittees. Hartnett will assist one subcommittee in determining the context of homelessness in Lawrence by researching demographics, services already in place and the housing and economic market. Another subcommittee will study what services other communities provide to the homeless, and a third will gather opinions from business providers. Richard Forney, a task force member from the Salvation Army, said research was a priority. "We're just going to gather information," Forney said. "We're not trying to reinvent the wheel." Cindy Nau, Neighborhood Programs Specialist for the city, said Lawrence counted 134 homeless people in December 2001 and had not counted since then. "Many, many people I talk to see the homeless population as the drunken bum on the sidewalk, begging for money and urinating in the alley." Lawrence neighborhood programs specialist Cindy Nau TASK FORCE MEETING The Task Force on Homeless Services's next public meeting will be at 4 p.m. on Aug.26 at the Lawrence City Commission room in City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets. "Agencies are reporting that they are seeing an increase in numbers, which makes sense given the economy," Nau said. Paula Gilchrist, director of social services at the Salvation Army, said the number of homeless people frequenting her facility was increasing. This January, she recorded 1,731 visits, up from 969 last year for the same time period. Tami Clark director of the Community Drop-In Center, also said she saw a significant increase. Both directors stressed that increased numbers did not necessarily indicate that the homeless population in Lawrence was on the rise. Nay said one major problem in Lawrence was that the majority of the community did not understand who the homeless were. "Many, many people I talk to see the homeless population as the drunken bum on the sidewalk, begging for money and urinating in the alley," she said. "While there is a subset of the homeless population that is exactly like that, the majority is not like that at all." Nay said the top four reasons for homelessness in Lawrence were substance abuse, mental illnesses, physical disabilities and domestic violence.

HEALTH Monkeypox infects Leavenworth woman By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The first Kansas case of the viral disease monkeypox was reported in Leavenworth Sunday. Monkeypox is similar to smallpox, though less fatal. This month, the disease infected humans in the United States for the first time. Sharon Watson, representative of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the infected Leavenworth woman, who has not been identified, was expected to be released from St. John Hospital in Leavenworth yesterday. The woman became ill after being bitten by a friend's pet prairie dog. Her friend, a 38-year-old Missouri man, also became ill but was never hospitalized. State laboratories determined both cases to be monkeypox, Watson said. Samples have been sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta for testing. Watson said a Gambian giant rat carried monkeypox into the United States from Africa. She said the rat was housed in Illinois near 1,000 prairie dogs that were raised on a Kansas farm.The animals were then distributed to stores in Wisconsin and Indiana and sold as pets. Robert Timm, curator of mammalogy at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum, said the disease infected the prairie dogs through airborne transmission, meaning the rat and prairie dogs never came into direct contact. Watson said the only way for humans to contract monkeypox was through contact with an infected animal's bodily fluids. She said the CDC were tracking down all the prairie dogs that were infected in Illinois, but couldn't comment on the investigation's progress. Myra Strother, chief of medical staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said only people who kept prairie dogs as pets were at risk of getting monkeypox. Pet stores in Lawrence do not sell prairie dogs or Gambian rats therefore the CDC were not investigating these stores, Strother said. Human symptoms of monkeypox include a fever of more than 99.3 degrees, coughing, shortness of breath and swollen lymph nodes. Symptoms in animals are missing patches of fur, rash and discharge from the eyes and nose. Timm said although Gambian giant rats and prairie dogs are prized as exotic pets, it's a bad idea to keep them as pets. He said it was too difficult to care for them and they were more likely to bite. “It's especially dangerous for little kids,” Timm said. “If they play too rough, they might be bitten.” Watson said the CDC advised people who came in contact with prairie dogs to get a smallpox vaccine, which can defend against the virus. Watson said if the person was already infected, the smallpox vaccine was useless. Strother said although it was unlikely any Lawrence residents would be infected, doctors at Watkins were prepared and knew the precautions to take. —Edited by Saju Ng'alla SCIENCE Researchers limit effects of cow breath on ozone The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — If you think you have bad breath, just be thankful you're not a cow with breath that actually harms Earth's ozone layer and contributes to global warming. The collective breathing of cows accounted for nearly 20 percent of the methane gas released into the atmosphere. To cut down on the 100 to 150 gal- lions of the gas that a typical cow accounts for each day, University of Nebraska researchers are developing an additive for cattle feed. "The reason we're focusing on methane is because it's a short-lived, highly potent greenhouse gas that needs to be reduced," said Stephen Ragsdale, biochemistry professor. The methane produced in a cow's rumen—the first of a cow's four stomachs — gets into the bloodstream and exits through the lungs, said Ken Olson, a range livestock nutritionist at Utah State University. Almost all of it came from breathing, though tiny bits escaped when a cow belched, Olson said. In Nebraska, it's been three years since Ragsdale and fellow researchers James Takacs and Jess Miner had the idea to reduce methane by blocking enzymes in the cow's rumen that were necessary to produce it. Olson conducted a six-year study that found better range management practices that provided higher quality forage could make a small difference in the amount of methane released by cattle. They have tested more than 200 compounds in the last 18 months, to find the formula that blocks the methane but doesn't harm the beneficial microbes in the cow's rumen. 22 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18,2003 Selection, Quality, KIEF'S & Sale Prices Audio,Video & Car Stereo 24th & Iowa St., Lawrence, KS DENON...High Performance Audio Selection, Quality, KIEF'S & Sale Prices Audio, Video & Car Stereo 24th & Iowa St., Lawrence, KS DENON...High Performance Audio Voted best burger in town 3 years straight.

LeCover's summer internship has been a dream come true, but it almost never happened. LeCover, a strategic communications major from Plano, Texas, was accepted for the internship with KRLD radio in Dallas last spring. The job—which allows him to cut highlights and interview players for Astros and Texas Rangers games required LeCover to get school credit. The only kink: the school of journalism would not give him credit for the internship until he took a message development class. "I was pissed off," said LeCover, who appealed to James Gentry, dean of journalism, but was denied. "It's a stupid rule." LeCover was unable to take the class because he was studying abroad in Paderno, Italy. LeCover is among a growing group of students at the University who have difficulty securing internships because they do not qualify for internship credit within their schools or are in departments that do not offer formal internship credit. "It's ridiculous that students have to jump through all these loopholes for an internship when it would be very easy to offer as a class." Mary Andrade Carlson Assistant director of career and employment services "It's ridiculous that students have to jump through all these loopholes for an internship when it would be very easy to These students often look to Mary Andrade Carlson, assistant director of career and employment services, for help. Andrade Carlson said she helped between seven and 10 students find ways to get around the requirement last semester, often by finding a professor willing to take on an independent study. "If we're going to count the credit towards a degree, we need to be sure the internship is consistent with what the four years are supposed to achieve." Kim Wilcox Dean of liberal arts and sciences offer as a class," Andrade Carlson said. Andrade Carlson and Gail Rooney, director of career and employment services, submitted a proposal for a general internship class in October 2002, but it was turned down by Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences. Wilcox said he did not endorse the class because it lacked the focus and faculty advising of an internship course within a specific department. Due to standards dictated by the Fair Labor Standards Act, most employers required their interns to receive school credit, Carlson said. School credit also ensures that interns will show up and be accountable for their jobs. "If we're going to count the credit towards a degree, we need to be sure the internship is consistent with what the four years are supposed to achieve," he said. Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said she saw the need for a college-wide internship course. "There is a gap on our services," Houston said. "It hasn't been a priority for departments to create internship opportunities." Ultimately, LeCover found a way to take the KRLD internship, but he had to go outside the University. LeCover wrote letters to six universities in the Dallas area and found a journalism professor at Richland Community College in Dallas willing to take him on for a one-credit independent study. His story had a silver lining: saving $950. "All you need is a piece of paper saying you're getting school credit," LeCover said. "I'm probably better off this way." — Edited by Annie Bernethy Tell us your news Contact the Kansan at editor@kansan.com or call 864-4858. SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 23 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18,2003 TRACK Young track athletes await competition with seniors By Saju Ng'alla sngalla@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Despite disappointing performances at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, four University of Kansas athletes are excited about competing at the USA Senior Track and Field Championship Abby Emsick, Council Bluffs, Iowa, freshman; Jeremy Mims, Iowa City, Iowa, sophomore; Leo Bookman, Dickinson, Texas, junior; and Cameron Schwehr, Colbert, Wash., freshman, qualified to compete at the senior championship June 19-22, in Palo Alto, Calif. Stanley Redwine, Kansas track and field coach, said the athletes had impressive seasons but inexperience caught up with them at nationals. He said Emsick was a phenomenal athlete and should be commended for qualifying as a freshman. "She got a little nervous and was not herself," Redwine said. SEE CHAMPIONSHIPS ON PAGE 25 The freshman qualified for nationals after breaking a University record with a discus throw of 180-10—four feet and six inches further than the previous record. Emisck will throw the discus at the senior championships and Redwine expects that she will have a stronger showing than at nationals. Mims said he was unhappy with his performance at nationals but he would compete in the 800-meter dash at the senior championships, though he did not compete after the preliminaries at nationals. "It was more or less a mental lapse," Mims said, "I was so excited to be there, I forgot what I came there Redwine said it was a simple case of nerves.

Hector Amezcua/The Sacramento Bee TRACK AND FIELD Kansas runner secures title Teammates struggle after preliminary rounds By Saju Ng'alla snglaa@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Leo Bookman solidified his position as one of the best college sprinters in the country Saturday night. The Dickinson, Texas, junior won the NCAA Outdoor 200 meter-dash at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif. Bookman won the 200-meter dash at the NCAA Indoor Track Championship. "It is seldom done that an athlete wins both the indoor and outdoor championships because of the intense competition," said Stanley Redwine, Kansas track and field coach. "To win both is a great tribute to that athlete." Redwine said Bookman worked extremely hard all year and deserved the victory. Bookman won the race in a time of 20.47 seconds and tied his second-best performance of the season. "It was a really close race, but I pulled out," Bookman said in a media release. "I knew if I just got out of the blocks and pushed it that I could do it." Bookman said there was a lot pressure on him because he was expected to win. Bookman was relieved when he was announced the winner,he said. Redwine said he did not know who won until the results were posted. Teammates present during the race said they were on edge from the start until the end. Kim Clark, Elkhorn, Neb., sophomore and member of the 4x400-meter relay team said Bookman looked awesome the way he came from behind to win the race. "He clearly had more strength than the other athletes," Clark said. "In the last 50 meters he had a strong surge that just pushed him forward." The winner was determined by a photo finish with Bookman taking the victory by .001 seconds. Bookman said he planned to take life easy for a while after his victory before he focused on the football season. Redwine said he didn't mind Bookman playing football and running track. "He is a great athlete as a football player and he is a great athlete on the track," Redwine said. "Either way he is representing the University of Kansas, and that is what I enjoy." Bookman's victory was the only one for Kansas at the championships. The only other athlete to make it to the finals and earn All American Honors was Mark Menefee, Hutchinson senior.

