Revamped Ellsworth Hall gets its first occupants
By Brandon Baker bbaker@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students moved their furniture and belongings back into Ellsworth Hall yesterday after the building was vacant since May 2002.
At 9:30 a.m. the front doors of Ellsworth were packed with students and parents moving in. Mark Brehm, Overland Park freshman, said his new room was smaller than his former room at his parents' house but that didn't keep him from bringing his favorite love seat — black leather with the back legs removed — his black light and posters. Nate Stafford, Overland Park freshman, is Brehm's roommate and friend from Shawnee Mission South High School. He said they planned to decorate their room in a more artistic way than most students, with a wooden head from Jamaica and their black-light posters.
"Communal bathrooms kind of sucked. If you had to pee,you had to put shoes on and walk all the way down the hall."

"The room is small but quaint," Stafford said. "It's home."
The interior design of Ellsworth Hall no longer looks like it did when Jimmy ingraham, Lenexa senior, lived there in 1999 and 2000.
"It was pretty filthy in there," Ingraham said. "It needed to be remodeled before I got there."
The new design departs from the original design in mostly aesthetic

Center offers options
New facility to provide brand-new equipment,

K kansan staff writer
Instead of using Robinson Center to work out, some students have used it as an excuse not to. The new Student Fitness Recreation Center opening in September may force them to think of another reason.
Becca Evanhoe, Derby junior, knows that working out is important for her health. She just doesn't like doing it, especially at Robinson.
"It smelled bad and seemed kind of dark and crowded all the time." Evanhoe said. "It wasn't fun, so I didn't workout much."
work out much. The new recreation center will open on Sept. 15, providing students with
nearly 100,000 square feet of workout and meeting space, filled with state-of-the-art equipment and amenities.
A 42-foot-high rock climbing wall, a suspended running track and a martial arts room in the recreation center offers a wide variety of workout options.
Students can work up a sweat on two racquetball and squash courts, four full-sized basketball courts or in the aerobics studio.
A 10,000 square-foot cardiovascular area housing more than 100 machines will be available for students looking to raise their heart rates.
And for those interested in pumping iron, a large selection of free weights and weight machines will be on hand.
But the recreation center is not just for the rock-hard bodies of seasoned gum rats, said Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services.
"We want this to be a place where everyone can rest, relax and even
study," Chappell said. "There are lots of little spaces here for everyone."
Those spaces include a juice bar and lounge, complete with a flat-screen television; two meeting rooms; and more than 24 Internet-capable computers scattered throughout the building for student use.

pell said.
"When we started the bidding process, the economy was so bad everybody underbid just to get work," Chappell said. "We were able to add some amenities with the money we saved."

Student Employment Center plans job fair at Kansas Union
The Student Employment Center at the University of Kansas is sponsoring a Student Employment Job Fair from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, at the fourth floor lobby in the Kansas Union.
Sixteen employers from different University departments will be on hand for students looking for part-time work on campus this fall. Ten off-campus employers from Lawrence will also take part in the fair.
"I guess I'm excited that there are 16 campus groups, but there's going to be more competition because there are less jobs than in past years," Hartley said.
Ann Hartley, associate director of University Career and Employment Services, said that the fair would be down 10 employers from past years because of budget cuts.
Information on on-and off-campus jobs can also be found on the University Career and Employment Services Web site, www.ku.edu/~uces.

The Kansas Humanities Council gave a $10,000 grant to the Hall Center for the Humanities at the University of Kansas to develop "This Day in Kansas History: An Online History of the State of Kansas."
History Web site outlines important Kansas events
Victor Bailey, Hall Center director and professor of history at KU, said the Web site would contain 50 main articles which will be featured every week. It will also include an estimated 300 smaller events compiled by Henry Fortunato, the project's editor-in-chief.
A KU history Web site put the Kansas project on hold, but it is now ready to launch.
Bailey said the Hall Center developed a relationship with the Kansas State Historical Society from the start.
"We don't see this as a KU project," he said. "We've always seen this as a state project."
Alex Hoffman
"This Day in Kansas History" will begin in mid-2004, the 150th anniversary of the Kansas territory.
A new Web site will highlight important events in Kansas' history.
University offers protection from computer virus attacks
Starting this semester, new virus protection software will be available free to the KU community from KU Information Services.
However, the new software is not a response to viruses that have attacked computers worldwide recently.
Allison Lopez, external relations coordinator for KU Information Services, said the change was part of the University's ongoing security updates.
"When you have a network as rich in resources as KU, security is necessary," Lonez said.
Lopez said viruses such as Lovsan would make the security upgrade even more important.
Faculty, staff and students can use the new software, Sophos Anti-Virus, on private computers as well as computers owned by the University.
To download the new software, students can visit www.ku.edu/acs/ virus or contact Information Services. Users can switch to Sophos from the University's current virus protection software, Command Antivirus, anytime before 2004.

Graffiti and holes cover the walls of Lindley Hall Annex. The summer vandalism was reported to police who took no action because the building is slated for demolition.
Annex to be demolished
By Zack Hemenway
zhemenway@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In 1947, familiar historical buildings didn't dominate the University of Kansas campus as they do today. Instead, many classes were held in rectangular, wooden one-story structures donated by the military after World War II.
Almost fifty years later, the Lindley Hall Annex, used exclusively for introductory architecture classes, is the last of these structures still standing.
"They called them 'temporary,' Warren Corman, university architect, said. "But 'temporary' meant 'permanent until we tear it down.'"
A decision made last Thursday by the Kansas Legislature's Joint Committee for Building Construction will make this school year the last one for the decrepit building.
The 10,000-square-foot annex has rotting windows, astestos-rediding siding and a
crumbling concrete foundation. The roof requires patching often and still leaks regularly.
The inside of the building has its problems as well, according to Matt Pauly, Denton sophomore, who took classes in the annex last year.
"The lighting isn't very good, and everything's old and falling apart," Pauly said. "I have some good memories there, but I'm not too sad to see it go."
Corman said the plan, which was approved by the Lawrence Historical Society, would cost approximately $100,000. Asbestos removal accounts for almost one-third of the cost.
The University's Environment, Health and Safety Department will supervise the asbestos removal. Corman said the Chancellor's Office has already begun to locate funds for the project.

Legislative red tape and regulations make tearing down the annex a lengthy process. The Joint Committee will make its
Corman doesn't expect any delays, describing the entire process as a "formality." He expects the last "temporary" building on campus to be destroyed sometime next summer.

Campus burglaries decrease
By Joe Hartigan jhartigan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Report shows increase in forcible sex offenses last year
Kerri Davis didn't worry about having things stolen from her dorm room on the seventh floor of McCollum last year.
She felt safe enough to keep her door unlocked most of the time.
time.
"We didn't lock our door, but we never had any problems," Davis said.
Davis and her roommate wouldn't even lock the door when they slept most of the time.
"We would climb up on our loft and forget," Davis said. "When we'd remember,we'd be too lazy to get down and lock it."
While this kind of activity put Davis at risk, she never had any problems. The good news for students like Davis is that burglaries in University of Kansas residence halls were down from last year. However, the same report said forcible sex offenses were up.
The Clery Report — an annual
report detailing statistics about campus crime - indicates that 36 burglaries were committed in KU residence halls in 2002, down from 43 the previous year — a 16 percent drop.

"They have to realize that crime does happen," Bailey said. "The University is not an island. They have a responsibility along with us to protect themselves."
Bailey urged students to protect themselves by locking doors at all times including while they sleep or study, to not leave property unattended, to not leave valuables in plain sight inside vehicles, and to remove stereo face plates from vehicles when not in use.
Bailey also recommended that

"Don't forget that you are in a new place — a strange place." Bailey said. "While we want you to have a great college experience, we want you to be safe."
The Clery Report is filed annually and details campus crime over the previous three years as part of the Clery Act of 1998. The act requires colleges and universities receiving federal financial aid to report crime statistics on college campuses to members of the campus community and to provide safety information.
Haworth Hall left in the dark
Edited by Erin Riffey
Generators used to restore power after three-hour outage
By Amber Byarlay
abyarlay@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Thirty years worth of research can easily be lost in six hours. Just ask the researchers of Haworth Hall.
On July 17 Haworth Hall lost power for three hours, leaving nearly all of its laboratories without power. Only four of the 40 labs in Haworth have access to backup power.
The outage sent researchers scurrying to locate enough generators to provide the necessary power for 20 freezers that need to maintain a temperature of negative 80 degrees Celsius The freezers contain temperature-sensitive research specimens that, in some cases, took as long as 50 years to collect. Kandi White, business manager for biological sciences, said the July outage was the longest the building had experienced.
The biological sciences division rented gas generators to provide power to the freezers. The generators created new problems because the freezers were incompatible with the generators. Researchers had to jury-rig the generators to plug freezers into them.
Gasoline fumes from the generators created a health hazard. The heat from the generators caused problems for experiments being done at room temperature.
Erik Lindquist, assistant professor, may have lost work because of the power outage, but he couldn't be sure.
"If we did lose things it would have been disastrous," he said. The damage would be worse if the outage occurred on a weekend or at night when no one could take action,he said.
Facilities Operations Director Doug Riat said the outage occurred when the breaker on the electrical circuit to Haworth tripped because it received an incorrect code from the electric system. The biological science department is working with construction management to get back-up power supplies to all of Haworth.

New wage ordinance necessary for growth
For three years, Lawrence citizens have been preparing for tomorrow, when the city council will have a hearing to discuss the living wage
This is the opportunity to pass an ordinance which would dramatically improve the low wage earners' pay and benefits.
Included in the low wage earners' category are the increasing number of students paid minimum wage at their hourly jobs around town. This ordinance would boost employee confidence and recognize Lawrence as one of many cities across the country that enforces economic justice.
Some argue that the existing "fair wage" policy, otherwise known as the 2001 tax abatement, is substantial enough for Lawrence residents.
Unfortunately, this policy merely asks companies that receive city tax exemptions to pay their employees average wages, such as $5.25 an hour.
This may often keep wage earners at poverty level, but Lawrence deserves a policy where all workers are above the poverty level. No one should be left behind.
The only other negative argument concerning a living wage ordinance is that it would hurt the Lawrence business climate. This is not the case. The increasing support across the United States for such ordinances proves business expansion is gained through them
This is exactly what the Lawrence community needs, and now is the golden opportunity to obtain it. Lawrence recently ranked seventh in Forbes Magazine's "Best Places for Business and Career." Clearly, there is potential.
The current draft ordinance asks only two things of the city
First, it requires the businesses that receive tax breaks to pay their workers a wage high enough to keep a family of three at least 30 percent above the federal poverty line. Second, it asks the city to strictly enforce its wage policies.
A similar request has been made in more than 100 communities, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The popularity of these ordinances was high overall. In fact, in Lawrence, 35 different student and community organizations have supported this ordinance, including the University of Kansas Student Senate.
Lawrence should adopt a policy that decreases poverty levels, ensures job growth for the city and provides better wages for hard-working students. It's about time our supposedly progressive city started living up to its reputation.
Lawrence's "fair wage" policy is not good enough. Of all the counties in Kansas, Douglas County ranks 62nd in income growth rate, below the state average.

'Kansan' report card:
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics dedication: The University certainly received publicity, and maybe the Dole Institute will attract tourists, but the best part is the dream that now Kansas will be known for something other than The Wizard of Oz. Bye Toto!
Mountain Lion denial: Despite reports of mountain lion sightings from concerned citizens, including KU employees, the state says there is no evidence of wild mountain lions in Kansas. They tell us they're probably escaped or released animals. Anyone missing a huge cat with talons?

Sure, it's the same ol' University Daily Kansan—the same paper that fits snugly into your textbook during your economics lectures.
It's still the same publication that humors you with the Free for All.
And you can still find out the latest on your beloved Kansas Jayhawks.
But we have made some changes. Some big ones — but not the kind you'll notice by glancing at the photographs.
Every semester, year after year, The University Daily Kansan editor and staff make changes. This semester is no different. But this time around, most of our best changes have been made off the pages of newsprint.

Come Thursday, be prepared for a revolutionary Jayplay, our weekly entertainment section. The publication has been updated and given a new life.
Before, freelancers produced content for Jayplay. Now Jayplay has its own full-time staff. The design and presentation has been revamped. Also, you'll find weekly departments that we've chosen to cater to what students care about. The Jayplay editor, Andrew Vaupel, and his staff of about 20 have stories planned that will range from
to have a great night out in Lawrence to how to make a masterpiece decoration out of junkyard scraps for your humble abode. Also, look for Jayplay to be a sponsor of an upcoming concert.

GUEST COMMENTARY
In a buffet, there may be all kinds of different foods. From the pudding to the Lo Mein, it's all there to make sure you keep going.
Material on this page is food for the brain, meant to strengthen your mind and expand your thoughts.
OK, so the Opinion page and a Vegas buffet are not entirely the same.
A friend of mine expressed his main fear of buffets by saying "You just don't know how long the food has been sitting out. Hours, days- who knows?"
Don't worry; the opinion page's material is fresh every day. There will never be a "repeat" day or a Tuesday special.
Our editorial board meets twice a week to discuss issues which affect the student body. The board will discuss all aspects of everything from protests to parking, whatever is on students' minds.
The opinion page is also fresh because of you, the reader. The readers' responsibility is to let the Kansan know how they feel. The opinion page is the only page where anyone can say what they want. Anyone may submit a guest column or letter to the editor by e-mail to opinion@kansan.com or deliver a hard copy to the newsroom at room 100 Stauffer Flint Hall.
board is composed of members of the staff. In The University Daily Kansan, the board is picked from the general population of students, so it can directly reflect your concerns.

Studio 804 students help one needy family get a much-needed house
By Zack Hemenway

Tears start to well in Connie Frazier's eyes at the memory. She knew her husband meant well, but she just didn't see it happening.
ing. "We can't do it," she said when Roy Frazier told her he was trying to find their family a house on his school bus driver salary.
"I promised you when we got married that I was going to buy you a home," he told her that fall, their 21st year together. "And I am going to find a way."
going a day a year later, the Fraziers' school-new home helped the School of Architecture's Studio
804 win a $25,000 grand prize from the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. Studio 804 is a nonprofit organization that was formed by architecture professors to help students to get building experience and provide affordable housing.
During the last five years, students in Dan Rockhill and Kent Spreckelmeyer's architecture and urban design classes have designed and built homes in the Lawrence area. The students spend the fall finding a site and financing, then design and build during the spring semester. Tenants for Homeowners, another nonprofit group, reviews applicants and procures low-interest loans to help their chosen residents. Roy Frazier went through this application process and was chosen to live in the house before construction had even started.

BELOW: Roy and Connie Frazier stand next to their Studio 804 house on 1718 Atherton Court. Many of the materials used to build the house were salvaged from demolished buildings.
AUGUST 1982
The Fraziers visited the construction site almost every day, befriending the students and professors who worked on the project. The house they saw rise up from the dirt on 1718 Atherton Court was unlike any they'd ever seen. Well, almost any.

people. Corrugated steel siding makes up the outside panels, and windows take up nearly every other visible area. The roof slopes in from both sides to lead to an open patio in the center of the house. Inside, the house is no less unique. The sun seems to penetrate every square inch during the daytime, as only two rooms have conventional ceilings, and the hardwood floor comes from a gymnasium. Stainless steel industrial fans hang from 20-foot ceilings, purring softly to fight the sun's heat.
More than 1,500 people attended the opening, and since their July move-in, the Fraziers said they have had visits from numerous architecture students and journalists. Connie Frazier has become a practiced tour guide, opening her door to curious onlookers almost daily.
"Everybody's welcome in our house," she said.
The house is especially good for their large family. The Fraziers, both in their 50s, have five grown children and 24 grandchildren. But the Beauty and the Beast bedspreads next to the "cellular insulated window shades" aren't for occasional visits to grandma's house. The Fraziers have three adopted children, a boy and two
girls, ages 8, 9 and 10, all of whom have some form of mental illness. Connie Frazier said the openness of the house was good for the children.

"There's just so much light," she said. "You don't have a chance to get depressed."
chance to get up and go. Frazier said her children love the house too, but for entirely different reasons. She estimates there are 30 children in a two-block radius of her house, and it seems as if all 30 have spent some time at 1718 Atherton. Some of the students who worked on the house also check in with the family periodically, and the Fraziers meet with Rockhill and Spreckelmeyer regularly. The professors said the project is unique to the University.
University. "We're the only program to basically build an entire house in one semester," Rockhill said.
one semester, Rockwell Institute Studio 804 submitted this house as their example project in the contest, and provided snapshots of previous projects. They received the grand prize award for Creative Integration of Practice and Education. Spreckelmeyer said integration was important to preparing architecture students for their careers.
"The project connects them with the realities of construction and design," he said. "That's something that rarely happens in architecture schools."
For Connie Frazier, the reality of construction and design was too much to take. The first time she saw the completed house, Frazier broke into tears.
"She was crying, and then the students started crying." Frazier said. "They had a little boo-hoo session."
Roy Frazier swells with pride at the fulfillment of his twenty-year-old promise.
"It was a dream we never thought would happen," he said. "And now it's a dream come true."

New bookstore offers used goods
VOLUME I
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Megan True/Kansan
The Lawrence literary community turned a new page earlier this month with the arrival of Half Price Books.
Since opening its doors on Aug. 7, the store, at 1519 W.23rd St., has been bustled with activity as patrons buy and sell used books. As of last Tuesday, the store bought nearly 11,000 items and sold more than 10,500.
The Lawrence location is the 78th store of Half Price Books, the largest family-owned used bookstore chain in the nation, spanning 11 states in the Midwest and on the West Coast.
nats quite a contrast to the company's beginnings when co-founders Ken Gjemre and Pat Anderson stocked a Dallas laundromat with 2.000 of their books for resale 31 years ago.
Frances Zopp, Lawrence's Half Price store manager, said the response she got from the community was that there weren't enough used bookstores in town.
"My understanding is that other places are a little picky.We buy anything printed and recorded except for yesterday's newspaper," she said.
Store managers Frances Zopp and Jef Leisgang run Half Price Books, 1519 W.23rd St. The store opened up last month and provides competition for local bookstores, such as Borders Books, Music & Cafe and The Dusty Bookshelf.
The store also buys and sells CDs, magazines, computer programs, VHS movies, DVDs, records and books on audiotape. True to the store name, all paperbacks are sold at half of the cover price. Hardcovers and entertainment items are marked down as well. For example, a majority of CDs go for $7.98.
The store also has a large assortment of new books as a result from overstock from publishers, distributors and other stores. Although the store does not sell textbooks, it may have classic novels and other needed literary works.
Scott Robson, Little Rock, Ark., graduate teaching assistant, said he found a book to use in teaching his class for $5, and it still had the KU Bookstore tag of $15 on it.
"You can never have enough books for research, dissertations and articles," he said. "Plus you can come in and get the same stuff you need for school."
Other area bookstores said they hadn't experienced any decline in business.
"I think Lawrence is big enough for more than one used bookstore," said Tanessa Strotkamp, store manager of the Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Massachusetts St.
Doug Weaver, store manager of Borders, 700 New Hampshire St., said his store was unharmed by Half Price's opening. He said he
thought the new store could be positive for local literary enthusiasts—including himself.
"Everybody that works in the business are first and foremost book readers." Weaver said. "I
think all it can do is bring out more book buyers in the city, which is good for everybody."

Governor picks two new regents
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius appointed two new members to the Board of Regents two weeks ago.
Nelson Galle, Manhattan and Frank Gaines, Hamilton, joined the group, which has overseen higher education in Kansas since its creation as the three-person Board of Administration in 1913. Now the Board of Regents is comprised of nine people, whose decisions in matters, such as funding, affect all of Kansas' institutions of higher learning.
Megan Ingmire, the governor's spokeswoman, said Galle and Gaines were chosen in part because of their backgrounds.
Three of the nine regents ended their terms this year. Sebelius reappointed one, Janice DeBauge, Emporia, to take over the position of chairperson from Jack Wempe, Lyons.
"Education is the key to economic development," Ingmire said. "We think their diverse experiences will serve the people of Kansas well."
"The governor thought that she had a perspective that was needed for the board right now," Ingmire said.
Galle, a Kansas State University graduate, said his diverse background in business and education would help him during his term as a regent.
The governor thought Gaines and Galle had a lot to offer the board, Ingmire said.
"I taught high school for six years out of college, so I understand things from a teacher's point of view," he said.
After that, he worked at various levels of administration at Hesston Farm Equipment before owning and operating a turkey hatchery. He managed human resources at Hesston, although it wasn't called that at the time.
"Education is the key to economic development. We think their diverse experiences will serve the people of Kansas well."
Megan Ingmire governor's spokeswoman
Galle said he had much to learn about being a regent, despite working a variety of jobs. He said that he looked forward to meeting his fellow regents and serving the people of Kansas.
Gaines, the CEO and chairman of First National Bank, served in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1969 to 1972, and then in the Senate from 1973 to 1992. He also served on the Kansas Civil Service Board and as a trustee of the state pension fund for four years.
Although he could not be reached for comment, Galle said his new colleague would represent the interests of Kansans well. DeBauge agreed.
"We're just delighted to work with Mr. Gaines, with all of his experience," she said.
Gaines and Galle will serve four-year terms, pending a confirmation vote in the Kansas Senate.

New parking garage pleases neighbors
By Meghan Brune
mbrune@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Gleaming white concrete welcomes Sunday visitors and leads the Masses up the stone steps to the St. Lawrence Catholic Center.
The center, 1631 Crescent Road, has a new two-level parking facility. It was completed in June after three years of fundraising and construction.
The church now can provide enough parking for its churchgoers during the busy school year, the real test of the parking lot's success with the return of KU students.
During the church's heaviest rush, Ash Wednesday, the number of cars in the lot peaked at 169. Father Vince Krische said.
The two lots, one at street level and one below ground, contain 174 parking spots. The old lot only had room for 95 spots.
The lower level offered shade
and relief from the heat during summer services, and Krische said he has heard only good reviews from church-goers.
reviews for our book.
Linda Elwell, 1648 Crescent Road, neighbors St. Lawrence.
When the lot was under construction, she said a lot of people were walking in front of her house.
But Elwell said she had no problem with the church's new addition.
"We don't even know when church is anymore." Elwell said.
The parking garage is on the south side of the center, the opposite from the neighborhood.
"I can't see it, can't hear it and it keeps people from parking on our streets." Ewell said.
Elwell's home is one of the only houses surrounding the center that is not owned by St. Lawrence.
She said the construction was needed and had helped with the congestion.
Construction began June
2002 and ended this June. The process started much earlier, though, with a joint fundraiser in 2000 for endowment, an education center, a professorship and the parking garage.
The garage cost about $3 million to build, paid for with oledges from the community.
The last step of the project is to clear the temporary lot across the street at 1435 Engel Road. With permission from the city, the center created the lot for 55 cars with asphalt, orange fences and student traffic directors.
Amanda Williams, Dallas senior, said the new parking garage made a difference.
"It doesn't take as long to get in and out of Mass," she said.
Parking passes for about 100 spots in the lot during school hours are available to students registered at St. Lawrence.
The lot will be restricted from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Engineering classes to continue despite construction delay
By Maggie Newcomer

Kansan Staff writer
When construction crews broke ground on the new engineering building in February 2002, the completion date was June 2003. June 2003 is over, but the building is unfinished, leaving staff and students to make do.
Originally the building was to be finished before fall classes started. Jill Hummels, public relations director for the School of Engineering, said a lack of available drywall crews to finish Sheetrock inside the building caused the delay.
cause us to cry.
"We'll just deal with it, get it right and move on from there," Hummels said.
Although unfinished, the building is functional, Stuart Bell, dean of engineering, said. Engineering faculty members moved into their offices last Monday and classes will begin in the building's 15 labs on schedule. The 230-seat Spahr multimedia classroom, the only classroom in the building, will be finished mid-fall.

Classes will be held in the
Bell said in case of delays, no classes were assigned to the classroom and no one's schedule would be affected this fall. Several details remain unfinished as well.
Landscaping and indoor displays need to be installed and some last-minute repairs, such as paint touchups and window repairs, are needed.
A Jayhawk will grace the floor
concrete will be poured at the front entrance. The building, with construction equipment littering the ground, will be cleaned up by the first day of classes.
The building, dubbed Eaton Hall in June, was named after Robert Eaton, a 1963 KU graduate in mechanical engineering who donated $5 million to the $15 million building.

KU Info moves to Anschutz Library, launches new Web site
By Amanda Kim Stairrett
astairrett@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students looking for answers can still call KU Info — they just better be on topic.
After fears of closing, KU Info officially re-opened on the third floor of Anschutz Library yesterday. They will still offer its phone service, but with some changes. Questions unrelated to the University of Kansas and the Lawrence area, such as "Why do guys shiver after they pee?" will no longer be answered by KU Info's operators. Instead callers will be referred to Internet search engines and other resources.
In addition, the 33-year-old program is updating its services, offering a walk-in desk and online reference page.
"I think people will appreciate the new service," Chris Martin, Prairie Village graduate assistant, said.
Martin said people would be disappointed that KU Info's legendary status as a go-to source for trivial information will diminish.
About 10 percent of KU Info's callers rely on the service for trivia-type questions, according to Martin's estimates.
J-Talk services have changed, too. The automated answering service serves KU Info after-hours. Previously, the line's message was too long, giving callers too much information. Now the line provides students with a touch-tone system offering information like campus building hours and academic information.
Reduced funding and resources are to blame for the information service's cut back in hours. KU Info's hours may change based on student reaction.
The schedule is based on call volume and Hawk Week activities. KU Info's hours are 10 a.m.to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
Students spent 2002 wondering about the fate of KU Info.
Budget cuts meant the service would no longer be part of the Office of Student Success and University officials considered turning it exclusively into an online service.
But students rallied behind KU Info after University administration deemed it unnecessary. Anschutz Library jumped at the opportunity to house the service and the library now directly funds KU Info.
Because the library contained a reference desk, Martin said KU Info fit in well. Anschutz saw taking in KU info as an opportunity to bring in additional information sources, Martin said.
Martin said the new location would allow students to interact more openly with the information service.
Martin credits student response for saving KU Info. The service was created by students in 1970 to serve as a rumor control line.
Susan Elkins, program director, said KU Info served an important function on campus and it was proven by the numbers. When its budget was cut by 30 percent, calls reduced by 31 percent.
The line receives a flood of calls on snow days by students seeking a day off. On Jan. 19, a snow storm hit Lawrence and the line received 1,642 calls. Employees answered the phone all night.
In 2000, KU Info received a
total of 156,858 calls. Numbers dropped in 2001, with 147,408 calls. The drop continued in 2002 to 101,700 calls. Elkins said the decrease in call volume was because of KU Info's decreasing hours.
Elkins promised KU Info would remain a valuable resource, even if it may lose some of its status among students with odd questions.
"We will be just as fun as we always have." Elkins said.
KU Info can be reached at 864-3506 or www.kuinfo.lib.ku.edu.
Officials are planning an open house soon after school starts.

Knopp has tall order to fill as new president
SAN FRANCISCO
Kansan File Photo
Andy Knopp, Manhattan senior, is preparing for his job as student body president. He said he would have programs such as the Jayhawk Express bus route and the JayWalk program available by the beginning of the semester.

Standing 6 feet 7 inches, Andy Knopp naturally stands out on campus.
Still, Knopp, student body president and Manhattan senior, likes to think of himself as a typical student who plays basketball at Robinson Center, hangs out on Wesco Beach and likes to go the Pizza Wheel Co. and The Crossing. But his student position and the accompanying responsibilities make for a different reality.
Knopp will speak at both Opening Convocation and spirit night during Hawk Week and will attend Board of Regents meetings as the University representative.
However, Knopp knows his most important role as president is to represent the students who elected him and the new students who will be affected by his decisions and actions.
That's not to say Knopp is highstrung. Diana Rhodes, Student Senate's administrative assistant, said Knopp brought a laid-back style to leading the student body.
Knopp and Vice Presidem Catherine Bell, Coffeye senior, lead the KUnited-dominated Student Senate, which hopes to get a lot accomplished this year.
"He has great sense of humor, and he knows what's going on," she said.
The KUNited platform focuses on student-friendly programs and trying to improve overall student life at the University.
Knopp said he knew students responded to tangible results from programs and Senate bills.
Two programs that will be available for students at the beginning of the year are the Jayhawk Express free bus route and the JayWalk program — designed to ensure safety for those walking on campus late at night.
Along with adding to services for students, Knopp said he wanted to address issues such as
"Different things make different people happy there are lots of ways
to get involved."

students' financial burdens and saving University money.
One program that deals with both goals is the student textbook exchange program. In cooperation with the Kansas Union Bookstore, students can order their books online and be notified on the Union's site if their book can be purchased cheaper from the student exchange.
Knopp sees programs like this as an indirect way to deal with tuition increases.
Knopp encourages all students to come up with ideas to save money. He welcomes e-mails, notes left at the Student Senate office or participation in committee meetings as ways to make a difference.
attends a meeting, he can vote on bills that will then have a opportunity to be sent to full Senate for a vote.
All students can attend biweekly committee meetings to voice their concerns, opinions or suggestions. Once a student
Knopp became involved in KU politics as a freshman at a committee meeting, and was soon named an engineering senate replacement, and his career was off and running.
Knopp served as the engineering senator his sophomore year and business senator last year before deciding to try to follow KUnited president Jonathan Ng into office.
"I looked around and saw a lot of people doing things for the school, community service, being RA's, playing basketball. Everyone wanted to make KU better," Knopp said.
He encourages students to find their niche and make an impact.
"Different things make different people happy — there are lots of ways to get involved," Knopp said.
After a rigorous spring filled with election anxiety and endless campaigning, Knopp said he took it pretty easy this summer and was looking forward to getting back into the swing of things this fall.

Angelae Busy, Lenexa senior, won the title of Miss Kansas in June. Busy, shown wearing her Miss Cheney Lake crown, will compete in the Miss America pageant Sept. 20 when she will display her baton-twirling talents.
Busby, Lenexa senior, will compete as Miss Kansas in this year's Miss America pageant. Sept. 20 in Atlantic City, N.J.
Angelaea Busby's baton twirling and public speaking practice will culminate in one night of competition.
On June 7, Busby was crowned Miss Kansas after defeating 20 other contestants. This was her first try at Miss Kansas after qualifying as Miss Cheney Lake.
Since then, she has spent her summer in Pratt training for the competition and maintaining a tight schedule.
"It's basically a 24-7 job." Busy said. "I've been doing a daily workout routine, practicing public speaking and broadening my platform."
Despite the hectic schedule, Marie Hanson. Busby's business manager, said she handled her duties well.
"She's a very focused girl," Hanson said. "It's part of her nature."
Busby's platform of depression awareness holds personal significance to her because a close member of her family suffered from the affliction. Busby said she hoped to educate people more about depression and dispel its myths.
"Currently there are a lot of people who don't understand what it is," Busby said. "It is a disease and there is that stigma attached to it."
Busby said she had modest expectations going into the Miss Kansas competition.
Busby won the Finalist Interview Award for accumulating the most points in the interview portion at Miss
"My goal was just to take the top 10," she said. "At no point did I think I was going to be the favorite. I mean, there had been no first-time winner in the last 23 years."

Kansas. She sharpened her interview skills Saturday in a mock interview session with seven judges. She said she had one important characteristic that made an impression on the Miss Kansas judges.
"I was just myself during the entire process," she said.
For now, Busby will have to
leave the fall semester behind because of her busy schedule. Her stint as recruitment chair for Kappa Alpha Theta will have to wait. She also will not be able to perform her duties as feature baton twirler for the Marching Jayhawks. Rather, she will take her twirling talents to the stage at the Miss America pageant.
"I will miss halftime though," she said.
On Sept. 3, Busby will travel to Washington, D.C., to meet the other Miss America contestants.

FEES: Business owners criticize parking fee changes
mended raising the violation fine from $2 to $5.
City officials want to deter downtown business employees from parking in the short-term parking areas usually reserved for shoppers.
After criticism from business owners, the Lawrence City Commission last week referred the matter to the Downtown Parking Advisory Board. The board is expected to meet in the next four weeks to examine meter fees and fine increases.
Board member and president of Weaver's, 901 Massachusetts, Joe Flannery said downtown employees should use long-term lots, but the increases are a double-edged sword.
"You never like to see your cus
tomers charged more for the option to shop." Flannery said. He said he wanted the increases to leave more parking available for his customers.
Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts, and Wheatfields Bakery, 904 Vermont, said it was not right to compare Lawrence's parking costs to those of Topea and Wichita. He said emulating those cities' parking programs would be like backpedalling.
would be like being Magerl criticized the financial policy of the city commission but said the parking situation had room for improvement.
"A 100% increase in fees and a 150% increase in tickets is not well thought out," he said.
The increase in meter fees and fines is projected to increase revenue by $100,000. For the first
seven months of 2003, parking meter revenue totaled over $190,000 and the city collected over $180,000 in parking tickets from metered spots.
Tickets for violations are issued between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Sunday parking is free in all lots.
Currently, parking violation fines are $2 if paid within 10 days. After 10 days, fines increase to $10 plus court costs. A individual with five or more overtime tickets within 30 days is subject to a separate citation with a $15 fine.
Those habitual violators paid the City $35,500 in the first seven months of 2003, a total of 1,791 tickets.
If approved, the increase will go into effect Jan.1, 2004.

Student Housing plans for Hashinger Hall renovations
By Abby Mills amills@kansan.com kansan staff writer
On the heels of completing Ellsworth Hall, the Department of Student Housing is gearing up to tackle its next big project.
"Now that we're wrapping up Ellsworth, we're looking to Hashinger," said Ken Stoner, director of the Department Student Housing.
Hashinger Hall, on Daisy Hill. will close for renovations in Spring 2005 and reopen in Fall 2006.
The first step in the process,
Stoner said, was hiring an architect. Stoner and other representatives from the University of Kansas and the state of Kansas will meet in Topeka Aug. 25 to interview potential firms and develop a list of possible candidates.
Once the firm is selected, Stoner said, the architect will work with the University to develop a plan for the building. Stoner said the firm would conduct focus groups to gauge what students would like to see in the final product.
"We need to get an idea of what we want to do, and students are welcome to help with that," Stoner said.
lived in Hashinger her freshman year and said she hoped renovations would not ruin the individuality of the hall. She said the other residence halls had seemed identical to her, but Hashinger was different.
Amy Curtis, Lenexa senior.
Elizabeth Marvel, Shawne senior, lived with Curtis in Hashinger and said not all Hashinger's differences were positive.
"That dorm had history, it was unique," she said. "I liked that about it."
Marvel said she was glad the building was being updated, but wanted it to keep its art focus. Hashinger has art resources such as rehearsal rooms, a theater and an Art Design Resource Center with drawing tables, sewing machines and computers with photography design programs.
"It was sort of trashy looking, she said." Though it had the most personality, it wasn't in the best shape. There was definitely a difference in cleanliness
Stoner said that because the building was being completely redone, it may not necessarily keep that art focus. He said student input would be important in making such decisions.
and general maintenance between it and the other residence hallss."
Marvel said she wanted Hash
inger to stay an art-centered hall because it brought like-minded people together in a creative environment. She said she thought the renovations could help the art resources be more useful to students.
"The Resource Center could use some updates," she said. "It needs newer computers and more technology."
E's Express, the grab-and-go dining facility in the Hashinger basement, could also see changes, Stoner said. He said one of the options being considered was to change the set-up to more of a fast food concept. He said if that happened, students would be able to grab quick meals from franchise
stores such as Domino's Pizza.
"Customers are interested in that, so that's what we're trying to do," he said.
Stoner said the project would be funded like home renovation projects — the University will borrow money and pay it back through increased residence hall fees. He said rates for housing in Hashinger would rise similarly to how rates changed in Templin, Lewis and Ellsworth Halls because of extras in the rooms.
The Department of Student Housing estimates that the project will cost $12.6 million.

ways.
in the non-renovated Ellsworth Hall, students shared two communal bathrooms on each floor. Ellsworth now offers accommodations in suites for up to four students with a private bath. These spacious rooms follow design recommendations from students living in suites in other residence halls, said Michelle Moore, complex director of Ellsworth and Hashinger Halls. The bathrooms and closet space shrank, but communal living space expanded.
Megan Persinger, Hiawata sophomore, lived in Hashinger last year and was looking forward to the new rooms and not sharing a bathroom with an entire floor of girls.
Eric Paulson, Wichita suphomore, directs traffic between Ellsworth and Hashinger Halls. Paulson not only directed traffic but helped students move into the residence halls yesterday while volunteering for the Association of University Residence Halls. AURH assisted students moving into the residence halls.
Nate Stafford move in yesterday. Brenda lived in Oliver when she was a student and said Ellsworth looked much nicer than Oliver did when she went to the University.
"Communal bathrooms kind of sucked," Persinger said. "If you had to pee, you had to put on shoes and walk all the way down the hall."
Brandon Baker/Kansan
The rooms provide students with stackable maple furniture, a departure from traditional oak furniture in other dormitories at the University of Kansas, said Carol Von Tersch, assistant director of student housing.
Brenda Stafford helped her son
In the communal living space, counter tops provide a space for a fridge and microwave next to a stainless steel sink. On each floor, eight four-person suites are tucked between the 10 two-person rooms. Ellsworth has three types of rooms for two roommates: two-person rooms with a private bath, traditional two-person rooms with communal bathrooms on the floor and larger two-person studios with a bathroom. The two-person studios are on the first and second floors below the lobby and main entrance of the dormitory. Moore said freshmen cannot occupy these larger studio apartments. Moore said the floors were not done yet, but she expected construction crews to have them completed in September.
Ellsworth is the first residence hall with a faculty apartment and office in the building. This room is the largest room for living accommodations in Ellsworth. However, Mooresaid the housing department has not made a final decision on who the faculty adviser would be.
The faculty apartment will
house a professor, an academic adviser or a student affairs administrator. The two-bedroom faculty room, located on the third floor is more spacious and private compared to the student living accommodations in Ellsworth. The space has a full kitchen and bath. The faculty person residing at Ellsworth Hall will work out of an office on the first floor. The idea of housing a faculty member on the
same premises as students is part of Ellsworth Hall's excellence programs, Moore said.
The Experiencing Excellence in Ellsworth, or 3E program, is an idea from before the construe-
tion. However, the proposed plan calls for an emphasis on academics rather than freshmen involvement, according to the Living/Learning Communities Proposal submitted Aug. 5, 2002.

Neighborhood fears impact of new fitness center
By Amanda Kim Stairrett
astairrett@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Looking to the south side of campus, students see a new, $13.5 million recreation fitness center that replaces worn facilities at Robinson Center. But when 260 households in the University Place neighborhood look north, they see an intrusion into their way of life.
"The building is like Wal-Mart in its size and scale," said Caleb Morse, past University Place Neighborhood Association president.
When residents first heard about plans for the development of the 96,000-square-foot center they were worried about the amount of traffic, noise, light and water runoff the building would produce at 1704 Watkins Center Drive.
The University of Kansas and the
building's architect and planning consultation firm, the Ken Ebert Design Group, took the surrounding neighborhood into consideration when developing the plans.
"We were very concerned about lighting, building orientation, sight lines, green space and mechanical equipment noise," said Mike Mayo, vice president of the design group.
Exterior basketball courts with bright lights were built on the east side of the building, away from houses. Loud music is banned on the courts and lights will turn off at midnight. A significant concern for neighborhood members was the massive air-conditioning equipment that is typically located on roofs. The University went to great lengths to locate the noisiest elements of the machinery to the basement.
On Aug.28, trees and shrubs will be planted along the alley on the east side of the facility. This will provide privacy and prevent erosion. Rainwater retainment areas were placed on the site to prevent water from flooding the basements of University Place homes.
"We are doing all different kinds of things to foster a relationship and build rapport with the neighborhood," said Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services.
when the idea of a student recreation fitness center was introduced in 1996, it was planned for West Campus at 23rd and Iowa streets. According to Chappell, the proposal failed because a lack of infrastructure away from the main campus.
University Place extends from the north side of 19th Street to the south side of the main campus and from the east side of Arkansas Street to the east side of Louisiana Street.
Residents are feeling the squeeze from the University on one side and Lawrence High
School on the other. According to a survey commissioned by the neighborhood, parking and traffic flow is a continuing problem.
To alleviate some of the problems, a section of 18th Street in front of the recreation center recently became one-way. The city of Lawrence installed the diverter at the request of the University.
Even with the new measures, University Place residents are still concerned about traffic.
Jonathan Earle, past Neighborhood president and assistant professor of history pointed out that many residents with complaints are University employees.
"We all love the University and we want it to do well," Earle said. "The students deserve it."
The Student Recreation Fitness Center is set to open on Sept. 4 with a grand opening ceremony on Sept. 25.

All of the money spent to build and maintain the recreation center comes from student recreation fees. These fees were raised in 1999 after students passed a referendum for the recreation center to be built.
This semester, $62 of a student's campus fees will be applied to pay off the $17 million worth of bonds that went towards the construction of the center, Chappell said.
Last year, Recreation Services employed about 300 students, Chappell said. She estimated that with the opening of the new recreation center, that number would increase to more than 400.
"We want this to be a student-run, student-friendly place," Chappell said. "And it will take a lot of students to run this big place all day long."
Unlike Robinson, which is unavailable during weekdays
"We want this to be a student-run,studentfriendly place,and it will take a lot of students to run this big place all day long."
Mary Chappeil director of recreation services
because of classroom activity,the recreation center will be open to students from 6 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday.
"That kind of access is so important and we're excited to be able to offer that to students," Chappell said.
And students such as Evanhoe are excited to take advantage of it.
No excuses now.
"If it's as cool as they say it is,
I'll have to check it out," Evanhoe said.
"Maybe I even workout."

Cara Phillips, Kansas City, Kan., senior (left) Beth Nettels, Houston junior, and Kandace Creel, Albuquerque, N.M., senior, finish a late-night snack at Perkins. "It's the best food you can get this late driving sober," Nettels said. Perkins is one of three Lawrence restaurants that remains open 24 hours.

For Geoff Farwell, and many like him, a hollow feeling comes around at the same time every weekend.
The bars close and his empty stomach desires some good food after a solid night of drinking.
Farwell, Denver senior, schedules his weekends around the bars. Drinking alcohol socially speeds up the digestion process, and people often get hungry as the night progresses, according to the Pentagon's drug awareness Web site.
it.
"It's almost inevitable." Farwell said. "Even if I eat before I go out, I'll still be hungry come 1 o'clock."
Amanda Rivera, Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., senior, is one of La Parrilla's man fans.
Lawrence offers a variety of dining options that remain open after midnight, catering specifically to late-night eaters like Farwell.
"It's something different," she said. "The food is great, and they're open until three."
La Parrilla, 814 Massachusetts St., offers a spicier alternative. It specializes in Latin American cuisine including tacos, quesadillas, rice bowls and salads.
In the Lawrence area, about 26 drive-through, delivery or dine-in options remain open after midnight seven days a week. From pizza to burritos to hamburgers, almost all tastes are accommodated.
Fast food is also available for
One of the most crowded for late-night dining remains Perkins Restaurant, 1711 W. 23rd St. Perkins, open 24 hours seven days a week, offers everything from pancakes and omelettes to chicken sandwiches and burgers.
"No matter what mood I'm in, they have something I like," Leah Kumicki. Chicago senior, said.
Among other dine-in options are Steak n Shake, 3111 Nieder Road, and the International House of Pancakes, also known as "IHOP," 3201 Iowa St. Both are open 24 hours all week.
those not wanting to wait for a table. Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, with locations at 601 Kasold St. and 523 W. 23rd St.. is a must for Farwell.
"It's good to know there's always something open." Farwell said.
"Wendy's has good variety for people who like everything," Farwell said.

A late-night favorite among the Mexican food stops is Burrito King at 900 Illinois St. It normally gets crowded over weekends after the bars close for those wanting to experience "the biggest, cheapest burritos in town," as Burrito King advertises.
If the hassle of driving around to get food is too much, lazy eaters have another option: go home and order a pizza from one of the several places that deliver late such as Gumby's Pizza, 1445 W. 23rd St. Or if so inclined, three Lawrence bars — The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., and Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St. — sell pizza by the slice.

University sets goal to build new center by fall 2005
By Johanna M. Maska
jmaska@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Seven hours away from home, and miles from family comfort, Melanie Weiser found a home away from home at the Multicultural Resource Center, more commonly known as the MRC.
It wasn't that the Dallas senior felt an immediate draw to the center, Weiser said. She didn't know that the "shack," as she called it, housed anything other than storage.
As a freshman seeking a comfortable environment, Weiser joined Hillel, a Jewish student organization. Charged with working on a Hillel project with Santos Nuñez, MRC director, Weiser found her niche.
Weiser is now the president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and is a member of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, a traditionally Latina and Hispanic sorority. And, like many, she's excited about the prospect of a new MRC.
The MRC, originally a Student Senate concept in 1991, became a reality in 1995 at its
location between the Military Science Building and Summerfield Hall.
Now, Senate is spearheading the construction with the help of Kansas University Endowment Association of a new MRC location, an addition to the Kansas Union.
Student funds are rolling in at a clip of $3.50 per person per semester, said Catherine Bell, student body vice president. An unnamed donor is expected to confirm a pledge of more than half the cost of the estimated $2.5 million project.
If the donor is secured this

The current location was originally deemed temporary because of an insufficient structure. In 2002, maps for the future of University of Kansas campus did not include the center.
The Multicultural Resource Center, currently located behind the Military Science Building, is waiting to find its new home as an addition to the Kansas Union. If Student Senate finds a person to donate $2.5 million by the end of this month, the building could open by fall 2005.

month, the building is expected to open in Fall 2005.
Instead, a parking lot covered the grounds. Students dissatisfied with alternatives, pushed for a new center that existed independently of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
At the Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska Symposium on Multicultural and Minority Affairs Offices held at campus last week, Lonnie R. Williams, associate vice chancellor of Student Affairs at Arkansas State University, spoke of the importance of cultural centers on traditionally white campuses. His presentation noted the basis of multicultural centers as a response to civil rights movements.
He also emphasized an importance of the centers in today's university atmosphere.
"College enrollment among students of color has increased more than 48 percent during the past decade, including a gain of
nearly 15 percent since 1995," he said.
He encouraged centers to address "campus climate," provide the campus connection with the human touch and develop a method of advance warning for those in academic trouble.
These and other services such as organizational support for the student groups such as Asian American Student Union, Black Student Union, Diversity Peer Education Team, First Nations
Student Association, Hillel, HALO, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Queers & Allies, are all other considerations in the expansion of the MRC.
Weiser expects only good can come of the move.
"It's every student's right, regardless of whether or not you are a minority, to have access to a center that provides multicultural resources," said Weiser.
Multicultural guide aims to help students learn about city

Check out Checkers for some quality Hispanic cuisine or find out where Lawrence's stops on the Underground Railroad were.
These and many other tips for incoming students are in a new guide called Smooth Transitions.
James Owen, Springfield Mo., third-year law student, worked with a committee of students and administrators to
develop the multicultural guide geared toward non-traditional and graduate students. The guide aims to acclimate students to Lawrence.
Owen has been involved in diversity programs at the University of Kansas since he arrived in Lawrence three years ago.
Last March, as the executive director of the Graduate and Professional Association, Owen chaired a Diversity Issue Summit that asked students to come with ideas to enhance the University for every student.
"There is a belief that multiculturalism is synonymous with minorities, whereas everyone will benefit from a multicultural awareness," Owen said.
Tony Daniels, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the guide would be useful for all students. Daniels is organizing a Multicultural Student Success Conference. As part of this conference, he is in contact with corporations and Kansas businesses that he thinks put a premium on multicultural experience.
"Everyone will benefit from a multicultural awareness."
James Owen
Springfield, Mo., third-year law student
The idea for Smooth Transitions came from Jamel Bell, St. Joseph, Mo., graduate student. Bell did research on similar guides at other universities and thought the formula could work for KU.
Owen modeled the Univer.
sity guide after a Harvard University guide for African-American and Hispanic students.
But Owen said he expanded upon Harvard's guide. The roughly 40-page Smooth Transitions includes broader, nonrace issues such as religion and sexuality.
"This is truly unique," Owen said.
Daniels thinks the audience Owen targets deserves more attention.
Undergraduate students have a set orientation process. The University contacts them before
they arrive and holds activities such as Junior days and Super Saturdays.
The reality, he said, was that anyone new to the community needed this information.
"The bad thing for grad students is that there is an assumption that they know what to do," Owen said.
Owens wants the guide to serve as a starting point for those wanting to find their way through Lawrence businesses.

Semester brings change of deans
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN = 15A
As Hedden takes over fine arts, Gentry prepares to leave journalism position
By Alex Hoffman
ahoffman@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As one dean begins his first year at the University of Kansas, another prepares to step down.
Steven K. Hedden started his job as dean of fine arts July 1. On July 24, James K. Gentry, dean of journalism, announced he would leave his position after this academic year. Gentry plans to continue teaching at the University.
Hedden, a Colby native, succeeds Toni-Marie Montgomery, who accepted the position of dean of fine arts at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. He earned three degrees in music education from KU in 1964, 1969 and 1971. After teaching one year at Kansas and another at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, Hedden taught at the University of Iowa for 15 years. He then served as
dean of fine arts at the University of Arizona and, until last year, Wichita State University.
"It was very easy to make the decision to come back," Hedden said. "I'm getting the opportunity to provide leadership to a school that provided me great leadership."
Hedden said active listening and observing were among his priorities for his first year.
"It's important for me to have a regular forum to talk to students," he said.
Larry Mallett, chairman of the music and dance department, said finding more financial resources also would be one of Heden's goals.
"I know he's very cognizant of both fundraising and friend-raising." Mallett said.
Hedden said he wanted to blend these goals together without imposing a different agenda on the school.
PETER JOHN HAYES
"I want to build on the wisdom and vision that are already here," he said.
Mallett said the art and design and music and dance departments would benefit from Hedden's leadership.
Hedden
"I believe he is going to be even-handed and fair to all disciplines," he said.
Gentry is entering his seventh year as dean of journalism. He said it was the right time for him to explore other opportunities.
"I didn't want to keep the job forever, so I'll keep my word," he said.
Gentry helped to prepare journalism students for advancing technology. He helped usher in media convergence, which emphasizes the interaction of
print, broadcast and online media. Gentry said the approach gained attention from other universities around the country. He said schools such as Ball State, University of South California and Virginia Commonwealth were all looking closely at the University's program.
Gentry said he looked forward to teaching again, possibly in management or leadership. He said he enjoyed working with a mix of undergraduates, graduates and professionals.
"I like the part of being able to create and getting people involved," he said.
While the school continued to be change-oriented, Gentry said it needed to keep an important point in mind.
"We have tried hard to not give up our traditional strengths," he said. "It would be stupid for us to neglect them."

KPR teams up with Vehicles for Charity to raise money
Kansas Public Radio at the University of Kansas has joined forces with Denver-based Vehicles for Charity to give listeners a new way to support public radio.
The new partnership makes it possible for KPR listeners to donate their usable but unwanted vehicles to the radio station. Vehicles for Charity will then auction the vehicles.
KPR will receive 60 percent
of the sale proceeds. The remaining profit goes to Vehicles for Charity's partner, Denver's ARC, a group that aides people with disabilities.
No set financial goal is set, but KPR has high hopes for the partnership, said Phil Wilke, media manager for KPR.
"If we could see a small portion of that, it would help us a lot."
By teaming with Vehicles for Charity, KPR is able to provide an alternative way for its listeners to support the station.
"This is another great way for KPR listeners to support the station," said Janet Campbell, general manager of KPR. "Our listeners and members help in their own way. If that means donating a car instead of perhaps calling in during the pledge drive, we're happy they want to support KPR in any way they can."
Vehicles for Charity will accept and auction cars, trucks, boats, recreational vehicles and motorcycles.
To arrange for donation and pick-up of a vehicle, call Vehicles for Charity toll-free at (877) 308-2408.

Third Republican enters race for 3rd District spot
OVERLAND PARK — As expected, a third Republican has entered the race for Congress in the 3rd District, seeking the seat now held by Democrat Dennis Moore.
State Rep. Patricia Lightner of Overland Park announced her candidacy on Thursday, joining a
field that includes Adam Taff, who lost to Moore in a close race last year, and Kris Kobach, who returned to Kansas to run after two years in Washington with the Justice Department.
"I'm certainly not really happy with my current congressman," Lightner said. "I live here, and I
work here, and it means a lot to me to have the kind of representation that represents the 3rd District. So I'm stepping up to the plate."
Lightner, 45, is an attorney who was first elected to the Kansas House in 1998, the same year Moore won his seat in Congress, ousting the conservative Republican Vince Snowbarger. The district includes Johnson and Wyandotte Counties and part of Douglas County. The district had traditionally been Republican before Moore won the seat, and winning it back is a goal for national GOP leaders.

New vice provost puts academics first
Marlesa Roney's formula for success at the University of Kansas is simple: graduation should be priority No.1.
As the new vice provost for student success, Roney has the job of convincing students to put academics first and save their social lives for after class. The Office of Student Success oversees 20 organizations, both academic and extra-curricular.
Roney came to the University in June from the University of Akron, where she was vice provost of student affairs. Before that, she successfully worked to increase the graduation rate as a registrar at Purdue University.
Growing up in Concordia, Roney said she understood the history and traditions at the University and looked forward to instilling in students a sense of belonging.
Provost David Shulenburger said Roney was selected from a national search for a new vice provost because of her success at Purdue.
Roney said although classes should come first, absorbing university life was just as important. She said that could be as simple as walking to Wescoe Terrace for lunch or studying in the shade of trees on campus.
"I want people to know they're part of something bigger than just their academic major," Roney said.
The Office of Student Success is the renamed and refocused Office of Student Affairs. Roney said when David Ambler, former vice chancellor of student affairs, left his position in August 2002, Shulenburger took it as an opportunity to see what needed improvement.
Shulenburger said he and Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost, decided to focus the student affairs office on academic success. By doing
this, he said the University could increase graduation and retention rates.

"We will make 'student success' more than the name of the division that
Roney
Marlesa heads," Shulenburger said.
Roney said not too year was to involve more students in the decision-making process. She said she wanted to be more responsive to all students' needs because the University had a habit of focusing only on undergraduates.
"It's not a new idea," Roney said. "We're just trying to breathe life into it."
So far, Roney said she has been enjoying life in Lawrence and at the University.
"Everyone has a can-do attitude and a commitment to the University." Roney said. "All the students I've met so far have been outstanding."
Roney said she is eager to experience campus during the regular semester, because the summer is always a little slower. But that's not to say she hasn't had her hands full with her new duties.
"It hasn't been dull," Roney said. "I've been pretty busy."
During the summer Roney attended new student orientation sessions and said she was just learning along with the freshmen.
Although no new programs have been created since Roney's arrival, she is looking forward to the new thematic learning centers and improving online services.
Roney's first goal remains to help students succeed academically.
"If we don't support that first," Roney said, "co-curricular activities could overshadow the curricular."

After a dormant winter, West Nile virus has surfaced in Kansas for the second straight summer, striking earlier and more often than before.
Despite the increased number of West Nile cases in Kansas and throughout the country, officials say that West Nile does not have to be a major cause of concern. If the proper precautions are taken, the mosquito-borne virus can be avoided, said Sharon Watson, public information officer with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
"Rather than worry about it, people should take the precautions necessary to prevent West Nile virus." Watson said. "If people do what is necessary, then there isn't a need to be worried."
"The second or third year of the outbreak tended to be worse than the first," she said. "We were expecting it, so we have been gearing up for a more difficult year."
KDHE officials expected an increase after seeing it happen in other states that had been infected with West Nile for several years.
This summer, KDHE confirmed four human cases of West Nile virus: two in Gray county and one each in Ford and Sherman counties. Two victims remain hospitalized.
The department also confirmed the presence of West Nile virus in horses, birds and mosquitoes in 43 additional Kansas counties.
West Nile resurfaced in Douglas County in early August, when a dead crow tested positive for the disease.
disease. No human cases have been reported in the area, but officials with the Douglas County Health Department are preparing for the
worst, said Kim Ens, the department's disease control program coordinator.
Douglas County has avoided many cases of West Nile because of the extreme drought, Ens said.
At this time last year the CDC had confirmed 100 human cases.
"With the lack of rain, we haven't had a lot of standing water, which has reduced the mosquito population in the area," Ens said.
West Nile virus has killed four people and infected about 150 oth
ers in the United States this summer, according to reports released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
With the increase in West Nile cases, Kansas health officials are asking people to take precautionary measures to prevent any further spread of the disease.
The best strategy for controlling
the West Nile virus is controlling the mosquito population, said Ludek Zurek, assistant professor in medical anthropology at Kansas State University.
State University.
Zurek, who works with KDHE to track the virus in Kansas, recommends people eliminate any stagnant, standing pools of water. Any water pools that are needed, such as bird baths or pet dishes, should be changed daily.
Prevention has helped Flint Russett, Jetmore third-year pharmacy student, and his family protect their livestock and themselves. After losing a colt to the West Nile virus last year, the Russett began vaccinating their horses against the virus and spraying for mosquitoes.
Animals on other farms in Jetmore have contracted the West Nile virus, but the Russett farm has not been hit this year.
In addition to proper precautions, tracking the spread of the West Nile virus will help control it. Zurek said. Tracking dead birds is the most effective.
"We've gotten lucky, but a lot of that is because of the precautions we are taking this year," he said.
Kansas residents can report dead birds to the KDHE by calling toll-free 1-865-462-7810. For questions about West Nile virus in humans, contact KDHE at 1-877-427-7317.

HOW TO STAY SAFE
The West Nile virus has infected four Kansas residents this summer. Though the virus is particularly dangerous to the elderly and those with weakened immune systems, it is important for everyone to take precautions to prevent the disease, said Sharon Watson, public information officer for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. There are several times a year, during sickness and stressful periods, when even healthy immune systems are weakened, she said. "We want everyone to make caution a general practice, because you just never know," Watson said.

Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors.

The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Even when sweeping, waiting tables and tossing a Frisbee count as exercise, most Americans still aren't getting enough of it.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, believing earlier studies failed to accurately
measure Americans' fitness because they focused on intense exercise, has lumped everyday activities such as housework and gardening with jogging and lifting weights.
But even with playing with children and raking the lawn on the list of moderate-intensity activities, the 2001 phone survey
released Thursday showed 55 percent of adults still didn't get the recommended minimum: 30 minutes a day, at least four days a week.
“It's surprising," said Harold Kohl of the CDC, who authored the study. "There's still more than one out of two Americans who are not active at a level we think
promotes health. From an overall health standpoint, ... we've really got to move the needle substantially from where it is right now."
The 2001 survey results were better than under the old definition of exercise used in the 2000 survey, when 74 percent of adults missed the recommendations, but still too low, health officials
The survey found little change in the proportion of adults who said they didn't do any kind of significant exercise — 26 percent in 2001 and 27.4 percent in 2000. It also found that Kentucky had the lowest percentage of people who got the recommended amount of exercise, while Wyoming had the

Enhancement plan goes on as tuition rises 17 percent
Money goes to fund student grants,staff pay
By Robert Perkins
rperkins@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
In-state undergraduates will pay more than $600 more to attend the University of Kansas than they did last year.
This is the second year of the five-year tuition enhancement plan. Tuition increased 17.71 percent from last year, and by the end of the plan will have ultimately doubled from $77.75 per credit hour to around $160.25 per credit hour.
The University will devote funds raised by this year's tuition increase toward furthering Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goal of improving the educational experience for students, despite a state-wide budget crunch.
budget clerks Lynn Bretz, director of the Office of University Relations, said the main goal of the chancellor and the provost was to protect the University's academic mission.
"What we're doing with the tuition enhancement dollars is to build a better university," she said. "Students are going to see where their tuition dollars go."
Previously, the University's tuition money was part of a general fund that went to all of the state's higher education facilities. This meant that no matter how much the University raised tuition, it might not necessarily benefit KU but instead could be divided among many other universities.
money it receives from the state.
many reserves from the state. The report of the Ad Hoc Committee on University Funding states that support for tuition increases is contingent upon the money being used to enhance students' education, not offset shortcomings in government funding. The University has chosen to spend the enhancement money, as it's called, for student grants, staff pay increases, technology and learning environment improvement. About 20 percent of the revenue from the tuition increase will be spent on need-based grants for students. The KU Tuition Grant adjusts the tuition of the student for what it would have been without the increase. Last year the University allotted $1.7 million for the grant, which will double to $3.4 million this year.
Brenda Maigaard, director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said she had received positive feedback from students and parents who had benefited from the grant.
Individual undergraduate students who receive the grant will be awarded $1,000 each this year, up from $500 last year. Graduate students will receive $800,up from $400. Students getting any other kind of financial aid are not eligible for the grant.
"They said it really helped them to remain at KU, or to attend it in the first place," she said.
For the 2001-2002 academic year, the Board of Regents agreed to fund the state's universities on a block grant that didn't take their tuition into account and allowed them full ownership of their tuition.
As a result, when tuition at the University increases, the money stays at the University and doesn't affect how much
"What we're doing with the tuition enhancement dollars is to build a better university."
director of the Office of University Relations
Lynn Bretz
The University will split the rest of the money between staff raises and upgrading buildings.
Some money is being spent on improving KU's libraries. Bill Myers, director of library development, said his goal was to make the libraries more accessible and inviting to students. Myers wanted to improve libraries' technology this year. Last year's money helped pay for the revamping of
Watson Library's lobby.
Not everyone is pleased about the way the tuition increase money has been spent, however.
Dan Carey, the president of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, said that though the GTAC had decided not to take a stance on the issue of tuition increase, he personally didn't support it.
As per the new contract with the GTAC, the University agreed to pay $3 million over the course of three years to the GTAs, which is roughly a 10 percent increase in pay. That money is coming from the tuition increase, a fact that Carey, Overland Park graduate student, said he wasn't pleased about. Carey said that it seemed like a ploy to hurt the GTAC's bargaining position for renegotiating its contract in two years by swaying public opinion.
"The reason why they like to say that it's coming from student tuition is that they want to use that against us," Carey said. "That seems to be one of their strategies."
Allocations for tuition increase
Faculty Salary Increases $1,500,000 (merit-based system)
Department OOE $1,500,000
Bretz said the reason for using enhancement money for the GTAs was because it would attract better graduates and improve the standard of education, which fell within the goals of the increase.
Technology enhancements $500,00^{0}$
Unclassified staff salary increases $2,400,000 (merit-based system)
"Working conditions equal learning conditions," he said. "You improve our working conditions, you're going to improve the learning conditions of the undergraduates."
Unclassified staff salary increases $2,400,000 (merit-based system)
GTA salary increases $700,000
Libraries $1,000,000
New staff positions $500,000
Faculty startup $420,000
Student hourly wages $0
New GTA/lecturer positions $150,000
GRA tuition/GTA health insurance $0
Program/student support $0
Classroom improvement $60,000
TOTAL $8,730,000
Carey agreed that the money would help, but said he wanted it to come from somewhere else.
Even with the tuition increase, the University remains cheaper than many comparable schools. From 1980 to 2001, the University had the fifth-lowest change in
tuition and required fees of all 50 state flagship universities.
Low tuition has taken its toll on the University though. As of 2001, the University had a $50 million gap in funding between it and its peers. The goal of the tuition increase is to close that gap by approximately $43 million.

Despite a $20 per credit hour increase last year, University instate tuition remained cheaper than that at the University of Missouri, the University of Iowa and the University of Nebraska.

Hawk Week greets new students
MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 2003
By Kevin Kampwirth
kkampwirth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Free ice cream, Coca-Cola products and movie passes are just a few perks of Hawk Week 2003, which kicked off last night at the Kansas Union.
Hawk Week will last until Saturday and consists of a series of social events and gatherings to introduce incoming freshmen to the University of Kansas environment.
"Hawk Week is one of the most exciting weeks of the year on campus," said Shanda Hurla, the Hawk Week coordinator in the office of new student orientation. "It allows new students to see everything KU has to offer and to interact with others."
Hurla and event coordinators expect about 10,000 incoming and returning students to participate in the activities.
"I don't plan on going this year," she said. "But when I went as a new student, I met a lot of people and it was a great experience."
Today marks the first full day of activities with events such as choir auditions and tours of various libraries on campus.
Highlighting the night's events are an ice cream social with free ice cream at the Adams Alumni Center, across from the Kansas Union, and Traditions Night at Memorial

Students also have the opportunity this week to decide which, if any, optional campus services they wish to subscribe to. Some of these include buying parking permits, bus passes, sports combo packages and Student Union Activities movie cards.
The day events during Hawk Week are designed to familiarize new students with the KU campus and surroundings, while the nights' activities are more for entertainment.
"Most students tend to see the night events," Hurla said. "But it is the events during the day that show students how to succeed academically."

One of Wednesday's highlights is "Take Over the Beach" sponsored by Hawk Link. The event held on Wescoe Beach allows students to interact with University organizations.
"Wednesday's event really gives new students a chance to come and see the wide diversity of KU's campus," said Lase Ajaji, Lawrence senior and Hawk Link guide. "It's extremely important that students realize early on what resources they have and where they can turn."
Wednesday culminates with Convocation from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Lied Center. This address from Chancellor Robert Hemenway to the University marks the official start to the academic year.
Some other highlights for the rest of the week are Friday night's
Lied Center Concert, featuring Grammy-award winning banjo player Alison Brown. This is followed at 10 p.m. by SUA's "Movie on the Hill" showing of Anger Management on the Campanile Hill.
The events end Saturday night with a welcome-back concert at the Lied Center featuring Evac, Kelpie and g.b. Leighton.
The organizers' intent is for students to take the opportunities presented this week and use them to their advantage the rest of their time at the University, Hurla said.
"The more students can be connected before classes begin, the more likely they will succeed academically and socially," she said.
University offers new transportation with free bus route
By Paul Kramer
pkramer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The distance from Summerfield to the Union is relatively short. But it, like any one time trip on a KU bus, costs $1 without a bus pass.
Edited by JJ Hensley
Paying a dollar might be a minor inconvenience for some, but for KUnited, giving students a free way to get around campus was a major part of its last election platform.
The Jayhawk Express, a new free bus route that will snake through campus in a figure eight form, hitting lower campus, swinging by the Union and continuing through campus past JRP, helps students who don't have a bus pass avoid some of the long walks the University's hillsy campus offers.
Andy Knopp, student body president, said the extra money for the bus came from the budget. If the popularity of the program surpasses the capacity of the one bus, Knopp said a small charge to students would be needed to cover the costs of additional busses.
One bus will pass every thirty minutes.
Knopp said he was proud that students with classes at opposite ends of campus would be able to make the trip without paying the price of a regular bus pass.
Student Body Vice President Catherine Bell said the project did not get caught up in red tape. The proposal passed at the first transportation board meeting after elections.
Although the bus route did not require any additional student fees, Tim Akright, transportation committee chairman, said the money came from adjusting other routes to fit costs.
"The JRP bus was cut last year and so was the East Lawrence route, so there was some money saved there," Akright said.
Knopp, Bell and Akright said the bus would be beneficial for students who didn't have bus passes — though they are worried that students who do have a pass will take up space on the new route.
So there will be no mistaking the bus from other pay routes, the bus will be labeled "Jayhawk Express" at the top of the bus.
The bus will start running when all campus busses start and will remain free all year.

Hoopla is over for University's Dole Institute now what?
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE—At the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, the focus has shifted from the field of battle to the field of dreams.
At last month's dedication, the spotlight was on the former U.S. senator and presidential candidate's fellow World War II veterans and their stories of heroism and tragedy in battle.
With the hoopla over, the focus has turned to the institute's role on the University of Kansas campus and beyond — what will set it apart from some two dozen other political centers honoring former congressmen and senators.
"If we're just a repository for the Bob Dole papers, I can guarantee you that 10 or 20 years from now, there will be limited
use,” director Richard Norton Smith said. “There is so much more that is possible.”
It's not like the institute is standing empty and void of ideas.
The 28,000-square-foot building houses some 4,000 boxes of Dole's papers from his four decades in Washington, plus exhibits of his political life and boyhood in Kansas. Some 200
boxes have been processed and Smith said it will take 15 years to complete the task.
Already in place is the annual Dole Lecture that features a prominent figure; the Presidential Lecture Series with a slate of notable speakers discussing the presidency and the $25,000 Dole Leadership Prize.
On Sept. 11, about 100 people will stand in front of the giant
stained-glass American flag window and two steel columns from the World Trade Center to become naturalized citizens.
"I can't imagine a more in moving ceremony or a more appropriate place to welcome America's newest citizens," Smith said.
For the institute, the challenge is coming up with what Smith calls the "academic component." That's not university courses and credits, but ways to combine scholarship with public participation.
"We could be a world-class research facility that doesn't sequester knowledge or ideas in a tight academic circle but reaches out with the radical notion that public policy making requires some degree of public participation," Smith said.

Some university groups see positive steps in the election of a gay bishop
By Meghan Brune
mbrune@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Sarah Burris, Lawrence junior, said she was shocked and excited to hear an openly gay man had been confirmed as bishop of New Hampshire.
"The Episcopal church is open and progressive, but I can't believe they went so far for an openly gay minister to become bishop," Burris said.
Burris, outreach coordinator for the University of Kansas Queers and Allies, said gays and lesbians still had a long road to being accepted by all religions.
"I don't think something like this is going to progress everything astronomically." Burris said. "But it is baby steps."
said. But it's too early.
Rev, Gene V. Robinson was elected as bishop of the New Hampshire diocese on June 7, 2003. Robinson is a divorced father of two who has lived with his partner, Mark Andrews, for 13 years. The House of Deputies and the House of Bishops, the legislative bodies of the Episcopal General Convention, must ratify Robinson's election for him to become bishop. Robinson's consecration is set for Nov. 2, 2003, and his installation as bishop is scheduled for March 7, 2004.
Some of the policy is followed and some is ignored, said Rev. Joe Alford, chaplain at the University Canterbury House.
The House of Bishops releases the Constitution and Canons every three years. This book contains the policies for Episcopal churches.
Cantley Academy
The Cantbury House, 1116
Louisiana St., is a residential and
social center for Episcopal and
Lutheran students.
Alford said each church had a different system of governing.
"Every church is automatically open and affirming by policy, not by practice." Allard said.
Alford said the Episcopal church was historically progressive. The church allowed the ordination of women in 1976, and in 1997 made a statement on homosexuality at the General Convention.
That statement reads, in part, "It is the sense of this general convention that homosexual persons are children of God and have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance and pastoral concern and care of the church."
Though the church's ruling is forthcoming, Alford said theologically he had no problem with homosexuality. The Canterbury House has had gay residents in the past, he said.
"If two people love each other and care about each other, who am I to say that is wrong?" Alford said.
But, Alford also voiced his concern about the decision.
"I don't know if it is wise, I don't know if it is right." Allford said, paraphrasing Acts 5:33. "But I do know if it is of God it will work and if it not it won't."
Whitney Rice, Lee Summit. Mo., junior and Canterbury member, said she was pleased with the New Hampshire church's action, but worried about the costs.
"I think it is a positive step,"
Rice said. "The Episcopal church has done a great job showing leadership in a difficult issue, but this is divisive."
Rice said she worried that Robinson's appointment would cause divisions in the church and it would likely push conservatives to break ranks from the church. Despite these worries, Rice said religious organizations had neglected gays and lesbians for too long.
Alford said looking at how far the church had come on the treatment of women gave him hope for homosexuals.
Burris said she attended the First United Methodist in Lawrence and felt welcomed in her church, but has felt ostracized in the past.
cizein the park.
"In a queer community it is really hard for people who are out to feel comfortable to go to church," Burris said. "I think it is the job of the church to welcome everyone and let them be who they are and practice at the same time."

Kansans utilize No-call registry
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
State and national list hinder telemarketers
Students who want to avoid telemarketers this semester have until Aug. 31 to sign up for the National No-Call Registry. The registry goes into effect after Oct. 1. Those who sign up after Sept. 1 will have to wait three months to get on the list.
Kansas residents can also register with the state, which will add their names to the national list automatically. More than 30 million people are currently registered nationwide, which could easily double after Oct.1, according to the Cincinnati Business Courier.
The Federal Trade Commission, a national consumer protection agency, manages the directory. The FTC also enforces the no-call law, along with the Federal Communications Commission and state law enforcement.
By the end of July, more than 503,000 Kansas residents had registered, said Bill Hoyt, public information officer for the Phil Kline, Kansas Attorney General.
The Kansas No-Call Act, part of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, began last November.
If telemarketing companies and businesses that use them call people on the no-call list, they are subject to fines if complaints are registered. Hoyt said businesses had been penalized almost $187,000 in Kansas.
Hoyt said when the program started, 1,500 residents sent in complaints. Only 106 complaints came last July, a 93 percent decrease.
cent decrease. "We're very pleased that companies want to work within the law," Hoyt said. "We're pleased that the enforcement has been effective."
has been on a national level, telemarketing companies have been feeling the pinch of the registry's popularity, and have drastically downsized their staffs.
While telemarketing may be on the decline overall, local company Affinitas, 1601 W. 23 St., Suite 101, hasn't felt any financial blows.
"We're very pleased that companies want to work within the law."
Bill Hoyt public information officer for the Kansas Attorney General
Denny Dillon, Affinitas center director, said the company hasn't suffered any loss of revenue or staff because 50 percent of the company's business is done by in-bound calls, where customers call the company for more information about a particular business.
Dillon said out-bound calls are always made to people who have an already established a business relationship, one of the exceptions to the no-call registry's rules.
Other exceptions include calls from surveyors, political organizations and charities.
Penalties result from cold calling, where telemarketers call people unsolicited. Dillon said Affinitas doesn't use that practice.
"This is going to hurt the small companies that do cold calling. Unfortunately, most of these companies don't know the law in the first place," Dillon said. "We've positioned ourselves to not do that kind of work. We've been doing that long before the law came along."
Affinitas employs about 700 employees with about 300 people working at the Lawrence station. Of those 300 workers, about 100 of them are University of Kansas students. Dillon said the company is looking to add 50 employees to take inbound calls within the next four to six weeks.
Another local company hasn't been as successful under the no-call law. Lawrence-based KB & Associates, 1525 W. 6th St., paid $5,000 in civil penalties for 11 violations before July 3, according to a Kansas attorney general press release. Attempts to reach KB & Associates were unsuccessful.

Board elections create evolution debate
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Connie Morris was exasperated by the battery of cameras and reporters watching her and her fellow State Board of Education members as if they were zoo animals.
The media came to the board's meeting last week to chronicle another round in Kansas' ongoing Monkey Trial, a debate over evolution and its place in Kansas education.
Morris, a St. Francis Republican, said evolution is a "silly" issue and the media "need to get over it."
But evolution probably will be the defining issue in campaigns for board seats again next year. And having an elected board oversee public schools allows the debate to be sustained.
"The reason it can be done is, there's a venue," said Burdett Loomis, chairman of the University of Kansas' Political Science Department.
The venue has existed since 1966, when voters amended the Kansas Constitution to create the 10-member board.
"We thrash these things out in public forums," said board member Bill Wagnon, a Topeka Democrat. "In the long run, that's the best guarantee that education policy is going to reflect Kansas."
Until evolution became an issue, board races were largely the backwater of Kansas politics. Loomis even suggested, "It's a little unclear as to why the board exists."
Most recently, the board didn't tackle evolution directly but discussed whether it wanted a full review of existing science testing standards.
But board members rally to its defense, whatever their views on evolution and other policy issues.
Five Republicans, including Morris, usually identified as conservatives, favored revising only test questions and materials for teachers. Three Republicans and two Democrats, most often described as the moderate bloc, favored a complete review, with a rewriting of testing standards possible.
Voters will fill five of 10 seats and decide — before the board acts on science standards — how evolution-friendly it will be.
Last week, the board approved a compromise, voting 7-3 for a full review of science standards. But it
Board member John Bacon, an Olathe Republican and a conservative, said a decision on science standards should wait "until the public has a chance to weigh in again."
"I just don't think this current board, with this makeup, could approve science standards," he said.
delayed the start of the review until August 2004 so that a final decision on standards comes after 2004 elections.
Reporters were drawn to the board's meeting by memories of the last fight over evolution.
In 1999, a committee of science educators drafted testing standards describing evolution as one of the most important ideas for students to learn.
Some board members balked and, with the help of the Creation Science Association for Mid-America in Cleveland, Mo., they drafted alternative standards that mentioned evolution only once. The board approved those standards.6-4.
The decision did not ban evolution from Kansas classrooms or require the teaching of alternatives such as creationism, but some scientists worried a movement toward those goals had started. Creationists, Biblical literalists and their conservative sympathizers won a big symbolic victory.
Ridicule from scientific quarters followed, and Kansas was portrayed around the globe as backward.
Opponents of the 1999 standards came to see supporters as anti-education and even anti-intellectual. Backers eventually viewed the criticism as an attempt to limit freedom of thought or an attack on cherished values.
Elections in 2000 left the board with a 7-3, evolution-friendly majority. It promptly revised the science standards in 2001.
Last year, with evolution largely absent as an issue, Morris and another conservative, Iris Van Meter, a Thayer Republican, ousted moderate board members in GOP primaries.
The board's 1999 decision was
crucial in creating the ongoing debate over evolution. To spark the fire, someone had to object when educators proposed standards reflecting a view that evolution is more an explanation than a theory.
It's hard to imagine the board containing anyone who would balk at evolution-friendly standards had members been appointed by then-Gov. Bill Graves, the moderate GOP's leader.
Nor would an appointed secretary or commissioner — undoubtedly trained in a college of education and seasoned by time as a school administrator — seem likely to hesitate over evolution-friendly standards.
Conservatives like Bacon and Steve Abrams, the Arkansas City Republican involved in drafting the 1999 standards, had to sit in board seats. Voters were the most likely to put them there.
And the possibility of such change through biennial elections keeps the evolution fire stoked.
Voters, of course, can remove conservatives and create an evolution-friendly majority.
Kansas aviation museums show state's role in history
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Pastures, crops and a few farm houses once surrounded the art deco Wichita Air Terminal Building.
Then entrepreneurs had an idea building airplanes in Wichita, lots of them, some of the finest the world has seen.
Aviation grew, and so did Wichita's reputation. By the 1930s, the city was dubbed "Air Capital of the World," and one-quarter of the world's aircraft were built and sold by the likes of Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech and Lloyd Stearman.
Today, the terminal's neighbors still produce some of the world's finest aircraft, but visitors see a
vastly different landscape at the end of George Washington Boulevard. The fields have been replaced by runways, homes and the military. The terminal building is home to the Kansas Aviation Museum.
And from Atchison to Liberal, museums honor aviation pioneers.
Atchison is birthplace of Amelia Earhart and home of her museum. The site pays homage to the aviator, who disappeared in July 1937 while attempting an around-the-world flight at the equator.
In Topeka, a must-see destination is the Combat Air Museum at Forbes Field.
MONDAY,AUGUST 18,2003
The museum occupies two
hangars at the former Forbes Air Force Base, which was named for test pilot Maj. Daniel H. Forbes, killed in 1948 while testing the "Flying Wing."
Forbes Air Force Base was closed in 1973. Today it is home to the Kansas Air National Guard. The Combat Air Museum occupies hangars built in the 1950s. It opened in 1977 and steadily acquired aircraft through private citizens and government surplus.
"We get it 'as is, where is," "curator Danny Sanmi罗ani said.
"Some people just like anything that flies," he said. "We're kind of looked at as a guy's museum."
He acknowledged not everyone who comes in is interested in looking at the F-4 Phantom flown by the Kansas Air Guard, the Navy Sea Stallion helicopter or replica of a Curtis Jenny.
Also in Topeka is an original biplane built by Albin Longren, who flew the first Kansas-built aircraft on Sept. 2, 1911, at a field near Topeka. He built additional aircraft over the next 15 years, including "No. 5" which crashed in Abilene but is now on display at the Kansas Museum of History.
Longren flew "No.5" for a year, then sold it to Phil Billard, another Kansas aviation pioneer, who used the plane for flights around Topeka before World War I. Billard was killed in 1918 testing planes for the Allies in France.
Visitors to the Kansas Aviation Museum in Wichita had best be
prepared to spend a little time looking and listening, especially if curator Walt House is their guide. He retired recently after more than 20 years each with the Air Force and Boeing, bringing his knowledge about Kansas aviation with him.
House takes pride in the museum's treasures, including a 1935 Stearman Model 73 and the Swallow 1927 model, built by the Laird Airplane Co. The aircraft were restored in the workshops inside the museum through hundreds of hours of painstaking labor by volunteers.
"I think we're so close that I don't think Matty Laird could tell the difference if he were here," House said of the Swallow.
The jury declined to award him damages for pain, suffering or mental anguish. One of Hogan's attorneys said he would petition the court to have the city pay all of Hogan's legal fees.
On Friday, a federal jury in Kansas City, Kan., ruled that Cliff Hogan's First Amendment rights were violated in November 2000 when he was demoted to patrolman. He was awarded $16,710 — the amount he lost in pay between November 2000 and June 2002, when he left the department.
Hogan filed the lawsuit against the city, Police Chief Lee Bynum and City Manager Paul Sasse after he was demoted and his pay was cut by about $800 a month.
Hogan was demoted after he publicly questioned whether Bynum had committed a crime when Bynum's wife overheard a conversation on an open cell-phone connection between a police dispatcher and the local Emergency Services director.
On Oct. 25, 2000, nowretired Independence dispatcher Patr Riddle called Bynum's wife, Joan, from a hospital emergency room. After the call ended, Riddle's phone did not disconnect, and when Joan Bynum hung up her phone, it rang back because the line was still open.
INDEPENDENCE, Kan.—A former assistant police chief said a civil lawsuit against his employer was more about restoring his reputation than it was about winning the $1.3 million he was seeking in punitive damages.

Ray Ninemire, 68, was filling in for a supervisor when a man who witnesses said was disguised as Abraham Lincoln or an Amish person walked into the store around 6 a.m. carrying a pistol.
The robber pointed the gun at a cashier and was directing her to a customer service counter when Ninemire came toward the front of the store, police said.

Judge keeps some evidence out of trial
OLATHE — A jury in a murder trial next month will not hear allegations that pastor Neil Edgar Sr. used a stun gun to discipline two children.
A Johnson County judge also ruled Friday that prosecutors could not introduce testimony about money paid to Edgar and his wife, Christy Edgar, to care for foster and adoptive children.
The Edgars and family baby sitter Chastity Boyd are charged with first-degree felony murder in the death in December of 9-9-year-old Brian Edgar, Neil Edgar, 48, Christy Edgar, 46, and Boyd, 20, also are charged with abusing two other Edgar children.
Jury selection is scheduled to begin Sept. 15.
Brian suffocated after he was bound head to toe with duct tape at the family's Overland Park house, according to previous testimony in Johnson County District Court.
Judge John Bennett ruled on several prosecution requests to introduce evidence of other incidents that occurred before Brian died.

Dean vindicated; suit thrown out
By Jennifer Wellington
jwellington@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A federal court judge dismissed a lawsuit on 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.
"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."
"I think the ruling showed how totally weak his case was."
Ted Frederickson professor of journalism
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 allegations were without merit," he said. "So I'm pleased the court has dismissed the suit in summary judgment."
Cuenca plans to appeal the court's decision.
In his official statement, Cuenca notes 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 December 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.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In the early 1970s, temperatures in Judy Morgan's classroom at Central High School sometimes reached 110 degrees—in the winter. Plaster fell from the walls. Water dripped from the ceiling when it rained.
The former social studies teacher, who's now president of the Kansas City School District's largest union, had as many as 40 students in some classes. The textbooks she had were so outdated and battered that she didn't bother using them. Instead, she relied on newspaper clippings and other materials to cobble together a curriculum.
Central was an all-black school back then, and the students knew race was part of the reason they were subjected to the "deplorable" conditions, Morgan said.
than $2 billion.
But soon an effort would be under way to change things. In 1977, the Kansas City School District filed a school desegregation lawsuit that would last for 26 years and cost Missouri taxpayers more
On Aug. 13, U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple closed the case that led to districtwide improvements. But an attorney for the plaintiff schoolchildren immediately filed a notice of appeal.
The old, dilapidated Central High has been replaced by a $32 million structure — the most expensive school built as part of the desegregation plan. The new building features a field house so large that two full-court basketball games can be played at once.
But the lawsuit did little — by many accounts — to improve student achievement and stem the surge of families leaving the district for better schools in the suburbs. The district's test scores remain well below the state average.
District officials say that as programs intended to improve test scores are put in place, it's unlikely that teachers, students and parents will notice any change from the lifting of court supervision.
The major difference will be that the school board and superintendent can make routine decisions
without consulting attorneys, said Patricia A. Brannan, an attorney for the school district.
Under the federal court's supervision, Brannan said, making changes to or adding an academic program would prompt consultations with attorneys and lead to stacks of paperwork.
"Yes, you still have to convince the school board and the community," she said. "But, you don't have other layers, like the plaintiffs and the courts."
Superintendent Bernard Taylor Jr. said the lawsuit needed to be filed to right the wrongs of segregation, which was rooted in both state law and economics.
Into the 1930s, the state of Missouri required separate schools for white and black students. Many rural school districts consisted of a single, one-room schoolhouse and the communities couldn't afford to offer separate facilities for blacks.
As a result, many black families moved from rural Missouri to Kansas City and St. Louis, which offered high school education for blacks, according to a history of the
Kansas City legal case written by Arthur A. Benson II, the attorney for the plaintiff schoolchildren.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 1954 ruling in Brown v. the Topeka Board of Education, which overturned the doctrine of "separate but equal" public institutions, the state of Missouri revised its policy. School districts could educate black and white students together — but did not have to the state said.
the Kansas City School District then tried to keep its schools segregated by redrawing school attendance boundaries so that black students would remain in all-black schools, Benson said.
The district fell into disrepair after a series of tax-increase measures failed to win approval. The school board then was taken over by a group of mothers and activists who filed the desegregation case.
In the years to come, the lawsuit was realigned and the district and state became defends and the schoolchildren remained plaintiffs. The state eventually paid $320 million to settle the lawsuit.
The Coca-Cola Foundation donated $30,000 to the Kansas University Endowment Association to establish scholarships to help students who transfer from Haskell Indian Nations University to the University of Kansas.
Coca-Cola gives $30,000 to start new scholarships
The Coca-Cola Native American Scholarship Program gives money to three students each year to help make up for the price difference between the two universities.
Students at Haskell pay $105 per semester for tuition, books, room and board, while students at the University of Kansas pay $1,763.25 for 15 credit hours of in-state tuition alone.
Marigold Linton, Director of American-Indian Outreach, said not all of the small number of students who transferred from Haskell every year made it at the
University, which made scholarships like the one from Coke were important.
"Money like the Coke money would go to the brightest and the best and would really give them a chance to succeed," she said.
The recipients of the award are Brian Yazzie, Fort Defiance, Ariz., junior; Christopher Drymon, Northpoint, Ala., sophomore; and Felicia Impson, Supai, Ariz., junior.
While the students benefit from a more rigorous education, the University benefits from the cultural diversity their presence offers. Linton said.
The Coke endowment will count toward the Endowment Association's goal of raising $500 million for KU First by 2004.

NASA selects students' design for unpiloted planes
Commuters will travel the country in comfort and style in team's unmanned airplane
The interior of the car is very modern. The seats are comfortable and the dashboard has a large touchscreen display. The steering wheel is also quite advanced, with an electronic lock and a power button. The car's exterior design is sleek and futuristic.
Mike Carman, Newton senior; Thomas Brantman, Overland Park alumnus; Greg Groener, St. Charles, Ill. alumnus; and Mike Klodginski, San Antonio alumnus created this conception for the interior of a autonomous commuter plane. The group's design goal was to help passengers feel comfortable in a plane that is flown from a ground-based controller.The students recently presented their project to NASA employees in Oshkosh, Wisc., after winning third place in NASA's Small Aircraft Transportation System competition.

Flying to Oshkosh, Wis., can be a bunny ride. Just ask Mike Carman.
Carman, Newton senior, along with three University of Kansas graduates, flew to Oshkosh to give a presentation about small planes to NASA officials. The trip on a small commuter plane was not the most comfortable, but it did provide some inspiration.
"It was a good experience being tossed around on a small plane on the way back," Carman said. "It gives you some idea what you're designing for."
Carman was in Oshkosh from Aug. 2 to 5 to present a class project to members of NASA's Langley Research Center, which does work in space and aviation technology. Carman and team members Thomas Brantman, Overland Park alumnus; Greg Groener, St. Charles, Ill. alumnus; and Mike Klodginski, San Antonio alumnus, won third place in a Small Aircraft Transportation System competition created by NASA.
created by NAIS.
The team produced a concept for the interior of autonomous commuter airplanes that would be flown by a land-based controller rather than a pilot. The team's design was created to make passengers more relaxed with the idea of flying in a plane that does not have a pilot.
The competition was created by NASA and has college and high school levels. Projects had to be submitted by May 1, but the
"Technology is great and very useful, but if people are afraid of it, they won't use it."
Thomas Brantman project team member
groups had a year to work on their designs.
The University's team spent only two-and-a-half months on its design because it did not know about the competition until it began the Spring 2003 semester. The group was the only non-engineering team that entered the contest.
Group members were told in July they had placed third and would be presenting their design to NASA employees. There were 10 contest entries and 10 members of the Langley Research Center critiqued the projects.
Center critiqued the project. The team did research on how people are affected physically, physiologically and psychologically by flying in small aircraft, then tried to design a plane interior that would comfort passengers when they flew and encourage them to fly on autonomous planes again.
To make people more comfortable in the planes the team looked at such things as what colors should be used in the interior and how chairs should feel when passengers sit in them. They also tried to think of ways to distract passengers so they would not focus on flying in a pilotless plane.
nane. "Technology is great and very
useful but if people are afraid of it they won't use it," Brantman said.
they won't use, Brantman. The team also developed a timeline that suggested NASA should begin using the planes for its SATS program with both a pilot and stewardess. After a short amount of time the pilot could be removed and the plane could be flown from ground-based control towers with a flight attendant on board. Finally, the planes could be flown without a pilot or stewardess.
Brantman said the group created the timeline because its members believed that gradually introducing the autonomous planes to the public would increase the likelihood that people would fly on them.
Working with NASA can be difficult, though. Critique's of the group's effort weren't easy to understand.
"When you work at NASA you forget how to speak English," Brantman said. A lot of technical
jargon was thrown out by NASA's employees, Brantman said.
employees, Brantham said. The competition is done to create ideas for NASA's Small Aircraft Transportation System program. The SATS program is designed to promote connectivity in rural America. The program will use the 5,000 regional airports that are found throughout the country to move people from one place to another.
The focus of the SATS program is to help people move throughout the nation quickly and costefficiently. The planes that the program will use will be commuter planes that will hold four to eight passengers.
NASA wants to have the SATS planes in local airports by 2007. Brantman said the last stage of the program was scheduled to be finished in 2025 and that elements of his group's designs could be used in the final product.

Freshman wide receiver Moderick Johnson sprinted for a pass during drills Thursday morning. Coach Mark Mangino said he would not redshirt Johnson because he was too talented. "We have taken the approach here that we are not going to take the back seat to any team," Mangino said. "I think they are tired of losing, just like their coach."
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
New Athletics Director Lew Perkins said he wanted to see support for all KU sports teams, no matter what the sport or record. Perkins came to the University of Kansas in July after 13 years at the University of Connecticut where he was named 2000 National Athletics Director of the Year.
Excitement grows for next week's football season opener against Northwestern with each 30-yard fade pattern senior quarterback Bill Whittimore and his revamped receiving corps connect on in practice.
following last season's 2-10 overall record, including a winless Big 12 Conference campaign, coach Mark Mangino has already won half the battle by getting his team believing again.
"We have taken the approach here that we are not going to take the back seat to any team," Mangino said. "I think they are tired of losing, just like their coach."
Instead of an off-season full of coaching staff changes, Mangino is counting on the return of some injured starters and a plethora of first-year players cracking the starting lineup.
Two freshmen looking to get onto the field are running back John Randle and wide receiver Moderick Johnson.
All eyes are immediately on Whittemore, who missed the final three games after injuring his knee against rival Missouri on Oct. 26.
Whittemore will be building on a season that saw him set a school record with 22 total touchdowns despite starting just eight times, and a new batch of weapons around him should lessen his workload.
Randle is a quick, elusive back who is competing with sophomore Clark Green for the starting job. Green was the Jayhawks' leading rusher with 813 yards in just 10 starts last season, and will have an opportunity to retain his starting role early.
John Nowak/Kansan
The 6-foot-5 Johnson brings the size and talent to give the Jayhawks the deep threat they have been lacking for years. Mangino said he probably would not redshirt Johnson this season because he was too talented, and Johnson felt his contribution would be more than just physical.

New athletics director says earning revenue key to successful program

When new athletics director Lew Perkins took office in the Wagnon Student Athletes Center on July 7, he did so in coat and tie. Even with the polished look, Perkins pictures himself with the men in stripes.
"I'm kind of like the referee," Perkins said. "Whatever decision I make, 50 percent of the people will be happy and 50 percent say he's a bum. I'm going to make mistakes and that's why people put erasers on pencils."

The Huskies men's and women's basketball teams are national powers. After the Husky football program jumped to Division I-A, Perkins' vision helped build a new $90 million stadium.

months."
Time is something Perkins is asking all KU students, alumni and fans to have as he tries to build up an athletic program that has dipped to the depths of the Big 12 Conference.
The decline in Kansas athletics has come as a surprise to Perkins who came to respect Kansas' athletic programs during his time as athletics director at Wichita State from 1983-87.
important. Perkins recently purchased a home in Lawrence where he will live with his wife of 35 years, Gwen. Gwen joined her husband in Lawrence earlier this month after she had spent the past months in Connecticut finishing up her job duties.
Perkins said one way to help that cause was to create more revenue. After spending 13 years at Connecticut, Perkins left behind a $40 million athletic budget and is now acquainting himself with a $27 million athletic budget at Kansas.
"We've lost our swagger, and we need to have a presence." Perkins said. "When our teams step on the field they have to think they're going to win and the other teams are going to think we're going to beat them."

"He cares a great deal about the student athletes as people not just athletes," said Jim Marchiony, the new associate athletics director for external affairs who followed Perkins to Lawrence from Connecticut. "People will be pleased with Lew's caring."

Look for superstars on the field this season
Basketball this, basketball that.
It's always the same thing. Paul Pierce this, Danny Manning that.
When thinking back on the recent years in Kansas athletics, when was the last time Jayhawk fans had a superstar athlete who did not compete in Allen Fieldhouse?
Alan Fleethouse:
Don't worry, the goal of this piece is not to bash fans for not giving other sports the same attention that the basketball players are showered with. Instead, these are some athletes who have a chance to become superstars on the battlefield for University of Kansas "other" teams.
Kansas other teams
Moderick Johnson — Football — Freshman Wide Receiver
Johnson has not only shown the ability to play a big game, but talk one too. This 6-foot-5 freshman out of North Shore High School in Houston will not only spice up the Jayhawks' air assault this fall, but he has one rare quality found only in superstars: marketability. The media will be hyping his kid, and if the athletics department knows what it's doing, it will make sure his name spreads like wildfire.
Josi Lima — Volleyball — Sophomore Middle Blocker
Lima blew up on the Kansas athletics scene last season, and she has proven to be the leader on a volleyball team expected to make a lot of noise in the Big 12 Conference this season. Lima set a Kansas freshman record with 327 kills and became the first freshman to lead the team in kills since 1985.
since 1983.
Her thunderous spikes get the crowd on its feet, and her passion for the game charges up her teammates. Somebody's got to get this girl a nickname already.
Caroline Smith Soccer Sophomore Forward
Much like Lima, Smith blew up the Kansas record books with a phenomenal freshman year. Smith scored a school-record of 12 goals and led the Big 12 in goals per game. Even though a knee injury cut her season short, Smith is the brightest star on a team that ranks 31st in the nation to start the season.
son:
The only thing keeping her from becoming a star is that no one seems to go out to the games. If she gets the fan support, watch out.
John Randle — Football — Freshman Tailback
Ainback This guy is the long shot, but if he lives up to his potential, he could go down as one of the finest tailbacks to ever suit up for the Jayhawks.
Randle's sweet combination of size, speed and a plethora of moves could make him the prize of this year's freshman class.
year's freshman.
His toughest obstacle will be replacing Clark Green for the top spot on the depth chart. Green will more than likely start the season behind Bill Whitmore after an 813-yard effort while splitting time with Reggie Duncan last year.

Changes produce excitement in sports
Exciting. That's just about the only way to describe the upcoming year for sports fans at Kansas. Excitement can't be avoided anytime an institution undergoes major changes, and the University's Athletics Department is full of new faces.
New athletics director Lew Perkins has already started shuffling personnel. The changes made within the athletics administration offices could easily fill this column, but that's all covered in this issue of the The University Daily Kansas.
Beyond the administrators, the Kansan will take time this semester to introduce readers to a new tennis coach, Amy Hall. And apparently the Athletics Department hired some coach named Bill Self.
Bur Sen:
The Kansan is committed to bringing readers coverage of the sports that interest them. We'll provide every detail when the Jayhawks begin their quest for another Final Four and as Mark Mangino continues to pump new life in the football program during his second season.
It also means tracking the progress of other second-year coaches trying to turn their respective programs around. Baseball coach Ritch Price has a core group of sluggers returning, and Megan Menzel will try to improve on last year's 11th place finish in Big 12 Conference women's golf. Clark Campbell has 12 new recruits entering the swimming program.
Other sports have veteran coaches making strides towards national respect. The women's basketball team brought in its best recruiting class in years. The track team returns 200-meter national champion Leo Bookman, while the soccer and volleyball teams are on the verge of making an NCAA tournament run. The softball team is looking forward to a new playing facility.
Yet the Kansan realizes that readers are also excited about sports in which the participants aren't varsity athletes with K-A-N-S-A-S spelled across their uniform.
Club and intramural sports will grace the pages as well as features, detailing where the students go to play, watch and talk sports.
talk sports. Students at the University are sports fans from all over the world who converge on Lawrence to create a melting pot of interests. This year our staff will do its best to pique those interests with insightful, well-written coverage.

Royals snap two-game losing streak
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Raul Ibanez and Joe Randa hit consecutive home runs in a four-run third inning as Kansas City beat Minnesota 5-4 yesterday to avoid a three-game sweep.
The Royals, who had lost the first two games of the series by lopsided scores, reclaimed a three-game lead over the Twins in the AL Central. Going into their game at Texas last night, the Chicago White Sox were two and a half games behind.
Darrell May (6-6) went six and one third innings for his first victory in six starts. The loser was Rick Reed (5-12), who was charged with five runs on nine hits in three innings.
Curtis Leskanic worked the ninth for his first save since Sept. 23, 2001, when he was with Milwaukee.
The Twins hit three solo home runs.
Luis Rivas, who has hit 10 of his 17 career home runs off the Royals, gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead with a shot in the first. Shannon Stewart homered in the fifth and Matt LeCroy, who replaced an injured Doug Mientkiewicz at first base in the third inning, hit a solo shot off Al Levine in the eighth.
In the Royals' first, Carlos Beltran had an RBI single.
inning, then Beltran followed with a sacrifice fly. Ibanez hit a two-run homer and then two pitches later Randa followed with a shot to left-center for a 5-2 lead.
Angel Berroa and Mike Sweeney singled leading off the Royals' four-run third
It was the first time the Royals hit back-to-back homers since Beltran and Sweeney on April 27 at Toronto.
Darrell May (6-6) went six one third innings for his first victory in six starts. After giving up a leadoff single to Toril Hunter in the seventh and then striking out A.J. Pierzynski, he was replaced by Levine. May was charged with three runs on six hits, with three strikeouts and no walks.
Notes: OF Dustan Mohr was out Sunday after going to the hospital with severe heat cramps on Saturday. The temperature in Kansas City both Saturday and yesterday was around 100. Manager Ron Gardenhire said Mohr had IV's and was not kept in the hospital. ... RHP Runelvys Hernandez, who opened the season 4-0 and keyed Kansas City's surprising surge into first place, was sent down to Double-A Wichita yesterday. GM Allard Baird said they wanted him to work on his pitches and his command. ... Twins 1B Doug Mientwick left the game in the third inning after bruising his left wrist while making a tag. He had two cortisone shots in the wrist on Thursday and missed two games.
For the Kansas football team, improving on last season's conference-worst 256.2 rushing yards allowed per game just got much tougher.
Injury will keep lineman out
The team's top returning defensive lineman, junior tackle Travis Watkins, will miss six to eight weeks after suffering a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
The injury was sustained last Wednesday night during a team scrimmage. Watkins is eyeing the Jayhawks' Oct. 18 meeting with Baylor as a possible comeback. According to Sam Watkins, Travis' father, in
a phone interview, his son knew immediately what the injury was, having previously broken the same bone in his left foot while playing basketball at Derby High School in Derby.
Derby.
Watkins' father said the injury was more devastating for his son because of how hard he had worked this off-season for what he hoped to be a breakthrough season for Kansas football.
"The first 24 hours was pure hell because his dreams are shattered," Sam Watkins said about his son's injury. "After
we talked and had lunch, life is bigger than football."
bigger than luck Sam, Watkins said his son was more confident than ever entering the 2003 campaign, feeling as though he was moving at 295 pounds like he was a slimmer 275.
Watkins is unable to request a medical redshirt from the NCAA, having already used a redshirt his freshman year. In two seasons with the Jayhawks, Watkins has played in 23 games, including 22 starts, and has recorded 75 tackles and two sacks.

K-State AD extends contract
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN - Kansas State and athletics director Tim Weiser have agreed to a five-year contract extension, the school announced Friday.
Weiser, 45, a native of Great Bend, came to Kansas State from Colorado State in May 2001. Since then, the athletics department budget has grown from $27 million to $32 million
The school has also completed its new baseball stadium, renovated its outdoor track, and added 1,500 athletic donors in the last year. Earlier this month, Weiser announced a telecommunications deal with Altel that will bring in more than $1 million over three years.
Twelve of Kansas State's 16 teams qualified for postseason play over the last school year, and although the men's basketball team continued to struggle, its recruiting class is rated among the best in the nation.
"Tim Weiser is clearly one of the most outstanding athletic directors in America today, and we are indeed fortunate to have him heading our athletic program here at K-State for many years to come," school president Jon Wefald said in a statement announcing the extension.
Perkins hires son-in-law
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE - Lew Perkins, in his sixth week as Kansas athletics director, has hired son-in-law Brandon Macneill as the department's strategic planner.
"He's very talented,very bright," Perkins said Thursday. "If he didn't have the background,he wouldn't be here. Trust me."
Macneill, who spent the last two years as associate athletic director for marketing and development at Princeton University, is married to one of Perkins' two daughters.
Perkins, who was named to replace the fired Al Bohl on June 10, acknowledged the hiring will raise some eyebrows.
"Yes, it's unfortunate," Perkins said, "but it's tougher for him than it is for me because the bull's-eye will be on his back."
Macneill, 32, and Amy Perkins met when she was a student at Maryland and he was working in Washington after graduating from Tulane University.
Macneill will join the Kansas staff in early October.
"To go to Kansas is an absolute no-brainer. I couldn't be happier." Macneill said. "I'm a little biased, but I think Lew is the best athletic director in the country."

Chiefs pickup offense to win against Vikings
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The NFL's highest-scoring offense was starting to feel embarrassed.
In two exhibition games covering more than six quarters, the Kansas City offense that led the league in scoring in 2002 had failed to score a touchdown.
But Trent Green and Marc Boeriger took care of that with one quick strike Saturday night, connecting on a 59-yard TD pass in the second quarter of a 26-16 victory over Minnesota.
nesota.
"It's good to get in the end zone, that's for sure," Green said. "We just happened to catch them in the right coverage, and (Boerigter) is not even the primary receiver. Then, of course, his speed
kind of split the safeties. It's just nice to finally get in the end zone."
end zone Todd Collins also threw a TD pass for Kansas City (2-1), and Morten Andersen kicked three field goals and Jose Cortez made one.
The Vikings (0-2) got a 1-yard TD run in the first quarter from rookie Onterrio Smith, who was drafted in the fourth round and is competing with Doug Chapman to be the featured running back.
The Chiefs finally broke the TD drought when Boerigert got loose with 8:38 left in the second quarter.
second quarter. The Canadian Football League veteran, in his second year in the NFL, caught the ball between three defenders at about the 35 and sped untouched into the end zone.
"We just need to keep plugging away," Boeriger said.
"We have two more preseason games to get it right, and we will get it right."
Minnesota cornerback Denard Walker pulled a hamstring on the play and did not return. The Vikings' other starting cornerback, Ken Irvin, has a toe injury and did not make the trip.
Daunte Culpepper played most of the first half for the Vikings and was 8-of-13 for 68 yards, including an 18-yarder. Smith's touchdown came in the first quarter after Dante Hall muffed a punt and Moe Williams recovered for Minnesota on the Kansas City 14.
Chapman picked up 34 yards on six carries while Smith carried four times for a net of 2 yards.
yards.
"It was obvious we have a lot of improving to do," said Smith. "That's just the bottom line right there. The touchdown doesn't feel as good as it would if we had won the game. It's a touchdown. We got to a point where we couldn't complete what we started."
Kansas City running back Priest Holmes, coming back from season-ending hip surgery, got the most carries he's had all summer. He went 41 yards on nine carries, including an 11-yard run and back-to-back 8-yard bursts that seemed to confirm that his hip is near 100 percent.
"Giving (Holmes) more touches allowed him to be more productive," said Green, who was 7-of-13 fir 152 yards. "I thought he broke through and had some nice moves and made some guys miss. Instead of those 2- and 3-yard runs, he was able to pop a couple of 8 and 10-yard runs. It was nice to see him get more involved."
But Holmes also fumbled
and lost 4 yards after the Chiefs had driven to a first-and-goal from the 10 on their first possession. A few minutes later, Andersen kicked a 38-yarder. Anderson also kicked a 21-yarder and added a 42-yarder as time expired in the first half. Cortez, competing with the 43-year-old Andersen for kicking chores, had a 46-yard field goal in the third period. In his first opportunity of the preseason to handle kickoffs, Cortez sent several to the end zone.Aaron Eiling kicked a 48-yard field goal for Minnesota with 1:07 left in the half.
Derrick Blaylock had a good night in his competition with first-round draft pick Larry Johnson for the No.2 running back spot, carrying six times for 48 yards. Johnson had nine carries for 26 yards and also picked up 11 yards on a pass.

Volleyball aims for improvement
Team confronts preseason poll looks to test out its new talent
By Mike Norris
mmorris@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
After coming so close to making the NCAA Tournament last season they could taste it, the University of Kansas Volleyball team is using that as motivation for this year.
Despite a school record of 10 conference wins and 19 total wins, the season ended too early for the Jayhawks.
"We weren't surprised, we knew we were on the bubble," said senior outside hitter Sarah Rome. "But it hurt a lot."
Sophomore middle blocker Josi Lima was also disappointed with last season's outcome.
"It was very frustrating," she said. "When you work so hard, you expect to win."
The team's sixth place finish in the conference last season was followed with a ranking of sixth in this year's Big 12 coaches preseason poll. Rome knows that won't work this year.
"Sixth isn't good enough," she said.
Head Coach Ray Bechard said with all the transfers and new players in the conference, it's hard to tell how accurate
the noll will be.
"I think more than anything [the rankings] are more of just a reflection of last year," he said.
Nebraska, who has won six of the seven Big 12 conference titles, is the Jayhawk's biggest target, but the team knows a victory against any Big 12 team is important.
Lima said the team has a good chance of being better than last year.
"We are very young, but we have more talent and are very athletic," she said.
One of those young, talented players is freshman outside hitter Janaina Correa from Sao Paulo, Brazil, the same town that produced Lima.
"She's going to be a stud," said Rome.
The team will have the opportunity to test out their new talent Aug. 29 when they take on Western Kentucky in the Northern Illinois Tournament in Dekalb, Ill.
Lima knows the tournament marks the start of their quest toward an NCAA Tournament appearance.
"We are going to work twice as hard," she said. "We don't want that same feeling."
I'll just use a simple representation of the image as it appears.

West Virginia women's volleyball team has high expectations
By Dylan Sacchetti
The Daily Athenaeum via U-WIRE
West Virginia University
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Starting her 29th season as head coach of the volleyball team at West Virginia University, Veronica Hammersmith has been through both the highs and lows that come with athletics.
Just three victories shy of 500 for her career, Hammersmith is focused on getting the team back on the winning track. She nonchalantly calls the 500-win mark "a nice thing."
An offseason in which the team worked hard to improve should lay the foundation for a turnaround from a 9-19 (3-10 Big East) record.
"The offseason went well. We are going to be a lot stronger and quicker," Hammersmith said.
The team will look to its three seniors — Dimitra Havriluk, Jennifer Hayhurst and Kristy King — to provide the leadership for the team. "By the fourth year, they have a good understanding of what we need done." Hammersmith said of her three seniors.
With most of the starters back from last year's team, Hammersmith is looking for some players to really step up.
"Sophomoe" Stephanie Zolna improved a lot over the spring and should be a force on offense. Junior Alison Zemanski will be solid in the middle. Dimitra does a lot for us on Dinitra.

The Big East is shaping up to be among the best in the nation again this year, giving the Mountaineers no easy games.
"The conference should be pretty tough," Hammersmith said.
"All 12 teams should be pretty good. We won't be allowed to have any off nights. We have got a tough preseason schedule to help us prepare for the Big East."
With the abundance of talent back this season, Hammersmith is optimistic going into the season.
"We are very positive going
into the year. We are looking to do better than last year. We think 15 or 16 wins should be attainable, which should get us right in the middle of the conference race," the veteran coach said.
The season gets under way Aug. 29 when the team heads west for a matchup with Sacramento State in Los Angeles.
Following that, the Mountaineers will play Loyola Marymount Aug. 30 at the Gersten Pavilion

Visiting the past of the fieldhouse
By Joey Berlin and Stephanie Horner jberlin@kansan.com Kansan sportswriters
Courtesy University Archiv
Allen Fieldhouse isn't just the home of University of Kansas basketball. The old, dark brown-orange gymnasium, sitting on Naismith Drive in Lawrence, is a basketball palace crammed with memories, adorned with banners, trophies and retired jerseys immortalizing those memories. A cramped cluster of of 16,300 seats sit below a ceiling sign bearing a curious phrase to the uninitiated:
"Pay Heed, All Who Enter,
Beware of the Phog."
Workers build the court of Allen Fieldhouse. Under construction in 1954, the fieldhouse cost $2.65 million and seated 17,000
No one holds more memories of the fieldhouse than Max Falkenstein, who has been broadcasting Jayhawk basketball games on radio since 1946. Falkenstein is an icon of the historic gym who actually predates the building itself. As such, he has an appreciation for what the fieldhouse has meant to Kansas basketball.
“It's old,” Falkenstein said. “But it has a certain ambience. A smell, feel and sound that no other arena I've been in can match.”
In the mid-1950's, Kansas coach Forrest "Phog" Allen campaigned for a new gymnasium to replace the cramped confines at Hoch Auditorium, commonly known as "Horrendous Hoch."
The University made plans to construct a $2.65-million facility that would seat nearly 17,000 making it the second largest college basketball venue in the country at the time.
As construction on the new fieldhouse continued through 1954, a debate took place on what to call the facility. Many thought the University should name the building after Allen, who had won more than 500

games and the 1952 national championship. Others thought James Naismith, the inventor of basketball and Kansas' first coach was a better choice. Some even suggested a hyphenated name honoring both. In December 1954, Kansas Chancellor Franklin Murphy decided the new gym would be named after Allen.
The fieldhouse opened its doors for the first time on March 1, 1955, when the Jayhawks hosted Kansas State. As 17,228 fans — still a fieldhouse record
— watched the Jayhawks beat the Wildcats 77-67. Allen, knowing he would be honored at halftime of the game, turned coaching duties over to assistant Dick Harp. During the 35-minute halftime ceremony, Allen received the keys to a new Cadillac.
The following fall, the fieldhouse's first superstar, Wilt Chamberlain, arrived on campus. Chamberlain couldn't play until the 1956-57 season, because at the time the NCAA did not allow freshmen to play varsity. But the 7-foot African-American from Philadelphia made a big impression on a predominantly white student body. Pete Anderson, a Kansas yell leader during Chamberlain's years with the Jayhawks, recalls how the man known as the "Big Dipper" stood out.
"I remember how big he was going across campus." Anderson
said. "Here was this big black man, head and shoulders above everybody else, and you could see him coming. It was awesome."
Chamberlain's fieldhouse debut against Northwestern on Dec. 3, 1956, was a spectacle no one in attendance would forget. Standing several inches over the tallest Northwestern defenders, Chamberlain scored a Kansas record 52 points, many on dunks, as the Jayhawks cruised to victory.
"I remember he completely dominated the game." Falkenstein said. "We were saying 'Who is this monster, and what is he going to do to the game of basketball?' He just completely changed the way teams tried to play defense."
The 1956-57 team, coached by Harp after Allen's retirement, was the first of 17 conference
champions and nine Final Four teams to play in the fieldhouse. Ted Owens, Larry Brown and Roy Williams each coached the Jayhawks to at least two Final Fours during a 32-year period, beginning with the 1970-71 team.
The 1987-88 Jayhawks, coached by Brown and led by Kansas all-time leading scorer Danny Manning, are usually remembered for their improbable run to the NCAA tournament championship.
But it was that season's Senior Night, the Jayhawks final home game of the year, that gave Falkenstein one of his most enduring fieldhouse memories. Guard Archie Marshall, despite an injured knee, was hoping to get into just one more game as Kansas took on Oklahoma State.
"He was suited up, there was
no way he could play." Falken-
stein said.
Near the end of the game, coach Larry Brown inserted Marshall into the lineup. Emotion boiled over in the crowd and on the bench. Oklahoma State coach Leonard Hamilton told his players to pull back and let Marshall take a final shot.
"They passed to Archie, and he tried to hit a shot from the side, which would have brought the house down," Falkenstein said. "But unfortunately, he couldn't make it."
Senior Nights are typically emotional. This year was no exception, as two of Kansas' greatest four-year players ever, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, became choked up as they addressed the crowd after the game.
"Both Nick and Kirk told me this year, I'm not going to cry out
there," Falkenstein said. "And they both did."
Among memorable games at the fieldhouse, Falkenstein also fondly recalls Kansas' meeting with fellow basketball powerhouse Indiana on Dec. 22, 1993. Point guard Jacque Vaughn, then a heralded freshman, knocked a guarded three-pointer with 0.2 seconds remaining to give Kansas an 86-83 win over the Hoosiers.
Kansas basketball begins new era this fall, with Bill Self taking over for Williams as coach. But as Self tries to create his own niche in Kansas basketball history, he'll be surrounded by reminders of what came before him, in an old gym that continues to push forward and keep its reputation as one of college basketball's lasting gems.

Baseball players return, get ready for upcoming season challenges

The 2002 season was a historical one for the Jayhawk baseball team. First-year coach Ritch Price led the team to its third-best season ever, with 35 wins and its first trip to the Big 12 Tournament.
But while the team exceeded public expectations, it didn't come as a shock to senior first baseman Ryan Baty.
baseball player asked, "We knew we were good," Baty said. "We had a great ball club, and we are going to be better."
One reason could be Baty himself and outfielder Matt Tribble, who will both be back for their senior seasons. Both were expected to be taken in this summer's Major League Draft but instead will be suiting up in Crimson and blue this spring. The Colorado Rockies called Baty and asked if he would sign if they took him in the 12th round.
Jayhawk stand-outs Ryan Baty and teammate Travis Metcalf both turned down Major League offers to return to the University of Kansas this fall. First baseman Baty, pictured, was an All-Star in the Cape Cod League during the summer and set the University record last year for most base hits with 97.
"Before the draft I thought I might go somewhere between the sixth and the 10th (rounds)," he said. "I decided if it was after (the 10th round), I wouldn't sign, no matter what."
Tribble, who was taken in the 15th round out of high school, was told by the Chicago White Sox he was in their plans. However, they didn't select him, and now he returns to Lawrence.
Tribble was disappointed. "I was ready to go; I wanted to
sign." he said.
sign, he said.
But now Tribble turns his focus back to the Jayhawks and isn't thinking about the draft until next year.

When Price first heard the news that Tribble and Baty would be back this year, he couldn't believe it. "In college baseball the hardest thing to deal with is the draft. I expected to lose both," he said.

He also almost lost sophomore third baseman Travis Metcalf, who was taken in the 38th round by the Minnesota Twins. But he turned them down and returns after 11 home run, 44 RBI campaign in 2002.

This year Price knows more of what to expect from the rest of the Big 12, and has had a year to learn about his players.
"You never know when you take over, the mental make-up of

Owners still waiting on Expos decision
BOSTON — Two months to go in the season and baseball owners still don't know what to do with the Montreal Expos.
At their meeting Wednesday, owners remained hopeful that they can make progress on the Expos by Labor Day.
The Associated Press
"The longer we go, the harder it becomes," said Bob DuPuy, baseball's president and chief operating officer said after the first of two days of meetings. "But we have not given up the idea of a permanent solution for next year."
After the meetings were done for the day, DuPuy stumbled on the stairs at the Ritz Carlton Hotel
and wrenched his right knee. He stayed on the stairs for several minutes, grimacing in pain, before he was taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth's Hospital.
Elizabeth A Hospice
DuPuy did not address the Pete Rose situation. A day earlier,
DuPuy strongly denied an Internet report that an agreement had been reached to let Rose back into
baseball.
The Expos were purchased by the other 29 teams as they struggle to stay afloat in Montreal. They played 22 games in Puerto Rico this year, and San Juan has offered to host all of the team's 81 home games next year. A group in Monterrey, Mexico, also put in a bid to hold the game.
Police: Williams note may be fake
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Investigators are examining whether a note stating baseball slugger Ted Williams wanted to be frozen after his death was forged, and if so, whether a crime was committed, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
The grease-stained note is signed by Williams, his son, John Henry Williams, and his daughter, Claudia Williams. Its origin is being examined by the State Attorney's Office that covers Citrus County, where Williams lived, said Ric Ridgway, chief assistant state attorney in Ocala.
His office will decide whether to do nothing or pursue a full criminal investigation.
The inquiry is the result of a criminal complaint made last year by the husband of Williams' eldest daughter and renewed after Sports Illustrated reported new details on the state of Williams' body.
"I'm trying to clarify what the allegation was, if the note was signed the way the note was presented it was signed, and how the note was used," Ridgway said.

Bobby-Jo Williams Ferrell challenged the decision to send her father's body to an Arizona cryonics company where it was frozen after his July 5, 2002 death, claiming the slugger's 1996 will made clear he wanted to be cremated and his ashes scattered off the Florida coast.
After running out of money to pay her legal bills, she dropped the challenge in December and reached a settlement with her siblings.
Her husband, Mark Ferrell,

rilgsaid. Ridgway said even if it's determined the note was forged, it doesn't necessarily mean a crime was committed since the law is very specific about what documents must be forged for the act to be criminal.
John Henry Williams' attorney has said his client left the note for an extended period of time in some files in his car trunk, where it was stained by oil or grease. Neither he nor his attorney, Eric Abel, returned phone messages Wednesday.
Claudia Williams has an unlisted number and could not be reached for comment.
Sports Illustrated reported this week that Ted Williams was decapitated by surgeons at the cryonics company where his body is suspended in liquid nitrogen, and several samples of his DNA are missing.
The magazine's report, appearing in the issue that hit newsstands Wednesday, is based on internal documents, e-mails, photographs and tape recordings supplied by a former employee of Alcor Life Extension Foundation.

Men's cross country team runs with nationals in mind
By Sean O'Grady
Kansan Staff Writer
sogrady@kansan.com
The Kansas men's cross country team has one goal in mind for their 2003 season: to run at the NCAA Championships in Cedar Falls, Iowa, on Nov. 24.
Four of the top five runners from last year's district championships will return. Mark Menefee, the Jayhawks' top scorer and lone NCAA qualifier, graduated last spring. However, freshman Benson Chesang, a mid-year addition last year and outdoor 10.000 meter conference champion, is poised to take Menefee's spot.
"We have basically the whole team back this year," assistant coach Doug Clark said. "As long
as we stay focused and healthy, we could be the most improved team in the conference and maybe the region."
Staying healthy will be the key to a successful season. Steve Vockrodt, senior, and Chris Jones, junior, missed last year's indoor and outdoor seasons recovering from injuries sustained in the fall.
Vockrodt told former KU teammate and All-American Charlie Gruber gave him a motto to train by this summer: "We don't want September heroes and November zeroes."
Vockrodt and the team will train through the first part of the season in order to be in their best shape when it comes time to qualify for the NCAA Championships
Jones said the team's depth made it hard to say who could be running at the championship meets.
at the championship.
"We have a lot of good guys who can contribute. There also could be a freshman that comes in and makes an immediate impact," he said. "It'll be really competitive and will just help the team."
"We can't rely on Benson or Chris Jones to take us to nationals."
John DiCalogiero, junior, said. "The seventh man has to run just as hard as the first man. Qualifying for nationals is a total team effort."
The layhawk begin the journey to an NCAA berth on Sept. 6 at their home course, Rim Rock Farm, for the Bob Timmons Invitational.
Kansas' Leo Bookman (middle) ran the Men's 200 meter in a time of 20.47 to win the event on June 14, the last day of the NCAA Division 1 2003 Outdoor Track & Field Championship at the Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex in Sacramento, Calif. He finished ahead of Houston's Stanford Routt (left) and Christopher Lambert of Harvard (right).

Peters, Bookman strive for the gold
By Saju Ng'alla
sngella@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Two athletes from the University of Kansas track team say they have a good chance of competing in the 2004 Olympics.
Monique Peters, Champs Fleurs, Trinidad, senior, is currently the second-ranked female long jumper in her native country. Leo Bookman, Dickinson, Texas, junior, won the NCAA Outdoor and Indoor 200-meter dash competitions in the middle of June. The two track stars have larger aspirations than just competing for the University.
When Peters was 7, she was not daydreaming about palm-lined beaches, lush rain forests or pristine coral reefs. She dream of representing her island in the Olympics.
Earlier this summer, Peters traveled back to Trinidad to compete in the national track championships and won the long jump competition.
"The jumping conditions were not ideal," Peters said. "But with the people and the island atmosphere, I enjoyed competing there."
For winning the long jump, Peters received a gold medal and inched closer to her life-long
dream of representing Trinidad in the Olympics.
Bookman's possible journey to the Olympics began in June when he decided to leave the football team to focus on track.
He said he noticed a magazine that previewed the NCAA football season at the airport getting ready to go to the USA Outdoor
Track and Field Championships in Palo Alto, Calif. He said his name was not even mentioned.
"I said, 'Forget KU football.' I felt like it was pointless since I was not getting the respect I deserved." Bookman said.
The following day, Bookman called a press conference and announced his decision to leave
the football team.
Bookman said his chance of competing in the Olympics was strong.
"I just need to shave three- tenths of a second off my time and I will be in the running to make the Olympic team," he said.

Women runners focus on season
By Sean O'Grady
sogrady@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas women's cross country team will rely on a mix of veterans and freshmen this season to improve upon last year.
The 'Hawks return three seniors, four juniors and three freshmen from last year's squad, which finished sixth at the Big 12 Championships.
"We have our top five runners back from last season," assistant coach Doug Clark said. "This is one of the deepest teams we've had."
Senior Paige Higgins said the team's goal of qualifying for the NCAA Championships was within reach because of the returning talent.
"Last year's freshmen are now stronger and had an entire year to learn what it's all about," she said. "Laura (Lavoe), Lauren (Brownrigg), and I are all seniors now. It's our last shot to do something."
Sophomore Jenna Bimbi said the leadership of the three seniors was the team's strongest quality.
"They are so dedicated. We

learn so much from the way they train and race," she said.
Joining this year's team are six freshmen who all could make an immediate impact on the team.
They include Laura Major and Melissa O'Rourke, both of Jenks High School in Tulsa, Okla. The tandem helped win the distance medley relay title at the 2003 Kansas Relays.
Missouri 4A state champion Jessie Violand, and Beth Eisenmenger, sister of former KU AllAmerican, Katy Eisenmenger, could also compete for a varsity spot.
The Jayhawks get their first chance to race Sept. 7 at their home course for the Bob Timmons Invitational.

'Huskers offensive lineman to be sentenced on battery charge
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Suspended Nebraska offensive lineman Junior Tagoa'i was fined $350 Friday for a two-year-old charge of disturbing the peace.
He also is scheduled to be sentenced next Friday in Lancaster
while in court.
County Court on an assault charge for hitting his former girlfriend while she was holding their child. He pleaded no contest to that charge last month.
Also next Friday, he will face a hearing on a contempt charge filed after he allegedly made an obscene gesture in the direction of a judge
'Huskers head coach Frank Solich has said he wouldn't comment on the senior's status with the team until after he had been sentenced on all the charges.
Tagoa'i, a Hanuula, Hawaii native was listed No.1 at rightguard on the Cornhuskers' depth chart
following spring practice. Because of his suspension, Tagoa'a was not allowed to report to preseason camp, which started Aug. 5.
He is not listed on the depth chart that was released before the start of fall camp and he is not included in the Husker media guide.
Tagoa'a told Lancaster County
Judge Gale Pokorny on Friday that he was taking anger management classes to recognize his problems and work them out.
He could have received up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine.
The charge stemmed from an incident in October 2001 involving a fight with his girlfriend. Two
months later, records indicate the woman give birth to his daughter.
Tagooai was originally charged with misdemeanor assault. He agreed to a pretrial diversion program and the charge was dropped. The charge was refilled a year later after he failed to verify completion of the program.

Kansas football readies for nonconference match-ups
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan sports writer
When Mark Mangino, Kansas football coach, looks at Northwestern's sideline on Aug. 30, he may think he's looking into a mirror.
No, the Wildcats didn't adopt new navy blue jerseys, but the talent beneath is almost identical to that of the Jayhawks.
Fresh off disappointing seasons, the Wildcats (3-9 in 2002) and Jayhawks (2-10) both are picked by most preseason annals to finish last in their conferences. Both are expected to have decent seasons and are considered a year away from really competing.
The Wildcats have an offense lead by strong-armed second-year quarterback Brett Basanez
and a steady running back in Jason Wright. Wright is also considered one of the nation's top return specialists. The main weakness of the offense is the line, where two three-year starters graduated. They lost their star defensive player Pat Durr to a knee injury in the first game of the season last year.

Second-year man Bill Whitte-

attack with help from versatile
running back Clark Green. Greg
Heaggans is considered one of
the top returning men in the
nation while the offensive line is
a concern. Banks Floodman,
Kansas's main defensive stud at

Mark Mangino
Kansas football coach, discussing
the Aug. 30 game against Northwestern
the Wildcats's coach should be challenging.
"The Northwestern game was put in place before I came to Kansas," Mangino said. "We know that this is going to be Randy Walker's best club since he has been there. It's going to be a good match-up."
The game is a major momentum boost for the winner, and the scoreboard numbers should be spinning at Memorial Stadium
- neither team has much of a defense. Whittimore said a
"It's important," Whittemore said. "We weren't really all that successful in non-conference last year, so it would be great to start the year off with some confidence."

dence.
Kansas's next opponent is UNLV. While Kansas lost to the Runnin' Rebels last year, there is cause for hope. Jason Thomas and Joe Haro, the two stars who combined to beat the Jajhawks are both graduated. The duo combined for 179 yards rushing three touchdowns in Las Vegas last year. They do return talented senior running back Larry Croom and Earvin Johnson at wide receiver.
While the offense figures to slow down a bit, the defense should be improved, with honors candidates Adam Seward at linebacker and Jamal Brimmer at strong safety. The Sporting News predicted Brimmer to be the Mountain West player of the year.
Playing at Wyoming is the lone nonconference road game on the schedule. While Wyoming has been perennially bad with five victories in the last three seasons, this year's team blends returning talent with a new coach. Joe Glenn takes over for a school with skill in all the right places. He returns an excellent quaterback, Casey Bramlet, and two good wide receivers in Ryan McGuffey and Jovon Bouknight. If Bramlet was in somewhere other than Laramie, Wyo., you probably would have heard about him by now. Both he and Bouknight are All-Mountain
West candidates.
Like most Mountain West teams, Wyoming does not play much defense, but Blenn is a defensive mastermind. He will try to rebuild the Cowboys defense by utilizing linebackers Guy Tueli and Tyler Gottschalk and aggressive blitzing. Glenn used a lot of zone blitzing before he came to Wyoming.
Jacksonville State is the one victory written into the schedule. An NCAA Division 1-AA team, they will find it difficult to win against a Division 1 team from a power conference at home. If the Jayhawks can take all of their nonconference games, they should be riding high for their first conference game, Missouri at Memorial Stadium, just two victories away from bowl contention.
Receivers prepare for football season
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Roy Williams has few doubts about who is the best football player in the Big 12.
Most draft experts and college football analysts say Williams — the Texas Longhorns receiver, not the former Kansas coach — is the best player in the nation, and he certainly has the skills to live up to the Texas-sized hype.
Williams is 6-foot-4 and the fastest receiver in the Big 12. He had 64 catches for 1142 yards and 12 touchdowns. Williams dominated a Cotton Bowl to end his junior year and turned down the opportunity to be a top-five NFL draft pick to come back for his senior year.
But is he the best player in the nation? According to Williams, he's not even the best player at his position in his own conference.
"Rashaun Woods is probably
the best receiver in the Big 12," Williams said. "When the ball's in the air, he's going to come down with it."
By the numbers, there is no better returning receiver in the nation than Oklahoma State's Woods.
Woods snatched 107 balls for 1,695 yards and 17 touchdowns, shattering Big 12 records. He torched Oklahoma's vaunted defense for 12 catches for 226 yards and 3 touchdowns.
"As a receiver I watch all receivers and try to learn as much as I can from any receiver," Woods said. "I watch him and I admire the way he plays, and if you can do that, you can become successful."
Woods said he also follows Williams when he plays.
Another receiver that Woods admires is Lane Danielson of Iowa State. Danielson had 63 catches for 1,073 yards last year. At 6 feet tall and 192 pounds,
Wes Welker, Texas Tech A great return man, Welker was third in the conference in all-purpose yards, including 86 catches for 1,054 yards.
Big 12 receivers to watch out for
averaging 20 yards per catch last season. He will probably add to his 2002 totals of 28 catches for 561 yards.
Jamear Taylor, Texas A&M Taylor grabbed 44 catches for 760 yards as the No.2 option in the offense. With two great quarterbacks, look for Taylor to break 1,000 yards this season.
James Terry, Kansas State Terry led the Big 12 by
B. J. Johnson, Texas While he is in Williams's extra large shadow, Johnson is talented and would be first-team all conference almost anywhere else.
Darius Outlaw, Missouri Missouri quarterback Brad Smith finds a No.1 receiver and gets him the ball. This year, the man is Outlaw, who will likely improve on his 46 catches from last year.
Danielson is less physically imposing than many of his Big 12 counterparts, but his quick routes create separation. Danielson's emergence was a large reason why Seneca Wallace started out so hot last season.
This year, without a proven quarterback, the numbers could drop, but his effectiveness won't.
All three receivers are seniors who want to prove themselves before moving on to the next level—the NFL.
Quarterbacks ready to play in spotlight
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Matt Leinart is ready to step in at Southern California. The same goes for Brock Berlin at Miami, and Chance Mock at Texas.
Who are these guys? They're the starting quarterbacks at their respective schools entering the 2003 season, replacing a trio of standout signal-callers who manned the position with excellence in recent years.
Whether or not Leinart, Berlin, and Mock can do the job will soon be known.
A sophomore, Leinart succeeds Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer. The first pass Leinart throws Aug. 30 in the season-opener at Auburn will be the first of his career.
"I've sat the last two years behind Carson — it's finally my turn to step in there and fill his shoes," said Leinart.
Berlin, a junior, didn't play last season after transferring from Florida to Miami. He follows Ken Dorsey.
Mock, a junior who has thrown nine passes in his career, steps in for Chris Simms.
"He's learned from (Major) Applewhite," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "He's learned from Chris. He understands the pressure of this position at this school."
Leinart said he understands the pressure, too. And he learned a lot just by watching Palmer, especially in terms of leadership.
"It was his presence and how he carried himself," Leinart said. "Our personalities are very similar, more a leader by example than a rah-rah guy. There's always pressure. You can't really think about it. I'm going to make mistakes, you've got to bounce back from that."

New coaches to lead'Hawks
By Chris Wintering
cwintering@kansan.com
Kansas Sportswriter
When Roy Williams took that powder blue jet to Chapel Hill, N.C., he wasn't alone. He also took almost his entire coaching staff with him.
Last year's assistants Steve Robinson, Joe Holladay, C.B. Grath and Jerod Haase all joined Williams at North Carolina. That leaves Ben Miller as the only member of Williams' staff staying at Kansas.
Miller is now the team's director of basketball operations. Director of Media Relations Mitch Germann said Miller's job would include some of Haase's former duties. It may also include assisting in scheduling, recruiting and traveling. However, Miller will no longer be on the bench as he was last season.
Roberts
Jankovich
Mike Hirschfeld
Joining Miller on the staff will be associate coach Norm Roberts, and assistant coaches Tim Jankovich and Joe Dooley. Dooley was the final coach added to the staff on June 27.
B. M. KEENEY
In a press release following Dooley's hiring, Self was excited about finalizing his staff.
"I'm confident that we'll have as high a quality a staff as anyone in the country." Self said.
According to Germann, the team might hire one more graduate assistant to join Sean Harrington, who was added to the
Dooley
staff this summer.
Harrington played for Self at Illinois and will serve a similar role as McGrath did in the past.
Norm Roberts
NEW ASSIS
TANTS
Robertts worked with Self at Illinois, Tulsa and Oral Roberts.
He has a reputation of being a strong recruiter and helped Illinois land a top-10 recruiting class in 2002.
Roberts played and coached at Queens College where he is the school's second all-time leading scorer.
He also coached NBA player Kenny Anderson while working at Archbishop Malloy High School in New York City.
Tim Jankovich
Before working at Illinois last year, Jankovich was an assistant coach at Vanderbilt. There, he worked under former Kansas assistant coach Kevin Stallings.
Jankovich was a four-year starter at Kansas State as a point guard. He was a three-time Academic All-American at Kansas State University and a Rhodes scholar candidate.
Joe Dooley
Dooley spent last year as an assistant coach at Wyoming. His team visited Allen Fieldhouse to play the Jayhawks in a regular season game Jan. 15. Kansas won the game 98-70.
Women's basketball ready for tip-off
Dooley has also been an assistant at New Mexico and South Carolina. He was head coach at East Carolina from 1995-1999.

While coach Marian Washington called last year a season of promise, this could be a season of production for a young women's Jayhawk basketball team.
Kansas suffered some growing pains early in 2002, as nine newcomers were brought in to replace five departed seniors.
This year, however, Washington returns all five starters from a squad which finished ninth in the Big 12 Conference with an 11-18 overall record. The team notched three Big 12 victories after none the previous year and took some momentum into the season after defeating Iowa State in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament.
Among the returners are the inside duo of Tamara Ransburg
and Crystal Kemp.
The sophomore forwards both averaged just below 11 points a game last year to lead the women Jayhawks, with Ransburg step.
PENNIE BAY
Washington
ping in as the emotional leader on the team.
Aquanita Burras (10.5 points per game) gives Kansas a scoring threat from the perimeter, while Blair Waltz (7.5 ppg) and Leila Menguc (2.7 ppg) round out the starting lineup.
In addition, Erica Hallman (7.8 ppg) and Alicia Rhymes, who did not play, return healthy from knee injuries that set them back last year, with Nichelle Roberts (3.4 ppg) coming back as a force off the bench for Kansas.
"We've found some very strong,very motivated individuals who have the ability and the desire to help Kansas get back to the level that it was for so many years."
Marian Washington women's basketball coach
A highly-touted group of newcomers will also help the Jayhawks.
Sharita Smith, a Street & Smith magazine All-American, and Lauren Ervin, a McDonald's High-School All-American, both signed with the University of Kansas last fall. They join the spring signees — forward Kandis
Bonner, guard Kaylee Brown,
guard Syretta Coleman and
forward LaRisha Graves — to give Kansas six new faces on the roster.
"We feel we have taken a strong step as we work to reestablish our proud women's basketball tradition at KU with the signing of these four young women, in addition to early signing class," Washington said. "We've found some very strong, very motivated individuals who have the ability and the desire to help Kansas get back to the level that it was for so many years."
The team will need the added depth, as six players from last year's roster are no longer with the team.
Washington enters her 31st season as coach of the women Jayhawks with an overall record of 551-347.

The Big 12 is one of the toughest football conferences in the nation every year, and this year appears to be no different. Three of the top five teams in the nation according to the USA Today/ ESPN Coaches Poll are from the Big 12, and there may not be a conference as deep from top to bottom. Every team besides Baylor is capable of winning six games, so here are my rankings from No.1 through No.12.
Oklahoma is arguably the most talented team in the nation. A stable of running backs led by Kejuan Jones and Renaldo Works and a crew of speedy receivers should make oft-injured quarterback Jason White's job a lot easier. The offensive line, coach Bob Stoops said, is the best he's ever had. The defense is the best in the nation, after allowing only 15.4 points per game last season. Defensive lineman Tommie

same last season. Defensive infielman Tommy Harris was an All-American last year despite nagging injuries and constant double teams.The Associated Press tabbed linebacker Teddy Lehman as its preseason Big 12 defensive player of the year and strong safety Donte Nicholson as the newcomer. Speed and skill abound at every position.
2) Texas — 2002 Record: 11-2 (6-2)
The Longhorns have a fantastic receiving corps, featuring Heisman Trophy candidate Roy Williams, who averaged almost 18 yards per catch, and a strong running game led by 1,000-yard rusher Cedric Benson. That will make replacing
TIERROE
the departed Chris Simms with new quarterback Chance Mock less of a problem. The defensive line is stout. Cornerback/ returner Nathan Vasher and linebacker Derrick Johnson, who recorded 120 tackles and four interceptions last season, are among the nation's best.
3) Kansas State — 2002 Record:11-2 (6-2)
Last season shifty Darren Sproles led the 'Cat's running game with 18 touchdowns and an average of more than 6 yards per carry. It proved to be the perfect compliment to quarterback Ell Roberson and makes this explosive enough to beat 90 percent of the
C
teams they are playing this year. For the other 10 percent, Roberson must prove his throwing has improved. The defense returns playmakers Andrew Shull at defensive end, Josh Buhl at linebacker and Rashad Washington at safety. Look for junior college transfer Marvin Simmons to make an immediate impact at linebacker. They will go as far as Robertson can throw 'em.
4) Oklahoma State — 2002 Record: 8-5 (5-3) Rashaun Woods is the best player in the Big 12, the preseason player of the year. The senior wide receiver caught almost 1,700 yards worth of passes last season, but he's also made a name for himself catching bass. Quarterback Josh Fields and running
back Tatum Bell round out the Big 12's most potent offense. The defense must recover from losing Kevin Williams at defensive tackle, but looks to improve from last year when they were inconsistent at best.

5) Colorado — zuzu record: 9-5 (7-1)
Brian Calhoun, the next great Buffalo running back, will split carries with Bobby Purify this year. Both have 1,500 yard potential. Purify showed his in a 174-yard rushing performance against Iowa State in relief of injured starter Chris Brown.
Calhoun logged 137 yards the next week against Nebraska. Quarterback is a mystery, but it has been the last few years, so the Buffs are in a familiar situation. The wide receivers are great and the defense looks to pack a wallop. Safety Medford Moorer had 107 tackles to go along with four interceptions last season, which places him among the country's top defensive backs.

5) Texas A&M — 2002 Record: 6-6 (3-5)
The deepest position is quarterback. Reggie McNeal is a fast, strong-armed sophomore who led the Aggies to an upset win over No.

Sooner linebacker Teddy Lehman said Missouri quarterback Brad Smith was a fantastic football player following the Tigers' niger-upset of OU in Columbia. "He can beat you on any play," Lehman said. "But he has the ball in his hands every play. It's scary." The numbers back that up. Last season Smith became the second quarterback in NCAA history to pass for 2,000 yards and run for another 1,000. The Tigers will have to follow Smith and a strong offensive line, strong point.
and almost 210 passing yards per game. Whoever new coach Dennis Franchione picks will be blessed with a talented running back in Derek Farmer and a nice group of receivers to throw to. The defense, like most Aggie defenses, is fast and will make big plays. They will have to be more consistent to move up the ladder.

yards and run for another 1,000. The tigers will have to follow Smith and a strong offensive line, as the defense is not a strong point.
8) Nebraska — 2002 Record: 7-7 (3-5)
These are not the 'Huskers of the mid-
1990s. A defensive lack of speed and a nonexistent offense will knock Nebraska down the totem pole yet again. David Horne is the explosive I-back the Huskers have been waiting for, but Jamaal Lord is a question mark at quarterback, where he completed only 46 percent of his passes last season. If the team passes as much this year as they insist, look for Nebraska t down this list.
Hawkers
9) Texas Tech — 2002 Record: 9-5(5-3)
The Red Raiders will win because their offensive system is so tough to prepare for.
The receivers all return, led by do-everything Wes Welker. B.J. Symons is not bad at quarterback, but he's no Kliff Kingsbury, who averaged more than 358 passing yards per game last season. The defense will again let people score at will.

10) Kansas — 2002 Record: 2-10 (0-8)
Bigger, stronger and faster, this team shows the confidence that it will compete in the Big 12. They will compete, but will they win? Bill Whittmore has looked strong and the receivers are a level up from last year, when he threw for 11 touchdowns and ran for 11 more. The lines on both sides will be better, although the defense will miss the
KU
injured Travis Watkins for the next few weeks. The linebackers will be solid, but if the defensive backs can't stop anyone again, it could be a long year.
11) Iowa State — 2002 Record: 7-7 (4-4)
This is the best defense Dan McCartney has had in his years of coaching at Iowa State, coming off a season in which ISU finished fifth in the conference in total defense.
The group is led by defensive tackles Jordan Carstens and Nick Leader with solid veterans like safety Jamaise Billups and linebacker Brandon Brown rounding
IOWA STATE
CYCLONES
backer Brandon Brown rounding out the defense. The offense is heavy on running backs and receivers but low on quarterbacks. That should change this team back to the Cyclones of the '90s who were great running teams that couldn't win.
12) Baylor — 2002 Record:3-9(1-7 New coach Guy Morris has experience working in situations just like this one. Morriss took over a depleted and probation-bound Kentucky program and turned it into an SEC contender in two years. But it will still take a few years to get on track at Baylor, if ever.

Athletics staff welcomes two,says goodbye to one

During the summer, the Athletics Department lost two loyal Jayhawks and gained a Huskie from Connecticut.
from Concord Janelle Martin and Richard Konzem announced their resignation after a combined 37 years of service to the University of Kansas, and Jim Marchiony joined the athletics department staff for a return to the state of Kansas.
Martin, associate director for
compliance and senior women's administration, took administrative leave on July 20 and will officially leave the athletic department on Sept. 30. After over 15 years in service within the department and the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation, Martin decided to explore other career options.
"I want to express my admiration for the coaching staffs and student-athletes with whom I have worked during the last 15 years at KU for their efforts in competition and in the classroom," Martin said in a statement. "I wish them much success."
On August 6, Konzem left his position as senior associate director after 22 years of involvement in University athletics. A Kansas graduate, Konzem spent his entire career at the University. He started as a student manager and worked in nearly every other capacity all the way up to interim athletics director. He also was a candidate for athletics director.

Leaving the department was a difficult decision, he said, but it was important to him to seek other career opportunities in accomplishing his career goals.
Konzem said he was applying
for the athletics director position at a West Coast school but will be a special assistant to Lew Perkins, athletics director, and continue to work on completing the men's basketball schedule for the upcoming season.
Marchiony comes to the department as associate director for External Affairs.
Marchiony left the University of Connecticut, also a former home to Perkins, where he was the associate athletics director for External Affairs since April 2002. Before his stay in Connecticut, Marchiony worked for
more than 17 years at the NCAA, serving the last five years as the media coordinator for the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.
Marchiony will concentrate on new avenues to create revenue for the department through fundraising and private donations.

Collison, Brown and other athletes recall how they survived blackout
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Too hot upstairs, too dark outside. So Vincent Carter walked into the lobby of his hotel, where a half-dozen of his Olympic teammates were chatting and playing cards.
Who should walk in at that very moment? None other than incoming NBA rookie LeBron James, the most hyped prep player in the history of basketball.

"I have no idea what he was doing there," Carter said, referring to James—who has no connection with the U.S. team.

Everyone had a story to tell Friday about surviving the blackout of 2003, and the surprise appearance of James was only one of the tales related by members of the U.S. men's basketball Olympic qualifying team.
Olympic qualifying coach Larry Brown was out for a 6-mile walk, strolling the perimeter of Central Park with assistant coach Gregg Popovich, when people starting to stream into the park.

"A kid in a Suburban stopped us and said 'Did you hear about the blackout?' He said there was a power shortage all over, and he mentioned Detroit _ which cracked me up,' said Brown, who recently took a job as head coach of the Detroit Pistons.
Brown made his way back to the team hotel, walked around for 90 minutes in a fruitless search for an open restaurant.

The U.S. team's exhibition game against Puerto Rico, originally scheduled for Friday night, was postponed until noon EDT Sunday because of the blackout.

"The amazing thing is, when I was the Clippers coach, being in L.A., I was in mudslides, a riot and an earthquake," Brown said. "Growing up here I was in blizzards and hurricanes, and in Kansas tornadoes. This was surreal.
"People were great. People were courteous and helping each other. I was really impressed with the way New Yorkers were acting."

In Cleveland, members of the NFL's Green Bay Packers and the WNBA's Connecticut Sun chatted in the lobby of their hotel. The Packers arrived in Cleveland just minutes before the massive power outage, while the Sun's game against the Cleveland Rockers was postponed.

Warner hopes to play most of tonight's game
The Associated Press
ST. LOUISE — Kurt Warner absorbed his first hard hit in the St. Louis Rams' opening preseason game, and now he's looking forward to his first success.
Warner was limited to two series in a 7-6 loss to the Oakland Raiders last week. He's been told he could play most if not all of the first half of tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, although he's not counting on it.
During his career, he're rarely played more than a quarter in a preseason game.
"I hope to play a half, really get in there and get a rhythm and play against this defense," Warner said. "I think it'll really help me speed things up and get ready to go."
ready to coach Mike Martz was noncommittal about his plans for Warner, other than to say Warner would play more than he did the first week.
"I kind of have an idea of what we want to do, but it may change." Martz said. "He needs to get in and mix it up against a team like this."
team like this. Warner was 3-for-4 for 18 yards and an interception against the Raiders, last year's Super Bowl losers. He was 0-6 as a starter last season while battling early inconsistencies and then injuries to his pinky and hand.
Warner got rocked on the second play of the Raiders game by lineman John Parrella, but eventually shook off the hit.
"I don't want to say it's fun to get hit, but it kind of makes you feel like you're back into it," Warner said.
In practice we have the red jerseys on and nobody ever touches us," Warner said. "To get into a game, to get a hit or two and get kind of bumped around, it makes you feel like you're back in the swing of things.
It was a wake-up call for the quarterback, who has enjoyed the hands-off treatment all summer.
"It kind of excites you about what the season is going to be about."
"That's what makes it fun, that's what really challenges you," Warner said. "I think it's just a great test for us, coming off last year and wanting to get back to the level we were at a couple years ago."

Facing the Bucs, the defending Super Bowl champions with the NFL's best defense, excites him, too. He relishes testing himself against the Bucs' team speed.
"Who better to test that against than the best defense in the league and a team that just won a Super Bowl?"
The Rams worked out indoors Friday because of the 92-degree heat, and gave healthy veterans Isaac Bruce and Aeneas Williams the day off along with several other players. Martz said if the team would have practiced outdoors they'd have to spend the next few days getting fluids back in the players.

Unknown Micheel becomes PGA champion by 2 strokes
The Associated Press
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Not many knew Shaun Micheel until this weekend. No one will forget the shot that won him the PGA Championship.
Clinging to a one-shot lead, Michele hit a 7-iron from the first cut of rough that stopped 3 inches from the cup for a tap-in birdie and a two-stroke victory, the final touch to the most surprising season of major championships in 34 years.
From 174 yards away, the ball
descended from the blue skies over Oak Hill,hopped three times and trickled toward the cup.
Michael knew it was good from the roar of the crowd.
He didn't know how good until he jogged up the steep slope of shaggy grass in front of the green and saw only 3 inches of grass between his ball and the hole. He removed his cap and waved it in celebration.
Winless in 163 previous starts on the PGA Tour, ranked No. 169 in the world when he
arrived at Oak Hill for the final major of the year, Micheal closed with an even-par 70 and won $1.08 million.
it was a fitting end to a wild summer.
Just one month ago, 26-year-old rookie Ben Curtis, ranked 396th in the world and playing in his first major, captured the British Open.
The victory by Micheel is the first time since 1969 that the four majors were swept by players who had never won a Grand Slam event.

Owner of climbing wall charged in woman's death at Missouri
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The owner of a synthetic rock-climbing wall from which a young woman fell to her death last month was charged Wednesday with first-degree involuntary manslaughter.
Police said in a court statement that their investigation found Marcus Frank Floyd was warned last year by the wall's prior owner to replace a frayed, duct tape-covered climbing cable, and that Floyd also received e-mailed reminders from the wall's manufacturer about regular replacement of the cables.
Floyd, 30, was arrested Wednesday at his Columbia home by University of Missouri
police and was booked into the Boone County Jail, where he was held on $50,000 bond, authorities said.
No hearing date was immediately set.
Floyd owns Columbia Climbing Gym & Portable Wall, which set up the tower-like climbing structure July 14 outside the university stadium where the Mid-Missouri Mavericks minor-league baseball team was playing.
Family members watched as Christine Ewing, 22, of Jefferson City, was descending the wall. A safety cable suddenly snapped and she plummeted more than 20 feet. Ewing died the next day of severe head trauma.
"The charge is that Marcus
Floyd recklessly caused the death of Christine Ewing," Boone County Prosecutor Kevin Crane said in an interview.
A university police statement supporting the filing of charges said Floyd bought the portable wall in September 2002.
The statement, signed by university police Sgt. Shawn Spalding, also said duct tape was wrapped around the point where the cable broke and that rust was noted at the cable's break point.
"The owner that Floyd purchased the wall from was interviewed and said that he told Floyd that the center climbing cable had broken strands and should be replaced as should all the cables," the statement said.
Royals send Hernandez to Wichita
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Runelvys Hernandez, who opened the season 4-0 and keyed Kansas City's surprising surge into first place, was sent down to Double-A Wichita on Sunday
Hernandez (7-5) was roughed up for nine runs on nine hits in just 31 1-3 innings of a 14-5 loss to Minnesota on Saturday.
It was his seventh start since coming off the disabled list for inflammation in his pitching
elbow. The Royals' opening day starter, Hernandez was 4-0 with a 1.04 ERA after his first five starts but went on the DL on May 27.
Since being activated, he appeared to lose velocity and confidence despite going 3-2.
"We'd like to see him throw his sinker more. We'd like to see him have better command of his fastball," general manager Allard Baird said, "And hopefully he's back here helping us win in September."
The move left Kansas City's four winningest pitchers - Chris George, Jose Limola, Kris Wilson
and Hernandez - either in the minors or on the DL. Of the 64 wins the club had going into Sunday, 40 belonged to pitchers who were either on the DL, in the minors or released.
Taking Hernandez's spot in the rotation will be Paul Abbott (0-0), who was acquired from Arizona's minor league system this month and has an ERA of 9.35 in 8 2-3 innings.
Lima (7-0) was expected to come off the DL on Monday to take Hernandez's roster spot and start against the New York Yankees.

Women's golfer becomes second-year All-American

The National Golf Coaches Association named University of Kansas women's golfer Jennifer Bawanan, Modesto, Calif., senior, to the 2002-03 All-American Scholar Golf Team. This is the second year in a row Bawanan has made the team.
Bawanan said one of her goals was to become an All-American golfer and she was happy to achieve the goal two years in a row.
"Jennifer balances the demands

of being a student-athlete well and is a great leader for our team both in the classroom and on the golf course," said Megan Menzel, coach of the KU women's golf team.
Menzel said she thought Bawanan gained more confidence after her junior year. Menzel said the extra confidence would make Bawanan mentally stronger for her senior year.
Bawanan ranked second in the KU women's golf team with a stroke average of 79.96 by the end of last season and ranked first on KU's best finish list after winning the Lady Aztec Invitational in 2003. Bawanan scored a career-best 228 in the fall of 2002 at the Marliyn Smith Sunflower Invitational as well as scoring a career-best one-round score of 71 at the 2001 Sunflower Cup in Manhattan.

Preseason high hopes greet women's soccer team
Freshmen soccer recruits bring long list of recognitions, awards
By Nikki Nugent
nnguent@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The women's soccer team is receiving national recognition and it hasn't even played a game yet.
Soccer Buzz magazine ranked the University of Kansas 31st in its 2003 National Top-100 recruiting class.
This year's juniors placed 25th in the 2001 recruiting class ranking. The combination of the two classes should help the team improve last fall season's record of 11-7-2. Coach Mark Francis said he thought this recruiting class was being recognized because each player could make an immediate impact.
"They can come in and challenge the starters which will make everyone better," Francis said.
Francis said the national recognition and the coaching staff's recognition for its hard work was nice.
"It also helps in future recruiting," he said.
Now coaches will begin evaluating the newcomers' ability to adjust to the speed and intensity of college soccer.
"We know they're all good," Francis said. "I expect them to be able to step in and perform."
The team lost only three starters from last year's team. With 14 letter-winners returning, eight of whom were starters last year, the team looks to improve upon its record.
The freshmen bring with them experience and a number of accolades.
Michelle Rasmussen played on the South Dakota Olympic Development Program team from 1997 to 2000 and was All-State two years. Nicole Alvarez was Kansas
class 6A All-State, All-Region and All-City for the past three seasons. Danika Erickson is a two-time All-State selection and a three-time All-Conference pick from Lakewood, Colo. Holly Gault was an Olympic Development Program team captain five straight years and a five-time Kansas Cup champion from Spring Hill, Kan. Jessica Kilpatrick was a four-year letter-winner and a six-time state champion from Englewood, Colo. Angie Miller was a three-year letter-winner from Sioux Falls, S.D. She played for the Olympic Development Program for four years and won a National Indoor Championship with the semi-pro team Spitfire. Lacey Novak was named All-Sun Country, Sunflower League and Johnson County. Novak was also a 2002 Kansas Cup champion.
Rasmussen, Vermillion, S.D., freshman, said she was excited to get started. She said she didn't feel any pressure to live up to the ranking.
"You come in knowing you have to work hard," she said.
Rasmussen said the team was meshing well. The returning players have welcomed the freshmen and made the adjustment comfortable.

"It's nice to know you're not intimidated by your own team," she said.
Rasmussen said she expected college soccer to be more physical and intense and move at a faster pace, but she said she was ready for the challenge.

Maggie Mason, one of two seniors on the team, said the team trained at an intense level this summer, harder than ever before.
"We are playing with each other more and so we are much more committed to each other and the goals of the team," Mason said.

She said there were a lot of games last year when the team did not show up mentally.
The team lost games it should have won because the other team set the tone and the Jayhawks were forced to comply. Mason said. She said this season would be different.

Football eligibility not an issue for Colorado
By Anthony J. Cerretani
Colorado Daily via U-WIRE
University of Colorado
BOULDER, Colo. — Those pesky eligibility issues are finally out of the way for the University of Colorado football team. Questions of academic eligibility that were on the table prior to the start of fall camp, questions that could have effected the strength of the defensive line how now been answered.
narnett Tuesday after the Buffs sixth practice in route to a scrimmage that took place on Saturday.
"Everyone on our football team is eligible," said head coach Gary
With that out of the way, Barnett and company can focus on the players that are beginning to stand out.
According to Barnett, after Tuesday's practice, the Buffs, looked sharp.
"Much sharper than maybe we've been in the past at this point in time so I was encouraged [on] both sides of the ball," he said.
But that sharpness could keep questions posed, specifically as to who will be taking snaps at the
line of scrimmage. It still looks as if jealol Klatt will hit the field first on August
CU
30 when the Buffs take on Colorado State at Invesco Field in Denver, but freshman James Cox and sophomore Erik Greenberg could be nipping at his heals.
"We're really splitting Klatt and Cox with the first unit and Cox is hanging in there pretty good," said Barnett. "Cox today drive a drive for a touchdown and Greenberg led a
drive for a touchdown." For Barnett, the questions weren't stressful ones, rather, he's enjoying how fall camp is playing out.
"It's fun watching all this competition," he said.
Specifically, aside from the quarterback position, there's also significant competition at the secondary, the wide receiver positions and at the kicking position.
At the running back spot, freshman Brandon Caesar has already made a name for himself in Barnett's eyes. Despite the presence of both Bobby Purify and Brian
Calhoun, who last year rushed for 56.8 and 22.9 yards per outing respectively, CU still lost its leading rusher, Chris Brown, to the Tennessee Titans in this year's draft. Brown led the Bucks last year, averaging 158.5 yards per game, 100 yards more than Purify, who was second on the year for CU.
Caesar could help pick up the slack. "Caesar has just put his name in the mix now. He's been really impressive this camp. In fact he was really impressive on a couple of drives here," said Barnett. "He's put himself in a position
now where he's a legitimate guy in the mix."
According to Barnett, Caesar is more focused and has a greater comprehension of how the system works.
He's like a different player than he was in the spring." The depth that's needed at the running back position is definitely not lost on Barnett.
"We needed that. We all do, everybody does," said Barnett. "Our schedule and this league, the pounding these guys take, you're going to need to play three of them probably."
Maryland's violation may be major, but its recruitment still ranked high
By Corey Masisak
The Diamondback via U-WIRE
University of Maryland
COLLEGE PARK, Md. George Covington had known for some time he wanted to orally commit to the University of Maryland football team. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive end from Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Md., hesitated last week when news that the recruiting violations involving Victor Abiamiri would be classified as major, said Miller Safrit, who covers ACC recruiting for TheInsiders.com.
But the Terrapins were placed on probation for one year last Monday, and Covington's oral commitment came soon after. If his lack of concern for the penalty is any indication, the Terps recent recruiting success is not going to be derailed.
University of Maryland Public Infractions Report Covington
"Obviously it's going to be a factor. People are going to try and use it against us."
James Franklin recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach
just wanted to talk with the coaches and he wanted to find out what the penalty was," Safrit said. "The coaching staff has done a great job of being upfront with the kids."
Despite losing Abiamiri to Notre Dame, last year's recruiting haul was considered one of the program's best in years.
The group is led by a bevy of local blue-chip prospects, including linebacker Wesley Jefferson (Gwynn Park), quarterback Ryan Mitch (DeMatha) and wide receiver Vernon Davis (Dunbar).
The Terps were able to keep
other programs from swooping in to steal players after the announcement that NCAA rules had been broken last spring, and this year they will have to deal with another recruiting disadvantage as a result of the decision.
"Obviously it's going to be a factor," recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach James Franklin said, "People are going to try and use it against us. What I do know is coach Friedgen has integrity and character, and that what's this program is going to be all about."
Recent history suggests the Terps' recruiting efforts will not be seriously hampered. Other schools that have received one-year probation sentences as a result of violations have not been significantly hurt.
In 1996, Florida State was placed on one year of probation for failing to take appropriate action when agents might have been involved with its football
players. The Seminoles continued to sign marquee recruits and won 56 of 62 games the next five seasons, including the 1999 national championship.
Virginia received a two-year probation sentence in 1993 for providing extra benefits to players and coaches, impermissible recruiting and a lack of institutional control.
The next season the Cavaliers welcomed a class featuring future NFL stars quarterback Aaron Brooks and wide receiver Germane Crowell. In 1995, Virginia became the first ACC team to defeat Florida State since it joined the conference in 1992 and was co-ACC champion.
"These kids aren't going to be affected by one year of probation," Safrit said. "Most of them are going to redshift next year, and they are going to be there four or five years. The schools that are affected are the ones like Alabama that get more than two years of probation."
Fans eager to begin Coach Fran era
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas
In only nine months, new Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione has given the Aggies an entirely new look.
He's tinkered with the offense, welcoming a competition at quarterback between Reggie McNeal and Dustin Long and found another position for multi-talented Jason Carter. He's also changed the defense to the 4-3 from the 3-4 that had been the alignment of choice in Agileland for 25 years.
Now, after a successful spring, Franchione is eager for the opener on Aug. 30 against Arkansas State so he can see how much the Aggies have progressed.
"August 30 about 11:30 at night, I'll know a lot more about our football team," Franchione said. "You reach a point where you know you need to keep practicing, but you also know you need to play a game to get
better. Generally, after 20-something practices you get to a point that you can't improve until you play a game."
Franchione has settled into his new job nicely, shaking off the affects of a nasty departure from Alabama. Since leaving behind angry fans and players who felt he'd betrayed them, he's immersed himself and his staff in new culture and tradition at A&M.
The Aggies were ready for a change following a mediocre 6-6 season that included an embarrassing 50-20 loss to the rival Texas Longhorns. That turned out to be the final game for coach R.C. Slocum, the most successful coach in a storied A&M history that includes Bear Bryant.
Despite the Aggies' success at passing last season, Franchione is eager to establish a running game. He's counting on tailbacks Derek Farmer or Courtney Lewis to give A&M its first 1,000-yard rusher since 1998.

Bedlam Bell trumps all other OSU traditions
By Jared Janes Daily O'Collegian (Oklahoma State
08/13/2003
STILLWATER, Okla. - Few Oklahoma State traditions could accurately sum up the way that OSU students love their university more than the Bedlam rivalry.
Throughout the year, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State compete in various sporting events, and fans from both schools show up in droves to help support their favorite university's student-athletes.
But before 1999, fans had no way to measure their school's success against its in-state rival.
Enter the Bedlam Bell.
The Bank of Oklahoma Bedlam Bell, which is sponsored by Oklahoma Ford dealers, provided a way for fans to find out who was winning the rivalry war. Using a simple point-based system, the Bedlam Bell series put into numbers what the fans already knew--their school was a billion times better than that other one in the state that's just "taking up space."
Based on the point standings, the university that ended up with the most points at the end of the year brought a massive crystal bell back to their school, signifying that for the past year that school was the best in Oklahoma.
The Bedlam Bell has been around for three years, and two of those three years the Bedlam Bell has been in Stillwater, Okla., -- including last year when it was triumphantly brought back from Norman, Okla.
Last year marked the first time
The Bedlam Bell is back where it belongs in Cowboy country," general manager of Cowboy Sports Properties Larry Reece said. "We're happy about that. What an outstanding year it was; it was a great first year for the new athletic director Harry Birdwell. We're excited about what happened here at Oklahoma State last year, and I know our fans are fired up about it."
Oklahoma State took home the Bedlam Bell last year by a wide margin, 12-7. In previous years, the schools could pick up major points for winning sports that counted for only a half-point, such as men's and women's golf.
that the university that had won the football game and won the two points allotted for victory during football had actually carried home the Bell.
OKLAHOMA STATE FOOTBALL
" This
Q
year, oddly enough, was the first year that the team that won the football game, a two-pointer, has actually won the overall Bedlam Bell. The first year, we lost the football game and came back and won the Bell. The second year we won the football game and they came back and actually ended up winning the Bell. This past year, we won the football game and kept the momentum going and brought it back home," Reece said.
One of the primary benefits of the Bedlam Bell series is that it
brings other Bedlam events into the spotlight beyond football and basketball. The university's hope for the overall Bedlam Bell hinges upon their success in all of the sports, rather than just a few. Last season. OSU ran away with the Bedlam Bell despite only splitting basketball and baseball.
"I really believe that it's brought attention to some other sports," Reece said. "Football fans now are interested in what happens with the soccer teams and what's going on with softball. I really think that some of the sports have benefited even more than football and men's basketball because people who maybe weren't that interested are now very interested in what the outcome is because they know that the overall Bedlam Bell could be on the line."
The Bedlam Bell in the end will belong to the university that wins it. But according to Reece, the best part about the Bedlam Bell is that it gives the overall athletic body something to be proud of and gives the fans something to brag about. Of course, even though the university might not
win the overall Bedlam Bell, the athletes of a particular program can take pride in gaining one in their respective sports.
Last year, Oklahoma State soccer coach Karen Hancock's squad struck first in getting a small Bedlam Bell with the soccer team's dramatic 3-2 victory over OU.
"Every sport has a Bell, so tennis can win their contest and they get to celebrate by having the smaller Bell for a year and show their recruits that they're the best in the state when it comes to the Bedlam rivalry and have the bragging rights," Reece said. "And then you add up all the sports and come up with the overall Bell championship. I think that our student-athletes on both sides have enjoyed and it, and the fans have enjoyed it and gotten into some sports that they weren't paying much attention to before."
The Bedlam Bell is a relatively new idea. The sponsorship for the Bell expired this past year, but the Bank of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Ford dealers signed up for another four years that will start
this fall. Long after a Bedlam match has been fought, the athletes can take pride in their victory and the fans will pay attention because a win or a loss can have possible repercussions for the Bedlam Bell standings. Usually, the Bedlam Bell standings remain close, so a win is important for either school, no matter the sport.
"We could be playing tiddlywinks and if the Sooners and the Cowboys or Cowgirls are there, people are interested," Reece said. "There's not a better rivalry in the country, in my opinion. I know some universities have great rivalries in football like Auburn and Alabama. There's great rivalries out there; Kansas and Missouri in basketball.
"But when you talk about across the board, anytime athletes are taking one another on, it doesn't get any bigger than Bedlam. I think we're very fortunate in the state of Oklahoma -- we don't have Major League baseball, we don't have the NBA and we don't have the NFL -- but we have the best college rivalry in America."
Committee to hold summit about bowl selection complaints, demands
By Chris Dufresne

Florida State University
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — In an effort to stave off dissension in the lower ranks and possible legal action, the bowl championship series oversight committee will hold a summit meeting in Chicago Sept. 8 with representatives from non-BCS conferences.
Last week's BCS conference
call with reporters to outline the meeting came the day before Tuesday's planned media tele-
BOWL
CHAMPIONSHIP
SERIES
conference call involving several presidents of non-BCS schools, who are demanding changes in the system that governs major college football.
Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman, a member of the recently formed BCS oversight committee, said Monday's offer was more olive branch than preemptive strike.
"Those of us in the conferences that manage the BCS recognize that improvements in the system can be made," he said.
Unlike college basketball, which is governed by the NCAA major college football is essentially run by leaders of the six major conferences — Pacific 10, Big Ten, Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big East and Southeastern — and football independent Notre Dame, ABC television and the four major bowls: Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and Orange.
The eight-year deal involving ABC and the BCS is worth $930 million through the 2005 season.
Members of the five non-BCS conferences — Mountain West, Conference USA, Western Athletic, Mid-American and Sun Belt — are demanding more access to the multimillion-dollar industry.
"This system that has divided Division I-A into two camps: Haves and have-nots," Tulane University President Scott Cowen said. "It essentially prevents 53 universities from competing for a national championship and should be dismantled."
College football has been down this road before. In 1996, after Brigham Young was snubbed for a major bowl despite a 13-1 record and No.5 national ranking, threat of an antitrust lawsuit forced the then-Bowl Alliance to become more inclusive.
After that season, any non BCS school that ranked No. 6 or higher would automatically qualify for a major bowl.
The Bowl Alliance became the BCS in 1998 after the RoseBowl joined a coalition that agreed to match the two highest-rated teams in a national title game rotated annually among the Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and Orange bowls
In the five-year history of the BCS, however, no school from a non-BCS conference has played in a major bowl game. The "havenots" argue that economic disparity has put them at a competitive disadvantage.
expires after 2005.
The BCS has insisted that non-BCS schools do have access to the system via the two at-large spots made available to the four major bowls. Officials said Monday that the BCS will have distributed $42 million to non-BCS schools when the contract
"We're quite confident that there isn't an antitrust problem here," said Ohio State President Graham Spanier, a BCS oversight committee member.
Still, the BCS appears willing to make more concessions as negotiations near for a new BCS deal, beginning in 2006.
"We are open to listening to their suggestions and what their concerns are," Perlman said. One way to make the BCS more inclusive could be to add a fifth "BCS bowl" game to the rotation. Perlman said the idea has "been informally discussed."
One idea apparently not negotiable is an expanded college football playoff, a plan proposed by some non-BCS representatives that would include all champions of Division I-A conferences.
Perlman has instructed major conference commissioners to "not pursue, at least at this point, an NFL-style playoff system." That directive does not preclude the chance of a possible limited playoff — the so-called "BCS-plus" plan — that would match the top-rated teams after the major bowls have been played.
Morriss ready for Baylor's challenges
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Guy Morriss knew things weren't going to be easy when he became coach at Baylor.
So in taking over a program that's gone 4-52 in conference play since the Big 12 began, he didn't promise immediate results.
results.
"It's going to take a little time to straighten out the problem," said Morris, returning to his home state on the heels of a two-year turnaround at Kentucky. "It didn't get broke over night and won't get fixed over night."
Morriss, the fourth Baylor coach since the league started in 1996, hopes to be the first to post a winning record — or even win more than one Big 12 game in a season.
But football failures aren't the only reason Morriss is taking over during one of the most turbulent times in school history.
When players reported in early August, one of the first things he addressed was the shooting death of basketball player Patrick Dennehye earlier this summer.
Carlton Dotson, a former Baylor teammate of Dennehy's, is accused of his murder. Scrutiny of that saga led to an internal investigation of the basketball team, which produced the Aug. 8 resignations of coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton.
Morriss is doing his best to keep his players focused on football.
They lived in a residence hall together the first two weeks of preseason workouts, and he took away their cell phones and car keys. He did the same thing at Kentucky in turning a probation-married program from 2-9 his first season to 7-4 last year.
A former offensive lineman at Texas Christian and in the NFL, Morriss must build more than confidence at Baylor. He also needs to add players to a team that has fewer than 80.
"When we took the job, we knew there were problems," said Morriss, who brought along his entire Kentucky staff. "We haven't seen a problem that we haven't dealt with before or have a good answer to solve them. It's a slow process."

Ohio State offensive line returns five seniors to squad
By Emily Haynam
The Lantern via U-WIRE
Ohio State University
(U-WIRE) COLUMBUS, Ohio - If potential Heisman Trophy candidate Maurice Clarett has any motivation to rejoin his team, it could start with the five guys that clear a path for him every time he touches the ball.
In its College Football Yearbook, the Sporting News rated the Ohio State University Buckeyes' offensive line as the number one unit in the nation for a good reason. The Buckeyes' front line is made up of five returning starters, all of whom are seniors with a wealth of experience. Together, the group has combined for 110
starts.
starts.
"It really helps playing with these guys for so many years. Guys like Bryce [Bishop] and Alex [Stepanovich] and I have basically played two, three years together," right tackle Shane Olivea said. "For us, it is just a point of doing what we do better."
Adrien Clarke and Ivan Douglas complete the five players on a line that has an average height of 6-4, and an average weight of 315 pounds.
Olivea said he thinks this is the best offensive unit the Buckeyes have had since he has been here. He said one advantage the team has in its favor is a lot of experienced returning players.
we've been very fortunate this
year with the amount of guys returning back, it is not like we have to re-teach everything. Guys know the system, and it is really all about getting the younger guys acquainted with the system." Olivea said.
Going into the Fiesta Bowl last year, the offensive line had the mentality they would not face any defensive lineman in the game who was any better than what they face every day in practice.

guys, and bigger than the average team we play. Going against them every day makes the games a little bit easier."
Aside from senior leadership, the offensive line has talent and depth at every position. Left tackle Robbie Sims and center Nick Mangold played crucial minutes as true freshmen last year and will challenge for more playing time this year. Also in the mix are right tackles Mike Kne,
Doug Datish, T.J. Downing, who was moved from tight end to tackle last year and Adam Olds who is progressing well after hip surgery. Kne, Datish and Downing were redshirt freshmen last year.
year.
The number one thing offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Jim Bollman looks for in his linemen is the ability to finish plays more consistently and hustle through an entire football game, he said. He said he is pleased with the pride his line takes in what they are doing.
"When you do the same things for a decent period of time, and you can keep doing them with the same amount or more enthusiasm, then you get better," Boll-
man said. "The main thing is the attitude that you put forth to what you do, and certainly this line has been together long enough that there is not a lot of assignment things that they are going to have problems with."
Bollman said one unusual thing about the offensive line is it is not about one guy, but about five guys that work together as a single unit. Bollman said it is easier on everybody to have so many guys back, but now, more than ever, the level of expectations is raised.
Stepanovich and Olivea are both candidates for lineman awards. Stepanovich is up for the Rimington Award and Olivea for the Outland Trophy.

Bowden, Paterno in twilight of careers
The Associated Press
They are in the twilight of their careers, yet desperately trying to stay connected to the changing world of the kids they lead. On the recruiting trail, their rivals assail them for their age and the well-known fact that they won't be coaching too much longer.
coaching too hard Still, Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno keep plugging away two of the best coaches in history, neither with anything left to prove, both hanging in there while they struggle to find anything that would satisfy them more than being on the football field.

change. It will excite.
Losses have been building at Florida State — nine over the last two seasons — and so have the problems. Gambling allegations involving quarterback Adrian
McPherson and a few odd slips of the tongue have fueled the longheld belief that Bowden is little more than a titular head of a program running amok.
Before last season began, Bowden declared "Let's roll" would be his team's slogan for 2002. It was supposed to honor the passengers on Flight 93 who took action against Sept. 11 hijackers after hearing Todd Beamer's call for action. It came off, to many, as a misguided effort to make football seem as important as life and death.
Just as Bowden was overcoming that public-relations problem, he twice in postgame interviews declared the Notre Dame offense to be like "serial killers; they kill everyone the same way," in the aftermath of a 34-24 loss. This came at a time when snipers were shooting and killing 13 people over a three-week period in the Washington area.
"Bowden, it appears, is losing a grip on his team—and perhaps his program," columnist Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel wrote after the Notre Dame loss.

conversations a few months previous about the possibility that McPherson was gambling.
McPhelson was guitarist. His critics, a small group that has grown dramatically as the Seminole have lost more games in the last two seasons than they have in the previous six, had trouble believing he was either a) that forgetful; or b) that detached from the program he built and defined over more than a quarter decade.
"For the rest of my career that's going to be part of it. He's too old," Bowden said. "You get that everywhere you go."

It didn't help Paterno when Penn State lost 14 of 20 games during a span in the 2000 and '01 seasons. But the Nittany Lions rebounded last year for a 9-4 record, quieting those who insisted that "the game was passing him by."

"So when we're out recruiting, a kid can identify with the people that he would be with maybe his sophomore and junior year," Patemo said. "I want to be fair."

While Paterno can see the end, Bowden is less committal.

Girlfriend alleges Clemons got too much help
She also says former Mizzou standout received money from someone within program
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tutors at the University of Missouri did excessive academic work for Ricky Clemons, the former Tigers' basketball player dropped from the team last month, his ex-girlfriend says.
In an interview with The Kansas City Star, Jessica Bunge also gave further details about her previous allegations that Clemons received money from someone in the university basketball program, and disputed coach Quin Snyder's account of how much clothing the player got from him.
Bunge, a former Missouri student who now goes to school in Chicago, was interviewed there by The Star last Monday. She said she earlier dated that day with an NCAA investigator but would not discuss specifics of that conversation.
him."
In an account of her interview with The Star, which the newspaper published Wednesday, Bunge was quoted as saying of Clemons, "He swore he could get away with anything, and they proved it to
Bunge told The Star about incidents involving what she believed to be excessive academic help to Clemons, a junior college transfer student who averaged 14.2 points per game last season.
She said she once went to the athletic support center to pick up Clemons, and while waiting for him logged on to the Internet at a computer next to one he was seated at.
Bunge said a tutor sitting on the other side of Clemons was typing a paper for him. Clemons, she said, barely paid attention to the tutor, focusing instead on Bunge's Internet surfing.
The tutor, she said, was writing the paper, and would say to Clemons, "You see why I did this?" She said Clemons would "look over and say 'Yeah' and then look right back over at me."
The NCAA allows tutors to type papers for athletes, if the player pays an hourly or per-page rate for the service, according to Bryan Maggard, associate athletic director for academic services at Missouri. But NCAA rules prohibit
tutors from providing original composition, and in past cases of improper typingschools have had to declare players ineligible and apply for reinstatement.
Clemons
"I know
we're not making any comment until our internal investigation is completed," Maggard said. "This will be addressed very seriously."
Bunge said that on another occasion she saw a tutor meet Clemons outside a classroom about 10 minutes before a class began. She said the tutor handed Clemons a completed assignment and that Clemons took it into the class and turned it in.
Clemons was suspended from the team for one game in January after an incident at his apartment involving Bunge, who said he held her there against her will and also choked her. In April, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charged of false imprisonment and third-

degree assault. He got a 60-day jail sentence for the false imprisonment count and was suspended from the basketball team for all of next season, but retained his scholarship.
Clemons began serving his time under a work-release arrangement. But after he was injured in an ATV accident near the Columbia home of University of Missouri President Elson Floyd on July4, it was discovered that he was supposed to be back at the halfway house at the time. That led to Clemons being ordered to the Boone County Jail to serve out the rest of his sentence, and to his dismissal from the basketball program.
Clemons remains in the jail at Columbia until later this month. Through his attorney, Wally Bley, he declined The Star's request for an interview Tuesday. But through Bley, he also denied all allegations of cheating and receiving improper benefits, other than those that Snyder acknowledged in court depositions and interviews.
Missouri officials declined to discuss specific allegations Tuesday, saying only that the school's investigation is ongoing.
investigation. "Certainly, we'll get to the bottom of this." Missouri athletics director Mike Alden said.
Snyder has acknowledged he gave Clemons two pairs of shoes and a pair of sweat pants, which he said "probably" will be ruled an NCAA violation.
According to Bunge, Clemons received much more.
She said she once drove to Snyder's house in her GMC Jimmy and that Clemons began bringing out armloads of clothes.
"He took three full loads from his house to my car," she said. "I
have an SUV, and the whole back end was full. He had sweat suits. He had really, really nice dress coats. He had suits. He had boxers. He had gym bags. He had a lot of Mizzou apparel, but a lot of it was really nice Brooks Brothers stuff."
Bunge also said Clemons often would come out of the Hearnes Center, home of the basketball program, with cash, allegations she first made in Boone County prosecutor Kevin Crane's initial investigation into the assault case.
Snyder has denied that Clemons—or any of his players—received funds, and Bunge said she never saw an exchange of money.
"I took him to the Hearnes, and he would come out and have money," she told The Star. "A hundred here, a hundred there. He'd get 50s. He'd get 20s. Anytime he needed money. If he needed money to pay his phone bill, that's where he went."
Bunge said she and Clemons would go to the mall and "he would spend hundreds of dollars on jump suits."
Little League officials seek to quash focus on player eligibility
The Associated Press
After two years of rampant rumors and scandals about player eligibility, Little League officials are hoping to keep the focus on the field at this year's World Series.
in one respect, the organization is already off to a good start.
"Last year, we had 11 lawsuits where we ruled a certain way and a parent or someone went to court to try to keep that ruling from standing. Our record last year was 8-2-1," Little League spokesman Lance Van Auken said. "Our record this year is 1-0 — we've only had one time where someone actually went so far as to file papers in court."
Two years ago, Danny Almonte threw
the first perfect game the series had seen in 44 years, leading the Rolando Paulino Little League of the Bronx, N.Y., to a third-place finish.
Team officials were constantly showing Almonte's birth certificate to combat rumors that he was too old to play Little League.
The Rolando Paulino team was stripped of its third-place finish, and Almonte's perfect game was erased from
League. It was only after the 2001 series ended that Little League officials learned Almonte's father had falsified his son's birth certificate so he could play. Almonte was 14 years old — not 12 — and he lived in the Dominican Republic, nowhere near the Bronx.
the record books.
Harlem had to send representatives back to New York to find the documents that proved their players were eligible. That won't happen this year, because Little League now requires teams carry all documentation with them throughout the international tournament.
Last year, Harlem Little League was dogged by rumors about players living outside the league's boundary lines. Although some players did live outside the district, Little League ultimately determined they met the criteria for residency waivers and that the team was eligible.
Members of the tournament committee were on hand at regional sites to verify each player's eligibility.
This year's field does have story lines that could eclipse past scandals.
my district. "Certainly if you're one of the faithful, if you're following your particular team, this makes you feel that it's a concern that is being addressed," said Bob Javaris, who teaches sports law at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "But to the average person in the public, they don't know about this."
that could compile a list of Matt Keen, of Tallmadge (Ohio) Little League, will try to win a title on the field where his father placed fourth in 1974. Japan's Musashi Fuchu Little League of Tokyo is back three years after a thirdplace finish. And hard-throwing pitchers, like Chandler (Ariz.) National's
Cory Bernard, and heavy hitters, like David Mastro of Naamans Little League of Wilmington, Del., could captivate the fans the same way Almonte did.
Little League has overcome scandals before, first when foreign teams were barred from the World Series in 1975 because of trouble verifying player eligibility, then again in 1993 when a team from the Philippines was forced to forfeit its World Series title for violating residency rules.
Van Auken said the additional scrutiny has paid off.
After reviewing the documents teams brought to the regionals, the organization is "reasonably confident" that all 16 teams are eligible.

President will grant all releases
Baylor program to be on probation because of major NCAA violations
The Associated Press
John Lucas III, Baylor's starting point guard, said Wednesday he has received his release to talk to other schools about transferring.
Baylor president Robert Sloan said Monday that any player who requests a release will be granted one. He also said the school would support a petition to the NCAA to waive the requirement that players sit out a year when transferring to another NCAA Division I school.
Sloan said last week he was putting the program on probation for at least two years because of major violations of NCAA rules, saying it will not participate in the postseason this season, including the Big 12 tournament.
Lucas, who is spending the summer in Houston, said more than half dozen schools, including Georgetown and Arkansas.
have already contacted him about transferring.
"It's just like high school all over again." he told Houston television station KRIV on Wednesday. "It's exciting but it also makes me nervous because you don't want to make the wrong decision."
He hasn't decided on his future, but said he plans to decide with his father if he will remain at Baylor or finish his basketball career elsewhere.
"Right now, it's still more like a shock to everybody," Lucas told the Dallas Mallorca News in a story in Wednesday's online edition. "The whole thing, it's like, it can't be happening. It's like it's a movie. It’s all crazy. But I know I’ll have to figure things out sometime soon, because school starts in a couple of weeks."
The development may quiet talk that his father, former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach John
Lucas, is a candidate for to be the head coach at the school. He declined to comment on whether he had been contacted by Baylor.

Sloan
"We're trying to listen and learn," the elder Lucas told the newspaper. "My concern is him. Once I help him decide what he needs to do, then I can go forward from there and talk about my situation."
Attempts by The Associated Press to reach the Lucases by telephone Wednesday night were unsuccessful.
Lucas joins other Baylor stand-outs Lawrence Roberts, the Bears' leading scorer last season, and Kenny Taylor, the third-leading scorer, who requested and received releases from Baylor on Tuesday. On Sunday, one of Baylor's top recruits, 6-foot-9 center Tyrone Nelson said he would ask for a release from his national letter of intent.
Baylor organized a six-member search committee Tuesday to find a new coach and athletic director.
Former coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton abruptly resigned last Friday after school officials revealed that Bliss was involved in two players' receiving improper financial aid and that staff members did not properly report failed drug tests by players.
Questions about the basketball program came about after the disappearance of Baylor player Patrick Dennehy, whose body was found in a field July 25. Dennehy, who was missing about six weeks, was shot twice in the head. A former teammate and roommate, Carlton Dotson, has been charged in Dennehy's death.
Some of Dennehy's family and friends said a coach gave him money for a car and apartment rent and that his tuition was taken care of, although he was not on scholarship after transferring from New Mexico.
Sloan: Boosters have no paid ball players
The Associated Press
No boosters have been involved with paying Baylor basketball players, according to school president Robert Sloan.
Sloan would not elaborate last week on where two athletes got money for tuition, an NCAA violation that led to the resignations of coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton on Friday.
"Thus far, I have no knowledge of any booster money being involved in improper payments." Sloan said during a news conference. "...I know of absolutely no evidence of a slush fund."
Allegations of NCAA violations surfaced after the disappearance in mid-June of basketball player Patrick Dennehy, whose body was found July 25 in a field near a rock quarry southeast of town. He died of gunshot wounds to the head, according
HAMMOND BEARS
to a preliminary autopsy report.
Carlton Dotson, who played
basketball at Baylor last season and lived with Dennehy for a few months, has been charged with murder. He remains jailed in his home state of Maryland, awaiting transfer to Texas.
One of Dennehy's friends has said an assistant coach gave Dennehy blank money orders to buy a vehicle and for his apartment rent. Patrick Dennehy Sr. has said a coach assured his son the school would help him pay tuition and living expenses after the player gave up his scholarship for a year. Dennehy's mother and stepfather, Valorie and Brian Brabazon, have said they were not paying his tuition
— more than $17,000 a year —
and living expenses.
In a news conference Friday, Sloan said Bliss was involved in the violations but that Stanton had no direct knowledge of them. Sloan put the basketball program on probation for at least two years.
Sloan also met with players and their families for more than two hours Monday, saying there was "frustration, tears, commitment, all kinds of emotion in the room." Bliss and Stanton also attended the meeting.
Matt Sayman, a senior, said he and at least two other players will return this fall, despite Sloan's self-imposed sanctions barring the team from postseason competition next season.
"We have nothing to lose, so we're just going to go and play hard and try to gain people's respect as we go and get a couple of wins along the way." Sayman
said.
Sloan said last week he would announce a search committee that would work quickly to hire a basketball coach and an athletic director.
Richard Guinn said his son, basketball player R.T. Guinn, will stay at Baylor because he is a senior. R.T. Guinn wants to be a college coach, his father said.
Guinn said school officials discussed the NCAA rules regarding transfers, but that no one in the meeting said if they planned to leave.
Sloan said Baylor agreed to release any player who requests it but that the NCAA will decide whether to waive a rule requiring players to sit out for a year after transferring.
Guinn said the group also praved for Dennehy.
"I wish we could go back in time," Guinn said, "like it never happened."

Tapes show Bliss asked players to lie to police
WACO, Texas — Secretly recorded tapes and handwritten notes show former Baylor basketball coach Dave Bliss told his players to lie to investigators looking into program violations and say a slain player had paid his tuition by dealing drugs, two newspapers reported Saturday.
"The bizarre circumstances painted me into a corner and I chose the wrong way to react," Bliss told the Star-Telegram. Since resigning, he said, "I have cooperated completely and will continue to do so because I know I have disappointed a lot of people."
Earlier this month, Baylor President Robert B. Sloan Jr. said an internal review committee found two players received improper tuition payments and that Bliss admitted involvement.
Bliss, who resigned Aug. 8 after the investigation into Patrick Dennehy's death, has admitted to being involved in paying players' tuition and acknowledged the attempted cover-up to both the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Dallas Morning News.
The review committee found no evidence Dennehy was involved in drug dealing, committee chairman and law professor Bill Underwood said.
The tapes of Bliss speaking with players were secretly recorded by assistant coach Abar Rouse, the Star-Telegram reported. In them, the newspaper says, Bliss is heard telling his players what to say to investigators.
"I think the thing we want to do—and you think about this—if there's a way we can create the perception that Pat may have been a dealer," Bliss is heard saying on one tape according to the newspaper. "Even if we had to kind of make some things look a
little better than they are, that can save us."
The tapes also apparently show that Bliss knew some players smoked marijuana and that Baylor coaches lied when they denied knowledge another player, Harvey Thomas, had threatened Dennehy before Dennehy's disappearance.
In one conversation, Bliss indicated Thomas would be willing to lie about Dennehy's activities because Baylor coaches had publicly said they knew nothing about Thomas' threats.
"Harvey will do anything," Bliss told Rouse. "And the reason is because we did it for Harvev."
Thomas has denied the threats or any involvement in Dennehy's death. A former teammate, Carlton Dotson, has been charged with murder.
Rouse said he made the secret recordings July 30-31 and Aug. 1 after Bliss told him he would lose his job if he didn't help carry out the deception.
In a statement Friday night, Sloan said he felt betrayed by Bliss' attempt "to suppress and conceal the truth."
Kirk Watson, counsel for the review committee, said members were stunned.
"These tapes are evidence of a desperate person trying to cover up his activities. It is shocking. But the good news is it failed." Watson said.
Underwood told the Morning News that the review committee also found that Bliss wrote scripts for players and coaches to review before talking with authorities. The scripts included fabrications alluding to drug use by Dennehby.
Dennehyn's stepfather, Brian Brabazon, said he was outraged by Bliss' actions, "especially trying to besmirch my son's name when he is dead."

Pena's outlook helps to lift Royals to top spot in division
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Kansas City Royals owner David Glass starts feeling discouraged, he reaches out to the happiest person he knows.
"I just call Tony Pena," Glass said. "You couldn't stay discouraged around Tony if you wanted to."
But amid all the excitement and optimism the perpetually upbeat Pena has created in his first full season as a big league manager, who would want to?
There are 40 games left in what seems to be a charmed season for Missouri's long-woeful American League franchise. But they have already won more games and sold more tickets than all of last season.
Tough, resourceful and amazingly resistant to injuries that cripple most clubs, the Royals remind New York Yankees manager Joe Torre of the Angels team that won the 2002 World Series.
"They may not have as much experience as the Angels did, but they've got some young kids who are believing in themselves," Torre said. "It's the same kind of feisty lineup."
An 11-0 rout of Torre's Yankees on Wednesday night was the perfect illustration of the kind of season the surprise leaders of the AL Central have enjoyed.
Centre have started pitcher was 35-year-old Kevin Appier, released by the Angels last month seemingly washed up. In center field in place of ailing star Carlos Beltran was a 10-year minor league veteran named Aaron Guiel who had played the position only twice.
At second base for the overworked Desi Relaford was journeyman Mendy Lopez, who'd been on the disabled list for nearly

Pena
two months and hadn't hit a home run since 2001.
So Appier pitches six sh u t o u t innings, Guiel plays flawlessly and Lopez
clubs a two-run home run.
And the Royals with their $41 million payroll win a home series from the New Yorkers and their $180 million payroll for the first time since 1993.
"It was just more of the magical season for us," said DH Mike Sweeney.
"For us to win, let alone score 11 runs against the Yankees makes you scratch your head. It just goes to show you that Tony Pena is the manager of the year and we're playing Tony Pena baseball. He tells us, 'Go out and have fun, boys. Don't get nervous, don't feel pressure, just have fun.'
Pena, a longtime national league catcher, was named manager in May, 2002 and began his first full season by pounding home his "believe" theme the first day of spring training.
"Confucius say if you love what you're doing, you don't have to work for the rest of your life," Pena said.
Peta said.
"And I do not have to work for the rest of my life because this is my love and this is my passion and this is why I have so much fun."
Having fun seems to be keeping Pena's players at full capacity.
"The confidence is tremendous," said Appier, who was traded by the Royals in 1999. "It's an extremely relaxed atmosphere. Not lazy-relaxed, but loose."

Another reason the Royals have continued to win is their 306 average with runners in scoring
position, the best in the majors.
"It suggests that they have a plan when they go up to the plate," said Torre. "They're not just going up
there looking for the ball and hitting the ball. They have an idea in their approach to hitting off certain pitchers, what they want to do."
And that, Torre says, goes back to leadership.
"fony's done a heck of a job, not only with the preparation but with making it fun for them," Torre said. "There's a lot of pressure in this game. When your manager shows a lot of confidence in you, it makes it less stressful."
The only possible downside to what Sweeney calls this magical season may be obesity, high cholesterol and every other malady that comes from eating five million doughnuts.

As of Friday, the Royals have hit the dozen mark in 19 home games. If every ticket stub is redeemed and the Royals go into a slump and don't get even one more 12-hit game, fans will waddle off with 5,421,456 of the warm, sugary, high-calorie treats

Once the Royals get close to the magic number, "We just start making them as fast as possible," said Christy Norton, who manages a Krispy Kreme near Kauffman Stadium. "Usually within 24 hours after the game, we get a thousand Royals tickets."

Allen Iverson plopped himself down, covered his cornrows with a red, white and blue doo rag and pronounced himself proud to be representing all Americans — especially the troubled ones with whom he has something in common.
Iverson happy to play for national team
"In a lot of people's eyes, I'm not supposed to be here. Talent-wise, people look at it as though
I'm supposed to be here, but personality-wise and who I am, people don't think so," Iverson said.
"I have flaws — just
Iverson
like people in any country. There's a lot of people in all different countries that have flaws and have made mistakes, and I just want to represent that."
Sunday was a special day for Iverson, the culmination of years of waiting and hoping that someday he'd be deemed worthy enough to represent his homeland.
Iverson was out there with the rest of the U.S. men's basketball team as they held their first practice in preparation for an Olympic qualifying tournament later this month in Puerto Rico, and it was somewhat of a strange sight to see the 6-foot Iverson bouncing his skinny, tattooed body around while wearing the letters "USA" on his jersey.
The U.S. basketball federation passed over Iverson for inclusion on last summer's World Championship team, but he was added to the Olympic roster thanks in part to some lobbying from his former coach, Larry Brown.
To Iverson, one of the most fulfilling aspects was making the team without having to remake himself.
"That means everything to me. I don't want to change who
I am, because I'm satisfied with the person my mom raised, and I'm satisfied with being the husband and the father that I am. I still make mistakes, I've got rough edges, I'm human just like everybody else."
Iverson has been picked on for his habitual lateness, his domestic abuse arrest, his rap sheet from his days as an incarcerated teenager, his affinity for firearms, his diet, his choice of clothes and the caliber of the people he hangs around with.
But six years after entering the NBA, he remains as proud of his past and devoted to his roots as he was the day he came into the league as the No. 1 overall pick of the 1996 draft.
"I'm happy I was able to make this team without having to cut my hair off and laser my tattoos off, and wear a suit and all that, and stop hanging with the people who love me," Iverson said. "I'm just happy that I was accepted and picked to be on this team because it shows how far I've been in my career."
Iverson had only 10 teammates on the floor with him as 40-year-old Karl Malone missed practice while traveling cross-country from his new home in Los Angeles.
Malone is expected at practice Monday when Brown should pick up the pace following a Sunday practice that was run at half-speed.
Reporters were allowed to watch the final 30 minutes of practice and got a chance to see Iverson come up with a steal in a scrimmage, drive the middle while splitting three defenders and dish a soft pass to Jermaine O'Neal that bounced off his fingertips for a turnover.
The American team figures to improve over the next 10 days while practicing in New York before the trip to Puerto Rico. They open the qualifying tournament Aug.20 against Brazil.

MONDAY,AUGUST 18,2003
Football offseason proved chaotic
The Associated Press
College football was living high in January. A thrilling championship game with no controversy about its participants capped a season full of excitement.
Then came the offseason.
Two prominent coaches lost their jobs — Rick Neuheisel for gambling and Mike Price for allegedly partying with strippers.
Ohio State's title was called into doubt with questions about the academic eligibility of its star, Maurice Clarett, and then an NCAA investigation into his claim that he had thousands of dollars of stereo equipment stolen from a car.
Most importantly, civil war broke out when the ACC lured Miami and Virginia Tech away from the Big East, altering the balance of power in the sport and leaving one of the six major conferences fighting to maintain its prominence.
Finally, it's time for the games to begin.
"It's great to get a chance to talk football again," Miami coach Larry Coker said at his
final Big East media day "Once the games begin, all this fire and brimstone will wane a little bit."
The impact of last year's championship game and the offseason's chaos will be felt all season.
Hours after 31-24 double overtime loss in the Fiesta Bowl to Ohio State, Miami's players were eager to eliminate the bitter taste from the game.
Every time they watched the tape, every time they practiced, almost everywhere they went, the Hurricanes couldn't help thinking about the missed opportunities that cost the Hurricanes a repeat championship.
year's Buck-
"All those two-a-days, all those practices, all those seven-on-sevens, the team meetings, were for nothing, and we only had 2 yards to go," said Miami tight end Kellen Winslow Jr.
Five turnovers, blown assignments, a bit of overconfidence and a questionable pass interference call helped Ohio State snap Miami's 34-game winning streak and give hope to many teams that they, too, have a title chance.
CITY OF NEW YORK
year's duckeyes — a team that came off a five-loss season to run the table and win the championship.
Heading into this season, teams are hoping to become this
"H o w many people Neuheisel really did
give Ohio State a chance last year?" North Carolina State coach Chuck Amato said. "You've got to dream about it, you've got to talk about it, so if it happens, we just don't faint."
This year's top contenders are missing some usual names. Nebraska, Florida State and Florida — which together won at least a share of the national every year but one from 1993-99, are all expected to begin the season outside the Top 10, or in the case of Nebraska and Florida, maybe outside the poll entirely.
Eight times from 1991-2001, one of those three teams was the preseason No. 1. But coaching changes at Nebraska and Florida
and turmoil at Florida State have changed the balance of power.
"I've had to face the reality of losing games for the first time in a long time — and I don't like it," Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said.
The ACC, once considered among the weaker major conferences, is in position to be among the toughest in the country once Big East powerhouses Miami and Virginia Tech join in 2004.
The Big East figures to have its best year yet in the what could be its final year as a major player. Miami, Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh will all compete for the conference title and figure to play a major role in deciding who plays in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the site of this season's BCS national title game.
Few expected Ohio State to be in the game last season; even fewer thought the Buckeyes could snap Miami's winning streak.
but coach Jim Tressel, using an offense more suited to Woody Hayes' era than today's wide-open one, led Ohio State to its first title in 34 years.

Febles had been a disappointment
Febles and center fielder Carlos Beltran came up together through the minor league system and were expected to become impact players.
both offensively and defensively despite occasional flashes since his rookie season in 1999.
Beltran, in fact, has. But Febles never got his career going and came into this season with a 252 lifetime average.
"I'm disappointed. But I'm mainly disappointed in myself," the 27-year-old Febles said. "I came out of spring training with
big expectations and didn't fill them. I didn't do my job."
Febles was hitting .253 with 11RBIs in 196 at-bats for the AL Central leaders. His fielding error on a potential double-play grounder in the ninth innings last week led to a three-run rally by Tampa Bay and a demoralizing 3-2 loss.
The Royals' new full-time second baseman will become Desi Relaford, the versatile infielder-outfielder who started in center field against New York on Tuesday night as Beltran rested a sore elbow.
Mendy Lopez, who came off the disabled list after missing 53 games with a right calf strain, took the roster spot of Febles.
"You're looking at a player who is pressing, trying to do too much," Royals general manager Allard Baird said of Febles.
"His strength has always been defense. I think with the opportunities he's had to play, he's tried to do too much offensively and at times that's carried over to his defense."
Cornhuskers coach says power football will remain a priority
The Associated Press
Nebraska offensive lineman Dan Vili Waldrop becomes envious when he watches the tape of the Cornhuskers' 1994 national championship game against Miami.
"That offensive line would kill people," Waldrop said. "In the fourth quarter, they would still be jogging up to the line every play, and the team on the other side would be gasping for air."
Waldrop acknowledges that it was he and his linemates who were sucking air late in games last year.
"We need to return to the old Nebraska," the senior tackle said. "We may not be the same people, but we want to be the same power football team."
ball under Tom Osborne.
Physical domination was a point of pride for Nebraska foot-
Sixth-year head coach Frank Solich insists that power football will remain Nebraska's mantra.
No one in college football,how ever, would argue that the Cornhuskers of recent years have failed to wear down opponents the way they once did.
Nebraska, to be sure, was a strong rushing team last year at 268.7 yards a game.
But it was the third time in five years that the Huskers didn't average 300 yards on the ground — the standard by which Nebraska offenses are measured.
In the losses to Iowa State and Kansas State, the Huskers failed to run for 100 yards.
"We got outmuscled a lot," sophomore tackle Richie Incognito said.
Joel Wilks, a member of the vaunted "Pipeline" offensive line
of 1994, said it hurt to see the Huskers get manhandled. But after attending a practice in late September, he said, the team's 7-7 record at year's end wasn't a total surprise.
"It seemed like there was a different feel around there," said Wilks, now a physical therapist and assistant high school football coach in Portland, Ore. "It was laid back. I didn't see the intensity level that I saw back in the day."
Wilks and his "Pipeline" partners still are considered one of the greatest offensive lines ever in college football. Joining Wilks on the line were Outland Trophy winner Zach Wiegert, All-American Brenden Stai, Rob Zatechka and Aaron Graham.
No one game captured the essence of Nebraska power football better than the Orange Bowl after the 1994 season. The
N Huskers
17 victory over Miami.
Nebraska rolled through the '90s in much the same fashion, with the brute force of its offensive line serving as the team's calling card.
“To watch what happened last year hurt the pride of everyone who had ever played offensive line at Nebraska,” Wilks said. “We're so used to having that dominating presence late in the game. To see us drop into that middle tier of teams in college football, it was hard to swallow. All of us hope it was just a one-year deal.”
There are theories as to why the
line declined.
Traditionally, Nebraska linemen haven't seen much playing time until their junior and senior years. The 85-scholarship rule has forced all teams to go with younger players. The Huskers' lines have been decimated the last two years by the departures of underclassmen Dominic Raiola and Toniu Fonotti to the NFL.
Wilks said he doesn't buy the argument that Nebraska hasn't been recruiting the same quality of offensive lineman.
He said the linemen need to work harder.
And the linemen agree.
"We've got a lot to prove, to ourselves and to our fans," Incognito said.
The linemen are saying all the right things as the Aug. 50 opener against Oklahoma State approaches.
They talk about going through a tough summer conditioning program directed by new strength coach Brian Bailey.
They talk about the embarrassment of last year and their desire for redemption.
They talk about the new energy created by first-year offensive coordinator and line coach Barney Cotton.
Cotton, who played on the Nebraska offensive line in the late 1970s, said that while he has put in some new twists in the passing game, he'll remain true to the system that traditionally has produced lots of vards and lots of victories.
That means the Huskers will keep trying to pound the ball.
It isn't so much about X's and O's to Cotton.
"What it comes down to," he said, "is whether we are more physical than the other team."