Clemons, 22, who pleaded guilty to the reduced charges April 21, reported to the Boone County Jail on Monday. He will also have two years of unsupervised probation. Jessica Bunge, of St. Clair, Mo., alleged Clemons pushed her down, bloodied her nose and choked her the night of Jan. 16 after she refused to watch the movie Roots with him. Clemons was arrested the next day and was suspended from the team for one game. Clemons would still have a year of eligibility left after sitting out next season. Missouri has said it would honor Clemons' scholarship, "provided he continues to progress toward his degree and meets his academic and social responsibilities." Rutgers to lose 20 scholarships with self-imposed probation Many of the violations involved tardy paperwork and no coaches were involved, said Thomas Yeager, chair of the committee and commissioner of the Colonial Athletic Conference. The probation period began April 1, 2002,the date Rutgers reported the results of its investigation to the NCAA. NEWARK, N.J. — The NCAA accepted Rutgers' self-imposed penalties of two years probation and the loss of 20 total scholarships in 10 sports for violating eligibility and financial aid rules. The school was publicly reprimanded by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions, in a ruling announced yesterday. The committee also commended the university for "detecting and vigorously pursuing the violations." It is the first time that Rutgers, a member of the Big East Conference, has been on probation. NBA Finals draw fewer viewers according to Nielson ratings NEW YORK — The final ratings for the NBA Finals between San Antonio and New Jersey were the lowest since the Nielsen ratings service began using the current method 27 years ago. The six games, all aired in prime time on ABC, drew a 6.5 with a 12 share. By contrast, last year's finals, between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Nets, had a 10.2 rating on NBC, even though it went four games and was less competitive. That series, however, featured two of the game's biggest stars — the Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. Michael Jordan's final game for Chicago against Utah in 1998 drew a rating of 18.7, more than three times the overall rating for this year's series. The Nets-Spurs series also was a defensive struggle with long scoring droughts and low shooting percentages by both teams. The rating is the percentage of all homes with televisions, whether they are in use. The share is the percentage of sets in use tuned to a particular program. RACING NASCAR calls on Nextel to become next cup sponsor CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nextel has reached a deal to become the title sponsor of NASCAR's premier Winston Cup series, NASCAR and team sources said yesterday. Two NASCAR sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the wireless communications giant would be announced as the title sponsor Thursday at a news conference in New York's Times Square. Two Winston Cup team sources, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said NASCAR officials called them Monday to tell them a deal with Nextel was complete. Although it's unclear what the exact new title of the series will be, the Winston Cup name will disappear after 31 years in existence. Before 1972, it was known as the Grand National Series. TENNIS Wimbledon pairings put Serena Venus in opposite brackets WIMBLEDON, England — Serena and Venus Williams were placed on opposite sides of the Wimbledon women's draw yesterday and could meet in another Grand Slam final. Serena Williams, who won Wimbledon for the first time last year, and older sister Venus, the 2000 and 2001 champion, have met in four of the last five Grand Slam championship matches. Defending men's champion Leyton Hewitt was dealt a tough draw that included a potential quarterfinal match against Andy Roddick. Hewitt will play a qualifier in the first round next Monday. Andre Agassi, seeded second, will open against British wild card Jamie Delgado, and could face No.18 Marat Safin or big-serving Mark Philippoussis in the fourth round.

Coach Redwine said he was not daunted that the team did not meet his expectations. He is proud they made it to nationals. For most of the team members it was their first time competing at such a level and the excitement got the better of them, Redwine said. Members of the women's 4x400-meter relay said they did not meet their expectations at nationals because they never made it past the preliminaries. "We did not run well and I wish I knew what happened," said Clark, a member of the relay team. "We were way off the time we had at regional." Clark said the team expected to at least make it to the finals and walk away with All-American honors. Redwine said the relay team might have tried too hard and found themselves unable to keep up with the other teams because of the high level of competition. Redwine is very happy with Kansas' performance at nationals. He said the experience gained would go a long way for the athletes preparing his athletes for other competitions. — Edited by Brandon Baker CHAMPIONSHIPS: Tracksters compete CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23 to do."

But Drew Gooden also has a Plan B. Gooden, 21, who just finished his rookie season with the Orlando Magic, is at the University of Kansas this summer, taking two classes as he progresses toward his bachelor's degree in communication studies. "I'm chipping away at those hours a little bit at a time," the 6-foot-10 former Kansas All-American said Monday. "I'm doing it for myself and my family, too," Gooden said. "As a matter of fact, I'll be the only person in my family with a college degree, if I get it." No problem, he says. The Richmond, Calif., native likes returning to Lawrence, where he scored 1,526 points and grabbed 905 rebounds from 2000 to 2002. It's going to take Gooden several offseasons to land his degree.

Sweet and tart, strawberries accentuate the taste of all kinds of foods. Whether it's sweetening up a spinach salad or matching the berry with the perfect champagne, strawberries are definitely sexy. One restaurant in Lawrence that takes advantage of the strawberry is Pachamama's, 2161 Quail Creek Drive. Their latest menu offering included a tempting dish called Applewood Smoked Bennett Ranch Chicken Breast, with fingerling potatoes and the addition of fresh strawberries, ricotta cheese and pistachios. Although this dish will leave you short of $17, it's quite worth it. Sweet and tart strawberries accentuate the taste of all kinds of foods. Another supporter of the strawberry is a Kansas City favorite, The Cheesecake Factory. What could compliment cheesecake more than strawberries? The restaurant's fresh strawberry cheesecake is composed quite beautifully. The delicious combination of sweet strawberries, creamy filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust can make any person swoon. If cheesecake isn't a passion, though the restaurant also offers a classic, strawberry shortcake. Tastes of a classic shortcake topped with vanilla ice cream, fresh whipping cream and strawberries can surely brighten anyone's day. With the many of restaurants in the Kansas City and Lawrence area offering strawberry-enhanced dishes, it can be just as easy at home to create your own favorite meal with the addition of strawberries. These berries won't be around much longer, so hurry to the grocery store to taste the sweet, succulent flavors of the seasonal fruit. Some quick strawberry ideas are adding them to a favorite yogurt or cereal, making a strawberry smoothie and topping waffles of pancakes off with this delectable berry.

House panel votes down funding for meat labels The Associated Press WASHINGTON - A House panel voted yesterday to deny the Agriculture Department money to force meatpackers and retailers to mark their products with labels that described where the meat originated. The requirement to tell shoppers on product labels where the animal that produced the meat was born, raised and slaughtered was part of the $190 billion farm bill that President Bush signed into law last year. Food processors, retailers and some farmers have complained ever since that it would cost them millions of dollars to carry out. On a unanimous voice vote, the House Agriculture subcommittee on research approved language in the bill for USDA operations that specifies none of the agency's money can be used to implement the labeling requirement on meat. U. S. Rep. Henry Bonilla (R-Texas), the subcommittee chairman, said lawmakers needed time to determine costs before processors have to provide the labels. "Before any decision is made, the producers, processors, retailers and meat industry must have the opportunity to consider the ramifications," Bonilla said. The Agriculture Department estimates it would cost $1.9 billion to keep careful records on where animals were born, raised and slaughtered. "How much study do they need?" asked Arthur Jaeger, assistant director for the Consumer Federation of America. Implementation was put off until fall of 2004, specifically to allow thorough review and consideration of how to implement it. "They've had plenty of time to do it. Why on earth would you need more?" Sen. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) said yesterday that the labels could have helped U.S. and Canadian officials to quickly search for cattle linked to a cow infected with mad cow disease in Canada. "With the case of mad cow disease in Canada threatening to kick the legs from under consumer confidence in beef, this is irresponsible," said Johnson, who pushed to add the labeling program to last year's farm bill. "The subcommittee should think about whether they are representing Canadian ranchers or American consumers." Canada discovered an animal last month was sick with mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and for days searched for other animals in its herd to ensure that none was sick with the brain-wasting disease. The case revealed that the United States, which trades meat and cattle extensively with Canada, has no system in place that would allow investigators to trace meat quickly from the slaughterhouse to the farm. Canadian scientists have said they believed no other animals were infected. Biotech food bypasses FDA The Associated Press WASHINGTON—Genetically engineered foods from crops reviewed and approved by two government agencies shouldn't reveal more information to the Food and Drug Administration, an FDA official told Congress yesterday. FDA Deputy Commissioner Lester Crawford said the agency was inclined to reject a proposal made by the former Clinton administration that required biotechnology companies to notify the FDA before putting products on the market. Biotech crops are already regulated by the Agriculture Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. "The current system is working," Crawford told the House Agriculture Committee's subcommittee on research. "Since there is no public health reason to impose mandatory requirements, FDA is not making this rule a priority." Crawford said he knew of no instance where a company had not voluntarily shared field tests and other information on its biotech products with the FDA. But Greg Jaffe, biotechnology director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said that without a required regulation, companies could withhold data.

Family demands will intensify over the next nine weeks. Before the end of August, expect loved ones to introduce new living arrangements or property investments. Almost three years of deepening home and romantic commitments will soon be in operation. Watch for a steady increase of financial contracts, rental agreements and planned family celebrations. Early in November, some Geminis may also encounter a complex business or career invitation. Make valid decisions and begin new ventures by mid-December, if possible. Don't avoid challenging or highly creative opportunities. Aries (March 21-April 20). Late Monday, a sudden disagreement between friends or co-workers may cause tensions. Areas affected are ego battles in the workplace competing social interests and romantic pride. A close companion may attempt to challenge an outspoken or highly confident co-worker Avoid choosing sides. Over the next eight days, friends and colleagues ask for public loyalty. Taurus (April 21-Mav 20) Long-distance friendships or postponed communications with loved ones take precedence this week. Over the next few days, expect social disputes and past emotional restrictions to fade. Old events, minor differences or forced separations will be addressed in the coming weeks. Be prepared to set firm boundaries, expectations or goals. Gemini (May 21-June 21). Expect long-term friends and lovers to be highly sentimental. Key issues may involve letting go of past hurts or making peace with yesterday's authority figures. Over the next four days, loved ones will also be vulnerable to your comments and observations. After Friday, passions are deeply felt. Spend quality time with romantic partners and ask gently persuasive questions. You won't be disappointed. Cancer (June 22-July 22). A close friend may ask delicate romantic questions. Social comments, unusual requests or family triangles may be prime themes. At present, however, intimate discussions are best kept private. Provide as much support as possible but also realize that loved ones need to settle their own romantic differences. Remain open; there's much to learn. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Gossip, group speculation and new romantic love are on the agenda this week. Watch for close friends or workmates to reveal deep affections or an unexpected attraction. New relationships, although slow to begin, will be passionate and intriguing. An attentive attitude will be helpful. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). This week, friends or co-workers may offer subtle comments or minor criticisms. Areas of concern may be workplace appearance, self-image or group reputation. Don't react to controversial suggestions or public displays of jealousy. By late Friday, a cheerful, almost giddy atmosphere is due to arrive. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Past love affairs and old emotional obligations are prime topics of conversation this week. Expect loved ones and close friends to relive old romantic memories or yesterday's ideals. Watch for isolated friends to seek new social and romantic outlets. Emotional change will not be easy for loved ones. Remain patient and expect irritability or intense moments of self-doubt to be ongoing themes. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov.21). Family proposals or intriguing home discussions require fast decisions this week. Over the next two days, someone close may present a creative solution to home disagreements. Revised work schedules, last-minute travel plans or unique property purchases may all be at issue. New ideas are positive. Don't hesitate to explore unusual family or social routines. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Over the next six days, new managers demand added concentration and loyalty. Delayed business improvements will soon move rapidly forward. Expect shifting duties or changed assignments. Find creative ways to adapt to team projects. Workplace standards and daily practices may be significantly redefined. Accept all complimentst but wait for valid invitations. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20). Mild romantic flirtations may feel oddly disjointed this week. Business relationships and new social alliances are highly unpredictable. Even though colleagues or potential friends offer seductive romantic comments, wait for bold invitations. Over the next six days, sudden or deeply felt gestures of affection may be easily derailed or misinterpreted. Search out trusted friends and respond only to concrete or sustained overtures of attraction. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Successful business combinations create excitement. Shared duties, however, may still require practice. Joint ventures or new partnerships should be thoroughly researched before taking risks. Over the next five days, authority figures and financial agencies will closely study your efforts. Be gracious; we all get our signals crossed from time to time. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). Business relations expand. Expect rare proposals from authority figures or work partners. Planetary alignments suggest that the next few weeks will bring steadily increasing workplace opportunities. Watch for a unique introduction into previously unavailable business circles. Stay alert. Social timing and sincere reactions are important. Fund provides proper funerals for jazz artists The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — They soared with Bird and got down with the Count, putting the intersection of 18th and Vine on every jazz fan's map. "It was the Kansas City style," said 87 year-old pianist and bandleader Jay "Hootie" McShann, who gave sax icon Charlie "Bird" Parker his first steady gig in 1940. "They knew it on the East Coast. They knew it on the West Coast. They knew it up north, and they knew it down south." But one by one, the city's jazz pioneers are falling silent. And after a lifetime of playing for a living, some musicians can't afford the cost of dying. The fund bought headstones for bassist David Daahoud Williams and trumpeterbandleader Oliver Todd, who lay for years in unmarked graves. Williams was only a few yards away from the elaborate slab covering Parker's resting place. That's where the Coda Jazz Fund steps in. The fund also paid to mark the graves of entertainer Speedy Huggins and pianist-singer Elbert "Coots" Dye. The fund was there when Rudolph "School Boy" Dennis who stepped into McShann's band when Parker left, died with a month's worth of fixed income—$538—to his name. "This was a man who played with Basie and Bird," said Dennis' sister-in-law, Barbara Dennis. "Charlie Bird stayed at his house. He knew him like I know my own children." The Coda Jazz Fund paid for Dennis' funeral and cremation down to the programs and a courtesy car for the family. "It wasn't just, 'We'll pay half,' or, 'We'll pay so much and you pay the rest," said Dennis' niece, Stephanie Adams. "They took care of everything. I call them our undercover angels." In music, the coda marks the spot where a repeated section skips ahead, usually to a point near the end of a composition. "It's not the end, but it points to the end," said Steve Penn, creator of the fund and a columnist for The Kansas City Star. "This is sort of a coda to these guys' lives." Penn is a native of Kansas City, Kan., and a part-time trumpet player. He was inspired to start the fund by a chance nightclub encounter shortly after guitarist "It was the Kansas City style. They knew it on the East Coast: They knew it on the West Coast. They knew it up north, and they knew it down south." Jay "Hootie" McShann 87-year-old pianist and bandleader Sonny Kenner's death in January 2001. Kenner's daughter was in the club, where he had often played, and was selling copies of his compact discs to pay for the upcoming funeral. "We started talking about all the fundraisers they were going to have so they could bury him," Penn said. "I thought, 'That's just terrible.' But I saw the goodwill. People were just snapping up those CDs." After securing his newspaper's sponsorship, Penn began putting things together with the help of Kansas City's jazz community. The fund officially launched in April 2002, with its first benefit concert a month later. All the performers were from, or had ties to, Kansas City. Supporters of the fund say it also provides a way for Kansas City to reconnect with its jazz heritage. "The gift is never truly received until you acknowledge the giver," said the Rev. Emanuel Cleaver, who led the drive to renovate the 18th and Vine district when he was mayor from 1991 to 1999. The second concert was May 17 at the Gem Theatre in the 18th and Vine Jazz District. It sold out, even with ticket prices ranging from $50 to $100. Among this year's featured acts were singer Karrin Allyson and alto sax player Bobby Watson — both natives of the area who have earned national acclaim. Another was St. Louis-based trumpeter Clark Terry, a former featured performer on NBC's "The Tonight Show" when it was based in New York. "The Coda Fund is giving back something that the city forgot to give, and that's recognition," said Barbara Dennis. "This is the first time that homage is really being paid to the people who made 18th and Vine what it is, and that's the musicians."