Son's death brings hope to Iraqi's Olympians
By Alan Abrahamson
FSView via U-Wire
Florida State University
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Udai Hussein, who headed Iraq's Olympic Committee, was so feared within his country that the glee many Iraqi sports officials felt shortly after his death was muted by concern that he was somehow still alive.
"We hear it's him — but we are not 100 percent sure about his death," soccer player Jaffer al-Muthafer said. Al-Muthafer, 42, escaped from Iraq in 1979, earned a doctorate in sports management in Germany and returned to Iraq — to see his mother for the first time in 24 years — in mid-May. In recent months, he had been active in an exile group called the Free Iraq Olympic Group.
U. S. military authorities announced weeks ago that Udai Hussein, 39, and his brother Qusai, 37, had been killed in a firefight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. Gunfire, apparently celebratory, erupted around Baghdad late Tuesday as word spread that Saddam Hussein's sons had been killed.
"If it's really him, we will be so very happy," al-Muthafer said. "We will really be able to start a new regime of Olympic sport in Iraq, OK, he's gone. We will start a new life."
Saddam's whereabouts remain unknown.
Five years after Saddam assumed power in 1979, Dai, his
Udai Hussein had sole and unchallenged decision-making power in the realm of sports. Apparently, however, that was not enough. He used the Olympic rings to mark his territory. For instance, he put the rings on the outside of a private hospital of which he'd taken charge.
For years, he ordered beatings and imprisonment of athletes and sports officials, often on a whim. The abuse grew worse — and more arbitrary — after 1996 following an assassination attempt that left him with serious spinal wounds.
Tras Odisho was a senior official in the 1980 Iraqi delegation to the Moscow Olympics and still remains influential on the Iraqi sports scene.
eldest son, took over the Iraqi Olympic Committee. For almost 20 years, he seemed to relish that post over all of his others while, at the same time, perversely ordering the nation's best athletes beaten, tortured and jailed.
sports scene.
"The blackest point in our history was when Udai took over," Odisha said. "Before him we were walking forward. When he took over, we started running backward."
"Iraq is now free from torture. Free from Udai," Amu Baba said. Baba is a 69-year-old legend within Iraq, a star on the Iraqi men's national soccer team a generation ago.
served as secretary-general of the Iraji soccer federation since 1992. Udal Hussein was also president of the soccer federation.
"After games, they called me from Udai's office," Mahmod said. "They would say, 'This player, this player, this player.' I would organize the players. They would sit in a room. Someone would come and take them and jail them."
"I knew they were taking them to jail or beating them but I couldn't do anything." Besim Jamal Mahmod said. Mahmod, 52, has
Laith Hussein, captain of the soccer team since 1996 recalls "10 or 12 times" he was jailed over the years.
"If he would find any small mistake, he would directly punish me," Hussein said. "When I became 16, I started playing for the national team. You can only imagine how I've suffered [because of] Udai. I've seen it all."
In December, the human rights group Indict made the first public allegations of abuse linked to Udai Hussein's control of the Iraqi sports program.
International Olympic Committee officials have said they received no complaints before December. In May, after finding the stories of such abuse credible, the IOC suspended Iraq from the Olympic movement.
Though the Iraqi committee remains suspended, the IOC has been working behind the scenes to get a new committee built and an Iraqi team to Athens for the Summer Games in August 2004. An IOC task force on Wednesday completed a nine-day mission to Baghdad.

Senior quarterback Bill Whittemore stretches during Thursday's practice, which was open to the public.Whittemore ranked fourth in the Big 12 Conference in total offense last season despite missing the last three games because of a knee injury.
Whittemore ready to take charge in new season
By Ryan Greene
rgreene@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
The last time there was this much excitement about Kansas football was in 1995, when June Henley was in the backfield and coach Glen Mason had not yet bolted for Minnesota.
It's hard to figure how so much excitement could come following a 2-10 season, but senior quarterback Bill Whittemore is providing the spark.
Last fall, Whittemore's first season in Lawrence ended abruptly with a knee injury against Missouri on Oct. 26. To that point, Whittemore had amassed 1,666 passing yards, 549 rushing yards, 22 touchdowns and added a pulse to the lifeless offense left over from the Terry Allen era.
Even though the 2-7 start to the season was tough, watching the final three games from the sidelines gave Whittemore his toughest challenge yet.
"Watching them battle out there and not being out there to help them, with all you've been through, with two-a-days, fall ball, spring
ball, it's tough," Whittemore said.
"Yeah I had a season-ending injury, but that stuff happens in football." Whittmore said. "It's not under my control, it's not under their control, it's in the Lord's hands, and I'm going to continue to play the play I玩."
Despite suffering a knee injury that has the ability to keep players from returning to their top form, Whittemore is not ready to use a medical problem as an excuse.
Compared to last season. Whittermore has more working in his favor to keep himself from getting hurt again.
An offensive line bolstered by junior college transfers and the addition of new threats at receiver and in the backfield will make Whittemore less depended upon.
Coach Mark Mangino said an improved running game will alleviate the pressure on his star quarterback, with sophomore Clark Green becoming the full-time starter and the addition of freshman John Randle.
"Bill is just great," senior wide receiver Greg Heaggans said. "When he drops back to throw the ball it will be a lot of fun because he
"It's not under my control, it's not under their control, it's in the Lord's hands, and I'm going to continue to play the way I play."
Bill Whittemore senior quarterback
can pick any receiver he wants."
Whittemore is on pace to leave his mark in the Kansas record books by the time he is done this season, but he wants to make sure he leaves Lawrence with more than just numbers.
With a conference schedule devoid of perennial powerhouses such as Texas and Oklahoma, this is the Jajhwaks' final chance for a lighter Big 12 slate before the Longorns and Sooners return next year.
"Yeah we have a sense of urgency," Whittemore said. "You know we're tired of losing, and it's showing here in practice."

FOOTBALL: The schedule works in Kansas's favor
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"It takes someone special to get the team pumped up when everyone's head is down, somebody with heart," Johnson said. "I feel that I am that guy, even though I am a receiver. Sometimes the offense needs to get woken up."
On the other side of the ball, the defense will have its cornerstone back in sophomore linebacker Banks Floodman. Floodman suffered a season-ending knee injury in last season's opener against Iowa State.
Floodman brought his frustration at being on the sidelines to the weight room, bulking up from 215 pounds to a cut 230.
"He is really excited to be back on the field," Mangino said. "He wants to lead so badly and is very excited to play. His enthusiasm is rubbing off on the other kids as well as me."
Floodman will need to help shore up a defense that struggled last season. Kansas ranked last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, allowing an average of 42.2 points per game.
Working in Kansas' favor is a schedule that includes four non-conference opponents that combined for a record of 15-32 in 2002. Also, this year's conference schedule does not include Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech, which finished first, second and third respectively in the Big 12 South last year.
"I'm not going to give up one game on our schedule," Mangino said. "I know we're going to win."

LEW: AD wants to build program and leave mark

"We don't have enough money," Perkins said. "We're in the lower end of the pot in the Big 12. We're going to have to be creative because funding is very important."
Perkins recently purchased a home in Lawrence where he will live with his wife of 35 years, Gwen. The month of August is important to Perkins because it means school will begin, and he will be able to meet with all of the athletes and coaches.
Caring is something Perkins wants the students at the University to share when it comes to Jayhawk athletics.
"He cares a great deal about the student athletes as people, not just athletes," said Jim Marchiony, the new associate athletics director for External Affairs who followed Perkins to Lawrence from Connecticut.
"I want to leave my mark here, and I think this goes back to the students," Perkins said. "Help us and leave your mark and do something most people won't do and support a program that."

Dining halls allow more flexibility in meal plans
By Lindsay Killiper and Alea Smith

Special to the Kansan
In the past, students living in residence halls were required to purchase a meal plan. With only three choices and limited time and availability, it was an inconvenience to many students.
The plan allows students to use their a la carte dining dollars at the KU Housing Dining Halls, The Market in the Kansas Union, the Burge Union and Wescoe Terrace.
fence to many studios. "I never had enough time to come back to E's for lunch and then at night I'd work," said Jennifer Boyce, Dodge City senior. "It made it kind of ridiculous to have to have the meal plan, even the lowest one, if I was never around to use it."
This year will be different — students will have a better choice.
The program, called KU Cuisine Meal Plans, allows students to use a debit account at 17 eateries throughout campus
The Department of Student Housing Dining Services has developed a program to give on-campus students a better opportunity to get their money's worth out of the meal plans.
Students participating in the KU Cuisine plan put money into an account and use their KUIDs as debit cards when purchasing food at any of the participating locations. With the plans, students receive 5 per "It made it kind of ridiculous to have to have the meal plan, even the lowest one, if I was never around to use it." Jennifer Boyce Dodge City senior

Students who choose the Crimson plan deposit $500 in the account and receive a 10 percent bonus of $50, for those who sign up before Sept. 1.
Other available options include the Blue 250 and Crimson 100. Each number stands for the dollar amount of the plan.
Jason Arnett, KU Market unit manager, said he was pleased with the meal plans, and excited about new or unaware students taking advantage of the markets on campus.
campus. "We think the meal plans have dramatically increased student usage of food services." Arnett said.
Before this year, students living in residence halls only had the choice between the meal plans offered for the dining halls.
Students can sign up for the meal plans online at kucuisine.com, as well as at the dining facilities.
Students can use these plans, which range in price from $2,324 to $1,574 per year, at any of the dining halls around campus.
Each plan comes with a certain number of meals per week.
Meals not eaten by the end of each week expire, leaving students, and their parents, paying for food that's not consumed.
"I spent so much money on that meal plan, just to go out and spend more on food since I couldn't use it," Boyce said. "It was such a waste."
The KU Cuisine plan aims to make such waste a thing of the past.
After the original amount is used, students can add more to their accounts with a $20 minimum. The account balance is displayed after each transaction so students always know what is in their account.
SCOOTERS
By Richard Gintowt rgintowt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Club will educate motorists
A scooter club is forming at the University of Kansas, and its founders have big goals for their tiny vehicles
First on the Scooterhawks' agenda is trying to convince city leaders to allow people to park their scooters on city sidewalks.
Luke Middleton, club sponsor and staff member at the Policy Research Institute, said he avoided downtown
because he feared the $30 ticket that came with parking on a sidewalk
"If you took up a whole spot with a scooter you'd be tarred and feathered," he said. "Someone would pull in and crunch it."
Middleton formed the club in July with Falestine Afani Ruzik, Minneapolis senior. He said the club would have meetings to discuss scooter parking, safety and maintenance issues.
Ruzik said she was inspired to start the club after vandals hot-wired, joy-rode and trashed her scooter, a 2003 Yamaha
Zuma, that cost more than $2,000
"I'm very paranoid," Ruzik said. "I thought it was impossible to steal a scooter because to hot-wire it you literally have to take it apart — which is what they did."
Ruzik will teach club members about scooter safety and theft prevention. The club will also have maintenance sessions and fun rides.
"I have this motto: If you want to be treated like a car, you have to act like one." Ruzik said. "No darting around buses and pulling dangerous moves
just because you're little."
Middleton is also planning a scooter rally in October.
"I thought it'd be neat for the city of Lawrence to see a hundred scooters drive down Massachusetts Street," he said. "Then they'd know we were here."
The Scooterhawks will have their first meeting at 6 p.m. on Aug.26 in the International Room of the Kansas Union.

Brad Ekstrom, Palatine, Ill., senior, parks his bike in front of Budig Hall and uses a U-lock to secure the bike while on his way to his morning class. Ekstrom rode about eight minutes to Budig and had never thought his bike would be unsafe. He said people on campus were friendly and he'd never seen anyone trying to steal a bike.
TRANSPORTATION
Bicyclists roll over laws
Riders responsible for obeying rules on campus
By Brandon Baker
baker@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
At the entrances to campus, cars without passes must turn around and find alternate routes during closed campus hours.
Bike riders can zoom past without a word. However,riders will follow the same rules as cars while on campus
Chris Keary, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office, said riders were responsible for obeying all rules applicable to cars. Keary said the most common violation was failure to stop
at a stop sign. Campus police can issue a ticket to a rider for not stopping at a posted intersection. The ticket is the same for not stopping at a stop sign while driving a car—$92 per violation.
"Whenever someone runs a stop sign and it has caused an accident, when a car and a bike is involved, the biker is the loser," Keary said.
Jill Kuhnheim, Spanish professor, said she did rolling stops at stop signs on her bike, and doubted she would get caught. Other than rolling stops, Kuhnheim said she obeyed all other traffic laws.
Steven Phipps, Galena senior, said he always ran the stop sign at the intersection of West Campus Road and Memorial Drive. He had even ran the sign behind a campus police car, but didn't know he could get a ticket for it.
"Now you've got me kind of worried." Phipps said. "I don't think I'm going to go through stop signs anymore."
Carlos Von Montfort, graduate teaching assistant from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, said he was aware of the threat of a ticket and always stopped at the signs. Von Montfort said he rode his bike to school because he didn't like cars, but understood that bikers on campus got away under the lax rules. He said he thought bikers would follow the rules more if they had more information.
Von Montfort and Kuhnheim said they felt safe leaving their bikes locked up on campus. Both riders use U-locks.
Von Montfort said he thought no one would steal his bike on campus, not just because of the lock but because people on campus have respect for each other's property.
respector even better Keary said bike theft has declined but it was still important that students lock their bikes with U-locks because they are more secure than chain locks.

Through word of mouth, scholarship hall residents discovered that their days of free laundry services were at an end.
The Department of Student Housing signed a new three-year contract to install coin-operated, industrial washers and dryers in the 10 scholarship halls at the University of Kansas. The contract also includes replacing
machines in the residence halls. Prices for the residence halls will remain at 75 cents per load, but scholarship hall residents will have to pay an expected 25 cents per load.

At the end of the spring semester, the department's contract with Jetz Service Co., Inc. expired. The department submitted a request for proposals to area laundry companies then signed with Coinmach, based out of Kansas City, Mo. It is a $30,000 investment for
Coinmach to install machines in the scholarship halls.

TRADITIONS
Whistle's blow signals end of class, tradition
Officials work to perfect pitch of new whistle
By Annie Berneth

Thar'she blows.
The steam whistle students use as an excuse to pack up and leave at the end of a class has been a tradition at the University of Kansas since 1912.
It's a tradition with little reason, but is important to the University and its students, both old and new.
The first whistle blew from 1912 to around 1953 and was replaced with a second whistle that lasted until this year.
After it blew its last bit of steam last January, George Cone, assistant director of mechanical systems and utilities, began the hunt for a new whistle.
He found a company in Cincinnati that manufactured whistles. He then chose from 50 different whistle tones on a Web

site before deciding on the George M. Verity whistle.
Aaron Richardson of Richardson's Landing in Cincinnati built the new whistle.
The new whistle, made out of steel and bronze, contains four individual whistles, and should last for a long time, Cone said.
Donations paid for the new whistle, which cost around $4.000, Cone said.
Vernon Haid, physical plant supervisor for Facilities Operations said he now understood the significance of the whistle to
the University.
"We didn't know how important it was to the campus before it broke," he said.
Facilities operations workers are trying to set the right tone of the new whistle and should have it perfected by the start of fall classes, Cone said.
Cone said they once tried blowing the whistle for 10 seconds, but thought it was too long.
"Seven seconds is about right," he said.
Cone said the longevity of the whistle depended on the quality of the steam and its general upkeep and cleaning.
This year's incoming freshman will soon be relying on the whistle to signify the beginning and ending of classes. And with the new whistle, students are sure to hear it for years to come.
"It's just tradition," Haid said.

KIOSKSUBMISSIONS
The University of Kansas literary journal *Kiosk* could offer something for your stereo this fall.
Jessica Chapman, Lenexa senior and editor-in-chief of Kiosk this year, said she would be pushing local businesses hard for donations to fund a CD of student music for the fall issue. She said students could submit songs on CD to the English Department mail room, 3114 Wescoe.
"If we don't raise enough money to cover the project in the fall, we'll carry over the money we do raise and push even harder for the project this spring," Chapman said.
Kiosk is a free product put out
Submit written works by e-mail to thekioskku@hotmail.com. The deadline is Tuesday, Sept. 23, by noon. Submissions can also be made to the English Department Mailroom, 3114 Wescoe. Include your name, KU ID number and title.
by students that features fiction and poetry written by students once a semester. Chapman has been on the staff of Kiosk for three years and is now taking control in her senior year. She said one of her main goals was to raise more money.
"This past year we started heavily soliciting Lawrence businesses for donations and we received more support than ever before," she said. "I'm hoping this will only increase this year."
Kiosk also received funding from the Student Senate and English department.
Chapman said editors would listen to the CD submissions and then decide on the best entries for the CD, which would come with the written work free.
Last year's editor, Tabatha Beerbower, Fort Scott senior, said all of her experiences at Kiosk benefited her.
"I love showing copies of Kiosk to potential employers and being able to say that I oversaw production," she said. "Working on Kiosk can benefit any student, no matter what the experience is."
Kiosk prints between 1,500 and 2,000 copies a semester.

CONSTRUCTION
Tunnels not common knowledge
By Maggie Newcomer
mnewcomer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
There are a lot of things the average student probably doesn't know about the University of Kansas. Mount Oread used to be called Hogback Ridge. Helium was first detected in Bailey Hall in 1905. And there is an extensive tunnel system underneath campus that has strict security enforced by the University.
Jim Long, vice provost of facilities planning and management, said some of the tunnels, which contain utility, communication and sewer systems, had been in place since the University was established in 1864.
Joe Friday, design and construction management, said the University continually updated the tunnel system through maintenance and expansion.
Because of security, Friday could not reveal exactly where the tunnels are or how to access them. He said unless someone was looking for the tunnels, they probably wouldn't even see them.
"It's our entire infrastructure," Friday said.
Friday said Facilities Operations restricted who had access to the tunnels so the team knew who to ask if there was a problem.
"It's keeping honest people honest," Friday said.
The security became even tighter after the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, Friday said.
He could say that the tunnels stretch from the Kansas Union to West Campus.
"There are no tunnels in the stadium," Friday said. "Believe it or not."
Workers rarely needed to go into the tunnels to work, Friday said, and if anyone did, it would be employees of the communications companies or Facilities Operations.
"Only if there is a problem," Friday said.
The University is working on an energy conservation system with CMS Viron Energy to make the steam heating system in the tunnels more efficient.
Friday said he didn't know the benefits of the energy conservation plan because it wasill in early stages.
The construction along Jayhawk Boulevard during the summer was improving some of the tunnels, Friday said. There had been damage to some of the tunnels and new communication cables needed to be installed.

Incoming freshmen Katherine Blaise, Overland Park, and Robert Berger, Olathe receive free T-shirts from Nick Lambert, Minneapolis junior, as part of orientation activities at the Kansas Union. Blaise and Berger attended orientation this summer, although the program runs throughout the entire summer.
The University lifestyle equals freedom for many college freshmen. Being away from mom and dad may seem like a paid vacation, but with independence come new responsibilities and opportunities.
Colleen Stockton will begin her second year at the University of Kansas this fall. She said she would never forget her first year at KU.
"Going from a small high school to a place with more than 20,000 students was definitely a transition." Stockton said.
Stockton, Wichita sophomore, said meeting new people and making all her own decisions were invaluable parts of the college experience.
"I went potluck for a roommate," Stockton said. "Some
people are scared to do that, but I had a really good experience."
"That's part of the fun of meeting people," Robertson said.
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing, said the majority of freshmen living in residence halls go potluck, meaning they let the housing department choose their roommate for them.
Robertson said the biggest tip she could give someone moving into a residence hall was to be flexible and to enjoy the diversity. She said the more open students are, the more enjoyable their experiences will be.
Brooke Weidenbaker, Topeka sophomore, said storage space was a problem in her Corbin Hall room.
"Only bring clothes you know you'll need," Weidenbaker said. "Because the closets are really small."
Weidenbaker also advised first-year students to get as much studying done during the day as possible, so nights are free for social activities.
Zach Bloom, Chicago freshman, spent the summer at the University's Freshman Summer Institute before starting his freshman year. He said with a little time management, he had no problem keeping up with class and enjoying the Lawrence night life.
"It's like Cancun here," Bloom said.
Tammara Durham, associate director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, agreed
"It's easy to be intimidated when you have a 1,000-person class. But it's your responsibility to talk to your professors and get the work done."

"It's okay to ask for help."
Durham said. "It's a big transition."
Stockton said she noticed a more relaxed attitude in her college classes than her high school classes.
"It's easy to be intimidated when you have a 1,000-person class," Stockton said. "But it's your responsibility to talk to your professors and get the work
done. If you ask for help, they'll help you."
Durham said a common problem for freshmen was becoming involved in too many or too few campus activities. She said time management can be an issue for students who were involved in high school activities. Durham said the key was finding the activities that suit the individual.
College independence includes another, slightly more common, pitfall. For many, it's the first time to be independent financially.
Brenda Maigard, director of the Office of Financial Aid, said the biggest pieces of advice she could give first-year students were to be aware of their financial situation and to be involved in finding financial aid.
Maigaard added that the financial aid office, like all other offices at the University, was always open and willing to help students.

Saferide to add vehicles in fall
By Donovan Atkinson and Joe Hartigan datkinson@kansan.com jhartigan@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
University of Kansas students will have more options for latenight transportation starting in the fall. Saferide, the taxicab service for students, is expanding the number of vehicles in operation.
"Right now, with wait times as they are, we're pretty much at the peak of where we would be," said Tim Akright, KU student transportation coordinator. "So we need to expand."
The program's expansion is designed to provide faster, more efficient service. Akright said some students became discour
aged with Saferide after waiting long periods of time for an available driver.
The plans for expansion include increasing the number of available drivers on Thursday through Saturday to 10 drivers. Currently, the program operates with seven drivers on those days. The number of drivers may also increase on other days of the week to correspond with usage.
"We're just trying to meet demand," Akright said.
The expansion is not without costs. Students will be required to pay an additional $2 as part of their campus transportation fee. Last year the fee was $16; for fall 2003, it will increase to $18.
"Two more dollars is nothing

compared to the thousands of dollars we're paying for tuition, especially if it helps save lives," Jake Skinner, Manhattan, Mont., sophomore.
During the week, Saferide mainly transports students home from campus.
The service also provides rides for students who have been drinking. Saferide will only take students to their homes and only operates within Lawrence city limits.
A valid KU ID must be presented to the driver. Saferide can be reached at 864-SAFE (7233)

Commuting board losing luster
By Kevin Wiggs
kwiggs@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It is posted in the Kansas Union for students,but,like many advertisements,it is overlooked by many.
The Travel and Commuter Board was put in the Union so students could share rides to locations around the country. But now it collects dust.
No one knows exactly when and why it was started, but David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, said it had been there for over 30 years.
"It was very popular 10, 20, 30 years ago," he said. "I don't know if it has the same appeal today. Its hey day was quite a while ago."
Students wanting rides or willing to drive somewhere can fill out cards and place them in the appropriate box. The board on the left is for students that want to ride or drive to Kansas City metro area. The board on the right is for people that want to go somewhere farther away, from Seattle to Miami and San Diego to Maine.
Mucci said it was used most during Spring Break and Thanksgiving, when people want to commute to their hometowns. It was also used frequently by international students that want to explore different parts of the United States.
Vivian Lee, Lenexa graduate, filled out a card to travel to San Francisco, but never got a
response.
"I didn't know anyone in San Francisco and it would be nice to have someone from the same school to keep company," she said.
Lee said she wasn't concerned with the danger of giving a ride to a stranger because she thought the University is a nice community. But Mucci said that might be a reason that the board was no longer used.
The board is maintained by Student Union Activities and the Center for Campus Life. SUA restocks the cards when they run out and the Center for Campus Life clears the cards when the board becomes full or outdated.

No-smoking areas in University ignored, few charges reported

Non-smoking doors are reserved for pollution free access to buildings for students. The Department of Human Resources has not clearly defined the punishments for violating these areas with a lit cigarette, but it will look into the matter when a complaint arises.
Smokers lingering outside of buildings can either be a welcome sight or an annoyance for University of Kansas students.
Litter is one complaint voiced by the student body. Lorene Damewood, assistant director of Custodial Services, said all 130 employees on the housekeeping staff had picked up cigarette butts that missed the trash cans or ashtrays.
"It brothers me that people are such slobs," Damewood said. "It looks sloppy to have people throwing trash on campus. There are containers for that."
Damewood said she didn't like the litter and she wouldn't even if she was a smoker.
Amanda Wright, Lawrence graduate student, doesn't smoke and said she didn't think cigarette butts caused a litter problem.
"I haven't noticed too many cigarette butts on campus," Wright said.
The University of Kansas has a no smoking policy in campus buildings, including residence halls and Unions. The Office of the Provost establishes the smoke-free entrances and Facility Operations implements the signs. These entrances create a no smoking area within a 20-foot radius of doorways.
But that doesn't always keep the smokers away.
Frederico Ferrara, professor of political science, said he doubted the University could keep smokers away from the entrances and had never been scorned for smoking near the doors.
"It would be hard for anyone to complain," Ferrara said. "It's pretty crowded out here sometimes."
Ferrara said in Venice, Italy, smoking in campus buildings was common. He went to the University of Pedova for two years and said students there could smoke in the hallways.
"I would smoke in the building if I could," Ferrara said.
The punishment for smoking in the no smoking area is not clearly stated in the University's smoking policy. The department of human resources addresses all complaints or suggestions about these policies.
Ola Faucher, director of human resources, said she received about three complaints per semester about smokers disregarding the posted signs. Faucher said complaints were taken care of within the building.
Melissa Smith, director of health education, said 58 percent of the students from the University surveyed in the National Health Assessment said they had never smoked. The survey also found that only 21.6 percent of the students had smoked in the last 30 days. Twenty percent of students hadn't smoked in more than 30 days.
Brian Powell, Olathe senior, is a smoker and works at the Hawkshop in the Kansas Union. Powell said one in four customers purchased cigarettes. The Hawkshop cigarettes cost $4.90 a pack, no matter what the brand. Powell said he was reluctant to buy cigarettes from the Hawkshop because of the prices.
Powell said he would rather buy a pack of cigarettes at a gas station or at Dillons where the cost isn't as high.
At Dillons, 1740 Massachusetts St., the cheapest pack of cigarettes, Sundance, costs $2.79, while the premium brands, Camel and Marlboro, cost $4.39 a pack.

Lied Center executives consider new multicultural presentations
The Lied Center administra
[A group of dancers in traditional costumes]
"They'll see it's not just what happens on your toes, but about running a dance company and all its facets," Christilles said.
Karen Christilles, associate director of the Lied Center, said this fall dance students would take part in a mentoring program that would allow them to shadow members of the Hubbard Street Dance Chicago troupe.

This fall, the Lied Center will offer a wide variety of entertainment options including a production of The Music Man on Nov.15.
"Look out there and you'll see all of Kansas," said Van Leer, executive director of the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive. "That's why I'm doing what I do—for Kansas."
Peering through the Lied Center's sweeping, second-story windows, Tim Van Leer said his motivation for working as executive director of the center was out on the horizon.
But rather than simply watching performances from box seats, students have received opportunities to work one-on-one with the touring artists.
Van Leer and his staff have taken that idea to heart by going beyond the glitzy stage sets of shows like Cabaret into the day-to-day life of Lawrence residents.
For the past 10 years, Kansas audiences have witnessed everything at the center, from the murderous divas of Chicago to the gravity-defying acrobatics from the Dynamo Theatre, an internationally renowned theater company.
For the past 10 years, audiences have witnessed everything at the Lied Center, from the murderous divas of Chicago to the gravity-defying acrobatics from the Dynamo Theatre.
tion has already interacted with the Chicago troupe by commissioning a dance performance, which the dance company will premiere Oct. 4.
"To a certain extent, you have to have faith and trust," Van Leer said. "We do. We are confident that what they are going to end up putting together is going to be something, that when the audience sits down and sees it, they will respond to."
Responding is what the center's staff has sought from the student body at both the University of Kansas and at Haskell Indian Nations University.
For the third year, Lauren Stewart, Wichita junior, will serve on the Friends of the Lied committee, which helps select the center's cultural events.
"We don't really have so
much to do with the programming because that doesn't get put on immediately," Stewart said. "It's just great to represent the students, particularly with the educational opportunities."
Haskell students have a long history with the center as well.
In 1903, a Haskell band played in the Lied Center's first Concert Series and has continued that creative tradition.
This year, traditional Native- American drummers from Haskell will collaborate with Yamato, Japanese Waidako drummers. The two groups will exchange techniques with traditional Native-American drummers as KU percussion students observe.
Christilles said that incorporating Haskell students was a way to break down walls between different cultures.
"We certainly can't do everything," Christilles said. "But it's something we can become more conscious about."

Conference to prepare new students for work
Resource Center holds meeting for diverse students
Freshmen and first-year transfers will get a jump-start on networking with potential employers on Sept. 10.
For the second year, the Multicultural Resource Center is sponsoring a Student Success Conference, geared toward students who represent the diverse cultural, racial, ethnic and religious community.
By Amy Kelly akelly@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Tony Daniels, associate director of Multicultural Affairs, said this fall's conference would differ slightly from last year's setup, which focused on acclimating students to the setting at the University of Kansas.
"There is more of an educational component involved this year," Daniels said. "We're really hoping to start relationships with corporate sponsors."
Daniels said the main goal of the conference would remain the same: to officially send out a welcome from the Multicultural Resource Center.
But this year the center plans to add a Post-KU Orientation element, which would guide students to employment possibilities.
Corporate sponsors such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Philip Morris U.S.A. will be on hand to speak with students about what qualities they seek in their employees.

Yana Delkhah, Lawrence sophomore and a peer adviser at the Multicultural Affairs department, said her own orientation experience eased the transition into college life.
Around 100 students attended last year's Student Success Conference, but Daniels expected that number to grow with the Post-KU Orientation aspect.
Daniels said that all first-year transfers or freshmen could attend the conference, not only minority students.

Campanile represents history
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
The Campanile houses a 53-bell carillon, a stationary set of bells hung in the 120-foot tall tower. The Campanile became a part of the University of Kansas in 1951.

We've all heard those lulling bells chiming in the distance while walking on campus, but there's a story behind the music.
The Campanile has been a part of the campus since its dedication in 1951. Inside the 120-foot monument is a 53-bell carillon, a stationary set of bells hung in a tower and usually played from a keyboard, which was cast by the John Taylor Bellfoundry of Loughborough, England, from 1950 to 1951.
The Campanile was built to honor the 276 students who died in World War II. The names of each of those fallen students are engraved in the Virginia Greenstone on the east and west walls of the Memorial Room, which is at the base of the tower. The names of people who donated money to the Campanile are also listed in the Memorial Room. The names of bell donors are engraved in the bells that hang from the top.
After extensive renovations funded by John and Keith Bunnel in 1996, the Campanile was rededicated.
The largest bell within the tower, weighing more than 13,000 pounds, was dedicated to the memory of Olin Templin by the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Templin served as executive secretary for many years at the Endowment Association and was a KU alumnus.
He returned in 1890 to become the University of Kansas' first professional philosopher and established what are now the departments of philosophy, sociology and
psychology.

Berghout is responsible for teaching students, and a few non-students, to play the carillon.
"It's a great pleasure to be teaching and playing the bells," she said.
Students spend one-on-one time with Berghout for a half hour once a week in a practice room half way up the tower 30 steps up to be exact. When the students feel comfortable with their pieces, they can then move up the tower for the real deal.
"It's so much fun to play," Berghout said.
She plays concerts throughout the school year. At 5:00 p.m. on Sundays and 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, listeners can rest on the hill between the Campanile and Memorial Stadium for the best sound, although the music can be heard all through campus.
Berghout gives tours of the Campanile after concerts, but if you're afraid of heights, stay on the ground.

Nick Erker is doing his part to inject spirit into University of Kansas students. Actually, he's going above and beyond the call of duty.
Erker, Wellington senior, is about to embark on his first year of entertaining crowds at KU football, basketball and even swimming competitions. Erker, along with Ross Jungers, Prior Lake, Minn., senior, and Chris Veit, Overland Park senior, will take turns performing as "Big Jay" during the 2003-04 school year.
But the Jayhawk didn't become visible until 1912 when
The Jayhawk was one of the most recognizable college mascots in history. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said.
The mythical animal is a combination of two birds—the blue jay, a noisy bird known to rob other birds' nests, and the sparrow hawk, a hunter—connected with the University since the football team first took the field in 1890.
Robert Hemenway says, "Wherever I go, when people learn I am from Kansas University, they usually respond, 'Oh, the Jayhawks,'" Hemenway said.
The name "Jayhawk" is believed to have been coined in 1848, according to University Relations.
drew the first image of the bird with long legs and shoes.
The Jayhawk was modified six times during the next 34 years until, in 1946, Harold D. Sandy came up with the design of a smiling Jayhawk. This design has survived for 57 years.
Sandy sold his design to the University for $250 in 1947, when it was copyrighted.
Paul Vander Tuig, licensing administrator for KU Memorial Unions, said Sandy continued to be supportive of the University

Vander Tuig said he thought the Jayhawk had enjoyed such a long life because of alumni's KU pride and the Jayhawk's "great colors."
"It's got what I call 'All-American colors,'" Vander Tuig said.

"It's a less is more concept," Vander Tuig said.
Not just anyone could buy the right to reproduce Jayhawks, though. Vander Tuig said. He said he looked for unique designs, such as a glow-in-the-dark T-shirt that he approved last year.
Vander Kugel Erker said he was looking forward to being, what he considered, the most unique mascot around and continuing the great Jayhawk tradition for a new generation of fans.
"A figurehead, if you will," Erker said.
Erker said there would be nothing like getting the crowd going at the games. One thing he could do without, though, was the temperature inside the Jayhawk suit.
"It's extremely hot inside the suit." Erker said. "It weighs about 20 pounds, but then it absorbs your sweat and it adds 10 more pounds."

Quest for parking continues to burden community
Students can pay for parking tickets in person at the parking department, mail the payment or drop off the amount in the red fine boxes around campus. Parking passes went on sale yesterday.
Parking department offers drivers advice on avoiding tickets, towing at University
By Jennifer Wellington
jwellington@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Last year, the University of Kansas parking department issued 66,146 tickets for illegal parking on campus. Students can prevent a parking ticket by knowing about the department's regulations and following its rules.
There are 21 classes of permits available to faculty, students, staff and visitors. Permits are color-coded by zones or lots. Gold, blue, red, motorcycle, moped and University housing lots are restricted to permit holders Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Illegal parking in one of those lots could result in a $20 fine or higher, said Donna Hultine, director of parking services.
Parking permits are typically oversold, making it difficult to find parking in the student housing parking lots.
"You never know if you're going to luck out and get a spot."
Theresa Steffens
Lenexa junior
Theresa Steffens, Lenexa junior, received a parking ticket last year for illegally parking on campus and said she had problems with the parking department at the University.
"It's so frustrating sometimes because they sell more passes than there are spots," she said. "You never know if you're going to luck out and get a spot."
Steffens, who lived in Lewis last year, found many problems with parking on Daisy Hill.
with parking on Darryl "We need a parking garage for yellow parking permits and one for the dorms on the hill," she said. "It would make life a whole heck of a lot easier."
Steffens is living off-campus this year and is glad she won't have to worry about parking on Daisy Hill anymore.
It's going to be especially bad with Ellsworth opening back up." she said.
Students who receive a parking ticket can pay by check or credit card. Checks can be mailed to the parking department or put in red fine boxes, which are located around campus.
Failure to pay tickets could result in students not being able
to enroll or even having their cars towed, Hultine said.
Each semester, the department puts "holds" on student's enrollment papers if they have unpaid parking tickets. A student is unable to enroll the following semester until the tickets are paid.
If a student had more than three unpaid tickets, Hultine said, the department could tow the car from campus — even if it is parked legally.
"I encourage students to come in and talk to us if they're having problems with getting

tickets." Hultine said. "We can offer them parking alternatives."
If a permit is lost or stolen, the department charges the full price for a new permit.
Hultine said many students lose their permits at the beginning of the year.
If students lose their permit, the parking department can issue them a 10-day courtesy permit. This allows students time to look for the pass before investing in a new one, Hultine said.
Students can pick up parking passes starting Sunday, Aug. 17. The department is open from 7:30 a.m.to 5:30 p.m.

University's unique station secure
By Amy Kelly akelly@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When KJHK's staff heard 96.5 The Buzz faced a possible switch in format from alternative rock to sports talk radio, the team could breathe a collective sigh of relief. The Man no longer posed a threat to the 28-year-old KU radio station.
Even though the Buzz dodged an early demise after a month of uncertainties, KJHK continued to roll out the tunes without ever having to care about the woes associated with commercial radio.
True, most of the station's employees aren't paid, but they
do have full reign of the playlists. For DJJs with "special programs," anything goes — from Latin-flavored jazz to death metal.
Even rotation DJs, who are required to play two songs from specific albums every 20 minutes, select the remaining tunes to fill their sets.
Peter Berard, station manager and DJ from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, said even the required songs the staff played were not Britney Spears tunes.
Matt Beat, Augusta senior, said the first time he heard KJHK he wanted to be a part of the station. He has now worked there two years, doing everything from production jobs to promotions.
He has a prime DJ shift from 3
p. m. to 5 p.m. on Thursdays, but said he had a less than ideal time slot in the beginning.
Beat said the DJs' love for what they did made the early mornings worth it.
"All new jocks get crappy shifts," Beat said. "I had the 5 to 8 a.m. on Saturday, but I came in every day."
Because more than 95 percent of the KJHK staff does not get paid, Berard said it was the musical autonomy that was the motivating force.
Last spring, the station's future was uncertain, but adviser Gary Hawke said the School of Journalism would still fund KJHK in the fall.
The station looked to other
funding options because of both the spring budget crunch and the small number of actual journalism majors at KJHK.
Even if the station did have to find a new source of funding in the future, Berard said the audience shouldn't worry.
"If anything changes behind the scenes," Berard said. "The listeners would be able to tell."
Whether he would leave behind the freedom of KJHK for the instability of commercial radio is uncertain at this point.
"It would have to be on my terms, it's so far away from the ethic of how KJHK works," Berard said.

FACULTY SHORTAGE
School lacks Spanish teachers, classes
By Annie Bernethy

Kansan staff writer
Kathryn Tuttle, director of freshman-sophomore advising, said the lack of qualified Spanish teachers was challenging.
Students looking to take Spanish this fall may find themselves waiting or having to take a different language. The effects of a nationwide shortage of Spanish teachers have found their way to the University of Kansas.
"We're getting students to look at other options," she said.
The alternative options for students are either taking the class in a later semester or taking another language.
Schools within the University
are adjusting to the lack of classes.
Linda Davis, associate dean of journalism, said the School of Journalism was relaxing its admission requirements for students applying to the school.
She said she didn't want the fact that students hadn't fulfilled the language requirement to prevent them from being admitted into the school. Four semesters of foreign language are still a requirement to graduate. Davis said, but it was important that students weren't prevented from taking other needed classes.
It is important for students to continue taking classes like Spanish early in college, rather then forgetting what they had
talking to. "I'm afraid for students," she said.
learned in high school and taking it later, Davis said.
"My sense is that it started about four or five years ago," she said. "The Hispanic population in this country is growing and Spanish is seen as an important language that is useful in jobs."
Lee Skinner, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said she had noticed more students trying to get into her Spanish classes at the beginning of each semester.
Kim Wilcox, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the college was doing the best it could to find qualified Spanish teachers to come to the University.
Student interest in Spanish had grown nationwide over the years, not just at the University.
Vicky Unruh, associate chair of Spanish and Portuguese, said her department sympathized with all the students struggling to get into classes.
he said.
In the fall of 1998, there were 125 Spanish majors. By the fall of 2002, the number of majors had grown to 329. In addition, around 15 full-time faculty members worked for the department in 1998, but by 2002 that number decreased to almost 11 members.
She cited a rise in Spanish majors and a decrease in faculty members as the problem.
"The administration works with what they have," she said.

Helium to Pluto: A beginner's guide to KU's history

Kansan staff writer
In 1905, two KU chemistry professors, Hamilton P. Cady and David F. McFarland, discovered helium.The discovery was the result of two years of extensive research at Bailey Hall, then named Chemistry Hall.
Whether it was students discovering helium in Bailey Hall or plans to make Wescoe Hall into a parking garage, the University is alive with traditions history and myths.
Before the discovery, the scientific community had assumed that helium was present only in the sun and in trace amounts of a mineral called clevite.
Twenty five years later, in 1930. C l y d e Tombaugh, a 24-year-old a m a t e u r astronomer from Burdett, positively identified Pluto. He would eventually enter and graduate from the University with Whether it was students discovering helium in Bailey Hall or the original plan to make Wescoe Hall into a parking garage, the University is alive with traditions, history and myths.
versity with an astronomy degree.
One of the biggest traditions at the University is the "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" chant.
KU chemistry professor E.H.S Bailey, along with the University's Science Club, began the first draft of the cheer in 1886, chanting "Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KSU." In the late 19th century, KU and KSU were used interchangeably. Within a year, "Rah, Rah" morphed into "Rock Chalk."
Over the years, students kept the cheer alive, adapting it to what is heard today at basketball games or graduation.
Before the excitement and tradition of basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse, students attended games in Hoch Auditorium.
Students could only purchase even or odd tickets, attending every other game instead of attending all, said Alice Moore, graduate intern in charge of Student Ambassadors.
Student Ambassadors, a program run through the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, helps inform incoming students about the history of the University.

Through campus tours, student volunteers lead discussions about the University's buildings, statues and former students.
"Students say it gives the campus something more than academics," Moore said. "And parents think all the information is interesting."
Students and parents find the traditions of Allen Fieldhouse and the history of Wescoe and Strong halls interesting, she said.
Wescoe Hall, known to students for its "beach," was originally supposed to stand 25 stories tall.
Two stories were to be dedicated to parking, two stories for classrooms and an additional 21 stories for faculty offices.
Strong Hall took 14 years to build.
Because of the increase of students attending the University, the administration wanted a building to house additional offices and classrooms.
The first section, called the "East Ad," was competed in 1911.
However that same year, the state legislature failed to provide enough funds to build the rest of the hall. The rest of the building sat dormant for six years.
It was not until 1917 that the University secured enough money to begin building the rest of the hall. By 1918, "West Ad" was completed and the "Center Ad" was completed in 1923.
Over the years, students faculty and alumni have molded the University into what it is today.
Every building and statue is alive with tradition and history many times unbeknown to students.

LIVING COMMUNITIES
Halls offer learning communities
By Jennifer Wellington jwellington@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Freshmen will have the opportunity to embark on new living adventures in residence halls this year.
Five residence halls: Oliver, Ellsworth, Hashinger, McCollum and Lewis, will implement new living communities for students, called Thematic Learning Communities.
While new at the University of Kansas, TLCs have been used at universities such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Evergreen State College in Washington state.
Diana Robertson, associate director of the Department of Student Housing, said programs such as TLC had been successful at these other schools and were a useful retention tool in getting students active in a variety of interests and communities.

"We see them as an academic bonus to the RA, a co-faciliter," Robertson said. "RAs will be able to focus more on discipline and floor community."
The PEs will have separate training from RAs before the residence halls open in the fall, Robertson said, but there will be overlapping times for the PEs and RAs to meet and discuss their plans and boundaries for
the year.
PEs receive free room and board in turn for working with their community.
Linda Dixon, interim thematic learning communities director, said parents and students were receptive toward this new type of living community.

"Parents think its a great idea," she said. "It gets their children connected to a community and, even better, an academic community."
Dixon and Robertson said they were not worried about students getting tired of each other or their theme community.
Robertson said that because there would be other people living on the same floor as each TLC group, it would give them an opportunity to meet other people.
"I would never think it would be a good idea to put all engineers on the same floor," Robertson said.

Resident assistants receive pay raises
HOUSING
By Annie Berneth
aberneth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Discussions between the Department of Student Housing and the RA-Proctor Council has led to the pay raise for resident assistants this fall.
Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director of the Department of Student Housing, said the RA-Proctor Council asked the department last semester to take a look at the salaries of staff members to see if a raise was needed.
RAs typically made $40 bimonthly, plus free room and board. With the new contracts,
staff members who have been resident assistants for a year will make an additional $20 a month.
Scott Wilson, a resident assistant at Lewis Hall, said he was happy about the new agreement
"I feel as though the RAs do a lot and should be rewarded for that," said the Garden City senior.
Wilson said he became an RA because he had a lot to offer students and thought it would be interesting to form a community on the floor.
"I really enjoy that I'm basically getting free room and board to socialize with people, something I would be doing anyway," he said.
Carrie Clopton, Overland Park
"I feel as though the RAs do a lot and should be rewarded for that."
Scott Wilson Garden City senior
junior and resident assistant, said she was looking forward to the pay increase.
"Who's going to turn down more money?" she said.
However, because Clopton became an RA last spring,she must wait until spring semester 2004 for her pay increase.
She decided to become an RA after living in Lewis Hall her freshman year, Clopton said. She
is now an RA in the same residence hall.
"I wanted to be part of the complex," she said. "I really liked the idea of working with the staff and the students."
Clopton became an RA because she wanted to meet other people and plan events. After one semester as an RA in Lewis Hall, Clopton said she enjoyed her time.
"I want to be someone people can come talk to if they have problems," she said.
Members of the RA-Proctor Council could not be reached for comment.

HEALTH
Vending machines to sell healthier products
By Richard Gintowt rgintowt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students will have healthier choices in vending machines this fall.
Phil Spaeth, manager of Treat America Food Services, said
Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services, spearheaded the "Better Bites" plan to put items such as baked potato chips, tuna and chicken salad, dried apples and diced fruit into vending machines on campus.
"A lot of people think they want it but when you put it in machines they don't buy it."

would be more expensive.
Last year, Chapman started the "Fresh & Hearty" plan to get healthier options in residence hall dining centers and the Kansas Union.
"It costs us more so we have to charge more for them," he said.
"Vending was the logical next place to go," Chapman said. "If you're going to love your body then you should put the right food in it."
Chapman's options were limited by a lack of refrigerated vending machines, which meant she couldn't suggest items such as yogurt and string cheese.
"I initially I was disappointed, but I think we've still come up with a lot of good options," she said.

She will be passing out Better Bites samples at the Health Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 27 on the front lawn of Stauffer-Flint Hall.
Chapman said there would be eight Better Bites options in each machine, marked with the Better Bites logo.
"Thekey to making this work is educating students that these options exist." Chapman said.

Kansas Union gains new business, aims to lure restaurants
Concerted effort under way,but a store's success not guaranteed

This year, for the first time ever, students could get a haircut, buy a cell phone and schedule their spring break trip in the Kansas Union. Now they'll also be able to buy Birkenstocks.
Footprints, 1339 Massachusetts St., a local footwear retailer, will open a satellite store in the Union this fall.
Owner Mick Ranney signed a three-year lease June 20 after Pat Beard, director of Building Services, put out an offer to more than 50 local businesses.
"We had tapped our creativity and kind of threw it open." Beard said. "We're not doing it to make a lot of money as much as to provide a service."
service. The store, which will be located on the third floor of the Union between Great Clips and T-Mobile, will serve as an outlet shop for Footprints' downtown location, 1359 Massachusetts St.
Footprints' arrival in the Union follows on the heels of three businesses — Great Clips, STA Travel and T-Mobile — that opened shop within the last year.
The influx of business reflects a landmark effort from Union directors to offer

more services within the Union and increase student traffic.
Students should also have more dining options in the fall. The Union is accepting submissions from local restaurants to take over the Prairie Cafe, located on the third floor, and a coffee and snack bar in the first floor Hawk's Nest.
If past ventures are any indication, the success of these ventures should not be taken for granted.
Upperclassmen may recall the end of Mailboxes Etc.'s two-year tenure in the Union in December 2001. Beard had solicited the business' presence after the Union's 10-year-old postal station closed because of postal service cutbacks.
The gamble did not pay off. Mailboxes Etc. never generated a profit and turned the business over to the Union after six months.
Beard said the Memorial Corporation lost about $30,000 on the venture.

Army ROTC students navigate an obstacle course last spring. In preparation for future careers in the military, a group of 10 University of Kansas students spent the summer at the National Advanced Leadership Camp in Fort Lewis, Wash.
RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS
Military students' journey to West Coast for training
By Amy Kelly
akelly@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
As American soldiers fought in Iraq this summer, 10 University of Kansas students set aside vacation time to take one step closer to leading their own military endeavors as lieutenants.
Juniors and seniors in the Reserve Officers Training Corp for the Army attended the National Advanced Leadership Camp at Fort Lewis, Wash., for the past three months, undertaking physical challenges and military training.
Lt. Col. Brian DeToy, professor of military science, instructed more than 100 cadets, including the 10 KU students, at the camp.
"It is stressful, but it's not a traditional boot camp," DeToy said. "These boys have been familiar with the military for a few years, while the ones at boot camp don't have that previous knowledge."
"It is stressful, but it's not a traditional boot camp."
Lt. Col. Brian DeToy Professor of military science
The upper-class cadets attending the leadership camp learn skills to direct the ROTC, a program which trains about 75 percent of all Army officers and about 75 KU recruits per year.
May graduate Ryan Evans, a 2nd Lt., has assisted Capt. Brad Bohan, recruiting operations officer, at the KU home base this summer in recruiting new students to take on adventures like the camp in Washington.
Evans, who will begin an officer basic training camp for graduates in September, said the recruits he talked with usually became interested in the ROTC on their own.
Even the current violence in
Iraq did not seem to deter recruits,Evans said.
"People here acknowledge it, but it's so far away they realize they most likely won't be in that situation," Evans said.
Although physical endurance was emphasized at Fort Lewis, the ROTC still regarded academics as a key to success.
The recruiters seek out an S.A.L., or someone who is a scholar, athlete and leader.
"We're not just around producing warmongers out there," Evans said. "We're very focused on academics. And we have a lot of fun, too."
But it is when the war in Iraq broke out that cadets like Evans said he understood his career goal had a much deeper impact.
"People out in the community are real happy that you're doing a job that they don't want to or that they can't do," Evans said.

SUA began in 1938 after the University built the Kansas Union as a program to get students to socialize and hang out in the Union.
The KU Memorial Unions, a not-for-profit organization, funds SUA from a portion of its profits from the bookstore, food court and other businesses.
Sixty-five years later, SUA consists of eight committees including spectrum films, feature films, live music, fine arts, forums, public relations, recreation and travel and special events.
The committees meet once a week for one hour to discuss upcoming events.
Each year, SUA passes out student questionnaires and program assessment forms to keep up with the entertainment habits of students.
Whether Dill and his partners open the doors of Anschutz Sports Pavilion to concertgoers, the organization wants students to see a variety of entertainment options at affordable prices.
"I hope that SUA will give students something fun to do," Stewart said. "So often we focus on job, school and work. There is so much more to your college experience."

NBC has 'Friends' spinoff in works for fall TV season
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Friends is paring down to one friend.
Matt LeBlanc will star in a spinoff of the hit NBC comedy that will wrap up a 10-year run with the 2003-04 season, NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker announced July 24.
Joey will take over the 8 p.m. Thursday time slot held by Friends.
"You probably would never have predicted this when it began, but over the evolution of that show Joey has emerged as the character that America roots for and loves," Zucker told the Television Critics Association.
Viewers want "to see what happens to him as his life goes on," Zucker said.
Joey Trbbiani, now a soap star living in New York.

ni, now a soap star living in New York, may move to Los Angeles, Zucker said. The rest of the cast has yet to be determined.
Left out are Friends co-stars Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Courtney Cox Arquette. The Emmy-nominated LeBlanc was the only one approached about a new series, Zucker said.
The castmates had negotiated $1 million- anepisode salaries for all in the ninth season. LeBlanc's pay for Joey was not discussed, but the network release noted his deal calls for him to star in two feature films for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Friends is produced by Warner Bros. Television. LeBlanc's film credits include small roles in the two Charlie's Angels movies, Lost in Space and Ed.
Zucker was asked if continuing suspense over the relationship between Joey and Aniston's Rachel is killed because she's not part of the spinoff. He replied by promising a strong final year for Friends.
"Without giving anything away, I think there are still quite a few surprises in store," he said.
The sitcom's final season will include only 18 new episodes. NBC will round out the season with six episodes from past seasons, with viewers invited to vote for their favorite.
FCC station proposal blocked
LEGISLATION
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - House lawmakers voted July 23, to block a new regulation that would allow individual companies to buy up television stations reaching nearly half the nation's viewers.
The provision, included in a spending bill approved 400-21, would roll back part of a Federal Communications Commission decision overhauling decades-old restrictions governing ownership of newspapers and television and radio stations.
That June 2 ruling by the Republican-dominated FCC was a victory for media companies who sought relaxed rules.
Opponents, from consumer groups to songwriters to small broadcasters, said the changes could lead to a wave of mergers leaving a dwindling number of companies controlling what people see, hear and read.
They are urging Congress to roll

back all the changes, but the House measure only addresses TV station ownership. The FCC voted to allow single companies to own TV stations reaching 45 percent of U.S. households. The House measure would return the cap to 35 percent.
The fight now moves to the Senate, where several lawmakers of both parties want to include a similar provision in their version of the spending bill. Broader rollback efforts also are being considered.
Top Republicans are hoping that, with leverage from the threat of a
first-ever veto by President Bush the final House-Senate compromise bill later this year will drop the provision.
The FCC also allowed individual companies to own more TV stations in some cities and largely ended a ban on one company owning a newspaper and a broadcast station in a community.
The committee voted last month for a bill that would undo much of the FCC changes, including rolling back the ownership cap and reinstating the broadcast-newspaper cross-ownership ban.
Many media companies said the FCC changes were needed because the old restrictions hindered their ability to grow and compete in a market changed by cable TV, satellite broadcasts and the Internet.
The FCC provision was included last week in a $37.9 billion measure financing the departments of Commerce, State and Justice next year.

Among the first releases will be Gangs of New York, The Recruit and The Jungle Book 2.
Plans by Disney to develop a video-on-demand service called MovieBeam this fall were still on, a Disney spokeswoman said.
Unlike Movielink, MovieBeam
would deliver films directly to consumers televisions through a settop box.
Disney will set the retail price for the movie downloads, which typically range between $2.95 and $4.99, Movielink said.
The movie files can be viewed on a PC or on a television connected to a computer, but customers have a maximum of 30 days to begin watching their downloaded movie.
Once they begin to do so, the movie can be viewed only over the next 24 hours.
A computer with a broadband Internet connection is necessary to use the service.

LAUNDRY: Price increased for scholarship halls CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C
issues, not on saving the department money, Stoner said. The money earned from the machines would not go to the department, but rather to the contract vendor for machine upkeep.
Compared to the current residential washers in the halls, the new industrial washers are more environmentally friendly. Existing scholarship hall washers use 31.5 gallons of water per cycle, but industrial washers use only 25.5.
However, Overstreet said the convenience of free laundry outweighed any other benefits. As resident of Watkins Scholarship Hall, Overstreet said that she rarely experienced machine maintenance problems.
Vicente Avila, associate director of maintenance for student housing, said maintenance on scholarship hall washers and dryers consumed a small percentage of the department's workload.
"It's not a big savings," Avila said. "We're saving on the fact that we don't have to furnish the machines."
"I appreciate that the department has listened to complaints they don't have to."
Jennifer Overstreet Maize senior
The department bought two machines for the scholarship halls last year. The machines occupying scholarship halls now will be used by the department to wash uniforms, mops and maintenance materials.
The department would determine the cost per load for the machines, said Katherine Stockbauer, Coinmach regional manager. She said the department worked to keep costs low. She looked into other laundromats near the scholarship halls and found that the closest laundromat charged $1.25 per wash load and 25 cents for eight minutes of drying time.
ing time.
"Students should really consider that," Stockbauer said.
"KU goes out of their way for
students."
The department received phone calls and e-mails from students upset with the loss of free laundry services. So far, Stoner has answered all student concerns personally.
Stoner said in reply to an email from a scholarship hall resident that some operational details need to be resolved. Stoner plans to meet with Overstreet and other members of the All Scholarship Hall Council executive board to discuss proposals. He anticipated all negotiations would wrap up at the end of this month.
"I appreciate that the department has listened to complaints — they don't have to," Overstreet said. "They are willing to listen."
Despite her mixed feelings. Overstreet understood the department's reasoning. However, Overstreet said, from a student viewpoint it appeared the change made things easier for the department at the expense of students.

EDUCATION
Business degrees rise in worth
By Spencer Willig
Daily Pennsylvanian via U-WIRE
University of Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA — Even in times of a less-than-stellar economy, a business degree is seen as a valuable pursuit, according to the results of a recent study.
Sem study Kaplan, the largest provider of test preparation and admission consulting services, released the results of its "2003 Pre-MBA Snapshot," survey last month.
Based on the responses of 654 students nationwide who
prepared for the Graduate Management Admission Test with Kaplan in 2002, the survey found a continued — if not increased — respect for MBAs as a valuable credential, despite a less-than ideal job market.
Fully 55 percent of those surveyed said they believed the MBA was more valuable than it was 20 years ago.
"In every economic down cycle, in every downturn, people go back to school," said Albert Chen, Kaplan Executive Director of Graduate Programs.
"It makes sense—you don't have a job, you want to better yourself and be more competitive."
Chen traced a pattern of credential-building from the '70s to the present, noting that, three decades ago, "you could have a high school diploma, work at Boeing, and work at a job for $80,000."
Recession then forced so many job-seekers into college that, according to Chen, "In the '80s and '90s, the college degree was the status quo degree."
Texas A&M dean won't spare ailing journalism department
EDUCATION
By Melissa Sullivan
The Battalion via U-WIRE
Texas A&M University
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Charles Johnson, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, said he would not reconsider his recommendation to close the Texas A&M University journalism department, despite meeting with former journalism students and members of the journalism industry in July.
Members of the Former Journalists Students Association, The Associated Press, the Dallas Morning News, Bloomberg News, the San Antonio Express-News, Texas Aggie Magazine and other media organizations met with Johnson in hopes that he would reconsider his decision and find a department head or merge journalism with the department of communication.
"It is true not everyone is a journalism major; in fact, I advised students who asked me if it is crucial to be a journalism major and said it is not crucial at all," said Stu Wilk, vice president and managing editor for the Dallas Morning News. "However, it is one thing to not major in journalism and another thing to go to a university that doesn't have a journalism department."
"I did have a fair amount of input from the external review team." he said.
Johnson said when he made his decision he did not consult people in the journalism industry to see how they recruit graduates and what experience they are looking for.
A consulting team evaluated the journalism program in 2001 to suggest possibilities for the
"However, it is one thing to not major in journalism and another thing to go to a university that doesn't have a journalism department."

department.
Johnson said he consulted other universities, but did not reach out to those who taught on the high school level to see what they looked for when recommending a journalism program.
Sue Smith, deputy managing editor and recruiter for the Dallas Morning News, said she employed graduates with a variety of degrees, but that they come from schools that have journalism programs.
"I think there is a lot you can learn through the journalism department, even if it is not your major," she said.
John Lumpkin, Dallas bureau chief for The Associated Press, said he went to the University of Virginia, a school that did not have a journalism program, and has been successful, but that he would not be hired by the AP in today's competitive market.
"How I am is a fluke," he said.
Lumpkin said other schools were moving forward because the journalism industry is getting broader.
He said the students in the next generation needed to have special skills, and that the schools that offer training for
those skills are the ones that are building new media labs.
"Those are the schools who will produce the talent for the industry's needs," he said.
Johnson acknowledged the importance of internships and said he wanted the journalism industry to provide a pathway to provide them to students.
Loren Steffy, FISA president, said media outlets received hundreds of internship applications, and a student without a journalism degree is at a disadvantage because of the fierce competition each year.
"I'm not saying a student will not get the internship," he said. "But it sure makes it tougher."
Smith said students had to be encouraged to go and find an internship, something that the Texas A&M journalism department does not do very well. It is crucial for a journalism department to emphasize the importance of an internship at the freshman level, she said.
"They are going to have to have had experience in a professional setting, by that I mean a newsroom. That is what we are looking for," she said. "I had one student last year who did not have professional experience, and it did not work out well."
Johnson said he was too far along in the decision process to consider any additional discussions.
He is looking forward to the transition process to take place over the next few years and said he wanted former journalists to assist him.
The Texas Board of Regents will make a final vote on the issue, but it is unclear when that will be.

Institute preserves Dole's legacy
1987

Former Sen. Bob Dole and Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-North Carolina) wave to the crowd during the formal dedication ceremony for the Robert J.Dole Institute of Politics.The Dole Institute opened July 22.

Kansan staff writer
July 22 marked two more significant events in former Sen. Bob Dole's life. He celebrated his 80th birthday with Tom Brokaw, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and former President Jimmy Carter, and he attended the formal dedication of his building, the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Tom Brokaw emceed the dedication in front of the Dole Institute July 22. He said the dedication and the building were a tribute to "an native son of Kansas and the great political system he was so proud to be a part of."
Former President Carter took the stage to a standing ovation and spoke to the crowd about the "greatest generation." He said the greatest generation might not be the people who fought in World War II and worked after the war to rebuild the United States, but rather the "greatest generation" were those who preserved peace in America.
The crowd welcomed National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. Rice, who lives in the same building as Dole and his wife, Elizabeth, in Washington D.C., said she admired Dole for his foreign policy issues and his respect for Kansas.
"He never forgot Kansas in his time in D.C.," she said. "You always heard the Kansas in him."
Before taking the role as national security adviser, Rice was a provost at Stanford University, the "KU of California," Brokaw said.
As Dole took the stage near the end of the dedication, the crowd stood and applauded the man Robert Norton-Smith, Dole Institute director, said was
the "youngest 80-year-old" he knew.
In the spirit of friendship, Dole presented Norton-Smith with a plaque, naming him a "true gentleman, scholar, and friend."
Dole also recognized Jack Lucas, a Medal of Honor recipient from Mississippi. Lucas, who fought in World War II, lied about his age and joined the army at age 14. He was awarded the Medal of Honor at age 17. Monday night, before the USO show, Lucas met Dole and said one of his dreams in life was to meet Carter.
"He never forgot Kansas in his time in D.C. You always heard the Kansas in him."
Condoleezza Rice National Security Adviser
Dole brought Lucas up on stage to greet the former president, and after a formal handshake, Lucas gave Carter a big bear hug.
Veterans such as Lucas arp the men the Dole Institute's dedication is honoring, Dole said.
"They're the real reason why we're here," Dole said. "Our ranks may be dwindling, but our memories endure."
He also stressed the importance of the Dole Institute to future students and generations.
"To the young who seek information and inspiration," he said. "Never stop reaching for the stars, no matter the difficulties."
The dedication ended with the crowd's lively rendition of "Happy Birthday."

DEDICATION
Moments of war recalled by many
By Jennifer Wellington
jwellington@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Veterans, alumni, family, friends and a handful of KU students attended the event July 20.
Some came to the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics KU Goes to War program to get out of the 100 degree heat; others came to hear about the changes the University of Kansas and its students went through during World War II.
Twenty-three veterans surrounded the Lied Center stage as Bill Kurtis, KU alum and television broadcaster, moderated a discussion between three veterans and Bill Tuttle, American studies professor.
Tuttle began the discussion with a history of the University during the war. He spoke to "flashbulb memories," or moments in history when people remember everything.
Dec. 7,1941,the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, was one of those moments for KU students,Tuttle said.Many students were opposed to the war before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, he said,but after two University students lost their lives there,attitudes changed.
As the war progressed, Tuttle said, the number of servicemen on campus increased.
The University enacted a trimester system to allow students and servicemen to complete their degrees in two-and-a-half years, instead of four.
Claudine "Scottie" Lingelbach was one of those students. A 1944 graduate, Lingelbach decided during her junior year that she wanted to be "more than a pin-up girl" and joined the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service immediately after college, working in Washington with top-secret documents.
Lingelbach told the crowd about her "flashbulb moment" on Dec. 7, when she was at Watson Library studying.
The third speaker, Richard Schiefelbusch, flew as a navigator on B-24 bomber.
After he left combat, Schiefelbusch came to the University. When asked what he wanted to study, Schiefelbusch said he "wanted to learn how to help people." He majored in clinical speech and psychology and founded the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic in 1949. After 35 years as the director of the clinic, it was renamed The Schiefelbusch Institute for Life Span Studies.
The final speaker, John "Buck" Newsm, was a naval science professor at the University after the war. One of his most vivid memories from the war included a fellow naval officer, Doug Payne, who spent four years during the war dedicated to one ship, the USS Hopkins.
In a tribute to the 23 veterans on the stage with the presenters, an emotional Newsm saluted them and all the other "Doug Paynes" in the building.

Security comes with insurance for renters
Protecting property with extra dollars could save money after disaster strikes
By Richard Gintowt
rgintowt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students moving into rental properties have plenty of fees to worry about: a deposit, the first month's rent and new furniture to name a few.
But an unforeseen disaster could leave renters wishing they had made one more purchase—renters insurance.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, a New York-based trade organization, 73 percent of renters do not have insurance.
The $150 to $300 required to insure property for a year could be a worthwhile investment if renters have items of value.
Dennis Barbour, Kansas City, Kan., senior, lost everything in a fire on July 4, 2001. The fire could have been especially devastating considering that Barbour, a musician, had about $5,000 worth of guitars and amps ruined.
But Barbour and his two roommates had purchased a renter's policy from Farmer's Insurance and recouped about $7,000 apiece.
apiece.
"Without that I wouldn't have had anything," Barbour said.
Most students think they can avoid a major catastrophe, but they're not thinking about their basement flooding or their stuff
getting stolen."
Michele Kessler
Associate director of legal services for students
Michele Kessler, associate director of legal services for students, consults students who lose property in a fire or theft.
Kessler said she came across students with renters insurance only "once in a great while."
"Lots of students don't think they have stuff worth much money, but it doesn't take long to add up." she said. "Most students think they can
avoid a major catastrophe, but they're not thinking about their basement flooding or their stuff getting stolen."
Renters insurance covers personal possessions and liability if another person gets injured in the apartment.
injured in the apartment It can also cover the cost of temporarily living in a hotel if one's dwelling is unlivable.
Alejandra Soto, Insurance Information Institute representative, said taking inventory of possessions before buying a policy was a good idea. The inventory should include receipts from expensive purchases and should be stored in a safety deposit box.
"It's a great way to get in the habit of doing it so you'll know what to do when you buy a home." Soto said.
Students living in residence halls typically do not need renters insurance because they are covered under their parents' homeowners policy.
Most insurance companies offer some form of renters insurance. Insurance companies commonly offer discounted renters policies to auto insurance policy holders, Kessler said.

When Patti Godsey arrived at the University of Kansas in Fall 2000, she was still 17. Her 18th birthday wasn't until mid-September.
"My friends had to sneak me into The Hawk," Godsey said. "They still talk about it."
Now, during her last year at the University, Godsey is quickly approaching her 21st birthday. For the last three
years, the Leawood senior, and other students wary of risking a minor in possession charge, has had to find alternative means of entertainment when she couldn't accompany her ID-blessed friends to the bars.
The Student Union Activities office, in the Kansas Union, offers safe, alcohol-free events to all students. The office organizes movies, comedy shows and concerts that are ideal for students who are under 21-yearsold, said Dawn Shew, SUA program adviser.

Control group cracks down on underage alcohol usage

They roam through bars keeping an eye on all the patrons. They loiter outside liquor stores watchful of everyone who enters or exits. They are your Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, and they have one mission — to keep underage people from drinking.
As the new academic year starts, they are out in full force, with citations ready for the giving.
From July 1,2002 to June 30,2003,the ABC gave 61 minor in possession of alcohol citations, 36 possession of false ID citations and nine furnishing alcohol to minors citations, all in Lawrence.
The Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control is a part of the Kansas Department of Revenue. It was created as part of the Liquor Control Act of 1949.
The act created a system of regulating, licensing and taxing liquor sales. It set the legal drinking age at 21.The ABC continues to enforce the Liquor Control Act and now regulates over 2.600 liquor licenses.
The ABC has 15 agents who patrol the areas where they live in Kansas, said Pete Bodyk, operations officer for the ABC. They go to bars, restaurants, liquor stores and house parties looking for underage drinkers.
"We try to make our presence known," Bodyk said. "We look for where young people hang out and go to as many places as possible."
The ultimate power they have is the ability to take away liquor licenses from bars and stores.

They catch liquor stores by standing outside until a customer walks out and then checks his identification. They can also do "controlled buys" in liquor stores and bars. With "controlled buys," officers send in an underage person to attempt to buy liquor. If the establishment sells it to them, the next week a citation arrives in the mail. It will cost the store $1,000 and the clerk that sold it

Bus riders get new access to routes
By Euron Meditz
emeditz@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Fall students will get to ride Lawrence buses for $20 with T-passes
This semester, students who ride the bus on campus will have the opportunity to ride Lawrence's public transit system as well.
The new T-Pass, on sale with campus bus passes beginning Aug. 18, would allow students unlimited access
to the city's transit system, also known as the T. Tim Akright, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said the partial joining with the T would improve the efficiency of the KU bus system by eliminating overlapping routes.
"The T-Pass will not only serve as a great tool for students, but is also a first step to a more unified Lawrence transportation system," Akright said.
The T-Pass is a sticker for a student's bus pass that costs $20 for an 'academic year. A monthly unlimited access pass for residents to ride the Tis $17. The revenue, aside from set-up
Earlier this month, commissioners eliminated $50,000 of funding for the T when balancing the city's budget. Karin Rexroad, public transit administrator for the city, said the T-Pass program would not change. She said it would be another source of money for the transit system.
the transit system.
"If only 10 percent of the students who have purchased a KU on Wheels pass purchase a T sticker, we would see roughly $16,000 in additional rev-
fees, goes directly to the city transit system.
"Part of the attraction of this is the low price." Akright said.
The Lawrence City Commission approved the plan with little debate in June. Commissioner David Schauner said the new program was a win-win situation, for both KU on Wheels and the T before the commission unanimously approved the proposal.
Akright said he recommended the T-Pass to parents who were concerned about the safety of their freshmen students. The T buses run until 8 p.m. and also run on Saturdays.

Lawrence car break-ins increasing

The frequency of car break-ins has increased slightly over the past three years. After a small dip in 2001, the number of automobile break-ins jumped to a reported 1,000 in 2002.
When Brian Eiswirth left his house on a Monday morning last year, his main concern was sitting through yet another hourlong lecture class. But he spotted something unusual when he glanced at his car. His trunk was open. The Chesterfield, Mo., junior went to investigate and discovered he was a victim of a car break-in.
According to the Lawrence Police Department this has been an increasing trend. In the last three years the number of reported thefts from vehicles has gone from 871 in 2000 to 1,000 last year.
"There's no way of stopping it," said Sgt. Mike Pattrick, Lawrence police representative. "We do the best we can, but until you can find a root cause it will continue."
CAUSES
Pattrick, said there was more than one theory about the increase of reported break-ins. The main reason was an increase in Lawrence population, he said.
Lawrence's population was 77,488 in 1998 and rose to 80,098 in 2000. Numbers for 2001 and 2002 are not yet available.
Although the population increased, the Lawrence police staff has not gained as many new members to deal the growth.
In 1999 there were 123 police officers. The police force has grown by two officers despite a more than $3 million increase in the department's budget.
Pattrick said the budget increased because the increase in pay, like cost of living increase and an increase in technology. The department recently added a new
While break-ins are increasing, other crimes are still a higher priority. Patrick said the department did not educate the public and had not planned to. Officers are more concerned with person crimes, such as assault or rape, rather than crimes done to material belongings.
type of radio to police cars and bought new laptop computers.
Total crimes in Lawrence have gone down over the past three years, according to the department's website. Lawrence had 2,548 reported crimes through March. At that rate there will be less than 11,000 crimes in 2003, the lowest number in 3 years.
"We're interested in all crimes," he said. "But this is a 'non-person' crime and most of our effort and resources are spent on 'person' crimes."
Patrick said the police occasionally implemented a burglary task force, but only when a string of crimes might be related.
Most car burglaries are unrelated and done at night under the cover of darkness, he said.
PREVENTION
Ralph Oliver, University of Kansas Public Safety Office representative, said thieves looked for stereo systems and CD collections. He said break-ins were highest at the beginning of semesters when the KU student population increases, and before Christmas, when cars are packed with goodies and thieves can be desperate for money.
Patrick said break-ins did not occur in one area of town. Rather, thieves look for areas that are dimly lit with multiple cars, where spotting a break-in is more difficult.
As car break-in numbers climb, so do sales of car alarm systems.
Clint Offutt, assistant manager of Pro Sound, 500 E. 23rd St., said sales of car alarms had doubled since he started installing alarms three years ago.
"They've increased dramatically," he said. "People want to protect their investment and are more aware that break-ins are common."

"The most basic alarms do the same as the higher-end alarms," he said. "They are added more for convenience than effectiveness."
Extra features include flashing lights, a back-up battery in case the thief cuts the battery to disable the alarm, and internal sirens that make a noise so loud inside the car that it could deafen an intruder. But Offutt warns that if thieves want what is in a car, there isn't much one can do to stop them.
"If he wants it, he'll get it," Offutt said.
The best thing one can do to protect their car is to park in a well-lit area, keep valuables out of sight and lock the doors. Many thieves simply go from car to car seeing if the doors are unlocked, Patrick said.

Police department giving more tickets
By Kevin Kampwirth and Carole Guillaume editor@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
Last month, Pat Decico left work at 4:45 p.m. as he always does. As he drove down Naismith Drive, he listened to the radio and kept a steady pace of about 4 mph. Just before he got home, it wasn't his radio he heard anymore, but the wail of a police siren.
The Lenexa junior is one of hundreds of drivers who have been affected by the increased traffic patrols in Lawrence since mid-May.
"It's good that they're trying to regulate the speeding, but sometimes it seemed to get a bit excessive," said Ryan Hanley, a resident on the stretch of road.
The stretch of Naismith Drive from 19th Street to 23rd Street, where the speed limit is 30 mph, is one area where traffic patrols have increased their presence. At the peak of the crackdown in mid-to late-May, police pulled over an average of 10 people per day, according to the Lawrence Police Department.
The city decided last year to form a traffic unit in the police department to deal specifically with moving violations. Lawrence police predict that the traffic unit will increase citations by 50 percent from the amount issued in 2000. By 2005, the department wants the number of tickets to double the number from 2000.
"As drivers begin to see that we're serious about this, speeding will go,"said Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department. "The unit will
TRAFFIC PATROLS
The unit was paid for by a federal grant, which goes until October 2005, and is expected to cost $996,815 in its first year. This sum includes, among other things, operating costs, equipment costs totaling $424,103 that includes new police cars and motorcycles, and salary for six officers who each earn about $55,000 a year and a sergeant who earns $75,000. All of the officers in the traffic unit have at least four years of experience in the department.
"It's good that they're trying to regulate the speeding, but sometimes it seemed to get a bit excessive."

basically be issuing tickets for any type of moving violation that they see."
Although the increase in speeding tickets will cut down on speeding in the area, motorists such as Decicco think the speed traps are out of hand.
"It's kind of ridiculous," he said. "It's not like there's a lot of little kids around. I live in a college town and I get an $85 ticket for going 10 over two blocks from my house."
Although the number of speed traps and tickets written has leveled off since mid-June, the traffic unit is still active.

PETS
Pets cost money, time for strapped students

Mandy Peitz, Dodge City senior, owns two dogs and wouldn't have it any other way.
"They're my babies," she said.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE!
Students thinking about pet ownership need to consider all the responsibility and costs included, said veterinarians and humane society workers.
Owning two dogs multiplies the responsibilities and expenses. Peitz takes her pets daily to Mutt Run, a dog park located near the Clinton Lake spill way.
Jared Soares/Kansan
She must also feed her dogs, which costs her about $20 a week.
"They eat more then I do," she said.
KU students who own pets can face a variety of problems after the initial investment for the animal. Sandy Wellman, office manager at Lawrence Veterinary Hospital, 3210 Clinton Parkway, said one year of owning a dog cost more than $250.
Pet owners also must pay for medication. For Peitz, the tab includes a $14-per-dog-per-month bill for Frontline, an antitick and flea medicine, and a $30-per-dog bill for a six-month supply of Heartgard, a heartworm preventative. Spoiled dogs like Pablo and Chulo also get bones and treats, adding to the cost.
Sandy Wellman, office manager at Lawrence Veterinary Hospital, 3210 Clinton Parkway, said the first year of owing a puppy could cost more than $250. Those costs include shots, a fecal examination and a spaying or neutering.
Cats can cost more than $312, including declaring, shots, a leukemia test and a fecal exam.
Wellman said the cost depended on the size and sex of
the animal. For example, it is more expensive to spay a female than to neuter a male.
Unwanted pets often end up at the Lawrence Humane Society. Midge Grinstead, executive director of the humane society, said many students adopted pets.
Only half of the student applications are approved, she said.

When animal control picks up a pet and brings it to the humane society, owners must pay a fee to get them back.

Smith said some parents didn't realize that children didn't go by the professor's schedule, something Misty has seen first-hand.
Now her parents are trying their first semester at the University, balancing school with work and family.
"Dividing time is a huge issue," she said. "They often feel like they are being pulled in two directions."
"Sometimes I wish I would have waited," Misty said. "I could have had the opportunity to do more stuff, like I wanted to study abroad, but this changed my plans. But it's not like I wish it didn't happen."
Debi Smith, psychology intern at Watkins Health Center's Counseling and Psychological Services, said the most important issue students with children faced was rationing time between being a student and being a parent.
Another issue students face is the need for a solid support system to help when being a student and parent becomes too much, Smith said.

"Hilltop is fabulous," Jones said. "The teachers are the best I've ever seen. Plus, I can leave Rachel there until around 6 o'clock if I have a late class or something."
Hilltop is an on-campus child development center that gets over 50 percent of its clients from student families. Its priority is to students, then staff and faculty, and non-students are last on the list, said Pat Pisani, director of the center.
Jones said the biggest impact of raising a child was on her social life.
"I can't go out and party every night like I wish I could," she said. "The most important thing is the welfare of your child. But you can't screw up, you still have got to get the grades."
Although there are places to find help on-campus, Huber suggests students wait before having children.
"I would recommend finishing college first," Huber said. "It changes your priorities. You can't come first anymore, you must put yourself last. I think most college kids can't do that."

UNIVERSITY HISTORY
North Campus: The land where KU began
By Brandon Baker
bbaker@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The north end of campus has two buildings that look over Lawrence: Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Corbin halls. Though the buildings are important to students now, both misrepresent the site's historical significance.
These residence halls sit on the land where the first building at the University of Kansas stood.
The building, named North College Hall, had 55 students — 29 men and 26 women — when it opened on Sept. 12, 1866. According to University archives, North College Hall had only three professors at the time.
Ferdinand Fuller designed the three-story, 50-foot tall building. Fuller named the area Mount Oread according to www.kuconnections org.
The campus, once called "Devil's Backbone," spread west along the ridges of Mount Oread.
North College Hall was constructed of stone and brick with a stucco exterior. It was the University's home from 1866 to 1872. Professors Francis H. Snow and David H. Robinson and Elial J. Rice taught in the building. The faculty members earned $1,600 a year.
In 1872, the University built Fraser Hall and classes moved there because the student population was
too large to hold classes in the 11- room North College Hall.
North College Hall was vacant for nine years and, in 1881, Kansas legislature decided to take possession of the building and turn it into an asylum for children.
According to 1885 state laws, the objectives of the asylum were to train and educate patients on how to support and take better care of themselves. The asylum housed children under the age of 15.
The asylum moved to Winfield in 1889.
North College Hall housed the University's law school until 1893. From 1893 to 1917, the hall became the home for the School of Fine Arts. The school moved out of the building in 1917 because the hall swayed in strong winds.
In 1923, Corbin Hall was built on the vacant 10-acre land. GSP was built in 1955.
In 1919, the Victory Liberty Loan Tank blasted shots at the vacant, decaying building, destroying it. According to an article in The Graduate Magazine of the University of Kansas by Karl Gridley, 4,000 students and Lawrence residents watched this destruction.
Outside GSP-Corbin, a fire basket and stone from the first building in the University's history stand as a quiet reminder of the University's beginnings.

NIGHTLIFE
House party hosts rely on luck to dodge law
By Richard Gintowt rgintowt@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Kevin Fitzpatrick recalls at least 10 parties where more than 300 people crammed into his house on Ohio Street and emptied six kegs of beer.
"Surprisingly, we never got busted," said Fitzpatrick, who graduated in May.
Fitzpatrick and his six roommates were lucky. They could have been cited by Lawrence police for running an open saloon — providing alcohol and charging for cups. In addition to putting a black spot on their records, the citations could have had carried fines of up to $500.
Undeterred by the threat of fines and blemished records, University of
Kansas students like Fitzpatrick host and attend house parties every semester. For these students, the glory of the party outweighs the risk of a citation. But the difference between a bad hangover and a $500 ticket comes down to three simple things: knowing the laws, knowing some tricks of the trade and luck.
Michele Kessler, associate director of legal services, said the only way to throw a legal house party was to not charge for liquor and make sure everyone who was drinking was 21.
Kessler said there were ways to minimize the chances of getting an open saloon citation if an officer shows up at your party. One of these safeguards is to keep someone at the door and meet an officer outside before he or she sees any suspicious activity inside.
"If you break up the party, you probably won't get a ticket."
Michele Kessler Associate director of legal services
"Crack the door open as skinny as you can and slide out," Kessler said.
Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Patrick said an officer could legally enter a house if he or she saw probable cause of a crime being committed.
Patrick said noise violations were the most common reason for an officer coming to a party.
If an officer showed up, you would usually give the party's hosts 20 minutes to break up the party, Kessler said.
"If you break up the party you probably won't get a ticket," she said.
Fitzpatrick minimized the risk of complaints from neighbors by blocking off his backyard with tarps and warning his neighbors about the party.
John Wade, a psychologist for Counseling and Psychological Services, said he had counseled students that felt stress as a result of liquor-related fines. Wade said the fines sometimes had a silver lining.
"We'd tell the neighbors to talk to us before they call the police," Fitzpatrick said.
"It can be a wake-up call," Wade said. "It forces some people to change their behavior."

ACLU directors expand chapters to every student
By Ehren Meditz
emeditz@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Law School chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union will branch out to include the entire University this semester.
Nhan Nguyen, president of the new campus-wide ACLU, said he wanted to provide a chapter for undergraduates to join. Nguyen said it was more important now than ever before to educate students about civil liberties and topics such as academic freedom and student rights when stopped by the police.
"What people don't realize is that if we give up our personal liberties, then we have already lost," Nguyen said.
MEETING
The first meeting of the University of Kansas ACLU will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
The chapter has about 15 members, said James Owen, the group's vice president. Owen said the expanded group aimed to both educate students and advocate for them.
"Some people don't even know what the Bill of Rights is," Owen said. "Students in the law school know what their rights are. We need to widen awareness throughout the entire campus."
He said the group wanted to set up an e-mail address or telephone number so that students could report complaints. The group would then determine if the complaint warranted a closer look.
The group plans to have meetings every month and feature guest speakers. Owen said fiers and chalkings would be posted around the campus as an effort to reach new members.
Owen said the purpose of the ACLU was not to stir up trouble, but rather to guarantee that basic civil liberties were protected.
"Civil liberties are not just a law school concern," he said.

Liz Starnes, Wichita senior, pours a beer at The Massachusetts Street Deli catessen, 941 Massachusetts St., where she is a manager. Starnes is part of the large amount of students who work part-time.
The college experience is different for everyone. Some students don't have to work, but those who do must juggle studies, a social life and work.
For Chad Irwin, Mt. Vernon Ill., senior, budgeting his time is important. Irwin, a manager at Massachusetts Street Deli, 941 Massachusetts St., works an average of 35 to 40 hours a week during the semester while working on an architectural engineering degree. He has worked there for three years.
"When you get home from work you don't want to study," he said. "But it makes you manage your time better."
Irwin said he still managed to get A's and B's, but had a hard time finding time for a social life.
"My social life consists of class and work," he said. "I wait until summer, then I let loose."
Irwin's not alone according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning Web site. Irwin works as do 4,019 other undergraduates with on-campus jobs.
Gail Rooney, director of University Career and Employment Services, said she usually recommended new students to limit their work hours.
"Undergraduates don't know how hard their classes will be," she said.
When students become upperclassmen, they can make decisions on how many hours to work without compromising school work, Rooney said.
An employment fair at the beginning of each school year gives students the opportunity to find employment both on and off campus.

Art museum displays Chinese paintings
By Ehren Meditz
emeditz@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Spencer Museum of Art is overflowing with art, but its first exhibit of the fall semester will be paintings from the University of Michigan.
The exhibit, The Orchid Pavilion Gathering, features 60 Chinese paintings that date back as far as 900 years. Andrea Norris, director of the museum, said the museum had a large number of Chinese paintings from the
20th century, but that the Michigan exhibit offered older and unique paintings for the KU audience.
"Adding rented exhibitions significantly expands the museum's scholarly and visual range and creates educational opportunities for its audience," Norris said.

The title of the exhibit comes from a common theme in Chinese and Japanese paintings; a springtime gathering where friends and families relax and escape from the pressures of life. The exhibition is
The Orchid Pavilion Gathering begins Aug. 16 and runs through Oct. 26 in the Spencer Museum of Art.

Skip the studio; bands are staying home to record
Musicians take advantage of inexpensive computers recording software; disseminate music over Internet
By Eddie Yang eyang@kansan.com kansas staff writer
In the extra room of his home on Tennessee Street, Matt Davis follows his rock 'n' roll dreams without leaving his computer.
Next to his computer is a drum set, a bass amp, two guitar amps, two keyboards and various percussion instruments. Microphones and cords litter the floor, and a Pink Floyd tapestry hangs on the wall.
Davis records his music using a software program called Pro Tools.
"I got this set-up because it's almost cheaper to get the software than recording a demo," Davis said. "The software is cheap and lets me work on things as long as I want."
The image shows a large mixing console with numerous control knobs and sliders, set up in a recording studio. The console is positioned at the front of the room, facing an open doorway or entryway. There are several reel-to-reel tape players visible in the background, indicating that this area is used for audio recording. The overall setting suggests a professional music production environment.
DigiDesign's Pro Tools is the market leader in audio recording software in the United States. In 2002, DigiDesign made $104.7 million off of Pro Tools.
The combination of sophisticated tools and plummeting computer prices allows anyone with the time and know-how to make CDs with sound quality comparable to those produced at a major studio. Today, more unsigned musicians like Davis are independently releasing their music. Some of them are starting record labels, and professional studios are losing business.
Today's recording software is not hard to learn and lets artists record hundreds of tracks at the click of a button. Bands can play multiple takes of a song and then piece together a composite track.
Studios
Underground Sound, the local recording studio pictured above, runs out of a backyard building and independent of a record label. Tom Wagner, Lawrence resident, owns the studio and produces the music of his band, Conner. Home recording studios,independent record labels and the Internet have offered outlets for do-it-yourself musicians of Lawrence.

"The program is very similar to a word processing program where you can cut and paste different sections of music," said Chuck Chapman, owner of Chapman Studios in Kansas City, Mo. "Before, if you made a mistake you had to rerecord it in perfect time. Now you can just use another take."
Chapman said that most studios use a professional version of Pro Tools or a similar program called Nenuendo.
Pro Tools can even cover up musical shortcomings.
"There are various plug-ins that you can get that will adjust the pitch of a vocal or instrument to correct out-of-tune singing or playing," Chapman said. "You'd be surprised at how many CDs use this feature."

Homegrown music
With amateur musicians able to produce pristine records, a

number of outlets have emerged for musicians to share their music on the Internet.
Lawrence bands such as Kelpie, Proudentall, The Band that Saved the World, Salt the Earth and Java Men and songwriters such as Luke Stone are featured on the Web site.
"I work on my albums for a couple of months before they are finished,"Stone said."I just want to spread my music as far as it will go."
Another Web site, CDBaby.com, allows musicians to sell CDs. CD Baby has been operating since March 1998 and is the second-largest seller of independent CDs on the Web. Amazon.com is first.
CD Baby artists make $6 to $12 per CD and get paid weekly. Visitors to the site can listen to album tracks and read musicians' biographies. According to CDBaby.com, 35,425 artists have sold 429,503 CDs though the Web site, earning a total of $3.4 million.
Keith Loneker, owner of Lawrence's Lock-N-Load record label, warned about the quality of the recording a band is trying to sell.
"You got to realize who the competition is," Loneker-said. "If a band spends $50 on the production of a CD, it isn't going to compete well against a CD that had a budget of one million dollars."
Miles Bonny, creator of LawrenceHipHop.com, said that selling music over the Internet is not that easy.
"Before, if you made a mistake you had to rerecord it in perfect time. Now you can just use another take."

"You can sell your CD on the Internet, but the hard part is getting people to your Web site," Bonny said. "People are skeptical about giving you $10 for anything, let alone a CD. It needs to stand out."
Independent Labels
The digital recording revolution is helping smaller independent labels emerge.
Lawrence area rapper Approach started his record label. Datura, two years ago to get his music out and attract the
attention of a major label.
"I had boxes of my CDs and thought 'I really have to do this now,'" he said.
Shawn Murphy, Midwest representative for the American Society of Composers and Authors, said there were some advantages to being on an independent label.
"At a major label one in five artists don't break even with the production costs," Murphy said. "An indie artist could sell a disc for $15 at a concert. If they make a $5 profit a disc on 5,000 discs, they pocket $25,000."
"Independent labels don't have to pay $400,000 to get a song on the air," he said. "They are able to turn a profit quicker and share more of those profits with their artists."
Murphy said it was not easy to start an independent label.
your CD to all your friends, family, people you went to school with, people you work with, you still won't sell 500 CDs."
The entry-level version of Pro Tools costs $995 and allows users to record up to 24 tracks of audio and another 128 of data, called Midi.
Pro Tools began in the late 1980s as a rudimentary editing program. It has evolved into a full-functioning studio on the screen.
Murphy said the software has drawbacks.
"It's going to be harder to find the good music with all the bad music that is out there," Murphy said. "But at the same time, you might find an independent band that you like on the Internet."
"Ten years ago, that wasn't even possible."
"To sell 500 CDs is very difficult," Murphy said. "If you sell — Edited by Richard Gintowt

Meat Market caters to those with hunger for hamburgers
By Amy Kelly akelley@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Zach Straus/Kansan
CHICAGO
Tongue is permanently placed in cheek at Captain RibMan's Meat Market, 811 New Hampshire St., which opened May 28. And co-owners Rich Davis, also of KC-Masterpiece fame, and John Sprengelmeyer would have it no other way. After all, they are also the creators of the restaurant's namesake, Captain RibMan, a superhero with an unnatural adoration of barbecue ribs.
"It actually seemed pretty natural for Captain RibMan to have his own place." Davis said. "In a college town where we're doing a college paper, it almost seemed obvious."
For singles on the prowl, the latest meat market in Lawrence isn't necessarily the place to hook up with a hot date. But its owners are prepared to provide the ultimate rendezvous for their fellow carnivores.
Captain RibMan's misadventures began in 1996 and are syndicated through the Tribune Media Services and www.uclick.com. Yahoo! Internet Life voted it the Best Online Comic Strip in 2001.
Kara Morgan, Holton junior; Denise Spidle, Hesston junior; Cathie McLeod, Lenexa junior; Jessica Sands, Ozawkie sophomore; and Corinne Spalding. Westwood graduate student, thrust plates of meat to the sky in front of their workplace, Captain RibMan's Meat Market, 811 New Hampshire St. The Meat Market opened on May 28 and is dedicated to giving Lawrence "a quality carnivorous experience," founder Rich Davis said.
After several conversations a few months prior with co-owners Rodi Foreman, radio host Randy Miller and former Bleu-Jacket owners Chris Hanna and Dan Almanza, the Davis and Sprengelmeyer duo knew that Lawrence was the perfect town for a restaurant dedicated to the animated superstar.
The closing of BleuJacket in November provided an optimum location as well, Davis said.
"There could not have been a better 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.
The interior holds an abundance of eye candy for customers, who will find anything from kitschy old photos of a
"We're part of this building," he said. "It's just one of the classic buildings in Lawrence."
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 chuckles 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 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."
If you order the vegetable of the day, expect to shell out $24.97. Yes, health nuts pay mightily at Meat Market.
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 are known for our continuity, service and quality."
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.
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 exciting dance club."

Bella Lounge kicks butts; awaits student reaction to regulation
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 St. 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 Farha who also owns The Wheel, 14th and Ohio streets said that when he decided to take over the former Fifi's site, he didn't plan on making it smoke-free.
The community supported the idea and 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.
"It's a risk," Farha said. "I have a stack of ashtrays in the back just in case."
Since opening almost one month ago, Farha has relied on word of mouth to spread the
word about the bar.
"It takes a lot of patience." Farha said. "I've been pleasantly surprised."
Waitress Jessica Wachter, a Lawrence resident, said opening in the summer made it hard to tell whether the lounge would lure college students.
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.
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 Fridays, a deejay and dance floor replaces Sammy Davis It'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.
The Bella Lounge is open Monday through Saturday from 4:30 p.m. until 2 a.m.

Group breaks stereotype
KU fraternity members create lifelong memories
ByJessica Palimenio
jpalimenio@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Mark Dupree found out he was going to intern for Sen. Sam Brownback this summer, he contacted the Howard University chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity in Washington, D.C.
Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., senior, is a member of the University of Kansas' Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
The Howard chapter is going to help him find a place to live this summer, either in its fraternity house or with other members in D.C.
This was just an example of the networking possibilities as an Alpha Phi Alpha member, Dupree said.
"After joining, I found the love and true bond of Alpha Phi Alpha."
At first, Kansas City, Kan.
Dupree's senior
family was ___
not enthusiastic about him joining the fraternity.
He said his family viewed fraternities negatively because of what they saw in the media.
Stories about hazing worried his parents, he said, and caused them to look down on the idea of fraternities.
After his freshman year, Dupree decided to find out more about the fraternity system.
"I had to learn the true meaning of fraternity," Dupree said
Dupree said he already knew he could succeed on his own and wanted to try joining the system.
"In our organization the numbers are not really an issue, it's the productivity." Daniel Crenshaw
Daniel Crenshaw Alpha Phi Alpha president
Hesaid Alpha Phi Alpha stood out to him on campus because of its ability to achieve high academic standards and still be social around campus.
"After joining, I found the love and true bond of Alpha Phil Alpha." Dupree said.
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, the first black organization in the United States, was formed in 1906. Today, it is one of the oldest fraternities at the University.
William Clayton, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said he wanted to be part of the long line of men who have been members of the fraternity, such as Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and former Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Emanuel Cleaver.
Even with seven members, the current fraternity members are very active in the community.
"In our organization the numbers are not really an issue, it's the productivity," said Daniel Crenshaw. Alpha Phi Alpha president.
He decided to join the organization when he transferred from Emporia State his junior year.
The KU fraternity system was more active in improving the community than the chapters at Emporia, he said.
Family is a contributing factor in many of the men's decisions. It has become a tradition in
William Clayton's family to join Alpha Phi Alpha.
"This is something I knew I was going to do for a long time," Clayton said.
The fraternity does volunteer work through the Salvation Army and Victory Bible Church.
They also volunteered to supervise the children visiting the Kansas Union last Martin Luther King Jr. day.
Members are also trying to reinstall chapters at Emporia State and Wichita State.
The group has also been traveling to other universities such as Pittsburg State to start a new chapter.
Crenshaw said that spreading the word about his fraternity had been one of his favorite parts of being a member.
"I can travel to almost any part of the world and find a brother," Dupree said.
Like any organization, the fraternity has overcome many obstacles in its 80 years at the University.
In 1989, the group lost its house at 1014 Mississippi St. and hasn't bought a new one to house its members.
Dupree said it did have its advantages, though.
"You can always get enough brotherhood, but sometimes you can have too much," he said.
All of the members are also active in other organizations and activities on campus, including Black Student Union.

Lawrence clubs diversify to attract 'fickle' students
Zach Straus/Kansan
On one of his nocturnal outings, he stumbled upon the following fact: although Lawrence is a small college town, its club scene offers variety; thus, he did not have to limit his choice of clubs.
By Saju Ng'alla
sngella@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Fun-seekers gather to dance to the sounds of Latin music at La Tasca. 943 Massachusetts St., on a Saturday night. Lawrence clubs, such as La Tasca, are experimenting with new ways of attracting patrons.
Corey Harris does not consider himself a party animal, but once in awhile he does feel the urge to hit the clubs and dance the night away.
"KU students are so fickle that it does not take much for them to stop going to a club for one reason or the next," said Liz Caldwell, who is a bartender at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
Lawrence has more than 12 dance clubs competing for the business of University of Kansas students. With so many dance clubs in such a small town, a few owners and managers have decided to come up with new ways to attract students to their respective night spots.
"I actually enjoyed myself," Harris said. "It was different and the women were beautiful and sexy."
Caldwell said one of the biggest turnoffs for students was seeing the same faces week after
Harris, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, now goes to La Tasca, 943 Massachusetts St., every Saturday night to dance to the sounds of Latin music.
"KU students are so fickle that it does not take much for them to stop going to a club for one reason or the next."

week at the same club. Students complained that they could easily guess what music the DJ would play next because he played the same kind of music week after week, she said.
Kelfel Aqui, owner of La Tasca,
moved away from the routine of
playing weekly Top 10 music.
"We are not much of a trend follower anymore," Aqui said. "We play all types of music for the different types of people that live in Lawrence."
Aqui said it didn't make much sense for him to compete for the same audience that other clubs were already competing for. That is why on different days of the week he played
different kind of music.
According to the schedule posted on a blackboard inside La Tasca, it has a diverse lineup which included reggae, live bands, 80s music and Latin dance parties.
Some nights are more popular than others, but Aqui said the diverse lineup kept his club filled every day of the week.
Katie Curtis, Wichita senior, said she didn't mind Latin and reggae music once in awhile. "But I'm more into hip-hop and techno music," she said.
Curtis said her friends also preferred clubs that played hip-hop and techno, such as the Granada,1020 Massachusetts St., Abe&Jakes, 8 E. Sixth St., It's Brothers Bar & Grill and Jack Flanigans, 806 W. 24th St.
Caldwell said The Bottleneck was an example of what most clubs needed to be doing to attract more people to their clubs. The Bottleneck offers a live band nearly every night of the week featuring different types of music.

The Pink House, once a local music venue, no longer hosts any shows. Landlords prohibited any bands from playing in the house after learning about the concerts in an article that ran in the Lawrence Journal-World.

Landlords black out on Pink House
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, they 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, 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.

Next, officers look for how a person conducts themselves. An underage drinker might be more nervous than a legal drinker.

CITY COMMISSION
Liquor laws may loosen in city
By Maggie Newcomer mnewcomer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Soon football fans and die-hard Sunday barbecuers might not have to think too far ahead to buy beer.
Following in Leavenworth and Lenexa's footsteps, the Lawrence City Commission moved towards approving an ordinance for Lawrence Sunday liquor sales by a 5-0 vote July 1, 2003.
The commission will discuss the issue in September and the community has until then to protest the change in Sunday liquor sales. According to the ordinance, liquor stores could open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays and on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day.
Steve Peppes, Leawood senior, said it was about time Lawrence liquor stores opened on Sundays.
Peppes said it was common
practice for him and his friends to drive to Missouri on Sundays to buy beer, especially during football season.
"We're so close," Peppes said. "Especially if I'm going to a Chief's game."
Zach Bassin, KU graduate and employee of Cork & Barrel, 901 Mississippi St., said opening liquor stores on Sundays would keep tax dollars in Lawrence.
Commissioner Mike Rundle said he had yet to hear negative reactions to Sunday liquor sales.
Local liquor store owners, however, had mixed reactions.
Dan Blomgren, owner of three Lawrence Cork & Barrels, said he fully supported the ordinance.
"I sell a legal product to people of legal drinking age," Blomgren said. "Give me that opportunity to stay open on Sundays."
Joe Schmidtberger, owner of Alvin's Wine and Spirits, 905 Iowa St., said he didn't think
Sunday sales would affect his profits. Schmidberger said paying employees for Sunday work might even cost him money.
"It would just stretch six days of profits to seven," Schmidt-berger said.
He said every household had a certain amount of money it could spend on alcohol and staying open an extra day would not encourage extra spending.
encourage Bloomgren said if opening on Sundays did not prove profitable, he would return to operating six days a week.
Peppes admitted Sunday liquor sales were not critical, but a luxury. He said it was a matter of convenience.
"What if I want to have wine or beer with dinner on Sunday?" Peppes said. "Am I supposed to know at least one day ahead of time what I'll be in the mood for?"

Residents react as Greeks move in

HOUSING
One battle is finished, but the war between greek organizations and Lawrence residents isn't over.
At their meeting in early July, city commissioners gave Alpha Gamma Delta sorority the goahead to build a new house at 1520 Sigma Nu Place, to the disenchantment of the sorority's new neighbors.
Although Highberger passed this vote, the commissioner said he would be reluctant to approve the building of another dormitory-style house on the adjacent empty lot, also zoned for residential dormitory housing. That lot is also for sale by Sigma Nu fraternity.
Commissioner Dennis "Boo" Highberger gave Alpha Gamma Delta the edge in the 3-2 vote.
Highberger said he thought the house was too much of a contrast with the single-family homes it borders. But, he said, it was approved because the proposal met all guidelines for residential dormitory zones.
Rick Stein, a neighbor on nearby Avalon Road, said he had wanted a different outcome and was disappointed.
Stein said he would not oppose another greek house in the neighborhood, but he wanted the house to be smaller and for fewer students.
"How much noise do we have to hear?" Stein said. "How much litter are we going to have to pick out of our yards?"
Stein said he was concerned with the greek organizations disrupting the neighborhood lifestyle. He said neighborhood residents had not experienced any problems with existing greek organizations in the neighborhood, but were concerned about the increase in traffic on their streets.
The city commission decided to require sorority members living at Alpha Gamma Delta to put identifying stickers on their cars so neighbors would know if they were parking on their streets.
Neighborhood residents were prepared to ask the city commission to re-zone Alpha Gamma Delta's lot to prevent building, but when the commission passed the sorority's proposal, re-zoning became moot.
Stein said residents would try to re-zone the second lot as well to bar additional density problems in the neighborhood.
Highberger said he preferred a compromise between residents and Greek organizations to rezoning.

Kaelyn Fox, Pittsburgh senior and Center for Community Outreach co-director, is expecting several hundred students to participate in her organization's volunteer events during Hawk Week. Students interested in giving their time to help others are encouraged to visit the CCO office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
By Jennifer Wellington jwellington@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
In between the first week of classes, spending money on books and the endless social events, students can kick off the year by participating in a variety of volunteer opportunities.
Long-term and short-term volunteer projects abound both on campus and off.
Kaelyn Fox, Pittsburg senior and co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, said she expected several hundred students would participate in CCO's Hawk Week volunteer event.
CCO's Hawk Week event is a community service project on Saturday, August 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It will allow volunteers the opportunity to work at The Pelatite Center, The Bailard Center or the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence.
Fox said one-time events like Hawk Week were popular among students because students wanted to do something, but didn't want the time commitment.
While short-term volunteering was popular, Fox said the center saw students who wanted to dedicate their time long-term as well.
The center offers 14 long- and short-term programs students can choose from. Fox said the center was always looking to add and update programs.
She said there were plenty of opportunities for volunteering during college.
"Students are not only provide
inga service to an agency and gaining experience, but they are learning about their community and real-life experiences," she said.
compiling their resumes and looking for jobs.
Mary Andrade-Carlson, director of University Career and Employment Services, said student philanthropy could be beneficial when student were
She said UCES saw students who volunteered for businesses within their careers as well as organizations that didn't have anything to do with their major. Either way, the center saw a lot of student's resumes with some
sort of volunteer experience on it, Andrade-Carlson said.
"Volunteering gives students an opportunity to test their skills in the real world and an opportunity to network," she said.
Andrade-Carlson said there were benefits with both short and long-term volunteering.
Short-term volunteering helps to round out resumes and gives a brief window of what a certain area looks like. However, long-term volunteering gives students an opportunity to test out their skills, she said.
Erika Zimmerman, program director for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Douglas County, agrees that volunteering was beneficial for students.
"It shows that they're willing to help out their community and give up time to help someone other than themselves," she said. "It also shows a sense of commitment."
Zimmerman said over half of their volunteers were University students.
"We see the majority of students participating in our school-based programs, but not as many in our communitybased program," she said.
Zimmerman, who volunteered with Big Brothers/Big Sisters when she was a student at the University, said whatever reason a student volunteered, they should think of it as a learning experience.
"They should open up to what they do and realize who they are helping and why," she said.

Students aid Iraqi nurses with books
By Laura Sullivan Daily Pennsylvanian via U-WIRE University of Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA — Nursing students may be known for their caring manner and ability to reach out to patients in need, but the efforts of some University of Pennsylvania nursing students to aid others has gone beyond that all the way to the other side of the world.
The Nursing Graduate Student Organization is coordinating an effort to collect books for Iraqi nurses who saw their own materials destroyed in the war last spring.
Connie Smith, nursing masters student, first conceived of the project after reading an article that the nursing schools in Iraq had been ransacked.
"We got the okay from the dean, but we didn't have a clue at all how to go about finding what the school of nursing actually needed," Smith said.
At that point, Smith and other volunteers found themselves searching the State Department Web site for charitable organizations whose efforts they could emulate.
"This was absolutely a zero-budget operation," Smith said.
They called a Los Angeles-based international relief organization that "was very helpful in suggesting that books would be the most valued commodity right now," Kathleen Birch, GSO president and Nursing graduate student, wrote in an e-mail statement.

Fraternity hazing probed
Sigma Nu scrutinized after student pledge receives head injuries
The University of Kansas chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity could face penalties
after the possible hazing of a 19-year-old Olathe student.
The district attorney's office is reviewing the police investigation and will decide if charges should be brought against some fraternity members. District Attorney Christine Kenney said she would not comment on the case until that decision had been made.

The Lawrence Journal-World reported that police arrived just before that decision had been made.
10 p.m. Aug. 13 at Sigma Nu, near 10th Street and Emery Road, to find the Olathe student unconscious. The student was transferred by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and then taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center for head injuries. Hospital officials reported he was released Thursday.
Police said in the article the injury was received in a pledge ritual in which the

Research discredits 0-5 drink campaign

Many University students may recognize the slogan "Most KU students drink moderately or not at all (0-5 drinks) when they party" from posters on the walls of most University residence halls.
College. Researchers surveyed 14,000 college students at 120 universities. Almost half of the colleges participating in the study had adopted the social-norms campaign.
The study shows that the percentage of college students who are binge drinkers has stayed about the same, and the frequency of binge drinking among college students has increased on some campuses where the social-norms campaign was used.
None of those schools participating in the social-norms campaign showed any significant decrease in alcohol consumption by students.

The University adopted the socialnorms campaign in 1999. The program is designed to curb binge drinking among college students. The discontinuance of the campaign has nothing to do with the Harvard study.
McCluskey-Fawcett said the University would experiment with different ways of using the social-norms campaign on campus, but she said she didn't know what would be implemented to replace it.

HAWK Link recruitment strolls out with a stepping start
By Johanna M. Maska
jmaska@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In a synchronized welcome, Delta Sigma Theta strolled onto the stage for a step show that emphasized educational development. As they danced and chanted, they reminded entering freshman women that the Delta sorority focus was on grade point average, community service and a solid moral standing.
The Deltas were one of more than 20 organizations that participated in yesterday afternoon's "Take Over the Beach," inviting students to learn about the University of Kansas' multicultural organizations. The event was one of two programs, the other being the Tuesday night "Block Party," also on Wescoe Beach. Together, they served as a dual-part introduction to HAWK Link, a freshman retention program run by the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Eric DreamWay
"Failure is not an option," was the HAWK Link T-shirt motto. And an atmosphere of open invitation was the goal. Hundreds of students attended each of the two events.
The music was part of a casual social introduction to HAWK Link, Lase Ajayi, Lawrence senior and HAWK Link guide, said.
On Tuesday night at 9:45 p.m. sand and volleyball nets from a previous event were cleared and replaced with a sound system.
Members of Delta Sigma Theta sorority (from left) Alisa Lewis, East St. Louis, Ill., senior, Charlee Fits, Kansas City, Kan., senior, Jennifer Morrow, Kansas City, Kan., senior, Yana Delkah, Lawrence junior, Marina Buton, Topea senior, and Magan Pearson, Lawrence senior, perform their step routine in front of Wescoe Hall. The step show was part of Take Over the Beach yesterday, which focused attention on the University's multicultural organizations.
Eric Braem/Kansan
Decked out in an oversized cowboy hat, Ajayi said she was aiming to create a welcoming environment for entering students.
HAWK Link is a peer mentorship program targeted at students of a multicultural background, but open to all students, Ajayi said.
Among other things, HAWK Link provides training sessions dealing with new student issues such as filing FAFSA applications, living on your own, getting free tutoring through the Step Peer Mentoring and Tutoring and enrolling in a faculty mentor program.
Ajayi, along with other members of HAWK Link, has worked to call, e-mail and check in with entering students who chose to denote minority status on their application. Ajayi said social events like this were the way they targeted the general student population.
Ali Mallare, Leawood freshman, said she was at the Block Party because she wanted to go to all Hawk Week events. Thus far, Mallare said, her favorite was the Union Fest.
Nathan Navrat, Zach Schaug and Jared Scriven, all Newton freshman, walked up from McCollum Hall to check out Tuesday night's event. Although Navrat and Schaug were hesitant to dance, they enjoyed the welcome,they said.
"They do a pretty good job of giving students information and services they need," Scriven said.
LaPourchea McConico, Boner Springs freshman, was already enrolled in the HAWK Link pro
gram.
"I expect good tutors, great friends and support for my academic and future endeavors," McConico said while at the Block Party.

Chancellor's convocation address offers insight on University life

caused the picnic's cancellation.
"I thought coming here was worth it," she said.
This year's Opening Convocation at the Lied Center was the University of Kansas' '138th. The convocation was supposed to be preceded by the first-ever University Picnic outside the Lied Center, but triple-digit temperatures
The Lied Center was full long before the convocation began at 8 p.m. Restless students entertained themselves by doing the wave through the balconies.
Andy Knopp, student body president, was the first to address the audience. In his speech, he urged the University's new students to do their part in improving the University's ranking of ninth on Playboy's list of the nation's top-10 party schools.
"Is that really the best we can
do?" Knopp asked.
Hemenway tried to calm the nerves of college newcomers awaiting their first classes today.
"Everybody's cool right?" Hemenway said. "No fear."
The audience also got Hemeway's guide to life at the University. He said there were five experiences every KU student should

have before graduation.
The first was the temptation to cheat in class. Hemenway advised against this.
Run-ins with drugs and alcohol were second. The Chancellor strongly discouraged the use of drugs. He also warned students about the risk of losing brain cells because of alcohol.
"They go, they're gone folks." Hemenway said. "I can testify."
The opportunity to interact with people of different racial backgrounds was next on the list.
The "lightbulb experience" is something every student should have at least once, Hemenway said, when a student's brain clicks with an algebra problem or biology experiment.
The one experience Hemenway guaranteed every student would have was understanding what it meant to be a Jayhawk.
He said being a Jayhawk meant being a part of something larger than yourself.

If a parent fails to check e-mail often enough, the University should certainly be able to charge $100 late fees, which
E-mail billing will leave parents spent
The University of Kansas recently informed students that it will no longer be mailing tuition or other bills to residences of students or their parents. Instead, the University has opted to conduct billings by e-mail in yet another penny-pinching, cost-cutting, budget-efficient maneuver.
It does not serve as a major billing overhaul, but it does create problems for students and more for their parents. Many, if not all students, have regularly incorporated e-mail into their lives as a major form of communication. Most students check their e-mail every day and must register and communicate with the University online.
The problem arises for students and parents because many parents do not regularly use their e-mail. Because parents usually make the tuition payments, communication between the University and parents regarding tuition payments could fail.
are added after the bill is one day late.
The issue of the new billing system goes beyond parents not receiving emails. It signifies a trend in the University that reduces simple benefits for students while simultaneously increasing tuition at a pace far above the inflation rate. Ever since the University decided to impose a five-year tuition hike two years ago, students have seen lights turned off in the evenings earlier in academic halls and campus buildings shortening their hours.
Now with such proposals as the e-mail billing system, parents already feeling the burden financially can experience the deterioration of services as elementary as receiving mail along with their students.
With the slow economy of the last couple years taking its toll across the country, the University must look for means to save money. However, the first area the University seeks to save money comes from canceling services for students and parents, the same people the University asks to pay more tuition. The University needs to make money to remain a quality learning institution, but must look more within itself to save money rather than burdening those paying the tuition dollars.

High-priced journals thwart scientific research
health of Kansans
In June, monkeypox cases were cropping up across the Midwest, and Kansas' first monkeypox patient had just been diagnosed. I was asked to present information about monkeypox -- a serious smallpox-like illness that had never before been seen in the United States -- to University of Kansas Medical Center doctors at an infectious disease discussion group. I especially wanted to tell the doctors about treatments, in case the Kansas vicum of the disease turned out not to be our last
This summer, high academic journal prices and monkeypox threatened the health of Kansans.
But I couldn't do that. Drugs to treat monkeypox had been studied, and the results had been published. But those brand-new studies were printed in the science journal Artificial Research, to which the University. In a cost-cutting measure, had canceled its subscription
in 1997. So Med Center doctors did not get the most up-to-date information, and we just had to hope that they wouldn't need it.
Access to such articles has decreased as the subscription rates for journals — especially those sold by for-profit publishers — have skyrocketed. For instance, a subscription to the science journal Brain Research, marketed by the publishing giant Elsevier, now costs the University $19,971 for a single year. KU libraries are paying more and getting less, and that means that you're getting less for your tuition.
Virtually all universities have been forced to cut journal subscriptions in recent years. As the number of academic journals — especially in the sciences — has grown, the cost for individual journal subscriptions has also increased. The Association of Research Libraries reports that between 1986
COMMENTARY
Rachel Robinson
Rachel Robson opinion@kansan.com
and 2000 the average cost of a journal subscription went up four times the rate of inflation. The average university library spent almost twice on journal subscriptions in 2000 than what it did in 1986, and it got 7 percent fewer journals.
It's not clear why journal costs have increased so much, said Richard Fyffe, assistant dean of libraries for scholarly communication. What is clear is that
"journals published by profit-making companies are more expensive," Fyffe said. It's also true that for-profit journal publishers have reported high profit margins, as high as 30 percent.
Corporate journal publishers are primarily interested in making a profit, and their prices reflect those values. Journals marketed by for-profit publishers sometimes cost 20 times more than similar journals published by non-profit scholarly organizations.
"It became clear to me that universities were getting ripped off," said John A. Landgrebe, KU emeritus professor of chemistry, who signed an international petition at www.plos.org protesting high journal subscription rates.
We're all getting ripped off.
Most research reported in academic journals is publicly funded. When these journals are too expensive for our libraries, it means that we, as taxpayers, are
paying for studies we can't read. Other researchers can't read them, either. This thwarts scientific progress, by keeping scholars ignorant of the discoveries of their peers.
as journal prices go up, we all end up paying. We pay higher taxes. We pay higher tuition. We pay by having fewer books and other resources in our libraries. We pay in forgone discoveries, when researchers can't read journal articles that would otherwise have inspired their own work. We pay when doctors don't have information they might use in treating patients. We pay more all the time, but get less from price-gouging subsidiaries of international conglomerates.
It's time we demand that we get what we pay for.

Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship handed out flyers to new students on Tuesday to try to draw new faces.
Chi Alpha, a Christian prayer group, was one of approximately 100 organizations at the Student Organization Information Fair on the lawn of Strong Hall. The fair was a part of Hawk Week activities.
The University of Kansas has more than 450 student organizations on campus. Forty-five are religious organizations. Chi Alpha's efforts are just one example of how campus religious organizations recruit new members. The beginning of the year is a big time for the University's religious groups to reach out to new members.
Bala Baskaran, a Chi Alpha member and India graduate student, said he talked to about 25 people and encouraged them to come to the club's first social event, a beach party tomorrow evening.

Research: Increased stress causes facial breakouts
By Danielle Hillix
dhillix@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Stressing about acne could make it worse.
A study at Stanford University has scientifically linked acne breakouts in college students to stress for the first time.
According to the study, released in the July edition of Archives of Dermatology, stress has long been thought to play a role in acne breakouts. Though
both patients and physicians have long thought that stress and acne were related, all reports had been anecdotal.
Lee Bittenbender, Lawrence dermatologist, said the study backed up years of theory and gave physicians a better understanding of how to effectively treat the disease.
"It is good to have a scientific study behind us." Bittenbender said. "It gives us a better basis of what to do."
Researchers at Stanford stud-

varying degrees of acne. The study rated the students' acne severity using a standard system during a non-exam period, which was one month before any examination. The severity was rated again during an exam period, which was three days before to seven days after an exam. The students also filled out questionnaires ranking their stress levels.
After adjusting for variables such as changes in sleep pattern and diet, researchers found that increased acne was significantly associated with increased stress.
A change in diet quality was the only other variable besides stress found to have a significant association with acne breakouts.
Stephanie Wilkinson, Wichita senior, did not need a scientific study to tell her about the effects stress has on her complexion. She noticed a long time ago that her aced act up when she got stressed out.
"I don't take care of myself when I get stressed," Wilkinson said. "I go without washing my face and forget to take my acne medication."
Keeping a normal routine during stressful times is an important factor in controlling breakouts said Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Health Center.
"Even when you're stressed, if you keep your healthy habits, your skin will be healthy," Strother said.
These healthy habits include drinking plenty of water, using antibacterial soap and eating a balanced diet.
But sometimes these steps are not enough. In cases where medication is used, the study encourages dermatologists to increase dosage during stressful times.
"Acne is upsetting to have," Strother said. "It's important to get it taken care of."

Residence halls help acquaint students with Lawrence
By Abby Mills amills@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
This time each year, University of Kansas freshmen flood into Lawrence and have no idea where to go. But freshman disorientation is not a problem for Kayla Bennett.
Bennett, like more than 3,000 other students, moved onto Daisy Hill Sunday. Bennett, Lawrence freshman, moved into Hashinger Hall just across town from her family's home.

"I wanted to get out of the house," she said. "I'm closer to classes and can be involved with different people and activities."

Bennett said residence halls weren't the most common option for Lawrence students. They either lived at home, she said, or were better equipped than out-of-town students to find an apartment because they knew the area better.
Bennett said living close to home had advantages. While her floor mates hauled most of their possessions into their rooms, Bennett only brought a few loads and would worry about the rest later. She said her parents liked her being close. She'll also never

No serious problems were reported Sunday, although residents dealt with long elevator lines, congested parking and temperatures above 100 degrees.
RAs also planned floor meetings and activities such as group outings to Hawk Week events before move-in.
Craig Bates, Leavenworth freshman who now lives in McCollum, said those activities would help new students feel comfortable quicker.

Bates said he viewed his time in the hall as an opportunity to meet others. He hadn't met his roommate yet, but said he hoped they would go
out often and become friends.
Bennett also chose to live in a residence hall for the social atmosphere. She said she chose Hashinger because she thought the residents would be more likely to share her interest in theater.
"A lot of people who are doing more creative, art-based majors come here," she said.
The hall, she said, would give her opportunities to participate in theater and make new friends.

Decoding human genome map target of new building
By Amber Byartay
abyartay@kansan.com
Kansan staff reporter
The University of Kansas is joining more than 25 other universities in an effort to decode the human genome map by making room for new technology.
A new science center is being planned for West Campus to allow the study of these proteins.
"We are trying to take the map, the genome, and put cities on it that have specific functions," said George Wilson, chemistry professor. The cities on this map, Wilson said, would be the proteins he and other University professors are preparing to study.
By understanding how proteins interact with one another the scientists will be able to suggest therapies for various diseases.
To study the proteins, the University purchased an 800 megahertz nuclear magnetic resonance machine during the Spring 2003 semester. The machine has a high magnetic field that allows researchers to study more than one protein and to study the interactions between proteins and the amino acids that create them.
The new machine will be about 10 feet high and six feet wide and weigh about 10,000 pounds.
To house the machine the Structural Biology Center is being planned on West Campus. The center will be south of the Lied Center and west of Daisy Hill, near 21st and Iowa streets. The ground-breaking ceremony for the center is expected to be in mid-September.
According to David VanderVelde, director of the NMR lab, the center is being designed to have a high ceiling made from materials that will not react with the machine's magnetic field or
interfere with the NMR's functioning.
A glass wall will allow researchers to watch the progress of their experiments without opening doors and allowing warm, outside air into the room. The computers used to analyze the data researchers collect will also be outside of this glass wall, to keep the heat they generate away from the NMR. The center will also have a cooling system running constantly unlike typical air conditioning systems.
A wooden access platform is also being considered to allow
workers to maintain the NMR and to put test samples into the machine, he said.
Because the NMR is scheduled to arrive in August 2004, the center must be completed earlier in the summer.
the summer.
The center is expected to be about 850,000 square feet and to cost about $865,000. The center's equipment is expected to cost about $4.2 million, VanderVelde said.
The center and its equipment is funded by a $5 million bond the Kansas Legislature gave to the University.
The center will also house an
X-ray crystallography lab. This lab will allow researchers to study protein molecule structures by attacking the molecules with electrons and then studying how the electrons scatter.
the electromenisc is available, a protenics suite is also planned. The suite will provide several laboratories with instruments that allow researchers to study proteins.
Professors, graduate and undergraduate students will use the facility, which is expected to be opened by the Fall 2004 semester.

Israel moves its tanks into West Bank towns in response to bombing
The Associated Press
NABLUS, West Bank — Israeli troops and tanks moved into the West Bank towns of Nablus and Jenin early Thursday, searching for Palestinian militants in the wake of a devastating suicide bombing earlier in the week, police and Palestinian officials said.
Shots rang out in Jenin after some 20 tanks, personnel carriers and other vehicles entered, witnesses said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties in either town.
A curfew was imposed in central Nablus after more than 30 vehicles mostly trucks and a few tanks entered the town.
entered the town.
Troops were also searching for bomb laboratories, an Israeli military source said on condition of anonymity.
No arrests were made in the latest raids, though on Wednesday night six wanted Palestinians were arrested in the area of Jenin, the source said.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has approved a series of "pointin" military strikes in response to a suicide bombing that killed 20 and injured more than 100 in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
In response, Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday ordered the arrests of suspects directly involved in Hamas bombing, but said he would not clamp down on milli-
tant groups without Arafat's backing. Palestinian Information Minister Nabil Amr said.
A meeting between Abbas, Arafat and other top Palestinians to discuss how best to respond to the suicide attack stretched into the early hours Thursday. Participants said the talks were tense and erupted in yelling.
Five Americans were among those killed in Tuesday's attack on a Jerusalem bus, the U.S. Embassy said.
The bus bombing Tuesday was the deadliest attack since President Bush unveiled his "road map" peace plan in May, and the tragedy was magnified by the fact that six children, ranging in age from 3 months to 15 years, were among the dead.
Also during the Israeli action early Thursday, troops demolished the home of a suicide bomber in a village just outside Jenin.
side jemn. The bomber had blown himself up last month, killing one Israeli woman. The army regularly destroys the homes of suicide bombers in an effort to disuade others from attacks.
As part of the current U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, Israeli soldiers pulled out of parts of the Gaza Strip and Bethlehem in the West Bank in July. The plan requires a gradual Israeli withdrawal to positions held before the outbreak of fighting, and a Palestinian
crackdown on militants.
In other Israeli-Palestinians violence, Israelis troops shot and killed one Palestinian 16-year-old and wounded at least five others Wednesday night in the northern West Bank town of Tulkarem, Palestinian witnesses said.
An Israeli military source said the troops came under fire while seeking to arrest wanted Palestinians and fired back.
Palestinian witnesses,however,said the teenager was unarmed.The troops later left.
On Wednesday, Secretary of State Colin Powell called Abbas and told him he expected "immediate measures to stop the deterioration," Amr said. It was not clear whether Powell issued an ultimatum.
The issue was the focus of the Palestinian meeting in Ramallah.
A statement issued after the meeting included pledges of moving ahead with commitments under the peace plan, which calls for the Palestinians to dismantle violent groups.
The declaration spelled out few specifics but said the Palestinian Authority was committed to the "control of weapons" and would ban all public demonstrations by militant groups.
situations by participants. Some participants in the closed-door talks between Arafat, Cabinet ministers and PLO officials said on condition of
anonymity that Abbas suggested strong action, such as freezing militant groups' bank accounts and outlawing the military wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
However, Palestinian officials said Arafat was concerned that an overly tough crackdown could spark civil war. Sources inside the talks said leaders shouted at times.
Arafat, who has been accused by Israel of involvement in terror, continues to control several of the security branches. He has repeatedly criticized Abbas, saying his agreements with Israel amount to very little.
Palestinian security forces ordered the owners of three satellite uplink facilities to prevent Islamic Jihad or Hamas from giving media interviews, a Palestinian security source said.
Babas' security chief, Mohammed Dahlan, arrived at the Cabinet meeting with a bulletproof vest under his blazer, the first time he was seen wearing such protection.
It appeared to be an indication of growing tensions among Palestinians.
Abbas until now has shied away from confrontation with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, fearing it will spark violence between Palestinians.
Instead he has tried to persuade them to halt attacks on Israelis. His decision on whether to change course
could determine the fate of the "road map" plan.
Israel warned Wednesday it will resume a relentless hunt for terror suspects if Abbas does not take action, and new Israeli sweeps could trigger more Palestinian attacks. "Either they fight terror, or we do it, without compromise," said Israel's vice premier, Ehud Olmert.
Other: Hamas and Islamic Jihad, along with Arafat's Fatah, had declared a unilateral cease-fire on June 29, but then changed the terms, saying they would avenge killings of Palestinians by Israeli troops.
Before Tuesday's attacks, Hamas and Fatah renegades carried out bombings, killing two Israelis.
The Jerusalem bombing came in revenge for the killing last week of an Islamic Jihad leader, Mohammed Sidr, in an army raid in the West Bank city of Hebron.
Hebron.
The bomber was a 29-year-old mosque preacher from Hamas and a friend of Sidr's.
The 100th suicide bombing during nearly three years of fighting was especially horrific because the packed bus carried many large families with children.
Ambulances whisked away the wounded, separating children and parents.

Anderson said his daughter also loved working with people, teaching and working with athletes. He said she loved her studies in the department of health, sport and exercise sciences as well as the people in the University's Athletics Department.
"She was well-like," Anderson's father said. "She cared for people."
Those people have been missing her since Monday when a1986 Ford truck driven by Robert E. Russell, 52, of Baldwin City, struck the Civic from behind

"Hazing of any kind is a violation of human dignity," she said in the release. "It is always taken seriously and immediately confronted by this University."
The Center for Campus Life is independently investigating the incident. Danny Kaiser, the center's director, said it was difficult to tell how long the investigation would take, but would probably
last a couple weeks.
Kaiser said during the investigation, the center would look for violations of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Article 2, section A of the code specifically addresses hazing. It says that hazing is an offense to a person, regardless of how willing the person is to participate. The code defines hazing as an action or situation that endangers someone's health, safety or academic well-being or causes him excessive fatigue, discomfort or embarrassment.

Trapped bat bites fraternity member
By Danielle Hillix
dhillix@kansan.com
Kansan staff reporter
Excitement at a fraternity house isn't unusual. But the commotion doesn't usually involve a winged mammal and a plastic bag.
An early-morning struggle with a bat sent a Kappa Sigma fraternity member to the hospital and made him a local celebrity.
The bat didn't know what it was getting into when it flew through an open window at the Kappa Sigma house, 1305 Emery Road, late Sunday night.
The bat escaped into the main house Monday morning after spending the night trapped in a res-
ident's room.
Patrick Renk, Lenexa junior, said a party at the fraternity house Monday night disturbed the bat. The animal flew through the house and ended up in the fraternity's formal room, where members tried to capture it.
"We were all swinging at it with newspapers and stuff." Renk said.
Renk trapped the bat in a plastic bag after knocking it down.
Before Renk was able to close the bag, the bat bit him on the left pinky finger. Another fraternity member then clapped the bag with his hands, subduing the animal.Kappa Sigma members took Renk and the bat to Lawrence
"The hospital said I was the only one who has ever brought a bat in with them," Renk said.
Memorial Hospital.
Renk received a rabies shot and other treatment for his wound. The bat, still alive, was boxed up and sent back home with Renk.
"I had to keep it in my room until the next day when animal control could pick it up." Renk said.
Instead of just dealing with animal control officials, Renk spent the next day with local newspaper and television reporters, who were calling to hear about the bat incident.
"I guess this doesn't happen a lot," Renk said.
When animal control did receive the bat, they euthanized it and sent it to Kansas State University. There it will be tested for rabies and other diseases. The department expects to receive test results by Friday.
Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Health Center, said rabies was always a concern with animal bites.
Strother has never seen a rabies case at Watkins, but she has given many rabies vaccinations.
"Runners come in a lot with dog bites," Strother said, "but we have never had a rabies case on campus."

BAGHDAD, Iraq — FBI agents led the search for clues in the rubble of a bombed United Nations compound in Baghdad yesterday, while U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the attack that killed his top envoy to Iraq would not drive the world body out of the country.

FBI searches for clues on deadly Iraq blasts
U. N. workers were told to stay home after a cement truck packed with explosives blew up outside the offices of U.N. envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello on Tuesday. The unprecedented attack against the world body killed 20 people, including Vieira de Mello, and wounded at least 100 people.
Annan said he was to meet with the Security Council later yesterday to discuss security arrangements for U.N. workers in Iraq.
"We will persevere. We will continue. It is essential work," he said at a news conference in Stockholm, Sweden, where he stopped briefly before heading to U.N. headquarters in New York. "We will not be intimidated."
Iraq's Governing Council condemned the attack and declared three days of mourning for those who died, council member Ahmad Chalabi told reporters. The council also promised to dedicate a monument to Vieira de Mello, he added.
Council members said they believed the truck bombing was committed by members of Saddam's ousted regime with the help of militants from outside Iraq.
A cement truck detonated at the concrete wall outside the three-story Canal Hotel at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, blasting a 6-foot-deep crater in the ground, shredding the facade of the hotel housing U.N. offices and

Veronique Taveau, a spokeswoman for the U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator, said the U.N. figure for the dead was 17 and 100 people were wounded.
"There are so many people who are still missing," she said.
Iaveau said the United Nations had temporarily suspended operations yesterday and that travel arrangements were being made for employees wanting to leave the country. Iraqi who work for the United Nations were told to stay home. Foreign workers were directed to lodgings scattered in many small hotels around the capital.
Vieira de Mello, who had left his job as U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights to go to Iraq on temporary assignment, was meeting with other U.N. officials when the explosion struck. A news conference was also under way in the building, where 300 U.N. employees had worked.
The 55-year-old veteran diplomat from Brazil was wounded and trapped in the rubble, and workers gave him water as they tried to extricate him.
Hours later, the United Nations announced his death.
U. N. and U.S. officials called the bombing a "terrorist attack," but there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

sports commentary
Jason Hwang jhwang@hansan.com
Support fall sports, not just basketball
My first request of the fall season is to ask every fan not to repeat the same old question. "When does basketball season start?"
It doesn't start until November, but that shouldn't give any Jayhawk fan the leeway to continue to shut their brains down as Jayhawk sports fans throughout the fall. Most of the fans who are following the fall season will only focus on the football team and may go to some of the games, if not all.
games, if not all.
Yes, these other fall sports are labeled by many as "non-revenue sports," and they don't get as much publicity as the others. However, these athletes work just as hard as those in football, men's and women's basketball and baseball.
Here is part one of two columns about some of the fall "non-revenue sports" that fans should take note. Swimming
Excitement is brewing as Clark Campbell and Brad Szurgot start their second seasons as Kansas swimming and diving coaches, respectively. The team finished fourth in the conference championship last spring in Austin, Texas, the highest finish since 2000. Look out for junior Amy Ruber, who was the first Jayhawk to compete in the NCAA championship meet since 1998. She posted three top 40 finishes in Auburn, Ala., in the weekend of March 22-23. Pay close attention for the influx of good freshman talent and two new topflight divers for the Jayhawks after Patti Stringham and Kristi Misejka graduated. Soccer
Swimming
Despite being ranked 31st by Soccer Buzz magazine, Kansas is picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 in a preseason poll. This lack of respect is a slap in the face to the Jayhawk players and coaches. Jayhawk fans, this should be the extra incentive to go see the soccer team work extra hard to disprove the critics by moving up in the Big 12. To do this, the Jayhawks must beat teams that are ranked higher. While some would consider SuperTarget Field as one of the worst in the fields in the Big 12, watch the Jayhawks use it as an intimidation factor to the opponents. Other than preseason All-Big 12 player sophomore Caroline Smith, junior Rachel Giffillan and sophomore Jackie Smith help keep pace to good team offensive attack. Junior Meghan Miller remains rock solid at the keeper position, with a 1.3 goals against average. Senior Maggie Mason said the team was more committed to one another as a team than ever before. This should result in a conference finish that will make the pollsters look clueless.
Rowing
Hwang is an Overland Park senior in communications.
Although the team finished last among conference varsity teams — Kansas, Texas and Kansas State — in the Big 12 Invitational last spring in Lawrence, the Jayhawks are destined to move up and su, pass their in-state rival in the next Big 12 Invitational. The 1st Novice 8 team finished first place in the Big 12 Invitational. Look for that type of experience to enable the team to gain more success under ninth-year coach Rob Catloth. Potential excitement of each race going to the last second should persuade many fans to attend home regattas at the Clinton Lake Marina and Burcham Park.

Fans gain faith from 'Hawks
By Ryan Greene rgreene@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Sometimes, there is more to college football than landing the big recruits or getting to a New Year's Day Bowl game.
"They like to be up close to the guys," Mandi Solko said.
getting to a New Year's Day
Lawrence residents James and Mandi Solko saw that first hand yesterday as they watched their sons Cameron, 9, and Braden, 4, meet and greet some Kansas football players and frolic on the Memorial Stadium turf at the annual Jayhawks Fan Appreciation Night.
The opportunity to get up close and personal with the Jayhawks' weekend warriors was one that thousands took part in, watching the team in an hour-long practice session, then hearing from the team captains and coach Mark Mangino about the upcoming season. The evening concluded by letting fans not only have an autograph session with the players, but also pretending to be their favorite Jayhawks on the field.
Both coach Mangino and his captains did their best to instill confidence in their loyal fans about the upcoming season, repeatedly promising to give the fans
something to truly cheer about
something to try cheer us up.
"We're just asking yall to stick with us," Bill Whittemore, KU quarterback, said. "We'll keep working our butts off."
Kansas Football Notes
Coach Mangino announced Monday in his weekly Big 12 teleconference that junior college transfer offensive lineman Johnny Urrutia has left the team to return home and clear up some academic issues.
The 6-foot-3, 323-pound offensive lineman who transferred from Mt. San Antonio College may return to the junior college in order to complete his academic requirements and could return to
KU as soon as second semester.
"He wants to come back and join the team," Mangino said. "We will certainly take him back."
Much like Kansas, Northwestern is looking to get off on the right foot August 30th in Lawrence following a disastrous 2002 campaign. In order to keep the Jayhawks from having the slightest advantage, the Wildcats recently ventured north to Kenosha, Wisc., and practiced on a field with an AstroPlay surface, which is the same surface in Memorial Stadium.

Tennis team to play for former assistant
By Jonah Ballow jballow@kansan.com Kansas sportswriter
Athletics Director Lew Perkins announced Aug. 13 that Kilmeny Waterman would step down and Amy Hall would become the coach after six seasons as an assistant.
Among the several changes in the athletics department, the Kansas tennis team will have a new coach for the start of the fall season.
"This was a very difficult decision because I love KU athletics and the people with whom I work," Waterman said. "However, it seems to be the right time to move on and explore different careers opportunities."
and explore the tanker. The Jayhawks held a 55-29 record under Waterman. The team's most impressive finish was in 2001-02 when it took second place in the Big 12 Conference and Waterman collected league coach of the year.
Hall has been a part of the team since 1997 with a two-year stint at Eastern Kentucky as the assistant coach for the men and women's teams before heading to the University of Kansas.

"It is a big change but coach Hall is capable of leading," Steinbock said. "She is not only well deserving of the job but she knows how to run this team."

Waterman
The Jayhawks are no stranger to adversity. The teams lost its indoor tennis courts in Lawrence and traveled to Kansas City for home matches last season. Kansas then struggled during the regular season with a 7-11 overall record and 3-8 in the conference. In the Big 12 Tournament the team fell short of advancing with a first round loss to the Colorado Buffaloes.
Heading into the Fall 2003 season the Jayhawks will be without one of its best players, junior Paige Brown. After a strong freshman year, Brown moved into the No. 2 singles position and No. 2 doubles for most of her sophomore season. Brown decided to transfer to Texas Christian University for the 2003-04 season.
"It's hard losing one of our top players but we will have to move on and press forward." Steinbock said.
The Jayhawks will begin their fall season with a tournament on Sept. 12 in Columbia, Mo.

No crime found in Williams' dispute
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Criminal charges won't be filed against two of Ted Williams' children who were accused by their brother-in-law of forging a note stating the slugger wanted to be frozen after death.
A laboratory analysis of the note determined Williams' signature appeared to be genuine. There is no way forgery could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, said assistant state attorney Mark Simpson
PETER BURRAND
He also said the note didn't fall into any category specified by law about which documents can be considered for a criminal forgery charge. In such a case, someone must be injured or defrauded and there
Williams
was no victim in the Williams complaint, Simpson said.
"Therefore, proving the note was not signed on the date of Nov. 2, 2000, or not signed in each others presence would not in and of itself prove a crime," Simpson wrote in a memo Friday. "The probate court remains the proper venue to resolve all the questions raised in this matter."
Williams' son-in-law said he was disappointed with the decision.
"I believe the note is fraudulent," Mark Ferrell said Monday.
The state attorney's office that covers Citrus County, where Williams lived, began the inquiry after Ferrell filed a complaint.
Ferrell's wife, Bobby-Jo Williams Ferrell, challenged the decision by her two siblings to send their father's body to an Arizona cryons company where it was frozen after his July 5, 2002 death.
She claimed Williams' 1996 will made clear he wanted to be cremated and his ashes scattered off the Florida coast. After running out of money to pay her legal bills, she dropped the challenge in December and reached a settlement with her siblings.
The grease-stained note, dated Nov. 2, 2000, is signed by Williams, who was then hospitalized, his son, John Henry Williams, and his daughter, Claudia Williams. They hope that one day medical science will bring their father back to life.
John Henry Williams didn't return a phone call Monday seeking comment, while Claudia Williams has an unlisted telephone number.
Two of Ted Williams' caretakers had also said Claudia Williams wasn't at the hospital on Nov. 2, 2000, and that she didn't know her father was there until days later.
Claudia Williams later submitted an affidavit stating she was there and signed the note with her father and brother. John Henry Williams' attorney has said the note became stained when his client left it in his car's trunk.
Talent, belief make'sleeping giant' wake
It's never too early to think about Kansas baseball.
The program regained some credibility last year after winning 35 games and competing in the Big 12 Tournament for the first time in school history. The team was led by first year coach Ritch Price, who vowed from day one of the job not to call it a rebuilding process.
Instead, he called the job a "sleeping giant."
Price knew what type of talent he had on his sonu and knew its potential.
For the first time in their collegiate careers, many players on the baseball team also realized their talent and potential. After that, there was no looking back for the 2003 Kansas Baseball Team.
Times have changed over the summer though. Many college baseball fans want to think Kansas is a one year fluke. Gone are Kansas' top hitter from 2003, Casey Spanish, and the top pitcher from last year's squad. Kevin Wheeler.
sports commentary
But what returns for the 2004 version of the Kansas baseball team is scary. The team will be led by All-Ameri

candidate, first baseman Ryan Baty. Baty returns for his senior season after not being selected in the June Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Baty batted .377 last year and led the team in doubles (23), runs batted in (57) and hits (97).
Baty did not take the summer off either. He was a member of the Hyannis Mets in the prestigious Cape Cod League, which uses wood bats. Baty was selected as the Mets representative in the All-Star game after the slugger from Wichita batted .289 and led the team in doubles and runs batted in.
Baty's supporting cast is impressive too.
Seniors Matt Tribble and Ryan Knippschild join Baty this season, along with junior Travis Metcalf and sophomore Ritchie Price.
Tribble started last season with an incredible 21-game hit streak. The right-fielder ended it by batting .339 in the team's No. 5 spot all season.
Knippschild spent the season last year as the team's No. 2 pitcher behind Wheeler, but that did not stop the left-hander from leading the team in victories. Knippschild returns with one year of big time college ball behind him as the team's legitimate No. 1 starter.
Metcalf returns after hitting 11 home runs last season, good for second on the team. The third baseman was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in June but turned down the offer. Ritch Price expects Metcalf to be picked in the top 10 rounds of next year's draft after another year of Big 12 baseball.
Ritchie Price is one of the most dependable players in college baseball right now. Beyond the shortstop's.954 fielding percentage, Price's leadership and playmaking ability makes the coach's son special to watch. And Price is only a sophomore, still adjusting to college ball.
more, so adjusting Coach Price wants the 2004 teams to surpass the 35 victories Kansas got last season. He took the right steps in the off-season by signing what he considers a top-25 recruiting class that would make an immediate impact on this team.
Price also put together an extremely tough non-conference schedule that includes trips to Stanford, Wichita State and Southwest Missouri State. Stanford and SMS both played in the College World Series last year.
Kansas has a legitimate opportunity at surprising a lot of people this year and finishing in the top four of the conference. They are led by a man who believes in them and in return, they believe in him.
Kansas sports fans do have a lot to look forward to in the 2003-04 season. That includes Kansas baseball's return to glory and making the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 10 years.
Yankees take another game from Kansas City
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The Yankees are rolling,and the Royals are reeling.
Roger Clemens got his 305th victory, and Nick Johnson and Juan Rivera homered as New York stretched its winning streak to seven by holding off Kansas City 8-7 yesterday.

overcame that against Jimmy Gobble (2-2), making his fourth major league start. Derek Jeter hit two-run single during a nine-pitch at-bat after falling behind 0-2 in the count to put the Yankees ahead 4-2.
Kansas City scored four runs in the ninth, getting seven straight hits, but fell short partly because of a baserunning error.
After Angel Berroa's RBI single in the ninth off Sterling Hitchcock, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera came in the game and eventually got two outs for his 27th save in 33 chances.

The 41-year-old right-hander, 8-2 in night games but just 4-5 in the afternoon, left with two on in the seventh and was replaced by 46-year-old left-hander Jesse Orosco, who struck out Brent Mayne. Orosco walked Aaron Guile, then Antonio Osuna came in and struck out Berroa.
Gobble started his big league career with a pair of wins over Tampa Bay but has since lost to

Aaron Boone, in a 7-for-43 slump, opened the bottom half with a double, Johnson singled and Juan Rivera doubled for the Yankees' first run. Rivera, recalled after Tuesday night's game, struggled with the Yankees earlier this season, hitting .237, but manager Joe Torre said he hoped the 25-year-old outfielder would relax with the knowledge he will be with the team for the rest of the season.
After Jeter's hit to shallow left, Bernie Williams singled for a 4-2 lead.
John Flaherty hit an RBI double in the third, and Johnson homed for a 7-2 advantage in the fifth. One out later, Rivera hit his second homer of the season, finishing Gobble.

Crouch, former Husker Heisman winner trades career in football for microphone
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Eric Crouch may not be playing football anymore, but he's still going to talk about it.
Crouch, the 2001 Heisman Trophy winner from Nebraska, signed a one year contract with Omaha television station KETV to serve as a football analyst.
Crouch will provide commentary as part of the station's Cornhusker coverage in addition to playing a role in local high school reports.
"It's a great opportunity, and it's kind of a natural for me," Crouch said Monday. "Here in Nebraska, a lot of people ask me my opinion. I might as well voice it and let it be heard."

ing to his hometown of Omaha on July 22.
"No one understands the Nebraska football program better than a former player," she said. "Obviously, Eric Crouch is a Husker hero."
Crouch said he had been looking for a possible broadcasting job since return-

Before that, Crouch had been working out with the Green Bay Packers. He decided to leave the team when it became apparent that he would not have an immediate opportunity to play quarterback.

Last year he walked out of the St. Louis Rams' training camp, saying his heart was not into playing receiver.
Crouch said other Omaha TV stations contacted him about a possible job, but KETV made the best offer. He would not disclose the terms of his contract.
Crouch appeared on The Golf Channel during two of its telecasts of the Omaha Classic tournament this month.
"I found it to be an interesting experience," he said. "After that, I thought broadcasting was something I could and should do."
"No one understands the Nebraska football program better than a former player. Obviously, Eric Crouch is a Husker hero."

Crouch said he would work two or three days a week for KETV. He said he also is exploring opportunities to serve as a spokesman for a financial brokerage, an insurance company and a wellness center. He already is a spokesman for a car dealership in Glenwood, Iowa.
Crouch was an exercise science major at Nebraska. He said he has never taken a broadcasting class.
"Being in front of the cameras in Lincoln and doing hundreds of interviews was like getting a broadcasting minor," he said.
Chiefs Jones retires after neck injury
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oft-injured Chiefs offensive tackle Willie Jones, who sprained his neck and temporarily lost feeling in his body during the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 4, announced his retirement Tuesday.
The 6-foot-6, 555-pound Jones lay motionless for nearly 10 minutes after a hit near the end of the second quarter against the Green Bay Packers. He suffered a similar injury on Nov. 7 last year in practice and sat out the rest of the season.
"He was injured and that's the last he played, but I can't say for specific reasons that's why he retired," Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore said Tuesday. "Retirement was a decision he made. He obviously gave it some consideration."
Jones appeared in 18 games during four seasons in the National Football League.

Jayhawklogo retakes center court replaces state of Kansas emblem
By John Domoney
jdomoney@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The state of Kansas is out and the Jayhawk is in at center court in Allen Fieldhouse.
After being absent from mid-court since the days of Larry Brown, the Jayhawk will return as the logo at center court.
with the logo at centerk, which will be nearly 20 feet tall, replaces the state of Kansas emblem with a block "K" that stood at midcourt since the beginning of the 1998-99 basketball campaign.
"I think having the Jayhawk at center court is a great idea," said Jason Plagman, Storm Lake, Iowa, senior. "The Jayhawk I'm sure is much more recognizable to someone watching

a basketball game on television than the outline of the state of Kansas."
The giant Jayhawk is part of a project to sand down and repaint the floor of James Naismith Court began earlier this month. Brad Nachtigal, KU
director of facilities and events, said the decision to do the project was made back in February.
An outside vendor sanded down the floor and painted it with two coats of sealer.
New athletics director Lew Perkins and the basketball staff chose between eight designs while the floor was being sanded down and sealed, Nachtigal said.
"It mainly came down to choosing between different color schemes," Nachtigal said.
The ongoing painting of the floor is being done by in-house designers D.W. Acker and Nate Hofer who came up with the different options for the floor design.
The actual floor has been in
place since the start of the 1992- 93 season. The hardwood playing surface has seen several changes at center court during the past 11 years.
A yellow state of Kansas emblem was in place before the block "K" replaced the yellow on the state outline in 1998.
That year the court was renamed James Naismith Court as part of the basketball program's 100-year celebration. The name James Naismith Court will remain painted on both baselines in the new design.

The completion of the entire project is set for Sept. 2 and costs around $15,000. Nachtigal said.

Baylor player may be held in Maryland for up to 90 days
The Associated Press
CHESTERTOWN, Md. — Carlton Dotson appeared in court Tuesday for the first time since July 22, a day after he was arrested and charged with killing former Baylor teammate Patrick Denney near Waco, Texas.
As required by Maryland law, Kent County District Court Judge Floyd Parks held a 30-day status review of the fugitive warrant under which Dotson has been held at the Kent County Detention Center.
another 60 days while Texas prosecutors seek a grand jury indictment needed to begin the extradition process.
Prosecutors here filed a motion last week asking the count for permission to hold Dotson, 21, for
process.
"They should be done in another week or so." Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Flanagan told the judge Tuesday.
Parks granted the motion, to
which defense attorneys did not object, but he warned Flanagan that Dotson could not be held for more than 90 days. "Ninety days is it." Parks said.
Defense attorneys reiterated that they had not waived extradition, but they said little else.
Dennehy's body was found in a
field near Waco on July 25, four days after Dotson was charged with murder. An autopsy report showed that he died of two gunshot wounds to the head.
Dennehy's disappearance in mid-June, and the naming of Dotson as a "person of interest" in the case, prompted intense scrutiny of
Baylor and no basketball coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton resigned Aug. 8. School investigators said they discovered that Bliss was involved in two players receiving improper financial aid, and that staff members did not properly report failed drug tests.

The rules have changed; Americans need to adjust
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tracy McGrady, a newcomer to international basketball, was given a pop quiz: How do you call a timeout?
mindout.
"Put your hands together like this?" McGrady answered, shaped the shape of a "T."
forming the shape of Wrong, Tracy, you can't call a
Wrong, Tracy, timeout. None of the players can.
"The coach has to call a timeout? That shows you how much I know about international play," McGrady said. "I'm clueless."

Brown
about it."
McGrady will become less clueless over the next several days as the players on the U.S. Olympic qualifying team are schooled in the differences between international and NBA rules.
Aside from timeouts, there are other rules that permit basket interference, restrict substitutions and limit the number of jump balls to two per game.
"As I was telling the guys today, it's almost like it's a different sport," U.S. coach Larry Brown said.
McGrady has never played under international rules, which also call for a smaller court (by 2 feet, 2 inches), a wider lane (trapezoidal rather than rectangular), a shorter game clock (40 minutes instead of 48), a less difficult 3-point distance (201/2 feet vs. the NBA's 23 feet, 9 inches) and the absence of any illegal defense rules.
"The timeout one is tricky. The substitutions are tricky, the officiating is different. It's just a totally different game," said Tim
Duncan, who was a member of the 1999 qualifying team.
the 1999 qualifying the lack of a basket interference rule allows anyone to touch the ball after it has hit the rim even if it is still in the cylinder. What would be called defensive goaltending in the NBA is allowed under FIBA rules.
allowed me to
Sean Ford, the USA Basketball assistant executive director, took particular pride in recalling how, during the recent Pan American Games, Rickey Pauling of Missouri plucked a would-be basket off the rim, saving two points in what became a one-point U.S. victory over Argentina.
Argentina. American players have historically had difficulty with the rule because they have always been taught to leave the ball alone until it caroms away from the rim.
rim.
"It's nearly impossible to switch your mind to do that," Duncan said. "You're so used to protecting yourself and staying away from the rim, but those guys internationally they do it so well. Even if the ball goes straight in they're slamming their head on the rim to make sure."
Then there is the matter of the referees, who are usually as unpredictable as they are unapproachable. In last year's gold medal game between Argentina and Yugoslavia at the World Championships, the game was decided in large part by an egregious non-call at the end of regulation.
fIBA refs, you never know them or get a feel for what they're going to call," Jason Kidd said. "With the language, they might not speak any (English). They might understand it, but they might not speak it — and that could be one of the toughest barriers."
The U.S. team will bring two FIBA referees, one from Brazil;
the other from Puerto Rico, to practice beginning Tuesday to help the players get accustomed to the different officiating.
to the dukes of FIFA has adopted three rules changes that will go into effect at this year's Olympic qualifiers:
this year's olympic events — eliminating 24-second violations for missed shots when the shot clock buzzer sounds as the ball is in flight.
eliminating the rule that limited coaches to one timeout in each of the first three quarters, switching to two first-half timeouts and three in the second half.
— eliminating jump balls, except at the start of each half, and going to the alternate possession rule.
Before they focus on the rules, Brown wants his team to concentrate on playing the right way. He interrupted a controlled scrimmage Monday to upbraid Mike Bibby for hoisting a long jumper from the side.
"If I'm your teammate, I don't want you taking that shot," Brown said. "We've got to get fouled or get layups. Try to do that."
Teaching the newcomers the rules and getting the team to mesh as a unit are two of the tasks facing Brown as the team prepares for the Olympic qualifying tournament beginning Aug. 20 in Puerto Rico.
"Most important, and it sounds simplistic, is we have to have the realization that it is a different basketball game," assistant coach Gregg Popovich said.
"When we're on offense we have to realize they (the defense) are all sagged in the lane. There's no illegal D, there's no openings anywhere, they're all just hanging in there, which means ball and people movement are the keys. And in the (NBA), ball and people movement are at a premium. You do that and it's a miracle."

Miami football looks to continue success with new combinations
By Eric Kalis
The Miami Hurricane via U-WIRE
University of Miami
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — It is hard to say if this is a good sign or not, but this year's University of Miami football team was already getting headlines this spring for a variety of reasons. Now, the Miami Hurricanes hope to rack up the headlines this fall as well.
In what was a controversial but entertaining spring, fans found out a lot about the 2003 Hurricanes. The most important question was answered when Larry Coker named Brock Berlin as the starter over underdog Derrick Crudup.
Coker pointed to Berlin's physical skills and big-game ability as reasons for naming him the official starter.
Crudup's father questioned quarterbacks coach Dan Werner's ethics during team meetings. The situation resolved itself but not before it appeared in national newspapers and on ESPN.
"I've been very impressed with both players," Coker said. "Brock, having had very little time in the offense, has really made tremendous strides in the offense. I think the same thing with Derrick. I've really seen Derrick come miles. I think we can win with both of those players on our football team at quarterback."
The quarterback controversy almost became a race issue when
wspapers and on LBW "We had a very productive meeting in which we discussed several issues," Coker said. "We are all in agreement that race was not an issue in deciding the quarterback competition. The Crudups regret that coach Werner was unfairly labeled."
Werner was ultimately tasked The'Canes will have a different look in other positions as well.
enced line.
Only a few months removed from Willis McGahee's remarkable 2002 season, the Hurricanes are looking to Frank Gore for a repeat performance from his freshman campaign in 2001. Gore was expected to be last season's starter before injuring his ACL in the spring. Fully recovered, Gore will have to take some pressure off of Berlin by having big rushing games.
The offensive line must overcome the losses of Brett Romberg and Sherko Haji-Rasouli by putting together a makeshift line featuring converted tight end Eric Winston. Senior Vernon Carey has already been put on the watch list for the Outland Trophy and is expected to anchor the inexperienced line.
U
Seniors Jon Vilma and D.J. Williams should dominate the middle of the field. Vilma has been listed as a candidate for the Nagurski Award. The secondary did not suffer any losses from last season and should be one of the most sound units in the nation. The combination of Maurice Sikes, Sean Taylor, Antrel Rolle, Glenn Sharpe, and Kelly Jennings should rack up interceptions and make opposing receivers frightened
primary target for Seniors Kevin Beard and Jason Geathers will also look to come up with critical catches during the season. Kellen Winslow is expected to build on his breakout 2002 season and become the best tail end in the country.
ity after Andre Johnson declared for the draft and Ethenic Sands graduated. Sophomore Roscoe Parrish handles most of the kick returning duties and will also be a primary target for Berlin.
While the offensive unit has many unanswered questions, the defense should be near the top of the country, returning many starters and looking impenetrable as a unit during the spring.
to go over the middle of the field.
It is hard to imagine how a team that lost so many players to the draft will be able to immediately duplicate last year's success with different players at key positions. But that is the beauty of Hurricanes football. No matter what combination of guys the 'Canes put out on the field, they always find a way to win.
start the season.
There are several newcomers expected to make an immediate contribution. Tyrone Moss could earn some carries backing up Gore and Jarrett Payton, and Terrell Walden looks to emerge as a nickel back in the secondary.
The defensive line will be anchored by tackle Vince Wilfork, who was a candidate to leave for the draft after a breakout 2002 campaign. Wilfork chose to stay, much to the delight of the Hurricanes, and should team up with end David Williams to swallow up ball carriers. Despite the kicking situation not being etched in stone, it seems that Mark Gent will replace Todd Sievers after an impressive spring that featured several 50-plus yard field goals. Jon Peattie will be the punter to start the season.
CU lineup solidified before CSU game

still undecided who will kick off.
BOULDER, Colo. — Walk-on Joel Klatt's leadership and skills convinced Colorado coach Gary Barnett that the former minor league baseball player should start Aug. 30 against archrival Colorado State.

Barnett said he suspended safety Clyde Surrell and linebacker Thaddaeus Washington for the Aug. 30 game. Both are expected to be defensive contributors this season. Barnett said cornerback Allen Mackey was transferring to Sacramento State.

as a starter, he said. "I just kind of came out here and had that walk-on mentality. I tried to bust my butt and everything kind of fell into place since then," Klatt said.
Klatt, who was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 11th round in 2000, played three summers with three Class A teams as a first and third baseman.

FBI gathers information on former Tiger Clemons
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Boone County authorities have given the FBI more than two dozen hours of recorded jailhouse phone conversations of former University of Missouri basketball player Ricky Clemons, Sheriff Ted Boehm said Tuesday.
The FBI declined to comment about why it gathered the phone recordings and incoming mail for Clemons, who is serving a 60-day sentence after pleading guilty to false imprisonment of his former girlfriend.
girlfriend.
The NCAA is separately investigating allegations made by the former girlfriend, Jessica Bunge, that Clemons received cash, clothing and cheated on exams while playing for Missouri.
"I can confirm that we provided the FBI with the phone recordings and the mail of Ricky Clemons," Boehm told The Associated Press.
Associated Attendees Boehm's comments were the first law enforcement acknowledgment of the FBI's interest in Clemons, who was kicked off the basketball team and had his athletic scholarship revoked in July.
after a judge ordered him to jail.
PRESIDENT
Clemons
He has been incarcerated since mid-July. Clemons is scheduled to be released on Sunday,but he will remain on probation
Clemons' attorney, Wally Bley,
said he was unaware the FBI had
any interest in his client.
Clemons is declining all interview requests, Bley said.
FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza in Kansas City said he could not comment.
comment.
Boehm said the FBI request came last week. The county jail supervisor, Maj. Warren Brewer, said his staff put some 28 hours of Clemons' incoming and outgoing calls at the jail on compact disks for the FBI. Brewer said incoming and outgoing calls for prisoners were routinely recorded.
recorded. The AP had sought release of the recordings under a larger request for records in the Clemons case. But Brewer said
the recordings, usually considered public records, could not be released "because they are part of an ongoing investigation."
of an ongoing Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden said no one on his staff had spoken with the FBI and that he was not aware of its interest in Clemons until speaking with an AP reporter. The athletic department has said it was cooperating with the NCAA investigation.
A spokesman for the school said Snyder would not have any comment Tuesday night.
Clemons was a junior college transfer, a guard who averaged 14.2 points per game last season. He was arrested after a January incident in which Bunge said the athlete choked her in a headlock, yanked her hair and wouldn't allow her to leave his Columbia apartment for about an hour after they argued.
The 23-year-old Clemons pleaded guilty in April to a misdemeanor charge of false imprisonment of Bunge.
Coach Quin Snyder has denied that Clemons received money, but the coach acknowledged giving Clemons a few items of promotional clothing that he planned to discard.

Emotion shows with Brazilian volleyball players
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
Kansan Sportwriter
As the ball goes flying over the net it smacks a teammate square on the wrist, sending it飞ing in the other direction. Jana Correa can only smile.
The 5-foot-11-inch freshman from northeast Brazil, is the newest phenomenon on the University of Kansas volleyball team.
Correa, who has been at the University since January, has had a little time to adjust to being in the United States.
"It's been good," she said. "But very different."
Fortunately for Correa, sophomore middle blocker Josi Lima, who has been friends with Correa since she was 15, is on the team also.
Since the freshman outside hitter has only been speaking English for five months, Lima is by her side to help her adjust to a new style of play.
Lima said she and Correa com
plimented each other perfectly on and off the court. Lima said she remembered adjusting to a different kind of volleyball than she was used to just one year ago.
Lima said volleyball was played with more technique in the United States, but in Brazil it was played with more emotion.
It isn't hard to tell Correa plays with emotion, even during practice. She smiled after every point, and was constantly jumping around, having fun as if she were back in her hometown playing again.
Coach Ray Bechard said coming a semester early had a lot to do with that.
Coach Bechard said Correa's early arrival was helpful to the team and it would have been more difficult for her to adjust if she had come to the University in August.
But, it's not like Correa isn't used to big changes.
lot of volleyball," she said. "So I went to Pao Paulo to play."
When she was 14 she decided volleyball would be a big part of her life.
"My hometown did not have a
There she met Lima, who was her teammate and opponent on the volleyball court. When Lima came to the University a year earlier, Correa decided it was the place for her to go.
Now that Correa is adjusting well and Lima is committed to continuing the success that earned her first-team all Big 12 Conference honors last year, the NCAA Tournament is a possibility.
"Our goal is to go to the NCAA Tournament," said Lima. "We are very close as teammates."
That might have something to do with how they became so close to the tournament last year. Or it could be Lima's earth-shattering spikes and Correa's confident swagger.
But whatever the reason, Correa and Lima, along with veterans Sarah Rome, Ashley Michaels and Abbie Jacobson, have the Jayhawks ready to take on the big 12.

Busch warned while Spencer fined, suspended from race
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jimmy Spencer's appeal of his one-week NASCAR suspension for punching Kurt Busch was denied yesterday, meaning "Mr. Excitement" will be parked this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway.
In upholding the penalty, the National Stock Car Racing Commission found that regardless of "alleged provocation or the exact magnitude of the physical contact, an inappropriate line had been crossed."
Spencer was suspended from all NASCAR-sanctioned events through Aug. 26 after the altercation with Busch at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday. He was also fined $25,000 and placed on probation until
the end of the year.
A three-member panel of the commission, which heard the appeal yesterday, said Spencer "made a compelling argument, expressing remorse and acknowledging that his actions were wrong."
However, the commission noted that NASCAR previously warned Spencer about his relationship with Busch and had
been "put on notice" to tone it down.
Bristol is the site of one of his first altercations with Busch, who bumped Spencer out of the way to score his first career victory in 2002.
Busch was placed on probation after Sunday's race. He said yesterday he would not appeal.
But a tape released Tuesday of his radio conversation with his
crew indicated he may have purposely tried to "flatten" Spencer's fender earlier in the race.
Busch said, "See, I'm not very good at being bad. I was trying to flatten the 7 car (Spencer) fender and I got mine. I needed to be further forward on his car."
Someone on his crew responded, "They just showed that on TV. You just missed by about an inch or two. Ah, not far
After the event, Busch said his car ran out of gas near Spencer's hauler in the garage area.
Witnesses said Spencer pulled in and hit Busch's car from behind. He then reportedly jumped from his car, approached Busch's window and punched the driver in the face.

Busch suffered a bloodied nose and chipped tooth.

THURSDAY
21/2 white guys. This
band is actually five musicians whose music brought the beats of calypso and reggae to their home-town of Salt Lake City. And now they are bringing it to us. 21/2 White Guys has been around since 1997 and has opened for such bands as No Doubt, Everclear, Cake and Bush. If you want to act like you're a real groupie and not just some trend-follower, do a little name dropping at the show. It's Nathan Robinson on the guitar and lead vocals, Rob Ringger on the keyboard, Darrin Whitaker on the trumpet, Dan Nelson on the bass and backup vocals, Mark Fagg on the drums, Marc Nuttall on the sax and Kurt Gordon on the lead guitar. The show starts at 8 p.m. at The Jazzhaus. Tickets are $3.
I will not use your image.
Marc Nuttall and Nathan Robinson will play tonight at The Jazzhaus. So will the rest of their band, 21/2 White Guys.

COSMOPOLITAN CUISINE CRUISES INTO LAWRENCE
Chef and owner Somporn "Sam" Parakhen prides himself on creating an authentic dining experience at Thai House. Not only are the entrees traditional Thai cuisine, but the staff wears authentic garb from Thailand. The scene is cozy and serene with a sleek interior. Not familiar with Thai food? Try the Pad Thai: soft rice noodles with your choice of meat stir-fried with mild spices and topped with crushed peanuts and fresh bean sprouts. Vegetarian dishes are available. Also featuring daily specials from 11a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Meat Market
ABOVE: Bun Ga Nuong, a bed of rice vermicelli topped with fresh vegetables and charbroiled chicken, is served with imperial house sauce at The Orient, 1006 Massachusetts St. LOWER LEFT: The Pocket Za at Rudy's Pizza, 704 Massachusetts, is made with cheese, sauce and the customer's choice of three ingredients from the menu. LOWER RIGHT: The Yello Sub from Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St., includes roast beef, ham, turkey, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lettuce and tomatoes. The restaurant offers a variety of sandwich options, including vegetarian combinations.

This sports bar and grill claims to be the nicest cheap restaurant on the planet and well...it is inexpensive, so don't let the un-traditional sports bar interior fool you. The downtown eatery does have all the sports bar necessities — cheap beer, burgers and two plasma screen TVs — but the decor is slightly modern and expensive looking. But it's still a great place to kick back. Angie Little, wait staff manager said the GooBurger is the item to try if you're new to The Meat Market. The GooBurger has Goo Cheese (which, according to legend, was mined from the magical Cheese Mountain by the dazzling Goons), mushrooms, grilled onions and bacon. Ordering the GooBurger won't put a dent in your wallet. It's $3.95, and that includes fries. And don't forget the fried Twinkies for dessert, a la mode.

Pop. A large blue straw pierced a vacuum-sealed plastic cup of bright green honeydew tea. No one seemed to notice the sudden noise. Most were deep in conversation or buried in magazines. Karaoke videos from Hong Kong filled the room with music punctuated by wild dance beats. On the television, six men were dancing in baggy pants on a lighted floor. Now, a pale woman begins a new song crooning in sad, almost doleful Cantonese.
Looking down at the cup, the famous Japanese cartoon character Hello Kitty stares back in a hat. Emblazoned on it, flanked by Chinese characters, are the words "We are Hat Family." The tea is sweet and smooth. It would be the perfect way to begin a day in Shanghai, that is of course, if this wasn't at Pochi Tea Station, 105 E. 10th St., in the middle of Lawrence.
Pochi is an example of the many restaurants in Lawrence that sell food and drinks, which range from the exotic to the humorous.
This will be a guide to a few of these places, which will highlight Lawrence's colorful culinary landscape of Tijuana Taxis, Phat Thai and Wired Russians.
They Came, They 'Za,' They Conquered
Descending the stairs into Rudy's, named after the owner's now deceased dog, one first sees the silhouette of a Chinese dragon on a wall and a small fountain. Perhaps a vestige of past ownership, it sets an interesting tone to the restaurant's atmosphere. Though the entrance may hold slight traces of the Far East, the
Though not exotic in the dictionary sense, Rudy's Pizzeria, 704 Massachusetts St., contains its own charm and a memorable special.
smell of the cooking cheese on the pizzas and the loud rock music streaming from the speakers definitely remind one it's American.
The counter often bustles with activity, as it did last Saturday evening, with patrons choosing from more than 30 toppings for their pizzas. Others opted for something different — the Pocket-Za.
Josh Reese, Rudy's manager, says the Pocket-Za is basically a pocket pizza.
"It's very popular," he says. "Sometimes, depending on the night, as popular as a slice of pepperoni pizza."
Rudy's offers the Pocket-Za, with up to three toppings, to be cooked with cheese and sauce in a
white or wheat crust. Prices for the dish range from $3.70 for a personal size to $8.70 for a large.
Goo Goo Ga-Sub
Maybe it was a mix made in heaven. Maybe it was a fluke, or maybe they thought it was fun. Nevertheless, the sandwich

making and a Beatle's song unite at the Lawrence mainstay.
The atmosphere at Yello Sub is laid back, and surreal paintings of seascapes cover the walls.
Smells of freshly baking bread are strong and mingle with the music that fills the store.
In town for more than 20 years, and at two locations, 624 W.12th St. and 1814 W.23rd St., Yello Sub creates several signature sandwiches.
Its signature sandwich, aptly named the Yello Sub, is a meat-eater's fantasy. It contains ham, turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, Dijon and mayo.
Yello Sub also ventures south of the border with the "Tijauna Taxi," a roast beef sandwich with American cheese, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato and mayo. It also offers a wide array of vegetarian sandwiches. Prices for the sandwiches at range from $3.19 to $4.29 for a six-inch, and from $6.19 to $7.69 for a foot-long.
For a Daily Grind
Nestled behind The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St., lies Café Luna, 12th and Oread. Its spacious, checkered floors give it a timeless, your-grandparents-mayhave-hung-out-here-but-it'sstill-cool type of look.
Multiple chessboards and board games are scattered throughout the store for those inclined to play. Café Luna also has concerts from time to time, both inside and out on the large porch.
The overall atmosphere is relaxed; the shop lends itself
nicely for studying. The drinks, however, lend themselves to vast amounts of caffeine and bad puns.
The signature drink, the "Lunabomber," is composed of brewed coffee and several shots of espresso. Another signature drink, the "Wired Russian," was created by part owner Brian Kalar.
"It is a coffee version of the white Russian, except instead of putting in alcohol we use four shots of espresso," Kalar says.
The price of a 16-ounce "Lunabomber" is $2.75, and the price of a similarly sized "Wired Russian" is $4.25.
A prime example of Lawrence's lush ethnic food scene is The Orient, 1006
Orientation
The Orient specializes in Vietnamese cuisine, which tends to rely on vegetables and soups more heavily than other ethnic Asian foods.
Massachusetts St.
The restaurant itself is cozy: it is well lit, yet booths are spaced well enough that any conversation could still be intimate. It has a wide variety of both Northern and Southern Vietnamese cuisine, which can be spicy but not as much as other Asian foods.
One of the specialties of the house is the Phat Tai, which is flavorful rice noodles that can be mixed with vegetables or meat. It also makes excellent spring rolls.
chicken in a spicy sauce, which is then charbroiled and served on top of rice.
For an authentic taste of Southern Vietnam, as the menu states, one can try the Bun or rice dishes. Bun Ga Nuong, for instance, consists of marinated
The Orient also has a wide selection of vegetarian dishes.
Nancy Nguyen, owner, says the food is not too heavy. "When you leave you feel full but not weighed down," she says.
Prices for most entrees range from $5.99 to $6.99
Stay Tuned to the Tea Station
The Pochi Tea Station is a bright store with lime green walls and two levels. At first visit it may seem somewhat strange, similar to the set of a variety TV show or a music video.
But the atmosphere is pleasant and helps accentuate that the experience is unlike most American dining.
One example is the signature drink, Bubble Tea. Originated in Taiwan, Bubble Tea is basically a tea, fruit or milk drink that has either soft tapioca pearl coconut jelly or lychee, a nutlike fruit of the Chinese lychee tree, added to it.
Apart from the Bubble Tea, Pochi also serves several Indonesian dishes.
Erlinda Tjhai, owner, says the food is influenced by both Indian and Chinese foods.
"We use different spices than them, also more coconut milk so it's sweeter," she says.
Tjhai says some of the most popular dishes are the curried chicken, or Chicken Kari, and Chicken Satay. Another tasty dish is the Bakmi, made with homemade noodles and served
with a chicken meatball soup.
Pochi brings together a wide range of people and offers an easy out to end boredom.
Price of all entrees: $4.85.
The drinks range from $2.95 to
$3.95.
India for a Treat
The meals at India Palace are fit for a king, or perhaps just someone in a curry. Known as one of the top Indian restaurants in the country, India Palace brings more exotic food to Lawrence.
Walking into the restaurant, one first notices the arched doorways and the haunting Arabic music playing in the speakers. The aroma of exotic spices also floats through the air, and the lighting is dim, which helps set the mood.
The menu is diverse, offering many meat and vegetarian dishes along with a wide selection of breads.
One way to experiment with the menu is to go to a lunch buffet. The buffet offers most of the menu at one price. One can fill up on basmati rice or attack the fiery Chicken Vindalu.
Gurdey Choong, owner of India Palace, says Kansas City has the restaurant as well, but that this one is in tune to Lawrence.
"We have a similar menu," Choong says. "But our price is better for the students and the community."
Price for the lunch buffet is $6.95. It runs from 11:30 a.m.to 2:15 p.m.Monday through Friday and from 11:30 a.m.to 2:45 p.m.Saturday and Sunday.

MEETING UP IS HARD TO DO
By Becky Rogers
brogers@kansan.com
Jayplay staff writer
"Hey baby. What's your sign?" just does not get you as far anymore. The dating scene has changed on college campuses. Today, students are dating less and hooking up more.
According to a study commissioned by the Independent Women's Foundation, hooking up is "a distinctive sex-withoutcommitment interaction between college women and men, is widespread on-campuses and profoundly influences campus culture, although a minority of students engage in it." On the other hand, dating on college campuses is defined as a fast-moving, highly committed relationship that involves spending lots of time together but rarely going out. Formal dating has been abandoned in favor of hanging out, which is less structured.
College life has filled the place in no-man's land between adolescence and adulthood. Students take this time as a final opportunity to have fun and be free before joining the real world and settling down with a job and all the pressure that comes with it. Dating in college has adopted the same form. Hook-ups are more casual than dating but still allow students to test out the dating scene.
"People want to have fun," Lydia Kim, Olathe senior, says. "College is a new experience and a time to try new things. Casual dating helps you meet more people than sticking to one person in a relationship."
Several factors shifted the
change in attitude about dating on college campuses. During the sexual revolution, attitudes toward extramarital sex softened allowing greater freedom within relationships. During this time colleges also started relaxing their rules regarding student housing. Colleges took over where parents left off, segregating men and women. Standards slowly relaxed, and students began to live closer together.
"This deals with our entire society," Kim says. "People are constantly seeing dating as casual through TV, and so they imitate that in real life."
Marriage, however, still remains a major life goal for most college women. According to the survey, 83 percent of college women still aspire towards marriage.
The new survey stresses the hook-up culture has almost no shared norms or expectations. This leads to mixed feelings regarding relationships and roles among those who hook up.
"It totally varies from person to person. Some guys want to pay for everything, and some want to split it fifty-fifty," Kim says.
Even though the definitions have changed, the rules remain the same. Unwritten rules about flirting and meeting people guide both hooking up and dating. One misstep and you may be going home alone. A little preparation can save you from embarrassment later on. Coordinator at It's Just Lunch, Kelly Castor, gave Jayplay some do's and don'ts for the dating scene. It's Just Lunch is a dating service in Kansas City for professional men and women.
Don't Try Too Hard to Impress
When getting ready to go out, do not overdo it, Castor says. Ladies, keep your makeup and perfume to a minimum, and stay away from hairstyles and clothing trends that you have not tried before. It is important to look your best, but you still want to be comfortable. If you are not comfortable, the person you are talking to will not be comfortable. It is hard to get to know someone if they appear unapproachable.
Have Confidence
"Belief in one's self makes all things possible," author and life coach for ivillage.com, Katherine Martin, says. Confidence works like a magnet drawing other people to you. When others are looking at you to decide whether they want to approach you, they can read your opinion of yourself through your body language, she says. Maintain good posture, smile, and make eye contact. All of these signals tell other people that you are worth checking out.
Strike Up a Conversation
According to the Social Issues Research Center Web site, most people are afraid to approach someone because they do not know what to say. According to the Web site, 55 percent of an initial impression is based on
appearance and body language. 38 percent on the style of speech, and 7 percent on what is actually said. When in doubt, it is always good to start by introducing yourself and asking questions about the other person. Stick to subjects that you are comfortable with and that reveals things about your personality such as special interests and hobbies. Castor says. Be wary of saying too much. This is not the time to rehash old relationships or to start a political or religious debate. Mind your manners.

"Stay away from food that is hard to eat like spaghetti or that will get stuck in your teeth like spinach." Castor says.
Try not to drink too much either. Believe it or not, attractiveness can actually decrease with the number of drinks you have.
Lastly, relax, have fun, and smile.
"Remember," Castor says. "If he's not the one, he's got friends."
WHO KNEW?
There are 100 million single adults in the United States.
79% of men take just 15 minutes on a first date to decide whether or not to see the person again.
$201 is the average amount men spend on dates per month. compiled from it's Just Lunch
SO WHERE DO I GO?
People out looking for that special someone tend to frequent the bars and clubs more often than those who already are hooked up. However, bars and clubs are not the only place to meet new people. There are places all around you that give you a head start by connecting
you with people that will have similar interests.
Gyms, churches and cultural events around the city will help you find people that share common hobbies and activities. Here you gain a head start. Automatically, there is a topic of conversation and an excuse to approach someone you are interested in.
The informal atmosphere at colleges also makes it easier to start a conversation, says Kate Fox from the Social Issue Research Center. Here you know you will find a diverse group of people that share at least the same goal of education as you do. Look into joining a student group or organization. Places like the Kansas Union have plenty of
events to attend and places like the Jaybowl to hang out.
Lastly, do not overlook the small things. Get to know the person sitting next to you on the bus or in class and start a conversation. The key to meeting people is getting to know the ones already around you. You never know who you might find.

EXTREME EXERCISE
If the thought of exercising to the sounds of treadmills, clinking weight machines and the latest Christina Aguilera single evokes a nauseating feeling, perhaps outdoor activities with an extreme edge sound more appealing.
When thinking extreme, rugby often comes to mind. The University offers this club sport for men and women.
"There is more camaraderie in this sport than any other," says KU women's rugby coach Sarah Ratzlaff.
The practices are open to anyone who is interested. The men's team practices at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Westwick Rugby Complex. The women's team practices at 6:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays also at Westwick.
PARAMO
The KU Rock Climbing Club is about to become more extreme this year with the upcoming opening of the University's new recreation center.
"The new wall has so many possibilities such as lead climbing, overhanging sections, crack climbing, hanging belays and amazing boulder," says KU Rock Climbing club president Evan Kay. "Besides that, we venture all over the place, including extreme places such as Moab, Utah, and this year possibly Yosemite, Calif."
Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge, has a 12,306 square-foot skating facility. This skate-boarder's delight features street courses with halfpipes, quarter-pipes and a plaza.
When the new Recreation Center opens on Sept. 15, the club will meet from 7:30 p.m.to 9:30 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays.Open climbing time for all KU students will be available on multiple days and times.
The park is also home to an 18- hole disc golf course that is free for public use. Maps and scorecards are available at all Lawrence Parks and Recreation centers and at Bucky's Drive-In, 2120 W. Ninth St. Edgewood Park, 1245 E. 15th St., has a figure-eight BMX track where motorized vehicles are prohibited. Racquetball courts, basketball courts and tennis courts are also available for the public at select Lawrence Parks and Recreation facilities, but require reservations.

SIZE MATTERS

With the exception of at-home workouts, KU's facilities are the cheapest way to get in shape. However, because of Robinson's limited space and the new Student Recreational Fitness Center not opening its doors until mid-September, some students are looking for a gym away from campus.
Whether it's because of an aspiration to live a healthy lifestyle or the desire to look appealing for that delicious enticement in math class, students seek facilities that will help them stay fit.
The choices of where to become able-bodied are many and students need to understand the options available to them to find facilities that correspond to their needs.
That's why Jayplay has broken it all down for you.
Students should consider taking advantage of the offers at Lawrence Parks and Recreation's facilities. The Community Building and the East Lawrence and Holcolm Park centers contain complete public weight rooms and are expecting $15,000 worth of new equipment in September.
Lawrence Parks and Recreation offers a wide array of inexpensive fitness classes: aerobic, boot camp, cardio combat, dance, yoga, aquatic, gymnastics and martial arts.
All aerobic and cardio classes range from $30 to $42 for eight-week sessions. All other classes are of comparable prices.
or comparable price If you are willing to drop a little more cash to obtain that rock-hard body, Lawrence Athletic Club is a
popular choice among KU students.
It advertises that the club is the most comprehensive fitness center in Lawrence. And that's no wonder considering its north branch, 3201 Mesa Way, is 30,000 square feet complete with two cardio theaters, mirrored aerobic room, Paramount weight room, free weight room, racquetball court, basketball court and an indoor-outdoor pool.
When members join the North Branch they are able to utilize the facilities at their two other locations: the South Branch, 2108 W. 27th St. Suite C, and the East Branch, 1202 23rd St, Suite D.
"LAC is a nice getaway from the campus," says Blair Barr, Lawrence Athletic Club sales representative.
Lawrence Athletic Club is the only fitness club in Lawrence that offers a cycling class. Muscle-up,
yoga, pilates, boot camp and yoga booty ballet classes are also offered.
Unfortunately, Barr would not give Jayplay the rate information requested. LAC wants prospective clients to see its facilities first-hand before talking money. However, Blair said membership prices were affordable and, if used frequently, amounts to less than a dollar a day. It sometimes offer specials for students, sorority and fraternity members and corporations.
A smaller, more intimate environment can be found at Therapy Works Wellness Center, Sixth and Maine streets. The 600-member gym has all the machines needed, just not in vast quantities.
Therapy Works does have some student members, but it is used primarily by therapy patients and seniors. Because of this, its classes feature low-impact aerobics and

classes that primarily target abs, hips and thighs. Yoga and pilates classes are also an option.
The enrollment fee is $40 plus $25 a month, and it tries to work with members who are financially challenged, Leis says. During the first three visits, members work with personal trainers and fitness specialists to assess and test them physically.
Females looking to stay in shape without the experience of testosterone over-kill, have two options: Curves for Women, 2104 W. Second St, and Body Boutique, 925 Iowa St. As the names imply, they cater solely to those with menstrual cycles.
Curves for Women is unique to Lawrence because it offers no classes, but instead features a nowait, individual circuit training program with a personal fitness instructor.
Pam Hird, Curves for Women owner, says the 30-minute, nine-machine and 18-station program is designed according to each individual.
"We're not a spandex crowd," Hird says. "We have people of all

shapes and sizes and everybody feels welcome."
Lawrence's other ladies-only fitness center, Body Boutique, has more flexible hours than Curves and is more of your typical fitness center.
Body Boutique features basic gym equipment: treadmills, bikes, stair-steppers, ellipticals, weight machines and free weights. The building contains two mirrored rooms for aerobics, kickboxing, pilates and yoga classes.
The facility houses a pool, hot tub, sauna and tanning beds. For those with kids in tow, childcare is also available for an added fee.
The gym only offers yearlong memberships with a student discount of $25 a month plus a $49 enrollment fee with sales tax.
If looking to exercise the mind and spirit as well as the body, Lawrence has amazing options for yoga fanatics.
Yoga Center, 920 Massachusetts St., Suite 4, features the practice of Iyengar yoga, a balance between strength and flexibility.
"The method is safe and orderly," says Margaret Carr, codirector. "Students are taught a progressive series of postures in each of the different level classes."
The center offers hour-long classes that cost $10 a class for drop-ins and $7 a class for enrolled students. Ninety-minute classes cost $12 per class for drop-ins and $9 per class for those enrolled .
At Bikram's Yoga College of India, 711 W.23rd St., Suite 13 owner Elizabeth Marshall teaches 18 low-impact, high-intensity sweat-drenching Bikram yoga classes a week.
In the 105-degree concreteblocked room, decorated only by a mirrored wall, Marshall leads students through 26 Bikram postures in a 90-minute session. Each posture strengthens specific muscles, ligaments and joints needed for the next posture.
Bikram Yoga College offers onemonth, three-month and yearlongrates. A single class is $10. A new student special — two weeks unlimited for $35 — is availableand one "everyone should take advantage of," Marshall said.

RÉSUME WRITING TIPS
A good résumé could be the deciding factor for an employer to hire an applicant. With this in mind, it is important to know the basics of how to write a good résumé and what steps should be taken to produce that outstanding résumé.
After compiling a solid list, go through and identify the information that should be used on the résumé. To do this, students must think about the employer and who it is looking for to fill the position. Its important to choose the information carefully, while also focusing the information so it is clear and brief.
The first steps are to brainstorm, compile and organize the information. This means students need to put together a list of all the significant achievements, hobbies, volunteer projects, school history, extracurricular activities and any other information the employer may want to know.
www.jobweb.com
www.vault.com
jobsmart.org
The University Career and Employment Services Web site, www.ku.edu/~uecs,
provides suggestions for students on how to write a résumé.
Now students should be ready to write the résumé. The résumé should reflect the student through the format, headings, customization and the experiences of the student. Although everyone applying for the job will turn in a résumé, students should try to format their résumés to represent themselves as individuals.
ON THE WEB
Once the résumé is written, it should be proofread several times and edited more than once. It is also a good idea to have outsiders look at the résumé because they may notice something that the writer did not. These proofreaders could be family members, friends or references from the résumé. Students can also take their résumés to UCES and have its employees look it over.
When writing a résumé, it is good to keep in mind that résumés do not necessarily get students jobs; they get them the interviews needed to get the jobs. Also remember that résumés should convey unique skills as they relate to the position, but they should not indicate every personal detail, rather only those that highlight the specific qualifications applicable for the position.
THE HUNT IS ON
By Maggie Koerth

The prospect of another year working part time to make ends meet is, admittedly, not awe-inspiring. Few students look forward to serving food, selling clothes or working a campus job for minimum wage. But the proverbial "crap job" doesn't have to be without its upside. Part-time campus jobs that relate to specific majors are available and even off-campus jobs can provide skills you can use in the real world.
Keith Redmond, Kansas City, Kan., senior, is a theatre major. For the past few semesters he has been working in the costume shop at the University, helping to pick and create the outfits student actors wear on stage. Redmond says the
experience helped
him decide what he wants to do with his life. "It made me realize that I didn't really want to be a full-time actor," he says. "What I do there is basically what I'd want to do in the real world. It's the perfect on-the-job training." Many campus jobs, as well as off-campus internships, provide that kind of training, says Ann Hartley, associate
Lindsey Riechera/Kansan
Lindsey Riechers/Kansan
director for University Career and Employment Services. Her office helps students connect with career-enhancing job opportunities through their Web site, www.ku.edu/~uces. Hartley says internships probably provide the best opportunities to learn skills and get résumé-worthy credentials, but she cautioned that not all internships would bring home the bacon. "Depending on the skills you need, you might need to take an unpaid internship to get the experience," she said. "You might need to take a part-time job on top of that, but if it's what you want to do and what you really love, then you should try to make it work."
Hartley also suggested getting involved with campus organizations related to your major. That way you can get experience and skills, even if not through a job. Some student organizations, such as Student Union Activities, even have paid leadership positions.
For some students, an off-campus retail or service job can provide career-applicable skills. Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence senior, has worked at the Gap in Lawrence since she was in high school. Farokhi wants to teach elementary school after she graduates. She says working at the Gap has helped to prepare her for that."You have to learn how to adapt yourself and your personality to deal with so many different customers and managers and co-workers," she said. "That's just the kind of thing I am going to have to do with students, their parents and school administration later on."
Whether you're looking for an on-campus job, off-campus job or an internship, the Web site of University Career and Employment Services is a great place to find opportunities. Another tactic for finding a position is to just keep your eyes open and talk to people about what you're looking for. For instance, when Keith Redmond decided he wanted a second part-time job, he got one by chatting with the boss of a friend.
Job Search Tips
You've got a résumé. You've got an "interview" suit. But do you really know how to find a job? It isn't as easy as just dropping off a résumé. Hartley, associate director of University Career and Employment Services, makes a living by helping students find both full- and part-time jobs. She shares some of her job-hunting tips with Jayplay.
1) Do your homework.
"Definitely know something about the organization you are applying to," Hartley says. "Their history, who's in charge, who they are." Not doing background research is one of the biggest mistakes career-hunting students make. Hartley says. This research might also help you get the part-time job you need to make ends meet during school. Hartley says research isn't expected in parttime jobs, but with the job market tight this year, even for part-time jobs, anything you can do to make yourself stand out is important.
2) Don't be passive.
Dropping off a résumé is just the first step in a process. In a bad job market, it's important to keep in contact with the employer so he knows that you really want that job. Hartley says. It helps to make face-to-face contacts so that you become more than a disembodied application. "Don't call every single day," Hartley says. "But unless they tell you 'no phone calls,' most employers don't have a problem with follow-ups."
3) Be positive.
Attitude is everything on the job hunt. "It's like going on a blind date," Redmond says. "You try to make yourself look good and sound articulate and right for the job." Hartley calls this "selling yourself to the employer." She says the one thing interviewers everywhere look for is an applicant with a positive attitude who is willing to work and be reliable. These are all things you can show off in an interview setting.
4) Be open-minded.
"Ive had so many students go to the career fair and find jobs at companies they didn't even know existed," Hartley says. Don't pick out one amazing company as the only one you'll work for. There are more options available than you know about. Even if you have to take a job you aren't thrilled with at first, it could lead to something better. Hartley says.
5) Pay attention.
Part of impressing a potential employer is proving that you notice detail and can follow instructions, Hartley says. The best place to start is by turning in your application materials in the format that the company wants them. Don't just think you can mail in your materials and be done. "A lot more is done electronically now," Hartley says. "They may not do anything with a mailed-in copy."

Learning how to dress the part
By Maggie Koerth mkoerth@kansan.com Jayplay staff writer
Students who are climbing the job ranks from fast food to big business will find the dress code changes with them. Unfortunately, what to wear to the office tends to be a little nebulous. Ann Hartley, associate director of University Career and Employment Services at the University of Kansas, says the wardrobe employers are looking for can vary widely. "It depends on what kind of job you're talking about," she says. "It also depends on the office setting and who you work for."
For women, "dress casual" or "business casual" clothing can be anything that's nicer than jeans and more casual than a starched suit. But having so many options can be confusing, especially at your first job.
Amy Sportsman, a sales associate at J.C. Penney, 3311 Iowa St., says she has friends who could wear sandals and cargo pants to work, but, generally, dress casual ought to be a little bit nicer. Sportsman and Fallon Farokhi, Lawrence senior, agrees that it is easier to say what business
casual is not. No denim and no exposed shoulders are good rules to follow, they say. Farokhi, who has worked at the Gap since high school, also suggested looking for clothes with a clean cut and solid colors.
Fewer choices in men's clothing makes picking business casual clothes a little easier for the fellas. "Khakis are just an obvious choice between jeans and really dressy slacks," Farokhi says. Guys agree. "It's basically what you would wear to church on Sunday, but without the tie. Khakis and polo
shirts," says Keith Redmond, Kansas City, Kan., senior. David Lock, a customer service representative at J.C. Penney, says that women's clothing has more variety than

sexes has changed a lot over time. Sportsman, Farokhi and Lock all noticed that what you wear to the office now doesn't matter as much as it did in the past. "Businesses are doing more casual Friday-type things and trying to get to know you as a person outside of how you dress," Farokhi says.
But now may not be the time
But how may not be the time to throw out all your panty hose. Hartley warns that businesses are beginning to see a stricter dress code as a way of improving work quality. She advised students to always make an effort to dress more business than casual because it helps to leave a better impression. "In an internship you're basically being tried out for a job later on," she says. "It will be a little bit more formal attire in those situations." When in doubt about what to wear, students should ask their bosses or a human resources representative. But what if you're still not sure what to wear? "Go with the dressier option," Hartley says.
You don't need an executive's salary to dress professionally. These outfits fit most companies interpretations of business casual and cost about the same
as the clothes you wear to school.

first legal trip to the liquor store
Even with a valid L.D. in hand, the liquor store can be overwhelming experience the first time.Many a novice booze buyer get lost surrounded by so
P
many choices that they know nothing about. It's enough to make even the bravest among us grab the Natty Light and run. But when you revert to cheap beer habits you miss out on what makes being legal so much fun: freedom of choice. These tips will teach you a little something and help make even the largest liquor store more manageable
1) Do a little research. A simple google search for "alcohol" or "alcohol reviews" will turn up a ton of information on the quality and taste of various brands. Try alcoholreviews.com.
2) Don't overlook local. There's a lot of good beer and wine coming out of this area. Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City and our own Free State Brewery make artisan beers that shouldn't even be compared to
the stuff that shows up at high school field parties. Local wineries,such as Fields of Pair and Holyfield Farms have great product, even if you can't envision Tonganoxie as the heart of wine country.
3) Try the tiny bottles. The best way to find out if you like something is to try it and that's what all those little bottles behind the checkout counter are for. Spend a weekend doing research, then go back and buy what you like.
4) Go to the liquor store on a Wednesday afternoon. Believe it or not, if you visit your favorite store during a slow time, a clerk can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about a type of liquor and will suggest brands for you. Then, on a Friday night you can impress your friends.
first time you drop a class
Warning: Many students will fail a class.
If you realize half way through a semester that you just aren't understanding a class, go talk to the professor. This may be a big school, but professors spend the majority of their office hours without any students coming in. Then talk to your professor about your progress and what she thinks of your chances of completing the course with a passing grade.
If you find that you can't put in the necessary work to get the grade in the class, and maybe learn something too, you should consider the drop process.
The drop process in most schools allows you to exit from a class without penalty, but they will keep your money. If your GPA is important to you this may be the best way to save yourself.
Generally you will want to drop as soon as possible because the earlier you drop the more money you could be refunded. The last day to drop without some serious petitioning is Dec. 11 though you still will have to get multiple signatures, likely is from your instructor, for this drop date.
For far more complete, and sometimes thoroughly confusing information you can log on to www.registrar.ku.edu. You should consult an adviser before making major changes, though.
your first time by andrew vaupel
We're not going to lie to you. There were some experiences that seemed a little scary at the time. Lucky for all you newbies, we've been there and done that — for the most part — and we are going to give you all a little friendly advice. Take it or leave. But do remember we're older and wiser. Well, at least older.
SUNDAY
FESTIVAL
first KU sporting event
So you've never been to a Kansas football game? Lucky, you. Maybe you should just stay home and watch it on television. Wait it's not actually on television.
So come down to Memorial Stadium on Aug. 30 to watch Kansas play Northwestern. But before you get into the stadium, stop off at one of the many tailgate parties on and off-campus. But, please be careful, this could get you your first M.I.P. which may be even worse than Kansas' record last season (2-10). Once in the stadium join the students on the east side of the stadium in the singing of the alma mater.
As you watch the game, keep your eye on quarterback Bill Whittemore. Last season, he gave fans hope for a brighter future. Earning the honor of Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, he returns this season and will shine if he can stay healthy. Coach Mark Mangino's recruiting classes provide even more hope for an exciting season.
But if the defense holds up as well as it did last year, you may want to consider leaving after halftime. In the game against Kansas State last year the score was a mind-boggling 43-0 at halftime.
Even though you could leave at the beginning of halftime we suggest you stay for the halftime show performed by the Marching Jayhawks and the Crimson Girls.
If you can't make it to the first game, come to one of Kansas' other home games to watch a premier collegiate athletic conference.
Or if you really don't enjoy football, you just can't miss a KU men's basketball game. We've got a new coach, a new athletic director and a new attitude for a post-Roy era. Allen Fieldhouse hasn't been called the best setting for a college basketball game without reason. So don't forget to mark your calendars and redeem your ticket vouchers by the dates specified on the ticket. Otherwise you won't get a seat. And that's just not cool. Check www.kuathletics.com for the complete athletic calendar.
South Park is a beautiful park just to the south of downtown on Massachusetts Street. Students go to the park to play frisbee, play catch, sunbathe and have a quick picnic.
But our real suggestion is that you make the short trip to Clinton Lake. The lake is west of Lawrence and contains seven parks. Students can go camping, boating, hiking, bicycling, picnicking, hunting and swimming.

first parking ticket
When you get your first parking ticket, and you will get at least one, whine to your closest friends. But stop your whining there. Don't whine at the parking people, most of them are just trying to make a living.
Next, log on to the parking department Web site. www.ku.edu/~parking/, and learn how to file an appeal. In the fiscal year 2001 the department granted about 25 percent of the appeals that were filed.
In the same year the department issued nearly 44,000 tickets. So, when you get your first ticket at least be sure to appeal it or pay the ticket. If you don't, a hold will be placed on your enrollment, which blocks you from continuing your education.
first alcohol poisoning
first residence hall fire drill
Because we've spent so much time telling you about what to drink and how to, maybe it's time to help save some lives. Alcohol poisoning is not as cut and dried as it seems. Everyone knows that when it's serious, you call 911. But when is it serious and do you know what to do until the ambulance gets there? Visit these links to learn all about alcohol poisoning, including warning signs to look for before things get critical. They also have some surprising facts. For instance, it's easier to get drunk when you're on the pill and you should NEVER put a drunk person in a cold shower.

first fountain frolic
Chi Omega fountain is located at the circle intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and West Campus Road.
Splashing around in the Chi Omega fountain or the Chancellor's fountain is an experience that stays with most graduates forever.
Students use the fountain which was built nearly 50 years ago, to celebrate athletic victories Homecoming weekend and student birthdays.
The Chancellor's fountain located at the end of the private drive behind the Chancellor's residence, The Outlook, provides scholarship hall residents with a fountain a little closer to home.
First things first: Relax! Any date, especially when there are romantic aspirations involved, always turn out better if both people are relaxed and can enjoy the conversation.
For some excellent Italian dining try Paisano's Ristorante, 2112 West 25th St. If your date is in the mood for a big steak, and a big ticket, head over to the Hereford House,4931 West 6th St., or Don's Steak House, 2176 East 23rd St.