"I think he will bring a fresh perspective," she said. "Other people may have overlooked some evidence." The three suspects in Martin's trial, Luis "Caballo" Castro, Kattia Cruz and Rafael "Coco" Zumbado, have been charged with her murder, but only Cruz and Zumbado are still in jail. Not enough evidence was presented against Castro to hold him until the trial. Zumbado is in jail for another murder he is suspected of committing. There is enough evidence against Cruz to hold her until the trial. Stauffer is thankful to the Costa Rican government for the help they have given her. "Our family has been very pleased with the Costa Rican government officials and with the Organization of Judicial Investigation," she said. In addition to the need for a new lawyer, Stauffer faces additional strain when dealing with her daughter's case. When she's in Costa Rica, she must use a translator to speak with her lawyer. The translator is not provided by anyone, so Stauffer must rely on herself to find one in Golffo. "My mom has a taxi driver who speaks English fluently," Wolfe said. "Not only can he drive her around, but he can help us translate." Stauffer said she met the taxi driver, who has a formal English education, at her hotel in Costa Rica. "The language barrier has been the hardest thing." Wolfe said. "Not understanding how their laws work and what procedures you have to take is hard." Besides the stress of language barriers and coping with family loss, Wolfe said the cost of traveling back and forth to Costa Rica added stress. "I think this is trip seven or eight." Wolfe said of her mother's trips to Golfito. "It's so awful because it's so expensive." The family hasn't received any financial support for their travels or legal expenses. "There are some people who have been really nice," Wolfe said. "But people don't understand how expensive it is." — Edited by Jennifer Wellington Slain student's memory lives on in different ways By Annie Bernethy aberneth@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Shannon Martin's memory is being kept alive by her family members and friends in several ways. Staci Wolfe, Martin's sister, created a Web site in her honor. She keeps it updated with information on her sister's case and has pictures of Martin posted. "She was all about traveling." Wolfe said. "She loved to travel." She especially loved traveling to Costa Rica, where she went twice. An entry from Martin's journal on Wolfe's Web site describes one of her experiences while in Golfito, Costa Rica, on Feb. 10, 2000. "We climbed up really high; it was more than a bit dangerous. Every time I do something like that I feel so alive. It's the experiences that count - right?" Martin wrote about the sights she saw in Golfito a week later. "A line of leaf cutter ants are collecting food near my feet. Birds of many colors sing and fly above me. And a huge green iguana sauntered past my feet and slowly climbed the tree in front of me. A living world! Incredible!" Jeanette Stauffer, Martin's mother, opened the Shannon Lucile Martin English Center in Golfito last April in memory of her daughter. "This center is really needed to give people an opportunity to support their families and to help create a more stable economic community." Stauffer said. Friends of Martin when she was in Golfito have offered to teach at the new center. Martin's family has also set up the Shannon Lucile Martin Foundation in her honor. The foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educational and community service.

TUITION Fees expected to increase Proposed increase to bring in $8.6 million By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Kansas Board of Regents will vote tomorrow on whether to increase tuition at the University of Kansas by approximately 18 percent. The increase would total $8.6 million more a year to the University. Andy Knopp, student body president, For more on the impact of a tuition increase on financial aid, see page 9. was part of a student committee that reviewed the proposal. He said there was no rea son the Regents would reject the proposal. "Ithink the Regents have been on board since the beginning," Knopp said. Lindy Eakin, vice provost of administration and finance, said the Regents didn't raise any concerns about the tuition proposal at the May meeting. He expected the proposal to pass. This increase would be the second year of a five-year tuition plan from the University. Eakin said the University added only two things to the proposal since its first year. One being a $30 per credit hour surcharge to Edwards Campus students and the other, a $15 per credit hour equipment SEE TUITION ON PAGE 32 2 = THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 Campus Briefs Headline BROOKLYN BICYCLES Zach Straus/Kansan Ash Shadrick, Pensacola junior, and Lawrence residents Adam Denny, Jake Slimp and Jim Bender pause on a bike ride up to campus.

Commissioners to decide Sunday liquor sales Tuesday The Lawrence City Commission will vote next Tuesday on whether to allow Sunday liquor sales in the city of Lawrence. City commissioners have been addressing the issue for several months. Instead of voting immediately, the commissioners decided to see what happened in the Kansas Senate and surrounding communities. The Lawrence vote follows Lenexa, Overland Park, Kansas City, Kan., and Edwardsville votes that passed the same law. Kansas legislators declined to clarify the liquor laws in the state before the most recent session ended in May. Kansas liquor laws are not uniform throughout the state, which enacts a constitutional provision known as home rule. This allows cities and counties to determine their own laws, in this case liquor sales laws, through ordinances or popular vote. If the commission passes the law, liquor stores will begin to open Sundays starting in September. South Korean organizations donate $25,000 to memorial Members of the University of Kansas Korean Association in Seoul, South Korea, have teamed with five South Korean corporations to donate $25,000 for a KU memorial to people who were killed in the Korean War. Provost David Shulenburger will return Saturday from a week-long visit to South Korea with the two checks. This tops the $60,000 mark for the proposed $300,000 project. "It all depends on the donors," he said. "The idea has been around but slow to take off. Hopefully more people will continue to contribute and we can make it a reality." Todd Cohen, representative of University Relations, said there was no timetable for the construction of the memorial. The donations follow a $30,000 donation by Yong L. Kim, a Leawood businessman. He said he feels an obligation to honor the U.S. soldiers killed in the war. About 60 alumni, students and faculty died in the war, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. The memorial would be built on the hill above Potter Lake along Memorial Drive.

DINING Restaurant owner hooks well-traveled sushi chef TANGKULA PRAHONYO By Richard Gintowt rgintowt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Richard Gintowt/Kansan To be a great sushi chef, one must work quickly. To be a great sushi restaurant owner, one must be able to find great sushi chefs quickly when former sushi chefs walk out on the job. Wa's new sushi chef, Fumiharu Hirose, shows off a sashimi dish that features a variety of fish with wasabi sauce and sliced radish. Fumi, who is skilled in both Japanese and French cooking, took over as head chef last week. That not-so-ancient proverb describes the past couple of weeks at Wa Restaurant Inc., 740 Massachusetts St. , Former head sushi chef Su-Ken quit on June 5, making Wa a sushi bar without a sushi chef. "Word got around fast," said hostess Jessica Johnson, Salina graduate. "I think a lot of the regulars still don't think we are open." Thanks to new head sushi chef Fumiharu Hirose, Wa is getting a second wind. The restaurant reopened for business Friday with Chef Fumi — pronounced 'Who me' — at the reins. Fumi, 57, brings four decades of experience in Japanese and French cooking to the restaurant. A humble man who speaks in broken yet thoughtful English, Fumi also carries with him the lessons of a long and turbulent personal history. Fumi's life in the restaurant business began during his early childhood in Tokyo, delivering orders on bike from his father's Chinese noodle shop, also the family's home. Fumi and his brother studied cooking, French and Chinese respectively, with the hope that they would one day combine their knowledge and open a restaurant together. But Fumi's plans changed quickly when he fell in love with an American woman. He married and moved to Seattle, where he found work preparing sauces and hors d'oeuvres at the Four Seasons Hotel. Fumi also discovered a second passion while working in Seattle: ice sculpture. He learned the art under the tutelage of world-champion Kimi Iizima and took fourth place at an international competition in Denver. He placed by sculpting a Viking boat in one hour 45 minutes. Fumi moved to Boston and opened two businesses: Something Fishy Restaurant and Narutomi Japanese Grocery. Both were successful, and before he was 40 he had amassed millions in wealth. But Fumi's luck changed suddenly when he lost his wife and child in a car crash in 1988. That tragedy, coupled with a failed business venture, touched off a dark time in his life that Fumi would just as soon forget. He moved to Kansas City, Kan., in 2002 to work as a sushi chef, but the restaurant that employed him did not make enough money to pay him. After eight months of unemployment, Fumi received a call from Wa owners Soo Yang and Bokyeong Park, who had heard about him through a mutual friend. Though candid when questioned, Fumi asked to keep details of his past to himself. "Now I am just cook," he said repeatedly. While Fumi's explanation is convenient, it is hardly adequate to describe the 15-hour workdays he has put in since arriving in Lawrence a week ago. Fumi's work ethic demands that he always put the customer first, no matter what he may be feeling inside. "Whenever I'm tired or exhausted or sad day or really happy day I have to keep going same rhythm," he said. "I'm not clown, but I have to do it." When it comes to preparing food, though, Fumi would have to be a clown to mask his pride. The restaurant's menu will change to accommodate Fumi's style, which combines elements of French and Japanese cooking. "I am number one," he said. "I never lose." "A Sushi chef can make it. Can you believe it?" he said, pointing to a French creme de l'anglaise dessert. - Edited by Saju Ng'alla WORLD'S GREATEST Gourmet Sandwiches THE MEAT REASON WE LOVE MEATS.