And don't forget, kidies finding and using protection is required to protect you and your friend.
You've met your hottie, and you wrote his or her digits down on a coaster and stuffed it deep into your pocket. (Avoid writing the digits on your hand, because when things get hot and heavy, your little reminder could rub off, blowing your cover and literally screwing your chances of another romp.)
If you did forget to get their name or you can't find it in your pockets, a quick way to find it in the residence halls is to check the door. If you're still stuck, look around quietly for mail or homework.
If you have the unfortunate task of taking your show on the road in the residence halls, you need to consider three big things. One, tiny-ass beds leave little room for play, so you may want to take your shagging to the floor. But watch out for rug burn. Two, unless you're looking for a three- some, you may want to warn roommates with the proverbial sock or any other method you can figure out on your way in. Three, if you feel the need to bolt from the residence hall in the morning once you wake up, you still will need your not-so-significant other to get your KUID on the way out the door.
first place to sober up
The Burrito King, 900 Illinois St., is the king when it comes to drunken food fare. These huge, cheap burritos are clearly the choice of drunks everywhere. And, with a price range of $3 to 7 anyone that can manage to stumble over to King by its 3 a.m. closing time will be rewarded with a much deserved snack. It is highly unlikely you'll finish one of these massive burritos by yourself though.

do it yourself SWITCH IT. CHANGE IT
By Erica Brittain and Tabatha Beerbower ebrittain@kansan.com and tbeerbower@kansan.com Jayplay staff writers
Being away from home can be scary, but moving into your residence hall room can be even scarier. The stark white walls, a cold tile floor and glowing fluorescent lights make any residence hall room seem like a prison rather than home. Add a tight budget and any student can find themselves in a living space nightmare. Fear no more because for under $100, you can transform the room into home sweet home. With these easy do-it-yourself projects, you can add color, dimension and style to tight quarters.
Project one: Wall coverings
Supplies needed:
Two 9-foot fabric sections of your choice ($11.82)
Velcro strips ($2.49)
Sharp scissors
Stepladder
We used navy blue burlap fabric that we found for $1.97/yard at Hobby Lobby. Any fabric will work for this project depending on what style works best in your room.
1. Attach Velcro strips to the top of each wall you are hanging fabric. For our project, we attached one in each corner and one in the middle. Depending on the weight of the fabric, you may
need more strips.
2. Attach Velcro strips to fabric in coordination with strips placed on wall.
3. Using the stepladder, attach the Velcro on the fabric to the Velcro on the wall.
4. Trim off excess fabric at the bottom of the wall, according to personal taste.
Total price for project: $14.31

Project two: Valance
Supplies needed:
Leftover fabric from wall coverings
3-M adhesive hooks ($2.49)
Stepladder
before
For this project we used the left over fabric from the wall coverings to give the room a more integrated feel. You can also use different fabric, but we used the left overs to stay under budget.
4. Attach fabric to hooks.
Total price for project: $2.49
1. Attach adhesive hooks across the top of the window. We placed the hooks so that they would line up with the wall coverings, using two in each corner and two in the middle.
2. Fold fabric so that the bottom layer hangs four inches below the top layer.
3. Cut small holes in the fabric, lining up with the hooks.
Project three: Bulletin board
Supplies needed:
Measuring tape
Fabric ($5.67)
Stapler or clear thumbtacks
Sewing pins ($.99)
When covering the cork bulletin board, we used a different color than the wall covering. We used a red, soft cotton fabric we bought at $1.89/yard at Hobby Lobby. This project might be easier with two people when attaching the material to the bulletin board.
1. Use measuring tape to measure the length and width of your bulletin board. You can also cover small bulletin boards to hang separately on separate walls to create a theme.
2. Laying fabric out on a large flat surface, measure off the dimensions of the bulletin board on to the fabric, marking off an extra inch on each side for the length and width.
3. Cut the fabric with a straight edge and sharp scissors.
4. Pin the fabric back an inch on each of the four sides. This gives the bulletin board clean, smooth edges, preventing fraying.
5. Start attaching the material in the top left corner of the board, with one person holding the rest of the fabric tight. Make your way across the board stapling or pinning thumb tacks every two to three inches. Do the same down the sides and across the bottom.
6. The rest is up to you. Your new bulletin board can be decorated with photos, fabric paint or pens, or just be used for reminders.
Total price for project: $6.66
Project four: Patchwork carpet
Supplies needed:
Tape measure
Staple gun
Carpet samples or scraps ($20.00)
Non-skid rubber material ($4.99)
This project presents a warm, fun alternative to the cold tile floor or just plain area rugs. We found carpet samples at Bud Jennings, 2851 Iowa Street, for$1 a piece. We used twenty samples, costing just less than or around the same as a plain store bought carpet found at Wal-Mart, Target, or Kohls. A heavy-duty staple gun can be purchased at Home Depot for $19.98, but you can also borrow one from a friend.
1. Lay out assorted carpet samples in the pattern of your choice in the area of your room that you wish to cover. We created a basic square pattern, four samples across and five samples down, but you can create assorted shapes and sizes.
2. Measure the dimensions of your carpet once you are satisfied with your shape and size.
3. Roll out the non-skid rubber material on a flat hard surface. Measure and cut to the dimensions of the carpet.
4. Place carpet samples upside down, keeping the shape and size desired.
5. Place non-skid material, with the non-skid surface facing up, on the backside of the samples.
6. Staple the non-skid material every few inches around the edge of the samples.
Total price for project: $24.99
Other items that one may add in order to make the room more lively are throw pillows, picture frames, storage containers and framed calendar art. Throw pillows can be purchased at Target, Kohls and Wal-mart for as little as $6.99 a piece. We added three to the bottom bunk bed for comfort and decoration purposes. Picture frames can range in price, but the four-picture frame we used can be purchased at Kohl's for $14.99. An easy way to display art is to use old calendars. You can cut them out and put them in 8x10 frames from Pier 1 that cost $4.00. And for added storage in the cramped dorm rooms, a 4-drawer storage container from Target costs $9.99.
Total price for all purchases: $41.79
A special thanks goes out to the Department of Student Housing for allowing Jayplay's Do-It-Yourself department to redecorate a room in GSP-Corbin.

From new bars to a new bathroom or interior work at existing bars, Lawrence has a new look that deserves a first look. Some local bars around town were updated and refreshed over the summer while others are completely new and will add a new experience for residents.
Here are some first stops you should make now that you're back at the University of Kansas.
When first entering north Lawrence, you may have noticed a new bar at 821 S. Iowa St. called The Moon Bar. After opening a month ago, this bar features pool tables and private karaoke rooms for you and your friends.
"The rooms are soundproof and it doesn't interfere with the rest of the bar," says Tony Wang, The Moon Bar's manager.
The karaoke rooms are available in two sizes and can be rented by the hour. The larger rooms are $40 per hour and the smaller rooms are $30 per hour. The karaoke equipment, available in multiple languages, is included in the rooms. Students who rent the rooms get personal service for drinks ,which are free, up to the dollar amount of the room. This way, essentially, the room is free.
The Moon Bar also serves a variety of non-alcoholic beverages. Computers with Internet service are also being added for students to come and study during the day.
Further down the road at 925 Iowa St., is a new bar called The Bella Lounge. As an upscale,
non-smoking bar, owner Rob Farna said students are assured a new experience unlike the traditional KU bar scene.
"Everything in Lawrence is either a college bar or a sports bar, in my opinion. And this is nothing like that. It's more of a conversational bar," he says.
"There is no wood. Everything is clean, dark and sophisticated."
The bar is complete with carpet floors, slate tile around the bar and in the bathrooms and a granite bar top. No food is served. Gentlemen who attend
have a dress code, which is up to the manager's discretion, but consists mainly of no advertising T-shirts and no backwards hats. Ladies have no dress code.
The Bella Lounge is a place for people of every age to attend, for any function, from a social outing to a date. Farna says they see people from college students to senior citizens come in.
"We attract college kids who want to get away from a typical packed bar," says Farna.
The non-smoking atmosphere is something that helps the bar stay away from the norm. This is one of the only bars in Lawrence to offer this, which some may call a luxury. This is an option for students who want a more formal place to hang out.
"It will be nice to have at least one bar in Lawrence that is smoke free so you wouldn't have to go home smelling like smoke." Jessy Magnuson, Olathe, sophomore says.
Friday nights feature a live DJ and Saturdays have live jazz.

Jared Soares/Kansan
Although it is rather small, holding approximately 125 people, Farna said itis a place to go where you can still hear yourself converse, even with the music.
If you're ever in search for a new place to go to check out sports on TV, Tanner's Bar and Grille, 15th and Wakarusa, which is opening soon. This bar features 32 TVs, including two in the restrooms, and a separate game room with darts, pool tables and video golf.
The Yacht Club will be reopening Sept. 15 with new ownership and a new look. Also a sports bar and grille, part-owner Tom Devlin says the new Yacht club was completely gutted on the inside to convert it into a sports bar and grille.
"The patio was covered, there are new restrooms and the bar is a lot bigger. There is a new floor and new plumbing," Devlin says. "You won't even recognize it."
Devlin said that the bar and grille will be different from most because of the location and the atmosphere it creates..
The Yacht Club now also serves lunch and dinner.
As changes go, first on the list is the former Raoul's Velvet Lounge. The new name for this well-known martini bar is Eight-One-Five. Along with the name change came new seating and more color, adding warmth and texture to the room.
Jeff Singer, Eight-One-Five owner, says that the bar will be different from other typical bars or clubs in Lawrence and that the renovations are a way to
help that.
"A lot of bars have the connotations of being a college hangout and we cater to the college and the over 25 crowd," Singer says.
Eight-One-Five has the largest selection of alcohol, from well alcohol, or off-brand, up to
top-of-the-line, premium alcohol.
Singer guarantees that what they pour is what's in the bottle.
"We do not dilute, we do not substitute. Everything you order is what you order," he says.
Thursdays and Saturdays are no cover with live entertainment at Eight-One-Five. Next month, try a Red Bull vodka any night for just $1.50 or $2 almost anything on Thursdays.
"Of all the bars in town, when my dad comes back in town, he still remembers going to the Crossing when he was in school here" says David English, Augusta senior. "It will always be the place to go after class on Thursday and Friday afternoons."
Mee said that they heard complaints about the restrooms, so that is what they fixed. They are now suitable for anyone.
The Crossing has also renewed and updated with new ownership by Charles Mee, owner of Henry's on 8th St.
"The bathrooms there used to suck," says Lindsay Campbell, Scott City senior. "They were dirty and gross. I refused to use them." The Crossing will still feature the same specials all year but will try to do more events during football season, such as broadcasting a pre-game show with a Lawrence radio station.
Because the Crossing is such a tradition, there's not much you can or need to do to improve. Mee said. You can only make it the best you can.

Lubvine, Sagueri stars as June, the daughter of a publisher, in Swimmin' Pool at Liberty Hall.
SWIMMING POOL
R. 102 minutes, Liberty Hall
When Christopher McQuarrel wrote The Usual Suspects in 1995, a new way to make a mystery movie materialized. Suddenly the points of view of a film's characters were not necessarily to be trusted. People have things to hide, and they'll keep them from you as long as they can. Or maybe they don't know they have things to hide, or they can remember them, as David Fincher theorized in 1999's Fight Club.
Swimming Pool offers a new perspective on this game of shifting identities and doubling realities. It's clever enough not to completely reveal the plot, but keep the game in mind during the film's measured opening scenes — a greater purpose is at play.
Mystery author Sarah Morton (Charlotte Rampling) arrive at her publisher's secluded French villa to write a book and lounge around the swimming pool. Here, she can indulge in
small pleasures others don't have time for. The ideas for the book never come; but privacy is enough for now.
A handsome waiter named Franck (jean-Marie Lamour) becomes an object of desire for both women. Julie returns home one night with a black eye apparently from an altercation with one of her men. Sarah learns of the mysterious death of the publisher's wife. And so on. The firm's revelations are in keeping with the director whose work *Swimming Poot* most closely resembles Brian De Palma. Like De Palma's masterful suspense shockers such as *Dressed to Kill* and *Biwout*, this playful French thriller introduces twists too meiodramatic to believe, but treats them too
Then the publisher's daughter, Julie (Ludivine Sagner), shows up like a wildcat at a tea party. Sarah wants her to leave, but Julie is too willing to give in. She stays and proceeds to bring home new lovers each night to have rude sex with, as Sarah listens from the upstairs bedroom but there's more, or maybe not.
ports to explain the film's engi-
matic double images
seriously to dismiss
Also like De Palma, the film's rampant sexuality adds a steamy layer of evotion to the lead performances. Sagmar acts made through roughly half her scenes but her emotions are equally exposed. She's like a wounded kitten as little hegs to be forgiven for crimes she barely understands. Sarah's physical exposure comes much later, after kampling has expertly peeled back every strip of the woman's urininess to reveal an alter ego real? imagined?) more out of control thanJulie's
After a single viewing, *Nunnimg Pool* ultimately leaves too many unanswered questions, but it's important to note a few cities given by the director, Francois Ozon, and his co-screenwriter, Emmanuel Berheim. Notice the window out of which Sarah first sees Julie. This window frame may represent a kind of screen onto which Sarah can project manipulated images. A sequence by the pool reveals that Sarah has access to Julie's dreams. And the ending is the most important shot, which pur-
Swimming Pool is an ingeniously designed piece of work a thriller from a young director that gets you excited in a way that recalls Christopher Nolan's Memento. The dialogue is in English, accompanied by a brilliant Hitchecockian suspense score from composer Philippe Romhl. Take a dip and wash away the mentory of a mediocre movie summer.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL PG-13-143 minutes South Wind 12
A summer movie has three primary goals. One, give the audience an escape from the ambearably hot weather. Two allow them to travel to some far off place for the price of a movie ticket. Three make them laugh, swoon, stare in amazement and have fun all in one sitting
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl surprisingly succeeds on all accounts, delivering a fun summer movie worthy of recognition.
Johnny Depp is undoubtedly the star As Captain Jack Sparrow Depp swaggers and swindles his way into a character that no one thought he had in him. This movie proves that Depp's name makes money and that he has the talent to back it up. Orlando Bloom, Ketra Knightly and Geoffrey Rush round out the fantastic cast in this tale complete with lost medallions, cursed pirates and young love.
Directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by blockbuster king kerry Bridgeland. Pirates of the Caribbean does have its share of cheesy moments. However, it is best to tolerate these moments to enjoy the thrilling and often bizarre ride that brings a welcome relief from the regular summer movie full.

FREDDY VS. JASON
R. 98 minutes South Wind 12
During the late 80s' many a teen-aged boy wondered who would win in the fight between Freddy Krueger and Jason Woothes?
All those boys finally get their answer with the new horror film Freddy vs. Jason, which is the 11th Jason movie and 8th. Freddy movie and possibly the most entertaining of all 19 films.
In this encounter, the children of Elm Street have forgotten about Freddy Krueger because their parents have wiped his existence out off all memories, databases and files in the town. For some reason this renders Freddy powerless. Freddy begins haunting lison Voorhies, taking the form of his mother, convincing the hockey-masked killer to go to Elm Street to kill people so they will remember the mayhem Freddy once maintained. Once they remember this mayhem Freddy will get his power back.
While the plot is ridiculous, and the acting sub par, the movie still works for one reason. It's not really a horror film. it's an extremely dark comedy that almost mocks the previous 18 films. Various "teen" actors through out the film drop several clever lines.
The action scenes are quite entertaining. Each pore has delivers both high-flying special effects and high body counts that leave the audience delightfully nauseated.

reminder of why Jerry Bruckheimer continues to have a job. He hit it big with the first Bad Boys film, but this movie came across as an attempt to cash in on all the success that goes along with a sequel. Sequels are often inferior to their predecessors. That makes this movie, considering its source material, a shallow rehash of what audiences have seen 10 times before. Smith and Lawrence, as officers Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, have enough chemistry to get viewers through a movie filled with one-liners, unnecessary gore, flashy cars, explosions galore and some, but very few, laugh-out-loud moments. If all this sounds great to you, then hurry and up and buy a ticket because the movie is enjoyable enough to watch in all its drug trafficking glory. For those of us who long for something new, we will have to wait until Bruckheimer and his protégé, director Michael Bay, get a clue.

ANGER MANAGEMENT PG-13. 100 minutes. South Wind 12
Whenever you see a preview at the movies that really excites you and makes you laugh, it's always a gamble whether the film will deliver laughs other than the ones in the preview. Anger Management is another movie that could not live up to its preview.
After a tumultuous experience on an airplane with a flight attendant, Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) is ordered to take anger-management classes to control his non-existent temper. He is assigned to renowned therapist Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson), whose unconventional methods lead to the destruction of Dave's entire life.
The film does have its redeeming aspects. The idea of casting Sandler and Nicholson was inspired. The premise of the movie had promise as well, but although a good idea in theory, it lacked an effective execution. Sandler is once again playing
someone who appears to be a mild mannered regular Joe only this time instead of occasionally breaking into Big Daddy mode to get his kid Halloween candy, his exact problem is that he doesn't assert himself enough. Meahwhile, Nicholson grins and raises his eyebrows as if to wink at the audience, perhaps realizing that this movie would not live up to expectations.
Anger Management made a little money at the box office, but chances are it left audiences wondering what they paid for.

GRIND
PG-13, 105 minutes. South Wind 12
A Surgeon General's warning should preface the new skateboarding movie Grind,warning viewers that watching this movie may cause damage to brain cells and unborn children. Unfortunately, there isn't one and viewers are subjected to some of the most inane antics, mindless dialogue, and atrocious acting they will ever see.
The story chronicles four wannabe skaters who have just graduated high school. Eric (Mike Vogel, in his big screen debut) wants to be a pro-skater, but no one will watch his demo tapes. Eric takes matters into his own hands, by creating his own skate board company and following the Jimmy Wilson Skating tour in hopes of pulling off some stunt in front of his favorite skater, Jimmy Wilson (Jason London, Dazed and Confused)). Eric assumes once Jimmy sees him skate he will ask Eric to join his tour. Eric decides to drag three skating friends along on his cross-country trek that is made up of ludicrous situations that usually end in some sort of bodily function.
Along the way the characters call each other "Bro","Dude and punch each other in the shoulder while the audience suffers. While the movie does have some prolific skating, all the tricks in the world don't make up for the lack of thought that went into this film.

AMERICAN WEDDING
R, 102 minutes. South Wind 12
The ability to gross you out to the point of wanting to vomit, make you laugh like a kid, and deliver scenes filled with the
sweet innocence of youth all in one movie made the American Pie movies work. American Wedding, the third film in the series, lives up to its predecessors and, at times, surprisingly exceeds them.
Jim (Jason Biggs) and former band geek, Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), are getting married. Most of the old gang return for a third helping of the franchise. The movie revolves around everyone's favorite cretin Steve Stifler (Sean William Scott), who tries to sneak his way into the wedding though Michelle had hoped it would be Stiflerfree. Stifler quickly sets his eyes upon Michelle's beautiful sister (January Jones), and his willingness to impress her makes some positive changes in him but also gets him eating dog feces.
The series shows some signs of wear, but when the film focuses on the adorable Biggs and Hannigan, it becomes a sweet and charming relief from the gross-out aspect that comes with these movies. Since American Pie directors Chris and Paul Weitz moved to bigger and better things (About a Boy), Jesse Dylan, director of How High, directs American Wedding. American Wedding is good enough to fit nicely into the American Pie family, but one can only hope that this will be the last serving.

WHALE RIDER
PG-13, 105 minutes, South Wind 12
A 12-year-old named Pai (Keisha Castle-Hughes) rebels against her patriarchal Maori village in Niki Caro's Whale Rider, a fabulous post-modern confection filmed on location in New Zealand.
The film's quiet power sneaks up on you as Pai grows from the twin of a lost heir to a self-reliant little girl who perseveres despite the wishes of her strict grandfather, Koro (Rawiri Paratene). As Koro searches for a new heir among the boys in the town and Pai stubbornly refuses to be
counted out, the timeliness of Caro's plot hits you like a swift uppercut to the nose. If only girls everywhere could be as rebellious as Pai, and the powers that be as receptive as Koro.
Leon Narbey's sensuous photography and Lisa Gerrard's ethereal music peak in the film's unforgettable conclusion, suggesting that miracles are both manmade and closer to the realm of the senses than you think. Castle-Hughes — spunky, androgynous and achingly sincere gives the summer's best performance.

UPTOWN GIRLS PG-13. 93 minutes, South Wind 12
Director Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans) blends drama and comedy together in Uptown Girls, the story of two spoiled rich girls, one who's 22 and one who's 8. Sadly, this blend pulls the movie apart; straining the cast, confusing audiences and creating a predictable ending that no one really cares about.
Brittany Murphy (Just Married) plays Molly Gunn, a New York socialite who lives off of her inheritance from her deceased rock-star father. When her funds run out, she must find a real job that will impress her on-again-off-again boyfriend. She decides to become the nanny of Ray Schleine (Dakota Fanning, I am Sam), the daughter of a record executive.
Molly and Ray are polar opposites, Molly doesn't know how to act like an adult and Ray doesn't know how to act like a kid. Neither one likes each other, but as the movie progresses, they predictably realize they have a lot in common and a lot to learn from each other. Fanning is the only bright spot in this movie as the spoiled Ray. It is unfortunate that her fellow actors couldn't deliver the same believability.

CD SPOTLIGHT
Eve 6
After coming off the radio hits "Inside Out" and "Here's to the Night" with an album declared as "a new beginning," you would think Eve 6 was following the formula to fade into mediocrity. However, on its third album, It's All In Your Head, the band has delivered a promising new beginning.
Eve 6 made it huge right after high school, touring non-stop. After a much-needed hiatus, the band returned with a deeper feel, bolstered by front man Max Collins' haunting voice and the band's melodic hooks. Guitarist Jon Siebels concurs."We realized that there was growth that had to occur before we could make another album and show people what we were made of," he says.
On their new album, the band experiments with tracks such as "Hey Montana," an edgy, country-style song of world-weariness. Contrasting are rock ballads, such as the Dylanesque "Girlfriend," which rely on the popular theme of breaking up. This is not to say Eve 6 has abandoned its riff-heavy, punk- and hard-rock roots or their powerful and intelligent lyrics. "Part of finding ourselves as a band is looking at what makes us special and what made people interested in us in the first place-which is why this record, sonically, is more guitar, bass and drums. We've taken steps forward." Siebels says.
"Not Gonna Be Alone Tonight and "Bring the Night On" are filled with melancholy, while "Still Here Waiting" and "Without You Here" balance it out with punkpop worthy fare. "Think Twice," the first single released from the album, boasts a catchy chorus and funky vibe. With its vast range of influences, It's All In Your Head is a good record for whatever ails you.

STUDENT SUBMITS TO MARS' INFLUENCE
The increased visibility of the planet Mars, which scientists say is the greatest in 3,600 years and/or our lifetimes, has prompted curious behavior in at least one University of Kansas student. Friends of Johanna Harrelson, Platt junior, say she hasn't been the same since they first pointed out the red planet to her one night on the steps of Hashinger Residence Hall.
"It's kind of bizarre," said Krista Jones, Omaha Freshman. "She just stays in her room all day staring at the black-lit 'Space Jam' posters she bought at the Union while blasting Echo and the Bunneymen's Killing Moon on our brand-new mini-shelf system. I kind of worry about what will happen when classes start."
In addition to dyeing her hair red, Harrelson claims to have watched the 1997 film Mars Attacks at least six times in the past two days.
A valiant move by a Daisy Hill technician may have saved hundreds of student computers from the Blaster Worm.
"That part at the end, when the guy talks about how we should all live in teeepees, that's so right-on," Harrelson said.
RESNET TRIUMPHS OVER
BLASTER WORM
Convocation turns into giant love-in
"At first I was petrified," said Vincent Casey, ResNet technician. "I had never dealt with a virus before. I didn't even know I had speakers on my computer until last week, but that's a different story."
Despite his initial fear, Casey did what any ResNet technician would: get ready to take the mother down. The worm exploits a weakness in Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems and has affected hundreds of thousands of systems in the last week.
"I still had NetNanny installed on my computer from when I lived with my parents, so I thought I'd be safe. Wrong!" exclaimed Casey. "It finally dawned on me that all I needed to do was download the patch to disk from a different computer, transfer it to the infected system, and then ZAP! Another victory for the ResNet squad. I don't think those worms knew who they were dealing with."
To contact the Tongue in Beak please write to us at beak@kansan.com Have a good year & play it safe.
ResNet had piles of discs with the patch available to students on move-in day.

Sprawled out on blankets of many colors, a motley group of students gather outside the Lied Center to celebrate the ancient pagan festival known as "Back to School Eve."

Kansan scriat writer
A solid turnout and a wave of enthusiasm for the start of classes resulted in a massive celebration last night outside the Lied Center. Despite the crowd's large numbers and festive attire, a peaceful atmosphere prevailed, and only a handful of arrests were made.
Though Convocation had been billed as the official beginning of the academic year, organizers called the pre-party "the best celebration of the worst generation." Revelers gathered in the parking lot as early as 4 p.m. to sell vegetarian burritos, compare class schedules and roll special marijuana cigarettes known as "joints." By the time scheduled speakers Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Student Body President Andy Knopp arrived in their tour bus, the Lied center parking lot was a virtual sea of celebration.
Ryan Clinger, Dallas freshman, blew bubbles and noodle danced his way through packs of brightly-clad sorority hopefuls.
"I haven't been this faded since I went on Bob Dole Tour," Clinger said. "I hope the Chancellor jams out."
After the ceremony, fans gathered at tables to sign up for bootleg recordings of the so-called "Pomp and Circumstance." Special tents were set up in which revelers waved glowsticks and danced to club remixes of KU fight songs.
"It was so exciting," said Kelly Nielson, Wichita sophomore. "Knopp/Hemenway was the best double-billing at the Lied Center since Beck toured with the 'Lips."
Although a student received medical attention for a popcorn overdose at an earlier Hawk Week event, no injuries were reported at Convocation. Campus police confiscated 22 grams of marijuana, one tank of nitrous oxide and 17 Trapper-Keepers.
'Hail to Olde KU': A lesson in University pre-history
by Flat Plorp Professor of History
the days of the great Jayhawke, there was a place called Olde KU. A place where homo sapiens, homo sapiens sapiens, and homo homo sapiens sapiens could get together and earn a little college credit. Of course, in those days it wasn't called "Olde" KU. It wasn't called anything. It just was.
If you visit a sporting event at the University of Kansas, you are sure to hear the last two words of our alma mater. But chances are you do not know the full depth of their meaning. In truth, none of us really will. But in the small space before me, let me do my best to unravel the tale of the real university; the University of Kansas only vaguely hinted at in the nature of the stones and earth of this campus: Olde KU.
Once upon a time, in
These were dark times. In fact, the primitive sun only shone upon Olde KU a mere four hours of the day. Most of the light came from funeral pyres and burnt offerings to the Gods. Death was common then. The giant eggs of the Jayhawke were known to crush the skulls of many an unsuspecting student.
When the eggs of the Jayhawke weren't killing students, they were used at the Jaybowl. However, the oblong shape of the egg made bowling difficult. But despite this shortcoming and the lack of electronic scoring, it was always the Jaybowl, and the ghosts of bowlers past will eat the souls of any people who try and change that.
The rest of the Union was a giant mead hall, except for Woodruff Auditorium, which showed blockbusters sponsored by Student Union Activities. SUA also sponsored "Day on the Hill," a now-defunct drum circle and Woolly Mammoth Parade that created the valley we now refer to as "Campanile Park." The Campanile itself would not be built until later, when it was erected to honor the veterans of the War of the Roses.
There was an active student government at Olde KU. Each year, the alpha male would be decided by a competition culminating in a to-the-death battle with stone implements, because it was before the bronze age. Campus was a network of sidewalks that from
overhead can be seen as unrecognizable animal forms. The steam whistle was built in these times, operated by a sacrificing an animal every hour to produce a screeching noise similar to today's whistle. Strong Hall's foundation is fashioned out of used stone tablets from old classes such as Animal Fur Design, Firestarting and Firestarting 142. (the five-hour honors section). The admissions office's motto was "You're not in Pangaea anymore."
The residence halls were there since the beginning of time. They were utilized as giant storage bins for food, others as mass graves. They are the product of superior alien technology, which is why they still stand today.
A strong emphasis was placed on recreational acts of destruction. Some students would spend time uprooting trees. Others would dig holes for no apparent reason. Little is known about the recreational activities of these early students. But it is thought that they ran through the Mt. Oread neighborhood, responsibly drinking large amounts of Coca-Cola products. However, this is only speculation. History, after all, will never reveal all of its secrets. The bastard.

Tuition increase hinders students

Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, tuition seems to be in the eye of the bill holders at the University of Kansas.
While some students' costs are covered mostly or completely by parents or scholarships, others have to find alternate ways of making ends meet - an even more arduous task after the recent tuition increase.
"When I got my bill it surprised me," Jared Wollen, Kingman sophomore, said. "But I'm not going to move anywhere else as long as the bill's not too huge."

The price tag on tuition went up 17.7 percent from last year — roughly a $600 increase — for Kansas residents, a trend that will continue over the next three years.
"I think most people are paying the increase and not thinking a lot about it," Wollen said.
Travis Nelson has a different take and a much different story.
"It makes me desperately unhappy," Nelson, Bonner Springs sophomore, said. "I don't have a whole lot of money, so that's a lot of money to me. I don't know about other people, but it is to me."
Nelson should be a junior. But he took a last year off because he couldn't pay for tuition after last year's increase. So, he went to Hong Kong to work for a non-profit organization while doing some private tutoring on the side to pay for his trip and for a large portion of this semester's tuition.

"That was all for KU." Nelson said. Now the retirement plans of Nelson's father have been put on hold. He's helping his son pay for school. Nelson said he would still have to eventually pay it all back.

Professors rake in cash
William T. Kemper Awards for teaching excellence surprise seven professors, with 13 more to come
By Robert Perkins
rperkins@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
John Kelly didn't expect to receive a check for $5,000 yesterday morning.
The assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Kansas looked caught off guard and pleased as Chancellor Robert Hemenway led in a "surprise patrol" of University, Kansas University Endowment Association and Commerce Bank officials armed with an oversized cardboard check during his class.
The Kemper Fellowships recognize the University's outstanding teachers and advisers with a monetary award.
"When people get the award at the Oscars, they say they weren't prepared," Kelly said. "But they're lying. I'm not."
Professor Kelly was the fifth of seven educators to win the W.T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence today.
"We try to put our money where our mouth is," Cancellor Hemenway said.
The award comes from a $500,000
fund established by the William T. Kemper Foundation, with matching funds from the Endowment Association.
This is the eighth year of the 10-year program that will have delivered $1 million by its completion - $100,000 each year to 20 teachers.
"The idea is to demonstrate that at KU, teaching is a million dollar enterprise," Hemenway said.
The other six winners of the award yesterday were W. Perry Alexander, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, Jonathan Earle, assistant professor of history, Charles Eldredge, professor of art history, Richard Hale, assistant professor of aerospace engineering, John Head, professor of law and Steven Fawcett, professor and senior scientist of human development and family life.

Tuition increase hinders students
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, tuition seems to be in the eye of the bill holders at the University of Kansas.
While some students' costs are covered mostly or completely by parents or scholarships, others have to find alternate ways of making ends meet - an even more arduous task after the recent tuition increase.
tion increase.
"When I got my bill it surprised me," Jared Wollen, Kingman sophomore, said.
"But I'm not going to move anywhere else as long as the bill's not too huge."
SEE AWARDS ON PAGE 7A
Wollen said he paid for 90 percent of his tuition through a summer job at an insurance agency in his hometown, with his parents making up the difference.
the price tag on tuition went up 17.7 percent from last year — roughly a $600 increase — for Kansas residents, a trend that will continue over the next three years.
"I think most people are paying the increase and not thinking a lot about it," Wollen said.
SEE TUITION ON PAGE 7A
Travis Nelson has a different take and a much different story.
She said she knew the University was the place for her undergraduate studies and thanks to help from her father and loans, she was able to overcome the out-of-the-state sticker price.
"It makes me desperately unhappy," Nelson, Bonner Springs sophomore, said. "I don't have a whole lot of money, so that's a lot of money to me. I don't know about other people, but it is to me."
Nelson should be a junior. But he took a last year off because he couldn't pay for tuition after last year's increase. So, he went to Hong Kong to work for a non-profit organization while doing some private tutoring on the side to pay for his trip and for a large portion of this semester's tuition.
Now the retirement plans of Nelson's father have been put on hold. He's helping his son pay for school. Nelson said he would still have to eventually pay it all back.
The tuition increase is also hitting nonresidents, who will pay an 8.3 percent increase at roughly $1,300 over the next three years.
"I'm not in a desperate situation by any means," Nelson said. "But it's painful enough."
But three days before he was to head back home, his passport and about $1500 was stolen.
next year Jill Unger, Chicago graduate student, is the oldest of four kids. Her sister, Katie, is a freshman.
"That was all for KU," Nelson said.

Oxygen bars present a trendy new aroma to the nightlife of Lawrence

Rum and Coke, a Budweiser and a shot of oxygen.
Get used to hearing this bar order.
Oxygen bars, the latest craze from overseas that have found a place in American pop culture over the past few years in cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago, have now found a home in Lawrence.
"It's really new in the Midwest," said Juana Simons, owner of the oxygen bar AirO2mas. "But people really seem to be
getting used to the idea."
Simons' oxygen bar is portable, which allows her to cater to private parties as well as bars and clubs. Simons has operated her oxygen bar for about a year.
Staci Chew, employee at the Lawrence bar Eight-One-Five, 815 New Hampshire St., which offers the service on Friday and Saturday nights, said she tried it a number of times. The bar has offered oxygen for a couple months.
Based on this, frequenters of oxygen bars claim the service boosts energy levels and improves endurance and concentration. They even said it takes the edge off headaches and hangovers.

Campus Wal-Mart battle continues; board to decide in October
The Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals will decide in October on an appeal filed by Wal-Mart and 6Wak Land Investments LLC.
The City of Lawrence denied building permits for a Wal-Mart store and an unidentified restaurant in Northwest Lawrence.
Early in August, a Douglas County District Judge ruled the city did not give an adequate reason for withholding the permits back in May. He accused the city of not following its own rules.
According to city officials, Wal-Mart is a department store and zoning laws ban it from the site.
It has been a little more than a year since plans for a new Wal-Mart in Lawrence first surfaced. Wal-Mart proposed a supercenter store in mid-August of 2002 that would have occupied 200,000 square feet at the northwest corner of 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive.
The proposed supercenter calls for a 52-acre development and includes a fullservice grocery store, bank, vision center, auto service center and photo studio. The city rejected that plan last October.
In December of 2002, Wal-Mart returned with revised plans, reducing the size of the proposed store by more than 40,000 square feet and removing the auto service center.
Many Lawrence residents openly opposed the retail chain, petitioning City Hall. They raised concerns about increased traffic and competition with downtown businesses.They also said placement near Free State High School would cause traffic conflicts.
The two said the area mostly contained restaurants and that people would benefit from a retail store.

University makes list for GTA classes
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Teaching assistants, the college newspaper and school spirit distinguish the University of Kansas, according to the Princeton Review.
In the company's latest edition of Best 351 College Rankings, the University placed three times, finishing with a No. 3 ranking for "teaching assistants teach too many upper-level courses," No. 6 for "great college newspaper" and No. 19 for "students pack the stadiums."
Ethan Schmidt, assistant instructor in history, said he was torn on whether the teaching assistant ranking was good or bad.
While having too many TAs often brings negative connotations, Schmidt said that teaching assistants can relate to students better than older faculty and can empathize about "the changing nature of college."
Schmidt said it usually takes four to eight years for a TA to reach upper-level teaching status. He said he or she is almost always working on a doctorate degree during that time.
"I think a university as good as KU only gives those positions to really excellent students," Schmidt said. "They don't put you in that position unless they know you can do it."
Steve Sodergren, history graduate teaching assistant, shared the same opinion.
Sodergren, who is scheduled to get his doctorate's degree in a year-and-a-half after being at the University for five years, said he thought he was qualified to teach his classes.
teach his classes.
"No student has ever come up to me and said 'I don't think you're qualified,' " Sodergren said. " 'We want a 50-year-old tenured professor.' That has never come up."
Emily Wicktor, English graduate teaching assistant, taught as an instructor at St. Cloud State University, in Minnesota, for three years between working on her master's and doctorate degrees.
"This is where all professors come from, whether that's an introductory course or a 300-
level course. I don't see a difference in the quality," Wicktor said. "I think it's a necessity. This is where professional teachers gain experience."
But not everyone in the teaching profession is pleased in the influx of TAs.
Ben Eggleston, assistant professor in philosophy who supervises seven teaching assistants, said he wished that there were fewer of them and more full-time faculty, but he credited their large numbers to the University's budget problems.
"To me, it's a question of priorities of the people who pay the bills: the students and the people of the Kansas," Eggleston said. "It's just a matter of whether it's worth it to them to pay more in tuition and taxes for less teaching assistant instruction."
Kansas State also made the too many teaching assistants list, placing No. 18.

Last year, the University had a No.15 ranking for the college newspaper category, and No.14 for "students who pray on a regular basis." The University also received a No.18 ranking for "students who (almost) never study."
The Princeton Review, a New York City-based specialist in standardized test preparation and other educational services, has been putting out the rankings since 1992. The latest rankings were mostly based on results from a survey conducted of 106,245 students from 351 of the top colleges, as determined by previous rankings.

West Nile claims first Kansas victim
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - A 93-year-old Butler County resident has become the first person in Kansas to die from the West Nile virus, state health officials said yesterday.
The victim showed signs of encephalitis, or swelling of the brain, on Aug. 10 after being bitten by a mosquito in late July or early August, the Department of Health and Environment said. The person died in a hospital earlier this week, but KDHE declined to release further details, citing patient confidentiality laws.
The Butler County case brought the number of human West Nile cases to nine so far this year in Kansas, with three other cases announced Wednesday. Last year, the state reported 22 cases in humans but no deaths.
KDHE officials had predicted outbreaks of West Nile would be worse this year because it was detected in most counties across the state last year. The first human
case last year was not confirmed until September.
Drought also could be contributing to outbreaks this year by creating a better environment for breeding mosquitoes, state health officials said.
"We are saddened but not surprised by this event," Dr. Gianfranco Pezzino, the state epidemiologist, said during a news conference."The virus is here in Kansas, and it's going to stay. It's not going to go away."
West Nile cases announced Wednesday involved a 41-year-old Cloud County resident, a 79-year-old in Pratt County and a 53-year-old from Decatur County. The Pratt and Decatur county victims remained hospitalized, while the Cloud County resident was recovering at home, KDHE officials said.
Elections to allow freshmen representation in Senate
Previous confirmed cases include a 62-year-old in Seward County, a 54-year-old in Gray County, a 2-year-old in Ford County, a 65 year-old in Sherman County and a 38-year-old in Gray County.

For the first time in University of Kansas history, freshmen have the chance to run for Student Senate.
A spring referendum will allow for October's election to place five freshmen in the Senate.
The elected senators will not have school affiliation, but will have the same rights as any other senator. For example, they will be able to vote on proposed bills.
the election, freshmen must collect 50 signatures and KUID numbers from other freshmen. Their name will then be placed onto the online ballot for student voting.
Kyle Johnson, student executive committee chairman, said logistical problems might eliminate some campus polling locations.
Johnson said that the burden on academic computing services to provide laptops and set them up was too great.
However, Andy Knopp, student body president, said that allowing at-home online voting was potentially problematic.
"I think it lends itself to candidates going door-to-door to get votes." Knopn said.

Institute worthy of student's attention
The biggest happening at the University of Kansas during the past summer was the dedication of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, west of the Lied Center. Attracting people such as Rudy Giuliani, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Tom Brokaw, not much could top it.Although it honors an older generation, our generation can benefit from a visit.
Bob Dole is part of what Brokaw calls the "Greatest Generation," the name given to the men and women who lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Today, Dole is known for his 1996 presidential campaign.
He is also known as a pitchman for Visa, Pepsi and the little blue diamonds known as Viagra. It is too bad that this is what Dole is now famous for, because the Dole Institute shows us Dole the KU student, Dole the World War II soldier and Dole the politician.
So how does an institute honoring a man from the "greatest generation" benefit the students at the University of Kansas?
The Institute is designed to be a model for future generations about the good of public service. Inside, the Institute of Politics contains an expansive timeline of the life of Bob Dole, from his youth spent in Russell, to his days as a student at the University, through the groundbreaking of the institute itself.
The most noteworthy of the displays is the uniform Dole wore during World War II, with his Purple Heart and Bronze Star, standing between two support beams taken from the World Trade Center. Towering over all of this is the world's largest stained glass American flag.
The institute is located on West Campus next to the Lied Center, so there is easy access for KU students. Admittance is free 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. seven days a week. Also, the institute was built through private funding from donations, so the cost didn't come out of students' pockets
Students have nothing to lose. The Dole Institute is interesting in the same way any museum is interesting and is definitely worth the trip for anyone curious about life in the time of our fathers and grandfathers, the "greatest generation."

Fight for corporate rights
Our corporations are under attack. GUEST COMMENTARY
Our corporations are under attack. Our biggest, most objective media outlet is being criticized and even poked fun at.
The threat comes in the form of one person: Al Franken. If you haven't heard, FOX News is suing comedian and writer Al Franken in the New York courts, attempting to stop the sale of his forthcoming book, Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. In the lawsuit, a judge is being asked the age-old question: "Why shouldn't FOX News not have exclusive rights to use the words 'fair and balanced?'"
FOX News obtained the exclusive rights to these words, and the phrase, by trademarking them in 1995. If we allow Franken to publish this monstrosity, then we allow him to confuse the public into thinking that a dignified institution of journalism such as FOX News is somehow supportive of this smut-peddler's work.
Bill O'Reilly, an awesome FOX News personality, is pictured on the cover of Franken's book, just beneath the word "Lies." You see the words "fair and balanced" on the cover. This is Franken's desperate attempt to confuse the public into thinking this is a book that has the sanction and the authority of the FOX News Channel. We should be applauding FOX's efforts to stop Franken's work and
demand royalties to his earnings from this slanderous publication.

Ben McCarthy opinion@kansan.com
Al Franken is exactly what the court papers filed by FOX News describe him as: a "parasite," "shrill and unstable" and a person whose "views lack any serious depth or insight." Granted, it's hard for me to write that, because, in the spirit of FOX News analysts, I rarely engage in name-calling. Let's not forget how Franken attacked FOX news personalities when he was "intoxicated and deranged" at a press correspondents' dinner in April 2003, according to the Michael Savage fan club.
Franken scored a best seller a few years ago with his book *Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot*. The book's extraordinary sales numbers were all part of the giant, liberal conspiracy that is only perpetuated through numerous liberal personalities in the liberal media. Let it be known that the charge explicit in that title has never
been proven, plus Limbaugh has lost something like 600 pounds since the book's release.
Franken could do himself a favor to take a cue from someone, say, Ann Coulter, and stop feeding off of name-calling in order to make a living.
If a multi-million-dollar corporation like FOX News cannot be protected from a wacko like Franken, then something is wrong with this country's court system and trademark laws. Heck, this might be just what we need to show that the First Amendment isn't what it's cracked up to be.
If the court doesn't grant an injunction preventing the sale of this book and similar works, then maybe our court system is no longer capable of protecting us from other menaces to society such as Janeane Garofalo, Susan Sarandon and Alec Baldwin.
I guess if you live in Al Franken's liberal world then words such as "fair" and "balanced" can be defined whichever way you want them. It's time for the courts to protect corporations against individuals who feel they have some sort of right to use words and symbols that do not belong to them.

Gun control steals citizen's right to change government
Humans are creatures with an innate capacity for violence. It is this violent nature that causes us to submit to governments, for the good of all. Our agreement to restrain our violent impulses for mutual benefit is the basis of much of Western political theory. Our governments only exist for as long as they continue to act for our benefit.
COMMENTARY
[Image of a smiling man with dark hair and light skin].
Michael Moore's latest movie, *Bowling for Columbine*, asks some interesting questions about how Americans treat firearms. After seeing this movie, one question kept running through my mind: Are guns necessary for American society? The answer is yes.
Matt Dunavan opinion@kansan.com
Gun-control legislation amounts to government deprivation of the natural right that all people have to renegotiate the terms of the social contract that governs them. Is violence the preferred method to alter the state of governing affairs? No. When dealing with despotism, either the human spirit to fight tyranny, or peaceful methods, must fail without the credible threat of violence. The recent war with Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq is a good example. A tyrannical regime can often only be toppled through the use of violence.
All persons are entitled to possess the means to violence. Why? Not because of the Constitution. The 2nd Amendment guarantees all Americans the right to bear arms, but the Constitution is not a moral guide. The framers were not divine, and unless
one wishes to argue that slavery is still acceptable, the Constitution has been shown to be fallible. We must look to a deeper political theory — the Declaration of Independence.
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..."
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
According to the declaration, if our government ceases to represent us, we hold the solemn right to replace that government with one that will respect our wishes. This right is a right that we hold by the very nature of how governments arise. It is the regenerative power of violence that allows for the correction of despotism and the return of freedom
All people have a natural right to reclaim their capacity for violence when threatened by a greater power. We usually call this self-defense. We may even condone violence when
unjustly threatened by our government.
Is our government tyrannical? One would be hard pressed to say yes. And yet, our government routinely takes actions that restrict our ability to combat despotism if the American vigil against tyranny falters.
That is not to say that government has no place interfering in the use of force. We want governments to prohibit things like murder and assault. While the government can regulate the use of force, it may never regulate the ability of someone to commit acts of violence or restrict the means to do so. To inhibit this most basic right is to pave the way for slavery of the human spirit.
Can gun-control laws be justified through public safety? No. A people are safe only when they are protected from all violence, even violence perpetrated by immoral governments. Restricting a person in the right of self-defense leaves her open to acts of violence in the future for which she will have no adequate response.
Many people often argue that they would never allow a gun in their home. To remove the means to violence from a household is to make it safer in the short term, but it does so only be gambling that you will never need to defend yourself from a greater governmental power. In a society of ever-decreasing civil liberties, that is a bet that I refuse to make.

I used my Rock Chalk Meal Plan card at Subway today and it was awesome. I didn't have to use any of my money. It was delicious and I can't wait to eat at Chili's tonight. I am finally going to get some good food. Yeah, go Jayhawks.
For those who live at Jayhawk Towers with me, I recommend you use the Rock Chalk Meal Plan because it was really good food and I get to eat it all of the great places downtown like Subway, Quinton's and Chili's. I want somebody to go there with me, so I want all of you guys to get on the Rock Chalk Meal Plan. It was a great idea. Thank you for starting it here at KU.

I just found out that if I skip a meal at the dining hall I lose that money. It is kind of a rip off. I ate a grape fruit this morning and I guess I paid $8.50 for that grapefruit. Don't get me wrong, it was a great grapefruit, but $6.507 There has got to be a better way.
I hate this online enrollment crap. I was in the middle of adding three classes and I got a message saying the application server was down from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, the day that classes start. It sucks. I couldn't even find a timetable of classes anywhere. That also sucks. We should go back to the old way.
I don't know why but the whole greek system kind of pisses me off. I think that all of the incoming freshman who want to join a fraternity or sorority should be pistol whipped. Pistol whipped by a monkey, a fat monkey, Yeah, a fat monkey with a pistol. I hope it is not loaded, though.

Slanderous statements will not be printed? Then why did you print that thing about the janitors that are lazy at the Art and Design Building? That sounds pretty slanderous to me. If someone has a complaint about an employee they need to address that directly instead of, "Man you guys suck."

Freshman follows brothers' paths
By Zack Hemenway
zhemenway@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Like his two older brothers, Daniel Miller made the drive from Wichita and lugged his gear up the stairs to his residence hall room on a hot Sunday afternoon. Now all he had to do was pick a bed.
His brother Bobby, a junior, had given Daniel a steady stream of advice as he moved into McCollum Hall. Bobby pulled his younger brother out into the hallway, away from their parents for one last recommendation.
"Take the bottom bunk," he whispered. "When you get home from a party late at night, you don't want to be climbing up ladders and stuff."
His brother also told him not to be overwhelmed, but Miller said his Wichita home life made that advice unnecessary. Escaping a combination of household chores and "annoying little brothers" outweighed
any nervousness Miller might have felt.
"I was excited about starting at KU," he said. "Living so many years in a seven-person house, I think I was just ready to get out."
Daniel, the middle son, joined his two older brothers in attending the University, but each picked the school with different goals in mind. Raymond Miller graduated last year with a meteorology degree, and Bobby is studying physical fitness. Daniel is planning to major in theater and film, continuing an interest in acting.
Miller was involved in numerous productions in high school, and hopes to continue acting at the University. He said he immersed himself in his roles, staying in character backstage during productions.
during his year, in one senior-year production, though, staying in character took a little less work. Miller played a comedian who had a hard time making people laugh.
"Everyone said 'you already
were him," he said with a laugh.
"Because every time I try to re-tell a joke, I flub it up."
Miller began his newest role, KU freshman, on Sunday afternoon, and so far the show is going well. He and his roommate are still in the honeymoon stage; they call themselves "the most considerate people we've ever met." He's applied for jobs on campus, just like his brother Bobby.
"It's good to be away from home but still have your family close by." Bobby said.
Bobby. The Miller brothers may be eager to escape their house and gain independence, but they accomplish these goals together. Daniel Miller said Bobby had always looked out for him, and he expected to see his brother regularly.
Bobby and Raymond Miller were roommates for a year, and Daniel and Bobby, who've shared a room at home since middle school, will probably follow that example.
Two "annoying little brothers" left at home could make the Millers a complete Jayhawk family. Daniel Miller thinks there's a good chance 16-year-old Jimmy and 12-year-old Kevin could follow in their brothers' footsteps.
brothers to keep me
"I think at first they'll say 'I don't want to be like my brothers,' " he said. "But eventually they could end up here."
A five-child family of KU students is far from a common occurrence, and Daniel Miller said some familial recognition wouldn't be out of the question. He just couldn't decide what kind of award was appropriate.
"It'd be awesome if all five of us went to KU," he said. "We should get a tuition discount, or a plaque with statues of my parents or something."
For now, Miller has simpler,
more immediate goals in mind.
"I just want to have a good time, meet some interesting people, get good grades, and impress everyone," he said.

Neighborhood split on traffic diverter issue
by Amanda Kim Stairrett
astairrett@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
DO NOT ENTER
Normally she used 18th Street to avoid the hustle and bustle of 19th Street.
Karen Loudon, a physical therapist, commutes to and from the Watkins Memorial Health Center daily.
But recent events have halted Loudon and others' frequent shortcut.
In mid-July, the city of Lawrence installed a traffic diverter on 18th Street, between Maine and Missouri streets, in front of the new Student Recreation Fitness Center.
A new sign does not stop a white SUV from going the wrong direction on 18th Street. The University plans to distribute larger fines to motorists who disregard new one way streets near campus.
The diverter contains a passageway for automobiles, but is marked with "Do Not Enter" signs on both sides. The west side also contains a "Dead End" sign.
The traffic diverter was installed at the request of the University Place Neighborhood Association. The result is a tiny, but important section of road being closed to local commuters. The closing has raised the ire of some members of the neighborhood, while others are enjoying the newly placid stretch of road.
Megan True/Kansan
Aline Hoey, Neighborhood Association president said residents became worried about traffic flow in 1999.
A survey conducted by the city determined several streets in the area were carrying more traffic than they were designed for.
More concern arose during the construction of the Student
Recreation Fitness Center. Some in the neighborhood fear that traffic flow will worsen once the center opens on Sept. 15.
That, combined with traffic from nearby Lawrence High School, left some worried about the state of their neighborhood. However, others in University Place that feel the traffic diverter is causing problems rather than solving them.
It read, "We do not believe the false 'dead end' or 'do not enter' is the answer to any 18th Street traffic concern."
Carothers lives in the neighborhood and said the diverter was a major inconvenience for residents.
"Eighteenth is a street made for the purpose of carrying traffic," she said. "It needs to be open for residents to use."
In a letter to the Lawrence City Commission, Lawrence JournalWorld, the University of Kansas and neighborhood residents, Sheila Maria Kortlucke criticized the diverter's effectiveness.
"traffic is so often blocked up from the traffic light at the intersection of 19th and Naismith, that 18th is the only way to get anywhere," she said.
Heavy traffic along 19th Street often leaves cars lined up to Louisiana or beyond.
The same residents believe the diverter's effects will become worse once basketball season begins. Exits from parking lot 90 are located on 18th
Street. Lot 90 is one of the largest areas used for parking during basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse.
David Woosley, city traffic engineer and traffic safety commission liaison, said he was unaware there was so much disagreement about the issue amongst University Place neighborhood members.
David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, said the University asked the city of Lawrence to re-evaluate his decision to install a diverter. He said the University was concerned with pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU
Public Safety Office said 23 tickets had been issued by campus police officers at the diverter. The $92.50 tickets are given to those who ignore the "do not enter" signs.
Both the KU Public Safety Office and the Lawrence Police Department have jurisdiction to issue tickets at the 18th Street
diverter.
According to Woosley the diverter is temporary. Temporary traffic devices are typically in place for 60 to 90 days.
He said there was no specific length of time the 18th street diverter would be in place.
Teen's private 'Star Wars' video makes debut on Internet Web sites
The Associated Press
Edited by Shane Mettlen
It was a moment of unadulterated goofiness, the kind of thing anyone might do with no one watching: A teen from Quebec videotaped himself as he pretended to wield a light saber "Star Wars" style.
But that private moment went public, very public, when classmates at his high school found the tape in a cabinet and uploaded it onto an Internet file-sharing site this past spring.
Now Ghyslain Raza is known far and wide as the "Star Wars Kid," with a fan base that only
seems to be growing — even though he doesn't want the attention.
The video shows the slightly portly teen awkwardly twirling a golf ball retriever like "Star Wars" bad guy Darth Maul, and has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. Web sites have been dedicated to the youth. Supporters have raised money for him. And several techies have created their own "clone" versions of the video, adding sound and visual effects or placing his image in any number of backdrops — from The Hulk to The Matrix.
Many teens who post their images on the Web would probably be thrilled to get this kind of attention. But Ghyslain, who made the video while doing a school project when he was 15, has said he didn't intend for it to be seen by his classmates, let alone people across the world.
"I want my life back," he said in an e-mail interview with the National Post newspaper, a Canadian daily.
Claiming that their son has been humiliated, his parents are suing the parents of the teens who put the video on the Web.
Democrats in California try different tactics to fight recall
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — California's congressional Democrats urged voters yesterday to oppose the recall but vote for Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, underscoring their fears that a Republican could unseat Gov. Gray Davis in the Oct. 7 election.
Davis, meanwhile, was stepping up efforts to fight for his job, appearing with the state's most popular Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and planning his second town-hall-style meeting in as many days.
The move by California's 31
House Democrats reflects a grow
ing pessimism about Davis' chances, with polls showing his popularity reaching one all-time low after another.
"We will strongly express our firm opposition to this misguided effort between now and Election Day and we will strongly campaign against it," delegation chairwoman Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, said in a statement.
"In addition, we ask that after Californians vote 'no' and reject the recall, they cast a vote for Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante. We believe that whenever there is an election, Californians should always cast their vote."
Davis supporters had urged fellow Democrats to stay off the ballot. Once his lieutenant governor decided to run, Davis still hoped to keep Democrats united against the recall without throwing their support behind Bustamante.
Aides sought to present the congressional Democrats' announcement in a positive light.
"We kind of look at it this way. We're all focused on the same goal, and that's defeating the recall. There's just different strategies out there about how to go about it," said Gabriel Sanchez, spokesman for Davis' campaign committee.

American History "It's a really weird and wonderful way to give the award," Earle said, admitting that he had not been prepared for the Chan-

Unlike Martin, Earle has already earmarked his money for paying off credit card debt from a summer trip to England. He credited his subject matter in helping him to win the award.
He said that American history was inherently interesting.

Tuition: Students struggle with tuition increase, although cost among lowest in Big 12

"I'm really fortunate for my dad, but I'm doing my part," Unzera said.
Unger, who received her degree in elementary education last year, has worked five different jobs in her time at the University, including waitressing at the now-closed Brown Bear Brewing Company, a peer educator and a job at a local day-care center.
She is looking for another job despite working with an autistic child and doing school required student teaching at a grade school in Shawnee Mission.
"This is where I really wanted to go," she said. "You can't tell one kid they can go out-of-state and tell the other ones they can't."
Unger said that Kansas is reasonable for out of state kids, compared to other schools like the University of Colorado where the average tuition costs for nonresidents is $20,336 compared to Kansas with its price of $11,577. In fact despite the price increases, the University is seventh lowest in the Big 12 Conference for residents and eighth lowest for nonresidents, not including Baylor, the league's
only private school.
It seems it's a torn situation when it comes to education, Unger said, where you raise costs to improve the overall product but make that product harder to obtain due to higher costs.
"It's always a struggle, but if it's going to help our education, I support it," Unger said of the increase. "Education is so important. Quality education on levels should be more accessible. I'm sure there's a lot of people that wish they could go where it's best for them but they can't. I think that's unfortunate. I consider
COMPARING THE COSTS:
Tuition is on the rise at the University of Kansas, but it remains one of the cheapest schools in the Big 12 for 2003-2004 school year, especially for nonresidents.

Liberia's peace talks appoint interim leader
The Associated Press
MONROVIA, Liberia — Liberia's combatants yesterday chose a longtime campaigner against rule by warlords to lead the country's post-war interim government.
The top U.N. envoy for Liberia, meanwhile, said he would ask the Security Council for 15,000 troops to secure the peace — a U.N. force that, if approved, would be the largest anywhere in the world.
The announcement of the selection of Gyude Bryant, a businessman seen as a consensus builder, came at the close of 78 days of tumultuous peace talks in Accra, Ghana.
Speaking in Monrovia, U.N. envoy Jacques Klein, an American, also said he had asked the
United States to keep some of its troops here to help train a new army for Liberia — despite President Bush's commitment to pulling out a roughly 200-strong U.S. deployment by Oct.1.
U. S. deploymen "We are hoping the U.S. will take it on," Klein told The Associated Press.
An 11-member U.N. assessment team arrived in Monrovia, charged with briefing the Security Council before it determines the scope and mission of the already approved U.N. peace force.
Two rebel movements and the government signed a peace accord Monday, ending the latest in 14 years of militia rivalries that bloodied and ruined Liberia, once sub-Saharan Africa's richest nation.
The accord followed Charles Taylor's Aug. 11 resignation and
flight into exile under pressure from fellow West African leaders, the United States and rebels laying siege to his capital.
In Accra, the West African mediator for 21/2 months of talks sent the combatants home Thursday with an admonishment to keep the peace and a plea for all Liberians to support it.
"You have to play your part," mediator Abdulsalami Abubakar, a retired Nigerian general, said after delegates finished their deliberations before dawn. "Your country has bled for quite some time now."
Under Monday's peace accord, Bryant (whose first name is pronounced "JOOD-eh") and his administration will take over Oct. 14 from Moses Blah, the former vice president selected by Taylor as his successor.
He is to serve as chairman in a two-year interim government that will preside over elections, turning over power to democratically chosen successors in 2005.
canyl chosen success
"I see myself as bringing about
a balance across the board,"
Bryant told the AP an interview
Thursday. "I have lived there
throughout all these problems,
and I see myself as a healer."
and I see myself as a leader.
Unlike the other two candidates nominated by political parties and civic groups, Bryant is considered neither inflexibly for or against Taylor. Owner of a mining- and port-equipment company, he is not prominent in politics — but has been influential at times.
The National Action Party to which he belongs was formed in the 1980s to counter former Sgt. Samuel Doe, a semi-illiterate who
oversaw the savage overthrow and execution of Liberia's longtime American-Liberian elite, descendants of freed American slaves.
In 1997, Bryant spearheaded an alliance of six political parties to try to block Taylor's victory in the first presidential elections following Liberia's 1989-96 civil war. The effort failed.
war. The choice was Taylor, a Libyan-trained guerrilla fighter who had launched the civil war, won easily, boosted by his charisma, his illicit profits in underworld trafficking and public fears he would restart the civil war if he lost.
Bryant said his priorities included demobilizing young fighters and restoring security, water and electricity. Power was knocked out in fighting in 1992, and Taylor never repaired it.

Residents remember Quantrill's Raid at vigil
By Amanda Kim Stairrett

kansan staff writer
Ghosts of Lawrence's past seemed to come alive last night among the gravestones of Oak Hill Cemetery.
Although it was 140 years after Quantill's Raid, more than 60 Lawrence residents gathered by candlelight on a summit at the cemetery, 1605 Oak Hill Ave., to hold a vigil for the victims.
"We heard the raiders before we saw them," said Harold Riehm, Lawrence resident who portrayed the Rev. Richard Cordley when he gave his funeral sermon in memory of the victims.
At dawn on Aug. 21, 1863, the crack of gunfire blasted through Lawrence. A young Missourian named William Clarke Quantrill led more than 300 followers down Massachusetts Street, looting and setting buildings on fire. After the
mayhem, close to 200 men and boys lay dead, and nearly 100 homes and businesses were destroyed.
Steven King, a junior at Bishop Seabury Academy, attended the vigil as part of this United States history class. His assignment was to write a paper about an important person in American history.
Amidst the sounds of train whistles, barking dogs and sirens, Riehm recited the original sermon given by Cordley in 1863.
Women in hoop skirts and men in uniform were accompanied by a violin as they read the names of victims.
Rebecca Phipps, Watkins Community Museum director, said it was important to observe the raid on Lawrence because it had affected the city's character.
"The Civil War really shaped our relationship and culture between Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri," she said.

The candlelight vigil was held in conjunction with the Watkins Community Museum's 8th Annual Civil War on the Western Frontier. Activities in the past week included lectures on Kansas historical figures; old-fashioned photography sessions, with sepia tones and authentic costumes; and museum exhibits such as Civil War money and medicine, and classic children's games. There were also demonstrations of classic spinning and weaving.
An ongoing computer exhibit entitled "Lawrence, Kansas, 1863" is available at the museum, 1047 Massachusetts St.

Soccer declines in poll

Sophomore Caroline Smith tries to move past junior defender Stacy Leeper during a team practice. Smith was recently chosen for the 2003 Preseason All-Big 12 team.As one of three forwards chosen from the Big 12 conference, the Edina, Minn., sophomore destroyed KU's single season scoring record with 12 goals, and led the Big 12 in points per game and goals per game.

Big 12 Conference coaches picked the University of Kansas soccer team to finish seventh in the conference in a preseason poll released Tuesday. Last season's poll picked Kansas to finish sixth, which is exactly where the team finished with a 4-5-1 Big 12 record.
Coach Mark Francis said he didn't know why the team dropped a spot from last year. He said the poll would likely motivate the team. He said the players laughed when he told them.
"That is why you play the games," he said. "Maybe we'll surprise them."
Francis said he expected the conference to be tough this year.
"On any given day anybody could beat anybody," he said.
Texas placed first in the poll with 96 points and seven first place votes. Texas A&M, defending Big 12 champion, came in second with 89 points and two first place votes and defending Big 12 Tournament champion Nebraska came in third with 88 points and two first place votes.
Missouri rounded out the top four with 63 points. Despite losing to the Jayhawks 5-1 last season, Colorado jumped from seventh to fifth this year after a 10-8-2 finish. The Buffaloas received 62 points. Oklahoma was the final team to place ahead of the Jayhawks with 55 points.
Caroline Smith, sophomore forward from Edina, Minn., received
honors from the Big 12 coaches. Smith was named to the 2003 Preseason All-Big 12 Conference soccer team.
Francis said he thought Smith's great freshman season helped push her into the Big 12 elite. The coaches only pick three forwards for the preseason team. Texas' Kelly Wilson and Kelly McDonald fill the final two spots.

"I think it's a great honor for her," Francis said. "She's in with very good company."
company. Last season Smith broke Kansas' single-season scoring record with 12 goals. She also led the Big 12 in goals per-game with 0.8 and points-per game with 1.80.

especially because she missed five games last season due to injury. She said she thought she was a better player this year and would like to make the All-Big 12 team at the end of the season, when it really counts.
As for her team's seventh place ranking, Smith's not worried.
"We just have to go out and play the games," she said.

K-State, Cal to play in BCA

After years of several kickoff classic games, this year will be home to just two, the Black Coaches Association Classic and the Literacy Classic, which is a new classic this year.

Mangino following blueprint for success
Ever read the book, How To Build a Football Powerhouse?
This scenario is similar to what Kansas coach Mark Mangino faces in the years to come. He has the daunting task of trying to take a team back to a bowl game, where it hasn't been since 1995. He also faces some of the toughest league competition in America in the Big 12 Conference.
I'm guessing you haven't, because this book doesn't exist, and neither has any other coach in America. The book could solve the problems a new head coach faces when resurrecting a team from the conference cellar into a national championship contender.
in consequence. If Mangino were to read that book it would include some of the accomplishments the program has already achieved in his second season at the helm.
The introductory chapter would give the reader a sense of what it takes for a great football team to succeed before hitting the field. The team must be in a place where football can shine and have the opportunity to establish its own tradition.

A task that is easier said than done
the team:
With these two aspects of the program established, Kansas has to just find a way to win some games.
A task that is easier said than done.
The next couple of chapters to the book would deal with personnel moves inside the program. The Jayhawks have a coach who has previous experience with winning teams. Mangino was an assistant with Kansas State and Oklahoma who both rebuilt themselves into perennial contenders. Mangino knows what it takes to revive a football team and what is necessary for this team to succeed.
is necessary for this team Kansas now has an athletics director in Lew Perkins who is dedicated to moving the football program in a positive direction.
These two men are necessary for success and the fictitious book would describe the importance of a coach and athletics director who are on the same page.
The next step in the rebuilding process is to find a diamond in the rough, a player who can raise the level of talent around him while carrying the team on his shoulders.
shoulders. Oklahoma had Josh Huepel, K-State had Michael Bishop.
Kansas has quarterback Bill Whittemore.
The senior needs only 32 passing yards to break into Kansas' top 10 for career passing yards, and he's only played nine games as a Jayhawk. Whittemore is a special player and the reigning Big 12 offensive newcomer of the year. He has the ability to help the Jayhawks beat more talented teams because of his playmaking ability. If Whittemore can improve the team, confidence will increase even after he leaves Kansas.

James signs for six years of Sprite
The Associated Press
ATLANTA  LeBron James has signed a six-year deal with the Coca-Cola Co. to be a key endorser of Sprite.
The company stopped running Sprite ads featuring Kobe Bryant in early July, around the same time he was accused of raping a woman in Colorado. Company spokesman Scott Williamson said yesterday the deal with James — this year's No. 1 draft pick — was "unrelated to Kobe Bryant's situation."
Financial terms of James' deal, which

also calls for him to endorse Powerade, weren't disclosed.
The Coke deal comes a week after sports-drink company Gatorade pulled out of negotiations with the Cleveland Cavaliers rookie.
He twice was named Gatorade's player of the year, and it had been assumed he would become one of its
pitchmen, following in the footsteps of his idol. Michael Jordan.
"I have been drinking Sprite and Powerade for a long time," James said in a statement. "I have always admired the way Sprite and Powerade spoke to young people."

Coke has said it planned to stop running Bryant ads temporarily even before the accusations.
Judge keeps sexual assault case sealed
The Associated Press
EAGLE, Colo. — A judge yesterday rejected the media's request to see detailed court records in the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case, agreeing to unseal only the arrest warrant.
Eagle County Judge Frederick Gannett said the search warrant, the affidavit and other material will remain sealed until the case is decided. He put his order on hold and gave attorneys 10 days to appeal.
Media organizations reacted angrily and said the decision shortchanges the public.
public:
Without the documents, the public has no way of knowing whether the sheriff's office and other agencies acted properly in arresting Bryant, said Chris Beall, an attorney for the media organizations.
"What the judge is saying is that in those documents were statements that have little relevance and are unnecessarily prejudicial and inflammatory," Beall said. "I think the voters in Eagle County would like to know whether Sheriff (Joseph) Hoy's office engaged in improper conduct."
Krista Flannigan, spokeswoman for District Attorney Mark Hurlibert, said she could not comment on the specifics of the ruling. A spokeswoman for Hoy did not immediately return a message.
Court documents in the high-profile case have been sealed since the Los Angeles Lakers star was arrested last month. Media organizations sought their release over the objections of prosecutors and defense attorneys.
tors and defense attorneys.
The arrest warrant and related materials contain nothing that would endanger Bryant's right to a fair trial and should be released, Gannett said. But other documents — including the search warrant and its affidavit — will remain sealed.
Gannett said those records contain "factual statements describing graphic details of the alleged sexual encounter," medical test results, evidence that can be challenged in court and the statements of potential witnesses.
"The court concludes that there is a substantial probability that the defendant's right to a fair trial would be prejudiced by disclosure of the affidavit and search warrant materials and that such prejudice could be prevented by non-disclosure," Gannett wrote.

In his decision, Gannett said releasing
court documents with details blacked out, or redacted, wasn't an option because the prejudicial material was too intertwined with other information.
Gannett has threatened to bar from his courtroom news organizations that identify Bryant's accuser. He did allow cameras in the courtroom for Bryant's initial court appearance Aug. 6, over the objections of defense attorneys.
Meanwhile, a 22-year-old Iowa man was arrested yesterday and charged with threatening to kill Bryant's accuser.
John Roche of Iowa City left a profanity-laced message on the answering machine of the accuser in Eagle on July 27, according to a federal grand jury indictment. The caller threatened to assault the woman with a coat hanger and repeatedly said he would kill her.

Twins wipe Royals out of first; loss was fourth in a row for club
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Shannon Stewart hit a tying, three-run homer in the sixth inning and the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh to help the Minnesota Twins knock the Kansas City Royals out of first place with a 4-3 victory Thursday night.
The Royals, Chicago White Sox and Twins all began the day within a halfgame of each other in the AL Central. The last time Minnesota was ahead of Kansas City was June 30.
The Royals, who have lost four straight and seven of nine, play the Twins three more times this weekend.
Kansas City starter Paul Abbott took a no-hit bid and a 3-0 lead into the sixth but faded fast and gave up the tying home run to Stewart.
Stewart then knocked in A.J. Pierzynski with a single in the seventh off Al Levine (3-6) to give the Twins the lead.

The Twins drove only one ball out of the infield and were held hitless through five innings by Abbott, who pitched in parts of three seasons for Minnesota in the early 1990s. He was acquired by the Royals in an Aug. 8 trade with Arizona and called up from Triple-A three days later.

Roddick will face Henman
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Venus Williams gets to play a qualifier in the first round of the U.S. Open.
Andre Agassi starts off against someone who's 10-17 in 2003.
Andy Roddick, though, won't get a chance to ease into the last Grand Slam tournament of the year.
A final between No. 4 Roddick and No. 1 Agassi is possible thanks to Wednesday's draw, but first things first.
Roddick was drawn to begin with a tough match against Tim Henman — the only player who beat him during the summer hard-court season.
"If Roddick gets through the first round," U.S. Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe said at the draw ceremony at United Nations headquarters, "he should be in very good shape to get through to the semis."

The women's rowing season begins soon, and walk-on tryouts start Wednesday, Aug. 27, at 5 p.m. in Hadl Auditorium. An information meeting will commence first, and then the tryouts will follow. Practice starts Sept. 2.
Practice is a three-week trial process, where rowing coach Rob Catloth and assistant rowing coach Jennifer Myers teach the new athletes how to row. The training will finish before the team's first meet on Oct. 12 at Head of the Rock, in Rockford, Ill.
Myers said the rowing team actually has two teams: novice and varsity. The novice team
consists of first-year rowers, most of who are walk-on athletes, and the varsity队 consists of all the returning athlete. Myers said 30 to 40 athletics would be needed for the novice team, although the varsity team has plenty of members this year.
The rowing team is sponsored by KU, which means athletes are eligible for scholarships after
"We have a lot of veterans on the varsity team, a lot of different ages on the team." Myers said. team
Catloth said the rowing team won most of its dual races last season, including the freshman novice race, second varsity race and the eight-member and fourmember races. The rowing team also ranked third in team points amongst the Big 12.
Beth Olson, Arlington, Texas, senior, was as optimistic about the upcoming season as Catloth.
"I believe we're ready to fight." Olson said. "We don't put in the hard work for no reason."
The walk-on tryouts are open for anyone and no previous experience is necessary.

Ballow:'Hawks have tough games CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Another important aspect to building a national powerhouse includes recruiting. Right now Mangino is limited in the quality of recruits he can convince to play at Kansas. However, this year Mangino chose to recruit junior college players who were proven talents at their respective schools. The list mainly includes some extremely fast linebackers to help the Jayhawk defense, which gave up an average of 42 points per game last season. The strategy is similar to Oklahoma's method of obtaining junior college athletes who are sometimes overlooked players.
One of the last chapters in the book of how to build a football powerhouse is on scheduling.
powerhouse is No matter what teams Mangino schedules outside the conference, the Jayhawks are assured a tough schedule because of the Big 12's strength. This year Kansas will play three of the first four games at home, and all four games are winnable. This year's squad can win five to six games and make strides for many seasons to come.
No, there isn't a book that describes exactly how to build a football powerhouse, but there is a blueprint, and Mangino's following it.
BCA: KSU-Cal to at Arrowhead
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
friday,august22,2003
CON TURNED FROM HERE
After years of several kickoff classic games, this year will be home to just two: the Black Coaches Association Classic and the Literacy Classic, a new classic this year.
this year The BCA Classic is played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Starting this season, several classics were ended because the season was already 12 games.
12 games. Three years ago, the NCAA voted to have seasons of 12 games in years when there was a certain number of Saturdays during the season. Last year was also 12 games, but next year will have 11 games.
Bo Carter, Big 12 Conference assistant commissioner, said the NCAA would continue to evaluate preseason classic games on a year-by-year basis. While there are few classic games this year, the number could still increase in 2004.
Carter said the games were great to have from a publicity standpoint.
"The only drawback is that if Kansas State goes to the Big 12 Championship game, they will have played a record 15 games counting their bowl," Carter said. "But it's one of the few games being played, and exposure-wise is worth it's weight in gold."
The NCAA granted an extra game to the BCA Classic because lightning struck Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va., cancelling the Virginia Tech-Georgia matchup in 2000.
matchup in 2006.
The game would have pitted two All-American run-pass quarterbacks in Virginia Tech's Michael Vick and Georgia Tech's Joe Hamilton against each other.
each other.
This year's classic will feature another speedy quarterback in K-State's Ell Roberson. Blessed with great speed and agility, the only question has been Roberson's arm, having completed only 52 percent of his passes last season.
Bill Snyder said that Roberson
"The only drawback is that if Kansas State goes to the Big 12 Championship game, they will have played a record 15 games counting their bowl."
Bo Carter Big 12 Conference assistant commissioner
was one of the leaders for the Wildcats.
"Our players have gained a great respect for Ell over the years, particularly last year with the improvement he made," Snyder said. "They feel extremely confident about his capabilities and how he interacts with our offensive football team."
K-State also returns the shifty Darren Sproles, who set several records last year as a sophomore. The defense, led by Andrew Shull and Josh Buhl, is fast and experienced.
While K-State returns experience at almost every position, most of California's talent graduated after a surprising 7-5 record last year.
Jeff Tedford, Cal football coach, must replace his leading quarterback and a 1,000 yard running back along with several key players on defense.
New quarterback Reggie Robertson threw for just 64 yards last season and could be pushed by Aaron Rogers, a junior college transfer.
The inexperienced quarterback will face a defense that allowed just 249 yards per game, while Cal's rebuilt defense will try to slow down last year's second ranked scoring offense with 44.8 points per game.
Athlon's preseason annuals said too many blowout games was one of the reasons for shutting down the early season classics.

Marlin's NASCAR comeback a letdown
The Associated Press
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Sterling Marlin's luck ran out almost a year ago, when a broken vertebra snapped his shot at his first Winston Cup title.
soft cup but
Since then it's been a string of
blown motors, broken parts, tire
troubles and bad timing that have
prevented Marlin from repeating
his near-dream season.
"This year, we've had all kinds of trouble," he said.
It started at the season-opener when Marlin was black-flagged for driving below the yellow line at Daytona.
Even though Marlin and many of his competitors thought the penalty was unjust, it set the tone for a series of mishaps for the No. 40 Dodge.
There have been other mishaps and broken parts along the way - including two weeks ago in Watkins Glen, when engine problems knocked him out on the first lap - and a little driver error. Almost certain victory was lost at Michigan when he missed a shift on a restart.
But if there one's thing his Chip Ganassi Racing team is sure of, it's that the 46-year-old Tennessee is driving as hard as he did last year.
"I think Sterling is the exact same driver he was last year," crew chief Lee McCall said.
Marlin did drive his wheels off after a pre-race motor change moved him back to the 43rd starting spot. He sliced his way to the front of the field, all the way to fifth.
But bad luck struck again: The race was decided on fuel mileage and Marlin's Dodge can't stretch gas as long as some of the others. A late pit stop for fuel turned his race to a 19thplace finish.
place him.
"To work your guts out all day, and then you have nothing to show for it at the end, it makes you want to throw up," Marlin said.
So they're now looking forward to a typically strong stretch of the season for Marlin.
He heads to his home track in Bristol, Tenn., this weekend, then it's on to Darlington and Richmond, where he's always strong. Marlin particularly has his eye on Darlington and Richmond the next two weeks.
He's got three top-10 finishes in the past five races at Bristol, a tight,.533-mile bullring that he considers one of his favorite tracks.

NCAA grants waivers to BU players
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Baylor basketball players who transfer because of the school's self-imposed probation will be exempt from an NCAA rule that they sit out a year, NCAA officials ruled Wednesday.
"The waivers have been granted," said Jeff Howard, NCAA director of public relations. "The transfers will not have to sit out."
Baylor President Robert Sloan Jr. offered all players a release from their scholarships on Aug. 8, when he announced major violations had been found in the basketball program. He asked the NCAA to waive its rule that players transferring within NCAA Division I schools sit out one year before being eligible.
Although the NCAA has
waived its rule, individual conference rules still apply, Howard said.
The Big 12 Conference requires players transferring within the league to sit out a year. Baylor junior forward Kenny Taylor said Tuesday that he will transfer to Texas.
It was not immediately clear if the Big 12 would consider transfer waivers for Baylor players. Calls by The Associated Press to Big 12 officials Wednesday night were not immediately returned.
The ruling was made by a fiveperson subcommittee of the NCAA's Management Council called the Administrative Review Subcommittee.
Howard was unsure if the NCAA had ever granted such a blanket ruling about transfer waivers.
"I can't say for sure that this has never happened," he said. "But
this was definitely a very unusual circumstance."
Lawrence Roberts, Baylor's top scoreer and rebounder last season said Monday he will transfer to Mississippi State.
Junior guard John Lucas III has also requested his release, as have sophomore forward Tommy Swanson and junior college transfer Harvey Thomas.
Lucas has said losing a year of eligibility would be a deterrent to transferring.
Baylor recruit Tyrone Nelson, a center, enrolled at Prairie View A&M last week.
A&M last week.
The school launched an internal inquiry into possible NCAA violations in July, after allegations surfaced of improper payments to players following the disappearance of junior Patrick Dennehy. Coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton resigned
Aug.8.
The school then placed itself on a two-year probation and won't participate in any postseason tournaments next season, including the Big 12 tournament. All players were offered a release from their scholarships, allowing them to transfer to other schools.
Howard said the university presents the facts to NCAA and then the facts are reviewed by staff and committees before a ruling is made.
Dennehy's body was found in a field near Waco on July 25, four days after teammate Carlton Dotson was charged with murder. An autopsy report showed Dennehy died of two gunshot wounds to the head.
Carlton remains in a jail in his home state of Maryland as prosecutors work to extradite him to Texas.
Problems plague some Big Ten teams
By Donovan Burba
The Daily iowan via U-WIRE
The University of Iowa
IOWA CITY, Iowa — At the Big Ten football media day in late July, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz expressed his relief at a summer devoid of the kind of off-the-field problems that plagued the Hawkeyes in 2002.
Not all of his peers have been so blessed. Players from several Big Ten programs ran into academic, legal or NCAA-compliance trouble this off-season, leaving coaches scrambling to fill holes and deal with inquisitive media and NCAA investigators. What sets the summer of 2003 apart from its recent predecessors is the number of big-name players who find themselves facing suspension — or worse.
The problems start at the top. Ohio State's Maurice Clarett and Michigan's Marlin Jackson, the Big Ten's preseason offensive and defensive player of the year, respectively, could find themselves riding the pine at the start of the season.
Clarett, who was fourth in the league in rushing last season, is suspected of benefiting from academic favoritism after a former Ohio State teaching assistant alleged that the running back was allowed to take an oral exam after walking out of a beginning-level midterm. He was the only student allowed an oral exam.
The former teaching assistant met with NCAA investigators Wednesday and alleged that Clarett's grades had been changed and that he had been given answers to quizzes by
tutors. Although neither the NCAA nor Ohio State has concluded its investigation, Clarett has been held out of all team functions, including practices.
Coach Jim Tressel said Aug. 16 that even if his star back—considered an early Heisman favorite—is cleared of any wrongdoing, he might not be in game shape in time for the defending national champion Buckeyes' opener on Aug. 30 against Washington.
Michigan's Jackson, a preseason All-America defensive back, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault on Aug. 13, avoiding a more serious charge of felonious assault. The versatile junior was accused of hitting a man in the eye with a bottle at a party. Jackson's sentencing isn't until Sept. 11, and coach Lloyd Carr hasn't
made any decisions on his star's fate. However, it would be highly unusual for a player, even one of Jackson's caliber, not to be suspended after pleading guilty to such a charge.
One marquee name who is already out for the year is Purdue running back Joey Harris. The Boilermakers' leading rusher in 2002 failed to post a 2.0 GPA by the beginning of his fourth year, an NCAA requirement, effectively ending his Purdue career. Coach Joe Tiller said Harris, only the fifth player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, "didn't measure up" to the team's expectations. Backups Brandon Jones and Jerod Void will battle for the vacant position, but neither can match Harris' speed and experience.

Today's Birthday (Aug. 22)
Today's birthday! All of that hard work you put in is finally paying off. You'll see an increase in revenue, but don't spend it all in one place. It's still important for you to stick to a tight budget.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8
Put a lid on your exuberance and you'll make a better impression. Wear your best outfit and be on your best manners. You could win an important heart.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a7
You've been through a tough phase, but the hard part is just about over. You'll see over the next few days that it's all downhill from here.
Gemini (May21-June21) Today is a7
You're a free thinker, but you'd be wise to channel your energy. You love knowing something about everything, but you'd be better off learning a lot about saving money.

money.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is
You've been gathering rosebuds and other treasures for the last few weeks. Scurry around and finish the job. You're about to get a new assignment.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6 It's good to have faith in yourself, but also do the homework. Your team will follow you anywhere. Better figure out where you're going.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7
You'll find that your recent experiences will help you become stronger. Support from those who admire you is certainly a big help, too.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7 Having friends over to your house this weekend is better than traveling far. Besides, a lot of them would like to see your place. Better tidy it up.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a7

you and your team are gaining it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _Today is a 7 _It's getting a little more difficult to win. Greater skill will be required. Make sure you understand the rules and play strictly by them for the next few weeks.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19) Today is a 7
Gold is a handy item to have packed away, as are other valuables. But your most important assets, of course, are the people you love. Let them know you know.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7
Your actions speak louder than words as you and a partner get down to work. Conservation is a good theory, but it's better when put into practice.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7
The hard part is just about over. The relaxation phase starts soon. After that comes maintenance. After what you've been through, that'll be a breeze.

Off-season proves turbulent for Big 12
By Jeey Berlin jberlin@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
When the 2002-03 NCAA basketball season ended in April, Patrick Dennehy, Larry Eustachy and Ricky Clemons weren't household names. The three were familiar to fans of Big 12 Conference basketball, but most fans across the nation would have been hard-pressed to identify them.
Four months and hundreds of headlines later, all three men are nationally known — but not

in jail, he's the subject of investigations by both the NCAA and the FBI.
Dennehy was killed, and the investigation of his murder uncovered revelations that threaten Baylor's basketball program. Eustachy, Iowa State's former coach, is out of a job. And not only is Clemons, a former Missouri guard, both off the team ap-
Eustachy had been Iowa State's basketball coach since 1998, leading the Cyclones to back-to-back conference titles in 2000 and 2001.
But in April, photographs of Eustachy at a party with University of Missouri students appeared on the Internet. The photos depicted Eustachy drinking beer and kissing women on the cheek. It was later revealed Eustachy also attended a party at Kansas State
Eustachy said he was an alcoholic and promised to seek treatment. He also said he wouldn't resign. But Iowa State and Eustachy reached an agreement on a contract buyout May 5. Iowa State promoted assistant coach Wayne Morgan to take over Eustachy's job.
Jon Fleming, an Iowa State booster and resident of Ames, Iowa, said the Eustachy scandal was an emotional issue for Iowa
State's fan base.
"It clearly just ripped apart the fans and the community on both sides of the issue," Fleming said. "I think the majority have moved on and are ready to bury the hatchet, support the new staff and go forward."
Fleming said he didn't think Eustachy's actions merited a firing.
"My bias is, it was a couple of nights of indiscretion," he said. "But I don't know the whole story, and 99 percent of the people don't know the whole story."
"I don't think any of the fans are qualified to make that decision without all of the information."
The Clemons saga began in January, after the Missouri guard was arrested and charged with abusing his girlfriend, Jessica Bunge. Clemons pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, but was allowed to participate in a work-release program. He then violated the terms of his release when he was injured in an all-terrain vehicle accident during a party at the home of Missouri's president, Elson Floyd. After that embarrassing incident, Clemons headed to prison. He was later removed from the basketball team.
Now the NCAA is investigating whether Clemons received illegal gifts and improper academic help at Missouri. Bunge reportedly told NCAA investigators Clemons received money and clothing from Missouri's coaching staff and cheated on exams. In a deposition, coach Quin Snyder said he remembered giving Clemons clothing, which he said "probably" constituted an NCAA violation.
The FBI is investigating Clemons for unspecified reasons. This week, the bureau seized 28 hours of telephone calls made and received by Clemons in prison.
But none of those troubles compared to the situation at Baylor. Dennehy, a forward who sat out last season after transferring from New Mexico, disappeared in mid-June. Former Baylor player Carlton Dotson, a close friend of Dennehy, was arrested and charged with his murder July 21. Four days later, authorities found Dennehy's body in a field outside
"It clearly just ripped apart the fans and the community on both sides of the issue."

 and Ames, Iowa, resident
Waco, Texas. An autopsy report revealed Dennehy was shot twice in the head.
Just as the drama at Baylor seemed to be ending, more turmoil hit the athletics department. Coach Dave Bliss and Tom Stanton, athletics director, resigned Aug. 8 after a school investigation discovered evidence of NCAA infractions in the basketball program, including illegal payments to players.
Then Baylor assistant coach Abar Rouse gave the Fort Worth Star Telegram a tape recording of a conversation he had with Bliss. On the tape Bliss reportedly attempted to convince Rouse to help him fabricate a story that Dennehye was a drug dealer, a ruse meant to cover for Bliss' illegal payments to the player.
player.
The NCAA announced this week that it would waive its transfer rules for Baylor players, meaning any player who wants to play at another school can begin doing so immediately without sitting out a year. Several players have already announced an intent to transfer.
Some observers and newspaper columnists have speculated that Baylor could be removed from the conference. Big 12 assistant commissioner Bo Carter said ousting a school from the Big 12 would require a conference vote at an emergency meeting, with nine schools voting in favor of removal. But Carter said that isn't being considered yet.
"At this point, Baylor is staying in the Big 12." Carter said.
Even so, as the investigations at Missouri and Baylor continue, so do nonstop rumors and speculation. The Big 12 basketball world has been spun upside down since the last time any of its members played a game — and the spinning doesn't appear to be over yet.

Report pegs Kansas 44th best in rankings lack of funding blamed for fall in stature
By Maggie Newcomer

Kansan staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's Opening Convocation goal of moving the University of Kansas into the top 25 public universities by 2010 took a blow Friday when the University was ranked 44th on U.S. News and World Report's 2004 list.

University drops in rank
The University fell three spots from its 41st rank last year.
its 41st rank last year.
Provost David Shulenburger said insufficient state funding was a big reason for the University's drop in stature. The lack of funds resulted in lower faculty salaries, he said, which affected the rankings.
"A lot of schools in the Midwest just don't have the resources," Shulen-burger said.
Six of the Big 12 schools ranked in the top 50, and they all ranked lower this year than in 2003. All six schools' budgets were cut.

Shulenburger said without enough
But the University's top 25 goal is not a lost cause. The University scored well in graduation rates, retention rates and reputation. And the graduation and retention rates are improving, Shulen-burger said.
money from the state, it would be almost impossible to move the University into the top 25.
The School of Business ranked 33rd on the list of undergraduate business programs at public universities and the School of Engineering was 40th in undergraduate engineering programs, both up from last year.
Shulenburger said that there were many positive programs at the University that U.S. News and World Report doesn't use to rank the schools. Faculty awards, research grants and endowment were not considered, he said.
ment were not, director of University Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said one list that was overlooked by many was the 2004 Fiske Guide to Colleges. The Fiske Guide listed the University as one of its 22 best buys.
"We received four out of a possible five stars again."Bretz said. Academics,
"They can be somewhat fickle from year to year," Shulenburger said.

Green grass in Lawrence is becoming harder and harder to find these days.
And with the prospect of yet another string of 100 or above degree days in store for this week, a patch of green grass should be considered a wonder of nature.
Last week, when temperatures in Lawrence reached triple digits seven days in a row from Aug. 16 to Aug.22, Lawrence was one of the hottest spots in the country. The heat wave was punctuated by last Thursday's nationwide high of 109 degrees — not including the heat index.

"It's to the point where you can't even do anything outside," said Matt Rhoades, St. Louis senior, who noticed the high temperatures while walking down Massachusetts Street on Fridav.
Courtney Kunlew Akinshi Nathan Bammes, Topeka freshman, got a drink of water in the shade after playing Ultimate Frisbee yesterday afternoon in front of Allen Fieldhouse. Temperatures in Lawrence reached 103 degrees.
Temperatures stayed out of the 100s and in the mid to high 90s this past weekend, providing a small amount of relief, but today's high is expected to be around 103 degrees with the mercury forecasted to hit triple digits Tuesday and Wednesday as well.
Many students back for the first day of classes last Thursday who were not used to dealing with such high temperatures didn't know what to think.

The 23rd Annual Kansas State Fiddling & Picking Championships were held on two stages at South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets. The event presented an array of concerts and contests on a sizzling afternoon.
Brad Levy, a Lawrence resident
who helped with the event, said up to 100 participants were scheduled to compete in the contests, an increase from previous years. Performers ranged from fiddler, banjo and mandolin players to fingerpick and flatnick guitarists.
All contests were open to those who did not take first place last year.
David Barnhill, Lawrence sophomore, entered the fat-pick contest and
has been playing for three years.
"I've always wanted to come play in this," he said.
Others across Kansas also tried their hand in the contest. Allan Standard of Wellsville returned after placing third in the flat-pick contest last year. He said the heat could give him hope to finish well this year.

Ethernet viruses infect campus residence halls
University of Kansas students living in Ellsworth and Oliver Halls lost Internet service on Thursday afternoon.
The University's Information Services allowed Resnet to shut down the Ethernet service to the halls after detecting a high number of infected computers putting viruses onto the University's system.
The Ethernet services were turned off to isolate the viruses and prevent spreading infection throughout campus.
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for information services, said that buildings throughout campus had infected computers in them. Technicians were updating the machines to protect against the viruses, but updates had to be done in a machine-by-machine process.
Goodyear said that the computers were being affected by the Blaster worm, also known as the Lovsn virus, the Sobig.F worm and the Nachi, or Welchi, worm.
Oliver's Ethernet service was turned back on early Thursday evening and Ellsworth's service came back up around 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Allison Lopez, assistant to the vice provost for information services, said Information Services did not think it would have to turn off Internet access in other buildings.
"As of now, everything seems okay.
We'll see how tomorrow goes," Lopez said.

CU marching band members ticketed for illegal drinking
GUNBARREL, Colo. — A day after attending alcohol awareness classes, 21 members of the University of Colorado marching band were ticketed for underage drinking.
Sheriff's deputies responded to a party early Thursday morning in east Boulder County. They found numerous intoxicated people, and confiscated five beer kegs and a bag of fireworks. The university recently earned the distinction as the nation's top party school in a survey by the Princeton Review. Lt. Phil West said the designation is obviously "well deserved." Ryan Serpan, 20, the party's host, told authorities he was celebrating his birthday. The CU junior would not say where the kegs came from, according to an incident report.
"This was not an official band event in any way, shape or form," CU band secretary Diana Wilson said. "Unfortunately, we cannot control every moment of our students' time."
At least six of the ticketed people are squad leaders, section leaders or drum majors in the band. Those ticketed will not participate in Saturday's performance at the State Fair in Pueblo and must attend alcohol education counseling. They also face action by the CU Office of Judicial Affairs.

Martin case prepares for hearing
Martin's mother added to list of plaintiffs in case

Staci Wolfe remembers how excited her sister, Shannon Martin, was when she got her first microscope for Christmas.
"She had a smile on from ear to ear," Wolfe said. "She was posing for pictures with it in her big, thick glasses."
Martin had always wanted to be a scientist, Wolfe said.

She was set to graduate from the University of Kansas with honors and a degree in biodiversity, ecology and evolutionary biology in May 2001. She had plans to go to the University of Minnesota after graduation where she had received a
research grant.
Martin never graduated from the University. She never made that trip to Minnesota.
On May 13, 2001, Martin was killed in Golfito, Costa Rica, while on a research trip to collect more specimens of a fern she was researching.
Martin had studied abroad in Golffo for nine months the year before and was staying with the same host family. While walking home alone from a bar where she had been with friends, she was stabbed in the neck, back and abdomen. She died less than 50 yards from her host family's house.
Three Golfito locals, Kattia Cruz, 28, Rafael Zumbado Quesa, 48, and Luis Carillo Castro, 38, were arrested last semester and charged with conspiring to kill Martin.

Wolfe said the reason Martin was killed was still a mystery.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 9 in Golfito.
It will determine if there is enough evidence to hold the accused for trial.
Jeanette Stauffer, Martin's mother, will travel to Costa Rica five days before the hearing to talk with witnesses. She said the witnesses were willing to tell her what they knew about the night

The trial was set to begin in May, but was delayed because Stauffer became a "quellerate," an official party to the investigation, meaning she is a plaintiff in

A local coffee shop is receiving recognition for its efforts to keep the environment clean.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment will honor Z's Divine Espresso with a Pollution Prevention Award at a ceremony in Wichita tomorrow. The business earned the award for its efforts in energy and waste reduction, as well as its recycling program.
"The cornerstone of our business is to be environmentally responsible," said Mark Zwahl, owner of Z's Divine Espresso.
The coffee shop, with locations on 23rd Street and East Ninth Street, uses several techniques to minimize waste and pollution. Both locations use

To encourage the reuse of coffee cups, Z's offers a 25-cent discount to customers who bring in their own reusable cups. Z's also has an extensive recycling program.

Black Student Union seeks more members

Kansas staff writer
He might have appeared casual, but Trey Allen has had big things on his mind.
This week the group's summer efforts begin to take shape. For BSU, one of the largest cultural groups on campus, preparing for a new year of activities has been a team effort.
Allen, lounged on a couch at Saturday afternoon's Black Student Union informational session, geared up for a year of meetings, functions and behind the scene work as BSU focuses on one of its core goals: improving retention rates of African-American students.
This week, BSU will hold its first full meeting of the year. The group is one of many cultural groups holding meetings the first weeks of school, a crucial time to get the word out about clubs and to recruit new members. The first few weeks of school offer a unique opportunity to reach out to new students who may be interested in joining a group or organization.
BSU's 10-member executive board has helped to create goals, recruits members and organize fund raising activities. Last week the group organized a T-Mobile table as the first fund raiser for the organization.
"I have to step back and give credit to my executive board." Allen said.

Smokers should keep it in the zone
In an effort to make the University of Kansas a healthier environment, a nosmoking policy was instituted in all campus buildings.
The Department of Student Housing, which once took smoking preferences into account when assigning roommates, restricted smoking in the residence and scholarship halls.
Most buildings on campus have smoke-free entrances that prohibit smoking within 20 feet of the doorways.
While the Office of the Provost establishes the smoke-free entrances and Facilities Operations posts signs, little is done to enforce the policy.
little is done to officials University officials are unable to monitor entrances 24 hours a day and cannot punish all offenders.
cannot punish an offender. It is up to students and faculty members to exercise social responsibility in complying to the policy and reporting violations.
Smokers should respect the policy and be sure to smoke away from entrances, regardless of the temptation of benches and ashtrays located within the 20-foot, no-smoking radius.
Smokers should also respect the rights of non-smokers to not inhale, moving away from designated non smoking areas if asked.

For many buildings, this can be to the dean of a school, such as the School of Journalism in Stauffer-Flint Hall or the School of Engineering in Learned Hall.

In all cases of reporting violations or filing complaints, students should try to have as much information as possible. The name of the offender, the location, the time of the violation and any other specifics are helpful in handling complaints.
Punishments for violations by faculty members can range from an informal discussion to written warnings and maybe even counseling.

There are problems at the University of Kansas.
COMMENTARY
I know this may come as a surprise, especially to freshmen reading this. Since you came for your junior or senior tour of campus, people have painted a bright and rosy picture of our campus on the hill. Judging solely from the KU brochures, I would expect the whole campus to smell like roses, a place where the sun always shines and all your papers are turned in the day before they're due.

This picture is not reality.
The University of Kansas is a great school and Lawrence is a great town, but there are problems here.

Yeah, we have some problems.
Tuition is skyrocketing. State support for higher education is stagnant. There is significant poverty and homelessness in town. Rapes and hate crimes have been reported in our community.

and ten min about your issue The first step is making your issue known. Use your voice, your computer and your pen to express your frustration and unease. If you just vent to your roommate or your cat about what's troubling you, it's doubtful the situation will improve.
Second, organize. Talk to friends, people in your classes, random strangers on Wescoe Beach, and see whether others notice the same problems that you do. Encourage them to express their concerns to those in power. You might find that a group of students is already doing something about your dilemma. Stop by the Center for Campus Life in the Kansas Union to pick up a complete list of all of the registered student groups on campus. If you don't find one there that will work on your issue, it only takes you and two friends to start a new group. Research who has the ability to change what you want

Students significantly contributed to the peace movement against the Vietnam War. Students organized against racial discrimination and segregation in the 1960s. Even if your issue is something smaller than war or racism, there have been successes before you. Recently, students have successfully organized to provide more lighting on campus, fall break, and soon, a new Multicultural Resource Center.

The possibilities are endless for how to go about changing our community. It's important to commit to making changes. Each person should work to improve the world around her or him. No one should sit idly by while others suffer. It is easy to sit in your room or your apartment and say that you can't make a difference. Nothing good has ever been accomplished by sticking to what's easy. Don't just float through your four or five years at the University. Decide now that when you leave the University, it will be a better place because you were a student here.

In fact, what I said was that I wished
teaching assistants didn't have to do such a large share of the teaching in my department, and that I wished we had enough full-time faculty to reduce the teaching assistants' load.

City: Observe Good Neighbor laws

To help returning students fit in with the community around them, the city of Lawrence wants to remind students about the Good Neighbor ordinances, a group of laws that aim to keep neighborhoods clean and orderly.
neighborhoods clean and ordery Bob Yoos, Lawrence solid waste division manager, said students have trouble with these laws because they don't know about them.
about them.
"If they've just moved into town, there are so many things to learn," he said. "Where do I put my trash?" is not the first thing that comes to mind."
Yoos said students should be aware of trash disposal regulations. Trash may be set out for pick-up up to 24 hours before the 7 a.m. collection time. Residents are required to keep other trash off their lawns.
It is illegal to store items such as couches, refrigerators or televisions on front yards or porches. Yoos said most large trash items may be taken with the regular pick-up.
Yoos said residents should call the city to dispose of large appliances because they require a special pick-up. The city is required to take freon out of appliances such as refrigerators or air conditioners, and the city recycles metal from large appliances.
The city also recycles yard waste, such as grass and leaves, by composting. Yoos recommended residents put yard waste in paper bags or trash cans because plastic bags can taint compost. The city gives compost away once a year and uses it for city projects.
and uses Lawrence has no curbside service for other recyclables, but Community Living Opportunities and Jeff's Curbside Recycling both offer the service.
Another Lawrence waste law forbids people from removing any item that was set out for trash pick-up. While the city never condones going through trash, Yoos said, the law is rarely used against people searching for usable items.
"The law is meant to prevent people going through trash for personal identification and to keep trash from being scattered about," he said.

"If they can't control it themselves, we get into a situation where the police assist in dispersing people," he said. "Those people don't want a citation and they need our help to stop that."
Pattrick said another common complaint against students is leaving cars parked too long on the street. Cars on the roadway must be moved every 48 hours. If someone complains about a car parked too long, police will come to mark the vehicle. If the vehicle hasn't moved 48 hours later, officers will mark the car with an orange sticker. The car will be towed 48 hours after receiving a sticker.

Popular clothing retailers battle over trademark

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Abercrombie & Fitch says its chain of Hollister stores owns the number 22.

The lawsuit filed in Columbus
federal court asks a judge to order American Eagle to stop using 22 on its clothing and advertising, to destroy any clothes or ads that use the number and to give Hollister any profits from clothes already sold.
Abercrombie says Hollister owns the number 22 because it has appeared on the chain's clothing since the stores opened three years ago.