STUDENT SENATE 4 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS 7 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 ZONING Lawrence approves request to investigate proposed code By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The city of Lawrence granted the University of Kansas' request for a study group to investigate the proposed Lawrence Development Code. The University asked for the study group because the proposal would give city officials more power over campus expansion. Both sides will appoint group members. Mike Wildgen, City Manager, said the disagreement between the University and the city was over section 2-19 of the development code, which calls for a buffer area at least 150-feet-wide on University property to separate it and surrounding land. According to a letter from Provost David Shulenburger to Wildgen, if the city adopts the new code, city officials would have influence over structures inside the 150-foot buffer, including the Malott gateway, 15th and Iowa St., GSP-Corbin Hall and Memorial Stadium. Wildgen said the purpose of the proposal was not to review building renovations, but to make sure the uses of those buildings were compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods. "We don't care where the University puts the daffodils," Wildgen said. Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, said he was glad the city commissioners agreed to appoint a study group. "Everyone agrees that this is an important proposal," Weinberg said. "We need to find some common ground." Weinberg said it was premature to discuss the issues that would be brought up in the study group. Weinberg and Wildgen both said they looked forward to an amicable solution to the problem and that the city and University had always had good relations. "We share the same city and the same goals," Weinberg said. DIVERSITY - Edited by Kevin Wiggs Affirmative action ruling won't affect KU admissions By Brandon Baker bbaker@kansan.com kansan staff writer A majority of the Supreme Court said a diverse college campus population benefited all students and society at large, and colleges may pick their students based, in part, on race. By a 5 to 4 vote on Monday, the high court upheld the concept of affirmative action at public universities. The ruling said government has an interest in ensuring a better shot for minorities at getting into top-notch colleges. In decisions involving the University of Michigan, the majority ruled that race can be one of the factors that colleges use to pick their students, so long as it is not the only factor. The court's ruling to uphold affirmative action dealt only with the case of three prospective Michigan law students who sued the university over its policy. The court also struck down a more rigid point-based screening system used to weed out applicants at Michigan's undergraduate campus. Though some observers might expect the ruling to have a wide ripple effect through other public and private institutions, administrators at the University of Kansas did not foresee any significant changes in admissions policies. "We don't use race as a factor in undergraduate admissions," said Lisa Pinamonti, director of admissions and scholarships at the University of Kansas. "We never use that type of admissions process. If you meet requirements you're admitted." The Associated Press contributed to this story. Edited by Kevin Wiggs. Paradise Is Only Blocks Away! Paradise Café Paradise Is Only Blocks Away!

By Brandon Baker bbaker@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Zach Straus/Kansan The 22nd annual St. John's Fiesta Mexicana concluded Saturday night after two days of food, music, dancing and games. St. John the Evangelist Church sponsors the festival annually to raise money for the church and St. John's School. Frank Lemus, Lawrence resident and member of St. John's, said the food was what drew people back year after year. "The food is the heart and soul of the festival," Lemus said. "Without it the festival wouldn't function." In January, members of the church began preparing the tamales, Loretta Chavez said. The morning of the festival, 15 "faithful ladies" began steaming the tamales. "I didn't get to see the daylight," Chavez, Lawrence resident, said. "I got there at 5 a.m." She worked until 9 p.m. Saturday preparing 1,500 enchiladas for the festival. "I do it for church because that's what it's really all about," Chavez said. Chavez's two daughters, Christie Green and Kathy Douglas, were with her in the kitchen. Green and Douglas, both Lawrence residents, have assisted with the festival since they were children, Chavez said. Families help in the kitchen,but are also drawn to the festivities outside. Chara and Steve Mock, Lawrence residents, brought their daughters to the festival because of the "good families" there. Families were just one type of crowd drawn to the festival's food, music, beer, dancing and games, according to Buddy Langford, a church member. "There are three crowds that come; a crowd that comes to eat, a family crowd and a party crowd," Langford said. Shane Meyer, Lawrence resident, said the festival unified the city and was an important part of Lawrence. "I don't care if you're from Lawrence or KU, you gotta come," Meyer said. "This is awesome — this is Lawrence." — Edited by Maggie Newcomer Construction dust sets off Strong Hall fire alarms By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The increase in fire alarm calls to Strong Hall has nothing to do with fire. Les Rollins, physical plant supervisor for facilities operations instrumentation, said the SimplexGrinnell alarms were going off as a result of dust from construction in the building. James Long, vice provost of facilities planning and management, said the offending construction was in room 29 of Strong Hall. "The alarms can't tell the difference between dust and smoke," Rollins said. Rollins said he noticed an increase in calls to the hall after construction began this summer. According to the Lawrence Journal World, there have been six fire alarms at Strong Hall since the end of the spring semester. The instrumentation department can disable an alarm from the Dole Human Development Center, where the department is located. But, he said, contractors in Strong Hall didn't know to call facilities operations and had been calling the police instead. Rollins said facilities operations responded to all fire alarms on campus, with the most common cause being burnt popcorn. Rollins blamed human error, not alarm sensitivity, for the false alarms. He said someone was ignoring procedures and not informing facilities operations when the alarms went off. Bob Rombach, University fire marshal coordinator, agreed that procedures were not being followed. Long said the alarms were not malfunctioning, they were detecting a problem and going off. "The alarm shouldn't be going off all the time." Rombach said. "I'm not going to say that it's not inconvenient," Long said. The alarms, installed in Strong Hall in 1998, can calculate the percentage of smoke, or dust, in the air, Rollins said. When that percentage reaches a dangerous level, the alarm sounds. Tammara Durham, associate director of the Freshmen-Sophomore Advising Center, works in Strong Hall. She said she had gotten used to the fire alarms and was no longer surprised when they went off. "We joke that they're more likely to go off when it's raining," Durham said. "Then we'd all have to stand in the rain for 20 minutes." Although employees in Strong Hall have adapted to the alarms, Long said he wasn't worried that people would stop taking the alarms seriously. He said every time an alarm sounded, everyone took the proper precautions. -Edited by Annie Bernethy 70 6 OPINION WWW.KANSAN.COM/OPINION/ Tell us your opinion Contact the Kansan at editor@kansan.com or call 864-4854.

Here are some quick examples of how I, Tim Sears, have noticed that Apple Computer took a simple concept and made it complicated. COMMENTARY Staci Wolfe and Tim Sears geekspeak@kansan.com For some inane reason, the manufacturers of Macs have decided that to eject a disk, the user must drag a copy of the image from the desktop into the trash can or press the up arrow key. If the keyboard doesn't work, CD ejection requires minor surgery with a paper clip. Would it really be so hard to put an eject button on the computer itself? I don't think so. To me, the naming conventions of the Microsoft operating system make sense, whereas you need a dictionary and reference manual to decipher the Mac OS. Of course, I am exaggerating the insanity of the Mac a little bit, but this is not just an isolated example. Another quick example of how Mac can be confusing is somehow the Mac engineers thought it was necessary to have two separate Applications folders. One called Applications and one called Applications (Mac OS). AAAARGH!!! Yes, Macs are sleek and sexy. They are visually appealing and do a great job creating images and graphics. But in the computer world, functionality triumphs over appearance nearly every time. Do you want a computer that is sexy or usable? For almost every task, a Windows-compatible software application exists. Not so when dealing with Macs. Many of the top producers of computer software do not design Mac-compatible products. When they do, it is an afterthought. Try to find a good word processing program that works well with a Mac. The Microsoft Office programs — such as Outlook and Word — dominate the market. Does anyone still use Claris Works, which was developed for the Mac? I rest my case. Even the Mac world is gradually being overtaken by Microsoft products.

WEDNESDAY,JUNE 25,2003 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 7 1 POLICE Web site aids search for Leawood killer By Annie Berneth aberneth@kansan Kansan staff writer Phil Howes, Leawood junior, is still searching for the person who murdered his girlfriend. Ali Kemp, a Kansas State University student, was murdered June 18, 2002 while working at the Foxborough neighborhood pool in Leawood. Since her death, Howes has been on a mission to find the killer. With the help of his friends and Kemp's family, Howes has been working on raising money for the Ali Kemp Foundation. Howes' KU fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Kemp's sorority worked together and raised more than $12,000 for the foundation. I am a teacher at the school. I am very happy to teach my students here. I enjoy teaching because it helps them learn new things and build their skills. I love working with students and helping them achieve their goals. I am always ready to help my students succeed in their studies. Kemp Ali Kemp, a Kansas State University student, was murdered June 18,2002 in Leawood. Howes created a Web site with physical descriptions and police sketches of the suspect. He sent an e-mail about the Web site to everyone he knew asking them to forward it to everyone they knew. "I am trying to get it across the country," Howes said. He said he sent the email to the presidents of all the fraternities and sororities on campus and to Kemp's K-State sorority, Pi Beta Phi. Those organizations then sent it to all their members. Police are still working hard to find the suspect, said Sgt. Scott Hansen, Leawood Police detective. Hansen said police had not identified the suspect, but they continued to eliminate possible suspects. There are four detectives working on the case. "They don't have any solid leads,but tips come in all the time," he said. Howes said he sent all the leads he received to the Leawood Police Department. "We probably get around eight to 10 leads a week," Hansen said. MARCUS DAVIDSON Contributed by www.ali-forever.com This is a composite sketch of the suspect.

INTERNSHIPS By Richard Gintowt rgintowt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Nineteen University of Kansas students are in Washington, D.C., this summer working on political internships. The students picked their own internships, which range from working in the offices of Kansas senators and representatives to working for lobbying groups, labor unions and non-profit organizations. Clay Britton, Olathe senior, is spending the summer in the office of U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas). Britton is double majoring in political science and history and said the coolest part of the experience was doing background research on bills. Britton is preparing a memo to help Moore understand the background of a bill on funding for colleges with more than 25 percent Hispanic enrollment. Britton also gives tours of the Capitol to Kansas constituents who come to visit. "It reminds you of where you are," he said. "You don't really understand how Leah Cummings, Lawrence junior, said her initial attraction to the internship program was "to get out of Lawrence," but the experience has proven to be invaluable. things work until you're up here," said Cummings, who also works for Moore. "I didn't realize how busy everyone is." Cummings said the biggest surprise was seeing how much time the Representatives spent out of the House Chamber. "Everything that happens here happens outside the Chamber," she said. "The first time I went into the chamber, there were five people in there. It doesn't always look like it does on C-SPAN." Gina Kohake, KU journalism graduate spent last summer writing press releases for Moore's office. She plans to look for jobs in Washington, D.C., this fall. “It's the place where all the passionate young people go,” Kohake said. “You know so much of what's going on in the world just because you live in that city.” Kohake said her dream job would be to be press secretary for the White House. Washington D.C., interns also have the opportunity to see guest speakers. Past speakers include Colin Powell and Ralph Nader. Burdett Loomis, professor of political science established the Washington, D.C., internship program in 1984. More than 400 students have participated in the program, which is open to students from other universities. - Edited by Brandon Baker DONATION New engineering building named in honor of donor The unfinished engineering building in front of Learned Hall finally has a name. The building will be named after Robert J. Eaton, Chrysler Corp, chairman emeritus and retired DaimlerChrysler AG chairman, pending approval from the Board of Regents at its meeting today. Eaton pledged $5 million to the $15 million building, which will be dedicated in November. The gift is one of the top-10 largest single gifts to the Kansas University Endowment Association. Eaton is a 1963 University of Kansas graduate in mechanical engineering. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said Eaton's gift was an extraordinary act of generosity from someone who had demonstrated how far someone could go with a KU education. "I hope it inspires other engineering students to dream of the same kind of success," Hemenway said. The 80,000-square-foot building will be finished in time for the fall semester and includes a multimedia classroom, instructional and computer labs, an atrium and the engineering school's administrative offices. Maggie Newcomer WEDNESDAY, JUNE25, 2003 NEWS 5 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 9 MONEY Financial aid eligibility might change By Ehren Meditz emeditz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer As the Board of Regents mulls over a proposed tuition increase, KU students could also be eligible for less federal financial aid money because of a change in an aid formula by the U.S. Department of Education. The Department uses the formula, called the Expected Family Contribution formula, in a needs analysis to gauge how much income families have available to pay for college tuition. This analysis mandates how most of the financial aid funds should be spent, beginning in fall of 2004. Tax information supplied by Internal Revenue Service is used in the formula, but the most recent information dates back to 2000. "For the most part, the changes have been minor." said Ken Redd, director of research for the National Alliance of Student Financial Aid Administrators. "This change is unique because the data is based on tax estimates that are three years old when times have gone from good to bad." "This change is unique because the data is based on tax estimates that are three years old when times have gone from good to bad." Ken Redd National Alliance of Student Financial Aid Administrators research director Redd said the change could affect students differently based on family income, costs of attendance and changes in state and local taxes. He estimated that students in Kansas with a median-level family income of $50,000 could see a reduction of between $500 and $700 in available federal financial aid during an academic year. Brenda Maigaard, director of student financial aid, said the potential impacts concerned her. "I don't think we have enough details on exactly how or how much this proposed change will impact student eligibility for federal financial aid," Maigaard said. "We need to ensure that any change to the needs analysis formula does not adversely affect students with demonstrated financial need." "For the most part, the changes have been minor." Redd said. "This change is unique because the data is based on tax estimates that are three years old when times have gone from good to bad." Redd said the largest impact would be in Pell grants. A reduction in Pell grant eligibility would force some students into working more hours or taking out more loans, he said. The change has caught the eye of some in Congress, and some legislators, such as U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, have introduced bills to limit the impact of the change. "A restructuring of the Expected Family Contribution could price students out of quality educations, closing doors to Kansans and causing serious setbacks in our high standards of learning," said U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas). Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence), associate vice provost for student affairs, said that reducing aid available for students was problematic. "Any time we reduce our aid, it really does place a lot of burden on the students," Ballard said. "If you're putting an extreme burden on students, then you don't have the educated citizenry that you need." — Edited by Brandon Baker HEALTH Tick infestation increases during summer By Kevin Wiggs kwiggs@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Jack Desmond and a friend were taking another bike ride around Clinton Lake, a familiar activity on a sunny summer afternoon, jumping rocks and flying through the brush. When they finished their trip, they went through another routine — picking the blood-sucking black spots off their bodies. But one must have gone unnoticed because in about 10 days Desmond had to limp when he walked because of the pain in his foot. Soon a rash crawled up his leg, so he went to see his doctor. "It started like nothing but my foot got painful and swollen," said Desmond, Leawood senior. "I thought I had kicked something in my sleep. I couldn't bend my toes and could barely walk." Greg Burg, assistant director of undergraduate biology at the University of Kansas, said this year could be a banner year for the tick population in Kansas. Burg said the increased presence of ticks probably came from one of three factors: presence or absence of the animals that they feed on, changes in land use and weather and the ticks' preference of warm and moist conditions. Ticks are more active in the summer. because, like insects, they do not function in the cold. Their only time for activity is in the spring, summer and early fall. While the summer has much to do with tick presence, so does the previous winter. A very cold winter can kill a large portion of the ticks, so there are less when summer rolls around. Burg said many myths surrounded ticks, including the belief that they are capable of dropping from trees. "They live in low brush and grass," he said. "They can't rain upon you from the trees." Other myths involve the removal of the blood-craving pests. Home remedies such as burning the tick with a match or covering it with Vaseline can get the critter off, but increase the risk of contracting a disease that the tick might carry. Burg said the best way to remove a tick was to grasp it with some tweezers as close to the skin as possible and to pull it straight away from the body without twisting or smashing. Removal within 24 hours of being bitten greatly reduces the risk of contracting a disease. Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever are the most common tick-related ailments in this area, said Kathy Colson, a registered nurse at the Douglas County Health Department. Lyme disease caused at least one million LYME DISEASE SYMPTOMS LYME DISEASE SYMPTOMS large red rash resembling a bull's-eye fatigue fever stiff neck ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER SYMPTOMS rash on arms and legs sudden fever chills headache Source: Douglas County Health Department people in the last 20 years, said the Lyme disease Network of New Jersey's Web site. There have been four reported cases of Lyme disease in Douglas County since 2001, but Colson said a lot of people get sick but don't see a doctor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta reported Lyme disease infected 16,000 each year and was most common in the northeastern states. "They get the general yucks and it seems like the flu," she said. "Some cases are persistent and the person will eventually go to the doctor." Rocky Mountain spotted fever is less of a problem both locally and nationally, with 250 to 1200 cases annually, the CDC said. It kills 3 to 5 percent of the people it infects. There have been no reported cases in Douglas County since 2001, Colson said. But Burg said people should not be overly worried about the risks of contracting one of these diseases. He said only about 1 percent of ticks carried diseases, and the tick would have to be attached for more than 24 hours to infect its host. Burg said the best way to prevent attracting ticks was to: Wear light-colored long pants and long-sleeved shirts Tuck pants into socks Apply an insect repellent containing DEET. "You should create a physical barrier between the ticks and your skin," Burg said. "They live in lower vegetation, so it's most important to protect from the waist down." The tick that was on Desmond's foot resulted in two hospital visits in the weeks following his bike adventure. After the first visit he got some antibiotics, but they were ineffective. Desmond returned to the hospital to get another dose of stronger antibiotics, which rid him of the affliction. - Edited by Saju Ng'alla and Maggie Newcomer 10 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 MIDDLE EAST Bush rewards Pakistanis for antiterrorism efforts The Associated Press CAMP DAVID, Md. — It's only a matter of time before Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were captured or accounted for, President Bush said yesterday as he announced $3 billion in military and economic aid to reward Pakistan for its help in the war on terror.

POLITICS Republicans use Web site for scrutiny of Rep. Moore By Ehren Meditz emeditz@kansan.com Kansan staff writer In between political science and philosophy homework, George Durrenberger, Derby junior, works to end U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore's (D-Kansas) political career. Durrenberger, KU College Republicans events coordinator and political science major, designs the Web site www.dennismoorewatch.com with Tim Burger, KU graduate and former chairman of the College Republicans, who writes and edits the site's content. Burger said the site aimed to contrast Moore's actions in Washington, D.C., with what he said in Kansas. The idea's inception began with discussions in the Johnson County Republican Party. The Web site was unveiled in April and gets about four to six hits a day, but "We want to talk about his actual voting record and we thought doing something like this makes that a two-year discussion instead of a two-minute discussion," Burger said. Durrenberger said he expected that number to increase. Moore said he had not heard of the site, but that he was not an ideologue. "I don't vote for liberal or conservative ideas," Moore said. "I'm not in anybody's pocket and I'm willing to cross party lines for good ideas." "The site is a predictably amateur attempt to smear a respected congressman who has beaten back repeated Republican attempts to oust him from his district," Goode said. Mark Goode, president of KU Young Democrats, said the Web site contained numerous distortions. Durrenberger said he would approach other Kansas college Republican groups to link to the Dennis Moore Watch site. Moore was elected to Kansas 3rd District U.S. House seat, which includes the University of Kansas, in 1998. Last year, Moore defeated Republican Adam Taff with 50 percent of the vote. - Edited by Amy Kelly Rents Starting at $260 JEFFERSON COMMONS unique student apartments Refer-a-Friend and get a $200 Gift Certificate* *Call for Details Home is where your FRIENDS are.

But this was not Allen Fieldhouse before a game against Missouri, it was Borders Books, Musica and Cafe on the night of the release of J.K. Rowling's fifth Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. 10 Julia Shultz, Dodge City senior, paints the face of Kylee Emerson, a 10-year-old Topeka resident. Face painting was one of the activities offered at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix release party at Borders Books, Music and Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., Friday night. The fifth installment of the children's novel was officially released Saturday morning, but over 1,000 people spent Friday night at Borders, 700 New Hampshire, to pick up their reserved copy or partake in pre-Potter activities, such as face painting, a treasure hunt and a costume contest. store manager of Borders. "Everyone was ready to read." Zach Straus/Kansan "I've been in the book business for 20 years now, and this is the most anticipated book I've ever seen," said Doug Weaver. After the stroke of midnight, the book could be sold for the first time. Weaver said Borders received 1,200 books in its first shipment, but all of them were reserved for people that pre-ordered. At 8 p.m.the first groups arrived, and at 10 p.m.a line was forming. As new owners of the book emerged from the store, some sat on the curb and began reading. Others tried to read as they walked to their cars. By the end of the night, or at 1:45 a.m. when Borders closed, 400 books were gone. Those 400 counted toward the biggest book opening sale in history. Five million copies of Phoenix were sold on its first day, breaking the record of three million set by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire released three years ago. Borders depleted its supply by Sunday, a fate shared by many Lawrence bookstores. Hastings, 1900 W 23rd St., the Raven Bookstore, 6 E 7th St., and Children's Book Shop, 937 Massachusetts, were all sold out by Monday morning. Only Oread Bookstore in the Kansas Union had copies left after Sunday. All have since restocked or will restock this week. Amanda Rogers, Wichita senior, worked at Borders the night of the release and said parents were more zealous about getting a copy than the children. Marla Hefty, English lecturer at the University, said she was glad to be part of a phenomenon that got kids reading. "It's a delight to see kids buying an 800- page book and reading it multiple times," she said. Serena Tongiani, a visiting professor of pharmaceutical chemistry from Italy, said she reserved her copy four months ago. "It won't come out until December in Italy, so I want to read it and tell them what happens," she said. - Edited by Amy Kelly THURSDAY IS DRAFT DAY!

But Jon Keith Swindell's exhibit On Being Blue: Dream Portals and War Diaries is breathing life into the forgotten diarists' words. "If you don't imagine what you'd look like if you were blown to pieces, there is nothing to be afraid of," Mariel Vaughan wrote in one of the archived diaries. "I just don't use my imagination." The materials used range from an optical lens and light to fabric and wood. Swindell asked several former KU students to participate in the project, particularly with pieces that involved digital imagery. "I just decided it was a real opportunity for me to call upon people who have expertise and many of them are students," Swindell said. "The collaborative process on my part I guess is what comes around, goes around. Learning comes full circle." On Being Blue: Dream Portals and War Diaries, displayed at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., examines the diaries of women who lived similar lives to Swindell's mother from 1939 to 1945. Swindell's mother lived in England during World War II with her aviator husband. While on sabbatical in England, Swindell, professor of design at the University of Kansas, poured through archives to discover 120 diarists who would have lived and breathed the same environment as his mother. Swindell said On Being Blue addressed the diary narratives but was not meant to be a literal translation. "We're not trying to say, 'Here's this entry and here's the absolute, analogous result,'" Swindell said. "These pieces respond to it." He said although digital imagery had received the spotlight in the contemporary art world, he decided not to shift his focus immediately from a handsaw to a computer. Swindell asked former students Dimitre Barde, Carolyn Richardson, Steven Elliott, Nicola Ginzel and Marc Berghaus to contribute ideas for On Being Blue. images, interactive narratives or materials. Swindell would build structures to encase their offerings. Barde worked on several pieces including "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida/War Dream of Mariel Vaughan," which features the shadowy figure of a woman against a background containing a projected single tower. Although a silhouetted body is visible, most of the facial features are not only eyes peer out at the viewer. Barde, who graduated in 1990 and is now a freelance photographer in Chicago, said he recalled vividly when Swindell asked him to participate in the project. "I was pretty blown away by it," Barde said. "He is just one of the top instructors in my opinion. There might be 30 kids in his class and he finds a way to connect with them all." After Barde discussed his ideas for the digital photography he wanted to use in On Being Blue, a peer-to-peer relationship evolved. "I realized at that moment that he was no different than you or I," Barde said. Swindell collaborated with New York artist Ginzel on "Love is All Around/Olivia Cockett," a piece that exercises the human eye. To see a woman covered in red silk, the viewers must press their eyes against an optical lens. The artist said he changed the sizes of the holes when he realized many people would not make an effort to discover what lay behind the lens. "This one goes more to what I wanted to do with this show than anything else," said Swindell who originally made small viewing holes for most of the pieces. Although most of the pieces revolve around the words of women he never met, one piece standing in the center of the gallery celebrates Swindell's mother, who died after a battle with Alzheimer's disease. "This is the one I didn't give up on," said Swindell, pointing to the Ginzel collaborative piece. "Elevator of Dreams/Infamous Angel" towers like a steel cathedral with a glowing photo of his mother at its peak. Swindell said the piece still evoked an emotional reaction within him even though he finished it five years ago. Swindell said On Being Blue helped him understand his family history.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 1 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 13 MUSIC The Hiss draw praise, make Lawrence debut By Amy Kelly Kansan staff writer akellykansan.com There's a buzz about The Hiss. The Atlanta band is not even two years old yet, but The Hiss is already on the lips of rock royalty. While other new bands may have to beg and plead to earn an opening slot for big-name bands, Oasis' guitarist Noel Gallagher and the White Stripes' Jack White personally requested that The Hiss open for them at concerts. "Jack White has been a super nice guy," vocalist Adrian Barrera said. "It's not like we're best friends or anything yet, but he has been really supportive of us from the beginning." Local audiences can affirm or discredit White's praise when The Hiss makes its Lawrence debut at the Bottleneck on July 2. Guitarist Ian Franco said he was grateful for the sudden praise, but the best aspect of the exposure was the freedom. “It's just really nice that playing music is now our job,” Franco said. “We actually have an outlet.” Former Floridians Barrera and drummer Todd Galpin said moving to Atlanta music scene allowed them more leeway with their grittier rock. "They put a lot of pressure on bands in Tampa since it's a college town," Barrera said. "I think the Atlanta scene is pretty laid back and more open." The Hiss has not signed an American record label deal, but opted in December to work with Loop Records of England. The band said the creative flexibility allowed at Loog Records was something that was missing from many of the U.S. labels. "We spent a year talking to different labels and got a big runaround," said Barrera, who added that the U.S. labels he talked with wanted a little too much right off the bat. "They expect more on the first date. We're old-fashioned girls." "That is definitely our side priority right now," Barrera said. "We're Americans, you know?" Not to say that the band doesn't want to eventually secure an American contract. Playing live has provided the band's primary source of exposure, but bassist Johnny Kral said he enjoyed the touring experience for more than just the marketing value. "Playing all these different places, I just want to soak it all in," Kral said. "That was the coolest part of the experience." Whether the band lives up to the hype may not be determined until Aug. 11, when The Hiss' debut record, Panic Movement arrives in stores. Brian Cooley, The Hiss' publicist, said even for a band with so much celebrity support, word of mouth and radio airplay were still essential for audiences to become familiar with the band.