Hollister never registered a

"The suit speaks for itself," Abercrombie spokesman Tom Lennox said.
American Eagle is based in Warrendale, Pa., but its majority owner is Columbus-based Schottenstein Stores Corp.
Federal courts have ruled at least three times in four years that Abercrombie can't prevent American Eagle from selling clothes that look like Abercrombie's.
American Eagle called the No. 22 lawsuit frivolous in a letter to Hollister, saying Hollister uses several numbers on its apparel and therefore can't claim a trademark on any of them.
LAWRENCE—In the days before the start of his senior year, Brandon Cox joined hundreds of other University of Kansas students in a bid for something vital to continuing his education: a job.
levels. Students like Cox, an in-state philosophy major paying his own way through college, have been particularly hard-hit. He is taking 20 credit hours per semester and expects his tuition to rise by $800 this year.
Students attending four-year public colleges and universities in 49 of the 50 states will feel the pinch of tuition hikes ranging from 1.7 percent in Montana to 39 percent in Arizona. Only Mississippi kept tuition at 2002-03 levels.
The Associated Press
The crowd filling out applications at a campus job fair last week was just one sign of the times as Kansas and other public universities raise tuition this fall by percentages that often hit the double digits.
Kansas mimics nation in tuition increases
$800 this year.
Barmak Nassirian, associate executive director of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, said the tuition hikes were part of a pattern that began when governments gradually began shifting the burden of funding education to students and their parents in the late 1970s.
With family wealth supporting students at the high end of the economic spectrum, and increased financial aid assisting those at the lower end, Nassirian said students from middle-class backgrounds have borne the weight of cost increases.
The increasing costs are evident in student loans: Sallie Mae. the country's largest provider of guaranteed loans, granted $6.8 billion in student loans during weight of cost increase.
the first half of 2003 — compared to $5.6 billion in loans issued during the same period in 2002.
at a uniform low tuition tion To continue dedicating 20 percent of its tuition revenue to providing assistance to qualified students, the school has eliminated more than 150 staff positions and has closed public access to a national anthropology museum.
Provost David Shulenburger acknowledged that the increases — 17.7 percent this year to $4,100 — induced "sticker shock" for upper classmen who arrived as freshmen expecting to receive an undergraduate degree at a uniformly low tuition rate.
But no faculty jobs have been lost and, in fact, Kansas plans to use the increased revenue to hire more teachers while boosting the salaries of part-time student teaching assistants.
Some schools are trying out innovative ways to make themselves more attractive.
Miami University of Ohio is preparing for the 2004 introduction of a plan that will charge identical tuition to in-state and out-of-state students.
Director of Admissions Mike Mills said the school hopes the plan will bring in more out-of-state students who have been considering expensive private schools. Residential scholarships of up to $10,000 annually will keep the school affordable for instate students, he added.
The five-year plan at the University of Kansas will cap in-state tuition at $5,900 in 2006, aiming to give future students the promise of an education at a relatively low price.
But that won't help Cox.
But that won't happen.
"I think it's pretty unfair," he said as he filled out applications at the job fair. "I came here thinking it would be pretty affordable and pretty flat as far as tuition. But that hasn't been the case."

California recall election causes debate within parties
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — A new poll showing Arnold Schwarzenegger behind in the race to succeed Gov. Gray Davis, if he is recalled, has prompted top Republicans to warn that the party must unite behind the actor or risk keeping the state's top office in Democratic hands.
The Los Angeles Times poll showed Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante with 35 percent support among likely voters, compared to 22 percent for Schwarzenegger. Collectively, three other Republican candidates — including one who dropped out of the race Saturday
had 29 people on the hill.
"The headline here is that Republicans are winning but the vote is split, so pressure by Republicans to coalesce behind a single candidate will be greater than ever," said Allan Hoffenblum, a former Republican strategist. "It's a competitive race, and it needs to be turned into a two-person race between Schwarzenegger and Bustamante."
The recall ballot will have two parts. Voters first will be asked to vote yes or no on whether to recall Davis, and then will choose from a list of 135 candidates to replace him if he is recalled.
The Times poll released Sunday found that Bustamante, the only major Democrat in the field, enjoyed solid support among Democratic voters and split the independent vote
almost evenly with Schwarzenegger. By contrast, Republican votes were fractured among the four major Republican candidates.
can candidates.
Schwarzenegger got 39 percent of Republican votes, with 21 percent going to state Sen. Tom McClintock, 12 percent to businessman Bill Simon and 10 percent to former baseball commissioner Peter Ueberbroth. The poll of 801 likely voters, conducted Aug. 16-21, had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
Simon dropped out of the race Saturday, saying the crowded field would hurt Republican chances.
chances. "Mr. Simon spelled it out clearly yesterday—there are too many candidates in the race," Schwarzenegger spokesman Sean Walsh said. "Clearly, from all parts of the spectrum, there is activity that says Arnold is the guy, and we should be supporting him very vigorously."
Neither of the remaining candidates appeared ready to exit anvtime soon.
A spokesman said Sunday that Ueberberto would remain in the race and that his campaign would launch radio ads this week. McClintock, a conservative favorite, said the poll results and Simon's exit from the field have only strengthened his determination to remain a candidate.
Taking a page from popular culture, McClintock compared himself to the famous underdog racehorse Seabiscuit and his legendary battle with Triple Crown winner War Admiral.
"I understand that War Admiral doesn't want to race, but Seabiscuit does," McClintock said. "This horse is in the race to the finish line."
On the Democratic side, the poll was the latest piece of good news for Bustamante, whose campaign picked up several key endorsements in recent days. Even Davis, who has opposed the lieutenant governor's "no on recall, yes on Bustamante" strategy, is edging closer to adopting the strategy as the best way to save his job.
"There is no question that I have a lot of confidence in Cruz Bustamane — he is the most qualified person on question number two," Davis said on CNN Sunday. "I understand why other Democrats would want a safety valve — it is a perfectly rational position to take."
Davis refused to say whether he would vote for Bustamante on the second part of the ballot, saying he'd announce that decision 10 days before the election.
Bustamante was said to be unfazed by the poll's results.
"He said to me ... we have to work harder," said Bustamante strategist Richie Ross. "We're working 19 hours a day, and he told me to bump it up to 20."
"Cruz is projecting a level of confidence that is reassuring to Democrats," said longtime Democratic strategist Bill Carrick. "It sends a message to the base that says hey, maybe we can pull this off."
Surplus leads governor to place buying freeze on state vehicles

WICHITA — The head of the Kansas Department of Administration said the state's fleet of 8.664 vehicles is too large.

extreme heat can be dangerous and is not recommended by doctors, there are still outdoor options, such as swimming.
The Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center, 727 Kentucky St., is one way that people are choosing to escape from the heat.
"There has been an increase in swimmers," said Lori Madaus, aquatic manager for the facility. "But the number is about normal for this time of year with students coming back
But for portions of this weekend, even Lawrence's public pools couldn't offer relief. The city shut down four local pools, including those in Robinson Center, because cryptosporidium, a parasite spread by human and animal waste, was detected in the water.

Normally, pools will almost always remain open no matter how high temperatures soar.
"We have never shut down due to extreme heat," Madaus
said. "We basically just try to keep everybody hydrated to prevent any problems."
So far this summer, temperatures in Lawrence have eclipsed 100 degrees 14 times, but there have been worse stretches.
According to state weather records, in 2000 there were 20 days that had 100-degree plus temperatures — five of which were in September. In August 1936, there were 16 consecutive 100-degree days, including the hottest ever recorded temperature in Lawrence on Aug. 14 when it hit 114 degrees.

Rundle introduced Rowan, a Celtic group based in Lawrence. Lance Zimmerman, a member of the group, said the wistfulness and soulfulness of the Irish and Scottish melodies drew him to perform in the genre.

Rundle, who was previously an executive organizer for the championships for 12 years, agreed.
The average temperature for this time of year is 87 degrees, which should be seen by Friday as the weather cools off to the low 80s with the forecast of thunderstorms.
The rain should bring some much needed relief to Kansas farmers, whose crops have been decimated by the recent stretch of hot weather. According to the Kansas Department of Agriculture, 98 percent of the state is in some degree of drought.

Marines head back to warships leaving war-weary Liberians
The Associated Press
MONROVIA, Liberia — A 150-strong Marine force withdrew to warships off the Liberian capital's coast on yesterday, ending significant U.S. military deployment on the ground after just 11 days and disappointing many Liberians.
The Marines said American troops would be in better position on the warships to respond to any flare-ups in Liberia's week-old peace accord, meant to end 14 years of conflict that has claimed more than 150,000 lives.
more than 150,000 Liberians, watching U.S. military helicopters whir out of sight in the unannounced departure, spoke fearfully of being deserted.

"We wish they'd stay until peace would come," Slawon said. "Their presence here puts fear in our fighters — it makes them think if they carry on hostilities, they'll be handled by the Americans."

Liberian Defense Minister Daniel Chea also claimed fighting persisted yesterday near the Guinea border. It was impossible to verify the allegation.
But clashes persist in the countryside — sending refugees fleeing this weekend several miles from the airport.
GAZA CITY, Gaza — Israeli helicopters fired missiles at a group of armed men sitting near the Gaza City beach yesterday, killing four Hamas fighters, including a fugitive commander, just hours after Israel's army chief said Hamas militants were targets for "liquidation."
"Iisrael has no choice but act in those areas where the Palestinians are failing to do so," said Gideon Meir, a senior Israeli Foreign Ministry official.
Israel fires missiles at group near Gaza
The attack occurred just 200 yards from the office of Palestinian security chief Mohammed Dahlan.
Israel's army chief said only hours earlier that all members of the Islamic militant group were "potential targets for liquidation." Yesterday's attack came three days after Israel killed Hamas leader Ismail Abu Shanab in a similar strike in retaliation for a Hamas bombing that killed 21 people, including five Americans, on a Jerusalem bus.
Palestinian officials said yesterday's attack would undermine a planned Palestinian security clampdown that began Saturday with moves against arms smugglers, casting fresh doubt on an already shaky U.S.-backed peace plan. That so-called "road map" envisions a Palestinian state by 2005.
The Associated Press
"This aims to sabotage the efforts that began last night," said Saeb Erakat, a senior Palestinian lawmaker. "It's very obvious that the Israeli government is acting as if the Palestinian Authority is something from the past."
One witness, Shadi Wassi, said he was about to enter his house "when suddenly a huge explosion shook the ground under my feet. When I looked back, I saw a big flame burning the trees, then another two huge explosions hit the area."

The event, which concluded with the Lied Center's eighth annual outdoor concert,included multicolored balloons and facepainting for children.

Kickballers celebrate
By Mike Bauer mbauer@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kaw Valley Kickball League held its all-star game, trophy presentation, and season-ending party yesterday. But that's not all the kickball league was about.
The party, held north of Memorial Stadium, lasted from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. Following the festivities, teams consisting of the two best players from each team played the league's final game of the season.
During the party, trophies were presented to the Wattlenck and Rudy's Pizzeria teams, which placed first and second, respectively.

Natalie Winn, Lawrence senior and the two-year-old league's founder, said all the businesses that participated were locally owned, with the exception of Einstein's Bagels.
Scott Edwards, employee at Rudy's Pizzeria, worked with Winn to coordinate the teams, as well as get equipment, organize the schedule, and distribute and collect the equipment on game days.
Winn said the league had eight teams last year, then expanded to 20 teams this

Athletics director hires UConn aide
By John Domoney jdomoney@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When Jim Marchiony was hired as part of new athletics director Lew Perkins' vision for the Kansas Athletic Department, Marchiony knew tricks and gimmicks would not be a part of the plan.
"You can't do it with smoke and mirrors," Marchiony said. "You've got to have good promotional ideas, a lot of hard work, and you have to win. Part of it is getting people to know our student athletes; to try and create an attachment between the general public and the great kids we have here competing."
Marchiony was hired July 22 to be the associate athletics director of external affairs. He should be familiar with promoting the student athletes after being involved in college athletics departments since graduating from St. Bonaventure in 1976.
After spending 17 1/2 years working for the NCAA, including the last five as
the media coordinator for the Division One men's basketball tournament, Marchiony joined Perkins at the University of Connecticut in April 2002.
versity of Connecticut in spring.
When in came time to make a decision on whether or not to follow Perkins to Kansas, Marchiony knew it involved leaving behind many relatives, specifically his wife's family on the East Coast.
"It was difficult to leave all of that, including our family," Marchiony said of his departure from Storrs, Conn. "But this area is our second home. We lived here for 14 years when the NCAA was here. I literally wouldn't have moved anywhere else in the country at this time."
Marchiony and his wife, Mary Beth bought a house in Leawood, but Marchiony will assume a large role in Lawrence in his office on the second floor of the Wagnon Student Athletes Center.
Along with dealing with marketing, sports information and ticket sales. Marchiony has also been charged with the duty of creating revenue, which is something he enters with mixed emotions.
he enters the room with a
"Would I like it if revenue wasn't an
issue?" Marchiony said. "Sure. But it is. It makes you work harder and you accept it and move on."
Several things Marchiony will not accept are poor attendance at football and women's basketball games. At UConn, Marchiony was involved with a quickly developing football program and a women's basketball program that plays in front of packed arenas at home on a regular basis.
While Marchiony said he is looking for increased attendance at football and women's basketball games along with the olympic sports, he was quick to say he does not believe anything can be taken for granted concerning Kansas' most celebrated team.
"You can't ignore men's basketball." Marchiony said. "KU is very fortunate in that it has one of the premiere men's basketball programs in the country. But you can't just assume that it's going to happen year after year."

Galligan comes to the University of Kansas from the University of Texas-Pan American, where she was an assistant coach for two years.
"I'm really delighted to have coach Galligan join our coaching staff," Washington said. "She was a standout player at the University of Nebraska, a real hard worker on the floor, and a strong contributor for their program."
A Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native, Galligan excelled for the Cornhuskers. She ranked in the top-three in Nebraska in three-pointers and is 17th on the all-time Nebraska scoring list. The guard helped lead the team to the NCAA Tournament her senior year, earning honorable mention All-Big 8 honors in the 1995-1996 season.

Galligan replaces Pam DeCosta, who accepted a head coaching position at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla.
Ledet also will join Washington's staff this year. While at Kansas, she helped the Jayhawks to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. She was a contributor in Kansas' 1995-1996 campaign, when the team won the Big 8 Conference title and advanced to the Sweet 16.

"It's always great to have some of your past players want to come back and want to be involved." Washington said. "We are fortunate to have had an opening that made it possible for Keshana to come back to Kansas. She's been coaching at the high school and junior college level and was a very successful player for us here at Kansas."
Ledet will assist in Kansas' academic support and conditioning programs.

Whittemore talent overshadowed by losing record
This column was written with a little hesitation.
The University Daily Kansan already ran a feature on Bill Whittemore in the Back to School issue, and virtually every story on the Kansas football team this year will at least mention the senior quarterback.
Yeah, there was some reservation about over-hyping the Jayhawk captain, but if the local press doesn't tout Whittemore a little, no one else will. ESPN's Trev Alberts recently previewed the alleged top signal callers in the Big 12 Conference with no mention of Whittemore.
All Whittemore did last year was finish fourth in the Big 12 in total offense, despite playing only seven full games, behind the conference's worst offensive line. His 246 yards a game last season were nearly 30 more a contest than Kansas State's Heisman Trophy candidate, Ell Roberson.
Of course the reason the football world, outside the heartland, is ignorant to Whittemore lies in the fact that despite his best efforts, he could only lead the Jayhawks to two victories last season.
will not change this season.
So far in August practice he's displayed an even sharper passing arm than last season, when he showed he was also a very capable runner. He's a Peyton Manning and Steve Young hybrid with a quiet, cool personality, a confident smile and a slow Tennessee drawl, that says "I'm a winner" without actually uttering the words.
without actually uttering the words. His track record backs it up. He led Brentwood High School to district titles in Tennessee and was named the state's Mr. Football as a senior. At Fort Scott Community College, he was the Jayhawk Conference most valuable player.

Sure, it's sort of a joke. Quarterbacks of 2-10 teams don't win the Heisman, except in the hearts of their diehard fans, no matter how good they might be. Whittemore will never win the Heisman, but maybe, just maybe, he can earn some of the national recognition he deserves. The Jay-
Yes, Whittemore has risen to the top of every level of football he's played. That's one reason that slowly, but surely he's earning the nickname "Billy Heisman," at least on the KU campus.
The first four games of the season are winnable for this Jaihawk squad, and if Kansas enters the September 27 matchup with Missouri 4-0, a least a few people outside the state might take notice. The Tigers will likely be ranked in the top 25 when they come to Lawrence and boast Brad Smith, a high caliber quarterback in his own right, adding a little spice to the annual Border War game.
annual Border war game. Of course, Kansas might not start 4-0. Even if they do, Whittimore will probably remain one of the hidden gems of college football. Years from now he'll likely only be remembered by the most loyal Kansas fans. His legacy could end up being that of the possibly the best college quarterback never to lead his team to a winning season.
to a winning season.
Butthen you watch him for a while. You see the respect he earns from his teammates, the confidence his coaches have in him, the pure talent he carries onto the field. You see all that and you think, "maybe this team could win a few games. Maybe they could even go to a bowl."
Maybe they could ever give Maybe they will, maybe they won't. It's too early to tell. This team has too many unknown variables to accurately predict what's in store. The defense will rely on highly touted, but untested, newcomers. The receiving corps should be improved, but anything would be an improvement over the seemingly infinite number of dropped passes last season.

Several football teams in the Big 12 Conference face similar circumstances this year. They have problems that could lead to a long season of second-guessing by disgruntled fans. But if these problems are fixed, they could surpass expectations, and some teams could even make a national title bid.
During its season-opening 42-28 win over California Saturday, Kansas State showed a number of holes in its defense. K-State's cornerbacks couldn't cover, and its defensive line got no pressure on the quarterback.

problems solved.
Texas and Oklahoma both have the same problem — they cannot beat one of the Big 12 South teams. Oklahoma can't beat Oklahoma State, and Texas can't beat Oklahoma. But look for at least one of those trends to fall this season.
Oklahoma State must find a defense to compliment its explosive offense, featuring wide receiver Rashaun Woods.
tiring wince field. The cornerbacks struggled last year, and the Cowboys must replace All-Big 12 defensive tackle Kevin Williams. If the Cowboys shore those problems up, they could be a dark horse candidate in the Big 12 South.
Texas A&M must be more consistent. Last year's squad beat then-top-ranked Oklahoma but lost to an inferior Missouri team at home the next week. New coach Dennis Franchione was a great hire for the Aggies — Franchione led a probation-saddled Alabama squad to a 10-3 record last year.
Colorado must replace four starters on the offensive line. The Buffaloes have dropped at least one of their first three games the past four years.
The Bufs must tackle a daunting early schedule that includes Colorado State, UCLA, and Washington State at home before a road game at Florida State.
Nebraska must find an offensive identity. Offensive coordinator Barney Cotton says the Huskers will pound the ball, but coach Frank Solich insists they will pass more in a balanced attack.
Watching quarterback Jammal Lord pass is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard, so if the 'Huskers want to get back on track, Cotton better win the debate.
The Big 12 is one of the top conferences in the nation, with great depth from top to bottom. As many as nine teams could get bowl bids, but all must deal with pressing needs to meet their potential.

Twins win game, series ends in tie
Santana, 8-3, has become the Twins' ace with a 1.25 ERA over five starts in August, tying his season high for strikeouts. He gave up six hits and two walks in six innings, but allowed only one run on Desi Relford's second-inning homer.
Matthew LeCroy had three RBI singles for the Twins, each scoring Shannon Stewart.

Minnesota moved within 1 1/2 games of first-place Chicago in the AL Central, while Kansas City stayed a game back. The White Sox lost 5-0 to Texas.
Appier was forced to leave after two innings because of tightness in his right elbow and the score tied 1-all.
MINNEAPOLIS — Johan Santana struck out 10 batters for the second straight game, and the Minnesota Twins broke loose after an injury to Kevin Appier on Sunday for an 8-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals, salvaging a split of their four-game series.
But unlike Saturday, when D.J. Carrasco and Mike MacDougal shut out the Twins for five innings while the Royals rallied to win, Minnesota jumped on Graeme Lloyd (0-2) for three runs in the third.

After Relaford homered with one out in the second — snapping a 4-for-23 slump — Angel Berroa tripled. But Santana struck out Brent Mayne and Aaron Gueli to end the inning.

MU football may see 'good things'
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Justin Gage is gone, but University of Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel still sees good things from his receivers.
The Tigers already know they have a potential Heisman Trophy candidate in quarterback Brad Smith. But Pinkel feels the trio of Darius Outlaw, Thomson Omboga and Sean Coffey has potential to be among the best in the Big 12.
"We've got some talent at the receiver job," Omboga said, "but we all have different egos and different goals. When one's having a bad day it seems to reflect on everybody else."

K-State's defense slacks in'Cats defeat of California
By Kevin Flaherty

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder was unhappy with his defense's effort in a 42-28 win against California Saturday night.
On a night when the Wildcats allowed Cal to rack up 440 yards and four touchdowns, Snyder had a gruff response towards the 'Cats defensive ineffectiveness.

Kansas State quarterback Ell Roberson threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 145 yards and another touchdown.
One of the major questions this year was about Roberson's throwing ability — his previous high for passing touchdowns in a game was one. Roberson hit receivers downfield all night long, including a 57-yard strike to James Terry, who lost his defender on a stop-go route. That touchdown put Kansas State up 27-7. Terry had 4 catches for 116 yards.
Mighty-mite running back Darren Sproles ran for a career high 175 yards, including a 53-yard burst from scrimmage on Kansas State's first offensive play that set up the game's first touchdown, a six yard run from Sproles off a Roberson option pitch.

Nebraska to rely on active passing game after summer
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nobody will confuse University of Nebraska coach Frank Solich for Stephen Hawking when it comes to mathematics, but the Nebraska football coach does know this much.
"If you're [completing] 46 percent," Solich muses, "do you want to throw the ball 40 times a game?"
Thus has been the problem fusing the public's fantastical
dreams of an air-it-out Cornhusker offense with the reality of the tools with which it is working.
the tools with which he started quarterback Jammal Lord has completed just 47.8 percent of his career passes, and his backup has all of 25 attempts under his belt in only two seasons.

Quarterbacks, running backs and receivers all met up with linebackers and secondary players for basically what comes down to backyard football with scripted plays, better athletes and better trash talking. The sessions were supposed to last for an hour each time.

Men's golf depends on experience
By Ryan Colaiani
rcolaiani@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Despite not qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the third consecutive year last season, the men's golf team is optimistic about the upcoming season, looking to return to the national spotlight.
"Our goal is to make it back into the Top 25 nationally, and I think we have a strong enough team to do it," coach Ross Randall said.
The team will rely on younger players this year, with seven sophomores on the roster.
"The young guys gained a lot of experience last season," Randall said, entering his 25th season as coach of the Jayhawks.
"We have such a good team," junior Andrew Price said. "If we put it all together we should easily
be a top 19 team The team's season will officially begin in the second week of September, when the team travels to East Tennessee State. The tournament has one of the best fields of the fall season, with the most teams from major conferences participating.
be a top 15 team."
ences participating.
"I think we will do well at the tournament, but it will be interesting to see who will go to that tournament," Price said.
The Jayhawks schedule is similar to previous years with the team traveling throughout the country.
Randall is uncertain who his starters will be at this point but wants to clear that up this week as the team will play seven consecutive days of golf.
"It's very important for us to get off to a strong start, if we play well it will help us in the spring," senior Tyler Hall said.
All but one player are returning from last year. Unfortunately, that one player was a two-time All-American, and two-time All-Big 12 player, Chris Marshall. Marshall finished with a career average of 73.
"Obviously it is a huge loss, but I think since we only lost one senior it will give the younger guys a chance to move up and step up," Randall said.
Randall will look to Hall, Price and junior Kevin Ward to fill Marshall's shoes.
shair's shoes. "It's tough losing Chris,but our younger guys broke out and had great summers." Hall said. "They will add serious depth."
Ward participated in the U.S. Amateur Tournament last week, the top amateur tournament in the country and finished three strokes back from qualifying for the match play section of the tournament.
Price finished in the top four of the Illinois State Amateur Tournament as well as top five in the Illinois State Open.
Randall is uncertain how the conference will shape up this year.
Oklahoma State is likely to have a strong team as one of their incoming freshman, Casey Whittenberg, competed in the finals of the U.S. Amateur yesterday.
The Jayhawks have brought in three freshmen this season. Headlining the list is Gary Woodland.
Woodland is expected to make an immediate impact on the team and is likely the only freshman who will not be a redshirt.
"Gary is an exceptional athlete with unbelievable potential," Randall said.

U.S. basketball wary of Argentina
The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A critical look at the U.S. Olympic qualifying team reveals the following statistics: Jason Kidd is averaging just 2.8 points, the team is shooting only 64 percent from the foul line and commits 16.5 turnovers per game.
Why the harsh analysis?
Because the four teams the United States will face in the second round of the Tournament of the Americas are doing exactly the same thing, picking out every tiny flaw.
The level of competition will rise in the upcoming week, along with the level of anticipation for the first game between the Americans and Argentina since last summer's World Championships when the U.S.team lost 87-80.
"They've got a great coach, they've been in these situations before and they know how to get ready for the final round." U.S. assistant coach Gregg Popovich said. "By the time that comes, they're going to be as good or better as they were last summer."
Argentina played Puerto Rico last night. The team has defeated Uruguay and Canada after losing its opener to Mexico.
summer. Coach Larry Brown gave the U.S. team the day off yesterday, while they waited to learn what the schedule will be for the second round.
The U.S. team will face Argentina, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico over four days beginning today, but local organizers have yet to determine the order.
The most important games will be next weekend, with three berths in the Athens Olympics at stake. Two teams will wrap up berths in the semifinals Saturday, and a third will qualify in the bronze medal game Sundav.
bronze medal game Sunday night could bring a second meeting of Argentina and the United States.
Popovich, who coaches Argentina's Manu Ginobili in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, warned the newcomers to the U.S. team that they should expect a nail-biter in this tournament, backing his argument up with references to the semifinals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics when the Americans survived a last-second miss by Lithuania to advance to the gold medal game.
to the good measure he knows. "He really knows (Argentina) and he's brought it up two or three times," U.S. forward Elton Brand said. "We're going to need to run our sets, so let's get away from all the highlight stuff and throwing bad passes because they're a good team and it won't be like that."
team and it will win. No one has scored 20 points in a game yet for the Americans, who are being led offensively by Tracy McGrady (14.5 ppg), Vince Carter (14.0), Allen Iverson (12.0) and
Mike Bibby has been their best 3-point shooter off the bench, and the individual field goal percentages — Carter's .750, Brand's .737, Jermaine O'Neal's .696., McGrady's .657, Duncan's .625, Iverson's .621, Bibby's .611 and Ray Allen's .609—have been outstanding.
standing. McGrady, Carter, Iverson and Bibby are all shooting above 50 percent from the 3-point line, while holding opponents' field goal percentage below 35 percent.
"We're very pleased that they've taken on a defensive personality and realize that making stops and rebounding are going to be real important to our success," Popovich said. "They're really sharing the ball, turning from an All-Star team into a basketball team, and that's been (Brown's) emphasis — turning them into a team that realizes on the right and on the left is another guy who's as good or better."

Seattle QB leads team past Chiefs
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Matt Hasselbeck threw more touchdown passes, but it was Trent Dilfer's night all the way.
Dilfer played for the first time since the midpoint of last season, completing 12 of 14 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown as the Seattle Seahawks beat the Kansas City Chiefs 42-31 in a preseason game Saturday night.

Kansas City's Todd Collins was 12-of-18 passes for 144 yards and two TDs, both in the second quarter. He had an 11-yard scoring pass to Marc Boeriger and a 7-yarder to Jason Dunn, a play that was awarded after a replay.
Trent Green played only two series but was 6-for-9 for 62 yards and a touchdown. His 14-yard TD pass to Tony Gonzales put the Chiefs up 7-3 after Seattle opened the scoring on a 32-yard field goal by rookie Josh Brown.

Dilfer also missed the second half of last season with a torn Achilles' tendon. And he just returned to training camp workouts last week after straining his right oblique muscle on the third day of workouts.

Hasselbeck played well, too.
He was 17-of-23 for 198 yards for two TDs and scrambled four times for 38 yards. He played through the first series of the second half, then turned the offense over to Difler.
Hasselbeck threw a 5-yard TD pass to Heath Evans for a 10-7 lead early in the second period and directed the opening drive of the second half, producing a 3-yard scoring pass to Darrell Jackson to tie it at 21.

NEW YORK — Jets quarterback Chad Pennington is expected to be out 12 weeks with a broken and dislocated left wrist.

KJHK likely to continue under new management of Kansas, Burge Unions

And the beat goes on
The University of Kansas radio station, KJHK, has changed hands.
Originally, the station was run by the School of Journalism, but now its Federal Communications Commission license will be managed by the Kansas and Burge Unions.
and Burge Unions. The station's state of limbo began last year when James Gentry, dean of journalism, decided the school could no longer support the station as an academic mission, said David Mucci, director of the Unions.
It was then Gary Hawke, general manager of KJHK, who stepped up to find someone on campus who would take over the station.
He decided to approach the Unions about it, but his first thought was that a move might not allow the station to be student-run.
To save the station's student leader
It wasn't long after Gentry began searching for a new home for the station that the Unions expressed an interest. Mucci knew if no one claimed the station soon, the program could be eliminated.
ship, Hawke told the Unions that they could manage the station under the condition that it remain student-run.
soon, the program could be eliminated. "We had a desire for it to still be a student radio station," he said.
Hawke said that right away the Unions considered the idea. Because the Unions are focused on the students, Mucci was on the same page as Hawke.
Mucci said KJHK stressed that if the Unions were to manage KJHK,they would have to meet certain guidelines.

Those guidelines include serving the University audience, serving academic programs such as student news broadcasts and maintaining the station through fees and sponsors.
Light rides and sports. Hawke said the Unions complied. But he said it would have been easy for them to have said no.
I learn to have said no. "They didn't have to put anymore on their plate," he said. "Lots of people could have taken the easy way out."
Instead, this past week Mucci and

Hawke met with Andy Knopp, student body president, to talk about the situation.
"Andy was very supportive," Mucci said.
Even though the proposal has gone as far as Chancellor Robert Hemenway's desk, it still isn't 100 percent finalized.
it still is 100 percent. It must first pass through the Memorial Corporation Board, the legal authority of the Unions that is made up of 11 students and 11 non-students. But Mucci doesn't think there will be any problem.
"I would be very surprised if they didn't support it," he said.

said. "And it's not me, it's the students."
Chris Shively, KJHK program director, said he would have been worried if the station had not stayed student-run.
The station had not stayed a while. "There's no telling what would have happened," he said. "It provides a lot of opportunity for expanding our audience."
KJHK remains under Hawke's eye until January, when the proposal will be presented to the Memorial Corporation Board. Hawke and Mucci expect the approval process to go smoothly.
Shively doesn't think the shift will cause problems.

Mucci said the behind-the-scenes work Hawke did for the station had kept KIHK alive, but Hawke was quick to credit Mucci and other staff members of the Unions as the reason KJHK survived. Hawke said the staff of the Unions had gone out of its way to save the station for the University.
"Hopefully listeners won't even notice a change." Shively said.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge could be underwater and New York City's skyscrapers might barely poke out of the ocean.
It sounds far-fetched but a University of Kansas research team is trying to determine if these watery scenarios could become reality.
Members of the Polar Radar for Ice Sheet Measurements team went to Greenland this summer to test equipment they had either built or modified at the University. They gathered data that would help geologists map the ice sheets.
would help geologist PRISM is researching and mapping the ice sheets to try to determine if its base is composed of rock, water or ice.
Team member Hans Harmon, Lawrence graduate student, said knowing the composition of the ice sheet base helped scientists determine how quickly the ice was coming off the sheet. If the base is water, it will move faster than if the base is rock or ice.
Members are also trying to determine the thickness of the ice sheets and learn more about its internal layers. This will help researchers understand the history of the ice sheets, in particular, whether they are melting faster now than they were in the past.
ing faster now that they are ice sheets are formed when snow falls. They're destroyed when a glacier pushes them into the ocean. As long as ice sheets form as quickly as they are destroyed, there won't be a problem. When there's an imbalance — if it's too hot, or if there's too much pressure — then the glaciers will push ice sheets into the ocean causing water levels to rise anywhere from 7 to 70 meters. This could cover coastal cities such as San Francisco or New York and destroy flood plains by covering them with salt water.
The team is researching to determine at what rate the ice sheets are being destroyed and created, though tangible results may be some way off. The team is at least a decade away from knowing how fast things are happening and what is happening, said David Braaten, team member and associate professor of atmospheric science.

Main bust disrupts Daisy Hill services

When Lewis Hall resident Derek Klaus went to take a 7 a.m. shower yesterday, he had a bit of a rude awakening no water pressure.
no water pressure.
"I had to brush my teeth with a bottle of water," the Wichita sophomore said.
A water main broke behind Nunemaker Hall about 4:30 a.m., leaving Daisy Hill residents without water and some without air conditioning.
Nona Golledge, assistant director of housing and dining, said many adjustments were made to get through breakfast and lunch hours, such as changing cooking methods and the menu.
She said the Coca-Cola Company brought bottles of water for students and staff in the morning. In addition, water was brought in from the Oliver Dining Center for cooking purposes.
"We went into challenge mode and figured out what had to be done to feed the students with minimal inconvenience," Golledge said.
Diana Robertson, associate director of the Department of Student Housing, said notices were posted about 5:30 a.m., informing residents of the situation. The Department of Student Housing wanted to fix the problem by midafternoon, but Klaus said his water was back about 10:30 a.m. Lawrence utility workers replaced about 20 feet of water pipe to fix the problem.
Water was back and running by 11 a.m. at Mrs. E's.
"We're thankful that it was a relatively quick repair," Robertson said.
The pipe break also had a significant effect on Mrs. E's as food was limited because of the lack of water. For example, the majority of beverages were unavailable because the drink stations are operated by water lines.
a. m. at Mrs. E.'s Several air-conditioning units temporarily shut down because there wasn't enough water to condense, making for some sticky and sweaty situations, including at the cafeteria.
But this wasn't the first water main break on campus this year.
On Jan. 27, a water main break at the corner of Tennessee and 14th streets caused nearby buildings to be without water for a large part of the day. The break, which happened a little after 11 a.m., also sent a flood of mud and water into the streets. Crews cut power temporarily to those buildings, while the Lawrence utility department fixed the pipe well into the night.

Campus More professors surprised by Kemper Awards for teaching
Four more professors were given cash awards on Friday, as Chancellor Robert Hemenway continued to give out $5,000 "Surprise Patrol" awards to professors.
Friday's recipients of the Kemper Awards were Philip Baringer, professor in physics and astronomy; Maggie Childs, professor in East Asian languages and cultures; Rodolfo Torres professor mathematics; and Stephen Fawcett, senior scientist and professor of human development and family life.
The W.T. Kemper Fellowships fund the awards, which recognize teachers at the University of Kansas for teaching excellence and are determined by a seven-member selection committee. This is the eighth year of a 10-year program. In all, 20 professors will be honored. Ten more professors will be recognized this week.

Board expects official figures of fall enrollment to be steady
TOPEKA — Despite recent increases in tuition and fees, university officials in Kansas are expecting steady numbers of students to return to campus for the fall 2003 semester.
State
Most campuses, aware that the cost of going to college is making a sizable
jump, began informing students early on about financial aid and other means for paying for an education.
The Board of Regents will release official enrollment figures for the six state universities following the 20th day of classes in mid-September.
Dick Carter, spokesman for the regents, said several factors could be at play in any enrollment changes this year.
"it's far too early to analyze what the cause may be," Carter said.
The regents approved tuition increases this summer for the new school year ranging from 9.8 percent at Fort Hays State to 21.1 percent at the University of Kansas. The increases were aimed at raising addition revenue to support operations and enhance academic programs.
Enrollment at the six regents universities increased 3.2 percent last fall, despite tuition increases ranging from 6.4 percent at Fort Hays State to 25 percent at Kansas and Kansas State University.
Larry Moeder, director of student financial aid and admissions at Kansas State, said he expected little change in the number of students receiving assistance this year, holding close to the 70 percent of previous years. The school awards about $120 million in aid annually.
The KU men's lacrosse club team practices at Shenk Fields, 23rd and Iowa streets. Yesterday's practice is build to the club's first game of the season at Missouri, early in September.
"Part of the problem with student aid applicants is many don't apply until later," he said. "It's just hard to track."
I am not sure what I see. It looks like a field with people playing basketball or some kind of sport. The background is mostly empty, and the foreground shows a tire on the ground.
The campus had 21,663 students last fall and Pat Bosco, Kansas State's dean of student life, said tight student housing would indicate another enrollment increase.

High temps, lack of rain activates drought warning
Drought conditions in Kansas counties stretch water supply
By Alex Hoffman
ahoffman@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
While some regions in Kansas are struggling to conserve water, sprinklers at the University of Kansas will continue to run — for now.
A string of 100-degree temperatures and a lack of rainfall have led to severe water shortages in parts of the state. Although 11
counties in northeast Kansas have declared water emergencies. Douglas County is not one of them.
Lieutenant Governor John Moore announced Friday that Douglas County was one of 52 counties in Kansas under a drought warning, but not an emergency. Emergency conditions lead to restrictions in water supplies, but a drought warning only indicates water shortages exist in the county.
Chris Stewart, assistant director of utilities for the city of Lawrence, said the city set a record Saturday by using 28.2
million gallons of raw water taken from the Kansas River and Clinton Reservoir. It also set a record Sunday for 24.4 million gallons of finished water, which is water used for consumption.
The average raw water production in the last seven days, when temperatures repeatedly topped the 100-degree mark, was 26.7 million gallons, Stewart said. Despite heavy water usage, Lawrence has not had to cut back on water production yet.
"We're running at 85 to 90 percent of our capacity," Stewart said. "We're still running in a precautionary mode."

cautionary house. The University consumed 18.5 million gallons last month alone, said Steve Green, associate director of management information
for the department of facilities operations.
In the summer of 2000, when similar drought conditions struck Lawrence, demand stretched the capabilities of water plants to capacity. Stewart said the demand so far was manageable, but sustained high production could cause the city to consider conservation if drought conditions continue.
By comparison, the city of Olathe has not been able to avoid cutting back water supplies. Olathe issued a water emergency order this weekend that restricted the use of water
outdoors. The order was modified to a water warning yesterday, when demand decreased by eight million gallons from Friday to Sunday. Don Seifert, deputy director of municipal services for the city of Olathe, said residents had heeded the warnings.
"The response has been fantastic," Seifert said. "We hope they respond to the modified warning as they did before."
Although no restrictions have been put into effect in Lawrence, Stewart advised using water wisely and in moderation.

Computers seized in fake ID inquiry

Atruck passes by the site for a new road that will connect US 59 and Kansas Highway 10. The proposed site, Baker wetlands, is a plot of land held sacred by Native Americans.
Four 18-year-old University of Kansas freshmen are at the center of an investigation by the Lawrence Police Department for possible production of fake IDs.
Lawrence police seized two computers, a printer, scanner and several miscellaneous documents and IDs that may be connected to the manufacture and sale of false identification documents from a room in Naismith Hall early Thursday morning. The four students under investigation are residents of Naismith.
Andrew Rider, East Alton, Ill., sophomore and Naismith resident, said if the suspects were making fake IDs, they should be disciplined.
the suspects may have been making fake IDs in Naismith. Olds said he received the information about the potential fake IDs from an anonymous source.
"If there is someone doing it, they should be found out and caught," Rider said.
Police received information just before 9:30 p.m. on Aug.18 from Naismith property manager Jason Olds indicating that
Though charges have not been filed and no arrests have been made, Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department said the seized items were consistent with those often used to manufacture false identification cards. Patrick said the size and scope of any potential fake ID operation was not known.
Olds said the four suspects have not been removed from Naismith because charges have not yet been filed and arrests have not been made.
Patrick said the police were investigating and would submit information to the district attorney once the investigation was complete.

Great blue heron and other native Kansas birds may have to find new "hot spots" if the new highway is built through the Haskell-Baker Wetlands.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing the state's plan to build a new 4-lane highway south of Lawrence. The Kansas Department of Transportation expects a decision this month.
But the state doesn't have the money to build, and wetland protection groups are not satisfied with the state's proposal.
The South Lawrence Trafficway would connect U.S. Highway 59 to Kansas Highway 10 south of Haskell Indian Nations University. The road would slice commuter travel time and lessen traffic in the city of Lawrence. But the road would cut through part of the 573 acres of Haskell-Baker Wetlands.

"We are still hoping the state will come to their senses and see that an alternative is available," he said.
In the 1970s, the state had a plan to build a road south of Wakarusa River. In the 1980s, the plan changed, proposing a highway that would run through the wetlands.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Apparently, not everyone's answer is "no."
Smart thinking prevents hazings
If all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?
Last week, The University Daily Kansan reported a possible hazing incident in which a 19-year-old student landed on his head during a fraternity pledge ritual.
pledge ritual.
In a situation like this, lots of words come to mind, namely immature, dangerous (or even deadly?), ridiculously stupid, and what the hell were they thinking?
thinking?
It might be easy to point fingers at the fraternity, but this isn't strictly a greek thing. Groups ranging from athletic teams to scholarship halls have been known to "initiate" their new members. Most of it's harmless. Serenading with Whitney Houston songs, throwing a couple water balloons, and a 6 a.m. mile run here and there can all be good, safe fun.
However, binge drinking, streaking extreme sleep deprivation, throwing your friend on his head or other such practices are not healthy ways of saying "welcome" to new members. Besides being rude and unsafe, these practices are considered hazing and as such they are illegal.
The University of Kansas Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities defines hazing as any action that inflicts "excessive fatigue, mental or physical discomfort" or "extreme embarrassment or ridicule" on individuals whether they are "willing" or not. Under this definition, many forms of "initiation" are considered student misconduct and are not to be tolerated by the University.
Still, you shouldn't need an administrator to keep you from endangering the people around you.
Why should alcohol consumption or blind obedience ever be a factor in proving loyalty to a group? A new member's merit should be based on their character, not their willingness to do what they're told and go through rituals of dubious importance.
The classic excuse for hazing — "Well, I went through it when I was their age." just doesn't cut it. Tradition or not, some practices are simply more of a risk than they're worth.
Yes, surely, most of the time the stupid things are going to go off without a hitch, but sometimes they don't. Sometimes a student will end up hurt, unconscious, and in the hospital or worse. That's where the real danger is.
Hazing is a two-way street, and a little common sense can go a long way. Veteran group members need to be conscious of the potentially dangerous situations to which they subject new members. And likewise, new students on campus, think as you join new groups.
If the people around you are knowingly subjecting you to embarrassment and harm, is it really the right place for you?
The bottom line? Use your head, don't fall on it.

Studies abroad conjure up familiar feelings of race issues

Editor's note: Plummer is on a study abroad program in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Sometimes I feel like I've been studying abroad my whole life. Although I'm in Costa Rica for the fall, the feelings of being an outsider began before this semester.
I've listened to study abroad participant's struggles with being singled out in their classes as a representative of America. They are dealing with stereotypes and feeling out place. Their experiences aren't unique or confined to the life of world-traveler. They actually sound similar to my feelings of being a minority student at a predominately white university.

In the classroom here, when a student gives his opinions on the United States, what seems to him to be an ideological debate can actually feel like it's directed at me, the resident American.
It's the same feeling I get when I sit in a class at the University of Kansas and race issues arise. While some

lems. we're talking about them.
In both situations I may feel pressure to speak up, especially when people make generalizations that just aren't true. Inherent in both situations is the trap of being the representative, the voice of your race or country.
Oddly enough, being part of a large group can give you a greater sense of individuality. When you're part of the racial majority in America or a citizen of your host nation, you have the luxury of only representing yourself. When you're part of smaller group, you may lose that sense of only existing as an individual. Everything you do is an example of or an exception to your ethnicity or your nationality.
I've found that some study abroad students find it hard to accept this new group identity, "American." While
they may have had the choice to follow the great American ideal of individualism in the States. I've always been designated to a group status.
Some people have never had to deal with being foreign, or different. Studying abroad is the ultimate exercise in discomfort. Everyday, you are trying to fit in But this can be a learning experience.
Studying abroad presents an opportunity to be "the other" in a society. You adjust to learning everything from a different worldview. I didn't realize how much of what I learned was from the viewpoint of America as the center of the world until I learned history in a different country.
In the same way I didn't realize how biased and euro-centric my childhood history lessons were until I started learning other types of history.
ing other types of matter. This allows an opportunity to see yourself through different eyes. You get to see what other people think of your race or your nationality. You can also see the misconceptions held about your group more clearly.
While some students' experiences with "otherness" may end at the semester, mine will continue. But even through the discomfort, people gain a greater perspective on the world and themselves by feeling like "the other."

Multiple-party system good for a progressive democratic election
The Green Party is trying to attain official status in the state of Kansas and is moving closer toward its goal each day. If it succeeds, it will have surpassed a significant hurdle in the road to a more progressive, multiple-party system in the United States.
Ameena Shah
The United States runs on a primarily two-party system mostly controlled by Republicans and Democrats. But in recent years, smaller parties such as the Green Party have begun to impact the political system. Unfortunately, the Green Party and other "fringe" parties have not received an equal opportunity in the current political system.
current political system. The state of Kansas — and the majority of other states — does not recognize the Green Party as an official political party in elections. In the last presidential debate, Ralph Nader, 2000 presidential candidate for the Green Party of the United States, could not participate and make his views heard because of the state's deep-seated traditional and conservative stance.
COMMENTARY
Sara Zafar opinion@kansan.com
More people in Kansas than are immediately apparent hold values that mirror the ideals of the Green Party. But these people have no candidates to represent their views in the political arena. It usually happens that they end up voting for the Democratic candidate, or, if they are lucky, a progressive candidate who has faced the challenge of defying the traditional two-party system.
More recently, a wave of progressive minded citizens boycotted the polls
because they believed that not voting was better than voting for the lesser of two evils. If there is no Green candidate on the ballot, why should a voter support someone whose ideals are not representative of the voter's beliefs?
This is unacceptable. We all know that every vote counts, and the more people who vote, the more representative the elections will be. While a revision of the electoral system is necessary in light of the 2000 presidential election fiasco and the recent California gubernatorial recall, we still must do our part and vote for our leaders. The more candidates, the more likely discouraged voters will come forward and participate in our democratic society.
Even if you don't agree with the ideals of the Greens, a multiple-party system is a positive move for the future of politics in the United States. If you love this country as much as I do, you want to see it at its best, representing all citizens.

U.S. presence in Iraq stirs debate
By Paul Kramer
pkramer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In the 118 days since President George W. Bush declared the end to combat in Iraq, 129 American soldiers have lost their lives. More than one death per day since the May 1 ceasefire has some students concerned.
Chadd Elsen, Albert senior, said he thought the war was over and didn't understand why our presence was still needed in Iraq. Elsen said he was skeptical about the reasons the United States, under President Bush, got involved in the first place.
"I think he's living out his dad's
idea, following what he started," Elsen said.
Eisen said.
Becky Harbert, Kingman freshman, said that putting American lives in danger was irresponsible and ridiculous. She said that Saddam Hussein was a credible threat when the United States went to war, but now that his regime was no longer in power, it was time to leave.
Angela Turner, St. Louis junior, said that any war was horrible, but if war did happen, then rebuilding was necessary.
The debate on post-war influence may be up for debate among civilians, but Lt. Colonel Brain DeToy, professor of military science, said it was not a matter of what the military should do after combat was over, but what it was
required to do by international law.
According to the Law of Land Warfare, established in part at the Geneva Convention of 1949, once a country or area has been occupied, the occupying country must provide an administration when the area is unable to provide a government to deal with civil affairs.
Therefore, because the United States overthrew8 the Iraqi government, it is responsible to provide peace and order until a government can be established.
erminant can be esas. DeToy said that when Iraq could govern themselves effectively, then the mission was over.
Unfortunately, the time between the end of combat at the realization of peace is often
marred by casualties. Deaths that commonly come from land mines, friendly-fire and faulty artillery, are expected by soldiers.
Patrick Brady, Overland Park senior and Corporal in the Army reserves, served in Iraq before and after the May 1 end of combat. Brady said all soldiers were aware that non-combat deaths were a part of military service.
Brady said soldiers had to accept the deaths of their comrades and the risk of losing their own lives, yet stay focused.

Muslims protest weak U.S. security
The Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Thousands of Shiite Muslims protested peacefully last night outside the headquarters of the U.S.-led coalition in Bagdad, charging the occupation force was lax on security and did too little to stop a weekend of ethnic bloodshed in the north and the bombing at the house of an important Muslim Shiite cleric in the south.
Hans Harmon, PRISM team member and Lawrence graduate student, operates one of the rovers the researchers used to collect data. The team had to make sure the rovers would work in Greenland's cold climate.
Shite cicit in the school. The U.S. military reported a soldier died of a non-hostile gunshot wound, bringing the number of soldiers killed since major combat was declared over to 138. A total of 276 soldiers have died in combat or by accident since the war began March 20.
The Baghdad protest moved, after about an hour, to the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan office in Baghdad. The protesters alleged the Kurdish organization started the fighting Friday night in Tuz Kharmato and continued attacks on Turkomen tribesmen the next day in Kirkuk, 115 miles north of Baghdad. Eleven people died.
The protesters dispersed quietly, ahead of the 11 p.m. Baghdad curfew.
The Baghdad protesters, mainly from the Sadr City slum, had sided with the Turkmen, also Shiites. A PUK spokesman in Baghdad told The Associated Press the violence was the work of Saddam Hussein sympathizers trying to complicate the already tense security situation in the country by adding the specter of ethnic and religious violence to the mix. Kurds are predominantly Sunni Muslims.
"They are trying to move the fighting (between Kurds and Turkmen) from Kirkuk and Tuz into Baghdad," said Adel Murad, a PUK spokesman.
In Najaf on Monday, mourners buried three guards who were killed in a bomb attack Sunday on the house of Mohammed Saeed al-Hakim, one of Iraq's most important Muslim Shiite clerics. The bomb, a gas cylinder wired to explode, was placed along the outside wall of the house. A number of al-Hakim's family members were wounded. He suffered cuts
on his neck
More than a thousand mourners jammed the streets in Najaf calling for revenge against the attackers, whose identities were not known. The demonstrators blamed U.S. forces for failing to provide security in the town.
Iraiq newspapers reported last week that Mohammed Saeed al-Hakim, who was under house arrest during the last days of Saddam's rule, had received threats against his life.

Salary gaps concern professors
Professional schools pay more than liberal, fine arts
by Robert Perkins
rperkins@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Professors of fine arts at the University of Kansas make roughly two-thirds the salary business professors do.
"It's an issue—it affects faculty morale," said Lawrence Mallett, department chair of music and dance.
Mallett said that fine arts professors leaving because of low salaries was a continuing problem at the University. He said that one professor had already left this year, in part because of the low pay.
School Professor Associate Professor Assistant Professor Law $120,674 $79,000 — Business 116,473 89,942 $93,871 Engineering 95,388 72,969 63,198 Pharmacy 94,739 65,888 58,780 College of liberal arts and sciences 78,117 57,801 47,974 Education 75,156 56,799 46,488 Architecture 72,380 54,557 45,650 Journalism 71,797 58,404 52,598 Social Welfare 71,454 61,860 48,806 Fine Arts 63,832 48,723 41,851 University Averages 84,217 59,686 50,765
Despite their comparable educations, some professional school professors earn tens of thousands more than humanities and sciences professors.
He said that he was optimistic that the tuition increase would help to close that particular pay gap.
FACULTY SALARIES BY RANK AND SCHOOL FOR THE 2003 YEAR Twelve-month salaries have been converted to nine-month equivalents.
Greg Simpson, the department chair of psychology, echoed Wilcox's frustration.
and scientific praction Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said that while the pay gap was frustrating, University liberal arts teachers were more bothered that teachers in their particular fields had higher wages at other universities.
He blamed the pay gap on competition with the non-academic marketplace.
"There's no doubt those who are making less are frustrated by this, but they are more frustrated by other schools' pay," he said.
"All of the faculty understands it," he said. "But as you might imagine, it bothers people in the arts and sciences."
However, he also said he had a suspicion that even if the University equalized all teachers' salaries by raising those of liberal arts and sciences professors without lowering anyone else's, professional-school professors would be unhappy.
University Averages
Chris Crandall, associate professor of social psychology, agreed with Simpson.

they like being paid better," he said.

pared.
"If a humanities professor wants to aspire to the salary of a business professor, then they should go acquire the skill set of that labor market," he said.
Anderson said that having every professor receive the same pay at the University would not bother him at all.
Crandall said that in theory, two factors determined teachers' pay; their market value, both in and out of academia, and how well they did their jobs.

rewards"
Vice provost for administration and finance
William Eakin
He said that teachers' pay in each department had to be competitive with other universities, not different departments, in order to attract the best teachers.
Eakin dismissed the idea that salaries of professional-school professors were higher because universities had to compete with the high salaries that these professors could make outside of the academic world.
"Most of us that work at the University say we could've made more money doing something else, but we do this for other rewards," he said.
He said that reasons people chose to work in academia included the opportunity to shape future generations and the freedom of curriculum that teaching allowed. Eakin also said that many law professors maintained
practices while they taught.
He blamed competition between universities and demand created by large numbers of students going into certain fields for teachers' salary differences, not a need to lure professional-school teachers away from the commercial world.
Most people make up their minds to become teachers before they graduate, making competition among different schools the biggest factor in determining pay, said Stuart Bell, dean of engineering. However, he said engineering professors' salaries had to be reasonably competitive with what they could earn outside of academia.
"It's pretty difficult for an academic institution to keep up with the commercial world," he said. "But that competition does exist."
Bell said he had never perceived any tension among colleagues at the University because of his higher pay.
As of this year, the University ranked seventh among the Big 12 in terms of educators' salaries.
One of the Chancellor's goals for the tuition increase is to improve that ranking in order to retain and attract the best teachers possible.

Free dental clinic provides services to more than 2,600 children, adults
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The sounds of drills and the occasional scream from a nervous child replaced the roar of engines at the Kansas Speedway this weekend as hundreds of volunteers turned the track into a free dental clinic.
Between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon, the volunteers treated 2,643 children and adults — some from as far away as Wichita — in assembly line-fashion in unairconditioned garages on a blazing hot weekend.
Volunteers at the Mission of Mercy clinic numbered about 900. They included dentists, oral surgeons, assistants and non-dental helpers. Like their patients, some of the volunteers drove long distances to help, said dental hygienist Janette Delinger, one of the organizers.
Patients showed up each day while it was still dark outside to get in line to have their teeth cleaned and cavities filled. The free services, which also included oral surgery and extraction, were valued at about $715,000, Delinger said.
were valued at about $20,000.
"I had trouble getting them to take breaks."
Delinger said of some of the dental hygienists she supervised. "I had to insist they stop to get water and food between patients."
September ceremony retocuses on unsolved murders of 2 women
GREAT BEND — The families of two women killed a year ago at a bakery are planning a ceremony to refocus attention on the homicides and the search for a suspect.
A brief ceremony at the Barton County Courthouse on Sept. 4 will note the one-year anniversary of the murders of Mary A. Drake, 79, and Mandi K. Alexander, 24, at the Dolly Madison Bakery.
A truck driver found the women dead in a back office of the store, where Alexander was a clerk and Drake was a customer.
No suspects have been arrested, and authorities have not said how the women died. Officials also aren't sure of a motive for the murders, although some money from the store was missing that night.
A composite photo of a suspect will be part of a billboard the victims' families are establishing on the outskirts of Great Bend.
"Right now, we're looking for action," said Michelle Drake, the daughter of Mary A. Drake. "We know folks have read about what happened, and we're sure they feel bad about it. The prayers we've received have been wonderful.
"But now, this is a new level. We need to back up all that with action."
Drake and members of Alexander's family will have a table at the courthouse Sept. 4, with information about the crime.
Visitor will be asked to write messages on balloons, with a launch scheduled for 6 p.m. - the time authorities believe the crime was committed.
the authorities believe the crime was committed. Drake said the families hope the brief ceremony will keep the double homicide in the minds of Great Bend residents and possibly prompt someone to come forward with a key piece of information that leads to the killer.
Boy who showed signs of West Nile begins lengthy rehabilitative struggle
WICHITA —An 11-year-old Great Bend boy is facing a long battle to recover his ability to talk, eat and play sports after contracting what medical professionals suspect was the West Nile virus.
Since he was rushed to Wichita's Wesley Medical Center in late July, Jordon Schenkel has improved sufficiently to leave the pediatric intensive care unit but still has trouble talking, swallowing and moving his arms. His parents, Steve and Terri Schenkel, are considering rehabilitation options.
"I was hoping he'd be home by now," Steve Schenkel said Friday. "But I guess that's not going to happen for a while."
Karen Guillory, a pediatric critical care specialist at Wesley, said an initial test of Jordon's spinal fluid indicated the presence of West Nile virus. But she said she is still waiting for official confirmation of that from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
vention.
Until then, his case isn't classified as one of the state's 10 human cases of West Nile so far his year. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, a Butler County man who died last week is the state's only West Nile fatality.
There are conflicting opinions about whether a case involving a Great Bend man who died in February was the state's first West Nile fatality.
Gov. Sebelius finds too many cars in review of government spending
WICHITA - The head of the Kansas Department of Administration said the state's fleet of 8,661 vehicles is too large.
And Howard Fricke plans to spend the next month figuring out how many unneeded vehicles the state owns. The state employs roughly 36,500 workers, full and part time, which means it owns one vehicle for every 4.2 employees.
one vehicle for every 4.2 employees "It seems like a lot to me." Fricke, who became administration secretary in January, said in an interview with The Wichita Eagle.
The issue of the fleet first received attention earlier this month when the Lawrence Journal-World reported that 135 new, state-owned vehicles all 2002 and 2003 models with a total value of more than $2 million were sitting unused in a lot near the state Capitol in Topeka.
Some of those cars have since been assigned to stage agencies, but most remained on the lot late last week. They will eventually replace others that are rotated out of the state fleet because of high mileage.
raised out of the safe fleet because of high Several lawmakers were irate because they had deleted funds for new cars in the budget, except for the Kansas Highway Patrol, but did not specifically prohibit vehicle purchases.
"There's no reason why the agencies went ahead and bought those cars. They shouldn't have," said state Sen. Paul Feleciano, D-Wichita.
Most of the vehicles were bought in the weeks after the state's 2002-03 budget was passed but before it took effect July 1, 2002.
Fricke said he plans no disciplinary action against any state employees. Instead, he said he is seeking a "culture change" in state government.
The vehicle review is part of the "top-to-bottom review" Sebelius promised during her campaign last year. Officials are trying to determine what the state owns,what it's worth and where it's located.

Naismith stop signs now permanent

Kansan staff writer
Turning onto Naismith Drive used to take a sense of timing and some good luck — until temporary stop signs were installed this summer to try to ease traffic problems.
terms.
Tonight, those signs should become permanent as the Lawrence City Commission adopts an ordinance that establishes a permanent all-way stop at Naismith Drive and Allen Fieldhouse Drive/Schwegler Drive.
The KU Public Safety Office went to the city commission this summer after they learned a traffic diverter would be installed on 18th Street.
A traffic study conducted by the city said 1,000 additional cars would be making turns onto Naismith from 19th Street.
Facilities Operations installed the temporary signs in mid-June, before the 18th Street diverter was put in place, so drivers could get used to the additions.
STOP
However, Tim Akright, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said his department was not a fan of the new addition.
"It is a nice little snafu," he said.
Akright said KU on Wheels officials disliked the stop signs because they caused problems for bus drivers.
"They used to have all the way from Naismith Hall to Sunnyside Avenue to change lanes," he said.
The four-way stop sign at Naismith Drive and Allen Fieldhouse Drive/Schwegler Drive is set to become permanent as the Lawrence City Commission adopts an ordinance. The signs were implemented to ease traffic problems and anticipate upcoming ones.
Avenue to Charge John Mullens, assistant director for the Office of Public Safety, said signs could be installed for 90 days without permanent approval.

2002 U.S. crime rate lowest in last 30 years
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Violent and property crimes dipped in 2002 to their lowest levels since records started being compiled 30 years ago, and have dropped more than 50 percent in the last decade, the Justice Department reported Sunday.
The annual survey by the Bureau of Justice Statistics identified about 23 million crime victims last year, down slightly from the year before and far below the 44 million recorded when studies began in 1973.
1973.
The rate of violent crimes — rapes, robberies and assaults — was about 23 victims for every 1,000 U.S. residents 12 or older last year. That compares with 25 victims per 1,000 in 2001 and 50 in 1993.
For property crimes such as burglary and car theft, the rate is 159 crimes per 1,000 last year, down from 167 the previous year and 319 in 1993.
In 1993. The study examined property and violent crimes except murder, which is measured separately by the FBI. Preliminary FBI statistics for 2002 released in June — based on reports from police across the country — reported a 0.8 percentage point rise in the murder rate compared with 2001.
The Justice Department survey, however, found continuing decreases in every major property and violent crime, crossing all household income, racial and ethnic lines. Crime is down in cities, suburbs and rural areas.

Attorney General John Ashcroft
credited citizens for being more
willing to report crimes and said the numbers are a tribute to the work of police, prosecutors and judges across the country.
across the country "But lower crime rates must not lead to complacency," Ahrsoft said. "We must continue our vigilance and renew our firm commitment to protect all Americans, bringing swift and certain justice to all those who would inflict pain and harm."
Experts say a number of factors have driven the crime rate down, including a more mature, less violent illegal drug trade, a drop in gang membership and even improved home locks and alarms that deter would-be burglars.
Even so, the continuing drop in crime surprises some.
crime surprised some
"Everyone thought the numbers would bottom out and then go back
up, but it hasn't happened," said James Lynch, law professor at the American University Center for Justice, Law and Society.
Justice, Law and Some criminologists think tougher prison sentences and more prisons are key factors, because they take more criminals off the streets longer. The Justice Department reported last week that at the end of 2001, more than 5.6 million adults—one in every 37 U.S. adults—were either in state or federal prison or had done prison time during their lives.

Collison will adjust to new role
Allen Iverson.

Jason Kidd.
Nick Collison?
Can you tell which name just doesn't seem to belong?
Four of them are perennial NBA All-Stars and are some of the highest-paid players basketball has to offer. The other one is still fresh off his walk down the hill at the University of Kansas, and has a season full of hazing from his veteran teammates to look forward to.
OK, enough fooling around.
OK, enough looming at Collison, who was the 12th overall selection by the Seattle Sonics in June's NBA Draft, is gaining a serious edge this summer over his rookie competition.
Cleveland's LeBron James and Denver's Carmelo Anthony can have their millions of dollars from Nike, Upper Deck and Sprite, but Collison's summer of learning from the NBA's elite is what could make him more ready come October than any other rookie the league has to offer.
As Team USA attempts to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also to restore its image as an indestructible basketball juggernaut, Collison sits at the end of the bench watching and learning. In the same role as Christian Laettner on the USA's 1992 "Dream Team," Collison is getting a firsthand experience, both on the bench and on the floor, of how much different the NBA game really is.
NBA game really is. "I try to help out if I see anything from the bench — yell out screens or whatever," Collison wrote recently on his basketball diary on USAbasketball.com. "These guys have been in the league so long that they see everything on the court before I can say anything, they see a lot more stuff than I do. But still it's a good experience, I'm learning a lot just by watching them."
Either way, Collison is starting to get used to going from being the number one option at Kansas to a role player for now in the NBA. Most players would scoff at the situation and let it leave a bitter taste in their mouths, but Collison simply accepts it with a grain of salt.
son simply accept his victory. Collison finally got his first big break of the Olympic qualifying tournament in the team's fourth game, when Tim Duncan could not bring himself to play against the Virgin Islands, his native country. The rookie answered with 13 points and five rebounds.
"It was fun to get out there and play," Collison wrote. "I'm not used to playing in the first half, I was a little surprised that I went in so early, but I'm not complaining. I had a couple of dunks, I don't know if they were as crowd-pleasing as some of the other guys' dunks, but they were alright."
were alright.
With the support of NBA superstars and his college coach Roy Williams as one of the team's assistants, Collison is learning the professional game on a better curve than all of his fellow first-year players. If he can translate what he's learned to the NBA floor this fall, watching games from the end of the bench with trainers and ballboys will not be his forte for too much longer.

Big changes for softball
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
Kansan Sportswriter
The University of Kansas softball team will have two noticeable changes when it steps on the field next snrina
Aaron Clopton, former assistant coach, stepped down after three years, clearing the path for former KU All-American outfieldder Christi Musser to take over. But even more apparent is the new state-of-the-art softball complex, Arrocha Ballpark, which will be completed in September.
pleted in September.
“It’s going to be a playing surface that will be second to none with anybody around us,” coach Tracy Bunge said.
“All the elements are in place for a fantastic facility.”
For now the facility will include the
new field, dugouts and batting cages. But Bunge said additions would be made in the future, and it showed the commitment the athletics department was making to softball.
Musser, who was a student-coach with the Jayhawks last season and played from 1999 to 2002, told the University in a news release she was ready for the upcoming season.
"I'm excited about my new position... and look forward to working with the girls and continuing to be a part of this program," she said.
Bunge said Clopton, who was a student-manager for three years and an assistant for three more at the University, made a family decision when he decided to step down.
"It's going to be a pretty easy transition," Bunge said. "But we will miss
him terribly because he's such a quality individual and was a quality coach."
coach.
Bunge said she thought the transition would be smooth because Musser would continue working with the outfielders, and Bunge would take over Clopton's job by working with the pitchers and catchers.
ers and catchers. Although the coaching change will not make the team look that much different, Bunge said she knew the new complex would. The old field was just that, a field, and did not resemble the stadium complex.

"It's clear we absolutely had to have a new facility if we were going to continue to compete at a high level," she said.
to compete at a high level This season the Jayhawks will host 12 opponents, the most ever in the history of the program.
Although the season opener is more than six months away, the team will start its fall season Sept. 8.
It will be a time for the Jayhaws to practice and improve on their respectable record of 26-22 last season.

Mangino ready for Wildcats
By John Domoney

Saturday presents the Kansas football team with an opportunity to start the year with a victory over the Big 10 Conference's Northwestern Wildcats. But yesterday's Big 12 Conference Teleconference presented coach Mark Mangino an opportunity to spread caution about Saturday night's game.
Saturday night's game.
"We can't look at our schedule and say if we beat this team we have arrived and we can't look at the schedule and say if we lose, we have not made any progress," Mangino said. "I think it's just too early in our program to do that."
Opening games have historically resulted in more victories than losses for the Jayhawks, who have a record of 57-49-7 in season openers. But Mangino is unlikely to forget his opening game coaching the Jayhawks last season.

Newcomers to add depth to KU team

The two players were not on the preseason depth chart, not in the player bios, and not even listed on the full team roster. Now both players have an opportunity to start.

"Rodney Fowler is a guy that is out here competing for a job." Mangino said. "He is just getting better everyday."
The updated depth chart has both Fowler and the 6-foot-5-inch wide receiver Bajza as backups.

"The Royals wanted this player badly. They were the most persistent and willing to do the most to get him." Indians general manager Mark Shapiro on pitcher Brian Anderson

Royals acquire Indians pitcher to strengthen starting rotation
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND - Brian Anderson deserved a break this season, and he got one yesterday.
one year later. Anderson was acquired for the pennant race by the Kansas City Royals, who sent the Cleveland Indians two minor leaguers and agreed to pay some of the left-hander's bonuses for 2003.
The 31-year-old Anderson went 9-10 with a 3.71 ERA for Cleveland, which signed him to a one-year free agent contract in December and may go after him again this winter.
Anderson has had a solid season in his second stint with the Indians, but has been unlucky in many of his 24 starts. Cleveland has given up a major league-high 27 uneared runs behind him.
He's hoping that trend changes with the Royals, who will start him tonight against Texas. Kansas City is one game behind first-place Chicago in the AL Central.
"He's had some success against the clubs we're going to be playing," Royals general manager Allard Baird said. "He has playoff experience and World Series experience."
Baird said the trade was not a reaction to Sunday's game, in which right-hander Kevin Appier left his start against Minnesota with tightness in his elbow.
"We tried to make this deal prior to the trade deadline, but it just did not work out." Baird said.
Appier, who has been pitching with a partial tear all season, is scheduled to see a doctor Tuesday.
Anderson, a native of Geneva, Ohio, said he had mixed emotions about leaving the Indians.
"It's been awesome here, getting to play at home," Anderson said. "But now I have the chance to get into a division race. I'm sure those (mixed) feelings will go away, but it's five weeks, and it's meaningful baseball."
For Anderson, who won a World Series title with Arizona, the Indians got first baseman-outfielder Trey Dyson and right-hander Kieran Mattison and cash considerations from the Royals.
"There was a lot of creativity with all three parties — the player and the two ballclubs," Baird said.
Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said those considerations were the Royals' willingness to pay bonuses Anderson was due if he made a certain number of starts this season.
Shapiro said Anderson drew interest from two teams before the July 31 trading deadline, and three more teams were aggressive in trying to sign Anderson before Aug. 31 when teams must have players on their roster to have them eligible for the postseason.
"The Royals wanted this player badly," Shapiro said. "They were the most persistent and willing to do the most to get him."
Anderson has playoff experience with
Cleveland and Arizona. As a reliever, he made three appearances in the 1997 ALCS with the Indians and pitched in three World Series games against Florida.
He was the Diamondbacks' starter for Game 3 of the 2001 World Series against the New York Yankees.
Anderson waived a $600,000 bonus he was due if he got traded so the Indians and Royals could complete the deal. He will be a free agent again this winter, and Anderson would prefer to return to Cleveland.
Shapiro said he would like to have Anderson back.
"I would still like to have one veteran in our rotation to provide us with stability." he said.
Kansas City needs wins. And after pitching against the Royals, Anderson is now eager to help the AL's surprise team cap its improbable season with a playoff appearance.
appearance. "They've stayed right in it," he said. "Everybody was waiting to see if they were for real and now they're doing that. It's going to be a fight until the end."
Dyson, 23, has spent this season Wilmington of the Class A Carolina League, where he batted .275 with 14 homers and 72 RBIs in 128 games.
homers Mattison, 23, went 8-5 with a 2.50 ERA in 17 starts for Burlington of the Class A Midwest League.
Shapiro said both players will report to the Indians' Kinston (A) affiliate.
Leg injury weakens Maurice Greene in 100-meter championship event
The Associated Press
SAINT-DENIS, France — Kansas City, Kan., native Maurice Greene's six-year reign as 100-meter world champion ended in pain Sunday when he hobbled across the finish line next-to-last in his semifinal heat.
Also dethroned was U.S. compatriot Stacy Dragila, who had won the only two previous world crowns in the women's pole vault but failed to win a medal this time.
In yet another disappointment for the American team at the World Championships, Raasin McIntosh fell on the eighth of the 10 hurdles in the women's 400-meter hurdles and didn't finish. She had to be helped off the track.
had to be same time, track and field's world governing body ordered U.S. team officials to punish spinner Jordan Drummond for his tantrum in Sunday's 100 quarterfinals by tonight.
And, adding insult to injury, some fans in the Stade de France crowd whistled in derision as "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played during the gold-medal ceremony for women's 100 champion Kelli White.
Greene's absence from the 100 final later yesterday wiped out a long-anticipated showdown with world-record holder Tim Montgomery, who sped into the final by finishing second to U.S. champion Bernard Williams in their semifinal heat.
Greene, who entered the world meet as a three-time defending champion, got off to a great start but slowed midway through the race. His face contorted in pain, and he fell far behind the leaders of the heat.

left leg as soon as he crossed the finish line.
"I got a great start and from my start I just felt my quad muscle pop," Greene said. "I just kept trying to go through it, but it just kept getting worse and worse as I went down the track."
Greene had not competed in a sprint race for six weeks until the world championships, and has not won a race since June. He has struggled with injuries since winning his third straight world championship in August 2001 in Edmonton.
Also missing from the final will be Drummond, who was disqualified for a false start in Sunday's quarterfinals and then threw a tantrum that forced a 45-minute delay in the running of his heat.
Greene said he did not expect to run on the U.S. 400-meter relay team at the World Championships.
Drummond sprawled on the track, preventing the heat from resuming. Then
he returned to the starting line, even after being red-carded. He finally left, and wept on a practice track as the heat was rerun.
Yesterday, the International Association of Athletics Federation ruled Drummond's "behavior was improper, unsporting and has brought the sport of athletics into disrepute."
The IAAF gave USA Track & Field chief executive Craig Mashback until 8 p.m. Tuesday to carry out an investigation, give Drummond a hearing and announce a sanction.
"There must be some disciplinary action," IAAF general secretary Istvan Gyulai, IAFT the AP. "This is unpsportsmanlike and damaging behavior and should not happen again."
USATF spokeswoman Jill Geer said the federation would study its bylaws to determine "the proper disciplinary procedure under an expedited circumstance."
"I think more information will come out," he told the AP. "It's in everybody's interests that the dust settles."
Before the IAAF announced its decision, Masback said not all the facts were known.
Drummond was not available yesterday for comment.
If the IAAF is not satisfied with the U.S. action, the world body can impose its own sanctions against Drummond, Gyulai said.
Missouri basketball team accused of academic cheating
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The entire Missouri men's basketball program will be investigated by a panel led by an electrical engineering professor because of allegations of academic cheating, university president Elson Floyd said yesterday.
Missouri's athletics department already was conducting its own investigation and is cooperating with an NCAA investigation. In a statement, Floyd said the athletic department would cooperate in a probe to be "elevated to a comprehensive investigation of the entire men's basketball program."
Floyd said the investigation would be a "continuation, extension and amplification of the work already done" by the athletic department and that Columbia
Chancellor Richard Wallace supported the expanded probe.
The investigation is to be led by Michael Devaney, a
M
professor of electrical engineering and immediate past chairman of the Faculty Council on the Columbia campus.
"This is going to be a thorough and objective investigation of the men's basketball program, especially because of the allegations that have touched on academic integrity. I can tell you this is an issue that faculty takes very, very seriously and needs to be assured that the athletes' work is truly their own work." Devaney, a professor at Columbia since 1969, said in a telephone interview yesterday evening.
Big 12 commissioners rule Baylor transfers OK
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Baylor basketball players who transfer because of the school's self-imposed probation will be exempt from a Big 12 Conference rule that they sit out a year, the conference ruled yesterday.
"The council was careful to clarify in its vote that the action was based upon the unique circumstances presented in the Baylor situation," Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said of the ruling by the league's Council of Faculty Athletics Representatives.
Baylor President Robert Sloan Jr. offered all players a release from their scholarships Aug. 8 when he announced major violations had been found in the basketball program and coach Dave Bliss resigned.
conference rules still applied.
The NCAA already waived its rule requiring transfers to sit out a year, but
BAYLER BEARS
The ruling means John Lucas III and Kenny Taylor, the Bears' second- and
tird-leading scorers, are eligible to play this season at different conference schools.
Lucas told KRIV-TV of Houston yesterday that he was transferring to Oklahoma State and expected to begin classes this week. Taylor said last week that he was transferring to Texas, which has a scholarship available.
Lawrence Roberts, Baylor's top scorer and rebounder last season, signed a letter of intent last week with Mississippi State and started classes at the SEC school
NFL Broncos fanatic 'Barrel Man' suffers undisclosed ailment
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Tim McKernan, known as the Denver Broncos Barrel Man, was in critical condition at St. Mary's Hospital Sunday.
McKernan was flown to Grand Junction from Gunnison on Thursday, hospital spokesman Dan Prinster said. The hospital didn't disclose what was wrong with McKernan, who has a history of heart problems.
McKernan wore a barrel to a Broncos game in 1977 on a bet with his brother. Since then, he has led cheers at games, wearing an orange barrel supported by suspenders, orange cowboy hat, boots and, reportedly, nothing else.
McKernan, an airlines mechanic, said before he was inducted that if he could keep fans interested in the game, "players are going to play that much harder for them." —The Associated Press
McKernan's devotion to the Broncos earned him a spot in the fan section of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999. He attended Super Bowl XXXII, where the Broncos defeated the Green Bay Packers 31-24 in the first of back-to-back championships.

on the depth chart. Remuise Johnson led last year's team with six interceptions and was the team's starting punt returner. He has since lost both jobs.
Junior college transfer Shelton Simmons won the cornerback spot and Charles Gordon and John Randle will take over punt return duties.
The offensive line is as expected, with Adrian Jones at left tackle and Danny Lewis at right tackle. Joe Vaughn won the starting center position in the spring while Tony Coker and Bob Whitaker give Kansas a pair of 320-pound guards. Lionel Anderson will be the tight end.
Neitther Bajza or freshman Moderick Johnson are listed as starters, but both will see plenty of time at wide receiver behind Brandon Rideau, Mark Simmons and Gordon.
Clark Green will start in the backfield, but he will be pushed by freshman Randle. Bill Whitte-more will start at quarterback.
Newcomers have had a bigger impact on defense. Monroe Weekley, Chuck Jones, Gabe Toomey and Simmons are slated to start. Toomey shifted to inside linebacker, while Banks Flood-

man moved to the outside. With the injury to captain Travis Watkins, Chuck Jones and Cory Kipp moved from defensive end to defensive
tackle, where both are listed as starters.
Other newcomers who may have an impact are John McCoy, who shifted from inside linebacker to defensive end, Zach Mims at linebacker, and Kenneth Thompson at cornerback.
In all, 15 newcomers to the team this season are listed on the two-deep depth chart, seven on offense and eight on defense.

"I think it took me one or two games to feel comfortable," Whittemore said. "We are expecting them to be ready."

Michael Vick is hyped as the next John Elway or more. He was supposed to carry the Atlanta Falcons past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South this season and, perhaps, on to the Super Bowl.

Then Vick did what comes naturally, scrambling in a meaningless exhibition game against Baltimore.
"Nothing was open and I had to do something to make a play," he said. "It wasn't looking good at the time and I just tried to get something going."

Instead, he got something stopped: the Falcon's' momentum. He was hit from behind and went down with a broken leg that will keep him out for the first four regular-season games and perhaps more.
Not a good thing in a division that had three teams with winning records and a fourth, Carolina, which made a major push upward last season.
Vick's injury solidifies Tampa Bay's position as the favorite to win the division again. The most significant loss from last year's team is free safety Dexter Jackson, the Super Bowl MVP, who

But since Pittsburgh ended its run of four titles in six years after the 1979 season, only three teams have won repeat championships: San Francisco (1988-89), Dallas (92-93) and Denver ('97-98). Their quarterbacks were Joe Montana, Troy Alkman and Elway, all a lot better than Johnson.
Still, the Bucs believe
"I think it's going to be the hardest thing we ever try to do in our lives." Sapp says. "But I think this team is up for the challenge."
Atlanta might be the biggest challenge if Vick is his old self when he returns. Meanwhile, Doug Johnson will be at quarterback and he's not bad — he was 19-off 25 for 257 yards in a road victory against the Giants, a playoff team, in his only start last season, although New York played that game without both starting cornerbacks.
"Doug's a very fiery guy," says middle linebacker Keith Brooking, the Falcons' best defensive player. "He's told me, 'I like it when the D-lineman hits me as I'm throwing the ball. I like to pick myself up in front of him."
That feels good to me.' Hey, not many quarterbacks are going to say that."

KANSASCITY,Mo. — Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs are not alone in hoping to see history repeat itself.

Women's basketball to prep in Mexico

The University of Kansas women's basketball team will take a late summer vacation, but the trip is more business than recreation.
The Jayhawks will leave Lawrence Friday night for Monterrey, Mexico. The team will play two games Saturday and two games Sunday, including one against the Mexican National Team, before returning to Lawrence Monday night.

"If I could get a fifth game in, I would've, but that was impossible," coach Marian Washington said.
A major benefit of the trip is the team is allowed 10 practices to prepare, giving new players an opportunity to get familiar with the program.

When Washington learned exhibition games were within NCAA rules, she decided to take advantage of the opportunity. Exhibition trips are possible only if team members miss no classes.
Junior forward Blair Waltz drives past Colorado defender Katie Fagan during a 2003 home game. The women's basketball team will depart for an exhibition tour in Monterrey, Mexico, on Friday.
Many coaches choose to schedule exhibition games during the summer, but Washington chose the Labor Day weekend so five new players could join the team.
"By waiting until the fall I was able to have everyone go, and that's what we needed," Washington said.
She said the team was not going to worry about victories and losses while in Mexico, and everyone would see playing time.
"There's so many positives about this trip," Washington said. "I'm very pleased that we're going

Former All-American leaves Arizona
By Christopher Wuensch Arizona Daily Wildcat via W-WIRE The University of Arizona
By Christopher Wuensch
TUCSON, Ariz. — It's a mere two months before the opening tip-off, and the University of Arizona men's hoops team has suffered its first major setback of the season with the departure of one of its few returning big men.
When Arizona takes to the court on Nov. 5 to square off in
the annual Pepsi Red-Blue game, the Wildcats will be without the services of 6-foot-6 freshman forward Chris Dunn.
ward Chris Dunn
The former two-time high school All-American has enrolled at Cochise Community College, leaving him ineligible to return to Arizona until he completes his two-year degree. Regarded as the most athletic of all Wildcat recruits, Dunn's exodus leaves the Wildcats lacking depth, with only

Recent departures of forwards Luke Walton, Rick Anderson and
Dennis Latinmore leave the Wildcat lineup thin in the low post. The only returning forward from last year's Elite Eight squad is sophomore small forward Andre Iguodala.
Even with just eight scholarship players available, the team will not be fazed, said Josh Pastner, Arizona assistant coach.

Dean of pharmacy school to step down after 2004
The Student Newspaper of the University of Kansas
By Maggie Newcomer

Kansan staff writer
Wednesday, August 27, 2003
Jack Fincham, dean of the School of Pharmacy, will step down from hfs position at the end of the 2005-04 academic year.
But he won't be going far.
Fincham has been dean of the school for nine years and plans to stay at the University of Kansas as a teacher and researcher. He came to the University from Creighton University in 1994, where he was associate dean of pharmacy for three years. Fincham said he made a 10-year commitment to be dean of the pharmacy school and now wanted to concentrate on teaching and research.
Kenneth Audus, chairman of the department of pharmaceutical chemis
try, said Fincham had been supportive of the graduate programs and research grants in the school. During Fincham's nine years at the University, research funding tripled to $13.4 million. Last spring the school ranked third among all 85 pharmacy schools nationwide in research funding from the National Institutes of Health.

The third-place ranking was the highest the school had ever received. The school was repeatedly ranked in the top 10 for the previous five years.

"It's the excellence of our faculty and

the research they do. Fitchman, while Fincham was dean, the school also expanded to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City Kan.
In the new program, Pharm.D., graduates are prepared for the new technologies in pharmacy practice. Practicing pharmacists also can update their degree to Pharm.D. through non-traditional online classes.
Audus said this was a result of Fincham's commitment to collaboration among the departments in the school.
Provost David Shulenburger will begin the search for a new dean this fall and would like to have a new dean appointed by July 1,2004,Todd Cohen assistant director of University Relations,said.

Cohen said it was too soon to know who the candidates would be, but the University was lucky that Fincham chose to stay at the University.
Fincham said he enjoyed his time as

Regulation could limit students' aid grants

A new government regulation will deprive some financially strapped students of federally funded Pell Grants.

Pell Grants are need-based and range anywhere from $400 to $4,050.
Income and the school's cost affect how much a student will receive.
Because they are grants and not loans, students do not have to pay them back.
To be eligible for the maximum amount, a family must not be able to provide students with any money.
"It's complicated," Covington said.
"But if they can provide $3,851, they don't get any money."

Covington said no one would lose any money until the Department of Education could determine the effects of the tax change.

Stephanie Covington, associate director of the Office of Financial Aid, said more than 2,700 KU students were eligible for Pell Grants and could be affected by the regulation.
She said Sen. Edward Kennedy (D- Massachusetts) had called for changes to the regulation so students would not be adversely affected.
"I'd just have to get a lot more loans," Schlegel said.
Covington explained that families that could provide students with $3,850 for college were eligible for a $400 grant. She said the change in taxes could move them out of Pell Grant range.

Mars orbit attracts viewers as planet reaches closest point
The University of Kansas department of physics and astronomy will offer students and Lawrence residents a chance to see Mars when it is closest to Earth.
The two planets will be 55.8 million kilometers, or about 89 million miles, from each other tonight.
This is the closest the planets have been to each other in 50,000 to 60,000 years. The planets are 22.2 million kilometers, or about 35.5 million miles, closer to each other than they usually are when they are near each other in their orbits.
The observatory on the roof of Lindley Hall will be open to the public from 10:30 tonight until 1:30 a.m. tomorrow, if the weather permits viewing. The observatory houses an antique telescope, which was given to the University in 1885.
sity in 1869. Barbara Anthony-Twarog, physics and astronomy professor, said the department would also set telescopes on the lawn near Lindley.
Anthony-Twarog said though Mars had been widely studied by spacecraft, the event would still be important.

Health center to sponsor event to promote student wellness
A wellness fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today on the Stauffer Flint lawn.
The event, sponsored by Watkins Memorial Health Center, will include more than 25 campus and community organizations.
Bill Smith, director of health promotions at Watkins, said that a wide variety of information and services would be available at the fair.
"We're trying to give students a broad spectrum of health and wellness issues," Smith said.
In addition to free massages and healthy snacks, the fair will feature a free health risk assessment program.
The four-step program will test a participant's bone density, cholesterol, body mass index and caloric needs. A graduate student from the University of Kansas Medical Center will then analyze the test results and discuss them with participants.
"We've always offered these tests, but we never put the information together for the students," Smith said
After completing the program, parti
cipants will have the opportunity to fill out a 20-question survey. Participants who fill out the survey will receive a $20 Target gift certificate.
Smith said all University students, faculty and staff were welcome to participate in the fair. In the event of extreme heat, the fair will conclude at 1 p.m.

More meal plans offer food options
By Kevin Kampwirth
kkampwirth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Whether eating on campus or off campus, meal plans that cater to the needs of University of Kansas students are now available.
Starting this semester, students have the opportunity to choose between the improved traditional meal plan offered by the University, or the new Rock Chalk meal plan owned and operated by an off-campus company.
The Rock Chalk meal plan is similar to programs at other schools, such as the University of Illinois and University of Iowa. The company said the plan was what many University of Kansas students had wanted for some time
"There was a high demand for an alternative meal plan at Kansas," said Mike Dolezal, regional director for the program. "Traditional plans can be constraining sometimes."
Dolezal said he received e-mails and calls from students requesting a plan similar to what the Rock Chalk plan offers.
The Rock Chalk plan does not
require contracts or commitments that one must adhere to. Users of the plan pay for as much or as little food as they think they will eat. A few days later, they receive a card by mail that can be used at any of the participating restaurants.
Chill's, Subway and Papa John's are three of the 13 area locations that accept the plan.
"It's great because there's so many options and you can always count on quality food," Dolezal said.
The Rock Chalk plan claims to be more flexible than traditional University meal plans because there are fewer time restrictions.
For example, Mrs. E's in Lewis Hall closes at 7:30 p.m., which may not accommodate all students. On the other hand, Perkins, one of the restaurants that accepts the Rock Chalk plan, is open 24 hours.
For those who prefer to eat on campus, the University has changed its traditional meal plan. One of the biggest improvements is that users of the University plan, known as KU Cuisine, can get food at more than 17 campus
eateries, including both unions and Wescoe Terrace.
"It's very convenient because students can stay on campus and eat," said Nona Golledge, assistant director of dining services for the University. "Students have been asking for a plan that can be used at dining halls and on campus for a while."
KU Cuisine offers different weekly plans depending on how many meals one plans on eating per week. The 19-meal-a-week plan costs $2,324 a year, the 13meal plan $2,074 a year, and the seven-meal plan runs $1,574 for a year.
year.
"The good thing about the KU plan is that it lets you eat anywhere on campus, which I love," said Tommy O'Gara, Evanston, Ill., junior.
Under the KU Cuisine plan, all of the account information is stored on a KUID that keeps track of the meals each week. Where the Rock Chalk plan claims to be more focused at students, KU Cuisine hopes to attract everyone in the University community.
"We want to get the word out so that faculty and staff take advantage of the plan as well," Golledge said.
Dolezal said another benefit of the Rock Chalk plan was that money was never wasted because students only paid for what they ate. Dolezal said students tended to skip meals, which wasted money under traditional meal plans.
The results of research done by Rock Chalk plan administrators showed that the national average for missed meals at dining halls is 33 percent. That means if a University of Kansas student has a 13-meal-per-week plan for the year, the most popular plan Golledge said, the average cost of a meal at the dining halls is $7.60 after factoring in missed meals
"It's just more cost-effective." Dolezal said. "Balances under this plan roll over from semester to semester, year to year. You're only charged for what you eat."
Terry Maloney, Chicago senior, was torn on which meal plan to get, but eventually decided on the Rock Chalk plan.
"The Rock Chalk offers a better selection and is much more flexible." Maloney said.

New sisters delighted to begin life in sorority house

In a flurry of screams, tears and hugs for their new sisters, about 600 fledgling sorority members came to the end of their recruitment journey in Budig Hall yesterday evening.
"We're very excited to start our new experiences with our new house," said Sandra Carpenter, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, after finding out she and two of her friends were accepted to Delta Delta Delta, their top choice.

Cripple said the recruitment process at the University of Kansas was similar to every other university with a sorority system. She said the narrowing process was designed ease recruits' fears and help them make the best decision.

Profiling needed for airport security
perspective
A G.I. Joe action figure toting a miniature gun through the Los Angeles International Airport was recently detained. After having his weapon confiscated, he was allowed to proceed with his young owner, a small boy who could not be reached for comment.
Remarkably, G.I. Joe remained completely stoic and unyielding even as airport security pried his weapon out of his masculine plastic hands. If this story strikes you as a little ridiculous - and it actually did happen - realize that it is not a great deal less sensible than what goes on every day under the guise of airport security, specifically random searches.
Random searches at airports are a perfect example of a politically correct measure that would be laughable were it not so time-consuming and potentially deadly. The only real purpose random searches serve is to assist airlines in deflecting spurious accusations of racism and bias.
Random searches treat the prevention of terrorism as a sort of crapshoot, where employing trained profilers is no more effective than playing "eeny, meany, miny, moe." Terrorism and crime simply do not configure themselves along evenly distributed, politically correct lines. And confiscating nail clippers from little old ladies has not made anybody safer.
has not made any absences
According to the Sept. 25, 2001
Atlantic Monthly, Arab or Muslim males were responsible for 100 percent of successful terrorist attacks on commercial airlines in the last twenty years, and, of course, the infamous Sept. 11 attack, as well as numerous smaller-scale attacks.
It is undeniable that in the Arab world there exists a radically violent minority bent on the terrorism and destruction of Western civilization.
So committed in fact are these terrorists that they are willing to lose their own lives in the process. I am not suggesting that it has always been this way or that it always will be, nor am I suggesting that there are not many lovely, peaceful Arab and Muslim people (I know several myself).
However, it is accurate and fair to say that for the time being, security personnel should devote extra scrutiny to Arab and Muslim males. It was not a coincidence that 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia and the other four were from various countries located in the Middle East.
Racial profiling is a rational and more effective approach than random searches. Many people believe that racial profiling is unconstitutional and racist. It is neither. There is no constitutional "right" to have ethnicity disregarded by law enforcement. In the 1975 Supreme
COMMENTARY
Arrah Nielsen opinion@kansan.com
The only people who would understandably oppose racial profiling in airports are terrorists themselves. Racial profiling is not about racism or unfair discrimination; it is about protecting people's lives. Most people of any ethnic or racial persuasion care about their own
Court case United States vs. Brignoni-Ponce, the court noted, "The government has estimated that 85 percent of the aliens illegally in the country are from Mexico." As such, the court ruled that the "Mexican appearance" of a car's occupants was enough reason for border police to stop the car in order to search for illegal aliens.
If racial appearance can be used to protect Americans from the dire threat of one more Mexican working construction illegally, why can't it be used to stem the very real and grave threat of homicidal terrorists using passenger planes as missiles?
lives and those of their loved ones and thus they should be supportive of measures such as racial profiling.
Racial profiling of suspected hijackers in airports is fundamentally different from using racial profiling in other situations. Pulling over African-American males in wildly disproportionate numbers should be condemned because drug smuggling does not put civilian lives in imminent danger. Nor do African American males comprise 100 % of drug smugglers. Racial profiling in this context can only do more harm than good by fostering resentment and distrust among a minority group that historically has experienced ill-treatment in the justice system.
perspective
It is unfortunate that innocent people will be inconvenienced and delayed in their travels. But it is necessary. The Department of Transportation should be lambasted for bowing to special- interest groups at the expense of national security. The lives of innocent civilians are infinitely more important than some fuzzy notion of political correctness. Racial profiling in airports is one of several measures that must be taken to ensure saner and more effective airport

Contact congressional representatives to make financial aid work for you
Financial aid recipients should be aware that the agenda for the upcoming congressional session contains a very important appropriations issue to be considered right after the Labor Day holiday. As tuition increases continue and state aid declines, students may need to act right away to ensure that their interests receive consideration.
interests receive college credit. Next week, the Senate is expected to take up the fiscal year 2004 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education appropriations bill, section 1356. This bill will keep funding for Title IV financial aid programs at current FY03 levels. The House is also expected to keep funding at FY03 levels. While this is good news in a time of Washington belt-tightening, the reality is that without any increase in federal financial aid support, many students will find it harder to afford college when expected tuition increases happen next year.
There is an amendment being offered, however, by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) to increase funding for many federal aid programs. This amendment may be the
only opportunity for students to see an increase in aid next year. This amendment must be accepted by the Senate for any aid increase effort to move forward. Even then, there will be other hurdles to overcome.
Here are two examples of what the Kennedy Amendment would do: Kennedy proposes to raise the maximum Federal Pell Grant from the current $4,050 to $4,500. A $450 increase would help our neediest students.His proposed amendment would also restore money to a state matching grant program that helps support the Kansas Comprehensive Grant. This money helps stretch state appropriations. Without a matching federal grant, state legislators may not see the benefit in continuing current funding for this state program.
Chris Johnson opinion@kansan.com
GUEST COMMENTARY
As you know, Congress has many factors to consider when working with appropriations. To increase levels in one program might mean reducing levels in another. Party politics also comes into play when allocating your federal dollars (Kennedy is a Democrat, Kansas
A
senators are Republican). Special interests are on location in Washington to influence decisions.
Financial aid recipients, however, are in school and can't hover outside a legislator's office. What can they possibly do?
The answer is simple. Students must contact their congressional representatives by phone or by e-mail. They must do it this week. Contacts of this sort by a large number of students may be the only way to overcome party politics and the power of special interests. Only a widespread outpouring of support will ensure that the Kennedy Amendment survives.
I am in favor of increasing federal financial aid grant programs to help
Whatever students decide to do, I encourage them all to pay attention this year to all happenings in Washington that pertain to financial aid. Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act is also on the congressional agenda. Reauthorization impacts financial aid programs for six years, so students should watch carefully to ensure their interests are considered. Contact senators this week at www.senate.gov. House representatives can be reached anytime at www.house.gov.
ensure access for the neediest students in our country. If students agree with this and want to see federal grant programs increased, they should contact their state senators this week to encourage approval of the Kennedy Amendment. This may be their opportunity to make this happen next year.

Delta Force unconcerned with minority party status
By Paul Kramer
pkramer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After winning a majority of Student Senate seats last spring, KUnited should control legislation this year. Surprisingly, KUnited's chief opponents in last year's election, Delta Force, are just fine with that.
The self-proclaimed "watchdog" group on campus is content with the situation. With fewer Senate seats this year, the group is focusing on activities outside of the typical Senate format, and pushing advocacy.
Drew Thomas, Delta Force senator, said his group was more concerned with student issues on and off campus than other coalitions.
Thomas said Delta Force platform issues, such as monitoring the tuition advisory committee, which finalizes the allotment of tuition dollars, and supplementing the sexual-assault program run through the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, were ways Delta Force could be effective outside the Senate.
Only one 15-hour-per-week counselor works with sexual-
assault victims. This is a position Thomas and other Delta Force members would like to become full time, or for another part-time worker to be added.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the center, said she was aware of Delta Force's interest in her program and welcomed the attention.
Rose-Mockry said she was thrilled that this issue was getting attention from a campus group. She said the attention would help get money needed for the new position.
Along with student safety
issues, Delta Force has spent time handing out fliers to Board of Regents members before the tuition increase vote and organizing a rally on behalf of graduate teacher assistants for a raise.
The group has also worked with Students for Peace in antiwar rallies and by providing forums to discuss alternatives to war.
Brian Thomas, Delta Force member, not related to Drew Thomas, said he was drawn to Delta Force because of its reputation for direct activism on student issues.
He said going to the administration or relevant campus groups rather than waiting for a bill to get through Senate was a more direct and effective way to get things accomplished.
Delta Force has won one presidential campaign in its seven-year history. That was two years ago with Justin Mills and Kyle Browning.
"It was my first year in Delta Force and I was excited," Drew Thomas said. "Everyone said we were going to lose and we won. I was shocked."
was shocked. He said he thought Delta Force could win another presidential
election in the future, but it was dependent on getting all student supporters to vote.
appointed Scott McKenzie, Delta Force member and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said the coalition wouldn't stop campaigning for Senate seats or the presidency. Campaigning is another way to raise issues that affect a broad range of students, he said.
Delta Force meets at 8 p.m. Sunday nights in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave.
FacEx to monitor salaries

Groups file suit against EPA, sav water needs improvement
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Four environmental groups have sued the Environmental Protection Agency, claiming it must declare whether Kansas water quality rules are adequate.
"It is regrettable that the people of Kansas have to continue to file lawsuits in federal court in order to get the EPA to fully carry out the Clean Water Act passed by Congress more than 30 years ago," the groups, which include the Kansas Natural Resources Council, the Kansas Sierra Club Friends of the Kaw and the Arkansas River Coalition, said Monday in a prepared statement
agency had no comment on the new litigation. He said the agency was busy working on the regulations that the environmentalists want a ruling on.
mentions,
"It's a high-priority item."
Kessler said, adding there was no timetable to complete the task
Martin Kessler, a spokesman for the regional EPA office in Kansas City, Kan., said the
At issue are regulations the state submitted in December 2002 to put in place new water quality standards.
The environmental groups said EPA had up to 60 days to approve the rules or 90 days to disapprove and specify needed changes. That deadline passed about five months ago.
The environmental groups oppose the state rules, saying they were written to please the agricultural industry by allowing lax restrictions on waste runoff
from farms, ranches and feedlots.
The lawsuit, which was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., is not the first instance in which the Kansas environmental groups have sued the EPA to get it moving faster.
In July, a federal judge ordered the EPA to upgrade the potential use of more than 1,000 bodies of water in Kansas. As a result, the EPA designated 1,062 bodies of water across the state as "primary contact recreational," which means the waters should be clean enough to fish and swim in. That means industries and municipalities that discharge into such waters may have to improve their treatment processes to remove more bacteria from their waste, officials said.

Program needs teachers; faces possible elimination
By Steve Schmidt
sschmidt@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Harold Nelson has a bone to pick with the Student Senate.
For 15 years, the Quail Run Elementary school counselor has worked with more than 100 University of Kansas students in the Youth Educational Services program.
KU students act as tutors at elementary, junior and high schools in the city — including Quail Run.
Nelson said he was tired of the program having to prove its worth to the Student Senate and the Board of Regents through letters by parents and testimonies.
He said its worth was already evident in the program's alumni that had gone on to teaching jobs
as experienced educators.
"The good that program provides, words can't describe," Nelson said, adding that it "shouldn't be placed in a pickle and have to fight for money."
Unfortunately for Nelson and everyone else involved, the program has taken its share of cuts.
YES coordinator Stephanie Craig, Edmund, Okla., sophomore, said the total hours the tutors would work this year would be trimmed to 220, 30 less than last year. Tutors work two to 15 hours a week.
Last year the program lost 10 of its 40 tutors to graduation, among other reasons, at the end of the fall semester.
Ann Hartley, associate director of career and employment services, said the program couldn't hire replacements for the fall after
the minimum wage for University student jobs increased to $6 from $5.15.
"It was kind of unfortunate because those schools kind of did without," Hartley said. "That's how we coped with that as far as stretching the year financially."
Hartley said about $19,000 in program funding would come from the Board of Regents. An additional $9,000 will come from the Educational Opportunity Fund grant, which is overseen by the Student Senate. That's a $1,000 increase but still nothing close to the $56,718 the program first received in Fall 1989, not adjusted for inflation.
Linda Mullens, associate vice provost for student success, said back then the YES program was one of about 10 programs applying for Educational Opportunity Fund grant money. That number is now up to about 40 programs.
But Nelson said the program shouldn't have to battle with other programs.
"It's unfair for them to go through the Senate and be compared to other programs that do not provide the resources that the YES program does," Nelson said.
Student Senate's Educational Opportunity Fund Committee oversees how the entire grant is allocated. Five students and two faculty members make up the committee, with the student body president serving as chairman.
The YES program was originally started by a student legislative lobbying group, the Associated Students of Kansas, in 1988. The group wanted to look at programs that would positively affect high-risk kids at local schools through tutoring and mentoring, said Diane Lindeman, director of student financial assistance at the Board of Regents.
She said the University's program was the most active in the state.
Nelson said he could see the effectiveness of the program and its activity in the community.
"The students aren't just run-of-the-mill students. They're very conscientious. If they didn't get paid, they'd volunteer." Nelson said.
Nelson said the program could thrive even more if tutors could spend more of their time working with kids and less time pondering
the program's possible extinction.
"They've been raked over the coals and I'm resentful of that because you can't focus if you're worried about its existence," Nelson said.
Craig said applications for the program were available. Deadlines aren't set because individual schools choose the applicants themselves. She planned to have the average number of 40 tutors this year.
"We're looking for energetic, outgoing people, students who are excited about working with kids and are ready to become part of a child's life," Craig said.

TRANSMITTERS/Devices give instructors instant feedback from class

the Spring 2003 semester.
The transmitters work by sending a signal to a receiver. One receiver can work for about 25 transmitters, so receivers are scattered throughout the classroom.
Shawl began using the transmitters because the technology was available and he thought it would help his students to learn.
"It makes an improvement in learning because it gets students involved," Shawl said. "They need to respond and can't just sit there."
here:
Before he used the transmitters, Shawl had students interact the old-fashioned way — by raising their hands.
Students can purchase the transmitters from local bookstores for $20 to $50. Each transmitter has an identification number that students e-mail along with their student information to their instructors. The instructors then put that information into the computer program used to run the receiver. Once the information has been entered, each student is associated with their individual transmitter and instructors can record individual scores for students.
tons students push to choose among possible answers on quizzes or tests. There is a sixth button on the receiver that allows students to go to previous questions. The information can then be projected onto a screen to allow students and instructors to see what answer was chosen.

action in class. "At least you'll get some feedback." Princ said.
Shawl said the physics department had enough receivers to install them in another classroom in Malott Hall, located south of Budig Hall. He said the receivers would be installed soon and that other instructors were looking forward to using the transmitters in the spring.
The extra receivers will go into room 2074 Malott Hall.

Brendan McCormick, a spokesman for Philip Morris USA, said the major tobacco companies agreed in the nationwide settlement signed in 1998 not to pay for product placement or to grant permission to films that want to feature their cigarettes. He declined to comment on the letter.
The Dartmouth study involved 2,603 children who were between 10 and 14 at the start of the study in 1999 and had never smoked when they were recruited. They were asked at the beginning of the study which movies they had seen from a list of 50 movies released between 1988 and 1999.

Citizens lucky shuttle pieces missed

After the shuttle Columbia broke up over Texas, news reports were filled with startling images and descriptions of its debris strewn over a wide area.

But it noted that the Columbia disaster shows that a shuttle breakup has the potential to harm people on the ground. NASA had not made any documented effort to assess the public risk from shuttle re-entry before the Columbia accident, but it is now working on a national policy for protecting public safety during all operations that involve space vehicles, according to the investigation board.
NASA should be legally responsible for public safety, the accident report says, "during all phases of shuttle operations, including re-entry."

Iraq death toll surpasses combat deaths by two
ST.LOUIS (AP) — On a day when the postwar U.S. death toll climbed past the number killed in major combat, President Bush pledged "no retreat" in the war on terrorism and defended his actions in Iraq amid calls for more international help.
"We're on the offensive against terror, and we will stay on the offensive against terror," Bush told about 6,000 people Tuesday
"We've adopted a new strategy for a new kind of war: We will not wait for known enemies to strike us again. We will strike them ... before they hit more of
our cities and kill more of our citizens."
In Afghanistan, U.S.-led troops are meeting with an increasingly well-organized Taliban fighters. Rising violence between the Israelis and Palestinians has rocked the U.S.-brokered road map for peace. In Iraq, reconstruction work has been dealt a major setback by the bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad.
Bush faces tenuous situations on several fronts.
A grim milestone was reached Tuesday when the U.S. death toll in postwar Iraq surpassed the number killed during major combat. When Bush declared aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1 that major combat operations had ended, the death toll was 138. Since then, 140 have died, including two on Tuesday.
Although no weapons of mass destruction have been found and some analysts point to loose links between Saddam and al-Qaida, Bush insisted that the United States was right to invade Iraq. He said U.S.-led forces removed a brutal dictatorship that built, possessed and used weapons of mass destruction.
While the president was in St. Louis, L. Paul Bremer, the top U.S. official in Iraq, was at the
White House talking about the situation in Iraq with Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice.

economy. Bush cited progress in Iraq: More than 8,200 tons of ammunition seized since May 1. Forty-two of the 55 most-wanted Iraqi leaders captured or killed." The more progress we make in Iraq, the more desperate the terrorists will become," he said.
In an interview with The Washington Post for Wednesday's editions, Bremer said Iraq will need "several tens of billions" of dollars from abroad to rebuild the country and revive its economy.

Bill Self has a lot of things to worry about as he prepares for his first season as Kansas men's basketball coach. But one of his most important tasks may also be one of his easiest.
Self savvy at the line; focuses on free throws
be one of his assistants. Self needs to turn the Jayhawks into a competent free throw-shooting team. Mere competence at the line last season would have brought Kansas a national championship.
Nobody sent that memo to last year's Jayhawks, who missed an anew-inspiring 18 of 30 free throws in the 81-78 national championship game loss to Syracuse.
Making 12 of 30 free throws is great if you're 10 years old. There's probably a few 10-year-olds out there who can make 16 out of 30, which is all it would have taken for Kansas to run up a third NCAA championship banner in Allen Fieldhouse.
champions are what they are — "Free throws are what they are — they're free pitches," Self said. "They should be bonus points."
Hearken.
When former coach Roy Williams left for North Carolina, he took an impressive record that included four Final Four appearances. But he may also have taken a knack for coaching teams that can't knock down free throws.
Kansas shot 66 percent or worse from the line four of the last five years, topping 70 percent only once.
Self's teams at his previous stop, Illinois, did considerably better. The Illini shot at least 70 percent from the line during each of Self's three years there, including an impressive 74 percent mark in 2001-02.
Free throw shooting should be easy, but Self knows it's an important fundamental to emphasize.
"Late in the game, missing the front end of a 1-and-1 is the same as a turnover," he said. "Your goal would be to make more free throws than your opponents shoot. That would be a goal of ours each and every year."
So how does Self go about coaching free throws in practice?

"I love putting guys under pressure situations," Self said. "I love making them feel totally uncomfortable. I love making them think."
How do you do that?
How do you do that? "There's a lot of things," he said. "The way we do it is, usually in between drills, put everybody on the free throw line. The team has to make 80 percent, or the whole team runs. Anything just to put pressure on them."
But free throws aren't something Self wants to dwell on with limited practice time. He expects his players to work on shooting them on their own.
shooting them on their knees.
"We have to emphasize it," he said, "but the same time, you don't just bury your guys, saying, 'We've gotta do this, we've gotta do that.' No, we've got to work on it through repetition, and we'll have so much confidence that it'll just come easy in the games."
Self wants the Hawks to shoot for a 75 percent mark at the line.
"But in order to do that," he said, "you've got to have big guys who can make free throws, because the big guys are the ones that get fouled the majority of the time."

Golfers brave the hot conditions as season nears

Kansas football team fired up, but not overheated
By Ryan Greene rgreee@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The 2003 season does not start for another three days for the Kansas football team, but it's trying to combat one of the toughest opponents around — a record heat wave.
With temperatures over the past week having peaked in the triple-digit range, coaches and trainers have to monitor the athletes closely during full-
contact practices with pads and helmets.
"Heat and humidity this time of year is a fact of life here on the Great Plains," Coach Mark Mangino said. "We know that and can't do anything about it, so what we have to do is take good care of our players and take precautions."
cautions. The football staff has been doing all it can, This includes going through gallons upon gallons of water and Gatorade, as well as having a trainer on the field during practice with a hand-held thermometer, frequently updating Mangino of the heat and humidity.
Never has practicing in extreme heat been watched so carefully than the past few years.
In 2001, Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Korey Stringer died of heat stroke 15 hours after collapsing during training camp.
When the 355-pound Stringer was brought to the Immanuel村 Joseph's- Mayo Health Center in Mankato,
Minn., his body temperature had reached 108.8 degrees. Later that summer, Rashidi Wheeler, a defensive back at Northwestern University, collapsed during a voluntary offseason conditioning session and died of similar causes.

Dan Ferguson, Medicine Lodge junior, is one of the top competitors on the cross country team. Ferguson will start off this year's season Sept. 6 at Rimrock Farm.
Runner dreams of basketball
Kit Leffler/Kansar
Like many kids from small Kansas towns, Dan Ferguson dreamed of wearing a Kansas jersey and draining threes in Allen Fieldhouse.
Ferguson, Medicine Lodge junior, transferred from Pratt Community College last fall where he was an All-American in the steeplechase, a 3,000 meter race with three 36-inch hurdles and one water barrier. He also was a member of the basketball team.
In Allen Fieldhouse. He never got to fulfill his childhood dream of playing at Allen Fieldhouse. Instead, he is making his mark on the Kansas cross country team.
Kansas "I always saw myself wearing a KU jersey, I just always dreamed it would be for basketball instead of running," he said.
After junior college, Ferguson planned to follow his junior college
cross country coach who took a job at Southwest Texas State University. However, the coach took an assistant position on the University of Colorado cross country team and Ferguson transferred to Kansas.
"Last fall, Dan kind of came in on short notice and did a great job," Doug Clark, assistant coach said. "He was one of our top seven guys in the important meets."
Clark said he was excited about Ferguson's potential this year.
"Dan's had some unfortunate injuries at really bad times in the season last year," Clark said. "We're really lucky to have him here. He's a dedicated and disciplined athlete who is still developing as a runner and a team leader."
Ferguson said after a year of adjusting to being at Kansas, he was prepared to make a bigger impact on the team this year.
"I feel like I'm more a part of this team now," he said. "I've set some pretty high goals for myself."
Ferguson, who finished 60th at last year's conference meet, said his goal this year was to be in the top 25 in the conference, and remain healthy for the district and NCAA meets.
Ferguson sustained two injuries last year, which kept him from competing at full strength. Before last year's district meet he sprained his ankle. During the outdoor track season, he collided with a barrier on the third lap of the steepele chase at the conference meet.
"If I can keep focused and stay healthy, I believe I can really help the team out," he said.
Ferguson admitted that although his focus changed from basketball to running, he still occasionally plays in pick up games with his teammates.
"Chris Jones is pretty good, and Steve Vockroid has a wicked bankshot," he said. "But I could still school them all."

Hernandez, the team's opening-day starter, is out for the season and will need "Tommy John" surgery to replace a torn ligament. The Royals do not expect him back before the middle of next season manager Tony Pena said.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Kansas City Royals placed right-handers Runnelsy Hernandez and Kevin Appier on the 15-day disabled list on yesterday, both with elbow injuries.

A day after the Royals acquired him in a trade with Cleveland, Anderson — with plenty of support from Sweeney and Aaron Guiel — gave his new team six solid innings in a 9-2 win over the Texas Rangers.
"For him to come in and throw the ball like he did — that's definitely a big emotional lift for our team," said Sweeney, who went 3-for-5 after getting just one hit in his previous 13 at-bats. "If Brian can give us six more games like that, that will be just what we need."
Sweeney and Guiel each homered and drove in four runs as the Royals stayed one game back of the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central.
Anderson (10-10) pitched six innings, giving up two runs and four hits. He struck out three and walked none.
"When you come to a new team, your main feeling is not wanting to screw up what they've got going — but that's negative thinking," Anderson said. "So you tell yourself you want to come in and do what you can to help."
Anderson retired the first 11 68-62 batters before Alex Rodriguez sin- gled with two outs in the fourth inning and Rafael Palmeiro followed with a two-run homer to right field that cut Kansas City's lead to 3-2.
City's lead Jeremy Affelt relieved Anderson to start the seventh, striking out five in two shutout innings, before Curtis Leskanie
came in to pitch the ninth.

Gueli, whose four RBIs were a career high, went 3-for-5. He homered off starter R.A. Dickey (8-6) in Kansas
City's three-run third and ignited a six-run sixth with a two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded.
The homer came on a 3-0 count, when Dickey grooved a fastball — not knowing that Royals manager Tony Pena had told Guiel to swing away.
"I took it for granted that he was going to take a strike, and I threw a BP fastball in there," Dickey said. "He did just what he
should have done with it, if he was going to swing away. It took me totally by surprise."

"I probably took a thousand swings
today trying to get back on track," Sweeneysaid.
The Royals led 3-2 when Dickey opened the sixth by walking Raul Ianez, giving up Ken Harvey's bloop single and hitting Angel Berroa with a pitch to load the bases with one out.
Aaron Fultz relieved Dickey and struck out Brent Mayne, but Guiel chased him with his two-run single. Joe Randa singled off Garcia, driving in Berroa before Sweeney hit his first homer since June 16.
Randa went 2-for-4, extending his hitting streak to nine games with a third-inning double. Berroa doubled twice and went 2-for-3.

Rodriguez and Einar Diaz had two hits each for Texas. Notes: Palmeiro's 521st career homer tied him for 13th on baseball's list of leaders, along with Willie McCovey and Ted Williams. He has 38 home runs against the Royals, the most ever by any player.
Moyer picks up 16th victory over Tampa Bay
The Associated Presse
SEATTLE (AP) — Jamie Moyer pitched seven innings for his first victory in three weeks and Carlos Guillen hit a three-run homer and drove in a career-high five runs as the Seattle Mariners snapped a season-high six-game losing streak with a 9-3 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays last night.
Guillen and Dan Wilson each added two-run singles in the seventh as Seattle went ahead 9-3, scoring five runs on three hits. Tampa Bay relievers Brandon Backe and Jesus Colome combined to issued five walks that inning, one intentional.

Moyer (16-6) won for the first time since Aug. 5, finally securing his 16th win after a loss and two starts without a decision. He allowed three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and no walks.
After falling behind 3-0 in the first on a three-run homer by Aubrey Huff, Moyer settled and held the Devil Rays scoreless on four hits over the next six innings.
He was as crafty as ever, too. Moyer ended the sixth by striking out Damian Rolls on a 74-mph breaking ball, and ended Tampa Bay's side of the seventh bv

Padres trade White to Royals
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) - The San Diego Padres traded All-Star outfielder Rondell White to the Kansas City Royals for two minor league pitchers yesterday.
The trade came shortly after the Padres acquired outfielder Brian Giles, who grew up in the San Diego area, from the Pittsburgh Pirates for left-hander Oliver Perez, minor league outfielder Jason Bay and a player to be named.
named. The Padres acquired lefty Chris Tierney and right-hander Brian Sanches from Kansas City in the deal for White.
White goes from a team that's been in last place since April to a team that's just one game behind the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central race.
White was obtained from the New York Yankees in a spring training deal for outfielder Bubba Trammell and minor league left-hander Mark Phillips.
The Padres had been looking to move White for some time. He's making $5 mil-
hon this year and is engible for free agency after the season.
The Padres will send some cash to Kansas City, but will also save some money on White's salary that they can apply to Giles, who will earn a little more than $1 million the rest of the season.
S
Tierney, a seventh-round draft pick in 2001, was 5-11 with a 4.38 ERA in 26 starts for Class A Wilmington this season.
Sanches, a second-round pick in 1999, was 1-5 with a 3.16 ERA and two saves in 38 games for Double-A Wichita.
White was hitting.278 with 18 homers and 66 RBIs.

Chiefs Gonzalez hurts knee, hopes to return soon
The Associated Press
Early medical outlook good for the tight end
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez injured his left knee during practice yesterday when he was hit while reaching for a pass.
Coach Dick Vermeil said early indications were that the injury did not threaten the All-Pro's career or season. "I think it will be short term, but that's a first look," Vermeil said. The coach said Gonzalez was twisting to reach for a pass thrown behind him when he was hit at the same time. "You hate that part of this and shreds."
will and you hate it more when it's a high caliber and quality football player and a great person," Vermeil said.
Vermeil said Gonzalez's injury did not appear to be as serious as a knee injury he suffered two years

"He strained his knee, but there was no swelling and it wasn't loose," Vermeil said. A Chiefs' spokesman said late yesterday afternoon there would be no further updates on Gonzalez's condition until today.

Members of the KU women's Rugby club play in a 2000 match. This fall, the club is gearing up for match play against other Big 12 schools.The team is also going to California and Texas for tournaments.
Women's rugby tackles new year
By Jason Elmquist
correspondents@kansan.com
kansan correspondent
After more than a decade in action the women's rugby team at the University of Kansas is still kicking.
Last year, women's rugby celebrated the 10 year "reunion" of its first season. Under the leadership of president Lui Love, vice president Jenny Peck and player coach Sarah Ratzl萨, this full contact sport will kick off another season this fall.
"As a player it is a hard, intimidating and aggressive sport," said Love. "I started to play rugby as a way to make relationships and to get into shape."
The team's season started a week before school with practices, in preparation for eight or nine individual games with the Jayhawks competing against other Big 12 teams. The team also participates in tournaments in Texas, California and two or three tournaments during the fall semester.
The team's practices and home games are located at Westwick Rugby Complex off Kansas Highway 10. A map to the complex along with a game schedule can be found on the Web site www.jayhawkrugby.com which is under construction.
The sport receives much of its funding through a service the team runs called 'Rent-A-Rugger.' Members of the community pay $10 an hour to rent out members of the rugby team to perform services such as baby-sitting, raking leaves or mowing lawns. The University then matches that amount and gives the team funding.
Women golfers look forward to new year in Big 12
"All KU women's sports are geared to enhance the health and welfare of women," said Love.
Anyone interested in more information about the women's rugby team can contact Peck at 760-3400, Love at 218-5773 or e-mail them at kuwomenrugby@hotmail.com.

Husky players visit birthday party
The Associated Press
(U-WIRE) DEKALB, III. — Northern Illinois University football's Dan Sheldon races down the sideline and is downed by the ultraquick Jacob Winter. Who, you ask?
Sheldon, NIU's wide receiver/punt returner and running back Michael Turner lined up to play football on June 14. This time the players were not dodging 250-pound linebackers, but beetty 7-year-olds.
"Jacob became a big fan last year because of the football team's success," said Jacob's father, Jim. "So we arranged for them to come to his birthday party."
Jacob watched the Huskies defeat Wake Forest in his first NIU football game from the bleachers
of Huskie Stadium. However, the bleachers did not bring Jacob close enough to the players.
close through the play.
Wolf Shafer, the son of NIU football defensive coordinator Scott Shafer, played baseball with Jacob's older brother Josh last summer. So, Jim asked Scott Shafer if he would ask Sheldon and Turner to come to Jacob's birthday party.
Sheldon, Turner and the rest of the NIU football squad had been conditioning Monday through Thursday in June. Being asked to go to a 7-year-old's birthday party caught Sheldon off-guard.
"It was an odd request," Sheldon said. "We didn't really know what to expect when we got there."
Jim measured off his backyard in five-yard increments. Half of a
tootball field, end zone and all,
was substituted for the Winter's
backyard. Field goal posts made of
PVC pipe goaled off the
makehift field. All that was missing
were 18 7-year-olds and two
Huskie football players.
The 228-pound senior running back and 5-foot-11 junior wideout coached and quarterbacked each of the teams.
Sheldon said the game was like playing sandlot football when he was a kid.
"We ran trick plays like double-reverse passes," Sheldon said. "It was a lot of fun."
The punishing game of two-hand-touch football had taken its toll on two of the Huskies' top offensive threats. Nevertheless, enough fuel remained in the players tanks after the game to autograph mini-footballs and take a picture with all the kids.
Each player's success last season left an impression on Jacob, but Sheldon edged Turner out in the voting for Jacob's favorite player.
"I like Dan Sheldon because he is really fast and because he returns punts," Jacob said.
Jacob believes NIU will do well this year, and is looking forward to seeing another victory in NIU's season opener.
At the end of the day, the kids chased the players' car down the street, waving goodbye as Sheldon and Turner headed back down the road to reality.
"I just can't think of a way to thank these guys enough," Jim Winter said.
FOOTBALL/Players dealing with extreme summer heat at practices CONTINUED FROM 1B
Despite everything that has happened in recent years, the Jayhawks are confident they are taking proper care of their bodies in the extreme weather, especially the bigger guys, like 275-pound senior left tackle Adrian Jones.
"As far as me personally, I'm somewhat used to it by now, coming from Texas with the hot heat," Jones said. "We've been hydrating correctly and taking the normal precautions to make sure everyone's OK."
Just as the weather in Lawrence refuses to change lately, the Jayhawks' upcoming schedule stays the same as well. Instead of making excuses, the players realize there is no option but to tough it out.
"It's been like 105 some days, but we just keep fighting out there because we're gonna play at six o'clock this Saturday and you have to be prepared," sophomore running back Clark Green said.
Come Saturday evening, the
"As far as me personally, I'm somewhat used to it by now, coming from Texas with the hot heat."
Adrian Jones Senior left tackle
forecast calls for more of the same weather. Northwestern has been holding training
camp in Kenosha, Wis., where the climate and weather is slightly milder.
Even though the Jayhawks will have braved the heat and adapted to it, Mangino refuses to rely on it as an advantage towards getting a win.
"Any time you're leaning on the weather for an advantage to win a game you're in trouble," Mangino said. "And we're not going to do that."
BERLIN/Self's Jayhawks need players to be shooting solidly at the line
Which brings us to Jeff Graves, the projected starter at center. "J-Rizzle" shot just 57.6 percent at the line last year, including 2-of-7 against Syracuse. What if Graves becomes a target for abuse when he gets the ball inside or pulls down a
rebound?
"I'm confident that he'll shoot much better than that," Self said. "If you're a big guy such as Jeff, if you do your job correctly, you're going to get 40 percent of your points from the free throw line."
For Kansas fans sick of white-
knuckle moments every time a Jayhawk steps to the line, the future looks good. Whether it says more about the coaching staffs or the players involved, Self's record as a free throw-shooting coach bests Williams' by an appreciable margin.
Given a chance to win a national title at the free throw line, Self's Kansas teams just may do what Williams' Jayhawks could not.
Berlin is a Leawood senior in journalism.
CONTINUED FROM 1B
"Richmond McGee is punting better than we thought he would be punting the ball right now, and that came as a complete surprise to us coming into camp," Brown said. "Richmond will be the punter — he's been really consistent. I was hesitant because of the importance of kicking off, but he has been able to do both."
The sophomore walk-on McGee handled kickoffs for Texas last season but also wanted to take on the added role of punting this season. Taylor Landin was expected by many to assume the role of starting punter, but McGee won the spot.
Brown pointed out the play of kicker Richmond McGee and offensive lineman Will Allen.
Allen, who was slated to be the starting center, sprained his right thumb, his snapping hand. Instead of not being able to play center for the rest of the season, Allen learned to snap the ball with his left hand, and has rarely had a bad snap in practice. Allen will start at right guard, and will also back-up junior Jason Glynn at center.
Longhorn team impresses coach
(U-WIRE) AUSTIN, Texas University of Texas football coach Mack Brown was upbeat at Monday's press conference, looking forward to the new season and calling the fall two-a-days the best one he has had at the university.
The Associated Press
A worry at the offensive line is the inexperience of the players. Left guard Tillman Holloway is the only senior in the group, while Glynn and left tackle Jonathan Scott are the only others who have started games.
"Studying practice film, watching them compete, I feel like they're inexperienced, so
there are probably going to be some mistakes," Brown said. "Our depth situation is a huge concern going into the game from what I hoped it would be."
Roy helps his Heisman hopes
Brown cited depth issues on both sides of the ball, as he hoped to be able to play two-deep, but said that neither side is ready for that.
Wide Receiver Roy Williams will also play special teams this season as a member of the punt block team. Williams has set high sights, and his goal is five blocked punts for the season.
Heisman voters may notice as well, as the last wide receiver to win the trophy, Michigan's Charles Woodson, also played special teams.
A Taste of the NFL
The New Mexico game is set for Sunday at 6 p.m., and that will be the first time most players have played on the day that is normally reserved for the pros. Defensive tackle Rodrique Wright said it is the first Sunday game he's played since Little League baseball and is treating the game like it's an NFL game
"I'm excited to be playing on Sunday. We're pretty much going to be the only team, so all eyes are going to be on us." Wright said. Lobos "two-headed monster"
New Mexico State, who lost to Texas 41-7 in 2001, finished second in the Sunbelt conference behind North Texas last season. The Aggies have a two strong quarterbacks, with Paul Dombrowski and Buck Pierce.
"What you do is prepare for what you think they're going to call, and if you feel there's an emphasis on one quarterback, you work towards that while he's in the game." Brown said. "It's really hard to prepare two offenses."

Experts doubt Missouri troubles will scare off basketball recruits
The Associated Press
Reports of investigations into the Missouri men's basketball program haven't hurt recruitment, but that could change quickly if the basketball program faces major punishment, recruiting experts said yesterday.
coach Quin Singer The Tigers have received oral commitments from four highly-regarded high school seniors for the 2004-05 season — forwards Kalen Grimes of Hazelwood Central in suburban St. Louis, Glen Dandridge of Mt.

Missouri's recruiting success comes as the program is under investigation by the NCAA and by an internal panel now led by electrical engineering professor
Michael Devaney, who said he wants to assure high-caliber academics as well as athletic success. Meanwhile, the FBI sought and received tapes of former Missouri guard Ricky Clemons' phone conversations while he was recently serving a jail sentence for an incident involving his ex-girlfriend.

"The family hopes everything works out and they have confidence it will get cleared up," Green said. "He's not wavering a bit."
Green said the family was impressed with Snyder. "He's remarkably intelligent and prepared and organized. He certainly has the qualities that attract you."
Professor leads Mizzou investigation
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The professor named to lead an investigation of the University of Missouri men's basketball program was described yesterday as fair, tough, thorough — a "straight shooter" Eagle Scout.
The Associated Press
He is neither hostile to Tiger athletics nor particularly a sports fan, friends and family said of Michael Devaney, professor of electrical engineering who has taught at the Columbia campus since 1969.
Devaney, 60, waded yesterday into the controversial assignment handed to him by Elson Floyd, the university system president. He was meeting with university lawyers to get a better sense of his authority while pledging to do his own investigating and analysis of allegations of academic cheating in the basketball program.
Floyd said Monday night he wanted Devaney to lead a "continuation, extension and amplification" of an investigation started in late July by the athletic
department, after the ex-girlfriend of former Tigers point guard Ricky Clemons said he received improper academic help.

gram. The NCAA is also investigating, and Floyd and other university officials pledged to continue cooperating with that probe.
yesterday saying he welcomed the expansion of the investigation "and view it as a vehicle to expedite and further validate the process we are going through right now as an athletic department."
Coach Quin Snyder, who had repeatedly declined comment for weeks, issued a statement
Colleagues on the Faculty Council said they trust Devaney to run a thorough and fair investigation, and that his findings, whatever they are, would be respected.
"Mike's just a real straight shooter," said Rex Campbell, professor of rural sociology
Baylor basketball loses top three scorers
The Associated Press
That's how junior guard John Lucas III describes his decision to transfer from beleguered Baylor to Oklahoma State.
WACO, Texas (AP) - Strictly business.
Lucas visited Oklahoma State over the weekend and said he liked the atmosphere in the college town of Stillwater, as well as the fans and the school.
"It was the first time it ever felt like it was the right thing to do," Lucas told The Associated Press on Monday night from the Stillwater, Okla., campus. "This was a business move."
All three of the Bears' top scorers from last season have decided to transfer in the wake of the university's self-imposed probation following revelations of major NCAA violations in the Big 12 Conference program.
Junior post player Lawrence Roberts transferred to Mississippi State, while Lucas and
Kenny Taylor are staying in the Big 12, Lucas at Oklahoma State and Taylor at Texas.
and Taylor at Texas.
The Big 12 announced Monday that Baylor players transferring to other league schools wouldn't lose a season of eligibility. That means Lucas and Taylor could play against their old team this season.
"The council was careful to clarify in its vote that the action was based upon the unique circumstances presented in the Bayor situation," Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said of the decision by the league's Council of Faculty Athletics Representatives.
tives.
Baylor President Robert Sloan Jr. offered all players a release from their scholarships Aug. 8 when he announced major violations had been found in the basketball program. Coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton resigned.
The school placed itself on a two-year probation and won't
participate in any postseason tournaments next season, including the Big 12 tournament. CAA 10
Sloan asked the NCAA to waive its rule that players transferring within Division I schools sit out one year before being eligible. The NCAA granted that waiver last week, but said conference rules would still apply.
Baylor launched an internal inquiry into possible NCAA violations in July, after allegations surfaced of improper payments to players following the disappearance of junior Patrick Dennehy.
once they wusd Lucas, who said he would start classes at Oklahoma State on Tuesday,said he liked Baylor as a school. But he wanted the opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament.
Roberts signed a letter of intent last week with Mississippi State and started classes at the SEC school.

Dennehy's body was found July 25, and former Baylor player Carlton Dotson is charged with murder.
murder. Baylor has seven scholarship players committed to remaining on the basketball team for the upcoming season.
Junior forward Harvey Thomas, sophomore forward Tommy Swanson and freshman guard Carl Marshall all started classes Monday at Baylor. They join four other players who had already committed to staying.
already committed "We have seven scholarship players on campus right now," Baylor sports information director Heath Nielsen confirmed Monday night. "That includes Harvey, Marshall and Swanson."
Seniors R.T. Guinn, Matt Sayman and Terrance Thomas were all present Friday when the school introduced new coach Scott Drew. Junior Ellis Kidd Jr. also committed to staying after Drew's hiring.

Horoscope
Today's Birthday (Aug. 27).
You may start your year wondering how you'll do everything on your lists, but you have no need to worry. You'll be so powerful, you'll surpass even your own expectations. Dream BIG!
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 5
You like to be at the head of the pack. This time, concentration is required. Self-discipline is also helpful. But most of all, just be willing to serve.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a9
After all you've been through, it may be difficult to believe that someone loves you completely. Believe it!
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is an 8
Finish a household project before you start anything new. You won't have enough time or money to do everything at once.
Others may think you're being way too careful and critical. If you
take time to get every answer right, you'll win their respect.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5
Great wealth can be yours, as you've always known. The challenge isn't getting it; it's keeping it in a safe place. Take good care of others and you'll take care of yourself.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 10
You're calling the shots, setting the goals and listing the priorities. Try not to be overly critical with those who are lagging behind.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 4
You're in a contemplative phase, and that can be good. However, don't criticize yourself or your own work too much. That would be counterproductive.

Today is a 5
If you have a problem following or $ \mathrm{C}\sum t $ , that problem will surface now. The most painless way to get through this phase is to simply do what you're told. If you want extra points, do it cheerfully and quickly.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19) Today is a 9
A wonderful journey is possible. All it takes is a little planning.Well, a lot of planning, actually. But it's doable.Get started.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 5
You may astonish your friends by how conservative you've become. When it comes to conserving your resources, you're developing expertise. This is good.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8
You've heard of soul mates, no doubt. You're about to have the experience. Whether this is the first time or one of many times with an old familiar friend, it's great.

Women's soccer coach finds speed as team's weapon
By Nikki Nugent
nnuget@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Trying to keep up with the University of Kansas women's soccer team this season may be tougher than ever.
In a press conference yesterday, women's soccer coach Mark Francis said the team was the most talented he had coached at the University. They might be the fastest, too.
Francis said speed would be an important factor for the team, which was very young defensively, but full of talent. Though it may take time for the defense to gel, it has the potential to be very good, he said.
"We have a lot of speed in the

back, which is good because if we do get caught out of position a little bit, tactically especially, we have the speed to recover," he said.
Francis said he had taken note
of three defensive newcomers,
Nikki Alvarez, Wichita freshman,
Lacey Novak, Overland Park
freshman, and Holly Gault,
Spring Hill freshman.
A quick defense should allow a more threatening attack up front, where the team is solid, with seven players competing for three starting spots. The team has never been in the position in which the starters for the first game were unknown, he said.
"It's not because nobody's good enough to start, it's that we feel like we've got several people that could start in those spots," he said.
play a prominent role at the forward spot again this year. He said Smith's time trials proved she was back at her game. Her times have even been faster than last year.
Francis said Caroline Smith, Edina, Minn., sophomore, has bounced back from last year's injury with a vengeance and will
yeah.
"I think that's a credit to Caroline and how hard she's worked," he said. "The training staff and the strength staff did a great job getting her back."
With everything seemingly falling into place, the only thing left is to go out and play the games. Francis said it took more than talent to be successful.
"You have got to have team chemistry, which I think we have," he said. "You've also got to have a little bit of luck."

Chastain, Hamm, Scurry highlight U.S. World Cup team
The Associated Press
Brandi Chastain, Briana Scurry and Mia Hamm, three stars of the 1999 championship team, were selected yesterday to the U.S. squad for this year's Women's World Cup.

Heinrichs picked 12 players from the '99 squad that beat China in a penalty kick shootout to win the championship before a soldout Rose Bowl. Chastain put home the winning kick after Scurry made a critical save in the shootout.

The 20 players have a combined 116 games of World Cup experience.

Fraternity for women blames lack of housing for small recruitment, end of colony
On Tuesday, while other sororites were celebrating their bid day national officers from the Zeta Tau Alpha fraternity for women announced that it has closed its University of Kansas colony.
"The girls and I are disappointed," said Carrie Robertson, president of Zeta Tau Alpha's University of Kansas chapter. "But we understand."
Zeta Tau Alpha National President Julia M. Hill said the fraternity wanted to build a strong chapter at the University, but membership and recruitment numbers had been disappointing.
"Being small isn't necessarily the best thing for a sorority on this campus," she said. "They weren't going to put us through that."
brought that.
Last September, when the colonizing
effort began, the Zeta Tau Alpha pledged over 160 members. By May, that number was down to 128. Since then, membership has dwindled to 85.
In addition, Anja Winikka, Overland Park junior, confirmed that Zeta Tau Alpha pledged 16 new members in its first formal recruitment Tuesday, but quota was 45. The colony was unable to reach the its goal of sustaining 160 members.
Though it was supposed to have five years to work towards obtaining a charter, the national organization decided to pull
the plug on the colony. "We had outstanding women in our colony, and it breaks our hearts to let them go." Hill said in a press release. "However, it was apparent that the colony would continue to struggle and it would have been even more difficult to make this decision at a later date."

Lesley Humphreys, Ashland, junior, peered into a student's personal telescope last night. Humphreys said she came to Lindley Hall out of curiosity.
Astronomy majors and three astronomy and physics professors, Barbara Anthony-Twarog, Bruce Twarog and Steve Shawl set up five telescopes on the lawn beside Lindley.

Twarog said Facilities Operations informed the event's organizers that support planks were removed from the roof's floor when it was renovated last year. Lighting was also removed.

Computer problems continue

Kansas staff writer
Fighting computer viruses and worms seems to be a never-ending battle for University of Kansas information technology professionals.
9 professional With about 17,000 computers connected to the University network, their efforts trying to defend system users takes place on a large battlefield.
Jenny Mehmedovic, coordinator of information technology policy and planning, said problems like widespread worms would continue on such a large network, with so many unknowns in cyberspace.
Mehmedovic said the same easy connection to the Internet users enjoy through the University could also hurt them because they don't necessarily know to whom they are connected.
know to whom they are connected. Three main nuisances have been plaguing the University system since early August: the MS Blaster worm, the Sobig.Fe-mail worm and the Nachi worm.
Allison Lopez, external relations coordinator of information services, said every new virus or worm posed a unique problem.
Mehmedovic said system administrators were actually dealing with more attacks than people might realize.
"There's an unprecedented maliciousness to propel these worms into cyberspace," Lopez said. "They're very active because they take a new approach. With every generation of viruses and worms, we have to sit down and start our learning process all over again."

Joel Hartenbower, president of AM/PM PC Services, said his computer repair company has worked on about 300 computers since the MSBlaster worm appeared in mid-August.
He credited the recent influx in worms and viruses to three causes. First, users on broadband connections such as DSL or cable modems don't have a good firewall. Second, users don't have an antivirus program or it is outdated. Finally, Microsoft users don't update their computer regularly at windowsupdate.microsoft.com, he said.

NEWS in brief
Hemenway gives 8 awards; 2 Kemper recipients remain
Eight more University of Kansas professors are $5,000 richer.
Yesterday Chancellor Robert Hemenway's "surprise patrol" recognized Tracy Russo, an assistant professor of communication studies at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park. Russo was the 18th Kemper award winner to receive an oversized check.
This week the patrol made its rounds off of the Lawrence Campus.
On Monday, the "surprise patrol" visited the medical center in Kansas City Kan., delivering awards to seven professors.
Monday's winners were: Michael Hoeflich, professor of law; Bob Klein, professor of anatomy and cell biology; Amy O'Brien-Ladner, associate professor of pulmonary and critical care; John Staniunas, associate professor of theater and film; Eric Vernberg, professor of human development and family life; Judith Widen, associate professor of audiology and Don Warster, professor of American history.
The University will have awarded $100,000 to 20 professors by Sept. 15. The "surprise patrol" will present two more awards.

Blackboard errors frustrate students

The Sobig worm isn't the only thing causing computer problems at the University of Kansas.
Blackboard, the online teaching aid, is experiencing problems that are slowing its response time and causing frustrations for students and teachers alike. Though it hasn't stopped working completely, Blackboard's slowness has made it frustrating and difficult to use.

Robert Stafford, 60, was dead on arrival at the nearby Hutchinson Hospital.
The 1.53 p.m. shooting came during a search by officers from Reno, Harvey and McPherson counties.
A Reno County sheriff's captain found the woman's sport utility vehicle parked in a cul-de-sac northwest of Hutchinson at 1:18 p.m., Stofer said.
“Initially, we couldn't tell if she was in the vehicle.” Stofer said. “We called for additional officers. While waiting and surveying the area, the officers heard a gunshot.”

Controversy clouds committee meeting

A heated debate over a proposed blood drive bill in the Students Rights committee highlighted the first Student Senate meetings of the year last night.
meetings of the year, and
The bill, to allot $1,496 on
behalf of the community blood
drive for advertising in The University Daily Kansan, found
opposition from gay rights advocates who found the bill discriminatory.
The opposition to the bill centered on one of the Food and Drug Administration regulations for giving blood. According to the FDA, any man who has had sexual intercourse with another man since 1977, is disqualified from giving blood.
The bill was initially passed, then re-opened by motion, then tabled for two weeks until the next committee meeting.
next committee meeting
Proponents of the bill made a plea to again re-open the bill because if tabled, the deadline for advertising in the Kansan would pass, and the bill would be void.
After much discussion a and compromise in language to a friendly amendment, the bill was re-opened and finally passed. Because it is a friendly amendment, the bill can be amended throughout the process. The full Student Senate will vote on the bill during next week's session.
The friendly-amendment added a mandatory $500 campaign to raise awareness about the FDA's policy for those who want to give blood.
The initial word choice of the friendly-amendment would have called the FDA policy discriminatory, but was not acceptable because it would have made that campaign partisan, and against rules and regulations for funding.
The argument is that the University of Kansas code of student rights and regulations says there
cannot be discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Travis Weller, student rights committee member and a former chair of the committee, questioned what message incoming freshman would take from a bill that gave money to a program that excluded certain members of the student body from participating.
Kyle Johnson, student executive chairman said the discrimination came from the federal government not the University. And according to Johnson, the University's general counsel has agreed that giving funds for blood drive advertising does not break University code.

Put alcohol back where students can be safe
It is hard to believe that just a few years ago the University of Kansas had its very own bar in the Jaybowl. That's right. The University, like so many other college campuses, allowed students 21 and over to enjoy a beer in the student union.
This has not always been the University's alcohol policy. Throughout the years, the University has implemented many different "social norms" campaigns to curb drinking-related injuries. The University has tried everything from having greek chapters pledge to be alcohol free, to the "0-5 drinks" posters found all around campus.
So far, all of these attempts have done next to nothing to decrease binge drinking at the University. The worst campaign was eliminating a safe place for students to drink on campus.
The justifications for banning the additional revenue source are weak and need to be reconsidered.
The crackdown on alcohol was a direct result of a fatal drinking and driving accident that occurred off campus. What the administration doesn't publicize is that this accident did not stem from drinking at the jaybowl. In fact, it quite possibly could have been prevented had the student been drinking in a place such as the student union, because most students live within walking distance or can catch a bus to get home safely.
safety. Regrettably, the driver in the accident had been enjoying a night out at an off-campus location. Consequently, the University's quick and initial response was to prohibit any further drinking on campus by students. This was not the best response.
The most recent campaign has been the "0-5 drinks" strategy that was recently said to be ineffective by administrators. Additionally, a Harvard University study concluded that binge drinking on campuses participating in these campaigns did not decrease, and, in some cases, drinking increased on campus. This proves the University needs to come up with a better plan.
better plan. The University should allow alcohol back in the Jaybowl. It's best for students because they don't have to be responsible for finding a designated driver or for paying the cost of a cab.
It would even be an additional revenue source for the University to combat the stifling tuition. Not to mention, this would be an excellent way to revitalize the Hawk's Nest and to increase student traffic to the newly remodeled Kansas Union.
Let's get the facts straight. The University of Kansas campus is surrounded by bars, and students can tailgate at football games. College students drink excessively, and sometimes drive intoxicated, despite free transportation options such as SafeRide.
If the administration wants an effective plan to decrease drinking-related accidents, it should open the doors of the Jaybowl, the safest place for students to enjoy responsible drinking.

perspective
Elite Aviator G. W. Bush fails with scrutinous toy collectors
The Sept. 15 arrival of the "Elite Force Aviator: George W. Bush—U.S. President and Naval Aviator" dolls has sparked bitter debate in the action-figure community. Collectors have been squaring off in heated public debates trying to determine this new Blue Box toy's place in the toy world. The Hong Kong-based company generously forwarded advanced copies of the Bush action figure to the media for the purposes of evaluating it.
I have compared and contrasted Aviator Bush with my own toy collection. Most of these toys haven't seen the light of day since the Reagan administration, but I had to see how they would compete against Aviator Bush. Let's dissect whom the president's action figure has been up against lately:
1. George "Aviator" Bush vs. Optimus Prime
Like all Transformers, Optimus Prime enjoys the ability to change from his usual robot self into an ordinary device that the human eye tends to overlook. (When he turns into a weapon of mass destruction, he's barely visible.) Aviator Bush demonstrates his own ability to shift between two states: pseudo-compassionate and neo-conservative.
Advantage: Optimus Prime proves to be more than meets the eye.
2. Aviator Bush vs. Malibu Ken
The day I heard Ken was "going Hawaii,"I was crushed. The heterosexual community had clearly lost one of
COMMENTARY
Ben McCarthy opinion@hansan.com
its leaders. Needless to say, Malibu Ken still made a great companion for Barbie despite her revolving, insecure phases (who can forget her dreaded "Gangsta Bitch Bitch" phase, involved in an abusive relationship with *Daredevil* star Colin Farrell). Aviator Bush swears he has "never been to Hawaii." Hmmm. The cowboy hat... the boots... who are you kidding, George?
He-Man, aka Prince Adam, did a fantastic job of keeping his true identity a secret from his father. Aviator Bush failed to keep secret the fact that he rode Roger Ailes, captain of the S.S. Fox News, into office. He-Man gets points not only for being able to keep a "secret," but also using correct subject-verb agreement ("I have the power!") when intimidating his enemies, a la Hulk Hogan ("What's it gonna be, brother?").
Advantage: Malibu Ken and his penchant for leather boots.
Speaking of He-Man's "secret," only now do I realize how many positive homosexual protagonists were present during cartoons during my childhood
3. Aviator Bush vs, He-Man
Advantage: He-Man and his "friend," Man-at-Arms
4. Aviator Bush vs. Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes in New Jack City)
The Nino Brown action figure is a marvelous clone of Snipes during his blockbuster action days of the early '90s. Both action figures hold large amounts of unlimited, illegal power to wield at their disposal. If you pull on the Nino Brown doll, it reminds us that it's "Always business... never personal." When Aviator Bush is pressed to say something, he gets defensive and asks you to quit messing with his home state. Unfortunately, I did not have time to see if Aviator Bush could match Nino in a "how much blow can you snort" contest.
Advantage: Aviator Bush, by a (pow-
dered) nose
Conclusion: Aviator Bush does deserve a place in your toy collection. That is if your toy collection has a section reserved for toys whose toy father helped them get every job they've ever had (Note: for some, this section of your toy collection may be labeled as "Johnson County kids"). Still, I'd recommend that Blue Box Toys leave the Aviator Bush action figure as it. The only change I might make is to the toy's current classification. I understand wanting to call Aviator Bush an "action figure," but the word "puppet" seems to be a much more appropriate term.

Students take advantage of prizes health assessments at Wellness Fair

Kansan staff writer
ALEXANDER ROGERS
Ted Hammond, St. Louis freshman, and Brynn White, Overland Park freshman, staggered around during the Wellness Fair in front of Stauffer-Flint yesterday. The two were under the influence of Fatal Vision goggles, which the KU Public Safety Office uses as an educational tool to give the perception of being drunk. "Oh my god, I feel like I'm wasted," White said.
Adrienne Hynek got a free massage and checked her cholesterol, all on the way to class.
Hynek, Hanover senior, was one of the many students who took part in the Wellness Fair yesterday on the lawn of Stauffer Flint Hall, west of Watson Library.
The fair, sponsored by Watkins Memorial Health Center, featured more than 20 informational booths and services. Students could test their cholesterol, calculate their body mass index or learn about the Watkins pharmacy.
"I just stopped for a free massage on the way to class," Hynek said. "Then I got caught up in the other stuff."
The free massages, snacks and door prizes caught the eye of Hynek and other students.
other stun.
The other stuff that interested Hynek included a new four-step health risk assessment program. The program tested a participant's bone density, cholesterol, body mass index and caloric needs. A graduate student from the University of Kansas Medical Center would then tabulate the test results and discuss them with the participant.
After completing the assessment, participants had the opportunity to fill out a 20-question wellness survey. Those who chose to fill out the survey received a $20 Target gift certificate.
That was more than enough motivation for Hynek.
"The incentives they're offering are a great idea," she said. "Students do need to know this stuff, but we normally wouldn't take the time to get the tests done."

Both campus and community organizations took part in the fair. Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the Community Mercantile had booths at the fair.
Bill Smith, director of health promotions at Watkins, said the purpose of the fair was to give students valuable information about their health.
"We were trying to give a broad spectrum of health and wellness," Smith said. "Our main focus was to provide students with the information they need to stay healthy."

Local groups fill recycling deficit in Lawrence area
By Kevin Kampwirth
kkampwirth@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For a town perceived to be as environmentally aware as Lawrence, it's surprisingly lacking in an area that concerns many environmentalists — recycling.
The City of Lawrence doesn't have a city-mandated recycling program, an absence that has irked the city's environmentally conscious residents for years. Because of this, Lawrence residents who want to recycle need to seek out other options.
Jim Para-Cremer, senior administrator of day services for Community Living Opportunities, said he heard the public outcry.
"It's puzzling," Para-Cremer said. "You look at Lawrence and it seems to be better educated and more environmentally aware than many places, yet we don't have a city-run program."
In response to the clamor for a way to recycle, Para-Cremer, as a member of Community Living Opportunities, has taken steps of his own. CLO provides jobs mentally handicapped people who might not be able to find a job elsewhere.
In the early 1990's, Para-Cremer and CLO began a recycling program in which, for a fee of $15 a month, Lawrence residents interested in recycling could sign up and CLO would come by and pick up their recyclable refuse every week.
Since the program's inception, it has done fairly well.
"We've fluctuated anywhere from 150 to 30 customers at any given time," Para-Cremer said. "Right now we have about 102."
After the recycling is picked up, workers for the CLO bring it to Wal-Mart. 3300 Iowa St., which offers a community recycling program. There, the recycling is sorted and then shipped to a recycling plant in Kansas City, Mo.
Another option for Lawrence residents looking to recycle is Jeff Joseph, who provides a curbside recycling service similar to that of the CLO.
For nearly two years, Joseph has picked up recyclable goods from any Lawrence resident who would like to recycle. He too then brings it to Wal-Mart. His hopes are that if he does all the leg-work, people will be more inclined to recycle.
right it is.
Joseph and Para-Cremer said it was perplexing to them that Lawrence doesn't have a city-run recycling program, but both share the same hunch as to why.
recycle.
"All they have to do is put it out at the curb," he said. "I'll pick it up and take it. It just takes the extra step out of their day of taking it to Wal-Mart."
the Mantle "Money." Joseph said. "A lot of it may be that the city thinks it's too expensive to run."
City employees called for this article referred to the City of Lawrence's Web site, www lawrenceks.org. According to the
Web site, the main benefit of a city-run curbside recycling program would be the convenience it would give residents, but "the overall increase in the recycling rate would be very small and at considerable cost."
Instead of a curbside recycling program, Lawrence has a Solid Waste Division, that reduces selected recyclable materials from the waste stream. With the help of this division, the city's Web site claims to have achieved a 30 percent recycling rate, which is higher than the national average.
The city's Web site also said that a curbside recycling program would add no more than 3.5 percent to the city's recycling rate "because much of what would be picked up curbside is already collected through existing programs."
Despite this, there are many Lawrence residents who would still like to see a curbside program.
"Even if a program will increase recycling by only 3 percent, it's still worth it," said Tom Abell, Denver senior.
But Joseph said Abell and those like him may have to wait a while to see a curbside program in Lawrence.
"The city told me two years ago that they have no intention of starting a curbside service," Joseph said. "Nothing has changed since then."

Bush limits civilian pay raise, blames terrorism, economy
In a letter to congressional leaders. Bush said he was using his authority to change the pay structure in times of "national emergency or serious economic
WASHINGTON — Citing a national emergency that has existed since the 2001 terrorist attacks, President Bush said yesterday he will cut the pay raises that most civilian federal employees were to receive in January.
conditions" to limit raises to 2 percent.
percent Federal employees covered by the government's general schedule pay system were to receive a 2.7 percent across-the-board boost of basic pay and also an increase based on private-sector wages in the areas where they work, called locality pay.
About 1.2 million of the 1.8 million civilian federal work force are under the general schedule system and would be
affected by the change, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
Bush said granting those full raises would cost about $11 billion more than he had proposed in his budget.
Bush set the across-the-board raise at 1.5 percent, with the remaining 0.5 percent for locality pay.
Military personnel aren't affected. Bush has proposed a 4.1 percent raise for them starting in January.

Sorority seeks awareness

Wheel Dr.
Litona Bounevongxay makes a careful distinction when she describes herself.
"I personally consider myself both Asian and American," the Winfield junior said.
A desire to identify with the first part of her concise self-description pushed her toward Alpha Phil Gamma, the sorority she helped found at the University of Kansas.
Last year, in Alpha Phi Gamma's first year at the University, 14 women sought a charter for the Asian-affiliated sorority. After successfully chartering the sorority, the new sorority is ready to increase its public presence on campus. The group wants to increase philanthropy, public
events and getting information about the sorority out.
Alpha Phi Gamma was founded nationally in 1994 to be a non-discriminatory sorority "under the common goal of Asian-American awareness in the university and community" according to the national chapter's Web site.
nature
Linda Mai, Garden City senior and Alpha Phi Gamma vice-president, said she never intended to join a sorority. But Alpha Phi Gamma's unique appeal got her attention.
"When I look at us, I don't see Asian; it's just a way for us not to forget our heritage." Mai said.
According to the University Office of Institutional Research and Planning Reports, 666 students claimed Asian heritage in 2001, up from 486 in 1991.
But Mal said the Asian Community isn't a homogeneous
group. People often forget the diversity that exists within the continent, Mal said.
"Some people think Asia is a country," she said.
Alpha PhI Gamma is interested in raising awareness of the various Asian cultures on campus.
"Just by creating a sorority and attending events that others put on, it makes others see there is a growing Asian community," Bounevongxay said.
Recruitment isn't confined to a certain period of time, like other campus sororities. It's a yearlong process based on interest throughout the year. Mai said the sorority looked for outgoing women with heart.
"As long as they try with us, we want to try with them," Mai said.

ZETA/ Members blame lack of house for low interest

quaint women. Amy Waldron, Overland Park senior and president of the Kappa Delta sorority, blamed Zeta Tau Alpha's lack of a house as the main reason they failed to attract enough members.
"I think it's very unfortunate that the Zetas aren't going to get their charter with chapters that have
houses," she said.
houses, she said. Waldron said that when she joined a sorority, every chapter had a house, so it didn't affect her choice of sorotities.
In the end, Waldron said that the climate at the University of Kansas just wasn't right for a Zeta Tau Alpha colony at this time.
Hill and two Zeta Tau Alpha travelling leadership consultants stayed on campus yesterday to meet with former members and close the Zeta Tau Alpha office.
Robertson said she didn't know
of any plans for a closing ceremony.
"It's not like we have to have a big party and say tearful farewells," she said. "Everyone's still here. We just won't meet Monday nights in the Union for chapter anymore."
Zeta Tau Alpha was established in 1898 at what is now Longwood University in Farmville, Va. Zeta Tau Alpha has 143 active collegiate chapters and 180,000 initiated members.

said. "It's great to see what you love so much is appreciated by everybody."
The reason Mars appeared so brightly last night was because of its orbital position in relation to Earth and the sun.
MARS/ Potential for rain doesn't discourage viewers
Both Mars and Earth orbit the sun in nearly circular orbits. The planets travel in these orbits at different speeds and come close to one another about every 15 to 17 years.
Last night, when Mars was
near its closest to earth, it was also in opposition, meaning the sun. Earth and Mars are in a line.
Because the distance between Mars and the sun is so large, Earth does not leave a shadow on Mars. An eclipse does not occur when the sun, Earth and Mars line up.
Because Mars' orbit is elliptical, it is not always at an equal distance from the sun. It comes closest to the sun every 15 to 17 years.
Last night Mars was the closest to the sun and near the closest in its orbit to Earth.
Anthony-Twarog said the average distance between Earth and Mars when Mars was in opposition was 78 million kilometers or about 48 million miles. However, last night Mars was 55.8 million kilometers or about 35 million miles.

"It was good enough to have a taste of the cosmos," said Ethan Fosse, Manhattan senior.
The night left planet watchers in awe.

7. Design Process
The main dining area of Paradise Cafe lies in disarray while the establishment undergoes construction. The renovation began Monday and is scheduled to end in three weeks.
Paradise lost, but not for long
By Amanda Kim Stairrett
astairrett@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A better stage, beer dispensing and doughnuts will be just a few of the new features that the Paradise Cafe will have when it reopens after three weeks of renovations.
The cafe, 728 Massachusetts St., closed Monday to prepare for the renovations.
the school. Schuyler Lister, Paradise Cafe's owner, hopes the additions will lure the late-night bar crowd. A new bakery will stay open past normal hours.
normal hours.
Lister has not finalized the schedule but he estimated a new doughnut shop will be open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The restaurant's bar will remain open from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m., Monday through Friday. Live musicians take the stage around 10 p.m.
Inside, the cafe will be redecorated. A wall containing two aquariums will be added.
Another addition that may be added to Paradise Cafe is a glycol beer system. A glycol beer system is a chiller that delivers cool beer to the tap from a walk-in refrigerator.
During the remodeling, the cafe's facade will undergo little change. The entrance will move from its current place, the south door, down the sidewalk to the north door, the original entryway of the 19-year-old establishment. The south door will become a new sound booth.
Entryways were switched in 1992 after Creation Station, located above Paradise Cafe, moved to the opposite end of the building. Listeralso owns Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St.
Paradise Cafe's threshold isn't the only thing that is going back in time. The menu will also undergo changes. Lister said the current menu would be scaled down to its roots. These meals include Breakfast Enchiladas and the Farmer's Breakfast: two eggs, hash browns and toast.
"It has always been original," Lister said. "You can't find some of these dishes anywhere else."
However, the menu's makeover will still contain several meals popular now and the restaurant will bring back items dropped from the menu through occasional specials.
Lister said this specials menu has not been determined yet, but one of these dishes could be the BR5-49: two eggs, Wacky Jack pancakes, grits and bacon. The breakfast dish was named after a local band, friends of Lister's.
about restoring Paradise Cafe's menu and image because, before taking ownership a year ago, he was a fan of the cafe.
Lister said he felt passionate
"I have been a customer since the beginning," he said.
The cafe is also holds personal nostalgia for Lister — he first met his fiance at the restaurant.
He said regular dinors are "bummed out" about the three-week closing.
Lister said he appreciated Lawrence's culture and felt it was important to return Paradise Cafe to its proud beginning.
He said the city is a hotbed for music and the arts and he wanted the cafe to be the new creative center.
Billy Spears, a Lawrence fiddle player who has played at the cafe, said the Paradise Cafe is important for local musicians.
"Anytime you perform in front of a live audience, it adds good experience," Spears said.
According to Lister, enlarging the stage will make the cafe more accommodating to live music performances.
"My goal with Paradise is to create an atmosphere and venue all built around creativity and originality," Lister said.

Mangino's team deserves support
There is absolutely nothing better than going to a Kansas basketball game and seeing the excitement and energy generated by the Phog phanatics.
There is nothing that can even compare to how much Kansas basketball fans love and respect their team.
Now, two days away from the football team's first game of the year, the question is: Where is the excitement and energy for this team? In two days, Kansas football opens its season with a very winnable game against the Northwestern Wildcats.
A stranger would never know it though.
it through.
It's understandable that fans find it difficult to cheer for a team that went 2-10 last season, and failed to win a game in the Big 12 Conference. But there is a lot more going for the 2003 Jayhawks than there was last year.
The first is coach Mark Mangino, who has given the University, his players and the Lawrence community the time and energy to make the football team as good as it can be, right now.
good as it can be. Right.
The second is a team that is hungry to play and hungry to win.
That attitude is a direct reflection of their leader, Mangino.
This team has top notch facilities and top notch people running the team. Now all the team is missing are top notch fans.
There is no way every student on the University of Kansas campus is a fair-weather fan. So, where is the capacity crowd every Saturday to see Kansas play? It's there in the winter, when the bas

When big-time recruits come to visit Kansas and consider playing football here, they should see a stadium filled to capacity with crimson and blue. They should see a student section as wild and crazy as the student section at basketball games.
bassReturn game.
Through Tuesday, 25,700 tickets were sold for the Kansas-Northwestern football game.
Memorial Stadium has a capacity of 50,250. How can Kansas recruit against other schools in the Big 12 if the football stadium is only half full for the season opener?
Mangino will never be able to get the players he wants if the fans don't respond.
Not every team can start a winner, and the Kansas football team is no exception. The team is at the beginning of what could be a very long and sometimes painful rebuilding process.
rebuilding process.
But this year the team is a little further along than last. Next year, the program will be further along still.
However, a standing room only crowd every Saturday would help speed up the process more than anyone could imagine.

does Grand Theft Auto imitate life,
or does life imitate Grand Theft Auto?
LOS ANGELES — A half-dozen women gather in a house to help each other improve their lives, all the while being filmed for television.
New series mixes soaps, reality
The Associated Press
What sounds like a friendlier feminist version of "Big Brother" — "Big Sisterhood"? — may be even more groundbreaking. The
new syndicated series "Starting Over" promises to fuse reality TV with the daytime soap opera.
It also widely introduces the concept of "life coaches," individuals hired to guide people toward personal or professional fulfillment.
First, the concept for "Starting Over," which debuts Sept. 8 (check listings for time, station). It's from the producers of MTV's
"Real World," who a decade ago pioneered the idea of making entertainment out of juiced-up everyday life.
As the reality craze grew, Bunim-Murray Productions was repeatedly approached about bringing a version of "Real World" to daytime television. Jonathan Murray said in an interview.

Fueled, armed, and ready to go from 0 to 200 knots or mph in 3 seconds. This cockpit could be yours soon after graduating from KU. You don't need a specific major or a spectacular GPA. So, what do you need?
YOUR PLANE IS WAITING
The basic physical qualifications and the training, education, and confidence gained through successful completion of the NROTC program at KU. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you're eligible and there is no military obligation in the first year. You can also apply for a scholarship that could pay for all your tuition, and fees provide a monthly allowance of up to $400, and a $300 per semester book allowance. Upon graduation you'll have the training and education you need to assume the responsibility of a Navy or Marine Corps officer. Then it could be off to flight school, or maybe you're more interested in becoming an officer in a nuclear submarine, a new Aegis destroyer or cruiser, or becoming a Navy SEAL.

Tennis, golf fill basketball vacuum
As promised, I am doing part two of a series on why Jayhawk fans should care about fall sports and not allow the thought of basketball season swirl through their minds constantly. I hope that many of you have stopped repeating the question "When does basketball season start?" at my request.
Here are other "nonrevenue" fall sports that Kansas fans should give some effort to follow and support these athletes.
Cross Country
Although only two meets are in the state, they are within the next three weeks. The Jayhawks host their only meet in Lawrence on Sept. 6 at the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm, just northwest of Lawrence. The following weekend, the Kansas cross country team will compete in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational to Topeka. In a Division I sport like cross country, it would be nice for these athletes to compete in front of a favorable crowd, let alone a crowd itself. If there is an opportunity for Kansas to show itself as a superior school, it's always a plus. The Kansas women's team finished sixth in the Midwest Regional, the highest finish since 1994, and the men's team took seventh, which is the best since 1996.
The big misconception about golf is that it's boring to watch. That may be so on television, but to watch live golf is actually interesting. I went to the 2002 U.S. Women's Open in Hutchinson. Other than my feet hurting from wearing uncomfortable shoes, seeing golfers making great shots and being outside makes it a rewarding experience. That's why I recommend that Jayhawk fans check out the men's and women's golf teams at Alvamar Country Club. The men's team finished 19th in the Central Regional last year. Senior Chris Ward competed in the U.S. Amateur Championships last week and was only three strokes away from being in the top 64, where they compete in head-to-head match play. Although the women's team finished 11th in the Big 12 Championships, look for the team to rise under second year coach Megan Menzel. Senior Jennifer Bawanan was named to the All-America Scholar Team last season.
Tennis
I feel bad for the tennis team. Instead of playing their home matches in Lawrence (like they did at Alvamar Tennis Club two seasons ago), they must drive 25 miles west on 1-70 to the Wood Valley Racquet Club. I understand that people would not want to make a long drive, but for these tennis players it would be nice to play in front of a favorable Jayhawk crowd. If the team plays in front of some sort of fan base, I guarantee you they will feel a little more confident in playing in these matches, instead of hearing dead air after making good shots. Senior and all conference player Courtney Steinbock returns along with five other Jayhawks. Four freshmen come to Lawrence, including three from Canada, Brazil, and Mexico.

Kansas backs to split time
Randle impresses coaches in camp, will challenge Green for playing opportunities
By Ryan Greene
By Ryan Greene
rgreeene@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Just when sophomore running back Clark Green thought his starting job was secure with the departure of Reggie Duncan, another back jockeying for the starting role is nipping at his heels.
In 10 starts last season Green racked up 813 rushing yards and another 408 receiving, while splitting time in the backfield. But freshman John Randle will see some action this season after impressive showings at training camp.
"He will play and will get some carries," coach Mark Mangino said about Randle. "He will be out there. How much time, we don't know. We have to see the situation, how the game progresses, and what our needs are from the tailback in the game as it plays out."
Even though Randle has shot up the depth chart towards the tail end of training camp, right now his role is simply to be Green's backup, and he is using the opportunity to learn from his veteran teammates.
"They're all like my brothers, my family, they really help me out," Randle said. "I can't just run the ball anymore, you gotta find the holes and different reads, and different things you gotta look for in the defense coming at you."
In order for Kansas to be successful on the ground this season, it could end up being nice having the services of both Green and Randle, instead of one exclusive back. At 5-foot-11, 205 pounds, Green is a more punishing back who can get the tough yards up the middle on first down, second down, and short-yardage situations. On the contrary, the 6-foot, 175-pound Randle will be used for his speed in order to change the pace of the game.
game.
As a senior at Wichita Southeast High School, Randle was tabbed as the second ranked overall player in the state of Kansas by mokanfootball.com, as well as a member of the Top-11 in both The Topeka Capital-Journal and The Wichita Eagle. For Randle, facing Big 12 defenses this fall will be much different than the opposition he
was up against while rushing for 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns last season.
"Mainly just telling me to hold onto the ball is the main thing," Randle said. "They tell me everything will be quicker. Bigger guys out there, bigger guys to block, more people come swiping at the ball, coming from different directions at you."
Jealousy between the backs has yet to be an issue, which will make it easier for Randle to learn both on the field and from the sidelines, he said. Green, who has been one of Randle's biggest mentors in practice, believes one of the keys to their success is to keep learning from each other in game situations.
actions.
"Whoever's in there, if they have a good play, we're going to tell them good play or bad play." Green said. "You have to tell them what's wrong, what they did wrong, because one of us is going to be on the sideline and going to see it, and that's all you can do, and just help coach them."

Injury act shields athlete status
By Mike Norris
mnorris@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Injuries have always been a part of sports.
But this season you may not hear much about them.
That's because the federal Health Insurance Portable and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, was passed April 2003. It says no information can be disclosed from a hospital about any person's injury, including all athletes, unless that person signs a waiver first.
It also means coaches and trainers cannot talk to the media about the injury without permission from the athlete. If a player chooses, they can
even withhold the injury from a coach. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard doesn't see that being a problem.
With less information being disclosed about injuries than in the past, some fans might not know if their favorite player will play.
This will be the first year all Kansas varsity sports will be effected by the act. But it might also have an effect on fans.
"I can't see an athlete not wanting a coach to know," he said. "At least I hope it goes in that direction."
Another possibility is national media trying to pry medical information from hospitals.
Dennis McCulloch, director of public and government relations at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said it had happened before, but the hospital would adhere to HIPPA despite intense national media scrutiny.
"We take it very seriously," he said.
We take some of its possible downfalls, the act was set-up to provide the athlete with the privacy they deserve, said KU media relations assistant Scott Meyer.
"It protects the student athlete more than in past times," he said.
In the past at the University of Kansas it was up to individual coaches to release any injury information.
Now more than ever, Meyer said it leveled the playing field.
"It makes the athletic department as a whole and all teams uniform," he said. "Now it's black and white. It saves
everyone's back."
While it may not be as easy for reporters to find out injury information, Meyer said it should put an end to any conflicting media injury reports.
So far athletics departments around the nation are just now trying to adjust to the new policy. It remains unclear what impact the act will have on coaches, players or the media.
But Bechard said the opportunity for athletes to decide if they wanted an injury to be public knowledge was better for them.
Kansas may not have to wait long to see how the new act plays out. Football, volleyball and women's soccer all begin action this weekend.

BARBECUE BASICS
Summer grilling requires savvy shopping and a knowledge of food and drink
Buying the right grill is almost as important as the food you grill. There are several businesses in town that offer affordable and portable grills.
10. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice and salad.

Can you sniff out a barbecue a mile away? Well, it's certainly in the air. It's also behind student houses and apartment complexes. Want to impress your friends with a backyard barbecue without breaking the bank? Here is your guide to throwing a great party on what we all can relate to a budget.
Before we get down to food, we must discuss the most important tool of the barbecue art: the grill. Target, 3201 Iowa St., and target.com have a selection of Weber grills that won't put you into debt and retail at around $60. If you plan on living with the same people throughout your time at the University of Kansas,

These grills are affordable and portable. The Weber One-Touch Kettle Grill and the Weber Smokey Joe Platinum Grill use charcoal and are priced at $59.99. The alternative to charcoal grills is the Weber Gas GoAnywhere Grill that is $59.99 and also portable. Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., and walmart.com also sell reasonably priced grills. Wal-Mart sells two grills under $30, a smaller version of the Weber Smokey Joe Grill and the Meco Sizzler Supreme Charcoal Grill. Wal-Mart carries a Sunbeam Charcoal grill priced just under $50. These three grills are great for students. They are easy to use, easy to clean and can follow you during your sometimes yearly residential moves. They fit neatly on most patios, decks and for those of you lucky enough to snag one of the ever popular Ohio Street houses, these grills are necessary for any backyard get-together. All Weber grills are available at www.weber.com.
Now, what to serve? Russ Bush in the HyVee meat department, 4000 W. Sixth St., suggests buying frozen chicken. The average cost for frozen chicken in Lawrence is $2.91 per pound; fresh chicken sells for $3.89 per pound. Bush says the frozen chicken is just as good as the fresh and buying in bulk is where the savings are. Just remember to allow time for the chicken to thaw thoroughly under appropriate conditions.
Whipping up a quick and easy marinade will upgrade your barbecue from ordinary to extraordinary. Combine soy sauce, crushed pineapple and pineapple juice in a blender and voila an instant marinade to wow your hungry friends. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. Marinating overnight will add even more zing.
You should probably think about a quick appetizer to have ready for when your friends start to stagger over in order to avoid early drunkenness. Chips and salsa are great, but why not whip up a quick and easy guacamole to accompany your store bought salsa? Simply buy the pre-packaged mix and just add avocados. Be sure to add chopped fresh tomatoes and red onions to add zest and bite.
Now for the sides. A quick side that will be sure to impress your friends is grilled ears of corn, or any vegetable that can stand up to your grill. You can save money by buying half of the corn you need and simply cut the corn in half and serve smaller portions. With a quick brushing of butter, a sprinkling of salt and pepper or some seasoned salt, the grilled corn will be slightly crunchy, a little smoky and sweet from the grill. Roasted red potatoes are also a quick and easy dish with lots of flavor. Look closely in your cupboard, you probably have all the necessary spices already.
If you don't have room on the grill, place about 20 quartered
small red potatoes in a 13 x 9inch pan, add a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil, some garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and you're done. Don't worry if you don't have the spices on hand, create your own mix. Almost anything will work as long as it's savory, not sweet — no cinnamon! Place in a 450 degree oven for 25-30 minutes and you're on your way to a delicious feast!
Now for a very important part to any backyard barbecue—the drinks. You could always save money and request the popular choice to many college parties and BYOB, bring your own beer for those of you who don't know. Or you can pick up a case or two, or three, however much
you may need, of cheap but crowd pleasing PBR, Pabst Blue Ribbon for those of you sophisticated college students. Two 12packs of PBR sell for just $12.95 with tax at Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St.
If you're planning on keeping the party going you may want to think about investing in a keg and just collecting some cash upon your guests' arrival. Be sure to have some non-alcoholic drinks on hand for your more reserved guests, underaged guests and designated drivers. This unofficial guide to the backyard barbecue will help make you the host or hostess with the most-est! Just be sure and wait for the temperature to drop to at least 102 degrees!

Good food as close as your microwave
By Brandi Garvin
bgarvin@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
Most of us remember a time when we loved macaroni and cheese. We relished in a wellboiled hot dog and couldn't live without our daily peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Well, those days are back. Dorm living has made food for 5-year-olds a dietary staple for 18-year-olds. We have found that mac-andcheese is a lifesaver. Hot dogs make life simple. And PB&J is acceptable at any meal. Ah, the joys of dorm room dining are upon us.
"We can just about have anything," Amanda Hubbell, Kingman sophomore, says. She and her roommate have a microwave and mini-fridge, as well as a freezer chest in their Corbin Hall
room. Hubbell's dorm room houses Lean Cuisines, Cheese Nips and ice cream among other treats.
While students tend to stock up on snack food, there are complete meals you can prepare in your dorm room. Prepare to dazzle your roommates and study buddies alike. Here are some recipes that are good enough to forego that late night call for Papa John's dorm special.
Now some might go to the obvious meals (popcorn, bagels and a pouch of ramen noodles), but with those same nonperishables, you could turn that popcorn into popcorn balls, those bagels into pizza, and that ramen into stir fry.
POPCORN BALLS
Start off by popping your
microwave popcorn and separating the kernels from the seeds. Then, in a microwave-safe bowl melt half a stick of butter and a half of a bag of marshmallows. Combine all ingredients and shape popcorn into balls. This recipe can be substituted with Rice Krispies cereal giving you homemade Rice Krispies Treats. I said it was going to be easy, not healthy.
PIZZA BAGELS
You need two basic toppings for a pizza: cheese and sauce. Anything on top of these two are optional. You can toast your bagel before putting on the toppings, but remember that toasters and toaster ovens are prohibited in the dorms so, toast at your own risk. Place bagel topped with sauce, cheese, and your
favorite toppings in the microwave. You may want to cover it with a paper towel to eliminate clean-up time. Microwave until cheese is melted to your liking. Presto! Cheesy pizza that's fresh and hot; just the way you like it!
stir frv
Pick up your favorite frozen veggies from your grocer's freezer. Microwave your veggies according to the directions on the package. Put your ramen in a bowl with water, cook until al dente, then pour out the remainder of the water. If you're having trouble with the ramen, you're a sad person. Read the directions. Add ramen seasoning and veggies to noodles. Put it back in the microwave for a few seconds to make sure all the flavors mix
well, and serve hot while watching anything decipherable on your 13-inch TV screen. Neither football nor basketball is recommended. Don't sit too close you could go blind!
Dining in your dorm room can be easy and beneficial. What if you're avoiding your nosy neighbor? What if you wake up, and can't make it to class because the sunlight is burning your eyes? These are not reasons you should be punished with microwave popcorn for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Other than these recipes, oatmeal, burritos and chicken fingers also microwave nicely. So shut your shade (I know there's only one window in those rooms). Turn down your lights, and experiment with your microwave. If all else fails, peanut butter and jelly to the rescue!

LEAVING HOME NOT ALWAYS STRESSFUL
With modern technologies, students and parents have fewer anxieties about leaving home
Phi Gamma Delta

University of Kansas
Brothers Stephan Maxwell, sophomore,and Kevin Maxwell, senior,stand near the 2000 Phi Gamma Delta composite picture,the year which their two older brothers were both in the fraternity.

The once heart-wrenching process of leaving home for college has become a time of anticipation and excitement for college bound students and their parents.
There were no tears in Nanette Maxwell's eyes when the last of her four sons departed for the University of Kansas.
"When our boys left for school, my husband and I felt like this is what we've been working for," Maxwell says. "We would have been more sad and disappointed if they weren't going to college."
Stephen Maxwell, Fairway sophomore and the youngest of the brothers, says his parents were more than ready to have some time to themselves. With his dad's new interest in gardening and his mother's travel business, his parents are too busy to mope around the house and think of the absence of their boys.
The boys no longer live at home, but visit during the holidays and summer vacation and when they're home they still have the same chores that they did in high school.
Like his brother, Kevin Maxwell didn't experience any anxiety or sadness from his parents when he left for the University four years ago. "My mom knew it was coming," the Fairway seniorsaid. "My older brothers softened her up, so it wasn't bad."
Students often find it difficult to change gears when they move back under their parent's roof.
Rules and regulations that existed at home disappear at school and make it extremely hard to readjust.
"When we're home, my dad still feels like he needs control of us," Kevin Maxwell says. "I still have to mow the lawn and help out around the house. All of which seem to preoccupy all of us when we return."
Dee Dee Warner, mother of four has enjoyed her time since her kids left home to attend the University. Warner has seen three of her children pull out of the family's driveway one last time before college.She had a difficult time when the first child left.Warner says separation becomes easier with a little time and adjustment.
"When my first child left, I sat in my driveway and cried," Warner says. "By the time the last one left, I was ready for them to go and get out of the house. Each time they come home to visit, they are more self-sufficient than the last time."
With extra time on her hands, Warner can concentrate and devote more time to her booming real estate career.
"I don't feel guilty spending time away from home anymore," she says.
College students will soon bombard her house, which is quiet and orderly for now. She only has a few months to rest before their Thanksgiving Break.
Warner's free time is not indefinite; all four of her children were home during the summer and will return again this fall.
Michael Warner, Dee Dee Warner's youngest son, kept in constant communication with
his parents after he left for school at the University. He talks to his mother at least twice a week, but he still misses a few things from home.
"I miss my golden retriever Brewsky, and I miss my mom's home cooked meals," the Shawnee Mission junior says. "She makes a mean plate of spaghetti."
In some extreme cases, students experience separation anxiety that requires them to seek counseling.
Linda Waxse, student counselor at Park University, deals with separation anxiety and
family relationships on a daily basis. She attributes positive relationships between college students and parents to constant contact between parent and child. She says that while contact is beneficial, excessive contact could be detrimental to the adjustment of new college students.
Waxse suggests three tips for students to help maintain an ongoing, constructive relationship with their parents:
"Being over-involved is a big problem for new students," Waxse says."Parents need to allow their kids to find new support systems at school."
Stay in constant contact with your parents
Develop a support system
- Participate in collegiate activities
Waxse attributes parents' current ease of their children leaving for school to advances in technology, which today's society embraces. Students are constantly using the Internet and most students have e-mail access from their homes. Because of this, students are prone to drop a random e-mail or receive one from their parents who are alone at home.

Don't succumb to homesickness
By Jacqueline Lenart
jlenart@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
If you're clicking your heels trying to escape the Land of Oz, calm down. It's only the first week of school. Homesickness is common and easy to solve but you have to help it along.
First, don't make any decisions while you're in distress. It's important to think through the issues you're facing and develop a plan of action, says Francis J. DeSalvo, director of KU Counseling and Psychological Services(CAPS). Your plan should address the problems you have with your current environment. Be specific when defining your stresses. Try to explore reasonable, new options and ask yourself why a new location would help. DeSalvo says there are more options than just stay or go, and remember that longing for home and routine is common for all students just in varying degrees.
not immature, it just has to do with adjusting to change."
CAPS offers counseling to students having a hard time adjusting. Counselors typically see students individually and try to help them understand the nature of their homesickness.
Kari Gustin, Elsworth resident assistant, went through sensitivity training and says the residents she works with have a big change to adjust to.
"It's hard because you're just thrown into this new experience in this strange room and you have to acclimate to that." Gustin recommends reaching out to a roommate or RA because they can help those who are struggling to find a niche.
"Students should keep in mind that it's a pretty natural process to feel homesick in a new setting," says DeSalvo. "They often think of it as a weakness or embarrassing, but all people experience some type of home-sickness at some point in their lives as they make changes. It's
Before drowning in your worries and locking yourself and your ramen noodles alone in your dorm room, keep in mind that homesickness is different for everyone. Here's your chance to resolve your weaknesses or redefine yourself in a new setting. You can go from a big geek to big man on campus, but it's up to you.
experience a loss of identity and worry about their status and class performance in their new environment.
"We try to encourage them to give it a good try not because we want to retain them, but because we want them to move forward having confidence in their decision so they can assuredly say they made the right choice," says DeSalvo. "We always want them running toward something new-not running away."
DeSalvo says there are different types of homesickness, but that each one can be cured. Some students long for their typical routine of home and familiar people, places and things. Others
Don't pack your bags quite yet, explore your options. Build relationships with those around you, whether just spending time with your RA or some new people, says Gustin. Make decisions that work for you, helping you to feel comfortable with your new surroundings. You may develop independence by calling home once a week or once a day, says DeSalvo.

The key is changing your role in becoming more independent and adult.Make sure that the nature of your contact with friends and family from home puts you in a more responsible role.
To contact CAPS, call 864-2767. The center is located in 2100 Watkins Memorial Health Center. CAPS is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday. Walk-ins are accepted but it's best to make an appointment to be seen in a timely manner.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
We all remember the first time—and hopefully the only time—we took exodus from our parents house and ventured into the college world. Mom sobbed, dad barked last-minute pearls of wisdom and we assured them both that we would call, visit and write home. But for many newbie Jayhawks, home may be too close for comfort.
Many of you newly-christened college students are only a 30-minute drive away, making it hard to create separation of family and freedom.
Heather Lichtenauer, Olathe freshman, moved into GSP-Corbin Hall and says her mother has bombarded her with phone calls ever since. "My mom cried the
entire way coming here," says Lichtenauer. "My mom and I were really close, so it was hard for her."
Lichtenauer says that even though she is out on her own, the close proximity between school and home does add pressure to not go too wild, especially being the elder of six siblings. "My mom always tells me that 'You're gonna' be the example for them," says Lichtenauer.
Whether spurred by encouraged sibling mentorship or separation anxiety, parental pressure to keep the shackles warm shouldn't hinder your ability to immerse yourself in the college experience (within legal reason, that is).
Marcia Epstein, director of the
Headquarters Counseling Center, 211 E. 8th St., Suite C, says that this type of struggle between lonely parents and liberated students is common and occurs differently for each family. She says that geographically close parents naturally plead for their children to visit home often, but sometimes it's OK to resist the urge to run home too early and often.
"Overall, people get the most personal growth when they can be as independent as they can," says Epstein. "I think there is a lot of benefit for those who can immerse themselves in the college experience."
Epstein also suggests having a trusted person around for times
when you need advice but want to resist calling home every time minor problems arise.
Lichtenauer says she hopes things will balance out after a month of being on her own. She says even though her mother does seem a little too eager to leave eight phone messages a day, it is comforting to know that if she needs something, she can go back home anytime.
As far as administering advice to others in her position, she warns not to be too hard on mom and dad for showing how much they miss you.
"As much as you want to be by yourself, just respect the fact that they're gonna' be nervous for you."

5 STEPS TO BETTER NUTRITION
Eating healthy is hard to do,but we'll try to simplify it for you.
By Lauren Reidy
lreidy@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
Let's face it, eating healthy can be hard to do. The residence hall cafeterias bombard us with appealing, but fat-filled dishes like fried chicken, cheesy casseroles and an assortment of desserts. After a late study session or a night out at the bars, nothing tastes better than a fresh, delivered pizza. And what fun is a trip to the grocery store without some sugary reward?
Unfortunately, there are consequences for indulging in these delicious treats.
"Based on self-reported measures of weight and height among 742 undergraduate KU students, it was found this past year that 22 percent were overweight and 5 percent obese," says Dr. Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
If you skip a meal and you're starving, you're likely to binge on unhealthy snacks or foods like pizza. If you frequently skip meals or over diet, you slow your metabolism, causing fatigue and even weight gain.
We decided to sit down with Watkins experts to ask how students could avoid the obesity trend. Together, we came up with these five, easy steps to building and maintaining good eating habits. Watkins also clued us in on some ways students can make healthy choices around campus.
STEP ONE: BE SELECTIVE
Just because Mrs. E's serves ice cream and french fries every night does not mean you have to eat them. In fact, thanks to H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. (Healthy Options for Movement, Exercise, Body Acceptance and Savvy Eating), the campus cafeterias and the Kansas and Burge Unions now serve healthy entrees at every meal. This task force has worked to ensure that students always have nutritional dining options.
"The residence halls and the Unions have foods with the logo,
Fresh and Hearty," says Ann Chapman, MS, RD., coordinator of Nutrition Services at Watkins. "Those foods are lighter and healthier."
Chapman, says students should combine the 'Fresh and Hearty' entrees with nutritional sides.
"You should try to eat fruits and vegetables," she says. "They're 80 to 90 percent water, but they're high in fiber so they fill you up without extra calories."
Strother says students should remember the food pyramid when selecting a meal.
"You want to make sure you get the appropriate servings from all the food groups," she says.
The pyramid's latest incarnation recommends that our daily diet should include:
six to 11 servings from the bread, cereal, rice and pasta group.
- three to five servings from the vegetable group.
- two to four servings from the fruit group.
- two to three servings from the milk, yogurt and cheese group.
- ditto for the meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts group.
Our advice? We know it's impossible to eat perfectly balanced meals all the time, but do it as often as you can. Limit the dessert. Come on, what fun would life be without the occasional piece of cheesecake?
STEP TWO: DON'T SKIP MEALS
We've all done it. Whether we've slept through our alarm and missed breakfast or been too busy studying to break for dinner, we've skipped at least one meal. But eating regular, balanced meals is a necessity, not a luxury.
"You really need three meals and two healthy snacks a day." Strother says. "Eating regular
meals gives your body fuel to run off of all day long. Your memory is much better and your focusing skills are more finely tuned when you've eaten."
Eating regular meals does more than provide you with energy and improve your mental agility. It can also prevent you from gaining weight.
"If you skip a meal and you're starving, you're likely to binge on unhealthy snacks or foods like pizza," Strother says. "If you frequently skip meals or over diet, you slow your metabolism, causing fatigue and even weight gain."
We suggest scheduling meals into your daily plan. If you regularly give yourself time to eat complete meals, you're more likely to do so.
STEP THREE: COUNT COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES
Counting the calories and fat grams in foods may seem like an easy way to eat healthy, but that's not enough.
"You can't just compare things calorie to calorie," Strother says. "When you eat complex carbohydrates, your body uses calories to digest them. If you drink pop or eat sweets, they don't require much energy for digestion. If you don't burn the calories off immediately, they turn more quickly to fat."
Try by-passing the low fat Ben & Jerry's ice cream for frozen yogurt. Craving cookies? Satisfy your sweet tooth with dried fruit.
STEP FOUR: EAT RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE EATING LATE
Okay, you've just finished studying for a huge test. It's 1 a.m. and you're famished. Or maybe you've just come back from a night out at the bars. We know what you're thinking, pizza delivery. It's quick, easy and delicious. It's also unhealthy.
"The student who does have weight gain here at KU,often doesn't get it come from the food at the residence halls," Strother says. "It comes from a combination of little exercise and pizza and beer late at night."
We could just say, 'don't eat after 8:00p.m.' and 'don't drink,' but we're realistic. We know you drink and we know that late night snacks are a necessary evil. We suggest the low calorie cocktails mentioned in Julie Jones' article and stocking up on low-fat snacks like pretzels and baked chips. They're not pizza, but they can still satisfy late-night hunger pains.
Students who don't make it to the grocery store can now visit the campus vending machines for healthy snacks. On August 25th, H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. and vendor, Treat America, began stocking all campus vending machines with eight healthy options called Better Bites.
"The first 8 'Better Bite' items that will appear in the vending machines will be Nature Valley Granola, Oatmeal Crisp, Peanuts, Sunflower Kernels, Fig Newtons, Mini Pretzels, Zoo Crackers, and
All Energy Trail Mix," Chapman says. "Sales will be evaluated monthly and items not selling well will be replaced with other preselected 'Better Bite' items."
STEP FIVE: LEARN TO COOK
Cooking your own, healthy meals is the key to eating right.
"Prepared foods may look good, but they cost more and have things you don't want, like extra calories and fat," Strother says. "Experiment with learning to cook. Try making meals with four ingredients or less. Remember, simple is better."
The Community Mercantile CO-OP, 901 Iowa, offers cooking classes throughout the year.
"Starting in September, we'll have six classes on topics like eating well on a busy day, cooking fish and international cooking," says Nancy O'Connor, director of Education and Community Outreach.
Class schedules and payment information are available at the Merc. Most classes are offered in the evenings and on Saturday.In October, the Merc will offer six additional classes.
"Our classes our designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of people," O'Connor says.
The skills learned in these classes and from recipe books can help you build a healthier lifestyle. You may not need to cook while living in the dorms, sororities or fraternities, but you certainly will as soon as you move out on your own.
No one is perfect. Even when we're passionately committed to eating right,we're bound to slip up every once in a while.The occasional piece of pizza is well worth it.Following these simple steps can help you build and maintain good eating habits over time. Your thoughts will be clearer,your body will be healthier and, we think you'll be happier.

Lose the weight, not the beer
By Julie Jones
jjones@kansan.com

Imagine innocently waking up one morning to begin your daily routine. You grab your pants from the closet or from the floor, put one leg in and then the other. You go to pull them around your waist when all of a sudden — gasp — they won't button anymore. You knew they were a teenys bit snug, but why had your oxygen started depleting before you finished zipping? Had they shrunk in the wash?
Maybe booze was the culprit behind your bloated stomach. Once your initial denial diminishes, know that several options exist; stop drinking altogether, continue habitual beer guzzling and multiply your belly rolls or start drinking smarter with low calorie, low carbohydrate beverages.
Though the first option, forgoing drinking entirely, is clearly the most effective choice, most students still want those night-caps, just not ones that add up to a daily dose of calories and carbs.
"I drink, I just try to drink lower calorie beers," says Christina Zarifa, Wichita senior. "They're better for me and they taste the
same. And, it keeps my pretty figure."
Surprisingly, ladies aren't the only ones worrying over those extra pounds. Guys also ask their bartenders for low calorie and low carbohydrate drinks.
"Guys care more about calories than girls do when they're ordering drinks," says Michael Horne, Quinton's bartender and Tulsa, Okla., senior.
So, should you jump on the bandwagon? Most definitely. There is a substantial difference between regular and light beers. Most beers average around 145 calories and 10 grams of carbohydrates. That's about one-third more calories and anywhere from double to quadruple more carbohydrates than light beers. So, if you have three to five drinks, you can cut out 150 to 250 calories and 24 to 35 grams of carbohydrates by switching to light beers.
Michelob Ultra Light contains the least of those unwanted gut contributors with 95 calories and 2.6 grams of carbohydrates per 12-ounce bottle. Miller Lite is runner-up with 96 calories and 3.2 grams of carbohydrates for every 12 ounces consumed. Coors Light is your next best bet, 12 ounces contain 102 calories and 5 grams of carbs.

Move over Dr. Atkins. South Beach is bringin' the Heat.
A few years ago, it was the diet of six to 11 servings per day from the wholesome grain group.
Then Dr. Atkins axed the bottom of the pyramid. Everyone had a sister, parent or friend who lost 40 pounds eliminating carbohydrates and gorging on steak, eggs and cheese. The Atkins diet worked, and worked fast. But now, we all know a sister, parent or friend who gave in and gained the weight back.
Written and designed by yet another physician, Dr. Arthur Agaston developed the current South Beach diet several years ago. As a well-known south Florida cardiologist, Agaston became concerned with obesity in his patients. The American Heart Association's recommended low fat, high carbohydrate diet was failing. Working with a dietician, Agaston
researched and created The Delicious, Doctor- Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss: The South Beach Diet.
South Beach encourages lean meat and low-fat cheese choices, allowing good carbs and banishing the bad ones. The difference: Good carbs equate with lower glycemic levels, leading to a lower increase in blood insulin and a generally fuller, more satisfied feeling after consumption. Examples of such foods include broccoli, peas, whole grains, pastas and beans. Of course, bad carbs include the entire fountain drink experience at Quick Trip, Sheridan's menu and every Krispy Kreme product.
Cutting calories remains the key. This is a nation surrounded and consumed by poor dietary choices, primarily obsessed with simple carbohydrate-laden foods. We can't seem to control the portions or cravings for these foods. Even when we attempt to substitute Original Lays for Baked, we manage to double our servings, double our calories.
Consume fewer calories and you will lose weight, no matter the method.

TRY SOMETHING NEW
Another routine day. Classes are done. You're walking back to home for a long afternoon of sitcom reruns. "What are all of the cool kids doing," you ask yourself. Then it hits you... "I need to get involved."
Ready to make a difference or just break up the monotony of bar-hopping? Take a look at some of the best-kept secret student organizations around campus...and some that you might already know about.
Scooter Hawks
00 KANSAS
OSK64
FEB MAY 1931
Web site: www.ku.edu/~scooters
President: Fally Ruzik. Journalism major. Minneapolis senior
The heat blanketing Mount Oread hardly fazes Fally Ruzik as she buzzes past campus pedestrians on her blue, motor-powered scooter. Her small, quick ride still stands out among the mass of walkers and bikers, but the number of mini-motor drivers is on the rise.
"There's a big jump from last year and there were a tremendous amount this summer," says Ruzik. "It's convenient and now there's a scooter store downtown."
Ruzik heads up the University's organization Scooter Hawks. The group aims to protect scooter rider's rights, safety and parking. "First and foremost we hope to promote open-mindedness about scooter and moped motorists," says Ruzik. "We're paving the road for a safer and more beneficial ride for scooters and mopeds alike."
So you're not one of KU's registered scooter and mo-ped motorists? Don't let that stop you from joining the cause. Ruzik says the club is open to all interested students and looks to
help organize a fall scooter awareness rally. "Scooter motorists deserve the same courtesy and respect as the other vehicles on the road but if you want to be treated like a car, you have to act like one," she says.
Newly organized in July, Scooter Hawks is already connected with Lawrence scooter store, Subsonic Scooters. The store discusses safety with the club and looks to stay active as partners in spreading scooter awareness.
If you want to quicken your trip to class, keep in mind all scooters and mo-peds must be registered with KU's parking department. Permits cost $20 a year or $13 per semester. The penalty of getting caught without one is a steep $20 fine.

Meetings are Tuesdays at 6 p.m. in the Kansas Union's International room. For details about campus parking restrictions visit www.ku.edu/~parking or call 864-7275.
OAKS

OAKS. Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers
Fally Ruzik, Minneapolis senior and Scooter Hawks president
OAKS was established for the approximately 4,000 nontraditional students that annually attend the University of Kansas. After a two-year break, they're busy gearing back up to help married students, students with children, veterans, students over the age of 25 and other nontraditional students.
Web site: www.ku.edu/~oaks
E-mail: oaks@ku.edu
"We are a group of these students that have gotten together for a social and academic network to ease nontraditional student life," says Paul VanCleave, OAKS President and non-traditional student. "OAKS' goal is to provide information and assistance to other nontraditional students."
To become a member of OAKS or to find more information, drop by the OAKS weekly Thursday brown bag lunch in the Kansas Union, Alcove B, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
VanCleave invites anyone interested to become involved in OAKS. Understanding the time constraints of nontraditional students is important, VanCleave says.

Soccer anyone? J-Porks is a casual, informal organization of students who gather to play soccer and pretty much do whatever tickles their fancy to have fun. Established about a year and a halfago, J-Porks (a play off of Jayhawks) started out as a group of students who liked to play soccer. The members decided to make an actual organization out of the fun-filled afternoons and grew to approximately 30 members. J-Porks' goal for the year is to raise $800 to enter and play in the Lawrence Soccer League.
Anyone who enjoys a friendly game of soccer can join in every Friday at 3:30 p.m. at the field behind Robinson Gymnasium. Is soccer not your thing? Stop by anyway. Ideue says they occasionally have B-B-Q and various other fun activities, and it's a great way to meet people
and talk. "Our team is kind of a communication space," Ideue says.

President Ryan Faulconer says Mock Trial was established seven years ago when a couple of KU law students, who as undergraduates participated in mock trials at other schools. The decided to start a team.The team has a tradition of being almost 100 percent student-run and organized with minimal faculty or school involvement. There are approximately 20 to 30 members,with a smaller percentage of members competing
at given competitions. The group practices Thursday and Sunday nights at 7:00 p.m. in the courtroom of Green Hall, and travels across the country to national competitions.
Mock Trial consists of a three hour mini-trial in a courtroom. Students act as witnesses and attorneys and must be prepared to represent either the prosecution or the defense. Schools compete head-to-head, each tournament consisting of four schools. Faulconer says that Mock Trial stands for learning about justice, the American trial advocacy system and the importance of legal knowledge. He most proud of the level of work that his team members put into both preparation and traveling and of the support from Student Senate, the school of law and the Kansas Trial Lawyers Associa- tion.
"We also represent the com petitive nature of KU and the excellence of our institution's many organizations when we travel across the country." Fulconer says. "We teach our members a great deal about not only the legal system, but public speaking. In general. For nonmembers at KU, we represent the University on a broad scale. Hopefully, we also play a small yet important role. In improving the future of America's legal system."
The organization's goal this year is to win the National Championship. Hard workers and students from diverse back grounds are welcome to attend the first meeting at 7:00 p.m. today in the courtroom at Green Hall.

KANSAS CITY A guide to the best that our neighbor to the east has to offer
story by becky rogers, illustrations by lindsev riechers.
Zipping up K-10 highway at speeds just slow enough not to get you stopped by the DeSoto Police,you can almost hear it in the background.
"Kansas City, Kansas City here I come." It has always been the place for students to go shopping for brands that can't be found in Lawrence, but it holds much more than that. Kansas City has a special flavor not found in most metropolises. From the mouth-watering barbecue and open-air markets, to the crack of a bat at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City is alive with things to do and places to see.
"We are large enough to have world class cultural amenities and major league sports with clubs like the Chiefs and Royals," says Leigh Elmore, editor of Kansas City Magazine. "But we are small enough to know your neighbors and do things with them. We are a friendlier city than some cities east of us," she says.
If you only go to Kansas City for the malls,you ought to think about making a detour to visit some of the city's other attractions.
ART
"Kansas City has a thriving cultural arts scene," Elmore says. "You can go to a different play every night of the month without seeing a repeat performance."
With more than 80 art galleries and 40 museums, as well as live theater, Kansas City is a mecca of the arts.

One of the top art galleries in the country, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art,4525 Oak St.,has an extensive European and
American art collection.
American art collection but is most well known for its Asian art collection. It is easy on your budget, too. Admission is free everyday, but try to schedule a stop on Friday when the Ford Motor Company foots the bill to special exhibitions and events. The museum is open Tuesday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.;
Friday,10 a.m.to 9 p.m.;Saturday,10 a.m.to 5 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.
The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, 4420 Warwick Blvd., is just up the road and caters to the growing contemporary art scene. The museum houses paintings by such artists as Jackson Pollock, Georgia O'Keeffe and Jasper Johns. Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
Another good place to find art is in the Crossroads District near I-35 and Truman Road on the first Friday of the month. On these days from 7 p.m.to 9 p.m., 45 art galleries in this area keep their doors open for people to peruse their collections. And nothing goes better with fine art than fine cuisine. The Crossroads district has some wonderful restaurants that can top off a nice evening.
Elmore, a frequent visitor at First Fridays, says it is one of his favorite things to do in Kansas City along with dining at Lydia's Italian Restaurant, 101 W.22 St., which is in the area. "Thousands converge on this area of town," he says.

Wyandotte Road, and California Pizza Kitchen, 4743 Pennsylvania Ave., all have homes at the Plaza. If you are looking for a place to spend an afternoon, this is it.
If you want more local flavor, check out The City Market located north of Downtown at 5th and Walnut streets. This is one of the largest farmer's markets in the Midwest. Here you can find the freshest produce and flowers and enjoy fine dining and shopping. The City Market features the third largest open air concert venue in Kansas City. Acts such as The Barenaked Ladies and John Mayer have played here. This Friday, Evanesence and Cold are on the ticket.
The City Market is also home to The Arabia Steamboat Museum. Here, treasure excavated from the Great White Arabia, which sank in the Missouri River more than 140 years ago, is on display.
If food is your thing, try the farmer's market. Every Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, local farmers sell their produce from stalls in the City Market's open court. The farmer's market is open Saturdays from 7 a.m to 5 p.m.; Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.and Wednesdays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The best time to go is on Wednesdays when crowds are thinner and the market features organic foods and live music.
With its ornate 95-foot ceiling and grandiose 3,500 pound chandeliers, Union Station, located near I-35 and Pershing Road, is another gem of Kansas City. Built in 1914, this working train station was renovated in 1999, restoring the original décor. Shops and restaurants line the area. It also has a
dimensional and three-dimensional movie theater, a live stage theater and Science City. an interactive science museum for both kids and adults.
"Lots have not had the experience of going inside. A lot of people are under the impression that it is consumed by Science City, but that is only a fraction of it," Elmore says. "It is one of the grandest interior spaces in Kansas City. If you haven't seen it you need to and then you will be a life-long fan."
BARBECUE &
JAZZ
Barbecue is what makes Kansas City famous. Finger-licking, bib-wearing, need-a-wetwipe-when-you're-done barbecue. And the messier the better.
Barbecue is sacred here and there are a lot of good places to get it. But it all began in 1908. According to www.experiencekc.com, that was when Henry Perry began selling succulent ribs out of an old trolley barn at 19th and Highland streets. He charged 25 cents for a slab wrapped in newsprint. Local legends Charlie Bryant and George Gates got their start working for Perry and soon launched their own restaurants.
Charlie Bryant and his brother, Arthur, opened Arthur Bryant's at 1727 Brooklyn Ave. The restaurant is a favorite of columnist Calvin Trillin and Presidents Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman have eaten there. The secret's in the sauce when it comes to their great-tasting barbecue.
"The original sauce is totally unlike anything, anywhere. It's tangy and tart. You just
1
ve to taste it to know what I'm t a l k i n g a b o u t , " Willis Simpson, night manager, says. Gates and his son went in to business at around the same time, opening the doors
of Gates and Sons Bar-B-Q at 19th and Vine streets.
Other places that have made a name for themselves are KC Masterpiece Barbecue & Grill, 4747 Wyandotte St. and Fiorella's Jack Stack World Class, 13418 Charlotte St.
Jazz is another Kansas City tradition. Eighteenth and Vine streets is the historic part of town that has come to be equated with the jazz scene. Now home to the American Jazz Museum and the American Negro Leagues Museum, both at 1616 East 18th St., this is still the best place to learn about the history of jazz music, especially in its heyday in 1920s Kansas City. The museum showcases some of the legends that have graced this town, such as Charlie Parker and Count Basie. Attached to the museum is the Blue Room, one of Kansas City's premier jazz spots. Admission to the Blue Room is just $5.00. It is open Thursday through Saturday, 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and on Monday nights starting at 5:30 p.m.
Another great place to hear
jazz in Kansas City is Jardine's at 4536 Main St., just off the Plaza. Jardine's features live jazz bands five nights a week.
NIGHTLIFE
In the Roaring '20s Kansas City was known as the spot to have a good time. Not much has changed since then except the clothes. Party spots, such as Westport and the casino riverboats offer a good time for those who are 21 and older.
Although it's one of the oldest parts of Kansas City, Westport has still got appeal. In the 1800s it was the meeting point for the Oregon, California and Santa Fe trails and the gateway to the western frontier. Today it is still a meeting place for people and a gateway to music, alcohol and fun. During the day the area is a quaint shopping and dining district, but at night the music gets turned up and the clubs and bars that line Pennsylvania Ave. and Westport Road open their doors. Westport has everything, from Have a Nice Day Café, a topfory dance club, to Stanford and Sons Comedy House.
"If I were 25 or 30 again all I'd want to do is hang out in Westport," Elmore says.
If you don't want to dance the night away maybe you would rather press your luck on one of the four riverboats floating on the Missouri
River. These casinos offer a lot of opportunities for you to strike it rich. The largest by far is the Ameristar Casino. Inside, it offers two casinos with 3,000 slot and video poker machines and 190 gaming tables between them.These boats also offer restaurants, shopping and live entertainment.
Regardless of the cheesy jungle music that plays in the park's Africa section or the expensive concessions, the park still lives up to its name. Seeing the twists, turns and loops of roller coasters, such as the Orient Express and the 205-foot drop on the Mamba make your stomach do flips. Worlds of Fun will be open on weekends through October.
Just when you thought that there couldn't be anything else to do in Kansas City, you remember the tried and true favorites, such as Worlds of Fun.
Whether it's the crack of a bat, the crush of helmets and pads or the whoosh of a car speeding past that you crave, Kansas City has it. The Royals, Chiefs and NASCAR all have arenas in the Kansas City area. Baseball is starting to wind down and football is just getting started. However, both teams still have tickets available for their home games.