For many, soy drinks have been popular, especially for lactose-intolerant and health conscious individuals. — Edited by Kevin Wiggs Soy beer was introduced to the public in 1999 by the Court Avenue Beer Company in Des Moines, Iowa. The beer is made up of 15 percent soybean, along with other ingredients normally involved in the brewing process. "I don't drink a lot of beer because it tastes bad," said Luana Ma, a junior psychology major at Washington State University. "But if it tastes good, has less carbohydrates and it is good for your diet than why the hell not?" The company expects in the near future that 20,000 acres of the state's land will be used for the production of soybeans for the beer.

Ed Pugh (R-Wamego) to keep his driver's license following his arrest for drunken driving, state records show. Pugh, 53, vice chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was arrested after being involved in a non-injury accident in downtown Topeka. Department of Revenue records show that a Topeka police officer was supposed to wait 20 minutes after Pugh's Jan. 3 arrest before administering a Brethalyzer test. But the officer acknowledged during the agency's hearing that he might have given the test a minute and 50 seconds early, according to notes compiled at the hearing by the person presiding. "Based on the hearing officer's determination that the proper testing procedures were not followed, the administrative action on Senator Pugh's license was dismissed," the department's statement said. Pugh wrote a letter of apology to the arresting officers and promised to seek alcohol treatment as part of an agreement under which the criminal drunken driving charge against him was dismissed. May jobless rate increases beyond market expectations TOPEKA (AP) — A return of warm weather fueled a bright state economic report for May and optimism that the worst problems may be over. May's jobless rate declined to 4.4 percent from a revised 4.8 percent in April. That compares with 6.1 percent unemployment nationally and 4.8 percent for Kansas in May 2002. "That's a little bit larger than we expected it to drop," said Bill Layes, chief of labor market information for the Department of Human Resources. "It's promising." Employment gained about 4,000 jobs in May, with construction, government and leisure or hospitality sectors leading the way. In addition, the number of unemployed Kansans dropped by 5,900 to 64,000. First-time jobless claims fell, as well, to 12,817. Kansas woman diagnosed, treated in monkeypox case TOPEKA (AP) — The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that a northeast Kansas woman contracted the state's first case of monkeypox, officials said Monday. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced the findings from the center, which is based in Atlanta. KDHE had sent preliminary results from its tests to the center for further examination. The woman, who has not been identified by name or hometown, was bitten by a prairie dog around June 1 while visiting a northwest Missouri man. She was released Thursday from Saint John Hospital in Leavenworth. Three family members were given the smallpox vaccine as a precaution, said Sharon Watson, KDHE spokeswoman. Monkeypox, a west African disease not previously seen in the Western Hemisphere, is related to smallpox but is not as lethal. It causes rashes, chills and fever. The CDC has confirmed nine monkeypox cases in Wisconsin, six in Indiana, five in Illinois and one each in Kansas and Missouri. Health officials expect increase in West Nile cases in Kansas HUTCHINSON (AP) State health officials expect an increase in cases of West Nile virus in Kansas this year. "We are expecting this year to be worse than last year because it's the second year for West Nile in Kansas and other states have seen an increase in the second year," said Sharon Watson, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Health. So far this year, no cases have been reported in Kansas. The anticipated increase stems from birds that are expected to migrate from eastern states with higher concentrations of the virus. Watson said some mosquitoes carrying the virus last summer also were probably able to survive the winter and pass it on to their offspring. Kansas had 22 confirmed human cases of the virus in 2002. West Nile also was found in animals, birds or mosquitoes in 103 of the state's 105 counties. Those cases peaked in August and September and the same is expected this year. Kline to seek anti-porn filters at schools,public libraries TOPEKA (AP) — Calling the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding antipornography filters in libraries a "breath of fresh air," Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline said Monday he will seek legislation next year. Kline said he also would like to require schools, as well as libraries, to put filters on computers that children may use. "The Court agrees that our constitution permits protections to allow our children to learn in an environment free from the onslaught of pornographic and obscene materials," Kline said in a statement. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress can force public libraries to use anti-pornography filters if they want to receive federal funds. State Librarian Duane Johnson questioned the need for a state law, saying the federal one is comprehensive. The majority of Kansas' public libraries already have such filters, which Johnson opposes. The American Library Association has opposed the use of filters. NATION Program looks to Bush for help in funding of volunteer work WASHINGTON (AP) — Nonprofit groups struggling with AmeriCorps funding cutbacks sought help Friday from the White House to save the jobs of thousands of young volunteers. The House passed legislation last Thursday that aimed to fix accounting problems at the Corporation for National and Community Service, which oversees AmeriCorps. The Senate approved the measure last Wednesday. The bill now goes to President Bush, who commended lawmakers for helping to put "AmeriCorps on a sound financial footing." AmeriCorps' education trust has been the source of much of the agency's troubles. The agency had not been putting into the trust enough money to cover the $4,725 education grant it awards each volunteer. The agency withheld some money based on enrollment and interest income estimates. The corporation also approved more slots for volunteers last year than its money would cover. That contributed to the cuts announced this week in state competitive grants, which were slashed by about 80 percent. Canada's new marijuana law could bring border problems WASHINGTON (AP)]-U.S. officials, already concerned about illegal drugs coming across the Canadian border, are warning that a Canadian plan to decriminalize marijuana use could lead to more inspections and long border delays. "We don't want the northern border to be a trafficking route for drugs," said Asa Hutchinson, undersecretary for border and transportation security for the Department of Homeland Security. Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien's administration introduced legislation in late May that would essentially make the penalty for possession of small amounts of marijuana equivalent to a traffic ticket. The bill would boost penalties for growing and trafficking marijuana. The Canadian proposal "is amazing to us," said Dave McEachran, prosecuting attorney in Whatcom County, along the Washington state border. McEachran's office prosecutes hundreds of federal drug cases a year resulting from arrests at the Blaine, Wash., border—the busiest crossing west of Detroit. In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2002, some 20,213 pounds of marijuana was seized along the northern border, compared with more than 1.2 million pounds along the southwest border, Customs figures show. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE --- WEDNESDAY,JUNE25,2003 NEWS IN BRIEF THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 15 INCOME Study finds rural workers earning less than urbanites The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — Rural workers in a six-state area of the Midwest earned less than half of what those employed in urban counties made, according to a study released yesterday. The study, conducted by small farm advocate Center for Rural Affairs in Walthill, Neb., said the gap between rural and urban incomes had widened. It looked at income by county in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. The study found the workers in rural counties made about 48 percent of what their metro-area counterparts made in 2000. That compared with the 58 percent rural workers earned to metro workers' earnings in 1990. The report was the third in a series the Center for Rural Affairs has compiled on economic conditions in the six-state region since 1970. Statistics for the report are compiled from U.S. Census and U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data. The latest report also showed that agricultural-based counties lost nearly 9 percent of their population from 1990 to 2000, compared with a 7 percent population gain for the entire six-state region. Rural workers in a six-state area of the Midwest earned less than half of what those employed in urban counties made, according to a study released by the Center for Rural Affairs. The center said the gap between rural and urban incomes has widened. "Federal rural development policy should be regionally based rather than nationally based so as to address the unique issues, challenges and opportunities in the agriculturally-based communities of this six-state region," the report suggests. Rural America needs more targeted aid for economic development, including tax incentives for small business and individual development accounts report analysts said. "To continue doing the same thing will only lead to another generation of higher poverty and lower income," said Jon Bailey, the group's director of rural research and analysis. "More people are moving to urban areas for jobs and opportunities. The past three years I have been working to address the issue of out-migration," Hagel said. CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE New Jersey to spend $22 million to bolster child welfare agency TRENTON, N.J. (AP) Under a settlement with a children's rights group, New Jersey must immediately spend an extra $22.3 million to bolster its child welfare agency and allow an independent panel to oversee major reforms, the group said yesterday. New York-based Children's Rights Inc. sued in 1999 to force changes at the troubled Division of Youth and Family Services, which handles cases of neglected and abused children and the state's foster care system. The division came under intense pressure for reform in January, when the decomposed body of 7-year-old Faheem Williams was discovered in a storage bin in a home in Newark. His twin brother, Raheem, and their 4-year-old half brother, Tyrone Hill, were found alive but emaciated in an adjoining basement room. The settlement, reached Monday and confirmed yesterday by Children's Rights, requires the state to provide $22.35 million to hire new employees for the agency and provide work space and equipment. The state also must spend $1.5 million more to recruit foster parents. Officers were sent to the residence about noon Monday after receiving reports of gunshots, police said. MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A man accused of killing two of his teenage stepsons surrendered early yesterday after a 13-hour standoff at a home. Man surrenders after allegedly killing two teenage stepsons They found an 18-year-old lying in the driveway with gunshot wounds. A 15-year-old boy was found in the house after the man surrendered, officials said. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. The man who surrendered had not been charged by late morning. Police said they did not know the motive for the killings. During the standoff, tear gas was fired into the house, and the man stepped outside armed with a rifle, threatening officers, police said. He retreated inside and a second round of tear gas later brought him back out of the house to surrender. The teenagers' mother arrived home from Chicago, where her sister died Sunday of cancer, to find police surrounding her home, said Rev. John Harris of Mount Zion Baptist Church. "She was in a state of shock," Harris said. WORLD Dormitory collapses in Turkey kills at least five students ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) — A student dormitory at an Islamic school exploded and collapsed in central Turkey early Friday, killing at least five students and trapping five others. Rescuers managed to pull 16 students out of the rubble after the explosion in Kayseri, some 480 miles southeast of Istanbul. The Anatolia news agency said 13 students were being treated for injuries. "Unfortunately there are five deaths," Mayor Mehmet Ozhaseki told private CNN-Turk television. "Five others have not been reached yet." Ozhaseki said a gas canister had likely exploded in the kitchen, causing the building's collapse around 2:30 a.m. "Everyone was sleeping. Then they started screaming," an injured student told NTV at the hospital. Officials said the students were staying at the dormitory while taking a course on how to read and recite the Quran. Animal rights activists spray CEO with fake blood, feathers FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Animal rights activists in Germany sprayed fake blood and threw chicken feathers on the chief of YUM! Brands, owner of the world's largest chicken restaurant chain, KFC, as he opened a new restaurant Monday in the city of Garbsen, Germany. The protest targeting YUM! Brands' David Novak was aimed at raising attention to what activists from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) called KFC's cruelty to chickens during the raising, transport and slaughter of the animals, said Juergen Faulmann, who said he organized the protest for the German branch of the organization. The company called for the perpetrators to be prosecuted. "They've crossed the line from simply expressing their views to corporate attacks and personal violence," said YUM! Brands representative Jonathan Blum. Police in Garbsen, near the central German city of Hanover, said they were searching for suspects. Faulmann said two activists had been involved in the incident and both had fled. Final SARS travel advisory lifted in China capital BEIJING (AP)—The World Health Organization lifted a warning against travel to China's capital because of SARS yesterday, the last remaining place on its list. The decision was based on factors including the number of current SARS cases, quality of surveillance and the effectiveness of prevention measures, said Shigeru Omi, WHO regional director for the western Pacific region. Beijing was the last remaining place under a WHO travel advisory because of the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome that surfaced in southern China in November. Toronto and Taiwan remain on a list of places with recent local transmissions of the disease, but travel advisories against them have been lifted. Beijing was also removed from the WHO list of places with recent local SARS transmissions. The disease has killed more than 800 people, and infected more than 8,400. American accused of spying held by Indonesian military William Nessen, a freelance journalist from New York who says he is in Acheh as a reporter, has been with the rebels since Indonesia launched its latest offensive against the Free Acheh Movement separatists on May 19. NISAM, Indonesia (AP)]—An American traveling with rebels in Acheh province surrendered yesterday to Indonesia's military, which has threatened to prosecute him for allegedly spying. The military has repeatedly demanded he leave the rebels, and have questioned whether Nessen, whose wife is Achenese, is really a journalist. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists and the U.S. Embassy have urged President Megawati Sukarnoputri to help Nessen leave Acheh safely. Nessen was met by a U.S. Embassy official and a senior officer from the Indonesian military when he gave himself up in Paya Dua village in the north of the province. Acheh military operation commander Brig. Gen. Bambang Darmono said Nessen would be interrogated before being handed over to police in Banda Acheh. 16 • THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FEATURE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 DOWNTOWN Farmers, flourish do By Jennifer Wellington jwellington@kansan.com Kansan staff writer Another goal of the board was ensuring that the vendors were in charge of the market and that everything remains a democratic process, Bean said. The market has grown to include 68 vendors and is open three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On Saturday morning in the summer, downtown Lawrence bustles with customers eager to buy fresh produce, flowers and crafts at the Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market. New and veteran vendors make up this year's farmer's market. The market, located in a parking lot on the 1000 block of Vermont, has been in Lawrence since 1979. In addition to the market's growth of products and vendors,the farmers'market is finishing its first year with a vendorelected board of directors. Richard Bean, chairman of the board, said the board was enacted last year after Downtown Lawrence, Inc., decided it didn't have the resources to continue sponsoring the market. Bean said the board worked on overhauling the bylaws and hired a market coordinator, Emily Miller, during the last year. "I think it's the best farmers' market in the United States," he said. Carol Huettner, a longtime market shopper, started selling her herbs and flowers this year at the market. "I finally had enough products to sell," she said. Huettner said most of her customers appreciated the variety of products at all of the booths and that was why people returned to shop at the market. "Over the years, I think the market has expanded," she said. "You'll find things here that aren't at a supermarket."

Bean said he had noticed an increase of younger customers and vendors over the last few years. "It's good to see younger people there selling their products," he said. "They realize what a nice community it is." Amanda Denning, KU graduate, said she supported the farmers' market because the food was locally grown and sometimes cheaper.

SPORTS WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 19 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 MEN'S BASKETBALL Mock draft predictions cite Hinrich By Saju Nu'alla snglaa@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The Internet has hundreds of mock drafts floating around, and a number of major sport magazines have released their own pick predictions. Nearly all predicted that Kirk Hinrich would be a lottery pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. 1975 Hinrich ALEXANDER CAMPBELL Collison However, sport analysts have predicted Nick Collison—arguably the most dominant player on the 2002-03 Kansas Basketball team—to go in the first round, but not as a lottery pick. The lottery includes the 13 worst teams in the NBA. "I know I need to get a little stronger," Collison said in a recent interview with the Chicago Bulls, which is posted on the team's web site. "Scouts do not see Collison as a can't miss prospect because he lacks the athleticism that surefire lottery picks often possess." "And I need to become more consistent from the outside." said a scouting report from ESPN.com. Scouting reports described Collison as an excellent position rebound with a creative touch when scoring from the interior. The reports also added that Collison lacked the strength and the aggressiveness to be an effective power forward in the NBA. AUTHORIZED COPY Kansas coach Bill Self listens as former Jayhawk Nick Collison addresses basketball campers in the Horesji Family Athletics Center. Though Collison played under former Kansas coach Roy Williams, he returned to speak Monday at the renamed Bill Self Basketball Camp. Zach Straus/Kansan MEN'S BASKETBALL Self continues Roy's camp By Saju Ng'alla snglaa@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The new men's basketball staff at the University of Kansas still wants former players, such as Drew Gooden, Nick Collison and other Jayhawk greats from the past, to treat the University as their home. For the last 15 years former players flocked to the Roy Williams Basketball Camp. This year, with the arrival of a new men's basketball coach, the name has changed to the Bill Self Basketball Camp, but everything else remains the same. Children from all over the nation still come to participate and former Kansas players, most of them from the Williams' era, still come to share their knowledge with the young campers. Collison said he returned because of the tradition and the sense of family that surrounded Kansas basketball. “This is important to coach Self," said Ben Miller, Kansas men's basketball assistant coach, "He has a great appreciation for the history of Kansas basketball and the legacy of former players." Miller said Self made special efforts such as writing letters and making phone calls to reach out to former Jayhawks to let them know they would always be welcomed at Kansas. Self said he wanted to keep the legacy of former players alive at the University. "This is important so that the players who do come in see that it is a family atmosphere," said Norm Roberts, Kansas men's basketball assistant coach. "When you come to KU, you don't just play for four years and go — you become a family member for life." Roberts said the traditions of Kansas basketball were alive and those traditions lured former players back to enjoy the campus, current players and the winning legacy of the basketball program. The basketball camp was just one of the means of keeping the legacy and tradition alive, Miller said. That is why when Self took over the basketball program, he wrote personal letters to former players to let them know how excited he was to be a Jayhawk and that Kansas still needed them. "One of the first orders of business is to stay in contact and stay connected to the people that came before me, stay connected with the players that came before these guys and make sure that this is going to be a family," Self said when the University hired him.

J. Ford which makes him a very valuable pick. "He's in a good spot because a lot of teams need point guards so he'll go high and be a good player, too," Collison said in the interview. ESPN.com described Hinrich as a dying breed because he had fundamentally sound skills and played hard every time he stepped on the court. "He figures to be a lottery pick due to his athleticism, shooting touch and court savvy," the report said. NBA analysts said the one weakness Hinrich might have was his ability to play defense in the NBA, especially when guarding explosive point guards like Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd. Scouting reports said Hinrich needed to get stronger to handle chaotic penetrating situations and defensive match-ups According to ESPN.com, the first three picks of the draft are locked. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the number one pick and have said they would pick LeBron James, the high school sensation from Akron. Ohio. The Detroit Pistons said they were interested in Darko Milicid, an 18-yearold forward from Serbia. The Denver Nuggets said they would choose Carmelo Anthony, former Syracuse forward, as the number three pick. ESPN.com predicted the Golden State Warriors would draft Collison as the 11th pick. "Just another in a long line of goofy picks by the Warriors," ESPN.com said. Norm Roberts, associate head basketball coach of the Kansas men's basketball team, said he thought the Seattle SuperSonics might draft Collison as the 12th pick. Roberts said Collison was as good, or even better than, most of the players predicted to go in the lottery and it would not surprise him if he were drafted higher. Miami has the fifth pick in the draft and it may select Kirk Hinrich because it needs a point a guard, Roberts said. He also said that Kirk Hinrich worked out for the Heat Monday. Most mock drafts predicted Miami to pick T.J. Ford. Roberts said he thought Hinrich would be a better pick for the Heat because Hinrich was taller and shot the ball better than Ford.

The Kaw Valley Kickball League began last summer with only eight teams. This summer, the free league grew to 20 teams in four divisions with games every Sunday evening. Zach Straus/Kansan Jon Stong, Lawrence resident, kicks the ball out of the infield and gets a single. Stong went on to score in the game between his team, Great Cheese Wood, and Let it Ride Boardshop in South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets, on Sunday. Natalie Winn, Dallas senior, started the league after she talked to friends and coworkers about starting a recreational softball league. They decided kickball would be more fun. Teams contain members from Lawrence businesses but are not limited to employees working at those businesses. Scott Edwards, Lawrence resident and member of the Rudy's Pizzeria team, said his team was "made up of the Rudy's family and a couple of mercenaries." One such team member, Howie Lynch, Lawrence resident, said he played because it reminded him of being a kid again. "I couldn't tell you the last time I played kickball. It was probably when recess stopped in the sixth grade," Lynch said. "We drink before, during and after the games." said Kenny Kantner, member of Papa Keno's kickball team. "Sometimes it seems we're the only ones bringing out coolers though." Things have changed since grade school. Adults play these games and drinking is not discouraged. Kantner said kickball was what employees talked about all week and what they scheduled shifts around on Sundays. Players attitudes, although mostly playful and competitive, can get heated. "Iref'd a game last week and it was one of the most stressful things," Winn said. "I headed to the Replay after and just started drinking." Referees officiate the games according to the rules Winn and Edwards developed. Winn said the rules were based loosely on the World Adult Kickball Association's rules, though the Kaw Valley league was unaffiliated. Mike Baum, Lawrence resident and KU alumnus, said as long as people were friendly the games remained fun. "Everyone knows each other, it's a small town, so every game could turn into a rivalry," Lynch said. "I like the faces of people driving by when they see a bunch of adults playing kickball." — Edited by Annie Bernethy meadowbrook Leasing Leasing NOW for Fall Close to campus • Studio 1,2,3 bdrm. apts. • 2&3 bdrm. townhomes • Water paid in apts. • Walk to campus • Great 3 bdrm. values Mon-Fri: 9-5:30 Saturday: 10-4 Sunday: 1-4 15th & Crestline Dr. 842-4200 BUBBA'S CAUSE YOU JUST NEVER KNOW 23RD & IOWA 842-8225 - 8 Pool Tables - 10 TVs - 2004 Golden Tee - Foosball - Karoke every Wednesday - Nascar Headquarters m-thurs 2-2am f-sun 10-2am FREE POOL DAILY with ROB BARRAGO, JEFF CHIMENTI, JIMMY HERRING & JOAN OSBORNE BOB WEIR • MICKEY HART • BILL KREUTZMANN • PHIL DESH with SPECIAL Guest WILLIE NELSON & FAMILY ONLY REGIONAL APPEARANCE WWW.PLAD.NET © 2003 TOO TOURING INC.