We arrived at R.A. Guenther and Sons Scrapyard, south of Lawrence on U.S.59 highway in Pleasant Grove, on a Saturday morning. We were greeted by a dilapidated house on the front of the property. The back porch with an old washing machine, a television and a bicycle on it leaned lazily against the house. Three men worked on a beat-up demolition derby car in a large steel-sided barn behind the house. The scrapyard spread out behind and beside the barn. It was hot, but the yard was shaded by several large trees and heaped up mounds of industrial refuse.
It would be better to call it a recycling center, but you won't find any hippies at R.A. Guenther and Sons, 798 E.1250 Road. Les Guenther, Baldwin City, runs the place. He worked for 30 years at the General Motors plant in Fairfax. He "retired" to farm and run his father's operation. Guenther's main job is sorting and separating the various items—air conditioners, cars and automobile parts people dump at his scrapyard.
He walked up to meet us and explained a little about the yard. He collects tons, literally, of construction and demolition leftovers. Guenther receives piles of old air conditioners from heating and cooling companies disposing of old units. He doesn't charge the dumpers. He makes money by selling the sorted and
separated scrap to companies capable of reprocessing it into raw materials.
Guenther says he is falling behind in the sorting and separating. People keep dumping while he is away farming his corn. "When you get up in the morning, you don't feel too energetic with all this waiting for you," Guenther says.
He also explained the difference between a landfill and a
junkyard. "The landfill charges but doesn't recycle," Guenther says. We noted another difference that Guenther didn't point out, scrapyards don't stink.
We told him what we were after. cool junk. We were ready to run off into the scrapyard but we came unprepared. Guenther wore blue jeans and work boots. We wore shorts and tennis shoes. Guenther says boots and long pants are the best way to keep yourself from getting cut or punctured while rummaging around in the yard. We'll remember that next time.
We brought an expert with us, Nils Gore, assistant professor of architecture and urban design at the University of Kansas. Gore is an expert on materials and no stranger to a scrapyard. He constructed a light fixture using a cutting disk from a harrow, a farm implement used to break up and even off plowed soil, and
built a fence and gate from steel rebar, a material often used in road construction.
Gore says he prefers scrapyards that have waste from new construction sites because the sites throw out materials with interesting shapes. "I found a piece of metal with several squares cut out of it. It made an interesting pattern," Gore says.
Gore pointed out a set of leaf springs, used to suspend the rear

or sofa with a little work.
We found a stack of metal harrow disks, the same type Gore used to make his light fixtures. Eureka! Guenther says the disks are a popular item and he knew of one woman who made them into birdbaths. We liked them because they were round, slightly
dish-shaped and rusty. We used the disk and some supplies from Target, 3201 Iowa St., and Home Depot, 1910 W. 31st St., to create a hanging lamp. See the sidebar for instructions on how to build one of your own.
We came across two unbroken
car-door windows. Gore mentioned a group at Auburn University in Auburn, Ala., that used the windows to cover the side of a building. "It looked like fish scales," Gore says.
A star-shaped piece of rusty metal, it looked like the impeller from a water pump, an odd piece of aluminum that vaguely resembled a colander and a chrome mirror from a Chevy pickup truck, rounded out our finds for the morning. We turned the first two into candle holders. You could use the truck mirror as a shaving or vanity mirror. We threw our items on Guenther's scale, scrapyards usually charge by weight, but he looked over our items and charged us $5.
Guenther says the scrap market is depressed. Steel mills are closing around the country because imported steel is cheap He wanted the Highway 59 expansion to come through his yard so he could sell it, but the highway is going around the scrapyard.
He faces another problem which college-age males can relate to: high insurance. Guenther says his insurance company is reviewing his policy. It asked if he had a fence and a gate to keep people, presumably us, out. He doesn't; he depends on his country location to keep trespassers away. Guenther says his yard is one of a few yards where customers can walk in the yard.
If you would like to make an interesting piece of art or furniture from scrap, we recommend getting out to a scrapyard before these wells of junk dry up.

Step 1: Clamp the disk to a table to stabilize it and go over both sides with the grinder. This will remove dirt and rust from the disk. Use your weight to press the leading edge of the brush into the disk. This will make the job faster and remove more grime. When you're done the disk should be silver, but it will still be pitted in places. If you want a smoother finish, use a metal grinder head instead of a steel brush.
MATERIALS AND COST:
Disk from a farm tiller: 2 for $5 at R.A. Guenther and Sons Scrapyard
Lamp kit: $5 at Target
Step 2: Using the ruler, make an equilateral triangle on the disk. The points of the triangle will be the holes. Mark the points by scratching an 'x' with the screwdriver.
Plate ring:$2.38 at Home Depot Polyurethane lacquer spray:$5.99 a can at Ace Hardware
Three sets of cable ferruiles (we didn't know what they were either until we asked, be brave): $.89 each at Home Depot
Tools and supplementary supplies: Metal grinder fit with a steel brush Drill press or electric hand drill Motor oil
12 feet of wire cable cut into thirds:
$1.20 at Home Depot
Mineral spirits or gasoline Ruler and Phillips screwdriver
Step 3: The key to drilling holes in metal is oil. TONS of it. It's best to make this a two-person job, with one person drilling and the other standing by with the oil can. Oil the spot before you start drilling and continue to apply oil anytime the bit starts to smoke a little. Remember, these

A wonderful weld
By Maggie Koerth
mkoerth@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
Blue and white sparks shoot upwards from a metal table in the basement of Marvin Hall. From behind the black anonymity of a welding mask, Jason Newland, Springfield, Mo., senior, drags a straight line of molten wire across a piece of metal. Popping sounds like hyperactive Rice Krispies echo in the tiny welding room of the Architecture Department Craft Shop. After a moment, Newland flips up the mask to explain the finer points of welding a strong joint. "It should look like a stack of dimes," he says. "You can see how it looks like they're all lying on top of each other."
Newland, assistant shop technician, is teaching me how to weld and is prepared for the danger. The first thing he explains about welding is the need for safety supplies: long sleeves, heavy-duty, fireproof gloves, closed-toed shoes and the welder's mask.
Of all this equipment, the mask is most intimidating. It covers the entire face. Older versions plunge the wearer into a blackness that's only broken by the flying sparks. The newer mask that Newland wears provides a clear view of the room, until the nozzle makes contact with metal. "It's got an auto-darkening lid so it's a lot safer. As soon as it hits the spark, I believe it's 1/64 of a second, it automatically adjusts," he says.
V
Before the lesson began, Newland told me about how welding works. The welding
machine in the craft shop is a MIG (metal inert gas) system. Metal wire runs through a tube, where it's heated by electricity and comes out the nozzle. Meanwhile, a bubble of argon gas at the end of the nozzle protects the wire from rusting and helps maintain a strong joint. Depending on the thickness of metal you're welding, Newland says, you set the machine to a different voltage level and a different wire output speed level. How you adjust the wire speed is very important, Newland says. If the speed is too fast, you won't be able to weld and will end up with chunks of loose wire. If the speed is too slow, the heat will burn a hole in the metal.
After this, Newland begins to weld. He fixes a clamp onto the metal table to ground the electricity, flips his mask down and goes to work. The first thing he shows me is how to make straight lines on flat pieces of metal. Given the near-blind conditions behind the mask, this task seems impossible at first. "I hold the nozzle against my fingertip and you can kind of use that as a guide. You aren't actually touching your finger, you're keeping it far enough away, but it makes a straighter line," Newland says. He says this is the first thing most people do when they're learning how to weld.
And Newland should know. He's taught over 20 people how to weld in the craft shop. Many of them were students in Nils Gore's architecture studio last spring, but others were friends of his, non-architecture students who like to build things as a hobby. Newland says that anyone who wants to use the craft shop can. It's open between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. He's also willing to teach more people how to weld. "Just show up. We're usually pretty lenient about making time for anyone who wants to come down here and learn," he says.

All it takes is a one-dollar bill to gain freedom from the underage drinking world. Yes, there is somewhere you can go that is exclusively for a 21+ crowd without the experience of a cramped, smoky building and sticky tables, booths and floors.
The new Saturday night Westport is this place. As of July 12, anyone over the age 21 can pass through barricades with a valid ID and $1 to gain access to the streets of Westport on Saturday nights starting at 10 p.m. Once inside, you can buy beer, pizza, soda, water, gyros, hot dogs, polish sausage and chewing tobacco. You can travel to and from the bars in the Westport area while being entertained with tunes from the E105.1 FM radio van.
This change for Westport may be a great new way to spend a Saturday night. James Westphal, president of Promote Westport Inc., says Westport has a variety of options for entertainmentseekers in one location. "You can drive your car to Kansas City, park your car, eat dinner at McCoy's, see a movie at the Tivoli and dance at one of the night clubs," he says. And, if you are looking for a specific venue, you can have coffee or see a variety of live music ranging from country to rock.
For those worried about the drive, make it a weekend group activity.
"Westport is a good weekend getaway," says Westphal. He says you could drive up to Westport on Saturday, do some daytime shopping, check out the evening festivities and then go to a Royals or Chiefs game on Sunday. Three
hotels are within a block of West- port, so you don't even have to worry about driving somewhere to sleep. It's safe and practical.
Westphal says the Saturday night transformation was intended to bring more people to Westport in the later evening within a safer environment. He says so far the goal is being met.
Alyson Curtis, operations manager at the Westport Merchants Association, agrees. "There's a myth that it's a money-making event," she says, "but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It's about promoting safety and creating a safe environment."
Although the crowds have been showing up, the event is
expensive to run. Westphal says the event is actually losing money. This is because all profits are donated to Ozaman and City Lights charities and extra costs are in place because of the set up and take down of the area. He says the next thing that needs to be done is to figure out how the event can pay for itself. It is still up in the air about what will happen when the temperatures drop in the winter seasons. Luckily the warm Kansas temperatures should keep the Saturday night event going well into the fall.
As far as the legality of the whole -- it's just that: perfectly legal. The business owners of Promote Wesport Inc. simply had to go apply for the proper
licensing through the city. This involved applying for licenses, including ones for closing the streets, noise and catering to serve alcohol. The street vendors must apply individually for a health license. With all the licenses in place, the venue is legal.
Along with the licenses needed to take care of the legality, a security company also was hired to cover the doors or barricaded entrances into the Westport Square area. The Central Jackson County Patrol takes care of this task. Manual Rodenburg, security officer through the patrol service, says safety has improved since the switch happened. "Ever since they started

this, crime has been down," he says. "There's been fewer arrests and less vandalism."
Once patrons pay the $1 to pass through the metal barricades, they receive a wristband and must pay another dollar to get out if they leave. If underage people have been in the area before 10 p.m., Rodenburg says it is the responsibility of the Westport and city police to escort them out of the area. Once they are outside the barricades, they cannot come back in.
Bar employees agree that the change has been a positive experience. Joel McVicker, bartender at McCoy's and University of Missouri at Kansas City student, says the patrons have been enjoying the area more. He also believes it is definitely a change from the Lawrence scene. He says Lawrence is a college bedroom community while Westport is the oldest area in Kansas City offering more history to the atmosphere.
Joe Addington, owner of Joe's Pizza and treasurer for Promote Westport Inc., and Patrick Kelly co-owner of Kelly's Bar both agree that the change has been positive. Addington says the patrons like the party atmosphere and that there has been nothing but positive feedback. He says the weekly average is about 4,000 to 5,000 people per night.
Connie Goetz, Raytown resident, also likes the change. "I think it's a good thing," she says. "Before you couldn't cross the street or walk on the sidewalks. There were teenagers everywhere."
The blocked off Pennsylvania Street and Westport Road allow for plenty of space to freely stand around or sit down without being bothered, harassed or asked to
move. And, you can buy a five- dollar, 12 ounce beer and a $2.50 hot dog from a street vendor if the bar scene isn't your style.
The bar owners seem to agree that the change is positive and that the patrons love it. But what about any negative results? The only thing Westphal could think of was that he had to spend more time trying to pull off the Saturday night event rather than dedicate more time to his own business, McCoy's, where he is a consultant.

Ashton Kutcher, as a publishing house employee, and Terrence Stamp as his boss, star in My Boss's Daughter.
MY BOSS'S DAUGHTER
PG-13. 85 minutes. South Wind 12
In the romance comedy My Boss's Daughter, Ashton Kutcher (the not-so-bright character in That 70's Show, Just Married, and...well, he plays the not-so-bright character in every movie he does) stumbles over furniture, his own feet and costar Tara Reid (American Pie).
Unfortunately, the movie also stumbles over itself, making for an awkward mess that audiences will have little interest in sitting through.
Kutcher plays Tom, a kind push-over who has an unexplained job at a publishing house. Tom has a workplace crush on his co-worker, Lisa (Reid). Lisa happens to be the daughter of the head of the publishing house, Jack Taylor (Terrence Stamp, The Limey). When Tom finally gets the nerve to talk to Lisa, he ends up agreeing to watch her father's house while he's away for the weekend.
Upon arriving at the house, Tom realizes he's bitten off more than he can chew when dealing
with his boss' anal-retentive ways, nice furniture and sickly owl.
As soon as Tom's boss leaves, a coterie of off-beat guests stop by the house, making for scene after scene of non-stop non-hilarity.
For a comedy, this movie has a difficult time finding its style of humor — it dabbles in prattfalls, bathroom, racist, drug and alcohol humor, and jokes that target the disabled. All of these different styles are horribly unfunny, and at times even offensive.
The only thing worse than the jokes in this movie is the acting. Reid moves from scene to scene reciting her lines with almost no emotion at all. Both Kutcher and Stamp play the same characters they always play, Kutcher the bumbling nice guy and Stamp the icy British guy. Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live) goes into over-the-top gear as she tries to hammer home each line playing Jack's secretary, Audrey. Her forced energy exhausts rather than entertains.
David Koechner (Saturday Night Live) is the only actor in this picture who seems to have any sense of what is funny. One of
the most underrated comedic actors in entertainment today, Koechner plays Speed, Audrey's friend, whose white-trash wisdom and hilarious pool exits afford the only few giggles of the movie.
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of this movie is that David Zucker directed it. This man created Airplane! and The Naked Gun, two of the funniest movies ever. It is disheartening to think that Zucker's name is not just associated with this awkward flop, but that he helmed it as well.
AMERICAN WEDDING
Cal Creek Grade:D+
R. 102 minutes, South Wind 12
The ability to gross you out to the point of wanting to vomit, make you laugh like a kid and deliver scenes filled with the sweet innocence of youth all in one movie made the American Pie movies work. American Wedding, the third film in the series, lives up to its predecessors and, at times, surprisingly
exceeds them.
Jim (Jason Biggs) and former band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) are getting married. Most of the old gang returns for a third helping of the franchise.
The movie revolves around everyone's favorite cretin Steve Stifler (Sean William Scott), who tries to sneak his way into the wedding, even though Michelle had hoped it would be Stiflerfree. Stifler quickly sets his eyes upon Michelle's beautiful sister (January Jones), and his willingness to impress her makes some positive changes in him but also gets him eating dog feces.
The series shows some signs of wear, but when the film focuses on the adorable Biggs and Hannigan, it becomes a sweet and charming relief from the grossout aspect that comes with these movies. Since American Pie directors Chris and Paul Weitz moved on to bigger and better things (About a Boy), director Jesse Dylan (How High) takes over the reins.
American Wedding is good enough to fit nicely into the American Pie family, but one can only hope that this will be the last serving.

DIRTY PRETTY THINGS R. 94 minutes, Liberty Hall
The rapturous star of Amelie, Audrey Tautou, returns to the screen as Senay, a Turkish chambermaid who works on the cleaning crew at a West London hotel. One night, Senay's co-worker, Okwe, finds a human heart floating in one of the toilets - the first clue to a crime Senay finds to be much more sinister than the drug-dealing and prostitution that go on behind the closed doors of the hotel.
This gritty crime thriller from Stephen Frears zeroes in on the struggles of the modern London working class, making it especially relevant in these economically fragile times. Already a critical favorite, the film should continue the Frears streak that
began with 2000's marvelous adaptation of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity.

FREDDY VS. JASON R. 98 minutes. South Wind 12
During the late 80s, many a teen-aged boy wondered: who would win in the fight between Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhies?
All those boys finally get an answer with Freddy vs. Jason, possibly the most entertaining film of both horror series.
In this encounter, the children of Elm Street have forgotten about Freddy Krueger because their parents have wiped his existence out off all memories, databases and files in the town. For some reason, this renders Freddy powerless. Freddy begins having Jason Voorhies, taking form of his mother, convict the hockey-masked killer to Elm Street to kill people so will remember the maj Freddy once maintained they remember, Freddy wi his power back.
While the plot is ridiculous and the acting sub par, the movie still works for one reason: it's not really a horror film, it's an extremely dark comedy that almost mocks the previous 17 films. Various "teen" actors throughout the film drop several clever lines.
The action scenes are quite entertaining. Each gore fest delivers both high-flying special effects and high body counts that leave the audience delightfully nauseated.

Mark Wahlberg - showing off a lighter side we haven't seen enough of - plays cool-headed mastermind Charlie, who pulls off an elaborate "Italian job" before he and his crew are side-swiped on a Venice bridge by a greedy comrade named Frezelli (Edward Norton). Charlie tracks Frezelli to the States to reclaim his booty and hook up with his mentor's squeaky-clean daughter, Stella, played by super-babe Charlize Theron.
What follows isn't so much about the logistics of revenge as it is about the winning comic banter of Charlie's team, made up of computer-nerd Seth Green (Austin Powers), ladies-man Jason Statham (Snatch) and explosives-expert Mos Def (Bamboozled). Crime definitely pays in The Italian Job - for the cast, for the viewer and especially for F.

Of course, the Creeper — up to the usual feeding-frenzy tricks as its flesh-eating 23 days come to a close — is to blame.
The teens must ban together and fight this winged demon before the body count reaches the heavens. Writer-director Victor Salva returns, again with a cast of unknowns, a low budget and, from the looks of the trailers, the same visually superlative sense of camera placement and stunt work.

MARCI X
R,100 minutes,South Wind 12

In Marci X, Lisä Kudrow
Kudrow plays Marci, a New York socialite who takes over her father's business after he suffers a heart attack. Marci must tackle the controversy surrounding an album released by Dr. S (Wayans), whose record label is a subsidiary of Marci's inherited company.
Marci and Dr. S inevitably bump heads, find out they have a lot in common and settle everything in the end in a nice, happy bowtie way.
A central theme to this movie is being "real", true and honest, which seems incredibly hypocritical considering the film is riddled with stereotypes, caricatures and flat, static characters who seem to learn nothing.

THE MEDALLION
PG-13, 90 minutes, South Wind 12
Think The Golden Childbut good.
Foppish actor Lee Evans, as a bumbling fellow agent named Watson, contributes heavily to the film's broad comic streak which, combined with the relative bloodlessness of the fight scenes, make this a worthy entertainment for both kids and adults. Some of the dialogue looks dubbed, as if subtitles were planned then later dropped. But
Jackie Chan, 49 and still steamrolling along, plays an Interpol agent who's after an ancient medallion, "the holy grail of eastern mythology." A little Asian boy controls the medallion's power to give immortality, which makes him a target for a voluptuously evil villain named Snakehead (Julian Sands). Snake's flamboyant red robes and castle dwellings play up the fact that this is really a live-action video game; it's all crisp cuts and cool mystique.
the fights and chases are kind of exhilarating, attaining a level of anti-gravity that leaves almost everyone airborne. Bullets couldn't fly this fast, and how refreshing that they don't in this era of the mean-spirited action movie.

OPEN RANGE
PG-13. 117 minutes. South Wind 12
Kevin Costner's beautifully handmade new western offers downbeat, alternative programming at the end of a summer when movies pummeled audiences into a brain-dead stupor. The film's slow pacing and patient attention to detail make it a risky proposition for the college crowd. But kinetic or not, the movie is made to last where others are content to rip you off in the opening weekend before fizzling out.
Costner crafts a familiar tale about good cowboys and corrupt lawmen primed for a bloody showdown, but he directs with the same humanistic spin that warmed white audiences to Dances With Wolves, a three-hour epic about the slaughter of Native Americans.
Open Range feels a bit laborious in its middle parts, and a more disciplined director might have chopped off the film's drawn-out closing sequences. But the first act is truly lovely, with idyllic images of the Rocky Mountains providing a backdrop for another wonderful performance by the young Mexican actor Diego Luna (Y Tu Mama Tambien). Costner's stylish climactic shootout proves he may yet live down the critical drubbing he took for The Postman.

S.W.A.T

The star-packed police action movie S.W.A.T. brings nothing new or original to its genre. Director Clark Johnson and his plethora of screenwriters have
delivered one of the most clichéd vehicles to hit the screen all summer.
S. W.A.T. is really a two-part movie. The first part explains how Sgt. Hondo (Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction) puts together a ragtag group of outcasts to form his S.W.A.T. team. This includes unoriginal training montages and their first series of boring assignments.
The second part of the film pits the S.W.A.T. team against a terrorist who promises $100 million to anyone who can free him from U.S. custody.
This movie is so amazingly clichéd that it has characters with names like Street and Gamble and a "paper-pushingjerk of a captain." It plays on racial stereotypes, and delivers dialogue that's really just a series of oneliners fired from one character to another.
The movie gets progressively boring with each minute that passes and all the explosions in the world cannot save the predictably formulaic ending.
It is unfortunate that a cast of relatively accomplished actors like Jackson, Rodriguez and Farrell were not given more to work with.

SWIMMING POOL
R. 102 minutes. Liberty Hall
Offering an intriguing perspective on the new movie game of shifting identities and doubling realities (see Fight Club, A Beautiful Mind, Identity...), Swimming Pool stars Charlotte Rampling as mystery author Sarah Morton.
Sarah arrives at her publisher's secluded French villa to write a book and lounge around the swimming pool. Trouble shows up in the form of the publisher's daughter, Julie (Ludivine Sagnier), who proceeds to bring home new lovers each night to have rude sex with.
But there's more, or maybe not. Swimming Pool's revelations are in keeping with the director whose work it most closely resembles: Brian De Palma. Like De Palma's masterful suspense shockers such as Dressed to Kill and Blowout, this playful, ingeniously designed French thriller introduces twists too melodramatic to believe, but treats them too seriously to dismiss.

After a single viewing, the movie ultimately leaves too many unanswered questions, but pay attention to the clues (a window frame, a dream sequence by the pool) given by cowriter/director Francois Ozon.
X2: X-MEN UNITED
PG-13. 124 minutes. Woodruff Auditorium (SUA)
Director Bryan Singer and his poor misunderstood mutants return for a second go-around. This time, a military scientist named Stryker launches an attack on Professor Xavier's mansion, ending in a full-on war between mutants and humans. Singer still can't direct action with any amount of competence, but his characters are vibrant and their dialogue snappy. (I'll admit it: Cynical Steve underrated this one when it was released last May.)
It's called X-Men United but it feels like X-Men the Next Generation as the script focuses on youthful mutants such as Pyro, a brooding outcast who can manipulate fire, and Iceman, Rogue's chill-inducing boyfriend. By the end, Pyro switches over to the dark side, a development that could have climaxed in a kick-ass fight between him and Iceman that, alas, never arrives.
The sequel may lack the gothart touches that make Tim Burton movies so impressive, but it's redeemed by solid acting work from reliable Brits such as Brian Cox, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan.

ALIEN ANT FARM
TRUANT
RELEASED: AUGUST 19.2003
was made obvious, especially in 2001, when hard rock group Alien Ant Farm released a very energetic and successful over of Michael Jackson's smooth Criminal, that they were not afraid to experiment. two years later, with their new album truANT, AAF continues to push the proverbial creative envelope and thrill fans yet again. Guitar player Terry Corso says of their new release, "There's plenty of hard stuff, but there's also other stuff that's mellow, or has a different kind of groove. Showing off our versatility was really important to us. We wanted the fans to see that we've grown musically."
Part of that growth includes a willingness to experiment with many styles of music. Drummer Mike Cosgrove says, "We've always been into different kinds of music, but it's harder to make a statement about that when you're just coming up. There are so many different sides to this band. We're not really metal, we're not really punk, we're not really reggae, Latin, jazz or pop—we're a little bit of all those things." But AAF's natural tendency for trying something different isn't just limited to their music.
When pondering what kind of video to shoot for their captivating new single "These Days," the band decided to do something a little "raw" says front man Dryden Mitchell. The end result is AAF playing with out a permit, atop a Los Angeles building. Conveniently enough, they are located across the street from the red-carpet event, the BET Awards. Digital cameras capture a myriad of facial expressions ranging from pure horror to unabashed joy from surprised on lookers which is definitely sure to be classic music video material. However, almost over a year ago, the band was not thinking a record was even possible. While
THE SCHOOL
Alien Ant Farm
touring in Spain, the band's bus collided with a truck, killing the driver and seriously injuring the band and crew. Of the band, Mitchell was hurt the worst with a cracked vertebra.
"I have some permanent nerve damage from my upper chest into my head; it kind of feels like a bad sunburn all the time. It's tolerable, though, and I try not to complain about it because my other option would have been a wheelchair," Mitchell says. With that kind of positive attitude, the band began to pick up from the devastation and focus on moving forward.
truANT is the product of the band's collective experience and shines with a sparkling quality of its own. Songs like the wonderfully spicy Latin "Tia Luper" as well as the catchy, hard rock "Glow," give the album depth and immense appeal on many fronts. All in all, the guys of AAF have tried be everything to everyone and succeeded in doing so.

deception. Calling a station "The First Network for Men" suggests alternative programming, but alternative to what? Objectifying images of impossibly gorgeous women flood all forms of media. The very phrase "for men" is self-defeating, because the corporate machine that controls the airwaves has only one face, that of the white, middle-aged, misogynistic male.
Spike TV launched on Sunday, August 11, and with it, a new low in American male self-
Beyond these pretenses, Spike TV's programs are surprisingly tame, and, in their straight-arrow way, not at all representative of the rowdy college crowd the channel claims to cater to. Grease monkeys with homerotic power tools fill up most of the daytime, Star Trek rersuns fill up the evening, and dating shows fill up the night. Only Ren and Stimpy, Adulty Party Cartoon and Stan Lee's animated Stripperella capture the right spirit of gross-out impishness.
The station's new reality series, The Joe Schmo Show, falls somewhere in the middle. On the surface one of those silly battle-of-the-sexes vote-off shows that's really an elaborate prank, Joe Schmo casts boggle-eyed everyman Matt Kennedy Gould as one of nine "competitors," the rest of whom are really hired actors out to see if they can fool Matt into believing the game is real. Matt thinks he's competing for $100,000, while everyone else has been given an outline to follow and a part to play ("The Rich Bitch," "The Gay Guy," etc.).
The joke of The Joe Schmo Show, which premieres Tuesday at 8 p.m. on local cable channel 50, is that its "contestants" aren't very good actors, and the show generates a lot of suspense out of endless moments where its house of cards seem certain to topple. What the producers have done is to cast their hero's role with a generally trusting, sweet-natured person, and in effect, Matt blinds himself to the obvious scheming around him.
At this point, you either go with the joke or you don't. The trouble with reality TV is that its only purpose lies in thumping its nose at the players. The desired audience reaction is,"Look at
this stupid idiot trying to be famous!"
What sets Joe Schmo apart from other reality shows is that it's in on the cruel joke, which gives way to some interesting satire that might be better exploited in the coming episodes. The highlights belong to Ralph Garman, who provided various voices on Fox's cult animated series The Family Guy and appears here as the smarmy host of the show. Whether riding in on a white horse in a pimp's robe or staring down his contestants with absolutely nothing to say, Garman is the first self-referential personality to hit reality TV. His is a level of cool that Spike TV doesn't deserve yet.

VIDEO GAMES
Dynasty Warriors 4 T for Teen.
Available now for PlayStation 2 and XBOX.Average retail price $49.99
Summertime, ladies and gentlemen, means two things: lots of heat and loads of games. I tried to keep up with the games that came out this summer; I played lots of games that have made their way to the western shore and I played a few games that haven't arrived just yet.
One of the first games I tried out this summer was Dynasty Warriors 4. At points I asked myself, "Why does this game keep making more and more sequels?"
sequels. Dynasty Warriors changed its format in the second installment, from an all-out fighting game to a game where the protagonist is a one-man army capable of taking out hundreds of people at a time.
Dynasty Warriors returns for the fourth time with many of the old things rolled in with a few new options, but maintains the format developed for the second edition.
It's really hard for Dynasty Warriors to have sequels altogether. The background of Dynasty Warriors begins with
choosing to be an officer from one of the Three Kingdoms in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Era. You start off with your choice of the Shu, Wu, or Wei Kingdoms, but as you progress, more armies open up to you.
One addition to the game is the option of creating your own officer for the game. Also, a new weapons experience system grants new and more powerful weapons.
Dynasty Warriors 4 is a good game altogether, but after doing the same old thing four times over and, it just gets to be repetitive.

Guilty Gear X2
T for Teen.
Available now for PlayStation 2.
Average retail price $39.99
I must admit: I haven't played the first Guilty Gear, nor have I played Guilty Gear X. But after playing Guilty Gear X2, I need to find the first two games. Guilty Gear X2 is a blast to the fighting-game past mixing old-school two-dimensional fighting with Anime style drawings.
The story continues with Sol and the rest of his fighting pack challenging combatant after combatant until their goals are met in the end. Each character has three different endings that depend on who you fight, how long you fight them and how quick you beat them.
This game has a system that I've always wondered about, but never thought that any programmer would actually put into a game. This game has an Instant Kill system that can kill you in one hit if it connects. The only downside is you can only do it once per round. I thought the Instant Kill system was a myth for fighting games, but it seems that Guilty Gear,X2 puts some truth to it.
In the end, this game has a lot of good qualities. It features cool looking Anime style characters with a collection of Heavy Metal tracks. This fighting game series could go a long way.

"I just wanted to see my favorite band, Radiohead, in St. Louis, but it all went wrong," Fillenbrauer said. He stopped for a moment and looked at a shining bronze karma police badge above his head.

Bob Wilson, a student housing maintenance employee, received a Kemper Award when University of Kansas officials mistakenly handed him a $5,000 cash prize intended for a Biology professor of the same name.
Chancellor Hemenway's "Surprise Squad" burst into an Oliver Residence Hall supply closet yesterday to bestow the award upon Wilson during his cleaning shift.

Students use new meal plan at cafes, strip clubs
By Lemmy Louisovich beak@kansan.com Kansan satire writer
After years of malnutrition, emaciation and utter social ineptitude. University of Kansas students are lining up by the masses to sign up for the Rock Chalk Meal Plan, a commercial and philanthropic venture designed to feed students and provide them with better lives.
The Rock Chalk Meal Plan provides students with plastic cards that score them free meals at off-campus eateries such as Subway, Quizno's, Papa John's and All-Stars.
"Statistically speaking, it just makes sense," said Mike Dolezal, regional director for the program. "Your average on-campus meal plan costs $1,200 a year. Factor in missed meals, holidays and theft of pocket change by cafeteria bullies, and you're basically paying $200 a meal. With our plan, and the complicity of your parents, all meals are free."
Cynthia Higgins, Nashville freshman, said the plan also helped her make friends.
"At Mrs. E's, no one would talk to me," Higgins said. "I was just another bid day-reject eating mountains of soft-serve. Then, I got a meal card and all of a sudden these cute boys came up and invited me to Chili's. It was just like in the Chili's commercials where everybody drinks margaritas and the serving staff high five each other. Good-bye social leprosy, hello Rock Chalk Meal Plan."
For students such as Jimmy Lane, who uses his RCMP card at the Flamingo, the Rock Chalk
Meal Plan has helped accelerate his journey into adulthood.
"I ate some food, met some nice girls, and I didn't even have to use any of my money," said Lane, Lenexa freshman. "The great thing about the Rock Chalk plan is that they always have a featured restaurant of the week. Like last week, my RCMP card got me a free lap dance here at the Dirty Bird. Of course, this made things kind
of awkward when it came time to give a tip. I mean, wasn't entirely certain where to scan the thing, so I ended up just ceding her 15 free enchiladas at Carlos O'Kelly's."
Dolezal said students were pleased to have the program after begging for it for years.
"You're the best, RCMP," he told the Free For All several times last week. "Thank you for starting it at KU."

Christ takes over as Baylor AD
Christ will take over a department that has been rocked by the murder of a basketball player and the arrest of his teammate as well as numerous NCAA violations that resulted in the resignation of the men's basketball coach and former Athletics Director.
Baylor University, the nation's largest Baptist University, has hired Jesus Christ as the new Athletics Director.
"We are convinced that Jesus will be the Savior of this department," Baylor President Robert Sloan said.
Though Christ has no experience handling an athletics department, he is generally credited with starting a new religion. He has also served as a special assistant for His Father in Heaven as well as a laundry helper for the University of Kansas football program.
is a military helper for the University of Hawaii. "It's my fate to save humanity, and I think the Baylor Athletics Department is a great place to start." He said. "The town of Waco has welcomed me into their community. It's like they already worship me."
Christ plans on overhauling the entire department. He said He would hire twelve associate athletic directors to spread His word. Sources within the University of Baylor say Christ will also hire Moses to cut through the sea of red tape that resulted from the NCAA violations.
Jesus said He would be uniquely prepared for the daunting task of rebuilding the public image of Baylor's athletics department.
"I've dealt with the aftermath of Sodom and Gomorrah as well as public relations disasters like the Spanish Inquisition," Christ said during a press conference. "And let's not even talk about priests. Reconciling the problems within the department can't be that challenging."

Josh Petrovich, St. Louis sophomore, was alert, and offered the following analysis, "I guess he was trying to connect with us or something."

Industry cracks down on downloads

The Raytown, Mo., senior quit using the popular peer-to-peer file sharing service many people use to download music files at the end of the last school year, in part because of legal pressure from the music industry.
Clinton Enyear doesn't use Kazaa anymore.
In an 11-page letter sent on August 14, Cary Sherman, RIAA president and
Concerned that they might be taking a "shotgun" approach in their crackdown, Senator Norm Coleman (R-Minn.), Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, made an inquiry into the RIAA's legal actions.
"The industry seems to be cracking down more," he said.
According to research from the NPD Group, a Port Washington, N.Y., based research firm, Enyeart is part of a growing trend.
U. S. District Judge John Bates said that under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Verizon was required to give the RIAA the name of a Kazaa user who had allegedly shared hundreds of music recordings.
In a news release last week Russ Crupnick, vice president of the NPD Group, said that after the Recording Industry Association of America began a campaign to prosecute individual file sharers, illegal downloads declined sharply.
"Because the initial drop followed well-publicized legal efforts, there's evidence to show that the RIAA's tactics may be having its desired impact on reducing file sharing among consumers," he said.
Since April, the RIAA issued more than 1,000 subpoenas.
As a result, file sharers can no longer count on their ISPs to shield them from subpoenas from the RIAA.
The "well-publicized legal efforts" refer to the RIAA's April 24 announcement that it won its court case against Internet service provider Verizon.
Student graduates after 30-year delay
Lawrence resident recently found out that he qualified for a general studies degree

When the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences began using the Academic Record Tracking System in 1986, student records became standardized and computerized. But records for students from before the switch aren't accessed with mouse-clicks and typestrokes. Instead, CLAS employees utilize record-keeping devices of a non-electronic nature, a method which has given these erstwhile students a nickname among advisers.
staffers a new location for students at BMS — "The students before 86 — the oldies but goodies — we call them 'folder people,'" said Pamela Houston, CLAS undergraduate services director.
The students are certainly "oldies" but their "goodie" status is questionable; the folders hold the records of students who attended class before 1986 but never graduated, a file-cabinet full of postponed and forgotten dreame

From the spring of 1974 to March of this year, Lawrence resident Kyle Thompson was one of these "folder people." But one phone call took him out of the file-cabinet and into an entirely different student category: University of Kansas graduate.
graduate.
Thompson attended the University from 1969 to 1974, pursuing a B.A. in philosophy. Advanced placement language tests, still in their early stages, weren't an option for Thompson. Also, a Western Civilization class cut short by University-wide riots left him a few credits short of his degree. But finishing up a philosophy degree wasn't high on Thompson's list of priorities.
"The world was a different place at that time," he said. "Getting a degree didn't seem that important."
Getting a degree a degree more than a diploma. Thompson said he needed money more than a diploma. He took a series of heavy-labor jobs, before flourishing at the Kansas City Star. Over the next 15 years, he climbed the organization's hierarchy, rising from a newspaper carrier up to a high-ranking data processing position. Thompson said his lack of a degree was never an issue during his ascent. In fact, his studious nature and bookish appearance led people to assume he was a college grad, he said.
Kyle Thompson, Lawrence resident, shared a laugh with a teddy bear given to him by his mother as a graduation present. Thompson recently discovered he was a KU graduate because of a change in degree requirements.
"People at the Star would always ask me, 'what's your masters degree in?' " he said. "And I'd say, uh, no."
The Star provided Thompson with a comfortable income to support his wife and two young children, but he found the increased responsibilities of his new job brought an increased degree of frustration. Thompson said he worked under 20 bosses at any given time, and it seemed
like all 20 were often upset with him.

At the time, he found out how he could order the Times and supplemented his income providing papers for 15 daily subscribers. He decided, the Kansas City area was his for the taking. He left his job at the Star to start PaperBoys, Inc.
and something else.
Ironically, salvation for this non-graduate came from a newspaper whose name is synonymous with scholarship. Thompson and his brother had noticed a demand for the daily New York Times when they were delivering the Star.
Fifteen years later, those subscribers multiplied into almost 2,000 daily deliveries to houses and businesses,and

University of Michigan alters undergrad admissions policy
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan unveiled a new affirmative action policy for undergraduates yesterday, dropping a point system thrown out by the Supreme Court in favor of a less rigid process that still takes race into account.
Applicants will be given the option of identifying their race, but the answer will be considered "holistically" with the rest of the application and will not be assigned a point value, Provost Paul Courant said.
We continue to believe in gathering a group of students that are very bright but different from one another," Courant said.
In a 6-3 ruling in June, the high court struck down the point system for undergraduate admissions as too rigid. The system gave a 20-point boost to minority applicants, greater weight than it gave for some measures of academic excellence.
Undergraduate applicants will now be asked to give more information about their socio-economic status and give a short answer explaining their thoughts about diversity. There will be also be other short-answer questions and an optional essay that will allow students to tell more about their background and expected contributions to campus.

Wyandotte tribe opens casino in Kansas City despite protest
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — An Oklahoma-based American-Indian tribe opened a cramped downtown casino yesterday despite the state's opposition to a casino run by an out-of-state tribe and any expansion of gambling in Kansas.
The Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma made no public announcement about an opening date for the casino, located in a former Masonic hall next to an old tribal cemetery. The area is part of the tribe's historical territory.
The Wyandotte 7th Street Casino opened at 9 a.m. and was filled with customers within an hour.
The casino, with about 150 machines and only room for one person to walk down the aisles at a time, is wedged between office buildings, across from City Hall and near the Robert J. Dole federal courthouse.
The state opposed letting the tribe open the casino, saying it was protecting the interests of four tribes based in Kansas from an out-of-state tribe. The Kansas Legislature also has generally opposed any expansion of gambling in the state.
The city has long supported the Oklahoma tribe's effort to build a Kansas casino, but not in its current downtown location.

Donation helps welfare program
By Amber Bylaray
abylaray@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A retired University of Kansas professor has given the School of Social Welfare more than $1 million.
Norge Winifred Jerome has donated an expendable fund of $30,000 that the school will be given during the next three years.
The fund is being used to begin
a project that helps a doctoral student do research in a multicultural community. The student is expected to work with the community to decide what it needs and what type of research should be done.
The first doctoral student chosen to work in this program is Graciela Couchonnal. According to a University Relations press release, Couchonnal is an Overland Park doctoral candidate who
15 researching grassroots leadership by women.
When lerome dies, the school will begin to receive money from a $1 million fund.
Because the money is in an endowed fund, it will remain with the Kansas University Endowment Association, and the interest that the money collects will fund the doctoral program.
Jerome is residing in Shawnee and said she donated the money
because she wanted to leave a gift for a university that could carry on her community-based and collaborative approach to research.
The Endowment Association's director of communications, John Scarfe, said it was a rare gift.
"The purpose of the gift is quite outstanding and different than most of the gifts that KU Endowment receives," Scarffe said.

Sacred Sword offers weapons, art
By Joe Hartigan jhartigan@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
for those waiting for a one-stop dagger, sword and Japanese therapeutic-touch massage shop, the time has come.
Sacred Sword, 732 Massachusetts St., officially opened for business on Monday. Although the shop sells swords, daggers, and other various "fantasy art" pieces, store owners Gary Shainheit and Dawn Rothwell aren't required to perform background checks on weapon purchasers.
weapons "Criminals and felons know what they can and can't have," coowner Dawn Rothwell said. "It's their responsibility to regulate it, not ours."
The shop does impose restrictions on selling the weapons to minors, requiring a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian to sell to anyone under the age of 18.
"These are meant to be more collectors' items or for people who need them for their work or to hunt." Rothwell said.
Rothwell said the clientele for the swords and other "fantasy art" pieces consisted mostly of men who were married with children, art collectors and martial artists.
Ian Ostrander, Emporia junior and owner of an axe and rapier, said he wasn't concerned that the swords would fall into the wrong
hands.
"I would purchase them because I would like to be able to show someone 'here is what was used, once upon a time."
Ostrander said many collectors purchase the items for decoration purposes.
Shainheit said he was excited about his new shop.
"We're stepping out into a market that people are looking for" Shainheit said.
Sacred Sword also offers Reiki, a healing technique and Japanese

Shainheit, who handles the fantasy art and weaponry side of business, first began selling swords and daggers in Lawrence's Wholesale Mart, at 615 Florida St.
"It is a theory that we become ill because our energy is depleted," Rothwell said.
"He became a collector, and then it became a matter of supply and demand, so we moved," Rothwell said.

"Give people until October or November, and we'll be swamped," Rothwell said.
items at the shop have been tarot readings and limited edition pieces of fantasy art, including a Lord of the Rings sword series and other replica pieces.
Rothwell was confident the new shop would do well.
Rothwell offers Reiki classes as well as incense burners and holistic health products.

Exhibit highlights campus history
The University of Kansas has a story to tell. A story rarely told in the present.
Their project, named the KU History Galleries, was funded through a Student Senate Reserve Fund for special projects to enhance the University. It received a grant of $15,000.
Fortunato, then a graduate student in history, made similar observations and united with Mucci to fill the void.
A team of historians led by Henry Fortunato, project director, and David Mucci, KU Memorial Unions director, have researched for two years to uncover the varied history of the University. The history panels are the second part of this project, which began with a Web site.
When Mucci first walked into the Kansas Union in 1999 he noticed the acres of empty wall space and the lack of University history on display.
Ten history panels were unveiled yesterday to tell that story as a permanent display on the third floor of the Kansas Union.
"This was a collaborative effort," Fortunato said. "More than 100 writers, researchers and historians were involved."
The project also received funding from the KU Endowment Association and the KU Coca-Cola Partnership.
The panels feature a subdued tone of the crimson and blue, the limestone of Kansas and the brick color of the Union.
Each panel takes a thematic approach to 10 different moments of the University's history.
Three panels spotlight sports, specifically basketball, football and track. The "Net Effectiveness," panel profiles the University's basketball heroes and sagas up to April 8, 2003. It ends with The University Daily Kansan headline "It's Over," from when the team lost in last year's NCAA Tournament championship game.
The other 36 by 50-inch panels highlight history around the campus, including "the Rock Chalk Cheer," "Protest and Dissent," "Lost Traditions," student journalism and three that focus on University architecture.
John McCool, Evansville, Ind., graduate student and one of the project's article writers, said he found many oddball stories. One was that in 1905, freshmen were required to wear "cap flaps," or beanies, to distinguish them from the upperclassman. Their reward for donning the caps either a paddling or being thrown into Potter Lake.
The first completed part of the project was the Web site, www.kuhistory.com. In January 2001, the team took their hours of research and put it on the site, where the community could access it.
in the University Fortunato said that since its beginning, the Web site has had 200,000 page views.
The site is updated weekly with four events from that week in the University's history.
"It's pretty incredible," Fortunato said. "People are really interested in KU's history."
Beyond the weekly briefs, the site houses 123 articles that the information on the panels came from.
The future of the project depends on funding. Fortunato said he was looking for additional grants to continue the panels.
Looking around the hallway, Fortunato said he was pleased.
"seeing all of this makes me say, 'My goodness, we need more,'" he said.

Writer's satire lost on passive consumers of 'infotainment'
COMMENTARY
Last Friday, an article entitled "Fight for Corporate rights" by Ben McCarthy graced this paper's pages. The article spoke about how we need to stand up for the rights of "our biggest, most objective media outlet," Fox News.
]
The article went as far to say that "...the First Amendment isn't what it's cracked up to be," simply because Fox was suing the comedian and political commentator Al Franken for use of the words "Fair and Balanced" in the title of his new book, Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. The case against Franken by Fox News was thrown out by U.S. District Judge Denny Chin last Friday. Fox then announced that it would not continue litigation.
Chris Cardinal opinion@kansan.com
Some people read Ben McCarthy's article with the numbed perception that has taken over the American public. This perception mostly affects the all-believing, Bill O'Reilly-would-never-lie-to-me, gullible section of the public, who prefer to have its views and opinions spoon-tied to
"Fight for Corporate rights" was a fascinating piece of satire that opened the eyes of many KU students and others, even reaching the likes of Jason Tipton, the director of the Texas Public Interest Research Group, all the way down in Austin, Texas. The question is whether the strong interest in the story was due to the fine writing of the columnist or due to some misinterpretation that occurred.
it
But here's the problem: Without multiple-sided views, we are left with a single-minded majority. This would destroy the small amount of objectivity that already exists.
Fox News has a history of conservative views, and has also become one of the cable networks' biggest infotainment, if-it-bleeds-it-leads channels, reporting twisted news stories with headlines that are obviously flaunting neo-conservative views.
The tactic of "plausible deniability," used by many media outlets and politicians, misleads our public and can influence the views of hundreds of thousands of people. How often do you read an article and analyze every single detail?
Elizabeth Willy for The University Daily Kansan
The other option would be reporting all data and views equally. This also has its downfalls. It would break down our democracy by removing the diversity that is needed to sustain our nation's way of life. As The Friends of Voltaire said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say
everyone has an opinion, and it is everyone's First Amendment right to speak it, and they should. When a reporter starts reporting, we should not want them to become unhuman. Lack of commentary would limit the opinions and diverse ideologies that make America what it is.
it."
It is the individual's responsibility to inform him or herself. Lack of knowledge is inexcusable considering the near-excessive availability of information on the Web from across the world and from countless media outlets, each with its critics and naysayers, including Middle Eastern papers translated into English.
Anyone who bases their views upon a single news station and does not look into the facts or consider differing opinions is naive.
This form of apathy is disarming our nation. Stories of vital concern to our national security — the welfare of our troops, our environment and how our defense dollars are being misspent — are being spun, misread and overlooked daily, discarded for the week's winning lotto numbers and for stories about basketball players killing each other, cheating in their classes and getting charged with rape.
Do we live in a democracy? We do we treat it like one, open our eyes and take advantage of a free country rather than being spoon-fed. Wake up, America.

Support of gun control misguided; Constitution works, violence does not
The Aug. 22 column "Gun control steals citizen's right to change government" by Matt Dunavan was a poor start to a poor subject choice by its author. To say the article was offensive would give it too much credibility. But I still feel quite compelled to address his rather lost accusations.
The author asks whether guns are necessary for American society, to which he answers yes. After a list of random arguments, Dunavan cites the war in Iraq, the Declaration of Independence and the invented degeneration of our government.
GUEST COMMENTARY
With respect to the war with Iraq, he says, "A tyrannical regime can often only be toppled through the use of violence."
Joe White
opinion@kansan.com
In reality, the connection between the right to bear arms and the toppling of Iraq cannot be made. If the U.S. government wanted to create a tyrannical power, it goes without saying that a headgun could never override its wish to "shock and awe" us into submission.
Dunavan's quote from the Declaration is taken out of context. He notes, "... whenever any form of government becomes destructive ... it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it." What he fails to see is that historians have spent 226 years figuring out what Jefferson truly meant. The future president also said, "... prudence will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes."
Even constitutional scholars have noted that the second Amendment, the only true argument in this case, was made to allow states, not private citizens, to have standing armies.
Dunavan also discussed the fallibility of the U.S. Constitution in creating social change with respect to slavery. What he fails to note is that slavery was changed with a series of laws that went all the way up to the 1960s. Some could argue that the Civil War altered slavery, but it is commonly accepted that the war was fought over state rights, not slavery.
Should we outlaw guns? I don't know. But when you have a problem with the government or the system fails, as it did in the 2000 election, how many of us go for our guns? Besides shooting people on the streets, at work or in the classroom, what do we use them for? For hunting, perhaps, but never to change the government.
Look at what our government has done to us already, and all the while we had all these guns. Do you really think Washington is holding off its attack until we lose them?
--editorial board
Ever heard of the Kansas National Guard?
As we have seen time and again, our Constitution does work. Violence does not. Just this week, we celebrated an American who preached about peace over violence. How much was accomplished by throwing stones and bombs in the 1960s compared to what was accomplished by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr?.
No, guns are not the answer. Belief in our country is.
What the Oklahoma City bombing teaches us is that the government is not a mysterious higher power. It is citizens like you and me who work in it, live by it and support it. If the government needs change, then we must change ourselves. Notwithstanding Timothy
McVeigh, an American soldier would never take up arms against another American because of orders. Although we have the world's most powerful military, it's still run by Americans who volunteer to serve. Are we really under threat by a government run by its citizens?

Student voices bypassed
Students at the University of Kansas had better get used to being ignored by the University administration. The recent actions of KU officials — regarding the United States Student Association referendum that students passed last spring are fine examples.
USSA is a lobbying organization on Capitol Hill that fights for the interests of students in higher education across the country. The referendum that students approved in the spring would have added 50 cents to the student fees paid with tuition every semester, allowing the University to join USSA.
Upon the advice of a University lawyer, University officials stepped in this summer and prevented Student Senate from going through the proper paperwork to officially join USSA. They claimed it was unconstitutional for the University to be a part of an organization that was not "viewpoint neutral."
Then why were students allowed to vote on the referendum at all? Moreover, why did the University wait until summer to take action to prevent the USSA membership — a time when the majority of students are not in Lawrence? Finally, if Student Senate has control over how student fees are spent, how can University officials prevent an increase for a use that students approved?
The disregard for student opinion in this situation is comparable to the recent tuition increase approved in Spring 2002.
During the Fall 2001 and Spring 2003 semesters, University officials sought a $51.8 million tuition increase that many students questioned and opposed. Kansas was, and is, in a budget shortfall. Throughout the spring semester, students organized and protested against the size of the tuition increase. Many thought it should not be students alone that picked up the tab for a funding shortage at a public university.
Upon feeling the students' ire, the University Council allowed the formation of the Ad Hoc Committee on University Funding to consider the necessity of a tuition increase, and, if so, the size. The committee contained four students, four faculty members and two staff members. In its final report, the Ad Hoc Committee recommended a $43 million increase, with 20 percent going to financial aid.
Despite creating the Ad Hoc Committee specifically for the purpose of allowing student input, its recommendations were ignored. The chancellor presented the highest increase to the Board of Regents in April 2002 and the $51.8 million increase was approved.
The main benefit of joining USSA for students would be the classes and seminars that USSA teaches to its affiliates about how to organize and lobby. Such skills would have been useful a couple of years ago when such a large tuition increase was passed, despite opposition from students. Could that have something to do with why the University opposes a University membership to USSA?

Old cigarette machine vends art
By Alex Hoffman
ahoffman@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A cigarette machine has made a comeback in Lawrence, but its slots are filled with art.
The vending machine at the Social Service League Store, 905 Rhode Island St., sells pieces of art small enough to fit in a normal cigarette pack, which are placed in the machine's slots, and the cost for the art doesn't result in empty wallets.
The concept, called "cheapart", is giving old machines across the country a facelift.
Customers can choose among art from 20 contributing Lawrence artists. The cost for a pack of art is $5.
Courtney Kublen/Kansan
"For most people, art's not cheap," said Jean Ann Pike, manager of the store. "This makes it affordable to everybody."
Pike said she sold nearly 200 pieces since the introduction of the machine in July. Some money came back into the artists' hands, and the rest went back to the League.
Pike said she found stories about Clark Whittington, an artist from Winston-Salem, N.C., who first started to convert cigarette machines into art vendors. He calls them "art-o-mats" and it piqued her interest.
"When I read about it I thought, 'What a hot idea,'" Pike said.
To begin the project, Pike needed to find an old machine. The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., donated one to the store.

Pike and volunteers at the League cleaned it up, peeled
away stickers of bands that appeared at the lounge and made a cheapart sign to make it look presentable.
The art ranges from paintings to photographs to jewelry. Although Pike asked a couple of artists she knew to contribute, news spread through word of mouth for people with a creative streak to put their talents to use.
Anna Glynn took photos of scenic, postcard-like views of Europe and made magnets from them.
Bob Gent specializes in glasswork and Pike asked him to contribute some items. He said it wouldn't have been hard to make glass art at a reduced size, even though most of his work is not that small. But he already had an alternative in mind.
"It was literally a bag of pins and rings I already made," Gent said. "It just wasn't that fun to sell."
Now, there is a home for the jewelry that Gent made a year or two ago.
"I'm probably going to go to a party and see someone wearing my earrings and it will put a smile on my face," he said.
The League also gets help with cheapart from unlikely sources. Barbara Hogue, a volunteer at the store, said a woman started to drop off empty cigarette packs every week. Pike recently received a package from Atlanta and was excited because the League did not get packages often. She opened it up, and all it contained was cigarette packs.
An old cigarette vending machine was converted by the Social Service League Store, 905 Rhode Island St., to dispense artwork from local artists instead of cigarettes. For $5 a customer can purchase artwork ranging from glass earrings to photographs.
"In't that a hoot?" she said.
"I've never met the person in my
life."
The cheapart display is one of many projects for the League, which has served Lawrence since 1863. One of its most important projects is providing eye examinations and glasses for children, though Pike would also like to see
the cheapart concept grow aroundtown.
"I'd love to have another machine or two," she said. "Wouldn't it be nice to have one in a coffee shop?"

Minor emphasizes Jewish culture
By Meghan Brune
mbrune@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Faier, a Kansas City senior, is one of three University of Kansas students to declare a Jewish studies minor.
Last fall the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences added the minor.
When Heather Faier graduated this year, she will follow many down the hill, but her degree will be one of the first of its kind.
The University of Kansas was one of the only universities in the region without an organized Jewish studies program.
"IIf the University is going to be one of the premiere universities in the country, it needed to have a Jewish studies minor," Daniel Breslauer, religious studies professor said.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City, Ohio State University and the University of Colorado at Boulder have some level of Jewish studies program, Breslauer said.
Faier is taking Breslauer's Jewish History of Judaism in the West this fall. Faier said she had taken Hebrew and Jewish literature
courses, and the minor was the next natural step, though few people were aware of the minor, she said.
"We're a small group, but we will grow," Faier said.
For the past 10 years, a Jewish Studies Committee has worked on a proposal for the minor.
Two years ago, when the proposal for the minor was approved, these related courses were pulled together in the time table.
"Jewish studies has been informal at KU," Carl Strikwerda, Associate Dean of the College said. "The minor finally gets a focus for students."
Strikwerda has worked closely with the committee and said he was pleased to see the minor as the result of their hard work.
Strikwerda, who teaches a Holocaust in History course, said Judaic studies was not limited to the religion department. Art history, English, American studies and sociology departments all have courses related to Jewish studies.
Breslauer said the minor was spread over many departments for a specific purpose.
"Jewish Studies is not only
religious practices and the study of what we think of as typical Jewish people," Breslauer said. "You have to know the cultures in which Jews lived."
Cheryl Lester, chair of the committee and professor of American Studies, said the development of the minor was welcomed because of the students' interest in Hebrew.
"Hebrew is the fastest-growing language studied at KU," Lester said.
As many as 80 students have enrolled in these classes each semester.
A student interested in the Jewish studies minor must take two years of Hebrew or Yiddish and 15 hours of approved Jewish studies courses from at least three different departments. This requirement is unique to the University of Kansas.
Jay Lewis, executive director of the KU Hillel Foundation, said he thought the minor made the University more attractive to incoming students.
Lewis said he talked to students and parents who considered the Jewish life on campus before choosing a university.
has at the University, the better, Lewis said. He said he would be happy to see a Jewish studies major in the future.
"I see the minor as the first step in the whole process," Lewis said.
Breslauer said the addition of a major depended on funding and faculty. His goal for the present is to spark students' investigative nature, Breslauer said.
The more presence Judaism
"I hope students have a sense of the historical and contemporary ways human beings express themselves through the variety of ways Jews have in the past," Breslauer said. Endowment funds now
Endowment funds new professorship The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences recently received a large gift to fund a Modern Jewish Studies Professorship.
KU Endowment will make the announcement of the gift sometime next month, said Carl Strikwerda, associate dean of the college.
"We could hire someone in a number of departments," Strikwerda said.
Strikwerda said that the search would begin this year, but that a new professor will not start any sooner than August 2005.

GRADUATE/'Different world' shifted degree requirements
CONTINUED FROM PAGE1A
a staff of 11 employees. Thompson works from home, allowing him to spend time with his two sons, picking them up from school and coaching their sports teams.
As he built his business, Thompson never regretted leaving the University without graduating.
"I don't think a degree would have made a difference," he said. "I got the knowledge I needed from books and articles."
These books and articles helped Thompson build a successful business. He is listed in the Kansas City phone book under New York Times and has expanded to include two financial dailies. He seemed to have his future mapped out: run the business, put his sons through school, and retire. But a marketing plan hatched 2,000 miles northeast of Lawrence clouded that vision of the future.
The New York Times corporation decided to centralize its business interests. Part of this plan was to try to control national delivery. This put Thompson, who orders his papers in bulk from the company, in a delicate position.
"The Times is my partner and my competitor at the same time," he said.
Thompson worried about his future. He knew many jobs required applicants to have college degrees.
He decided to leave the ranks of the "folder people," and asked advisers to dig up his record. He had no plan beyond that point. Thompson said he had bad experiences with correspondence courses and didn't relish the thought of sitting in a classroom for the first time in 30 years.
"I just thought I'd better find out what my options were," he said.
He left a message, and his confidential student folder was examined. For a philosophy degree, the situation was just as Thompson remembered. Luckily for Thompson, another major told a different story.
The Bachelor of General Sciences (Non-Major) degree was the product of the "different world" Thompson described. Increasingly-activist students didn't want to be restricted to degree requirements.
"It was a time of empowerment," Houston said. "Students wanted to be given the responsibility to create their own academic program."
The B.G.S. had the bare minimum of academic requirements. Like the current rule, 124 hours were required for graduation. The only other requirement was nine hours each in humanities, natural sciences and social sciences—the three-by-three familiar to liberal arts majors.
According to these requirements, Thompson didn't need his Western Civilization or language
classes. The adviser called him back and explained that, according to KU records, he could graduate whenever he saw fit. For Thompson, it seemed too good to be true. He filled out the graduation application, but decided not to spread the word of his new-found status until he received his notice in the mail.
"I wanted to make sure I could prove it before I told anyone," he said.
The letter, 30 years in the making, arrived a few weeks later. Thompson, who still thinks the story of the belated diploma is "not a big deal," told his family about it without much pomp or circumstance, and they reacted accordingly. His wife was pleasantly surprised, but his two sons, once they heard the full story, didn't exactly congratulate their father on his accomplishment.
"We started calling him a 30th-year senior," his 14-year-old son, Rafferty, said.
The only family members who seemed excited were Thompson's parents, who still reside in Mission where he grew up. Perhaps they remembered seeing their son off to college, and were happy to see him complete the journey. Thompson has another theory.
"I think they were just glad I got my degree after they paid all that money for me to go to school," he said. "It's finally become money well spent."
Thompson's mother, who sent her son a stuffed bear clad in cap and gown, disagrees.
"We were really happy for him," she said. "He can pretend he graduated when he was 24 instead of when he was an old man with a beard."
Thompson doesn't know if he graduated in May or over the summer ("I looked for my name in the paper," he said), but one thing is almost certain. He was the only member of the 2003 class who took a 50-year break between finishing school and picking up his diploma.
The story of Kyle Thompson's degree seems to be unique, almost one-of-a-kind. But no one knows how many Kyle Thompsons are lurking among the "folder people." Houston said the CLAS services office didn't have the resources needed to make sure no other unknowing graduates existed. While more students like Thompson are possible, the opposite situation was almost always the case, she said.
"We always get people who say, I think I need six hours to graduate," she said. "And we'll look at their records, and they need 26."
Kyle Thompson thought he needed six hours to graduate. It turned out all he needed was a phone call.

general counsel, assured the senator that the industry would only target users who downloaded a significant amount of music.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"RIAA is gathering evidence and preparing lawsuits only against individual computer users who are illegally distributing a substantial amount of copyrighted music," he said in the letter.
Not surprisingly, subpoenas for these substantial downloaders have started finding their way onto college campuses.
Currently, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston College are using the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to dispute subpoenas sent to them, while Boston University is questioning the jurisdiction of the subpoenaes.
Though the RIAA has not sent any subpoenas to the University of Kansas, James Pottorff, Jr., University general counsel, said he would review them for validity if and when they arrived.
"The University of Kansas has not been presented with that see-
nario yet," he said. "But I can say that if it is a valid subpoena, the University will comply with it."
Potterfalf also said although it was not his main concern at the moment, he was interested in what would happen at MIT and Boston.
"It's nice to have some other universities take this thing on," he said. "We'll see what works out there before we decide we're going to make it such a big deal."
Pottorff said that while there were legitimate uses for file sharing programs, people who used them should be careful due to
fines that arose from accidental copyright infringement.
According to U.S. Title 17
Chapter 5, accidentally breaking
copyright laws carries a fine of
not less than $200, while willfully
breaking the law can be punished
by a fine of up to $150,000.
In an effort to reduce copyright infractions, Jenny Mehmedovic, assistant to the vice provost of information services, started a campaign to inform students about its consequences.
Sprawling suburbs may fuel obesity
Adding to the sprawl concern: Pedestrians and bicyclists are much more likely to be killed by passing cars here than in parts of Europe where cities are engineered to encourage physical activity — and whose residents typically are skinnier and live longer than the average American.
- Edited by Dave Nobles
The Associated Press
Those are conclusions of major new studies being published Thursday that call on urban planners and zoning commissions to consider public health in designing neighborhoods.
WASHINGTON - Sprawling suburbs that make it harder for people to get around without a car may help fuel obesity: Americans who live in the most sprawling counties tend to weigh 6 more pounds than their counterparts in the most compact areas.
"How you build things influences health in a much more pervasive way than I think most health professionals realize," said Dr. Richard Jackson of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who helped edit the research, published in the American Journal of Public Health and American Journal of Health Promotion.
"Look at many new suburbs — there are not any sidewalks at all. ... The result is we just don't walk," added John Pucher of Rutgers University, who uncovered the U.S.-European disparities that CDC's Jackson called shocking.
There is growing recognition that ever-fatter Americans' tendency to be sedentary is at least
partially due to an environment that discourages getting off the couch and out of the car. Do adults walk three blocks to the bus stop, or drive to work? Can kids walk to school? Is there a walking or biking path to the post office, restaurant, a friend's house?
In a sprawling community, homes are far from work, stores and schools, and safe walking and biking is difficult. But Thursday's research marks the first attempt to pinpoint just how much that matters.
Rutgers University urban planner Reid Ewing rated the amount of sprawl in 448 counties that surround metropolitan areas — counties home to two-thirds of the population — and then tracked CDC data on the health of 200,000 area residents.
All other factors being equal, each extra degree of sprawl meant extra weight, less walking and a little more high blood pressure, he concluded. Someone living in the most sprawling county — Geauga County outside Cleveland — would weigh 6.3 pounds more than if that same person lived in the most compact area, Manhattan.
The nation's most compact areas were four boroughs of New York City - Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens; San Francisco County; Jersey City, N.J.'s Hudson County; Philadelphia; and Boston's Suffolk County.
Most sprawling were outlying counties of Southeast and Midwest metro areas: Cleveland's Geauga; Goochland County outside Richmond, Va.; Clinton County near Lansing, Mich.

City official wants to ban nude dancing
BAXTER SPRINGS — A Baxter Springs councilman has proposed banning nude dancing within the city limits and has asked the county to do the same.
City Councilman Dusty Deringer made the proposal after a rumor surfaced that a building being constructed in the county would be a nude-dancing establishment. Deringer also sent a letter to the Cherokee County commissioners asking them to prohibit such clubs in the county.
Deringer's proposal presented Tuesday would make it a class A misdemeanor for dancers to be naked. The council is expected to address the proposal at its Sept. 9 meeting.
Deringer said nude-dancing clubs depreciate property values, have the potential to increase prostitution and the risk for sexually transmitted diseases and may promote organized crime
"I'm not here to judge people for dancing naked," Deringer said.
"I'm here to protect the interest of people who elected me."
The Cherokee County Commission approved a resolution in 1992 banning nude dancing in clubs that sell alcohol, but Deringer said the Kansas Association of Counties required zoning for such resolutions to be effective. Cherokee County does not have zoning.
Fort Riley Ceremony honors 3,000 soldiers
FORT RILEY — Kelly Cunningham and her two young children gathered Thursday at Fort Riley along with dozens of other families bidding farewell to 3,000 soldiers preparing for deployment.
When Cunningham's husband, Wade, departs for Iraq sometime within the next two weeks, it will be the first time he has been away from his 1-year-old daughter, Riley, and 6-yearold son, Tyler.
"Tyler sees what happens on TV, and he doesn't want him to go," she said. "I had to tell him that he will be OK he will come back OK."
The ceremony yesterday at Marshall Army Airfield at Fort Riley honored the deploying soldiers from the 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. The ceremony initially was scheduled to include all 3,000 soldiers at Cavalry Parade Field, but rain forced the ceremony inside and reduced the program to just a portion of the deploying brigade.
Democrat says he won't challenge Brownback
WASHINGTON—Former Democratic Rep. Dan Glickman said yesterday it would be great to have a viable Democratic candidate to challenge Republican incumbent Sen. Sam Brownback in 2004 — but he probably won't be that challenger.
"There's still a little bit of a door open, but it's pretty slim," Glickman told the Mid-America News Network.
Glickman, a former Secretary of Agriculture under President Clinton, said he may consult with some people when he returns to
The executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party, Pat Murray, said this is the first time Glickman has even publicly discussed a possible candidacy.
Kansas next week.
Glickman said he's concerned about the loss of jobs in the U.S. and in Kansas, the huge national deficit and the complicated, expensive War in Iraq. He predicted 2004 will be a good year for Democrats, and he said he disagrees with those who think his party will make no inroads into GOP strength in Congress.
Policies were too lax to control vehicle buys
TOPEKA — Policies regarding vehicle purchases in Kansas state government were "lax" and allowed agencies too much autonomy to spend resources, according to a former state secretary of administration.
Joyce Glasscock, who served under former Gov. Bill Graves, said she was not comfortable with the limited restrictions
"That seemed lax," Glasscock told The Wichita Eagle. "There was no one to say, 'Do you really need to buy 20 cars?'"
placed on department heads when it came to vehicles.
A review of records from fiscal year 2002 shows that state agencies purchased within a month and a half of the end of the Legislature's session more than half of the 135, never-used cars that were recently sitting on a state-owned lot. Forty-five of the cars were purchased on the last day of the fiscal year.
TeleTech Holdings Inc. to add 100 jobs in Topeka
TOPEKA—Despite recent financial struggles, TeleTech Holdings Inc. has announced plans to add 100 jobs to its operations center in the city.
"The center is in the process of hiring 100 customer-service representatives," said Carol Hahn, spokeswoman for TeleTech in Englewood, Colo.
Current employment of 650 would be increased to 750 to
meet business needs, she said.
One of the company's major clients in Topeka is Verizon Communications of New York. TeleTech employees assist customers with questions about billing, Internet access and phone service, according to former and current employees.
Kansas West Nile virus cases rises to 17 humans
TOPEKA — State health office have confirmed three new human cases of West Nile virus, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said yesterday.
That brings the state's total to 17 human cases this year. Health officials expect the number to increase as West Nile virus season peaks in August and September.
The latest cases are a 41-yearold in Shawnee County, an 85year-old in Pratt County and a 45-year-old in Hodgeman County. All began showing onset of the virus in August. No further details were released by the state.

Freshman balances class, job, life
AUSTRALIA
La'Pourche McConico, Bonner Springs freshman, took notes during her 9:30 a.m. sociology class in Fraser Hall. McConico joined HAWK Link, a first-year mentorship program for minority students, this summer.
By Johanna M. Maska

Kansan staff writer
Editor's Note: This is the first story in an occasional series on University of Kansas freshman La'Pourchea McConico's. Kansan staff writer Johanna M. Maska will be checking in with McConico as she completes her freshman year at the University.
It may be the first week of class, but La'Pourchea McConico is already 30 minutes early.
The Bonner Springs freshman says HAWK Link, a first-year mentor program for minority students, has helped her get hit the ground running during her first week of class.
An African American from a predominantly white community, McConico doesn't feel uncomfortable in classrooms populated by mostly white students. But transitioning into life as a KU freshman, McConico said, was difficult for anyone.
So HAWK Link has been a big plus for McConico. The program has given McConico a sense of community, something she sees as an absolute must.
Finding a niche at the University of Kansas was so important for McConico that she left home early to find her place. This summer McConico spent part of her time at the University's Freshman Summer Institute.
It was during the summer that she enrolled in HAWK Link, met some new friends and found a job at the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
Now, one week into school she's in her balancing act.
It's 9:00 a.m. and class starts at 9:30 a.m. Sociology runs until 10:50 a.m. After class she works until 2:30 p.m. She has class again at 2:30 p.m., but she'll likely go back to work after that finishes up at 4:00 p.m. After that, she hopes to
catch dinner — since she's already skipped lunch — before a 7:30 p.m. math placement exam. To finish her night, she'll be a bit late to Inspirational Gospel Voices practice.
Catching up with her midway through her hectic day, McConico reflects on her changing situation.
"In Bonner Springs, I was the black girl," she said.
But when she went to Kansas City, her light complexion and way of speaking made her stand out.
"My friends think I act white," McConico said.

During sociology, Professor
Sandra Albrecht has a quote in
her presentation.
"The first fruit of imagination
is that individual can understand [personal] experience only by becoming aware of those of individuals in [similar] circumstances," Albrecht said, attributing the passage to C. Wright Mills.
For McConico, the quote mirrors her transition. She has found people like her.
On Monday McConico joined the Black Student Union, before she knew many of the members were already her friends.
"If you've ever seen them together," McConico said. "You see, it's just like family."
The group is diverse within its own realm. Although many members are from the predominantly black areas of Kansas
City, others have had experiences like McConico.
encies me needa "I've never had that before," McConico said.
The community gives her comfort.
"Knowing that other people go through that, that establishes a support system," McConico said.
It's a new life for McConico. She's says she's ready though. She wants to tackle it all: her new community of Oliver Hall, Black Student Union, HAWK link, her job and even her new classes.
Off to a running start, McConico is hoping to keep up the pace.

Meatless diet linked to disorder
Vegetarianism may be related to a risk for eating disorders, according to a recent study.
according to the study, conducted at California State University-Northridge, found that college women who claimed to be vegetarians had a significantly greater risk of developing eating disorders than their meat-eating peers. Despite these findings, health professionals said properly practiced vegetarianism could be a healthy lifestyle.
could be a learning opportunity.
"This study is not saying that all vegetarians are destined to develop a disorder," said Ann Chapman, dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "This goes on a case-by-case basis totally."
The study consisted of 143 female college students. Of these 143 participants, 30 were self-reported vegetarians and 113 participants were non-vegetarians.
capitals were similar in height, weight, age and body mass index. In addition, there was no difference in supplement use or meal skipping between the two groups.
Participants were asked to take the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT), a 40-item questionnaire commonly used to assess eating disorder tendencies. A score of greater than 30 indicates weight preoccupation and an increased risk for eating disorders.

Thirty-seven percent of the participating vegetarians recorded a score higher than 30.
Eight percent of non-vegetarians scored above 30.

The study results showed vegetarians generally reported feeling extremely guilty after eating, as well as being preoccupied with a desire to be thinner.
Chapman said that many

"When women become restrictive with their diets due to the fear of weight gain, meat is one of the first things to go," Chapman said.
Madeline Baker, Huntsville, Texas, junior, did not become a vegetarian to lose weight. Baker quit eating meat eight months ago because of ethical and health reasons. But she agrees with Chapman that some women become vegetarians for the wrong reasons.
"Some people use vegetarianism as an excuse," Baker said. "It's a good front in public. It's an excuse to say 'Oh, I can't eat that, I'm a vegetarian.'"
First vegetarian The study supports Baker's thinking. Because vegetarianism is a socially acceptable lifestyle, the study said admitting to being a vegetarian may be an acceptable method of eliminating entire food groups.
The study also stated that vegetarianism could represent a food ritual, something common among those with eating disorders.
Chapman said, however, that this study does not mean vegetarianism was a dangerous lifestyle. She said that if vegetarians included essential nutrients in their diet, they would be fine.
"As long as the right components and nutrients are there, vegetarianism, and non-vegetarianism, can be healthy," she said.

Mangino: Jayhawks to play 'for keeps' against Northwestern
By Ryan Greene

It seems as though Kansas coach Mark Mangino has had something positive to say about everyone on his football team recently, giving fans and the media nothing but growing anticipation for the start of the 2003 season.

With a depth chart loaded with names nowhere to be seen as last season ended, Mangino is just as curious about how things will pan out as the Jayhawks' fans.
"You just don't know how things are going to go the first night," Mangino said. "When you line up in college football you are playing for keeps the first night out, and that is just how our kids will respond."

"Shelton has never played a college football game at the Division I level and he will for the first time," Mangino said. "We have some newcomers and we are going to go through some growing pains, but we have some guys who can play."
On the defensive front, the team's anchor on the defensive line, junior tackle Travis Watkins, will be out for the first half of the season with a broken foot. Even with Watkins out, the Jayhawks will expect to improve on their 256.2 rushing yards allowed per game in

KJHK radio lends its airtime to students to give experience
Tune your radio dial to KJHK.
Depending on the time of day, music or sports are carried through the airwaves entertaining University of Kansas students and the Lawrence community.
For 28 years, KJHK has served not only as a music station but as a laboratory for students searching for a career in sports broadcasting.
Because the station is a student-run operation, KJHK is important for gaining experience and working in a professional environment.
These positive aspects to the station were threatened when the School of Journalism could no longer financially support KJHK.
Gary Hawke, general manager of KJHK, was able to save the station by selling the idea of keeping KJHK a student-run operation to the Kansas and Burge Unions and therefore protecting its individuality.
The importance of the station goes far beyond the music it plays.
In the past, students wanting to pursue a career in play-by-play sports took a class taught by the well-known broadcaster and retired journalism faculty member, Tom Hedrick.
The school does not offer any class pertaining to play-by-play, which forced the KJHK sports staff to teach themselves the difficult task of painting a picture for listeners.
The sports staff has had to fight for airtime during the past couple of years and now secures a sports talk show every week night 6:15 p.m. to 7 p.m except for Friday when a show airs from the Kansas Union from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
More importantly, the students have the opportunity to engage in live play-by-play for football, baseball, softball, and men's and women's basketball.
In comparison to most colleges in the nation, KU students are privileged to have the opportunity to broadcast games in which they gain valuable experience when trying to enter the highly competitive market of sports radio.

Many former KU students are now sports broadcasters because of the hands-on experience earned through KIHK.
Brian Hanni, former KJHK sports director, earned various awards while at the station and now heads 1320 KLWN.
"I think it's critical for KJHK to keep its sports department and continue to broadcast the number of games it has in the past," Hanni said. "It's a great opportunity for aspiring sportcasters to hone their skills and now that Tom Hedrick's class is no longer available, it's about all that's left for play-by-plays guys at KU. A great tradition of producing top-notch sportcasters is at stake, I hope they make the right call."
The pursuit of keeping a student-run station is absolutely crucial for the University. The school does offer many classes that further students learning on the growing trend of convergence, but fails to offer an elective course for sports radio.
If the Union agrees to keep the station a student-run operation it will not only provide a great service for the community but for any student who pursues a career in radio.
It seems that everyday the University suffers some type of cutback due to lack of funding and budget problems.
With a strong partnership with the Kansas and Burge Unions, KJHK can keep giving students opportunities while carrying on the tradition of creating future sports broadcasters.

Royals earn victory over Texas after rain delay, extra innings
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mike Sweeney singled in the winning run in the 11th inning to help Kansas City regain first place and overcome two homers by Alex Rodriguez in the Royals' 6-5 win last night over the Texas Rangers.
A-Rod's two solo shots tied him with Barry Bonds for the major league lead with 39 homers.
After Joe Randa led off the 11th with a
Sweeney is 4-for-7 in extra innings this season.
D. J. Carrasco (6-4) pitched two hitless innings for the win.
Randa hit a solo homer off Francisco Cordero with two outs in the eighth, extending his hitting streak to 11 games
and giving the Royals a 5-4 lead after Rodriguez's leadoff shot off Curtis Leskanic ignited Texas' four-run eighth.
But Rodriguez led on the ninth with a shot to right off Mike MacDougal, who blew his eighth save in 34 chances.
Royals' starter Paul Abbott shut out the Rangers through six innings, allowing only one hit as he tried for his first win in more than 16 months. He was replaced by Jeremy Affeldt after rain delayed the game for an hour and 42 minutes in the bottom of the sixth.
Missouri officials examine program
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — University of Missouri system President Elson Floyd said it was "imperative" for him to order an expanded probe of the men's basketball program on the Columbia campus after eight months of internal athletic department investigations because of recently publicized charges of academic cheating.
"The athletic department has been investigating a number of allegations over the past eight months," Floyd said in an interview with The Associated Press. "Not any allegations involving cheating, but just a whole array of issues that they've been looking at over that duration of time."
Floyd, who became president of the four-campus system last January, said he deferred to the athletic department's NCAA compliance office to run the investigation — until the ex-girlfriend of former basketball player Ricky Clemons said recently she saw him receiving improper help completing school assignments.
On Monday, Floyd handed leadership of the investigation to Michael Devaney, an electrical engineering professor and three-decade Columbia campus veteran who recently completed a one-year term chairing the Faculty Council.
"With the most recent academic allegations, it became imperative to have faculty engagement" in investigating the allegations by Jessica Bunge, Floyd said
Wednesday night.
Sarah Reesman, associate athletic director for compliance, said Thursday the department investigation began soon after Clemons was arrested Jan.16.
In Floyd's statement Monday evening announcing the expanded Devaney investigation of the entire men's basketball program, he indicated there had been a long-running probe by the athletic department: "Over the past eight months that office has focused on a series of alleged violations involving the basketball program."
Floyd declined to name the matters now under investigation, and Reesman said she couldn't comment.

Josiane Lima middle blocker attempted a jump serve during a Kansas women's volleyball practice. The Jayhawks begin their 2003 campaign with a tournament at Northern Illinois University this weekend.
The Kansas volleyball team will play its season opener at 5 p.m. today in the Best Western Inn and Suites Invitational in Dekalb, Ill.

"We know they were 33-5 last year and they've got most all their starters back," coach Ray Bechard said. "They'll be a difficult opponent."
The team will take on the Western Kentucky University squad that made the NCAA Tournament last year.
cut opponent.
Josi Lima, sophomore middle blocker, knows Western Kentucky will be tough, but she thinks the team is prepared.
Assistant coach Jill Stucky said the team, which narrowly missed the NCAA tournament last year, has improved since the first day of practice.
"We've definitely come a long way," she said. "The first day of practice balls are flying off of us. Our
skill level is a whole lot better."
Despite many upsides to the team, the Jayhawks have been bitten by the injury bug. Caitlin Mahoney, freshman middle blocker, is unable to play this season due to injury.
And because of a recent injury, Andi Rozum, sophomore setter, will be sidelined indefinitely.
Rozum, who played a big part in the team's 19-victory season last year, will be missed. But Ashley Bechard, sophomore setter, will be asked to step up and take her place. Stucky isn't worried about the change in the lineup.
"We've adjusted to make that particular group better, with or without the injured people," she said.
Ashley Bechard, who played in only 10 matches last year, said she is ready for the challenge.

"It's really unfortunate that Andi's going to be out for a while," she said. "All I can do is do the best I can and rely a

There is, however, good news about Lima, who was battling a knee injury this summer. It is probable that she will play this weekend.

After the matchup with Western Kentucky, the Jayhawks will face Liberty University at 11 a.m. tomorrow, and the host team Northern Illinois at 7 p.m.

ST.LOUIS After taking most of the summer off, it was time for Orlando Pace to go to work.
Unlike Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk, who didn't start for the St. Louis Rams in the final tune for the regular season, a 22-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the annual Governor's Cup game, Pace, a contract holdout all summer, played most of the first half.
The Chiefs (3-2) also limited their star players' exposure or held them out altogether in a game so lacking in drama the biggest cheer of the night came when Kerry Robinson hit a game-winning ninth-inning homer as the Cardinals beat the Cubs at Busch Stadium.
"The biggest emphasis was to get out there, get a few plays and get out healthy," Rams
offensive tackle Kyle Turley said. "That's what I think we accomplished.
"It wasn't too ugly."
Kansas City's Trent Green played one series, completing his only pass for a 6-yard touchdown to Omar Easy in the first quarter. Priest Holmes didn't play, a precaution after his hip injury last year, and tight end Tony Gonzalez also sat after a minor knee injury on Tuesday.
"Obviously, it's nice to come to St. Louis without getting anyone hurt in a preseason game," Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said. "I don't know if that's an indication we're a good or bad football team."
But Pace played most of the first half for the Rams (1-3) to shake off the rust with a little more than a week to go before the start of the regular season.
The Chiefs open at home against San Diego.

Kansan Sportswriter
The Kansas women's soccer team will play the Wildcats this weekend, but these Wildcats aren't coming from the west.
The Jayhawks start their season off against Northwestern today. The team will then face Evansville on Sunday.
Coach Mark Francis said he's not sure what to expect from the weekend's opponents.
"The first weekend of the season is always tough because they haven't played any games," he said.
Francis is more clear about what to expect out of his players. He said the younger players were really pushing the returning players.
"You're probably going to see quite a few of them on the field this weekend," Francis said.
surt.
Northwestern is coming off a 4-9-5 season. The Wildcats return nine players who started at least 10 games last season, five of which started all 18 matches. The team also returns all of its scorers.
Anthony Manfretti, Northwestern sports information director, said the Wildcats would come to Lawrence as healthy as they have been in recent season openers. Manfretti said the Wildcat defense should be strong this year, despite giving up 30 goals last season. He said one of the team's main struggles last year was putting everything together and playing a complete game.
Evansville recorded a 6-12-2 finish last season and open their regular season in Lawrence. In an exhibition game against Miami of Ohio, the Purple Aces lost 2-0.
In a second exhibition game, the team lost 4-0 to Auburn in a game where they had only 13 healthy players.
Bob Boxell, Evansville sports information director, said the two early losses may not fully represent the team. The losses came against teams that reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season. Boxell said the team expected to be healthy when coming to Lawrence.
He said the team was strong with experience, including six seniors, four of who played on the 2001 NCAA Tournament
team. Boxell said the team would like to work on scoring after recording only 19 goals last season, a tough task against what should be a strong Kansas defense.
Coach Francis said he thought the Jayhawks wouldn't have trouble scoring this season. He knows the team needs to improve defensively from last year, but he thinks it has the talent to do so.
"I think defensively we need to give up fewer goals," he said. "Potentially we should be very good in back."
The Jayhawks play Northwestern at 5 tonight and Evansville at 1 p.m. Sunday. Both games will be played at SuperTarget Field.

Wildcats' big attack prowling into town
By Kevin Flaherty
kflaherty@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Mark Mangino has stressed several times this week that the Kansas football team would like to hit someone other than themselves.
That opportunity comes at 6 p.m. tomorrow against the Northwestern Wildcats.
Northwestern is led by sophomore Brett Basanez, a strongarmed quarterback who started nine games last season as a freshman. Basanez played three of those games on a broken leg.
Basanez said that the Wildcats were looking forward to tomorrow's game.
"I just can't wait to get out there and play." Basanez said at Camp Kenosha, Northwestern's training site.
"We've put in so much hard work in the offseason. We can't wait to get out there and play someone else."
For the last 11 years the Wildcats have traveled from Evanston, Ill., to Kenosha, Wis., to practice at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Basanez said they worked on timing and routes at this year's camp. For part of the camp they practiced on Astroplay turf, the same surface inside Memorial Stadium, so the team would not miss a step.
Basanez joins running back Jason Wright to form a very talented backfield.
Wright ran for 1,234 yards and 12 touchdowns last season while gaining 5.6 yards per carry. He is also generally considered to be one of the nation's top kick returners.
While the team worked to gain better offensive timing, they also tried to replace two three-year starters on the offensive line, and tried to find a defense.
Northwestern had the nation's second-worst defense last year, giving up an average of 502.3 yards,including 313.6 yards rush-
Nine starters return on the defensive side of the ball, but it remains to be seen if that is good
There is talent on the defense, starting with defensive end Loren Howard, the Sporting News 2002 Big Ten Defensive Freshman of the Year. The linebacking corps returns two starters and Pat Durr, who was scheduled to start last year, but injured his knee in the first game and missed the rest of the season.
"We haven't played the defense we would like to play or are capable of playing," Walker said. "We are bigger, stronger and faster this year, but then so i everybody else."
Northwestern coach Randy Walker said he expects to allow fewer points this year.
If the Wildcats defense struggles, fans can expect a lot of points in tomorrow's game, as both teams have strong offenses, but suspect defenses.

FOOTBALL/ Team hopes to earn respect tomorrow
2002, which ranked last in the Big 12. Three men who will have a big part in that will be the Jayhawks' triumvirate of sophomore linebackers, Banks Floodman, Gabe Toomey and Nick Reid.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Reid led the team in sacks last season with six, Floodman was knocked out for the season on opening day with a knee injury, and Toomey is a junior college transfer who once played at the University of Oklahoma. Even though it is their first game together, Mangino has no concerns, citing the unit's cohesiveness and hard work.
On offense, the main concern will be keeping quarterback Bill Whittimore healthy. Whittimore was knocked out for the season with a knee injury last fall against Missouri. In order to keep that from happening again, not only will the Jayhawks rely more upon tailback Clark Green to take carries, but White-
more's blind side will need added protection. That responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of senior tackle Adrian Jones, a converted tight end. Even though his role is especially important, Jones said the line had confidence that it could get the job done without any added pressure.
"It's the pressure that would be on any offensive line to protect their quarterback," Jones said. "Always have them healthy, keep sacks down, I guess there's really no serious pressure, just the normal pressure that would be on an offensive line."
Both coach Mangino and his players made it clear that they are putting no more emphasis on tomorrow's game than any other contest they will have this season. Though an aim of this Jayhawk team against Northwestern will be earning some respect, both in the conference and nationally.
"That's our goal in mind," Whittemore said. "Nobody's giving respect, and to be honest
with you we didn't earn much last year, but we've had a great attitude through two a-days and spring ball, and we're excited to get out there and prove people wrong."
Note
The Greater Augusta Sports Council announced Thursday that Kansas punter Curtis Ansel is among 32 punters on the watch list as a potential candidate for the 2003 Ray Guy Award, annually given to the nation's top punter.
Ansel led the Big 12 last year as a junior with 82 punt attempts and ranked sixth in the conference with an average of 42.2 yards per attempt. Ansel's most impressive statistic however were his 24 punts that were downed inside the 20-yard line.
Other Big 12 punters on this year's watch list include Missouri's Brock Harvey, Nebraska's Kyle Larson, Texas A&M's Cody Scates and Iowa State's Tony Yelk.

Baylor, Waco remember slain basketball player
The Associated Presc
WACO, Texas — A piano and an organ played the comforting strands of "It is Well With My Soul" as somber students and faculty members gathered last night to remember slain Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy.
A simple arrangement of flowers sat beneath a tall stained glass window at the front of Powell Chapel, as grieving friends and family joined those who never knew Dennehy in paying tribute to the 6-foot-10 forward whose body was found last month.
"Oh Lord, we do not grieve as those who have no hope, but we do grieve," he said.
"We mourn the death, but even more we celebrate the life of Patrick Dennehy," Todd Lake, Baylor's dean of university ministries, told the crowd of 300 before school president Robert Sloan led a prayer asking for God's comfort and grace.
"Patrick had such big aspirations in life. His dream was to play in the NBA and then to work in the front office in public relations," said John Cunningham, a Baylor communications professor who was close to Dennehy. Cunningham described him as one of the finest students he had ever taught.
Jessica De La Rosa, Dennehy's girlfriend of two years, said he believed where a person started wasn't as important as where they finished.
"Even though Patrick's body perished, his soul is alive," she said. "His soul is up in heaven ... so God's got him and Patrick finished as strongly as anybody ever could."
Dennehy's mother, Valorie Brabazon, dabbed her eyes with a tissue as Dick Bernal, pastor of Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose, Calif., recalled her son's life and commitment to Christianity.
"Patrick has not left us, he's just gone ahead of us," Lake said before mourners stood and sang "Amazing Grace."
Yesterday's memorial service marked the first event honoring Dennehy on the 722-acre campus on the banks of the Brazos River, where massive, spire-topped brick buildings tower above trees.
Scott Drew, hired to replace former coach Dave Bliss, and Dennehy's remaining teammates all attended the service. Speaking on behalf of the team before the memorial began, senior captain Matt Sayman said the players would take the night off from thinking or talking about basketball and dedicate it to remembering Dennehy.
Campus FOXSports.com to show football opener on Web
The University of Kansas has teamed up with FOXSports.com to bring Jayhawk fans a new way to follow their football team.
For the first time, the Jayhawks will be available for your viewing pleasure via the Internet. FOXSports, which has been broadcasting games each week on its Web site for three years, has chosen the Kansas vs. Northwestern match-up because of the national reputation of the schools and because of availability.
"We don't want to be broadcasting or rebroadcasting games that will already be on TV." Ed Bunnell, vice president of programming, said. "So what we hope to do is capture the highest profile games that are not available on national broadcast."
Bunnell said the webcasts were ideal for alumni who were not in the area anymore to keep in touch with their schools.
FOXSports is looking to broaden the popularity of the new viewing option by showing games from more conferences. The weekly broadcasts bring in between 10,000 and 30,000 viewers, and cost $9.95 for one month of games.
"We're not in it to make money at this point," Bunnell said. "We're in it to be movers and show the world what we can do."

Work continues on men's hoops schedule

Kansas staff writer
After weeks of contacting schools and waiting on court rulings the Kansas Athletics Department is getting closer to finalizing this season's men's basketball schedule.
On Wednesday the United States Supreme Court rejected an appeal by organizers of the Guardians Classic and other preseason men's basketball tournaments to overturn a stay on the NCAA's two-in-four rule. The rule is designed to eliminate teams from playing in more than two exempt tournaments over a four-year period.
"We agreed to wait for the court's decision, and now we don't have to wait until the end of the week," said Larry Keating, Kansas senior associate athletics
director referring to the court's ruling on Wednesday.
Kansas was originally scheduled to participate in the Guardian's Classic taking place with two games in Allen Fieldhouse on Nov. 17 to 18 and two games on Nov. 24 to 25 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. The Jayhawks must now remove themselves from the tournament's field because of their participation in the 2002 Preseason National Invitational Tournament and the 2001 Maui Invitational.

tional.
With Kansas ineligible for the Guardians Classic, the Jayhawks will begin a home-and-home series with Michigan State this year on Nov. 25 in Allen Fieldhouse. Had Kansas played in the Guardians Classic, the series would have been pushed back a season because both teams were in the tournament's
According to Keating, Kansas has scheduled a home meeting with Richmond on Jan. 10, which will be televised by ESPN. That leaves just one more game to be scheduled for Kansas to have a complete schedule for the 2003-2004 season.
"We would like to have a game on television,but we need to bring in a quality opponent to Allen Fieldhouse that will not be a part of a home-and-home series," Keating said.
series. Reading The Jayhawks have tentative home non-conference games with Tennessee-Chattanooga (Nov. 21), Fort Hays State (Dec.10) and SUNY-Binghamton (Dec.29). Kansas will also play Oregon on Dec. 13 at Kemper Arena and travel to Kenny, Nev., for games against Cal Santa Barbara and Nevada in the Reno classic on Dec. 20-21. The rest of
the non-conference state will include a trip to Fort Worth, Texas, to play TCU on Dec. 1 and a spot in the Wooden Classic on Dec. 6 against Stanford in Anaheim, Calif.
Kansas begins conference play at Colorado on Jan. 5 and concludes the Big 12 Conference schedule with a trip to Columbia, Mo., for the final game in the Hearnes Center against rival Missouri.
As the department continues to finalize the schedule, the Kansas ticket office has had to go ahead and print student vouchers for home men's basketball games as part of the all-sports combo pack that was issued to students starting Aug. 18.
The vouchers have listings for the first and second rounds of the Guardians Classic, and two games listed as to be announced.
Rodney Jones, director of
ticket operations, said when the students brought vouchers in to be redeemed for tickets, the students would receive an explanation about why the tickets did not include the Guardians Classic.
"What we didn't want to do was have the students have to come back later and pick up their basketball tickets," Jones said. "We wanted to make it as easy as possible for the students."
Brian Horn, Butler, Mo., senior, said he understood the student ticket situation but was dismayed by the difficulty of finishing the schedule.
missing the scheduler.
"The ticket situation shouldn't be a big deal," Horn said.
"But I think it's surprising how television and money play such a large part in the scheduling of games."
Ex-Pistons coach first on list for Indiana job
- Edited by JJ Hensley
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Rick Carlisle was passed over by Indiana when the team was looking for a coach three years ago and hired Isiah Thomas. It turns out Carlisle will likely get another chance to lead the Pacers.
Carlisle is the top choice of Larry Bird, who, in his first move as Pacers president of basketball operations, fired Thomas on Wednesday and paved the way for the return of his former assistant.
"He's my first choice," Bird said. "We've got other guys on the list, so if we can't work anything out with Rick, we'll just move on."
Carlisle and Bird's relationship dates to the 1980s, when they were teammates with the Boston Celtics. Carlisle also was
an assistant for Bird's Pacers from 1997 to 2000 before Thomas was hired by Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh.
Carlisle spent the past two seasons coaching the Detroit Pistons before being fired in May - despite winning two straight division titles and the 2002 NBA Coach of the Year award.
award Bird spoke with Carlisle on Tuesday and Wednesday about the vacancy. Numerous phone messages were left for Carlisle
"I think a new coach coming in is going to bring some freshness, a new style and hopefully he can play the game the way I like it to be played," Bird said.
o playeR Carlisle, in his first head coaching job, helped turn Detroit from a lottery team into one of the top teams in the East. He led the Pistons to a 100-64 regular-season record and a 12-15 postseason mark.
Like Carlisle, Thomas was abruptly fired after three seasons and a 131-115 regular-season record. The Pacers made the playoffs all three years, with one of the youngest rosters in the league, but never advanced past the first round.
At the end of the season, Thomas received a public vote of confidence from Walsh. When Bird was hired as president in early July and Walsh became CEO, the power shifted.
The Walsh era is done. This is Bird's team now.
Bird's team said, "I was disappointed that Larry and I didn't get a chance to work together," Thomas said. "I truly felt we would have been good together. I'm disappointed we don't get a chance."
Thomas, who was in Puerto Rico with the U.S. men's basketball team at the Olympic
qualifying tournament, arrived in Indianapolis early Wednesday and went straight to Conseco Fieldhouse to meet with Bird.
Bird.
"I said I'm disappointed he didn't give himself an opportunity to know me." Thomas said of the conversation. "I think he would have liked me had he got to know me."
Pacers players have continued to voice support for Thomas. Jermaine O'Neal, then a free agent, said before he re-signed with the team last month that he would not play for anybody but Thomas with the Pacers.
O'Neal, in Puerto Rico as part of the U.S. team, said he wouldn't have re-signed with Indiana if he had known Thomas was going to be fired.
"Am I disappointed? Hell, yeah. I'm extremely disappointed for multiple reasons."
O'Neal said. "I was told he would be here before I resigned."
Bird said he didn't feel comfortable with the Pacers' direction after a second-half swoon that knocked them out of first place in the Eastern Conference and into third.
Bird also said there were other problems with Thomas.
"I spoke to him one day in a meeting, and I talked to him one day on the phone. The communication wasn't really there," Bird said.
Thomas described their conversations as "positive" ones about the players and the direction of the franchise.
Bird, however, said he had a "gut feeling this wasn't going to work" after only seven weeks on the job. He said he would have fired Thomas even if Carlisle wasn't available.

Chang, Sampras leave Agassi after U.S. Open
NEW YORK — It's getting a bit lonely out there for Andre Agassi.
One by one, the generation of American stars who grew up playing junior tennis against each other in the 1980s and collected Grand Slam singles titles together for more than a decade is calling it quits.
Michael Chang lost his final match as a pro Tuesday at the U.S. Open in a far more muted farewell than Pete Sampras'
retirement announcement the night before.
And Agassi? He isn't done yet not by a long shot.
"It's a weird feeling. You just sort of expect to leave the dance with the ones you came with," Agassi said.
While Sampras waited a year after his last match, beating Agassi in the 2002 U.S. Open final to tell the world he was finished, Chang has been on a farewell tour since the beginning of the season and made clear the Open would be it for him.
And unlike the hait-hour tribute to Sampras replete with a choir and speeches, there was no big celebration of Chang's career Tuesday, although the U.S. Tennis Association has talked with him about doing something next week.
Only a few thousand fans were on hand for the start of his match against No. 15-seeded Fernando Gonzalez, but, as always, Chang gave it his all.
"On court, it would be nice to be able to be remembered as a person that gave his best — win, lose or draw," said Chang, whose
career highlight was winning the 1989 French Open at age 17. "It's going to be tough leaving tennis."
Chang used to be among highly seeded players, reaching No. 2 in the rankings. He would have made it to No. 1 had he beaten Sampras in the 1996 U.S. Open final.
But now, at 31, he's a step slower, and can't get to the shots he used to. He won just two of 12 matches this year.
Still, Chang showed plenty of fire Tuesday. He rocked back on his heels and pumped his arms repeatedly after a backhand passing winner down the line in the first game of the second set against Gonzalez.
against Government. However, Agassi is outlasting other members of his age group and outplaying most of the younger set, too. Never before had a man his age risen to No. 1 in the ATP Tour computer rankings.
"For me, I have to answer that question a lot: 'Is this still what I want to be doing?' I ask it every day, one way or another," Agassi said. "I have a strong sense of obligation to this game for everything it's given to me."