Reynolds finished third in the event qualifying him for the USA team. Reynolds said he was disappointed in his performance even though it secured him an opportunity to go to the World Championships this August in Paris. Two other members of the KU track and field team made it to the finals. Charlie Gruber, volunteer assistant coach, took fifth in the senior 1500-meter run, while Cameron Schwehr, Colbert, Wash., freshman, finished fourth in the junior 1500. "I'm happy for Cameron," said Stanley Redwine, head coach of the track and field team. "He's worked really hard, and getting fourth is a great accomplishment." Leo Bookman, Dickinson, Texas, junior and the 2003 NCAA 200 -meter indoor and outdoor champion, did not make it to the finals and finished 14th overall. Abby Emsick, Council Bluffs, Iowa freshman threw the discus and placed 16th overall. Jeremy Mills, Iowa City, Iowa, sophomore never made it out of the preliminaries. —Saju Ng'alla Bookman quits football team; will concentrate on running Leo Bookman, the NCAA 200-meter dash national champion, left the University of Kansas football team to focus exclusively on track. The junior from Dickinson, Texas was both a wide receiver and defensive back last year on the football team. Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach said Bookman made the right decision and he had the potential of becoming one of the top sprinters in the country. Mangino said Bookman was not pressured into making the decision. "He is already a world-class track athlete and future Olympian," Mangino said. "I believe that playing football could prevent him from reaching some of his goals on the track." Last year Bookman returned 10 punts for a total of 136 yards on the football team. His longest return last year was 21 yards. Bookman also rushed once during the season for a loss of 15 yards. "We are sorry to lose Leo, but we'll root for him every time he steps on the track." Mangino said. — Saju Ng'alla Devers wins ninth national title Greene withdraws from final STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Gail Devers pulled out a win, Maurice Greene pulled out of a race and Allyson Felix pulled off a remarkable feat for a teenager as the U.S. track and field championships ended Sunday. Devers, leaning at the finish line to edge Miesha McKelvy-Jones by one-hundredth of a second, won her ninth national title in the 100-meter hurdles. She'll seek her fourth world title this August. Greene's hopes for a sprint sweep at the world championships ended when he pulled himself out of the final of the 200 after an unimpressive semifinal race that left him limping. Felix, who graduated from high school Friday, placed third in the women's 200 to make the U.S. team for the world championships. Kelli White won the race, adding to her victory in the 100 on Friday. BOXING Lewis keeps heavyweight title doctor ends fight in sixth round LOS ANGELES (AP) Lennox Lewis retained his heavyweight title after a cut stopped Vitali Klitschko after six brawling rounds. An entertaining fight ended on a sour note when the ring doctor ordered the fight stopped after the sixth round of a fight that Klitschko was winning on all three scorecards. Klitschko, bleeding badly from a cut over his left eye, jumped off his stool in disbelief, yelling "No, no, no" and going across the ring toward Lewis as if he wanted the fight to continue. Klitschko hurt Lewis in the early rounds and was more than holding his own in a fight that magnified both the ring rust Lewis had from not fighting for a year and also being a 37-year-old heavyweight in the ring. All three ringside judges had Klitschko winning 58-56, but ring doctor Paul Wallace looked at the cut and ordered referee Lou Moret to stop the fight.

(AP) — The Chicago Bulls think Jay Williams will miss next season because of injuries from a motorcycle crash last week. Bulls general manager John Paxson also confirmed that Williams has a broken pelvis as well as damaged ligaments in his left knee. He would not give further details on Williams' injury or care, citing federal privacy laws. Hard at work While Paxson wouldn't discuss Williams' playing future beyond next season, a source close to Williams has told The Associated Press his injuries are severe enough to jeopardize his career. The No.2 pick in last year's draft remains in intensive care and is expected to have more surgery. BASEBALL Pitcher halts Indians' streak; Royals eek out win, 3 to 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Only Harry Houdini had more tricks than Chris George, the AL's great escape artist. George pitched out of trouble for most of his 52-3 innings last night and the Kansas City Royals won another game in the AL Central, 3-1 over the Cleveland Indians. George (9-4), who is among the league leaders in wins despite a 6.18 ERA, allowed 1 run and seven hits to win his fourth straight start. The lefthander walked three, struck out three and was on the ropes from his first pitch. However, he was able to get the big out when he needed one and the Indians helped by going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position against George. The loss snapped Cleveland's winning streak in the division at eight.

"This is a special place and for the guys who played here, this place becomes another home for them," Miller said. Former Kansas standout and Orlando Magic forward Drew Gooden told the Lawrence Journal-World that when he first came to the University he thought Lawrence embraced and accepted him right away. Miller is not the only one who feels that Kansas is a special place. "I could see why so many great players chose to come to this school. It's the story of me falling in love with Kansas, too," Gooden told the paper. Whether it is during camp, games or even practices, Self said he wanted former players to come back and visit to be a part of the basketball program. "The fans are amazing," Miller said. "They remember those guys. They appreciate what they did for Kansas basketball. It is only proper we reward them by keeping the legacy alive." "The fans are amazing. They remember those guys.

Edited by Amy Kelly WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 FOOD THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 25 Low-carb dieters devour big-time burgers, steaks For some reason, men are obsessed with huge steaks and big cheeseburgers, and who knows this supersized concept best? The restaurant industry. Take the ever-so-popular Hardee's commercials for example. These commercials highlight that men strictly like huge burgers. Each actor complains about other fast food restaurants serving small-sized burgers with too-skinny patties, when what they really want is a big, juicy half-pound cheeseburger. As the actor finishes complaining about not finding a dripping-with-grease burger, a large Angus beef burger pops up to emphasize that you can find a big burger at Hardee's. Chili's serves up what it calls "Big Mouth" burgers. Not only are these burgers grand, but restaurants like The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, offer a 72-ounce steak competition, where if competitors finish the steak in just one hour, it's free. So why does the restaurant industry thrive on this meat concept? Because advertisers think this is what men want. This idea of eating tons of meat has even sparked a thought in Robert Atkins' mind. Why not eat all the protein possible and lose weight? Jared Todd, Quincy, Ill., senior, has been on the Atkins weight loss program for two and a half months and has already lost more than 20 pounds. He said he loved the notion that he could eat all the beef he wanted and lose weight. "I can end up eating three steaks in one evening, get on the scale the next morning, and, amazingly, I've lost weight," Todd said. Todd said the Atkins diet didn't require any work, because he can eat all the low-carb foods he wants and he's golden. So when advertisers and diet plans, like Atkins, over-emphasize the carnivorous way of life, are they forcing men into a heart-diseased way of life as well? I think so. On that note, don't be influenced by big-time cheeseburgers and 72-ounce steaks. Try this low-protein, flavored burger and it will sustain your beef cravings and keep you satisfied all day.

Jesse Ventura has yet to hit the airwaves on a regular basis. The former pro wrestler and Hollywood action star has denied rumors that his show, announced in February, is in trouble. But MSNBC does not expect it to debut until late summer or early fall, and the lengthy rehearsal time has led to speculation that it might never make it onto the air. Erik Sorenson, president of MSNBC, insisted that the cable channel is committed to Ventura and called the show's development "right on schedule." "We believe the final product, when people see it, not everyone's going to love it, but people are going to say, 'Hey, that is different. That is distinctive.' You know, you don't do that overnight." Sorenson said in an interview last week. Ventura's show is intended as a nightly topical talk show. MSNBC has eased Ventura into its schedule with short "Hero of the Week" segments during the Lester Holt Live show. Elected governor of Minnesota in 1998, Ventura hosted a weekly radio show during his four years in office and was a TV commentator for the short-lived XFL football league. Ventura said in February that the show would air in about a month, and the initial delay was blamed on the war in Iraq. Last month, Ventura said the show probably would be on the air around June 1. The hourlong show will probably air weeknights at 9 p.m. Eastern, Sorenson said, against heavy competition from CNN's Larry King Live and Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes. TELEVISION Rapper brings fresh program to reality-saturated channel The Associated Press NEW YORK — There are plenty of the bleeped words, censored images and blue humor that one has come to expect from Snoop Dogg in his new MTV comedy series, Doggy Fizzle Televizble. Yet the gangsta rapper-turned-media maven doesn't think anyone will get too offended when the half-hour series makes its premiere 9 p.m. Sunday. "It's not distasteful, it's all in good taste," Snoop, who's also been featured in Girls Gone Wild and porn videos, told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "It's not as many bleeps as in The Osbournes." And actor Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd, an edgier version of Candid Camera, has gotten plenty of buzz since it debuted earlier this year. Snoop is just the latest celebrity to have an MTV series. The Osbournes became an instant sensation when it debuted two seasons ago, chronicling the foul-mouthed clan of rocker Ozzy. But Snoop (real name: Calvin Broadus, and formerly Snoop Doggy Dogg) said his show was unique. "I'm changing the face of TV," he said. Actually, with skits best described as In Living Color meets Saturday Night Live, Snoop's show resembles the The Lyricist Lounge Show, which had a few airings on MTV three years ago. Tom Calderone, executive vice president of music and talent at the MTV Networks, wouldn't compare the two shows. "It's certainly one of those shows where you watch it and it definitely breaks the mold," Calderone said. Snoop made his debut more than a decade ago on hits like "Nothin' But a G Thang" with Dr. Dre, and is still a mainstay on the network, with hits like the current "Beautiful." He's also been in several movies, including Training Day, Baby Boy and Bones and Old School. He even helped popularize new words like "F'shizzle," which in rap-Latin means "for sure."

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 2003 HOROSCOPES THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 27 If your birthday is this week... Expect the next three months to bring a steady increase in romantic involvement and family promises. Before October, long-term relationships will demand a renewed commitment to home expansion. This is a strong time to make peace with yesterday's disappointments. After October, a powerful wave of social awareness and business ambition arrives. New job proposals between Nov.18 and Feb.7 will initiate almost eight years of financial increase. Stay focused and expect vital family and career decisions throughout 2004. Aries (March 21-April 20). Late Monday, a particularly annoying co-worker may restate obvious policies or instructions. Although experience and authority are clearly on your side, avoid all public power struggles. For the next eight days, younger colleagues will trigger costly delays. Don't confront. Acknowledge the difficulties of the learning process and move on. Taurus (April 21-May 20). Financial schemes should be carefully studied this week. Over the next few days, colleagues and close relatives will make unusual mistakes. Incomplete information proves bothersome. Thursday through Saturday, a close friend or relative is inspired by powerful dreams. Social insight and romantic fulfillment are accented. Yesterday's relationships may soon be permanently rekindled. Remain optimistic. Gemini (May21-June 21). Work officials may be overly helpful or sociable this week. Review policy mistakes or special circumstances for valuable information. Late Wednesday, workplace silence may be annoying. Expect colleagues or partners to avoid direct questions. Don't push for immediate answers; political agendas are involved. Cancer (June 22-July 22). Romantic gestures are deeply felt over the next four days. Watch for loved ones to offer surprisingly seductive invitations. A long phase of social isolation will be replaced by fast proposals and rekindled passion. Some Cancerians, especially those born prior to 1971, may also discuss new travel or educational plans. Use this time to increase social commitments or worldly awareness. Leo (July 23-Aug.22). Lost time in vital relationships can be reclaimed. Before midweek, reluctant friends or lovers may dramatically change their long-term expectations. Respond quickly to revised proposals, private plans and rekindled trust. After Thursday, valid workplace questions demand clear and timely answers. Watch for fast improvements. Virgo (Aug.23-Sept.22). This week, family pressures are intense but temporary. Late Monday, expect minor home disputes concerning duties to older relatives or ongoing financial responsibilities. By midweek, however, dramatic emotions will fade. Allow loved ones the necessary time to privately examine their priorities and all will be well. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Before midweek, authority figures may shorten deadlines or demand completed tasks. Avoid public discussions, if possible. Business officials will react poorly to group ideas or revised information. Ironically, however, career progress or new financial inroads are positive this week. By late Friday, expect hidden progress and fast announcements. Scorpio (Oct.24-Nov.21) Early this week, a friend or lover may change his or her social outlook. Past disputes concerning the motives or actions of a mutual friend may be a central theme. Expect loved ones to find positive reasons for continuing difficult friendships. After Saturday, established business contracts may require last-minute negotiations. If possible, avoid workplace delays and rare social triangles. Health and vitality are on the rise. After a fairly intense phase of low social interest or minor aches and pains, many Sagittarians will experience a renewal of physical energy. Improved body awareness will also initiate several months of rekindled friendships. Use this time to expand Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). daily exercise routines, rejuvenate relationships or increase outdoor activities. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20). Close relatives or friends may make unusual requests. Over the next four days, expect loved ones to be focused on financial information and published documents. Carefully consider the motives of all concerned before offering your time. Late Thursday, a powerful romantic attraction is due to arrive. Group introductions will bring exciting possibilities. Remain open to sincere invitations. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19). Workplace partnerships and shared agreements may be difficult over the next eight days.Early this week, business officials may provide poor instructions or mistaken facts. For many Aquarians, wrongful information will create temporary group tension. Play the diplomat. Colleagues will expect your continued trust. Friday afternoon unique social messages inspire renewed faith between friends. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20). Business obligations increase. Late Tuesday, past mistakes or incomplete assignments may cause serious conflict between colleagues. Before Friday, however, work officials will expect doubled efforts and finalized projects. Don't disappoint. A quick reaction to revised deadlines will ensure rewarding career options.
